Painkiller Already - PKN #168

Episode Date: November 17, 2017

It's PKN time baby!

There it is, PKN, episode 168. We were just talking about UFC 217. Oh, it was amazing. It was amazing. Chiz kind of paid his debt in that I guess he paid me for no reason three months ago. Well, he paid you because you were going on and on about me not having paid you yet. So he paid me on your behalf and now he's saying that's his payment to me. God, you guys are terrible about paying. Well, it's more that you were just, you know, you were making a real big deal out of it.

I wanted to be paid for my winnings, yeah, I was making a big deal. No, this is it. See, the thing is, I want to actually make bets. So, like, if you win, I will actually pay you. And if I win, I should actually get paid. It doesn't work the other way. It doesn't work like if I pay and then don't get paid it doesn't work the other way it doesn't work like

if i pay and then don't don't get paid and like that's not fair well it's never been that somebody was trying to not pay you it was that last time it was that i had paid you but you were checking the wrong paypal well i told you which paypal to pay is that true or is that fake news well i wasn't i wasn't the one operating the PayPal. Yeah, right. I told him which PayPal he gave me, and then Kitty just logged in and paid some other one. So it wasn't really like I fucked up, which is how Kyle just told that story. Yeah, we put the money in your left pocket instead of your right. I'm sorry.

I don't even know how many PayPal's I have. I click on LastPass and it just goes right? This is not my problem. Well, it is when I say pay me here and then I check it to see if I'm paid. So I think I'm not paid. I'll put it in your back pocket. You'll put it in the pocket I tell you to put it in.

That's how you pay people. I know you like it in the back pocket. That's where you're going. Open the fly, slip it in. I asked for it in the back pocket. That's where it's going. Open the fly, slip it in. I asked for it in a particular way. The card was fucking excellent. So you haven't paid and Chiz

kind of paid. Well, you owe Chiz $3. That's so unfair. Apparently, Chiz gave me $13.37. Elite payment. Back on August 31st. I didn't even notice it. And Chiz, I think Chiz only owed me five.

I don't know. I might owe him eight. Well, see, he was paying you on my behalf because you were talking about the bet so much. And he kind of wanted to move along. Which is my right. At someone who bets very rarely, there's nothing more annoying than when I'm like, hey, I'll bet you $10 this fucking team wins or something, and then I win the bet, and they're like, I've only got a 20.

Here, you just owe me 10. And it's like, no, no, no. No, this isn't now like, I owe you money. Of course, I need the 20 to get my 10, but doesn't that bother you a little bit, like when they don't have enough to pay you exactly? It's totally unfair to watch Kyle flip this like I'm the asshole. Would you be like, oh, now I'm on the hook for 50 to give back to Taylor. Like a little bit or no.

Doesn't even factor in. Taylor, I'm clearly not the asshole here. I say pay this PayPal and I'm the dick because he pays some other one I thought I wasn't paid. And then she just pays me for no reason and now I'm in debt. I don't know. As the mediator, I'm sensing a little dickery all about... Oh, I literally copy and paste the

email address into the Skype. $5 here. And then when that's not done, I think I'm unpaid, but really they've slipped it to some other account. You guys need to up the betting total. Like, instead of the $5 thing, make it all $50 from here on out. That way it's like... Whoa, big sp there's more pressure to, I don't know.

That's big spending compared to what you guys are usually betting. I know. Woody just makes it not fun when we bet. You make it not fun? See, that's so not fair. Woody makes it not fun when I welch on bets. That's what you should be saying. Nobody's welching on bets.

That's what you should say. You know, when I welch on bets. That's what you should be saying. Nobody's welching on bets. That's what you should say. You know, when I welch on bets, Woody expects payment. Who you're never going to see again. When clearly my intention is to get you the money. And you're just, you know, you kind of harass us about the bets and make a big deal of it. I would have paid you at the conclusion of the fights. That's what Lozon does. Lozon and I, the ref's still making the announcement and we're getting paid.

There's no welching going on. Well, you should bet with Lozon from now on so you get that money immediately and you can invest it and start getting your interest off of it. I do. I can show you my winnings. In fairness, Lozon made me sign up for a Venmo account.

Are you guys familiar with Venmo? It's like the new PayPal, I guess. It's what all the kids are using. I was like, $5 PayPal bet, which is our standard bet challenge. And he's like, no, it's Venmo now. So now I have a Venmo account with $5 in it, and I don't know what to do or how to handle that. Next bet.

Yeah, I didn't like that either when friends were like, oh, yeah, I'll just put dinner on my card. Just Venmo me $20. It's like now I need to download a different app to do something and then eventually I'm gonna buy dinner and you'll pay me into Venmo and then I'll just have money in a Venmo account. What am I doing?

What am I doing? That's exactly the situation. What does Venmo do that PayPal doesn't? Nothing. Oh. 0%. User interface I think is the difference. Like you can send money via text and stuff.

Let's say that I pick up lunch or something, but we're going to split it. You can easily just... It's so quick and simple to just send me whatever, $8.27 via Venmo. Whereas, in PayPal, it's like an ordeal, apparently. It takes almost a week to pay someone in PayPal. You can back me up on this, Kyle. I just don't have the password.

It rotates like every week and I don't have it and she's been busy so I couldn't get her to do it. The annoying thing with Venmo is that you always have all my friends at least and I know everybody uses this. They fuck around with it so when I use it, I like to do it seriously. So if Kyle bought, I'd be like, all right

$40 $20 to Kyle for food Can you put in the delivery line what it is all of my friends send it with either cocaine? prostitution Made up things that like they think are jokey, but it's like hey if one of us wants to run for office later We're gonna explain all That were apparently very cheap prostitutes that we're apparently purchasing for one another. These very cheap prostitutes. Very cheap.

Honestly, they all seem to be the same price as a Frisco melt because that's what they really were. Go back and check the price of a Frisco melt from 2016, and it will confirm that. But, yeah, I wish everybody would just do PayPal. I wish everyone would just do one. I'm kind of flexible. My money is in PayPal, but, yeah, it's, I don't know. I've never even paid anyone in Venmo. Back to the card.

That was one of the best, most entertaining UFC cards they've ever put on yet. Three belts changing hands. Three. GSP looked not quite as good as he used to, but plenty good to take out michael bisping it's oh he won yeah gsp won uh cody garbrandt uh and all the lost and uh in both the garbrandt fight and the uh bisping fight i thought they were doing well in their first round like the especially cody's cody won his first round and kind of...

10-8, I think. Saved by the buzzer there at the end. What's-his-name-is-on-the-ground. TJ. But Rose. Rose comes out and fucking mauls Joanna. It was

very impressive. Joanna looked jerky and twitchy, and she was hitting. Maintaining perfect distance and then throwing feints everywhere and then lunging in with lefts and rights and just knocks her down and then submits her with strikes. It was a complete dominant victory in the first round. It was very fun to watch. Rogan is screaming like losing his fucking shit.

The whole crowd can't believe it. Joanna doesn't know where the hell she is. And Rose is just like, I'm just a regular person, y'all. Just try to be nice to each other. This belt don't mean nothing. This is just entertainment. Be nice to each other. belt don't mean nothing this is just entertainment be nice to each other that's what's important uh it was amazing i don't know about you when i watch striking it's a good winning speech what's her name uh rose namayous all right she's one of my

favorites now all right i should watch the fight her name her nickname is thug yeah she's got lithuanian yeah that's that's where the name comes from. They all got fucked up last names. She's American, though. Because Taylor might not know. What was I going to say? Oh, when I watch, see, when I watch grappling, I can really tell who's doing well, who's not doing well, who's being slick and getting away with stuff, setting traps. When I watch striking, I mean, I can tell who's punching who, but a great example of this, Joe Lozon versus Anthony Pettis, right?

The fight lasted about a minute and a half. For like a minute and 20 seconds, Joe was winning, right? He was hitting the guy more than he was getting hit. Everything was going well. And then Pettis saw what he needed to see, and he kicked Joe in like the neck sort of chin area and turned his lights off. Right. So who got the better of that striking? Like you might say like, oh, everything was going well, except for that, you know, one kick. Or you might say

like, no, that that's not how striking goes. He was measuring him. He was waiting until he saw what he needed to see, and then he executed on it. So I was watching Thug Rose, let's call her that. I was watching Thug Rose do her thing, and I'm like, ah, yeah, but she's not as good a striker, right? Everyone just knows that she can't beat Joanna Champion in striking. So, God, you know, she must be. Joanna, former champion. She must be. That's a nickname people give her. But, yeah, Joanna, ex-champion, whatever.

She must be measuring her. She must be, oh, yeah, that... She knocked her down. I bet she didn't mean for that to happen. And then the second knockdown, she never... She didn't let her up. Yeah. Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow. Those lefts. The thing is, you can

really punch yourself out if you don't finish the other person on the ground. And Thug Rose was just burning every last bit of energy into ending the fight. And I was like, what happens if this doesn't end the fight? She'll be exhausted. I didn't. Like Joanna was like in the fetal position, like on her knees trying to cover up, but not doing it effectively.

Cause like her brain wasn't working well. So like her left hand wasn't over her head and rose is just she's got one hand like holding her and the and the left is just pummeling yeah she hit her in the head like eight times in a row she did that fast joanna joanna tapped to strikes which some people make a really big deal about they feel like that's a cowardly way to lose a fight I don't understand actually Tapping to strikes to me is just like Tapping to armbar or kneebar You do that so that you don't get injured

Sometimes you realize it's not your night And you tap out It depends on the strikes Alright so I'll give you a perfect example But I was going somewhere with that Okay go ahead Yeah so Joanna tapped out with strikes, and she doesn't know. I watched her give interviews that night and the next day

saying that she didn't tap out to strikes. And that was like, wow. That to me implies that she was kind of getting beat up there. Her head's not working. She needs to rewatch the tape. She clearly tapped the strikes. Everybody saw it. Rog it we saw it she tapped it was and she still insists that she didn't yeah it well you see sometimes someone will get in a rear naked choke and they won't even try to defend it there's like ah my way out here it is and i guess there's uh

people who might do that to strikes as well, like when the strikes aren't serious strikes. I mean, in her position, though, I didn't think she was getting out of there. And Rose had 20 more of those in her. You know? Rose was going to beat her ear off her fucking head. It wasn't going to end well. That was wonderful, watching Rose win like that. We all said before the fight, like, I wish Rose would win,

but I just don't think she can, you know? Were all of your guys' bets on the Bisping-Pierre fight? We made two bets. Some were straight up. Kyle and I had a straight up bet on the Bisping-Pierre. Yeah, Jean-Claude. Saint-Pierre. Saint-Pierre.

Thank you, fight. And then the other was we picked all the fights through the night, and whoever got the most right won the pool. I just watched the ending of the Bisping St. Pierre one, and it's like

you can tell Bisping's in trouble on the down of that 16th elbow. Because for the first six of them, I'm like, how many of these are even hitting? He'll push them back and get off, and it's like, ah, no. This is like death by a thousand cuts right now, where just

enough of that elbow's getting through. You're totally right. Nothing looks as unpleasant as losing in the UFC. I still have so little understanding of why you could get your ass beat like that and be like, you know what, just gotta get back in the game and everything. I feel like watching that game tape in football, in the NFL, it'll be like, I see that right

there, you're a corner, you just got blown by. Everybody in the stadium knows you look like a fool. It's like, yeah, but do you see that bitch getting her teeth knocked out the other night? I'd rather be that guy. I'll tell you what, Bisping- Man, there's no sport where it's worse to lose than in the UFC. In the Bisping fight, if I have to pick one of those

guys to be, I'd pick Bisping because GSP today looks like shit. He'll never look the same after what Bisping did to him. GSP got Bisping down and his wrestling wasn't as good and his top game didn't look as good. Bisping's and his wrestling wasn't as good and his top game didn't look as good and Bisping's bottom game is

fucking top notch. He's cutting GSP from the bottom with these elbows like he's got razor blades on him like he's a fighting cock. He cuts the bridge of his nose open like a razor. He cuts the top of his forehead open like it's a razor and when

they get up, it's like, who got the better of that? Clearly Bisping did because one of these guys' face is covered with blood and the other one's like, all right, come on. I like that so much. People don't practice elbows. If we're

regularly sparring and we both got 16-ounce gloves on, then we can hit each other. Elbows, though, you break training partners using elbows. You can't use elbows and knees really in sparring and we both got 16 ounce gloves on then we can hit each other elbows though like you break training partners using elbows you can't use elbows and knees really in sparring so these guys are just good enough athletes that they're pulling it off against guys like gsp when the lights are shining having barely practiced elbows from the bottom like that then he cut him open and i didn't see a post-fight picture, but GSP, the bridge of his nose was cut. And up here, too. I saw two big cuts.

I think there might have been three. I just can't remember the spot of the third one. I think it was above his eyebrow line. Kyle's pointing to his forehead as the other cuts, if you're listening on audio. Yeah. Well, I mean, one thing that's sort of telling is gsp wasn't there for the post fight interviews he was at the hospital getting stitched up this thing's there like oh it was rough but now i'm gonna go get fucked up at the bar yeah just so if people didn't see the fight

uh gsp choked him out he got a rear naked choke on bisping so to lose that way is is a gentle way to lose you know like when friends choke each other out they use the rear naked choke it doesn't even hurt really that looks to be the preferred one it's uncomfortable but it's not what happened to joanna it's not getting your brain rattled around for for five seconds until you can't even remember if you tapped. Friends never say, let's do the shark in the water drill. I'll pretend I'm getting hit in the head and you just pound me until the ref pulls you off.

We're going to do that five by five. All right, ready? No, they use a heavy bag on the ground. We'll go until my arm is tired. Sound good? Yeah. God, getting your ass beat until someone else's arm is tired. One of the – I immediately regretted our pool bet because we were in a hurry to get the pool bet established.

I saw that you and Chiz had both picked your card winners, and I was like, oh, let me rush in and get this. And I knew all the fighters except for who Johnny Hendricks was fighting I know Johnny Hendricks and I and I knew that like he'd had weight problems but I read that he made weight and he still looked good and I was like oh this is a good sign I bet he got a new former world champion second best high school wrestler ever people don't know that he did in all time like all the wrestlers who've ever wrestled in high school ranked johnny hendrix's second you know he went to oklahoma in college he's a top notch guy uh world champion and uh had some trouble making weights now he's at 185 kyle sees his name

and an amy doesn't know boom pick the one you know yeah i'll write hendrix in there then i see who hendrix is fighting holy fuck that guy the latino commando fucking this caustic guy who looks like he's two weight classes bigger and is ripped and muscular and action figure stat he failed the eye test times five oh my god here let's make another bet he gets busted for steroids before 2019 ends that's the bet i'll take i would be shocked if that guy doesn't get popped in the next year or two i i wanted to test him right then and there yeah and use that to get out of the bet because it was clear oh my god it. It was like, Costa? Costa, like I immediately wanted to be like,

Whoa, whoa, whoa guys, hang on a goddamn minute. Did you bring a, there's a ringer in there that could not be the man who, Who the fuck is White Yul Romero in here with Johnny Hendricks? He looks like a power lifter, like a bodybuilder. He looks like a guy who's gone for looks rather than effectiveness. And I suppose if the fight had drug on for four or five rounds, maybe he does run out of gas. But it's a three-round fight. The other thing is he's Brazilian.

And while it's difficult to convict an entire country, a general rule of thumb in the UFC is if they're Brazilian, they're on steroids. That seems to be a trend, and I don't even follow the sport every time they're like oh man this new guy jose manduio is coming onto the scene and it's like oh and he's out of the scene yeah turns out he was taking horse testosterone like off the top of my head i don't know his actual measurements but he looked three inches tall or maybe four he looked five inches fucking wider. He looked 20 years younger.

With a 21-inch waist. And he looked three times as good looking. Like all the things we've said. And he was the best looking fighter on the card. And GSP's on the card. Like great looking, handsome guy. 20 times in the fight, my wife said that I look like that guy. And I'm like, I am so glad

you can't see well. Yeah. You said that and I was like, alright. You do have a similar face shape and everything. But Costa is a Brazilian supermodel. Yeah, I know. It's ridiculous. I immediately regretted that bet when I saw Costa.

I was like, ah, going to be a rough night for me. My wife watched the beginning of the card with me, and I'm like, you can't pick the card by the looks, right? Fedor, for example, won all his fights, and that guy doesn't look like a fighter at all. But you can kind of, right? When it gets ridiculous enough, you know, when it's some guy who doesn't even look like he trains

versus some guy who's clearly on steroids. Yeah. Hendrix looks like, I said it as soon as he came out, I was like, Hendrix has the same physique as Jeremy does, my friend Jeremy. Like, he's got a bit of a belly hanging over his shirt. Clearly a stout guy. Strong. This guy would

pick something big and heavy up and two feed bags, one on each shoulder and go to walk in. He looked country strong but also like a guy who enjoyed Hardee's in the morning. He gets a couple gravy biscuits, gets a lot of sugar in his coffee and he goes about his day. i feel like i could

attain the johnny hendrix physique you have the johnny maybe better i may like yeah no i'm definitely heavier than bigger than him how tall are these guys it must be shorter than you because it's a 185 weight class if you if you cut to 185 you would look like a supermodel too you'd be all ripped up and yeah this guy paul paulo costa yeah you're right he looks like he would be the body that they use to mold like the superhero suit too yeah yes like his abs like he's got a 10 pack and you can see he's worked out so hard that those abs are starting to divide like cell mitosis because they're like you know we need even more here can we fit 20 in you can see chest striations yeah you know like his delts are like balls attached to his fucking collarbone it just

it's outrageous oh you said collarbone my brother broke his collarbone last weekend that's not that's a rough injury is it how do you do it how bad is it at being and i haven't called him yet yeah because you can you can't do anything about it. You've just got to put it back in place and then be tender with it. There's no brace to put on your collarbone. Maybe an arm sleeve? It's really a difficult one. It's so painful.

A kid on my hockey team broke his because he got checked, and instead of rolling into the check, it compressed him, and it just broke like that. And so now he'll still show sometimes, like, hey, remember when I broke my collarbone? And instead of it being a one-line thing, like, you can see without his shirt on, he's got one normal collarbone,

and then one where it's slightly shorter because it fused together. And at the time, I remember seeing he was, like, green, like, struggling not to vomit. It was so painful. But, yeah, that's rough. He was skiing, and it happened? No, ATVing, like, four-wheeler quads. I don't know the best thing to vomit it was so painful but uh yeah that's rough he was skiing and it happened no atving the

like four-wheeler quads i don't know the best thing to call it four-wheeler four-wheeler okay yeah that's what like growing up lately that's what we always call because atv does applies to so many things and i feel like like i don't know i don't know what the correct thing is but four-wheeler is what i always called i mean we grew up with those things have you ever had a three-wheeler yes well not owned it but. We grew up with those things. Have you ever had a three-wheeler? Yes. Well, not owned it, but my friend had one. Death track. Half as good.

Death track. The only cool thing about a three-wheeler is you can get a wheelie and you can ride that thing all day long. You can have a lot of fun that way. We just couldn't drive or anything, so it was like, I don't know. We could go somewhere, even if it's only woods locations like let's go to the pit let's go to the big sand hill let's go to this they all had dumb names that was the fun part let's drive around the pasture shoot cows with paintball guns yeah let's go to the

woods and build a fort they don't mind they don't even know they barely mind they're literally covered in leather yeah they don't mind at all Put me in a big suit of cow skin out there and you can shoot me. I won't mind. We need to spend a brief amount of time as other animals just so we can settle these debates, right? I don't want to dive too down this rabbit hole, but how do you know they don't mind?

Because of the reaction that they have when you do it. Okay, now here's the thing. Like, I know that needles hurt and my dogs don't even seem to notice. But I think they hurt just as much on a dog. They just, cats, when cats fall from several stories, I'm told that's very painful and sometimes they're injured. But they don't react because, you know,

there are instincts you need to survive in the wild. And holding your arm and crying like a baby is not one of them that's that's unique to humans with things that do hurt them and i've seen their reaction though you shoot them with a shotgun and they get their ass moving along get back in the field like like we shoot our cows yeah this bird you shoot it with a bird pellet with bird shot right in the ass yeah like like we've our cows have gotten out before and traveled like a mile and been on the wrong side of a goddamn highway and somebody's wheat field and it's like you bitches gotta go home like like because if a car hits the cow you're liable for that shit if your cow is out and someone's in the highway a car hits and everybody dies you're liable for that shit. If your cow is out in the highway, a car hits and everybody dies,

you're liable for that shit. And they're smart. After a while, they hear, and they're like, all right, we're going, boss. So all you gotta do is cock it after a while, just pump it a couple times, and they get their asses moving.

And then you find the stubborn cow, and you give her a blast in the ass slash pussy. And, you know know from 40 yards 50 yards just enough to sting the fuck out of her again covered in leather um and i've also shot him with a paintball um uh potato gun my cousin would be up be driving the four-wheeler i'd be like riding shotgun or potato gun and uh he'd ride us up alongside them and i'd fucking blast him in the ass with a tater gun and and that's a lot of fun i feel like that would probably get their attention more than the

shotgun aside from the i don't know how loud a potato gun is compared to a shotgun i've never played with a potato gun you and your friends used to shoot each other with birdshot what we would do is take the shot out we'd or we'd either load shells or we'd just disassemble shells, and we shoot the packings at each other because you've got the plastic packing in there. Is it called a wadding, or is that something specific? I think both apply to the same thing. Kyle and his friends were blowing their wads all over each other.

As you do. Packing wads, you know, like they're the same thing. It's sort of synonymous. But, yeah, we shoot those at each other, and they fizzle out after about 10 yards. They're lighter. For people who don't know a shotgun shell at all, the pellets that you shoot hurt are in a little cup. That's the packing.

And that cup is made of a lightweight plastic. So just like even though it leaves the chamber, or what am am i looking for the barrel really fast uh it'll slow down and it's shaped like a backward shuttle cock so when it comes out it opens up and hits the wind so it like releases all the shots so it it decelerates real quick but yeah we blasted each other with those because you know you got a real gun now and you can you can load up and boom boom and that was a lot of fucking fun that's alarm most people don't do that my parents would not have been cool with that and they were cool with a lot of woodland shit you know in the woods and stuff we used to have uh bow and arrow battles uh did you used to do that no that's

dangerous not real bow and arrow battles it would start with like friends like we'd go in the woods and build our own and after a couple weeks of you know we're eight nine years old like after a couple weekends of that you've gone from like using dry sticks that like break when you're like why won't this work to like you find yourself a nice young sapling like a tree that you take down. And then eventually you start, like, the first person who puts a stone on the head of their arrow, that is when we had problems.

Because the first excuse was like, guys, no arrowheads. And we're like, all right, how about round stones? That'll make it go further and it won't hurt that bad. And then one person gets hit in the ribs with one of those and fucking Ted's mom has to come come over and throw a huge fit and then we can't shoot arrows at each other anymore and then we didn't hang out with ted anymore so that's what you get for being a bitch take your lumps you know when we're playing when we're pretending to be when i'm pretending to be a an archer of rohan up there in our sheet fort and i pop you with a good, and you're playing the Uruk-hai, of course you go down. Yeah, he was kind of a bitch to tell his mom about it.

I'll get it if he needed medical care, like if you got him in the eye, but in the rib? Come on. Yeah, it was ridiculous. I bet Ted was a bitch in general, wasn't he? This isn't the first time he complained. He buckled before his friends. He also complained once because

we used to do this game that they probably wouldn't let you do at recess anymore where I was one of the biggest kids and there was one kid once where I grabbed him by the arms and you know where you swing like Bowser and you skip people going boom, boom, like real quick. We would do that, but we were in a bunch of grass

so it was safe and then eventually I would let go and see how far people would go and it was a fun game like nobody Was getting hurt. Especially you. Yeah, I would throw my friends. People had trouble throwing me and so I was always down to play because they're like hey You want us to throw you and if they did it was like like barely at all So I always felt safe, but then uh I pulled one of that kid's arms out of his socket because he wasn't like Holding up, you know, he wasn't doing his part. You don't just like go loosey-goosey well I'm doing this like no we're having a tight chain here and so then he got hit puberty at seven yeah I know you might

not have had the muscle mass we pulled my daughter's arm out when she was three I didn't I never said you didn't hold up her end of the deal these are fair I learned my lesson partially I did that also during recess once like we had a tire swing and it was like the not the one tire like going vertically it was the three chains like so the tire was sitting flat you know the kind that you could really get spinning and there was this really nice girl in our grade uh named rebecca and she didn't like to play on the tire swing that much but just like all the other games they were like taylor get a spinning because i was bigger and so i would get people spinning fast and i was you know of course you don't have much in your in your repertoire at the age of nine and so you're like what am i good at fucking getting

people going on this thing i will you come to you know you want to spin fast you come to taylor at recess don't get you going there's a 12 year old grown-up with none of the responsibility i uh i i put her on there and like and of course it was like a crowd of kids waiting in line and having fun and i'm like all right rebecca let's go and of course i want to get going so fast and i got it going so fucking fast that uh you know her legs were like flying out because she wasn't able to like hold her body like in it anymore like she was starting and she was going wobbly and of course there's two wooden posts that are keeping this thing up and if you are responsible and you stay tight like you're supposed to like

all the other kids did you stay pretty much in the center and you just spin so fast but she you know this this young girl didn't have the upper body strength didn't have the core to deal with what i was throwing out there and so and so she slowly goes oblong with her body coming out oh no cracks her head on the wooden beam because, of course, as she gets off balance, it starts rocking. Yeah. So quickly, all the kids left. The end.

They were just like, this is Taylor's game. We're not doing this. And so she hit her head really hard. She was too dizzy to go get help right away. Thank God. And so I had the chance. Left her there. No, I didn't leave her.

I had the chance to go talk to the teacher first. And I wasn't a bad kid. And so I got to tamp down the situation first. Miss Reeves, honestly, don't freak out. You know me. Rebecca had a mishap. Not an accident. Just it couldn't be less of a big deal.

Come with me. And then they took her. And she was fine she went home early that day she was throwing up from being dizzy too hopefully not from a little concussion taylor she clearly had a concussion yeah she was she was too dizzy to know what was up and she was vomiting you know maybe concussion you got to ride the short bus after that and she preferred it have you ever not gone back and thought about something for so long because you thought you had it figured out, and then you go back and you realize the truth? Until this very second, I was always like, God, I spun that chick so hard she vomited.

And it was like, oh, no, it's because she had a slight head injury. She had a good concussion, man. I was so the opposite my high school experience like I remember this it was either like the first or second day of high school so I'm in ninth grade and the juniors and seniors are stuffing kids into lockers

right the little ones who couldn't fight back and I'm looking to my right and I'm looking to my left and it's like these fucking kids are my size I'm at risk here. It's time for me to get my clothes on, keep my head low, and head over to the – people would queue up at the end of the locker room and wait for the bell to ring.

And I had to get out of Dodge because woody-sized people were being stuffed into lockers. I'm glad I never had to deal with physical bullying very much. Of course not. What bullying did you have to deal with? What bully you? Like a teacher? See, that's the thing. You didn't have to deal with any bullying. You hardly know. You're like,

oh, no, I had some emotional bullying. You can't emotionally bully someone who can physically bully you. That is fair. Yeah. I mean, maybe that's why I'm not as anti-bullying as I am.

Maybe it's more like, it's not that bad, all you fucking people out there making a scene. Just be bigger than the other kids. Check out these jeans I got. Check these out. This is a PKA first. Oh, those are those stretchy jeans?

These are the pajama jeans. They're pajama pants. They're completely stretchy everywhere. They have an elastic waistband, but they look like nice straight leg jeans. I got them off Amazon for $40, and I'm going to get some more. This is all I'm wearing from now on. It's actual sweatpants. It was just the illusion of jeans. I got them off Amazon for $40 and I'm going to get some more. This is all I'm wearing from now on.

It's actual sweatpants. It was just the illusion of jeans. Exactly. It's actual sweatpants. They're really stretchy but they appear to the untrained eye to be denim. They're fucking excellent. It's one of the best purchases

I've ever made in my life. This is up there. I went out today in these. He can lounge around in pajamas all day and answer the door and act like he wasn't doing that. Pajama jeans. They're called pajama jeans. I went out today. I went places.

I threw a polo on over them. You can't tell as long as you don't see the waistband, which is stretchy. You have to specify for men. For men, yes. Because the ladies' pajama jeans, they don't dwell there for ladies. If I was a lady, I'd rock a pair of those. They look pretty hot. Those are nice, too.

Are the pockets fake? No, the pockets are real. They've got regular jean pockets front and back. They've even regular jean pockets front and back. They've even got the little miniature pocket on the hip. Real winner. Very happy about this. I think I found them.

I might order some of these. They're $40. They're excellent. Chiz has a pair, too. I think Chiz's arrive tomorrow big fan of the pajama jeans I can't tell you I'm ecstatic

they came and I immediately like I was outside and I was like pajama jeans and I just like drop trowel right there put them on I was like yes yes this is the perfect size they fit they're exactly what I wanted. Very happy about these.

Well, that's good. I've checked out the standings, Taylor. It looks like St. Louis is the second best team in the NHL right now if you were to go by points. And the Carolina Hurricanes are the third worst team in the NHL right now. That really sucks.

That's not too good. Philly, I haven't kept up with them. They beat the Blues the other night. Their goalie, Neuwirth, played fantastic. He had like 30 plus saves. Had a shutout. It was a great game. Well, if they keep that up, they'll hit 500.

They will. It's been a weird standings thing. Vegas is doing really, really well this year. I'm trying to figure out when they're going to collapse and fall apart, but they're doing better than the Washington Capitals. They're doing better than pretty much

every team in the league other than... Oh, Jersey. We played Jersey tonight. They're doing great this year. Knock them down a peg for me, would you? They're 9-3-1. Yeah, I'd like to beat Jersey tonight. They're doing great this year. Knock them peg for me. We're nine three and one. Yeah, I'd like to beat Jersey tonight But yeah, it's it this season's going so much better than I thought it would because the like I well I'm glad Philly gave you a great player. You're doing well. Yeah, you did. Oh, honestly Braden Shen I couldn't be happier everybody here already loves him We're like it cuz so many Philly fans are talking shit on him.

He only gets points on the power play. And it's like, no, maybe it's because you're not utilizing this dude right. He's clearly not that happy in Philly right now because he doesn't feel like he's getting the time he needs. And then he comes here and we put him on a line with Tarasenko and Schwartz. And they're like one of the maybe like the second best line in the NHL so far this season. I wouldn't know. I think I'm just going by like point totals per game. I'm trying, oh,

Stamkos, Kucherov, and Killorn, or whoever the fuck is, Braden Point, whoever's on that Tampa Bay line, because they're out of control over there in Tampa Bay right now, going hog wild. They're so good. So yeah, that's the only team that I think is

clearly better than the blues right now is tampa bay and i kind of put them on an echelon above everyone because like if you just look at how many goals they're scoring they're doing great but their win loss is similar though it is yeah it's pretty similar but i mean their their top line is so much better than our top line as far as point production but who knows maybe he'll drop off i remember philadelphia used to have a line i'm trying to remember it was lindros like renee and john lemieux john lequeu something like that and uh laqua anyway they called him the legion of doom they called him the legion of doom and i would get so like the legion of doom is on the ice right now like Like, it's happening. It's going. They're doing it.

They scored. It was awesome. And our players were bigger and stronger than everyone else back when Broad Street Bullies meant something. And that was fun, too, because they were really skilled, and they were really big, and it was like nothing you could do about it. And Lemieux threw his body around all the time. He would just break people.

Like, he had what I remember to be a pretty legal, decent check against – he played for the Coyotes, Jeremy Roenick. Oh, yeah. Now he's an announcer and everybody hates him. Smushed his skull. Like his jawbones touched or something. It was ridiculous. Yeah.

Yeah. And it's like, well, yeah. When Eric Lindros is on the ice – You're a lizard person now. Yeah. You should move out of the, when Eric Lindros is on the ice, you should move out of the way when Eric tries to check you. Don't absorb that shit. There haven't been too many horrible, brutal injuries so far this year, but that just means that we're due for a couple of gross ones.

You know, someone to get their finger chopped off. Actually, you're probably enjoying how Pittsburgh is totally underperforming so far this year. They have won eight games, lost six, and then lost two in overtime. They're 500, but their goal differential is one of the lowest in the league. They've let 16 more goals in than they've scored, which doesn't bode well. Because it means every time you lose, you're not like a two to three loss you're getting blown the fuck out i know you didn't like that stat last year i used to pull it out a lot and you didn't seem to put much weight in it oh no it doesn't it honestly doesn't mean

much because what matters is the record but it is fun when there's a team like pittsburgh who everybody's so you know high on like oh my god they're gonna three peat again this year and it's like yeah they are really good but then to see them start off badly, it's nice. They lost a player or two who's supposed to be a big deal. I forget the names. They lose their goalie? Did they... Oh, yeah. They lost Marc-Andre Fleury. He plays for

Vegas now. Their other goalie's been doing fine, I guess, and I'm not sure who else they've lost. They got Reeves from us. Ryan Reeves, our favorite enforcer here, but uh Turns out it's kind of what everybody was saying They're like oh, they only love him at st. Louis because they've historically always had an enforcer And it's like no he actually like produces and helps too

And then now I look at him doing over stuff over at Pittsburgh, and it's like I don't know they were that they're right Yeah, they're regretting this trade right now because he is not very good at hockey Good at hurting people. I like that, though. I don't know why they did that anyway. Like, I don't know. The Flyers don't have any big beat-down guys. They're mostly a skill team at this point as well, I would think.

I wish the Flyers would turn that into a winning trend, though. Like, all my hockey knowledge is so out of date because i used to follow it a lot but like remember when jersey came in they had the left wing lock and then every player every team starts like i know we'll run two forwards and four defense that's too many players but yeah you know so they just take their left wing slide them back on d and and they just played really conservatively and they won these horrible to watch games and then eventually like that stopped working well and teams that could score and they just played really conservatively and they won these horrible to watch games. And then eventually, that stopped working well and teams that could score were beating teams like Jersey

and now they're not so bad. I want teams that can fight to start beating these all-skill teams. I want, you know, like, oh yeah, these guys are great, but they're a glass cannon. And when they run up against a team who's willing to check them, then suddenly they turtle up into their shell and stop doing what they can. That's hard to do because you got teams like Chicago

or Pittsburgh who are so, they're smaller and they're faster and they're very high skill teams. And so if you run a bunch of bruisers out there, the hardest part, if you actually match up with them, you're going to beat their ass. But baiting them into a fight and catching up to them on the ice like most of the time you're just gonna go too much for a check because that's your job as a

bruiser and then they're gonna you know make a skill pass and that's what they do be off to the races yeah yeah that's what they do but if you if we could just turn the tide a little bit make that a thing we should probably talk less hockey. Yeah, a little less hockey. In aviation news and also Philly sports news, I think he played for the Phillies in baseball. Roy Holliday, have you heard of him? Yeah, he's a pitcher.

Yeah, he was a pitcher for Philly and a couple other teams. He died in a plane crash today in the Gulf of Mexico. Did you hear about that, Kyle? Yeah, yeah. I thought they said Blue Jays. I didn't really care, to be honest. Oh, Blue Jays and Phillies, I guess. Yeah. You know.

He was our ace for a bit in Philly, I think. He was like our top guy. And I think he won a World Series. Am I on target there? Do you know? You might have. My baseball knowledge is so lacking. Yeah.

Me too, but it just happened. You might know if it was the Cardinals the year they won the Series 2. Oh, yeah. Maybe. I mean, the Cardinals have won so many. I can't possibly be dragged. Great pitcher. Not much of a pilot, though.

Was he flying? Yeah, he was flying. It was his plane oh well kyle's onto something there kyle is onto something technically there i mean yeah strike three usually people say wait five hours to make jokes you know after the time zone i'm in the clear i don't know any of the details but tell tell me. I'm just going to apply my own aviation knowledge. Did he fly at too high an altitude without oxygen and then get hypoxia? I'm scrolling through the Twitter trending thing. It's literally so short a time.

They probably are investigating. They don't know yet, probably. Did he go straight for a while until he ran out of gas? Because that's an indicator. Oh, is that an indicator that you passed out and you're just dead up there already? Or you're like drunk-ish, you know, just sort of enjoying the death. Oh, man. That's a sad but also kind of good way to die, right?

Yeah, exactly. No, freezing to death. Oh, is that what it is? I've heard you're not even cold after a while. It's just kind of pleasant, warm, and there's a strong urge to just sort of nod off. Yeah. Hey, Georgia's ranked number one

in the playoffs now. Yeah! I saw that. I mean, according to those rankings. We'll see. Well, number two in any other kind of ranking that there may be. And we'll be playing Alabama at least once this year. You know, SEC championship and then national championship.

So, you know, we'll get to do it. I don't know much about college football, but for people that know even less than me, all season long, like the press and I think the coaches rank teams. And then towards the end of the season, there's an official ranking as to who will get into the playoffs. And that came out either one or two weeks ago. And Georgia, who had been number two in those unofficial rankings,

came out as number one in the playoff rankings. And I think it's because Georgia's beat tougher teams than Alabama has. Does that sound right? Strength of schedule comes into play. It's also how badly you beat the teams you play. Although Alabama's been stomping people as well, dropping

40, 50, 60 points on people. We play Auburn this week, which is our I think they're ranked 10th in the country. That's going to be our biggest hurdle. Yeah, after that, you guys are probably going to steamroll Kentucky and Tech. Yeah, could easily have a perfect season on the way to a national title. It's within their grasp. They just have to perform.

So that's real cool. And we beat Florida so bad, they fired their coach. Dude, we beat, Florida so bad they fired their coach Badly yeah, and Mizzou is not good this year hello. We should have played instead of Notre Dame Yeah, Notre Dame is a very good team this year. We just barely squeezed by them You know we up I mean if Mizzou wins out we could could still make it into the fucking Slim Jim Bowl or something. The Boybin Bowl. The what? The Bourbon Bowl.

Oh, you know what? That's what the water boy played in. The Boybin Bowl. The Boybin Bowl. I haven't watched that in so long. Man, that movie's so fucking funny. I watched a clip from that the other night. It was when he's in class and the Colonel Sanders-looking professor is like,

Can anyone tell me why alligators are so abnormally ornery? And he's like, I know this. Mama said alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush to brush them with. Well, folks, Mama's wrong again.

No, Colonel Sanders, you're wrong. No, Colonel Sanders, you're wrong no conor sanders you're wrong that's that's one of his best movies that shit's hilarious nc state was in it against clemson and they were in it against notre dame who are currently ranked third and fourth but nc state is currently unranked now because close doesn't help much no again you might get to play in some kind of a bowl. I don't know.

Most people don't care about bowl games, but if you're really close, you get money. Your team gets money, and they get to play on a big stage in front of a national audience. That's cool, I guess. You can get an extra game at the end of the year. You can certainly get into a bowl. They're 6-3.

They'll have a winning record number 20 nc state and uh sorry i'm playing a video i didn't mean to um yeah so so they'll have a winning record and there's some other things like apparently state fans do a really good job traveling to see the games and that makes them attractive to like bowl committees and they have a band which you'd think is dumb but apparently that makes them attractive to, like, bowl committees. And they have a band, which you'd think is dumb. But apparently that makes you attractive to bowl committees as well. So, maybe we'll get in a bowl. Did you watch any of 10 Star?

Not yet. Not yet. I just been watching stupid YouTube videos. Man, I promise you. Watch the first, give it 10 minutes. And you'll be like, oh, okay. All right. I'm sold. Like, ten minutes, and you'll be like, oh, okay, all right, I'm sold. It might just be five minutes.

I'm telling you, as soon as you dip your toes in this water, you're going to want a full cup. I moved from Tin Star. I like that, that you're going to want a full cup, playing on the tin cup. Anyway, I've only watched one episode of that, and I agree it's good. I switched over to Stranger Things Season 2 to watch that, and it is not very good.

Some of the things and the writing and the lines are so stupid it's distracting. There's one thing where like one of the kids i won't spoil anything but he you know the one who got fucked with last season by having to go into the upside down and all that and even last year like oh my god the upside down like i wish the first adult they told that concept too is like we appreciate your help your kids we're gonna call it something different uh from here on out because that's stone cold retarded i'm not gonna do that and like one of the kids asked the kid now they're like so you're having like visions of of you know that other world and he's like yeah like they're like

memories but they're like now memories and then they're like tell us about these now memories and i'm like oh oh my god just call them visions just call them visions like it's like i'm having a memory but it's in the present if only there was a word for it like a vision something established in this sort of realm like no now and so now like like adults will ask this kid like in the season like you know any more now memories to report to us and it's like oh my god that's so poorly written and stupid and then some of the dialogue between the kids is like it plausible you know or know, suspension of disbelief rather, like where kids don't talk that way in real life as they do in shows, you know, because adults are writing the lines.

But some of the ways they talk, like it's so clever and, you know, tongue in cheeky that it's like, this is, this is, you've pulled me out of the moment. Two seconds ago, this kid with teeth problems was having trouble doing basic math. And now he's breaking out like Nietz quotes or something like no no anyway it's not nearly as good as the first season i haven't gotten into it yet i watched a few minutes of the first episode and i i couldn't be bothered i've been watching this show called peep show on uh it's on hulu like that's the easiest way to watch it it's a british comedy show that's

really fucked up um it's they're they're just terrible people um and really have a hard time in life they're just real losers uh he's got kind of an inner monologue going a lot of the time and like he's insecure because his balls are enormous apparently and like he's always scared the girls are gonna see his balls and uh he's just always just never getting the girl like getting close to getting the girl and then like his friend will like fake od and ruin it like his friend's just a real cunt i've got another friend who's just a flame it he's smoking crack in their apartment he's like is he smoking crack drugs a coup mark get with it it's the times and he's like but the crack crack it's a it's a

pretty fucked up show and uh but it's i don't know it's easily digestible there's not much of a storyline going on you can you can watch an episode or two and then zone out it's it's kind of like youtube i'm not sure it makes for a compelling story but i had a really amazing weekend i did that uh paramotor thing I talked about. So the mission was to launch from my house and to land at the airport where like Wilbur and Orville Wright took off. And we did it. And like we had three fuel stops away on the way.

Everywhere we landed, we were like celebrities. Literally no fewer than like six or seven people would come up, take pictures, ask questions about him. They'd see the police were coming at one of the gas stations. The cop came. If there weren't wires, he was going to stop traffic

and let us launch in the street. And I had mechanical problems at one point, just a loose belt. And the guy like took me in the back of his pickup and drove me to his dungeon where his tools were. And I tightened it up in a real hurry and flew away trying to beat the sun. And it was like,

it was like a life experience. Like it was just a one day thing, but it was really cool. And then we were going to fly the next morning. So we grabbed like, you know, the hotel luggage carts where you stack your suitcases on, we put the lawnmowers on that and it took him like a mile away to the,

not the lawnmowers, the paramotors, same thing. And, and, and we're like filling up at the gas station with our paramotors on the hotel luggage carts. And it was really, really neat. It was a big deal.

At the hotel, a crowd gathered. Like there were like 10 drunks. I don't know why they were drunk. 10 drunks? Yeah, I got the idea it was like a bachelor party or something. Let me take that for a spin. One of them, yeah. They're like, can he wear it?

One guy was really, really interested in it So we let him put it on and they took his picture They said it was his birthday That might have been a lie But it was like, well, it was your birthday Yeah, I guess, you know, put this thing on And, I don't know It was cool. That sounds like a lot of fun.

It's no pair of pajama jeans, but... No, I got your pictures and I was like, ah, they did get out the luggage carts. That's hilarious. That's funny. How long was the total flight between the time you left and the time you made it? So we had some mechanical problems.

If I were to throw it out, let me just think real quick. Like, it landed around 7-ish, and we launched around 10. So that's nine hours. But I bet we spent more than three at, like, fuel stops and stuff. Yeah. That does sound fun. Yeah. That's really cool.

It was neat. And then there were a bunch, you know, everyone else was on paramotors, and we're all the same sort of like, you know, can we believe we're taking these ridiculous machines and doing something semi-useful with them? Like, you never do. I launch from my yard, I land in my yard. That's what I do.

You know, to suddenly, like, even if it was a four-wheeler, or that's what you called it, right, four-wheeler? Even if it was four-wheeler, and you're like, you know what? Let's take these things 250 miles to the beach. Like, that'd be an adventure. But butt fan is, you know what? Let's take these things 250 miles to the beach. That'd be an adventure. But Buttfan is that times two, I think. So it was a cool thing to do. Yeah, that sounds fun.

I have some footage I need to edit up, make a video. So good times. I don't know. I'm still on a high from it. As soon as I got back, the next day, I'm on Google Maps. Like, all right, what's interesting within 250 miles from Raleigh? That's about as much as I can fly in a day, I think. I'm like, yo, we could go to the mountains.

We could go here. It doesn't even have to be that interesting. If I just found, if 200 miles from here, there was a good diner with a field next to it, I'd make a mission out of it. Did you get your bear spray? Yes. Yeah, the bear spray is currently sitting in the cup holder of the golf cart. And as a matter of fact, it's trash day. If I go out there, it could go down tonight.

But we have literally, I think talking to him did the trick. I tried not to be an asshole. Like I said, as I told it the first time, I've had an aggressive dog. I'm empathetic to it. asshole like like i like i said in the as i told the first time i've had an aggressive dog i'm empathetic to it but um i uh haven't seen the dog since i spoke to him so it seems like they've decided like oh i guess we can't have an aggressive dog roaming the neighborhood anymore that's good hopefully you never have to use it i watch a good story if it gets time to that i watch some videos of people using bear mace on different things.

Bears. One where a guy used it on a person. It's very effective. I really hope that you get to use it. That'll be fun. If you ever get in a paramotor race, if you could rig up two cans of bear mace to spray behind you, like wacky racers or whatever, where you get in front and you just missed the people behind you, like wacky racers or whatever, where you get in front

and you just missed the people behind you. It wouldn't be enough for them to 100% know maybe what it was, but it would be enough to really upset them. The World Paramotor Championships are going on right now. You've probably been watching it.

There's this high drama. The French team team pulled out they said it was too dangerous this year and uh that's that's fun like them well they're so basically when you push the speed bar it makes it so that turning is super dangerous right like picture your wing going through the air like this, you know, tilt it up. And then to get your wing in its fastest configuration, you sort of straighten it out. But if you pull the brakes, this being the trailing edge, it pulls the brake down a bit. And that has the effect of lifting it and crumples the front of the wing and they crash. So you can't steer while you're in your fastest mode. That's the takeaway from that.

And the goal is to race around these pylons in, like, figure eights. So they go real straight, they go real fast, and then they, like, quick get off the speed bar and make their turn. Part of the course was over land, which isn't how you're supposed to set up the course. And the French team is like no like no we're all pulling out collectively we're not going to crash on the ground people are crashing though no one's crashed on the ground yet but i'm watching them just like

take these they fall from like 50 feet in the air into the water and uh well if you're going to get some more viewership on the world championship paramotor racing it's like nascar if all of a sudden they were like whoa whoa whoa that turn is far too sharp all right like like we could hit the wall and you're like yeah yeah yeah yeah you will hit the wall someone will on the other hand nascar does do stuff right like all of a sudden it's like restrictor plates for everybody h Hans devices, roll cages, you know. Like, NASCAR tries to keep their drivers safe. Yeah, and the ratings go down.

That's a bunch of bullshit. I quit watching as soon as they put those rear-facing wings on the cars so that when they start spinning, it decelerates them. It's like if the car's going backwards, like, flaps pop up to slow them down. And to keep the car from, like, flaps pop up to slow them down, and to keep the car from flying into the air and flipping. You'll never get those old crazy bullshit

crashes where everybody's flipping through the air, and fireballs are going off. As soon as Dale... I remember when people died, alright? We were watching when Dale Earnhardt died. That was a good day. We got to see some real shit i'm not a nascar guy and i remember watching when dale died and the announcers were like oh that's a bad one and i to me i'm like i don't know it

looks like all the other ones like he kind of hit it's not like he went straight into the wall yeah he hit a wall and then like curved and stuff and like i i to me i was like i don't know it just looks like all the other crashes but they knew what they were talking about and there was a dead guy in there in class the teacher was like this is a this is a dark day this is you think we're gonna look back on this like we did when princess d died or, or when JFK was shot. And in Georgia, they still do. Yeah. Right.

Dude, you, you think you, I see people with trucks with like the number three on the back and like remember forever. They have, they're, they commemorate this,

this dead guy on the back of their pickup truck. You know, this guy who drove cars fast. It's, it's it's he was an asshole was they called him the intimidator for a reason he hit people it seems like he's like right up your alley for what you wanted in that sport though right well he's called the intimidator and he would bump people on purpose yeah he crashed people on purpose yeah that's what he did he was a he was

a that's a good point less aggressive driver and who cares it's a silly sport they're driving in circles like like yeah yeah that's got to be one of those sports where it's just all about the environment like the environment it's the biggest spectator sport in the world right like like like they'd be like a quarter million people with those things it's it's enormous because the track's so big they just got seating all the way around. I've never been to one. You can't get me to go to a spectator event when I can get a better viewing experience here at home with my television. Just look at football.

Football's kind of annoying when you don't have the yellow and red lines showing you. You're so right. But you went to a hockey game. Aren't they better in person yeah hockey games yeah that and that's because of the small rink size you know the small playing area and the fact that you can get right down there on them late like that that colorado game we went to that that was excellent although i was at a thrashers game and i was like i don't know maybe like 20 tickets or something like that. That was lame.

That was much less fun than what Taylor and Shiz and I did. There's a reason the Thrashers left twice. They did not put good teams on the ice for the most part. We had a good year that year. I had one. And Kovalchik.

The last Hurricanes game I went to, I took notice of a couple things. Of course, there's the skill difference, right? I'm like, wow, they take like two strides from blue line to red line, to center ice. That takes me five strides. Oh my god, how are they...

Why is every stride so effective? The other thing, their ice was really white, whereas when you play in the beer league, it gets kind of gray or something over the course of the season. And all their uniforms were perfect, like it was the first day they wore them. And meanwhile, mine, you know, they look terrible. They look awful. It's annoying to me.

I know I'm not paying for their sticks or anything, but the players who just break sticks you know every period like like a pass will go wrong and they'll be like fuck and break it it's like oh there's 300 more dollars yeah break another one asshole like in basketball like you don't see them like miss a shot and get the ball back and just fuck that ball get another one out here. That is totally the parallel. Goalies do it too. Goalies break their stick over the nets or players just throw a temper tantrum.

Yeah, but he was a regular player. I enjoy the tantrum. When you don't have an outlet for that rage, you get basketball players storming into the stands and just whooping the shit out of random attendees. i'd rather watch that right hey that guy deserved it he was next to a dude who threw beer that's right that's exactly what happened he should have known not to be sitting in the section he paid for

i think the only equivalent to that is when basketball when they break the uh the uh the glass. The backboard, yeah. Oh, Shaq used to do it. Shaq would sit there and claim that he did the physics on what it took. Like, mass times velocity equals force, and it takes it. Shut the fuck up, dude. You were just grabbing the room. You weighed 300 pounds when you reached up and grabbed something.

Of course, you don't need math. Did they make a rule against it? People don't even try it anymore. Or maybe they strengthened the nets. They just strengthened it, I think. I don't know if any of that's true. He used to break the backboard and then he used to tear down the whole

mechanism. Well, not just the rim, but the brim and the backboard and the arm would come all tilting over. Jesus. There's cameraman under there. It isesus yeah there's camperman under there yeah yeah it is a little dangerous he's under there you know he would get it i don't think anyone ever got hurt but yeah he's big he could take it yeah he would have been fine i don't know you're giving him a lot of credit i think if annette falls on someone he's hurt you see that

picture of him and demetrius johnson next to? No. He takes shits bigger than Demetrius Johnson. Demetrius Johnson is just barely above Shaq's waist. It's absurd. Demetrius Johnson, for people that don't know, is probably the most skilled, best pound per pound UFC fighter to have ever lived. There's a couple guys. No, it's GSP.

Okay. Demetrius Johnson, gsp and anderson silver i think is the shortlist you know that that's those are the three that that people talk about and uh uh but he weighs 125 pounds so i wonder how big a man he can beat up john jones i i think i think because of strength of schedule demetetrius Johnson falls behind a John Jones, who cheated his way through the whole thing, or a George St. Pierre. Because hasn't George won three belts now in two different weight classes? That's exactly right, yeah.

And John Jones, that's a good – I guess I didn't count him because of the whole drug thing. Yeah. Also, strength of schedule is a funny thing, and it's not just fighting. It's any sport, right? Like Michael Jordan didn't have a great rival because he dominated. Am I right on that? Like who was his rival? Ewing?

Magic. Elijah Wan? Magic. Charles Barkley. Really? Like I think of Magic and Bird, right? Charles Barkley never won a single time, right? Charles Barkley's rivalry with Michael Jordan was much like my own.

Completely winless. So does that make Jordan less of a player or more dominant? And that's the argument that you could use on the other side of the DJ thing. I don't know. It just seems like... We're going to find out when TJ whips his ass. That. Oh.

So people don't know TJ fights in the weight class above 135 as opposed to 125. And he thinks he can make 125. And he called out TJ. I'm sorry. He called out Demetrius Johnson, DJ. And he said no. He didn't want to fight.

He wanted to fight a guy who was always in his weight class so that he could, I think, break the consecutive title defense record. Well, he did it. And now he's talking about a money fight, and TJ wants a money fight. And he's like, look, I'll go down to 125 and I'll whip your ass. Man, if he beats the scale, I want to see that fight so bad yeah i i absolutely do that'll be a big fight uh he talked about how he'd do it he's like yeah i'd have to lean down i have to uh you know lose some of this muscle mass um but i can absolutely hit that weight and uh

i i think he can why he looked incredible. TJ looked incredible in the ring. Maybe better than Costa, just a miniature version. Like his core is just absurd. Like every bit of him is absurd. TJ looked amazing. Interesting thing about TJ. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought there was a break.

He could shed that weight and get down there. He never looks bad, right? Like if you catch Jon Jones between fights, he doesn't even look that athletic. He gets straight up fat. There's a couple other guys who just get into shape during camp. TJ just lives the lifestyle

of always being really, really fit. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if he can do it. He says he can do it, so what do I know? I want it. I want it. I know I want it.

Yeah. I want TJ to get whooped. I want Demetrius Johnson to lose. That's what I want. I like these super fights. I'll tell you what I want. What I really want is GSP versus Conor. I want GSP versus Conor.

I want that fight at 155. At 155, 155 i do too i gsp says he can make it i don't know what i don't know yeah that's that's what i want and like rogan was talking about this he's like because they were shitting on madison square garden they're like it's old and run down he's like like muhammad ali doesn't fight there anymore like like that's it there used to be amazing things there but like not anymore rogan was like rogan started talking about the coliseum he's like imagine that if he had gsp versus connor in the coliseum and i was like oh that would be incredible like imagine like like like the low camera and you can see like the the walls and stuff all decayed.

There's only seating room for 1,200 people or something like that, so it'd be this small crowd. Isn't the Colosseum also the name of a giant football where USC plays? I have no idea, but I'm talking about the real Colosseum in Rome. I wonder which one they were talking about. They were talking about the ancient Colosseum like in rome right i wonder which one they were talking about they were talking about the ancient coliseum as well okay okay yeah no when i heard coliseum i'm thinking that 80 000 seat place where i think i'm going the other way yeah yeah we're going to the ancient coliseum like where bruce lee and uh and um what's fucking hakeem a lot no uh karima

duljabar um it's... Chuck Norris. The white guy, Chuck Norris. Yeah, Chuck Norris in, I can't remember which movie, but Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris fight in a fake Coliseum. It's so bad. It's like forward screen projection or whatever they call it, where they fake that

they're in the Coliseum, but man, I would love to see something like that. I don't know if it's... It's not feasible, I guess. But GSB said he would come back at 155 when he was teasing this whole comeback in February or whenever. I think he'd make 155.

He just seems like such a professional. He said he was small for 170. He never seemed small to my eye. Yeah, he's so jacked. Apparently, really muscular guys can drain more water, cut more weight than fat guys.

The muscle is more dense than fat. He could lose the muscle too. He would have to. It would be interesting. I want to see. Imagine if that's the same card dj versus tj gsp versus connor on one card yeah that'd be incredible i love that and then you get

you know maybe do that rose uh joanna rematch because that's got to come next for rose they got to run that thing back they got to do that again yeah i usually when there's a rematch the same thing happens but it's like well that wouldn't happen again that was a one in a million right yeah right rose comes flying arm bars are like oh okay all right did you see the one where rose won by flying arm bar they so for people that don't know rose has a youtube channel hyper die She doesn't really do it anymore, but she used to. And four or five years ago, they vlogged their whole day on a Rose fight night. And there she is ahead of time, like nervous and such. And then they get the fight. Her fiance, Pat Barry, boyfriend at the time, was just so excited for her win. It was so genuine and so

awesome. You love it. She won by flying armbar if i recall and uh after the fight she's just crying with joy just tears you know they can't believe how great things are she's really sweet that's i've liked her since before she was in the u.s did you see her fight against the karate hottie yeah fucking face kicks her and then rear naked chokes her and there's blood just oozing out of her nose. That was hardcore. Her fight against Paige Van Zandt was one of my favorites. Good. Yeah. I enjoyed that too. Paige needed a good ass whooping.

I don't like that she's just a pretty face to sell Reebok shit. I like when she catches a good ass whooping oh I like Paige too I've never seen Paige ever give an interview where she didn't come off as really nice and like yeah of course she's nice and likable and pretty and but I'm watching people beat each other's skulls in like that's what I'm here for like she's pretty good at that

not against Rose she wasn't not against Rose she wasn't. Not against Rose she wasn't. No. Well, actually, that fight went... Did it go five rounds? I forget. But I remember it being long and hard. Paige Van Zandt did not win. It wasn't like it was a close fight. But she took a tremendous amount of abuse. And that's when she cemented herself, in my eyes,

as a fighter. A fighter is not just someone who goes in there, touches you on the nose. I guess that's a fighter, right? You know, like a fighter is not just someone who goes in there, touch a death's you on the nose. I guess that's a fighter, but someone who doesn't give up when the going gets tough. Like that's a kind of fighter.

She did tap to the choke. Very fast. That choke went. Did she? And she went. One, two, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. Her face was a bloody mess. And her face is her fortune. And she was, one, two, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. Her face was a bloody mess. And her face is her fortune.

And she was just like, yeah. I was thinking that. You guys are the ones worried about this face. I'm in here. Yeah. She was a fighter. She has a fighter's heart, a fighter's soul. I like Paige Van Zandt.

She's not as good as Thug, I guess. But she's a fighter on the inside. For Taylor's benefit, she is the best-looking UFC fighting woman. She's very hot, and Rose is dropping those elbows on her. And you're like, oh, man, if she hits one of those right, it's going to be like a fucking battle axe hit this chick in the forehead. It's going to be bad. I don't want to watch a pretty girl get beat up.

Right? That makes it sadder. Both of those that I just... Michelle Waterman, I think is her name. The Karate Hottie. She's Asian. Very pretty. And this chick, Paige Van Zandt, also very pretty. She is very pretty. I can put her on the screen for people watching the video version.

That's what she looks like. She's pretty. Yeah, yeah. And in the video version. That's what she looks like. She's pretty. Yeah, yeah. She's still pretty. They heal up pretty well. They got a good cut man in the UFC. Yeah, GSP somewhere right now all stitched up.

I was very happy. When Bisping was throwing those elbows from the bottom, I thought that was it. I was like, when they get back up, only one of these fighters is going to be able to see. If that cut had been here instead of here, that could have been the fight. I've asked Joe, what is that like to have blood in your eyes? He's like, have you ever opened your eyes in the shower?

He's like, it's like that, but red. I'm like, ah. And I used to do off-road racing a tiny bit. And I've had mud in my eyes like a really liquidy mud and uh the same sort of thing like it's just it's mud it's it's like having looking underwater but it's brown i've had milk in my eyes and that's about this yeah that's very hard to see through i can imagine it's just like blood or mud and uh yeah so so gsp was doing kind of a a different kind of blink like like a hard sort of trying to clear this off blink and and rogan pointed it out but uh you know he

he hit bisping just right and then he went down and finished him and and if you heard him talk about it afterwards you know he like he gave bisping some space to get up and then that exposed his back and he baited him into being able to take his back and uh he put the he put the rear naked choke on incorrectly and still made it work and uh yeah it was the wrong side but still his hands were hitting so well his hands were they it was it was way back here. There was nothing to grab onto. The escape was there.

Bisping could have potentially twisted his body in it. He only controlled the side that he didn't want to roll. The side he did want to roll, GSP didn't have good control on. He squeezed that man's head so hard his eye went straight. I'm sure if I was in that position, I'd have rolled properly as i'm sure if i was in that position i'd have rolled properly i'm sure his eyes looks the wrong way because he got it knocked silly one time and

he choked him so hard that thing looked in the right direction yeah bisping said he was going to retire if he lost then afterwards he was like i don't know what else to do. I really like money, so I think I'll keep fighting. He'll go fight in England on that English card. Liverpool card. They'll give him an easy fight.

He'll whip somebody's ass and he'll ride off into the sunset with another check. Taylor, what did you just look at? What did I just look at? What did I just look at? Can you say? Oh, just my oven clock. Okay. In your other apartment, you used to look over every so often,

and I always assumed you were looking at your girlfriend, like telling her time estimate or something. And I'm like, I don't know. I guess I shouldn't have asked. Maybe it was impolite, but I had to know. No, no. It's an oven clock, and the reason I was paying attention to it is because I'm like, it's already 7.23, and I'm like, oh, no, the whole time thing.

I need to switch that and fix that. It's only 6.23. There's a little look into my life totally behind the times on my oven clock. Everything's in shambles. Dude, it doesn't –'s again not a great story but because it gets dark at like 5 11 now i can totally go paramotoring land and still hit taylor's preferred 6 p.m pkn start time now like this time of year there's no conflict there are times in the summer where i'm like ah if the day starts with two I can't or t I can't

fly that's a good way to think of it for me that we can do earlier pkn now because I always hate this time of year because it's just depressing like by the time you're off work it's just dark and you're like oh well I guess what I want to do uh well I feel like doing nothing because there's no sunlight to even take advantage of but it's been so glum around here the past week. Just like constant cloudiness and rain. I think that's what's coming our way now. It started today. We had nice weather.

We mowed yesterday. We had a crazy thunderstorm roll through today with hail and lightning and trees getting blown around. Pretty big hail. Yeah, that's notable. I don't know if I would say... Kind of dime-sized, I guess. Large hail.

You could see it on the ground scattered about. We just had that depressing, leaky, gray sky thing. Yeah, I hate that. It's hardly even... You wouldn't use an umbrella for this kind of falling mist, but there it is. I guess it's a drizzle. There's a of falling mist, but you know, there it is. I guess it's a drizzle. There's a word for it,

but somehow that doesn't, it's just enough to ruin outdoor activity. Basically just enough. Yeah. I, I was toggling the windshield wipers between full, slow and off. All right.

Call it a wrap. Yeah. Yeah. All right. PKN episode one 68 rain talk.
