Alright, welcome to Painkiller Already, episode 282 with our guest Jeremy from CinemaSins.
I'd like to thank our sponsors of tonight's show, Squarespace, Dollar Shave Club, Helix Sleep, Headspace, Score Big, Total War, Warhammer, and Wendy's.
Speaking of Wendy's...
Wendy's, you say? Well, right now I'm not talking to everyone listening. I'm just talking to you.
That's because Wendy's Jalapeno Fresco Spicy Chicken Sandwich is so flavorful and so hot,
it's not for everyone.
It's just for you.
We tried it.
We loved it.
It's made from Colby Jack cheese, fresh jalapenos, ghost pepper sauce,
and, of course, a fresh toasted jalapeno bun.
And for all of those out there who really want to turn up the heat,
you want to pair that with those Wendy's ghost pepper fries.
So check them out today.
We all liked them.
They're very spicy, very good.
Like Woody says, they really took a risk with these things, but I'm digging them.
The jalapeno fresco spicy chicken sandwich is only available for a limited time at participating
Wendy's, so go get yours today.
All right.
Our guest is Jeremy Scott from Cinema Sins.
His video's not on right now.
Before the show started, it was coming and going, so we expect it to come back.
I give five sins for that.
I deserve it, obviously.
Several sins, yeah.
My video's working fine on my end. Just for the
record, this could be some
kind of smear campaign conspiracy
on the part of you guys.
Just for the record. I just want to state that for the listeners.
He caught on
way faster than everybody else. I'm having a hard enough time
with my own internet for me to interfere
with yours, which is an amazing undertaking
for someone with my skills, I promise you.
Although right now, I'm rocking 30 down,
30 up, so I might just not
say anything when the lights go off here and
just stay here and game tonight.
Nice.
Everything's pretty much gone according to plan
for starting the show today right
you know i i don't want to really write can you hear me okay if i speak at this level yes yes
so i don't want to raise my voice too loud because cindy the um the lady who is in charge of booking
not all my accommodations thus far um as well as a number of other i think she's got lots of
responsibilities so it's not like her job is like getting people hotels her job right now is getting me some water taking a long
fucking time just gonna say it uh it's okay there's no way she could ever find out what
we're about to say i hope she does because she needs i told her a minute ago i was like i feel
disrespected i feel like you don't care very much about me um and she's just oh no and i'm like oh
yeah oh yeah she's like how's the new place i'm like well there's a there's an
old mattress in the kitchen there's an old mattress in the kitchen and the internet's
terrible that's why i'm here that's why i'm here and we had this long talk like like this there
was planning like you remember how it went last time it helps yeah this time before i came back
i was like let's nail down this fucking accommodation bullshit like i'm not coming
back unless we can nail that down and i'm staying in in an okay place. It looks okay. It's fine. It's somewhat lived in,
but I think you get that with Airbnb. I don't know. This guy's
stuff is there. You know, the refrigerator has his shit in it. Like, he has an office back there
with, like, that's, like, his stuff's in there. Like, his computer, and it looks like he, I don't know
what he does for a living, but there are a lot of, like, LCD screens lying around
that look like the kind that go on the front of a laptop.
All the wiring is exposed on the back.
They're sort of newly packaged.
So I got there
this afternoon. It sounds like for a camera, maybe.
No, these are big
LCD screens.
And they're flat.
It's not like a panel.
It's not wired
into anything. It's ready to be installed, I suppose but i got here just in the nick of time uh to my hotel this afternoon to
make this show happen we're doing a little bit early tonight or at least that was the plan
and uh i checked the internet and it was 0.7 upload and and or excuse me 0.7 download and
3.0 upload um kind of a weird disparity there. It's usually the other end,
you know, bigger download than upload.
But I think that's common around here
for God knows what reason.
And then I tried tethering to my phone.
And at first I tried to like,
I followed your instructions completely
and did the whole thing.
And it says not, it was unable to connect.
And then I tried to just do an open tether
that anybody in the apartment building
presumably could just connect to.
And that wouldn't work either.
So I got a ride to the movie studio.
So this is my, like, well, this isn't actually my dressing room.
But this is one of the dressing rooms on the movie studio.
So small setup, 30 by 30, shouldn't have any issues.
Very upset at Cindy, though.
Cindy's just the worst.
Tell me more about the conversation.
Oh, gosh, don't get me started on Cindy.
Because you're like, hey, I feel really disrespected.
And I kind of – I was telling Jackie about that in a car ride today
because I was just like – he was out there last week for – is it four days?
Do I have that right?
Yeah.
And they didn't – like that whole trip didn't need to happen.
Well, see, that didn't bother me.
So the first trip I came out here and I was scheduled to film for two days.
But the first day was important because that was wardrobe. I had to get fitted for this
suit and we had to figure out if I was going to wear this big
ridiculous wig or not and we had to figure out
how to do the scar on my eye and everything.
And filming just got pushed
and they just didn't need me for
any of those days. So yeah, that sucked
that it got delayed so much.
But now I'm back out here and I wish they could get
my fucking accommodation situation
handled. It's awful.
Can I ask what you're filming? Are you allowed
to talk about that? I'm curious.
No, I'm not.
Oh, well then I just ruined
the podcast. Sorry. No, you
didn't. No, you didn't.
It's fine. I've mentioned that before
that I can't go into details about what I'm
doing. There's always an NDA or two between me and that.
But yeah, we'll see what you wrote here.
Alright, well I look forward to whatever it is.
It doesn't matter about that because of the NDA that I'm under and all.
I understand that. I was typing it before you said it.
I hear you.
mind yeah and all i i understand that i was typing it before you said i hear you i hear you yeah so so yeah i'm back out here again the first actual hockey fan that we've ever had on the show which
means that we can have a real conversation about hockey no woody well you're not your host doesn't
count like first guest where we could talk about it because every time we have a guest on it's
always like i don't know it's even the one canadian guy that we get doesn't give a shit harley you know i was so excited about him
coming on and he just oh no i'm not into hockey you know i'm the one canadian who doesn't wow
how is that even possible right i know right really if you want to find a hockey fan you
gotta look in nashville apparently i thought it was in the dna of canadian people like that was
like part of the breeding process.
He apologized, so... It should be.
So Nashville is playing San Jose.
They're about to start in four minutes right now.
You have my completely divided attention.
He's talking mad shit to Jeremy.
Yeah, well, he likes to talk shit,
but he's a new hockey fan,
and he's sort of like dealing with freshmen in high school you know
you could just talk too much and you just kind of shrug and put up with jeremy's counter shit is the
best so here's the deal chis doesn't have a history with hockey so he'll say things that are like like
astute observations like really intelligent stuff that you know he just read, right? Like he read it minutes earlier talking about some guy's power play percentage
and, I don't know, man advantage and penalty this or whatever.
Like he'll break down something and you're like, dude,
where did he pick that shit up?
Because I know it's not a personal observation.
And then 10 seconds later he'll be like, why do they pull the goalie?
Can you just do that anytime you want
what's the funniest thing about it is like
like as a blues fan
I don't talk shit because
it's never panned out
ever and so no matter how much
I'm beating someone that game where we
butt fucked Dallas last night
didn't say I didn't say anything before the game was over like I even then the only thing I tweeted was a picture of the Dow
Or the yeah the Dallas bench and all the fans behind there with that crying Michael Jordan face on
And that was hilarious to me
But I love how they're doing that with everyone but shiz doesn't know enough about the Sharks
To know that he should not be talking shit.
Because right behind the Blues, the Sharks are the biggest chokemasters of all time.
Well, we've got Anaheim out there, too.
But, yeah, I applaud his enthusiasm.
I have been enjoying Chiz's enthusiasm for hockey.
And when I was a new hockey fan, I was probably exactly the same way.
So I'm having fun with it.
It's just funny to know that he doesn't have quite the history that his tweets might suggest he does.
Yes.
Yes, yeah.
There's a lot of very specific critiques on, you know,
he's like, you know, I really think that San Jose's zone entry
has been lacking recently.
Ward hasn't been, you know, his forecheck has has been bad he doesn't look like he's trying out there
what's it called when they shoot the ice the the icing machine that it's the
ice yeah they did all that work to make it not as slippery and then they ruin it
you know so a question for you about about nashville barrett jackman is a huge figure or was
here for the st louis blues since we drafted him and he was one of our defensemen for over a decade
i think or at least a decade and we traded him to you guys how's i haven't followed him really at
all since that trade how's he been doing for you well well enough i mean i think he was at a point in his career where i mean we've got i think one of the best decor in the league right we've got shea weber
roman yosi we just traded away ryan suiter and kevin klein in the last two years rd has been
solid for a long time so i don't think he was brought in to be a top three defenseman i think
he was brought in you in for that veteran experience
and to maybe mentor, because our decor is still pretty young.
And I've been pretty impressed.
I've watched the play of the offensive players
more than the defensive players.
I'm almost always watching Mike Fisher or Phillip Forsberg
or one of those guys just to see what they're doing,
whether they have the puck or not.
Now, five years ago, it was David Leguan,
who was one of my favorite Preds players ever,
even though he never lived up to what he should have.
His puck handling and speed were insane,
and you never knew when he was going to create something.
And that's why I tend to watch the offensive players more.
But I've been really happy with that, Trey.
What did you guys get back for him?
Are you happy with what you got?
I don't even remember what we got for him.
Didn't we get a pick?
I think you did.
I think you did.
I think we did.
Because, yeah, that's definitely the reason they brought him in for you guys
because he is a veteran defenseman.
And, like, people now, they look only at stats.
Like Chiz, he fell into this trap with Brent Burns,
the star defenseman for San Jose. they look at only its stats like chis he fell into this trap with brent burns uh the stars or the
star defenseman for san jose he gets a ton of points a lot of goals and assists for a defenseman
he used to play winger that's why but if you look at his actual stats it's like yeah he's getting a
lot of fucking goals and assists but he's on the ice giving a lot of opportunities away too whereas
like barrett jackman a defensive defenseman he's never going to have a good goal every time he scored in st louis like even the fans treated
it like you know the handicapped kid on the soccer team they like put the ball in front of him they
let and they his parents came out and wheeled him in front everybody's like oh my god jackman you
you oh my god jackman that's so great we're so proud of you i think nobody expects him to score
he fills the role on defense the way pa Gostad does on offense for us,
bringing just his experience.
He's solid.
He's not going to make a huge mistake.
He's a shutdown guy.
Yeah, yeah.
I've been very happy.
He's one of those stay-at-home guys.
We've got plenty of offensive defensemen on our team.
Shea Weber and Yossi like to shoot almost as much as anyone on our offensive line.
But, no, I've been really happy with it.
It's fun to talk hockey.
I've never guessed it on a podcast where they even gave a shit.
Oh, it's great.
I've never hosted on a podcast where they gave a shit.
All right.
Yeah, Kyle could not care any less, but I am so glad that Chiz is into it now.
The winner of San Jose versus Nashville plays St. Louis.
That's correct. So this is
dramatic, guys. Well, you're either
going to be fighting with your own co-host
and his
fake fandom, or you're
going to be fighting with me
probably, you know,
in make-believe land, since we're
doing this podcast now and the series will be later.
Well, this is 2016. I like to think over the internet is where real fighting happens now yeah you can
i'll send a few nasty tweets your way and and nasty tweets do tend to rule my decision making
right like that i base most of my life on what twitter is saying to me as you should
yeah i for one based my life on what reddit and youtube me. As you should. I, for one, base my life on what Reddit
and YouTube comments say.
See, I don't even read the YouTube comments
anymore.
I mean, I can't.
I don't
read your YouTube comments, so maybe
your fan base is a little nicer
than ours.
You know what? With the exception of today,
my fan base has turned
really nice.
Yeah.
Like, if you were to go back
to when I made all these gaming videos,
that wasn't true.
But now on the vlog videos,
even my mom called me to tell me
how nice everybody was being.
Wow.
If my mom called me to tell me she saw,
let alone just saw one of my videos,
I think I would die.
Oh, my world's crossover all I would die. Like, oh.
My worlds crossover all the time now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I got my mom calling my wife, talking about my videos.
And it's just the whole thing is, yeah.
That sounds awful.
It must always feel like you're trying
to get away with doing something bad in high school,
where you're listening for your mom know your wife talking on the phone hoping they're not
talking about what you said oh can you do i don't know yeah so my like my friends my mom uh they all
know my wife does not watch my stuff and that leads for i don't know people like talking about
this but yeah my mom will talk to my wife about something and if it's pka or whatever she has no idea what she's
talking about if it's things that happen in real life she knows typically like oh yeah yeah he was
out you know doing that the other day and she can keep up yeah my wife doesn't watch our stuff either
like in in the beginning i used to like try like oh you've seen this movie watch
this bit since video for the and she was so polite like she would sit there for
ten minutes and so it's not I don't I don't force it upon her anymore I've
learned my lesson I've got a similar thing but it's usually not my videos
it's people that I admire it's like you know check out this guy's video did
don't you get like a an excited vibe from this thing it's 12 minutes into
this video and I'm still wait you know like thirsting for more yeah you know
and she's like no no I don't feel that way at all I really like to leave right
now I don't remember who said this or if it's like a comedian or something but
there is nothing more horrible than having to sit through a youtube video that someone's showing you because it is
there even if it's a video you would watch independently it's like i want to watch this
on my own late at night when i'm procrastinating like i don't want you to come to me in the middle
of the day and like make me especially if it's on a phone oh my god and if it's a song just shoot me if i have
to sit there and watch a music video on someone's phone again like that's so inconsiderate dude the
like the song in particular is i think is the worst the worst like it and whenever you play
a song for something like i don't do it anymore but like years ago whenever you're like dude you'll
like this song check this out and you play it and you're like, uh...
Hold on. The good part's gonna come.
No, no, no. It gets good.
It gets good. And then the good part comes and it's
like anticlimactic and it just...
It's a fail. Don't play songs for people.
You're sitting there like...
You're looking down at their phone, but they're
always looking right at the side of your head
seeing how you're watching it.
And it's like, now you're studying to make sure
I'm paying attention to your bullshit music video
on your iPhone 6.
That's not fair. I wouldn't do that
to you. Can you tell Cindy
to maybe hustle it up?
Yeah.
Hey, Cindy. What's up?
Cindy, more coffee.
We've heard not nice things about you
Yeah, you sound like a real terror
You've disappointed Kyle badly
Kyle does not like you, Cindy
Kyle, is Cindy still there?
No, it wasn't Cindy
Cindy put me in a room with a bunch of people's stuff
So people are filtering in and out to get their things
Oh!
Cindy fails again
How many levels has she failed on today like six
when you said cindy i feel really disrespected and she said oh no was that like oh well chucks
now that i'm aware i'm about to do something no she didn't care it was just like oh no what a
shame i can't wait till i exit this conversation and do nothing was it like the kind of customer
service you get from the government where they're like oh oh really ah darn you don't like it that
sucks because we're the only one yeah you know you can't go buy your license from you know a
private institution but yeah very frustrating very much frustrating uh did burns just score chis chis just ducked out
he said he needed to restart his skype uh anyway i'm sure jeremy will keep updates with the score
oh shucks they did yeah like i said before you have my divided attention i'm looking at the
game every three seconds. I apologize
in advance, but I love hockey,
and technical delays
that are no one's fault caused this to
be a little later than we thought, and goddammit,
my team has never had a more important game.
Yeah, Cindy and Kyle.
So the people, I'm
screencapping all the things, and they shifted.
When Chiz gets back, everything will be fine
again, but I feel like
it'll take
me as long to fix it as it will for him
to get back.
It's not worth it.
Oh, the gun
used to shoot Trayvon Martin
is for auction.
Yeah. I put in a bid.
What kind of sick bastard
Oh, wait.
Yeah, that's messed up. When I read about that, that's terrible. Say what you want about
that guy. I think we've kind of rehashed the scenario on how things went down two or three
different times and we come to the conclusion that everyone involved was a bad guy. That's
what I believe because it seems that um peterson
and martin were both at fault in their own ways peterson seems like an overzealous uh gunner gun
nut and that's coming from me okay um like you know patrolling his neighborhood i imagine him
doing like like dressed all in black and doing like barrel rolls through the bushes and stuff
and like popping up like looking around um Meanwhile, Trayvon is certainly
no angel.
They're like, oh, he was just trying to go home
with his Skittles and tea, and then we learned that
there's some street drug called lean,
and those are ingredients to it, and he was
into that. There are no angels
in this scenario, but
Peterson, what a scumbag for selling that.
That is...
Pardon me. Who's Peterson?
He runs a football for Minnesota.
Ah, of course.
Adrian Peterson.
Yes, yes.
So close.
Well, in any case, real scumbag move doing that.
I don't know what to say about that.
That just seems so low class, so like.
Dude, I don't know if I might edit it out.
He's just a desperate attempt to get back in the public eye.
He's just a piece of shit that now has no job prospects
and has to rely on
basically baiting racists
into paying for his stupid shit.
I think he's just trying to make money.
Yeah, he just needs money.
I bet he doesn't want to be in the public eye.
Such an asshole.
Dude, so to me...
Look, I'm not buying the gun.
So don't get it twisted.
But I have this Mosin-nagant that
was used in world war ii and something about it is interesting to me because
kyle's face is killing me yeah it's how he does that he does it's cool so because like i picture
some frightened russian like in the mud, clutching to this thing, shooting.
It's antiquity.
It's a piece of history.
Now, would you feel the same if you had a Japanese Arasaka rifle that they had used in the rape of, what is it, Nanking?
Nanking.
Nanking.
And they bayoneted the babies and stuff.
If you had one of those baby bayoneting rifles, would you feel the same wouldn't you feel bad it's just history no but like it would be more interesting
to me so so i have a brand new gun not brand new but you know i have a gun that i bought that's
never shot anything but paper and it's more accurate than the mosin-nagant it's got a scope it's better in most measurable ways
but the mosin-nagant is neater to me yeah i don't think there's any problem with like just keeping
one that was used in the rape of nan king or whatever as a historic piece because it's like
yeah that was a bad part of history but it's still history like if you had one of those like
iron crosses from the nazis you don't have to put it on your wall and be like,
that's what I like.
You can just be like, this is a piece of history.
This is cool that this is history right here.
Funny you should mention that.
My buddy had a Luger he was trying to sell one time.
It was a German officer's Luger.
He's like, look, they didn't deface it or anything
because that was common after the war.
Bring back weapons. Americans would bring back
captured weapons, but they would deface them.
Especially Lugers. Yeah, they would deface them
and take the Nazi insignia off.
And of course, to a collector in modern days, you're like,
no! But, you know,
post-World War II, you're like, fuck Nazis!
You know, who cares, right?
But he had one with all the emblems intact
and, and I don't know how you verify this, but he claimed that this had come from a concentration camp
and that this pistol had been used to execute Jews and that there were blood speckle pitting on the barrel.
You could never know that.
They explained to me that because of the way that the pitting was and the pattern that it was in,
you could tell that it had been put to someone's head
and fired and the blood had speckled back and then
been left on the gun and had corroded in such a way.
That's what they said. Now I don't
know how they figured that out. They get the gun CSI
in or whatever or maybe he's just
wishful thinking on his part. If you can call it that.
Like what kind of anti-Semite is like
yeah it took a few down.
Right, right, yeah, yeah.
I think you have to
be a real special kind of piece shit to be collecting like nazi memorabilia and looking
at it longingly but i don't understand the whole thing of like wanting to collect world war ii stuff
but somehow like oh no no no no no like the german stuff totally off limits that's ridiculous to me
the russian and american stuff is the neatest uh And then after that, the German stuff
is really neat. The Japanese stuff is really neat.
It's all...
Does antiquity mean piece of history?
It's an antique machine that
played a role in
global history. Okay, but let's center
the conversation. We're talking about George Zimmerman.
This is two, three years ago.
This is not an antiquity. This is not history.
On a smaller scale, though. It is history, three years ago. This is not an antiquity. This is not history. On a smaller scale, though.
This is totally different than a Nazi's pistol.
It is history, though, I think.
I feel like...
This is evidence.
Stop, Chiz.
You can't just join the...
I think Chiz is a great host.
I think he does a wonderful job,
and he's always welcome to be on.
But I think what we do here, where he's always welcome to be on but i think what
we do here where he just writes his own inside jokes and we read him is it's not a good show
but uh uh what was i gonna say about the gun being you said we were gonna defend the george
zimmerman gun sales i guess what i was saying was like i i feel like in the same way that
like the black lives matters movement got founded by, is it Michael Brown?
Who was killed by that cop in Ferguson?
Michael Brown.
Okay.
I feel like in terms of history, the Trayvon Martin thing is the same significance as the Michael Brown thing.
It becomes part of a series of events where people are
looking at police indifferent and the militarization of police and it's a it's not world war ii i get
that but i don't know something about it i'm not buying it but i saw it for sale and i was like i
can understand why somebody would this sounds dumb but it hasn't been long enough for it to be history
yeah like it's just it's a couple years ago and there's a difference between you know you know wow this is a rifle that was assigned to a japanese
guy and he stormed into nan king and was killing people willy-nilly like what an awful part of
history but you still have to remember the bad parts of history too and it's different than
oh yeah this this guy shot trayvon martin and i just want to remember that. There's no value in remembering that. I want to know what
happens from that shooting
to make this gun worthy
of me caring about.
We are nowhere near
far enough out to know that. I went to the
Ford Museum in Detroit and I saw the car
that Lincoln was shot in, or the
chair that Lincoln was shot in, the car that JFK
was shot in, and I understand
the historical importance
of those things being preserved but we don't know what this gun means yet and we won't for 10 or 20
years it's way too soon this is a broke ass motherfucker just looking for some cash trying
to cash in on a hot button issue and he's gonna succeed because we've got all these trump supporters
out there who are probably all
kicking each other's asses trying to bid on this shit.
Maga, he has sold
lots of things. I remember he was
doing, he does all kinds of things
that are firearm related and conservative leaning.
It seems like he was selling paintings
for a while, doing his own art
and lots of firearms related stuff. He'll go to
grand openings of gun stores
and do appearances at gun stores and stuff.
Like I said, I don't think he did anything wrong,
criminally speaking.
I just think he's an asshole and a scumbag
and a low-class individual to sell this thing.
It's morally but not legally reprehensible.
I don't know how much money he has,
but I have more sympathy for him.
If he can't get a job and he's selling
stuff that you know like like this gun um yeah like I I get the spot he's in you know I don't
if he's broke I mean I I do and I don't I mean I do in the sense that I've been broke and I spent
two years the first time I moved to Nashville I sold my amp to a pawn shop every other week but this guy was like you said news for six months with his exactly and then calling him a monster so
he can't get a job he was out patrolling with his gun looking for bad guys that he thought needed to
be eradicated before any of this ever happened i think i mean wasn't he the leader of like citizen
watch and there were recent break-ins yep something like that i don't mean i just don't think i mean hey i patrol my yard
with an assault rifle all the fucking time and hey what am i doing out there but looking for
bad guys right and if i but but the thing is if i saw somebody like walking around my first
inclination wouldn't be to fucking kill them it would be like hey what are you doing here well
neither you shouldn't be here you don't belong here would be like, hey, what are you doing here? You shouldn't be here. You don't belong here.
The problem I have is that it seemed like
neither Zimmerman or Martin were the sort to de-escalate.
If I was either one of them, none of this would have happened.
If I was Trayvon Martin, I would have said,
oh, yeah, there's a misunderstanding here.
My uncle is right there, and I don't normally stay here,
but that's why i had to jump
the fence but i'm just going to my uncle's home i'll be sleeping watch when i knock on the door
he'll answer and they'll all say hey trayvon and it's cool and or if i was zimmerman i would have
been like hey like what are you doing here and if he's like you know nothing i'm gonna be laying
out you gotta understand we've had some break-ins recently on citizens watch the community watch and uh
i'm just making sure everything is chill you chill like on either side if they're reasonable
it would have been cool but i think we should buy the gun pka should buy the gun we should have it
i don't want anything to do with buying that minimum bid we'll all get a you know a week
with it at a time or whatever we'll'll pass it around, do shit with it.
I heard Maury Povich on the Howard Stern show today,
and he was talking about his friendship with George H.W. Bush.
They had been golfing buddies long before he had become the president.
And so after that, every year at least,
he said he would go to the White House and have lunch with the president.
And he said, you know, we never talked about policy or anything like that.
But once he pulled out a handgun. He said,
check this out. He gave me a gun.
I looked at it. I said, well, that's very nice. He says,
that's Saddam's gun. That's the gun they took
off of him when they dug him out of that spider hole.
And he had it. That's awesome.
See, that's history. That's history.
That is history because there's
significance. Exactly.
I'm not...
I'm in a different place.
I don't feel like most people who collect Nazi stuff
don't do it because they're white supremacists, I don't think.
I think that they do it because that's a segment
of their obsession with World War II.
They don't just have a Nazi thing.
They have the American stuff, the Russian stuff.
That's part of the collection.
Nobody is collecting guns from other killers
in these similar scenarios.
They're not like, oh man, there was another shooting
that ended up being kind of a kerfuffle in Connecticut,
and I am bidding on that gun right after this.
It's like, no.
The Saddam Hussein's gun, though?
That's history, I said.
That's history, that's nice.
I wouldn't want some random crime gun or anything like that,
because they usually destroy those anyway. That's the thing.
They usually give them back when they're innocent.
Yes, exactly.
That's why he has his.
That's why he still has the guns there to be auctioned off,
is because he was found to be innocent.
That whole thing's a mess.
I couldn't come from a different perspective than you do, Kyle,
because I've fired a gun only one time in my life.
I used to work for Regal Cinemas.
I was a manager, and I won some monthly combo selling concession contest.
Why?
And they sent me to Texas for, like, a two-day cowboy dude ranch experience, and part of that was, like, going to this glass bottle six-gun firing range,
and I literally fired all six shots
in like three seconds and dropped the gun
and walked away. It scared the crap out
of me, man.
I know I don't have the experience.
I'm a preacher's kid, not a cop's kid
or whatever, but man, it just scared
the crap out of me. Maybe that's part of
why I view this as such a wrong
gun to auction off.
In general, guns feel kind of weird to me dude i was
do you know what kind of gun it was no it was it had a white grip and it had it was this you know
russian roulette spinny six shooter yeah i didn't come from a gun house my pka fans have heard this
before and uh i didn't get into guns until i was an adult call me like 35 or something when i was first shooting i was literally thinking to myself like oh you know
like i wonder what my mom would think if she knew this like i might get in trouble
like you're being bad yeah yeah exactly like i was being bad like like i had snuck off and
done this without telling her and uh there might be some repercussions but yeah there weren't i mean
i'm i don't i guess if he wants to sell it and somebody wants to buy it the like commercialist
in me is like okay let it happen go on if there's a market for it i don't really have a problem with
it but it it just feels a little skeezy to me is all yeah morally it's really yeah i think to
everyone just you shouldn't be able to say,
hey, you can't sell that.
He should be able to sell it.
It's just you should also be able to call the guy who buys it
a real piece of shit.
There you go.
So, Jeremy, what are you going to do when the zombies come?
What?
What am I going to do when the zombies come?
I'm going to get on the roof.
Zombies don't know how to climb.
How much food do you have?
No, a buddy of mine
actually has been obsessed since
college with this idea of a zombie
musical called Zombies Can't Climb
where the heroes all get up on their roofs
because they find out zombies are too stupid
and clumsy to climb. So that was
my response. I'll get on the roof. You know, they can't
climb. Yeah, but you're going to run out of food
and die of exposure.
That's right. I'd rather die of that than die of a zombie bite.
And probably also I'll punch and kick some things and swing a golf club or two.
I don't know.
I mean, I really...
Zombies feel no pain.
Now, you've got to keep in mind, a zombie is like a PCP'd out maniac who's hungry for your flesh.
You better have a nine iron and be Tiger Woods if you're going to defend yourself.
You got to really hit him.
I've seen The Walking Dead.
It doesn't have to be a gun.
I could have a bow and arrow.
I could have a machete.
The Walking Dead, too.
That bow thing, it's cool to see Merle or whatever.
It's not Merle.
Whatever his name is running around with that bow and everything.
That's absurd.
That would never cut a show like that.
Oh, I agree with you completely.
It's fun to argue, but you're totally right.'s absurd. That would never cut it. Oh, I agree with you completely. I just, you know, it's fun to argue, but
you're totally right. Yeah, that shit
doesn't cut it. He would be better off with, like, a bow
that he could, like, put, like, like Legolas. Like, if he had,
like, a compound bow where he could draw arrows
from a quiver and fire them quickly. Yeah.
But the crossbow is not, it's not a quick
weapon. Uh-uh. Cocking it, you literally
have to put it, like, nose down and step on a thing
and use both hands to pull the string
unless you've got some kind of fancy crossbow
with a cantilever thingy or something
but crossbow's not a good weapon for anything
really. No, I agree.
No, it really seems like it came into
and out of vogue very quickly.
They're like, hey, we can shoot this arrow really hard
really straight and then real quick after that
they're like, the Chinese figured out this gunpowder shit
and it is pretty sweet.
Way better than this fucking arrow. I think the crossbow was considered a dishonorable weapon. It was. they're like the chinese figured out this gunpowder shit and it is pretty sweet way better
than this i think the i think the crossbow was considered a dishonorable weapon and it was and
uh and also i think that it it had it had some advantages but some drawbacks i don't think it
had the same range but it it was obviously any idiot could use a crossbow right it's really easy
to point and shoot um but using a longbow, you've got to train a grown man for his whole life
to get him to learn how to use that thing as a soldier.
If you're going to be a longbowman out on the field of battle,
that bow's a 100-pound draw.
Not just anybody can pull a 100-pound draw.
England didn't use crossbows because they thought it was shameful.
Yeah, that's true.
At least initially.
Because England's thing, they had excellent trained shameful. Yeah, that's true. At least initially, because England's thing,
they had excellent trained longbowmen,
and then the crossbow came out,
and it's just like anything,
where as soon as they realized that they were shit out of luck,
because someone immediately, like a child,
could do exactly what they trained their whole life for,
they go the route of like,
well, we're so honorable
that we're not moving over to that technology.
No, of course not.
It's pretty difficult to reload a crossbow, isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
It takes a long time.
I could probably load, if I had an empty crossbow sitting here and an arrow on the table,
it would probably take me a solid seven seconds to get it ready to point and shoot.
And I know how to use one.
I've got to put it nose down on the ground and use my foot to step on a thing that
holds it to the ground and then with both hands
I have to grab the string and pull back until it catches
then pick it up like a rifle
and put the arrow in its place
or the bolt in its place and then
aim and fire. It's kind of unrelated but
have you guys seen that video of that guy
who taught himself his own
bow and arrow method where he does all the acrobatics
and yeah yeah
like a way he speculates ancient bow masters may have fought um but just the fact that he's so dead
on while he's doing all these flips and twirls and crap it's amazing yeah he's very good yeah
yeah he had studied lots of uh lots of old literature and lots of old uh paintings and
and i wanted to say photographs, but paintings and illustrations.
That's what I was looking for.
Of archers from various cultures throughout history.
And he found all these different ways of holding the arrows between multiple fingers.
And all these different ways to grip them.
And he is, if you've never seen it, search like world's fastest bow shooter or something like that.
And you'll find him.
He's very talented.
It's amazing.
I'm not qualified to debunk him. But apparently who are have that thing like crazy like they're all
just saying that it's fake that it's not true there's other people who like replicated his
jumps and stuff and you can see the errors are like flying out of the quiver landing all over
the ground and they look ridiculous i saw that whole thing too and like i watched the video the
exact one you're talking about,
where the dude's, like, legitimately doing, like,
shield-sliding Legolas moves,
like, running on the wall in gyms,
like, boop, boop, boop, real quick,
and I read some comment where someone's like,
resident archer expert here,
let me explain all the reasons that this is bunk,
and then I got, like, halfway through the comment,
and I'm like, this is just, this is ruining the fun.
I choose to accept this
it's more fun to just imagine all the
archers back then jump like parkouring
their way through battle
but in reality there's no fucking way they did
there's no fucking way they did
just that this guy taught himself how to do
he's accurate as fuck man
like he's doing twirls and hitting the target
they're editing videos
I could look like that with enough retakes.
It's a montage.
Are you saying that video is CGI?
Is that what you're saying?
No, I'm saying retakes.
It's a montage.
He's saying it took him a year to make it.
That video is one that let the bodies hit the floor
away from being a Call of Duty montage.
It's like trick shot videos, right?
I can make a basket from the top of the goalkeeper's bridge
if you give me 100 takes.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
It'd be like if Dude Perfect made a video where they're like,
so, I studied Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
and all the basketball players throughout history.
I found a new way to hold the basketball.
Check this out.
Or it makes the shot.
You think that was hard?
Let's step it on up to full court.
Show you the grip again.
See?
Nothing to it, ladies and gentlemen.
I study a lot of historical basketball players.
Going back to the Ming Dynasty, in fact, and, like, no.
Yeah, let's try this from the top of a building into a parking lot.
He just throws the ball, swish.
It's funny that he used all of history to look at
with like the paintings
and everything
because it's almost like,
like you,
the archer in like Babylon
was looking at like
the ancient whatever,
you know,
Mesopotamian things
on the wall
of those archers
being like,
look at these fucking rubes.
They don't know
what they're doing.
You know,
like they figured out
something better.
But this guy just went back
and took bits and pieces from long, outdated methods
and cobbled it together into something that's really not useful in any sphere.
It's kind of like becoming a basketball expert by starting out like,
man, that white guy is tossing it up into that peach basket really well.
I'd start taking notes.
Where it's like, no, it started off bad for a reason.
So they looked at these
ancient drawings from like
Mesopotamia or something on how to fire
an arrow.
And the drawing is shit, right?
There's like a guy with no fingers
holding a bow and they're like, look,
he's not looking with his eye to aim up the arrow.
He's just pulling it instinctively.
Meanwhile, it's next to a picture
of a lion that looks like a male penis.
I guess all penises are male.
Now you do have to specify that.
The lion is just like two circles in an arch thing.
I'm just imagining the scenario where someone's like,
no, actually that's a female penis.
Really? Are you sure?
Well, she said it was.
She said it was.
Representations of historical
archery. Anyway.
I believe in it, though. I'm going to
stick my neck out there and I'm going to
say that I'm going to believe it. And here's why.
Here's why. Modern
archers
are...
I own two bows. I got a compound bow and a recurve bow. I don't shoot regularly,
but I'm good with a bow, especially my compound bow. I definitely could hit a man from 50
yards. It just wouldn't be a problem. It's really a recreational kind of hobby thing
with archery with me and with 99.99999% of the rest of the human population that's alive
now however an older throughout history i feel like if you're a good if you're a good archer
like wow you you might as well be a good lawyer or a good doctor or something i feel like we got
a place for that guy he's a good archer really let me see oh shit he can hit he can throw it up
and hit it yeah let's come on king's court let's get him a job i don't know the round table if your culture like relies on archers to defend them from the
the the barbarians at the gate you're inherently going to become a really good archer is it
very hard okay yeah all right um it's the accuracy thing you know it's it's like asking how hard is
it to throw darts it's easy to throw a dart but if you want to hit the bull thing. It's like asking how hard is it to throw darts.
It's easy to throw a dart,
but if you want to hit the bullseye every time,
you better be practicing hours and hours on the end.
With one hour practice, I could hit the board every time.
How accurate do you need to be?
Have you ever shot a slingshot
or something that didn't require aiming?
It was more of a feel kind of thing?
It's been a while, but yeah.
Like the brace slingshots that are super strong?
Those are cool.
So when I shoot my recurve bow, I fire it kind of like that.
I really don't aim down the sights or anything.
I have sights, but I've never attached them.
It's really from feel pretty much all the time.
And I'm not nearly as accurate as I am with my compound bow,
which has really good fiber optic sights
where you're looking through a peephole in the back
and you've got a pin up front,
and you can be very exacting.
I think they're as accurate as rifles in my experience.
I mean, they put three arrows in a spot like that at 30 yards.
The bow will.
You doing that is another story.
That's all skill.
But bows are really really
accurate but with that when you're shooting just from the hip like not really from the hip but when
i'm shooting instinctively i'm accurate enough to put them all in something like this at 20 yards
and with practice with hours of practice you know not weeks of practice but two hours two hours a
week or something yeah not useful to practice now.
If that guy lived 1,500 years ago,
what he's spent his life doing would make a lot of sense.
Oh, yeah.
He would be very famous and very wealthy, I guess,
as the archer of the West or something like that,
with, like, 80 kills.
Well, the real question is,
if Attila the Hun's bow was for sale,
would you buy it?
Ah, you see, Attila used a very interesting kind of bow
because they were all riding on horseback,
so they had these really short sort of recurve bows they used
that they could fire from the mounted horse.
So yeah, if you get one of those, that'd be pretty sweet.
I think they were the first people to really utilize the recurve bow.
The Mongols?
Definitely the first ones to get on a horse
and kind of become cavalry, you know, with the bows, with the mountedved bow. The Mongols? Definitely the first ones to get on a horse and kind of become
cavalry, you know, with the bows, with the
mounted archers.
New topic?
Oh yeah, go ahead. Unless you want to keep going.
No, I was going to talk more about the
Mongols and the Huns, and so
we can go ahead and
skedaddle.
There is one
person out there like,
no, fuck, I'm writing my thesis on the Mongols and the Huns.
We're going to see one
comment from
HunKid69
where he's like, goddammit, finally you're going to
talk about my favorite conquering civilization
and you just ditch it.
Dude, so you guys know what Periscope is?
Yes. It's what Periscope is? Yes.
Yeah.
All right, so Periscope, I guess...
It's live streaming, right?
It's live streaming, but it's not gaming.
It's typically like real life, carry it around you, whatever.
This 19-year-old committed suicide.
She, I don't know, I guess she normally like has tattoos
and smokes cigarettes and sits on a couch or something,
according to this article.
But this time, she went over to a train station and threw herself under a train.
While she was periscoping?
Did she set up her phone or she jumped in with her phone?
Nobody I knew then.
I was literally checking.
I was like, I know a lot of tattooed, depressed bitches.
Where did this happen?
And if it wasn't clear, she was literally live.
She was, like, periscoping while she did this.
Jesus.
How did she commit the act?
She threw herself under a train.
Oh, that's right.
You just said that.
Of course.
Yeah, the worst way.
So I wonder if she was like, all right, here we go,
and, like, just, like, went with the phone, or did she, like, set it we go and like just like went with the phone or
did she like set it up on a tripod so we could get the full angle like like how did she film this
side this suicide i think that no paris if it's my understanding with periscope it's just it's
your phone live streaming so and it's a train so she just i there's no way she set up her phone
like a camera she's like i'm gonna take you on board with this suicide she's probably just jumping in like that's really sad and you have to wonder like would she have done that
without the periscope like would she have killed like because clearly because that's like the crux
of the matter you know like that in you're obviously going to get way more attention
if you're doing it while periscoping and you know that it's going to be a news story and that people
are going to see your face on MSNBC or whatever.
It's a little sobering for me,
because about a year ago I was doing this series on Twitter
where every day I would tweet what I felt was an original movie idea,
sort of trying to encourage Hollywood to avoid remakes and sequels
and move towards original.
And I wrote a whole movie pitch for that about a guy
who threatens to kill himself on periscope in mine it turns out to be a heist where he's faking it so
he can rip off this other business but yeah it's just freaking sad to me that's just i mean what
does it say about this person where they're they would rather be liked and watched while dying than live?
That's just fucked up.
Do you think that's what it is, though?
Don't you think that it's really just someone wanting attention?
Not attention, necessarily.
I guess it is attention, but it's a very different kind of attention and wanting it for a different reason.
I feel like they're saying, the world
treated me like this, like that, like this.
Watch what happens. Watch what I do.
This is a lot deeper than I
expected this podcast to get.
Or any podcast.
But in general, yeah, I think everybody
wants to leave their mark on this world.
Everybody wants to leave
a legacy that lasts beyond
their own existence, whether it's their kids
and what they accomplish or a book they wrote or some great work i think everybody has that pull
and in some weird twisted way i think somebody could convince themselves that this kind of video
is a legacy to leave the world and it's just it's just really sad to me because her life was snuffed out in pursuit of
something that is ultimately
not fulfilling.
Do you remember a couple years ago, I don't remember
the girl's name, but it was some girl
who uploaded a YouTube video of her doing that
the worst style
of video ever, I hate it, is when people
just hold up signs and take
it away. Oh yeah, it's the
Bob whatever. that'll be my
new channel woody the whole sign telling thing it's it's so difficult to watch those videos
because it's not at the pace that i read and it's not at the pace that i listen what right
but anyway that girl she put up all the signs and i guess even before that video got popular
she killed herself i think amanda amanda todd right that might be it that sounds really familiar
that could be right but this isn't like the first time that's happened a dude killed himself on
justin tv i think like if there was no attention aspect to it then they wouldn't be doing it on
social media so there is some kind of attention seeking behavior there where you're wondering
like if it yeah there you go she has thank you amanda todd where you're wondering like would
they have done it if there wasn't this opportunity for this kind of attention
right i know you have to wonder you have to think they wouldn't have right like i mean i don't know
how you guys are i'm 40 so i grew up in the 80s when there was there was none of this crap right
there was no internet of any kind and if i I was going to do something, the only people it mattered to
were the two people in the room when I did it.
And now we're at this
age where
I think people
strive so much to
like themselves and find worth in
themselves that they can warp their minds
to a place where they believe internet views
equals worth. And
I have a lot of views on the CinemaSins channel
and it does not equal self-worth.
Don't pop my bubble, dick.
You've come to the wrong place with that nonsense.
We all here firmly...
Look, if you don't have likes and
favorites, then you're just not a real person.
If you don't have at least
a million likes under your belt at this
point and you're 30 years
old, then you're just a fucking loser out there.
I'm talking to all of you out there.
I see the parallel.
If you have not gotten to a quarter billion views yet
and you're 30 years old,
just fucking train, fucking pills, whatever.
I am in the clear then
because we have over a billion views.
Yeah, you're so good.
According to your life view,
I have self-worth now.
You're great, yes.
I got five years to figure my shit out
it's not as bad as it sounds
because the views compound over time
it's the miracle of compounding
yeah there's a lot of people that go back to watch
those old zombies game plays
they go back and they're just
accumulating views over time, just millions
and millions.
Oh, dozens a day!
I've taken to lying to my subscribers about
likes every video.
I have an N-slate card
and every time I make up something
new about why they should like the video.
Girls love
guys who click like it's science
you can't dispute it and just remember like do you ever go back to youtube channels that are like
huge now and watch one of their videos from like 2009 and the whole thing is just full of
annotations and just bullshit ways that they don't talk anymore where it's like smiley face smiley
face exclamation point a like would really help me out and it's like what is this up to franco's channel what the fuck go back and check and it's
like who i don't know it's kind of endearing but annotations are not worth it like i see people
sometimes and i feel like they they disfigure their video with lots of annotations to like
redirect to lots of places and not just at the end of the video in an end slate but like throughout the video
there'll be big and I'm fine if you got a little
one anywhere of the edges, corners, whatever
that maybe takes you to part one
of this series for example that's a good
one to have or that'll take you
to you know other things like this
that I've done those are good things to have but I'll
often see them just full screen crazy
shit tricking you into clicking the screen
and like redirecting you to
websites and stuff.
That's a real mistake because
you can look in the analytics and you can see the click-through rate
of those. Even on my stuff,
it's 3%. I bet that's
high comparatively to most stuff.
Although, I will say one of my biggest
recurring complaints about YouTube is that
I have the same end plate that I've
had for a year and a half.
But I have to make those annotations
every goddamn video.
There's no way to save that
and then re-import
the next time. And we put out
two videos a week so that you're talking about
100 videos a year and it is
honestly, I don't want to count
the number of minutes I've wasted
putting together freaking annotations. Jeremy, I have't want to count the number of minutes I've wasted putting together freaking annotations.
Jeremy, I have the same petty complaint, right?
Now, Painkiller already, I'm looking at it.
We have five sponsors today, and then there'll be two more with the Patreon and our merch.
So that's seven annotations I have to make.
Every time I make these seven annotations, I simultaneously think,
oh my god, this is such a pain in the ass,
and oh my god, you pansy, you complain about anything, don't you?
I think I've found some shortcuts, although I'll have a real hard time explaining them.
If we were all sitting around a laptop, I'd be like, hey, if you do it like this, it's
a little quicker, right?
But yeah, it's an annoying process, and it's not slick and smooth and easy to use or anything.
In my case, I often have to extend
the annotation to be four hours long.
Like you said, you can go to the hour and press
up instead of whatever. I mean, it's clearly
a first world problem.
Yes, it is a first world problem.
People with real problems don't worry
about having too many sponsors at the end of their web
show.
First world don't have these problems.
They're worried about not having shoes or getting dysentery jeremy is this the case so i feel like asking for likes
even though i do it for fun uh is old school and comments and stuff like that it's all about view
time now right isn't that what gets your video promoted? Like, above all else, it's them watching to the end?
Well, I mean, I think, hmm, I think completion,
like percentage of video completed
and then total minutes watched
has become the two more important metrics for us.
Now, we didn't start expanding.
When we started, our videos were all three or four minutes long,
and that was because we were obsessed with, we we didn't think the attention span was there like I remember Chris sending me edits for
videos that were seven minutes long and me replying going can you do anything to
get it down to five you're gonna say pacing you were obsessed with pera and
then we would a couple experiments showed us that our viewers, at least, would hang on for 10, 15, 20 goddamn minutes.
Then we started expanding our horizons in terms of what we wanted to do.
But on the back end, analytics-wise, it just happened to happily coincide with the fact that YouTube seemed to shift towards minutes watched and completion percentage of the video.
And thankfully, our fans like to watch most of our videos all the way through to the end.
And I'm sorry about that beeping because I have a friend who obsessively texts me.
I'm going to turn my phone off right now.
So you mentioned the merchandise a minute ago, Woody.
I just wanted to say, last week we told you guys
that our PK knives were going to be available
actually the following day or something like that.
They're all fucking gone.
You guys snatched those things up.
In five hours they sold out.
Oh, I thought you meant they somehow got lost.
Yeah, they were all stolen from my house.
Nobody's getting them back.
No, that's not what he means.
They're all gone. That's awesome.
They all sold out, got rid of all those fucking knives.
There will be no more knives for you people.
You missed out. You missed your chance. You should have been Patreons.
What can I say? That's not true.
We're going to do some other stuff.
I think maybe some people
were bummed that they didn't get an opportunity
maybe to get at them because they don't listen to the show maybe as early as some others or bummed that they didn't get an opportunity, maybe, to get at them
because they don't listen to the show maybe as early as some others
or something like that, but we're going to do other things.
Try that. Follow me on Twitter would have helped you.
That would have done the trick, too.
Woody's Gamertag's Twitter's been in the description of this video
since 2010.
Your lazy ass hadn't been able to bother himself
to do it. You follow Donald Trump, you can't follow
Woody's Gamertag?
I won't help you with my Twitter, but you should
still follow it. There you go.
No helpful
tips there. I don't know if you guys are paying attention,
but this hockey game is not going
very well for me right now. It's not going well for
Nashville right now. Looks like Pavelski got a
goal. Yeah, it's two nothing
sharks right now in the first.
What did I tell you? Would I text you
Chiz? i can't talk
to you i have a question as a hockey novice was where was hockey invented is it canada
sure it was is that where the first hockey was played like i don't know man i guess that are
like similar to hockey but i think the first time they did it on ice was in canada i'm american man
i grew up learning about James Naismith
and the peach baskets and inventing
basketball. I don't know shit about hockey.
Neither does Chris.
Well, yeah, that's what was invented.
I assume Canada. Okay.
I was curious.
I thought it was Canada
too, but I was like, did Russia have something to do
with that? Is this maybe a Russian sport
and a Canadian sport that got combined together
because they both seem to have such a love for it?
It could be. I mean, Russia's cold as
fuck. And you need frozen lakes for this
or frozen ponds. Did you see
the footage of Putin
playing in that hockey game?
Oh my god.
Yes, I have. I have seen it. It's been
a while though, right? Can you go to Reddit
hockey? I think this is new. This is a new
one. Let me try and find it here.
But there's Putin playing.
And I can't tell if this is just like one of those, you know, retired guy games just for fun people watching.
Or if he's playing a game and all of these good players are slowing down to his speed.
Like, it's really funny.
I've got to find this.
I watched him play once.
And I remember thinking that for a guy his age,
and he's a politician,
that he was good on the skates.
Of course, I fall
all the time and need
guidance when I'm on skates.
But I was impressed by that.
I thought that was pretty good.
What do you got here?
Who plays an exhibition game?
Man, you guys are schooling my ass
on like live
in show production
like the links and the
chat and all the help you guys are sending each other
on this on this thing on the sidebar
like blowing my mind
fucking machine around here
we're gonna watch this video
together
it's amazing.
Jeremy, put that video on.
Get past an ad if you have one.
And then pause it at zero.
Hit this Putin video and pause it at zero?
Yes, please.
Pause it on the Putin.
I'm going to count down. I'm going to say ready, set, play.
On play, we all hit play.
Ready, set, play.
Putin!
Putin! ready set play on play we all hit play ready set play very interesting clapping style in russia that's uh one of the three approved ways
i'm getting right now oh wow wow. Oh, this is not oh
Shit that's not a holly's family was watching that game
He can't skate at all yeah, he's terrible he's worse than me, and I've never been on ice skates once.
I had a... I feel like I've seen this guy
play before, and I was
impressed with it. Not because I know anything
about hockey, but just because it looked like he was moving well.
You know what I mean? He looked athletic.
Alright, that's the end of the footage. Not so
much in this footage. Dude, I...
That's a little embarrassing. I played hockey
at a very low level
right we're talking about adult men in the south and we would school that team we would beat the
like we would just smack them around like they were children with down syndrome or something
like i feel like you could knock two or three of those players down while scoring. They were just barely moving.
It reminded me of peewee hockey when I've seen that,
and they're all nudiscating.
There's no way those players are that bad, though.
They just got on there, and the coach was giving a little pep talk,
like, now we all slow down because Putin will be out there.
Yeah, it was like the All-Star game.
Your families will be killed.
I'm sure there are decent hockey players,
but he is not.
But you can afford...
That must be so great
to be able to go out
and suck at whatever you want
and everyone has to applaud.
Oh my God, if I were a dictator,
the thing I'm worst at in this world
is drawing and art.
I tried when I was younger because I had a couple of friends who are really good at art and i sucked dick at it and
i it made me live it because i just can't draw anything good but i would make billionaires in
my country purchase my art for obscene prices obscene it would be non it'd be color by number
done poorly and they'd have to shell out $30 million worth.
Anyway.
So 2-0, San Jose on the power play. How are you feeling
right now, Jeremy?
Pretty messed up, man. I'm frustrated.
Have you considered drinking?
Although, last game
we were down 2-0 and came back.
So it's not dire yet.
And I believe in this team.
It's only one period.
But I wish it would have gone differently.
Yeah.
I'd rather be ahead than be out.
So politics has been crazy lately.
So just in fast forward, I'm not sure what I covered, what we talked about last week's
PK.
But wow, Trump, everybody has dropped out of it except for Trump.
Trump's going to be, is the nominee.
Paul Ryan, the Speaker of the House, did not immediately get behind Trump last week. He was like, ah, I don't
really know. So Trump had a big meeting with him as well as lots of congressmen today.
Both of them came out of the meeting saying it went well, which is what I expected. I
didn't expect them to come out of the meeting and go, yeah, we're friends now. Yeah, we're
all good. Paul's going to come over to Trump Tower. We're going to play. That wasn't going
to happen.
I felt like they handled it well.
And I feel like what they're doing is, I feel like they got in the room and they were like,
look, we actually do have to unify this thing.
I don't like you so much and you don't like me so much.
Or maybe I don't like your policy and you don't like my policy.
But we both hate Hillary Clinton and we've got to kind of forge around that hate together.
So let's come out next week and say, you know what?
We really thought about this and we that hate together. So let's come out next week and say, you know what? We really thought about this,
and we can work together.
That way it looks real.
It looks like you actually did something rather than you're just coming in
and going, yeah, we're friends now.
Yeah.
Beat Hillary.
So I like what happened today,
what I saw out of Trump.
Trump doesn't make too many missteps.
Trump's going to be the next president
of the United States.
I wish I was there for that negotiation.
No.
Yeah. No. No. I wish I was there for that negotiation. Yeah.
No.
No.
I don't know who's next.
I will gladly spend the next hour going back and forth with yeses and nos.
Yeses and nos.
Although, I mean, I am speaking 50% from perspective of someone who does not want Trump
and 50% perspective from someone who has seen the polling numbers.
Hillary polls higher than
Trump in every state that matters
in the presidential election.
One point? So many months out?
In one or two states, it's one point.
In the three where it matters. Ohio, Florida,
and, uh, yeah.
He's within two or three points in those three
battleground states, the purple states.
He's gonna win all the red states.
Well, okay, I don't know anything about your politics,
and I don't really care, ultimately.
I'm not even going to cast
a vote, so if you want some controversy,
there it is. But,
that being said, are you arguing
for the sake of chaos,
or do you really like Trump?
I don't really like Trump,
but I really hate Clinton. I feel like
Clinton is going to make gun control her banner fucking thing, just like Obama made health care his thing.
I can't have that.
It's absolutely awful.
For one thing, she wants to hold firearms companies liable for when some maniac goes and does something awful with a gun.
You wouldn't hear anybody saying that about Ford Motor Company.
You just want to make it comparable.
It's Axe companies that hurt children's feet.
What's that?
I said it's Axe Companies that hurt children's feet.
Axe Companies, yeah.
And I said that Trump wants
to keep out all Muslims and build a fucking wall.
I did that.
Aren't they both terrible candidates?
No, they're not. Trump is a great candidate.
So he didn't say he wants to keep out all Muslims.
He said he wanted to put a
temporary ban on any Muslims coming into the country
until you can verify who and where they're coming from,
which makes a lot of sense to me.
I don't want random people coming here.
If there's someone who's a good, hardworking person who can give to our American way of life
and be part of it, more power to them.
Let's get them over here.
It shouldn't just be Muslims, though.
It should be everyone who has to do that.
It should be anyone.
This podcast is about to get hardcore, man.
And I feel like that wall is a great idea.
Trump is a better candidate than Hillary.
But he's not great.
He's not great. He's not a great candidate.
I'm sorry, Taylor.
Kyle, you want the country's wall?
You need a fishing license to fish in this country,
but for some reason you can walk right across the border with no paperwork.
Why is there not a wall in Canada then, too?
Is that true?
Because we don't want to go up there to their maple fucking smelling asses.
That's fucking...
I don't think they're just...
Canada doesn't need a wall for the same reason Canada doesn't need a real military,
because they got us here.
We kind of handle that for them.
Nobody from here is wanting to go up there, unless Trump gets elected.
If I'm a terrorist right now and I want to commit an attack on America, I'm going to Canada and I'm slipping through the border.
Well, unfortunately, the terrorists work for a group called ISIS and not CinemaSins, and ISIS has said that what they want to do is come through Mexico.
So while the CinemaSins apocalypse will probably come through the Northwest
Corridor, ISIS is coming from
the South.
Listen, there are plenty of people who think
we are worse than the ISIS terrorists.
I agree completely.
And in general,
you are awesome. I just think
the wall and the Muslim ban are both
terrible ideas, and the hate of
Hillary cannot put
unearned shine on trump that's just to play devil's advocate you are aware that obama put a ban on
iraqis right well he said look you know we got it's a minority. He has carte blanche to do it every once. And Iraq is nowhere near Syria.
And, um, shit, who else did it?
Was it Bush Sr. who did it, too?
And no one blinked an eye.
Oh, I'm sorry.
No, Carter.
Carter put a ban on Iranians and something else.
Yes, he did.
They're all wrong.
They're all racist bastards.
Yeah, I don't think that they should do this.
It should not be a race thing or an ethnicity thing.
All it should be, like, everyone would be on board
if they were like, hey, you know,
illegal immigration is a problem in this country.
We need to step up making sure, like,
that we're checking people's papers
or whatnot when they're coming into the country.
Like, just not for Muslims.
We do that, though, right?
Just do it to everyone.
I don't know how you enforce a Muslim one,
because I don't think anyone registers as Muslim. That is racist. could do it well it's not a race but it's religious you
know what i mean xenophobic um but i is that even i don't know but uh i feel like i can say hey look
iraqis can't enter because everyone's sort of a registered iraqi common sense that's what they
call that but i don't think you could say like muslims can't come
in because like i could be in filipino and just be like oh yeah i'm christian dude and what do you
know some husband and wife in iraq who have no government or political inclination whatsoever
and just don't want to get bombed the fuck to death you're gonna keep them out just because
they're iraqi why should they come here why don't they go to the United Arab Emirates, an incredibly wealthy Arab country, much closer?
Because our country was founded on the principle of being a goddamn melting pot, right?
Like, we are open to refugees.
Like, that's the point.
Not anymore.
Like, Ellis Island days are over.
Like, bring me your sick, your poor, your tattered masses or whatever.
Ever since Will Smith went there and hitched, Ellis Island is over. Bring me your sick, your poor, your tattered masses. Ever since Will Smith went there and itched,
Ellis Island is over.
Nowadays, we're like, bring us
your ITT graduates. Bring us your engineers.
Bring us your STEM graduates.
Keep the Stone Age
people wake up. And bring us your NHL all-stars.
Man, I really thought we were going to debate
pop culture, and here we are
earnestly arguing
politics. I love it.
It's just the immigration thing.
I feel like you've got a lot of bad people coming out of Syria.
Sure.
Maybe some good ones too.
Sure, but the good ones...
Look at the attacks in Brussels.
Look at the attacks in Germany.
Look at places like Cologne where you've got so many sexual assaults by these North African men,
these Syrian men, these refugees who are coming from that region of the world going these european countries and they don't
have the same views about the way about treating women with respect that we do
so much so that they're getting raping them constantly read about a different
gang rape
rate everyday by refugees in one of these european countries everyday i read
about least one i would still it's not like the other drug and alien rapes like
now it's like
five hours of rape by 11 individuals,
and then they raped her daughters while she walked.
I understand that, that that happens,
but I don't think you can say because people are bad,
we let in no new people.
Like, there's still refugees that legit are starving,
and they need somebody to help them.
There are veterans on the streets of Los Angeles
who are legit starving right now.
I think we should help them out.
I passed by three of them on the way to the studio right here legit starving right now. I think we should help them out.
I passed by three of them on the way to the studio right here that I'm sitting in that's so lovely and nice.
Those guys needed some help.
They're Americans.
They fought for Americans.
They need a leg up.
They need a helping hand.
How many views and likes do they have?
You didn't stop and help them.
I love you. I couldn't.
It's an Uber.
It doesn't work that way.
He was on Cindy's timeline.
It doesn't work that way. He was on Sidney's timeline.
I would rather let in one legit starving needy refugee along with potential threats.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Next question.
I get to take this.
Can they move into your apartment building?
All of them.
So, alright, we got a big bag of M&M's here, right?
There's a hundred in
there it's family size they're peanut if that matters all right one of them is poisonous do
you even think about eating one of those m&ms you wouldn't that is terrible analogy
you just did the exact same thing you said hey i don't care if there's like 99 people that might be into some terror i didn't start i said i would rather help
one person if it includes the risk of letting in bad people then took away all people i think it
almost sounded like you said so long as one m&m is not poison you'll take the bag like hey i know
there's a risk but if there's one good M&M in there, we need to
roll the dice. I feel like it's being treated
as a zero-sum game, and that's
really simple.
Like, it's not let
a hundred, like, there's going to be
nefarious people coming in
if you don't uphold some sort of standard
for people coming from this part of the world.
It just will. It's a fact.
Some people who are evil are getting into this goddamn country.
The point is, you are making a decision
to not help anyone.
And that just turns me off.
No, no, no, not to help anyone.
I just think that, like,
when you're letting people in,
there should be a more stringent, like,
okay, so you're from Syria.
We're so sorry that you're going through this.
Yeah, let us help you this way.
It doesn't have to be a carte blanche,
everybody in
kind of decision there's a so much middle ground there but you only ever
hear we gotta let them all in because even if there's a few good ones it's
worth the risk
well that's what i have arguments for a lot of arguments against or people say
we have to not let anyone in
i i think that's what i don't have to social services to those people that we
bring here did
did let's say we bring a one hundred thousand Syrian refugees. Are they all rubber-stamped
Americans? Now they get free health
care. Does everything just
come to them now? Are they part of our system? They get to go to
our public schools? Just like Taylor was
saying, there's a middle ground there. You don't have to give
them complete carte blanche, but you can still
help them out. I think
there's something fundamentally
morally good about the principle
of the melting pot of the U.S., and I think we're moving away from that as we fear terrorists.
You don't know what a melting pot is, though. A melting pot is when we all come in and take the best parts of each other and make America stronger, and we all become Americans.
America is the pot. It melts the people, and they become Americans. It's not the other way around.
You don't jump in the American pot and say, hey, I'm Syrian.
Now everybody's a little Syrian.
You're American, now you're a little American.
No, no, Jeremy.
I don't think that necessarily means bad apple.
I think that it means that you don't admit people
in such large numbers that
we go from melting pot to salad bowl.
I've used this analogy on the show before, but
that's the thing that I don't like.
If we were to hypothetically bring in 15,000 Syrians and they all live relatively close to each other in Indiana, then Indiana would have a little piece of Syria in it.
This would be Syria town.
I do not agree with that.
It happens time and time again.
These refugees here in Nashville who have fled Africa because of apartheid and all kinds of potential death.
And yeah, if there's one bad apple among them, I'm still happy I helped the 12 guys I got to know.
But wait, it's not even about them being bad.
It's about them, you know, adding to our culture and probably like nine parts received from our culture and one part added.
It's an issue of assimilation.
Historically,
you know,
the melting pot idea is,
Hey,
you come in here,
you assimilate with our kind of values here.
Of course,
you know,
like here in St.
Louis,
there's a big population of Italians.
If you go to the hill,
you can tell that it's Italian.
Like there's way more Italian looking people there,
but they're a part of the community.
It's not just like they're speaking in Italian
and they have their own set of rules and regulations
and beliefs and whatnot.
Historically, Muslim groups don't assimilate as well
and they tend to be in their own groups.
It's kind of like, we'll use a hockey comparison.
Vladimir Tarasenko, if we had another Russian on our team,
wouldn't learn to speak English very quickly
because they would be speaking Russian to each other in the locker room.
The fact that he is forced to assimilate,
he's very quickly picking up English,
and that's more beneficial
because now everybody's communicating more easily.
The cultural norm's there.
It's more shared.
I need a source on the Muslims don't assimilate as well as other cultures thing.
That just feels like more of an opinion than an actual thing.
Have you ever watched the
news? And I'm kind
of with Jeremy. I wish there was a source,
but I do feel like some cultures
are more apt to assimilate
than others. And oh gosh, I hope
this doesn't come off as racist, but it's
been my experience that
people from Africa
seem to want to assimilate.
They want to be Americans.
They're proud.
They demand that their children get great educations. They want to get the African off them as soon as possible
and get some America up there.
That is a good point.
You made it bad.
I didn't make it bad.
No, no.
So there's a girl that's involved in speech and debate,
and she tells this wonderful story of her father's high expectations and stuff.
And it's really cool, and you're like, wow.
And there's a YouTuber too whose dad is African, and he's always kind of like making fun of his father and the way that he interacts with him and stuff.
And that's my impression of like African immigrants.
They want to succeed and excel and learn the language and have great grammar and get good grades and do the things that
we think highly of and then there are other cultures where like you know oh
god I have a hard time speaking with this I'm coming up of races I was gonna
say Mexican right there's like a brown pride there's a Mexican flag there's a
you know like um like I want to create a subculture here that is my old culture
that i brought to you instead of like now i want to be american and what's wrong with that oh why
can't they be both why can't they be mexican americans no see i'm really big on the melting
pot thing i'd love them to be mexican americans in the same way that like irish americans italian
americans all those other guys you know sort of mixed into the melting pot. But when they resist learning the language,
when they resist like identifying
as like American Irish or like first,
that hurts my feelings, I guess.
I don't know why.
I think the country's better.
Just one last thing.
Like Yugoslavia, right?
During my lifetime, they had a big civil war
and they broke up into three countries. And they all had their own sort of cultural identity, right? Like some of them were Muslim, some of them were Serbian, and some of them were Croatian, right? And they all had these like wars with each other and it turned out awful.
I think that when a nation is stronger when they have a better set of values and they
share the language and they share their value system and that kind of thing if
A culture comes in and says, you know what? We tend to keep our
Like old-school value systems, maybe different thoughts about women that that doesn't match up with my thoughts Can I interject with a good example go on they they?
thoughts about it. Can I interject with a good example?
Go on.
I keep reading about how a lot of the immigrants who have come into
European countries like Germany have started their
own Sharia law little
enforcement groups that say
they've taken over a certain
district of one of the cities I was reading about
today on the plane. And they say it's
theirs now. And they don't want any non-Syrians
coming into that area.
They keep beating up women that they find wearing short skirts and stuff
i i keep waiting for all the uh... the feminists out there to stand up and be
like a i don't know about islam
that's maybe not the best thing for us
because the i mean
i'm not an expert about about islam but i've seen a lot of
what muslim men feel about women i had a lot of North African friends when I sold cars.
There was a Moroccan guy, two Nigerians, two Somalians.
I said Nigeria.
And there was another one.
And they would tell me awful stories.
My Russian friend literally told me about raping women, okay?
Like he told me that sort of laughing.
I wouldn't say it was rape.
It was more like really taking advantage of a very drunk woman.
And I was disgusted by that until I spoke to my Moroccan friend and he explained to me
that if you see a good looking woman, you just walk up to her and take her.
Do whatever you want. You grab her breast, like feel her up, and he says,
she screams, she says, no, no, no. And you say, you better do what I say or I'll tell your brother you're a whore.
And then she'd do what you say. And it's like, well, what the fuck?
That's Morocco?
That's one of the most forward-facing of the Middle Eastern Arab countries.
And that shit goes on in the U.S. military over there all the time.
They're all rapes constantly.
We're not talking about that.
We're talking about immigration.
Real quick to interject.
There is a – and I'm trying to be real middle-of- of the road here because I see two sides battling at it.
But there is a huge difference between a cultural accepted norm, for example, like an Islam.
And then not all Muslims practice this, obviously.
So that I preface this, you know, most people, everybody knows this.
But, you know, there's an accepted belief there that, hey, if a woman is raped, you know, you can be killed.
You can be executed for being raped
that's horrific if a woman is raped and she wants to come forward about it it's the man's word
versus the woman's word and you have to get like multiple women to equal up to a man's word and
it's like it's set up to to to discriminate against women to be or to be bad to women it's
not fair so you shouldn't accept their refugees? Because the home country is sexist?
No, no, that was an argument to the point
of your comparison between...
Maybe they're escaping that bullshit!
They're trying to avoid being raped
by moving to America. God damn!
But wait, what if they're just single women?
We could take them in.
Hold on, real quick, real quick.
Let me get in. So, I was
talking about the comparison you made to the U.S. military.
I'm saying that there's a difference between it being tacitly accepted in certain areas,
and if it does happen in the U.S. military, and it does, it's seen as a bad thing.
Nobody looks at that and goes, well, you know, rape in this situation, let's look at all the angles.
It's like, no, that's disgusting and evil.
Like, no one is making excuses evil like no one is no one
is making excuse or no one with any repute is making excuses for those people is my point that
i was just talking about the comparison i agree i just i'm saying my point is just because they
legalize it and we do it illegally doesn't make us any different it does it does it does absolutely
uh it means that for them that it's's gonna be much more common if it's
and there are areas specifically built into the law
to lie to get away with it
and the religion supports it not more than every single muslim country or we
just talking about specific muslim
let's go in ninety percent i i feel like that's a fair ninety percent we're going
to research this after to find out that math is that i feel like i think it's
very interesting to their widely regarded percent% of Muslim countries are okay with rape.
Oh, yeah.
So, Jeremy, here's the thing.
Let me jump in.
I've been waiting.
I guarantee it.
I guarantee that if you poll 90% of these countries,
you'll get more men will say than don't say
that if a woman is dressing, is scantily clad,
she's out by herself, it's dark,
then, yeah, it's perfectly okay to assault her.
I mean, I really don't think
anyone is qualified to talk about this bullshit.
Oh, that doesn't stop us.
You guys are making some pretty...
No, no, no, that doesn't stop us at all.
That is even slowest down, Jeremy.
We do.
So I have...
Qualifications speak for themselves.
I've got somebody in my extended circle who is Muslim,
and he is very homophobic, right? And he's
like, you know, it's not that I'm scared of them, I just
like, I don't, I would never want them to be like
hitting on me, you know? Like one dude of
millions, right? Anecdotal, I'll grant you that.
I don't know any more. But there are lots of homophobic
Christians, too, but they're not all homophobic.
I hear you, but yes, but they don't normally
like, start,
look, the Christians have had,
look, I'm not aian i i'll say that i
think that uh i think that you're looking at an inherently different situation though if you
compare the quran to the even just the old testament like i mean just if you start if you
do like a keyword search like you'll just find a lot more violence and a lot more hey if they do
this cut their head off if you do that cut their head off in the in the quran then you will in the
bible but on that there is that in the bible as then you will in the Bible. But on that note...
Well, there is that in the Bible as well, but it's just a matter of what groups are
still following that.
But are we judging modern religions on what, like, hundreds...
You think modern Islam is a modern religion, though?
It seems pretty old school to me.
Well, I'm just saying, if you're going to judge Islam this way, you need to judge Christianity
this way.
I do.
Christianity is a terrible thing.
We should outlaw that, too. We shouldn't be allowing any more Christians to come into this way, you need to judge Christianity this way. I do. We should outlaw that, too.
We shouldn't be allowing any more Christians to come into this country, either.
Keep them out, too.
Well, okay.
Now you have completely—I was five minutes away from just saying I loved you guys, you're all awesome, and killing this podcast, and now I have to shake your hand because you're not wrong there.
I just wish you had said that earlier so we hadn't argued for 30 minutes.
There's lots of groups I don't like. You're going to find that out about me.
I mean,
I'm more in favor of a
keep everyone out of America ban than I am
a keep Muslims out of America ban.
Yes. Look, the way I feel
about that is honestly this. I feel like
America is the best team
in the NFL, right? I feel like that's what we do.
We are. Someone
tell me who the best team is,
if it's not us.
Who's best at fucking playing football?
I'm not talking about football.
I'm metaphorically speaking.
The world is the NFL.
We're the best.
We're the best of the best.
You tell me who's better.
Tell me whose defense or offense is better than us.
Whose special teams is better.
Somebody's going to say China, but carry on.
Don't even get started.
Oh, they just got a big roster.
That's all.
They have a very deep roster, yeah.
A lot of depth on deep China.
The only people we should be bringing in here,
we should treat this country like it's an NFL team.
Don't be bringing in a bunch of fifth, sixth round draft picks.
You bring me fucking...
We should have the best picks.
We should be able to make the best trade deals.
Get those guys who excel at STEM.
Yeah, I agree in principle.
It's just that I'm related to people who are scrubs
that would never be led on to the team.
And I can't.
Look, I am too.
We all are.
The world needs ditch diggers too.
The world needs ditch diggers too.
And there's nothing wrong with a menial labor job, a physical job.
There are so many people working white-collar jobs
that hate it day in and day out and literally blow their brains out, literally blow their brains out literally commit suicide because they hate their jobs so much and
then there's some cowboy out there busting his ass with calluses on his hands goes to sleep every
night like a baby because he loves what he's doing there's nothing wrong with that but i don't want
any syrian cattle farmers we got enough cowboys over here as it is we don't need any syrian cowboys
riding their camels and raking our women. I will make no comment on that whatsoever.

Nice, Kyle. Double read.
You did a great job there. I'm proud of you.
Thank you. You know what? We don't need any more ad readers coming
into the country
haha got that cover you got that cornered
wait is Jeremy here? this is when the predators start their comeback
right here right now well if it's not here it's not happening
Jeremy how come you not in front of your camera but your camera finally came back
oh you see him?
Yeah, I see him. He's right there.
I just see his camera by itself.
I just see his mic sitting there.
He's in the same place the entire time.
It'll work itself out somehow.
Yeah, I can see him fine.
Oh, God, I didn't think about this before the fucking series
when I was telling Chiz that I didn't care who won that much,
but God, I want Nashville to win now,
or I'm going to be watching games starting at 10pm.
Well, if they're going to win, they
need to do something big
soon. They need a goal
before the end of this period.
I agree with that. I would appreciate
two goals before the end of this period.
That is a better plan than mine,
which was just one goal.
Come on, James Neal. Oh, he's bigger than one!
Oh, so has anyone seen 60 Days In?
Is that what it's called?
Someone help me with that.
No, I haven't heard of it.
Shucks.
I just need a few seconds.
Is it a show?
Is it a documentary?
60 Days In.
Okay, I have it right.
All right, it's a show on A&E.
You can watch it on their website for free.
They just allow you to stream it off their website.
And basically these people, innocent people,
agree to be locked up in jail for 60 days.
Because they're stupid.
No, well, they get paid.
So there was a sheriff who was like, he was bad, he was corrupt.
I think the sheriff himself got convicted of something or other.
I forget the details.
And a new sheriff was voted in and he's cleaning it up.
And apparently he's made a lot of good progress.
But one of the things he does to clean it up is he has this program where regular people,
like Marines, people who want to be police officers someday, teachers, social workers,
who want to be police officers someday,
teachers, social workers,
they go to the jail and they literally just exist as inmates for 60 days.
What's the pay?
They don't tell us.
All right, so that's a good question.
Please continue if you have more to cover.
I've got a little more.
It's good.
So what it is, is it seems like...
Oh, and no one knows that they're people
aside from the sheriff and the captain.
And the cameraman.
So the other prisoners think they're regular prisoners.
Exactly.
How do they keep someone from getting shivved?
Most of the prison guards think they're regular prisoners.
Some don't.
That sounds insane.
This is nonsense.
Why would you sign up for this?
It's scary. Now, insane. This is nonsense. Why would you sign up for this? It's scary.
Now, they have some, like, escape plans.
Like, if you think that things are starting to boil over, you can say, like, oh, I really miss hot coffee.
And that, like, sounds the alarms.
People are like, holy shit.
Usually in prison, there's a very slow build, like a roller coaster, up to where it gets out of control.
You know?
There kind of is, actually.
I don't know. I've never been. I i haven't been either but i've watched the show and you can see like other
prisoners are talking about you and they're like you do that guy's fucked up i don't believe him
anymore you know like like you can see that you're growing unpopular and uh um you know you can say
that and then i think she's joining the conversation but the towel around your neck
if you walk with the towel around
there was like a thing they were supposed to do
I don't know if it was this or what the scoop was
but if you put maybe a towel over your head
but if you walk around like that on camera
that's another way of signaling
that you want out
that you're afraid
this better be a ton of money that they're making
I don't think it is
man, this could so quickly just turn into the most traumatic thing and just ruin your
life just getting gang raped or something or just a shit kick daddy and stabbing the whole way brush
yeah like yeah this is such a high risk for one of the guys a fear factor level reward some of
the people are doing terrible there's one one guy, he's a teacher.
And he's like, look, I work two jobs.
I want to be like, fuck off.
Like one of them is a summer job.
Don't act like you work two jobs, you dick.
Yeah.
And.
You should just say, I do two different things.
Right.
Yeah.
You get all summer off.
Stop it.
When my one job stops, I start another.
I don't even take the whole summer off.
It's the hardest thing anyway
I'm getting off track the least like I work your jobs I can't wait to get into
prison I'm just gonna lay down I'm gonna he kept talking about stretching his
toes apparently this guy's toes are in dire need of stretching because he
mentioned it at least six times I was to lay down and stretch his toes and how it was no problem
for him whatsoever and then
he gets in there
and he just immediately doesn't jive
with the other prisoners and
if you're like me
at all you watch the whole thing
wondering how you would do
like how would you fit in? Was he going to put like a red sharpie on
the stall walls and correcting graffiti
and telling people?
He just like crying like the fat man on Shawshank on the first night.
That's me.
They roll in there with this mat, right?
So you walk in with a mat and you sort of unroll it onto a bunk.
And he didn't get a bunk.
He just sort of got a spot on the floor.
And he lays out on the floor.
He puts his feet on um i don't know in my high school we
had these cafeteria tables that kind of folded up and uh he puts his feet on like the chair portion
of a cafeteria table and uh and he's like oh this is great like your life is so much harder than
being a prisoner and uh all the prisoners are like what what the fuck is with this guy? They all think he's a cop.
So the thing about the way he holds himself doesn't...
It makes him not belong there.
You can't just hang out in prison
acting like you know you're out of this in 20 days.
Like, oh, you rubes are in here.
Oh, you actually killed someone?
Well, I'm going to make 30 grand.
There's two attitudes that you have in prison.
One is downtrodden and depressed.
You should be just like fucking... Just looking at the ground and just fucking lots of shaking your head and
It when someone looks at you you visually look like you're thinking back about what you did and go fucking stupid
You should have known better fucking cameras. Everyone has cameras and then there's like a hard-ass guy
Who's like this isn't my first time in I've been here that that's my old CL over there
I raped three guys in there.
You know, I think I would...
Oh, the confident rapist.
I'm just saying.
I would not
like this. I don't deal with discomfort well.
I mean, these B&Bs that are a little
below my standards irk me, you know.
I was thinking among my friends
how different people would do. I think I'd
do very poorly. People, like Chiz was like, Woody's got that MMA training do. I think I'd do very poorly.
People like Chiz was like, Woody's got that MMA training.
I'm not sure how far that goes.
You know, one, some of these fellows are very large, and that's an issue.
Some of them are very large while simultaneously being very young and very strong, right?
That's a tough nut to crack.
And they all have more friends than you.
And that's the other thing. So I used to train, and there were these prison guards.
And you guys have heard the stories.
And that's the other thing.
So I used to train and there were these prison guards.
And you guys have heard the stories.
But one of the takeaways I had is it's not like they set up very many 1v1 fair fights in an open area with mats.
That's not how this goes down.
It's surprise attack, punches in the back of the head.
A lock and a sock was the thing that they pointed out all the time. Ah, remember I told you that about that years ago with my Uncle Terry's story about how he talked about the lock in the sock
Okay, yeah, dude. I swear the prison said the same thing
It was it was like a real fuck
So and 25 right now, so you don't open your ass and let me give you a fuck so
Let's assume that any training
i've had is completely worthless and then like after that it's just it's about getting along
and fitting in and i was thinking to myself although i'm starting to roll back on that a
bit i'm like kyle's really good at fitting in everywhere like you see him in boston and he
fits in fine amongst all those city folk you see him in georgia and he fits in fine amongst all those city folk. You see him in Georgia and he fits in all those fine amongst the
the hickiest of hicks.
And Kyle will just, you know,
slow it down, perfect fit.
And I'm like, there's no reason to think that
he can't do felon just as well as he's done
everything else.
Black people like me.
And I don't think I'm taking too big of a step
to say that it's probably going to be a large
population of black people in jail
So I think I'd be okay as far as that I don't think I'd get any trouble big
Aryan guy is gonna think you're real cute right off the bat
You know there's gonna be some six eight guy with this is a federal penitentiary. This is gonna come over in County lockup. Oh
Okay, he's right about that. It's good
I really built this up into
something that so this guy's just really hanging out in a room with everybody who got too drunk
walking around the city it's my understanding that the federal stuff is not as bad that it's
tightly regulated and they kind of have their act together and it's jail that's loosely regulated
and ugly stuff happens i didn't know well i don't know if it i think it would go two different ways either
one i make some friends and i'm able to like i had that little spark during a conversation that
i'm imaginarily having with some scary guys and i make them laugh if i can ever get on their good
side and be like yeah that's funny yeah funny white boy over there he's great yeah he tells
me all kind of stories like if i would act that guy, if I could be your dancing monkey for 60 days
and I make you guys laugh,
some real knee slappers,
that'd be great.
But I feel like if I go in there
and I'm like, hey man, what's up?
And he's just like...
But that's it for him?
That's all I had to say to piss him off?
He's like, why are you talking to me?
You trying to fuck me?
You trying to get one over on me?
And I'm like, oh shit, I picked Crazy Pete.
I picked Crazy Pete. He's the one I try to warm warm up to he's the fucking maniac over there in the corner
like whittling his his toothbrush into a stabbing weapon that's the guy i picked up for friend but
i think if you make friends you're good if you don't you're not right that's how life is dude
i would just i feel like at one point i'd tell someone he has to consider the context in which
that was said and they'd be like you know you talk
like a bitch yeah you know and and i would just be done yeah yeah you'd have to either have to
be like really funny and hope that they appreciate your high stakes stand-up or you know hey you
better really knock them dead out there break a leg you know make them laugh or you're gonna get
raped what if you just walk out or you have to act totally crazy. Like, just randomly, as soon as you walk in,
just, like, sit in the corner and don't move.
Like, you have to really commit to this.
Just, like, sit in the corner and just look at it for, like, five hours,
randomly laughing, just bursting out.
Like, that might be a good approach because then they might...
Or you loudly announce your HIV.
Loudly.
You know, Or Hep C.
God, this Hep C is really bad.
Where do we get our HIV medicine?
I'm starting to feel faint.
The guy looks at you like,
he's retarded and he's got AIDS.
Let's not fuck with that guy.
Worst thing we could do is hit him.
A retarded woman came in.
Yeah, yeah.
How'd you get AIDS? Last time
I was in here.
A woman comes in and
she's not... I got nothing to lose.
That's a good sling blade impression.
Yeah, they do it constantly. I like
mustard on my biscuits.
Close enough.
This is the fucking
Sling Blade. I wish I could deliver an
electric shock every time you guys did your cut to
Sling Blade. You'd really hate it.
It's the worst and the movie's not
even that good. The movie's great.
Jeremy, please help me out here.
Oh God, we have sex. How do I help you?
Is Sling Blade a great movie or
just a normal average movie? I didn't say
not any good. I said not that good.
Yeah, I'm sort of on your side there, Woody.
I mean, I think it was great, but overly praised.
Well, hang on.
Was it great or was it overly praised?
I'm widely regarded for my movie critiques and TV show critiques around here.
I'm top dog.
Yeah, okay.
Well, I'm willing to believe that, and
especially because I agree with you in this point, and consider myself a top dog
movie TV reviewer. It's fantastic.
It's a vehicle for Billy Bob Thornton, and
that's really all it is. You didn't think John River's performance was very strong?
No, in fact, they almost named John Ritter as well.
I thought he was fantastic.
But it's an acting piece.
The performances hold up better than the overall film does.
I think that's because you're not from the South.
There's so many...
So they really hit the nail on the head with a lot of the likes.
It's been in Nashville for like 20 years.
What does it mean when the guy types bump a hundred times
over here in the chat? What the fuck is going on
with that shit? That's so that if we actually
share this screen with our viewers at any point
that anything that's written in that chat won't
be shared with them. It becomes private.
Yeah, sometimes there's personal information there,
credit card information, addresses, etc.
He's just trying to move the chat up further.
I'm a real big fan of that.
There was nothing even particularly private. I'm sorry to cut you off, further. I'm a real big fan of that. There was nothing even particularly private.
I'm sorry to cut you off, Kyle.
I just do it a lot.
I think that Billy Bob Thornton did a better job than Tom Hanks did
playing a mentally handicapped man.
I agree with you.
I love Forrest Gump.
I think it's one of the best movies ever.
Well, I don't know if it's one of the best movies ever.
I love Forrest Gump, but I don't think it's one of the best movies ever.
I immediately took that back, yeah. Forrest Gump, but I don't think it's one of the best movies ever. I immediately took that back, yeah.
Forrest Gump is overrated.
Absolutely.
I really enjoy that movie.
And sometimes over time, I forget how much I liked it.
And I'll catch it again and be like, you know what?
Yeah, it's got a vibe to it.
A hope.
I think you can enjoy the hell out of that movie without giving it more credence than it deserves.
I mean, Jesus, it's a good movie.
It's not like The Godfather.
No, it's not like The Godfather.
That's a good question. Did you see
the thing HBO, I think HBO
did, where they combined The Godfather
into one? Yeah, I was watching that today.
That's really good, or at least I thought
it was. I mean, I would rather watch
it chronologically, and
I'm not always that way.
For instance, with Deadpool, I've really appreciated the way they shot and showed you the flashbacks out of order.
I thought that really supported the current story they were trying to tell.
I think flashbacks can be crucial.
But, man, I got such a kick out of The Godfather in chronological edit.
I don't know if I can ever watch it any other way.
People have said, oh, but it ruins
this about the film. It ruins that about the film.
I'm like, no. It makes this film very
easy to get your head
wrapped around what's going and where the story's
going. Then, now that you're not
thinking all the time and trying to do math equations
to figure out who's who and why
people are doing what they're doing you're like you can appreciate the performances
you can appreciate the uh the way those scenes are set up the camera work that there's so many
cool i've watched a documentary i think of or at least some youtube videos about the godfather i'm
a big fan i i like it a lot well i mean i think the first two movies are great but i would rather
watch them chronologically than the way they were originally released.
Agreed.
Because I feel like it gives me better understanding of what's going on, better character understanding of why they're doing what they're doing.
Like, all the De Niro shit, I think, plays way better chronologically than it does in flashbacks.
So I think it's genius.
I love it.
So is this, like, one long, like, ten-hour movie or something with all three movies in there?
It's eight hours long.
So are they editing stuff out of the movie, too, to make it?
No, they just...
Is it just reorganizing it?
Yeah, it's reorganizing the three movies into chronological flow.
That's literally all it is.
I'll have to check that out, because that is annoying with The Godfather.
Because you spend so much time trying to figure out what the fuck each mumbling
Italian is saying that you don't actually
follow it. Like, I care so much
more about the old Godfather in
the first movie, now that I have the
understanding of the young Godfather
from the second movie. The first
time I saw The Godfather, I was like, okay,
he's the boss, whatever, whatever.
But after having seen the second movie, the first movie
makes much more sense.
And so chronologically, I think it's a total no-brainer.
Makes perfect sense.
Yeah, I definitely agree.
Yeah, I really like that.
I saw that come on HBO,
and I think I heard Howard Stern talking about it,
and I went home and watched it immediately.
Well, you don't watch that immediately.
I started watching that.
How long is it?
About four hours?
About half a Civ game.
Half a Civ game? It's a full Civ game
long. It's a full Civ game long.
You need to break it up into four viewings
unless you've got tons of free time.
But I thought it was very good.
It's an improvement over what was there before, I thought.
Or at least a really good thing to watch.
If you've already seen the films
in the way
Coppola intended um then this
is nice to see it this way now because i know the story i know the characters but now to see
it this way i'm it it just felt new and fresh and nice i liked it yeah agreed
i have an ama question sounds like we're at a pause. Oh, yeah. Who are your personal favorite creators to watch on YouTube if you get a chance to do so?
Furthermore, what is your preferred genre to watch on YouTube if you're just looking for entertainment on the site?
Love to know who, what you three watch, plus potential guests that even says that have as preferences.
So no bullshit, all bullshit aside, I watch all the CinemaSins.
So no bullshit, all bullshit aside, I watch all the CinemaSins.
I watch the ones about the movies I love,
and even more often do I watch the ones about the movies I hate.
You are very gracious to say so.
I find that our tastes in movies are aligned pretty well.
Usually when you say, it's very rare that you're like,
eh, what the fuck is this? What is this going on here?
And I'm like, well, actually, that was a pretty good moment. I'm always like, yeah, what the
fuck was that? God damn it, Peter Jackson.
You don't watch your own movies?
I'm with you. And so I really like
your content and it is what I'm watching right
now most
regularly and
loyally. But I also like
to get on and go deep into YouTube and
find weird stuff. The Hydraulic
Press guy has already gotten old to me, I think, if I'm being honest.
I'm trying to think what else I watch.
Man, Kyle, if I'm being honest, I used to write for realseo.com,
a website that talks about news and tips and tricks for video marketing.
This was before CinemaSins.
I used to write articles that included your videos, man.
And to be on the other side of it now,
where I'm sort of like you,
like I'm a creator that has lots of fans,
it's insane!
And then I'm on your freaking podcast,
it's even crazier.
And then you find out I'm a bigot,
and you're like, ah, man.
I'm just ignoring the Trump debate.
But it's a YouTube channel that I always try and promote when I can.
And I'd like to hear if you'd let me.
And it's 1A4 Studio.
They do 60 second hand drawn animation recaps of movies.
drawn animation recaps of movies so the matrix in 60 seconds or the back to the future in 60 seconds or um star wars force awakens in 60 seconds i like and they have like sims like audio where
the characters they draw are like they don't say real words they just kind of emote through noises
and they're they only have like 90 000 subscribers it's criminal how undersubscribed
these guys are because their talent is out the ass and i just can't go one moment without
mentioning them if you'll allow me i really think all you guys would enjoy them if they're as good
as you say i guarantee they explode oh yeah it just happens like it how popular are on youtube has a lot to do with how
many videos you make and how good they are yeah a lot of people want to discount all these successful
people as like not actually doing a good thing but no man like making good videos and making
them on a regular basis you'll explode yeah that consistency matters consistency matters a lot, I think.
And I think you guys will all agree with that.
I like how it should have ended.
I like anything about movies and film.
I really like how it should have ended.
I was watching someone's video the other day,
and they were breaking down the science
of how a scene in The Godfather was shot.
Yeah, I saw that.
They were talking about the scene
where Michael's sister and her beau are asking for permission to marry.
And they talk about how that was framed and what it means and everything.
And I liked that a lot because I had noticed that, but I certainly never thought about it.
I knew that, wow, it's just Michael and her talking now.
He just put his ass to that other guy like he wasn't even there but i i never like really dissected it the way that video
did i like that a lot so i like anything about film anything that teaches me a little bit more
about movies and lately it's a little embarrassing but i've been watching a lot of uh uh uh company
of heroes tutorials so it can become better at this video game I've been obsessed with. Taylor, what about you?
Favorite genre?
Not as specific as Kyle's.
I like
animals fighting each other.
Animals fighting each other.
I've seen every video on the internet
of animals fighting each other. If you send me one
within one second, I will tell you.
I know exactly how this ends.
The grizzly bear ends up being a bitch and never actually throws a swipe.
Challenge accepted.
And that is like, it's like
panning for gold looking for
animal fighting videos on the internet
because so many assholes will put like
grizzly bear versus, you know,
gorilla. And then it's just like
two bad pictures photoshopped together
in a still shot and it's like some montage song behind it from 2002. And it's just like two bad pictures photoshopped together in a still shot and it's
like some montage song behind it from 2002 and it's just fucking horrible but animals fighting
is huge i watch a lot of hockey highlights and uh that really might might be it i like um
yeah that's that's most of it i've watched a couple tutorial videos for a company of heroes
but that's not one of my standard things.
I'm trying to think of other genres.
I like the film stuff too,
but I'm not nearly as into that as Kyle.
Not nearly as much as a buff.
Have you seen this UFC in Australia one?
Yes, I have.
It's two Koalas fighting.
Gosh darn it, I thought i'd get a new one
and they're not even i think they're playfully wrestling i think they're fighting koalas are
mean so koalas are always eating that eucalyptus and those eucalyptus leaves like like get them
high they're they're all so if you ever see a koala in the wild he is fucked up he is so high
right now because they are always high and they get angry and they
got, like you think of koalas, it's like oh look at
this fucking natural life teddy
bear. No, they got really serious claws
and teeth and stuff. They'll fuck you up. So yeah
when they fight, they're all high
wrestling on the ground but they mean it. It's like
a mean house cat. Like it's not gonna
kill ya but if it's mad
it can do some damage.
You know? Like you you can underestimate it.
But, yeah, they're all crazy.
You want to go next? Your favorite genres?
Who have you been watching lately?
Aside from 1A4 Studio?
Are you talking to Jeremy? Yes, did I say it wrong?
Jeremy got up. Oh, did he?
On my screen. Woody, he's still there.
Yeah, oh, you can see the same.
Yeah, yeah, I see the same as you. Oh, that's so funny.
I think I'm the only one with real-time Jeremy footage.
Well, while he's gone, I feel like this is a good time to interject my Company of Heroes talk,
because I don't want to bore him with that, because I don't even know if he likes video games.
I've been playing a lot of Company of Heroes.
I can beat it on hard now.
Really?
Yeah.
So you're really trending up fast.
I haven't been able to play recently as much.
I've been too busy, but you've been putting in the hours.
I've been practicing a lot.
Now that I've got this
laptop here that i'm doing this podcast through i'll uh i'll be like with my girlfriend like
normally like my girlfriend i watch tv and hang out together and then if i want to go play i've
got to go downstairs to my gaming pc and we're really separated and she doesn't like that if
i'm doing it all day or all night or something like that but with this i can just kind of chill
with her and put it in my lap and play and talk to her as I play
and kind of teach her how to play as I go.
And I've been playing lots of single player
against all the different opponents.
The Americans really do suck, by the way.
I can beat the Americans on normal difficulty
with one hand tied behind my back.
But if I switch it to Germans,
it's like, oh shit, buckle in.
The Germans really are just better.
But I've definitely gotten better at the game
just learning unit composition and what units to build
and how to control the map
so are you building your own
strategy from it or are you watching and kind of
being like okay I see you start
out with two platoons of this and then you
make an anti-tank
no I watch some of those videos
but with that game it seems like
it's so situational and reactive and or preemptive that what someone else does might work, but never in your scenario.
It's very situational.
So one game, you might need to build four conscripts at the beginning of the game and just that.
But another game, you need to immediately build that infantry campagna building or whatever and crank out a couple of MGs or something like that. But another game, you need to immediately build that infantry campagna building or whatever
and crank out a couple of MGs or something
like that. It just depends what the enemy is doing, who he's
playing, and what
commanders he picks. The commanders
are the way to go. I learned more about
the commanders. That's basically like your
class setup in Call of Duty. Before
I was just like, I don't know, I'll pick the guy with the mustache.
But now that I know a little more about it, those guys
really shape how you play the game.
So yeah, digging that.
Is this a new game?
Germany. Or excuse me, Soviets.
How old is this game?
Way newer than Age of Mythology.
Came out last year.
Maybe, yeah, 15. In the fall of last
year it came out. It's a very good game.
Hey, a game that people maybe are interested in
because it's new and coming out. Did you guys see the
new Civ 6 trailer?
Yeah. I'm fucking disappointed.
I don't know what happened to their graphics.
I don't know what they're doing and why all the colors are in
pastels.
Are you joking? No, I'm not joking.
It looks like shit. It looks like a
mobile game, but all the changes
that they've made to the gameplay. Did we see something different?
I haven't even watched it.
I went to the website on
Forbes, and yeah, I saw the article
on Forbes, and I think it was Forbes.
The one I saw was different.
There was no gameplay in it.
It was just some heads floating over
like a hand-drawn timeline.
Yeah, that's the one I saw. I saw screenshots of the
game, and it didn't look good at all.
It looked like a step down from Civ V. What I do like is saw screenshots of the game and it didn't look good at all. It looked like a step down from
Civ 5. What I do like
is there are changes to the gameplay,
the unit stacking. You'll be able to do things like
combining two different units together
to make some new squad
that's better at a thing.
So you can have multiple units on a tile
technically, but it's not those stacks
of doom that they talk about from Civ
3 or whatever it was
Cities now are very expansive instead of being on one tile. They'll take up multiple tiles There will be districts to your city the the you know a library district might be added to up your science yield
And then the really cool thing that's sort of a situational thing it never really made sense for
the Egyptians who are like in a desert somewhere to read to be able to research sailing quite as fast as
the Japanese who were a coastal
civilization.
Now that comes into play. If you're a coastal
civilization, you'll learn how to sail faster than the
Egyptians will.
That'll be a challenge to balance.
It could be, yeah.
It won't be significant, I don't think.
It's just stuff going on in the back end, maybe.
Who knows? We'll see.
This Civ VI trailer looks like the movie that would be playing on repeat
on a little TV at a museum.
Just the same footage, zooming in.
Oh, there's Paris. Oh, there's a war footage.
Yeah, there was nothing in the trailer.
I haven't seen anything from the game yet.
There is nothing from the game.
Yeah, there's nothing there. It's just the screenshots
from that article that I saw.
And I don't know.
I'm sure it'll be good, but
my honest opinion is this. People seem to like the trailer, Kyle,
but it doesn't show any gameplay.
Yeah, and they don't know.
I don't care who those people are.
It's an announcement trailer, though.
Those people are like those fucking assholes that play COD every year
and love it. And they're like,
Oh, I can't wait for the new COD.
We're going to play the new single player. Can you see? We're going to
be ghost unlockable.
There's a new money, $100 bill
camo. They're the people who are still obsessed with that
shit when you and I are just like, I'd
like some good gameplay.
I'd like good mechanics to the game.
I'd like a new innovative strategy.
I like a lot of the things about
Civ, but I think you're going to have to wait until the modders make it look good they're gonna have to wait for some texture mods
uh you know it'll be three or four months after the game's released before it's looking the way
it should because some fucking 17 year old will have to do the work for free that's that the sid
meyers team should be that's the truth that's 100 the truth and it's not it's not a new thing it's
been it always happens somebody said, I wonder if they'll continue
the tradition of being incredibly buggy
in multiplayer.
Yeah.
It was a tweet. It got popular.
But yeah, I mean, I'm not a
sim expert anymore, but the multiplayer
is typically wildly buggy.
And even now, it seems like
one connection hiccup and your six-hour game
is just gone.
I've become a bit of an expert at recovering games.
You have to if you're going to play a game like that regularly.
But still, it's a buggy situation.
It's best played with smaller groups of people, as in one or two.
When you get to six people in the game, it's a real crap shoot.
I don't think I've ever, ever, ever played a game of Civ with six people in it
that went the distance
Have you Chiz? I'll allow you to chime in just this once
It just never he said no it never happens because there's always an issue with the game the game will freeze it'll lock up
Be unresponsive or you'll just lose progress, so here's the hope an audience if every six player game doesn't work
Yeah, well most people play single-player.
Single-player is so immersive and time-consuming,
and you can play a 1v1 against an AI,
or you can play dozens of AI and many scenarios
and situational stuff that you can do.
But Chiz and I love it for the multiplayer.
We play that NQ mod, that filthy robot,
and those guys play, not lately or anything,
but that's what we were into and what I
would be into if I were playing right now.
It's a very tricked out version
of multiplayer that cuts all the bullshit out,
adds a lot of stuff that's
fundamentally correct that should have been there to
begin with, and makes the game a lot more
fun. That's how I like to play the game. I'm looking forward to
Civ 6 though, because Civ 5 is probably
the game I've spent only second to
COD 4 probably the most time in civ wow i didn't expect that's a lot of time yeah i thought that
one of the other cods would would compete you know yeah i guess that's true i i got like i got 10 i
got 10 or 15 days in my work i was thinking this uh while we're talking about cod so uh a lot of
us discovered cod and cod 4 right a lot of us discovered COD and COD 4, right?
A lot of us are kind of old school.
But Modern Warfare 2 broke the sales records, right?
And I think the highest selling one ever
was Black Ops 1, right?
So when COD 4 re-release is remastered this fall,
it's going to be a second game,
a new game to a lot of players.
A ton of people haven't played COD 4
like we have.
I think there's going to be some Christmas noobs
for COD 4.
That would be a Christmas miracle.
I would be one of them.
I'm sure my gun
skill is terrible. Jeremy, are you a big
gamer at all?
Yeah, I just
played Civ 5 like crazy. I, are you a big gamer at all? Yeah, I just, I mean, I play Civ 5
like crazy.
I don't play a lot of the shooting games
because I suck ass at them.
And I'm just so tired of being
beaten by 13-year-old
mocking buttholes.
I just don't even try anymore.
I mean, the whole reason there isn't FPS Rush
is because I was tired of those 12-year-olds beating me
and I invested far, far, far too much time in making sure that they were the ones on the losing end of things.
It was years of fucking practice and a fucking stupid video game that got things done.
The whole reason there's a Woody's Gamer tag is so I could start winning games.
In particular, I'd see these players who were very good on YouTube,
and it was like, I am going to become one of them,
and then when we play together we'll never lose well and i also liked the i liked the old tom
clancy games like roguespear and rainbow six like the original ones that let you sort of attack the
mission the way you wanted to whereas the call of duty games sort of force me through a certain
path it's on rails and it really it really bugs, and I realize I'm maybe showing my age,
but I don't want you to say,
now you've killed all the people in this arena,
go 12 steps this way and kill all the people in this arena.
It's kind of boring.
I want to be able to kind of be in control.
For a game like Call of Duty, that makes sense,
because it's like, you know what you're supposed to do.
It's like, your mission is to fucking take the the objective and then you sit on the mini-map
there's the fucking objective if there's five different ways to get there and there's different
enemies you might have to get through maybe there's a stealth route maybe there's one where
you just have to gun your way through you know that's fun what i don't like is a game like a
dead space or skyrim where there's not a little mini-map. It's a world that you have to explore,
and they're just like,
some dude in the beginning, like an oracle,
is like, oh, you gotta find the wizard's breath
in the Solace Castle.
And you're just like, well, what the fuck?
Where do I go? Where do I start?
But Dead Space is great.
You just hit find a wizard's nest,
and you can see exactly where to go.
Man, I would kill for a
tit-finding mission. That's amazing.
I think you said breath, though, right?
Breath, breath, either one.
You can find either one.
Totally different. He said breath.
Like...
I was trying to make it be hard to find.
If you cannot find a wizard's breath,
you certainly can't find his breath.
You know?
Anyway.
I imagine that wizard's breath was like some sort of rare plant anyway.
I wasn't thinking literally.
I thought it was a barely visible fog.
It's what comes in your bouquet in the 1-800 flowers in Middle Earth.
Yeah, I really like that feature in Dead Space.
That was one of the greatest things about that game,
besides the environment and the innovative.
Everything about Dead Space 1 is just amazing.
Dead Space 3 is shit, in my opinion.
Dead Space 2 is pretty damn good.
But Dead Space 1, in my introduction to Isaac Clark,
I think the protagonist's name is,
everything about that I love,
because Isaac's not a souped-up, roided-out Doom,
you know, the guy from Doom.
He's not some, like, block-headed soldier.
He's not a killing machine.
He's not Schwarzenegger.
He's not John Master Chief.
He's none of those things.
He's an engineer.
He's there to get the refrigerator working.
Not really, but, you know,
he's there to work on the electronics, and then all of a sudden he's got to use his like engineering tools to like
fight some multi-armed demonic alien mutated human corpses in a giant station that's powered down
that was the best part of it is that like so many games even like halo like they started off like
man what an insurmountable task
but if there's one guy he can do it it's the guy that you are and it's like okay but dead space
it's like yeah shit's getting out of control all the soldiers that were here to protect you
they're fucked they've been dead for weeks man you got a wrench and some weird soldering tool
find your way out like and so you don't feel like you have any power the whole time.
You're just a guy in their world.
And that's what makes it scary.
I think Dead Space 2 is just as good as 1.
I love it.
What did we play together, Kyle?
Was it 3 or 2?
I think we played 3.
3 sucks.
I think that's the one where we were trying to fly
and I kept failing at it.
I don't know what...
Kyle just didn't get the hang of that. I think that there might...
so the tiniest amount of input lag would have would have caused an issue and
maybe because it was hosted on your machine I'm not seeing what's really
going on. I don't know. Maybe I'm just bad at flying through space and avoiding
asteroids but god damn it was frustrating. If we hadn't been doing a
let's play I'd have been like you know? I don't think this is the game for us
anymore.
I was losing my patience quickly with that.
I didn't care for that at all. But you're like,
in space, remember that, it's like that scene from
Star Trek Into Darkness
when they
fly between ships in space
but just in spacesuits.
And they've got little retro rockets to kind of
guide them around. It's like that, but you're playing the guy with the retro rockets
and you don't live.
I didn't live.
I died time and time and time and time and time again.
So I didn't care for that.
Jeremy, I hate to ask this because I'm afraid it's not,
but is your channel the one that just did the review with Deadpool?
Are you asking me?
Yeah.
No, that was Screen Junkies.
They actually got the Ryan Reynolds to join them on their Honest trailer,
and that's a huge get, and it was a great video.
I was really happy for them.
I feel like Ryan Reynolds loves this character and everything about it so much
that he'll come to a birthday party as Deadpool if you really ask him.
Yeah, right.
I think we could get him on the show as Deadpool.
Yeah, I mean, if we were to ask him at this point to help us with the Sins video,
he'd probably say yes, but we'd be copying screen junkies at this point,
so there's no point in that.
But yeah, he's so about this character.
He's all in.
He's recorded like 30-some promo videos, and they're all freaking hilarious.
I saw somebody on Reddit like ran them all down today.
Like all the marketing shit
that Ryan Reynolds has done for Deadpool.
And it's all hilarious. So I just
respect that guy so much.
I don't know about his deal, but I hope
he's getting some money on the back end. I hope he got
a bonus for how much money
that movie made. And I hope they don't do that
Hollywood back end accounting
where they fuck him out of it, which seems
less prevalent these days
because it happens
so much in the past. People are hip
to it. Everybody's got a larder
that's heard of it. If I've heard of it, they've heard of it,
right?
That upsets me, though, when I see a movie
go out there and make, say,
it's a $50 million movie, they make
$300 million, and then the
guy who did it, the guy whose performance
elevated it, or the guy who
was responsible for it at least
in some large part, in some part
gets gypped. I see
sometimes they'll really get fucked over, they'll get almost
nothing. They'll end up getting $50,000
or something.
It's clear he loves the source
material and he gets it, and it's clear he he loves the source material and he gets it
but i mean he's in it the studio was willing to just let him and the director you know pay homage
to the source material like that movie succeeds because he he's perfect for the role but they
also really respect the source material and that just doesn't happen enough you look back at the
the deadpool and the you and the Wolverine origins bullshit,
and that's not respecting source material at all.
That is, how can I make the source material fit what I want to do?
And so I think Deadpool succeeds.
I think it's great.
I think it's an A movie, A minus.
It's not quite as great as we all blowjobbed it on the first weekend,
but it's fantastic.
It's really funny, and it really just respects the source material.
And if more superhero movies would do that,
I think we'd have more...
Marvel is killing it.
So you're not doing it
because you're worried about copying screen junkies?
No.
I mean, I think it's on the schedule for June right now,
but my business partner, Chris,
is genuinely concerned
that Deadpool sins the movie himself so much
that our video would not be enjoyable.
And you have to understand, Chris and I,
I'm the progress guy.
Chris is the excellence guy.
So I push us to move forward,
and he pushes us to be excellent before we move forward.
And so I want to send Deadpool tomorrow.
I've got the DVD sitting right here.
And I think it's just like any other movie,
but because it is so self-referential,
I've drank too much wine.
So fourth wall breaking.
I think Chris has genuine concerns
that there's enough material for us here,
but he's going to dive into it this weekend and we'll find out.
But I do love the movie.
I think you caught my attention with the afraid of copy.
So I didn't get a chance to answer whose videos I'm watching lately.
And the people who know, I've been watching a lot of Casey Neistat.
I've watched some Roman Atwood and a bunch of other vloggers.
I've started to really enjoy the genre, and I wouldn't think I would have.
Where to draw the line on copying is a tricky thing for me.
I'm like,
you know, am I allowed to get a drone or is that like Casey's thing?
Yeah.
I don't even know.
Um,
have you played this thing?
You can't have that as your thing.
He does it every video and he does this thing where it seems like from every
hotel room he takes off and it like shows him flying the drone as it flies higher than you might guess and shows the city that he's
in i want that exact same shot i am so inspired by it i i want to but i'm afraid to completely
rip it off what does this guy do he's just a vlogger you gotta do your own thing we got
you know what you like about what he does
you gotta come up with your own thing to do with that drone
like take his thing and then
fucking make it ten times better
Kyle I can't get used to that lie to answer your question
dude and by the way let's brainstorm
because you are particularly good at that
at brainstorming or at flying drones
no the idea guy
people have heard me
verbally blame you
you say it so much
that I feel like
I don't even believe it anymore
yeah you say it so much that when I do come up with ideas
people are like eh that would nearly live up to
Woody really oversold that idea
that's how I felt about my house tour
he said he came up with the best ideas
he said he like fucking
comes up with million dollar ideas and then makes them rain and then kyle kind of came up with a
dud there i don't know a muslim catapult like nobody's gonna fund that i'm saying what i think
though like like i'll be like yeah i would like to do this and kyle's like no what you do is and then his twist quadruples what what I
was thinking of and uh and and you can see it in his own videos too like he his ideas are better
than mine I'm a little better at getting the work done yeah but he's better at the ideas by far
there you go see that's Chris and I I have all the. Chris wants to make them all good before they go out to the public.
So without both of those elements of the equation, we could not exist.
So I'm coming to make peace with it.
There it is.
I like tinkering and coming.
I like thinking of how things, look at the way something works and then figure out what you really want it to do
and figure out how you get A and B to connect.
Same thing happened with those acetylene bombs I made the other day.
Please tell me that we'll do this.
There's a Casey Neistat video where he has no view.
It's real recent. It's like two or three days old.
And he climbs out the window because all it is is this concrete pad,
and then he climbs onto the roof,
and there's this hidden gem of a launching pad on the roof of a hotel.
And he flies his drone up, and he shows what seems like i don't want to exaggerate like six miles of
city because um his drone is a very good one and it goes further than you might guess oh yeah and
um uh and i'm just like oh my god like if i had that shot in my video i would be very proud
and um you know if if Kyle looks at that and
says you know what he should have done like oh my god Kyle tell me tell me
and gotta keep in mind though I hated those drones so much I gave him the
woody this might not be his particular area it's my drone I just sent it to him
because I hated it dude I I don't I'm going on and on about me.
These vlogs, I'm very excited. Lately, in my
vlogs, I feel like, dude,
you guys, you haven't seen anything yet.
I've been wiring up. I have this stable that is
going to be a workshop where I can build
things out of metal and wood and motorize
things and whatever. And that is
supposed to be the lab, right?
So all they've seen so far is me pour
the concrete floors,
renovate this thing.
I'm putting electric in it.
We've refinished it.
It was damaged by a tornado.
So it was a total wreck.
Now it's a good building.
Soon it will be a great one.
And it's like that is the foundation from which I make other stuff,
you know, from the cool things that shoot fire and whatever.
And like to people who like
my videos, dude, they haven't even started yet. Like, you know, what, what should happen is these
videos should be like the daily sequence with a pop every week or two. That is the culmination of
my new project. And, um, uh, anyway, uh, yeah, I would just love to brainstorm with Kyle about the things that I think are the best about other people's videos.
And if we took them to the next level, then your shop's great.
What you need is some of that machinery that I've got.
If you ever want some lathes or like drill presses or something like that, I'd love to get rid of mine because they're just collecting dust.
But you've got a hell of a shop.
You can do anything you want in there that like you're not limited like like i used to be in a two-car garage and uh
and it felt really limited this is about the size of four two-car garages and it's completely empty
except for your shit yeah yeah and uh it's i don't know it's just uh the potential is pretty
big yeah you could do like a colin Firth style channel if you wanted to.
Like always coming up with like fucking jet bikes and flamethrower arms.
Is he the one that did the hover bike thing with the two parasail motors?
No, he wasn't.
I saw that.
He's the guy who puts a jet engine on like a mobility scooter and gets it up to 60 without a helmet or something like that.
Yeah, that's the shit.
Dude, let's put a – oh, I saw Casey's motorized skateboard.
I think it's adorable.
Let's do this shit.
Weed eater.
Yeah, break out all my hockey equipment and just wrap myself in bubble wrap and take a skateboard 60 miles an hour.
How cool would that be?
Maybe we could both get in hockey gear
and have a fight with weed eaters.
I've been on a weed eater kick lately
trying to modify weed eaters
because I've got an old one that's like,
it runs and everything,
but I've got a better one.
Weed Eater Junior is worthless now.
He's just worthless.
And so I've been trying to come up with things to do with him
because I feel like you've got a lot to work with there and i'm trying to figure out ways to utilize the power of
that tiny little engine and you know the way it works and everything to power something else i'm
still working on it but we're gonna make something yeah dude when the the i haven't been able to move
my equipment in the shop i know jeremy i'm i gotta let you jeremy why don't I just let you go? All right. Well, listen, I have had a blast.
We had two hours of prep while we waited for tech to work out
and a couple hours of talking.
And I really find all of you very enjoyable,
despite the heated political discussion we had an hour ago.
Please, Kyle.
Our political discussions should be heated.
I would be willing to come back again if you have me
someday down the road. I think you guys are all
awesome and just appreciate you
letting me share in this time. I'm going to go
watch the third period and hope
the Preds can score four fucking goals
in 18 minutes.
Definitely mutual. We're glad we were finally able to get you
on. We had a couple scheduling snafus and bullshit
would come up and everything, so I'm really glad you were able to get on the
show. I'm a big fan of yours, like I said. Thanks, man. Big fan of you too. We get lots of scheduling snafus and bullshit would come up and everything, so I'm really glad you were able to get on the show. I'm a big fan of yours, like I said.
Thanks, man. Big fan of you, too.
We get lots of people that come on, and I won't
say shit to them because I don't like their videos or
I don't watch their videos. It's usually the latter.
But I really enjoy
your videos, like what you do a lot.
Tell the people, our listeners out there who are listening
in right now, where they should go to check you out on
things like Twitter or Instagram or YouTube
or wherever you'd like to send them.
Sure, you can find us at Twitter
at CinemaSins. It's mostly
just a Jeremy account.
My opinions, not Chris's.
You can find us on Tumblr.
You can find us on...
I don't give a fuck.
Just enjoy the videos on YouTube
or don't.
I just appreciate the time and the conversation.
I really like talking to people who love the same stuff I do.
And that's what this was tonight.
So I hope to be back sometime, guys.
For sure, man.
It was a lot of fun.
I'm so glad we got a hockey person.
Thank you.
There you go.
All right.
Well, I'm going to go watch the third period.
You guys carry on, and you're awesome.
And I look forward to the episode.
Let me know when it's up so I can tweet it out.
Awesome. Yeah, for sure. Really nice of you. Thanks for sure all right thanks guys so what were you talking about uh i was just gonna wrap up on the stable thing i we were talking about the machinery and the space
and stuff i haven't really been able to do very much because i had to put i'm putting epoxy on
the concrete and that takes a month before you're like allowed to put epoxy on it. So I'm mostly just like, well, I guess I can run some outlets.
I guess I can do this.
Like getting things done.
And then once that is done, I'll be able to – sky's the limit.
And I can start doing actual stuff.
And I'm excited about that.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
Just from my neck of the – I always think of things to build that involve
guns and explosives and stuff like that i would build a mortar if i were you i would build my
own mortar uh like a black powder mortar that would fire whatever projectile you want it to fire
um what some people do have you ever seen those like metal coke bottles it's like a bottle but
it's an aluminum coke bottle oh yeah i don't know if I've seen that. Well, they do beers the same way.
It's a bottle, but it's aluminum.
It's shaped like a glass bottle, like a long neck, but it's aluminum.
So what they do with those is they'll fill them up with Bondo
or something like that and turn that into a projectile.
That's your bullet.
And then launch them with a black powder mortar,
which are very easy to make.
You can get kits online of ones that have been destroyed,
and you could refurbish one and get, like, a historical one.
Or you could start from, like, Dirty Dirty Scratch, like it's Junkyard Wars,
and go get yourself some pipe and some tools and stuff.
I like mortars.
Junkyard Wars.
I haven't even thought about that.
Remember that shit?
Dude.
That show was so dope back in the day.
I loved that show.
And it's only now that I realize, like, you could.
I was still young, so I was naive in regards to these reality shows.
But I was always like, God damn, this junkyard has everything.
I can't believe they had a full motor right there.
I can't believe that they had pretty much equidistant parts for both parties distributed evenly amongst these piles of rubble.
And they would both have plans right like my idea for a flying boat you know is to handle it this way
and my idea for a flying boat is to handle it that other way and then they'd run out through
the thing and be like oh just what i was looking for a pontoon and yeah yeah it but it was still
fun it was still fun and i i knew that even as a middle
schooler that's that's where i was at the time i was in probably probably eighth grade i think
it was in eighth grade when uh when when that show was out and and doing its thing i remember
they made some kind of a football launcher football football shooter or something like that
um that's the other thing that i always keep running into because uh we a lot of sports video
games will come to us
Or there'll be something sports related whether they want to do an integration or a video
And I've forever been trying to think of exploding foot like they make those
Launchers that'll shoot a football like a fucking QB threw it like a bullet, and I've always wanted to weaponize
Like I want to be shooting you know perfect spiral footballs that explode on impact.
Did you ever have those shitty little toy guns you'd get with tickets at Chuck E. Cheese
where it didn't shoot foam balls, it shot those shitty little discs with air,
and it was in a little magazine, you'd pull it and it'd just go like...
It would shoot so slow. I could picture you making some crazy, like,
jerry-rigged machine that fires, like, hockey pucks like that
at, like, 110 miles an hour.
Just over-the-shoulder cannon.
That would be pretty sweet.
Or baseballs.
Anything just to fire them out of there.
If I were an engineer,
I feel like I could make a lot of my ideas into things, but I'm not.
But I see guys who are engineers and and and do have youtube channels uh i i suppose and they do all kinds of crazy stuff they'll have engineer stuff is just as cool though like i see like
saw blade launchers and and like crazy slingshots and that's that actually you mentioned the mortar
thing and i i was like oh that's a similar idea i was thinking of a giant slingshot and that's that actually you mentioned the mortar thing and i i was like oh that's a
similar idea i was thinking of a giant slingshot like what if i just mount the two telephone poles
in the yard as a thing and uh i don't know use the tractor to pull the slingshot down and launch
it in the air on a regular basis i think he would be better off if you're gonna put that much effort
into it like making some sort of old school medieval style
like siege weapon.
Yeah, but miniaturized. Like there was one
that winds up. I've
seen like at the pumpkin chunking thing. Are you familiar
with this? Where they launch the pumpkins. It's been closed for a while.
That's a trebuchet. Taylor, can you turn your camera off?
They have three different classes. I'm toggling it.
They have three different classes at pumpkin
chunking. It's been shut down for a while because some guy
wrecked a four-wheeler on the field
checking for pumpkins and sued them all, and it's shut the whole thing down.
But they had the centrifugal ones that were like...
They would be spinning like a fan until they reached maximum speed and then release.
They've got the old-school catapult-slash-trebuchets,
and then they've got the air cannons.
But I saw one
that utilized springs so you like you turned a crank and you were rotating a a a thing and as
you rotated it the springs were were being drawn yeah were being pulled so you're just building
more and more you know potential energy up and then utilize it that way i don't know i like
tinkering with stuff i like coming up with ideas like that.
I'm not great at putting them into effect because I don't
I feel like you need stuff
and I don't know how to do it.
I feel like I don't always have the tools or the know-how.
Yeah.
I'm psyched to do cool stuff.
I'm psyched to see you do cool stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
People like my videos.
I'm proud of that.
I get a lot of positive feedback.
Just don't do those Molotov cocktails.
You're always talking about that.
Don't do that.
Try and stop me.
It's technically against the law.
It's a real problem.
Is it really?
Yeah.
Why?
It's a serious offense.
Because technically you're creating a destructive device.
And whenever I talk about laws like this,
what I like to preface first is to say
that one of the reasons I like to have a concealed carry permit is so that if I get pulled over
for a tail light out, I don't also get a ticket for an unlicensed handgun. It's not like it
– because that's when it happens. It's always added onto when something like that
comes up. So what would happen would be you'd make a Molotov cocktail and have a good time
in your backyard and it's all gravy, up until the point where you either record it on the
internet and show somebody or something bad happens. And then it's very easy for either
one concerned citizen or an agent in a government agency to go, hey, that's not right. And then they
come knock on your door. And the truth is it's not legal. And you need a license to create one,
technically speaking. I have that license so you know
is it the
FL
oh
actually it's a destructive device fuck
that might be my type 10 that allows me to do that
even I haven't thought about this
in a while I think they're considered destructive
devices and you need a type 10 destructive
device manufacturing permit to
make them which is the same thing you need to make
cannons and like
it doesn't
how hard is it to get a type 10
permit? Those are black powder
replicas now that is where you want to
go my friend because that is the land of no
registration no requirements black
powder replicas. You know what else I want to make
as a starter I was thinking
of making a shotgun like it is really straightforward to make replicants as a starter i was thinking of making a shotgun
like it is really straightforward to make a shotgun with some black pipe and a nail
or bolt or something you shouldn't make it like uh but one of those like and it's layered
like openings like pirates used to have like a blunderbuss where they just threw shards of shit
and then just boom shoot whatever's laying on deck at your opponent. Yeah. I'm just like man. I am a freaking chop saw.
And some black pipe away from my first thing.
And the things can get better.
Is my skill set.
And experience compound.
Go ahead Kyle.
I was sort of signaling to Chiz.
Oh.
I was letting him know that I will.
Okay.
So anyway.
I'm looking forward to that.
I feel like, oh, did you like me wiring up the shop?
You're adorable.
It's just the beginning.
So I look forward to the cool stuff.
I look forward to seeing that stuff.

sponsors we really appreciate them supporting the show new topic yeah i think so where do you want to go from here i've got two ama questions if you guys
don't know there's a patreon level that lets you ask us questions and we try to answer them on the
show we pick off the best of them let's do this one which movie has had the biggest impact in
your life and what movie has had the biggest impact of all time um oh that's...
I'll go first because I read it 10 minutes ago and I have a head start on you guys.
There's no adultery in my relationship.
I just want to preface that.
But what was that Robert Redford movie with Demi Moore?
Indecent Proposal?
Indecent Proposal.
God damn.
So if you guys don't know the movie, it's old.
It's like from the 90s or something.
Woody Harrelson and Demi Moore's character have this perfect relationship.
They love each other.
Everything is great.
They share common dreams of building a house on this wonderful lot, etc.
And they go out gambling.
Robert Redford's character, who plays a very, very wealthy guy, offers a million dollars if he can sleep with Demi Moore they say yes and uh then the bulk of the movie is about that scar that it left
about how Woody Harrelson couldn't quite deal with it about uh you know how she kind of wanted to be
forgiven because it was a joint decision but he held her responsible I remember at one point he asked her if she liked it and you know she didn't want to answer she didn't wanted to be forgiven because it was a joint decision, but he held her responsible.
I remember at one point he asked her if she liked it,
and she didn't want to answer, she didn't want to answer the question.
She's like, yeah, yeah, it was great sex.
And that crushed him even further.
And at the very end, I'll ruin it,
the characters get back together and you see them holding hands,
but you know that there's still that scar in that relationship.
And for me, I think it mold know one of the fidelity aspects of me like oh yeah like that i don't want that i don't want that damaged
relationship that they have i've never seen that movie sounds depressing a little bit wow that's
really hard the movie that's shaped that is hard Because I don't feel like there are that many movies
that have shaped my life.
Like, as far as getting me into something,
like, it'd be Lord of the Rings,
because I got more...
I got super into Lord of the Rings from that.
I still love Lord of the Rings.
But if it's, like, the most emotional
I've ever felt over a movie,
it's probably The Green Mile.
But that doesn't make me think, like,
man, that'll teach me to go
to prison as a minority in the 30s.
Like,
that doesn't make sense. Like, I don't know
what movie it would be.
He's an angel, right?
My thought process was always
that John was an angel in that film.
John?
In The Green Mile?
That wasn't the black guy's name?
John Coffey? Yeah, John Coff black guy's name? No, it was.
John Coffey?
Yeah, John Coffey.
I didn't ever think he was an angel.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Oh.
Well, maybe I'm wrong.
Just something about him healing the people
and then vomiting some sort of demonic evil
out of his mouth every time.
I always thought he was some kind of
almost like a prophet-ish guy
where it's like God gave him some special powers or whatever
the power is in that movie gave him imbued him with this and by virtue of him being who he was
in the time period he was all the good potential that he could have offered people squandered
because you know people didn't trust him and they thought he was evil so yeah i thought he was an
angel just because of he was a little off right like like yeah i think i think people took it as him being
slow-witted when in reality it was just extreme innocence that's what it felt like to me it was
it was like there's a being not of this yeah it was like a being not it was like exactly what i
would expect an angel to be like you know not like in the bible they wouldn't like have any children
eaten or strike anyone dead hey maybe if
you were a bible angel he would have as soon as percy stepped on that rat percy would have turned
to salt or something like that i didn't like that at all that that moment right there is real
so look i'm having a hard time with this well uh movies that that that shaped my life was that it
yeah i guess i go Lord of the Rings.
I really like The Matrix because I like The Matrix
so much. It wasn't like
something from that subreddit, The Blunder Years.
I didn't get a trench coat and
pose for any photos or anything lame like that.
But it did get me into
that genre of movies
more. I don't know.
Huh. I'm really struggling
with this. There's lots of movies that I love,
but I don't know that any of them have ever shaped
my life. I guess maybe Schwarzenegger. Let's just
call Schwarzenegger's career as something that
shaped my life a little bit like that, because
the whole idea,
the way that he does his thing,
there's a little bit of that in what I
do, because what he's doing is
he's going out there, and when he's shooting a machine gun, like what he's doing is he's going out there and
when he's shooting a machine gun like in Commando when he's mowing down an entire drug uh drug king
pins army right like that's what everybody loves looking at him shoot that machine gun because it
looks cool he's shooting with one hand so Rambo did the same thing in the back of the day it looks
easy I'm sorry to interrupt you I remember as a boy scout sitting there with all
my other like 11 year old boy scout friends and this is the conversation we we all agreed you know
war is really easy i don't see the big deal you just you kill like 30 40 50 people at one time
you know like what's even hard about let go of don't let go of the trigger. Yeah. It's the first, it's the mentality that you have when you first go into a paintball match.
If you remember, I don't know how young you guys were when you first played paintball,
but I was probably nine when I first played.
And when you go in at that age, you are picturing yourself as like the grand poobah of all warfare.
Just like, you know, a quick lean out two shots two kills
everyone on the other team is oh my god who is this this phantom this demon's whisper behind me
you know there's turning around quickly you're scared at your presence but then you get out there
and you pop out and like that you're like oh shit those are other people just like me. Oh, okay.
This is different than what I anticipated.
There are no men like me.
It's interesting how it takes you to put into that to realize it because you have such a big thought of yourself
as just intrinsically being able to do it better.
That's the best Jamie Lannister quote ever, right?
I can't remember what they said to him.
They were just like, I've known men like you.
And he's like, there are no men like me.
It's like, fuck yeah, that's the best line ever.
And she's just like,
fair enough, alright.
I'm taking this off topic,
but Jamie Lannister, he's this great swordsman
back when he had his hand.
I wonder how he ranks against the other great swordsmen.
Could he beat the sellsword?
How about that guy with the two swords
from last episode?
Brienne, the hound.
How would he do these things?
Even Ned.
I have a pretty good ranking in my head, but I guess we're done with the movie thing.
I guess so.
Because I'm just saying Schwarzenegger.
I don't know.
I liked it.
It was a good answer, though.
I took something from just watching the way that he operates a gun in the movie. It's fun to watch him do it. It was a good answer, though. I took something from just watching the way that he operates a gun in the movie.
It's fun to watch him do it.
And so I tried to emulate that in some ways.
The same reasons that I want to watch Schwarzenegger shoot a gun,
I try to do those things when I'm shooting a gun.
Because you want to see the guy shooting a gun having fun.
I hate when I...
And I'm not shitting on anybody,
but sometimes a guy's gun video will be nothing but him being super focused and intense
and just fucking... It's all about hitting the bullseye. Andye and it's like look we can all hit the bullseye like
the kid at home watching he's sat in his 20 in his bat in his backyard the 22 and hit the bullseye
before let's have some fun let's loosen up a little bit like it's a machine gun yeah i know
it's not a toy per se but we're gonna play with it just the same in a safe way so let's enjoy it
while we do i agree completely i they're
they're educational gun videos and i like those but it's really the fun ones that i enjoy the most
uh um the ones where they get all tactical and just we were talking about this the other day i
don't even want to yeah i don't want to give details because yeah i don't want to give the
details specific people i was this one guy did...
I was talking to another gun channel the other day.
I'll just leave it at that.
I was talking to Chad the other day,
and he was talking about somebody who had made a video,
and it was just so embarrassing.
It was this guy.
Okay.
And he had just done something real silly in his video.
This is bad show topic because I can't talk about what I'm talking about.
So maybe later.
What were we going to go to?
There was something.
Oh, we can go to Bible stories from Taylor, or we can go to.
Wait, does Taylor have a Bible story queued up?
No, I don't right now.
I feel like with his upbringing, how does he not have them on tap, right?
I'd have to think because usually it's something like a moral quandary or something that inspires it for me to come.
So if it comes to me naturally, I'll tell a Bible story.
I'll give you a little thought later.
I love those, though.
Those are one of my favorite things.
I'll take one.
You guys think about the next topic, but here's one that was just for me.
Woody, you're the CEO of the UFC.
How do you improve it
there are um a couple things that the ufc does fundamentally right one and people will disagree
with this they don't really hide fighters right in boxing guys run up 30 to nothing 20 to nothing
there's a 50 and nothing fighter that's real unusual um mexican guy chavez
his career ended at like 101 and 2 or something like that um it's because they're they're not
fighting people on their level they run up their record in the ufc if you're the best you fight
the second best you know if you're fifth you fight the guy who's either like fourth or sixth like
they always do
that and it's very difficult to not lose fights because they give you the fights that you want
to see they pick fights the fans want to see and i love that they do that um what would i do
differently which is the core of it i think they're missing a little showmanship right the
fact that like fighters as they enter the ring, it has to be so dull.
They can't let fighters...
Some fighters have personality.
And they would, like in Pride, one guy did a Michael Jackson sync dance with the rest of his team as they approached the octagon.
It was a ring in that case.
And if they just let the fighters have a little more personality in there, then it might do a lot to market both the fighter and the UFC.
People would be excited.
You could do a little more with the walk-ins than they do the showmanship.
They put up some lasers and some colored lights and think that they have a great production.
But there's so much more you could do with fighters rising through the floor and better ramps.
They tried the live performances when they had the UFC that was in Ireland, I guess.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, they had Sinead O'Connor
and they had the guy from Stained
who's a solo country artist now.
That was okay.
But I agree with you.
They could learn from Raw a little bit there.
Maybe some fireballs going out.
He comes stomping out.
And they need to come...
I feel like I don't even know where they're coming at.
They're always coming out of some like.
Some hole in the wall.
Some hole in the wall.
I want them to come out on a stage.
Right.
With like the big screen behind them.
Just like wrestling.
That's what wrestling is.
Put them on a freaking harness and drop them from the ceiling or something.
Like Sting did.
Yeah, yeah.
That'd be cool.
Yeah.
They do that in wrestling too.
Okay.
There's a lot they could learn from wrestling, I think, in terms of of showmanship i think they should allow the fighters to make more money like everyone picks
on the reebok deal what people don't know is a lot of the fighters are about the same under the
reebok deal you know like i know a couple fighters they all get paid similarly yeah like there are a
couple like a heavyweight brandon schwab in particular was getting like a hundred grand in sponsors and that's an outlier you know he's a heavyweight so some people are especially
interested in those but the bulk of the fighters are getting a similar deal to what they had
elsewhere and then the special ones like the ronda rousey or the conor mcgregor or whatever
they have individual deals with reebok that get them paid more than the standard rate
but a lot of them are about where they used to be and you just don't hear from them as much
but I still feel like they could do a little more to help the fighters you know have a platform of
their own what did did you see recently that uh there's been some talk about McGregor fighting
uh Mayweather oh yeah yeah I saw McGregor so I guess that McGregor posted sort of a mock-up of, you know,
a face-to-face weigh-in type scenario with the two of them on his Instagram,
I think.
And then Dana White commented that, hey,
Conor is under contract with the UFC.
So if Floyd wants to fight Conor, he needs to come to me.
And I think some people.
It didn't go quite like that
so the rumor was started by mayweather right and that's where it started from and uh um uh
people were like oh it's not true this and that and they're like mayweather yeah did you hear
this he's like yeah not only did i hear this rumor i started this rumor i want to fight connor
mcgregor and uh dana white was like he's not serious about it whatever but. I want to fight Conor McGregor. And Dana White was like, he's not serious about it, whatever.
But if you want to do it, call me.
And it wasn't, like, I just feel like the vibe is a little different than you put it out.
Dana White is like, yeah, yeah, call me.
Let's set this stuff up.
He'd like nothing more than to have Conor fight Mayweather.
Really?
In the UFC?
I think it would be a very high- fight that in the ufc or in
boxing it would be a very very even defined yet i think they're mostly talking about a boxing match
and uh um so they did but you know even if mcgregor loses does that bring a lot of attention
that the ufc otherwise would have had he would lose he will lose in boxing yeah yeah so mayweather
is mayweather is one of the best boxers that there has ever
been. Now whether he's better than Pacquiao
in his prime or not, who gives a fuck? I don't
fucking care. I'm just talking about pound for pound
talented guys who are good at
winning boxing matches, not
necessarily putting on a show.
He's the best at that. He's
one of the top three best that there have ever
been at that, at least in modern history
like since I, in recorded history and shit maybe some greek fucker like a long time ago could really
put up his dukes but this guy's a badass um so and mcgregor is i'm guessing a very good boxer
even on the world scale he couldn't be a professional boxer though he'd be a journeyman
maybe right like he could be in the lower tiers of the professional boxing leagues.
What does journeyman mean?
It's a guy who is a legit pro winning record, but not an all-star.
I think that well.
I don't think that he would even be that.
I think he was a pro boxer at one point, Conor McGregor.
And some people might say he does less than
that who knows but uh the thought process amongst a lot of people who pay attention to this sort of
thing is that even just just the eyes they bring on the ufc would be good even if their guy lost
it would be massive it would be massive i'd love to watch the fight um i like mayweather um i don't
i guess it's hard to like him personally because he's such a you know what i mean yeah yeah but Massive. It would be massive. I'd love to watch the fight. I like Mayweather.
It's hard to like him personally because he's such a...
You know what I mean?
He doesn't seem very nice.
No, he doesn't. But sometimes he'll do a thing
that you're glad... He's almost like Trump in a way.
You're like, he's a son of a bitch, but he's almost
my son of a bitch because he did that thing that I like.
I like his bets.
I like when he goes out there
and bets $10 million on something ridiculous like that. I feel like he's... I like that. I like his bets. I like when he goes out there and bets $10 million on something ridiculous like that.
I feel like he's...
I like that.
I like seeing that.
I'd love to see Mayweather fight McGregor.
So the thing about McGregor is his really dangerous thing is his hands, right?
His left hook in particular.
Joe Lozon has this line that everything is smoke and mirrors.
It's all set up for that left hand.
It's like, oh, if there was a boxer that would ever be competitive in mma you'd think
it'd be mayweather against a guy like mcgregor mcgregor doesn't want to take him down he probably
could he's probably great on the ground compared to mayweather but he's i don't i can't recall
mcgregor taking anyone down except for the panic wrestling on uhz. I think he would beat Mayweather badly if he took him to the ground.
But any sort of stand-up fight, it's going to be a bloodbath.
Not like, you know, what's-his-name McGregor is just stunned the whole time.
But just the way Mayweather fights,
McGregor's not going to be able to handle that.
What if Conor kicks him in the leg?
I don't know. I would love to see that.
It's not a boxing match.
Yeah, if we're doing kickboxing, Conor wins.
You could leave it right there.
You don't even have to go into MMA.
At kickboxing, I think Conor wins just because of his length and his legs.
Anything but boxing is not going to win.
When they put James Toney in there against Randy Couture, this is years back,
it's like, what a terrible matchup.
What a god-awful matchup. Randy Couture is This is years back. It's like, what a terrible matchup. What a god-awful matchup. Randy
Couture is an Olympic-level wrestler
against a boxer. He goes
in there, takes out his foot. I feel like we just talked about
this. Was it pre-show?
He takes the
guy out, and he basically takes
him down to the ground, and then James Tony
has no idea what to do next.
But that's not McGregor.
If there's anyone who wants to stay on their feet,
I can't think of many fighters who'd rather stay on their feet than McGregor.
So I'd just like to put on a show if you're laying down.
I bet he sees it that way.
He likes to stay on his feet because on the UFC spectrum of boxing,
if this is the top, he's right here.
On the boxing spectrum of boxing, he's right here.
I think you're right.
And that's what the experts are saying.
But the thing is, it wouldn't matter if on the boxing spectrum
he was up here somewhere,
because the guy he's fighting is up here somewhere.
Yeah.
Mayweather is an incredible boxer.
I don't know a lot about boxing,
but I've watched, like, I don't know,
two or three hours of coverage of Mayweather
and people dissecting him and people who do know about boxing talk about him. It's
sort of a Chiz-educated expert opinion, if you know what I mean. And from what I've heard
and read, and what the experts say, this guy really is legit. He's dodged a lot of people,
and there's the whole thing with Pacquiao, but Jesus Christ, he's deadly with his hands,
and he's evasive. He's so evasive that here's how
i think a boxing match would go i think he goes out there and makes connor look like a fool like
a fool because connor is throw is throwing punches that aren't connecting they aren't even coming
close and mayweather's smiling at him and he's smiling at him for like a round or two just making
him miss and backing up and maybe every now and then just blooding his nose a little bit and then
backing up a little more.
And it would go like that for round after round.
Until either McGregor got stupid enough that Mayweather knocked him out.
Or the decision.
They can go to the decision.
Mayweather's cool with that too.
I've heard an expert who had the same opinion.
That he would just make McGregor look like a fool.
And one of them, like, it was Brian Callahanan or callahan whatever his name is in the fighter and
the kid and he's been in the ring with outstanding people and they play games they're like all right
let's spar for a bit here's the deal i won't hit you and uh he's just like you know missing
all trapped up and uh it's like god this it's almost worse than you hitting me.
Because he just looks like an idiot.
Because now you don't look like you're fighting and losing.
You look like you shouldn't even be out there.
You're fighting with a guy who's dancing around you,
laughing at you,
and you can't even touch him.
You're just on the generals at that point.
Just get the fool made out of you.
Like at the beginning of Kill Bill 2
when the Kung Fu Master's like,
if you can even touch me, I will bow down
and call you master.
And Uma Thurman's like,
and she can't fucking touch him.
Is that good? That's how it would be.
I don't think McGregor can punch
Mayweather in the face.
That's what McGregor would be saying.
Personally, I want to see it.
He would love to see it.
He would love to see him doing his same thing of like like you said smoking mirrors
and a bunch of nonsense to try and distract him and mayweather would be like you you know that i've
you know this is my job right i've been doing this for a couple years yeah you're not gonna fool me
you know all those other boxers who are also way better than you yeah i haven't lost to any of them
so come on step up that that's really well put. So that happened with Nate Diaz recently.
So as you know, in striking, Conor McGregor has really high-level striking.
The thing about the Diaz brothers, though, is they're also boxers.
Nick Diaz was a pro boxer.
Nate Diaz just trained with lots and lots of pro boxers.
So one of the things about him with McGregor was that what McGregor's got going on, all the smoke and mirrors and the way he
set up that lift, was nothing
new to Diaz. He's trained with
guys who are better boxers
than anyone in the UFC all the time.
So he wasn't surprised?
Boxing is a science and I don't
even claim to even understand the
very basics of it. But I can watch it
and understand what I'm seeing.
It's not
just two guys standing there wailing on each other it's it if you're a great boxer then your footwork
alone will make the other guy like a fool it's i'd love to see that fight but i would like to see it
i don't what it should be if it's a straight up boxing match it's not a i'd still watch it i'd
still pay for it but i don't think it's as interesting as some sort of uh an in-between
compromise so that they
both get you know what size gloves are they wearing for example you're gonna put mayweather
out there and four six eight ounce gloves what are you gonna put him in i mean how's his defense
with those gloves oh very good point but i i have in my now i don't know this now i'm going out on
a limb here but i'm imagining mayweather's the kind of guy who could like,
just catch your punches all day.
Like keep throwing them out.
I'll fucking tap the front of your...
It's like he's got one hand he protects with the glove
and the other hand with his shoulder.
And he keeps his chin in the shoulder roll.
And so I guess that works with gloves too.
I'm not even sure.
And he's always backing up.
His main gear is reverse.
You want to do a topic?
I feel like I'm not expert enough to talk about boxers.
That's never stopped us before.
I mean, we've already decided about the Muslims.
And who else?
What other group did we go after?
I like this question.
I don't know.
You were really pushing the envelope there.
And I really enjoyed it.
I really liked fucking with uh with with jeremy
but i believe about 85 of what i said um i in my opinion america should be first like like i saw
that the other day when trump was like america first and they were seeing what percentage of
americans agreed with that and that made me want to go like euthanize 40 of americans it's like
we should all think that way why Why not? I believe in American
exceptionalism. I don't think we
live up to it all the time, but I still believe in it.
And I'd like to believe that we can live up
to it. And I think, yeah, America first.
Us first. In all regards.
In all matters. Now, that doesn't mean
that just because you're second Canada
that you're not getting some good stuff, too.
We won't take care of you. We'll fight to the death for you.
We like you, England.
I will never forget how you joined us in that bullshit Iraq war.
And even though it was a stupid idea, you stood next to us anyway.
Someone fucks England. Yeah, you and us have been tight since like 1815 or something like that.
We're good.
We're good.
Hey, I like this question.
I don't know.
Are you guys ready?
Yeah, let's hear it
Is it normal to hate going to work?
Yeah, of course it is
What I do and what not
I work in IT
And I travel about 70 miles
Over an hour
Just to get to work
And I earn around 18,000 pounds
A year
And that's about 25 grand
And I'm 18 years old
This is not my long term plan
As I want to join the military
But I obviously need to shred
around 12 stones.
Oh.
To begin with, but I'm working on it.
So, 12 stones, I assume
is a...
That's a lot of weight. It's a lot, right?
How many stones is like 30 pounds?
156 pounds
is 12 stones. Thank you, Chiz.
So, he's got a year and a half long weight loss program, I would guess, to get there.
And is it normal to hate going to work like that?
Taylor?
I think if you're 18 and it's your first job like that like yeah that's pretty normal like
nobody's handing out super fun gigs to 18 year olds you know you have to pay your dues but
i mean if you're like 48 and you just loathe going into work every day i just arbitrarily
pick that number you know if it happens when you're 31 still shitty but you're 48 you're
going and you hate your job every day i don't know if it's normal but that does suck like i don't think most people
don't have the luxury of really finding their passion and being able to do that most people
don't like no most people aren't just like man i love accounting like i can't wait to get into
work and open up excel like no most people aren't like that.
Yeah, I often hate work.
I guess I'll just talk, instead of a job, let's call it work.
I hate work.
I hate having to do work.
I hate when there's work looming over me.
I like getting work done.
There is a nice feeling when you do that.
But when you're actually doing it, it's terrible.
I hate it. And
it depends on the work, of course. Like there's a big difference between digging holes and making
a video about an M60 machine gun and selling a Ford F-150. You know, there's a big difference
in all those jobs and what comes along with it. But I've never really like, ooh, work today. It's
always hate. I always hate it. You know, but you trudge through it, because that's life. The goal should be to find
something that you don't hate quite as much
as the other things. That's the best
you're going to get, and that's the truth.
Most people won't tell you that, but no matter what
you do, like, if you love playing
video games, try getting a job playing video
games for a living. See how much you like them after that.
You like having sex? Go join
the porn industry. See how that goes
for you. It doesn't
work out that way. The guys who make the donuts never eat them. And that's just the way life
works. So if you really want to love your job, then you better make your vocation your vacation
or it's not going to happen. Kyle nailed it. And I've talked about that stuff before. I couldn't
phrase it any better. When you take what you love, right?
If you love photography, if it's your hobby, if every day you're there online absorbing information about new cameras and there's a word they use for composition and like all the things that make photography great.
Then you become a photographer.
And when you wrap work around your passion, it lowers it down.
And Kyle said it so well.
It's like if you can just find a job that you don't hate, you know.
He says, oh, you love playing video games?
Try making video games your job.
God, I feel like we drag his name up every show.
But like Wings of Redemption did that, right?
He loved video games.
Then they're his job.
I bet he still likes video games
more than things he doesn't like, but...
It'll ruin a video game so quickly.
You wrap work around anything.
I loved programming.
Loved programming, right?
I'd work, I'd code at night,
I'd wake up early in the morning
so I could learn new stuff,
watch VHS tapes to go old school
about coding,
and then I'd go to work and code.
And then after a while, just like you know like it's just my job I don't hate it I don't dread it every day
and people have heard this too but I remember I talked to my father once I had this reputation
amongst my family as this guy that loved his job right oh yeah what he loves his job he just skips
into work every day and he's so
successful there and everything is great. And I was like, dad, I don't really love it anymore.
I don't love it like I used to. And he's like, ah, did it take you whatever, six years, 10 years
to figure that out? You're lucky. If you were a lawyer, it'd take you two weeks. And that's kind of how I I feel now this guy hates going to work
what's his job did he say said he worked in IT you know if you dread going to
work if working IT is not your bag and and it was kind of mine like I enjoyed
it I like the people I work with I found the challenges interesting it wasn't like I'd choose it over fun stuff
you know like but
I like IT
but if you hate it
then it's time for you to pivot
pick up a second major in school or something
that's
how I went from accounting to IT
or maybe a different kind of coding that not
knowing anything about coding could a different
job do the difference maybe it's still coding but you're just coding something you care about because i i'm just again
don't even know about coding here but um you know if i were coding
name something boring a new graphing calculator if i were figuring out if i were writing whatever
makes that fucking thing work i wouldn't give two shits i wouldn't care i'd hate it i'd be
just fucking i'm gonna put some errors in here just to fuck with them but but if i were coding
like something new and cool and revolutionary if i if i'm working for elon musk if i'm coming up
with some like hyper channel what do they call it i was gonna ask you as a question but i won't
i'll leave him sequestered yeah that hyper looploop. If I'm coding the software that's going to control
the air
pressure in the Hyperloop tunnel,
if I'm coding that, I'm like, fuck yeah,
I'm the guy who can make sure the pressure's right.
That's me. I wrote that part of the system.
But, yeah,
you're sequestered.
I got lost for a second, but I got
the impression he wasn't coding. I think that he's
doing some sort of sysadmin work.
But just the same, if that's not your cup of tea,
either find something in your pie wedge.
I've talked about this a lot too.
If you get a tech degree in engineering of some sort,
then you can shift from engineering to computer science
to some other kind of engineering.
All these doors are kind of open to you. If you're in the medical field, then you can go from x-ray tech to nurse
to whatever with just a little bit of enhancement to your skill set. You're not starting from zero.
If you hate it that much, maybe you need to switch whole pie wedges and start over. You're only 18
or, you know, lose the weight. I don't know. But no, I would say that if you hate work,
you need to do something about it.
If you would rather be
doing something than working,
that's normal. No, Kyle.
If you'd rather be doing something else,
then yeah, everybody would rather be somewhere
else. But if you hate it, if you hate going to
your job, figure
out how to make a change. Just remember,
down the tracks,
not across the street.
I like painkiller already.
I like the ridiculous shit.
Because this is as good as it's ever going to be for you right now.
Life is this.
It's a tractor tire on fire rolling down an embankment.
And every now and then it hops as it's rolling.
And you think, ah, it's over.
I'm going to win.
I'm going up.
It's over.
I've changed the direction of light.
And then you just bounce back down.
You continue to roll down on fire down the hill.
So, you know, find a solution you're comfortable with.
Pills works.
Yep.
Down the lane.
This is terrible advice.
All of it.
And I disagree with it.
I think that this guy's already got his shit figured out, though.
He said, I want to join the military.
I need to lose 160, 170 pounds or whatever.
That's all he's got to do.
He's already got a plan.
Work that job that you don't like.
Use it as motivation to lose the weight and join the military.
Seems like that's what you want to do.
I would suggest even going and talking to a military recruiter about what he wants to do.
And they might be able to be like, hey, we've got a special
fatty program where we get you fuckers
in there and give you like an 18 week
boot camp. You can start tomorrow.
I don't know if that's a thing, but the U.S.
military should make it a thing
because we've got so many fatties in this
country. I feel like if they did that, if they
had fatty boot camp where they
lowered the levels
at which they'll accept someone like,
Oh,
your BMI is 38.
Cool.
That's not a bad idea though.
Actually.
I'm just processing it in my head.
Like we might be accepting someone with less potential because he's
currently fitter.
If we had a fatty program,
we might have smarter soldiers.
We might have soldiers with better heart.
You might take a guy and like,
you know what, he's great in every way
except pull-ups, right?
Let's just fix that about him
and then we'll elevate the whole level.
You know, if it weren't for his lifetime battle
with cholesterol,
he could really show the krauts what's for.
There might be diamonds in the pudge
that we can mine and and turn into great soldiers and leaders the enemy is fucking dropping sausages
they know our weak spot now right bacon launching into the trenches that's what our thing is like
when the fatties get captured they like rip the prilosec OTC off their necklace and take it real quick.
Oh, that's great.
At least I won't have heartburn as they're beheading me.
So on my flight here today, which went very well, by the way.
I flew here, then back, and then I'm here again.
So I've made a couple of LA flights in the last couple of weeks.
And the first one was terrible.
The second one wasn't a whole lot better.
This one was real nice.
But it was by the skin of my teeth.
Just like this did I escape utter disaster.
There were so many fatties on this airplane.
There was a woman sitting right behind me.
I got the aisle seat.
I'm 42C, all the way in the back of this 737.
And as I'm approaching her, I see her.
She is hanging out into the aisle.
She's taking three quarters of the aisle.
The woman next to her in the center seat,
she's already been absorbed.
She's already been absorbed into the mass.
She's part of woman number one now.
She's even fatter.
She's got that elbow thing where the fat hangs over the elbow part
so that she doesn't have an elbow anymore.
There's just fat hanging from here and from here,
so it's just a hole where her elbow is.
Yeah, there's that buried recess where you know the elbow goes.
That's where bones are.
Yeah, right?
She can't bump her elbow.
It's cushioned.
She must have been so uncomfortable
she was smiling the whole trip she was jovial the whole trip and when it was time to get off
and my back was hurting so much i just stood up and stood there for maybe the last eight or ten
minutes of you know sitting at the runway she just sat there and had no issues with it but
that poor woman next to her could have been me it could have been me i walked
past two fatties on the way to her i was sandwiched in between them and i'm trying to count rows in my
head i'm like uh 30 that looks like 42 rows yeah yeah oh god what is that thing there's a ham beast
and 42 42 a the gravity alone might suck me in.
But she was gargantuan,
and she was in coach,
and that's got to be the worst thing
if you're overweight,
to fly in coach.
I would hate that so much.
I can just imagine the...
For me, if I were 300...
It'd be embarrassing.
I feel like the night before even,
I'm just stressed out.
I'm like, tomorrow's the day
tomorrow's when it happens i gotta fucking get on that plane god i hope that the guy next to me is
small god i hope he doesn't get upset uh you know it would just be terrible it would it would be
it'd be weighing on me and then every step i two tickets which i mean i think that's what a lot of
people do right i i think i think so i've heard about
that i've never seen it in practice but my question would be with that is like wouldn't
a first class ticket be better like it is like if you're doubling um yeah that's a good point
why not just get a first class ticket and then you have that little divider between you and the
next person you can spill wherever you need yeah yeah. I'm a big fan of first class.
If you have the means,
I highly suggest you travel that way.
If you have the means.
Ferris Bueller reference.
But yeah, yeah, I really dig it.
First class is the way to go.
I've flown first class a lot.
I've flown first class more than coach.
And usually there's a way to make it make sense.
Like if I've got a lot of luggage to take,
when we go to
Texas I'm packing for like six or seven days
and I got like drones and camera equipment and a gun or two and they're on the bags and
And in that scenario it just makes sense to fly first class because to check bags for free is another 50 bucks and then
Just makes sense so i usually fly first class um but god i hate coach i and i i hate the fatties
who inflict themselves on the others than coach take a bus you want any time take a bus anything
fucking take a page out of chiz's book just hop on a rickshaw and away you go rickshaw away yes
chiz is the king of alternate travel methods.
I'm starting to dig it.
I think next time, if there's a thing that me and Chiz are going to do together,
I'm going to look into getting in on that with him.
I'd like to go on a train ride with Chiz.
I'm not getting on a bus with you.
I'm not great rounding it up with bus folk.
They'll take one look at my shattered screen Samsung Alpha,
and they'll be just trying to beat me to death just to take it.
I feel like bus folk, every item they see, they don't see it as money.
They see it as how many crack rocks they could afford from selling it.
That's three crack rocks.
And so they just incentive.
Yep, that's three crack rocks.
Taylor.
Give me that broken.
Yeah.
Have you ever witnessed someone that made you realize he or she is really, really smart?
I mean, yeah.
Tell a story.
I took it as smarter than you or smarter than me for me telling the story.
I don't know.
I think a good example would be years ago.
I think he died in 2011 but Christopher Hitchens he is it was not so much like him being
like all his ideas being great and him being intrinsically brilliant it was the way that he
articulated himself and the way he could phrase himself and his speech is so convincing and so
articulate and you know eloquent that I watched that and I'm like wow like I hope someday I can
speak like that guy just like he's so he was so fast off the cuff and not just with like a quip or something. He was
like, someone could make an argument against him and it's like, oh, that's, that's actually a
decent point, uh, on some things. And then he would come back with, you know, a multifaceted
retort and it's like, wow, that's, that's crazy. But you don't have anyone from your like
personal experiences you're
like oh yeah yeah i guess einstein maybe maybe neil tyson degrasse yeah oh uh personally i i'd
have to think about it i mean of course i've met plenty of people way smarter than me i just none
of them have been like uh i'm walking into class and i see joe that i underestimated finishing an
equation that was formerly onolvable on the board.
Got a real goodwill hunting scenario over there with Joe, I think.
We're going to take him to CIA and see if we can profit from this.
I wish I could think of specific examples.
I remember when I met Taylor for the first time, I thought, wow, Taylor's a really bright guy.
Taylor's one of the smartest people I know.
Oh, that's nice of you.
Yeah, yeah, you're a very bright guy. Taylor's one of the smartest people I know. Oh, that's nice of you. Yeah, you're a very bright guy.
And bright is the word I would use
because you're spontaneously
intelligent, if that makes any sense.
You can be intelligent about just about anything
given a little bit of time and resources.
You're a bright guy.
I remember recognizing that immediately
when I met Taylor. And I tell people often,
Taylor's one of the smartest guys I know. I think you are.
Thank you. Very funny guy, too.
Taylor's just multi-faceted, multi-talented.
Great guy. So good. So good.
I'm so glad I got worked into this answer.
Are you digging this?
I can keep going.
Don't stop. No new topics, Woody.
I've
grown in my
later years to think of
intelligence differently than I used to.
Right?
Like I used to just do like who did well in school, you know, and that was a way that I measured intelligence.
Now it's a little different than that.
I worked with a guy.
I've talked about it before.
Patavi Srinivasan.
So much better at coding than me.
And I was good.
Right?
I was better than almost everyone at Cisco.
And a lot of people liked me more than Patavi for their projects because I got shit done.
Use your email to remember.
What's that?
I said, use your email to remember.
How the fuck do you spell Patavi?
Fuck it.
Just email me.
Just get Woody.
Yeah.
She's wrote Hypercube guy in the thing.
Yeah.
That's the guy.
I was working on this Hypercube routing.
I was working on fault-tolerant Hypercube routing algorithm for um he's not even close for uh for my master's degree and i i wrote it i was proud
of it i showed it to him he wrote it faster and better than i did and uh and i felt like there
wasn't another person on the floor who could write it at all and and patali stop it with the fucking thing stop it um so uh uh anyway he's much smarter than me
but like there's other aspects of smart like like you know kyle for example i talk about him in his
video ideas all the time he's like much better at that and i don't think patabi would be any good
at that at all i think that activity is what you're talking about. Yeah, yeah, and then there's like a musical kind of intelligence and then there's like a...
That's a good distinction. There's an EQ, right? Like there are people who just relate well to other people and it's like magic, right?
Yeah. I feel like that's what I'm best at.
Like, you always talk about the video ideas and I think I am good at coming up with little ideas and just kind of think
about silly things to do all the time. Like I made a little bomb
the other day and threw up on the roof to scare the guys.
But
EQ I feel like I'm really good at. I feel like I'm good
at self analyzing myself and figuring
out why I do the things that I do
and why I feel the way I do about things
and sometimes it's not a pretty picture
to like turn that light on yourself
and to realize ah this is your own
insecurity eating at you. That's why you're mad right now. That's what that is. That pretty picture to like turn that light on yourself um and to realize oh this is your own insecurity
eating at you that's why you're mad right now that's what that is that anger right here that's
you not liking you it ain't got nothing to do with that motherfucker cut him a break and i can do that
and i can turn that around also and like look at other people and be like oh he's not mad at me
he's mad about his own failings I I can I feel I'm good at
analyzing people and kind of seeing where they're coming from and why and
sometimes without very much input so like an interpersonal intelligence like
emotional yeah the day that you make your videos I've been told from even
multiple sources that you could be a grumpy guy I think you've told me that
too I will be on making
videos that I feel are much lower pressure. Like remember those woody Wednesdays where I sat in a
chair with a fire behind me during that filming process. I'm hard to get along with because
like, I, I'm not sure what I'm going to say. And then Jackie might say the wrong thing. Like, what, you weren't ready for this?
No, it all seemed so set.
I had all my bullet points.
I said it in my head and it kept going great.
But when it comes to doing it as like a one take or something,
that pressure is huge on me and it's rough.
And, you know, and like you said, it's my own insecurity that like,
oh man, I thought I had all my act together on this.
And now I don't.
And by the way, handling all my own lighting and camera work and shit like that really adds to the distraction of nailing the part that I'm supposed to do well.
But, yeah, when it comes to intelligent people, I've just started to realize like, wow, you know, it's not just IQ as a measure. Like there's a whole lot of ways in which people make themselves valuable that aren't just
IQ. And there's all kinds
of intelligence.
Creativity, music, humor.
You know those spider web graphs
you see on video games for how good a character
is? Where it's really
high up and it's strength. And then
stamina's a little lower. And then speed.
Oh, that's shit. That's how intelligence is.
For me, my art intelligence, it's like you know for me
my art intelligence it doesn't even
come off of the side like it's not
there's no peak there it's just a
flat line between two
other points yeah it's a divot
it actually subtracts from other areas
pulls from that to try and compensate
a black hole of talent
somehow his strength is held back by his art
yeah
makes you weaker
yeah i um right and i like i don't like to think i think i'm on above average of intelligence right
i think i understand things a lot i think we all are lately yeah if we're talking about above
average you gotta keep in mind most of them people out there are fucking dumb dumbs that can't even
like god for them i talked to one the other day was like, at the gas station, she's like, I walk in the gas station.
Excuse me, maybe you could help me.
And I'm like, I'll try.
She says, which one's unleaded?
I look outside, I'm like, well, they're all unleaded.
Those numbers out there about the octane rating,
it has to do with the tuning of your engine
and the pressures.
You know, lower octanes,
sometimes they explode under high pressure. Some of these newer fancy engines, especially octanes or sometimes they explode under high pressure.
Some of these newer fancy engines, especially in sports cars, are running high pressure
and you could have the premature detonation, messes things up, your car's skipping, it's
having issues.
She's like, but what kind of gas do I put in that car?
And I'm like, the cheapest fucking one.
Have you ever filled up before?
Like, do you not?
What do you do with the other gas station
choose from Jersey
see if you're in New Jersey
the state government there has
they didn't just decide
they made a law
they knew that their citizens couldn't
be trusted if you will
to operate a gasoline pump
it is dangerous
yeah
it's the least dangerous thing when i see those gasoline uh
station accidents where like here's what happens and if you're ever if you're out there people
keep a cool head i don't understand this i don't panic in situations like this ever
if somehow that pump that's in your car ignites, what you've got right now is gasoline fumes
making a little fire there.
They're being fed by the fact that you're continually pumping more fuel in there and
expelling those gases.
If you just turn the thing off and walk away, by the time you get back from paying for that
gas, your paint job might be messed up a little bit, but everything will still be there.
If you pull that motherfucker out, it's game over, bro.
We're all
gonna die like you're probably gonna spray yourself the car and it's a flamethrower but a real bad one
most people wouldn't do that like most people would yank it out right away because that's
that's the common sense thing to do like that's what most people when they run off the road
immediately jerk back with all everything they have too and that's that's another thing that's
dumb that's not good that's how you flip. That's how you flip yourself. That's how you flip yourself.
Especially on Stinks4Made.
I feel like
that we are much
more intelligent than the average person.
In one way or another. We're at least competent.
Most people can't put on fucking deodorant
and brush their teeth and shit, man.
I like Taylor's spider web
of skill and strengths.
I don't
completely concede the intelligence thing.
I think I've proven
my mettle there, but there are
other areas in which I succeed, too, that
I think make me a good guy.
Yeah. Intelligence is a weird
thing to wrap your head around, because some guys
know a lot of stuff, and some guys can
learn stuff quickly, and some guys just
seem to... Well, I guess that's it. Some guys can pick a thing up and just all of a sudden have it stuff and some guys can learn stuff quickly and some guys just seem to uh well i
guess that's it you know some guys can pick a thing up and just all of a sudden have it and
some guys have just collected knowledge for so long and they can maintain it if you're the guy
who can learn something and now you have it forever that's a whole different talent so yeah
it could be weird sometimes you can think i meet people all the time that are not doing great for
themselves but they're bright people.
They're smart.
They've got a good sense of humor.
And then I meet some people who are doing really well,
and they're just real fucking dum-dums
who have been put in a fucking position they shouldn't be.
They're just scheduling stuff for people, flights and things.
Hypothetically.
Yeah, yeah.
I can only imagine that that some
sort of i'm not gonna do you find that you tend to lend more credence to the areas of intelligence
that you personally are good at like for me like if i if someone's funny or clever or like witty
i'm always like that's a bright guy what a genius smart absolutely
you know because it depends about his sense of humor because sometimes you meet somebody who's
just a walking meme generator slash like they they just they can they they and i do this a
little bit like i've memorized so many punch lines from so many movies and so many comedians that
sometimes you'll give me the first half of the joke not unwillingly and i've already got it there's that guy but then there's the guy
who's just funny to talk to who's just constantly like telling a joke that he just made up on the
spot and it's not a knock knock who's there kind of thing it's it's just it's a funny story with a
with a nice twist and he and you do this really well we keep going back to kissing your ass this
is going to be but uh but uh but you did that very well here We keep going back to kissing your ass. But you did that very well.
I like your...
You're like, oh.
I like that you didn't even...
Don't let me stop you.
At no point were you like,
oh, no, don't do that.
Oh, not me.
No, no, at this point,
I'm just going to bask in it.
Just going to let this happen.
Hopefully this is included in the best of
when someone makes that.
Or it's the only best of.
We're going to release it on a DVD just us
kissing your ass for 20 minutes I was saying it like not just to say like oh I
lend more credence that's probably appropriate to someone who's clever but
I don't give enough credence in other areas where someone who like like
Mozart who wrote a bunch of music and was just out of his mind smart I'll look
at that and because I can't empathize because I don't have those abilities I'm
like I just banging on keys what's he doing like oh oh this guy like something
you know if a million monkeys typed a million i'm the opposite i'm the opposite dude when i see a
guy who can like play an instrument well like like especially like in real life it's like he's a
magician like how the fuck did you get that to do that i have tried so hard to be i i work at
things harder than most right i'm not easily denied success at stuff i have worked harder
at the guitar than i than i talk about the rapist creed i i i'm not built to be good at guitar i
suck so hard and i think I always will.
And then there's the, like, I see people speak multiple languages.
Or I see, like, the things that people are good at that plug holes in me,
those I think really highly of.
I can't play the guitar.
My fingers do this lock and pop thing with the gross.
Oh, tell me about it.
I can't even control my fingers.
I have to play left-handed.
Really?
Tell me more about your fingers.
Oh, I can't even, like, hold them together.
Disgusting.
I'm trying to...
Watch this.
Watch it, watch it like...
Like, I'll keep adding...
I'm adding pressure, like, more and more and more,
more and more and more and more and more and more,
and it, like, snaps.
Really?
So your fingers are almost like a mouse trap
yeah where it's just a critical mass of tension is reached and then there's no control just close
they're not extra limber chairs no that is it's because all right so you know when you're playing
a guitar you got to be over here like this and i have a real hard time doing that it looks like
guitar in in my case when you play piano you go like this the distance between these fingers
i can't alter that right so if you were to do when you play the drums
so you can't you can't you can't do this number i can't no i am on both hands just the one or just
the one which is why i play left-handed so so i make this my picking hand and then i play
right-handed but that that
adds another like everything all the the tablature that you like get mostly you have to translate it
in your head as you're going to like mirror it and it just it adds a level of complexity but i
know that there's someone out there is going to say no you can get left-handed tablature
kind of like you like a third of it comes left-handed so now like it's like dude no i'll
just learn to mirror it because flipping back and forth is even harder on me and uh yeah it's
i suck at it so so here's what i the only thing that even comes close to a musical instrument
that i'm good at good at is a keyboard i We all are here, right? We can all type.
It requires no thought.
I can translate your words
into text without my brain doing
anything, seemingly. I don't have to think about that.
My fingers just know where the fucking home row keys
get on the home row keys, and we know where all the alphabet is.
I feel like that's
somewhat like a musical instrument.
I feel like I can type as well as
a bad guitar player can play guitar.
At least. But I played them...
My dad is very good at this. Like this is
an area that I did not inherit
at all somehow.
His grandma taught him
to play the guitar at a young age
and once he learned
the basics of music, it just kind of
makes sense to him. The notes.
He doesn't know what he's doing necessarily, but he
can pick up virtually any instrument
and kind of play it. He's not over there
playing the saxophone, don't get me wrong.
But anything with strings, he can pick up and
kind of mess with for a minute, and then just be like once you've mastered spanish you know granted
it's because these are all romantic languages but once you've mastered spanish you know if that took
you a year to get good at it italian's gonna take you a couple months and then you know french is
gonna take you even less time and then that's something that's super impressive to me and i
think incredibly highly of people who can speak like four languages i can't even imagine that having i think the ability to like a tran i guess a translator like that entire thing
of like listening to something in a different language who's in my head god i could be wrong
i thought she spoke like slovakian or wherever she's from slovenian i think she's from slovenia
i think i thought she only spoke too but i could could be wrong. Oh, maybe this is it.
His son speaks two.
His son with her, he speaks
Slovenian and English. That's where I was
getting at, yeah.
I'm thinking more like three or four languages.
A lot of people speak two, but if I talk to someone,
not to say that's not impressive, I only speak one,
but if someone tells me like, oh yeah, I speak
English, French, German,
Italian, it's like, wow, this, I speak English, French, German, Italian,
it's like, wow, this person, they've got to have a lot of conjugations and shit going on in their head
and tenses and, I don't know, it seems hard.
Very difficult.
I knew a guy, my roommate that I had when I was 19, he was from Lithuania,
and so he spoke Polish and Russian and Lithuanian and at least and one more and English
and then maybe one more I think
it was five languages total but if you think about
it many of those languages are very
similar Russian and Lithuanian
are very close to the point where like
I'll be watching a movie and I'll hear them say
and I know what they're saying or
if they're saying
is either
fuck you I think nakwe is maybe fuck
something like that so i'll wreck i'll pick those words out every now and then i think if i want to
ask you what time it is it's like man patinka alus ekhnak no no no yeah it's man patinka alus i think
that's how you ask what time it is but like hanging out with him like they would they would speak
lithuanian in private when they argued so i can remember being like on the porch like off hanging off of our apartment
and we're just drunk as shit drinking and smoking cigarettes and sitting out there and all of a
sudden they get a little argument in english and then all of a sudden it would it would change the
lithuanian and i would just be sitting there like and they would apologize like my friend would be
like sorry kyle but we're gonna have to do this in Lithuanian.
And then they just fucking, like, a thousand miles an hour
because the second one, his English was,
he was like 90% effective at English.
Let's put his English rating at there.
Although I don't know if all of us are,
I know some people that are Americans
who haven't quite gotten to 95%.
You think I should do an ad here?
Is that what this says?
Yeah.
I don't think so.

the game releases on pc and steam on tuesday may 24th 2016 so check it out thank you i use steam
now i'm gonna check that out i didn't know how
great steam was until i tried making it or until i signed up and downloaded age of mythology but
this is a great service it's no wonder people i don't understand all the jokes of like oh man i
spent 10 grand on my steam account i haven't played any games like that's just foolish that's
that's silly but so maybe i'm speaking out of turn. I haven't spent a bunch of money,
but I was fortunate enough because of our kind fans
that they all went and my Steam ID is OFPSKyleO,
and they gifted me so many games.
So, so many games.
A couple hundred dollars worth of games.
Like various people over the last year or so.
So I've got...
I have lots and lots of games that I've never played,
and lots of games that I have played, thanks to the kindness of strangers.
Company of Heroes, someone gifted to us.
If you're out there and you gifted us that game, get back in touch with me on Steam.
Yeah, let us know, man.
Because I'd like to play with you some.
I just lost touch with you and don't have your contact stuff on Steam and everything.
But I really do appreciate those codes for the game that you won at that tournament or whatever.
And we're loving the game.
I'm definitely – I'm really loving the game.
I'm into it.
Do you still play with Sour?
Yeah.
Does he like buy every game you buy and just like stay in the group?
Yeah.
How big would you say that group is?
Like –
Eight people.
Eight people-ish.
And then there's others that come and go by game.
Yeah, it's a revolving door door but it's like the same core.
Yeah, we see that same handful of names
repetitively.
Maybe five guys is a better number.
There's like,
I won't start naming names
but yeah, there's a little core group of guys
that come from game to game
but there must be another hundred
who want to play a game with me,
who message me all the time
and we just miss each other because of our schedules,
or they're always playing a COD game or something like that,
and I'm always on RTS.
But yeah, lots of the PKA guys get on there.
I joined the PKA Steam group the other day that just started up.
I think I'm in that now.
Yeah, yeah, that's cool.
I think that'll be a good way for us to get together with players
and play games.
But yeah, Steam is great.
I haven't talked to Sour in a while, but I really like that guy.
I hope that he gets whatever he wants in life.
Achieves whatever he defines success as.
Like crushing ad reads.
Crushing ad reads?
Yeah, something about the way that was written.
There's a part where there's
two or three different fonts, and I took the
first font that's small. It said, some things you
need to know about this game.
I thought that was a little note from Chiz to me,
and I was like, okay, so here are some things
that I need to know.
In my head, I'm like, shit,
he didn't give me an ad read. I gotta paraphrase this
and tell him what I'm... give my
impressions from this read live or something, and it really threw me off as i was reading it
i benefited from the fact that you found the tripping points already like total war warhammer
for example isn't an easy like it doesn't roll off the tongue for me kyle stormed the beach
and you came up and took the bunker yeah and then you know he's like this seems a little repetitive
and i'm like like oh that's the part yeah just keep you know he's like this seems a little repetitive and i'm like
like oh that's the part yeah just keep going keep flowing what do you keep flowing you know
repetitive or not you know all these words just say them out loud in the right order and you'll
be okay i like how you're describing this with the same fervor that like eminem does an eight
mile when he's spitting just off the top of his head and you're reading an ad like oh it's going
swimmingly so far i know that word i know that word oh i know that word three syllables each shit i know that one like
dude i want to i was watching my pka 178 rap like i worked it into i do these time lapses in my vlogs
and i put them to music and uh everyone fusses about my music i I do my very best. And I'm like, you know what?
I've got a couple songs in my own library.
So I took the PKA 178 intro rap that I made.
Kyle, do you remember that?
PKA 178 intro rap.
Yeah.
You know, Woody, I'm going to be 100% honest with you here.
You're saying it.
You like this one.
It's so.
You said, yeah, I like that at the end of it.
Because I'm an entertainer i lied
i don't um i let's have a throwback then because i'm maybe i'm not recalling it well i'd like to
listen to it well that's a lie but i'd like to know what you're talking about and that might
entail listening to the song all right all right so here's the thing it's it's the very beginning
so you don't have to wait much and um uh we'll just listen to it i think it lasts about a minute
minute and a half oh let me flip over to the so people can see it ready set play
just wait i'm not bad
i'm on the front page of reddit welcome to the show this is gonna be great it's pka 178
lefties on the mic some say he's a racist he told me himself let's get back to the basics
black asian or crazy gypsy he kills up quickly and chugs down his whiskey next is a man known This is the worst part. Woody's gamer tag I'm fucking awesome but I don't like to brag He's a pedo
This is the worst part
Sorry haters the body's never found
Topics are sterling and mass genocide
We won't share it all
And we will misguide
Our opinions are silly
Our stats are invented
Our stories are crazy
Our thoughts are demented
Hold on tight and get yourself ready
The gang's all here
This is painkiller already
oh yeah i like that all right we can stop here come on i mean honestly compared to your uh
the music video like the noob tube one that was that was brilliant compared to that the noob tube one was good i think you
might be thinking of um the bon jovi one that might be it i don't recall but one of those i'm
your daddy and you're in my crosshairs it legitimately took me and this came out like
five years ago i had the i i got to like 90 seconds in like four times in that video before
i'd be like oh my god no i can't even do this I can't even do this. I can't even do this. Like, Woody's one of my friends
and oh my god. I think if you google
most epic commentary ever, it still
comes up first. Oh, I'm sure
it does. You know, you cornered that market.
It does.
But yeah, that was much better, but
you know, Kyle is
very clearly not a fan.
I'm sorry, I'm on the front page of Reddit.
I was just saying what that was about.
But no, I like that song a lot.
Oh, you're on the front page of Reddit for something?
Yeah, an old clip.
But yeah, after getting a refresher on that,
that was good.
You're absolutely right.
It wasn't bad.
That is your best singing performance ever,
and I don't even mean by, not by a little,
by like, wider than my arms will go,
because most of your singing
is so bad.
And it makes me cringe so hard.
And you try...
So we've all got notes we can't
hit. I'm not fucking Pavarotti over here,
alright? But you gotta smooth that shit
over and lower that shit down to
another note. Like if you can't hit that high note,
you gotta come on down here for a little bit.
You hit them hard. You don't't care your voice will break and you'll just give it more
more like more oomph you'll you're like my voice is breaking my diaphragm must must just need more
pressure maybe i can will the sound into being through sheer force of will i will make this song you are the first singer in the world but um that
was very that was great i want to get that guy who's the guy who like he was willing to be on
the show he was the rap battle champion white guy from philly do you guys know who i'm talking about
i don't know he participates in these rap battles all the time a white guy from Philly. I bet I can find his name in a hurry. If she just doesn't know it, he's not typing it.
He's the guy.
Do you remember when he tore down that guy for being fat?
Yes.
Yeah.
That guy.
Mackley?
No.
I don't remember.
Rat battle fat jokes.
I bet he comes up near the top.
Roan, I think, is his name.
We were going to get Roan on the show for a while.
It looks like she was found at first.
And, dude, I'm like, when he comes, I'm going to have some prepared rhymes.
Take that guy on.
It would be fun.
But he keeps, like, I don't know, something happened with scheduling.
I think he agreed in context, and he just like sort of falls off the
radar for a bit.
And we haven't asked him for a while,
but I want to take on Rome.
I don't think I'd ever heard that rapping before.
And it's far and away your best musical endeavor.
So good.
In fact,
I'd say we just label it your coup de grace and you leave that part of
yourself in the past entirely never to revisit i have more to offer this world not musically
honestly any all that you would be doing is like what m night shamalan did where he
came out with a couple things everybody loved him and then he just drilled it into the ground
his new movie has good reviews.
Does it?
Well, my whole point's fucking ruined. Not good reviews.
It has okay reviews, and they're better than they've been in a long time.
It's called The Visit, I think.
Oh, my God.
I haven't seen it.
Does it have a twist by chance?
The Visit, I think.
Thank you, Chiz.
I was right.
But, yeah, Shyamalan really...
So, he was on the cover of Time, I think.
You know, next Spielberg, question mark?
I remember that, yeah.
Time magazine should just...
They forever lost credibility after some shit like that, right?
That was embarrassing.
So, Sixth Sense is excellent.
Unbreakable is very good.
After that, I have a hard time getting on board with anything.
Signs I liked.
Oh, yeah, thank you.
Signs.
I feel like Signs is good. I don't know what doesn't make it very good i guess maybe the plot holes
your opinion is the plot holes are bad but it's also the fact that like i feel like you have a
distorted perception of signs because it's like six cents it's objectively a good movie i think
is not a stretch to say most people like that movie movie. It's good. Like that twist at the end, you're like, you can see it coming, but it's still there.
I didn't, yeah.
Signs only looks good when you compare it against like Lady in the Water and all that
nonsense he made in later years.
And you can look back and be like, oh, he was good in the Sixth Sense Signs days.
But if you go back and watch Signs again, you will be very disappointed.
It's not a good movie.
I'll have to do that because I remember Signs highly.
And as I watched everything come together, like the glasses, the baseball, the failed baseball,
everything comes together.
And I'm like, oh, this guy has been laying out clues for me for the last hour and a half.
And now the notion is like everything happens
for a reason and
everything seemed
to suck until that day in which
all these things came together
to be very important
it's the water thing though like that's all
it takes to make the movie stupid
like it's and you're right he does
lay out clues but when it gets to the end
and the crux of the matter is, spoiler alert, oh, the aliens, they never foresaw that the most abundant compound on our planet is actually death to them.
It makes so little sense that it doesn't make sense why they couldn't just manufacture some other reason.
Or wear some clothes when they came.
How about a rain jacket before you invade Earth?
That would have solved the whole problem. You put a
rain slicker on that alien and give
him a stick and he is infinitely
more lethal. The aliens
were bad. Shyamalan was great with
everything he did. I love the
religious stuff. I love that
this never
lose your face kind of thing with Gibson.
Joaquin Phoenixoenix was amazing
both of those child actors one of them is macaulay culkin's brother by the way excellent lots of
great acting in that movie um but man there's something about the what just do the aliens
different or like make them they just needed to be better and different and i think that he just
wasn't good at that they seemed almost like anthought. I feel like they were making this great movie
and they just kept making it and kept making it.
At the end they were like, well yeah, we'll have some CGI aliens
at the end. They're going to be super scary.
It just never came together. I had no problem with how
the aliens looked. I thought that
when Joaquin Phoenix is
watching the news and
he's watching Telemundo or something.
He's watching some Mexican broadcasting film.
Telemundo.
You can see the alien in the back. He's like, Vaman or something. He's watching some Mexican broadcasting film. Telemundo. Yeah, and you can see the alien kind of in the back.
He's like, vamonos, children, vamonos.
He's trying to see what's going on, and that alien kind of like,
it's like walking, and they freeze frame.
It's just like, doing one of those.
I was like, shit, those are what's coming?
Fuck.
Fuck.
That's bad.
They're scary aliens and i already have that phobia of like gray mint
you know the classic aliens that are like big heads gray skinned and with the big eyes from
watching all those movies when i was a kid so that was scary for me but you know they're allergic to
water so much so that it's like they're there is nothing you can pour on a human being that'll
burn them like that that you would just keep in a room.
Like, I don't know if you've ever – I got battery acid on me the other day.
It didn't burn.
I washed it.
I was like, oh, look at this.
I got battery acid all over me.
I'm going to walk nonchalantly to the sink and shh, now it's gone.
That's how battery acid is.
You've got to wait for, you know know 10 or 15 or 20 seconds before it
starts hurting or starts really doing anything these things got a little water on them and
they're just like like they're it was like they were made out of baking soda and someone was
throwing vinegar at them or something it was they're reacting to it and it's like wasn't there
enough water vapor in the air like if i put a cold drink right here it's gonna be sweating in a
minute if they're if they're that allergic to water
then presumably just breathing our air
is like breathing poison constantly
it's because there's like a suspension of disbelief
that you give movies but if it's
too ridiculous that even a layman
can look at like you know when you watch
a movie about hacking you can
kind of distance yourself and be like
you know when the lady's like we gotta find a way
into the mainframe past the O code.
Oh, do you have the coordinates?
Yeah, I'm locking in now. You're like,
okay, that's not how fucking
tech support works, but whatever. But with this,
you see water and it's
so glaringly obvious right in your face
that you can't ignore it. You can't.
You can't ignore it and still have a good time.
I think anyone who's
knowledgeable about a subject or a topic,
when they see it portrayed in the movies incorrectly, it can do that.
Guns are a big thing like that for me.
When I see a movie that handles guns very well, like John Wick, I'm really down.
There was only maybe one or two scenes in John Wick that I thought were a little meh.
I didn't feel like he had enough recoil in his shotgun when he shot it.
Other than that, it's perfect.
He's reloading when he's supposed to.
Annoying as far as those experts go uh neil degrasse tyson tweeting about like nonsense like actually in gravity you would have seen uh venus in a different point in the sky
and what what it all comes out of is we're all star stuff. And it's like, we get it. You're real, real
bright. Like, come on. I think
you're reading him all wrong. So I think
Tyson, let's call him Tyson
from now on. I think that's easier. Neil
Degrassi, Tyson. How about this Neil?
Neil.
This is another guy. We already have a Tyson. So the black science
guy, his thing is
all about exposing the masses
to space and science
and all that stuff.
He's purposefully skipping over
those of us who are probably already into it anyway.
I love space. I'm so interested in it.
If I could just like...
If you give me a wish to do anything, it's
astronaut. It's astronaut every fucking
time. I would love to be up there doing
that. I would love it. It would be incredible
to be on the edge of pioneering.
My father would warn you not to be
a space pioneer.
I would love to be a space pioneer.
I'd do that shit in a heartbeat. Let's go.
Some space pussy, it'd be great.
Space pussy.
Yeah, space pussy. I imagine you blow a load
in space and zero G and just floating
around like a little snowstorm
inside the capsule after a while he just i really made a mistake here
i feel like sneezing would get out of control real quick on a space station too because that's
something that's not like like it's a joke of like oh you know beating off all over the place but what
if a sneeze sneaks out just because some Because some people do it in twos.
You net those boogers and go about your day, right?
I don't know.
Does that propulsion stick around?
Let's say
that it goes, whatever, 120 miles an hour
and sneezes. Does that just continue in space
until it hits the far wall?
I don't know.
Well, the atmosphere in the space station, it'd wall? I don't know. Well, the atmosphere
in the space station, it'd be like being
in a plane. So if you sneeze in the plane,
the sneeze doesn't go, like, it'd hit you in the
face when you're sitting there in your seat, like,
because it's a contained, you know,
not affected by the external world atmosphere.
I think what you're suggesting, Woody, is
what if you sneezed in space,
would the boogers continue on
forever? Yeah, what's to slow it down, right?
The only thing to slow it down are like little space particles that are just out there, you know, not too many of them.
Or if it hits something.
Yeah, that booger will fly forever.
It'll probably get caught into the gravitational field of something else and end up being another little satellite around the planet out there.
If I throw a baseball on Earth, eventually the dense atmosphere and gravity
will slow it down and pull it to Earth, right?
It's how hard you throw it.
I'm not that good at it.
Eventually it will happen, yeah.
So if I throw a baseball in space,
like let's just say we open the doors of the space shuttle
and I'm outside throwing it as hard as I can,
I think that thing soars for a long time.
Until it hits something.
Yeah.
I don't think space is it.
There's something in there.
There's little space particles and shit flowing around.
Yeah, there's little space particles, but things will just slow down.
Just barely.
But then gravity's out there pulling.
I think the gravitational fields out there.
I think Kyle in this hypothetical spaceship coming and
sneezing everywhere is just going to leave the
walls a wreck.
No, it'd float around.
It'd be all... It'd just be floating around.
Why would it stop?
Because it hit the inside of
the spacecraft.
Oh, you think it wouldn't stick to the wall?
Yeah, I guess
it would stick to the wall if it ever hit
the wall you know i'm just gonna why wouldn't it just travel to the nearest wall i don't know
what do you i want to live in a snow globe full of cum that's why just just just go with it okay
all right now we're on the same page i mean that's what we all want really
just floating around everywhere yeah no no i don't know. Now that you say it,
I share the same dream, Kyle.
I wonder if there is a station
where astronauts can masturbate
because there's no way
they're allowed to just be
fucking up there.
Although, like,
they couldn't stop you.
They couldn't be like,
hey, you two, cut it out.
You know, you're like,
I'm a million miles away.
We're going to send another shuttle?
I feel like if you're in NASA, everybody knows. I feel like if you're in NASA, everybody knows.
I feel like if you're in NASA, you're like, oh, yeah, back in the 80s when they put women on every fucking ship.
Why do you think that was?
What kind of experiments do you think we were running up there?
Back in the 90s when this happened, like, oh, yeah, first guy to jack off, that was Neil.
Second guy to fuck, that was Betsy and Lewis. First guy to jack off, that was Neil. Second guy to fuck, that was Betsy and Louis.
First guy to jack off is probably that monkey.
He probably made it about halfway through the process.
God damn it, Bobo's masturbating again.
He broke out of his chains, god damn it.
We need one monkey and you pick the masturbator.
I wouldn't bet against that.
That's great.
We know he's a bit of a renegade, but no one's matched those scores.
You ready for your topic?
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I cut off all the Taylor masturbatory monkey talk.
This one's caught my attention.
You guys heard me say
earlier the patreon levels one of them asks
questions and
what does it mean to be a man
what are some things all men should
know how to do
something about the first half of that
question what it means to be a man
and I don't know that I crush it on this
but there's a certain amount of self-reliance
that to me defines manhood, right?
And that can be self-reliance in our real world
having to do with like supporting yourself
and being your own guy
and not depending on someone else to be you.
And, or, you know, it could be some other thing.
Like accountability, dropping some guy
in almost any environment
and they're being capable of dealing with it to me is
like a part of manhood right you know if your freaking luggage is lost and you're a helpless
little bitch then i'm dinging your manhood i'm pulling your man card on that um you should be
able to you know to like figure out your way through the world. I agree with much of that. I think it goes beyond what you can do.
And I lost my whole train of thought.
God damn it.
No.
A man wouldn't have.
So I was talking about being lost.
I was talking about self-reliance.
I was talking about not depending on other people.
It's taking personal responsibility for things.
It's manning up to things, if you will.
Okay.
I think that's a big one. I think it's someone who can admit up to things if you will okay um i i think that's a big one i think it's someone
who can uh who can admit their when they've done wrong who can admit when they're when they are
wrong yeah that's i think that's a little bit of a part of it um some for some reason i feel like
there's some things you need to be able just be able to do like you should be able to change your
own fucking tire like there's no excuse for you being like getting a flat and being like oh i hope i can call some nice strong man to help me
like like because that's what a lot of you people out there do that's not necessarily like a skill
anymore though you can just google that wherever you are like you know like you don't have to know
how to change a tire in the moment like i have before and i didn't I didn't have to Google it, but if you need to, like...
I don't know, man. I think
there's a lot of people that if you put them out there for the first
time doing it, they really struggle, and it might
take them an hour to change a tire, and then they might die
because they didn't get it back on all the way.
Yeah, or they get hit while on their side of the road.
That's much, much more likely.
That happens. Well, I think manhood
all comes down to bacon and Old Spice
and The Expendables 3 and, you know, everything else that's sold to us. I don't know. way yeah well i think manhood all comes down to bacon and old spice and the expendables three
and you know everything else that's sold to us i don't know i totally agree with you it's just
it really comes down to accountability i think and uh i guess like autonomy in your emotions
if that makes sense an ability to you know take some shit or a bad external situation and not immediately
let it impact you and kind of be like all right let's slow this down let's make a plan and move
from here you know not letting yourself get too flustered if that makes sense but you know that's
not to say that if something shitty happens and you get flustered you're suddenly not masculine
or something nobody's perfect all the time but it's just the way you handle problems, I would think.
I really think of
people who have manned up
in situations, like guys who have gotten girls
pregnant at a young age, and we're like, oh,
time to throw away the baseball
glove and bat, because it's time to be a man
now. It's like no more
games, and that's
what I've been avoiding my whole fucking life,
because I've seen it. That sounds've seen horrible right i'll never forget my uh my brother-in-law like got my uh half sister
knocked up when she was like 18 or 19 or something like that and it was like i didn't go to the
wedding but i saw the wedding photos and we were talking about and i was just like even as a kid
then and i mean i was 12 i was like his shit is ruined he's fucked he's fucked now he is he's about to have twins he's 18
he's got nothing to his name he's lucky enough that his father um has this business that maybe
he can intern at some and learn his and like work his way up the ladder but he's got nothing and he
worked his ass off he worked hard i've told the story before. He got multiple jobs. Can you tell it? I love this story.
Yeah, so he got to support my sister, right?
Twins are on the way.
He's 18, she's 19, something like that.
He worked for his father at a rock quarry hard,
many more hours than he normally would
or anyone else did, working like 12-hour days.
And that was taking up all of his time,
Monday through Friday.
So he got a new job, pressure washing houses on the weekend.
He went and bought himself a pressure washer for a few hundred dollars,
put ads out there, advertised everywhere,
and he would travel around on the weekends and pressure wash houses all day.
And he'd do it at night after work if he had time.
He worked nonstop and just saved up enough money to get a family started.
And he kept doing it, and at this point, they're very well off.
Like, both of them took to that, started working hard,
and now they have a chain of daycares.
Like, I don't know how you get from point A to point B.
I guess I do, but it's not a fun story.
But now they have a chain of businesses that they own together,
and they're very successful with it.
They do very, very well for themselves.
I don't know if either of you know what it costs
to put a child in daycare all day,
but it's really fucking expensive.
I've been there before and seen how many kids they've got
and they've got multiple locations,
and I'm just like, fucking $100, $200, $300, $400, $500, $600, a grand?
There's a grand right there.
It really adds up.
So, yeah, worked hard.
And he could have very easily, and you see it happen all the time,
and maybe I'm not.
At 18, I don't know what I would have done.
Maybe if I'd loved the girl.
I know what I would have done if I'd loved the girl.
But if I'd made a mistake at 18, I don't know what I would have done.
But I know what he did.
And he definitely went the be a man route and worked his ass off until it.
That's just very impressive taylor
juarez from albuquerque you guys haven't seen my video today but i i talk about you know basically
i'm like wealth and wealth inequality is fair right different people put different amounts in
you get different amounts out there are opportunities especially if you live in like a
first world country you can make a thing happen and i I made this video, How to Get Rich in 22 Years,
and the feedback from it, a lot of it was like, well, I don't know, use 10% as your interest rate,
I think nine and a half would be better. It's like, dude, your problem is not nine and a half
versus 10%. Your problem is you did nothing. You didn't invest at all. And you're sitting here
finding reasons why you shouldn't have, trying to poke holes in something instead of doing a thing.
And a lot of people, one guy even said you know
well i'm a white male so what do i know right it's fucking awesome and uh but then i look at
this guy this guy who like got a job at the quarry i guess with his dad that helped a lot
and uh and then he leveraged that into buying like a pressure washer and then he goes from
the pressure washer to the next step to the next step now he owns a chain of daycares
um these opportunities you know what he has a red paper clip.
These opportunities are out there.
Most people just don't buy pressure washers and drum up business for themselves
and create enterprises out of nothing. But the opportunities are there.
It didn't take any special instruction to become a pressure washer.
So anyway, stories like that are really...
Remember I talked about how multiple languages,
musicians, they're just magic to me.
Entrepreneurs like that,
I have a tremendous amount of respect
for people who just like, I can do it.
One of the things that upset me the most about Obama
was when he said that you didn't build that thing.
Because I feel like not only does that hurt me personally a little,
because it's like, I've got to build a little thing over here.
But it's like, I know people who did build things,
and nobody was fucking, they didn't pull a fucking slot machine handle
before they got their business rocking and rolling.
They fucking went bankrupt twice, and then their third business took off
because they fucking worked their ass.
I don't know what he said if you could
say that oh it is something like you know you guys who are out there who have this and have that
you didn't build that you know you uh he said that one of his biggest pet peeves were was people who
were successful who don't know that they got lucky or something like that as well and i don't care
for that i don't care for that i don't think it's a good way to look at things for the next generation.
That's what you want,
a president who believes the reason he's in the office
is because of a stroke of luck.
Let me read it to you.
If you were successful,
someone along the way gave you some help.
There was a great teacher somewhere in your life.
Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system
that we have allowed you to thrive.
Somebody invested in roads and bridges.
If you've got a business,
you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. The internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the internet so all the companies could make money off the internet.
So that's the full context, right? Fuck you. Yeah. So what they did is they took the piece of it.
If you've got a business, you didn't build that. But I guess what he's really saying is like,
the reason America is great is not just your entrepreneurship drive yeah it's the roads it's the internet so i have
i have a youtube channel that i'm proud of right did i build that i placed i had a role in it right
that's for sure but someone else invented the internet right i didn't make the youtube platform
there's a whole lot of infrastructure that i benefited from. And I think that was what Obama was trying to say.
That's really fucking annoying to hear from any politician who is, for most of their life, a career politician.
Like, he was an attorney before this briefly, wasn't he?
Mostly trying to parlay that into a political career, if I'm not mistaken. It's just when someone who quite literally has a career built on the backs of his constituents starts judging you saying we're the ones that allowed you to do this.
You know, people invested in roads, us, so that you could get to work and do this.
It's just, I don't know, it's disrespectful and condescending.
And it's a clear pandering attempt to those who haven't succeeded and attempt to make them think, oh, I haven't succeeded and Obama knows why too.
You know, fucking the pfizer guy from
100 years ago just lucked out i i see it differently actually like because i here's
here's another thing that he said this is you want to watch this let me go on before we watch it okay
i i also feel like i didn't build that i feel like you know like my role in this thing existed
in an ecosystem that allowed the thing that i did to work out. And it doesn't bother me in the same way that
it bothers you. I am what I mean in the video, I keep referring to my video cause it's on my mind.
Um, and the reaction to it, I told people it was their responsibility where they are like,
Oh, right. Do you think this wealth inequality is just that you lost some grand lottery? No.
Like the fact that there's a billionaire over there doesn't stop you at all from becoming
your own millionaire or billionaire.
And it didn't go well. Yeah, wealth is not a zero-sum game.
It didn't go well.
People didn't like to hear that they are responsible for where they are.
They like to believe that it was just bad luck.
And I think back to like these political campaigns that was running in my head.
Like Hillary was like, you better believe I hold those banks responsible for allowing people
to take out loans they couldn't pay back and I'm like man really because I always kind of held the
people that took out the loans responsible those no income no job loans whatever you know what you
did you know you can't buy a mansion right you took out a loan you couldn't pay back you're like
kind of a thief to me and I've got people in my extended family who did that who took out those big loans got houses they couldn't live in couldn't pay off the mortgages
stayed there for like years while they were like in the process of going bankrupt and then went to
florida and i'm not talking about my parents by the way they're in florida i want to get it twisted
but um uh yeah you're totally right the way they outsource responsibility onto, it's all the banks.
You know, they forced you to come in and apply for that loan that you knew,
if you could do some simple math,
that you're not going to be able to pay this off in the way that they've planned.
Like, the banks shouldn't have been allowed to offer those in the first place
because it's predatory in a way.
But those people should also have the wherewithal
to look at it and be,
God, just like looking at a Lamborghini
being like, this would be so great,
but I just can't.
Disagree.
McDonald's isn't predatory,
and neither were those banks.
Those people were stupid.
I was working in finance in 2005.
It was fucking...
I saw this so many times with cars.
This is a tenth
of what we're talking about with homes.
So many people just don't get it.
Sitting there at that desk
to have sat across the desk from so many
people that are purchasing a car and talk about car payments
and see what they think
about car payments,
I would say,
what would you like your car payment to be?
That's a little sales technique I like to use.
What would you like your car payment to be?
What can you afford?
Because let's talk about the monthly thing,
not about the big MSRP over there.
And they'd be like,
well, I was hoping I could get away with $300 a month.
And there would be so many times where I'd hear that,
and it was dumbfounding,
because they'd be like,
wait a minute,
whoa, whoa, whoa.
So how many months were we going to finance 48 000 fucking car at 300 a month then
how how long do you think you're gonna live highlander it's just gonna work like it's just
not gonna work and i just do the simple math like 300 times 72 months where are we now and that's
zero interest without tax like like you're not going to get
there um that latest thing that i linked you to is obama speaking at uh his alma mater i guess um
which one the lower one you would like to see the lower one is him saying his pet peeve is
successful people not realizing that they just got lucky and i did he actually say that because
this is the kind of a headline that
someone who just really hates Obama
would put on.
Oh, let's watch it together.
Are you guys ready?
I am. Ready, set, play.
And that means we have
to not only question the world as it is
and stand up
for those African Americans who haven't been so lucky. Because, yes,
you've worked hard, but you've also been lucky. That's a pet peeve of mine, people who've
been successful and don't realize they've been lucky.
That God may have blessed them.
It wasn't nothing you did.
So needlessly divisive.
Truth is somewhere in between.
But we must also expand our moral imaginations to understand and empathize with all people who are struggling.
Not just black folks who are struggling.
The refugee.
The immigrant.
The rural poor.
The transgender person.
And yes, the middle-aged white guy who you may think has all the advantages
but over the last several decades has seen his world upended by economic and cultural and technological change
and feels powerless to stop it.
You've got to get in his head too i lost track of what he was trying to say at some point there um you say that donald trump's coming and he's very afraid
all right i followed the whole you know my big pet peeve is people who got
lucky and don't realize there's something close to that um i don't like how immediately he made it into a race thing and then immediately from there made
it into a class thing like into a globalization thing almost it's kind of like i feel like he
can't stay on one topic he's so goddamn liberal he's just oozing liberal bullshit out of every fucking poor any kid.
I use a lot of liberal bullshit, too.
And transgenders, and Syrians.
Is there anybody else that we could say here?
The albinos.
It's just silly where it's like, you could have said that exact same thing in a more convincing way,
and a way that doesn't immediately ostracize certain segments of your audience.
But that's what he wanted.
doesn't immediately ostracize certain segments of your audience but that's what he wanted his entire presidency it seems like has been you know dividing people purposely inflammatory
being incendiary for the sake of dividing and you know making it an us first them thing and you know
every president's done that i'm sure i'm not old enough to talk to a bunch of presidents ago but
it's just i don't know i think that this is the first, the last eight years is when I've been old enough to really pay attention to it.
And so I'm much more critical of that and give leeway to Bush and whatnot.
Because I was, you know, Bush was elected in 2000 to 2008.
So I was like, you know, those are my formative years.
I wasn't paying attention to politics.
I have a different thing than Obama, right?
I feel like twice I've seen him say
you didn't build that.
Now you just got lucky.
My message, which in my
head is more motivational than
you poor soul.
Doesn't it suck to be you? What can you do about it?
My message is go do about
it. Go buy a pressure washer
and start your
enterprise go you know to do your thing how many people started YouTube channels
and quit after their fifth video right I like it's super common it's funny that
people will say like like he'll say like he'll be the first to warn about
generalizations and whatnot and then he's fine making sweeping ones about
everyone who started a business.
He'll backtrack a little bit.
He's never had one.
I don't like the message of, what are you going to do?
You didn't hit the lottery.
No, the message should be, you've got more opportunity than you think.
Try a thing.
Try a thing, whatever thing.
Some guy wrote me today, said he's 19 years old.
He's worth $70,000 because he mastered WordPress, which is kind of, you know how Squarespace,
they have that like system that helps you put together a page.
WordPress is like a similar type thing.
It's a content management system.
And he would just find customers and put together different WordPress templates and make websites for people and charge them for it.
Now he's worth 70000 in his late teens.
Anyone can do this stuff.
Anyone can do it.
It makes me feel really lazy sometimes
because I often see the opportunities,
but they require hard work.
Many times it's much harder.
You have to really work for those dollars.
Some dollars you don't have to work for as hard as others,
but some of those entrepreneur dollars
are very hard to get at. It's a lot of work that you have to put into and you have to work for as hard as others, but some of those entrepreneur dollars are very hard to get at.
It's a lot of work that you have to put into, and you have to be comfortable with failure or multiple failures to get there.
But if you just grind, you'll do well no matter what.
And there's no guarantees.
I strongly believe that.
I believe if you grind – and what I'm basing that on is because I don't believe that anything – I believe that I can do anything I want if I really want it.
I believe the more you grind, the better your odds. Oh yeah. Like, like, because, because we, it's not like
you have one shot. It's not like the timer's ticking down and the buzzer's going to go off.
If you fail, you just get back up and try again. You just keep shooting until you make the shot.
You only got to make it once. I don't, I don't get it. I don't, I hate that. I hate that from,
from him. I feel like what I would love to see
from our political leader, from our president, is just his inspiration. He should be up there
saying, look at this guy, right? He should be bringing up other graduates from Harvard.
This is Jim. Jim, tell them about your home life when you were a kid. Tell them about your mother.
Tell them about the hardships you had to went through. How many jobs did you work? Three?
How do you even work three at 18 years old?
Didn't you have to go to school? Oh, you did that?
You were the lunch lady. Holy shit.
I want to hear stories like that.
I always hear excuses
for bad parenting, too. That's another one that
frustrates me. Like, oh, this lower
income parent, they never paid
attention to the kid's work because, you know, she
had other concerns. Look,
and here's the spot like
i feel like i'm in this privileged thing because my wife stays at home but um like you know what
she should have worked and requested that her kids get good grades she should have worked and
read their report cards she should have worked and asked them if they got their homework done
my mother did that shit my mom my mom worked a full time job she taught so she was gone all day and and she did lesson plans until 4 or 5 p.m or 6
p.m at night every night but there wasn't a project that she wasn't involved on if i had a a big
project coming up something need to be built at home you know she's always right there next to
me you know she's helping me study she's helping me learn things like like whatever it takes
i feel like there's a kind of silent racism of low expectations amongst low-income parents.
I've heard that said before.
Yeah.
It's not original to me.
But this silent racism of low expectations.
Like, oh, yeah.
You know what?
It's not that she was lazy about the educational side of her duties as a parent.
It's that she was just working super hard
on that other stuff it's a condescending like paternalistic style of generally liberal racism
like i've heard it said the soft bigotry of low expectations kind of like you said okay where it's
like instead of you know saying you really need to buckle down and get this done like really this is
your result so far it's unacceptable I know you're better than this.
It's building in excuses for them
and being a whole, like, pat on the head,
like, treating, just condescending,
where it's like, oh, you know, you tried real good,
but we all know your expectations.
We all know what you're capable of,
and, you know, we're not holding you to that standard.
It just doesn't, I don't know,
it leaves a bad taste in your mouth
because it comes off as so disingenuous.
And you just know that there are a ton of people out there, a ton of black people, I don't know, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth because it comes off as so disingenuous.
And you just know that there are a ton of people out there, a ton of black people,
Mexican people, whatever minority,
who really get pissed off and feel
angry like, hey, hey, hey, white guy,
white girl,
I don't need you talking for me.
I can handle this shit. I don't need you
telling everybody else to go easy on me.
I know that's what I would do. If there was
an Asian politician out there talking about
the hardships of the white man and all the
things that I had to go through to get where
I'd be like, stop fucking doing that.
Just let me do my own fucking thing. I would hate that.
I'd hate that so much to have someone in the background.
What if someone went out there
what if
white kids
test scores were
low by a standard deviation or something.
They were really low, much lower than everyone else's.
It'd be a huge success story on MSNBC.
Right? And the Asian politician
goes out there and he says,
well, we really need to cut
these white kids some slack. I mean, inherently,
they have disabilities. I mean, you clearly look at
this and that in their home life, and you'd be like,
whoa, that's so fucking racist. Don't fucking
say that about me. I wasn't trying hard enough i was lazy i'm sorry boss i'll work
harder next time because that's always the answer if you're doing bad at something you're not trying
hard enough yeah and i'll i can admit that not everyone's equal i i still love taylor's like
spider web of skill trees right you know but most people have an area that they can succeed in and thrive if they step up
their grind skill tree. And yeah, that's where my thing is. My problem with what Obama was saying
there is I just feel like it wasn't inspirational enough. I like what Kyle's doing, grabbing some
guy and saying, look how he got it done. I like what Kyle's brother-in-law did, where he stepped
up like that. I like what this guy who built the WordPress websites did. I like what Kyle's brother-in-law did, you know, where he stepped up like that. I like
what this guy who built the WordPress websites did. I like the guys who were like, you know what,
like I did a thing. This is the success I had in it. And you know, I built this out of nothing.
Now, not out of nothing. We all know there's an infrastructure that helps all of us do our thing,
but some people stand on the shoulders of giants and reach new heights and other people just mingle in and say well this sucks trump's dad gave him
that much money so he didn't really do anything and uh it's like dude how did trump stop you
from buying a pressure washer like what he's not holding you back. Just launch it, baby.
And that million dollars that Trump got,
I would love to see what...
How much more?
I always heard...
Are you talking about the inheritance or the loan?
There were other loans that he doesn't cop to.
One in particular,
I think I mentioned on the show before,
his father bought...
I'm going to get this figure wrong.
Is it $9 million worth of poker chips and just put them in his pocket
as sort of a way to do a loan to keep that thing afloat?
And there might have been another instance too.
That would be some tax implications with that.
It turns out the poker chip thing was illegal and they lost in court.
I don't know why personally.
To me it seems like a valid way to give someone a loan but it turned out that wasn't okay i think he needs to
pay taxes on those gambling winnings i don't know i don't know uh but uh um there were other successful
guy by like you know like like all right if my dad gave me 10 million dollars i still wouldn't
have 10 billion and neither does he but make it 4 billion he did really well and the other thing is If my dad gave me $10 million, I still wouldn't have $10 billion.
And neither does he, but make it $4 billion.
He did really well.
And the other thing is every most small business or business owner initially takes out a loan, right?
Whether it's $150,000, whether you're taking...
I don't like that.
I personally like the bootstrap idea where you build with what you've got.
Well, it depends on the business.
What if you have, and I'm going to make
up a business real quick.
Let's just say you're going into the food industry.
You're going to open a restaurant.
You've got this chef. You've got Bobby
Flay here, and he's undiscovered. He's your
cousin. He's the guy.
You know that if you can just get Bobby behind that
grill, it's going to go gangbusters.
You're going to be really successful, but you need
$150,000 to get things kick-started
off. So most
businesses start that way, I feel like.
At some point, they go ground,
you know,
they start small, and then
they get to a point, but at a certain point, you're like,
we need $100,000 to move forward.
At some point, you probably need a loan.
So Trump,
there's a lot of stuff that bothers me about trump but those things are rarely uh pointed at or talked about by the media like the loan stuff just doesn't bother me they're like can
you believe that that that he started with 15 million dollars well how much does he have now
well conservatively two and a half billion. Hmm. That's pretty good.
Let's give him some more money.
If I gave you $15 and you turned it into $2,500,
I'd be impressed.
Yeah.
Real hot streak there, Kyle.
What'd you do?
That's just what I do.
Fell ass backward into it.
I didn't build it.
Yeah.
Anyway, Kyle, so I think you have one more chance
to redeem yourself.
I think before we close the show out, we just wanted to
again mention Total War Warhammer.
Very cool game.
We thank them again for sponsoring our show.
Check them out. All the sponsors are
linked down below in the description.
I think that's it.
