Painkiller Already - Painkiller Already #311

Episode Date: December 9, 2016

This week on PKA, Richard Ryan from Rated RR is back the guys all talk about what their dream jobs would be, some crazy hot air ballon antics & rock walling, the latest drama in the UFC going down and VR horror games.

You know, that wasn't bad. Yeah, I think it started with We're Live. I'm not sure, but anyway, PKA episode 311 with our guest Richard Ryan, Kyle. Several sponsors tonight, Lyft, of course, Casper, Zip Recruiter, MeUndies, and a brand new one, Stance Socks, that we'll talk about later on. I've been liking Stance Socks a lot. Did you get free socks you've been talking my ear off about? you've been talking my ear off about. They're very nice socks. I'm digging them a lot. I don't have a pair on right now.

I'm barefoot. But they're on the watch. But they're very, very nice socks. I used to get all the PKA swag. Like, I got a case of wet platinum, and we're almost through it, by the way. I started complaining. Now I get none. Now I'm like, I don't know what these socks are like.

I want to know. It all goes to Kyle now. I don't remember what it was that you got all of one time. I was like, well, shit, I didn't get anything. I was like, throw me the next one. And then the next one didn't go through. They were supposed to give us credit online on their website, and I just never got the credit.

I was like, ah, you promised, but I never even got this. So when the socks came around, they came to Kyle first. Didn't Woody get all the stuff from the wine sponsor, being the only guy on this podcast who wouldn't drink any wine at all. If Kyle got a bunch of free wine, he wouldn't sit there and be like, oh, I love this wine. But I guarantee you'd try some and you'd be like, hey, you know what? This goes well with this dish that I cooked or whatever.

But Woody's like, oh, no, no, no. There's a lot of lemonade in the fridge. That's an emergency. We desperately need calories and we're freezing to death in the winter and the grid goes down. That wine came up big on the drinking episode though, right? Because I ran right through the moonshine and then I had to break out the wine. Speaking of which, are we recording?

Yes, although I'm glad you asked. Yeah, yeah. Oh, I am so like conscious about that now. Anyway, Richard Ryan, what the heck is new with you? I know. It's just funny. I love listening to you guys talk about sponsors because I was thinking about it. I was like, should I bring it up before we go on?

Because it's like every single time I come on here, I end up using one of your coupon codes or whatever. So I did that with the mattress. I did that with something else. I think it was food. I don't know if it was Blue Apron or like a snack thing or something. Nature Box, probably. Nature Box. that's it. I'm like,

what interesting things are we going to have today? Socks. Maybe a job. If they have wool socks, I will guarantee that I will probably end up doing that. I need better socks. Well, we're going to talk about that later on. You'll see in the ad read.

There's a little special thing for me and you, Woody. So we'll definitely get to that. I think this is the first episode in which I've shaved. I don't like it. I really like the beard. I felt like I was... Oh, there's no bad, Woody. You know what?

It was subconscious. I didn't put the things together. But when I looked at your face when I got on the call, I was just like, I just don't care for this guy as much as I thought I did. You know what? I thought he was some sort of rugged mountain man. Dude, my wife has had the opposite response. It's subconscious. She's actually

nicer to me when I shave. She's more huggy. There's more inappropriate touching, which is one of my favorite things. She's very manipulative. She's just hugging on me and being nicer to me. And like she just likes me more when I'm shaving. And it's to my advantage to be shaven even though –

Women are so fucking clever with that kind of like training and reinforcement that like I get sucked into it sometimes where I don't notice it. When it's like I just – you know when you come home and you just feel like you have to have your hands busy and so you're just searching for shit. Like, oh, there's some dirty dishes. Like, I'm going to get all this done. There's some laundry. I'm going to do that. And you end up doing all that.

And then your girl comes home or sees it later and is like, oh my God, you did this. I was so worried about having to do it at work. And then 40 minutes later, you're getting blown. And you're like, oh, I'm being trained. I'm being trained to think that if I do all the chores, I'll get a blowjob. I'll just be waiting at the door like a puppy.

This is exactly how we taught the dog to ring the bell before he pissed. And you know what you do? Exactly, Kyle. You know what you do with that dog? The first few times that it rings the bell to go piss, you give it a treat. What do you do the 900th time it does it?

Fucking nothing. You're cashing in all of your chore time for a couple of beaches in the short term. I don't know. It's not what you want. This is a good trade, I think. I'm really happy with the arrangement thus far. Since I've shaved, things have been way better for me.

So I don't see myself all the time, but I'm looking at me right now, and I wish I had a giant beard, but, you know, you get what you get. Yeah, Melissa likes mine. I don't like not having any facial hair too big of a head it's it's startlingly round you know if you saw me in person you wouldn't you wouldn't want that it's unpleasant i'm different people hate behind me in the movies and i'm not even extraordinarily tall you struggle at paintball because of it struggling paintball i catch a lot of headshots

always giving our physician away. He'd pop his head up. They'd all see it. There they are. Hey, where's the rest of the troop? Oh, it's near the guy with the big head. He's like an Elmo head. Yeah, it is.

Richard, I was watching people do the wingsuit flying. You've seen that, I'm sure, with the jets on the side. A few times. Yeah, a few times. I don't believe you. Which time, what video were you watching? This particular one was in Dubai and to my surprise it seemed like there were six or eight pilots in it as opposed to the usual one or two. It was recent I think.

And anyway, people do this stuff to me. They're like, hey Woody, here's something extreme and tangentially related to something you do. Why don't you do that next? But you're actually a wingsuit pilot. This seems like strapping on some fiberglass wings is next step-ish. Have you thought about it? What does it take? Can you buy those?

It's so expensive. Yeah? I'm sorry. I just wanted to clarify for those of us who aren't as into this scene, is this different than what you were talking... We watched a video of you last time where you had the suit on, like the flying squirrel suit. Is it that thing, or is it the wingsuit?

Okay, so the squirrel suit is the typical wingsuit, right? Because it's a fabric that pressurizes and fills with air whenever you're falling or flying it. A lot of the stuff that happens in Dubai, the rigid wing stuff where it's a carbon fiber thing, has small jet engines on them. Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, those are so sick. So sick. You become the rocketeer.

Can we watch this together? Please, yes. Maybe if we just mute it and have it like so people know what we're talking about. I like that better. When I first saw this video of the guys in Dubai flying around, I was like, oh, my God. This is like the Rocketeer. That corny movie from my childhood days. They really made the Rocketeer suit.

All right. So on three, 2, 1, play, and then we'll talk about it? Yeah. 3, 2, 1, play. Alright. Alpha Jetman. Human flight and beyond 4K. Am I the only one who wants to see this weaponized? Like, I want to see some sort of, like, crazy

elite commando force flying in with these. It's funny to me that that is Kyle's... If that were a good idea, they would have already done these. It's funny to me that that is Kyle's... If that were a good idea, they would have already done it. That's Kyle's default response to a lot of things. Like, oh, did you get a styrofoam remote-controlled airplane? What kind of weapons can we put on that thing? Like, oh, a paramotor.

You really need to strap some guns to that puppy. Oh, snap. I haven't seen this one. That's neat that you're flying around, but what if we get into a Red October-style scenario? How will we storm the Russian base? I like Kyle's questions on it. How far are these just regular jets, as far

as I can tell? Hang in there. I promise you, it'll get interesting. That is sick. So they're going to do a flock. A flock? Yeah. They're clearly flocking, Woody. I haven't seen this. Is that the term for formation flying?

Yeah. Yeah, a group of pilots flying together is like flocking. It should be called a murder. It's so crazy. The guy in the red suit as he's flying with this thing on his back does not look confident in his back wing suit. The guy in the yellow, he has his arms back like a superhero. The guy in the red's kind of like oh, it wasn't worth $600 to do

this. I shouldn't have taken that bet. Look at him. He looks so uncomfortable. Every now and then I get a good look at the engine. I'm so interested in that technology. I want to see it up close and know more about it. What's the range on this? How fast is it going right now? Is that something you know? The range or speed? You know, I don't know the range. I know, so one of my buddies has like one of the

only legitimate rocket packs. So the ones that are capable of vertical takeoff, flight, and landing? Yeah, exactly. And they've been perfecting that for the last, like, 20 years or whatever. He's flown over, like, the Sydney Harbor and a bunch of other things. But he was telling me those engines are, like, $100,000 a pop. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking when I'm looking at them.

I'm like, that's so small. That's got to be crazy expensive. Because who else is using that tiny jet engine? It's only for this, I bet. Yeah. I can't speak to those specifically. But he had to source his engines from, I believe, the Czech Republic. And he was telling me they're over $100,000 a piece.

What was their original purpose? So the guy who helped, uh, engineer it with him, um, he does a bunch of avionic, uh, engineering, um, like helicopter mounts for the film industry, um, weaponizing them, stabilized, gimbaled payloads and stuff like that. And so he just started it as a pet project with this other investor and uh created actually i think they even have like a um a thing on their website now

where you can go like sign up with your email and you get a chance to fly it they're just trying to get wait wait they let regular people fly it not not right now it'd be like a tethered flight not not right now it'd be like a tethered flight um but they're they're trying to raise awareness for it um yeah i'll find out tether me yeah what are you tethered to who cares like another no i don't know it's a jet pack so i don't know so those things are more to something else in the air and you start falling, then you're just being dragged behind a plane, right? Which delays death. I don't think you get that high off the ground.

It delays death, which is the goal, right? It would delay death. Of all the flying stuff I've seen, that is the coolest by far of all the like on your back doing that. Like if only because because I'm sure that those regular planes were in like they're idling through a parking lot speed but the fact that those guys were going the same speed as that it's incredible like I can't imagine how anxious and straddling there's no way you're having fun there how could you do that while without being so scared like

it I did not be fun okay okay it's fun let me just lay that out yeah i'm sure it's a great time i i would say for you like it for well it depends on like how how well you act under stress but like what do you you probably have a really good idea of like the very first time you went um paramotoring um it takes time to develop that faith in your equipment it's just like riding a motorcycle actually that's the best analogy i can give for people who've never done like a skydiving type of sport or canopy related sport is that when you drive a motorcycle the first time the normal people don't go hey i'm just gonna go do a willy down the road going 100 miles per hour it takes time to build up that faith and the profile of the tire and being able to, you know,

trust that you're going to go into a corner and it's going to do its thing whenever you lean and not steer because it seems somewhat counterintuitive. And I would say it'd be the same thing with that. It's a different way of flying on a rigid wing than it would be with a fabric wing or a, you know, a canopy or something along those lines. And it just takes those small steps in the learning curve to develop that and then you start having more fun. But I mean, watching that, I mean, they're jumping with tandem parachutes or canopies on their back. So I mean, when they deploy, they're throwing a big old wing out into the wind and everything to catch that.

Because they're so heavy, right? That's why they're using a tanning chute, I guess. You mentioned the motorcycle thing. When I first learned to ride a motorcycle, people don't know I've rode motorcycles for years. There was a time when I didn't have a car. And I was kind of fearless and fine on a motorcycle. But on a paramotor, I was terrified.

Like, it took me a while to even make good decisions, like, when things went wrong and stuff. Like, I felt like I was disappointed in myself, you know? That my gut instincts weren't always clear-headed and wonderful like they had been on other things that I've done. And, I don't know. You know, I saw your, what do you call it, the paravlog? Yeah, I call them that sometimes. Still working on the naming. I was like, oh, Jesus, did Woody get hurt?

Oh, my God, I didn't get that. Hello, this is Woody's Gamer Tag. I will no longer be able to show you all of my fun adventures. I was reckless with my flying machine and I cannot use my legs or my arms. I will show you all of my adventures, possible through

technology and the use of my tongue. No, I saw that. You could definitely see an ease about you compared to when you first were going, right? So there is that

trust that you have in your equipment now that it's going to respond in a certain way whenever you use it, and you can kind of rely on that and, I don't't know focus on other things in that sense and um you know what's crazy is is i feel i don't know if somewhere in the vlog or something you were you were talking about safety and and one of the decisions you were going to make on either your takeoff or how you were going to approach or something and and i will say this just as someone who's got a buttload of skydives or wingsuit flights in the last couple of years,

I'm probably not nowhere near a lot of pros or instructors out there, but I've got close to 1,000 in a few years. And I will say that after like 50 jumps, I was probably the safest I've ever been because you're still so scared, but you're developing that trust in your equipment where you're not going to panic. Well, you may not panic anyways, but you're always checking your gear. You're checking your safety.

You're checking this. You're checking that. So when you were talking about how you didn't like how your lines were set, I was like, oh, good for you good for you that's awesome because i think the the biggest pitfall that you see guys in any any sport that has fairly significant consequences is is is complacency is like the the the biggest the biggest killer if not anything else. I mean, people just get so complacent in their ways, and they're like, oh, well, you know what?

My parachute's going to open. I'm just going to jump out. And they never did a check or something. There are so many YouTube videos of guys pitching, and there's no pilot shoot. They go to reach back, and there's like, oh, oh, there's no, I forgot to put my pilot shoot they go to reach back and there's like oh oh there's no there's no i forgot to put my pilot shoot on i'm like wait how do you forget how do you forget what does that mean that if something went wrong they just fall to their death they probably have a reserve so so you go through your emergency procedures so there's's a few things. Some guys, like if you're on a base jump,

some guys have like pitched and there wasn't like a pilot shoot on there. And what does he notice? So that pitching is just when you grab your hacky and you throw it, that's pitching your pilot shoot or the smaller parachute into the wind. So it opens up the bigger parachute

or your canopy out of the container. On a base jump, you only have one, so if you reach back there and there's nothing there, you need to grab whatever you can and pull that pin so the main one comes out. The pilot chute is like a small

hand-sized thing that just pulls the rest of it out of the backpack. Pretty much. Base ones are a lot bigger because hand-sized thing that just pulls the rest of it out of the backpack okay it's pretty much pretty much uh base base ones are a lot bigger um because it opens faster uh but on a skydiving scenario if that were to happen you probably wouldn't screw with that you go to your emergency procedures and you would cut away your main parachute, you'd pull red and then it's like, look, look red, pull red, look silver, pull silver. So it's just cutting away your, your main canopy so that there's no chance of two parachutes being out and getting tangled up or splitting apart and

you're going straight to the ground. And then it, it, it deploys your reserve parachute. So you just go through those emergency procedures, but you have to have that kind of awareness about it and not just oh okay i'm gonna pitch you know if if people who get set in their ways and they're like okay it's it's open 700 times before it's going to open up this time and then they know that and it's like oh nothing's happening nothing's happening you just lost 2 000 feet you know it's like you gotta really nothing's happening. Nothing's happening. You just lost 2,000 feet. It's like you got to really always be. I almost don't like this question when people ask me, but what's next for you? Is there something after wingsuiting? Are you going to go proximity, or have you decided that that's just dangerous and not for smart people?

You're pretty much astronaut adjacent at this point. Right. Not much else you can go to. adjacent at this point right not not much else you can go to i i wouldn't i wouldn't throw base jumping off the table um but it's not something that really really really drives me um it i never say never because i never wanted to get into skydiving i just i was terrified of heights and i just don't don't like it it's weird because i never had was terrified of heights and I just don't like it. It's weird because I never had that perception of heights whenever I'm skydiving. And even when I'm landing, I'm looking at the horizon. So I'm never actually looking down at that 100 foot mark that really kind of

gives you the perception of falling. And I'm already moving forward. So it's like I never really get that sense of falling except for balloon jumps. Balloon jumps, I'm like – my mouth is like dry. My hands are sweating. And every single time I jump, it's like three, two, one. Have you seen balloon rock crawling? Yeah. Oh, my sweat looks so sweaty. Oh, my God.

If I could skydive, that would be the target that I'd work towards. So if people haven't seen this, and maybe I can find a video of that too. There's a balloon, right? A hot air balloon that we've all seen. And then below the basket, they hang what looked like indoor rock climbing walls, right? With little grips and stuff. And people just go kind of bouldering under a hot air balloon, looking like, I'll make up a number, 2000 feet down, 4000 feet down until they either jump or lose their grip and then parachute home. It's the sweaty, palmiest thing I may have ever seen. That sounds – if they told me, hey, you have to spend a week in Oz or we're going to put you on this hanging death contraption where you have to have sweaty palms and try and slippery hold on to it.

And then eventually they'll be like, you have to jump because we can't land with you on there and I'll be like fuck you figure it out like get me down to like 15 feet and then I'll jump. It's all the same. It's stressful. I don't like how you're shaking you loose. Can we watch this one? I like what we did before where we just kind of mute it and talk. Yeah. Yeah.

Are you guys ready? I am. Oh, hold on. I got an advertisement. Okay. I don't have that ad block on. No, neither do I. It's called GoPro Awards World's Highest Rock Climbing Wall.

If you guys haven't been to the GoPro channel, they have some really, really cool stuff over there. They do. Are you ready? Ready, set, play. Yeah, I tried to get sponsored back by GoPro. I was kind of at the peak of my popularity at the time, and GoPro was new, and my friend knew the owner of it.

A guy I worked with at Cisco was like old high school friends with the guy that founded GoPro. And he actually gave us GoPro units before they were for sale. We like put them on our surfboards and did new things. The reason the surfing kit comes with that like condensation pad is because of the problems we had in the Dominican Republic. We were like, this thing's getting foggy. So they just added those strips and solved it. Anyway, I was like, yeah, you know, why don't I do a deal with you guys?

I'll, like, pimp your product and you can give me more cameras or whatever. And they're like, yeah, Woody, you're adorable and everything. We don't really have a problem getting our name out. You know, everybody wants to use these things. So all I ever did is get a free camera maybe. This is terrifying. This is an awful idea. I don't like it.

We've gone too far with science and technology If we have this much free time yeah, he sees look at that This is safe though. I believe you Being there makes me nervous. I know I don't like that would cause trouble At its core it's not safe. It's a guy climbing in the middle of the sky with a piece of fabric on his back that he is really banking on. He has some nice handholds. It's like a halo forge when you would make a platform just in the middle of the sky and he's on it. Those are like the beginner trail handholds at the indoor rallies.

I get anxious going halfway up the one at Dick's Sporting Guns. Look at this. He's hanging from his feet. You spiteful dick. What are you doing? Look at him? He doesn't care. Oh, oh, there's a paramotors flying around What if you fall into one of those guys I'm told that if a paramotor flies over a hot air balloon It's like instant collapse and problems like oh like it's a whole it's like instant collapse and problems like a whole

series of bad events goes wrong as you fall into the hot air balloon and yeah I'm told it's a big mistake Christ almighty what I didn't catch was like there was a guy above him on the platform who didn't seem to have a parachute he just seemed to be tethered

like how does he get back in the balloon yeah well how does he get down I think he like flambers down like he just doesn't give a fuck How does he get back in the balloon? Yeah, well, how does he get down? I think he like flambers down like he just doesn't give a fuck. I hope he had a parachute. Yeah, I think he shimmies. Like I don't know if you've ever seen that video like that ONA was like looking at of the guy changing the light bulb on one of those crazy crazy fucking radar radio towers And when you get to the end of this job, there's no more ladder

fucking radio towers. And when you get to the end of this job, there's no more ladder. First of all, the ladder then turns into a pipe with rungs sticking out of it. It's not even a ladder anymore. It's those one-handed rungs. And then you get to the top of that, you just shimmy a little.

Like, it's not, you know, if it were six feet off the ground, we'd all be like, yeah, get right up there. But it's not. It's like 1,500 feet off the ground. So he's got a shimmy. And the whole way up, he's carabinering on everywhere he can. But it's bullshit. I would not want that.

The carabiners that he's using, it's like 1,800, 1,700 feet tall. And the guy reading it, the documentary narrating, is talking about it like he's telling you how paint dries. documentary narrating is is talking about it like you are like he's telling you how paint dries he's like you know richard has a busy day ahead of him today as he begins his summit to the top and then like you keep watching and you're like all right it has to be near the top because you're running out of shit to grab and then you get to what you think is the top because it's just a spire with little tiny wiry handholds going up and all right this is where they put the thing and it's like only 60 feet more to the top. It's like, what?

So now you're going to climb this thing? Like you're swaying in the wind. And the carabiners, like Kyle was saying, there are not carabiner holds. It is just, you know those hooks that like people who work on electrical poles will stand on? It's just that. And they take a giant carabiner the size of my head

and then just kind of lazily put it on top of it. That's what got me too. You don't fall exactly straight down. That does nothing for you. The carabiner is like the size of my face. Well, I'm exaggerating a bit, but like eyes to mouth. It's way too big. Yeah, and then it clicks on.

I'm going to call it a three-quarter inch thick rod that goes sideways with a little hook that goes up at the end. I linked it there, Woody. He's so fucking high. He is so fucking high at the end. I'll start it back at zero. Yeah, let's start it at zero. I just wanted to verify this was the correct video. And we don't have to listen to the sound because this guy is not very excited.

There's no relevant audio. Richard, are you ready? Where are you going? Is six minutes in or something like that? Six, 40 in? Do you want to go that far in? Let's start from the beginning. Okay.

All right. Ready, set, play. Yeah, so if this is the one I'm thinking of, I could be wrong. There's two of them but one of them involves not using the carabiner a lot and the guy says something like hey you know osha regulations don't require you to use the carabiner this is called free climbing they found that using the carabiner every step is uh i don't know too much of a pain in the butt the thing is it's not and osha regulations do require to use the carabiner every

step and those guys got fired and there's like rebuttal videos to i think this video where uh they're like this is how you're actually supposed to climb it that dangerous fuck like not strapped in most of the way did it wrong and uh the whole beginning of this video for those of you just listening to audio it does that thing like when you watch a video about stars sizes where they're like this is the sun and then this one's like a billion times bigger you know isn't the universe grand like it did that thing where it showed like a pretty tall building and then another pretty tall one and then up to the empire state building in the sears tower and then to the left on the graphic is this thing and it's so tiny that it is almost literally a line

drawn. Because if you put it next to actual buildings, it's just a spire. There's no actual girthiness. It's a thread into the sky. It seems like Jack climbing the fucking beanstalk up the sky. So because this dude's going to be climbing for a few minutes, can I tell you a really quick story? Yeah.

Real quick. So I work construction in LA for, uh, about four years, three, four years, and we built a 28 story high rise, uh, next to the Staples center. And so your tower cranes have to go say 35, 37, uh, stories up in the air. Uh, so it can clear and cable and all that other stuff for all the materials. And I was just buddy buddies with everybody out there. And they're like, hey, since I was the labor foreman, I would just put people on different jobs there and everything or help out where it was needed. And one of the guys was like, hey, can you help me on the crane?

I was like, sure, what do you need and uh he's like i need you to help me uh lube the cables and everything so i need you to go out on the on the boom i need you to come up to the the the tower actually i have a video of it somewhere i'm gonna find it i'm gonna find it uh and and so i climb up there, right, like these freaking 35 stories, and I am gassed getting up there. Are you strapped in or anything or just walking up there? I was just climbing up it, right? And just like this dude here, like up that ladder and everything,

I'm just free climbing it all the way up and everything. And I go up there. I help him get the grease on and everything and uh and i go up there i help him you know get the grease on the cables and and all that other stuff because he has to move the the crane while i'm out on the jib or uh the boom to be able to to get the cables going and stuff and then when we get back down on the ground and everything he's like where's your harness and i was like what do you mean you told me to come up and dude i about passed out like i was on the ground i about passed out he's like no you see that cable that cable that goes up the

ladder is where you hook your your carabiner and clutch brake on so whenever you fall it slides a little bit and it gives just enough so it's not a blunt force trauma and keeps you from falling and I was like your balls are bigger than your brains I didn't enjoy it I just didn't want to get fired because I was making money from construction

good god he's getting to a part now where they're just... He's still not tying in. This part right here. He doesn't... There's no handholds at this point. It's just a pillar into the sky. Like, I thought...

You would think that these things, they would give them like a ladder or something. Nothing like it. Nothing like a ladder. Oh, God, it's so bad. That's it. Taylor said it perfect. You would think there'd be a ladder built into the side of bad that's it taylor said it perfect you would think there'd be a ladder built into the side of this thing that someone would climb all the way up

and even that's kind of exhausting and sketchy and whatever this guy is not hooked in he rarely hooks in you know you're supposed to like put your hand on it almost every they're like big nails this is the size of a it looks looks like giant nails or like railroad ties, thin railroad ties hammered into the side of what has the same girth as a stop sign. It's just a stop sign with a bunch of nails in the side. And you know what else?

I bet that he's experiencing a lot of swaying. I bet he can feel this thing. This thing's moving a lot to be this tall and he's feeling every bit of it. You think the tower's swaying? At that altitude, there's always wind. Yeah, that thing's swaying a lot.

I got up on top of a small tower in Tennessee one time, and just feeling a few inches of sway is really unnerving. I can't imagine. This is so scary. You can call bullshit all it is, but OSHA does have certain regulations, I can't imagine this is so scary. It was just called bullshit on it, but So OSHA does have certain regulations not maybe The the tower stuff but

Some of the guys I was talking to whenever we were working construction after that whole crane incident when we'd lay rebar for different floors like whenever i put slab grabbers out on the edge of the so when you lay a concrete floor like or level um you have to go out to the edge and put these things called slab grabbers on right so it's like a c clamp that goes down on the edge of the concrete and then it has a arm that goes up that you put two by fours through so it's a a fence that ends up going around so people don't fall off, but you have to wear this harness. So in case you fall, um, you know, that, that saves you. But some of the guys for certain jobs, OSHA says that they don't have to have those harnesses on because they can cause more of a trip hazard or something along those lines where it gets in the way where it caused more people to fall than it actually prevented people from dying or whatever but i don't know what the

stipulations are but it was something that i was like no no way it was like those dudes on those steel beams that's exactly what it was like the empire state building like those those old photos those beam workers once they get up there and start working, they don't have to have that stuff. Those old pictures of those guys, like, sitting, enjoying some bullshit 1931 sandwich, sitting on a big horizontal post in the middle of the air, some I-beam, that's, those stress me out just to look at. It's like, that guy's life isn't even good enough that he's like, I'm not even going to strap in. What if, what happens if I fall off? I have to work another 18-hour shift, half a mile in the air tomorrow to feed my kids a couple of shitty old soft potatoes? Fuck you.

I'm just going to enjoy this sandwich and live and let live. Maybe I'd fall off. I was next to a tower. I don't know if it was this tall, but it was really tall. It seems like it'd be in the class of one of these things flying around like 10 days ago. I was like, I'm going to fly next to this thing. I want to see it up close.

And as I get closer to it, there are these wires coming from the side. Like, dude, guide wires are nearly invisible from the sky. You forgot about the guide wires? I didn't know about the guide wires. As soon as you started talking about flying near it,

I was like, but what about the guide wires? I missed guide wire class. I don't know when everyone else learned about these things, but I just got close enough. I saw the wires and I was like, no, no the guide wire? Oh, no. I missed guide wire class. I don't know when everyone else learned about these things, but I just got close enough. I saw the wires, and I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is a huge mistake. I'm out of here. I've hunted on property that had towers like that.

They're usually on cheap, big parcels of land like that. And those wires are everywhere. Even on a small one that's just a few hundred feet, there's just a spider web of wires around those things. There's not nearly enough in this video. If I were this guy, I would want an entire, almost like a teepee of wires coming down, knowing that that thing's not anywhere.

All right, for you to do this job, how much can it pay? Like, what does this job pay that you couldn't find a job that pays? He didn't make $6 million that day that it's not worth it. If he made enough to retire on and put his kids through a decent college. We better be getting $10,000 per step to climb that motherfucker. Because that is outrageous. This guy shouldn't be worried about car insurance. And I bet he probably is.

I feel like I would really enjoy that job. Like being outside, climbing around on towers. I'm not saying I'm fearless. Just that I could get over it and really like it like i i think there'd be days where i'm up top replacing that little light bulb being like man like this is a million dollar view right here this is i've got the coolest job in the world i take it over a cube you want to watch richard's video here looks like he's got it it's not it's not that impressive it's just you can see how old I was when I was working construction.

I like this. You look young. 40 seconds. All right. Ready, set, play. Young Richard with no beard. Should we listen to the audio? Nah.

You just see how high up we are. You can tell that Richard goes like fucking shit or something, I think. I don't have the audio on. The first 20 second video has the you can see how high it is. I'm not seeing how high it is. There's two videos. The first one. Oh.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's just high enough that in the middle of the fall you'll realize you're going to die. So we were doing a Carhartt shoot that day. That's why all of us were out there on the boom for that die. So we were doing a Carhartt shoot that day. That's why all of us were out there on the boom for that one. So if you go through some of the Carhartt catalogs, you see the guys up on those rebar towers

hanging off the side of the building and everything. It's me. Dude, all bullshit aside, Carhartt makes some good clothes, don't they? Yeah. Carhartt sponsors us. We'll talk you up big. My grandpa fucking loves Carhartt stuff.

All those waiters are Carhartt. Carhartt's like a uniform for a certain group of people. You know? Like rednecks? Not necessarily rednecks but like uh people who work with their hands yeah blue collar people who work with their hands that's definitely

uh sort of a uniform for them especially the jackets i remember in high school like there was definitely a class of guys certain guys had their letterman jackets but then there was an equally large group of guys with those carhartt jackets on too and there's the one guy with like the bootleg carhartt jacket everybody's making fun of him and you can tell who like the fakers are because like if you hang around i'm sure kyle knows and so does woody from being around people who farm like if you see a real farmer in that stuff you can tell because their hands are three times as big as a normal person that age my grandpa can't put his own hearing aids in or get them out because his his hands are enormous is it just like muscle what is that phenomenon it's just i think it's just

muscle and calluses and just like when you spend 65 years working on a farm with machinery every day and you know you only could afford a tractor 30 years ago but there was a lot of time where you were bailing it's not just calluses like the back of their the back of my hand is a city slickers hand right do you see like veins and tendons and shit on a farmer this whole thing just doubles in mass it's it's it's you don't yeah you don't see the like if someone works out a lot you see like the the vascularity in their hands people like farmers don't have that it's just like yeah see the vascularity in their hands. Farmers don't have that. It's just like, yeah, the vascularity, it looks nice, but you're just a utilitarian tool.

So we're just going to make this into a big gorilla mitt, and you can get what you need done. I was on the rfarming subreddit. I'm on that subreddit sometimes because I think farming is interesting. And there's this guy who's a mechanical engineer and he was showing his hands next to his brother who was a farmer and oh my god the farmer like i don't even know they must not be able to buy gloves everywhere like extra large doesn't cut it for those hands like you know how shack has to have custom built shoes this would be the equivalent of a size 16 shoe like something you just don't find all the time.

They've got like Brock Lesnar hands. Yes! And then like a big beer belly. But it's not like if they had their shirt off and they walk. It's like a jiggly fat. It's like you walk around and it's like if I hit that it's going to feel like I'm hitting like a piece of like wood.

I can wrap my knuckles on that like it's just i don't know it's a very interesting body type uh farmer body the uh i don't know have you ever like pregnant bellies are hard too when i like before we had any babies whale on them i hadn't really touched i don't think any pregnant bellies before. Jackie had one. And it's just like, that shit's harder than you'd guess. It's not a big, flabby, cuddly thing. It's hard, pregnant bellies.

I think that's more hard because it's just so much stuff being pushed to the front. If you ever watch those graphics where it's like, this is what happens to a woman's organs when she has a baby. It's like, that's fucking horrifying. It's just liquid tightly wrapped with stretched human skin. It's what you got in there. Care for that. That is cool though. It makes you wonder, all those organs are in there

and only when they're pregnant are they like, oh, we can still work in like a fifth of this space fine like whatever like i mean they i want to get back to the titty milk i want to see what richard ryan thinks about this because we found um we found this website that that sells breast milk and i thought that we should uh we should all drink the breast milk. And Taylor here is just completely anti-drinking the breast milk. It's a real drag. I'm very anti-drinking any stranger's bodily fluid.

I had a different issue. My wife considered it a form of cheating. She didn't think I should be drinking some other woman's breast milk. In the same way that, like, I don't know, if your girlfriend bought some packaged cum and drank that would you be like that's that's Not the intended purpose of come though. Yeah, it is in my book That's great for you It don't even think she doesn't even have to invoke

I don't even know why V would invoke that's almost cheating argument when the only argument should be, Woody, that's a stranger's bodily fluid that you're going to buy off the internet. Are you okay with that? And you should be like, ah, no, probably not. It's for babies. It's for drinking.

I bet it's delicious and good for you. Delicious and nutritious. First of all, this stuff is like $250 or something to get enough for all of us anyway it's very expensive it's not cheap stuff you know i mean it's not like we're milking a goat here right like someone's taking time out of their day to make this happen and but so i'm thinking what if we see some health benefits from this what if all of a sudden we start feeling more youthful more stronger fitter what's funny the website though just advertises fat kids they're like all you want some breast milk check out how fucking fat my kid is do you want your kid to be as fucking fat as this one

here before and after pictures on there let me work it out my bitch press went up 35 pounds in four weeks. But in addition to that. I've never been in my life on this. And I'm like guzzling. But you've also got like a six-year-old, a six-month-old like round gut. Like, yeah. Yeah, I want to see you drinking it. But like the way that they drink Gatorade in sports commercials. Where it's just glug, glug, glug.

Huge gulps. Trying to get as much down as possible. I put the little baby nipple on it But then like workout super hard Do you think no? I see more with like the the milk jug So that once you like you have like the weights there and you take a big sip and then you have the milk stash And then it's like like that Dave Chappelle episode where he's like he's only drinking Cambodian breast milk or whatever and he just got it all over his face.

I love this idea. I wish that everybody else was able to drink titty milk with me because I think it's so funny. You still can, apparently. If we started our own titty milk company. Order it and I'll drink it. If they just sent you a thing of Pedialyte, how would you know? It's not like milk at all, Pedialyte.

It's more like fruit juice. I know titty milk when I taste it. Am I thinking of Ensure? I don't remember. One of them looks like... Like cocaine in a movie. You trying to fuck me? You trying to fuck me with a school of light? This is clearly cut with 30% vanilla Ensure.

You don't get this kind of electrolyte dispersion in natural breast milk. I will tell you right now. I have a whole cigar face moment with a little chainsaw over some fake titty milk. What are the legal implications if you were to prank

somebody with breast milk? You've got to tell your neighbors about it whenever you move. You buy some and then with breast milk. You've got to tell your neighbors about it whenever you move. Buy some. Buy some. And then say, you make coffee for somebody with breast milk. And then you're like, oh, how's that

coffee, Jim? He's like, so let me tell you about the lady who donated the breast milk for that coffee. Her baby's this fat. She's got a very fat baby. You shouldn't be upset.

I kind of want to get weird with it too because I've got an ice cream shirt and I was thinking, what if I make some breast milk ice cream? I bet that's the most delicious ice cream you've ever had. That would be an expensive because you need a lot to get a little ice cream.

That's something that's pretty interesting I'd never considered breast milk ice cream Or cheese, maybe I could get into making my own cheese Well, that's pretty gross people cheese Come on People cheese All natural No animals were hurt in preparing this

Or whatever you want to say Yeah if someone's not eating dairy Because of some sort of moral Implication then hey it's people Oh this is This is a great fucking idea for like hardcore Vegan people you just get a bunch of people who are like, you know, we are totally against using animals for their products

because they're unable to consent. All of our women are consenting 100% of the time. They donate their milk in very comfortable conditions and the pasteurization process for the cheese is totally above board or whatever the fuck it is. We don't even hurt the bacteria. We got to pasteurize? I wanted it raw. I don't, no, that's illegal,

I think, in some places. Oh, is that where this gets illegal? Is that where this whole thing falls apart? No, this would be illegal. Would the donor have to be vegan or vegetarian, too? Yes, they are. That's on the website. They detail their vegan diet and stuff for the breast milk that they're producing. I swear to God. When you buy a titty milk, and stuff for the breast milk that they're producing.

I swear to God. When you buy a titty milk, yeah. Some of them brag that they're vegan. I'm a vegan. My breast milk doesn't have enough protein in it. My breast milk isn't the best it could be for your child. I'm sorry. We're omnivores.

I like that idea a lot. I think we should dig deeper into it. Maybe we'll get sponsored by them. That would be funny if their target audience is, of course, mothers with babies who want breast milk, but what if our fans just started buying it up to drink it?

Because of my reaction, it opened a whole new market for that lady. I think they should do, I think they should reach out to you guys soon and do PKA 20% off coupon code for that. And everybody should make their own breast milk cheese for the Super Bowl and have some breast milk nachos. I think that we need to go like that stock movie and we will short the breast milk market and make a lot of money.

I didn't watch enough of the movie and pay attention because that's the opposite of what no no no it's definitely what do you i watched the movie i paid attention you're betting it goes down yeah no no that's those that's speculation well we're going to take totally right about this this is like a thing i know drop out of the market that's what we're going to do when you tainted breast milk then that would work yeah kyle's right we're going to do. We need tainted breast milk. Then that would work. Yeah, Kyle's right. If you were to destroy the breast milk market, then you would destroy it.

No, no, no, not destroy it. We poison babies. Then the bottom falls out of the market and we make a killing. No, you can't poison the babies. Babies die all the time for no reason. They just say it was SIDS. We'd have to poison one of the adult creeps who's drinking this for fun. I'm not sure I follow this plan well enough to make money off of it.

We're on step two, which is a lot of question marks, but trust me on step three, I've got a real Trump way to figure this out. It's all going to come together, trust me. Speaking of Trump... I'm definitely going to do that, though. Are we going to talk about the Donald subreddit? Sure, let's talk about it. Alright, so if people don't know... I think most people know what Reddit is. Kyle said it was the fifth largest website in the world right now. Oh, I'm sorry.

Eighth? I got eighth out of that. Kyle says eighth. Okay. So it's the eighth largest website in the world, which when you think about it, you add like a YouTube and a Google. It's huge. It's got to be bigger than CNN, bigger than new york times like big big and um there's a if you don't know there are these like areas where people with common interests group together you know motorcycles

paramotoring of course right diy and the donald the donald is the largest of the Trump subreddits. 300,000. 300,000 people. So. Very active sub too. Just to add, there are other subs that have 300,000 members, but if you compare their analytics, it's ridiculous. Guys are passionate on the Donald, whether they're after karma or they're passionate about donald trump himself who knows maybe a little bit of both but it is a very hyperactive subreddit and i think of it a little bit like a youtube channel like there's youtube channels where they're like i don't know they got

three million subs that they've built up over the course of seven years and then there's youtube channels that are three million subs that built up in the last three months and that second youtube channel is you know while they may have the same lifetime achievement award the second one is hot and uh so anyway the donald is hot it's big it's growing it's exploding and it probably contributed at least a little bit to how trump won the election like trump dominated the internet and this might have been the center of all of that it is the center of his internet power i think like like i think that the donald is the center of donald trump's internet power it's been proven that he goes there occasionally um you know he's used stuff

that's basically taken from the guys on the donald and used it on his instagram or his twitter um he's he's taken points that they would make. They would point out some hypocrisy maybe and then all of a sudden he would voice that hypocrisy on his Twitter. So it's clear that either he's going to this subreddit or someone who works for him is. Right. So it's a I'm trying to say like even though

it seems like it's Reddit's some irrelevant corner of the internet, it's really not. This is kind of mainstream now. And so I think like just to jump in like a real quick thing I honestly think it turned more people off then turn them on or if there was a difference there I don't think it was as big as a lot of people think because I think a lot of people who go there if they're on the fence they're gonna see how extreme they are

and be like ah this isn't for me. You know? Who knows? There must have been people who – I'm sure there were people who were attracted and repelled to it. Yeah, yeah. So anyway, all that lays out that the Donald was kind of a big deal. And the Donald also – like in terms of subreddit or Reddit culture, kind of a misbehaving subreddit. One of the things they would do is they would pin a topic

and then they created this culture where like, hey, if you see something pinned, you upvote it so that it gets to the Reddit front page and gets even more exposure. Pinned topics everywhere else are like things the mods want you to see or know. Oftentimes they're rules of behavior for the subreddit. They did it kind of to manipulate the homepage, right? Like they'd put something, make it popular on the subreddit they did it kind of to manipulate the home page right like

they put something make it popular on that subreddit and then that would make it popular why don't they just make it so pinned posts can't go to the front page we'll cover that um yeah because well it to fast forward they did that but only to the donald they made it so that the donald who's the only subreddit who did this bad behavior, can't do it anymore. And they feel really censored. And me, like, I don't know, I'm banned from that subreddit for like nothing. Like I politely pointed out someone had facts wrong and there is a strict no dissent policy. You can't say anything negative. It's pro-Tr-trump etc they censor the fuck out of people in their subreddit but if you censor them even a tiny bit they're very very upset and that's where they that's where they are right now one of the largest websites in the world has 300 000 very

pissed off users because they they're pinned posts don't get to the front page anymore and there's another thing the ceo of reddit um i forget what he wrote oh i read some like so i do you want to do it kyle maybe you know more about this i think that he went into people's posts on like a i don't know what the word is a coding programming level and edited them to be referring to different people and made it so it looked like they were saying different things but usually on reddit if you go back and you edit something it'll say edited at like last edited whenever the way he did it was it didn't show as an edit it just showed that's what this person wrote kind of people got very upset people were attacking him which is a thing you're in here in public people attack you and they were calling him a pedophile oh i remember there was um there

was something called pizza gateagate, right? It started with Pizzagate. And Kyle, do you want to jump in or do you want me to lay it out? Yeah, yeah. So they were definitely sending him messages calling him a pedophile because they removed the Pizzagate subreddit, which was a conspiracy subreddit based around a theory that John Podesta is involved in some sort of globalist pedophile ring that may or may not involve the Clintons as well based on lots of coincidences they found in

the WikiLeaks stuff, but it's all horseshit. He took that down. Yeah, he took that down, and so he got a lot of messages calling him a pedophile. They're like, ah, you took down our, we're looking for pedophiles, you must be one of them, and they called him a pedophile a lot. But the comments that were edited were on

Reddit, and they said fuck Spez. His username is they said, fuck Spez. His username is Spez. Fuck Spez. And what he edited was he took Spez out, and he replaced it with different names of the Donald moderators. So he made it seem like users were saying, fuck Jimmy Cracks Corn, who's moderator one of the Donald, and Billy Bob Thornton, moderator two. So he made it appear that way. And then he...

Was he only doing this to the Donald people? Yeah. Well, he admitted that he had edited comments in the past. I missed that part. Later on. Yeah, he said... Not the Donald specifically, but he said that he'd edited comments in the past

on two different occasions. So what he did for less than an hour was programmatically changed all his insults to point at... Basically, it was people from the Donald hating on him. He made them hate on their own mods for like 40 minutes or 50 minutes or something. And then he apologized and said he did it

and they went bananas about that. More like censorship, changing posts, etc. I can understand that. that's pretty creepy it got covered a lot um by mainstream uh you know news outlets it was pretty interesting i view it from the other side so and on woody craft in the minecraft world there's a term for uh an admin who like misbehaves or cheats in game, and it's bad men, right? Now, I cheated in game all the time. But it wasn't like a secret. It was like, hey, here's my big base.

I used a program to create it instead of placing every block. If I did it any other way, then I would just get destroyed by all 300 of you so instantly I wouldn't even finish it. I have to make mine in a hurry. If you get inside, there's a fucking coupon code for you on the store. Like, knock yourself out. And, like, I was just a different kind of player.

But people would sometimes call me. Another thing, like, other people would work really hard for their armor. But because if I go into a public area, it would be, like, literally 50 people trying to kill me at once. I couldn't work five hours for my armor. You know, I just had to whip it up and then you kill me, you get it. It's a gift, right? Knock yourself out. And anyway, if they wrote badman, it changed that word to say, hey guys, I'm stupid. And they'd write it in chat and I would get a big kick out of it because you couldn't

say badman. And it was really hard. We'd change all sorts of variants. You could put letters in between. You could change the A to a 4. It didn't matter. We caught you, and it would say I was stupid or hey, guys, I'm stupid. And I just see that, and I'm like, man, if I'm a Reddit admin, I get that they shouldn't. I get that it's censorship. And their site is not a, you know, theirs is the number eight website in the world, not the number one Minecraft server in the world.

There's a huge difference. But just the same i did see it from the other side like man if they cursed me out every day and i kind of like like pointed the finger back at them i it's a mistake that i could see myself making it's definitely different than than doing that on a server. Like, it's a funny joke that if you do that, because people go, oh, okay, when I see you're a big goober or whatever, or I'm a big goober, I know someone wrote fuck Woody or bad mod, mod bad or whatever it was. Badman, but yeah. Badman.

And, like, that's fine. Everybody understands what's going on. If someone goes and checks your Reddit history and something has wildly changed, it really can reflect you in a bad light. In some ways, if they decide to do it, you might not even know that this edit occurred. It is very creepy, regardless of who that's happening to.

It's against the site rules, and I guess they pointed out that in some way it opens up Reddit to being responsible for the content that's there. I guess part of them not being responsible for what I or you or anyone posts on Reddit is this sort of line that divides the management of the company from its users. And by them tampering with it, even in a way that didn't matter that much they sort of broke that confidence and then of course people go far with it and they're like hey what if they made it look like I posted child porn. All they had to do was put child porn there instead of some fuck this guy or fuck that

guy and all of a sudden law enforcement is after me, my life is ruined. This thing that is normally screen shoted as rock hard evidence this is what this user did this is what that user did and now it's not so rock hard i don't know it didn't it seemed like a really innocent thing that he did and i think he probably had innocent uh not innocent but he not he didn't think of what he was doing as anything criminal or like uh i don't think he thought he was going to get as much attention from what he did but i don't know it's not the worst thing ever oh yeah on an unrelated note if you guys heard that like knocking sprung sound we don't know what caused that yet there it is i just heard it yeah i just heard it you know what that was it it's it's not me

i have no idea i hear it my headphones wrong sound no idea. I hear it in my headphones. Yeah. Did you not hear it, Taylor? No, I haven't heard a sprung sound. I haven't touched anything. I think it might be in Taylor's world. Can we be quiet for a second? It's Taylor.

I don't know what it is. There. It's a... It's a. It's actually happening a lot now, like almost every four or five seconds. Yeah. Winston hates it. Winston hates...

Can you look at your browser tabs? Do you maybe have a little, you know, how it shows you what, which tab is playing something? Nothing's playing anything. I thought it was me at first. When you guys didn't hear it, I was like, oh, no, it's totally coming from me. Oh, what? It kind of stopped. Did it stop?

Yes. There was a pop-up in the background trying to load some bullshit ad over and over going, hep, hep, hep, hep, hep, hep. I missed it. Sorry about that. Can you tap your mic and just be sure that's – yeah, it's the right mic. All right. All right. I'm it. Sorry about that. Can you tap your mic and just be sure that's... Yeah, it's the right mic. All right. I'm sorry.

I just didn't want that to happen for the rest of the night. Let me take this moment to get an ad read in here. Let me tell everyone a little bit about Casper Mattresses. They are obsessively engineered American-made mattresses at a shockingly fair price. And now you can get $50 towards any mattress purchase by going to casper.com slash pka and using code pka. Listen, you spend about a third of your life sleeping. Let's make sure you're doing it on a good mattress. Casper brings together two comfy

technologies, latex foam and memory foam. So they've got just the right sink, just the right bounce, no matter how you sleep. They've got a risk-free trial and return policy that deliver it straight to your door. And you can try it for for 100 days and if you're not happy, they'll pick it right back up. At the store, maybe you get a minute or two to try out a mattress but with Casper, you'll get to actually sleep on the thing. It's $500 for a twin-size mattress and $950 for a king-size mattress. Comparing that to industry averages, it's an outstanding price point. So, good, $50 towards any mattress purchase by going to casper.com slash pka and using code pka. I think Richard

Bryan has a Casper mattress. I have a Casper mattress. My friend Kitty has a Casper mattress. Winston here sleeps on a Casper mattress. He calls it the big sleeper. He loves it. He calls it the big sleeper? Yeah, I'll call it the big sleeper. This is awesome.

As soon as I moved to nashville that's what i did was i bought a casper mattress because when i talked to you guys last i believe i was moving back to nashville or something and um they just delivered it straight to my door and i didn't have to do the whole moving truck thing from la to nashville and i just brought the mattress in the room, opened up the box and it's, it's vacuum sealed, cut it open and it just kind of pressurizes or whatever it does itself in the room.

And then boom, it was good to go. Dude, that show in itself is like, I don't know. I almost wish I needed a mattress. Like, cause it's curiously small.

Taylor, can you check your pop-ups? The mattress is just the same sound. That's small. Taylor, can you check your pop-ups? The mattress is... Did something else happen?

And I've got a friend who's, I don't want to put his business out there, but he's figuring out what to do next in terms of career, where he wants to go. He's got a lot of wide open options.

What do you value in a gig? Would you work nine to five in a cube for a lot of money? Would you use less money to say work from home? Would you, like, is it a challenge that you look for flexibility you want to be able to if you need a tuesday afternoon you want to just take it because like nine to five doesn't give you i've thought about this a lot and then i i apologize to everybody who's going to be like richard why don't you just give him a straight answer well i feel like i feel like you are at different points in your life and can or need different things, right? So for me, sometimes you need the structure of a nine to five.

And you need to be able to just turn that switch and not have to deal with work right i like now that i work for myself and i actually i have two businesses that i work for myself and i have one business that i'm a salaried employee that i have to show up for um and that's that's the worst scenario don't ever do that because the pros the pros the pros of working for yourself mean that you can take off, hopefully, whenever you need to. But on the flip side of the coin, you're always working. You really need to figure out how you can separate. For me, I needed a separation from home life and work life. So even if it's carving a section of the house off where that's only where I work, but when I'm in the living room or I'm in the bedroom, there's no TV. There's no computer work or phone or whatever.

You need to be able to separate that stuff because mentally you'll burn yourself out and you'll just – it's so frustrating. You're always on if that makes sense. But so that makes – there's something to be said for punching a clock, right? Because 9 to 5, man, that weekend is awesome because five o'clock on Friday, you're like, man, I got, I got college football Saturday. I got, you know, I could go, I could go do this. I could go, I could jump down to Florida if I wanted to and go hang out at the beach for the weekend. I got, I don't have anybody blowing up my phone. Um, but then, you know, there's the gratification that you get for working for yourself, I don't know, man.

Like you talk about Lyft. It's so funny because a lot of those guys, I'll talk to them whenever I'm riding around with them and everything. And they're always like more times than not just extremely happy to be able to set their own hours. And they do. They flip the switch ironically enough because they're driving in their office and this is this isn't an ad for lyft this is actually just me realizing oh wow that's kind of cool because it kind of takes away from what i was just proving as a point was like i work from home because i do internet stuff or i work in an office but in a car

you can flip that switch and turn off the office and then go home and still set your own hours and everything. I think that's the biggest problem that I have is being able to differentiate home life from work life because it's consuming me. I'm like I work all the time. I mean like and I know like as I get older, as I get like to the point of marriage and kids and stuff, I've got to figure that out. Because right now I'm a madman. I am go, go, go, go, go, go, go all the time. And I need to be able to shut that off. But I do really enjoy what I do.

Please don't take it as like, woe is me. Because who wouldn't want to get paid to go wingsuit, you know, or go do this explosive thing or go do this or that. I mean, I have a really good life in that sense where my job isn't physically demanding at times, but mentally it can be exhausting because you're nonstop. There is no separation because, I mean, your computer and your phone's always there. So for me, I don't know, man. It's a very political answer to say, but it just depends on what point in your life you're at or where you're at in your life

because some people need that structure. I loved working construction, man. At one point, I was working construction from 5.30 in the morning until 3.30 in the afternoon, and those hours were great. I mean, I hated getting up early in the morning. I love to sleep, but there's something gratifying about just being forced to get up early in the day and then just carpe diem, man. I'm just like, I'm doing something. I'm building something today.

And as soon as I punch that clock, man, when I go home, if I had a beer or whatever it was, man, I was just, I slept good. I slept hard, man. I just like, I hit that pillow. I was out. And maybe it was the physical labor. Maybe it was the structured environment. Maybe it's a combination of both.

But now I find it challenging at times because I'll wake up at like one o'clock in the morning and go, oh man, I need to put this on my to-do list. I need to do this. I need to do that. And because I have so much stuff going on, my memory is shot. If I don't take and I do a notepad of things that I need to accomplish in a day, it's like anywhere from 50 to 80 different tasks that I need to accomplish in any given day. If I don't write those down when I think about them, forget it, forget it. So it interrupts my sleep cycle and stuff like that. So, I mean, there's pros and cons to both. I mean, the risk and reward, right? I mean, I wouldn't come close to being financially as successful working for somebody else as I would probably for myself. So you just have to weigh those things and what works best for you.

So I honestly, I think right now I'm okay with working for myself and somebody else, but it's, it's, it's the best of both worlds. It's the worst. The question was, what do you value most?

Like, what do you want? Like what, what's the situation you prescribed to yourself? I just went on a rant and I didn't even answer the question. I didn't know. I didn't get it out of there, but it was alright. So what do

you value in a gig? It wasn't even a rant. I think we should all take note of how little I interrupted, because that was wild. Richard is such a nice guy that he referred to that nice, measured,

uplifting thing as a rant just because you talked for a couple minutes like that was I think that's funny so what do you value? So just to answer your question what do I value in a job? I think physical labor is is something that is is great me. I love just being physically exhausted at the end of the day. And personal gratification, and this is the thing that kind of probably gets to a lot of people,

is that gratification of not even a job well done, of just completing a task. And even if nobody acknowledges it, but if somebody does acknowledge it, it makes it worthwhile, especially if you're helping somebody, you know, like be it in the customer service world or whatever. That's why, like, you know, people who work in customer service, like be it waiters, bartenders, you know, I've bartended and everything everything and i i just i love it man people who are helping you throughout your day uh enjoy your time or whatever i i just feel like that that gratification goes a long way and that's kind of like what i look for you know that it what we

do uh in the entertainment side of stuff i i just i enjoy it i love it when i worked at so when i worked in tech right i was a programmer sysadmin lots of stuff um i think creating original stuff is the most highly regarded like tasks that you can do as a programmer or tech but what i really liked doing was fixing broken things solving customer problems um especially if someone else was stumped at it. Because what I got off on was wearing a cape. Like if when you make new things like, yeah, there's like people give you this like printed out spec and things that you're supposed to implement and it's what you're supposed to do.

And then you meet the minimum standard if it's perfect. Like that's what that job is like. But when there's some diving catch in there and they're like, holy shit, we were losing a million dollars every minute that the system was down. And then Woody came in and brought it back up and saved the day. That's what I got off on in the tech world. Like that was – you talked about satisfaction and like customer service. And it was like, yeah, I really liked that. That was – it was really rewarding for me for people to be like, you know, give this guy.

I'd get little trophies. Like if they fucking get – Fortune 500 is silly. But, yeah, they would like give you crystal trophies and stuff, like IT quarterly, man of the quarter, whatever. And I'd line my fucking – Do you have them still? No, I threw them out when I stopped working. But they were like – I have them all.

I collected more than my share of these things like dundies yeah like dundies yeah and i would have i would decorate my bookshelves and stuff with like these sometimes they were crystal sometimes they were plastic meant to look like crystal and i just you know i'd put them everywhere every quarterly like bonus and shit i'd frame the damn things and like... All of your sit-skis. Yeah. My cube was decorated with my achievements.

I think it is in human nature, though, to want to be wanted or needed at some capacity. That sense of community, I guess that reward goes a long way. I think people find it in work or whatever you know groups yeah i want to feel needed taylor yeah kind of same question for

you what do you value in a gig and you might be in a tougher spot because you're working right now but like what do you like time to yourself you like money you like low hours high hours yeah like what is it that that defines that defines something important about work to you? Really, it's just as much of the work itself. It's the people that I'm in contact with every day. If I have a really good job, but my boss or some coworker is an asshole or is just, not even if they don't do their job well, just if they're unpleasant or something, that's something underrated that if you're not in the workforce yet you may find out if you go into a traditional line of work where you're working next to colleagues is you can be doing something fun that you're like man this is exactly what i want

like i'm making a marketing proposal whatever the fuck you're doing you're kind of enjoying like looking at the numbers trying to figure it out like a puzzle but if the person you're with is an asshole it's not it the whole thing is shot like that's all it takes for a job to suck one person to be shitty So it's the person the people you work with and then Not having to work a lot at nights. I feel very Constrained at night. I get a little more if something comes up at like 10 p.m I feel like I have to go address it or shoot off some emails or like Put out a fire or something. I really don't like that like I do it

But I don't I feel almost like I'm on a leash at that point where it's like, oh, you thought you were watching Westworld. Not today. Like I don't like stuff like that. Nights don't bother me. But I will say like to tie into your first point on like happy coworkers, happy customers makes a big deal too. So my daughter is 17, and she's whole world of, of careers to pick from. And because she does so well at speech,

one of the ones that keeps popping up as attorney, right. That's someone who might have to speak in front of a crowd or present or what have you. And it's like, man, the problem with attorney is most of the people you deal with in a lot of different kinds of law are having a bad day. The same is true in my mind with doctors. Or a cop. Or a cop. Yeah, that's a great example too. I think you just got to pick the kind because if you pick a breast augmentation doctor,

it's a happy day every time. It's titties all day. I feel that way about OBGYN. Like, yeah, if you're delivering babies. You've just never seen a bad pussy though. Yeah, you're picturing what you see on Reddit, like the simp, the rsimp subreddit of all these perfect vaginas.

You're picturing a bunch of Australian pornography legal pussies. But there's a whole vast world of vagina out there that the normal human beings don't get exposed to that an OBGYN does. When pussies show up at OBGYN, they're not sending their best. They're sending their moist.

They're infecting cheesy. They're slightly yeasty. Things like that. They're very overweight. You're not going to walk in and find Katy Perry or someone sitting there like, Hey, just wanted to make sure that you thought I was hot.

I got a nice vag. Nothing's wrong with that. And you're like, thanks a lot, Katy Perry. I'll just put my glove on. Or do you mind if I don't wink wink or whatever the fuck you would do? It's going to be like my pussy hurts. And I think something stuck up there. And you're like, Oh, let me get these forceps.

What I'm actually talking about is OBGYN delivering babies. And like a lot of people, you ask them the best day of their life, and they'll pick the day their kid was born, right? That's a good day most of the time. Babies die sometimes. Babies do die. Sometimes you get a Zika baby.

Sometimes it comes out black. You know, sometimes these days aren't so great, all right? I'm sure you're right. I'm just saying if I was a doctor, I think delivering babies would be my gig. Like most of the time. But those Zika babies are easy to deliver. And it's not all baby delivery too, right? It's the first heartbeat. It's it's a lot of neat stuff. So all right, let's go ahead goof off

Yeah, anyway Yeah, you think you would like that I feel like it would very quickly turn the miracle of birth into Something very formulaic and not as magical. It would go from like, wow, can you believe this human body basically homebrewed this little animal in there? That's really neat. To like, all right, and now we should be expecting about six gallons of placenta in the next few moments.

Here it comes right on schedule. All right, can we get a mop and a bucket in here? I think it'd be cool to be competent at that job and to do it well and oh no that would be a nice skill to have like i think humans have been really good at giving birth since way before the faults we sucked at it forever oh yeah real bad at it that's yeah okay you know your bible god did this to us that's why that's why people have to farm too god. God said, hey, you have to push a kid out of your vagina. It's going to really suck. And men, you have to deal with her and work your whole life.

And everybody's like, oh, man, this sucks. Fucking apple. And ladies, you have to deal with your angry man when he gets home from work. In retrospect, what would you change? Shouldn't have eaten the apple. Yeah, you know, honestly, all it needed was needed was like one generation of no apple eating and then they could have just built a fence yeah they could have just made it so it's like what's under that tarp we don't talk about it just are you enjoying life asshole then don't we're kind

of we're talking about how so lawyers you're dealing with like the scum of the earth or people on their worst day ever or whatever. What are the lawyers who don't? What are the lawyers who deal with happy days? Like maybe someone who does closing costs on mansions or something like that. That sounds like you're hobnobbing with really wealthy clientele who are very likely to maybe make you a friend. Maybe you take a step up in life because you're selling these big yachts ors or these eight million dollars anybody ever happy to pay a lawyer though you know when we saw i bought two homes in my life and each time it was kind of a good day you know when you sign that paperwork

you go to the closing and and they seem to get like 750 for an hour worth of sitting there doing fucking nothing um it's and they were worthless Like our real estate agent in both cases caught mistakes that the attorney made because they sit in probably as many as they do. And so, yeah, they just, but that's a good job to real estate attorney. The real estate attorney we talked to most recently used to be a criminal

attorney. It used to be the prosecutor for this area. And he's like, never do that he's like because you work with criminals all day long it's terrible yeah and and you're pissing criminal at least if you're a defense attorney the worst thing that could happen i suppose would be that like you get somebody off and you're like oh my god he really did rape those women i got him free but if you're a prosecutor then maybe you're putting the rapist in jail and he's like i'm gonna

get you motherfucker and you deal with that every single day. Like that would – I couldn't do that. Or a defense attorney, you don't get someone off and like the Messini family sends someone and you say hi. Like I feel like being an attorney in that criminal world, this is probably just like a movie bullshit thing. I don't think so. But I feel like you have to be a little bit scared where it's like, shit, like I didn't get that guy off. He's really well connected or oh I got that guy off and he is clearly shady as shit and I even knew he was a North Korean soccer player like oh god don't kick it too hard

please this is my life yeah those guys have it rough because they first of all you don't get enough food to grow into an athlete of any kind, and then they put you out there against the best that England or Spain has to offer, and they just get butt-fucked. Why would they even field a soccer team just to show that they, at the very most, have a cursory understanding of the sport and haven't eaten nearly enough kale and whey powder to be competing at that level? Whey powder? Yeah, whey powder to be competing at that level whey powder yeah whey powder whey protein powder whenever sorry for north korean athletes i've heard you know throw

they throw them in like vats of acid or something if they do poorly those guys are often under threat they're like you better score fucking gold tonight or or your wife gets it that's just it i feel like if i'm from sweden i give someone a pity goal. Like, you know, here, guys, we're up 7-0. Here, 7-1, knock yourself out. Please let me score. I want my wife to say, still have at least eight fingers. If I'm in North Korea, I'm, like, screaming it to, like, my Brazilian counterpart. Like, this means everything to me.

You don't understand. There are guards in our locker room right now. My whole family has guns to their head. Just let it in. There are guards in our locker room right now! There's a black feed! My whole family has guns to their head! Just let it in! Do you notice how 22 guys went in at halftime and 17 came back? There's a reason!

All those guys are dead in the showers, piled up! I feel like they get a lot of red cards. They'd be so aggressive. Did you see this story of a lady kidnapped in California? So she's 34-year-old, blonde hair, blue eyes, 5'3", 100 pounds. Beautiful lady, and she was kidnapped a couple weeks ago, been missing for a while. And when someone's missing for that long,

especially a young lady like this, you figure she's dead, right? She's just dead somewhere, or even worse. And then all of a sudden she turns up on the side of the road, emaciated, tortured, branded, hair chopped off, beaten, chain marks on her wrists and ankles, and she has one of the road, emaciated, tortured, branded, hair chopped off, beaten, chain marks on her wrists and ankles. And she has one of the most ridiculous stories that apparently is true. Apparently two Hispanic women kidnapped her and held her captive for days, beating, torturing, and cursing her.

And they say that the brand is a message, but nobody knows what it says. Hispanic women? As soon as I heard women, I thought – Get the shit fired! I thought – As soon as I heard that. I was like, women? I wish a motherfucker would try. Bring your shit.

Hispanic men, or any men really. Two men? No, thank you. No, no. You just stay at home. Two women? Let's do this. Let's go, bitches.

How many North Korean soccer players do you think you could beat up at the same time i imagine they're the best they have to offer but but appears about this donald trump is gonna like this one he's gonna be talking about those those bad hombres coming in he's gonna want to build that wall this is this is true this is incredibly sad it is true apparently like like when i first heard it, I was like, bullshit. That's not a thing that happens. But the more they vet her story, the more it turns out, you know, the evidence backs it up. And I doubt she tortured herself.

Right. Yeah. Man, that is, that's really shitty. Yeah. And also, women, so I guess she wasn't sexually abused? Oh, I bet she was. Sound like it. They haven't said anything about sexual abuse.

It's not on the list. Yeah. Here, let me read it. 87 pounds, so down from 100. Severe burns, rashes, and chain markings on her body. Her hair chopped off and branded. Just like Kyle said. Dude.

But she got abducted by women? Now, I'll give her a pass because she's a 5'3", 100-pound girl. But me? I had a gun. Yeah, and I had a gun. Maids from the hill, kind of wide stance, like bulky. Oh, come on.

Yeah, right? Come on, Richard, back me up. You wish a motherfucker would try, right? Couple women abduct you? Come on. I don back me up. You wish a motherfucker would try, right? Couple women abduct you? Come on. I don't know, man. Oh, you know you're thinking it. You gotta be.

Two girls? Because even if it came out in a story that, like, famed YouTuber Richard Ryan, accosted by two Hispanic females, manages to escape, going to Ryan now. And then it shows you and these two kujold and bloodied women behind you. No one is going to be like, wow, that was really brave of him. It's just one of those situations. It's one of those situations where you lose either way. Oh, no, you don't? Right?

It's like, well, you lose either way. It's like, okay, they win and they kidnap you, beat you don't right. It's oh, it's like well you lose your way. It's like okay They they win and they kidnap you beat you up or whatever. Even if you get a black eye. They're gonna be like Come on, dude, bro. You couldn't handle two chicks. Come on You fuck you end up killing two of them or you beat them both up It's like Oh Richard thinks he's a big man now beating up on two little women trying to just play games with him what i could picture happening is like that like maybe you get a little too aggressive like or a little too defensive and if they came up to you

kind of just go like fuck off and like push them real quick to try and de-escalate and then they have like one of those uh million dollar baby or whatever the fuck like stumbling backwards and they crack their head on a, you know, side of the road or the curb. And you're just like, Oh, Oh shit.

I hope there's a camera somewhere. Oh shit. Not a camera somewhere. You gotta, you gotta just back out of this situation. Yeah. Whenever I see that in a movie, it's that nightmare self-defense scenario where like the guy is just

standing there being himself. And then like a drunk belligerent person just chooses him to be his victim and he does his best to be defensive about it but in the end he hits the guy and the guy falls and dies right there and then that guy's three friends are screaming you killed billy he killed billy did everybody see it he killed him like that's the nightmare scenario but the dream scenario is this first of all there's cameras there's cameras from six different angles so we can edit this into something nice and then second the women come they try to abduct you you know they're grabbing your shirt they're trying to pull you away you wrestle

yourself free and then you fucking let the fists fly and they just like go it's like they melt under your advance exactly they. They just fucking are. One hit drops to the ground. The second one foolishly doesn't learn from the first example. You're doing the Ali shuffle right in the middle of knocking the second one out. Exactly. The second one drops. By that point, the first one's gotten back up again, and she's stumbling.

But we've proven self-defense at this point. She's still coming at me. Equal rights, equal lefts, bitches. So that's the dream scenario. And then, of course, we edit together. Jesus, if that's not a shirt already, you need to sell that one with me. Oh, I didn't make it up. Equal rights, equal lefts.

I've never heard that before. That's hilarious. before. That's hilarious. My fantasy of the defense thing, though, is not defending myself against women because no one will be like, wow, Taylor, you really muscled that 5'6",

115-pound girl to the ground. You really showed her what was what. If anything, the fantasy is you are in the hallway as the school shooting is going down you don't have a gun you don't you don't have anything so you have to like pick up some implement out of the corner of the science room like some like metal rod and then like as they're running down the hallway you get the jump and you beat them to death or something and then you get to be the guy

on cnn being like well everybody else was fucking terrified not me though found this the science stick in the corner position myself and you'd say it in a way like where you planned you'd be like well i watched a lot of survivalist youtube a lot of richard ryan on youtube and so i got down in the corner waited and then i struck like wow that is so brave you're a hero i heard you started a go fund me yes that's go fund me taylor the hero um the goal is 10 million and i agree with you, but this was all predicated on this woman that got abducted by two other women. And it was like, oh, yeah, fucking bring that shit my way. That's where the girl beating up came from. There was a story years ago that I read part of it where it was a guy in Germany or Russia.

I think Russia. This is a very Russian thing to do. Where a guy broke into somewhere, tried to rob this place, a woman's store, and she ended up getting the upper hand on him somehow by like... She knocked him out and she tied him up and raped

him for days. Wait, she raped him for days? She was feeding him Viagra and stuff. Again, I wish a motherfucker would. Because you'd be knocked out and tied up She was feeding him Viagra and stuff. She was feeding him Viagra. Again, I wish a motherfucker would. No, you don't. Because you'd be knocked out and tied up and forced to have this priaptic penis that looks like it's going to rot off.

What do you know? Maybe that's my kink. No, it's not. It's not anyone's kink, Woody. It's not anyone's kink to be fucking kidnapped by an ugly Russian widower and then banged every night. Who knew ugly? God, he ruined it.

Of course, it's Russia and so I'm pretty sure that when he got out they were just, he was like, you know, she raped me for days. And they're like, you were in there trying to steal her biscuits and her collage. That is all she has. What do you expect her to do? You know, like

they would say. No charges for her, I guarantee it. Like, she might get a medal in Russia. Dude, America has a real rapist cross frightened view of russia don't we like i can't think of another country where i just assume everybody is like a mma trained badass that can drink liters of vodka and shake that off they're all like just tough and maybe dumb but like a real problem in any kind of fight military or personal like that's my view of russian you know you know why insurance regulations because in russia they have to have dash cams for insurance regulations so we see all the crazy shit that goes on in russia because of dash cam footage.

We don't see nothing in the U.S. So it's just like Russia is the craziest place. Look, there's a meteor. Those people are running towards it. What are they doing? What are they doing? Rich, for people who don't know, it's not that you have to, but you get a discount on your insurance if you have a dash cam.

That's right. Yeah, and I like that idea. Fraud is very prevalent there. Fraud, that's right. Yeah. That's right. And I like that idea. And fraud is very prevalent there. Fraud. That's right. People will jump out in front of you, take some bullshit like fender bender off their ass, and then sue you badly. If you're a Russian, put all of your rubles into the aluminum bat market. Because every single person in Russia has three aluminum bats in different areas in their cars.

It is crazy how quickly – like they take it out the way that kyle if kyle went to a gun range and he had a gun in his holster he'd just take it out and he'd start shooting plinking away they do it like that where they're like oh you have to get too close to me i'm trying to go through the light well i see what we have to do and you just go up there you know around the top grabs the bat and usually what happens is he walks towards the other guy and the other guy goes oh you think you have the only louisville slugger in russia and he pulls his own out and then they go and then they kind of like take a couple stutter steps and then they go well like your track suit and then they walk back it's rare that you see when both of them have weapons that i've seen out of control the

guy pulls out his like he had a short aluminum bat like it looked like a kid's t-ball bat and i picked those up at wal Walmart and thought to myself, God damn, you could flip somebody with this thing. It weighs nothing. No, it's the opposite. It's like a three-foot-long aluminum bat, and it weighs fucking nothing. You could flick it with your wrist and knock somebody out. He pulls that thing out and starts advancing on the other guy. The other guy reaches into the bed of his truck and pulls out a long wooden dowel,

like two and a half inches thick. But it's too long to wield. He hits the guy and breaks it on the first whack and then the other guy just wails on him with the bat. It just beats the shit out of him. Can we watch this video? It's probably we've watched it before on the show so it's a bit of a repeat. But that's what I do.

And it's probably been two years. Oh, I love this video. Thank you for the support. I appreciate that. This is a great one. this like thank you for the support. I appreciate that this is a great great one Richard are you ready? Yeah, yeah, yeah, because the font is chiller Chill or whatever it was ready. I'm ready set play so this one. We need audio for the audio is key Because there's a ping involved so these guys are in the street just

picking on cars that go by kicking up it's being no good nicks yeah street thugs this is when you okay there's a guy just walking up onto the hood of a car that for some reason has stopped. Ah, dang. He punches the window, like, full on. Like, they're attacking the guy's car, basically. He's trying to pass him. There's like five of them, at least. He's pulling away, but he's stopping now.

Is he stopping on yours? You're ahead of the stream. Yeah, he's not leaving in a way that he actually wants to. He's brooding about whether or not he should start shit or finish shit. There's alternatively screaming drive away and let's go. So he can't see it.

There it is. He stopped at the end of the street and he's challenging like four people to a fight. But he has a bat. And I want to be quiet at this point so you hear it. You hear that sickening crack? That's not a crack. God dang!

Listen, there's more. This guy's beating the shit out of these guys with a bat in the middle of the road. He's clubbing the fuck out of them. And he's coming for more. Dang! When he hits people it goes dang! Have you ever played with those... Oh my god, this is like Assassin's Creed where you just hit the button and the enemy is walking on.

They're all chasing him. Oh, they're all over him. He had to run for it, they're trying to get him out of his house. Oh, they're all over him! Someone's hanging off, but he drives away! Oh, and the guy who was hanging off gets his legs run over. Now there's a group of defeated people trying to admit that four of them just all got beat up. Every single one of them deserved every hit that they got. Yeah, I think a Puerto Rican. Yeah, they got what they deserved. I what they deserved. I was going to call him Italian, but I wasn't sure, so I said nothing. What kind of flag is that right there we're looking at?

Like, next to the American flag. I don't know. Does anyone know? I think if those guys were Italian, the in-charge Don or underboss or whoever would have come out there and told them to stop. You know, hey, we actually make a lot of money, so please don't harass

random uber drivers in alleyways that guy got out and and really threw a whooping on those dudes he did not give a shit he went in there like he was bruce lee confident with taking on a group of five yeah that was great it have you seen uh from from paris with love when travolta like beats up like six Chinese guys with a club? It was like that. It was nuts. Although, they really took it well. In the movies, you hit somebody with an aluminum bat, and they're just down for the count.

He didn't knock anybody down. He definitely hurt a lot of people, though. Yeah. And I had to wonder if some of those tings weren't against human flesh. What do you hit on a person that goes ting? It goes thud. Elbows? Elbow, yeah.

Can you imagine that hitting your elbow, though? That's horrible. Fucking shatter. Oh my god. That guy is a real badass. I'm like, two girls? I wish a motherfucker would. Like, I'm like, oh, two girls?

I wish a motherfucker would. He's like, six guys? I wish a motherfucker, six guys, I wish you wouldn't. Kindly, let me pass. You know what I would like to keep in my car, just in case, is a collapsible trident and net. So that if they do come after me, they'll be so baffled by me getting out,

and I'll keep a gladiator helmet in there too. And so I'll get out, you know, pull out my fucking trident and my net, and I'll goad them into it. I'll say things in Latin, or like the way that old people would say it. Scream something about Poseidon. Like, get your trident out. By the swords, I'll have your head if you take another step! That would baffle. I'm talking about taking them back to the depths

with you. Nobody would get in a fight with me. They'd be like, this guy keeps gladiator shit in his car. At the very least, he's gonna bite me and I'm gonna catch something. Like, this guy's a maniac. Yeah, maybe in Westworld, I would like, I would want me and i'm gonna catch something like this guy's a maniac yeah maybe in west world i would i would i would like i would want that you know but in this world that i'm in right now i'm terrified

of confrontations because it's like i feel like i'm gonna lose either way i always i always look at it that way it's like i'm gonna i'm gonna somebody and they're going to sue me. Or I'm going to try to assess it and take too long to assess it. And then I'm going to get fucked up or killed. You know, because like, it's like, I don't want to like, like even concealed carrying is like such a huge responsibility, right? Because you don't want to like, you know, you need to clearly identify the threat and everything and not just randomly shoot somebody. So it's like you want to weigh the pros and cons, but is that going to take too long? And then it's like, being it is what we do, I'm sure there's people out there who would want to look for confrontation just to say that they did or whatever, you know. Have you ever needed Concealed Carry, Richard? What's that. Have you ever needed Concealed Carry, Richard?

What's that? Have you ever needed Concealed Carry, used it, like been happy you have it? Actually, there's been times and I was really glad that I didn't. And I didn't at that time because I'd be afraid because, I mean, you'd use it in the the you wouldn't draw on somebody

to get them to leave you draw on somebody in the event that you needed to defend yourself right right I remember one time I was in LA and um and obviously I couldn't conceal there and uh it's right when I first went out there i was uh driving my truck and i'm just gonna tell people what happened i'm not trying to make this uh topic of conversations is just what happened um but um i was going i didn't know the streets that well and i have just moved there like a week or two prior and olymp Olympic downtown LA turns into like a dead end. And you have to like both lanes go into a left-hand turn to get on this other area. So everyone kind of tries to merge over at the last minute.

And a lot of people get frustrated with people who wait to the last minute to merge. Because that's a dick move, right? That's arguably a big source of a lot of traffic problems, people waiting and then everybody has to break and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So I understand why people get upset about that. But I couldn't see what needed to be done. And this was pre-GPS.

So we had Tom's Guides. So this is big, thick, like phone book thing that grids out LA. And so when you wanted to figure out where you would wanted to go, you would, you would go like H5 and then you would flip to H5 and figure out how you would get there and everything. So I'm trying to navigate my way around Los Angeles. And, um, and so I need to merge to get over and I put my blinker on and everything and, and I merge over and it wasn't

in an aggressive way i mean this was like legit me with turn signal on and uh and and just slowly getting over and this guy and his his his girl pull up to me and just lose their mind just start losing their mind and i have a have a Tennessee tag on and everything. And he gets out and my window is down because it's hot or whatever. A Tennessee tag, a Tennessee license plate. Oh, yeah, a Tennessee license plate. Sorry. And he gets out and then just runs up to my truck and, like, sticks his head.

And, like, he's,'s like going to grab me and everything he's just like so what the what the fuck is your problem well it just starts like going off he's like he's like that's why nobody likes you people blah blah blah and i'm like like whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa what's going on and so like you know i just started like kind of like that situation where i'm like just driving off and everything but like had that dude like pulled me out of like the truck like like in a situation like that i don't know like i mean i guess that that would be a good scenario for like pepper spray or a taser or something like that because it's like a a less lethal thing where i wouldn't really afraid for

my life but i could have got really like screwed up but um as far as situations actually yes yes there is there it is not necessarily concealed carry but open carry um so another california story um you remember the chris dorner shootout i don't know if i've told this uh on the podcast here so forgive me i don't know forgive me if told this on the podcast here, so forgive me. I don't know. Forgive me if I have. Even if I did, the viewers might not. Okay. Okay. So Chris Dorner was the former LAPD officer who ended up killing maybe one or two people, and it was a huge manhunt in L.A.

The LAPD shot up a vehicle that looked like his yeah and it was a korean lady driving it i mean it was a big massive manhunt well it just so happened that um they had uh while we were i used to film at big bear a lot so we had like a property out there that was uh maybe a couple hundred acres which is off a four. So we had like a property out there that was maybe a couple hundred acres, which is off a four wheel drive path, like fire trail. So only us and maybe the fire, the park rangers had access to it. So it take, if you go up to Big Bear, the road that goes up the mountain, you have to exit going halfway off the mountain, unlock a gate and go on this fire trail for like an hour and a half to get to this property it's extremely remote extremely remote and um and we we were out there filming early one

morning and i was setting setting stuff off making noise and everything and a drone flow flew over us and i was like all right uh we we should start packing up because it takes a while to break down a slow-mo camera and all that other stuff. And sheriff's department rolls up in like a black SUV and everything, AKs and all this other stuff. And they're like, what are you guys doing out here? And they're like, this is our property filming. What's going on, officer? And he's like, well, there's like a potential murder suspect

coming down this ridge here you guys need to get off the mountain right now he's like go up that road um or go up the trail there's going to be a roadblock um you know blah blah blah blah blah wait so there's a potential murder suspect coming down this ridge right now um we're on private property right now i have guns um it's not necessarily legal for me to carry them loaded in transport is it all right is it safe for me to carry that and transport just in case we run into him it was so frustrating the statement that came out of this guy's mouth he was like you should be all right he paused he paused he paused for like five seconds not even a beat it was like two or three beats and he's like you should be all right it's like fuck that as in like go unarmed you'll probably be not shot

yeah yeah he's like if you see if you see you and this was this was the funny thing was he was like if you see if you see a black man in the road or whatever, or the trail, you just keep driving. You hit him or keep driving. I was like, wait, so you're telling me there's no black officers on the police force there, LAPD or Homeland Security? Probably not. No, no, no, no.

There's only going to be one guy potentially coming down this ridge. or Homeland Security. Probably not. No, no, no, no. There's only going to be one guy potentially coming down this ridge. But that was the one time, which, I mean, not trying to make this political in any way, but I was really, really frustrated because people talk about firearms laws and restrictions and regulations

and how they affect certain people. And they're like, oh, when will you ever need that? When do you ever need that? Let tell you at that moment i was so angry that the state of california put me and my crew in a significant disadvantage with a potential murder suspect who had stuff that was not californ. Could you have just had loaded magazines? Because it doesn't take long to put a mag in. But here's the thing.

So I had AR-15 rifles, and so you're limited to a 10-round magazine, and you have to have a bullet button. So I don't know if you've ever seen those. So a bullet button is a thing that, so the law is written that you can't have a semi-automatic firing rifle that doesn't have a fixed magazine.

So they came up with this bullet button, which is a device that you put on your magazine release, which it just, it makes it so you have to have an Allen wrench or a bullet, so you stick a tip of a bullet into the hole and it will depress the mechanism so you can release the magazine. It's a very cumbersome way

to manipulate your firearm, and it adds a lot of time in the event that you need to do a magazine change. It's part of loading, though? The idea is that you can't quick change a magazine anymore. I see. It's doing the same thing as only giving you magazine change. It's part of loading, though? The idea is that you can't quick change a magazine anymore. I see. It's doing the same thing as only giving you 10 rounds.

It's making you less lethal. I understand. So the loading would be quick, because if you needed more than 10 rounds, you'd have a problem. No, because you no longer have a mag release that you can just tap with your finger. You have a hole there that you have to insert something into.

Now, the idea was that you have to go back to a bench and use a tool, but the way the law is written, everybody just takes a bullet and pops the mag out and puts another one in there. So he's saying quick changing his mag isn't going to be a thing. What I'm trying to ask is, the first 10 rounds though, is...

What I'm trying to get at though is the first shot, right? So, you can't carry a loaded weapon. Can you not just put the magazine in a hurry in there? Because it's otherwise empty, right? There's no magazine at all. Could you load it real quick? No, because in California,

firearms have to be in a locked case for transport. Oh, God. So you have to put it in a hard Pelican case and lock it. Useless. Yeah, no, okay. So if something does go bad, it's just a valuable item for them to steal. I'm thinking it's a sling that you could load

in two and a half seconds. It was so interesting to see the opposite of that in Georgia. There was this guy who murdered his girlfriend and her mother in South Carolina and then ran. Came down Interstate 85 into our hometown and then ran out of gasoline at the elementary school

and abandoned the car there. So they find the car the next morning. So now the manhunt is on. And this is like right next to my dad's farm. And so my dad and all the farmers are up there talking to the deputy and they're like, well, we think he's over there. You know, we've sort of quarantined him off to like 200 acres of that. and like my dad and like four or five farmers got their shotguns and and start and just spread out 50 yards and started going through the woods they ran him out of the fucking woods they ran him out of the woods like ran him out of the field and they got him like they weren't close to catching him or anything but they're but them like going through the woods like drove him out in the open and they caught him damn and the sheriff's

department was like yeah yeah y'all come in from that side and just bang and make a lot of noise and keep your guns with you y'all been deputized i tell you you got buckshot when we got to the end of the road i never drove my truck that like that off-road before i mean we were we were wrecking my truck to get out uh to the main road and i'd never seen anything like it i've never seen this type of people talk about like they'll see a bearcat uh or something like that you know a police force with a bearcat and department of homeland security had that um the um what was that movie with van damme um that they had like the universal soldier like the the semi-truck the homeland security mobile the mobile command station yeah that like comes out and stuff they had they had

atv side by sides bearcats they had i mean this was like one of the biggest police forces i'd ever seen it was it was it was impressive they did right it was impressive they finally get him that day they they that was a thing there was a cabin up on the the ridge there um it wasn't it wasn't really that close to us. They were worried that he was going to flee the cabin and then come down the ridge or something. But I think they ended up killing him in the cabin. The cabin caught fire or something like that. I don't know the details.

I think there was a shootout, right? There was a lopsided shootout. Very lopsided. The only thing I saw was helicopter cam footage. I was like, well, heout. Very lopsided. I mean, the only thing I saw was, like, helicopter cam footage. I was like, well, he's not going to make it. The closest I've ever come to being happy with concealed carry. I was in a, like, a quickie mart, like one of those gas station rest stops or whatever. And two or three guys came in, and they just, they didn't do anything to me.

But they walked around like they own the place in a frightening way loud booming voices knocking shit off shelves talking shit about people in the store you know this woman this like what they were just lawless is how i imagine who was that guy michael brown maybe who like stole the swishers and strong arm robberied the guy for the cigar shortly before the police killed him in ferguson yeah um they acted like that they acted like they were just fucking above everything rule lists that like messing up displays and whatever and i had a gun in my pocket and it was just like you know i'm not starting anything. Are these like young kids? Like teenagers? No. Call them like, I'll just say it. Big, strong, black, maybe 24 to 28.

That's older than I thought. You know what's crazy though? When it comes to concealed carry though, whenever I was younger I had kind of preconceived notions about why you would do it and the people who do it. And I do see people who kind of see it as like a power trip where it's like, oh, I've got this gun, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah. Honestly, it had the exact opposite effect on me. Like I'm like when I carry, it's like like I am a million times nicer to people. I am a million times more of a de-escalator

than if somebody was doing that and they're being loud. I'm like, yeah, how's it going, buddy? They're like, hey, man, how's it going? Oh, no worries. I'm sorry, I'm in your way here, blah, blah, blah. I am like, I'm just a de-escalator. I just don't want to have to get in that situation. Is it a reminder to you that other people could be having a gun in their pocket just like you do?

No, I don't even care. I mean, I probably should, but it's more of an ego check for me. Is it that you don't have to save face when there's a gun in your pocket because that that include that i'm not a perfect person i guess but that somehow impacts my mindset like if if for example i don't know some guy were to come up and bump my shoulder or something and i had no gun that i might be inclined to be like hey but if i have a gun in my pocket it's like i know exactly how this would you almost have a duty to de-escalate because you know what it could evolve into there's that but that's not even where

i was headed where i was headed was like you know he bumps your shoulder and it's like you almost don't have to like prove you're a tough guy because you know there's a fucking gun in your pocket and like if anything there's plausible but have you thought that all the way through though i don't have to be the big man on campus but yeah but you can't can't draw on somebody for bumping into you no but like let's just say hypothetically you've got two options someone bumps you you can either just not say anything and continue shopping for donuts or you can say something and be like hey man what's the scoop with this right if there's a gun in your pocket then there's all in my mind anyway no need to like prove that i could have you know

won that scenario it's already worn between my ears you know like so let's just not play this out whereas if there's no gun in my pocket it's like oh is it am i gonna let this guy bully me you know they call it in gun circus the tiger's smile or something like that. Like, you know, you just look, you know how it would have gone down. Let's not do that. Yeah, I think it depends on the person, really. I think different personalities feed on it, the energy that it brings to a situation differently. feed on it the energy that it it brings to a situation differently for me it like i mean it just it it it makes me more aware of the consequences of a potential situation so it

makes me that much more uh trying to de-escalate in that sense right as much as i talk about it there's some guys who do the whole like this is what i train for how dare you bump my shoulder right uh and that that's not what goes through my head it's it's more like oh there's i don't know like it's pre-one you've got a gun in your pocket you don't need to follow yeah this down this rabbit hole well yeah i know you're a responsible gun owner yeah i think it's like those those those people haven't really thought it all the way through right where it's like i i don't know maybe i'm wrong i mean if if if you if you do get in that situation you're like oh you bump me fuck you you know like hey you got a problem buddy i got a gun in my pocket whatever would you like would you want it to get to that point and even if it did would you be able to justify killing somebody just for

bumping you if you do then that's in my opinion well that never the way it would play out right like so the hypothetical gun in your pocket situation is he bumps you you say hey what's up if he's like what's up is whatever i say is fucking up pushes you again like like obviously it never goes to like hey shoulder bump bang bang like that that's not the scenario the scenario is he continues to escalate no that's what i'm saying though is like so like that is the ultimate escalation of that scenario so why like so i i would just personally say like well it would be like well if somebody does bump you then why would you why would you not de-escalate it? Why would you want to escalate it?

Or potentially be like, fuck you, and, like, try to stay in, you know, like, I don't know. It's like, it's different. No, go ahead. Sorry. I mean, it'd be different if somebody's, like, trying to rob you in the intense right there but then like what if there was an honest mistake and that somebody just didn't see you or bump you or whatever I don't know it's just like I don't know

it's always best to de-escalate if you can but I think just Woody's point is that you are more likely to de-escalate if you have a gun on you because it's like if you get bumped and you don't have a gun on you because it's like if you get bumped and you don't have a gun and you're with your girlfriend or whatever it is like there's an intrinsic like

I need to demonstrate that I'm a man and that this guy isn't going to walk all over me and be like you know hey what's up man like what the hell and then if he goes oh what do you mean what's up faggot and like just gets in a big thing then you've escalated into a real thing but if you have a gun and you get bumped it's more like I have a responsibility as a gun owner to not escalate's more like i have a responsibility as a gun

owner to not escalate and so the girl next to you goes look at that guy he's not being a pussy he's being he knows he has a gun in his pocket and he cannot escalate this because there's no way for it to go well i've had traffic situations where like the guy literally has tried to run me off the road before because he just wants to pass me that bad and he's going to go around through the the on the shoulder and like swerve and almost hit me and part of me wants to stomp on the gas because my car is faster and i but what am i gonna do run him off the road i looked at my girlfriend i was like that guy's an asshole if i were an asshole then this ends with me fucking killing him because i chase him and then he's like pull over buddy and then he gets a bat and then i've got a gun and now i have to

shoot him let's just let him win this this stupid fucking like caveman victory and continue down the road for somebody else is probably going to take care of his ass anyway in driving yeah i i i wasn't always this way but i've evolved into this real like hey we're all same team man we're all just trying to get where we're going without hitting anything oh that's not my are you struggling merging right now? It wasn't when I was 25 either. Are you struggling to merge right now? I got you, bro. You know, like I have a friend who's

like, look at this guy. He needs to merge into traffic. He has neither like made room for the guy next to him or done anything to match traffic speed. Like this guy's just really fucked up. And in my head, I think I've probably been there. I've probably been that guy and driving i'm actually really like you'd like driving with a thousand woodies like it would work out well we'd all be cool and chill and and same team and just

work our way down the road without hitting shit do you listen to music or podcasts when you drive i listen to talk and news almost exclusively. I've got SiriusXM. It's a lot of Stern. Lately, it's been a lot of Jim Norton and Anthony... No, no, who is it? It's not ONA. It's Sam Roberts.

Jim Norton and Sam Roberts. I've been listening to their show a lot. Of course, since Trump is one, CNN, MSNBC is its own entertainment channel. Like, who needs Comedy Central when you can go there? It's been really fun to watch the news go down. I'm strictly

a good mood music guy. That's what I listen to. What kind of music do you like? Whatever puts you in a good mood. It could be an upbeat 99 Problems type song. It could be a Katy Perry thing. Whatever. A Pilda Ibiza. I like that song a lot.

On the flip side, you got that other guy who's driving like an asshole. Let the bodies go! Let the bodies go! If that puts him in a good mood, it's fine. No, he's angry. It might do that, but sometimes when I listen to that, I like that song. Not every mood, but sometimes I do listen to that, I like that song. Not every mood, but sometimes I do.

And yeah, to me, music, like in my head, why would anyone listen to music that doesn't just like improve your mood like a pill would? Every time I get in the car, I put on something that should just make me happier. If I'm listening to music, it's because I want to get into a different mindset. just make me happier if i'm listening to music it's because i want to get into a different mindset not and it's it's never the mindset of you know like what like when i drive around with melissa if i'm in her car obviously she gets to she wants to listen to music more than and if it's my car i like podcasts more because it passes the time faster i think but man even just sitting in the passenger seat when she's like oh we're gonna listen to some marilyn manson or whatever it's like this is just angry and and he's so upset about all of these things.

And I feel like it's going to make us upset about all these things. Like, yeah, you know, the fucking meat industry, man! You know, I'm going to paint myself in fake blood and dress like a woman, you know, to protest! Like, or whatever it was. Like, it's just, I like Pretty Lights. It's an electronic, like,

very, very relaxing band. And then I like muse a lot and muse muse the other day i was trying to turn you on to marty robbins instead i listened to some marty robbins and i really i don't even know these songs i i have a question for the all right so here's the scenario it's summertime it's like 100 degrees out you hop in the car. You're in the passenger seat. Do you fuck with the climate control? Yes. Whose car are we in, first of all? Look, it goes maxed out.

No, I don't mess with anybody else's shit, ever. I don't want to touch anybody else's stuff. But in my car, it's like max everything out. Let's block it. Nobody's in the passenger seat. Let's close those vents so all of the force is coming at me. Like, use all the air conditioner.

I was telling Chiz the other day about this friend of my dad's who's a super wealthy guy. They have, like, a farming empire. Like, it's thousands of acres of, like, corn, wheat, you name it. And they will not run the air conditioning in their Toyota pickup trucks. They roll the windows down no matter how fucking hot it is for the fuel economy. They will not run an air conditioner. And I mean this guy. If I'm in your car,

climate control is a service I offer. I will crank that shit up. If I'm in your car and it's like, this happened to me in the summer a couple of times. I'm in someone else's car and they're like chit-chatting before we get going and I'm sitting in there like a mist of times. I'm in someone else's car and they're like chit-chatting before we get going

and I'm sitting in there like a mistreated dog just like melting. I will turn your shit on. I will crank your AC. I will take total control of all the controls. People are like,

you changed my music. I'm like, no. I'm your DJ, baby. Like I got this covered. We will get this nice. We'll all have a good time. When I'm driving, I tell my pastor usually, especially if it's a girl, I'm like, look, I'm your DJ, baby. I got this covered. We will get this nice. We'll all have a good time. When I'm driving, I tell my pastor usually, especially if it's a girl, I'm like, look, I'm the captain.

You're the commander, though. You have a lot of responsibilities as commander. If we get lost, it's 100% on you because I'm just a fucking pilot up here. I'm Lieutenant Sulu. Think of me that way. You've got to get us there. You get us lost, it's on you. And you should be the DJ as well.

And you've got to entertain me. You can't just pick something and I don't like it. You have to have us there. You get us lost, it's on you, and you should be the DJ as well. You've got to entertain me. You can't just pick something and I don't like it. You have to have a skill. You have to make the driver entertained with your music selection. It's not all about you. Just because you're the passenger, you get to pick the music, but not just any music. You've got to keep everybody happy. You're a DJ now. I don't make a lot of sense with my

climate control. I keep the climate control on like 72, and then I'll screw with people whenever it's like hot or cold out and like i'll just like get going down the road and like turn the seat warmers all the way up or the ac hot seat all the way on yeah we all do that yeah i like that see with like i i do i always get my car too hot like it was not super cold out today but it was cold compared to this year we've had and so i was really chilly it wasn't dressed appropriately and so like maybe three minutes into my car drive like my ass and my back is so hot and just the air coming out is just like i'm working in some like your lips in some furnace my lips are getting chapped my eyes are

dry but like my in my head i'm like yeah but this is way better than the cold and then it's like i just sit there stewing almost sweaty and then if i turn it down to like 76 degrees then you're so conditioned to feel hot that it feels cool coming on you so you get stuck in the in the hot zone the hot seat as i call it starting now let me uh let me slip an ad read in here if winston will let me yes good calling i always like make a mental note like six minutes before the second hour or third hour to be like ads and then 95 of the time this happens and it's like oh well he's fucking forgotten you know like i i late on the car like i have friends who don't like me controlling their climate but i really feel like i do it perfectly you know i just feel like

Did you guys ever do that as kids and you come back and it's lost all of its viscosity and structure? It's not silly anymore. It's just putty.

It's just standard putty. You're trying to lift it up and it's just gross. Don't feel that scrotum feeling ever again. You won't with MeUndies. You won't get that feeling in the middle of the summer. That swampy feeling. You can't put a price on it. Well, they did put a price on it, and it's very reasonable.

The undies. Keep the silly in your scrotum. There it is, tagline. Feel free to use it, no charge. No, the point was to get the silly out of your scrotum. Wait, no, you said that if you put the sun in there, it... We have to prevent the silliness. No, no, the silliness is lost by this bad thing, right?

That's true. We want silly balls. Yeah. You don't want to ever pull your balls out and a girl will go, that's silly. But the silly putty loses its silliness with the sun. So you want to keep the silly in your scrotum. You want to keep silly balls, yeah. I think we've gone off the rails a bit.

What does that underwear look like? It's super, super soft. What kind of um shape is it like boxer shorts or briefs or in between like all they do boxers boxer briefs and uh briefs uh i like the boxer briefs they don't like right up your thigh they uh they just kind of they're kind of clingy and uh almost they're not they're not compression shorts by any mean but um i don't know they're tight and they're fit they're they're like uh form fitting and i like them a lot i really do like i'm not bullshitting if there's some sort of relaxed compression short i guess that's what boxer briefs are right yeah yeah i've replaced all my underwear with now i think i've got eight pair something like that um so yeah i really dig the me on these they're great check them out i had it

i'm sure richard ryan will check it out because he's dude i i guarantee you it's gonna i'm waiting for the sock ad so i'm gonna debate i'm gonna i'm gonna i might have to go me undies and the socks because i haven't done either one of those um oh i've been thinking about getting a motorcycle like, here's the whole thought process. This is like it from beginning to end. So I did this pair of log. And to be honest, like when I was like learning how to paramotor, it wasn't everybody's favorite log. They were excited when they saw me fly for the first time, but that was it. But the, um, the live comm stuff, like I get a lot of good feedback on it and I've done two of them now and I get a lot of good feedback on the second one and I thought to myself like you know this is not that far from what

worked really well for me on YouTube you know it used to be gameplay but I would just talk about it right I talk about it stuff whatever while the gameplay sort of visually stimulates you in the background and then I was like yeah that's that's kind of what I'm doing with this paramotor stuff and that's kind of what the motorcycle guys do all the time they just pick some topic that they rant about with occasional like crazy drivers or whatever to you know intersperse in there and I'm like I could be a moto vlogger and mix that in with the pair of vlogging and that might be fun for me the downside of pair of vlogging mostly is the weather i like here in the fall i feel like the last four days in a row i haven't been able to fly and that makes it tricky

and today i was thinking about flying so i could get a vlog put together on a day that wasn't a good day to it wasn't an ideal day to fly it was i want you instead to put a motocross track in your backyard and get one of those there you go there you go i you here's the thing it's kind of tempting you could call it one of those things the best motorcycle area in the country deals gap is is like the dragon's tail is like is is probably one of the best locations in the country to be able to ride a motorcycle it's so awesome do you know where that's at, Woody? I'm trying to quiet these dogs down. One moment, please.

Oh, you're fine. I don't know where it is. So look it up. It's called Deal's Gap or The Dragon's Tail. And it's just an insane amount of turns in a few miles. And any given weekend, you'll see a ton of motorcycles out there and everything the only thing i would say like i'm i feel like i'm the old man who's like cautionary tale everything like well let's talk about guns but be careful now don't don't even you know this would

be my fourth motorcycle but when i'm where i was going is like I've noticed like in that – so I started a Wingsuit logbook channel. And every jump I do, I log and I just from start to finish upload the video. And I'm not even vlogging in that. Because there's a camera observing, even if it's in the smallest sense possible, it's distracting to some degree. And that comes at that cost, I feel like, oh, Woody, I just don't want to see you get in a motorcycle accident. Because you're like talking and you had a thought and then somebody just like cut you off or something or whatever. You're not wrong. You know, motorcycles are dangerous and

they're mostly dangerous because of the actions of other people right that's yeah that's the typical accident somebody else does something and then of course the motorcyclist pays yeah in my head i kind of mitigate that like oh but then days like today i wouldn't be tempted to fly when i could just hit the bike and you know It would be an ordinary motorcycle day. Clear skies, beautiful out, just a little breezy. Super interesting. Yeah. I guess part of it is I've been enjoying motorcycle vlogs too. That makes me inspired to do them.

I don't know. We'll see how it works out. Right now, Jackie's in the no plan. Google it though. Deal's Gap or The Dragon's Tale. You'll enjoy it. Even cars go out there. There's a place in it? Yeah, I Dragon's Tail. You'll enjoy it. Even cars go out there. There's a place in it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know about that. I've driven it several times. Oh, awesome. Yeah, yeah. So, it's a wonderful place to meet up with dudes just to cruise. It's just far. I want to call it four or five hours from here.

It's not like you just pop on over there and like you know drive around so but uh yeah it is good it's something did you already say this i was trying to try quiet the dogs like it's hundreds of turns and so many miles it's like yeah it's crazy it's just super turning yeah but uh but yeah anyway i've been thinking about getting a motorcycle i kind of want one jackie kind of doesn't want me to get one and that has been Yeah. But yeah, anyway, I've been thinking about getting a motorcycle. I kind of want one. Jackie kind of doesn't want me to get one. And that has been buzzing around in my head, too.

I'm like, should she be able to say I can't have one? Is that like, where's healthy in this thing? This is so many steps back from a paramotor that I think that you can say, ah, if you will check the record, Jackie, you will notice that a precedent was set in March of last year that you let me get a flying machine, seeing as how this is lesser on that document of danger, so to speak. I should be able to get this, no problem. Statistically, it's higher.

If you have a paramotor, don't mention that to her. Yeah, there's nobody to run into up there. That's the difference. Yeah, just's nobody to run into up there. That's the difference. Just the ground. I actually know someone. 318 curves in 11 miles in the Cherokee National Forest. Y'all.

I won't mention names in this, because it's like in the paramotor community, kind of on the down low, but there are two people, men. One guy was launching, and another guy had sort of all the down low but there are two people men one guy was launching and another guy like had sort of all the time in the world to just sort of like go left and casually not and i'm not sure what the thought process was but instead he went right and kind of smashed him uh go left in the in his own paramotor or he was on the ground they're both flying one guy's just launching

and the other guy had been flying. So and then as he sees the other person launching, he could have done like a casual sort of steer out of that area. Or he could have done an aggressive, like maybe try to cut behind them or I don't know what the thought process was. But rather than do the casual, leave that space that you'd want, he did the other. And the guy who got hit went down the other person i'm not sure but i know that he was fine so i think he might have flown on but the launcher fell out of the sky and uh when i first heard the story i'm like oh yikes you know like you know what happened he spent months relearning to walk and uh it's like it really how high was he up there when when the collision happened i don't know but from like the tone and vibe of the story

i get between like 30 and 60 feet you know something like that and uh um it's like so now like whenever i look around it's like how dare you be in my space? Come on. I'm just going straight here. You need an air horn up there. The one time in a safe space is pretty valid. Right? You just realized, like, the thing that a lot of people don't understand about skydiving-related injuries and fatalities, the bulk majority of them don't come from skydiving or wingsuiting.

They come from canopy piloting. It's like once they're already under canopy, either collisions and stuff along those lines, malfunctions and things along those lines. And that's honestly, everyone's like, oh, you wingsuit. That's so crazy, man. I am like, I am, I am the biggest sissy. I am such a chicken when it comes to stuff like, like, uh, skydiving is like you jump. Like when, when you're getting enough jumps to be able to wingsuit,

you do different types of disciplines of skydiving. So there's free flying. That's the head down, sit, stand flying and stuff like that. And then there's relative work or belly flying where people like do like formations and they'll like, you know, they'll do like a circle or a star and then they'll uh they'll break off at a designated altitude say 5 000 feet will break off well when you're on your belly

you turn and then you just track away you don't get a crazy amount of distance away from each other compared to when you're wingsuit and you say hey we're gonna break off at 5 000 feet cool i'm gonna fly like 2 000 feet away from you because i'm in a wingsuit i can and and that's the thing is like skydiving and stuff like that all those dudes they get under canopies and they do these big formations like hey do you want to be a part of this world record not really i don't want to fly with a bunch of people i don't know because that increases the chances of there being some type of canopy error and people are like oh you know we'll plan we'll do this yeah but you don't know how

many people react differently under pressure or do stupid things like that turning late it's not hard to find five good pilots but if you want to break a world record, you have to find all the pilots. And lesser skilled guys must slip in. You know, some guy who's some guy's friend. Yes. I mean, that comes to your situation. It's like me being the casual wingsuiter at the drop zone. You know, I'll go there and maybe there's a new guy that wants to wingsuit with us.

Okay, cool. Well, if that dude starts flying like an idiot, chances are he doesn't know how to wingsuit. So I'll, I will, I will pop up on him and I'll fly above him and just keep my distance and I'll break off in flight as far away from that dude. And I'll never fly with him again. But for you, like, yeah, if you're, yeah, if you're trying to launch in a public area, you definitely want to be on the lookout for these guys. You don't even know who they are and stuff along those lines. That's the kind of things that worry me because it's not so much me. I've been in scenarios before where I was like, okay,

I handled the stress pretty well and I kept my wits about me. I was, I used the, the moment to become more focused and not lock up. And so I'm not too worried about me, but the other people are the big X factor, huge X factor. That lock up thing. Like, so I've been in scenarios where i thought i was brave right like bored my people to death now with all the lifeguard stories but that's like real dangerous stuff and i got out there and i was the best version of me my house has been robbed face the guy whatever best version of me um lots of motorcycle like close calls and whatnot where i acted appropriately tell me tell me tell me tell me one. Oh, well, Chuck said one time

it was the first time I had ever driven in the cold morning and I didn't have gloves on or anything because I'm young and I'm dumb. And I get up to 90 miles an hour or something like that and my hands don't work. Like I literally can't extend my fingers. Everything's just frozen and it's not going. So I'm hitting the, all I can do is use the foot brake.

I go across some guy's front yard, like into his garden and stuff. but i kept it all cool and i finished like a foot and a half from his front porch and just kind of got out of there and uh and drove on on my own and then there's been like other people who are bad drivers you know like it's you know when you drive you've probably had a situation where you stomped on the brakes and avoided an accident. In a motorcycle, you know, you clap the clutch, you let go, you use the foot brake, you use the hand brake. And, like, all that happens at once on instinct. And I've done it well.

But in a paramotor, I've had issues. Like, I'll say my second flight, the motor went out. I am over a landing strip. And people have seen this on video. I'm over a landing strip. My motor goes out. And I don't have any ideas. Like, I don't know on video. I'm over a landing strip. My motor goes out and I don't have any ideas. Like I'm, I don't know what the fuck I'm going to do. Fortunately, my instructor had a radio on me and he's like, all right, this is fine. We're

going to land right here. And I'm like, ah, clever, clever. I didn't even think of that. You know, it, heck it wasn't long ago, probably five flights ago or something. Um, my buckles were wrong and it, the buckles were wrong. And the buckles were wrong in such a way. There's just one was routed in front instead of behind. So when you land, you slip out and you're kind of suspended by these buckles. And it was in such a way that my wing was kind of like tilted. I'm a good enough pilot to handle this. And all you need to do is compensate on the brakes and such as you land and handle it. But I got spooked a little bit. And I landed on my feet, but it wasn't as smooth as I thought it was.

And I didn't realize the problem was my buckles were wrong. I thought it was that the strap couldn't slide past my keys. So next flight, I leave the keys in the house. Same thing, though. The buckles are making it so that my leg straps are supporting me unevenly. Which, of course, makes you kind of weight shift, which makes you turn. And this time I'm like, all right, Woody. You wanted a rematch, you know?

Like, we're about to fucking do this. And this time we're going to kill it. And I did. I just, I came in gliding in like a butterfly with sore feet. But it's on my mind that, like, all right, you know, it seems like you're still gathering experience, Woody, because you did get spooked the time before this. And, you know, there'll be something that happens next time,

and you need to be the best version of you every time. Like, stop getting spooked. You're, whatever, 40-some flights in. But I'm still working on it, I guess, if I'm honest. your whatever 40 some flights in but i'm still working on it i guess if i'm honest yeah i think that comes with a little bit of um uh time and experience and those those scenarios i mean i think you've kind of imprinted on yourself the consequences and the situation um i'm much improved in that whole formula just not done improved i mean i that's my own evaluation you know yeah dramatically improved i mean like the motorcycle thing is is interesting for me because i really like i don't

know a whole lot about like the um the procedures for for paramotoring but like the motorcycle thing is interesting because like uh i i like listening to the guys tell me about motorcycle stories because i've had a few myself and i used to race bikes and um I had a few scenarios where you always you bust people's balls if they slide out in a corner or something like that because they went too hard and then just gave it too much rear and I've been in a few of those situations that's why I always like wonder if guys like they break that down like I had this one scenario where this trailer pulled out and in front of me and like it turned out onto the road. And there was another car coming.

So I had no options and I had to brake really hard. And so I'm hammering down on the rear and the front brake. And so the bulk majority of your stopping power is going to come from your front brakes because the two larger rotors. And I feel, yep. the bolt majority of your stopping power is going to come from your front brakes because the two larger rotors um and i feel yep and i feel the the rear end start to break so the tires starting to slide a little bit and so i start tapping off of the brake and uh the rear end starts coming up and so i feel the rear end and the the subframe starting to push up on my butt and everything so I start arching back and I'm starting to come up into an endo so I give it I give it more going back and um yeah I mean I ended up getting right up onto uh their their tailgate on that uh that trailer and everything and then the bike fell back down and i was like wow like all that all

that happened probably within two seconds max and it's like you probably had like a thousand different micro thoughts just going on firing and it's really interesting to see how people they they they use that energy to hyper focus or are they just like i can empathize to that is like if i'm on my phone and i'm like walking down a big flight of stairs and i like start to trip at the top and you kind of like stop paying attention to your phone and you almost like sprint horizontally down the stairs for like four steps to like catch your legs up to your body and then i get that feeling of like oh i almost made a real fucking ass of myself like oh just and you know i so i what i'm saying is i i get it one of the dangers i had a i was on a motorcycle i met a red light and i met a red light for a while call it a minute doesn't matter just you know like fully stopped

waiting and then it turns green and like a beat goes by and I start to go and I only go like a foot or two and I see a bus coming and I hit the brakes. I just lock up. I didn't do anything special, but because I just started, you stop immediately and the bus comes zooming by. He couldn't have been two feet from me. He might have been one. And it was like a like a city transit bus that missed me by a foot because it ran a red light. And that's sort of the like damn you know now of course you can minimize your odds by looking both ways at a

green light but i didn't and i nearly got hit and you know it would have not been my fault but it would have been my problem so that's motorcycles yeah but i want well you should get one i think what do you ride what kind of bikes do you ride i don't have one at the moment i've had a i had a honda interceptor 6200 that would be a big bike that'd be like a truck engine i had a honda interceptor 500 i had ahawk 250, and a Ducati 907i. Okay. In that order. Yeah, there was a time when I didn't have a car.

I just drove my motorcycle everywhere I needed to go. And I lived in New Jersey. It was cold. Is that the style of bike that you would go for now? You'd go for like a... You'd go for a bike in New Jersey? That sounds fucking horrible. Oh, yeah, for years. Like every single ride isn't just, oh, it's going to be 20 minutes.

It's, all right, do I have my first coat, second coat, third coat, first hat, second hat, third hat? I need the helmet for warmth. And then, you know, you hop on there and you just shiver your way to your destination. Dude, I drive to school and it'd be, like, not even raining out. It'd be, like like icing out, right? And my mom had this great idea that like cowboy boots were somehow both fashionable and like protective in a slide. The thing is there's nothing worse than cowboy boots in the snow. There's nothing worse. I mean, I'm like this.

But you do that. No dread. I mean, I'm the slightest of tiny inclines. Like hand on foot on my knees because I can't go anywhere And these are like public places like the university parking lot. Oh, yeah And it's just like look at this fucking idiot You know what you're having to do? I bet you were having to do it because I've been in situations where my feet are too slippery and I like with dress shoes

And you go out and it's snow and you have to get back to your car or whatever and you have to almost and then you go out and it's snow and you have to get back to your car or whatever. And you have to almost goose step your way back to your car like a Nazi to get that big dig in from the key. You have to go like that back to your car and you look like a dick. I wish I thought of that. That's what you have to do. That's why you need your concealed carry when you're goose stepping back to your car on a Thursday. My bike was uphill.

No, no, no. It's my shoes. My shoes are slippery. My shoes are slippery my shoes are slippery in jeans i'm literally crawling like a baby in jeans because the shoes were too slippery it couldn't be done and it's very i was embarrassed but it was like what the fuck like it was also embarrassing to slide back down the hill on your feet like you're wearing skis and uh and then of course i would ride my motorcycle on that same dirt. But that I was good at. Walking in the snow I was bad at.

So, yeah, I've got a lot of hours on a motorcycle. But they're all old. So what would I get now? Ah, shit. Some sort of naked, sporty-ish type thing. Like a Kawasaki Versys. I think KTM makes a 650 like the Duke. I was looking at a... I'm trying to remember the other one in my head i forget

but um i've always had sport bikes myself uh i mean i did have like one cruiser uh it was like a cb 750 um but i uh i like here recently i was like i kind of wanted a super moto just to rip around the city on um just because I think it'd be fun like uh like the DRZ uh 400s like the super motos uh they're like dirt bike hybrids they're more they're more dirt bike but you put like the the street profiles on them and they're just so much fun so much fun to rip around on but i think it's called a versus the versus 650 there's an inexpensive one in my area right now i'm like i could do that it's uh have you ever seen those a little more streaky than a dual sport have you seen the kawasaki klr 650 yeah that those things are so fucking cool if If you want one, let me know. How much?

I don't know. I'll find out. I would love to know how much. So my FFLs and FEL and everything's tied to our shop is a power sports dealership. So we sell Polaris and Kawasaki. I'm looking for one of the old military ones. That's what I'm talking about. Oh, you're wanting a used one. Okay. Yeah, yeah. I want one of those things that runs on ones. That's what I'm talking about. Oh, you're wanting a used one. Okay. Yeah, yeah.

I want one of those things that runs on diesel. The Dakar Rally style? Yeah, I think I found a... Let's see. Do you sell motorcycles? I don't know. But all my stuff's in a shop. Oh, okay.

I see. To manage a power sports dealership is like Yamaha Kawasaki, and then now it has Polaris. I'm talking about that bad boy. That like some Mad Max shit yeah yeah that would be so much fun to like mess around around the farm and then uh I would I would like that a lot I saw I saw that a while back and I was fascinated by you know a military bike like that I think I think I think what I saw was that Tom Cruise movie where like, oh, what is it? It's where he's like, it's him and a woman. They're like the last people on earth and they're like monitoring the robots or whatever.

But he's riding this futuristic white motorcycle and I think it's based off of one of these. I think that's how I got into the search for Spike. Or is that the Will Smith movie? No, that wasn't it. That was the Will Smith movie that that was just i'll find the name of it dude i started with dual sport in my head like that's that's where the original idea came from but i thought about it and i'm like i feel like you have to live out west to have a lot of dirt that you can drive on like out there there's tons of land you just go to the mountains

or some like bureau of land management space and you can fuck around on the dirt. Here, the only dirt belongs to somebody's farm. That or power lines, which are not that legal. Yeah, but you just need one friend with a farm. That's the same farm. I don't know. To me, the perfect use for this is like as an adventure bike where you go from the highways. Out there in New Mexico on that blm land like

you're talking about like it would be so cool to take this thing out with a small backpack you know with some water and stuff and know that you've got enough fuel for all day and just go out there and explore i mean you can drive for hours in one direction and it's just more new mexico desert it's just it's cool out there yeah that that would be a perfect use for that and that's where I started with my mindset what should I get? I should get a dual sport because I think they're between my ears probably the coolest thing and then it was like alright let's try and make it

I guess a little more practical because I don't see myself finding much time in the dirt yeah super motos really are more street even though they're a dirt bike uh frame but you can you can rip them off road if you wanted to um that's that's a picture of one there yeah that's really cool that looks nice i wish i could find like a used one that the marines had

used and was really shitty and and just build it back with spare parts. We're working on a 67 Chevelle right now. Hey, that would be a fun trip. You guys did that camping trip. You guys should do a bike rally. You guys should go do an off-road biking trip, load up some off-road motorcycles and do like a baja or something like that dude for like a week pushed for that several times at the time i was the only guy excited about it i don't know it sounds like kyle's got more interest than he used to um and you can mix the camping

i don't think he has any more interest based on that frantic eye darting you You know, it would depend on the scenario. Like, I would like to be... It's just as important what we're driving as where we're driving. Like, if we were somewhere that I wanted to be anyway, doing stuff... Coast to Mexico?

Yeah, sure, maybe. You know, down there on the wall site. Maybe do a little riding around down there. Or in Colorado. The wall site. I didn't understand your words at first. I'm like, where? If that

wall ever gets built, it would have to look good. Nobody wants some eyesore. If an illegal immigrant comes and sees it, we don't want them to be dejected. More of like, oh wow, this is a really cool wall. I'm just going to file my paperwork and then wait, I guess. like that'll be like a route 66 style thing to drive along the wall if uh aside from all the parts that are just empty and fence i don't

know if everyone thinks this but i grew up by the trump casinos right the taj mahal the trump tap not the tower i forget the name of his different casinos. But Trump owned like two to four casinos in Atlantic City. I don't remember how many. And while most people I think now think of him as a New York City real estate mogul or one in general, for me, he's the casino guy because that's who he was when I lived there. And I still picture the wall having flashing lights, blinking in such that it looks like they're going somewhere. Trump in

either neon lights or in like cheap gold spray paint. Yeah, because those are the options. And I just picture the wall with like lights and it should say Trump every tenth of a mile. He said it was going to be a big beautiful wall and it was going to have a big beautiful door in it so they could come through legally.

He also said it was a fence. He's like, it's going gonna have a big beautiful door in it so they come through legally he also said it was a fence yeah he's like it's gonna have a big beautiful door right in the middle of it they can come through legally well that's a good plan i like the door we don't need to spend all this money on a wall when a very long moat would do just as well is it cheaper oh it's much cheaper to dig a hole than to make a wall or a pole or something. You're making a lot of sense here. You can't tunnel under a moat. You send a couple million dollars

to Cambodia. They send us their most dangerous crocodiles. Put them in the moat. To get underneath that fucking moat. And you put some wild animals in there. Yeah, the sappies. Bunch of British guy with those pan hats like shoveling underneath this thing.

Those Mexicans will never get under there. Cambodia's not sending their best crocodiles. They're sending their dangerous crocodiles. Their worst of the crocodiles. Yes, we want Cambodia's worst crocodiles. I would support a moat, and I think if we could get that to Mr. Trump, he would as well.

He would get it done ahead of schedule and under budget. Now he's way too garish and gaudy to go along with a moat. He'd be like, well, where is my name going to go on the moat? He can't write my name on the moat. How is anyone at the end of 2300 going to possibly know that Donald Trump had something to do

with the construction of this wall unless it is labeled every 60 feet? As I've discovered, there's an appropriate amount to have it there. I've spoken to a lot of people about this with the construction of this wall, unless it is labeled every 60 feet. As I've discovered, it is the appropriate amount to have it there. I've spoken to a lot of people about this, a lot of very smart, very intelligent people. I respect all of them. You would too. He'll do studies like Disney did with trash cans, right? People will hold a piece of trash, an average of like 12 feet. So they put trash cans every 25 feet so that you're never more than 12 feet from one.

He'll do that. People can see 60 feet. It's got to say Trump every 60 feet. They'll be covered. I wonder what's our future. The billionaire who keeps winning every time he says he will. Stop counting him out. He's going to do it.

You're talking to the guy who bet against, well, not bet, but chose against Conor McGregor. I'm obviously not smart yeah those um oh something with trump like people are giving him way too much credit for this carrier thing oh i don't like the deal with that do you know anything so the carrier thing like it came out and it's like oh i'm saving a thousand jobs and it's like okay well let's wait and see how these jobs were saved because what you know and even like conservative people are rallying behind it being like oh whatever this is good you know he's already keeping promises

but then it's like no it wasn't a good like basically what happened is carrier is in indiana mike pence obviously governor of indiana trump president elect, has a lot of power to basically threaten companies. They offered a few million dollars as a tax cut for Carrier, but Carrier's parent company has like $6.77 billion in federal contracts. And so obviously they were like, no, we're not going to do that. We don't need that little pittance. And so Trump went to them and said, hey, wouldn't that be a shame if all those federal contracts went away if you shipped jobs out of Indiana? And they went, oh, you know, when our big multinational conglomerate is way bigger than just carrier. So, yeah, just keep those carrier employees there. We can siphon some money or whatever to put it over there. to put it over there. That's just that you can't be in favor of that and also be someone who's like, oh yeah, but when Obama bailed out the auto industry, that was really ridiculous. It's like, no, that was the same thing. You were threatening businesses, crony capitalism, uh, corporatism, and basically having the government pick favorites. And that's not good. Like what you want is for him

to go, Hey, all these businesses, taxes, including carriers competition, all of your taxes lower. That enables you to keep your business here because you're able to afford it. You know, that's what you want. What you don't want is someone going in like Trump and saying, hey, carrier, you get a bunch of these taxes, all this special treatment, and you keep these jobs here. You know, and everybody will go, oh, carrier, you know, good for them. Good for, you know, Trump for doing that. Nobody cares about all the Carrier competition, who is now like, oh, are you fucking kidding me?

How are we supposed to compete in this realm of heating and air conditioning production or whatever when you're giving clear favoritism to one company? So it's like, you, like, I just don't get... I think it was a campaign... Can I just kind of work out a thought with you guys? Because this is a little weird for me, but I don't really have an opinion on this. But I feel like a lot of people are very firm in their opinions and beliefs of like, say, oh, yes, capitalism.

Or, yeah, no, we need free tuition in colleges or whatever. Everyone is very passionate about these issues but don't necessarily fully understand them right when it comes to the firearms industry i'm so ingrained in regulation and understanding it as far as like the legal aspects like it's hard it's hard for somebody to have a biased opinion and really like have this conversation with me and try to convince me otherwise but here recently i've been trying to like wrap my head around where does the country go in the future right as far as the economy's concern i just went up to ford and did this um this thing up there uh filming a bunch of videos um for rated red where we went and did some stuff at the truck the dearborn truck plant and everything and i've just been in so much in my world that i haven't really paid attention

to things outside of like elon musk right when it comes to tesla and everything else like oh autonomous cars or cars have like uh parking assist and stuff like that. Oh, okay, things are moving along in the world of autonomy. Drones, whatever, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. When I went to Ford, I was blown away. They have vehicles, drone vehicles, that will drive from station to station. And they have camera sensors and everything. So they're not just like on a track they're freely moving around the facility and and navigating around other vehicles moving

and stuff and they'll transport their trailer to another station that has raw materials and a machine will take and load that stuff onto there and it'll drive around the plant to another one where another machine will pick up the supplies and put it on a thing where it's being moved to create uh whatever part and everything and all this stuff with black mirror and west world and everything else with like technology going as fast as it is like it's like how does how does the world keep up with the pace of it and i see this stuff like here recently the fight for 15 stuff in california and in new york and everything and i feel like all this stuff is is coming together in this one big um issue that we have potentially

in the future when it comes to automation versus like jobs like like people doing jobs. And I know certain things like Magpul, when they left Colorado because of the regulation of the 30-round magazines, they legalized weed, and they had this whole new industry that spurred up, and it's like, oh, we got plenty of money now. Who cares about those few jobs?

We just created all these other jobs. And I understand that there is give and take here and there, but at some point, there is going to be a breaking point. So is a form of socialism, like a living wage, actually a good thing? Have you seen the video, It's the Future? It has to be. Has everyone here seen it?

What's that? Humans Need Not Apply. Have you guys seen that video? I haven't, no. I wish we could watch it, but it's like 18 minutes long. And it's amazing. It's by C.P.G. Gray, and he talks about automation. And if I could sum it up in 30 seconds, he talks about horses first and says,

like, look, you know, every time one of these machines came along, horses' jobs got easier until eventually horses were put out of work. You know know at first it seemed cool these are the cushy city jobs with only things left and now there's just pretty much nothing we do that we can't do better without horses you know atvs cars etc and he says that's where humans are going there's going to be a point where humans need not apply and one of the first big things is driving which you mentioned driving i forgot where i got this stat from so call it my ass a huge percentage of jobs is transportation three million truck drivers it's like 40 of jobs

and you might and truck drivers is a big part of it like you said but there's other jobs that are considered driving and those people operate pilots bus drivers forklifts all sorts of warehouse type jobs um you know the guys who take the the little trolley things around to get luggage from your plane. There are lots of jobs that are driving, farming, that you might not think of as driving jobs. So that's like 40% of the jobs and it's ready to be automated in a hurry. Shucks, if there was some national push to it, you'd think we could get it done by 2020. And then 40% of our jobs are gone, right? And it won't be that fast, but, you know, work with me. And then he goes on to talk about how it's not just that,

that computers are learning and they get so good at this that soon they'll replace our lawyers, our creative people, our this, our that. And he's like, at one point, like halfway through the video, spoiler, he's like, this song you've been listening to is background music the whole time was written by a computer and you're like oh fuck really like music okay and uh um so anyway it kind of tied in with what you were saying like wow you know we're entering an area of tech now where like it seems like tons of jobs are going to get automated out of existence like like lots and lots of jobs. And I don't have a solution for it.

I totally understand that, and I think that will happen to some extent. But then there's other examples like in 1650 or whatever, 95% of people were farmers. That's just what your job was. You were a farmer. In 1850 or 1890, whatever, the Industrial Revolution is happening. Now, 30, 40% of people are farmers. You get to 1930, it's way more efficient. 1940, even more efficient. Soon in the 50s and 60s, you're done here. We're done farming. I'm retired. They moved into different avenues. They started new lines of work.

They started working with computers, which wasn't a thing. They started – Yeah, devil's advocate though. Yeah. Devil's advocate though. I mean you like – I thought I was being devil's advocate right there. Well, back then – well, I'm just trying to work out the thoughts, right? Like I'll play pros and cons to any argument.

I just want to try to work an opinion out, right? Can I add to Taylor's argument? Because I want to jump in real quick. Well, that's what I was going to say. It's like in the 1800s, a farmer could still provide for his family, right? Because even if he didn't have that money coming in necessarily, the consequences for disrupting an industry wasn't nearly as significant as disrupting an industry now

we're like i mean to an extent right i don't know what do you mean by disrupting an industry well like if you if you put if overnight like with uh well it wouldn't be overnight it'd be over a few years but if you put all the truck drivers out of business or whatever, right? There's a difference. Somebody who lives in an apartment in a city, they're very limited in the amount of time that they have to develop new skill sets to adapt to the workplace. And going from a living wage of X amount of money, be it $40,000 a year,

to jumping down to working at McDonald's in Georgia for $7 an hour is a significant drop. And if they have debt or whatever life choices, that can make for a really volatile economy. I learned about this in college. So the example they used for us there, which was so simple it made a lot of sense to me, was fishermen, right? So you've got, you've got whatever, 12 people on a deserted island and they fish with spears, right? So eight of those 12 people are just stabbing fish all day long, right? Some guy comes along and he invents the net. And now one guy can do what the eight would do previously. Are seven people unemployed? No, they go to new industries. They start making huts. They start making shoes. They start doing whatever.

That's what happened when the farmers got unemployed, right? Did farmers just, like, was that the stop of it? No. This population of people that used to be focused on growing food became focused on other things. And they built cities and electricity and, you know, who knows what. You might say, oh, they could never be retrained to do electricity. But there's jobs there for them. You know, people can pull cables and figure knows what. You might say, oh, they could never be retrained to do electricity, but there's jobs there for them. You know, people can pull cables and figure it out.

So when these truck drivers... You're saying 40% of, say, the U.S. works, 300 million people, that's 120 million people out of work looking for jobs. That's an extremely competitive... It is, but it sounds like like 95 were farmers it was even worse at one point and and kyle's point there scares me too like there's nothing for them to do like is he right because that's because because here's the thing as the automation continues

all of a sudden your muscles are worth nothing and all of a sudden your brain is worth less too because the machine can now do that as well you You're going to have to go through a Star Trek-style utopian society where there is a basic living wage for all of the citizens. And if you're a citizen who wants to go above and beyond and do this business, if you want to become – I like Star Trek as my example. I always say they've got a perfect system. We're just not evolved enough to use it yet. The captain's father wanted to open a restaurant. He had to petition the government like, hey, I'm a pretty good chef, I've got

this business plan, and then they give him the credits. They just give them to him to start his business. Holy shit, that's fucking terrifying. You have to requisition the government for the ability to start a business at that level? Well, you could deal with the Ferengi, but who wants to do that? They're a tricksy bunch. I don't know what that

is. I don't know what that means. They're the ones with the big ears. They're the genius. I mean, what about incentives and stuff like that? One way this could play out that's scary to me is you could have a society of have and have-nots, right? So let's do this. Let's take everything and make it cheaper because we've automated driving, right? Now all of a sudden transportation is next to free and warehouse work and everything just gets easy to buy you know in the same way that like

offshoring made things cheaper so now 40 of the population is unemployed do we have a collection of people with servants and people that are servants when you have a have and have not society probably yeah maybe maybe it's like zardoz and we end up with a really evolved class of society and then we've got the brutes who are living off and being manipulated off to the side maybe the Morlocks yeah there you go well that's the time machine movie

right it was just a word I recognized I don't know I thought it was implied so I threw it out there yeah the Morlocks were underground and like the people up top were like the Sleaselows no the Sleastacks. That's what we're down. That's where we're underground.

Yeah, those were fucking scary. I just caught up now. Or maybe you got a future where some sort of EMP weapon goes off. We all go back to an agrarian-style economy where everybody's muscles are now worth three times as much as they were before, and that balances the world back out. We're going to get reset at some point. We've been on this nice incline for

so, so long and it's so fucking steep. We're going to get knocked down a peg at some point. We just have to. It's never happened throughout all of human history. Sure it has. Look at the demonic plague. The Dark Ages? I mean, there's been bad periods of time. Roman Empire, right?

Yeah, sure. It started with the fall of the Roman Empire, and that's when the Dark Ages began, and you've got all these medieval jackobs fighting for territory and fiefdom. Meanwhile, the Arabs are over there curing bubonic plague and learning astronomy and algebra. Like, yeah, I was going to say, at that same time, you mentioned the Arab world.

Like, China was doing shit. Like, they weren't totally crumbled to the bubonic plague or anything i think they came from china or it might have like on some sort of caravan or something it had something to do with china maybe perhaps the spices i don't know it was fleas on rats on boats that was what spreading it around and you know tens of millions of people from from different countries throughout time it took us a long time to figure out the bubonic plague. Bring out your dead! I just feel like people just get so caught up in their day-to-days right now. I'm sure there's plenty of people that talk about this in general conversation,

but I feel like those should be initiatives. We should be figuring out these incentives and stuff like that for people to either pick up trash and do community service or whatever these things are to help out and and just start these whatever they are i don't know because i think i don't like too many people about the the guaranteed income or whatever is that like just thinking like chain of thought like once it's implemented most people when they're given resources are going to choose not to go pursue something. So if you're given an amount that you can live on, a lot of people are just going to use that. And, of course, if you say, all right, now everybody's going to vote.

Who's going to vote for more living wage? Everybody votes for more living wage, aside from a relatively small contingent of people who are trying to really build stuff up and eventually the scary part is first of all for all this you have to give a centralized government a huge amount of power and then if that government ever turns full corrupt or something they can just siphon back all of those

resources because they control every single person's ability to purchase, eat, drink to an extent or at least a large percentage of the population. I disagree with your central premise, though. It just seems like it could be dangerous. Of what?

The notion that human wants are not insatiable, right? That's like a fundamental economic premise, that human wants are insatiable. So that means that people are never satisfied with what they have, right? The first thing you laid out there is like, all right, if I give a guy, and I'm inserting numbers, $25,000 a year, enough to live on but not enough to live well then most people will stop right there we turn his living wage off this at the point where he makes 26 grand a year right so like it's what i'm thinking is you're just going to get in the scenario where not everyone of course but just human nature is going to produce this percentage of the population that makes the system not work

it's like well 28% of these people aren't even turning the electro wheels we gave them. They're not even to produce electricity. Yeah, they're cool. They're cool yanks or whatever. They're Rick and Morty. That's what it's going to have to go to. That's going to be your fucking job

is peddling an exercise bike all day because that's all you're going to be good for. You're going to be a battery. But what's the alternative, right there is no if there is no living wage or whatever the alternative is we get to that point of full of full well you get to the point of full autonomy uh in certain industries uh or really efficient autonomy um and then you have these corporations these big you know umbrella corporations that have like you know like there's like three pharmaceutical companies that have all the smaller ones there's like you know all these big groups and industries and then they're just

gonna they're gonna have everything autonomous so there'll be an even smaller 1% of people with that great amount of income. So then it's completely just out of balance. So if your point is that basically that will result in all of the corporate power, so to speak, being relegated to a few top companies because basically if you're a layman like me or you, you're going to go, well, I got my basic income. Do I want to start a small business? Well well i have no fucking chance of that taking off like i i can't compete in this climate like there's just no way there's no way richard's a layman i don't know he just had like three or four jobs for as long as i've known him like for forever this guy doesn't make less than half a

million ever him in with me is very unfair than than richard ryan i just mean i meant layman as compared to like j and j or p and g or like those big big companies that already control like the entire detergent aisle and shit i'm but i'm 99 sure richard ryan's rich as fuck but still only wears free t-shirts like i i i have to tell you guys a story i'll tell it right now i'll tell it right now um um so one of the guys um uh uh black baker he's like uh he's he's one of my buddies from um kill cliff and he introduced me to like these different athletes uh andy stump who's a uh wingsuit pilot um uh aaron levoy who's uh the lumberjill champion and everything and he was he was just talking about how frugal i am about uh things because he was like he's like you work more than anybody

i know yet why why do you do it and I I kind of like stemmed it down to like you know whenever I was living in LA like I was at the point of like sleeping in my truck and um you know I I never wanted for anything as a kid but I've always like you know we we we didn't have extravagant things growing up I never never wanted for anything. My mom busted her ass and, uh, I love her to death. And that's what drives me. Cause I look back and I see the sacrifice that she made and being able to provide so that we could have clothes and food on the table and everything. So, um, but whenever I was like really, really not hard up for cash, but I mean, I was, when I was doing stand-up I would I would count my change

so that I could get enough gas to get to La Cienega so that I could walk the mile up to the comedy store to do my sets and stuff I mean I was like I was really like counting my pennies and now like I just I I always feel like the carpet's going to be pulled out from underneath me so I'm just trying to make sure that I'm planning for the next thing. Because I feel that my skill sets of whatever it is that I do in the digital world isn't really, like, something that people will be able to put on a resume. And 10 years from now, I'll be like, oh, yes, I will hire you because of that. So I'm trying to save money and everything. But anyways, long story longer, I was like, I was wanting to buy an espresso machine for

everyone at the office, right? Because I just went to the coffee company, Black Rifle Coffee in Salt Lake, and we have an espresso machine there. And it was so good. I was hooked on it for like a week so so i get back here and they're not cheap they're not cheap i was gonna buy like a black friday deal a single group one and it was it was it was fairly it was expensive people want to know 1700 bucks okay 1700 bucks and i was like uh i i ended, I ended up pulling the trigger on it.

And I woke up at like 1 o'clock in the morning in a cold sweat. And I woke up in a cold sweat. I was nauseous. I opened up my phone. I was like, fucking cancel. Did you cancel it? You know, you can get a little espresso machine that takes the K-cups, and it's

like a hundred bucks. It doesn't taste, it's not as fresh. Richard, if I took $1,700 from your bank account, you wouldn't notice. It's a rounding error for you. It's not even that. Honestly, honestly, it's not even that honestly honestly it's not even that it's that i don't know like because of like for legal reasons i probably won't go into it but like you

know my employment is uh based off of a contract with my employer here in nashville and that contract is coming up um to its term not necessarily renegotiation, but renewing. And I don't necessarily know if I will be here in a few months and not having that security of being here. I'm like, this is not a good long-term investment. I see. So you didn't know if you were just gifting a machine to somebody else. Oh, I take that with me. It would be under the condition that this is my machine that I keep here just so everyone fucking knows.

My name's on it. If you look on the back here, I welded it on. When you consider whether or not to renew my contract, I want you to know the espresso machine goes with me. No, the espresso machine goes with me. The dude counting change for gas money to go do his sets at the comedy store to buying an espresso machine for the office. It's great. It's great. Yeah. Tell me about these socks.

I need to buy some stuff. You guys got that ad coming up soon? Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that. There's a bit of a discussion with Woody. Hey, Woody, what kind of socks you got on over there? I don't have any socks right now. I am sockless and I desperately need some. I know you've normally got those boring black and white socks.

If your socks are an expression of yourself, what do you say to the world wearing those? I'm not proud of it. We need to fix this with our latest sponsor, Stance.com. Stance has turned one of the world's most boring accessories, socks, into its most exciting by turning them into a canvas for self-expression. By underpinning its creative roots with a relentless focus on technical innovation, Stance has redefined what socks should feel like and the role they play in personal style.

Stance is headquartered in San Clemente in Southern California and was founded in 2009 and now is sold in over 40 countries. Stance has had amazing cultural influencers like Dwayne Wade, Rihanna, and Willow Smith drawn to the brand, and they're also the official sock of the NBA and Major League Baseball. Check out their insanely popular Star Wars collection. I've got the Yoda socks myself, as well as their holiday socks that just recently dropped. Those are very fun and festive. Go explore the newest and best-selling collections for truly amazing gifts that will make your loved ones smile.

Or shop yourself at stance.com. That's stance, S-T-A-N-C-E, dot com. Stance, the uncommon thread. The uncommon thread. Check them out. You know what? I liked how they said that they're relentlessly working on the socks because i really i it's funny to me to picture someone

in southern california in the us of a you know just bent over like a workbench just exhausted trying to make this sock blackboard behind them with all sorts of sock equations. Yeah, just all the socks. Like different combinations, like 67% cotton, question mark? The perfect angle. The right mixture. His wife comes in, you know, Zach, honey, you gonna be

having dinner with the family tonight? Get out of here, you meddling bitch, I'm working on my sock! Jessica, this sock is not going to make itself! This isn't Hanes. This isn't fucking Goldtoe. This is Stance. And I can't go into work tomorrow with this sock and expect not to get fired. I'm working at a different level.

Whatever I said my wife's name was. I was going to ask, Sastika? Her name is pretty much Swastika. This scenario. Well, go over to stance.com and get yourself a pair today i've got uh how do you spell that s-t-a-n-c-e stance like your stance yeah i've uh i've got

four pair um they have some i love them i strongly recommend that that uh anybody out there who needs new socks goes and buys some now so these are two of my current criteria and what I need from socks. One, I'm low on warm socks. I'd like to try that. And they're also easily matched. I have this thing. What I don't like in a sock is 1,000 pairs of nearly matching socks. Yeah, that's disgusting.

Even if they did match at one point, because they've gone through different life cycles, now you've got like a thin one that's not that elastic and a new one that somehow has just been hiding on the bottom of the sock drawer. That doesn't match. I know they're the same kind, but they're not a match. These things are unique.

They will live life together like an emperor penguin. I need to talk to Chiz because I really want some socks. Chiz got four pairs of socks, he said. I need to complain to Chiz and get my share of the swag again. Kyle's locking it all down. He's got food and socks and underwear and who knows what else.

All kinds of things. I can't properly review these socks if I don't get a nice, wonderful pair. I mean, I trust Kyle. I'm looking at their snowboarder socks and they're made out of merino wool? That's awesome. Wool and thermolite were the two warm options I saw.

I've got freezing feet dangling in the sky thousands of feet off the earth and old. Is it cold up there? That is perfect for you. I get icy feet. I sit in this chair for four hours doing this show and then when I get up, my feet are like brick

to vice. They're so, yeah, yeah, totally. There's like no circulation. They go numb every couple minutes when my legs cross. It can't be good for them. I think my feet sweat more than most people. So when I buy shoes, I look for specially ventilated shoes. And now that we're in the winter and I want to be cold, it's just blowing right through my crappy socks.

Yeah, I like wool socks so much. Last time I went to Colorado, I went sock shopping before I went out there. I went to Timberland and got some really big floofy wool socks. I really like wool. So check out the wool ones that Stance makes there. Should be pretty cool. My friend Brad wears wool socks all summer. He swears by them. He says

they just breathe better and that they're better for him and whatever. And I'm sure that the subreddit is about to go fucking nuts on how I put his personal business out there because they always do. Like, no matter what I say. Like, he stores the things he doesn't use very often in boxes. Oh, my God.

Do you think Woody's revealing too much? Fuck you. Oh, my God. So, yeah, they just go ballistic. But, yeah, he likes wool socks. So, now you guys know his, I guess they're considered underwear preference. I put it out there for you guys. Go bonkers.

I shouldn't have even mentioned them. Anyway. They got under my skin. I let it happen. It's my fault. There's a picture of a motorcycle on my left. I'm putting this thing in tomorrow. I got my 1080 ASus Strix graphics card.

I'm surprised you haven't done it yet. Is it a difficult process? No, it's super easy. It takes five minutes. I just don't want to crack the case open, and I didn't do it yesterday because I wasn't going to be gaming at all. I think I'm going to put it in tomorrow and then play a lot of VR stuff. How long does it really take?

Do you need to update the driver? I bet you do. No? Yes? Because I just spent 20 minutes updating a driver tonight before the show. Yeah, I'll have to update the driver? I bet you do. No? Yes? Because I just spent 20 minutes updating a driver tonight before the show. Yeah, I'll have to update the drivers now that you mention it. Yeah, I'll have to get the 1080 NVIDIA drivers for sure. Yeah, that's right.

But doing the change, it's taking the thing apart, pulling the thing out, and just taking a couple screws and putting it right back in. So it'll be easy to physically change out and then put the drivers in. i don't know if it uses more or less power like sometimes there's six wires sometimes they're eight it's eight i believe i think um i i don't remember i remember like planning it all out making sure that everything was going to be compatible when i went from the 980 to the 1080 so everything will be good uh it's just a matter of doing it yeah so the 1080 is is it still the boss or is there like a 1080 ti out there now or the ti is coming out in uh january i think my plan is just to sell this one

for i don't know 400 bucks 350 bucks whenever the ti comes out and just get the ti i got this one on black friday deal for like 500 i thought that was pretty awesome because it was right at 700 for months now what so did it release at $1,000 or am I crazy? No, it released at like $600, but the supply was so limited that everybody was jacking their prices up. And on Amazon, or not on Amazon, but well, yeah, on Amazon, eBay, places like that, it was a grand $1,100. People were pulling the trigger at $1,200 sometimes. And I used that website that updates your phone. It sends you a text message when they're available on a variety of different stores and i got so i mean i watched this thing

for days trying to get trying to get my graphics card and i ended up like one time i got it in my cart clicked buy and then it was like your card is empty because someone had scooped in and taken it before swooped in and taken it before i could even click buy fast enough and i'm doing like paypal checkout lightning fast i knew the steps required right uh it was a nightmare trying to get that graphics card because of the supply issues i'm hoping the ti they learn from their lessons and make a few fucking more hmm yeah i don't know my card's old and i'm kind of happy with it the only current game i'm playing at all is Battlefield 1. I haven't played that in a bit. But I have an OG

Titan. It's about a 780 Ti, for those that know their graphic cards. And it seems to work. I'm not in a hurry to upgrade. Yeah. I want to max out my settings on raw data. That's my favorite VR game. It's terrifying. You're surrounded by

robots. They keep coming in waves. You've got a handgun that you have to manually reload by grabbing the mags from your side. You can relocate by just running around the room here or by warping around with a thumb click and point. It's really overwhelming

and scary because it's got great audio that really gets you into it. There'll be drones flying around above you shooting lasers down there's a big tank thing that's coming really slowly and occasionally shooting missiles at you that you have to literally dodge and then there's a never ending army of like robots that are just running toward you and by the third level they don't have legs they're crawling around with their hands screaming at you with glowing eyes and like launching themselves by like like doing a pulling maneuver with their arms through the air. It's horrifying.

Can you play as long? You can play COD for a four-hour stretch, even a six-hour stretch. Yeah, you can't play nearly as long. You probably get disoriented, right? Yeah. You just stay in there too long? Why? I don't get disoriented.

I don't get motion sickness. That was the big thing that Valve worked on was getting rid of the motion sickness. And to do that, they had to get rid of any and all input lag between where your head is moving and what your eyes are seeing. It has to be perfectly synced up. Your inner ear fucks up and you're vomiting in 10 minutes. So I never get that. I can play for... I play until I'm sweaty if I'm playing long.

that i can play for i play until i'm sweaty if i'm playing long i play until my forehead is so sweaty that the the the um the goggles are a little gross yeah and and i'm just like oh this is kind of gross i need to take a break because i what makes you stop like are you exhausted like you're shoveling or something or yeah yeah i just physically worn out and sore my back gets really sore from crouching it's like playing paintball lots of crouching and popping up and down and um yeah i get tired and sweaty and especially with the archery games because there's this constant repetitive motion of grabbing an arrow from the quiver knocking it and drawing and firing and it it requires zero actual muscle but your brain forgets that so i'm flexing the whole time just like I would normally drawing a bow and I'm just fucking yanking it back

and letting it go as fast as humanly possible trying to rapid fire arrows at multiple targets. I bet there's some 11 year old who's awesome at that game. He's not burdened with your archery experience. He's just like... Yeah, exactly. It really makes your reach I've tried that. I'm like, can I cheat this?

Can I flick my wrist like this and do it? But no, it really tracks your motion. It wants you to draw that arrow, knock it, and fire. I like the VR thing. I hope that more cooler games come out. And what I really love about it as an early adopter that makes me feel like I got my money's worth is the developers continue to improve their games. And along the way, they'll often bump the price up a little bit as they add more content to it.

But I bought this game when it was $10. So this $10 game is now worth like $50 because they've added so much shit to it. The graphics are always better. Now there's multiplayer. Now instead of three levels, there's ten. And then they make it look better as they go, too. They keep making it better and better. I'm digging it. I like it a lot.

It's such a silly toy. Raw Data's the game. I'm going to find a YouTube video or something. Yeah, that or there's a zombie one that's more of a horror one. It's called the Brookhaven Experiment. And the premise of the game, like the story of it, is

that some scientists opened up a they were trying to open a peephole into a alternate dimension and they accidentally tore a door and all these like weird monsters came through just like that Stephen King movie The Mist so you're fighting like really disgusting monsters that like I said you're in the dark they're coming in waves you've got a handgun it's uh the first few levels you're in the dark, they're coming in waves, you've got a handgun. It's, uh, the first few levels, you're just trying to be accurate and quick. And you're like, oh, this isn't so hard. I'll just keep my wits about me and be accurate and quick and slow is accurate. Now I'll be good. But I get freaked out by like the fourth or fifth level and there's spiders coming at me and things are screaming in your ear and they're crawling on your face.

Like when they get on you, they're on you. And it's, it's awful when they're on you, you want them off. You're punching them with your gun and you can, there's blood in your eyes and they're crawling on your face like when they get on you they're on you and it's it's awful when they're on you you want them off you're punching them with your gun and you can there's blood in your eyes it's uh it's like you're there system is that the the vibe oh okay so raw data doesn't it's futuristic when you described it as being frightening i pictured it a little more umender Man-ish. That's not the aesthetic at all. The Brookhaven experiment is much more like Slender Man. You're in the dark, and you hear crickets chirping, and the enemies are coming from the darkness,

and you really have to peer into low light to see them and use your laser sight or your flashlight. Your flashlight battery is always like, it drains out like an hourglass. You're like, shit, turn it off, turn it off. Occasionally you'll forget to turn your flashlight off and you'll just wail away on somebody emptying your pistol. You're like, god, it was running the whole time because once the light's out, then you're in the dark

with the monsters. This raw data looks pretty right now. I'm showing it to people on the screen like there's somebody's YouTube video. So Jen, go subscribe to him so he doesn't copyright me he uh um there were drones shooting at him and he was blocking the laser to like send it back at the drone and i think he'd throw his sword and then like a new one would pop in his hand if i saw it right i'm not sure so what's the other one called um brookhaven experiment brookhaven

experiment that one is uh That one really scares me. I was playing that the other day, and I started screaming a little bit, and I was just like, I don't like this, and I took the mask off and quit. I was like, that's unsettling. I was like, that was too much. I was here for an action movie.

I was here for Aliens 2, and all of a sudden it hit with alien 1 and it got it Turned into a horror thing and I wasn't I didn't want to part of it anymore So and I always locked the door because I because like you're in your own where I wear these as well for the audio So someone could come in and grab you and it really throws you it It's a weird experience for your brain to be in a whole nother world and then have somebody grab you in this world it's pretty jarring for cave in experiment this game looks appealing to me so this is sadly it's Bradley go subscribe to him so he doesn't copyright strike me and and like I said it's in

the dark in this particular video and I could link it for you if you wanted to see it I'm just bouncing around you can see his hands and where he's playing, and then you can see the game. And like Kyle said, the game is... It's like they used the Slenderman map almost, you know, in terms of, like, trees and leaves on the ground and trails and stuff. I think that's the second level or the first level he's in right now. As you advance through the levels, you get better handgun, better ammunition, and better equipment.

And it's a different setting in each level. In this one, he's kind of in the middle of a field or like a park in a city. Later on, he's in tunnels, like an underground sewer system with tunnels that go in five different directions around you and one above you. You're in a laboratory at one point so it's always a different setting but the the deal is that bad guys come from every every possible direction and you kind of sound for them huh yeah this is pretty neat he doesn't seem to change setting very much i'm way ahead i'm like 12 minutes into the video and it's still roughly the same place uh yeah it's it it five waves it says oh yeah he's i don't maybe he's playing a different game mode or something he did but i played a story mode he has a laser sight on it now yeah but yeah it does look interesting that's fun i it's it's it's it's

just different than anything else it's just so different than and it's such a different experience than getting on and playing cod like i'm in a completely different mindset if i'm gonna come and like you know you gotta put the right shoes on to play this game it's not like cod sitting down and like just popping in for 20 minutes you got to get ready just think of it just like if you're gonna go play you know hand tennis or something i don't know you're actually doing something i've been thinking about a new computer more lately i mentioned it like a month or two ago but I'm having trouble with this one. I don't even think it's hardware. It's just that when I get a new computer, I

wipe out all the software too, and it tends to fix problems I had. This thing boots way slower than it used to. It's the same hardware. It's not that the computer got slower. It's just that it got loaded with shit somewhere along the way. I try to be diligent about not doing that. Factory reboot that thing. Restore it to factory conditions. I do that to my shit somewhere along the way. I try to be diligent about not doing that. Factory reboot that thing.

Restore it to factory conditions. I do that to my shit like twice a year. But don't you miss your stuff? I put the stuff on a thumb drive. But okay, like for example, twice a week I'll FTP a file over to Podbean so that the audio version can get on, you know, up on like iTunes and whatever. Yeah. pod beans so that the audio version can get on, uh, um,

you know, up on like iTunes and whatever. Yeah. Like, I don't know if I even know that password anymore. I'd have to go look that up or something. And, and I,

that's part of it. I have to get file Zilla again, the FTP program I tend to use. And, and I don't know, like the outro on my videos that I use, like there'd be a million things I think I'd discover over six

months that we're missing. Well, there's a lot of cool hardware out there. That AMD stuff is really fancy. That 480 graphics card is so cheap and yet so powerful. And then the 1080 Titan's about to come out. Speaking of gaming, apparently Boogie

won the most speaking of gaming apparently boogie gamer of the year the um most trending gamer of the year most influential gamer of the year i should have had this up before i said something idiot um it is the i have no idea what the award is but it he won an award trending gamer trending gamer of 2016 so that's awesome congratulations friend of the show i hope uh i consider i should say another cool thing now i want to talk too much out of like out of turn because i'm not deeply informed but total biscuit just got medical results back and his cancer hasn't spread and it has shrunk so yeah continues to get good news.

Wasn't his cancer the sort of thing where he has a 25% or 30% chance? Wasn't it low? Oh, man, I don't want to say anything that would upset anybody. No, of course not. I just don't know exactly what it is. What kind of cancer is it? Or does he not say? I don't know if that's in Zex.

I have to Google it. He said it's just been a while. I'm not really plugged in. I just catch updates on reddit occasionally because it's always voted up but good news good news for him yeah i remember it was one of the really dangerous ones like pancreatic maybe colon bowel pancreatic so painful um i don't remember what he had but it wasn't a good one to have and and his kind of idea was look this takes five or six years to kill x amount x percentage of the people who get it I'm gonna fight and that was kind of his opening statement about the whole thing but continues to get good news good results it's good to hear it's definitely

put out there originally as terminal cancer and I don't know if it's not terminal anymore I just know that it seems like every time he talks about it there's been good news and not the kind of good news that is like I'm just only talking about the good parts like it seems like every time he talks about it, there's been good news and not the kind of good news that is like, I'm just only talking about the good parts. Like, it seems like it's genuinely going well for him. And I was pretty I was really happy for him. I'm sure everybody is. But it was like, I like this. I never really watched his stuff, but that's great.

We used to talk more than we do now. You know what it was? We were both like the two of us, the primary targets of this guy named, obviously, Jesus. And he would make these hateful videos. That is a blast from the past. Yeah, right? Obviously, Jesus would, like, every video, he'd just rail against TotalBiscuit or me.

And we used to, like, I don't know, goof back and forth, like, you know, as if it was a point of pride. Like, you know, I'm his favorite now. But we haven't talked in a while. He was on the show once. But I'm just happy to hear he's doing well. I don't know. I follow him a little bit.

I noticed that. So a couple of things happened. Conor McGregor, like he said, held both belts. He had 145 and 155, right? Is's right that's right and uh and then uh cormier it got injured right and couldn't fight so they needed a fight so they made an interim they took connor's belt away and they're having an interim fight between anthony pettis and max Holloway and Max Holloway for Connor's belt which is probably at his house right now I would imagine right

like that's what that's my question here is where is the belt is sort of it's a physical thing of course but then there's this idea of who holds the belt which really doesn't require the material belt itself I bet you though he still has that

fucking belt i bet he's got two ufc championship belts at his house and they really will have a hard time getting one away from i think he shows up to the next press conference with oh really if i'm counting right he should have one from when he won the interim championship right because aldo pulled out he beat mendez he should have another one from when he beat aldo and he should have another one from when he beat alvarez so he should have okay i was mistaken well that's i like that they don't take them so that so my next so my next thing is i haven't heard anything out of him about how he feels about this initially he said you know they'll have to fucking come and take it from me and the dana white was like we're just gonna take it and and And now I've read that he's applying for a California boxing license.

Is he applying or was he approved? I don't know. I could be wrong. I thought he was approved. Yeah, Conor hasn't said anything straight up. Conor's current fight, I feel like, is with the UFC, and it's happening behind closed doors. He's like, I'm not fighting right now.

So they're negotiating contracts. He wants equity. He wants equity in the UFC. He wants a lot of money. Just recently, oh, I hope I can get the fighters right. It was Cowboy Cerrone, GSP, Tim Kennedy, and two more guys, I don't recall, that all came out and they're trying to put together what seems like a fighter's union. I don't think they called it that.

But GSP has been negotiating with the UFC to have another fight, and he feels like he's not being paid fairly. And he went out and said, you know, no one's being paid fairly in the UFC. Even Conor McGregor isn't getting paid Conor McGregor's worth, which is quite high. He says that in other sport leagues, athletes tend to make about 50% of the revenue. That's right for hockey, isn't it, Taylor?

50% of the revenue? I don't even hockey, isn't it, Taylor? 50% of the revenue? I don't even know. I'd have to look that up. It seems to land between like 45% and 55%. So GSP is right. Players, athletes tend to make about half the revenue in their sports. And in the UFC, they tend to make about 8%. Really?

According to GSP. Yeah. And then the lowest fighters get paid very little it's like eight grand a show and eight grand to win and then there's some locker room bonuses which is a neat thing they're so bonus driven that it makes the fighters really strive to please the ufc right you, they'd much rather win by knockout because they're more likely to get a bonus. They're much more likely to not say bad things about their boss because that impacts their bonus money. Well, if they just say, I love the UFC,

the UFC's the greatest thing since sliced bread, they treat me so fairly, that helps your bonus. So they keep fighters in line by keeping them bonus-oriented. And they keep them bonus oriented by underpaying them. And making it so that even if you are a journeyman, even if you are the kind of guy who goes out there and wins two out of three

of your fights for eight years, you're still kind of scratching by and trying to work other sources of income because it's just not good enough to go beat people up for the UFC. You're right. If you not even just a UFC problem. And go eight years. I'm sorry.

Taylor talked at the same time. Then it's like you're probably doing well at that point, but not so well that you never need to work again, right? Not so well. At eight years in, you're probably thinking, all right, I may have, I don't know, two to four years left. How am I going to survive the rest of my life when this income stops? That's not what football players think oftentimes.

Football players are like, oh shit, I got $8 million. If I can't get by on $8 million savings, then I'm pretty silly. But fighters aren't like that. Fighters at the end of this have to figure out what's next. So yeah, UFC is currently fighting Conor. And we're going to see where that comes. He wants a piece of the company. He wants Mayweather-type money, $100 million.

And he might be right. You could blame him. Yeah, he is right. Oh, he's definitely right. From what you told me, because my question to you, because I didn't really know, is what's the normal income gross from a regular pay-per-view? Let's take one that doesn't have Conor McGregor in it. You could even compare him to maybe a Rousey pay-per-view event. How much more is he making?

Do you normally make, let's say, a million for Easy Math and now you're making 1.2 million for Easy Math? That's pay-per-view, gate, all that stuff. Of course, the numbers are much, much, much higher. If you're getting an extra 200K when Connor's on, you gotta pay him a big percentage of that if you're gonna keep that guy happy. That seems fair.

The number they report is usually pay-per-view buys. So a good event will do like 600 to 700,000 buys. That'd be like a Ronda event. And a Connor event will do like double-ish that. A million, a million point two. That's huge. All of Ireland. But there's's huge. All of our billions. But there's another thing.

Conor events cost more. You know, like some of these things cost 50 or 60 bucks at pay-per-view. Conor's cost, like they seem to be $10 more. And so not only do they sell more, but they spend $10 more. That's a lot of money, you know, on the other side of it. Suddenly this thing costs 20% more. That's a huge revenue boost because it's not like the expenses are 20% more. I don't see that as selfish at all.

That's just him wanting to get paid what he is worth. And if he's only making that percentage, then he's getting ripped off. He's such a big name. I made a joke that all of Ireland buys the pay-per-view, but I bet that's not far off. I bet a huge number of people of Ireland buys the pay-per-view but I bet that's not far off I bet a huge number of people in Ireland are buying can you buy it there I think that's the difference I think they offer it on TV in England and like oh so you don't even have to pay for it Russia I don't think it's paper it's really Americans that get fucked the most and if

they do pay for it I know sometimes people use like wacky VPNs to buy the Czech Republic version it's like eight dollars instead of 70 or something you know it's like way better so eight kroner eight kroner so i might be mixed up i don't know if ireland is one of the companies that gets it on tv i'm pretty sure russia doesn't have pay-per-views but um i know the prices are different around the world but the point is he brings he sells tickets the place is packed with Irishmen. He brings people to the city. He's like Floyd Mayweather. He should be making Floyd Mayweather type money. And he doesn't.

And the UFC's got a real thing on their hands here to negotiate with all the fighters. On the other hand, I've heard Dana White talk about it. And he's like, I don't care if they unionize. He's like, these fighters won't like unions. Of course, this is what he wants them to think. But he's like, you've got to to understand half of these fighters get managers and then the next fight that manager's gone like you know they just he's like when they get a union they're just going to have a manager i need someone to negotiate with so it's all good to me and uh the way it

works right now is the guys at the top are very richly rewarded which you could argue is fair because it's really the top of the card that sells the tickets. And most of the rest just kind of fills it, right? And, you know, like I buy fights, like I'm more into it than most. So I might look at like the top third of the fighters and then the bottom two thirds

are all kind of interchangeable to me. But like the top third draws matter to me. So Dana's like, yeah, you know, GSP, Connor, like the champions third draws matter to me so uh dana's like yeah you know gsp connor like the champions and stuff they make tons of money and then these guys making eight grand like they're interchangeable as far as the ufc concerned you know they could just grab some other no-name guy that guy who they're paying 10 grand he's not there because like oh we need jeff p peterson there tonight like we need that like no you could just throw in you know lloyd smith or whoever the hell just go down to the gym grab somebody else do you

have do you have fight pass i was just gonna say i bought fight pass because joe lozon was fighting yeah don't fight pass joe yeah joe moves some tickets he's in the top three we were talking about how many organizations i don't know. We were talking about how many organizations the UFC has bought out. It's like a dozen. A lot of them were small. Maybe you've never heard of them. But all of their library of content is on Fight Pass. I scrolled down the other day

and I'm like, the Tough Man Fighting League of Arkansas? What is this? And you go on there and there's just some good old boys like, come on! Come on! Who knows what the rules are? They're are people in the face on the ground like it's just like a dozen different like random minor league fighting the appalachian wrestling it's crazy you say that that's like that's like the the one thing that a lot of people don't realize about fight pass and i'm not trying

to sell it i'm just like as a fight fan they've got glory invicta like they've got like everything on it's like they did a huge licensing play by getting all that stuff and it in my opinion if you like fights it's definitely worth it now it may not have been worth it when it first came out but for me i love going through that yeah even better deal patreon.com slash pk. I'm just fucking... I've heard that. It blows out of the water. It blows Fight Pass out of the water. You get early access.

Yeah, there's a ton of content on there. I've been watching a lot of fights lately. I watched because I got FS1 recently. I didn't have that channel before. I didn't understand at first. I was like, I've got Fight Pass. Why is it blacked out? What does that even mean, blacked out? I know what it means

now. It means that you've got to buy FS1. They want to squeeze you a little more. But now I've got FS1, and I get the pay-per-view event, and I've got the Fight Pass. The fights on pay-per-view nights start at 6 p.m. and don't end until 1 in the morning. I've been watching a lot of fights lately. Yeah.

Yeah. I don't know. I follow... Of i follow the ufc fights but i also follow like all the other ufc things i can't i'm almost embarrassed to be into it but i'm like you watch the reality show they're forming a union they're doing uh not every season i used to following their union discussions i am yeah yeah yeah they're interesting i i'm into the union discussions too. That would fascinate me to see how it all plays out and what that would do to us, the viewer. How is it going to change? I wanted to talk about, what is he?

I think he's like the 110-pounder, 120-pounder. They call him Mighty Mouth. He's the guy who's going to fight the winner of the Ultimate Fighter, right? 125. Isn't he like unbeaten or or something does he have some fantastic record because he's such a tiny guy and i guess there just aren't that many times he does yeah right and it's it's tricky to figure out how good he really is like there are a lot of people maybe me included i'm a little confused who say this guy is the best we've ever had right i think he

has more title defenses than anybody although i it's near the most if not the most anderson silva had a bunch like teams and i don't think so not title defenses and he, although it's near the most, if not the most. Anderson Silva had a bunch, like teams. He did. I don't think so. Not title defenses. And he also had a bunch of fights that weren't for title. Like he went up to 205 and stuff. So his win streak wasn't all title defenses.

But DJ has done all title defenses. He's beaten all comers. And he's so much better than the other people in his division. And this happens across all of sports. It almost seems like, oh, okay, well, he just dominated at a time when other people weren't good. I don't know if that happens to Tiger Woods or whatever, but it seems like in sports people are only considered really, really great.

Like would Muhammad Ali be considered as great as he was if there wasn't, like, Frazier? Tyson. They say Tyson was a great fighter but didn't he just beat a bunch of bums so would you need Tyson to be not as good so it looked like the fights were harder that's kind of the spot that DJ's in and he's going to fight soon is it a week from now I think yeah something like that yeah

that's why I was wondering because I just watched one of his fights on Fight Pass to see what he was about and then I saw that the winner of the Ultimate Fighter was going to fight him. I've been watching a little bit of that. He cleared out his division so completely that there's like no challenges. So they built a reality show and they're like, the winner of this show gets to fight DJ because who the hell else will? And when you see him in the ring, like Joe Rogan's 5'9 or something, 5'8. Maybe he's a short guy.

Joe's like, he's holding the guy's hand up and looking down at him. It's like when you hold a little kid's hand and the kid's reaching straight up, but you're still reaching down to hold his hand. Joe Rogan's interviewing a child out there. That guy is so tiny. I feel like Mighty Mouse should move up.

If he fought at 135 against Dominic Cruz... Who is Mighty Mouse again? Demetrius Johnson. That's what they were talking about. Superfights. Demetrius Johnson. Right now, he's the greatest champion nobody's ever known. If he gets two belts,

then I feel like he gets elevated to a level that it's hard to reach without that. I don't know what the competition is in the next weight class and how that would counter what he does well or anything, but maybe it's a big difference between going from where he is up a weight class than going from like 145 to 155. I don't know. I think you make a good argument.

The next guy up, he beat him before, Cruz. But that was so long ago. It feels like DJ is a better fighter now and Cruz is an older fighter. I don't know. But the next guy up is especially elusive. That's his thing. He darts in and out. He controls range super well.

He just pop shots you all night long. It seems like he's got a range attack and nobody else does. And that's how he fights. He just kites you all night long and then you lose the decision. And I'd love to see him try it. I really want to see Ronda fight as well because she's

going to lose. I looked at the odds. It looks like if you bet $100 on Ronda to lose, you only won $140. So I guess the odds weren't as good as i thought they were they said two to one on their on the on espn at one point but maybe they've changed you win 140 so you come back with 240 right oh yeah no you bet 100 to win 140 right yeah i think that's the case i think you bet 100 to win 140 so i think that was the case be like she was the favorite right like so See, the win 140 is what confuses me.

I'm betting on Ronda to lose. I'm betting on Nunez to win. If you bet 100 for Nunez to win, you win 140 if she does, in fact, win. I'm not an experienced bettor. Maybe I'm wrong because I don't – No, no. Then Ronda would have to be the underdog if you were betting 100 to win. Okay, then I'm wrong.

Then I guess you are getting back 140, so it's 240. Oh, well, I'm definitely doing it. Maybe I just misread it the first time that's that's amazing odds then because she's gonna lose i you're talking to the guy who was equally confident that hillary was gonna win so like i'm real shaken at this point i went out and told everyone I've been saying you're due You're due for a good one You've made two dreadful Terrible totally wrong calls That would have lost you a huge sum of money I was going to bet $10,000 You got that bad luck out of the way

Now you're on the straight and narrow I say go hog Whole hog I looked at the style matchups As an expert in my field I really knew That Eddie Alvarez was going to beat Conor McGregor And

Eddie Alvarez I love you man But everybody knows that You came out scared and didn't fight your game And got freaked out By the moment that you were in And didn't have it together Meanwhile Conor's been there like 5 times before And was cool as a cucumber For whatever reason and didn't have it together. Meanwhile, Connor's been there like five times before and was cool as a cucumber.

For whatever reason, Eddie didn't fight his game. He was scared. What I was going to say is it's hard to find 15 seconds in a row that Eddie Alvarez looked better. That's the level that... I'm not saying he never got a punch in, but it's hard to find 15 seconds in a row where Eddie looked better than

connor did it and it was like connor had a secret it was like they're playing mortal combat but only connor had the manual so he had the special moves memorized like down why why you know yeah yeah he was throwing fireballs and stuff and what i got right is i predicted holly holmes would beat ronda and a lot of people didn't see that one coming but i i did more accurate boxing i think ronda's hands just seemed like it didn't look good when she came out against i can't remember the beche when she fought beche her hands look so bad she came at beche like a drunk husband comes at his wife after after yeah he went and he went at she went at beche like a drunk husband goes at his wife after a... She went at Beche like a drunk husband goes at his wife after a long night at the bar.

It wasn't the style. Very rarely does the wife get the good one in and then come back. Exactly. Is it Koheya fighting on this next card? Is she? I don't know. She's coming up soon, I think.

She's one of my least favorite fighters. I just find her. What's her name? Brazilian getting booed in Brazil. That was nuts. Veche Correa is her name. I'm sure I pronounced it wrong because that's my thing. I just hear it as Betch Correa, but...

Yeah. Betch, you think? I think it's Betch. Yeah, Betch. Okay. Don't go by me. I don't know. Whatever.

One of us has it. Yeah, I'm sure. But in any case, Ronda didn't look good beating her. Ronda looked like... 19 seconds or something, right? Sure she did, but when Conor beat Eddie Alvarez, it was like a clinic in

accuracy. He was out there trying to use it. He beat him using so little effort, seemingly. It looked like he could have easily, easily fought another man right afterwards. Conor could have went ahead and fought another man right after that fight and won that one, too. His post-fight interview, it wasn't like he was trying to be cruel, but it was cruel because he was like, man, you have to get someone with something special, like a special attribute. He could be really tall or really strong. He has to have an advantage.

Give him a stick or something. Yeah. He could have said that. Give him a stick. Because he was like, you know, when it's a fair fight, a guy who's my size, like he didn't belong in here with me. He said it like it really wasn't fair to the champion to be in the same octagon as me. I feel a little bad for how I dismantled him.

I liked it, and I agree with him 100%. Because what he's saying is like, look. How can you not? He's like, look at this guy. He's the same size as me. What a joke. You want to come beat me? Basically saying, any man my size, I'm the best.

At this size, at this model, nobody can touch this. I'm as good as it gets every day of the week. How do you argue? You've got to come at me with some height or some length. You've got to weigh in. I'm all for that. I'm all for being confident and everything. But him talking trash to Tyron Woodley is fucking stupid.

Have you seen him next to each other? He would destroy him. There's not a lot of money to be made betting against Conor McGregor. I bet no. Tyron Woodley would destroy him. Because Tyron Woodley is used to getting hit harder than Conor McGregor can hit. He's been hit by punches as hard as Conor can throw, and he's just taking them.

He's just bigger. There's a good chance. You know what? I should take that back. I should never say that because when it comes to the fight game, who knows? Dude, did you see? Now, which of you two saw Rory McDonald fight Tyrone Woodley? I did. You did. Yeah, so Rory McDonald fight Tyrone Woodley? I did.

You did. So Rory McDonald implemented a perfect game plan. He used his range. He just hit him, hit him, hit him, hit him. And Tyrone Woodley does the thing he always does. He puts his own back against the fence. He's not engaging his wrestling. And it just seemed like Tyrone Woodley, if you were to see him next to each other,

like in a lineup, you'd be like, Tyrone Woodley is completely going to win. Look how strong he is. But then you watched him fight and implement a game plan and he lost and i can totally see like it's not crazy what six two six three he has he has a significant reach compared to conor mcgregor if any gregor's got albatross arms, though. His arms are longer than they should be. Woodley is 5'9". Is he? It's often inaccurate, but it's... 6'9", 6'9", 6'9", 6'9".

I don't know. I want him to win. It looks like this guy would win. It does, but that doesn't mean... That doesn't always lock it in. I'm telling you. He's got his figure. He's a great fighter in his weight class. He has those attributes that Conor's you. He's not just bigger. He's a great fighter in his weight class. He has those attributes that kind of top. 5'9", 170.

He spans an overhead right. He's a great wrestler who doesn't seem to wrestle. Did you see him take down Wonderboy? I don't remember him taking down Wonderboy at all. I love watching Wonderboy fight. Who's Wonderboy? Steven Thompson is his real name and um

yeah I just dude I don't see why if Tyrone Woodley fights dumb which he does half the time Connor can beat him that that's my stance you know a lot more about the sport than I do but I don't think so I hope they fight I they fight. I used all my expertise when I predicted Conor would lose to Eddie. He's like, you know what? I'm going to take the other belt. And it stops there. At 185.

You did say something about Jones at one point too, right? Dude, Jones is so big. Dude, Jones is a bit of an overrated champion. So people think of Jones as one of the greatest fighters of all time, right? I thought you said that. I might have, but I've come to think about it lately. And I was reading on Reddit and a guy sunk in with me.

I say it because, real quick, I get all of my MMA knowledge from you. And so the only way that I would have in my head that he was, like, one of the best ever is if you said it. And then I was just like, yeah, well, he probably knows. in my head that he was like one of the best ever is if you said it and then I was just like yeah well he probably knows you know how I dismissed like Demetrius Johnson's competition because you know they all look bad compared to him Jones has title

he's like five title defenses making that up but it's something like that and one of them's over Machida who's a 185 er another's over Rashad Evans who's moved down to 185 another one's over sale or Chael Sonnen who's now you know who's always a 185-er. Shucks.

DC. Okay, DC's legit. And Gustafsson? I can't say his name. Gustafsson. Yeah, Gustafsson. Gustafsson. You know, he gave Jones a run for his money.

Yeah, that was kind of a draw-ish. I thought Jones won. But that guy's not like a world for his money. Yeah, that was kind of a draw-ish. I thought Jones won. That guy's not like a world beater. It's not like he's had a good career outside of Jones. He's had some wins and losses. And then some other guys a little washed up.

I think he beat Shogun. Jones has dominated one of the weaker fields. Now he's dominated, so good for him. But when you look at his defenses, I just... Kind of like the Mike Tyson thing you were just saying. Yeah. I don't like those guys that fight dirty.

I think he intentionally eye-pokes people, and that's just so scummy to me. Yeah, he said it. Why would he do that if he's so good? That's why he's so good. He blinds the other guy and then kicks him the step one night How do you see me sneak in what you can't see how does that actually happen in MMA fight his natural response? So looking for it. So you just you just that's the difference right there what you did He does he's not making a closed fist like this

you just you just that's the difference right there what you did he's not making a closed fist like this he's he's like this the whole time and there's lots of this there's lots of this and he's he's poking with his fingers extended and if you think that connor is long you got to see john jones because his arms he can reach across the fucking kitchen and grab some salt like it's outrageous so he's he's poking you with these long fucking fingers on these long fucking hands. And was it him that got the guy and there was blood coming out of his eyelids and stuff? It's just hard to look at for me. I hate it. I hate it.

That's the elbows. I think he has gross fingernails. Most fighters, when they're getting hit, they cover like this and start moving, right? Jones's arms are so long, his natural defense mechanism is to extend his fingers and put them out towards your face. And sometimes he'll just put it on your forehead, and sometimes he'll have it here. And fighters will run into his fingers with their eyes, because that's

where he's putting them. And they're out there doing these pre-programmed moves. If you wonder why boxers miss so much, it's because they're pre-reacting, if that makes sense. They're a video game. They're hitting buttons. They're going into a combo. When I throw this left, I expect your reaction to be that, so I'll throw the right. They're pre-reacting, if that makes sense. They're a video game. They're hitting buttons. They're going into a combo. They're going into a combo. When I throw this left, I expect your reaction to be that, so I'll throw the right.

I'm not watching your reaction. I'm throwing a combo because this is what people always do when I do that other thing. Anyway, so they're doing their programmed response while his fingers are out there, and they get poked in the eye. And I saw an interview with them. What a piece of shit. I saw an interview with them recently, and they're poked in the eye and i i saw an interview with a piece of shit i saw an interview with them recently and they're like yeah he's like yeah they say i poke in the eye because um

because that's what i do i poke them in the eye a lot uh it's kind of illegal but i'm winning did you see the john jones vitor belfort fight though yeah that's the one where he nearly lost his another 185 he got he got arm barred and his arm was jacked up he was hurt couldn't couldn't throw crunches and started using his elbows that's that's the thing that i would say what makes him so great in that sense is that like his game plan definitely adapts it definitely adapts you're like adapts. You're right. Where some guys stick to it. Vitor's another guy who fought his whole career 20 pounds lighter. Well, that's not true. He did some 205 too, but Vitor's a 185-pound fighter.

That's where he belongs. And while Jones looked great, Jones is a guy who could fight heavyweight. He's gigantic. And Vitor's a guy who could fight 185. He just has a lot of wins over small people. I don't like Jones. I don't want to see him win, and I don't want to see what he's going to do to his opponent.

I don't like that. Oh, yeah, he absolutely uses tons of steroids. Yeah, absolutely. He's suspended right now. Yeah. Yeah. Well, he's suspended for a number of things. He's always doing stuff that's coming.

I don't know if you saw when he got pulled over for doing something crazy in his Lambo, and it was DUI. Do you see what he's saying? He's like calling the't know if you saw his when he got pulled over for doing something crazy in his Lambo and he was DUI. Do you see what he's saying? He's like calling the cop a pig. He's like, pig. He's such an entitled, scummy piece of shit. I hate that guy so much. I don't like Chael's son or Michael

Bisping either. Chael's okay. I don't like Michael Bisping anymore either. Yeah, Chael's okay. I can tolerate some hijinks out of Chael. I am so – Dude, did not – I am such a crazy hypocrite with Chael. I have a conversation with Rogan where he's like, Rogan, I just want to congratulate you here for being here tonight,

where he's witnessing Chael Sonnen and Chael's reign of fame being interviewed by Chael. Dude, did you see Chael Sonnen? I forget. Joe was interviewing him, and he's like, I've got the strongest arms. I've got the greatest charms. I've got this. I've got that.

And Rogan started to end the interview. And he's like, what? No, the interview doesn't end here. I've just beaten a former world champion in the UFC. If you don't think I'll add an over-the-hill 50-year-old comedian to this list, then you're crazy. That's crazy. Threaten to be a Joe Rogan and call him a 50-year-old comedian. I want to find it.

That's funny. Joe can hold his own with Chael. I would watch that fight. I want to see Chael's son and fight Joe Rogan. Oh, he's about to fight Tito Ortiz, you know. Oh, really? Yeah, over at Bellator. Yeah, Tito's the favorite

I think although we've already proved I'm not good at that's not like a Doc Connor though too he kind of brings the element of Chael to the fight but actually like close to the fight yeah exactly yeah yeah he's the mouth and the show whereas Chael to me

seemed like the mouth I love that fight I was at Woody's house when he fought Jon Jones at that pay-per-view thing. Of course, Chael got pummeled, slammed at Will, I don't know, five, six times, which is Chael's thing. Then that toe broke. There was this

moment where it was like, man, if Chael had survived that round, and he could have easily. He got called ten seconds or something. Then he is the champion of that thing until john's toe is right yeah yeah i wonder what jay would have said would he have said that he was chosen by god to be champion yeah he would god would have broken fifa foe foam he had something about his toe breaking or something he'd have he'd have been really funny about it but his toe basically like went to the left.

Like imagine your right foot, your big toe just to the left until it tears the skin and the webbing and there's blood everywhere. The bone is broken. It was nasty. He could not continue to fight. Can we watch this post-fight interview? I have a time stamp. I love this. I hope it's the right one.

I wasn't able to watch it all. I've got a three-second ad to skip. Okay. All right, I'm paused at one minute flat. Yep, me too. Ryan? Yep. Ready, set, play.

At bat now, right here on the UFC's new home, Fox Sports 1. He always hooks up the UFC. He always hooks up the UFC. He never curses. Ever. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I will let you know when I'm done, Joe. I just got done with the world champion. If you think I won't add a middle-aged comedian just for the goddamn pleasure of it, you better think again, Dan Lace-Silverman. You're the bad guy. Joe Southern let you down.

I just got done beating the world champion. If you don't think I'll add a 50-year-old comedian just for the pleasure of it, you got another big comment. That's great. He makes a good point. You know, all right, then. There you go. That was so good. Yeah, I like him.

He promoted the fuck out of that Jon Jones fight. It got to the point where it was kind of like pre-election, how we were like, Trump might do it. And everybody was like, no, of course he's not going to do it. That's how it was with Chael. I was like, he might. He's talking a big game. Maybe he can back it up. And Woody knew better.

I think Woody was like, I don't think so. Because John's one of the best there's ever been. And Chael's just real good at talking shit these days. It wasn't a good matchup for Chael. Well, I thought that was the case with Conor and a lot of the stuff where he wasn't a good matchup for chao well i thought that that was the case with connor and a lot of the stuff where he wasn't proven at the time where he was really vocal about his abilities and it and i felt like he hadn't been tested yet until like maybe the chad mendez fight where even although like don't get me wrong i'll do like a knockout's a knockout right but i

felt like i was like oh was that just something that was just kind of like was that just a flash knockout which is like he like timed it right yeah he did his timing is really really good and that shouldn't be like construed as luck i guess and that's what i was kind of seeing it as and he proved that time and time again that his timing isn't necessarily luck. But I felt like the Chad Mendes fight, it was kind of showing some holes in the game and everything.

It was like, oh, okay. Well, not holes in the game, but like he was being tested where I hadn't seen him tested before. And him like coming, rising to that, I was like, oh, okay. All right. All right. All right.

I'm coming on board. I didn't know how good he was. He beat Poirier, and that was when I was convinced he was a really great fighter. But the question of the American wrestler wasn't answered. So it was like, all right, so he's a really great fighter. Let's just give it to him. He's one of the best strikers in the UFC. But he has this kryptonite.

You put him on his back, and what can he do? When he fought Mendes, I didn't know who was going to win. I's one of the best strikers in the UFC. But he has this kryptonite. You put him on his back and what can he do? When he fought Mendes, I didn't know who was going to win. I was pulling for Conor. I think I said Conor, but I didn't really know. And when he beat Mendes, it was like, holy smokes. Like, this guy is a juiced up, steroid-taking American wrestler. And Conor beat him. And that was the question we couldn't answer.

And when it was like, so you're like, hey, Mendes exposed some holes. My takeaway from it was, oh, those holes aren't as big as I feared because he just beat this guy. And then when he beat Jose Aldo in 13 seconds, it was like, well, there it is. Yeah, if anyone exposed holes, I guess it's Diaz, and he struggles with length. Well, no, that's exactly what I was going to say. I felt like he was getting gassed in certain areas with Mendez,

and that was exacerbated against Diaz, where he was like, he would walk away from him, and then Diaz would be like, what? Dude. Diaz, I think, and this is a question that I have myself, is was Diaz a special case? Was Diaz so hard to knock out because he's Nate fucking Diaz or was he so hard to knock out because Connor just doesn't have enough pop in his hand for someone

that's that size of a man I don't know which really but but but I I like to lend it toward that's Nate fucking Diaz that's what he does he's kind of a wild man he likes getting punched in the face that's why he's here you know I think that's what's going on there. They definitely play that strategy where they, like, both Nate and Nix do, like, in their fights get hit a lot early on, you know, wearing guys down in that sense too. Cardio's not Conor's strong point. And to me, as, like, a non-athlete on the outside looking in, that's the one thing that I think to myself, like, man, that's just reps. That's what I would be strong at. If my job was to be a professional athlete, cardio is one thing you wouldn't have to worry about.

It's like, man, I just need to run more, just run more, more, more. But whereas accuracy with boxing or something is some sort of muscle memory slash talent slash ingrained genetic skill that you have that you just have to build and maybe you're lucky enough to have. You might be right, Kyle.

A lot of people would agree. GSP would disagree. GSP, like he tells a story and he says, look, it's not really about cardio. He's like everyone that steps into that octagon has run their miles, has put in their reps. They have great cardio. It's about efficiency. Joe doesn't run.

Not much. Yeah, actually. Joe says he thinks running. But they've put in some work that gives them cardio. Joe doesn't use running, but he uses sparring. And, you know, he has a – Yeah, sparring has to be great for it. You know, he'll have like five people rotate against him.

But it's not worth just cardio. But let me get to – So what GSP says, he's like, I've got this guy. He's a Muay Thai instructor, like a world-class Muay Thai guy. And he smokes like a chimney. He's like, but he's just, you know, he out-cardios everybody. He kicks everybody's ass in the gym at Muay Thai because his efficiency of movement is better.

GSP feels like it's not about how big the tank is, but it's about your, you know, miles per gallon. I feel like he's self-promoting. He's like, and if you use the GSP system, you too can achieve this level. That's not how I read it. This level of precision movement. Because in the end, though, like, and if you use the GSP system, you too can achieve this level. That's not how I read it. This level of precision movement. Because in the end though, like, okay, if we were

standing there throwing perfect strikes the whole time, your fuel efficiency might be better than over fighter B because you're fighter A and you do it the GSP way. But what happens when they start wrestling? What happens when we're in the clinch up against the fence for three fucking minutes when we're on the groundch up against the fence for three fucking minutes

when we're on the ground and there's blood running in your eyes and he's rubbing it in your face? You're just getting gassed the fuck out. I feel like there's some guys that have a world championship, like an NBA player level of cardio stamina, where you just can't run that tank drive. And in those championship fights especially, you see a lot of fighters get gassed. Conor definitely has gotten gassed at least two or three fights I've seen. Yeah, there's probably just guys who, we lost Kyle in a hurry.

There he is. He's a drop the mic moment. Yeah, but people have different philosophies on that. I don't know what's right. I'm not a world-class fighter. I just think it's interesting. Some guys, like Cormier. Cormier.

I like Cormier. Yeah, yeah, Cormier. Okay. He feels like he needs it. That's why he's hurt. So before he fought Anderson Silva in his last fight, he was sort of toning it down a bit, trying not to get injured going into the fight.

His gym has a reputation of fighters getting injured too often. Is that America's top team uh aka i think right am i right okay i'm not positive i think it's aka and um but he's it's kane uh oh yeah yeah velasquez and all yeah yeah yeah yeah and um anyway they have a reputation of getting hurt before their fight so he tried to like pull it down and then when he fought Silva, I don't know if it was physical or mental, but he's like, I haven't put in the work. I haven't put in the reps. He didn't feel prepared against Silva.

So this time he's like, I'm just going back to the way that I like to do it. I like to bust my ass before fights because that makes me feel like I put in the work that it takes to win a fight. And he got hurt. So those guys are with Kyle. Reps, reps, reps, reps. Other people have a different philosophy.

I don't know. I tell you, if you want to put guys who like, don't seem like they, they got gas. If you really wanted to put like Connor in that fight, I would have loved to seen like TJ Dillashaw from Dillashaw brow to against, uh,

Connor McGregor on any one of his fights. I think that fight would have been great. I mean, great, you're looking at different weight. Sure. No, they're both 145. No, he's 135. Yeah, 135, yeah. But, I mean, again, I just mean that was just a good example of somebody

who did not even remotely look gassed, and he was moving the entire time. The entire time. Yeah, I'd love to see Conor fight either Dominic or Dillashaw at 145, because Conor has a crazy knack for hitting people, and these guys have a crazy knack for not getting hit. Let's give it a go. Man, his timing was so good.

So good. I know. It just makes it look like it was luck but you dominica so many fights there's something really satisfying about about watching the combos land it's like in call of duty when you're shooting somebody and you get that hit marker response how satisfying that feel and sound is it's like that when you've got an accurate striker um uh when um what's his name ben win it gives like that when you've got an accurate striker. Wynn, what's his name? Ben Wynn gives me that. When I'm watching Ben Wynn fight and he's throwing these really weird punches

that seem to come from all kinds of angles and you could hear him smacking the guy's fucking face. These aren't glancing blows. It's plop, plop, plop. Plop, plop, plop. Three punch combos that just all land. You don't see that a lot in the UFC. There's lots of glancing blows and these awkward fists

that land kind of like flat and stuff like that. But when someone's a great striker, it's really entertaining to watch them work. You know who's coming back that I know you'd love? The Korean zombie. I don't remember his real name. It's a hard name to remember. This guy does two things.

One, he never quits. He never, ever quits. When he fought Jose Aldo, his shoulder came out of socket, right? So it's obviously like fucked looking or whatever. And he's like throwing one-arm punches and trying to get it back in his championship fight. Then he does. And Jose Aldo broke his foot, same fight. Neither of them stopped fighting.

One guy fought with a dislocated shoulder. The other guy fought with a broken foot, and on it went. The other thing, Korean Zombie hits submissions from these weird places. I don't know, you're bending over turtle position, he just triangles you the wrong way or something. It's neat to see.

Submissions that go like, oh yeah, I guess that is a thing. I didn't even know. Yet, there it is. It looks awful. What are some rule changes that you think would be good because i've been thinking i would i would take uh i would take elbows completely out of the mix i don't like elbows they just cut people make them bleed out blind them and stuff i would take elbows out i would especially the elbows that are meant to cut um and it's not about that 12 to 6 thing i found out maybe we were talking about it the reason the 12 to 6 elbow is banned is because someone from the Nevada Athletic Commission

watched those videos of guys breaking a bunch of ice blocks with a 12 to 6 elbow. So it's complete bullshit. I would allow kicks to the head on downed opponents, though, because they've had it in plenty of other fighting organizations with no injuries. And what's the difference between that and a head kick, where you get kicked in the head and then your brain falls six feet to the mat like no you wouldn't have elbows but you'd let people get kicked in the face with the skin yes because all that happens is boom you're knocked the out whereas those elbows you get

your eyebrow laid over onto your eyes and deep in the other side you But if they're on the ground, you can just tee them up. You can just tee up that head like it's an actual golf ball and just swing for the fences. You look at the Russian Bear Taktorov fighting Dan Severin and

just the knees that were going to the head and cutting his face. His eyeball is coming out of his thing. His eyeball is coming out of his socket. I like the elbows the way they are. I'm kind of glad there's no kicks to the head. I would even be

okay with some kicks to the head, but not soccer kicks. What about stomps to the head? I don't know about stomps. I need to think that through. For example, a knee to the head. Here's a change i would make the gloves right the gloves are very flat and they keep your fingers straight unless you bend them i'd like to see gloves with

a natural curve in them so you have to kind of work to straighten your fingers and that way a guy like john jones instead of doing this all the time, might be doing this, and I'd like to see that. Or he would just go like this. He could. Here, let me show you. Bellator just changed their gloves. Here's what they need to use. They need to take this stuff right here, and every fight or pre-fight should have their fingers coated with

this stuff. That rubbery shit that they put on tools, so you get a good grip, and it's That rubbery shit that they put on tools so you get a good grip and it's soft like the stuff they put on a baby's spoon. They should have something on the tips of their fingers that doesn't mess with their grip. They need to grapple, and if they can't open their hands all the way,

then they're not as effective as that. It's going to be bad for grapplers and not as good for strikers, but eye pokes are bullshit. Check this out. Look how Bellator just changed their gloves, and think about what that would do to I pokes Hmm. I need to see a fist in it though. Hmm I can't because I need to see the fingers and how far they extend that out of it

It's just the curve. I got fist would be ideal, but I see the difference now. I see the difference. Yes, you're right That's that's much better. Yeah, so the new glove being on the left everyone can see uh i feel like that change would reduce eye pokes a lot because instead of flattening the guy's hand out it puts it in the mostly fist and it shouldn't hurt grappling at all so i hate eye pokes that's the change i'd make who was that guy he's got he's got a really difficult to pronounce and remember name. The guy who wouldn't release submissions. Oh, his name is... It sounds something very close to Paul Harris.

Paul... No, I'm afraid not. It's a difficult name. Because I remember... I saw his name and I was like, let's put this to memory. And then I was like, wow, that's a difficult name to even spell.

It was like Retardo or Ricardo. Something difficult. It's Rosamir Paul Harris. Rosamir, yeah. That guy's a scumbag. That guy's such a fucking scumbag. Rousimar Paul Harris. Where's he from like brazil

i don't know on the forums because his name is so difficult they call him paul harris p-a-u-l-h-a-r-r-i-s that's like his forum nickname that is a little pet peeve of mine because the only sports forum that i go to is uh the hockey reddit and it's pretty good they have the game day threads where you can go in and check in when people are saying they always get like the gifts up faster than everybody else except they put it on they just link to twitter because a lot of them are lazy internet point whores which is so fucking annoying but i get so i know a lot about hockey a lot i really follow it i enjoy I really follow it. I enjoy it. Like, when someone says a name,

it's very rare that if they've been in the NHL for more than a year, I'm like, huh, I've never heard of that person. But I fucking hate every time I go into a thread. And it's a bunch of people using just obscure, stupid fucking nicknames for all the players. The worst offender far and away is the Chicago Blackhawks

with Artemi Panarin, a Russian guy. His last name is Panarin, so they call him the Breadman, which makes my teeth hurt. My fucking teeth hurt. It makes my teeth hurt. It's so uncomfortable and cringy. The Breadman! It's horrible.

I wish he would do... I wish every time he got a goal he'd do this like miming thing of opening the oven and putting the bread in and watching his watching his watch and then it's ready if he was not russian he might have some fun with it but they don't do that but man it's just that one i don't mind as much because i immediately go okay bread man stupid but i know that means artemi panarin the worst is when it's like i'm looking in like a vancouver canucks verse calgary flames thread or verse philadelphia flyers thread and they use just ridiculous nicknames like oh that's uh you know fucking old man river great goal from old man river tonight and it's like who the fuck are you talking about how are we supposed to have a conducive conversation if you don't actually say

oh no this is actually like we call him old man river because we're the fucking carolina hurricanes and we're crazy with our nicknames and we just like to have fun it's like well i can't respond to you i can't have a conversation with you if you don't write these people's fucking names down because then there was one time oh man this actually affects me because i'm that i was going through a thread, and I was trying to figure out, like, I couldn't see from the clip the name of the player, and I didn't know the number. And the

whole thing, it was like a guy getting hit. I knew the guy who was hitting, didn't know the guy getting hit, and the entire thread just looks like Dr. Mesh got his clock cleaned on this one, and it's like, I kept scrolling, and it's like, there's 200 comments here. And not a single one of these assholes has written down this fucker's name.

Nobody has said, oh, Logan Couture really got lit up here. No, it's, oh, you know, the revenge monster, whatever the fuck. Stupid, stupid nonsense. And it, oh, it upsets me. Was it a newscast? Or a sportscast? Or was it on TV? No, no, no.

I've got Reddit on the forum. They do a very bad job of continuing... That's Reddit, though, in some ways. If you're not in on the joke of a particular subreddit, you can really get left behind. Like, I mean, take Trebuchet memes, for example.

Oh, yeah. I just want to read about hockey. Well, you better get more plugged into the scene. What's Crosby's nickname? You're a real hockey fan. What's Crosby's nickname? Please tell me it's like the sissy boy, pussy man, kitty cat. What's his name?

The professor. I think it's Sidney, a goal per game, Crosby. Oh, fuck you. Oh, my God. Suck a dick. That's a terrible a goal per game Crosby oh fuck oh my god that's a terrible name for Sydney Crosby Flyers won an OT tonight yeah didn't I choose the Blackhawks to win their division preseason you did yeah how was that prediction going so far didn't you call him the Blackfoot's last the blackfeeder I picture their feet like a child who's been in a grocery store barefoot all day and every time they win i just imagine them like like like squeak

like like just rubbing that foot in the end like the the wet goopy drooly face of their opponents just just really stomping them good making them sooty with their black feet. The Hawks are doing well right now. Blues are on a pretty good streak. They won tonight with a nice hat trick from Tarasenko. Sweet tea. Dude, St. Louis is on fire. Are they still on a win streak?

I think they've won seven of their last eight. That's incredible. So they're 14-7-3 now. So yeah, they're on a pretty good streak right now. The only thing that's kind of troublesome is tonight we had to win 5-4 because it seems like every time we got a lead,

our goalie gave up a soft one, which is kind of disconcerting. Oh, I know. Did you see that high school game? I didn't see it, but I saw about it. His team won 12-0, but it wasn't just the goal scoring. He had 98 saves. I saw that.

That's remarkable. Like, if you don't know anything about hockey, if you have to stop 38 shots, 40 shots in a game, it's like, wow. He could have said 32, and that's a good amount. The most shots I've ever had to face in a game of hockey was, I think it was 76. I've got to say, that's high school athletics for you, though. Sometimes you get, like, you see it in football a lot.

Sometimes there are high school football teams that would beat a small state college almost. But the thing is, if his team got 12 goals, why were, like, did they not play defense at all did they just set five men deep and let up like because if i get 12 goals i assume i'm possessing the puck a lot we're spending a lot of time in your zone how do i get 12 goals and my goalie has 98 saves the only way that can happen is if your offense is if you don't have defensemen no you decide to ice five forwards in your goal yes the five forwards move up the ice flawlessly 12 times,

score, and then immediately skate back to the bench for a three-minute juice box and orange slice treat. And then they skate back out onto the ice after the goalie's been down there like, oh, Jesus Christ, come on. I don't know how to think about that. There are 60 minutes in a hockey game. And he faced three hours worth of shots.

This is high school, so there's 45 minutes in it, I think. That's two shots a minute for the entire game. They must have had five forwards and no defensemen. To have 98 shots against you, it seems like the entire game would have had to have been spent in your defensive zone. Yet they got 12 goals, which if you don't know hockey at all, that's a tremendous amount of goals. How did they score four times as many goals as you might expect in a hockey game,

yet give up four times as many shots as you might expect in a hockey game? That's like a math problem. That is baffling. I can't imagine a way that would happen. Can you look at the box score and figure it out like how many attempts were there how many so they scored 12 goals how many shots did they take to accumulate 12 goals that would tell you something I mean it had to be a lot of shots and you know how the goals were spaced out throughout the game actually the only

way maybe they had to dress somebody else who doesn't usually play goalie? I don't know. High school athletics can be so one-sided. You know, our football team used to get our shit pushed in. Like, it would just be embarrassing. Like, I would ask my friends who were on the team, I was like,

aren't you a little scared to go? And they're like, yeah, a little bit. They're big. They're bigger than us. They're bigger than anybody else. What county were you guys in? Franklin. Okay.

I was in Walker. So we travel down towards the Atlanta metro-ish areas sometime, like Murray County and stuff like that. There's a football team here. I think, if I'm not mistaken, the best high a football team here like i think if i'm not mistaken the best high school football team in our area is berkeley which is the county directly next to ferguson and every once in a while like i'd have friends like back when i was in high school and i'd go to their games or hang out at the games and watch and be like oh yeah

we're playing you know our school's playing Berkeley tonight. Going to be rough. And it would be like a small private school against this enormous public school with so many people. I think it's a pretty big public school. And they would just, it was like watching a D3 college team play against high schoolers. Dude, LeBron James, when he was in high school, do you remember the birth certificate controversy? you remember the birth certificate controversy people were asking for lebron james birth certificate in his high his senior year he was dunking on people from the the free throw line he was so good at basketball we don't believe you're a kid we had a swimmer like yeah he wasn't

lebron james by any stretch but he was like 6 4 at4 at 12 years old. There was an age bracket that ended at 12. They're just like, he's obviously 18. He's 6'4. But he wasn't. By the way, we've been wrong this whole time about this hockey game. He blocked 98 shots and let 12 in.

He was getting peppered. He was getting peppered all game long. If he gave up 12 goals and made 98 blocks. It's not a good save percentage. Yeah, and it turns out, he's like, yeah, I always face a lot of shots. He routinely makes 40, 50, 60, and sometimes 70 stops a game. I was about to give that guy credit. That guy's got good cardio.

When I faced 76 shots and I was like 16 or 17 or whatever, it wasn't a high school game so they were actually better quality shots but i had better team in front of me so evens out i let like five in and at the end of it i was like it was the only time ever i'm like five goals not too bad you know like pretty good did you guys lose man uh oh yeah we ended up losing because they like their team it was one of those things where our coach I must have been 15 or 16. Yeah, 15 I guess because I had to be driven out there.

Our coach was like, well we need to get some ice time so I know you guys are in this league but there's a team that's like two leagues above us and maybe a little older but I think it would be some good experience. It's like, okay, let's go just get our shit pushed in. This is going to be a useless endeavor. Just like when we played when we were 14 or when we were 12 and 13

we played the 18 and under girls team. Oh, okay. I didn't see that coming. It was a bloodbath. Did you crush them? In what direction? We crushed them. Really? I guess so.

We were probably 13 or 14 because that's when hitting comes around. But you're not allowed to hit girls. I was watching the players on my team. It wasn't a concern for me because I'm a goalie. But I was watching them go up to square up for a hit and then be like, oh, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. I forgot about that. I'm not – because you just see that long hair and you're like, oh, okay. Dude, that's the other thing.

They're in hockey gear. You could easily forget muscle memory takes over and you just fucking deck the chick as a girl that must be frightening too like i played no check almost all my games were no check if some checker were to come right up to me and just be like it like i that would frighten me that might not be off my we were watching today it was it was nhl players miked up and maybe some beer leaguers too. It was really fun to hear because you have no idea what they're saying down there, right? It's remarkable how polite they are.

He'll be like, oh, come on. Are you fucking kidding me? You do that? You did this and that? And then you pinched me. What kind of man are you? You pinched me. He's like, it's all I had. It's such an honest conversation between these pro athletes. They gotta be like, that's bullshit! You stop fucking hitting me!

How would you like it if I hit you like that? And he's like, we all got jobs out here to do, you know? We all got our job! He's like, well do your job and stop hitting me! Hit and use my job! I like just how, like, cause you don't, you imagine it, like when when you're watching it you always imagine they're both pretty furious but then when you get them mic'd up like they're squaring up on the face

off and it's literally most of the time just be like hey you want to go away yeah alright and then they just both look at each other and throw all their stuff down immediately and then start fighting like just like overhear it and he'll like skate out to be like why he's like alright let's go let's go

let's go and then the fight will be over they'll hit the ground they're on top of each other the ref comes over good fight boys good fight come on now up and at him let's go and the players always tell each other hey good fight eh oh good one yeah yeah you got a couple of good ones there they went down early in one of them he's like that's not good the ref was like come on boys that wasn't much of a fight get get back up. Come on now. He did. There's one where they're like, they're one of the guys clearly. I think the guy who dished the hit out wasn't paying attention, I guess, that a guy who was bigger than him and willing to fight was on the ice.

And so they get in that fight and the guy was kind of like trying to, you know, do the pull in really close and then kind of like the disoriented, just please don't hit me kind of fight. That guy's too big for you. Yeah. Yeah. And then the ref's just like, hey, boys, come on on let's get a real fight in come on let's get this finished you know like you tell them step up get each other get it done dude so i'm playing ice hockey and

it's early in my ice hockey career i'm not very good i'm not even that great a skater at this point and uh but i'm like next to a guy and it's a playoff game and this guy's smaller than me but he's like really scrappy and he's missing teeth and stuff and uh but he's smaller than me so i'm feeling like kind of feeling my oats and and it's on the face off circle and we're both like i guess trying to have our stick closer to where the face off is not even that important but the fact is that my stick was where i wanted it, and then he moved it and put his stick there. So I'm like, well, I won't fucking be pushed around, so I move it. And then, like, so all of a sudden, now we're, like, shouldering each other and, like, waiting for it to start.

And he offers to fight me. He's like, you want to fight? Let's fucking go. And it ruined me. It ruined me. I was terrified. I really thought I was the tougher guy until he wanted to fight and and now i'm looking at him and i'm like fuck this like toothless scrappy bastard

might kick my ass and uh and he wants to fight and i'm like no no i'm good i'm just gonna play hockey and uh and then like off the face off he kind of like i don't know cut me off or put a shoulder into me and did what he intended to do and it was like well fuck can't have this happen all the time one of the one of the best fights on there like i guess what had happened was the the goalies uh uh water bottle fell off and then or maybe the ref knocked it off accidentally but then the opposing player like flicked it or something and it was a whole meltdown he's like it's just a fucking water bottle he's like yeah but it's our fucking water bottle you don't touch it don't you touch it really i think they fought over that water bottle like it was tailored i'll buy you a new water bottle eh you know i'll buy you a new one yeah you will you

will buy me a new water bottle you you will you don't you're not buying us a new one that's our water bottle you stop touching it you're not gonna us a new one. That's our water bottle. You stop touching it. We're not going to shoot it if it's on the ground sliding around out there. But here's a good one, too. It's called 14 Minutes of Pissed Off Goalies. We can't watch that. It's 14 minutes long. No, no, no.

This is one for you guys after the show if you want to do this. But it's just another funny one. That's what I like. I've watched it before. It's half Flyers goalies. Just fucking Hextall and Snow. Hextall and Patrick Waugh. Just freaking out.

Did you see this meme I linked? Let's see what we got here. Oh, Jesus Christ. It's a picture of Donald Trump and mitt romney sitting in that very uncomfortable position it says go ahead tell them your name and it zooms in on mitt romney and says my name is reek looking with the face of like i don't know if this is real or if i'm in a store for a big humiliation like and then Trump is over there giving the most devious smile.

Trump's smile in the background is so great. Part of me hopes that Trump is rolling Romney out to humiliate him publicly. To just be like to just give him a, you know what he didn't really, he couldn't really hack it. I gave him due

consideration but he really doesn't have what it takes to play with the big boys. That's why I went with insert other choice. Maybe he just wants to roll him out, make him apologize publicly even, and then humiliate him for all Romney did. Or maybe he just wants him on his team. It's hard to say here. But that smile on Donald's face is so entertaining. He's made politics so entertaining in general.

That is the face of a 7-year-old who just got exactly what he wanted for Christmas oh my god I was I never went from such a high to a low then when I received moon boots seven or eight years old. You watch the commercial and these kids are fucking flying. If you guys don't remember, I think they don't sell them anymore because a lot of kids broke their ankles. But it was just a trampoline with a big plastic

cutout around it and it was basically that you jump off of this trampoline that sunk down and hit the floor kind of and you used it as like a little slingshot for your foot like bouncing you and it did not work at all well exactly what happened is you took one bounce on one foot and realized oh this isn't even enough to get me off the ground well I'll try and do it and then you jump up with both feet and you come down but you the

elastic the shocks just bottom out don't't go straight down. They go like... Eat shit. And you're like... So wait, these are shoes with little springs that form platforms. I need to look this up. The Nike mags or whatever, the ones that auto-lace, those are pretty fucking cool, man.

I think they're like $700 or $800, though. If you can find them, I think they're selling for way more than that. I think that was like $700 or $800 though. If you can find them, I think they're selling for way more than that. I think that was the suggested price, but they're in super limited quantity. Really fucking cool. I didn't know what they did until I watched a video. I don't even understand how the technology works, but it's got some sort of engine in there that's tightening these shoes up around your feet.

It looks pretty nifty. What am I going to do the first time I get those shoes muddy? This is going to feel so bad if I get some $1,000 shoes muddy. I don't think so. Oh, this is exactly it. This is exactly what I got. Even the terrible

Nickelodeon purple and green. Dude, Colin got these and he kicked ass on them. He fucking loved these things he would bounce around and they worked for him he had a knack i tried it on my own feet maybe it's because he weighs less he probably was the right weight when he got them whatever that was it was a few years ago it must have been too big of an eight-year-old it could have been yeah well would be because that's about when you hit puberty. I bet. I bet. Yeah.

He was shaving at that point, fucking Taylor. But yeah, when Colin got those, he had his father's jeans. He won't hit puberty until he's 27. So you've got a lot of time. Yeah. So those boots fit him fine. You guys want to call that a show? Yeah.
