The Sweetness of Life - Station Eleven (2021) Ep5-6

Podcasts Aug 24, 2025

You stare through the glass at the silent world. The transparent barrier forever sealed, and as you look out, death watches back, invisible, waiting.

David and Patrick are joined by ‪@DarthdYT‬ to follow Severn City through the end of the world and then meeting up with the Undersea.

Darth: I'm right there with Pat that I enjoyed five a lot more specifically because it's the portion of the collapse that so frequently gets skipped over. And the portion that--and maybe it's just I'm so OCD--I love seeing how things get organised and so I wanted to see how does the museum organise? How do they what? Who's in charge and how did they get to that point?

And so that's mostly even though a lot it did get skipped over. You know they talk about having plenty of food but we don't really see a lot of it, but it's the closest that I've gotten in a whole lot of these kind of shows. Where it normally skips to way post and you don't the collapse. So yeah, I absolutely loved it.

Six I also liked, but at the same time I was also very aggressively like "Kirsten, just kill the kids. It's--you can do this. You got it.

D.C. McNeill: Oh god, okay. We're gonna have a fun chat later about moral relativism. Jesus.

Darth: Right?

D.C. McNeill: That you land on kill the kids immediately is interesting.

Darth: I'm gonna quote David McNeill here, because you have said on stream "Normally I don't advocate killing kids, but I advocate killing this kid."

D.C. McNeill: Yes, because that fucking Mandalorian kid needs to go. He needs to go. Okay. He needs to be done with. I'm not having a bar of it. Get rid of him. In the bin. Just knock off--ZeroIndent, as a company, doesn't endorse child murder except under those specific circumstances.

Um, you know, that's not something that I thought I would be saying today. When I woke up this morningand I went to make myself a cup of coffee. I'll have a shower. Get ready for the podcast. I didn't anticipate having to say that, but you've put us here Darth. In the first ten minutes I have to say this company does not endorse killing kids except under two circumstances. One, they're incredibly annoying. And then two, if they're trying to kill you, I think that's like, acceptable to me. I think that's a fine thing to say.

So I'm going to move on before I say anything else that's particularly incriminating.

Patrick: Uhuh. If anything you're respecting the kids, you know, respecting them as people that can kill you.

D.C. McNeill: Pat, you know, that is such a good point. I'm teating them with the same respect that I would treat any adult. And isn't that, you know, a mature thing to do and a mature way to behave? I think so, probably.
