Starting point is 00:00:00 There it is, we're live. Painkiller Nearly, episode 192. Alright, so based on popular demand, we will only be discussing wings and hockey and fitness and UFC. So, uh,
Starting point is 00:00:16 fucking Mahega Megaman is doing crazy. The scourge of Kazakhstan, they call him. He gets kicked gets around goat heads or whatever the fuck that sport was. I don't even know what MMA Kyle's excited about. I don't know. We were being sarcastic, but I mean, if we were going to discuss MMA, and we're not,
Starting point is 00:00:41 Kevin Lee made Barbosa's eye look like a bloody vagina the other night uh so that was interesting i didn't watch but i guess we're not discussing it no no we won't discuss another thing we're not discussing wings that's what that's what he said that's what he said yeah um yeah yeah that was the first thing on my list it's such an interesting uh schism between the two groups that are discussing pka you know where like the subreddit is which is to be it is the smaller group but it's the more like hardcore i would say they a lot of them they're they're still pretty split but a lot of them a higher percentage of them are like i don't like wings talk as much the youtube comments as i was going through they seem
Starting point is 00:01:22 to really really like it. Of course. Yeah. Yeah, you'll never get a firm grasp on who wants what. I think the majority of people like Wingstalk, and those that don't like it need to understand that the whole reason the guest was there was for Wingstalk. He contacted us. He's like, hey, I want some Wingstalk. Some deep lore.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Yeah, that's what he was here for so this is related to wings talk but wings tings is back but i feel like sean ranklin if i'm getting his name right is the new king in this space are we seeing it this way all over yeah yeah well i thought we weren't gonna do wings talk we're. We're not talking about Wings. Oh, we're talking about Wings Channel. This is Wings Talk Talk. Ah! A loophole! Suck it, haters!
Starting point is 00:02:14 How many layers of irony are we on? Yeah, Sean Rankin got 50,000 views in about 48 hours on his most recent video. Yeah, and I hear what you're saying about Wingstings being back. And I could be wrong about this. I'm really not as into it as I jokingly say I am.
Starting point is 00:02:32 So I'm not sure. But I think that maybe someone who just like, you know how you can change your channel name to anything? I think someone may have changed their channel name to Wingstings and then just ripped his stuff and is using it. That's possible, but I'm not really sure. It could be. I'm not looking that carefully. I guess you could look at all his... Oh, you think they took his whole history of videos, too?
Starting point is 00:02:54 I don't know. I haven't looked into that. It just seems like when the intro comes on, it's kind of blurry, like someone ripped it and then re-uploaded it. The God of War stuff made me want to play God of War. And I might have this wrong. So I don't mean to insult his gaming skills. I don't want to get banned.
Starting point is 00:03:13 But it seemed like he had spent about an hour and 20 minutes on the first initial Gollum-like characters. And I mean Gollum from Lord of the Rings. That kind of describes the kind of character he was fighting. There was a couple of them. And he spent like an hour doing that. Have you seen this, Taylor? So God of War, the new God of War game came out. And it's sort of a quick time event game.
Starting point is 00:03:42 That's how I always knew it. But like watching the new game play. First of all, Wings is an excellent gamer. And this is right up his alley. But he was really struggling with it. He put it on like the most difficult difficulty level. And the game is like, are you fucking sure, bro? Because this means you are actually a god of war when you play on this level.
Starting point is 00:04:02 And he's like, I'm an adult, all right? Just give it to me. And he's like, yes. And he's like i'm an adult all right just give it to me and he's like yes and he's like are you really really sure because there's no going back when you die you die you will be kratos himself incarnate if you play the game at this level and he's like yes yeah are you sure yes yes yes you have to know for like a decade i've been hearing wings say like i play every game on the hardest level. It's like a part of his sense of self-worth, beating games on their hardest level. He's platinumed everything, which is, you know, getting all the achievements.
Starting point is 00:04:35 But apparently God of War is another level on just how difficult it was. Because Wings is not bad at games. But God of War made it look like he was. He was like, what am I doing wrong? Why can't I beat Schmeagle? It looked so frustrating. In my head, I was like, man, just drop it down to hard. You don't have to go to easy or normal.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Just drop it down to hard. I feel like nobody is going to mind. Or start raging now and feed into it. But he didn't either. He got really frustrated. And it was sad to mind, or start raging now and feed into it. But he didn't either. He got really frustrated. And it was sad to see, honestly. I was like, I wanted to see him win. I really did.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Because I'm interested in that game. I don't have a PlayStation 4, but it made me want to get one. It's got cool look in combat. I've never played personally, but I've watched people play that game before, one of the previous ones. And it's an aesthetically very cool game. The way you fight, it's really fluid. The guy himself is like covered in like the kind of sand or white shit or whatever that they would put on people.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Or what I imagine they put on them before they go fight in the Coliseum, you know, where they're like whiting them all up. And then they give them like red stripes. It's a very cool game. I appreciated what he was going through. cool game i appreciated what he was going through because um so i'm not as good at gamers wings but i do have the same kind of attitude where it's like i will bang my head against this brick wall hundreds of times until that wall gives in you know and and that i did i did a stream where i did um what is the last scene called in cod 4 where you, where you're on the plane trying to rescue the guy? Oh,
Starting point is 00:06:07 oh shit. Like the, the slow motion one where you have to kill the guy. Did you guys do that with the headshot? Yeah. Yeah. That was, that was pretty hard when you put it on veteran or whatever the toughest one
Starting point is 00:06:18 was. Cause it was like, there's not enough time for any of this. My club. My club. Yeah, that's great. That's exactly it.
Starting point is 00:06:24 So I did, i had done i'd beaten cod and then i had become like a multiplayer guy and i was even a pretty well-known youtuber and i was like you know i don't have the mile high club achievement i'm gonna go get this on a live stream and i just beat my head against that wall and i i don't know how many times i tried it i might have tried it like 150 times on stream, but I had done it like 100 times privately prior to that. It was really hard for me. I just wasn't feeling it.
Starting point is 00:06:52 It's hard. And I was getting some bad advice in the chat, you know, like go the other way, try this, try that. And I didn't know that I was getting bad advice. And that led me to like down the wrong path a couple times that I might not have taken had I not been live streaming. Is that the most difficult thing you've ever done in gaming, like that? You know what?
Starting point is 00:07:12 For me personally, there was another part in COD 4 that was even harder. There was no fighting in the war room. It's a time... That was difficult. Yeah. What happened was I'd gotten myself in a bit of a pickle like so what happens is if you have enough time it'll do like an auto save and then when you die you pick up from there i must have hit an auto save when i just barely had enough
Starting point is 00:07:39 time which meant that i really pretty much had to clear this level while sprinting you know it would have been easier to start over again and I I just it I that took me several days that section yeah that one was hard you're like invading a missile silo and like the deal is like the missiles are about to launch like nuclear missiles and you've got to like invade the missile silo kill i'm gonna guess 40 50 guys who are in like five man seven man squads as you go like through these tunnels and like it's it's it's brutal and you know you're picking up weapons as you go and it's timed right so like i hate timed levels like uh borderlands is a game where there's no clock on it and oftentimes in borderlands if you have all the patience in the world it's an easy game you're like oh look if i stand way out here in the
Starting point is 00:08:31 fucking distance he doesn't even shoot back it's like he doesn't see me so i just put like you know like a thousand headshots in this guy even though i'm four levels lower than i should be when it's time like you gotta run you get in there, and it's very difficult. So that for me was harder, I think, than Mile High Club. Sometimes Borderlands was pretty easy, though. You'd be up against Terramorphius or Progenitus or whatever the big monster was.
Starting point is 00:08:56 But if you get low, like... He's the scat man all right damn it you know what the hardest cod level for me was was no russian because no matter how hard I tried I couldn't kill everyone in the airport you run out of ammo and you just have to start knifing those people waiting in security well they hide in please no there should be an achievement for that I love when there's a mission I love whenever you
Starting point is 00:09:40 get to a mission because I thought it would be one it was not though my favorite mission I think was Halo 2 though the the final mission of halo 2 when you're driving uh like a warthog uh like to safety as the planet explodes or the ring explodes whatever it is and it's like and you're like you're driving through this path as the like land crumbles beneath you and at the end you hit a ramp and you jump out of the warthog and grab the bottom of the spaceship and like crawl your way up and it's it's so it like get you remember how the warthog had a mind of its own in the air though yeah it would like like launch off perfectly straight you'd be like no no no no because it would just start
Starting point is 00:10:19 listless like you could turn in midair and it would act and it would turn it like halo oh man halo got me so pumped i was so pumped when halo 2 ended and he's like master chief like ends up on the like side of like the gigantic alien drop ship or whatever it is and it goes through a rift like wormhole and it shows up like next to earth and and uh they're the like the general or whatever is like wait a minute we're getting up we're getting a signal that's that's spartan 117 master chief what are you doing on that giant alien drop ship because he's like hanging out of the side of a ship the size of a town he's like finishing the fight sir it's and then the end and it ends it ends it just goes to credits
Starting point is 00:10:57 i was standing in that midnight release game with all those stinky fuckers. I have a Halo story. I'm finishing the fight. I played on a live stream, and I won't mention names because it's all ancient history now. He's just frozen there smiling. So there was a Halo game where you could play with four people i don't remember which one it was but it was a co-op oh okay all right so so halo odst i played it in a live stream with three people one of them was a girl and uh i don't know we're just banging around going through the game it seemed pretty easy it might have been a short campaign compared to most games but the girl at least like pretended that she really liked me that she thought my voice was
Starting point is 00:11:50 amazing and uh i might have had like a scheduled upload or or maybe she just noticed a video or something but she's like what do you have a new video out it's like yeah you know whatevs and she's like you can hear her playing it and pretending to be masturbating to the sound of my voice on stream and uh it was just like flattering i'm sure that's that's not the first time a lady's masturbated to the sound of woody's gamer tag voice i i think it might be there's a new Mail Monday. I know there are a couple Jackoff questions being answered. Someone's going to cream their pants in a sleepover or some shit.
Starting point is 00:12:32 I need some advice on how to avoid that. Yeah, I don't know. It's just one of the weird takeaways I have from my whole YouTube career. It's like, oh, yes, yes. And I'm just like, I think I wrapped up the stream like politely like yeah you know they called it called it jack you wouldn't like this at all that
Starting point is 00:12:50 was yeah like i single woody might have played along with it hummed put that yeah put that bass right on your pussy or something that's what stern did stern did that yeah i'm telling taylor like like it's it's sort of it's shown in his movie like you should see private parts like howard stern's movie it's actually good like it was so good it was one of those things where like a non-actor does a movie and it's so good that they're like i can never do another movie again because that actually worked that was my peak yeah he peaked so hard like like that's that's part of how he got the the the nickname the king of all media because at one point he had the number one radio show the number one movie in the country and the number one book
Starting point is 00:13:36 in the country like simultaneously and and they and they dubbed him the king of all media and he was like oh never gonna fuck that up no no we're not gonna bomb at another movie uh but but there's a part where like this and in the in the movie it's a gorgeous woman calls in and tells him like she's hot for him or whatever and he's like and he gets her to take her big speakers like she's got this big like gigantic speakers like lay them on the ground and straddle them a straddle like the uh the subwoofer and he starts and she's just like making her come on air with his voice it's it's great that does sound pretty funny i need to listen to some classic stern i i could definitely recommend you some of the best bits one of my favorite is uh you know he's got the whack pack or whatever there's a guy a guy called... What's his name? It's Eric... Eric the Retard?
Starting point is 00:14:25 No. I think it's Eric the Retard. I'm spacing. I haven't had much sleep. But anyway, he gets a retarded guy who's a comment on the show. And basically, they dress him up like an astronaut in studio. And they tell him he's going to the moon. Not...
Starting point is 00:14:43 He's going to pretend to go to the moon. He's going to the moon. And here's your spaceship. pretend to go to the moon. He's going to the moon. And here's your spaceship. They've got a cardboard box mocked up like a spaceship. They put him in it. I think you've told me this before. Yeah, they shake it. And they're like, you're on the moon.
Starting point is 00:14:54 What's it like? It's scary. He starts freaking out. And they had to be like, all right, you're coming back now. You're coming back now. Oh, he's back. And they open it up and he comes out a little tearful. He's like, allful Like I went too far
Starting point is 00:15:08 He probably came out a little less retarded though Mmm, he does become an astronaut. He did know that he didn't actually go to the moon when he came out. I know No, like that's see that's the benefit of being retarded. No hole in the ceiling from better benefit of being retarded there's no hole in the ceiling from beth up like little things he could have put the pieces together no i couldn't do that uh you know all the characters are good but yeah i could recommend to you some uh some excellent stern um there's some what's what's the funnier moments aren't even on the surface funny like if i describe them to you're like but like like you know it's when they start harping and picking on the ancillary characters of the show until that character breaks and has a rageful moment. Like Fred, if I remember correctly, bought his mother a cake for some anniversary birthday day kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:15:59 And he got the frozen cookie puss cake from Dairy Queen or whatever. And they start making fun of frozen cookie puss cake from like Dairy Queen or whatever. And they start making fun of the cookie puss cake for 45 minutes. They're mocking him for buying his mother this cake until he finally snaps and starts like yelling at people. Is this an erotic cake? No, no. Or is that just a silly name from DC? It's just a silly name. I'm having a hard trouble.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Yeah, let me show you. I'm having trouble picturing just like a cock cake cock cake here's my question though so i've watched a lot of stern i've seen them pick on each other i they seem to get really mad they argue they fight etc now what i want to know is right like they go the cookie puss he snaps he gets crazy he's like you guys you didn't shut up it's's cake. You're my mom. When they go to commercial, are they like, yeah, that's some good radio we just put out. I think it depends. So I bet they do. So some of the characters, you know, do that and they don't like that. So they actually hit them with like personal stuff like J.D. They they have a guy
Starting point is 00:17:03 named John Hind on the show who I think may have had a background in actual investigative journalism okay like like he's the kind of guy who would go like look into momar gaddafi's like and this is a retarded guy no no no no no no no this is a a guy with an investigative journalism background named john you got me thinking that they're all retarded no No, no. This guy's employed by the show. He's like a credentialed journalist. He's the guy who would be like looking into Muammar Gaddafi's like sexy bodyguards or whatever and like getting the dirt on him. But instead, they'll assign him to members of the staff. All right, you follow J.D. around for the next two weeks. Find every weird, embarrassing, odd thing about him.
Starting point is 00:17:45 I want you to look under his fingernails. Get the dirt. Come back. We mock him on the air. The mystery of the missing chromosome. And he comes back and he's like, well, it turns out that JD doesn't wash his sheets. And I mean ever.
Starting point is 00:17:59 It's been over a year since JD has washed his sheets. And then they mock JD endlessly about that. They find out that JD spends thousands of dollars a month on cam girls and has them have them do weird shit, like put peanut butter on their pussy and have their little dog lick it off and stuff. That's more embarrassing than the sheets thing. But I also question that guy's investigative integrity. If he's willing to make a year-long claim after two weeks, how can you believe him? Well, becaused admitted it lately and and then there was always having an investigative thing when's the last time you
Starting point is 00:18:28 change your sheets oh when they disintegrate i get another one they follow him around and like observe him like he's a zoo animal or something he'll count the how many times jd taps his foot at his desk at one point it was 180 times in one minute. Like, dear God, is there something wrong with you, JD? What did he eat for lunch? After the 180th tap, it's once again time to masturbate. Stuff like that. But yeah, I could recommend some good clips. It's fun to watch them. I guess it's kind of like ONA, where you can't describe the bits that well without making them sound.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Because ONA, it'll be like, oh, and they just made fun of this, you know, clearly not fully there Zimbabwean pilot who made a fake helicopter. And it's like, that doesn't sound that funny. But then when you see it, it's hysterical. Oh, that's great. Have you seen that one, Woody, where ONA makes fun of the, oh, I love that shit. And I still wonder to this day. Lieutenant Zimbabwe. wonder to this day if you got that if you got lieutenant zumbumbe aside with no camera and you're like dude what the fuck he's always funny joke he's funny joke right yes yes but but or
Starting point is 00:19:34 amazing actually a shopping cart made a helicopter shopping cart and no parking signs of course i think like the speed that he said he flew it at was like not at all tenable like got it up to 32 miles per hour and it's like oh what but how just a giant clunker
Starting point is 00:19:58 that weighs as much as five Volvos yeah I need more shit like that because I can only re-listen to the old ONA with Patrice shit so many times, even though they are pretty much nine out of ten of them are hilarious. I was listening to an ONA, I think it was ONA, but there's so many clips of just the cast of characters that sometimes it seems like ONA, it's the same cast of characters,
Starting point is 00:20:19 but they're not even doing ONA. In any case, they were making fun of Howard Stern's daughter. Bill Burr was on there, I think. Pat on there uh and they're making fun of civilian she had done like a broadway style play where she's dressed absurdly she looked she looks like a pretty howard stern she's got a big honker big old nose and she she screamed she sing she scream singing about her vagina and so they keep playing like 10 second clips of her vagina and then they'll rip on her for like five minutes and i don't remember who was tapping out it may have been patrice but he was he's like that's that man's daughter that's that man's daughter y'all fucking up you know not only is it his daughter but it's
Starting point is 00:21:03 howard stern's daughter he's gonna hit that something but did you know i mean they had like the biggest or at least opie did more than anthony his his his way of hitting back i think and maybe taylor could help me was he went with he like got them behind the scenes with the upper management and kind of had had a lot of things happened to their show yeah they basically i they say that but i feel like almost like oh and a was the second biggest show on serious but it was like you know uh the way it's like oh now you know warren buffett's the second richest and it's like yeah but he's only worth like two-thirds of fucking uh bezos or whatever so it was like a second place but a huge chasm separated them and so ona clearly always had like an inferiority complex about it uh it
Starting point is 00:21:51 seemed more obvious with opie anthony seemed to just more like making fun of it like who robin like all his ridiculous voices and shit and yeah i feel like they were like oh stern's coming after us he you know it's like i don't think you're even on his radar, dude. Like, I don't think he goes to bed at night thinking, oh, man, Opie's catching up. No, he's like, I've got a stranglehold on this whole fucking industry. Didn't Stern do a thing where they couldn't be in the hallway at the same time as him or something like that? And to facilitate that, they, like, shut the building down when Stern was walking in and nobody could go into the hallway or enter the building that that was a thing yeah i think they did shut it down because uh because he's into there was one video because opie used to always try and make like viral videos and he was like outside of a glass door once at xm radio and sirius whatever headquarters and he's like oh
Starting point is 00:22:40 here he comes here comes a big special guy and then like howard and his team walk by he's like see we can't even be in there at the same time he doesn't like me filming him right now and was like doing that and it was like oh wow they really did kind of shut that whole floor down so ronnie the limo driver's walking behind him like like all ronnie's such a cunt like like i think you follow the show enough to know do you know ronnie the limo driver i don't know i'm sure what he does i know the name but like i i couldn't tell you why he's a cunt. He's got such a combative New York way of responding to everything. You could be like, oh, Ronnie, that's a nice shirt.
Starting point is 00:23:14 What the fuck you mean? What the fuck you mean it's a nice shirt? Yeah. What? He's always just so angry. It's got to be a bit. Because nobody can be that mad all the time. He's just such a fucking asshole.
Starting point is 00:23:28 There is a New York thing that I like. I like seeing it. I don't have it. But when I see something, I see it in politics. But there are people in the Trump universe who have hints of it. And I like watching it.'s all yeah i don't know about people for b or i whenever i was there i would always make sure to open the door for people just to see their reaction because i felt like they weren't used to that happening oh yeah after
Starting point is 00:23:56 you the fuck are you up to i feel like if you live in a city with that many people if you you'd get like more used to holding the door open right like trying to be polite or is that just my midwestern ass thinking may as well be polite like i it didn't i think that that's a class thing is what i think i think if you live in expensive apartment complex people are holding the door for each other if you live in one filled with i don't know, then they don't. Fair enough. Yeah, I don't know about that. I've never lived with a bunch of crims.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Have you been to New York, Taylor? No. Any time in there? I didn't enjoy it. I've been to so many cities, and that was one I just really didn't enjoy. I think the thing that got to me was when I was walking in Manhattan one day and I just realized that you couldn't see the horizon, that you were literally like, I don't know, there were so many buildings that so dense and for so far that all you could see the horizon was way up high and it was just sort of between building peaks. And I was like, ah, this is a
Starting point is 00:25:00 little claustrophobic now. It feels like I'm underground almost. I didn't care for that. So it's funny. That's how I feel about Harlan, Kentucky. I'm sure you've all been to Harlan, Kentucky. The New York of Kentucky. Harlan, Kentucky is a very poor sort of broken coal town, but maybe ex-coal town filled with opioid addicts and good off-roading, which is why I was there. And the geography of it is that you kind of stay in a valley,
Starting point is 00:25:34 and the mountains are on either side of you. And it's like, fuck, the sun comes up at 10 and goes down at 3.30 in the summer here. Like, Jesus Christ. Like, the horizon is so high that it takes forever for this to happen and uh but new york on the other hand when i go there like i see it as one of the most impressive accomplishments of humankind like if you go to chicago and philly is an even better example it's like yeah chicago rivals new york but it appears to be one
Starting point is 00:26:06 tenth the size of it the scale of how far new york is 50 stories dense just goes on and on and on it's way more sprawling than a city like chicago according to every picture not just sprawling but impressive sprawl like atlanta is very wide, LA, very wide. LA has 15 story buildings as far as the eye can see. A 15 story building is nothing in New York. That is a, that clearly needs to be ripped down and replaced with a 65. Yeah, you're wasting, you're losing money.
Starting point is 00:26:38 There's no way you can be a landlord with a 15 story building in Manhattan. It's not earning its keep. The real estate is so expensive yeah and that's like if you go to um is it called the freedom tower what's the new 9-11 building yeah yeah yeah freedom tower i think yeah if you go there and just get the view of it it's like oh my god like this thing is so built up so tall for so far you know it's not just like new york fuck even raleigh has like five of them they have thousands of buildings in this class it's it's something else they must be
Starting point is 00:27:14 concerned about it all just sinking into the ocean oh with all that weight the real risk is that it will turn over it doesn't just sink it capsizes we're gonna put a big tower over there we can't we need another tower on the starboard side of the city before like city is as big as a and then like even more impressive is like when you compare you know like those star comparison videos where they're like here's our sun and here's this other star and here's this other one and before you know it like the scale is so big you can't wrap your head around it like when you see like oh here's you know you know harlan kentucky and then here's you know raleigh and then chicago and then new york like you go from new york to like tokyo and it's mind-blowing
Starting point is 00:28:00 mind-blowing how big a city like tokyo oh Oh, it's not twice as big as New York. It's not three times as big. It's got like 30-plus million people there. Cities like New York and up, they just look like human termite mounds, you know? Does it annoy you? No, I don't care. Not that. Does it annoy you at all that Dubai is so impressive and
Starting point is 00:28:25 has those incredibly tall buildings? Yes. Don't you wish that America had the tallest building in the world? Yes. I don't care. That doesn't occur? It does to me. Whenever I see, like, oh, they're creating a new tower in Abu Dhabi
Starting point is 00:28:42 and it's going to be 8,000 meters tall. 8,000 meters? Wait, 24,000? How many miles is that? That's like four miles. That's insane. You know, I'm exaggerating, but whenever I see they're building a new one, and they do that thing where they do the comparison.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Here's the Statue of Liberty, and here's the former Twin Towers, and here's this tower they're building in Abu Dhabi. It's like a third bigger. What are we doing over here? Why can't our buildings be as tall? I've looked up the Tokyo stats because – You didn't know those dirty jabs outdo us. It didn't sit right with me that New York wasn't even competitive.
Starting point is 00:29:21 So here are some stats. New York has 8.6 million people, New York has 8.6 million people. And Tokyo has 13.6 million people. But the thing is, Tokyo has about just under 7,000 people per square mile. And New York has 28,000 people per square mile. That density that we're talking about how everything is 60 stories that's what that's the cool part about new york and you're discounting the fact that our people are much larger so that density uh number is not being read uh to its full measure much bigger
Starting point is 00:29:58 thinking yeah yeah no just like and i so i i don't know if it's still true philadelphia was like the fifth largest city in the country and then i looked at know if it's still true philadelphia was like the fifth largest city in the country and then i looked at it and it was like oh well they kind of cheated they just expanded the city boundary to make it bigger than you know some of the competitors um that's what tokyo did you know for most cities you have to look at metro area anyway because most cities are not structured like new york like that, you know? Like, if you look at Philly, like, you look at kind of the metro area, because that gives you a better feel for the size of, you know? Like, LA, that's another good example of that. You're right.
Starting point is 00:30:33 LA has parts of LA that hardly seem like city. So, yeah, anyway, yeah, New York is impressive to me. It blows me away. Absolutely. I remember when you and I were driving up there and you could see the Freedom Tower from New Jersey. I don't know, like so goddamn far away. And it's like, holy shit, look at that thing. Something about that driving from Jersey and you start seeing the exit signs from the Sopranos. It's like, yeah you woke up this morning.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Yes. Exactly. I just started humming that in my head too since you said it. I like the intro to that because you're like, man, this really is kind of a shithole. You're the king of a shithole. I always feel like, you know what? This is North Jersey.
Starting point is 00:31:26 The whole state's not being accurately represented. It's a very nice garden-y part down south. Yeah, they showed the Pine Barrens. That's how it is every time they show areas that you live in. Like with Gone Girl, that movie, they showed Missouri. And it was like, that's not where it's like in five percent of the state where i live you know well look at walking dead right like they show ton of tons of georgia and i'm like yeah it is that shitty that's accurate that's that's what it's
Starting point is 00:31:57 like there dude they uh i've been down there where they film i uh i've been down there where they film uh i was i was having lunch with a girl like maybe two months ago or something like that in sonoa georgia i think it is s-e-n-o-i-a and uh they film down there that's one of the locations they film at we're sitting there in the cafe and i kind of look over my shoulder because she i see her i see her eyes rise to to the window and so i look over my shoulder out the window, and there's a zombie walking down the street. And I don't mean like some jerk dressed himself up like Halloween. No. There is a movie-quality zombie walking with an arrow stuck through him,
Starting point is 00:32:36 like dragging himself through. And here comes another one. They're just walking through the streets. Only got 30 minutes for lunch. He's not like walking around casually he's like like he's he's just like dragging himself along the sidewall was he from the set you think is that the deal or is he just a big fan yeah just how annoying with that dude it'd be so funny to just try and make your way onto set in your own zombie outfit i love it i uh i'm honestly not sure which it was i think
Starting point is 00:33:07 it'd be cool if like i'm sorry to cut y'all kyle but if someone did that really well that slipped in something that didn't fit right like like their movie level zombie garb like kyle's describing but they quick throw on like a maga hat you know like a make america great again hat try to get it in there how's that one in rollerblades must have died while blading can we talk okay go ahead i was gonna say i i it kind of reminded me of in sedona arizona they have it's sort of it's a touristy town in this basin. You gotta drive down circular, down into it from mountains in Arizona.
Starting point is 00:33:50 It's beautiful there. Those big red rock formations are there everywhere. And they have a cowboy and Indian walking around the streets of the town there. And they are the most authentic cowboy and Indian pair you've ever seen. Like it'd totally be in a movie set. So much so, I walked with the cowboy and I was like,
Starting point is 00:34:07 is that a real gun? And he's like, yeah, yeah. I was like, is it loaded? Well, open carry. I was like, holy shit, that is a cowboy. They just have a cowboy. And I was a little afraid around the Indian. Like maybe he would start, you know, scalping some people.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Is that a functional bone? Yeah, he's... Give him cholera or something. Give him cholera? Yeah. Oh, I watched Terror. Barely. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Something about... The show's not called Terror? No, that's what I was thinking about. I think there's a new episode and I haven't seen it yet. Are there three episodes out now? There's like five, six. I'm waiting for it so I can binge it all at once. I'll't seen it. Are there three episodes out now? There's like five, six. I'm waiting for it so I can binge it all at once.
Starting point is 00:34:49 I'll have to ask you about the most recent episode. It was in large part dull. So I started watching Reddit and stuff. And then some important shit went down. And I was like, how did we even get here? How are these colossally terrible decisions being made? I've seen better decisions in a Friday the 13th fucking movie than I have in this show right now. I think at some point soon they're going to abandon the boats.
Starting point is 00:35:15 I think that that's coming. That decision might be made soon. I haven't seen the most recent episode. But if you haven't seen it, it's on AMC. It's quite a good show. Decent cast. It's got Ed Muir Tully from Game of Thrones thrones as well as uh mance raider from uh game of thrones and uh and you know they help carry things along a bit and uh it's interesting it's i was telling you he's i'm spacing he's the one who missed uh he kept shooting that flaming arrow at the boat and
Starting point is 00:35:42 get fucking up and then the blackfish had to do it for him. Yes. That scene made me dislike him so much that I bet I won't like him in this. He was trying so hard. He was trying so hard. Wouldn't that be embarrassing? I don't know if there's anything like that in our modern society where you're called upon to do a thing that's a little bit challenging, but it's a somber moment and everyone's watching. You have a Mosin-Nagant.
Starting point is 00:36:04 You're trying to blow up a big screen tv from like 25 feet and you can't hit it it's just something wings did yeah no wings just he they unedited no that was hilarious it was that tv actually and he was doing a video on like how the destruction slash disposal of it and um i'm having a hard time over something stupid but you just this was maybe before kyle was russian or if not it was early on but before kyle was russian i felt like wings almost pulled rank that like he was the gun guy you know he had this this was this was this was this was well into russia times because like i remember i brought that whole like thing of guns like like so i had my acr
Starting point is 00:36:51 and like the desert eagle and stuff and prior to the russian time i felt like wings he laid claim to a large arsenal of weapons and and sure seemed like guns were a big part of who he was. Yeah. He claimed to have a 50 caliber sniper rifle. I think I do, but you do. Yeah. I'm like a sniper. Is it like, what's a sniper rifle exactly?
Starting point is 00:37:13 But whatevs. Um, but, uh, and then when we saw him shoot, uh, was indicative of a person who doesn't do it a lot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:23 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He almost killed you. The ricochets, right? Yeah. I don't know if I can line it up right, but he's shooting a tree here. He and his girlfriend, I don't know if it was Brandy or Chalene or whatever, were shooting the tree, and Kyle and I were off to the side.
Starting point is 00:37:43 So it was hitting the tree and ricocheting to us and kyle just certainly not in a panic but maybe alarmed you know like like it's go he's like we're in a bad spot we need we should go and uh i trusted his advice it wasn't until later that night that we broke out the tracer rounds then you realize my eyes opened to the fact that these bullets don't just vaporize on impact they just start going places yeah and kyle was right we were in a bad spot and like i don't know i would have known not to shoot with other people just off down range but it wasn't until later i realized like bullets might have missed us by feet yeah yeah it we it was it was it was not entirely safe that it was good that we moved yeah that was an interesting day i felt like i think we've said this before but wing's entire posse was there like like people
Starting point is 00:38:37 that i don't i still don't know to this day who they were they it was like they had all shown up to see woody and i and and it was. And they didn't interact with us or introduce themselves. They huddled like penguins looking at seals. To see us, these outsider zoo animals who enunciated. Yeah. We're all over there doing our things. We'd look over our shoulder. We're enunciating. In addition to how they're hitting their consonants. over there like we're all over there like doing our things and like we'd look over our shoulder i think his truck is inspected
Starting point is 00:39:13 i've got shoes i have two of the same shoes God of War is not on PC I'm sure it is It's a really popular game If I had to guess I would say it's a Playstation 4 exclusive I don't know that for a fact But it's also one of those games where I bet it would be weird
Starting point is 00:39:39 I guess you could play it on a keyboard But let me check I think it's a PS4 exclusive I was about to go stream I don't know why I guess you could play it on a keyboard, but let me check. I think it's a PS4 exclusive. I was about to go stream. I don't know why I think this idea is good or funny, but I keep wanting to live stream and just be wings all night. You know, scream, look here, listen at people.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Threaten to ban guys all night long. I would need to do my research because I would mess up his quotes. You can't just threaten to ban. You got to go through. Well, I picture it like this. There's no mods in the stream, but I give the mods instructions all night long. Ban anyone who insults my gaming skills. Ban them. Ban anyone who does that.
Starting point is 00:40:20 And just go on all night long doing that sort of thing. I'll tune in for that. This is the week the Medicare video might go up. But did you end up watching his shoe-nice one, Woody? I haven't. I know you haven't. I haven't either. Of all the people that he's spoken about,
Starting point is 00:40:37 I know, Woody, you do not care for that guy. Shoe-nice? Yeah, shoe-nice. Because he just was weird and odd and kind of rude i i couldn't i don't know i i felt like it was hard to peg down i felt like we were doing a thing for him kind of you know like and he just sort of ate glue for us that's true that's a fair counterpoint but he did he kind of shit on us all night long. And he was like, that was stupid. What is this, a lesbian book club and this and that?
Starting point is 00:41:08 And I was just like, I don't know. Why is... We should have hit it back. Aren't you homeless? Yeah. You're right. We should have hit it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:20 You know what I did like, though? Apparently, he was in the Ice Poseidon stream. And he was in there chatting like, I won't be ignored. He was trying to get us to recognize him in the Ice Poseidon screen repeatedly. And I saw him and I was like, no, no. I'm not going to interrupt this show to talk about Shoe Dice. Yeah. I remember that guy who got views six years ago? Even more than that now. Probably seven years ago. And then everybody was like, I don't know how many
Starting point is 00:41:52 times we can watch him chug slightly varying alcohols. You know what we should have done? We should have had him on board for the drinking episode. Imagine if we got him on and every time we took a shot he drank a fifth. Solve the Shoe Kn knives issue once and for all. Well, he's dead now.
Starting point is 00:42:11 No, I feel like he'd pull through. He'd be okay. He's got to have something unique with his digestive system to be able to eat that much caulk and glue. Apparently caulk is... Non-food items. What I thought was interesting was his glue and non-food items. What I thought was interesting was his expertise in non-food items. He's like, I forget what it was.
Starting point is 00:42:32 It might have been caulk or glue, but he's like, if it's silicone-based caulk, you don't want to eat that. However, if it's in the DAP family, it's really no big deal. You can eat that. You digest it. It comes out the other end just like all any of your other poop and i was like like this guy has developed an expertise on stuff i feel like he could walk through the hardware store and know what's safe for him to eat and what's not maybe i wouldn't take his word for it though no well i think i said safe for him to eat though yeah
Starting point is 00:43:05 but uh but anyway uh we like i'd never followed up on shoe nice that much but i'd seen like a few videos online of people being like hey he told me he'd pay me for thumbnails and then i gave him to him and he didn't and like stuff you know kind of akin to that and the medicare video on him breaks it down in so much detail like there's stuff that like i didn't even know about where it's like holy shit like there was just some stuff where just like totally like you remember his thing of like oh i'm gonna i'm gonna save the homeless thank you like that shit like that apparently that was pretty dubious in a couple ways where like there there wasn't uh accountability for the funds in a couple instances. But I don't know. I got a kick out of that one.
Starting point is 00:43:46 I got a kick out of all of them. It was – oh, I don't want to mess it up. There's a – PwnStar for Hire is what I'm talking about. It's easy to mess up because there's a guy at PwnStar.com who's a very good player and a great guy. PwnStar for Hire, he used to hate on me all the time. And I mostly just looked the other way. And then he ran this charity for Christmas. And basically, you just sent everything to his house. And then he would distribute it outwards.
Starting point is 00:44:16 So money, gifts, toys, etc. You send it all to him personally. And then he would distribute it. And it was actually X- s jaws who called him out as like this is shady as fuck what kind of guy like sets himself up to be the recipient of all your gifts and charity and then just what sends on the stuff he doesn't want to keep and yeah it seems like it'd be faster to just use the post office right or ups and just ship it directly there instead of having this big middleman and
Starting point is 00:44:45 putting a bunch of effort on the one guy there was like i think he might have canceled it or something like you know like i don't know but i didn't really spot the the dubious part until extra i was pointing it out i was like yeah he sort of did set that up in a way that certainly didn't insulate him from criticism so much better if if any youtubers are out there watching this have it go directly to them like i used to do a march of dimes thing and you know you could tell like the one he wasn't going through me it was going straight to the to where it belongs anyway yeah um trying to think so that's the cow's not current you know i'm enjoying silicon valley or silicone valley i think both pronunciations are okay oh silicon yeah
Starting point is 00:45:31 silicone is uh for breast implants oh i didn't even all shucks i should know better anyway silicone valley might be a better show i bet there is a porn parody of that if there is k Kyle can find it. I actually stopped watching that show, I think, last season or the season before because I feel like it kind of lost a lot of momentum. Are you still liking it? It did lose some momentum. I agree.
Starting point is 00:45:55 I felt like it was better in its first season or two. Yeah, like one or two. It is the equivalent of television candy, you know? And I pop it. The shows are kind of short, and I enjoy it, and I watch the characters, whatever, hate each other, but like each other and go through their things, and they have moments where they're supremely awesome at their jobs
Starting point is 00:46:19 and then just stupidly incompetent and making terrible decisions, and I like watching it come through. Isn't a, what is his name? The fat guy. He's not on there anymore. Right. Uh,
Starting point is 00:46:31 he left to do an emoji movie. And I wonder how he's looking back on that. I do too. I, I, I feel like there's more to it than they let on. I think that guy's a train wreck behind the scenes and he got fired you think yeah do you think it could have been like he maybe got too big for his britches where they gave him the
Starting point is 00:46:52 opportunity like oh now you're you're jumping straight from tv to movie like the natural escalation like up and he's like i'm out of here i'm a movie guy now and then it kind of imploded i feel like he's gotten in trouble in real life once or maybe even twice like getting belligerently drunk on an airplane and something else that sounds familiar i don't know tj miller that's his name yeah did he have some sort of sexual thing recently that ended up being uh not what it was yeah it was uh his girlfriend his, his ex girlfriend from years and years and years ago coming out about something. And apparently like his current girlfriend and everyone was corroborating
Starting point is 00:47:31 like, yeah, she's been harassing him for years. Like won't stop trying to get back at him. And yeah, but allegedly. So in 2016, he got into trouble for assaulting an uber driver in 2017 he got into that's the sexual
Starting point is 00:47:49 assault allegations that may or may not be true in 2018 he got into charges for a fake bomb threat on an amtrak train and that's all that's there maybe i'm mixing up amtrak with the airplane no no i see it right here yeah it says tj miller busted for drunk bomb threat on amtrak train that that is definitely indicative of someone whose life isn't going swimmingly right like i feel like i look most people don't have like a major crisis every year on this there's an implication that yeah that maybe he got tossed off the show because he doesn't have his shit together yeah that's that could be fair he was funny on that show in the first two seasons though the first two seasons of that show i thought were hilarious yeah and the tall, skinny guy who's just really uncomfortable and weird, he gave me quite a few laughs in that in the first couple seasons.
Starting point is 00:48:50 I don't know why. I feel like I like the actor. I don't know him at all. But whatever comes through of him, he was on The Office as well. I always liked that guy. I want him to do well. Speaking of people from The Office as well. I always liked that guy. Wanted him to do well. Speaking of people from The Office doing well, John Krasinski is killing it with this new movie,
Starting point is 00:49:10 which I think he played a large role in the production of. Maybe he wrote it or something like that. I know that he chose to cast a deaf person, a daughter maybe or something. He had to stick to his guns for that. So he must be, if he has a role in Who Got got the jobs maybe he's producing as well in some in some regard and i think it's going to give him the carte blanche to uh to make a new sci-fi uh movie that he wants to make um i i read that on reddit somewhere so uh i like that guy a lot like i'm
Starting point is 00:49:40 glad he's doing well and it's interesting to see his body transformation from sort of uh skinny gawky uh jim halpert to like an action hero it's yeah beginner gains are great oh he's got way more than beginner i know yeah i just tried to work it in looking very good yeah i saw that clip of like uh dwight or someone being like you know jim if you tried you could probably have the best beard in this office and then it shows jim now and he's he's got a fantastic beard shredded looking great he's if he put your stapler in jello you'd have to laugh and agree yeah i don't want you to snipe me as i'm walking out to my car if he looked like that during the show it would have been funny because he'd just been the big bulky bully i want to see it would have been more like packer
Starting point is 00:50:30 there's three movies that i have to see uh one of them is that one another one is i haven't seen black panther yet i know you guys might be lukewarm on it but that's a movie i'd really enjoy and then the new uh infinity war is coming out I want to see it. Yeah, I want to see it as well. Have you seen Black Panther, Kyle? I know you... I haven't seen it. Yeah, I really like the superhero movies. I should see it. I mean to see it. I just haven't yet.
Starting point is 00:50:56 I kind of like... I don't know. I'll watch it soon. Maybe when I watch Infinity War I'll watch Black Panther first and then eat some lunch and then go back to Infinity War because these things are so goddamn long. There's no way that you can just do them back to back. You've got to have a meal in between. That's the same series, right?
Starting point is 00:51:10 Yeah. The Black Panther comes to Amazon on May 4th. So I might just wait until then and then watch it at home. We've got a decent little movie set up. I get annoyed that they make you purchase it for $20 at first. That's one of the benefits that Blockbuster has over when it existed, when there was brick and mortar
Starting point is 00:51:32 movie rental places over the current digital platforms because when something first comes out, it's like, ah, it's not for rent. You can buy it. It's $20. I didn't know that. I'm going to check and see if that's the case. I don't think I've ever bought a movie off of amazon i have i have like if it's something i really wanted to see
Starting point is 00:51:52 because i'll like rationalize it like you know like well if i'd go into the movies it would have cost me like 50 bucks you know by the time i drive there add the dinner that i'm definitely gonna have buy two tickets buy popcorn and drinks and stuff. Like it's $20. Yeah, have a nice $10 beer and some $8 popcorn. And yeah. I try not to drink too much when I'm at the movies because I don't want to get up and pee. Kyle, you're right.
Starting point is 00:52:15 It looks like it's $20 and you have to buy it. Yeah. Yeah, they do that for like the first, depending on how hot the movie is. Like if it comes out and it's like nobody wants it they're like ah and now five dollar rental like like a week later but with something like that i bet it's a month before you can actually rent it for six bucks or whatever if only there was some way well there's the red box uh yeah you can go to red box you go to one of those you ever had i
Starting point is 00:52:42 don't think i've ever used one but uh oh i have. It's a really ingenious sort of business idea, I guess. Do they ever run out? Oh, yeah, they run out. The only time I ever use them is if there's a storm or some shit and my internet goes out, and I'm like, well, I don't have any other physical media. I guess I need to go rent something to throw in the PS4. I wouldn't even know.
Starting point is 00:53:05 I'm sure Google Maps would let me know. Yeah, yeah. Pretty much out of every CVS and Walgreens and Rite Aid and shit. Like every pharmacy has one. Yeah, yeah. They have video games too. I don't remember the last time. I've only used one before, but it's been a long time.
Starting point is 00:53:20 I'm watching something. I'm watching The Expanse. What's that? so it's on the sci-fi channel and there are two seasons made i don't know if three is happening now or what the scoop is and um it happens in space now there are three like groups of people there are the earthers as you might guess they're the people who were born on Earth. There's the Martians. So Mars in this universe is kind of like Russia. It doesn't have all the advantages that Earth has, but it's militarily very strong and the people are
Starting point is 00:53:59 disciplined and they're not to be trifled with. And then's the belters the belters are like i don't know ghana or something like disorganized many factions and warlords and um kind of just shittier yeah are they in like an asteroid belt or something like on an archipelago they live on asteroids and and each of them have uh well actually, the Earthers are the healthiest people. The Martians are often, like, mildly disadvantaged from their low gravity. Like, they come to Earth, and they're not quite as strong, and they're disoriented. And their dream on Mars is to build out a planet that actually has, like, an atmosphere and an ocean and things like that, but they're not there. And then the belters are
Starting point is 00:54:46 fucked like if they don't get medical care they grow up to be eight feet tall with bones as weak as chalk and um if you put them in gravity it's like a kind of torture for them you have to put them in water to help them out and and then there's you know some of them we get different levels of medical care which make them closer to regular people, but still not as good. And none of these groups trust each other. And then there's our little group. I don't want to give away even the beginning of it, but they go around and try to make things happen. What's like the proposed year that all this is going?
Starting point is 00:55:22 Or do they not clarify? I'm not getting it now i don't know but it's got to be pretty far in advance um like i know there was a guy who invented like a hyper like a much more fuel efficient space engine and that's 137 years before this takes place and even that i mean who buys a fucking spaceship to tinker around with so the whole thing must take place like 500 years from now or something i don't know it's uh so i guess the time frame for the series is presumably intentional left vague but the world of the expanse started as a a tabletop tabletop rpg that was set in the year 2350 and the TV series was first pitched as a thriller set 200 years in the future.
Starting point is 00:56:06 So there it is, you know, two, 300 years. So, uh, I'm enjoying it. I went into it thinking it was going to be star Trek where characters died
Starting point is 00:56:16 more often. And it is way grittier than that. And, uh, I don't know. I'm enjoying the expanse. You should check it out. If you,
Starting point is 00:56:24 if you're looking for something to watch. Yeah, I've heard it's quite good. I think I'll get into it pretty soon. Man, I'd want to be one of the Earth people. Yeah, I think so. For sure. If everybody else shows up and they're just weaker,
Starting point is 00:56:38 like how would Mars ever wage war on Earth when they get there and they're like, oh my God, this backpack is heavy. Earth has some issues too. they're basically fat and spoiled uh something like 90 percent of the population doesn't have a job they live on basic assistance from the government but it's not that they're lazy it's that there's no opportunities you know one guy that we it's not a spoiler at all but he happens late in the second season we meet him and he says hey you know like guy that we it's not a spoiler at all but he happens late in the second season we meet him and he says hey you know like when i was 18 i applied to be a doctor and i have been
Starting point is 00:57:12 prepping and hoping that this opportunity like still comes true but i'm 52 years old now and it's just like damn you know well they live to be older too like, like 150. But, you know, it's just like... So it's like a dystopian version of Earth, where it's like some overarching global government, and the people are like, okay. Earth is like a single country, and the people mostly don't work, and everything is easy to them.
Starting point is 00:57:40 And the Martians see them, and they're like, oh, my God. Like, you have all the air you want you don't buy it it's just there air and water just free and easy like jesus you know and the belters air and water are some of the more valuable than gold and on earth it's a limitless supply and people like make money getting like space icebergs and bringing them to the belt so people have water and It's interesting. And the people living on asteroids out there, the belters, they can't even go hang out
Starting point is 00:58:11 anywhere else because they'll just collapse because of gravity, right? Is that what you were saying? So they're pretty much stuck on their asteroid. Pretty much, yeah. And then there's different techs like gravity shoes and stuff. And it's fun to watch.
Starting point is 00:58:23 I'm enjoying the show. I'm liking it. Yeah, that sounds interesting. I may check that out. You should watch Battlestar Galactica, though, Taylor, before anything. Like, just watch the first two episodes. They are two and a half hours long. But, you know, watch them.
Starting point is 00:58:41 I watched the old Battlestar Galactica as a kid and people told me like what do you should check out battlestar galactica and i'm like that show is so stupid it's dumb it's so dumb it's an in no the remake is not dumb it's it's smart tv it's very good very good yeah i liked it but i'm sad i crashed my paramotor i'm embarrassed oh no did it break or just a crash it broke it was uh at least you didn't break you know thank god for small miracles i swear this is the whole extent of my injuries, these scratches on my thumb. So crashing your paramotor is safer than foot dragging. It turns out. You heard it here first, right?
Starting point is 00:59:40 I don't know if people are, like, the details might not register with guys. But basically, when you turn, you lose altitude, right? That's a thing. So I was planning my landing. Like I was the most experienced pilot in this group. So I went up just to check the air and tell other people what to expect, right? Some of them were real new and I went up and the air was great. There was hardly any wind, but when there's no wind at all, it can be switchy. It was changing directions. And there was this tall windsock call it like 25 feet tall and it was showing like even the slightest wind changes so as I'm coming into land I kept changing my mind like because you want to land into the wind I'm
Starting point is 01:00:15 like well I'll land this oh well you know switched again I'll land here nope switched again I'll land in this direction in that direction because the windsock was kind of like in the way and there was a pilot on the field that was kind of in the way it cut down on my options on where I could land and at the very end I'm like all right here's the plan I'm going to turn about 120 degrees hook this thing and land here in front of everybody and you know nail it i should have gone around or prioritized a clean approach over landing into a headwind that was like one or two miles an hour like i could have landed with the tailwind it wouldn't have mattered but uh what happened was as i did that turn i was close to the tall windsock and i'm watching my wingtip to make sure that it didn't catch the pole, right? If the lines get caught on the pole,
Starting point is 01:01:08 there's a possibility that it like grabs your wing. It's not wing shaped anymore and you just crash. So I'm watching to make sure I clear it. And then as I look forward, all of a sudden I'm out of altitude and I hit the ground embarrassingly hard. The frame gets all pretzeled up and damaged pretzeled yeah uh i have some pictures i um the harness like the stitching like shreds and like comes apart and uh i flared which is to pull the brakes which would make it like you do that as you land so that it like you so it's like you lose speed and give it lift at the same time and then at the end there's
Starting point is 01:01:53 hardly any energy and you get to land nicely well i flared real hard and like pop back up again and i didn't land on my feet that time either like I landed on my feet and I kind of fell forward on my hands and knees. And it's like, oh, nice move, asshole. Like you managed to crash twice in one flight. You don't see that much. And there's not a scratch. People came running over afraid that I was hurt. And I wasn't.
Starting point is 01:02:20 It was completely fine. The cage took all the heat. That's good. There's a guy I know. He does a landing with a twist. The cage took all the heat. That's good. There's a guy I know. He does a landing with a twist. He did it all the time. It was like his thing. And then as he landed, he leaned so far over that he put the wingtip on the ground.
Starting point is 01:02:36 It's a trick. And some small, thorny little flower plant grabbed his wingtip didn't let go and he crashed and when he described it he's like if you saw this you wouldn't think it was the kind of crash that people would get hurt on right like it wasn't like he came falling from 100 feet in the air he was just spinning himself a few feet from the ground but if you land in the seated position just right things can go really wrong and he had some spinal damage and they weren't sure he'd walk oh yeah and for months he was in a wheelchair and then it clicked and now he's fine but they didn't know if he'd be fine you know he's like this chair may or may not be you know i, I might live on wheels. That's that could be his scoop.
Starting point is 01:03:26 And I feel like had this gone wrong, you know, like had the frame not taken the heat instead and my spine did instead, like, I don't know, this would have worked out. But as it turned out, the frame got all bent up. The titanium got twisted and stuff. And yeah, so now I'm in the process of fixing it. The frame looks like new. I had a friend come over and we bent it back perfectly. It was probably better than it was before the flight.
Starting point is 01:03:56 There's in the bend back, there's a small little crack. So I'm going to put some weld on that. I took the harness to a cobbler you know where they have like heavy duty sewing and thread and stuff yeah and uh and the harness is better than new um there are swing arms on the side i don't even know where along the way my swing arms hit the ground but one of them got bent so i'll have new acro swing arms by tomorrow and hopefully i'm flying by tomorrow or thursday probably thursday because we have a show tomorrow but um i feel like an asshole and yeah somebody who hasn't even flown yet uh i i post a lot of videos online and stuff and i i'm intermediate going on advanced pilot and in this area that's like as good as it gets.
Starting point is 01:04:46 So he asked me to fly his paramotor and, uh, I'm like, you sure? And he was like, yeah, you know, like I don't fly yet and I want to make sure it's okay. So, so yeah, my most recent flight wasn't that one. I flew his paramotor and got jiggy with it and landed just fine. But, um, I made a, a bad decision on the flight where things went wrong and that i didn't prioritize a clean easy landing instead i went for some unplanned trick landing idea i came up with at 50 feet and didn't give myself i didn't set myself up for success and um yeah well at least you didn't get hurt at least yeah yeah not nearly as bad as it could have gone my father when you fall from the sky and you aren't hurt that's that should be the
Starting point is 01:05:34 focus of it well you know i'll be i'll have you on my prayers my father used to say that life's big problems were emotional and medical and everything else money can solve and uh this won't even be that much maybe 400 bucks and i'll be good to go again but uh uh i do feel like an asshole and that is hard to fix i i posted online in the paramotor group about it and people were real supportive some of the most experienced pilots were like yeah he's like i seems like every three to five hundred hours he needs to relearn that lesson like he starts to forget that things can go wrong that you need to be careful and um i guess that's what happened to me you know i was like yeah i'll just slice it between this guy next to the sock and turn real low and you know nail this hook turn
Starting point is 01:06:26 landing thing and uh it's like why'd you do that there were easier choices available and you gotta push the limit yeah you push the limit from 3 000 feet where you can fix shit you know where if you suddenly lose 15 feet, it doesn't matter. But fucking around close to the ground is how people get hurt. And I have to burn that one in. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you're okay.
Starting point is 01:06:55 That sounds like it could have been scary. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, so there it is, the end of PKN. Paramotor talk that I think people might like. I like that.
Starting point is 01:07:07 Are we going to see any video of this crash? You might if you'd like, but I am not putting it online. Why not? I feel like, oh. I've done it before. You know what? People gave you a hard time? Somebody did, yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:23 And I'm just like, you know, i don't want to fucking no one else has to put every mistake out there that they make so yeah i feel you i i didn't hide it you know i posted up my lessons learned etc and i have some still shots of my frame before and after but um some i didn't take video but somebody else did and uh i asked him for a copy of it so it exists and i'd be happy to show you but i don't think i'm gonna put it on youtube or anything and let the next guy out there who wants to give me shit like i'm not gonna fuel it what do they say like you're doing something dangerous that you shouldn't be doing no um they just call you bad yeah they just call me bad some guy made up a nickname for me like dirt burger
Starting point is 01:08:06 from that foot drag that went wrong and dirt burger yeah i don't know oh that's not even a good nickname it's just not and he like every just like everything i've written online for the past like two months he replied to it and called me dirt burger what a fucking asshole yeah yeah and i'm just like i don't want this shit anymore you know like and if you look at my reply like i'm just out there like helping people you know and uh he likes to stir shit up like that's his idea of online fun so um uh yeah i think i'll just keep the video to myself but you you can see it if you'd like. Yeah, I'm kind of interested. Yeah, I'd look at it. It's an easy way to watch it, yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:49 All right. I guess that's a show? Yeah. Yeah. All right. PKN 192.
