Painkiller Already - PKN #123

Episode Date: December 30, 2016

It's PKN time baby!

That's the right mic. That's the right mic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the right mic. That's the right mic. I like it. Woo! All right.

Fingers crossed. So, Kyle, you were talking about how cool you were sitting back in your new chair. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. So as soon as I sat down to record like 10 minutes ago, a loud snapping, breaking noise emanated from the center of my chair. Just pow, this noise. And I immediately lost all control of how it leans back and

forth and so to sit in it at all like leans it all the way back and i fear that at any moment it's going to like snap completely in two and i'm gonna go flying into the floor uh and just be laying out and uh so that may happen in any second at which point i'll i'll hunt a chair have you ever fiddled around with the controls on your chair, as stupid as that sounds? No, I never have. Because I've done the same thing in offices before, where I'm in a boardroom, and I sit down in one of those chairs,

and at first it has the stiff back, and then you get a little too comfortable leaning back, and you give it a little push, and then it almost snaps, and a wall breaks, and suddenly you're leaning almost like that, like it's a lazy boy. That's what it is. All you have to do, sit back up, and there's a second knob on the back of your chair that you'll either pull up or push down you'll snap it right back into place so i'm not a hundred percent sure you're not lying to me

and so i'm not sure that'll work unless you have a goofy chair that could be it too i'm not gonna fuck with this chair doing this during the show this may be a great excuse to get myself a real fancy brand new chair because I've been considering that but it just seemed pointless since I've got this one. I don't know. This is like a $180 chair probably but they make real fancy cool chairs. I might get one of those. You don't need an awesome chair for your VR.

Like you're up and about. I could get one of those. I could play some I want to talk about the VR. I could play some my other games that I play here, but my VR thing broke. This part broke. I can't even see what that is.

So this is one of the base stations. Inside of here is a laser that spins really fast, and it scans the position of my controllers and my headset so that it 3D locates me in space. And one of them quit working after I firmware updated it yesterday. And I read, I guess it's a common problem and it's going to be a, it's going to be a couple of weeks, I think, before I can get a new one. Is it, are they just going to replace it for you? Is it like a send it back and they send you one? I'm going to try to do that. It is under warranty and everything. Or I might just buy a new one.

So I've got an extra because they've got like a two week process you gotta go through and a new one's like $130 but it was a real shame I was like alright I went ahead and I put my new graphics card in I went through the process of re-overclocking my CPU then I overclocked my GPU and then I started updating all my firmware

on my stuff and I was like alright time to take this to the next level. And it's like, fucking internal error fault number three, contact customer support. God damn it. And then I was like, fuck this. I'll buy one and fucking overnight that shit here.

Back order two weeks on every website. So real shame. I downloaded Battlefield 1 to see what my 1080 could get out of that. So, real shame. I downloaded Battlefield 1 to see what my 1080 could get out of that. So we'll see. But the 1080, I didn't realize how big it was. It's this

fucking big. Like, the 980 is a really big graphics card. The 1080 is like 13 and a half inches long or something like that. That thing was massive. What does that mean for a computer? Just that you have to have more stuff cooling it down? That's part of it, sure, yeah.

To me, it means you have to have the right case. If you really packed it in there for a 980, then the 1080 wouldn't fit. Yeah, this has got where the hard drive trays is, there's plenty of room. It probably could have fit a 16-inch thing in there. But anyway, that's what's going on with that.

It kind of sucks. But I bet Battlefield 1 looks really good. Yeah. I downloaded it last night. I'm going to find out here in a little bit. I've been cooking all day. Oh, you haven't tried it yet? Yeah, I've been getting your texts about you made a splay today.

You made a sour cream chocolate bunt cake. I did. Was there something else? I think there was a chocolate Oh, yeah, yeah, tomorrow's the rum raisin bread pudding when you wrote that I was like I think I'd like to date Kyle. I think we'd make we'd make good boyfriends. You'd be a fatty Yeah, yeah, my girlfriend gets up every morning. She's at the gym for like 30 Jackie's making brownies right now. She's not a bad second place.

I could resist all of those treats so easily, but the second you busted out your fry-a-later or whatever it was, it would just be a cholesterol travesty. Yeah, I got a deep fryer. I got like a big basket deep fryer. Not quite what you'd have at McDonald's or anything, but enough to do like a pound at a time. So every now and then I get in a deep frying thing

where we start deep frying Twinkies and candy bars and shit. That's pretty delicious. Do you ever, when Kitty's out of town, switch over to peanut oil? Totally. Not just peanut oil, but peanut everything. If Kitty's out of town, we get the Reese's in here, get fucking peanut butter sandwiches. I make peanut butter and jelly pinch pies, which

is pretty much, you know, you take white bread and like a biscuit cutter thing, and you cut the center out of two pieces of white bread, put peanut butter and jelly in it, pinch the ends shut, and then you fry that shit. And it's so fucking good. Yeah, I do everything. Kitty's town, he's a real what's his name, George Carver?

He just starts inventing shit out of peanuts George Washington Carver you made a reference to the peanut butter guy from 160 years ago topical by your standard that's a good reference when you said George I'd never heard anybody say

George Carver and so I had a second I was like George Carver who the so I had a second, I was like, George Carver, who the fuck? That's what we called him in high school. George Carver, oh, okay. I got it. That's really funny. Yeah, don't blame me. Peanut, like that's part of what makes Chick-fil-A a step above other chicken sandwiches in the fast food realm.

It's because it's the peanut oil that they're frying it in. It's just, it's a little bit lighter. It doesn't, it's not as heavy tasting. And there's a flavor to it. It adds not as heavy tasting. There's a flavor to it. It adds flavor to it where vegetable oil really doesn't. The vegetable oil will take the flavor of foods. So if you've cooked fish in vegetable oil and then you make fries or chicken in it, it'll have a fishy taste to it. It's disgusting.

Whereas peanut oil adds its own delicious, savory, peanutty flavor. Not peanutty at all, really. It's just a delicious flavor that it all, really. It's just a delicious flavor that it adds to things. It's just a pleasant flavor to add. That's what, for Thanksgiving, we fry our turkey in. Yeah, I do too. I did it with vegetable oil this year, and

I didn't like it. It was not as good. I was like, eh, I don't really like this turkey at all. This was a mistake. Next year, we'll just send Kitty away. They really expanded my horizons. All the kinds of oil you can get. It was really Melissa.

Because until college, I was like, just olive oil. I'm an olive oil guy. No. Coconut oil is great. So easy to taste. Coconut oil works as sex lube. It does.

It's good if you've got chapped lips. Dude, we have a thing like it's huge. Does it have a Hawaiian look to the cover? No, it looks a little industrial. Like a green palm leaf or something.

Industrial. It's just black letters, Acme Coconut Oil. That's like a Wile E. Coyote delivers it. That's true. Yeah, no, we started seeing the, you know, that's how well coconut oil works as a sex lube, and it's expensive, though. And I was reading, I, like, Googled it online. Like, you know, are there people doing this?

Like, what's the scoop? And they're like, well, yeah, it's cheaper if you buy it here. And there's an Amazon referral link. And sure enough, for, like, $15 or something, you can buy a barrel of lube. And I'm like, all right, it's a win. You're not necessarily looking for the coconut oil with all the antioxidants and all the good omega fats. No, you're just looking for is this gotten from coconuts and is there a barrel of it? Yeah, I use coconut a good bit.

Not so much for sex lube unless i'm just out but um but but definitely for cooking and uh and like sauteing and certain kinds of desserts if you're if you're doing something that's already coconutty it's it definitely makes sense to add the coconut oil and it's good for other things yeah jackie cooks with a higher quality coconut oil than she fucks with i guess i don't have it yes that's the correct priority i go the other way and we get the good stuff out of the little jar i don't want to reach into that big tub and get a handful of that i don't know yeah what's cool about it is is that it's solid at like 70 degrees fahrenheit or something like that i'm guessing 75 maybe so it's just solid in there and you can sort of scrape up

what you need and rub it between your hands and and it just melts right in, and you've got the perfect amount. Have you ever had it, though, where you have a giant tub of it, and you want to get some out, and you don't realize that it's gotten pretty hot, and it's in the summer, and you open it, and it's just a jar of liquid? Yeah, sure. I don't mind that. Just fluid, coconut oil? There's a problem with buying things in bulk, and it's that you don't conserve at all when it seems like you have a limitless supply. When I'm nearly out of peanut butter, I can get two sandwiches just by scraping the edges, right? But when I have a lot of peanut butter, oh, well, fuck, you know? Just bring in the big spoon and slather that stuff out.

Oh, who cares? There's a little bit of peanut butter left in there. I'm the god of peanut butter. There's so much more in this container. You know what? I'll just throw this spoon away. Exactly. And then, you know...

I have so many. Not until the end when it becomes precious do you start using a more moderate amount of these things. Yeah, we have things in bulk that, yeah, we're just like fucking handfuls at a time. Ammunition is like that. Ammunition is definitely like that. But I got good... I got too good at it at some point.

I got this like mental switch that I flipped that's always whenever I look at any bullet, it's like, oh, well, I have a plan for that bullet. I really do. And that sounds like some sort of serial killer shit now that I think about it. But it's not like that. It'll be like I'll look at – like I've got a box over here i think yeah that's ppsh41 ammo and i i know what i'm saving that for i'm saving that for like a takarev video but there's there's like a big box of tracer 22 and i would love nothing more than to put that 22 tracer in my silenced ar 15 22 and just go plink with it but i'm saving that for a 22 machine gun at some point because it's gonna

look badass going fully automatic i and i just keep doing that it, but I'm saving that for a.22 machine gun at some point, because it's going to look badass going fully automatic. And I can just keep doing that. I think it's probably a little easier with ammunition, because you know, I mean, for you, it's probably not difficult at all to get more of these specialty ammos. I don't know. But it is probably expensive, you know? It's like, you know, I don't want to shell out three bucks a

shot for this. I do what he was saying at Costco with diet sodas, where, you know know you load up at costco and you get they sell them in 30 packs they sell diet at cost they sell diet pepsi at costco in a 42 pack i'd shit you not i got one once it is so yeah it's like a 30 pack of beer but it's got two extra things on the end two extra like stacks of six or whatever it would be or nine it must have been no 48 pack 48 not 42 because that makes sense because two extra rows of nine but oh man costco it's so easy to go in there like all right i need this thing and i

need this thing and i need this thing and this thing and this thing you have like a list of 10 and you get in and you fill your entire monster cart with items one and two and your rationale is well i won't need you know soda until late march you know and so then i'll just i'll just bring this back and you know it's about the same but then it's always a surprise you know you pick up that last soda and you think i'm always good you know i'm prepared there's another stack in the corner and then nope 48 packs gone and you feel kind of bad about yourself because you drank 48 diet sodas. I don't feel bad at all.

I drink so much goddamn soda. That's probably pretty close to what I do. When we buy soda, we get 48 at a time, but I guess we're buying them in 12 packs. I should go to Costco. I probably would save a bundle, right? Because every morning when I get up and take my shower and come back to my bedroom, it's like, all right, let's get these cans out of here because if you if you don't clean the cans off of the nightstand two days of that and i'm some sort of homeless hoarder like it only

takes two days before the whole nightstand is covered with cans i don't start to feel like a real loser when you oh sorry what do you got i don't drink a lot of soda but just over like this last week jackie's been buying boutique sodas. She comes home and she's like, yeah, do you want black cherry in a bottle? Can I borrow it? I have a multi-tool on me. Can I borrow the bottle opener to get the soda out? I had prickly pear soda, some key lime, lime soda.

Key lime pie, yeah. Yeah, a bunch of different spices. Some of them Yeah. Yeah. A bunch of different like specials. Some of them were bad. S'mores was just irredeemable. Yeah. Peanut butter and jelly soda. Bacon soda. Terrible, terrible.

I don't remember all the flavors. But yeah, we had a bunch of them. But I like the sort of the standards. I don't know why like. Cream soda. Cream. You know, black cherry soda. I like root beer a lot.

But all of the – there's like malted ones and caramelly ones. Yeah, I like that stuff too. If it comes in a bottle. Orange. I like the old orange and grape drinks. It's probably good. Orange Crush. Yeah, Orange Crush is a little mainstream.

But sometimes there will be like a – what is it? Not vanilla orange, but like orange – Oh, Cream a um what is it like the not vanilla orange but like orange oh creamsicle creamsicle yeah yeah yeah if it's like a creamsicle soda like that that's kind of cool yeah i like those so that's yeah i don't know i usually don't drink much soda but i've had a couple lately no i'm on the same page i drink an obscene amount like i'm like kyle where if i come back in the next day and i don't take care of the diet dr pepper can situation it's just you know two days stack up and there's not any real estate on the coffee table are they often unfinished well almost always finished because

so okay so i um i have this thing where i want the soda to be very cold like the colder it is the better if there's a little ice crystal if there's some ice crystals in there, it's the best. Because in my, in my, the science that I do in my head is that, is that the water has turned into water crystals, but that has left more sugar

in the syrup, you know, distribution. So it's a sweeter beverage, sweeter and colder beverage. Concentrate. Concentrate it a bit. Yeah, yeah, I think, maybe. I don't know. But so once it turns like room temperature

or even just sort of cool, I give up on it. Now, it just depends how thirsty I am if I get through it or not, though. So in the morning, I'll open a window and have to dump out like eight of them or something like that. Oh, you're wastrel.

It's become a whole thing. And so the ants down below my window, like look up to me like I'm the main bad guy in Mad Max. Like bring the sugar water. And I'm just like dug, dug, dug, dug, dug, dug, dug. And they're all down there filling their little ant pots up and running back home with it. I got a whole ecosystem supported now.

How much of your soda consumption is diet versus regular because i really the only time i have regular soda is when i like get the specialty creams and those diet i would say that one fourth of my soda is regular soda uh if i if i spend an entire evening drinking nothing but regular soda i i i feel a little bad like i was just too much sugar intake. It's too much goo, too much corn syrup fucking flowing through your blood. I feel thick on the inside, like not in a fat way, but like my blood has gotten sick. Sluggish. I feel a little syrupy, like a little syrupy on the inside.

I feel like if I were to start working out, I'd start smelling like pancakes or something. Like molasses dripping down your forehead. Like the movie Michael, right? You smell like cookies. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, that's a good reference.

I like that movie. What did he say? Battle! Yeah. So yeah, I try not to drink regular soda for the whole night. I mix it up. But I usually try to drink a sugary soda with my meal if I can. If I can bring a Dr. Pepper

or a Sprite into that scenario, I'm always a fan of that. You know what they need? You know how they have people at restaurants who will come up and say, hey, this, our special salmon, it's going to go great with this white wine if you want to try a glass of that. They need something where they offer the wine and that same person goes,

oh, not having any alcohol this evening? Well, this would go great with our glass of that they need something where they offer the wine and that same person goes you know oh not having any alcohol this evening well this would go great with our you know classic root beer brewed in fucking wisconsin and our cream soda from kansas city you know or but like just like specialty sodas that would be really neat i would like that that would be a cool thing to add restaurant owners listen spend a ton of money on specialty sodas on the off chance that people will spend lots of money for them. You could make your own soda fountain. You could. You know what they call

the guy who operated the soda fountain? A jerk. Soda jerk, that's right, yeah. Yep, a soda jerk. What a time to be alive where people were like, hey, let's go out, let's go to the soda fountain and just drink soda. Yeah, this cool new hit beverage.

It's called Pepsi. For the young kids. Have you watched all of those, like the history ofs of all the sodas? I have not. They all started off as like medicinal health tonics and stuff like that. And their creators oftentimes were like these quacks who had been selling snake oil previously and kept getting cracked down because of their false claims and stuff like that um that's like almost the case

in every soda's history was they were just like a little cola nut a little cocaine lots of sugar coca-cola and that was it like you know it was just like yeah and and the like pepsi cola had pepsid in it because so it's like a digestive um aid that was that's what pepsi cola was the whole thing is funny uh dr peppers had cocaine and i looked i thought that might have been a myth so i looked it up and it did have cocaine in it There's this awesome video Obsessives And it's Obsessives Soda Pop I just found it

But it's 13 minutes long It's a little long for the show I wanted to talk about terror Terror? Oh are we off sodas? Is that southern for terror? That is southern for terror We had so much terror Oh, are we off sodas? Is that Southern for Terror? That is Southern for Terror.

Terror. All right. We had so much terror. Did you see the Russian ambassador get gunned down? You say it like that. It's so fucking funny. We have so much terror in the world. Yeah, too much terror.

George W. did it for years. Terror. I know. All right. But yeah, we have had some terror. Yeah, there was a Russian ambassador to Turkey, I think, was shot. Yeah, he was assassinated. Did you see him get shot? Yeah, that's creepy.

Because you see exactly what happens when somebody... I don't think... Go ahead. So maybe we should... Let me find the video. It's very quick. You see the moment he dies. Dude, I've talked about this a half dozen times there's one sniper video in particular takes place in iraq the guy

gets shot in the head and something about the way he crumbles straight down was so impacting to me you know every so often there's like a you see plenty of death on the internet, right? And you're all immune to it. I know I am. Mostly. Sometimes it's just like, dude, I just watched life exit a guy. I don't know that I can define what life is, but I know it just stopped. Anyway, so let's watch.

It is unsettling to see that stuff. I think we should start at around 10 seconds. I just briefly scanned around. There's some bullshit intro that plays early in the video. But I think... Let's go to about 10 seconds. And there's some helicopter footage.

I don't know why that's there, but it's something about... Oh, I think they're like... I don't know why that's there. But I'm at 10. I'm almost ready. Go to like 9 seconds, because it starts immediately as soon as you click at 10 i'm almost ready go to like nine seconds because it starts immediately as soon as you click at 10 seconds you might miss it okay all right ready set play

oh Oh. So the guy immediately in the video falls down. Oh, shit. He's screaming behind him, saying, Allahu Akbar, and, you know, remember Syria, or whatever he's saying. Remember Aleppo, remember Syria. Yeah. Only death will take me from this place.

And then he died. I'm going to watch it again. He looked more frightened than in pain he just looked shocked and died yeah he's like if you look at where that kind of goes i don't know you're gonna see where the exit wound is and it's right about where his heart is you see his jacket kind of poof out right here like right in front of his heart um i think that they uh i think that he got shot in the head right away i mean in the heart right away yeah he was dead right away man that's so fucked up am i using the right mic here yes yeah you're using the right

mic okay man it is unsettling to see people die even though you're getting used to it now being on the internet and i guess people have always watched people die like we haven't been in Wars not nearly as you know we've seen people get beheaded on YouTube or these have executions red leak live leak whatever it is like that it's kind of fucked yeah it's just seeing that guy and no I always I can't get the thought out of my head when I see stuff like that of just imagining him like his last meal or like the last time he brushed his teeth or the last time he did something that was very benign and normal like last time he took a piss you know the last time he checked his phone it's like that's you don't think in the moment like this

is the last time i'm gonna do this this is the last time food's gonna pass my lips this is the last time i'm gonna see that person like it that's creepy what's um what always impacts me is when i see a shot of what causes the death before the death like the best example i have is there was this guy he was riding his bike and uh it was a big ramp like like kind of a no it's a ramp really he went down what would i call like a half pipe but it was kind of j-shaped he was going to jump the great wall of china and uh there's a shot of him mid-flight and he doesn't seem to know yet that it's not going well so here he is thinking like oh boy and i'm like that's like he's kind of dead in a schroedner's cat way like like i like yeah you know he's as good as dead he's kind of dead in a Schroedner's cat way. He's as good as dead. He's as good as dead.

Perfect. Yeah, he is as good as dead. And he's mid-flight. And when he lands, death will just come right on the spot. And just so you know, hang on a minute. Think about this every day now going forward. We're all that guy up in the air just waiting to fall to our deaths we're all just as good as dead think about that for every day forward thanks kyle we're just on the edge of our ramp thinking we're gonna make it you know and then then everybody else is gonna be watching oh that guy really fucked it up

no the truth is we're all in in midair and nobody lands on the fucking ramp that's the truth yeah put that on a bumper sticker this guy too like he's there at the podium he's talking even it's weird to me because he gets shot a couple times and his reaction is like like oops, I'm scared. This is frightening. In the same way that a lot of people might. He's startled. Well, see, that in no way changes his consciousness or him being alive in that short of a time because his brain is still doing just great unless his spinal cord is severed somewhere like up here.

You could lop his head off, and I think he'd be like, ah! He was responding to the noise of the shot i think like he was jumping from the noise and then just immediately died like he didn't have the cognitive ability to even realize he was dying like it was just one minute all right i gotta remember point number one and two for when i talk about turkey putin's been a real dick dead Dead. In the footage I saw on CNN, the shooter lurks behind him for a long period of time, like many seconds, maybe 20, 30 seconds. He's

standing there like he's a security guard and he is a police officer of some kind there in Turkey. But he's just standing there and then he just fucking draws and kills the guy. He was smart to dress well. I didn't realize he was the murderer even after he's shouting ala akbar because he was dressed in his suit like this

guy's you know it was odd to me that he wasn't more frightened usually after an assassination or assassination attempt the people who were like security there are i don't know they're on edge they're tense they're looking around calling guns. He was the security. He was bad at it. Yeah, he didn't keep anyone safe. What a great job for an assassin. He's like, oh, how am I going to get into the building? Well, I work there.

Oh, how am I going to get past security? I am security. Oh, man, what am I going to do? I don't think he was security. I don't think he's supposed to be working there. I don't think he's on the clock. He went in there to assassinate that guy, I think, and posed as some sort of security guard.

But when I saw him in the suit and tie, I agreed. I was like, this is sort of a James Bond effect. If a guy is walking around in a tuxedo, you're not going to hassle him or give him a hard time. If you had one of those scarves on something like you know those are things that would make me think bad at the revolving door if he tried to come yeah yeah whoa whoa whoa are you wearing a shemagh are you fucking kidding me bro but he had the clipboard effect right like i feel like i could take a clipboard and a hard hat and get anywhere in the world you know oh i saw something about

this where they were like there's some video on youtube like one of those like prank videos that's actually a prank where nobody's hurt and at the end it's like hey that was pretty good where this guy just walked into places he wasn't allowed holding a ladder and if you hold a ladder everybody assumes you are going to help with the task and you've been called you've been you're the ladder man you've been summoned and so none of the people like the bouncers at bars, the people waiting at really expensive restaurants, the ladder person just walks right in, and they look at him like,

well, a guy wouldn't just have a ladder unless he had something to eat. That's great. And it's true. If I saw somebody walking around with a ladder, I would think they've got shit to do. You have to be old enough, though. If you're 16 with a ladder, you're still fucked. Do you remember?

Except Taylor with a full beard. When the Tra. Do you remember? When the trailer park boys opened their whorehouse and the old abandoned trailers, they needed some furniture, some beds, some desks, some chairs. They had to furnish this whole whorehouse out. They would just walk into businesses and tell them that

they were there to move the old furniture out and the people are getting all new shit that's what ricky's saying he's he's like you guys are getting all new shit no no it's that's on the way there it's coming in right after we get out of here and and just walking these people's offices and waiting rooms like they're doing business on taking their phones off their desks no no you're getting a whole new system mitch a mitch up top the guy's like you talk to Mitch? He's like, yeah, I talk to fucking Mitch. He's like, well, okay

then. He's like, hey, get the other end of this chair. And the guy's like helping him steal his own desk. Dude, you could totally do... That seems almost believable if you went into a big enough company where you're on the underling lair and the worst that's going to happen is this doesn't seem right. I'm sending Susan

an email. It's time to get back to you. Sorry, your desk's gone you're all sitting on the floor blogging or whatever so when i was 15 i worked at mcdonald's for like eight hours and uh for a couple weeks or whatever it was but but i had the uniform afterwards the the the shirt and the hat and i always thought like so much potential could i put this hat and this shirt back on and walk right into any mcdonald's in the country and just make myself up a burger and fries and just walk the fuck right out i guarantee i could if anyone said anything i would be like i just got hired today who hired you mitch there would yeah there'd be one person there probably who would have an interest in like get this guy out of there. But do you think guy taking orders

cares that you're making a McFlurry in the back? No, and the turnover rate is so big at a McDonald's that these guys are seeing new faces every single day that they don't know. Like, at least once a week, they're seeing, oh, there's a guy here I've never seen before, and then he'll leave the next week. So much turnover?

Yeah, you could totally do that. Yep, you get a new employee, they go back to jail. They get out of jail, they come back to work, and then they go back to jail they get out of jail they come back to work and then they go back to jail and you just have a intermittent every few years employee they had a uh did i talk about the the officer shooting that we had here um on the show i don't think you did yeah i guess there was a guy was it this week um it was last week uh there's two of our police officers were shot here uh like in my little hometown how local like literally the town yeah like yeah yeah like like um yeah my town in livonia uh um and what happened was this guy was i think he was a criminal fleeing uh he was on probation for maybe assault or

maybe even murder or something like that but anyway he got pulled over and i would imagine maybe he wasn't even supposed to be in Georgia because he was from Greenville, South Carolina. And he pulled out a Glock 40 and started blasting at two of our cops and shot both of them. One of them got shot in the hand. I think he'd only been on the job for three months. And then a guy I actually know got shot. I think maybe he got shot twice, but i know he got shot through the lung and he

lost three ribs and uh maybe broke his collarbone also is that a 40 cal clock yeah are they both gonna make it yes yeah they're both fine and uh they caught the guy and uh i guess he just he got beaten up of course but they didn't kill him what was he doing so what was he out for he was wanted somewhere i don't remember the i don't know that part for sure but it seemed like he was he out for? He was wanted somewhere? I don't know that part for sure, but it seemed like he was out on probation. Maybe on a bond for an upcoming hearing or something like that. I don't remember the exact nature of it, but he was up to no good.

He'd already committed some other crime, and he wasn't supposed to be where he was. When he got pulled over, he was going to have to give him his ID, and they were going to run it, and it was going to bounce back. Oh, he wasn't supposed to be where he was and when he got pulled over he was gonna have to give him his id and they were gonna run it and it was gonna bounce back oh he shouldn't be here he maybe was like on bail or something like yeah something like that and of course he shouldn't have the gun as well so you know just totally up to no good it's a big no-no yeah what was the guy like like how old was he was he young black guy yeah was he already out of prison or i guess so i think probation there i think that the case was that i should look it up i don't know why i'm Young black guy. Was he already out of prison? I guess so. He was on probation.

I think that the case was that... I should look it up. I don't know why I'm guessing. But I thought the case was that he had charges on him that were... He was about to go to court to find out if he was on. That sucks. Now, you said the police... Were they killed? No, they're going to be okay.

They're going to make it. I swear I almost worry more the other direction. Oh shit, there's raw body cam footage of this? Link it up. In Raleigh, every so often a cop shoots, usually a black guy, and it's like, oh my god like how strongly are you going to react to this our mayor crushes it like when um it happened twice and the mayor instantly is like all right let's talk oh my god this is all right i have not seen this this is this is that whenever i talk

about zaxby's and all the fucking chicken i eat this is the zaxby's i go to this is it and all the fucking chicken I eat, this is the Zaxby's I go to. This is it. Huh. All right. It's still trying to load for me. Me too.

Have you had that lately where like... I have with YouTube, yeah. Yeah, me as well. That's... Can you... What time are you going to want to start at, Kyle? Zero. Because it kicks right off into like the... Okay.

Oh, we just... Not in St. Louis, but in Columbia. We just got a Zaxby's there. So next time I'm in Como, I'll give it a shot, see if it's as good as Church's. Yeah, it's better than Church's. They don't have the sides, though. I'm ready. Me too.

I am ready. Good to go. Ready, set, play. Did I hit it? I did. India, S-213, you clear for traffic? His hand's out of his pocket. Did I hit it? I did. Cops are still chill. No disqualification. Identification only. Negative 29. Running that by VN. Returned 2001.

Yeah, if you just saw this part of the scene. Well, never mind. Yeah, I didn't see the shooting. Me neither. Dude, it happened so fast. It was like the second the cop turned to the left a little bit fuck you can see blood on the concrete yeah he's up though the young cop is waving the more wounded cop back to the car. He shot in the hand.

You can see the young cop's bloody hand there trying to open up the door for the older cop. Yeah. Oh, good job on this guy. Yeah, it looks like... Yeah, he's getting his buddy in the car and taking him to the hospital. The hospital's a thousand yards away. It looks like the other guy's already gone. Like, the shooter is gone.

Like, he sprinted away. I would guess so, because they're not engaged in anything now yeah like as it was about as it was right as it went down i was saying if you just saw this clip of it it looks like three people not getting in a tussle it looks like the beginnings of a good resolution with cops and then nope wow it really helps you understand some of the shit cops deal with and why they're so on edge and so like it's it's so much harder of a job I imagine that anyone gives them credit for like just

Taylor I know Kyle see did you see the one where the he was a city leaguer city leader I think from Ferguson. He was often marching with the Black Lives Matter people. And the police invited him to come do a scenario training thing. Do you remember that video? Oh, yeah. And then he ended up saying, yeah, it turns out that it is really difficult.

You very quickly are in a fight or flight response. And when your job is not to flee, you're kind of relegated to one option it's much easier to pull that trigger than he anticipated yeah it's so easy for someone to just act chill and then quickly shoot or someone to like be in a fight and then not have a gun at all all the sudden you shot an unarmed man who was being aggressive towards a cop it This was a pretty good example. That, the, what do I call him, the perp? The young black guy who shot the cops.

He seemed really chill. He was kind of relaxed. He asked to take his hands out of his pocket. He sort of showed him a pocket or two. Like, it was, he was half complying. You know, obviously he was being sneaky about it. He was half complying. Obviously he was being sneaky about it,

but he was only a step away from being actually compliant, and he was fooling them, and he did it. If he took his hands out of his pockets, he would have been complying, but I guess that's where he had the gun, is one of those coat pockets. But he did take it out temporarily, right? He's like, hey, can you take your hands out of your pockets? Oh, maybe he just took one out. He didn't take his right hand out of his pocket. He took the left one out and then put it out temporarily, right? He's like, hey, can you take your hands out of your pockets? Oh, maybe he just took one out. He didn't take his right hand out of his pocket. He took the left one out and then put it back in.

And then immediately the cop, the camera goes from towards the young black guy, like pans to the right. And as soon as like the little, the guy's out of frame, the perp, the whole camera goes haywire and the shooting occurs. Like it's so quick i don't even hear the second shot i i'm yeah and you're one shot and um i'm sure taylor's right but in my head you know it's like in my foggy memory i thought he pulled both hands out and put them back in as if like hey can you take your hands out of your pocket oh i assumed you meant temporarily you know my bad. He may have done that real quick,

but I know that at the time where the officer turned away from him, his hands were in his pockets. And so obviously the gun was there. Well, at least they caught this piece of shit. Hopefully he goes to jail for the rest of his life. Yeah, I was told, quote, he carried that ass whooping. What? He carried that ass whooping. Taylor? He carried that ass whooping.

Taylor's right. He only took his left hand out of his pocket. Oh, wait. No, he took both hands out, I think. At the time the shooting happens, they're back in. Oh, yeah, yeah. He went back in to retrieve it, but he pulled like a napkin or something, like a handkerchief out of his pocket.

It was like a brown handkerchief. He's like, here, this is what was in it. Maybe a hat, maybe one of those silly hats. Anyway, I just tried to watch a bunch of times there. I see smoke from the gun, but I can't really make heads or tails of what he did. I know he shoots with his right hand, but I can't tell who he shoots first necessarily.

I can only hear one gunshot, really. What gets me is the shooter seemed kind of personable, compliant, and charismatic. Now, I might be reading too much into it, but it was kind of like, yeah, sure. He had a chill vibe about him. He wasn't... No, I do not read that body language as chill at all i rate his body language the whole time as just you know up to no good like being shitty he's he's got he's not you know back and relaxed with his hands in his hoodie like this like you would like oh yeah we're talking

he's hunched forward he's got his shoulders forward and a lot of it clearly trying to like uh hide the fact that if he were to stand up straight an object a gun would clearly bulge out of the front of the coat pocket like he's in a very turtlish hiding posture like that i don't i don't see that as chill at all i i mostly agree but i i feel like he also wasn't like his voice i guess was the chill part the rest of his body was a little tense um it seemed like he was hiding something. Of course, I've got hindsight even the first time watching it. But he definitely – Yeah, you're correct in the fact that if I were a cop there, I'd be like, this guy is probably hiding drugs or something because he's standing weird.

You wouldn't be thinking, okay, there's two cops right here. This is the time this guy would go and try and shoot us like it just which i guess is why that first officer turned his back to the guy which is right when he got shot i went back and re-watched it and it's as the guy turns away he falls to the ground which has to be when he got shot in the was he shot in the back kyle it shot in the ribs or something like that i know it took out through the back though it looked to me like in this in the side i didn't say in the back looks It looks like he got shot in the side. It's very good that neither of them died.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's real good. The guy that got shot was the one that, I don't know him very well, but I know his name, and we've talked to him a few times, seen him around at the gun store. That sucks.

And it just, that was crazy. There wasn't a build-up know there wasn't a there wasn't a build-up there wasn't a confrontation no warning at all he's just like draw and start shooting they didn't shoot back as far as i know right like they know well again the other guy shot in the right hand so he's trying to draw over and it's you know it's a retention holster yeah um and and then his partner is on the ground he's you know i can't move he's radioing for help so I don't know you know yeah for people that don't know

a policeman's holster you can't just pull the gun out of it you have to like press a button on the side and pull the gun out of it which they train so they can do it kind of in one motion but to reach across the other side and get it out would be pretty tricky don't you have to like push the button down and get it out would be pretty tricky. Don't you have to push the button down and then push it and pull it?

I'm sure there's different. There may be a holster that's like that, but no. In a Serpa? I should have told what's-his-name. Remember that dude who tried to assassinate Trump, the British guy, and just ran up to the guy with the cop and tried to grab his gun out of there? He thought he was going to walk up in a Westworld scenario and just ran up to the guy with the cop and tried to grab his gun out of there like he thought he was going to walk up in a Westworld scenario and just

take it. The cop just whomps him on the head and then puts him in a cell for the rest of his life. Man, if you're going to be a criminal, you've got to not... You've got to have a lot of baskets to spread those eggs about, man. You can't put all of your criminality eggs in the assassinating Trump

basket at the age of 19 and your plan be stealing a gun from a cop a few pockets okay spread it around no need to go all in on a trump assassination it's a long shot trust me strong decision too like there's no way that he planned that out well and like like that seems like the decision he said he did though that was the that was the headline that he had planned this for months and i was like oh so he's a retarded person well we need to give him some leniency then if if this caper took him three months like if this is not oceans 11 right here okay like there's no there's no asian contortionist in a box at the end like like you're not fooling anybody just tugging a gun out of a cop's holster and then trying to... It's not like he's a marksman anyway, right?

He's probably never handled a gun before. He'd be like, where's the safety on this? All right, let me take careful aim now. It's never going to happen. I have a Trump-related question. So I saw that he got the 270 electors, and now he's officially the uh president i guess he's going to be president right he'll be the president officially on the 20th i think but for the last couple weeks months i've been hearing about this faithless electors

did any of them not vote the way that they were supposed to the new record for most faithless electors goes to hillary clinton four people in the state of washington defected or were not defected were faithless uh three of them voted for colin powell one of them voted for uh a native american lady who is uh like involved in that pipeline somehow i don't know spotted owl yeah spotted owl or like sharon spotted out i don't know what her name is yeah and then uh but she was written in and then then in, I think the last, the fifth person who defect, or was faithless for Hillary was in like Maine? Oh, there were seven? I thought there were five.

Seven. Seven electors backed off on their- Oh, the two for Trump. And did not want to vote for Clinton, but in like, maybe in several of those cases, the numbers aren't really important here, they were in states that had faithless elector laws So you know the guy who's in charge goes he's like oh you're in contempt here You want to change your mind, and then they're like Clinton and then in a couple cases I think they're just like all right well

You're fucking fired Jerry you want a job Jerry's like yep I vote Clinton and they just do that number um so and then of course in some states they're unbound completely so they're just like yeah i voted for spotted owl she's my vote you can't stop me did you uh sorry i think that was very normal it's not at all it's it's it's not at all it's and yeah too affected for trump i mean we have got to get rid of electors altogether like i all together and once I don't like the Electoral College I think it's terrible if forget the fact that the two of the last three Republican presidents didn't win the popular vote it's just bad I don't like I was I was trying to find out because

I'm still split on it because I really well I mean of course this election you would prefer popular but i mean here's the problem with popular is that like i was actually trying to watch videos and shit and figure out like okay well there must be a reason for this electoral college because you know why would they have it otherwise and it really does see i mean like hillary clinton won the popular vote the entirety of the margin by which he won the popular vote is California, by numbers, the entirety of it. And so the purpose of it is to make it so that we're not a popular democracy with the

tyranny of the majority rule. We're a group of republics of states, and it's not fair to allow, say, California and New York to dictate policy for the rest of the country, which would mean that politicians are giving huge amounts of money to those areas and screw Iowa, screw Missouri, screw the middle states who don't have as many people. It's just not efficient enough for them to give lots of attention to those areas unless there are points at stake to make them go to South Dakota. If you remove California from the equation, then Trump wins the popular vote in the remaining 49 states by 1.4 million votes. If you remove New York from the equation, he's ahead by like 7 million or something crazy like that.

Those two states cannot hold that much sway over the republic, over the United States of America. over the republic, over the United States of America. Obviously the electoral college system has some flaws, but man, I think we'd fall into a really flawed system if we went purely by popular vote. If you've got 100,000 people voting and 50,000 and one...

If you've got 100,000 people voting and it's split, then you end up with 50,001 wolves and 49,999 sheep. They get fucked. I just don't know if you want... You do. Here's why. It's a tyranny of the majority. That's what Thomas... Or was it Thomas Jefferson who described

that as a tyranny? I was paying. So the reason for the Electoral College was specifically in case someone voted for the wrong person. If the smart guys wanted to override the Democratic candidate... Real quick, that's not true. It was to give a representative voice to each of the colonies each of the states i don't know i feel like now i need

to check my source because wikipedia it was to ensure that the really populated areas like massachusetts and boston couldn't totally control you know rural alabama or whatever the fuck it was you know rural whatever like i i do know because we learned about that in civics and and listen rural Alabama or whatever the fuck it was, rural Virginia, whatever. I do know because we learned about that in civics. And listen, there is something to be said, obviously, about going to a more popular vote-centric system. You could easily find a happy median between the two where there's some mix of the two systems together. The reason for the constitutional calls for this extra layer

rather than providing for the direct election of the president is that most of the nation's founders were actually rather afraid of the democracy. James Madison worried what he called factions would define groups of citizens who have a common interest in the proposal would either violate the rights of other citizens or harm the nation as a whole. It's a good fear to have. Let me see. He was right. I don't know but yeah so what you were saying about the winner thing i do know that that's also a part of it where they can say like hey you elected

someone with a popular vote or the the electoral college with your voting that is we think like a tyrant and so no we can overrule it is that kind of where you what you were talking about because i know that let me read that the point of the electoral college is to preserve the sense of the people while at the same time ensuring that the president is chosen by men most capable of analyzing the qualities adapted to the station and acting under circumstances favorable to deliberation and to a judicious combination of all the reasons and inducements which were proper to govern their choice. Who wrote that bullshit? Old shit, right? Yeah, yeah. but these are quotes. These are like founding fathers quotes.

Yeah, yeah, oh yeah. And it sums up to, so we could override these dumb fucks who voted for the wrong person. That's what the electoral college is for. And you know, because I've had civics too. Yeah, that's part of, that's one of the roles. Like you can't relegate it to just one,

that its only purpose is one thing. Because another main purpose is the fact that people who were from less populated states... That is a retrofitted purpose, an argument for keeping it after the fact. You've got to look at the modern electoral college, too, though, because it's obviously been altered. You know, we have these faithless electors laws for a reason, right? You know, that really just take what you just said.

Like, I believe everything you just said, but it seems like the state since then, at some point, a lot of people got together and said, bullshit. You know, the electoral college will vote how the people vote. Yeah. I know that there was one clip in Pennsylvania and I didn't even know this. I didn't know that I thought that all the electors, you know,

kind of went the way they were supposed to, but I thought they all had the ability to switch. There was like a, I think it was Pennsylvaniasylvania they have 20 and it was a bunch of people like screaming at the electors like you traitors you traitors and they had to be like this is pennsylvania we literally can't change our vote we can't it has to go to trump we don't have the power to change and they're just getting screamed at by him it was very very ugly i i mean i think that trump should be president because those are the rules when the game was played right that's that's how it should be but i don't like the rules i i hear this no no one pay attention to wyoming or no one attention attention to miami or missouri or

miami i meant montana or missouri um then uh um like i i get that But I don't think that it's true. I think that they'll treat people as blocks. Like, for example, all those flyover states, they care about corn or farming or what have you. A lot of the states around the Great Lakes. Thank you. Thank you so much for, in that one sentence, drilling down exactly why it's a bad idea to let two states on the coast dictate life for the middle of the

country oh the flyover states they like corn just give them corn yeah they like it so that so things like ethanol would be a powerful voting block and you know that that matters right you could focus on things that are important to city life like i don't know water quality or something and and someone's gonna go boom there it is you nailed it you said oh i don't know city there's weren't the big issues this election though yeah well flint michigan and their water quality became a big issue and yeah and ethanol is a big issue in the primary season when iowa votes and and you know for example california gets completely ignored there are things like you know the internet or tech sector or such but california California and New York currently aren't even battleground states. So no one gives a fuck about them.

The two biggest population states in, I think they're the two largest. I don't know where Texas is. Yeah, the two largest. The two biggest, they get ignored. They definitely get the fuck about them. No one gives a fuck about them. They get ignored as far as the Democrats campaigning there. Because Republicans know they're not going to win California.

It's a lost cause. They don't ignore them. It's the same reason that, you know, Donald Trump wasn't campaigning there because Republicans know they're not going to win California. It's a lost cause. They don't ignore them. It's the same reason that Donald Trump wasn't campaigning in New York. He knew he couldn't win. It's the reason he went to Michigan and campaigned there. I have the solution to this problem. So there's – just a second, Kyle. Like thank you, Taylor, for making my argument for me, right?

Trump didn't go to California once. Trump completely ignored New York, right? Because there's an electoral college, the only states that matter are these like five battleground states. If it were based on population, then it would matter how well you did in Montana, not just which way Montana went. There would be a difference between winning Texas by 60% or by 51% if it was done by popular vote. And every state would matter. Every single vote. They would go to all 50 states they would go everywhere scratching and calling for every vote they could get that's how

it would work they would spend three hours in montana and a month and a half in new york california florida like it's like i know what you're saying that it sounds like it would be a really good idea but i just there's just there's more people in one borough of New York than there are in, like, all of Wyoming. Yeah, they're going to spend all their time in high population areas. But the solution is easier than you think. I think you can stick with the Electoral College.

The problem isn't the Electoral College. The problem is you've got one gigantic fucking state in California. You need to split it into three pieces. You need to fucking chop it into three fucking pieces and give them, you know, and give each of them their votes. And we can campaign for each of them. You need to fucking chop it into three fucking pieces and give them, you know, give each of them their votes. And we can campaign for each of them. It's too fucking big. It's too fucking big. New York's too big too.

Why don't you cut New York into two electoral voting blocks? Texas too? Why not? Texas could be five. Texas is so big it could be five. It could, but it would just like... And there's only one group of people to do the gerrymandering. I mean, draw up these districts, and that is the Republicans. We're great at it.

I'm not a Republican, but they're great at it. I see what's going on over there in North Carolina, Woody. Oh, my gosh. The exiting governor is tying things up nice for the next... What's he doing? Is he being a dick? He is making it so that it's it's so hard i can't remember the specific things but every step of the way he's making it hard for for for democrats to

undo the things he's done yeah so not exactly he's just removing their power like okay so it used to be the governor hired like 15 people 1500 people directly right they literally they were like sort of they work for the governor that number is down to like 200 um the school board uh they reported to the governor now all of a sudden they report to like the legislative branch he's just taking all these powers that were traditionally governor powers and making them the other you know and there was something else it was like there was like some committee that made decisions and previously that committee he had made it up of three Republicans and two Democrats. Like the governor's party would have the majority in all those things, right?

Yeah, yeah. It'd be a three to two at every single vote. And now he's like, you know what? Four and four. Let's make it equal and it's four and four. He just made the governorship a lot less powerful. So he got voted out, right? He put in H-1B.

The people hated his gut. Well, I'm exaggerating. Yeah, he lost so much money. It was very close. It was close, but he lost so much money. Yeah, but he lost. So now, after he's lost the election, this is a big, like, there's no parallel to this in North Carolina's history, but after he lost the election, he's passing and signing all these laws that will fuck over

the incoming governor as a way to make him powerless. That's nuts. You know what Obama could do then? He should say he's... So the state is actually pretty evenly divided amongst Republicans and Democrats, but the Republicans dominate

the number of Senate and House of Representatives seats because of the gerrymandering. The gerrymandering is racist as fuck. Like it went to the federal courts. It's not a North Carolina anything. They went to like the United States Supreme Court and they said that like they've been dealing with the black vote with surgical precision. It's the quote from like, I don't know, Scalia or whoever. Fuck.

It's not. Probably not the dead guy. It'll be like you've got a population center. Like, I don't know, Scalia or whoever. Fuck. It's not even surgical. It'll be like you've got a population center like, I don't know, I'm making it like Raleigh. Like the districts come in and cut it into a giant pie so that each of them has to share like one tiny bit of that black vote. Yeah, they specifically carved out black vote and like spread them around so they'd be less of a political force for when they vote and uh um it's like so basically they're gonna they have to fix the gerrymandering because it's been ruled unconstitutional like at the supreme court level and uh and they're gonna do another vote next year like as a real question like i don't know who should draw lines for for districts and stuff there's a great video computer and it sounds like kyle watches the same videos that i do um yeah there it a computer is a

good way to do it um but then it none of the solutions seem great uh when the republicans or the democrats do it obviously they do it to benefit republicans or democrats you can do it via computer and that creates all these these funky lines and sort of a... Oh, I just made that up. That just seemed like the best way. Is there a video that supports my little thought here? It supports that as the second best option. What's the best option? The best option is to hire the same weasel in the video I watched,

because they do the animals, who would gerrymander it unfairly and have him gerrymander it fairly. That was the video's conclusion. I personally like the computer more. Why not get the big Democrat gerrymanderer and the big Republican gerrymanderer and have them work together?

Because they're both going to be trying to steal and pull it over the other one. I have an answer for Kyle's question quick fair is when the number of elected representatives reflects the population that that's what i think we should be targeting so you know if through all the counties i'll make up a number like 63 vote republican then somewhere near 63 of the of the legislative body should be made up of Republicans. I see. So we need a grand census. As it is now, the voting population is about 50-50, and the legislative population is about 70-30.

Yeah. A lot of that also, it does have like, I think it probably comes down to old people, but I haven't actually looked into it. But I know that in midterm elections, Republicans show out in much higher numbers than Democrats do. And I don't know what the actual reason is, but it has to be old people, right? Because they have more time. They actually set a date on their calendar. They're like, oh, I could go out to do something that day. Nobody's going out to rock the vote for their alderman, right? I disagree. So I agree that I think it's old people, but the motivations are different to me.

And I think you guys have seen it through your old lives too. Don't you just care more about politics or find it more interesting than you did when you were 18? Yeah, than when I was 18, sure. Yeah, so I think you're just more inclined to show up for a midterm. Assuming it keeps going on this trajectory, at 65, politics will take over the blues for – You've also got to keep in mind old people don't have as much to do. And they also feel left behind by the world as a product of their condition, which we all have, which is we're floating in the air, ready to never make that landing.

You know, OK. And so if they see this moment every two to four years to grab a little power and show those whippersnappers what for, like, they're more than happy to do that. I remember, like, what was it? Was it maybe 2010? Was that when the Tea Party really swept in and took a lot of seats away from the Democrats? Sounds right-ish. From 2008 to 2010, Democrats had a majority in everything. Okay, then it was 2014.

2010 was when Republicans lost. No, no. 2010 is when the Republicans took back control of some stuff. Was that the Tea Party year? It was part of it, yeah. Okay, yeah. That's what I'm trying to remember back to. I just remember i was real plugged in at that time um because i knew some people who like knew some people who were part of the formation of the tea party and so they were

super into it and uh and so it was fun to watch all that it's politics is fun to watch i don't know how entertaining it is to our listeners let's switch to something else let's go to um um we can talk about we can talk about those people who got crushed to death at the christmas festival in germany here's what here's here's my little prediction here okay oh this is the car right the yes semi truck it was a semi truck loaded down with steel beams they found a polish man shot to death inside the vehicle my guess is no i haven't heard this is that he was the original driver someone killed him hijacked his truck and then crashed it in. They took a man who was a refugee, I don't remember from what country, into custody. Now they're saying it may or may not be the driver

though. So the driver could be at large. I think nine people at least are dead, over 70 injured. He crashed in this Christmas market, which is a big thing in Germany where they serve all kinds of Christmas foods and sell gifts and things, so lots of families are out there. Don't you hate it in Cod when you get that many hit markers? No. Just, you know,

nine kills and 70 assists. It's bullshit. Carry on. It's terrible. And so... God damn. I think that was was it maybe oh i'm predicting though because here's what's coming yeah here's what's coming because i remember back to last year when they had that huge wave of sexual assaults which was around new year's and that's not a coincidence it seemed like in syria or maybe in these refugees home countries new Year's is some sort of sexual assault holiday where you go out and just like go after women I I'm not I

think it's true I'm gonna I'm gonna stick I'm not saying you're wrong you're getting my prediction here here's what's coming New Year's they're gonna go out for some sex assaults and they might get some hate crimes instead because the German people are getting real tired of that shit. They're getting real tired of it, but I guarantee you years things heats up a little more. I don't think it's fair for you to call it a prediction when last

year thousands of women were assaulted by migrants or refugees on New Year's, right? So it's almost... So it's not a full prediction. I'm thinking maybe they've assimilated over the past 365 days into the Deutschland, okay? I imagine they're all wearing lederhosen, fucking eating sausages with that schnitzel and shit on there. They're wearing those wooden shoes.

And they're like, hey, according to my calendar, it's time to fuck some unwilling bitches. Like the cuckoo pops out, but it's just an angry man like choking a blonde girl like they're getting the rape and clothes god is great he fueled this erection uh those guys are gonna i'm glad that that hillary clinton didn't get in there that really was one of her things was wanting to to escalate the amount escalate seems like the right word – the amount of refugees that we took in by some god-awful amount, right? And then Bill Clinton's idea not too long ago was to populate Detroit, repopulate Detroit with Syrian refugees. I think that would be a mistake. Wow!

God, this is going to come off as racist. Who could think that was a good idea? But it seems to me like immigrants are great in small doses they bring in energy they get to work they they assimilate they become fantastic but when you have large doses of immigrants they're not forced to become americans and if you were to repopulate detroit with like i don't know jordanians or something i don't care where they're from then it would be be Little Jordan for the next hundred years. I don't like that idea. I mean, who can look at

Detroit and go, you know what we need here is more poor people without marketable skills and education. I think they're hoping that the bombings will help with the demolition and bring down all the old buildings. Well, what if they did have marketable skills?

What if they started advertising in universities abroad and saying, yeah, all you Germans should come here? I still don't love the idea of having a little Germany for the next hundred years. Well, see, the thing I don't like is the whole – you have to say immigration is or isn't good as a thing like it's it's not good or bad as a thing it's all about the quality of person that you're bringing over if it's a really good group of immigrants from wherever the fuck in the world they're going to do fine if it's a group of shit people from anywhere in the world they're not going to do fine and thinking that you could populate detroit i can't believe bill clinton said detroit should be repopulated by sy refugees. Did he say that?

I think it's undeniable, though, that there are certain not necessarily ethnicities or races, but people from certain countries have a different kind of work ethic and a different kind of attitude about them when they come to this country as immigrants.

I'm thinking of Koreans, Indians, and Pakistanis. Those motherfuckers work. They work so goddamn hard, and they have such a work ethic. And maybe it sounds racist to say that I'm talking about gas stations and laundry and dry cleaners right now, but that's generally what it is. It really is. But when I go in there and talk to that Korean lady at my dry cleaner, goddamn, she works hard and she's good at her job.

She takes pride in my fucking shirts. Those things look right. And she gives me a little smile when she hands it back. She knows they're good. She's proud of that shirt and she should be. I couldn't do that. They're craftsmen out there. It doesn't have to be,

you know, woodworking, right? They're craftsmen who clean shirts. They're craftsmen who do landscaping. We had our front yard. Oh, stay out again. We had our front yard we had our front yard um redone recently like with the bushes and hedges and

shit like that and uh it's been my experience with contractors you talk to this guy he's a really slick salesman he's practically your new best friend and then you know a couple unskilled immigrants come and fuck your shit up dame like the first morning this landscaper's here he's operating the mini excavator by himself like he's he's part of the the crew doing work i loved it he was there the whole time not even like he was there every day and that's all i really need i need everyone working on this thing to know that they're getting graded this afternoon you know they did freak out i'm not going to change his name but like you know

lewis is going to be here this afternoon looking at this and that's in my mind as i do my job we had a really good experience with landscaper good i'm looking for someone to do my flooring right now um and i want to find the right person though because because it's it's not a small job and i want it done right but more so i don't want your the poor experiences that you've had i really don't want that i don't want to get into a fucking dispute with this guy about payment i want the product to be what i want it to be and and i want done in a timely fashion if this shit get because part of this is like moving all of your if you're redoing the flooring in a whole house like the entire living room furniture needs to be moved into the kitchen for a day, right?

And then all of the bedroom needs to be moved to the other bedroom for a day. So like he needs to be getting on with this work or you've upended my whole life in a way that I'm not into. I might be the worst person ever to give contractors advice. Yeah, you notice that in Ask. Yeah, yeah.

I've had better than average results. Maybe your landscaper could put my floors in. Starting with Angie's list you find them and then there's a bunch of reviews I like people who have high ratings and lots of ratings if you're 5 star and 3 people like you I don't mean shit

your mom didn't fool me but if you're 5 star I don't really believe in you but if you got like 113 results and you have positive ratings and that's – But if they got 1,000 ratings, that's no good maybe because maybe that's like eight different crews they've got and you're just getting an aggregate of those crews when in fact there's one crew that are the bullshit crew that are just terrible and that's the crew you'll get stuck with. I don't know what's right. But when I – for me it depends on the job.

Like if, for example, I wanted new hardwood floors in this house, right? Almost every service in this house. Yeah, I don't think we have anything but hardwood floors in my house. I would want a crew who can show up with eight guys. Like I want you to show the fuck out. And, you know, this is a big job. If they have like 14 good ratings, there might just be two people working there. He'll be poking away at this.

Depends on the job. If you've got 6,000 feet of floor to drop, I want a team. I think upstairs it's probably 24, 2500, something like that. I want to do everything except for one of the bathrooms so all of the closets or hardwood yeah everything everything of everything hardwood okay is this because you want the house to be nicer or because you're prepping it for sale i want to be nicer okay and i also and also when my i don't know if i told you my dishwasher went out the

other day here's what happened here's what actually fucking happened, okay? My girlfriend closed the dishwasher, and I guarantee it didn't make the beep, or the latch didn't make the right click, or I would have felt the difference. There's something subtle about fully closed. There's something subtle about when you close the door. Like, I've never closed a car door and been like i wonder if i closed or not i can feel it and i can hear it and she didn't get it closed but it was closed enough for it to operate perhaps that was a malfunction but it was one that i feel she should have noticed

and uh so she like turns it on and goes downstairs to work and like comes up 40 minutes later and the whole kitchen is flooded and so i'm just like well okay well now now we've really got to get some flooring in here because now i have to rip up all the flooring that there is when i'm in there yeah the dishwasher like like the door was open the door was open while it ran so i i ripped i've ripped up all of the flooring in the kitchen to the to the baseboard and like went in because i don't want the fucking house to rot so i'm in there fucking cutting the floor off the flooring. I drag the whole dishwasher out. I throw it off the second floor balcony.

And I installed the new fucking dishwasher. And so now I'm in a hurry to get this flooring done because it looks terrible in there. And I just want it done. I've wanted it done for a while. I've already picked out the flooring. I wasn't thinking about talking about this, but I've got my swatches upstairs.

We picked it out. It's a mistake we made in Apex that you could avoid is our floors didn't match. We didn't do it all at the same time. So we bought the place and had some oak floors, but I kind of liked maple. So we put some maple in somewhere else, and then that wasn't real hardwood,

so the next time we did bamboo, which is less expensive, and then we went to sell it, we had to redo some of the floors to make it match because no one wants a house that's like a quilt. Two-tone. I'm still trying to figure out why. If your dishwasher is anything like mine, which I imagine it is because there's not a huge amount of variation,

for me to turn it on and have it spraying stuff out, I would have to be in a Usain Bolt running position, turn it to on, and then sprint away while fingers in my ears going, la-la-la-la-la, everything's washing fine. I can't imagine that. It wasn't spraying. It was just leaking. So, like, the door is almost shut, shut enough for the electronics to work and for it to all engage. But it's not latched.

It hasn't made that hermetic seal that it needs to make where it's locked up and tight. So it's just leaking out the bottom as it's, you know, it's spraying like crazy in there. I don't know if you've ever seen dishwasher videos from the inside. Kind of cool. It's spraying like crazy in there. I don't know if you've ever seen dishwasher videos from the inside. Kind of cool. But it's spraying, and it's just running out the bottom of the door onto the floor and under the cabinets and everything, just everywhere.

It seems like a problem with the actual dishwasher. Yeah, it was. It shouldn't turn on unless – It is. I can't turn mine on unless it's latched. Did you miss the part where I threw the old dishwasher off the second i thought that was like a cathartic way to say i am done with you problems not so much $700 appliance i'm not throwing it for fun what we did when we were young and dumb we rented a

ski house and we didn't know there were different kinds of dishwasher soap it was actually my my wife's good friend she's a cool she's cool but she was doing the dishes as we're like leaving the place and she used regular like dishwashing stuff that you'd use in the sink yeah if you're unaware that stuff lathers like oh my god thousand percent yeah they used to save oily birds so like the dishwasher was properly closed. It wasn't the same issue that Kyle bumped into. But there's vents and stuff.

You know how warm air sort of shoots out where the handle is maybe? Well, that thing was shooting out just bubbles. Bubbles popping everywhere. And at first, they're kind of like floating to the ground. And then they just pour through the front and start accumulating. And they're covering the kitchen floor in no time. no time has like six inches of bubbles and the boys are all like oh this is fucking you're so funny the girls are like scouring with towels like trying to fix every situation every towel in our home i was like more towels she's like well we don't

want to use i'm like look this this is a major problem We have here every towel we have must be used and laundered and used again if need be And make sure you close the fucking I said that she's like well they'll get mildewy if you leave them like that I was like don't leave them go wash them right now and for God's sakes make sure you latch the washing machine The basements flooded are you mad you know And for God's sakes, make sure you latch the washing machine. Kyle, bad news. The basement's flooded. Are you mad? I swear to God I closed that washer.

It did. It trickled a little bit outside this door. I had to go up in the ceiling to make sure I wasn't going to get some fucking mold. I'm up in the goddamn ceiling looking around like, is anything moist and wet? Is there insulation that's going to hold moisture? I'm ripping shit out of there. It was a disaster. Don't you feel for her? I forgot to put the clothes in the dryer and I put a whole pan of

smell good peaches in it. I had to buy the new goddamn dishwasher. I had to drive three fucking hours to get it by myself. I had to install it by my fucking self. I feel bad for you. I hear you. I guess I'm just saying

I feel like I could have made that same mistake. That's what I should have said. I'm not blaming her for the initial incident. I am a little... I guess a little part of me is like... I don't know. It's hard to blame her for the initial thing happening. That's kind of all fine. When you were explaining how you would have known if the door was closed. I would have known, but I don't know. It's hard to blame her for the initial thing happening. That's kind of all fun. When you were explaining how you would have known if the door was shut.

I would have known, but I don't hold that against her. Because I'm just like, well, it wouldn't have happened to me. But I can't hold you to that standard necessarily. That's not fair to do. I can't hold you to my standard. Well, not necessarily. Not like I'm some sort of dishwasher expert or something. I don't have a Maytag certification.

I'm not the Maytag man or anything. Just a dishwasher buffoon. A recurring disagreement I have with Jackie is she often holds me responsible or gives herself a break based on things I would have done but have never done. Right? Like, you know, oh, well, you would have said that too or you would have done the same thing. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

We cannot hold, like, say that this was not a bad thing because hypothetical Woody would have done it too. Woody is innocent until he actually makes that mistake. That is how things go. You should turn the tables on her. Just every time something happens, like, you'd have done that. Yeah. You see some, like, mother on TV who does some bad thing. You'd have done that.

That's terrible. some like mother on TV who does some bad thing. You'd have done that. It's like it's about Russia in 1912 and some mother who ate her child. You'd have done that. She's downstairs baking me brownies right now. We're finding ways to fuck her. That's a sad thing. My Bundt cake is upstairs. That Bundt cake

was so fucking good. I've been watching this guy's YouTube channel. It's called Food Wishes. He doesn't focus on himself at all. I don't know what he fucking looks like. And that's the best cooking channel in the world. It's just in the bowl. And he really quickly takes you through it in like five minutes. And so I've been cooking all kinds of his stuff.

I'm a big fan. I like that. Pacing and brevity is way more important. I don't know. I was just going to say it's huge is way more important. I don't know. I was just going to say it's huge, especially in cooking. You ever see the cooking GIFs? I like those a lot.

I use those a lot. Yeah, GIF recipes. I tried to use one of those, and it just – you get one pane too far behind, and then it's like I'm not going to wait four minutes for this to start. So I said, fuck it. I just went to a new GIF. Yeah, it is true that the written page is as good as it gets. It's typically in some sort of order. There's sections you can go right to where you want. But if someone were to spend like 25 minutes teaching me how to like mix something, I'd be like, oh my God, go away.

On the other hand, like there's a pair of vlogger I like. His name's Tucker. And if he puts up a three-minute video, I'm like, God damn it. You know, like I waited four days for a, and now I have this three-minute thing. I really like it to be 12 minutes long. Give me some content. Yeah. My girlfriend had five or six cooking outings that just went really, really badly.

And I was just like, look, this cooking thing, there's no talent to it if you're using a recipe. It's like math. it's like math the talent to being a chef or a cook is that you don't need that fucking book of like information you know how much cream to add you know what how much what what the how much butter to add it's not because it's not about two-thirds of a cup or one stick it's about the consistency of the product it's about how it what the peaks are being able to eyeball it yeah it's being able to eyeball and there's all kinds of techniques to like stir something and then like let let it drip onto the rest of it and look at how that how it falls to figure this stuff out i was like that's what the talent part is we're just doing math here it's

just like two-thirds of this and one pinch of that and a teaspoon of this and then stir for three minutes and then 350 for 15. You can't fuck this up. So I've just had to take over. Um, and, and I've actually started liking it. So, so we're cooking something different every day. So what, what, what has been her, uh, most catastrophic cooking failure? Like the one that really disappointed you? I didn't want to ask for all of them because I can tell that would be a long tail. Dear, if you're watching this, I apologize. The spaghetti, there's been so many bad spaghetti sauces.

So many bad spaghetti sauces. I'm like, how do you fuck up spaghetti that bad? We start with canned sauce, but there's a very, you know, to combine the canned sauce to the ground beef or whatever you're using. There's some steps there. You've got to use the right ground beef. You've got to drain it correctly. You've got to chop it up the right way so it's the correct consistency and i like to cook it for i like to make my own anyway i don't like do it from a can i put a little olive

oil infuse the garlic into it and then throw those tomatoes in there and get it stirring and make your own fucking tomato sauce that's what i want to do so it'll taste good um so she's messed up like five spaghettis, lots of chicken, lots of, yeah, it does. Yeah. No, it doesn't, because you end up going to Wendy's. It's like,

there was one night where she messed up like, she messed up like a whole meal of food, like a bunch of chicken and rice and stuff all got ruined. And it was like, it's okay, make a pizza. And then she burnt the pizza and that was the only pizza we had we had one frozen pizza and it was a frozen pizza yeah yeah

it was a frozen pizza she put it on the top rack and the top rack was like really it was it was on like broil so it just burnt the whole top of the peach she's like i put it in for 20 minutes way too much credit to her when you said she made a pizza. I was picturing her being like top hat, like put a little mozzarella you know. She's tossing the dough. Kyle, I'm really sorry again about the dishwasher.

If there's gonna be a dough tossing it'll be me. Now she burnt the fucking frozen pizza and then I was just like, she's crying so I'm just like, alright, let's go to get ourselves some hamburgers sometimes you can be helpful and totally on the right side and then at the end you still like shit because it's like well nobody's happy and everything went wrong and this baconator isn't very good because I wanted spaghetti and like that kind of thing.

Yeah, so I'm going to take over the cooking duties. I love cooking anyway. I really enjoy it. I like mixing the things together and making things happen. I never really cook. What would you describe her duties as? Right, because I'm pretty sure you earn the money and I'm pretty sure that you do the cooking. She apparently does dishes i think we know what i mean she helps out a ton you know around the house um she you know if there's any like errands to run she's she's she she does the shopping she does all the shopping um she she does very aggressively cleaned the kitchen floor. A little too clean. She steam cleaned the kitchen the other day. She boiled the floors first.

Got them real soapy. She learned it from a gift. You know, sort of household chores. She does the majority of those, I would say. And, you know, she's working her own job the whole time, too. She does a lot of our mail runs. I do about probably 70%, 80% of the mail runs. And for us, it's a big deal.

Maybe you think, like, a handful of envelopes from the mailbox, that's a mail run at your house. But here, because they both have Etsy stores, it's often four of those really big satchels full of packages. It's heavy for me to get to my car to take their packages every single day. So she does a lot of that. But mostly the household chores, I would say. Lots of cleaning and not so much cooking anymore because I think I'm going to take over there. But yeah, she cleans up around the house. It seems like an area that you like taking over.

I don't mind a bit. I don't mind a bit taking over the cooking. I really enjoy cooking, and I think I'm good at it. And the food's really tasty. I like the texts that you send because they're a little fun, like, oh, what a life. It's 2 in the afternoon, and this is the third picture of some baked good he's made. I know. Apparently just on some weird stream of thought, wake up in the morning.

You know, today seems like a Bundt cake pan. I'll tell you what happened. My Bundt cake pan got here today. That's what happened. I ordered a Bundt cake pan four days ago, got here today. That's what happened. Yeah, and suddenly, like, I picture him, like, getting up in the morning with, like, footie pajamas. Like, Bundt cake pan is here and just whipping shit up in the morning in footie pajamas like, Bundt Cake Pan is here! And just whipping shit up in the kitchen

and sending pictures to his friends like, check out my Bundt Cake! It's what I imagine Kyle's house is like. It's just Kyle sleeping there in his one of those onesies with the nightcap on. I don't have the onesies! And he's laying down and then Kitty from the basement,

Kanyo! Kanyo, you're waking up! It's getting late! And then you kind of groggily wake up and you go It's Bundcake Tuesday! It's Bundcake Tuesday! And you just sprint down the stairs like a kid at Christmas, you know, run to the front door. He slides on his tummy. To get down the stairs.

It's my Bundcake pan! I know, Koyo! You've been so excited about it! Can I use it right now, kitty? Of course you can! Like your feet are like slipping on the hardwood. That's not too far off. Something like that. There are no footie pajamas. But yeah, as soon as I got that bunk, I got the silicone bunk cake pan.

And it's shaped like flower petals. So yeah, I was pretty excited about it. That's pretty much how Motorcycle Day was at my house. Which I think was saved for PKA. I'm happy we didn't talk about it at all, but I was very excited. I've been enjoying it. We'll have to tune into PKA this week

to find out what happened with Woody's bike. Will he be injured between now and then? Find out. Maybe. Alright, you want to call that a show? Yeah, I think so. Alright, PKN episode 123 I think.
