Chapter 1: What happened during the Columbine massacre?
No. by a goddamn river snake while you're serving for your country and you come back and no one comes to the parade.
Well, he wasn't tough at all. He was shell-shocked. He had kind of a stutter. Yeah, okay, everyone needs to just quiet down. Now get real quiet. You're just being a little bit too loud.
That's so much worse.
That's so much worse than aggressive.
It is so much worse.

Chapter 2: How did the Columbine massacre affect students?
It was so much worse because I'd just sit there and watch him and just be like,
like this guy like everyone's war does to him you just see like his eyes go blank and you hear like as he's like watching like jungles burn no this guy is this is the end
Only friends. Saigon. Shit.
It's him doing the karate in front of the mirror at home. No, he's that guy that was in the scene where they show up in the fucking trench warfare and they're like, who's in charge here? And the guy goes, hey. Yeah, that was that guy's Vietnam. He did not come back tough at all.
Oh, no, no. Believe me, the culture wars we're in are going to be no different. The culture wars what? That we're in right now? We're all just veterans of the culture war, friend. We are. You and me, Eddie. This is just, we're front lines, green berets in the culture war. It's my Vietnam.
We're in it. So one of the things that has kind of, I guess, gotten bigger since we did our episode, as far as an update on the cultural significance of Columbine, is that we saw a large increase in Columbine fandom. Oh, yes. Really? This was a big deal. I mean, really, I would say it started around the time that most weird things started on the internet. It was about 2012.
God damn, that's just the year that everything changed. Yeah.
Tumblr and all of that, the idea, that's when we went full, like, digital hive mind. That was like when it was really starting to happen, when we were really starting to see the secret thoughts that probably should have kept secret or kept niche. You know what I mean?
The idea of serial killer group release is not, it's not a new phenomenon, but it is, it got definitely super powered by the internet.
