Painkiller Already - PKA 528 Gamestop WallStreetBets, Wandavision Sucks, Spartacus

Episode Date: February 2, 2021

Pinkular already, episode 528 Just the boys today, I think the guests fell through Yeah Hopefully we can get him next week This episode of PKA is brought to you by Blue Chew and Smart Mouth Couple of long time advertisers, we love them We'll talk more about them later

But we're all chomping at the bitter I guess me and Woody a little more To talk about this GameStop thing Because like Oh me too, too yeah it's fascinating i have 31 000 worth at seven dollars a share no no oh my god i wish right three million dollars right now of game stop stock yeah did you see that guy that's a guy named like deep value or something on reddit made the post

and got it started and i think at one point he was up to 44 million dollars this is thursday evening the time we're recording this that's going to be relevant and so he was worth like 44 million at the peak and he's lost 15 million today and he's still like posting like i refuse to sell like hold it's like, hell yeah, dude. Diamond hands and paper hands was a term I learned recently. You're familiar with this? No, no. Yeah, diamond hands are guys who hold, guys who are strong.

And paper hands are the weak. They're the weak sellers who cashed out early. Well, I don't want to lose anymore. Dude, and so many people are doing this. So I have paramotor friends talking about this this is the biggest story in the world my wife like i walk into the kitchen she's cooking she's got the headphones in listening to how gamestop is doing lately and you know who's the good guy who's the bad guy what's going on very complicated stuff um i i can't remember finance stuff dumb even Even when the 2008 financial crisis, like the whole mortgage dot bomb thing happened, it just didn't seem like it was as big a story as this.

It certainly won't have an acute peak like this. Dude, I'm fascinated by it. It's so interesting. Do you see that? I'm fascinated by it, too. And at some point, I know that you have a very recent. You did a lot of research today because you know how nitpicky the internet is. Like if you get one little fraction of it wrong, oh, fool. And meanwhile, you know more than 99.9% of the populace and you've just informed everyone.

But at some point before you give your very well-informed research opinion, I'm not trying to put you on the spot upping the bar here i'm not trying to raise the bar we're gonna take my accuracy from its typical 75 to 85 percent here that's what we're doing okay okay before you give your 85 correct uh take on what has happened and what is going on i want to give my zero informed um opinion of what has actually happened because i literally know nothing like i i i know like just headlines and like like like titles of like videos and and that's it yeah yeah it's like i like me looking at this is how i imagine you feel when i'm explaining hockey stats to you. We're like, even when we went to go see that game live,

you're like, now that was offsides. And I'm like, no, no, no, no, it's so silly.

That's how Woody's going to feel talking. This has nothing to do with the stats of it, but I forget his name, but he was trending on Twitter. Some like piece of shit hedge fund guy was on CNBC openly crying, like openly crying about how this was unfair. Meanwhile, he was,

uh, what? He had a three, a $2.5 billion fine three years ago for insider trading. And he's like, this is bad for the, and it's like, good.

Fuck you. Good. Fuck you. Bankrupt. I hope that you are living in a porta potty, a dirty one. So are we ready for my completely uninformed? I'm down. Take on this.

All right. All right. So it seems to me that the people on the Wall Street bets subreddit got together and collectively they all invested in GameStop stock, which everyone, of course, was betting would fail because obviously it's, I mean, if you just ask me as a completely ignorant observer, like, hey, what stocks do you think are hot and which stocks do you think are really just never going to do anything? I was like, oh, GameStop, bet against GameStop. If you're, you know, like bet that GameStop is going to continue anything. GameStop. Bet against GameStop. Bet that GameStop is going to continue to fail and continue to fail and continue to fail because it just is.

Thank you. If Blockbuster were still publicly traded, which God, I hope it's not. I know they have one retail store left in the Northwest somewhere. You'd bet heavily against it. So it seems to me that know you'd bet heavily against it so it seems to me that everyone was betting so heavily against it that they got the bright idea that hey if we all go the other way then we can then we can inflate the price dramatically and all those other people i don't think their intent was to make anybody lose any money on the other side they just didn't give a fuck their intent seems to be to make a ton of money

by pumping this stock up and making, no? I think it was both. They wanted to fuck them and they wanted to get rich. So I want to explain what a short squeeze is. All right. So first there's a short. And how that works is Kyle happens to have 100,000 shares of GameStop laying around.

I say, hey, Kyle, can I borrow it? I want to borrow your stock for whatever, two weeks and I'll give it back to you then. Right? So that's, that's where this begins. And then while he gives it to me, I sell it. Right? First thing I do is I sell it. He doesn't care. I don't care. Whatever. My plan is that this stock is going to go down and two weeks from now, I have to, have to, have to buy it. Got to, because I told Kyle I'd return it in two weeks from now, I have to, have to, have to buy it. Got to. Because I told Kyle I'd return it in two weeks. That's a must-do type thing.

And so I sell it. And then after that happens, everybody starts buying it. They realize that I have this short position where I am forced. I have to buy it in two weeks so they're like let's run up the stock let's make their we're gonna take the supply and demand equation and fuck them and okay yeah so I'm following this you're doing well really I love what they're doing right so a side note normally when a company is shorted that is kept a secret these are tightly kept secrets but melvin capital i have that 90 right um they did they i guess they

have their short position sort of wrapped up in some other positions and they reported it in an sec filing so people know and they're like, we fucking got them by the short hairs. So the Wall Street bets autists went together and they bought as much as they could. Now Melvin is in this spot where they have to buy it. And the stock went from 17. It's currently at like 250. It hit like 430. And they're losing a ton.

Now. No, no, no. I'm sorry to interrupt you by a ton we're talking like 2.7 billion dollars right i think i've seen three and a half billion at one point so like i don't i guess you don't they're being a little secretive they have said hey you know what let me mute hey you know what we um we've gotten out of our position boys hey hey you can't short squeeze us anymore and they're all like liars fuck you i can see that you still have to buy hold everybody diamond hands all right diamond hands i didn't know what that meant but i just saw that i literally saw them the front are all number one

trending number one are all top right now is diamond hands it's like lots of diamond emojis i would have thought a dance move that would be not a bad guess or a new tiktok trend but so um so they're pretending that they've gotten out of this and that they can't be short squeezed anymore and it's hard to know what's true and what's not true, but it appears that they're kind of lying about that. And they're still short squeezed. People are holding, they've got their diamond hands. They're doing their thing.

Um, shit. So from there, it's all like the question of who the good guy and who the bad guy is, is a little more gray to me than it seems to be to the rest of the world. Most people are like these hedge hedge fund, hedge fund. Back in the 1950s, hedge funds were kind of these like safer investment vehicles. What they do is they bet a stock would go up like most people do.

They always pick their favorite companies and hope they go up. But they do this like, you know, little hedge bet so that if it did tank a lot then they were protected and the these funds tended to just perform a little more smoothly hedge funds have changed into something else now there are these more complex higher risk investment vehicles that do all sorts of wacky stuff like borrow shares from kyle and sell them intending to give them back and they're not even available to regular investors like us right if people think think I'm rich. I'm not this kind of rich. This is a different kind of rich. And it's either- I keep interrupting you, but I used to work with a guy who his father

ran a hedge fund and they would be discussing this at work at the dealership. And my bosses couldn't afford to buy into his head hedge fund and these were people who were making six figures a month like they couldn't afford to get in because it was like 750 000 right now and then like there's going to be more coming like just to just to start we're going to need three quarters of a million so you can't even participate in this unless you are uber wealthy like you make regular rich people look poor. Yes and no, right? So on one hand, you're right. Uber wealthy people can do this as an individual. But the other kind of people that are investing in hedge funds are collections of normal people, things like university endowment funds, pension

funds, stuff like that. So this specific example could be wrong but we all know like iron workers local 812 is investing in this hedge fund because collectively they're very wealthy yeah right so i think this idea of like you know fuck anyone who's in a hedge fund it's a little more complicated than that because these are pension funds and university endowment funds and other large collections of cash and is that what's uh that's the kind of hedge fund this one is that's getting fucked i don't know but um i i feel like it's not the kind of fund it's the kind of investor that we're talking about and who is in this you know who's bought parts of this fund well like everybody

yeah like you know what i'm saying like i don't know who bought this fund, but I do. I can't, and like, this is ignorant as shit, but just based on media response, I can't imagine that a bunch of people lost their pensions because you saw CNBC, Fox Business, all these people immediately go on high alert and start running, you know, orchestrated defense. So if they had the point to go, these are firemen's pensions, these are bubble, but they would have immediately rolled that out. But because it's shameless billionaires who are parasitical, they have to just say, this isn't fair. I'm taking my ball and I'm going home.

So I'm a little slower to jump on like media collaboration type theories. But it's hard not to see it in this one, right? Like if you watch CNBC, if you watch, I'm reading Market Watch and stuff. There is a lot of defense of like the hedge fund and stuff. And to some extent,

it's semi-warranted. So what Wall Street bets will tell you is man, these hedge funds have been doing short squeezes forever. This is not a new term that I've invented. Short squeezes, in the 90s, people were talking about this shit. So it's not like Wall Street invented this behavior.

On the other hand, it used to be they'd run up a stock from like 17 to 19 and a half and make some money. They never took it to 423 or 38 or whatever it went to. What they're doing with these it's great in their blood diamond hands fuckery is at a level we've never seen before and uh also it used to be like like woody you're short squeezing you're kind of running up the stock i am not i just have a wholehearted belief in game stock i think they're undervalued and that

they're the that they're the video retailer of the future. Video game retailer of the future. What? Are you going to prove my intent? Are you going to prove that I didn't think that this stock was going to have a bounce or something? But on Reddit, obviously they're doing it. Obviously they're colluding. They are without

a doubt obviously colluding. They absolutely are. I see this all like i don't really go on reddit as much like i see it on twitter and i see mainstream journalists most of them the overwhelming majority that work for places like fox cnn cnbc they're all coming down on the same side it is independent journalists and all the normal people that are like rah rah shish, shish, boom, bam. And so viscerally, and I have said multiple times, I don't understand how this works. When you say they're all coming out on the same side, are you saying pro-billionaire?

Pro-billionaire, saying that this is, so like, oh, the SEC needs to shut this down. We need to investigate it. Oh, there's a little bit of volatility in the market. Oh, okay, so volatility that affects you negatively. This is integral. We need to get this taken care of right now. This is priority one.

The wrong people are making money and the very wrong people, the very wrong people are losing money. And so we need to work together. Media colludes about it. The SEC colludes about it. All these people are colluding together and they're fucking with the normal people

who seem to take advantage of a, not even a loophole because this is what the system is, right? It's just that this has been exploited to an extent that no one could have seen coming. And so it's like someone coming in and beating you at your game so badly that you have to go home. It's like a mercy rule, right? That's what they're trying to get implemented. So I guess I don't know the exact law, but there are rules about colluding and driving up stock price and market

manipulation. You're not supposed to do that. So when they go on CNBC and covertly drive down a market and then they short that market without informing people that they're going to do it right. Like they do that all the time. Well, true ish, you know, like I'm going to, for whatever that's worth is going to call that 75% true. And it's hard to distinguish between a guy coming on and saying like hey you know what tesla looks overvalued but electric cars are the thing of the future and they deserve the market cap of the next

six combined because they're soon they're gonna sell more than the next six combined or whatever i can say that and i can believe it and is that me falsely driving up the price of Tesla or is that me giving good advice? There's – I don't know. Either way, wouldn't that comparison make what the people on Reddit did totally fine? I don't think so. Like what the people on Reddit did is like a dishonest intent based collusion. No. Oh, those.

I mean, but they went into it not dishonestly. They saw an opportunity to make a huge amount of money. Right. They saw an opportunity to short squeeze and manipulate a market. Yeah. And that's what someone on CNBC is doing. They're going on there. And I'm not giving them the benefit of it.

I'm not giving these guys the benefit of the doubt whatsoever. They know what they're doing. They're smart people. They go on there. They know what they're doing. They're smart people. They go on there. They say what they have planned to say exactly word for word. And then they take advantage of the impact in the market. Right? So it just,

it doesn't seem fair that it's just totally different rules for these people, totally different rules. And then Robinhood shuts down and all of this crazy stuff. And it's direct involvement, direct collusion, direct SEC involvement, fucking over these people. It's direct involvement, direct collusion, direct SEC involvement fucking over these people. It's like this is-

Well, you said SEC involvement. I think that part's on target. I don't know. But yeah, so- They did. They said they're going to investigate it. The SEC, the SEC, no, Biden's treasury secretary

is going to oversee the SEC investigation, but Biden's treasury secretary received $7 million in speaking fees from Citadel Capital. Is that true? Citadel Capital owns... That's not true. What is it?

Robin Hood. That's not true. No, no, no. I wasn't going to say Robin Hood. Whatever the... I'm sorry. It was one of the other names of the hedge funds, like Citadel and something else.

Melvin? Maybe it was just Citadel. Maybe I'm getting that mixed up. So much is next. What people are saying on the internet is that Citadel, which I guess owns Melvin, also owns Robinhood. So they shut down trading of GameStop and AMC is the other one people are talking about mostly. They shut down the trading of those. So with that, I think they made it so you could only buy.

No, you can only sell. I have it wrong. Or they shut it down entirely, one of those. But what that means is they lowered the demand and kept the supply there so that the people who are getting short squeezed can get out. It was like a rescue plan almost for the big guys. And I think we saw an example today of a guy. I think Chiz linked it to us it was a guy on the wall street feds subreddit and he was like if i can hold you can

hold and he showed that like he he was holding like 27 million dollars worth he had 20 he had like 27 million dollars worth yesterday but because of all the like freezing of everything like now it says he's down 10 million and he's like if i can hold you can hold stay strong brothers yeah i think i'd hold too because like thermopoly shit i'm just wiped out either it doesn't really matter if i'm 10 million in debt or a billion in debt those are insurmountable bought it look i could probably find it like the exact numbers but he's like bought in for about tens of thousands but he's up to tens of millions or something like that. Like it's crazy. The, the, the profit that he's made. So I had to explain the Robin hood ownership structure.

Cause I looked into that too. What people are saying is that I think Citadel owns Melvin. I hope that's right. I'm pretty sure that maybe that's, yeah. And they're saying that Citadel owns Robin hood and that's why they shut down the trading so that Melvin could get out and lose less. All right. The truth is Citadel doesn't own Robin Hood. However, Robin Hood does free trades and I guess what they do is they sell these trades and Citadel can sometimes buy them. And then when Citadel executes the trades, they're not at as good a price as they might have otherwise gotten. They're like expired or inactive trades or something. And they just take it out of what they had laying around because it's a higher price than they would have gotten through some other means. It's a little complicated.

I'm trying to figure out what you're saying here. How is Robinhood and Citadel, like Citadel's processing transactions for Robinhood? Yes. And they're buying them. So I guess this is it. Citadel butters Robinhood's bread, right? That's, that's the message I'm trying to get across. They are Robinhood's actual customer in the same way that you think you're Facebook's customer, but you're not, you know, you're the product Facebook. Yeah. The advertisers are their actual customers. You think you're Robinhood's customer, but you're not. People like Citadel are their real customer.

You are the product. Your trades are going to them and they're making money by executing your trade at a price that maybe isn't as good as it would have been if it was handled some other way. And so why did Robinhood stop trading? Well, this does look a little shady. It's not an ownership structure. It's more of a who does Robinhood care more about, the traders or the people who pay them? And the answer is kind of the answer.

Can they legally do that? That's not loaded. What's the that in this situation? Can they legally just be like yeah this stock that you bought through our you can no longer sell this or you can we're freezing everything you can no longer purchase this it appears that that's going to get some government attention you know yeah he's talking about it ted cruz is talking about it uh it my answer is probably not you probably now ramen hood has another answer on another side of this.

They might be in a position where there was no obvious, like, correct, good, true, honest answer. So Robinhood knows that people, like the Wall Street bets guys, are doing bad things, right? Forgive the air quotes. But they are colluding. They are manipulating market prices. And they're using Robinhood to do it. So Robinhood is like, we're going to get named in every fucking class action suit for the next 10 years, right?

Robinhood is so fucked because our users are working together in broad daylight saying that, you know, drive this thing up, diamond hands, hold, squeeze this hedge fund, right? And Robinhood is the vehicle that they're using to do that. So they're like, no bad shit's happening. I guess we're obligated to stop bad shit from happening. Now, I know. I'm confused.

Okay. Why would it be bad or illegal or anything for a bunch of people to buy the same stock? It is illegal to collude and manipulate market prices. But the whole point is that I'm saying that that seems to be, from the outside looking in, that seems to be a law that is now being revealed to only apply to certain people who aren't in this special club. These billionaires can do this. They can do this anytime they want. No, no, no. What the billionaires

can't do is on a message board say, all right, all billionaires, here's what we're going to do. We're going to all get together. We're going to manipulate this stock. Now, this is really going to fuck some people in power over, but who cares? All right? Diamond

hands, brothers. Diamond hands. Let's go. That is what you cannot do. Now, if you're doing the boardroom gonna fuck some people in power over but who cares all right diamond hands brothers diamond hands let's go that you is what you cannot do now if you're in a boardroom somewhere nobody knows about that you may have still committed some collusion but all the colluders were in one little room together not on one of the largest message boards so the problem is that everyone knows this happens but because once again it is the wrong group of people they're getting cracked down on no no no if the same group of people had done it but they had done it in a convention center and they had said all right everyone on a microphone that would have been okay because nobody would have fucking and if they had used the right coded language right

if they had said you know what i believe in gamestop we all believe in gamestop right and you know who doesn't believe in gamestop those people who are squeezing it for 2.7 suddenly we're all wearing red hats they don't believe in it but we do right boys everyone believes this is a bullshit technicality if billionaires can do this and they're in their eiffel towers their eiffel towers their ivory towers their eiffel towers with their croissant nobody likes oh we are going to shoot games what do you think you stick retards online going to take our money no and they did so i know, but, and I know exactly, I know what you're saying, like, but I still don't care. Morally,

I don't fucking care. These people on Reddit should be able to do this shit if they want. Oh, I don't care either. I'm glad they're doing it. I hope they get away with it scot-clean. I hope they make tons of money. I have the numbers, by the way. This guy who was telling everyone, if I can hold, you can hold, he's down $10.7

million dollars today can you from yesterday is he down from the start or did he just earn 10 like is he up 18 million instead of 28 million yeah that that seems he's he is up 7.7 million instead of set 18.5 million okay all right now i. Now I understand. What a loser. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like, like he could cash out right now for 7.7 million, $776,000.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Cause he's principled. He's got,

I want to cash out for 18 million, which is why we wait till next Thursday. Is that, I don't know when it is. I think tomorrow something big happens. And that, I don't know when it is. Is it Friday? I think tomorrow something big happens. And like an interesting thing about, remember the very beginning thing, the short, I was explaining where I borrow stocks from Kyle and then give them back two weeks later. You can lose much more than you invested, right? So normally when I buy a stock for,

I'll put 10 grand into a stock the worst thing that can happen is I lose all 10 grand that stock drops to zero in this scenario where I the stock's at 100 bucks I borrow it from Kyle I can lose much more let's say about one share I can lose much more than 100 right that stock can go to 400 and now I have to buy it at 400 i've lost 300 if my math is right yeah yeah you know it's 400 loss yeah it you can lose far more than you risked oh it's beautiful that's not that phrasing is not great but i love this so much it's so beautiful and i love my favorite things to happen in so long like like i want to know who like the the who's making the most like like i bet there's a bunch of guys like i don't

know like what is the stock value what is his name i don't know what what was the stock at when they began like seven dollars 17 ish and it's currently at like 250 but it was at 450 roughly yeah 438 i think but right okay so at 2 p.m for like one minute so like 65 times their money roughly if they just bought shares if they bought options to buy shares then it multiplies out of the wazoo, right? Oh, shit. So I can buy a share for $100 a share, right? Or I can be like, all right, so the share is currently at $100. I'm going to buy the rights to this stock at $110. So it has to go up 10% for me to even be in the money. But for that same $100 that we made it,

I can get the option to purchase like a thousand of these things so it's there's a much bigger chance that i lose it all but if it does go up like i'm thinking then there's this chance that i make many multiples of what i invested oh god damn this is beautiful why didn't we know about this internet next time you're gonna do this shit shoot me a text yeah wouldn't you like to have slipped 50 60 grand into this thing oh my god i've seen i've seen a dozen steak and shakes go out of business here oh my god we could all be sitting on an extra million two million dollars today like like oh you're thinking so small you feel like you could be sitting on like 44 million or something like that yeah i mean i really lose the plot and i buy i mean i had to

really believed in this thing like you could have you could have been like kyle trust me do it just 50 000 you're like what do i trust you 5 000 worth i no no i trust you $5,000 worth. No, no, I trust you $50,000 worth. I don't know if I trust you a quarter million dollars worth. You're like, no, it's going to happen. You see, it's like this. The monkey has 15 bananas. Apes together strong. Apes together strong.

I love that meme. Hey, can I read that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you have it? I'm scrolling for it. It's really funny. Was that a green text? I think it is a green text. Oh, he's looking for it. I saw a green text that was like, 2022, walk into GameStop.

Chauffeur parks my car. Walk to Diamond Plated Game Rack. Pick up Cyberpunk 2078. Pick up, like, fucking gold-plated plated controller whatever the fuck i don't remember all right let's dumb this down for you apes let's say five bananas currently cost ten dollars one ape on the market has five bananas snake asks to borrow five bananas for a bit and instead sells the five bananas thinking that this price will go down shorting he thinks he can buy them later for less and give them back to ape

so he makes a profit on the difference group of apes notice what stupid snakes are doing and decide to buy all the bananas on the market until the snakes have no choice but to buy them all from the groups of apes in order to return what they borrowed. If group of apes stay strong, the price will go rocket ship emoji times three. Apes together strong. Reading that was so helpful. It really was. It really was.

Whoever wrote that up, like, thank you so much. Because I get that apes together strong. That I can wrap my head around. Apes together strong. God damn it. Why didn't we know about this? I go to that subreddit occasionally just for shits and giggles it's usually fun stuff thing is we know about the other side right we all know that gamestop is a shit company that's artificially driven way too high you know that yeah for sure yeah so why aren't we betting it

goes down how like what's the scoop on what's to stop you from shorting it today what i want to borrow those shares from kyle now and give them back two weeks is this a double scheme it's i mean this is not clever thinking like this i know it's yeah it seems like it's i understand this seems so volatile though that i'm afraid now like i'm afraid i'm not breaking even on gamestop i guarantee it but it's like let's put a couple thousand dollars in all right let's bet against it yeah i don't worth 250 a share gamestop is shit gamestop is blockbuster but customers hate them even more yeah like it's gonna hit $25 a share in a week. Yeah.

Or less. I was thinking GameStop has the future and business model of Blockbuster with the love of the customer of your cell phone provider. Yeah. They take that hatred. No one's nostalgic about GameStop. I would go if there were a Blockbuster down the street. You might go. I would actually go. There's a place. I think it's called about GameStop. I would go if there were a Blockbuster down the street. I'd go.

I would actually go. There's a place, I think it's called Videodrome in Atlanta that rents movies. I'd go. I'd go. It's kind of cool to walk around. They've got shit that you can't really find on the internet sometimes. It's nice to... Oh, yeah, they did make a Nightmare on Elm Street 27 or whatever.

It's fun to rent movies. I like it. Yeah, that was so much fun. There's nostalgia. There's that smell of the glue and the popcorn in there. Overpriced candy that had been there for far too long. Oh, way too long. You stopped at a gas station or an actual grocery store.

Only a fool purchases snacks at the Blockbuster. There's a reason I picked that for one of my first little post-high school jobs. It was like, this is the best place. This is my candy land. I love working here. The perks are worth, you wouldn't even have to pay me. I get to hang out amongst movies and video games all day, and I can take home five every night for free.

Wow. Yeah! It would help me pick a movie. movies and video games all day and i could take home five every night for free wow yeah it would help me pick a movie you go to blockbuster and there's like a wall devoted to whatever i'm like that one must be good remember that it'd be like wally and steven everybody who worked there a picture of them their favorite that seinfeld episode oh this is a gene pick elaine's like are you gene it's like a 60 i brought the beer and cigarettes gene is 16 years old and he's in a lot of trouble yes anyway this game stop shit has been blowing my mind it's no the news collusion angle of this

i can't tell. Maybe I give too much benefit of the doubt. I'm open to that idea. But I see these anchors on CNBC, these financial news networks, and they're sympathetic to their friends. And I'm like, is this an evil? Or is this like, I'm sympathetic to my friends too. Like, I don't think it's friends as much as they know who holds the cards as far as their job, as far as their future in that industry. You know, you want to be a CNBC talking head.

You do not come out against hedge fund hedge fund managers in this way. Like you, they know where their bread's buttered to use that phrase again. Okay. I see that. And I think it's valid. Is it not also possible that they actually know these hedge fund managers? They've known them for seven years now. They travel in the same circles and hang out at the same parties and just feel differently about them than maybe you and I do. If that's the case, then we should be disregarding everything they say on days more than just today. Everything that they've said is now tainted by. You know, that might be good advice. Everything that they've said is now tainted by the fact that, yeah, and you're right. That's exactly true.

They have a lot more in common with a hedge fund manager than they do me, you, or Kyle. So they are always going to take that side. When they go out to dinner, they're going with those people. When they have a social outing, that's where they go. They're not going to be held accountable ever to some guy in Iowa who put $30,000 in this. They don't spend New Year's Eve with predators. No, no, they don't. And so, yeah, these people are scumbags, I think.

Do you know that on Wall Street Bets, they're already rallying together to begin the class action lawsuit against Robin Hood? Yes, yes. How's that going to end? Is Robin Hood just done now? Can we bet against Robin Hood? Yeah, can we bet against Robin Hood? That's How's that going to end? Is Robin Hood just done now? Can we bet against Robin Hood? Yeah, can we bet against Robin Hood? That's going to go down. I started to explain Robin Hood

realizes that they are a vehicle being used to collude with. And I don't know where Robin Hood has the clear, obvious, right thing to do. Robin Hood is privately owned. Well, locking people's money out is probably not the right thing to do they're they're going to be in a lot of trouble Robin Hood is done Robin Hood

is done like I think scum was was he's like I'm signing I saw him saying that he's like well I look forward to being part of this class-action lawsuit now like I don't know if he had any GameStop stock like if he if he was invested at all but I know that he uses Robinhood and he couldn't get to his money today. Oh, interesting. I try not to bring politics into it. I remember Comey was in this position. If I recall, he said that there was no federal investigation into Hillary Clinton and then there wasn't. But then shortly afterwards, there was. So he went out and publicly said there is a federal investigation against Hillary Clinton. And he's like, I don't

know. Like, there's no good answer on this. The good answer would have been not to comment in the very first place. But he's like, after I went publicly and said there wasn't one and then that became untrue. What am I i like what's the best way to handle this situation there isn't a clear obvious right thing to do that's how i feel about oh there was an incoming investigation as head of the fbi maybe and i might be fucking up the details of that but uh um i feel like there's a parallel there in Robinhood. And it's like they know that their stuff is being, their service is being used to collude and artificially drive market prices up and sort of, you know, do some illegal fuckery. So do they halt that bad activity, which is clearly going to hook up the hedge funds? And that feels like illegal fuckery too.

Yeah. And so if I'm Robin hood, you have to choose between the illegal fuckery options in front of you. I don't know what's right. I don't, I think that they're not responsible for like, I'm sure there's insider trading that goes on all the, all the time, but Robin hood isn't responsible for it just because it happens through their

app. Like, like, like I don't think that they have a case here. Neither is AT&T where the message may have been transmitted, right? Yeah, exactly. Somehow on phone lines, everybody gets it, right? Everyone gets it.

No one ever holds Verizon responsibility for a conversation that happens between two people. But they do hold Facebook responsible for things that I say or Twitter. And they do hold, you know, Robinhood responsible for the trades I make. If Robinhood knows I'm doing illegal fuckery, somehow AT – I guess you have to keep your hands all the way off or all the way on and in between get you burnt maybe. Facebook's weird though because it actually has moderators. If the phone lines had moderators that were listening to everything we said and then they heard some illegal shit going on, they'd be like, whoa!

Well, keep it down over there, guys. With that mob talk, then I think they are culpable if they're helping to connect the mob knowingly and arrange some crimes to be done. Right. The parallels break down a little bit when you yeah i guess so yeah but but that is the the argument that people try to make

you know are we just the phone line or are we on the opposite end of the spectrum new york times which completely controls everything they say and do yeah well anyway um i think that like billionaires losing especially hedge fund billionaires, is just a fun thing for me. I'm glad it's happening. It can't affect me in a negative way. I can't imagine how it could. So I'm very happy for it. And I'm happy that people on Reddit were smart enough to like take the man down a notch.

I hope that they all get their money out and profit from it, and I hope that they all just fucking meme and meme and meme some more with their millions of dollars in profit, and I hope they do it again and someone fucking tells me

that. Yes, dude, we need to know. We need to follow the WallStreetBets subreddit for the next time we need to follow the wall street bet subreddit for the next time that guy freaks out all we had to do was send us a send us a message over there in the 50 discord i read all those you know you know just let me know next time you're gonna get together and take down a fucking hedge fund like i want to be part of this i mean these poor hedge fund billionaires i'd have gotten somebody to walk me through how to do it it you know have these billionaires considered budgeting you know better budget i mean i bet they own an iphone uh they could always learn to code they

could always install solar panels this is smart taylor i think they need to stop getting their coffee at starbucks and no more avocado toast. I love that. When anything goes bad for these people, even though they're all millionaires, even if everything goes as bad as possible, they're going to be fucking fine and live a wonderful life. Well, I don't know. This could be ruinous. Articles like this are why I'm not shorting GameStop. I just found this.

I was like, why don't people short GameStop? It is obviously, air quotes, the right thing to do. So now it is finally time to short GameStop. Their share price has risen mediocrity. I can't say the word right now. Meteorically. Meteorically, thank you. Anyway, here's a picture of it at $61,

which is like one quarter of what it is now. This article is from three days ago. Now it's time to short game stop i did that like i was looking at the stock price on google where it's like today you know one week max you look at max and it's just it's straight line because even the little variations aren't enough to really notice compared to the enormous pinnacle of 400. Did you see today? If you look at today's graph, it went up from like 158 to 202. It went up to $490.

And then it went down. Today it was at 490. Oh, I think I'm on target. In a four minute period, it exploded. I would imagine that tomorrow it's going to go way the fuck. All right. So let's look at what's changed today. I don't know when the hedge fund has to buy, but.

Is it tomorrow? I think so. I don't know when the hedge fund has to buy, but I would like to know because if it's, for example, next Wednesday, this thing is going to explode tomorrow when trading opens. I think a lot of shit happens tomorrow, which is the 29th for people watching this in the future. What have you? Friday,

the 29th, I think is when like it all goes down. That's when, you know, that's a damn shame because if it were next Wednesday, then it would be worth buying this thing at 200 because the media attention it's gotten today, like makes all the

reddit shit it just it pales in comparison to what it's gotten today it's outrageous i'm getting it from everywhere it's like like all sorts of youtube videos are cropping up like it's massive my wife this i'm sorry she listens to the news a lot to bet to uh add to your point and uh she's always got you know usually some left- wing news person talking in her ear. She wears wireless headphones all the time. They're talking about GameStop today. They're talking about AOC and Ted Cruz being on the same team for two and a half minutes. And Trump Jr. Yeah.

And Trump Jr. All on the same team. And I saw like Mark Cuban, a couple of guys from like the or not the apprentice uh shark tank yeah i'm like yeah serves them right that one guy mr wonderful was like these predatory people serves them right like beating at their own game like paraphrasing something to that effect but i was like nice seems like everybody likes this except for the the finance people in media and the media as a whole and the people getting fucked themselves in the hedge funds. And that's good.

If you find yourself allied against those forces, I think you're on the right side. My exposure to it. Hasn't been quite as one sided as yours. Like I was reading a lot of market watch today and they were explaining Reddit culture and what attendee is, what diamond hands are paper hands and more. And,

uh, it seemed unbiased to me. I saw them call Redditors alt-right. Oh, I did see that. I think the New York Times had to issue a retraction. I think she just told me that, so I didn't see it firsthand.

But I guess New York Times tried to link Wall Street bets to I don't know, Proud Boys or something, and there's no link there. They're a non-political group. I'm sure there's left and right. Donald Trump has been warning us about the lying New York Times for years now. True. True.

That's true. I mean, no, no, that was the Wall Street Journal that told us that PewDiePie was a Nazi. Like four years ago. They still haven't let that one in. You're a dangerous gamer. Didn't he wear an SS hat, though i don't know because i i look i look first of all i don't think that did he put it all on it was like today's be your hero day or was it a bad taste meme and i don't even know if he did that yeah i i don't know if he

didn't believe you if he did i don't know yeah i i don't care if he did you know i hope he did it might have been i've shit in the woods before you got a pair i am not see i was it vox that did it when i googled it i found vox i remember it was wall street journal okay i read the article i read the headline of the article, what they had said, Reddit, many members of which are linked to alt-right groups or something like that. I don't know. Like I said, if there were more time, if this thing weren't going to go down tomorrow, then this thing's going up higher. If this thing goes down Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday next next week then it's going much much higher because like it won't just be like fucking pepe diamond hands over there buying up shares it'll be mom and pop and everybody on main street i i i'm gonna get roasted on the internet for this, but I'm kind of of the paper hands opinion.

I'm like, dude, I think tomorrow is the day everyone gets out and you're going to lose this game of musical chairs if you're diamond hands. But people like me would cause this not to work. And we'll see. We'll see. I have two paramotor friends. One's a diamond hand

and one's a paper hand. And he's like, man, I'd have made so much more if I was diamonds. Game's not over yet. Let's watch. I don't know. I gotta ask somebody.

Are you asking me something? Is that what's coming? No, no, no. I'm asking Chiz if it's too late to buy games. I feel like it's the stupidest question i could possibly ask but it's like if there's a chance that it's not too late to buy it at 240 on the hopes that it's gonna go to 350 or 850 by by wednesday of next week i don't know because i don't know anything about this i don't know when it's going down. I get the concept

and I understand that like this thing has gotten a lot of attention and that I would think more people would want to buy in and then the price would go even higher than it is currently. So, efficient market theory,

efficient market hypothesis. This is, you don't know this already, right? These are words yeah even if you do i'm sure it's new to a listener out there the thought process is this that regular people like us can't like all stocks are fairly valued because whatever knowledge is public enough for you or i to know it is already priced into it. Right. So if it's something like, I don't know, we all know the price of gas will go up from here, right? Right now we're in a

pandemic. People are driving less. That's going to change a year from now. Price of gas is going to go up and that's going to hurt big car sales, big truck sales. That is already priced into the makers of big trucks. People, this is widely known. It's not a surprise. Or you could go the other way. Cruise liners are going to return. Is it a good time to invest in a cruise line right now? Well, it is no secret that the cruise industry will likely revive sometime in 2022. So whatever clever idea you think you have is already priced into that stock. That's efficient market theory. And this GameStop kind of violates, you know, that it says that it's wrong. But what you're doing is you're like, hey, you know what?

Like you're kind of a late comer to this party saying like, I'm going to make a bet. Clearly GameStop fuckery is about. That's already priced into it. I feel like we don't have insider knowledge, and therefore it's very hard to make predictions that aren't already priced into it. I think what's not priced into it since trading ended today was all the attention that this has gotten. Huh. So there's aftermarket trading happening now.'s down to 198 right does that sound right

yeah i have no idea i and this is from i just put in the article i just this is from time.com this is some guy talking about this they use the memes of the far right broderick said about the wall street bets community i don't want to go so far as to say there's like a fascist or a thaitian bent here but they're using the tools that these groups have built it's the same playbook they're just doing it on the stock market as opposed to on the trump campaign and it's like can you say the news outlet on that again that was time so i think they had to retract that and it's an embarrassment like that person did less research for the new york times than i did for painkiller already like that's some horse shit right there it's an embarrassment like that person did less research for the new york times than i did for

painkiller already like that's some horse shit right there it's clearly someone just trying they're like what do we do when we want to well we say they're racist and bad how do we get from this stock market i'd just nagel something okay it's it's a problem right because that will and should dent new york times credibility right new york times putting out like that kind of bullshittery this is just time this is time the new york times probably did a different one this is time oh time magazine i'm sorry i added my own words yeah i just put in the right wing uh and then game stop just to see what came up on google yeah so time magazine i don't know how credible they were before this, but he must have invented that out of whole cloth.

That's not there. If you spend any time on Wall Street Bets, it's not very political. I don't know. This guy, he studies online culture. I feel like Bane in this situation. situation like you may have adopted online culture but i was born and bred of online culture yeah a newsletter based around web culture i was told this morning that my dad has stock in gamestop because he's a robin hood user and

he's like 70 or something and has no idea what's going on that's hilarious. That's funny. I've always made $44 million at the expense of some hedge fund. I put all my life savings in GameStop. I love checks as a boy. Checkers company.

Chess, too many rules I like simple games they have that cup with the ball on the string you can get there don't you love class warfare dude that's what it is

on a different topic if we're done with this unless there's new news that comes up because this is so interesting yeah for sure like kind of on the class warfare thing i'll make it quick but i found a new tv show um that's pretty good all right it's called snow piercer you remember the movie snow piercer yes where they're on the train that the world is frozen over you're eating the bug bars eating the bug bars spoilers spoiler alert yeah whenever they um so there's a tv show uh and it's actually pretty fucking good like one season's already out and the second season is like

debuting right now like uh season two episode one came out last week what's it uh uh i think it's on tnt but i watched it on hbo And I think it might be on Amazon too. It's pretty good. I liked it. It's extremely violent. I've seen enough nudity to keep me interested. And I like the characters. At first I was like, how are you

going to make that movie into a TV show and keep that going episodically? Is it an even bigger train? It's the even bigger train it's the same train it's the same train it's just a different story it's you know it's it's there's still to it or no it's this is ignoring the movie it's just a movie again but longer it's all right no no it's a tv show called snowpiercer so it's the movie but shorter i get it say no more tv show called snowpiercer about the movie snowpiercer no forget the movie okay i've forgotten it what does it have to do with the movie everything and. And nothing.

The characters are all different. The story is different. However, it does take place on a train that was created by Mr. Wilford. There are the people called the tailies who are in the tail of the train who are like the shitty class who

are really just stowaways. They didn't have tickets. They barged onto the train who were like the the shitty class who who like are really just stowaways they didn't have tickets you know they they barged onto the train and they got shoved back there and they've had to resort to cannibalism and they're all filthy back there and then there's the third class second class and first class people the first class people are all snooty and they've got like hundreds of millions of dollars invested that's why they are in the first class and jennifer connellyy is like the star of the show. And she's like the head of hospitality. And she's like the face,

the forward-facing face of Mr. Wilford, as it were. She's the one who's out there solving problems and getting to the bottom of things. If I were an uber-wealthy guy who was making a train for this purpose, I would never make the train big enough to support thousands of stowaways should that happen. He didn't. That's why.

Elite rich people. Yeah, he didn't. That's why they're like really having a hard time back there in the back and eating those disgusting bars of food and resorting to cannibalism. And they're always killing them off and taking away their breeding rights. Oh. Well, I guess that makes sense. You are on a train. You can't be having a bunch of kids.

I highly value my breeding rights. You might. I feel like, look, I don't want kids. I just want practice. Oh, you can have all the practice you want, but they sterilize the women. Oh, that's actually, that's fine. That doesn't affect me at all. Not at all.

Not at all. Never mind. No problem with that at all. You just got to get used to this all happens in the first episode, but just to give you a general idea of what the story is about there, a murder happens aboard the train amongst like the first or second class people, like the snooty people, and they got to get to the bottom of it. So Jennifer Connelly finds out, but by searching all through the pastor manifest that in the tail of the,

of the train, there is a guy who used to be a homicide detective. So they pull him out of the tail to, to like investigate this murder. And, and so he's suddenly getting exposed to like real food and being able to see the sun for the first time in seven years and like going through all of that and it's pretty fucking cool to like see him slowly like you know get out of the haze of living in the shit end of the of the uh

of the train and like get accustomed they come down to the shit end of the train. They can ask any occupation. I'm standing up. We have a professional cocksucker. You let me in the front. You let me in the front. Do we have a guy we can just beat indiscriminately? I'm your man. I'm your man.

I can take a punch. Headshots only, please. I've got Homer Simpson. Can I have a cup of water? Kyle, why are they stuck on the train? It's important. So what happened was use of fossil fuels, global warming was happening. And then I think there was also like a war, maybe a nuclear war.

Yeah, I think. And the world was getting really hot as a result of all of that so the scientists created this stuff um that they would launch into the atmosphere to create cool a cooling effect but it sort of ran away with them and it cooled like the surface is negative 120 degrees celsius and i had a job and i had to google that that's negative 180 degrees fahrenheit so it's so cold that's one oh jesus fucking christ it's going to be freezing out here it's so cold on the outside that they utilize the cold air outside as like a torture and execution method oh like that they stick the okay well they put the people's hand out the porthole and

freeze their arms off and then shatter them with a hammer. But then there's a scene where they have a hose hooked up so they can just apply a little cold air at a time and freeze a finger off if they want. And the execution method is called ice lungs or something like that

where they put a breathing apparatus on you and they hook the cold air up so you inhale it and then just freeze your insides and kill you that way like like there's all after that do they eat them after they compost you oh i was wondering why they didn't just airlock them out like yeah or just throw them off yeah because of the limited resources they want the bodies for compost and uh the show does a really good job of showing just how enormous the train is. It's over 1,000 cars long. And there's this part where they're in the tail and they're talking.

They're like, they're never going to give us our own beds and a place to stay. He's like, dude, they've got a bowling alley up there. All right. They have room for us. Like, cause they've got a bowling alley. They've got like an aquarium. Can you imagine a dumber sport to play on a tram moving?

Maybe, maybe pool. At least you're not going to die from a pool table. Dude, on these Disney cruises, there's ping pong tables up on the deck next to the pools and stuff. And it's like everything's moving around. Imagine ping pong in a boat that's going 19 miles an hour through 30 mile an hour wind. This is the worst game ever. The balls just zip it all balls one so many balls just go

into the sea you hit it at the other guy and stops it goes back at you like i mean pretty good show um and there's a lot of class warfare going on that's what made me think of it is uh this wall street bad. Some of the first class passengers are just like actually literally evil. So that's really fun. Jennifer Connelly is super hot as she always is. How far are you into it? I finished the first season today and I watched the first episode of the second season. And again, I like to avoid spoilers, but they introduced a huge new character played by an actor we all know

in the beginning of the second season. Like a really... We don't even know who he's playing. Al thinks it is a spoiler, so maybe take his judgment. It's a big actor. He's in some of our

favorite movies and TV shows. Tom Cruise. Dude, can I change the TV show? Have you guys been watching WandaVision? Oh my fucking god. Alright. Do you want me to

start on WandaVision or do you want to go? I'm going to take that as a yes. Oh, I've seen it all. Please. What is it? Wandaavision is such a piece of shit fucking show i can't even tell you the piece of shit fucking show called wandavision okay first of all makers of wandavision nobody's impressed nobody's impressed that you can fucking masturbate your fucking videographer cock off and show us some 50s, 60s, and 70s era TV in each episode. All right. No one fucking cares that you're filming in front of a live studio audience.

No one fucking cares that you are cutesy enough to call it WandaVision because the character's names are Wanda and Vision. No one fucking cares. I love Marvel. I love all of the Marvel shit. Some of it to a lesser extent than others, I'll admit, but most of it I think is very good for comic book shit. I know it's not fucking theater, but I enjoy it and I've seen it all. This is the worst thing they've ever fucking thought up. This is not about superheroes living undercover in a neighborhood which is what i thought it was supposed to be no no no no first of all none of this is even fucking happening and that's the only reason i keep watching i'm gonna spoil the shit out of this get ready you won't you're gonna be all the better for it they spend about they spend exactly 30 what the backup like what is

this about who is wanda who'sanda? Let me do this real quick. Wanda is Scarlet Witch. Scarlet Witch? That's not going to help him. He's seen two Marvel movies ever. She is arguably the most powerful character in the Marvel Universe. She fucks Hugh Jackman in that movie, right?

No. Then I don't know who that is. She has the powers to alter reality. Apparently, she's the whole Infinity Gauntlet wrapped into her essence or something like that. She nearly beat Thanos single-handedly had he not turned the rain fire thing down during the Endgame battle scene. Very, very, very, very powerful. She is in love with Vision, who's also one of the more powerful and truly good guys in Marvel. Okay.

She is in love with Vision, who's also one of the more powerful and truly good guys in Marvel. Okay. Vision died in, what was before Endgame? What was that? Infinity War. Infinity War. Yeah. So the love of her life died in Infinity War. And now this takes place after that.

And now this takes place after that. And in her like imagination or altering actual reality, we're a little confused. Is this like idyllic 1950s, leave it to beaver kind of show. That's episode one. Yeah. Yeah. Where she and vision are living this fantasy of silly 1950s.

In black and white. In black and white. And four by three aspect ratio. And then it goes to 60s and then it goes to 70s. And throughout the show, there are very little drops and hints that like this silly neighbor with dumbass dialogue is actually another witch. And this person is actually this.

I don't know the Marvel Universe super well, so you can slip lesser known superheroes past me and I don't catch it. But apparently, everyone we've seen is a superhero. I watch the Easter egg YouTube channels that explain stuff to me. Okay. Oh, you don't watch those?

No. So like that dumbass neighbor that ran his head trimmer through the brick wall. Sure. He's like a superhero. The woman who gets a lot of screen time, she has a brooch. Yeah, the comedic actress. She's been in a lot of comedies.

I know exactly. She may be a witch mentor of Scarlett. So she's trapping other superheroes in a fake reality with her? We don't know. scarlet so she's trapping other superheroes in a fake reality with her or she's we don't know what it looks like to me is that like either either the evil organization in the marvel universe which is uh hydra has her and they have her in some sort of a fucking alternate reality and some sort of a like building somewhere and they're like they're like manipulating her like draw power from her or something that's

probably the big ending is that they've got her in like some sort of suspended animation reality and her dreams are powering some sort of fucking doomsday machine or something like that because none of this is happening because vision is fucking dead first of all like how do you know wait wait you said that this will because the thing that makes vision be alive is one of the infinity stones that they put inside of his head because he's an artificial reality created by Tony Stark in Age of Ultron, which is like the second Avengers movie. And Thanos pulled that out of his fucking head, put it in his gauntlet, and in the end game, Tony Stark snaps his fingers and destroys the gauntlet thereby destroying Vision Vision has been dead for two movies and he's 100% dead at the end of end game Vision's dead no way Scarlett Johansson not Scarlett Johansson Scarlett whatever brought

him back so it's no way as you're watching this actually sequence Kyle and I diverge there I think that she brought him back she has time travel I don't know how the fuck she brought him back, but I think that he's going to be alive in this somehow. And I also don't think that she's being controlled. I think that she's the controller and that she set up this environment that everybody else would like to pierce and bring her back to the normal world but that that that i think is possible okay and but to where kyle started i'm kind of there too it's almost as if this thing about making it a sitcom from the 50s 60s and 70s is a social experiment to see how much fucking political capital from the marvel universe they could spend we're gonna make the shittiest fucking most awful terrible distortion of a marvel universe thing that you love and see how long you're willing to sit through this bullshittery i would rather watch wolverine the gay porn years than this like like when wolverine really hit rock bottom and he was no longer doing that bare-fisted boxing thing we saw him doing in Alaska.

This is when he was sucking dick for three years in Miami. Like, that would be far more interesting. Maybe a claw slips and he circumcises a guy. Actually, you said it. Let me tell you more. Wolverine, you're the only porn actor who has a regenerating virgin asshole. He needs you. Every scene is a virgin. We're penetrating scene with you we've got a japanese businessman who will

pay top dollar to watch someone fuck a hole in your skull and you can do it every week it's insane no it's so fucking bad and i've watched it i keep watching it for that 30 seconds that they slip in at the end of every episode where they're like, oh, by the way, the Marvel Universe exists and all of your favorite superheroes are just out there. Like in the last episode, that black woman slips through a portal and now she's outside some sort of a giant chain link fence enclosed area where some facility is and there's spotlights on her and there's a whole team of soldiers and stuff swarming in on her like,

oh, yeah, what happened in there? What you just say during the show that was a the clue she told she somebody killed somebody maybe yeah she she was like thanos killed so and so or your brother uh petro or whatever his name is yes yeah she mentioned her brother petro because like that's the thing like one of the twin maybe yeah one is she's like I used to have a twin brother named Pietro and and she and the black lady's like yeah um Ultron killed him yeah yeah and and Wachovia or whatever not Wachovia wherever it was that fucking made up European country it wasn't it wasn't Wakanda and it wasn't it wasn't wakanda and it wasn't wakovia because that's a bank i think it's sarkovia i think i combined wakanda and and uh sarkovia it's something like that it's made of marvel shit she's like yeah ultron killed him and she's like wait what did you say because it was like a knowledge that came from outside of her little, what I think to be is her created little vision world and black and white or

whatever. Yeah. Yeah. She's got, it's like, she's had a mental breakdown perhaps. And like, this is her like safe place.

And they're trying to either pull her out of that or, but I also have seen like little hints at Hydra. Like, like I saw the commercial for the Hydra watches that she watched on TV or something like that. You know, it's got that mini headed snake thing. Well, it's a Hydra. Like, like I saw the commercial for the Hydra watches, um, that, that she watched on TV or something like that. You know, it's got that mini headed snake thing. Well, it's a Hydra.

That's what a Hydra is. Look, I, I can't tell you how upset I am. And I keep watching this shit. I'm gonna keep watching it, but I'm, you hate it.

I've never heard you more than that. I've never hated a show this much before i hate it fun and hating a show so fucking much it's marvel they still have political capital left with me or social capital whatever you want that intro with the no no no no no no no no no and all the marvel shit flying around and like yeah all right it's like pavlovian dog response when i see that. I'm like, oh, popcorn time. This is going to be some good.

Oh, it's bewitched this week. If I was telling a story and I opened it with Taylor, wait for it. And then the first 40 seconds was boring. You'd be like, oh, it's coming. It's coming. That's what WandaVision is doing. There's this, and they keep giving you this little wait for it. Like Kyle says, 30 seconds in color.

And there are a lot of Easter eggs in this. I can't catch them myself. I'm not that deep in the lore. I'm sure I'm not catching them all, but I see a lot of them. So are they solving mysteries? No. Oh, that's the worst part. That's the worst part.

There's an entire episode where they compete in a talent show. That's true. That's the entire episode. There is a talent show for a black and white 1950s Leave it to Beaver style town. It's like I love Lucy and then Leave it to Beaver and then Bewitched is what it felt like to me as we're going through these episodes this sounds like if you put me in charge of a marvel show and i intentionally sabotage made it awful try and ruin the superhero trend so that you guys are both right except that there's all this under the surface stuff happening these hints like i watch wandavision hate it and then afterwards they're like hey did you see these two lines? When someone says, this is all about the kids. And then she says, you know, that something,

this is what they mean by that. And did you notice this brooch this person is wearing? That's an indication that she's actually this guy over here. Did you see that? And like all these subtleties that I don't catch on my personal surface like it's like reading animal farm and thinking it's a story about animals on a farm when it's really this deeper meaning about communism and class space yeah yeah so i you know i read animal farm and i liked it but i only understood the top layer oh this is like babe okay and then in school like it would go and the teacher would explain all the rest of the depth to it that's what youtube is doing for me and i still don't like it i still wish they

would just tell great stories but i i know it it's because of all the details that they put into it it's like there's hints that the marvel quality is still there. They're just holding it back. It's so goddamn bad. And look, TV is the best medium for telling stories. Like as much as I love the Marvel universe, I was so excited when I heard about this show. I saw it was black and white in the previews, but I was like, that's probably a joke. You know, like there's got to be a reason for this. Like something's going on here. Okay, on board i'm on board like i heard that that there's some sort of a harry potter tv

show in development at hbo like they're it's either in development or pre-development or something like that like and i was like oh my god that'll be so fucking good that's one of my favorite universes i'll i'll watch the shit out of that I can't wait to see who they cast everyone as. It's going to be great. You know, just like the Lord of the Rings thing over on Amazon. Oh, man, that's going to be so good. I hope they do it well. But that's how I felt about this going in.

Like a TV show in the Marvel Universe is going to be so cool. They're going to be able to like slip so many side characters in that normally wouldn't get screen time in a movie. They're going to be able to explore these little like the X-Men cartoons. I don't know if you've watched those. They were really good. Like, like you were able to slip in so many characters and go down so many cool storylines with the X-Men cartoons. That's what I always, and that's what made me love Marvel originally. And why like, I was always so excited when Marvel caught on, became these billion dollar franchises, because like, as a kid, the X-Men was my favorite cartoon. I loved superheroes.

I loved the X-Men and the Fantastic Four and all that shit. This is so goddamn bad, though. I really hope... Here's what I hope happens. I hope that... Because I see it gets good reviews. I hope that it's just like... I hope these people that are reviewing it are the only people who like it. And they're just sucking off Marvel dick because they

want to keep their jobs. And the vast majority of people are like us and they fucking despise what's happening right now. And really wish there were some sort of a like fantastic four TV show or some shit like that, where they just fought fucking crime and it was dark and gritty and people fucking died and there was blood. Like I, we love the boys. All right. Like, like give me the boys, but a little softer in the Marvel universe. And I'll be so fucking happy. Like you don't have to fucking mouth fuck one of the superheroes in episode one. Okay. You don't, that's true. You don't, you don't have to mouth fuck like rogue right off the bat for one thing she would like kill you with her mouth because she can't touch other people you

know that's part of her deal but for another you just you wouldn't mouth fuck rogue or any of the the x-men or any of the superheroes in a marvel comic maybe that one guy with the wings oh angel angel yeah yeah i might mouth yeah i mouth fuck him thanks thanks for backing i hope i hope it gets i hope it gets canceled i hope no one is watching it i hope everyone hates it the only thing that i think would prevent that is because it's on like hbo and not like a standard network like netflix is so quick to cut the cord on stuff. It's on Disney+. Oh, I'm so sorry. It is on Disney+.

Of course it is. They own Marvel. Yeah. I hope it gets canceled. I hope that this... Because I think that if it's allowed to go forward, if people actually keep watching this, then it's going to set a bad precedent.

And they're going to be able to make more artsy... I want to use the F word. Artsy shit like this. I mean, I don't want to scare you, but pretty soon if this doesn't stop, every single superhero movie that gets released is going to have the same formulaic plot.

Tell you, they never get so lazy that they just manufacture and hope people that hope people don't notice because this guy has wings. This guy can shoot even colder ice. That's how Flash goes. In Flash, every fight is based on who can go

a little bit faster than the next person. Week after week they just fight to eke out that 1 percent more speed when you guys talked about like some of the flashes abilities before i was blown away because like in my head i was like fast like wow you can go get help and it's like no he can actually uh warp time and space by skipping and like all sorts of different atoms that vibrate his atoms at a molecular level that's exactly where I was heading he could literally walk

through walls and stuff without damaging them by vibrating every atom in his body and like that's just a lot of atoms to keep track of I'm sorry a lot of atoms to keep track of look I agree with you Taylor many of the Marvel movies do follow the same exact formulate plot where like the bad guy

especially in the first movie is just a slightly different version of the good guy look at iron man one right oh what's what's his nemesis it's an even greedier billionaire with a giant iron man suit it's bigger though and you know i interrupt i was literally going to correct you and say, no, no, you mean Iron Man 2, which is the guy with the Iron Man whip where he fights a different version. No, you did it right. And I can't even talk shit about Watch and stuff like that. What am I going to do? Rewatch The Simpsons again? Watch more King of the Hill? So WandaVision, they just give you a drop of promise, and I'm clinging to that.

they just give you a drop of promise and I'm clinging to that, but I am also completely willing to just full 80 or one 80 on them and say this sucked all along. If they canceled it tomorrow, I would be happy. They do. I used to watch lost. You guys have heard me rant against the TV. Oh God.

Yeah. This is very similar. Yeah. Lost was a show. It was like a 90 minute trailer for the next show. You wanted to is very similar yeah lost was a show it was like a 90 minute trailer for the next show you wanted to see or a 60 minute trailer for the next show you wanted to see every week every week it was like whoa what's around the corner this isn't even that okay this is a 30 second teaser for what we're gonna might find out about next week with 40 minutes of fuckery

going on before it like what was filled with easter eggs though i feel like the number of um seconds that are like hints is higher because you're not watching all the youtube videos that help you find yeah look and the thing about that is like, like I, I get, I pick up some of them, definitely not all of them. I don't like watching those YouTube videos. I usually do that after something is completely over. Like, like I did that with game of Thrones. Like I would never watch that shit. Um, because I don't know, I felt like there might be some spoil inadvertent spoilers or something like that. I might see a thumbnail I don't want to see, and that could really ruin shit for me in any case I'm getting some of them

but the fact that like I'm kind of steeped in Marvel like like I I feel like I'm 75 out of 100 on my Marvel knowledge or something like that and if if if like 80 of these are going over my head, then again, it's somebody jerking themselves off with how fucking smart they think they are. Like, this is Marvel we're talking about. This isn't fucking, this isn't art. All right, get over yourself. Get over yourself. It's not fucking art.

Okay. This is about like magical people who fight other magical people that's all i want to fucking see like get some fucking magic people in there fighting each other god damn it i don't care that whole that whole thing in the comedy is i don't know about you is it not completely lost on you every ounce of comedy that this show tries to throw out there it's like it's supposed to be bad like they're not trying to be funny. The laugh track on the talent show, like,

okay. So for people not watching this talent show, it's not a lab track, by the way. Uh, one episode was live. The other two were not. Oh,

okay. Really? And, um, uh, so anyway, what happened is vision accidentally ate bubble gum. And then they show this cartoon

animation where the bubble gum got into his little robot body and jammed up the works giving Vision an effect that was very close to being drunk so anyway Vision would do like actual magic and then Wanda would poof in a silly explanation

for why he was flying like there's a rope there or whatever. There's mirrors around or something like that. And all like to the left. And it's like, this is so bad. Like children are too sophisticated. Corny. And like, again, like if children are too sophisticated for this show,

are you like fucking with me what are you doing you like i don't know i think they're trying to duplicate that corny humor from the 50s 60s and 70s like like that that i love lucy leave it to beaver bewitched shit and like again that's just them masturbating to how well they can duplicate like a style gone by and and i don't fucking care because frankly i didn't like any of that shit either there's no fucking way i would ever watch an episode of i love leave it to beaver i love lucy or bewitched today i saw that i used to watch tv land as a kid when i was like 10 11 12 I'd watch TV land I like Gilligan's Island I like uh um um what's the one uh New York is where I'd rather stay I get

allergic smelling hay what's the one um uh Green Acres okay Green Acres like all that shit uh but that one's before my time they were all before our time they're black and white jaja gabor was hot in that she's almost certainly dead now it's bad it's so bad i think there's some other shit that's supposed to be coming out like it's supposed there's supposed to be the one where it's the black guy with the wings and hawkeye um what is his name well he was supposed to take over for captain america but i think he's just like black eagle what's his name i'm gonna have it in a second his falcon falcon okay falcon and hawkeye i guess is that the name of the show? That I don't know. But his name is definitely Falcon. I think Sam Wilson is his regular in-game name. Okay.

Yeah. At first, I had no interest in that. But now I'm just like, maybe that'll be the saving grace for these Marvel TV shows. Because WandaVision has me so upset every time I watch an episode. And I think a new episode tonight. Maybe. It's Friday. So midnight or I forget what show.

Mandalorian. You were like, they come out so early and well that it's like it comes out Thursday. I think maybe they're doing the same thing. Yeah, like midnight rolls over and they release it or something like that. I don't know. I don't know know but yeah so i hope it fails i hope it i hope that it because i feel like they turn the corner i want wandavision to be good i'm a little upset they spent three whole episodes just like teasing us with bullshittery they're gonna spend 10 fucking episodes teasing

us with bullshit is it 10 or 6 oh i don't know i'm just saying i think they're gonna spend the whole fucking season is what i'm getting at teasing us with bullshit I really think that um at this point I'm so much more interested in like the Obi-Wan Kenobi series that's coming out that's gonna be six hour long episodes with Ewan McGregor like ah I'm so much more interested in that than I am this Marvel crap. I looked it up. It is nine episodes, six hours of content. Yeah. I guess they'll get longer.

It seems like they've been a little short. Yeah, I think the last one was really short, like 30 minutes it felt like. It was just her getting pregnant and having a baby or two babies. I hated that. I hated everything about that. i hated that gimmick with the stork i hated her like supposedly being able to hide a pregnancy by holding a pot of a basket of fruit oh like what do you this is the same show yeah yeah god this is so stupid it really is it's it's 50 60 70s comedy i'm like there it's a trick this is actually a really good show pretending to be a really bad show just wait here i'm still waiting i'm still waiting

but it is a really good show pretending to be super bad and someday they'll stop pretending and put out a good show you know what you know what would actually get me on board with this if they had done it this way if everyone in the neighborhood had been a main marvel character but just like if tony stark had been the neighbor and you'd be like whoa what wait wait she doesn't know who that that's tony if tony was the boss if tony was vision's boss and he showed up and he's just like yeah we do computation here blah blah blah the wife's kind of hungry could you get dinner ready you'd have been like dazzled by robert denny jr because he's always fucking funny but but but you'd also been like what's going on here nobody does she not recognize fucking iron man oh something deep's going on here

like like that would have been so fucking cool but no he does get paid a million dollars a minute so that's rough he does Maybe he donated his time. How many fake 50s dream sequence backyard barbecues can he come to before you're like, and again, she doesn't recognize. Well, I figured like a different character every episode or five characters every episode. I want to say maybe every single person you've seen on screen is a marvel superhero that i've never heard of yes yeah and um you know we'll see now there may be some of the people at work but like you know that dopey guy with the mustache who's kind of slow moving he looks kind of like david schwimmer yeah he's he's very jewish i'd have to look at which one he is um the hebrew hammer the boss he's a superhero

that you know i don't know about his wife uh from that she's from that 70s show okay the the black guy over in the hedge trimmer he's a superhero yeah that was weird the weird comedy woman who spends a lot of time on screen she's yeah i i don't know her name but i've seen her in a lot of comedic stuff in the past the black woman that knew how his how her brother died um she did you watch marvel and i'm sorry captain marvel i watched 40 minutes of that and i've had enough all right i like cat marvel more than you did i guess but as a pilot she had a best friend. The best friend was a black pilot. Oh was that her? Yeah.

Okay. Did you ever see Captain Marvel's comments about like white men and that whole rant she went on at their award show? If I did I forgot it. Oh man if you watched it it's it's very upsetting she triggered a bunch of people yeah it's it's like it's like a bunch of white dudes that don't like this or that

like just so you know white dudes we're not making content for you this is for women of color and biracial teens and and she like breaks down like like this group of people that encompasses like 30 million people on the planet and it's like okay so you made you made some content for 30 million people and now you're upset that your product failed okay that's like me making like like like that like even with the movie a superhero movie like wonder woman that more well she there were absolutely more girls dragged to that superhero movie by their boyfriend than there were like girl power girls like yes so it's over a billion at the box office i don't think people think of it as a failure just by comparison black panther 1.3

captain marvel 1.1 well yeah that's a billion that's a bunch of money it's just i mean it's a bunch of money billions a lot to me it's it's much money it's in the bottom three of all marvel movies for me um oh yeah as far as like movies that you know i think captain america or um iron man 3 is garbage thor uh dark planet Planet, Dark World, something like that. I think it's Thor 3. It might be Thor 2. Yeah, Thor Ragnarok is 3. And that's great.

Thor 2 is garbage for me. And I didn't like Black Panther very much. I didn't like when all the black men started barking like monkeys. And I also didn't like that they they uh they treated uh bilbo baggins uh like a piece of shit and called him a colonizer because that that that's like some that that's a little too woke for me when you start calling any white man i colonizer like it start start wanting to put a hood on or something over there it's just like you go you're coming in too hot.

Like, calm down. You can't call the only white character in the movie a fucking colonizer when he's just trying to get along with you. They could have called him anything they wanted. He's a white guy in a superhero movie. Nobody's going to get mad. I didn't like that.

And I just didn't think it was a very good movie. It was just okay. It was okay. It's not in my bottom three, but it's in the bottom five of all marvel movies and captain marvel is right there in the bottom three is it better than the hulk movie with uh edward norton it's been too long for me wow that's a bad movie no no i'm you misunderstood what i was trying to say i maybe i misspoke the edward norton movie is worse oh i couldn't okay because i can't imagine a worse

movie i remember seeing that in theaters with my mom and like it just does like split screen shots the whole time where it's like showing the hulk walking away and like also his face walking towards you and they sometimes they have like five different cameras on there it was clearly some dickhead who thought he was revolutionary I think they were trying to duplicate the frames in a comic book page or something like that yeah it was not cool another movie that had that beautiful actress who's in Snowpiercer she was the

love interest in that movie Jennifer Connelly Jennifer Connelly super hot you know another show that I started it's funny because like four and a half like four years ago a little over that when I like decided like alright I'm gonna work out a fuck ton five days a week minimum always like the first show I put on for my first workout I'm like I need to feel bad I need to not get into this and be like this isn't worth it and so I put on Spartacus from 2010 the stars series if you

guys have seen yeah oh I love it I love it i'm re-watching it now which made me think of it but back then i started watching it and every dude in that show is shredded and they are real shredded not painted on abs like 300 oh i'm sorry i'm i would you said spartacus i thought 300 and'm like, they're absolutely painted on. Don't fuck with me on this. But Spartacus, you're right. Spartacus wasn't saying it. If you've seen that.

These guys are like the guy who plays Crixus is just fucking. Oh, Crixus is a fucking beefcake. And I remember watching that, like, working out being like, Crixus, he's the one. He's the undefeated goal. You know, he's the one. He's the undefeated goal. He's the one dicking down all the rich ladies too. He's the one that gives Spartacus a hard time when he shows up because he thinks he's a pussy.

And he's fucking Xena. And he's fucking Lucy Lawless. He's like, did I not dick you down well, Domino? My mind is just elsewhere today, Crixus. I hope he literally said dick you down I did not think I pleased you Domna pretty much yeah

and she's like I just must have you fuck me so it may take so the seed may take hold and it's like and not only are all the men like just like top .001% the women are insanely hot. Like maybe Lucy Lawless isn't everyone's cup of tea. And her husband.

And her husband. He's literally a below average guy. He's there because he's a good actor. That's why he's there. He would be the ugliest guy on this show. He would be the ugliest guy on this show. He would be the ugliest guy on this show. Yeah. Yeah.

Absolutely. A hundred percent. Yeah. And the least fit. Like that guy has, like when he's amongst those people, it's not even, it looks bad.

It is funny though, how like he acts the shit out of everyone else in their scenes together. He's just such a tremendous actor, but then you're right the physique comparison it's like that they hired a guy who's six foot 11 and a professional bodybuilder boxer to play theocles like and they just painted him like an albino guy yeah and it was like that guy was horrifying and also huge but like yeah i remember like working out to that being like and just like looking at that show and being like damn those guys look great looking at me being like you're a fat tub of shit work don't give up and like obviously i'll

never retain that but like it really motivated me it got me going and so like i was looking for new stuff to watch on monday of this week for my new like that's my first day of the week when i start working out and i was like i want some motivation i'm gonna watch spartacus again and so i have torn through that show like it hasn't even just been a workout show i've been i've watching it at night i forgot how fucking incredible this series is the whole first series it's like 13 episodes it shows spartacus well it's by like anthology almost the reason it got bad at like the third season is because um the the guy the main guy

andy whitfield i think his name was he died of cancer like like like not lymphoma yeah hodgkin third season or first all right so so so they go really really good one where it's called blood and sand uh it shows crixus is already the champion of body artists uh gladiator school and that's when spartacus gets captured brought there and then it shows his rise from you know a trainee that hated it and didn't want to partake in this at all to a guy who eventually embraced

you know being the champion and then saw the falsehood of all of it and then you know obviously it's history then he breaks out and does his shit the next series because he died they didn't go into another story like they were going to the third servile war so so you got the first season and like you said it follows him from trainee to champion and then um and then he got sick

at the end of it um like like like you know the season finale is them kind of having a revolution but then he's sick he's got lymphoma or whatever so they're like hopefully he gets better but until he gets better let's not go forward with the show let's go backwards let's do a prequel to the first season and that's actually okay that's really good because it focuses on body artists and he's the best fucking actor throughout the whole thing and he does a good job getting you on his side even when you know having seen what happens afterward like you shouldn't be on his side he's a real duplicitous piece of shit he's only out for himself but you can't help like him because frankly compared to he's just ruthless and awful but every other roman that walks in

is the worst person alive where they're like they walk in like one of the plot points is like they're like oh we need we must secure the primus for crixus so we can make money and they're like like some roman guys like i heard you have pleasures in your house unknown to those in the fruitiest fucking guy like a bunch of rings and he comes in and they just let him pick a gladiator and then like slaves and he just watches and beats off while they fuck and then like three different episodes that season are just other romans showing up who have something to do with the game is being like this guy tells us a lot of stories can we pick out a gladiator and watch him fuck a slave and eventually like it gets to the point where they're like well we can't

how do i do push-ups with the boner yeah that's a real problem with this show the amount of well yeah trying to the problem is like like the fighting it has that silly kind of I think it's Zack Snyder who does 300 over the top and I like that it's kind of a stylish it's stylish it's kind of cool I think it's neat

it's over the top and I like that it's over the top but like good lord the amount of fucking in this show, it's too much. Oh, no. It's so much that it's like, it'll be a 40-minute episode, and they're building, and there's like 11 minutes left, and I know that Crixus and Spartacus are going to fight off, and I'm like, I've been watching these people fuck for four minutes. We got to, come on, come on, we got to get to the fighting.

And so that's how i thought domina is not yet pleased you'll have to wait till next episode taylor don't know what's not pleased with me there's a there's this one slave girl who has like the the most outrageous tits i've ever seen in my life he's in the bath and then the torpedo tits that are like they're like way too big to not sag at all like they are unnatural suspected fakes literally huh suspected fake no they're real let me i'm gonna find them i'm gonna find them for you watch how easy this is to find those will be the first ones but yeah basically that, they're in a big square pool and Lucy Lawless is on the other end getting like

soaked down by a couple other slaves and then ugly body artist gets in with this naked like 18 year old and Lucy Lawless is like, I would have you take her ass. Then he just spits on his hand and starts fucking this. Done. Yeah.

Yeah. Look at that. Yeah. Yeah. Look at that. What's happening? What is happening there? Get Elon Musk on the case. They're insane. They look real and they look amazing. They're real and they're fantastic. Why wasn't she a character?

Her name is Laura Surich and if you just Google Spartacus torpedo tits, you'll see what I'm talking about. And it's, they're outrageous. And, and dude fucks are in the ass from behind.

So they're just like, they're like jiggling and flopping around everywhere. Outrageous tits, like unnaturally perfect, but they are real. Warlock titties. Taylor, I have done the same thing as you like you like you're working out makes you feel bad i i used to have this theory i'm not sure if it's backed by science that calories consumed during ufc events don't count and i would just be there like eating trail mix drinking milk watching the fights yeah that's a fucking milk

drinker i am and uh it's just a lot i'm having like 1400 calories during a ufc event and i i see these like one guy like uh tyrone woodley or something will roll out with this perfect super body and uh roll out of bed bust out 20 40 push-ups get back in bed because i just feel like shit and when i do that i'm like i'm in too deep the other side yeah that was i i'm excited to watch some more i guess i won't be able to tonight but watch some more spartacus i i just started the third series yes and it's not good once they switch the spartacus actor it basically becomes like all right i just want to see animus and crixus now because they're the characters that have been around the whole time animus is the black guy who was the doctor like ludus trainer

the instructor there was some stuff like also in 300 didn't make any goddamn sense like that one dude who spartacus is like all but gay with in the first season who he loves varro the blonde guy who's unbelievably blonde and like they're talking about how they got stuck there and spartacus like my wife killed raped stolen away me Me, stabbed, almost killed, brought here. Kept as a slave. And they're like, why are you here, Varo? And he's like, I'm a free man to sign as I will. And it's like,

what? You signed up for this? And he's like, yes, too much debt. And that was all they said. He didn't follow up like, you couldn't have farmed. You couldn't have gifted heavy bags. You had to leave your wife and daughter so you said he didn't fall up like you couldn't have farmed you couldn't have gifted Debbie bags you had to leave your wife

and daughter so you could come hang out with a bunch of mostly I was gonna say half naked men 85% naked men there's a lot of dong in this show and you know he wasn't a good enough even at his best Tavaro wasn't good enough to be there he shouldn't have hung out and apparently and the way he dies in the end

this shows like 12 years old. It's not a spoiler is there's a big exhibition match for all these dickhead Romans and one douchebag little kid who got blackmailed with, is getting his cock sucked by this blonde woman into, it was his birthday. He had to demand that the exhibition match and in blood to kill that gladiator. And it was like, Spartacus is standing there like with the mock like i'm not gonna kill this guy i won though he looks to the kid the kid gives the

thumbs down and like immediately the guy who signed his freedom like to be a member of it is about to die is already like just do what you have to do just kill me here and now and it's like i would have been like hey guy i signed up like i you can't do this you can't kill i can you pick one of the they're like actual slaves can you pick one of them you know hindsight's 2020 shouldn't have signed all my rights away and opted to be a gladiator you know but now that i'm here anyway there's a great show it's a great show it i haven't i've only seen it the one time and i watched it when it came out did you see it to the end i skipped the third season i it is not

good is it just three seasons is that right i believe i i remember i did watch it to the end the ending was so bad like they do this stylized fighting thing where they like move it to slow mode they maybe do what's the term for the picture where like the freeze frame and then the camera angle changes like maybe there's some of that bullet time maybe and uh 300 it's really cool in the first couple seasons by the third oh my god like it it just seems really unbelievable. I see through it. It doesn't look good stylized anymore. It looks bad stylized videographers jerking themselves off. And the storyline is so horrible that it like I,

it was an act of discipline to get through the last season. Yeah, it was bad, truly bad. And I think a lot of it was like just trying to get it done because like early in the seasons when they do that stylized shit it's like okay it's it's 90 fighting and then like when the guy dies it'll be that stylized blood splash or something the third season it's like two click clacks of the steel

and then it goes to like three continuous scenes of like freezing as blood flies and it's like oh so they just didn't want to they didn't want to choreograph fights anymore they wanted to choreograph the first four steps of a fight and then let it go to comic book style of oscillating around a still figure. I know exactly what you're talking about. It might be. But yeah, the first two seasons, like Kyle, you said the second season wasn't bad. I think the second season was good.

It was short. It was too short. But the first two are solid TV. Okay. I thought it was four seasons. It's three seasons plus a mini series, which I guess I don't fully understand how that's not a season. What?

Oh, I haven't even, I've only seen the seasons. Maybe. I think I've seen it all. It was a lot to power through. Oh, gladiators.

Look at these dope ass gauntlets. I bought off of Amazon. What? I hear them clinking. They're my gaming gauntlets I bought off of Amazon. What? I hear them clinking. They're my gaming gauntlets. That explains the gameplay. Yeah. And we thought you couldn't WASD,

but that's why. Gaming gauntlets. Yeah, gaming gauntlets. I got two of them. Is this for Age of Mythology? Yeah. Except you can't hit the buttons. Of course you can't hit the buttons.

You're wearing gauntlets. Go like this. Oh, Jesus. Playing on a controller. Well, no. I'm saying this is the only way you could possibly play with gaming gauntlets. I don't know why i bought them but

i literally went on amazon i was like gauntlets and then i looked at some like nice ones and i was like cheapest gauntlets how much were they they don't look cheap these were like 60 bucks and i figured now that i bought them i'm it's gonna force me to buy a costume that aligns with this in october so you're gonna have an entire chain of uh armor a suit of armor so if the cheapest suit of armor you can get on amazon is to dress like a crusader templar you want to bump up to like a plate armor looking guy that's gonna cost you you want some lord of the rings armor even more so i watched what's the third lord of the rings called help me out i watched return of the king recently it's good it's good some of the effects do not hold up as well as i remembered which one's

i i know which one's The ghosts, the green guys? Ooh, the ghosts were particularly bad. Some of the... Shit, did I have an issue with Smeagol now and then? I don't know. It would just... Oh, the spider. I didn't like some of the spider fighting

and the damn web they wrapped around him. He looked stupid to me but overall it was good oh and some of the acting frodo and the fucking like uh foam from his mouth and him just looking distressed they spent way too much time on frodo's distressed attitudes and problems and and on his chapped lips but i like that they are so chapped i like how they did the chapped lips because like that really sold how uncomfortable they were i wanted to get some carmex on there so bad you know like those scenes where you see him fiddling with the ring and he has like those like the little fucked up torn off fingernails yeah so that's because elijah wood apparently like nervously like

pick said his fingernails and they were gonna they usually would use like a hand double in movies like that but they were at peter jackson apparently was like no this is better frodo would be stressed as shit like this is that's a good idea when spiegel fell into the um lava at the end the special effects are on the level of something you'd see in Saturday Night Live. It is 2002 that movie was being made. 2003 it was released.

That's true. I don't know. Somehow I think of it as a current era movie, but 17 years is a pretty long time. You compare the fight scenes that aren't CGI in that movie. They're not just on the same level they're better than fight scenes movies now where they rely on cgi like where they have a bunch of guys dressed up in armor like you don't get the that like liquid formation of troops you see

sometimes where it's like is that a bunch of archers or it looks like a liquid wave moving into position but yeah the ghost ghosts in particular look real bad. That's my real only, really my only complaint with the special effects in those movies. If you rewatch the Fall into Lava scene, I think it might make your list. It has a particular, when his face is going in, like there's something about that that's sort of like off.

But Lava's hard to do anyway i don't know if i've ever seen really good lava like like with cgi like that honestly the indiana jones lava always looked pretty good to me and i think it was just like water with some lights underneath it'd be funny if they were falling into lava and it was hardened on top and he like it oh this is so much worse someone gave me like a fun fact once where they were like you know if you uh fall into a volcano it's so hot you die before you even get into the mag i was like that can't possibly be true i'm with you there's no way like it was at first when someone tells you a fact like that you're like that's so unbelievable i believe it but then a little bit of thought you're like but but how fast would it have to flash fry you

you only have to take a breath like you inhale and it scorches your lungs and you're unconscious and you're are you unconscious though because you can hold your lungs throughout the first of all you just die coughing i could believe that you lose your ability to breathe but you've got a little time after that how long can you hold your breath how long would you last if someone were to hold your mouth and nose closed and make it ineffective but i think that's because your lungs are still like supplying oxygen right because there's oxygen in them but i think if you take a deep breath of that 2,000 degree air, it just scorches your lungs and you immediately, like, you're out. No, you still are there with it

long enough. There's only one way to find out, Taylor. Have fun. Well, you're the one who disagrees. Well... You also disagree. No, no, no. I agree. I'm burning. I touch the...

You ever see that uh that that um that movie joe versus the volcano no long time ago oh man it's it's actually not bad it's pretty good it's uh tom hanks and uh who's that pretty blonde that was in every Val Kilmer maybe? No, the woman. Silly man. I'm doing my best here. I'm not the actor guy. I said that pretty blonde and Woody goes to Val Kilmer. Alright. I did do that.

The one from Sleepless in Seattle that was Tom Hanks. Meg Ryan. I mean, she's no Val Kilmer, but yeah, she is pretty hot. I'm not the actor guy. I thought I was having an above average night, quite frankly. Who's that really

sexy brunette from the spy movies? Oh yeah, Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise. I like him because he's petite. Throw him around the bedroom. Really sexy brunette from the spy movies. Oh, yeah, Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise. Yeah. I like him because he's petite. Throw him around the bedroom. I just found something. It looks like Robin Hood went back. Or not Robin Hood.

GameStop stock went back up to $312 in after hours trading. What? Right now it is? Yeah. It says that. I just saw it on CNBC. So so game shops there skyrocketed game shop game stop shares god that's hard skyrocketed 61 to trade at 312 in hours after trading after closing down 44 to 193 and 60 cents during regular hours thursday uh wait there was some there were the other stocks people were fucking with there in

addition to gameStock restricted trading sent shares of AMC Entertainment and BlackBerry tumbling 56 and 41% AMC rebounded 46% in after hours trading, Bed Bath & Beyond also up 14% so people are just picking businesses that

are like old why is Bed Bath & Beyond getting it's ass kicked people stop buying towels in the pandemic? Like a movie theater I kind of get. I would imagine that they're losing foot traffic to places like Target. Like Target I think is the only major retailer

that throughout this has actually improved their average foot traffic. And a lot of people think it has to do with the perception of Target being a lot cleaner than Walmart. Like you walk through a Target and it's crisp, it clean it appears like well maintained whereas a lot of walmart's kind of are shitty but yeah somehow target's been doing a really good clientele's different too like i'm just inventing this are there more face masks at target i guess yes oh yeah for sure although like the walmart's near me require face masks although once i get inside everybody pops

them off there's a there's a person at the door like you get your mask on let me check your asshole like from south park they get eight feet inside the door and everybody's like we're gonna stop over by subway i'm all tuckered out from this mask you gotta go to this walmart subway and get an even grosser sandwich. Dude. So many people are wearing their mask over their mouth and not their nose. It's like become acceptable. It seems that hero cop in the Capitol has it over his mouth.

I don't know. I never say shit, but I think it, I think it as hard as I can. Like fucking, it's not a chin strap. Like it. Stop pretending you're wearing a mask. it i think it as hard as i can like you fucking it's not a chin strap like it stop pretending you're wearing a mask it's been a year now and don't do not act like your nose is too big for a mask i still manage to wear underwear i like your your opinion i think it very hard but i totally agree with you you do not want to be the guy who runs into someone who really doesn't want to wear the mask.

And he's been waiting for somebody to come up to him and talk about it. Just, just put your head down, go to the peanut butter section or whatever you're doing. It's funny that Walmart's near you are like that, that no stores around here like that. Everybody like they wear it reliably. How are they by you?

I'm not, it's good. It's good. Everybody wears it everywhere. I are they by you? I'm not. Oh, it's good. It's good. Everybody wears it everywhere I go for the most part. Like, like the second I get outside, I take it off. Some people wear it all the way to the car, which I don't get. I forgot mine the other day. I see people wearing them in their car.

Yeah. What are you doing? You're alone. What are you doing? I hate it because in glasses, it's not the black plague. Like, what are you doing in your car with your mask on weirdo? I, my internet, uh, modem died the other day. Like just, I woke up and I had no internet and, uh, like, like it's got like no lights.

It's not the red light. And so I, I, I called and they said, they're like three options. We can send you one and it'll be like three to five days we can send a technician it'll be one to two days or you can drive across town and just get one i'm like give me the fucking address let's go and uh i but i forgot to wear my mask for i had to bring a mask and i just walked in there and everybody looked at me like a space like i was a space alien and i'm just like shit i don't have a mask i'm like hey i need a router they said they sent me here he's like uh do you do you have a mask and i'm like i don't i i left it at home do

you have a mask for me he's like yeah let me get you one ask you can bring me the mask he fished me out a mask luckily because the last thing i wanted to do was get into a mask debate at like my local comcast place like with those fucking nazis they like you don't want to hang out every time i walk out the door jackie's like don't forget your mask and every time i'm like i keep it in the truck i have three masks in my truck i can't forget like every time you need to remind me of this i could forget twice and still have one yeah just leave them in your car. That's the easiest way.

Yeah, I may have told this story before, but I bought a gas station mask because I lost my original one or it broke or something. I was in a hurry. I can't remember where I was going, but I was late. I'm like, I need a mask real quick.

She's like, which color would you like? Would you have the polka dots? I'm like, the black one. The black one. Okay. She's taking way too long. She's like,'s like which color would you like would you have the polka dots and i'm like the black one the black one okay and she's taking way too long and she's like try it on before you leave and i'm just like i don't have time for that i get in the car and i'm like maybe i should make sure and i like i do that you know you grab the the stretchy straps and i pull i put like an ounce of tension on them and they both went pow and just tore off of the mask and like go back in like like it fell apart in the

car it fell apart in the car i need another mask and she's like would you like the blue one yes yes the blue one and it's like better check it out this time all right it seems to be good it seems to be good it broke as soon as i was walking into the pharmacy, I go to do the thing again to put it over by my ears. And it likes it. Like one of them tore, tore off. And so I was holding the other with my thumb. So it did that thing.

Like you're shooting a rubber band and it shoots into a mud puddle. And so I have to walk into a hospital pharmacy, like Dracula. And I have to get the drugs good town no mask dude i had that happen a few months ago i had one of those like blue like surgical basic with the the shitty weak ones and it's like you know it is you go in the restaurant we have this mexican place shut down take it off and then you get up to leave pop it back on and as like i'm standing up like put my wallet in everything i go to pull it and i'd had like one break before where you just kind of like just hold it over your ear to get outside both of them snap and i drop it and i'm like i'm just i'm leaving i'm not i just walked out i'm

like i'm not gonna pick up that's filthier than anything now on the floor of the Mexican restaurant. I'm not putting that back on my face. I'm for masks. I'm fine with wearing a mask. It's certainly not a problem. And if it helps other people, like it's definitely not going to do any harm. And it seems like it does some good. Whatever.

No big deal, right? Doesn't it fog up your glasses? Because it is so bad. Yeah, which is why you guys talk about wearing it in the car. But I almost always have sunglasses in the car, but I almost always have sunglasses in the car and I instantly notice. So I can leave it on by accident without thinking, but with sunglasses on, I never forget. I always wear sunglasses and it always fogs them up.

So mask is fine. I'm pro mask, but I'm not really for mask theater. Today I went to the dentist and they have you all about the mask, right? They take your temperature when you walk in the front door and they ask you, not only do they ask me a bunch of questions, but they had me go on my phone and

fill out an online questionnaire and I'm doing this from the waiting room. It's not like adding any security or anything. And I turn and they're like alright, cool, now we know you're okay. Yeah, I am already here. This is all theater to pretend that we're stopping

the spread of the virus. And that's what's silly to me. Restaurants are the same. Dentist, orthodontist, restaurant. These are places where you aren't actually wearing the mask. It's just mask theater. And it's like, all right, well, now that you filled that out in your safe, Mr. Woodworth, go ahead and pop that mask off i'm gonna put my hands in your mouth right yeah okay so why would you dude if there is a sillier place to pretend you can have this under

control i have not heard it than a dentist there's there's no possible way they keep it under control they did have a um it was like you know, the x-ray thing they have. It's like a tube that shoots at your head. It was that, but it was suction. And I guess the idea was that any breath I exhaled, it was. They had a gigantic Mr. Thirsty there for you. Okay. Mr. Thirsty?

Yeah. You know, when you went to the dentist as a kid and you had Mr. Thirsty. That's what they called it? Dude, I still have this anxiety. I almost did it today. No, they called it dude i i still have this anxiety i almost did it today they call that king sucks a lot i had this anxiety almost happened today they you know the every like they polish your teeth i guess they call it they use that circular brush or polish it and then they rinse it off so now there's a supernatural version or amount of

water in your mouth more than you would have with just saliva and they want you to like suck on mr thirsty and i'm on my back and i i came so close to making a fountain just like and like this is i was maybe like 14 15 getting like fitted for for braces where they take the mold and i was like even leading up to it i was telling them like you know what i'm talking about that big awful tray that they put in your upper and lower for the x-rays for the no for the mold to get your mold for your teeth so they know oh you know where the problems are and what they need to fix and that big giant slather of pink goo, I could still taste it. And I remember them putting it in my mouth, or about to,

and I was like, I've almost thrown up from this before. This looks like you put too much on there. Can you take a little off? And they were like, it's going to be fine. And they put it in there in my mouth, and immediately I feel all that pink paste mushed up. put it in there in my mouth. And immediately I feel all that pink paste mushed up. And so it was,

it was probably like two scoops from Cold Stone of this shit in there. And as she mushes it up, like probably three dollops ooze down the back of my throat. And I just go, I threw up with all that stuff in my mouth at the dentist's office. So there's like little bits of like pink, like that's starting to harden coming out and it's stuck. And it was awful.

She took me seriously for the lower part of my jaw. Yeah. And he taught her. You just showed that bitch a lesson. After that, they pay attention. Yeah. Oh God,

I hate it. I didn't hate that stuff as much as you, although I don't think I've ever had a triple dose. Yeah. I've never, it's never been that much. Yeah. I've had some really, and there Yeah. It's never been that much. Yeah. I've had some really,

and there was this like actual, you know, when you're a kid, like it doesn't pop in your head. Like, Oh, this adult is like just bad at their job. You think like,

I'm, I'm in the wrong. I'm a kid. Like I defer to them. And so like, this is more like seven or eight. You're like sitting there and like, it's intense pain,

like scraping your gums. And you're like, God, the dentist is hard. And it's like, then then you realize and this i think i was probably 15 16 by the time my dentist gave me like a new hygienist and i realized that like oh that woman was just an absolute butcher that had me before because this new lady's lady's nice and is that okay is that hurt and it's like oh well thank you for asking like that's sweet of. You don't just tell me that I'm not brushing well enough because I can't withstand a fucking gladius assault to my gum line. I'm not a big conversationalist at the dentist.

No. Dentists who want to talk are assholes. It's hard for me to talk here. You've got pointy things or not. Maybe just a mirror in my mouth. I'm feeling, I feel a little vulnerable when I'm laying down on my back in the chair and they're over me in this like position of advantage. I feel like that female dentist hygienist could kick my ass if we started from that position. I'm fighting off my back here. I got a problem. A series of tiny stabs.

I got a problem. A series of tiny stabs. I would rather just be quiet. And my dentist has Netflix on the ceiling and stuff with the captions on. And, you know, like I'm happy to just watch the slideshow and not do it, not talk during the whole thing. Yeah. Like same as a haircut. Like I feel like if we're talking, you're not going as fast as you could.

And I want you to go as fast as you can when you're cutting my hair or working on my teeth. Just get it done. Let me go home. I haven't had a professional haircut in over a year now. These are all homemade do's, baby. They're all working around here. You just have to wear your mask. I go. Yeah, I go. You don't have to wear a mask here. Really? Yeah, you have to wear it.

Because then you have to take it off so they get your ears. And then it's like, well, what do we do? You don't have to wear a mask here really yeah you have to wear it because then you have to take it off so they get your ears and then it's like well you don't have to wear a mask anywhere here taylor it's a it's a blue state i almost fucked that up i forgot with with red undertones you don't have to wear a mask anywhere i mean there's some businesses that are like hey you got to wear one here and it's like all right well i guess i do but like you don't have there is no mask mandate in the state of georgia that i've ever heard of but when you're getting your hair cut there's like uh you can leave your mask on or you can get a good haircut it's up to you i'm just like i'm popping this bitch i mean you got a mask everybody else got a mask i'm happy to be the only one without a mask.

Like, let's go. Yeah, absolutely. I can't wait to get my hair cut and not look foolish as I leave with, like, two big tufts of hair they couldn't get to behind your ears. I think I have a preference. See, Jackie's not that bad at cutting hair. Not that great. We have seen the bad one, remember, when Landmark was on. But we cleaned that up.

I had one, remember, when Landmark was on. But we cleaned that up, and it's like, I think I'd rather have a 7 out of 10 free convenient haircut over a 10 out of 10 $20 haircut that takes me, like, what does it take, two hours maybe? Round trip that thing? Two and a half hours? How far away is your haircut? I live close, too, but sometimes I wait 30 minutes before.

I make an appointment. I think my place does that. It's quick. You can even go online and reserve your spot and then walk right in and sit right down. I don't know how to describe men's barber, right? Like hairy-armed dude in old chairs. I don't want that anyway. I want an overweight white woman with purple hair.

Yeah. All of you cut my hair are women. Oh no. These are, they're all dudes that work here. And, uh, I don't know.

That's what I always thought. Like they, to me, that's a guy's haircut. It's not a salon. It's a guy's haircut place. I would prefer a salon if they, if they want to shampoo me at some point,

I'd enjoy that. You ever get your hair shampooed at the salon, Taylor? It's wonderful. I've got it done at the place I get my haircut. It's called the Hair Saloon for Men. It's wonderful. They get their fingers

in there. It's like, oh, yeah. This is great. You know what amazes me? The temperature is perfect the moment it hits your head. It's never too hot. It's never too cold. And I'm like, every faucet in the world I have to warm up for a minute. And somehow yours just comes straight out. They dial theirs in to like 99 degrees and it's just perfect. It must be right underneath the sink or something.

It's funny that you say a fat purple-haired woman, Kyle. Not the purple-haired hair part but the fat part this fat white lady that like when i go in and i happen to get her because i always just make an appointment and i'll take whoever she is my favorite she has cut my hair before and i think it was i think it was 11 minutes it was so fucking fast it was like me at the tv faster is better go it's like 9 15 in the morning can i get an appointment for 9 30 yeah go in 9 48 i'm back home with my haircut like it's yeah the lady that cuts my hair is a pka fan actually like like her uh her boyfriend uh watches it and uh and i don't know my she talked to me and she asked me what i did and i was like like why i was there so in the middle of the day he's like oh you work from home and one thing led to another and she asked me what I did. And I was like, why I was there in the middle of the day.

She's like, oh, you work from home. And one thing led to another and I told her the whole thing. And she's like, oh, yeah. Oh, I watched that. Yeah. Yeah, my boyfriend loves that. The Bible stories. Are you the one that tells the Bible stories?

And I'm like, yes, I am. Yes, I am. Did you like the story of Joni and the Whale? That's a good one. Yeah. Stolen valor. It's not fun when it happens to you. I get it.

Yes, I am. Yes, I am. That happened at my haircut place. Are you the guy from the podcast? It's like, I'll be finishing my haircut elsewhere. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm on rooster teeth no i'm another fat guy i didn't mention anything about my podcast or whatever to the dental hygienist the dentist rolls in and it it's what he tell me a story and it always puts me like on the spot

you know like i'd like a personal performance go so. So I told him all of Kyle's recent adventures over the last two years or so. And after he leaves the hygienist, he's like, what's your podcast? I want to watch it. And I'm like, no, it's not for good people like you. It's for bad people. I tell him. I'll be like, it's pretty adult themed. We use a lot of bad words.

And I was telling a nurse the other day, she's like, I'm a grown up. I like dirty stuff. I was like, it's real dirty. Even better. Alright. You know what? Here's my number. We'll watch it together.

Nah, here's a big one. Not the right one? Alright. You can come watch with me. Bring your stuff though right you know what you can come watch me bring your bring your stuff though you know this is every two weeks you can watch it with me bring your gonna need some rubber gloves to watch this show don't ask why that'd be a good little setup have a person come to your home and cut your hair oh this was a nurse oh yeah that that lady was weird, though, that cuts my hair. I mean, I like her. I like her very much. Shit.

Sorry. Get him. I said she was fat, too, didn't I? God damn. You have to find someone to do it. I mean, she knows. Yes, she does. Fat people do know they're fat. Probably better than me. God damn it.

Yeah. Well, he feels bad. No, I don't. Now I have to go somewhere else to get my hair cut. That's why he feels bad. You don't even do a very good job. Oh, wow. It's over now.

It's over now. There's no coming back from this. Shit. Yeah. Oh, wow. It's over now. It's over now. There's no coming back from this. Shit. Yeah. Are you due for a haircut now? Yeah, it's long. Yeah, it's long. Mine's long, too. Yeah, my hair just grows out.

And then once it gets too poofy, I just need to trim the sides. Yeah, it's time for me. I was was considering going uh today but uh you know didn't didn't make it i haven't been in a year yeah i need to go to the dentist as well i've got a broken uh tooth i've got a uh where i got a root canal i never got the permanent cap put on and I just rolled with the situation is old Kyle. I know. And I just rolled, I just rolled around with the,

uh, the temporary cap for like seven years and, uh, until the temporary cap shattered while I was chewing some gum about six months ago. And, uh, so now like,

like up here in the top, I've just got a hollow tooth. It's just like the outside of a tooth and the middle is all gone. So every time I eat, I have to like go brush my teeth really carefully to like get all the food out of my hollow tooth. You got to go get it fixed. And for all you know, this situation is worsening that by not fixing it. Yeah, I can't feel anything because it's had a root canal. They drill the root out and fill it up

with epoxy. It's quite possible they can either put a proper cap on or whatever it's called and make you fine or they're going to be like, well, if you had come three months ago, we'd do that. But now we're looking at removing the whole thing and screwing something into your jawbone. That's literally

accurate. Yeah, everything you said is completely right if you would have come in six months ago you could have taken care of this but at this point you could wait another six months that's how i have some time for the home repair jackie's like you know the there's rotting wood over here and something and i'm like well that wood's only 40 percent rotted why would you replace it now it's called compost it seems like if we wait that's gonna be an issue uh around 10 years from now if we let it get 60 percent rotted then we've gotten more value out of what's there now this is just math that's true but we actually have a guy

working on the house now he's had a whole list of them and he did a bunch of plumbing things, a bunch of, fixing our front porch. Gonna be nice. So before we jump to the next thing, we are gonna hear from a couple

Have a hard dick. It's a winning combo. It's a winning, winning combo. Oh, someone linked some hockey stuff. What is this? I did, man. Check that out. Check out that hit.

When did this happen? Just now. Just now. Okay, so this is boarding, looks like. Can't show it, but. Can like show it but can't show it board and a major the rebound bad yeah that's a boarding that's where you hit someone at an awkward distance away from the board so that they hit it with their face and see that oh that was so intentional yeah it was and see see the red, that was so intentional. Yeah, it was.

And see the red ridge? He hits his head on the red ridge that sticks out from the boards. This is the top of the boards. He was down for a while. Did he hit the red ridge? It looked like he did from the other angle. Thank goodness. I don't think he did.

That would have probably knocked all his teeth out or broken orbital bone. It looked like he really did it on purpose and then on the ground I think it was below the red ridge and on the ground he almost apologizes. Yeah, as the guy is just my face.

Where the hell is this? I'm trying to find the full speed one so I can see how hard they hit. I mean this guy, I think his name is Kevin Fiala. I've never heard about him being a dirty guy. Have you ever done a dirty play that you regretted? Yeah, where I like

in a scrum in front of the net when the refs aren't paying attention, you just hit somebody and you know that because you're the goalie, you'll get away with it like a chick at a party. It rocks. I forget exactly what led to it but you know whatever we're like roughing each other it's a no check league we're roughing each other i find myself having fallen and i kicked at him like his feet or his shin guards or something like that and for people that don't play hockey kicking with your skate this this is like the blade, is not just dirty. It's like a real faux pas.

You're not allowed to punch people, but that's also not outside the culture. Kicking people with your blade, like even your own team is like that was a dishonorable move. And I did it. And then like a snap afterwards, I'm like, oh, I suck. You know, I know I did it. The ref saw it. I'm serving a penalty for it. Everyone saw it. There's no hiding behind it. I just lost my mind for a second. And it seemed like the move, you know, like i was kind of still fighting the play you know like trying to make shit happen or you know like i was trying to win a hockey game and and then i i

realized i was a dirty piece of shit but i can see being tempted with stuff like i never played out at a level like forward or defense at a level that like i was tempted that much with those things like usually you're not getting involved in that as a goalie, but I can totally see how just in the moment, like even somebody hits you pretty hard and you're just seeing red and then you do something retarded and you're like, Oh no, Oh, I've screwed my, from this position. I only have one move, right? Like I'm on my hip or something and I'm trying to still make the best out of

this situation. And I thought kicking his feet and legs was the move. And yeah, anyway, so now I, I project onto this guy, maybe he's not trying to be a dirt bag. He's just lizard brain was for a second. Maybe I'm sure he wasn't trying to injure him. You know, I also don't know that guy or what teams were those even? I was not seeing that was green is that minnesota and the kings i think i'm right about the kings it's yeah la and minnesota is it okay well that's hopefully that guy's okay yeah that fiala is

gonna get suspended probably for like three games but But then again, the guy who runs the Department of Player Safety in the NHL is George Peros. Oh, it's not Brendan Shanahan? He did so well at that. Didn't he used to? Am I crazy? I think he did. Yeah, wait, where is it?

Is it? yeah the wait where is it is it yeah the guy so kyle the guy in charge of looking at these kind of dirty hits and deciding the punishment that will be meted out was an enforcer in the nhl for like 15 years you look up his fight compilations on youtube and it's like 15 minutes long and this was in like the you know late 80s early 90s i think it was when he was really just fucking people up so how the hell they gave him that job doesn't make any goddamn sense why would you give it to that guy i mean he doesn't know right apparently not one of our guys had to leave for concussion protocol the other night when some dickhead on vegas mark

stone he's actually a good player i don't dislike him but he did some like shoulder check to the jaw of one of our guys who didn't even have the puck and our guy had to leave the game for concussion protocol they didn't even get a fucking major penalty so i mean i feel like oj would be a good juror for example yeah he does know both sides yeah knows the joy, the unbridled joy of getting off scot-free. I mean... That was his game stop. Love didn't fit. You must have quit.

Yeah. I didn't... God, I loved it. We were talking about guests today in our little private chat, and somehow OJ came up, and I was like, God, I'd love to get OJ. God, I'd love to get oj on here because like we pretend like like we'd all wear bills like like like like stuff like like we act like we're the biggest buffalo bills fans ever and like we only want to talk about buffalo bills and maybe a little bit of um Naked Gun movie series.

We're huge Leslie Nielsen fans and the biggest Bills fans on the world. Welcome to the Bills show. We do a completely fake intro. Welcome to the Bills broadcast, episode 499, with your host, Big Bill Richardson. Big Bill Michelson and Big Bill Tonyson. We're the Buffalo Bills.

All of us are named Bill. And he's just like, y'all really love the Bills, huh? Why did you murder your wife? Let's cut right to the heart of the matter. Why did you cut off your wife's head? And he's gone.

You know, just commit to the bit of the matter. Why did you cut off your wife's head? And he's gone. You know, just commit to the bit. And we do a four hour show. We talking about Bill's records. Just squander a wonderful opportunity for a joke. What was your favorite part of playing football? Was it the running? The tackling? The scoring was it the murder

you keep trying to trip him up like uh man you absolutely killed that record for rushing you murdered that rushing record you slaughtered those two people like just do that but that's not a good thing because he might come and not kill us i would immediately do that um who who's that other guy that i was just overtly and covertly like cruel to on the show oh the bagel boss yeah just treat him like the bagel boss little irate yeah that was just mean to him the whole fucking time is he dead now i know he was in a coma or some shit he's in a coma oh a heart attack stroke stroke something like that this little heart gave out on him or something i

don't know it was just it was a stroke. It was a series of mini strokes. Which for him is devastating. Devastating. Yeah. Good. Put up at the Catsville building on a putt-putt golf course. It must be this tall

for me to give a fuck. Try something. Four fives. Must be this tall for me to give a fuck. Yeah, I was super mean to him. That was fun. I thought he was really good for like the first half of his appearance. And then it somehow got really bad. Well, yeah, because he started going on these weird delusional rants about how he was going to have parties on a yacht and we'd all be sorry. Not us specifically, but like all those people out, the women who bullied me at bagel shops will be sorry. And it was just like, dude, this is not going to pan out.

What do you think is going to happen? You already have a manager. What's he going to manage? What could possibly need managing? Appearances on shows like ours. How do you cash in on something less than 15 minutes of fame? What would be the way that he could get that to happen? Merch.

Merch. I think you're right. It's merch. You see what's going on with that meme of Bernie Sanders recently. And I remember the chocolate rain guy and double rainbow guy. You know, that was their way to cash in a little bit.

That's the way to do it. He could have also done something like after his big blow up, if he was willing to pretend to change, he could have rode out the anger for a little bit and then gone to some like anti-bullying platform

and done some exclusive interview saying that, you know, I never used to be like this. This wasn't until I was derived in my entire life. And, you know, this could happen to anyone. Everybody has things wrong with them. And I was mocked to the point that I couldn't handle it. It's only now. Like, he's going to get us strung together some bullshit and done some speaking arrangements

or something. Nobody would have paid him to speak. Yeah. Corporate events. We wouldn't have paid him to speak here. No, we wouldn't. Corporate events can make money. You know, I wouldn't have paid him to speak here. No, we wouldn't. Corporate events can make money. You know, I... This guy wouldn't have got hired by anyone.

Did I tell you about Alex Hinald? Who's the free solo? The mountain climber. Yeah. Try not to dox or give this away, but somebody in my universe knows his manager. He gets $70,000 for a speaking event. $70,000.

So I heard that, and I was like, does he get any though? Right? I get 130 grand per speaking event. I just have never booked one. And they're like, no, he booked three in a day recently. That adds up. Woody, go climb El Capitan. I'm not that good at that no that that makes it more interesting

though for me it would be quite like i'd like to see like a bunch of people who are terrible at it do it like like you think it was it was very entertaining watching the one guy on the planet who can do it free climb el capitan you can't even fathom how interesting it would be to watch a reality show about 10 people who can't climb for shit no raise it make it 250 people racing to the top or whoever gets highest no rules i would even be okay if they couldn't touch each other and just watch them like dude by the time you get 18 feet up you're kind of fucked it's hard to get down i think for a while it's kind of easy like like you wouldn't it's not what we would even consider to be mountain climbing it's like oh that's kind of

like a steep hike you know but like at some point it becomes mountain climbing and that's the point where things would get interesting for sure. Yeah. Well, then they should just start them at that point. I don't want to watch people hike. That do the buildup. I want to see the woman who needs to lose 130 pounds.

Do the hike part. She's going to lose a lot of weight on the way down. What is your plan with that picnic basket? You know, you can't free solo with that. You'll need both hands. This fat bitch is about to die on the way down what is your plan with that picnic basket you know you can't free solo with that you'll need both hands this fat bitch is about to die on the mountain you got your climbing gear in there no no these are baloney sandwiches i thought i might get a are you insane no no actually good idea good idea i brought along a series of treats to keep me

i'd love to watch people falling off a mountain yeah that would be cool i saw a headline the I brought along a series of treats to keep me motivated. I'd love to watch people falling off a mountain. Yeah, that would be cool. I saw a headline the other day and it was like, blah, blah, blah, mountain climber falls off of K2. And I was like, am I going to have to pay Woody? Oh, good. It was some Spaniard.

Some Spaniard fell off the mountain. Gender reveal parties. We're all tired of them, right? We're all done with the idea of gender. No, I haven't seen that in a while. No, I'm okay with them. There's a guy in my world who did one and it was kind of cool. Like he, he didn't know the outcome himself.

Somebody else packed his base parachute. Pink if it's a girl, blue if it's a boy. So he jumps off a bridge, pulls it, and they all learn. I'm like, you know, as far as gender reveal parties go. Nothing came out. It was a miscarriage. Oh, Jesus Christ. I thought it was pretty good for what it could be. I just had deja vu. Have we done this before?

I don't know. Probably. I knew what you were going to say, Taylor. Oh. Really? I mean, it was pretty predictable. We probably have done this before. I mean, we do it four hours a week. I just got the strongest deja vu ever. Yeah, I like the gender reveal parties.

I've never been to one, but my cousin had one once, and I helped him set it up. They did an exploding target that was the that was pink or blue i don't even remember if it was i think it was pink but we made it so you shot a thing with tannerite and it was full of that chalk that they put in the chalk lines for carpentry you know you pull the thing up and drop it it pops a lot well you can buy that chalk in bulk that powder and so we just loaded a ton of that powder up around a couple pounds of explosive and when you shot it it made a huge pink cloud.

That's cool. Yeah, I have a bunch of friends who've had kids and are having kids, and none of them have done a gender reveal party. You're at that age where your entire, I don't know, localized universe is getting married and having children. They're just popping from single to family life. I know. it's weird. It's bizarre.

Do you feel behind in the game? Or are you still winning and they've lost? No, I don't feel behind in the game. It's not too late. I do want kids, unlike Kyle. So in the next couple years i will want to finally not pull out it will it will be pretty funny if i've been sterile and pulling out for no reason the whole time great side dude and if that happens it's like not adopting just gonna

live like no just or maybe i don't fucking i haven't given that any thought uh i do want kids so hopefully everything you want to set it up damage serial killer babies how do you get a better kid than you would have made right like i want i only want kids of mbas or whatever i mean eventually they can probably scan that out right and be like this kid's gonna be a dumbass gattaca style yeah it'll be like gattaca eventually. Ooh, his alpha brain waves are indicating that he's gonna be good at math. Oh, you got a real winner here,

Soo Kim. And they're like, I don't think you did the test at all. I think you saw the name Soo Kim. Your son's gonna be very athletic. He's a stereotype doctor with fake technology. You're going to have a very frugal son, Mrs. Silverstein. He's good with money.

Very smart. He's going to be hilarious. This one responds well to guilt, just saying. Yeah. I'm just like, this guy's just a just a big hit ah well you're gonna have a lazy kid oh god which one that is oh her dad is fuck i'm glad you came up with you did this whole bit because it just reminded me of the, one of the stupidest things I've ever heard a human being propose in my life.

Like I've had people, I don't think he was presenting an investment opportunity to me, but it almost sounded like he was, I won't say who it is, but it's one of our $50 patrons. You guys probably wouldn't recognize the name, but you'd recognize his voice. We were, I was playing some games the other night. I was streaming some something. I don't know. patrons you you guys probably wouldn't recognize the name but you'd recognize his voice um we were

i was playing some games the other night i was streaming some something i don't know there were a bunch of people in there maybe we're playing poker in any case he was like i've got this idea for a uh for a uh a role-playing game um it's like it's an rts and i'm like oh okay okay and i'm in my head i'm like, those are super expensive to develop. And they usually already like take place in established universes. Like, like I'm already like, like this is a terrible idea that you making your own RTS is an awful idea.

It's, it's just not a good idea. And then he's like, basically each group is a different race. And, and, and I'm just like, he wait wait no no what what he's like no no stick with me here stay hang on hang on was it jojo stay with me here no okay he's like

you know you got the whites and the blacks and yeah i get it the different races are rts characters like no no you don't i'm like this sounds horribly racist he's like, no, no, no. No, it's not. The characters have stereotypical names. The Jew guy is Silverstein. The black guy is Freeman. In RTS, when you click on your characters to make them do stuff, they have little

voice lines. I'm like, yeah. He's like, well, you know, they say real stereotypical shit like, yo, Holmes, let's go get them and stuff like that and i'm just like this sounds horrific this sounds horrific what you've come up with here he's like no no one of my investors he thinks it'd be a good idea i'm like you have investors david duke other people on board with this? Are you fucking insane? It's me, David. No one else yet.

No takers. The worst part was either he was trolling super well or he's serious because he never laughed. He never left. And I kept saying like, it's a terrible idea. I don't want to hear anymore. Please stop. I was like, we make some like some like edgelord jokes on the show like we're not racist i don't like this like you're getting super racist right

now i don't like it and he kept trying to convince me that it wasn't racist he's like no no you don't understand see the blacks they're like super fast you know like real athletic and stuff and they'll and i'm just like no, no, no. They have a special ability where they rob you. Stop! And the Japanese have this crazy tech tree that you can discover.

I do like the idea of when you select a little worker in Age of Mythology, they say like, orthos, fulome. That kind of basic, just made up gobbledygook sound but if like you clicked on like hernandez for the hispanic team he's like it's time to gather wood or like we are low on gold like that that would be cool i would like that i hated the idea so fucking much like after he left i was like am i the only one that was that was super uncomfortable during

the whole like race war rts game proposal that we just sat through for 30 minutes like it felt like when someone that you that you think you're having like a normal conversation with all of a sudden starts trying to sell you like amway or mary k or something like oh my god am i sitting through a fucking pyramid scheme proposal with you, dude? Like, like, like when you mentioned an investment opportunity,

I thought you knew some shit. Like I thought you knew something was about to go public or like, you know, I thought you had some, I thought you had some GameStop type information, but really it's just like, this is some Amway or some phone card nonsense. That's what it felt like.

It was like a racist worse version of age of empires yes with less actual units and probably some pretty stupid skins not cool armor no cool mythic special abilities so i'm gonna go ahead and stick with oh age of mythology or age of empires 4 is supposed to come out this year it was supposed to come out last year i think but as soon as that comes out, I'm getting into it. What I'm jumping into next is they finally released the new set on Magic the Gathering Arena. And so I'm going to hop on there tomorrow if I have time.

I have some family coming to town, so I might not. But at some point, I want to get in there and just play for like 10 hours and just grind on Magic. I'm having so much fun playing Magic. I wish if you like Magic the Gathering, Taylor Merck on Twitch, come out because a lot of people do not. So you'll be getting

a lot of FaceTime with old Taylor. There's open seats at the magic stream. People will pop in just to be like make fun of fucking Hell's Kitchen again. It's like we did that last night. I want to play Magic. Like, no!

Do it again. No, we're doing this. I want to play some more Age of Mythology on stream too. That is harder than you would guess to keep straight trying to relearn build orders while you're talking to chat. Yeah, I have no interest in relearning those build orders. That was a very autistic part of my life

that required a lot of weed and a lot of practice. I was just spending hours every day practicing something that meant nothing. I don't know why. I don't know why I learned that. Because I was playing and you're like, I'll get into this. And then you said, this is actually pretty fun. And then we

started playing and started kicking people's shit in online. Well, I mean, I, like, like I, I just took like the best players in the world and copied their movements for hours at a time all day until I had a memorized and it was just not, I had notes. I was taking notes. I had a notebook with like, like, like, you know, um, acronyms and, and, uh, and shorthand. And I don't know why i got so into that game yeah and like i've

said it before but like there would be times because you'd be like i got to get the four minute and 30 second classic age and it'd be like four minutes and 33 seconds and kind of like we got to restart i missed the classic yeah it's like okay let's get the gun to restart so you can hit three seconds early on classic yeah i had it down to like seconds of perfection like it like it would be like taking a speedrunner's time and being like all right that's that's par like par for the course is the speedrunner's time and i have to hit it every time every step of the way or it's no fun and and we do that we even figured out the right factions for us to play in 2v2 online to where I played as Loki and would rush

so that they couldn't get resources and couldn't get set up, and you would build to Classic, and then mid-Classic just have a huge force to wipe them out because they couldn't get anything going because I had her Sears fucking with them the whole time. It was super unfair. Yeah, it's fun to push people's shit in, though. But I'm pretty steeped

in total war warhammer right now i've got a few people playing it um and uh it's just so daunting to jump back into that game it's like i have to relearn all those hot keys there's only like one which one do you use g oh you just use g for group you don't use the other yeah i just get my group together and then it's just right click, left click. And then 1, 2, 3, 4. There's nothing neat. After G and the lock button, I don't need the rest of the stuff. You don't need J

and you don't need... There's some alt drags. You can hold alt and do some right clicking, but once you know G... It's like a some right clicking but like once you know g it's like a unit formation and setup i think like putting them in different blocks the alt drag i don't know i have to relearn it it's it's pretty simple like you'd learn that part quickly the real thing is learning the meta and like if if you're playing as lizard men and someone else is going to play vampire counts knowing what to do like knowing what the vampire counts are probably going to bring and what

the lizard, like, like, like how to, how to counter that, like how to play against the various factions. But, um,

and there's a lot of factions I'm looking for. I'm loving the game and I'm looking forward to the third one, which should be coming out at the end of the year. Maybe I hope that'd be sick. Oh, nice. I'm down with that. What do you have here,

Woody? So this guy did a write-up of what happened to gamestop today let me read it it's about a minute and a half but i all right i'm glad this place is quiet down enough for some actual dd written by a monkey with a keyboard and adderall dd anyone i don't know my i have no idea. All right. I am that monkey. Here it is. Play by play. Yesterday, new call option strikes were added all the way up to $570. Do I have to go over gamma squeezes again? Really? We've been over this. When deep out of the money call options start being gobbled up and the price starts moving towards being in the money, the call

writers have to hedge their risk of having their sold calls exercised, typically by buying stock. This creates upward pressure on the market. And we've been seeing these movements all week. So people have these rights to buy stock at 570. And as they start being like something people might execute on because the stock's approaching that price, they need to buy shares so that they can cover it. Right? I'm going to buy this at 570. It hits that. And they're like, fuck, well, we need shares on hand to make sure that you can have them. Yesterday after market, you saw the coordinated effort to drive down the price and spook retail investors into a mass sell-off. It didn't work. I think that coordinated effort is probably with regards to like TV shows

and stuff. Last night, Robinhood sent probably with regards to TV shows and stuff. Last night, Robinhood sent out a message to users. You could no longer enter into new options. You could exercise them if you had the collateral money in the account. Very interesting to see the first sign of pants shitting fear. You couldn't buy new options, which means that you couldn't buy options because they didn't want to be forced into a position of having to buy stock to cover your options to buy that stock. Today, the

market opened strong. So strong, we were looking at a self-perpetuating gamma squeeze all the way up past 570. Real quick, is gamma squeeze the same squeeze you explained earlier? I think so, but I'm not positive. At 9.58am, the stock had reached 468 in a parabolic move.

Two minutes earlier, at 9.56, Robinhood tweeted that they were not allowing users to buy GME stock, but they would allow selling. This has a lot of people upset, right? They were making it so that they ended demand and only had supply. it so that they ended demand and only had supply. The trend instantly halted. This is the parabolic move to 468 and started the downward collapse before picking up a bit, especially after some retail was allowed back in. Now that we're clear on the facts, understand this. The market ran out of liquidity today or it was threatening to get close enough that they

killed it. What does that mean? It means they ran out of shares and or capital. They wouldn't let you buy new shares because we were burning through all the shares on the market. I saw an unsubstantiated post from a user who said a market sell order executed at 2600 for him. What does that mean? Market sell order? That means that he had, he says, if this stock hits $2,600, dump it. And he says it happened for him. Do you get the severity of the situation if that's true?

It means that buying was getting to the point where it was just about infinite pressure on the price of shares. It means virtually any ask was getting bid. How do you get infinite upwards pressure? A gamma squeeze triggering the mother of all short squeezes, just like we predicted. The call writers needed shares to hedge. This is a call option, right? I have the right to buy this stock at $560,000. And they need to have stocks on hand because I already purchased the right to buy it. Retail is still buying more.

The short sellers need over 100% of the float back. They add these together. There were more shares needed than existed on the open market. That's what a liquidity crisis is. Listen to this. And then it's a link to an audio file. Remarkable interview of the chairman of interactive brokers admits that they didn't have the capital to pay out the winners us.

So they took their ball and they went home. Do you grasp how insane it is that he said they needed to shut down buy orders to protect the market? Hello? He's not talking about the market for GME shares. He's talking about the entire market, the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, all that. Remember the movie Snowpiercer? Do you remember the scene when the lower class people realized the soldiers who opposed them have no bullets? It kickstarts a full-blown rebellion they have no bullets it's the exact same in this market no

capital no shares infinite losses too long didn't read would you skip to the bottom to say do i get my tendies now tendies or chicken tenders or gains. The answer is this. They need, need, need your shares. Do you get that hold? Just like the guy in the movie where they scream, they're out of bullets and create a stampede. That's how we win. He brings it up twice. They need your shares so badly that they literally risked prison time to get them.

They tried robbing you and I'm not even exaggerating. They were within 30 seconds of getting wiped out today. I don't know how much of that is true. That's probably 80% bullshit. Look at the link that I just sent. Okay. That's really interesting. This game's top.

A lot of it's just going right over my head, but I'm trying to track with it. You've done a great job explaining it. Thank you. I'm crying. I just became a billionaire. I don't know where to track with it. You've done a great job explaining it. Thank you. I'm crying. I just became a billionaire. I don't know where else to share it. I bought 2000 Bitcoin at $1 back in the day

and then sold all this year to have 40 million. Then in the summer, I bought 40 million worth of GameStop stock. Yesterday, I sold about 8 million shares of GameStop at 144. I'm worth 1.1 billion now. It just came through now to my bank. I'm sorry, females. I don't want rack chasers i'm not going to become mr available all of a sudden now that you got your dollar signs in your eyes you could have had me before you called me a freak well look at me now

i'm a billionaire i'm going to find a female who cares about me for who i am and not because i'm a billionaire all right first of all good luck with that second this is not true it can't be i choose to believe this is like a santa like story i believe in this i have an easier time believing all the relationship advices than this one although he does have a picture of his bank account at the bottom but i also don't believe yeah there it is it's 800 million pounds which i presume is a billion oh well then he's got a ways to go in billions of pounds. He's a billion dollars though.

Do billionaires if you're worth 850 million pounds in England do they call you a billionaire because they use the US currency as like the billionaire cut off? I do think it is in USD. If you have a billion rupees do you get to call yourself a billionaire?

What? No, you'd need like a trillion rupees. Actually, that'd probably get you way more than a billion. How much is a rupee? Is it worthless? How much is a rupee? I don't know. A rupee is $2.

It's.014. It's $71,000 looking am I a billionaire I think I so a billion rupees is $13,000,000 oh a billion rupees is 13 million dollars oh I did

the Indonesian rupiah which I think which I think is the way to go because then you only need 71,000 American dollars to be a billionaire in Indonesian rupiah I did Turkish lira and it's tougher.

I don't think any of us are billionaires in that. The Iranian rial is the weakest currency of 2020. Probably because of all those sanctions we got on them. Well, we'll take care of that. $42,000 to a dollar.

That's a whole lot easier. You need like $2,500 to a dollar. That's a whole lot easier. You need like $2,500 or something. I remember when we've – I think it was the second time we went to Iraq and gave them some freedom. Some of the soldiers invested in their currency and made a lot of money because their currency improved when we went there and uh yeah at least temporarily they did i say i don't know what i said yeah iran oh okay my mistake i meant iraq the second time we invaded them yeah apparently propped up their currency until the civil war there was a we had

a 50 patron that was an iraqi and uh and he was talking about like being there went during the first during the most recent time we invaded them he's like yeah you know then then you guys came in and invaded us and and everything and i was like you're welcome by the way and he he didn't think it was funny he wasn't appreciative we spent trillions on that he spent trillions and got nothing he literally said oh yeah thank you we'll come back it wasn't fish was it no he's not from Iraq

I think he was born in somewhere in northern Africa oh was he I thought he was born in America actually pretty sure he was born somewhere in Africa but lives in detroit he's about as american as it gets he showed me his ak or i showed us all his ak uh yesterday the day before it looks like something ar this thing looks like something straight out of tarkov

oh yeah i'll see if i can find you a picture of missing the dust cover and stuff oh no like like like like a meta tarkov oh okay what does that mean like a well-used one what does no meta always means like the very good but what what when people said they understand the meta or this is a meta gun it means that it is as perfect as it can exist in this game it's the meta but i don't think i understand like the actual word i think it means like current best structure to play the game because like in magic it'll be like oh the current meta is white black tokens or whatever and it's like oh everybody i'm gonna run into is gonna be playing white black tokens because that's the that's the meta everybody knows that's the best thing you can be nobody's playing green

manor ramp right now because compared to the rest of the meta it's just too weak whereas like oh the meta of smgs in this call of duty is terrible so i all right so side note meta exists in computer science and it's like metadata is data about the data right how many records are in this how it's indexed etc and i never got my head out of that in the world of gaming meta it means most effective tactic available. I didn't know it was an acronym. Most effective tactic available. Oh, I did not know that either. We all learned something.

I bet most of our audience knew and they think less of us now. That's the case and I also knew. But fucking none of them knew. Oh, that looks sick. Looks like you make ice cream in it or something. That bottom part. Yeah, he's got the drum magazine on there.

Wow. Yeah, that looks awesome. There's so much shit on that. Nah, not that much. He's got a grip, a flashlight, got the magazine. I don't think I understand what the wire to the flashlight's doing. You get a squeeze to turn it on.

Oh, okay. I get it. I was having a forced perspective thing. I didn't see that as a flashlight. I thought that was an uber fancy addition to the barrel and it was flush with the rest. Okay, I see it. Is that a nice scope? I can't tell.

Looks like it might be an aim point, but I don't see a brand. Well, that's awesome. I want one. I feel like everything he could have swapped out has been swapped out on this. He needs the Bastion dust cover. Give himself a different

muzzle break on there. He can get him aion dust cover. Give himself a different muzzle break on there. You can get him a different dust cover. You can swap that trigger out. He's already put a Magpul forend on there. This is like the version of the AK where they say, you know how your body fully regenerates every seven years? Are you even the same person? They're like, oh oh my axe handle broke

and so i replaced the axe handle and then i lost my axe head and replaced the axe head do i have a new axe this is is it this is a ship we're talking about do you are you familiar with this it sounds familiar but i i don't know is it you replaced every piece in the ship is it still the same one ship of this is the metaphysics piece in the ship? Is it still the same one? Ship of Theseus. The metaphysics of identity. The ship of Theseus is a thought experiment that raises the question of whether an object has had all its components replaced is the same object. So they take this ship over time.

Every board in it is replaced. And that's that. Oh, several variants are known, including grandfather's axe, where the handle and the head are replaced. Same thing. That's the one I've heard. Yeah. What's the answer? What's the right answer?

No, I guess there isn't because it's a thought experiment. It is supposed that the famous ship sailed by the hero Theseus in a great battle was kept in a harbor as a museum piece. As the years went by, some of the wooden parts began to rot and were replaced by new ones. After a century, every part had been replaced. The question is, is the restored ship still the same object as the original? So there's the ship. Interesting. In that case, definitely not. Yeah, I guess not.

In the human body case yes what's the difference right i feel i don't know why i would think that the boat or the ship has some sort of tie to being possessed by because your body's like recreating exact copies of the cells whereas like they're just getting some planks of wood but it's not making exact copies it's making slightly fucked up because of like DNA or RNA copies. So you're always a little worse until you get cancer and shit, right? Like we don't have perfect cell reproduction.

If we did, we wouldn't have disease and such. Yeah, but it's a little closer than a plank of wood, right? It is. I don't know if that... Or maybe it's not, I don't know. I mean, you're still you. Like you remember, you have your same memories and stuff.

You're still the same exact... You're the same person. You're still you, but the boat is not still the same boat. The difference is the sentience. Because your thoughts and memories are there, while the boat doesn't have that. But would we know if they had just been

recreated? Not if they did it well. We all have false memories. Yeah. A lot of that... You know those repressed memory things? I remember watching this thing in school

and it was about... I don't remember who it was. It was some psychiatrist or psychologist who was renowned for pulling these repressed memories out of people. it was some like psychiatrist or psychologist who was like renowned for like on like pulling these repressed memories out of people and like after many years it came out like he was like planting these things in a lot of people that like he would have he like there were times where he convinced someone that they had been beaten up by their dad when they were drunk or raped or something and it's like and it just and like the whole point was to show like an equal importance,

like how malleable people are. Like you can be made to believe that things have happened to you that haven't at all, especially at a young age where you don't have those solid memories. It was, um, it's like three weeks ago, Colin had a memory that I was beating him,

that I held him down and I was like ground and pounding him in the face. And my wife is like, that did not happen that's not a thing he's like yeah i watched it he he did it he videotaped it and he uploaded it to his youtube channel and that's where i saw it and i'm like there is no video of me like ground and bounding you like a ufc fighter on my. I'm glad he told Jack you're not a social worker. Can you imagine you go to visit Woody and Colin pulls you aside and whispers that

in your ear, Taylor, and you're just like fuck. He pulls me into Woody's office looking over his shoulder, pulling up Woody's account, the unlisted videos and it's just you. I'm telling the truth he's like DiCaprio in

Inception he doesn't know he's getting his own head about it Shutter Island he had his invented memory where I just beat him up and uploaded videos about it or something well shit see how I'm not in jail i did not upload a video of me committing a felony thinking of my other channel daddy of five or whatever the fuck that guy was oh i forgot all about that guy yeah dude that guy was a piece of shit that poor little kid that in every video is just like i don't want to be

and they just like thump them in the forehead and slap them around we're going to disney world no we're not idiot like just fucking with this like six-year-old openly weeping furious parents mad at him for like making a mess that they made themselves off camera beforehand so it's oh yeah we know it's wildly inappropriate for a five-year-old kid or whatever it is i i wonder what happened to them in the long term did they get their kids back probably they that that's what usually happens and honestly it's it's often better than going into the system sure sure and and i hate to think they could i i i'm reluctant to think that they could ever be good parents but maybe like they somehow got without the youtube channel like it

seems like they don't have the impetus to to be pieces of shit and and they were just somehow unaware that they were pieces of shit they didn't recognize how damaging their behavior was. Yeah. And now that they're enlightened, they can be better than before, I hope. Yeah. I saw a video on Reddit not too long ago, and it was these two parents who – I think they starved their baby to death or something like that. Because they put them on a vegan diet maybe.

and uh because they like put them on a vegan diet maybe and uh and then they like uh they were convicted of uh of murder like like first degree murder or something like that and their faces when they're when they're convicted it's very satisfying it's very sad they're because they're just like this is like what did you think you murdered your child of course you're guilty they're just like i can't believe it i don't mean to be a cop hater but that's one that i like when a see policemen have this position of trust and authority right like there's because of their authority and rights and and and position in this world, they can get away with bad shit and some abuse. And when they push even that too far and get caught, right. You know, they, they raped a girl with a promise to let her free of her crimes and, you know, not book her and they get

busted for that. That is the most satisfying thing to me. i don't know something about like we trusted you man we put you in this position like you know a cop a priest uh you know someone who's supposed to be on your side six weeks of training and you have your diploma well your ged and we just had so much faith in you because of those those well five weeks i know you were sick toward the end there, but you've got a gun. But if one of society's bad guys does this. The lights. I'm glad they're caught, but I didn't expect any more. If one of society's trusted authority figures does it, then it's extra bad.

When a judge sentences people to jail because they're getting kickbacks from a private prison and they get caught for that oh make him serve all the combined times yeah that's great i saw biden ended the uh the uh for-profit prisons with the private prisons for federal uh prison thing i like that. He's done a lot of stuff that, uh, that, that seems pretty good to me. Um, I don't mind the environmental stuff.

Uh, I saw that he's going to make like all of the federal, like fleet electric. By when was it 20, 35? Am I crazy? Yeah. I,

let me see when it says, I, I, I just read the headline. I didn't, I didn't even consider't consider the the date biden electric vehicles federal and i was seeing some politicians did shady shit with tesla because they knew they bought up a bunch of stock before that was announced about the federal fleet

oh yeah i hope they get pelosi did it and some other ones did too. Probably a fucking... Fucking toss her out. I recognize that she's good at politics and helps my team, but I'm not so attached to bad guys that I want them on my team. Fucking throw her in jail. Did they get rid of those Republicans that did that shit recently? No, they didn't.

Not a single one of them. They always get away with it. Yeah. Now, one of them lost an election. Actually, two of them in Georgia did it, and they both lost. Well, they should go to jail. Shouldn't have to lose an election. Richard Burr in North Carolina did it.

He's fine. And I bet it's just one of those things. They all do it, so they're not going to hold each other's feet to the fire. Yeah. A high enough percentage of them do it that it's not going to be a thing they've all got skeleton in their closet it's like they have a professional courtesy to let the other people be criminals you know like even if even if you're perfect and i'm not it's like well that's just woody's way right he kind of scams and makes

insider trades and it's ridiculous you know It's not as many vehicles I thought it was going to be. There's 645,000 vehicles in the federal government's fleet currently. It's still a lot. It is a lot. Especially at Tesla prices. Oh, and about that guy Daddy05.

In June 2019, it was reported that Mike has started a SoundCloud channel uploading his music as Mikey M. Mikey M. Mikey M. What a rad dude. If you want to support Daddy O5 for some reason, that's how. He was on five years of supervised probation following that initial thing.

And then while on probation, one of the things was you can't upload videos of your kid. They started a new channel and he uploaded a video of his kid. And they deleted that one. Then they went behind a paywall. Yeah, these people are not doing anything anymore. So actually can't find anything that talks about when on the federal fleet. This article reads like kind of quickly. And the 2035 thing is General Motors said it would end the sale of all gas and diesel powered passenger cars and light

utility vehicles by 2035. So GM says cars and light utility vehicles, which I guess is half ton pickups and less, by 2035 will all be electric. Yeah. I don't believe those

far flung. Right? Like China said that by, I think, 2060, they were going to be carbon neutral recently. Just see that. Yeah. Which is to say the next gen can handle it.

40 years from now. Not even like, like China is currently building either two or maybe 300 coal burning power plants. And that's just in China. They're funding a further 200 or 300 on several other continents, from Africa, Europe, as well as Asia. And someone pointed out,

but they're the number one manufacturers of solar and wind technology. Yeah, they produce that stuff using coal burning energy so that they can undercut the rest of the world's production and then sell that renewable energy to first world countries, which then makes their energy more expensive

so that their coal burning thing just keeps making even more money. Interesting that they're using... So coal in America is very expensive. It's the most expensive. Coal is dying in America. It's not because people hate the poison that it spews.

It's because it's more expensive. It's one of our most expensive energy sources. Natural gas is much cheaper. And it happens to be cleaner, which is fortunate. But that's why everyone's switching from coal to natural gas. Solar and wind are both cheaper than coal so that's interesting too not in china though yeah yeah so that's where um i was surprised to learn that in china coal was cheaper i wonder why it's different is it is it a volume thing i would say because they've got so much of it and they pay the miners so little and there's no safety regulations.

Is it like a per capita thing where it's like, okay, once we have the panel set up per capita, it's cheaper to continue making solar compared to all the refinement and nonsense of the oil? Or is it, so it's like the issue, like there just aren't enough solar panels? Like it's a volume problem. Like if we had enough, we could do it. Nuclear energy is going to be the answer whenever they everybody stops being afraid of nuclear energy it's going to be a good day that's probably the cleanest thing we can do yeah you just got the nuclear waste to deal with afterwards just send that to the moon how do you get it there you just kind of aim what if you miss once?

You go like... The moon has gravity, Kyle, so if you even get close, it just pulls you. Then you have a really cool second moon that glows green and goes around the initial moon. What if it doesn't quite make it out of the atmosphere? What if it... Oh, well, we'll get it out of the atmosphere.

What year do you think it is? We can do that. I mean, every now and then. I could show you a montage of rockets exploding in the atmosphere. Yeah, but none with nuclear waste on them. Yeah.

Make a strong argument there. None of those had nuclear waste. Nuclear waste will keep the rockets safe. How much nuclear waste are we removing? A massive amount. Wait, wait. That's a good question.

I actually don't know. Like literal train loads of it? Is it? Is it that big? Can I say something? They're putting it in Yucca Mountain. They used a mountain to store it right now. There's so much of it.

I don't know if it's in Yucca Mountain. I always hear like they're gonna,. I don't know if it's – is it Inyaka Mountain? I always hear like they're going to, but I don't know if they're doing it. But in any case, I think you're right that it's big. I learned unrelated. This room is big enough. The office I'm in, it's a decent room, but it's not big. It can hold all the vaccine we need to inoculate america like the amount of fluid isn't that high so i was like how big is nuclear weight nuclear waste like is it it's a 55 gallon drum enough

is that like four years worth yeah i didn't know that either i assumed it was like the simpsons where like they have one plutonium bar and you know it takes care of no it's have you seen it's those enormous rods those those those enormous right they're not the size of glow sticks like they are the simpsons no they're like telephone poles he's fine that carl this doesn't sync up with what I learned on The Simpsons. Are you sure? I went to the Kiwi nuclear power plant one time and took a tour, and they're huge. I did too, and they gave me a simulated pellet.

I have seen them. They gave me what they – they're like, this isn't a real nuclear power rod, but it's what they look like and it was the size of a peanut m&m well that's a terrible i think they have many many of those in like a bigger rod or something like that because they it's those huge rods in that water tank that cooling tank okay but what about glow what about this you take those i. I mean, it's a big rocket. So it can fit a bunch of... We're back to the rocket?

Yes, we're back to the rocket. You fit a bunch of telephone poles in there. Telephone pole shaped things. A huge amount of them. And you coat them all in special material yet to be invented. That in case it goes bad, it's covered. And you don't even need to do that

because I'm confident in our scientist's aim. You don't even aim it anywhere close that it can go bad. You just fire it deep out into space. It's somebody else's problem now. Just straight shot. Past the moon. Not even towards other planets. Just, you know, kind of out.

Or towards the sun. I'm pretty sure the cost would be just gargantuan. Why? Okay. Because of how expensive it is to launch things into outer space. But if we're getting all our power so cheap, a little bit of that money

can go into firing our rockets into space covered with plutonium or something. It's not free power. You've got to run the nuclear power plant. I don't like this because I know you're not serious. I am serious. Let me be serious.

The maintenance of a refinery, the oil fields, you think that's going to be less expensive than the maintenance of a nuclear power plant where it's more centralized, fewer people needed to run it? I know how big nuclear fuel is. I looked it up. So the rods, it's a rod rod it's four meters long 12 feet ish

and the thickness they just they compared to a gel pen right which is like m&m thickness but four meters long and they fill those control rods with pellets which probably is what they gave me when i went there like it so it's a it's a cylinder about the size of a peanut mm but it's like a it's not right it's not whatever that is a weird oval like an m&m it's a perfect cylinder then they put a bunch of those pellets four meters worth in a control rod and then there's a bunch of control rods inside so but the control rod has a lot of the smaller rods in it that are the size of a gel pen it had the well there's many control rods

and just looking at the picture i would estimate like i don't know 18 something like that um and so there's 18 four meter rods each of them holding like a thick ballpoint pen but how long does that last like how long until that's depleted like how much energy do you get out of that one i think it's a couple of years i think it's like like like three years or something like that something like like more than one or two but less than five or six, I think. Because I remember like the nuclear aircraft carriers, I read that those use a chunk of fuel the size of a golf ball for some like ungodly amount of time. Like a golf ball size chunk of uranium was enough to power one of those

for like a year or something. Like a nuclear submarine? No, a nuclear aircraft carrier but is that the same thing they do for nuclear submarines does that mean does a nuclear submarine mean it's running on nuclear energy or that it can fire a nuke both well our nuclear submarines do fire nuclear weapons but i think there are nuclear submarines that don't fire nuclear weapons so i looked up the how long it lasts part and they tend to replace the fuel in those rods every two years or so.

They typically do it in spring or autumn when electricity demand is the lowest. How expensive is it to make uranium? You mean to refine uranium? Or turn it into the shit we need that it's actually useful. Is that not nearly as bad as oil per amount of energy? I think what you want to know is how much electricity costs when it comes from a nuclear fuel plant.

Right? Would that answer it best? Yeah. You'd have to know like per ounce of nuclear fuel rod how many gigawatts of electricity are being produced and do some cost analysis that way. I want to know because I imagine nuclear is so much more efficient. It is. It definitely is. By a huge margin. I mean, if they've got, if like the uranium that fits into one of those tanks runs a nuclear power plant for two or three years, then I mean, the answer is obvious.

We just put them all in Hawaii just in case. But how do we get? We'll have a series of tubes. Series of tubes. That will bring electricity from the island to the mainland you know what let's put them close to our enemies well there's one fairly close to uh to me that's that's very comforting um i grew up real close to one actually so we have here this is the cost of electricity from various sources uh onshore wind is the cheapest followed

by solar natural gas geothermal offshore wind this is like over the water coal nuclear and the natural gas at peak oh i don't know what natural gas cc versus peak means i don't know either but um i would imagine that the issue here is like not enough power plants or not enough nuclear plants well well no i would imagine the the issue is here like all right so so solar costs much less right am i reading this right the dollars but you can't get as much solar because of the the area that it takes to put the panels uh i don't know panels my imagination is i'm not sure i'm guessing one wind and solar they're not reliable right that's what you're headed at and the other is what makes it expensive is the reason coal expensive because

the epa checks on you is the reason nuclear is so expensive is because the government watches it so closely to dot all those I's and cross all those T's and not change anything about the way you do it for 40 years raises the cost. You know, if, if cowboys tried to do nuclear power, would it be cheap,

but dangerous, right? Let's not act like it's inappropriate to check on what they're doing, but like, where is the cost coming from because you can do solar with not much oversight solar is the second coolest kind yeah you fuck up once you melt a house down the road which in itself is kind of like it sucks but it's kind of fucking cool right but what happens if you fuck up once a nuclear is a much bigger deal ah you get a superhero okay you're winning me over yeah what about the super

villain then you need to you gotta roll those dice you gotta roll those dice all right it's still kind of cool we have to roll the dice and blow up another generator we need to make a superhero to combat this villain taylor, all we get is death. This isn't working like you said. It didn't work again. They all just got lymphoma. What we've learned is that it only creates villains. Ruins a lot of plants. All we have are 11 supervillains, and I can count them on two hands.

I mean, it is. This time we got a fire guy. It's kind of cool. count them on two hands. This time we got a fire guy. It's kind of cool. I like the two hands. Yeah, I don't know. I would be all for the nuclear thing though. Because it seems... We make enough of the panels.

I just don't know where you put all those fucking panels and stuff. What's really cool though is I saw where they had that one thing the panels i don't know i just don't know where you put all those fucking salt those uh the panels and stuff what's really cool though is i saw where they had that one thing where they've got all the mirrors focusing the light onto the one uh collector in the middle that's pretty cool to see i'm on the other side with the panel location i'm like every roof should be panels we have so much surface there hardly any of our surface area is covered with panels now roof should be panels. We have so much surface area. Hardly any of Earth's surface area is covered with panels now. Roofs should be the default.

And it doesn't really, it costs things in terms of money, but in terms of like quality of life, it costs nothing. You're not using your roof as like fun sunbathing areas or anything. Like it's just, it's there doing nothing all the time. It should be the de facto standard. I used to think that about cars. Like why aren't cars just charging why don't we just collecting energy apparently it's like a total waste of time but it gathers so little energy they're like we could do it and it would like maybe power a fan that exhausts the hot air in the summer like that is a really low interest for me like yeah but if every house had

one of those and it was always charging a battery and that battery was responsible for like the really low use stuff in your home like maybe there were there was like one or two outlets that it used like your i don't know your hair dryer you're keeping your electric shaver and your batteries charged and stuff things like that things that aren't like pulling a lot of amperage or whatever, but AC, right? Maybe like, I think it can do,

I think it can do more than you're giving it credit for. It's not just going to do the dining room table lights like that. There's a lot of surface area on all these roofs. Yeah, I guess so. But I mean, yeah, I don't know.

I would, I don't know why that's not a... That seems like the sort of thing that I would be happy to have some sort of government funding for. It seems like you should... I don't know. It's just in all of our best interest to have one, like a solar roof. It does seem like it'd be a little world improvement, wouldn't it? Like it's better than...

I'm sure the power plants would love it. Yeah. There is a problem with inconsistent power delivery, right? Like that's an issue. I want power all the time. I've become accustomed to my sockets just always working. And it shouldn't matter what time of day it is, whether it's sunny out, whether there's snow on my solar panels, etc.

matter what time of day it is whether it's sunny out whether there's snow on my solar panels etc so my expectation is that you mr nuclear mr um nuclear plant or uh natural gas plant whatever you need enough capacity so that when you run at 100 none of us feel any inconvenience but i want you to operate at 15 capacity so we can use solar any other time that's a lot to ask right well it would charge a battery right so that like you know you'll be drawing from the battery so because because obviously at night you still want your lights to work because that's when you need them especially at night yeah yeah so uh real quick i was just checking we were talking about wanting the next big thing that's going on and okay apparently there's a cryptocurrency that was a joke called Dogecoin. Oh, no.

And it's trending on Twitter with half a million people all saying to buy Dogecoin. And so it's worth five or no, it's up to six cents. Dude. And it started at, I think, like a fraction of a penny. That currency started as a joke. It was a reddish joke. And I guess it has a mascot that is a meme dog. It's the Doge.

The Doge. I'm just showing everyone. It's this dog. You probably recognize his picture. Anyway, they just started a Bitcoin-type thing as a goof. And somehow they're running it up right now. They're telling everyone to buy it. And while the price is really low, like Taylor said, a couple cents,

I think as a percentage gain, it's pretty notable. Yeah, it's pretty notable. Yeah. It's, it's like 600% or something like that. 600%. This thing from 14 hours ago says 142%. One of my paramotor friends said, so this is how Jeff Bezos feels.

I know he's been talking to me. Oh my God. Is it? I'm confused. This thing says it's down 7,000%. I might be wrong on that. No. All right.

Anyway, I'll show you what I'm looking at. It's confusing. Doge is up 400% today. Here's a chart. People are seeing it, which shows it's hugely up. But then this thing confused me which

says that it's down so this how is the volume 19 and a half billion i don't know coin desk this is a like legit thing people use i don't know how it can have its data wrong but um anyway it looks like it's up huge and uh my friend, a Paramotor friend, has been talking about owning this for like a couple of years now. But remember when Bitcoin was a big deal like three years ago? I know it's a big deal now, but he was like, man, imagine if Dogecoin hit. I think he has a lot of this.

I wonder, sell! Has it become notable money? No, this is all from everything else that happened today. This morning, yeah, this morning it was two and a half cents each, and now it's... Seven cents, I just checked on... Now it's almost eight cents. As of like, literally right now,

this like I'm, I'm on coin desk. Oh, you were too. I see. I asked him how much he has. It doesn't look like he's online. We'll see.

Um, yeah, he, he owned a bunch of Bitcoin too. And he's like, if Bitcoin hits 25,000, I'm going to get a van life van i want one it'll fund it i'll just do it and 25 grand has come and gone is it like 40 it's 34 right now okay so yeah dude made

money well maybe dogecoin is our entrance into the market that half of bitcoin i bought for five thousand dollars paying off yeah so it would be 15 ish something now 17 17 nice nice yeah just hold on to it see what happens i'm not gonna touch it for a very long time it's on that ledger thingy no i should have bought one back in the day. Yeah. When Kyle and I were into it, you could only get... Like, you had to... They maxed out. You could only buy $5,000 worth, which at the time, I think it was less than half a Bitcoin or more.

I don't remember. Yeah, it was right about half. It was something like that. Yeah, yeah. I want to say that it was 12 grand when I bought. I rode it to 16 and got out. So it turns out holding it for years would have been better. But I'm not unhappy.

I bought a wing and I really liked it. Yeah. So, but yeah, I don't know. It's funny to see the internet collectively manipulate markets. And I guess it's just that you hate the people who are losing. And I guess, I guess it's just that you hate the people who are losing. So it's fun. Yeah.

Well, and you like the people who are winning a lot more, you know, I do like the people who are winning normal people who figured out how to do something awesome. I think it's, I think it's so cool. The thing there's class warfare in this country. I just think it's neat. It's just now the lower class is fighting back and they don't like it. And there's class warfare in this country and i just think it's neat it's just now the

lower class is fighting back and they don't like it and there's they're winning right now it's it's fucking amazing like we've been doing trickle-down economics since the 1980s right for 40 years yeah and they and uh uh you know it's always a bit. I remember the fucking Trump tax cuts from four years ago. Tucker Carlson's on TV saying, man, I want my boss to be as rich as possible. The more money my boss has, the more he's likely to pay me or hire new people or whatever. Oh, so true. So not true. As a guy who's been hired and hired, you pay people usually enough that they don't go to your competitors.

That's how much you pay people. And you hire more people not because you have too much money. Who the fuck has too much money? Jeff Bezos doesn't have too much money. He would like more. He'd like to run up the score and go down in history even more than he is now. Jeff Bezos pays people as little as he can so that they don't go to somewhere else. would like more. He'd like to run up the score and go down in history even more than he is now. Jeff Bezos pays people as little as he can

so that they don't go to somewhere else and he hires as few people as he can. The only reason he hires more people is the existing staff can't get it done.

That's the only reason you hire people. It is not because you lower their taxes. It's fucking idiotic. But they've been doing this trickle down shit where they make the rich

as rich as possible and they fool everyone else they lie to them and say man the richer your boss is the better you do let's flip it let's fucking flip it next time you need an economic stimulus do what uh you know trump did and give out what was it twelve hundred dollars and uh it's to people who will actually inject it back into the economy like and that that trickle down shit is like how many decades of actual evidence do we have to be like hmm if only we could somehow see wages have stagnated for decades and the top one percent and the really rich have gotten well oh no wait we can look at that and see it and it gets more dramatic as the decades go on. If you need economic stimulus, which is always their argument, oh, we need to stimulate the economy, we need to make your boss richer,

give it to the bottom people. And then the business-owning class, they can compete for it. Do you make water filters? Do you paint houses? Are you a plumber? Do you sell trinkets like Amazon and Target? Hey, all your customers just got $1,200 or $2,000, whatever it is. Go get it.

And you'll do fine. Everyone will do fine. Why we give it to the rich and hope that somehow they trickle it down out of generosity, which is the argument they've been making. It's such bullshit. Flip it upside down. And I'm telling you, if you're target and all your customers suddenly get two thousand dollars you'll be fine you're gonna do okay but it's it's a better model than than the reverse and it's it's corrupt it's it's evil that they've been doing it the way

they have yeah it's trash and so like that's a big reason why so many people are viscerally viscerally seeing this and being like yeah these people that have just been like these hedge fund managers, vampirically living off of our economy, like fuck them, fuck them. Nice use of vampirically. I like it. Is that a real word? It should be vampirically. Yeah, it is. Yeah. It's a word. That's what those hedge fund managers are. They're just, they suck. It's such a predatory thing to do. But anyway, I'm excited to see what happens tomorrow with this.

I hope tomorrow is the day that they have to buy back all their shares and it just goes bananas. What a show. What a show. I think tomorrow is the day that something's going to go down. We'll see what goes down. And I hate to say it. My prediction is that the power people managed to screw everybody.

Well, yeah, they won't lose. Right? If they do go bankrupt, they'll get a bailout from the people who own stock yep hey uh congratulations on your win but there's a new tax and it applies to just you yeah it's just you uh we're gonna go ahead and privatize all the winnings socialize all the losses and that's america and uh oh you're gonna you're gonna lobby your congressman to to make that illegal that's america and uh oh you're gonna you're gonna lobby your congressman to to make that illegal that's really funny because uh i just gave 60 million dollars

to his opponent so i'm not concerned at all about that like yeah but that level of power is just not not good for a functioning society. That level of, when they can just impose their will like that, it's crazy. They're going to get exactly what they want. They will. These hedge fund people, all the Uber wealthy,

they probably will get exactly what they want in the end. And they will. The first thing they're going to do is make sure that this never happens again. Impose new restrictions, make sure that they keep the common man out of the market even more than before. It's what it seems like they're going to do. This is why Trump won right now. I think he wasn't the guy that did this or will do it, but I think the idea was like,

you know what? Republican Democrat, don't give a fuck. I'm voting for a Molotov cocktail. Let's put it in the white house. Yep. And that particular Molotov cocktail was a self-dealing narcissist who, you know,

we need a better one. It's yeah. We need a different one. You know, people are going to go bonkers. Like I had AOC in my head. I don't actually like a lot of her ideas, but there's,

there's gotta be a better Molotov cocktail than I can think of off the top of my head. Yeah. Throw Elon Musk in there. Let's see what he can do. He's not American, but it's about time we broke that trend. Let's see. Just give it a go.

That is the best idea I've got in my head right now, so I'm on board. Well, I gave this no thought. I just thought of a rich, famous guy. Whatever he wanted, if he wanted to so this stuff's so interesting what is she holding in her hand here

Marge is holding a potato a potato I just think they're neat that's not poop then okay I just think they're neat that's not poop then okay i just think they're neat sorry you did good taylor when you started working out potato when did you start working out again would you call it two years no four a little over four years now did you have to start real slow how slow yeah uh i i i started off a lot slower than i am now because i didn't want to hurt myself and so a little over four years now. Did you have to start real slow? How slow did you start? Yeah.

I started off a lot slower than I am now because I didn't want to hurt myself. And so I just, I only had at the time like kettlebells and a very simple flat bench because I was in a small apartment at the time. I remember you starting with kettlebells. Yeah. And so like the whole point at the time was like,

I'm going to get kettlebells because I have absolutely no fucking room and I need to be able to do multiple things that I couldn't do comfortably with a dumbbell. And so I just did like I jumped in with I don't know what it's called, I guess a clean and press with the kettlebell. I did a bunch of those, usually like five by eight on each side as heavy as I could go. And then like chest presses with them, skull crushers, um, rows for my back. I just did, I just watched YouTube videos and was like, I have stuff that I can do that. And I just did that. Like, it was not very structured at all. In the beginning, it was kind of like, I had the attitude of the best workout is the one you do. And so I made it more fun off the start. And then as I got more fit and lost some weight and got

stronger, it like, I think Joe Rogan says weight and got stronger it like i think joe rogan says this and something he's like a lot of people are like afraid of working out because they're like i'll just get i'll just feel shitty and be sore and bad but like he says like but once you're like in the grind once you're in the momentum once you got that push in you like you look forward to it and you want to do it you know like you're like i'm in that grind right now like i have so much momentum i haven't missed a workout in forever i'm down eight and a half pounds i'm going pretty quick with all but i'm very pleased with it but i'm like like the thought of like cheat meals is like at this point i'm like you know what no i'm i'm rolling i'm fucking rolling

dude let's just push it as far as i can and then when i do have a cheat meal I can pretty much guilt-free blow out on it I'm in the same place I I my um my shoulder to like buy and try have a thinner part I don't just have a solid state sausage from shoulder to elbow anymore it gets narrower and wider again and I was looking at that and I wasn't even flexing I was just like maybe holding my arm in the air and I'm like, wow, like that's, it's been a while since I've had that. I don't miss a workout. What's been huge for me is the split. It's been, what I used to do is full body workout Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I did that as a teenager. I did that in my twenties. I did that in my third. It was always like, I don't know. It was the answer in my mind was a little closed. And I heard about like other splits, people who work out five days

a week. And I thought, man, I could never recover from that. Five days a week is too much. I was wrong. Uh, what I do now, I'm going to write it for people while I do it. So I do a push one, Push one, pull one, leg slash abs one, and then, oops, I'm doing typos. Hold on. And then rest. And then I do that again. So it's like an, I don't know if you'd call this an eight-day split, but then I do push, pull, legs, abs, a different set of exercise, and rest.

So this is eight days on the rotation. This is what I wrote for everyone because I thought visualizing it would help. Yeah. And it takes eight days to go around. So the downside of it is if you live a normal life, like say Taylor does, where you have a job, then they don't line up on the same days of the week all the time. And for some people that would matter. They might want to drop the rest in the middle so that it takes six days. It's a seven day rotation instead of eight. But for me, like I do push, which is like chest and triceps and shoulders.

And then they don't really get smashed again until push two. It gives me three days to rest and I'm 48. That's giant. I can have exhausted quads but I know like you're gonna get three whole days before you come around to this again I can work so much harder it the workouts when I did Monday Wednesday Friday so Monday I'd kill myself and then on Wednesday I'd be like 80% of me or 90% of me. And then on Friday, I'd be like 75% of me kind of limping in and barely getting out Monday. I might not be a hundred percent anymore. It was only two

days rest. And it gets like cumulative into the point where you either get injured or you miss a workout. The Monday, Wednesday, Friday thing for me, I just couldn't recover quickly enough to do whole body three times a week. This split for me, dude, I can go till failure repeatedly. Almost every exercise, I'm kind of getting it right. And- I wish I started PPL way before,

because this is just better. Push-pull legs, okay, yeah. And so I think Taylor does push-pulllor does push pull legs push pull legs and then double rest do i have that right no i do monday through saturday so push pull legs push pull legs rest so sunday is my rest day i see yeah yeah but usually like by saturday because that's another like legs core and i've added cardio like that it's fucking rough like i'm just not wanting to finish that especially that i've added cardio at the end now i'm just like this this is off like if i do ever cut workouts short for reason other than time because

of fatigue it's pretty much always day six if you were to get off of your real job then ppl rest twice might be a better schedule yeah like if i'm ever mr full-time twitch yeah internet guy i am immediately going to this because it would be so much fucking nicer to have that middle rest day like i feel like it would even make my push too better even though like oh legs and abs it has nothing to do with your push really it's like well but it's still exertion you know and you're still you're still using your body like it does exhaust you a bit i want to like evangelize ppl rest you know like like guys you don't know because i would like hit the gym enthusiastic at the start and then whatever six weeks in i'm looking i'm either hurt or I'm looking for excuses to miss a day. Cause I need it. Cause I can't do whole body three times a week. It, I can't keep up, you know, at 19,

I could at 19. That was a good fit for me at 47. I'm almost 48 now. Um, I can't keep up with that. I need the more rest. And it's like, guys, you don't know. The gym can be good. It can be a celebration of what you can do, not a fucking torture session of what you have to do. And like, I'm all on board now. Yeah, it's fun. You feel good afterward. Like, even if you kind of had a shit day and you're anxious, like doing that just makes you like,

you know what? Something's in the win column for the day. I ate good. My calories are good. My protein's good. And I worked out. Okay. Other things weren't shitty, but that's something to hang your hat hat on it's kind of like the clean your room thing right like jordan peterson would be like start your day off with a win

you got something done hey you clean your room my workouts you know like it's it's a reason to be proud of me and for sure so yeah yeah well who knows the the cracks in the glass pane that is our economy could reach me any day and then i'll be mr full-time twitch taylor you have got to do the thing where you see how little you can do and get fired you have got to just stretch that out. They'll put you on like at Cisco, you might go on a work improvement plan where they like try to coach you to be a good employee. And if that goes poorly, they put you on a performance improvement plan. There's like two to four quarters in this process. There's a lot of money to be made in work and if you just improve a little

like three quarters of the way through everything starts all over again i would imagine yeah but some of the companies to be like you know you've handled these meetings for us before and you wore clothes and another thing is you showed up you You did that. So that, yeah. I'm too afraid. I told you you assaulted a man in the last minute. I'm too afraid to do the do nothing approach. Oh, no, no. You need to do that at a time when you're not afraid anymore. You're pretty much a full-time entertainer.

This other thing is just a side hustle. How much time do you spend in meetings per week? Like in actual meetings on the phone? It's really up in the air it varies a lot uh 12 ish a week 12 hours a week maybe more than that uh like uh yesterday what was it yes yeah it was yesterday i only spent four like yesterday was a good example of like like i had time to stream during the day i streamed from like 2 to 6 or something because I got up earlier. I got a bunch of stuff done.

And then it turned out like, oh, some calls that I usually had to take got knocked off the schedule. Awesome. But usually like my morning and especially early afternoon is pretty clogged with stuff. And if it's not calls, it's like I'm working on whatever bullshit I have to get done. Oh, no. Okay. Well, that's got to stop. Yeah.

In this scenario, that's done with. Let's say you're scheduled for like 16 hours of call a week, right? Cut that down to 10. At 10 hours a week, I bet this job's worth it. Yeah. At 10 hours a week, this is a good plan. 10 hours is not bad, right? You really had to start underperforming at work. I want to see you employ this plan.

I need to try just immediately. Like, yeah, we lost items at Target. You're gone. Oh, well, you know, that's how you learn. But I really feel like you can swing that. You're like, you know that's how you learn but i i really feel like you can swing that be like you know what there's ways to measure my performance in way and other than items on the shelves it's it's funny also and like when i do get a chance to stream during the day i'll play like magic for a couple hours and people like you know well meaning like jokes will be like oh i finally

got fired full-time streamer you're streaming because because you got let go or something and it's like dude if i if i if i was mr full-time online i lost what i'll call all my offline work that i do i would not be streaming for two hours on a wednesday i would be like it's fucking go time like this is the job the job now. I got to get moving. Like I would be so stressed out. Like I could see that happening with Twitch, like sitting at home, like even after a stream. And if that's my full-time gig being like, I have to go live again.

I said, what am I doing right now? I'm not, I'm not working right now. You're a lazy piece of shit. You should hate yourself. That hedge fund is going to lose 70 billion 70 that's more money than they have

yeah that's so much yeah taylor when i uh did youtube full time it wasn't so much you're not working right now you're a piece of shit although maybe there was a hint of that the larger element was the more i work the better this goes yeah i i should work all the time if i'm not getting gameplay i should be making videos if i'm not doing one of those i should be responding to comments or posting on Twitter, like developing my relationship with the people who like my content. Like there's always something I can do. That is some level of work, read comments,

get feedback or like, yeah, I don't know. Just whatever. And that's just eat with your head a little bit. But, um, like,

and then there's this, there's this idea that I don't think you struggle with this as much as I did. But like, when you talk about thick skin, I think on a scale of one to 10, I'm born like a three. And then that number can go plus or minus four, depending on where I am.

And the last 11 years have taken my natural state from a three to like a seven, but I can still be four out of 10 some days. And then some days I'm an absolute honey badger. And I don't know how that'll impact you. I think you might be born a seven, but like everybody, you know,

yeah, I can go plus or minus four on the day. Yeah. Well, I, we'll see. We'll see. Eventually it probably will happen unless,

uh, unless we see some booming return to retail. Oh, do you think that there'll be layoffs in your industry? It will be, but like it's more, I guess like consumer, consumer products goods as a whole is going through a weird time right now, especially because like people are pivoting to try and run a higher percentage of their business

on e-commerce because it's just simpler. It's easier. Everybody knows it's the future. And so even though you still go by IRI and Nielsen reports in the market to gauge how well your product is doing, you still have to sell on Amazon. And it used to be that you didn't get any credit on Amazon at all for a sale. So like, let's say, what do you have? Let's say you're going to Target four years ago and you have a pill bottle of supplements that you sell on Amazon. You sell like gangbusters, like just like a couple of years ago, like four years ago, you could have gone in there and be like, we're selling hundreds of thousands of dollars worth every year. I think it's a really up and coming growing product. We'd love to get

it on the shelves at CVS. We think it's great. And they'd be like, okay, well, like, what are your sales metrics? And it's like just four or five years ago, they would have looked at Amazon and been like, no, but like real stores, like where like people go and buy things.

Cause it was all boomers running this shit. They have no foresight for this kind of thing. And so now the whole industry is behind the curve because they've relied so much on foot traffic and retail stores that now that that's severely depleted everywhere, but target like tons, tons of especially premium and more expensive brands are having trouble. And retailers like Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens, even, even some more specialty ones are just skew rationalizing, meaning that they don't want to deal with all the specialty brands. They just go, fuck it. What do you got P&G? Ah, you happen to own the top four items in the category of dishwashing detergent. All right. We're only doing business

with you now. Oh, Steve's dishwasher detergent. Yeah. You had some good sales and you brought in a couple of destination shoppers, but we're not interested overall. You're too difficult to work with. No, too risky. Like we're just going to go with P&G. And so a lot of that's happening where they're taking more. And it's just another example of where smaller businesses, even in CPG, are getting fucked by this because they can't compete. And then things happen where a store, I won't name any stores, will say like, OK, well, we'll put a new product in for you. But there's a slotting allowance for us, meaning like how much it costs to place it in every spot in their stores so i pay you to stock my stuff correct you i work at cvs you work at your product you come to me i say i'll put this in you're gonna

pay uh or not cvs just some random retailer you pay a slotting fee so you owe me for me to put your product in you owe me 45 000 or you owe you owe me sixty five thousand dollars eighty thousand whatever it happens to be and johnson and johnson doesn't give a fuck yeah triple it whatever oh you know what we'll do actually we'll pay an even higher slot like it's it's just another thing that i'll buy kyle's slot fee and then get a wider display maybe you know well they can't do that because they have to offer to you but like uh but they're always getting offered it because it's png and j and j it's just now this is off in the weeds and i'm just rambling about nothing but like it is frustrating to watch even in like the industry i'm pretty familiar with like yeah just like everything the big guys win the little guys get pushed out fucked with so that's the way it goes that's the way it goes. That's the way it fucking goes.

Someone just wrote me. I wonder if I'm going to find out if my friend has. Let's see. Oh, wait, wait. When it was worth nothing, he put $50 to $100 in. Of Dogecoin? Yeah. Dogecoin.

So it's up 4, percent is that right so maybe it i'm having a hard time extracting it he bought many fifty to a hundred dollars worth i don't know i'll just ask so what's it worth now? You know what? I might throw 50 bucks in Dogecoin. Hey, I've got a tip. Yeah, now's the time. Do it 10 years ago. That's the move. 10 years too long. Yeah, 10 years. No, I think I'm going to keep my money not in Dogecoin.

Day late and a dollar short. Literally. Alright, he says it's worth more than a paramotor which I interpret to be more than 8 grand. Yeah. Eight grand in Dogecoin. That's pretty funny. Good for him. Yeah, not life-changing,

but certainly a nice addition. This guy is professionally successful, so it's not life-changing, but nice. Nice. I wonder what he'll treat himself to some more doge going did we talk about the do hood rat stuff with my friends dude i remember i said i had him as a topic but don't know. There was like a where is he now, a behind the music kind of thing.

Yeah. He's in jail. Who could have seen that coming? So I didn't keep the things, my bookmarks, because I thought we talked about it. But let's see. I thought we talked about it. But let's see. After seeing something like this, sure, it made for a nice little clip that ended up going viral,

giving people a quick chuckle. However, you would only hope that time would treat Latrarian well. Maybe this young man would be able to get things straight and move his way towards a positive life. However, if recent allegations have anything to say about it, we've learned that he's currently continuing down the same path. If you follow the news, you'll learn about the story of Milton at the scene of the crime as he appears to have robbed a Lyft driver, stealing the driver's wallet and jacket with several accomplices before making off with his car. So he carjacked and robbed a Lyft driver. And when I read it, he was being, I looked into like what he was sentenced with,

because that was like two years ago. And it looks like he's sort of like this released on probation with no time served, Which is easier than Kyle got. That's unfair. Kyle should have gotten nothing. Should have gotten a medal. A medal? Yeah.

What would it look like? For bravely defying an unjust law. It would be a blunt. Yeah. You shouldn't have been punished I'd like a medal yeah it should give you one successful completion of probation

just a big pot leaf it's a giant pot leaf alright go have fun in Colorado kiddo get out of here he's got to hope hope as soon as possible hope so I think that one guy that you were reading from about

the liquidity problem was right really Robin Hood CEO Vlad Tenev apparently was talking to someone on CNN and was like it is not a liquidity problem and then he like explained a liquidity problem is what people are saying yeah it's not a liquidity problem

we just don't have enough money we don't have enough money and there aren't enough shares causing the price to go infinite but it's not a liquidity problem it's something totally different I wonder if they changed the stock price to just that infinity symbol to go infinite and but it's not a liquidity problem it's something totally different what if they change the stock price to just that infinity symbol like the like yeah uh oh infinite then we just need to get in a portion of one stock and we're set for life yeah money at the hands of all right i mean i'm willing to split infinity three ways

And money at the hands of... I mean, I'm willing to split Infinity three ways. Alright, I'm down. It's a much better gig. I'm not missing the Blues game tonight because apparently Vegas players are all in quarantine for COVID violations.

When do they play the Avalanche again? When's the next game? Let's see when they play the Avalanche. Well, they play them six more fucking times. There's the A game let's see when they play the avalanche well they play them six more fucking times um there's the avalanches page uh they play the blues again february 6th and february 7th both at 2 p.m saturday and sunday okay yeah speaking of saturday and sunday we got the patron hangout we do Saturday is there a Sibian sex show on Saturday

you're god damn right there yes that'll be great Kyle wants me to watch just cause he likes watching me be uncomfortable by people fucking I want that too it's gonna be great

someone joined like a day or two ago and they're like, I didn't miss the fuck show, did I? Because that's why I'm here. Don't worry, my friend. You are just in time for the fuck show. You're a week early, in fact. It's coming. Yeah, I'll have to...

I'll find like one guy in there while it's going on and be like, you want to play magic? We'll play a magic with the new cards. Yeah, my man is they enjoy showing off. I was told that they were just in a like, you know, the guys jump into chats a lot

and they'll turn on their cameras and just chat for a couple hours because all of them have webcams and nice mics at this point, it seems. And they were like, yeah, we're all just talking. And then I looked and, well, so-and-so's girl's just there naked. And I don't know how long she'd been there naked, but I think it was the whole time.

I think she'd just been there naked the whole time. They just keep the heat up warm in that house. Right? They must have the heat up high in that house they don't need clothes it'd be cold in here with no clothes it's cold in my house right now it's like 65 i think in here do you like is your heater broken too oh god no uh but i have the fire i have the fireplace on in there i don't have the central air turned on i i've been hanging out in there watching TV mostly.

I like the fire. I've always liked the fireplace. I don't have the central air on right now. Right here in this room, it's a little chilly. My feet are numb. There's two gaming PCs. Well, three, but one's turned off in this room. They keep it plenty warm.

Yeah. When I go to bed at night, I have to shut down or it'll make the room too hot. It really does put out a lot of heat. You still have it in your bedroom? Yeah. It's my bed. It's your sleep schedule. I just got to move this.

Oh, the sleep schedule is awful. Is it? Right before the show. No. Oh, the sleep schedule is awful. Is it? When did we come here? Right before the show. No. When I say awful, it's just today I woke up at 6 a.m., which

might sound great, but it's not. It's not. I've been up since 6 a.m., but I'm going to go. I don't know. I guess it's kind of It's not. I woke up. I've been up since 6 a.m. But I'm going to go. I don't know. I guess it's kind of normal right now. So I'll probably go to bed at 3 a.m., something like that.

Wait, that's too long of a day. It's a long day. You shouldn't be up from 6 a.m. to 3 a.m. That's 21 hours. I'm not tired, though. I get kind of wired for a.m. to 3 a.m. That's 21 hours. It's too long to be awake. I'm not tired, though. I get kind of wired for this. You just yawned.

You yawned 30 seconds ago. You're like, oh, I'm tired. It is hard. You guys have trouble falling asleep after that. I know we all have different sleep schedules, but Woody and I are more like this is our nighttime. And it is hard to go to sleep after this. I do something. i always do something even if like it's kind of bedtime at midnight 1 a.m for me um i always do something after this like i'll

watch some youtube or read a book or yeah i have to at least watch a couple episodes of a tv show to try and like decomp not decompress because this isn't fucking stressful or anything, but it's like you're trying to be on and then you're like sitting on your couch and you like see something funny on a show and it's like, wouldn't it be funny if it was oh wait, hold on. Never mind. Yeah, like you said

you're just fully engaged, fully awake you're on and often times it doesn't, I mean I think, it helps me stay alert on the show like a coffee at the beginning but it doesn't help me go to sleep afterwards yeah i never drink caffeine before this i'll be up all night yeah i always do i always drink uh two or three cups of coffee before we get started two or three cups of coffee in addition to caffeine all day yeah yeah i have a lot of caffeine i like it i like to stay uh focused yeah energized energized lively you're live wire

uh yeah we can't care oh yeah i know taylor's got fit yeah we we can uh we can wrap it up here i think taylor's got some family over at his house and he wants to be able to spend a little bit of time with before he goes to bed. Brother's in the living room. So I'd love to go. Is he your youngest or your middle brother? My youngest brother. Youngest brother. Yep.

How's he doing by the way? He's doing well. Yeah. He, you know, that, that really 2020 was rough year, man.

Like going through, like it was 2020. Yeah. It was early 2020 right after the, it was like April or something. Uh, when he had that brain bleed injury where like he couldn't even communicate that was that was one of the worst evenings of my life that was fucking horrible thinking i might lose my youngest brother that was awful but thank god that didn't happen does he have any lingering effects i don't know if this is too much to ask no no no no uh not not that he's mentioned or that

i'm aware you know he's he's pretty guarded against it because they told him like beware this that and the other thing but he i guess he's mostly out of like the window of when they expected something you should you should you should mess with him a little bit then you should if you think if he's out of the window you should start calling him paul and uh and get everyone to call him Richard. Yes. Everybody uses a different name. You need to coordinate with someone else in the room about a memory that didn't really happen. Right?

Like you do. Oh, right. Yeah. That red tricycle you had, that thing was the bomb. I don't know why mom put the girly streamers on and the little clown horn on the handlebars,

but you were on that thing every day. You loved it. If he says he's hungry, I'd be like, you just ate dinner. Yes. Are you writing down ideas, Taylor? No, no, no. I thought you were like,

red tricycle, this is gold. We're going to go with this. He was like, because it was so scary to see what pressure on different parts of your brain can do. Because like you could tell that he was there with his eyes when I was like talking to him in his hospital room. Like, how are you doing, buddy? Like, how are you feeling?

And he'd just be like, I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. But like that was like a tick. Like he couldn't say anything, but I'm fine. And like I was sitting there with him being like, we're messing around, like writing stuff down. Like spell Chicago. Chicago.

And he got it so wrong at first it was not even close and then he just kept writing shigako over and over that looks right to me yeah he wrote shigako that was the closest he got but he couldn't say take a look at woody he would just go like woody would you spell chicago for us no i wouldn't can you imagine actually like your your loved ones someone can you imagine actually like you're your loved ones and when you care about very much you're trying to talk with them and like they they like i'll say like chicago like spell chicago and they write that and you say do you know that doesn't spell chicago right and he's like i'm fine i'm fine and then he'd get mad at himself like

taylor i'm fine I'm fine like that's all he could say it was really disconcerted that was awful yeah I remember that was terrible but anyway I'm gonna go hang out with him so yeah PKA oh yeah no outros
