Painkiller Already - PKN 435

Episode Date: December 21, 2022

all right peak ahead 435 what is what is happening where you are why are you so cold i just got off the motorcycle i'm in a big i'm trying to get home tomorrow and i had like 1250 miles to go i still have 700 more miles to go and i guess i would just try to drive the last minute because that's not a very good split, and I just rolled in. It's so fucking cold. I have no idea. Who goes on a motorcycle adventure in the middle of fucking December? We don't want to say anything.

You do. It's the holidays and everything, right? I mean, honestly, I think that was my and Kyle's first reaction was like, oh, December, huh? You want to go and the roads are totally empty. No law enforcement. Like, it seems like an awful time to do this. But you did it.

Your trailers. Yeah, I'm almost I've got one more leg. Hopefully I can do seven. I expect to do 700 miles tomorrow. If I don't, then it'll be two days but it'll be that doesn't seem like that many miles for a bike though yeah it is it's bikes do fewer typically miles than a car can do oh i was just thinking speed like i imagine yeah you do like a buck 80 the whole time it's

i can do more miles in a car one it's just more effort on a bike like everything is more effort my hands are freezing i have winter gloves i have heated grips it's not enough my hands are perpetually cold i'm driving one hand and alternating which one is going like under my balls to warm up um sounds awful yeah my whole body is cold i'm so cold that when i'm put into the warmth i'm still not warm and i'm like what what how do you get warm again are these clothes keeping the cold in is that what's happening right now is you think that's it i saw last night there was like i wasn't paying attention but the weather channel was on, and they were like, the whole map was purple and deep, like colors they don't usually bring out.

Is that magenta? It's almost circled back around to hot. Yes, exactly. It's almost come full circle. They're about to turn the Midwest black at this point because of some winter vortex, and I was thinking like, yeah, Woody's right there in the middle of that big pink zone. I'm trying to stay in front of that storm system and i forget what they're calling it like snow cyclones or something like that and it's they're like there's only a

couple inches of snow dropping but the winds are so bad it's going to be blizzard conditions even with just the snow on the ground and i'm like oh my god i gotta get home so there's only two inches of snow but that's because the snow was afraid of the cold and it quickly turned to ice the off-road portion the real part that i did this for was a blast it really worked out it sort of met all my expectations i enjoyed it the ride there was just cold i think it was five days and it rained like three and a half of them it would just and it's a special kind of december rain like that's it's cold yeah it's barely liquid water like the way back it's been more of the same not rain really just cold just so shivering cold it's i look to getting home. Where are you now?

Somewhere in Tennessee. Past Memphis. Is there a Jackson, Tennessee? Wait, maybe this thing will say. Jacksonville? Okay. No, it doesn't say. Yeah, are you guys supposed to get a bunch of snow this weekend? I don't know

where you guys are. We'll get weather for some. It'll be cold know it'll be cold and it'll be rainy it may snow i'm not sure they never know shit about the midwest until it's happening because of all the weather things and so i was literally reading an article today where it's like st louis gonna get between 2 and 12 inches of snow and it's like that's not a helpful like like you gotta narrow it down. At least pretend you know what's going on. Your weather forecast is you may or may not have a problem.

Yeah, it could be awful, or it could be just... I mean, if it's going to be that cold anyway, I'd like a couple days of snow. Make it look nice. I'm not even going to complain about the little bit of chilliness that we have here. I mean, it's cold, but it's not knuckles in your crotch cold. Dude.

Jesus. When I crossed the – I like the Mississippi River. I feel like it doesn't get the credit it deserves. I know you can't really play in it. It's a big river, yeah. But it's a cool, like, national landmark. Like, people think of Yosemite and all this cool shit, but I feel like the Mississippi River, at least in my circle doesn't get the credit it deserves i crossed it on interstate 20 on the

way out there and it it just it lacked the grandeur interstate 20 doesn't do it right there aren't towns on either side of it like the when i crossed it doing the transamerica trail it was like tourist attractions and stuff neat little quaint town on either side of the river like those guys did it i've never noticed did you cross it on 40 this time i did okay and uh it's a little better but i didn't stop i won't either i'm trying to think where it even is like i never noticed like the ones i've really noticed um driving um like along the southern uh part of U.S., like through Louisiana, there's a big bridge there somewhere. Like a crazy long bridge that you drive on

for like miles and miles, and you're still on the bridge. Whatever that thing is. And then going up to Chicago by land, for some reason, I always go over this really tall bridge that has suicide warnings on the approach. Really?

They say stuff like there's like turn back, you don't need to die, but then there's also some signs that are like if you see somebody, they're not a tourist, they're not a looky-loo, this is not a pedestrian bridge, warn someone.

Honk three times in case of jumper or whatever it says but like when you get up on that thing and you're going over you're like oh yeah i'd die oh yeah this isn't one of those this isn't one of those point your toes and cross your arms this is like holy shit we're gonna hit the water hard yeah i didn't understand that as a kid, like when I'd hear about like Golden Gate Bridge jumpers until I saw like what you were jumping into. And it's like, oh, they're dumb there, too, because you can survive. Some people have and then get sucked out because you're right there where you get that inlet or whatever you call it. Like because I know that that's one of the with Alcatraz, which is like on the other side of the bridge. That was one of the things they always talked about.

Maybe you could get to here, maybe you could get to there, but then you just get sucked out to sea because those currents do this, that. Lots of time for regret. How horrifying would that be? You've been behind bars for 15 years, and you're like, freedom! And then you're like, wait, the shore's... Wait, wait, wait, what now?

And you just keep going. You just keep going and die of thirst out there. Do you think they spend a lot of time looking for you? No. Or are they like, oh, I don't see him, just standing on the beach squinting. Yeah. That would be awesome.

Supposedly no one ever escaped, but then there's, I don't know, if you grew up during the 90s then you watched one of the 30 like tv shows about could they have survived and then they had that little animated like dotted trail thing across the bay well they'd have had to paddle this 12 miles yeah that seems impossible it's like the answer may surprise you the answer is no like a bunch of people have done that swim that's like a swimmer's thing the swim from Alcatraz to where does the San Francisco I'm not even sure yeah is it uh well that's the city that it's like but you have to be a real swimmer like you have to be an in-shape

swimmer who's competitive at swimming and you'll have to be world class or anything but it's a it's a tough swim so uh you need that background at the very least like exactly you need to practice for some regular person or even like an out of shape x swimmer you might just die but all right so so here's my like hypothetical and it would have it's what it would have to be right you'd have you would need to be a really strong swimmer from your younger days now you've been in prison for a while and you just do some jumping jacks you're obviously not you're not doing laps in the pool yeah no one's going to be able to be that good at swimming after like 12 years on the inside why not because you'd like you fall if they need to play a quick

game of like pickup basketball and all we've been doing is like swimming i'd be like well yeah he's in shape yeah but he's only swam for exercise yeah so good cardio and the good on the job all right great get him in the game i think that's a pretty good comparison like it depends on how good you need to be at basketball do you need to be at your best because your shot's going to be cold you're dribbling you know your your handles aren't going to be at your peak but you are still a basketball player right you're still a basketball player. You're still a basketball player. Like Taylor, you haven't been playing hockey lately. But your light year is better than someone who doesn't have your background.

Sure. I fall over and hurt myself. You're out there taking big wide strides and looking around like, wow, it's bigger down here. The water is not that cold. It is pretty cold is it the hardest thing like if you haven't done this a long time you wouldn't know how to breathe right and right that isn't that's not the scary part but there is a i don't know how to train for cold like that's just 10 degrees lower than other parts of the bay well i don't know where that is but

yeah exactly um so somewhere between very cold and not cold at all so on the east coast the lower than other parts of the bay. Well, I don't know where that is. Yeah, exactly. So somewhere between very cold and not cold at all? So on the east coast, the Gulf Stream goes from Florida up towards Maine. On the west coast, I think it's the opposite. I think it comes down from Alaska and that's why California beaches are so cold. Never been to a California beach. Wouldn't know.

Oh, Taylor, I sent you a book. Did you get it today? No, I didn't. It's in your mailbox. I'll go out and check after this. Well, thank you for the book. I imagine it's Warhammer related, and I'm going to tear through it. It is Warhammer related, and I don't know how long the book is going to be,

because I did the audio book, but it was like a 10, 14-hour listen or something like that. So it's probably pretty manageable. Awesome. Thank you, man. I appreciate it. Yeah, it's called Krieg, K-R-I-E-G. It not only tells the background of the Krieg, but it juxtaposes that with a modern story of them. While they're doing a thing right now, there are these flashbacks to

a thousand years ago. Oh, you're wondering why we're like this? And then they flashback to their founding and stuff. It's fun. They bounce around through the timelines. You get to see an Inquisitor, the Krieg. I think Orcs are the main bad guy. That'll be fun.

This is a cool world. I'm excited to learn more about it. Yeah. I was trying to play. I've been. This is a cool world. I'm excited to learn more about it. Yeah. It's a cool universe, right? Yeah, I was trying to play. I'm waiting for a game to play. I'm bored. The Tarkov wipe is about to happen.

When's Darktide going to be done? So you've Darktided out already? Oh, yeah. I'm not playing shit until I get a scoreboard. I'm not even paying for it. I will not play unless I can gauge if I'm getting better or not. It's such an important part of the game. Age of Empires 2, this game from 1999, which I mean is remastered, but they didn't add more stats.

You can go to 15 different layers. What were your military stats? What were your economy stats? What were your total kills, total deaths? How many of these buildings did you have? That one. This game is 30 years or 20-something years newer and it's an embarrassment to not have something that fundamentally necessary to enjoying the game. I'll concede that you like it and that you're not alone in liking it.

I don't value the scoreboard that much. But you don't want to play the game more than super casually, though, right? Like, you don't want to play dozens and dozens of super casually, though, right? Like, you don't want to play dozens and dozens of hours. But how would you know if you're good? Yeah, exactly. I mean, I hear you.

Every game, you'd be like, we won again! And everybody else is like, You're like, man, it's just so easy. There's only like eight enemies. We're all like Rick and Morty at the end of the episode. The trick to doing well in this is to walk behind you guys. Yeah. But then I wouldn't mind if I looked at it and I had 800 kills and you had 100.

I'd be like, fuck yeah. Yeah. Do it again. I wouldn't care because I'd know and I'd feel good. And look, I don't need a scoreboard. I don't want to rub anybody's face in anything give me my private stats leave leave theirs out of it just say hey Kyle you got a hundred kills oh good to know last raid I only got 85 and I was using the dagger but you're telling me I can get fucking 20 more kills every raid just by using the sword

I'm writing stats down anyway. I like stats. I like numbers. I'm over here constantly jotting shit down from these games. We've gone old time. We're old timey now. You're getting older and older now. This is what I keep my secrets in.

Kyle has surpassed me as the oldest person on the show somehow. I like notebooks. You can write down. on the show somehow. I like notebooks. I really like notebooks. I like writing down with ink. Kyle, I know you said you're looking for it. I've got seven of my friends now all playing AoE 2. I see you guys getting on. Are you getting on all the time?

It's fun. I mean, it's like every game where I leave it running all the time. But give it a go. It's really difficult to get good at. time it's fun i mean it's like every game where i leave it running all the time but like it's a retard give it a go it's really difficult to like get good at you liked age of mythology it's like that except much much much more complicated and there's a lot more counter units the economy's harder to run um it's just a more complicated version i got warhammer 3 today um so i only i just played a little bit of that but um that's going to tide me over, I think, to the Tarkov wipe. It's wiping in the next less than seven days.

So they haven't announced it? Sometimes they tell you, like, four days in advance. I forget. I could be wrong, but I don't remember that ever happening. I remember them being like, wipe soon. And then, like, pre-wipe events start where they start ramping the craziness up. wrong but i'm i don't remember that ever happening i remember them being like wipe soon and then like pre-wipe events start where they start ramping the craziness up so we're into like the third or the fourth pre-wipe event um every day they're doing a different thing um frankly they're things that

don't have any interest to me somebody who kind of like went up to level 42 and i've got millions and millions of rubles and all the guns and stuff. To me, I'm done. The things they're doing are giving you end game progression to the people who didn't do what I did. I'm like, oh. Nothing for me then. They made a quest so that if you get 15 melee

kills and a Tajilla who's a boss, melee kill on then you can get max traders. All your traders are max now they made a thing so that player uh dog tags are worth i don't know the multiplier but like 280 times the level i think so if your level one tag is worth 280 rubles but a level 50 is worth it's in calculable over 100 000 125 000 or something like that roughly and then they've also increased the rate at which you,

not your leveling experience, but your physical trait experience, like the RPG stuff. It's like 2,400% faster. So you can go on a raid and just shoot a gun off, and you can see your recoil control tanking up. So it's giving everybody max endgame levels, stats, traitors, and stuff. I already got that stuff. I'm good.

I'm ready for the wipe. So I kind of pop in. I'm like, stats, traders, and stuff. I've already got that stuff. I'm good. I'm ready for the wipe. I kind of pop in. I'm like, oh, okay. This one, I think yesterday, they made it so that the cost for upgrading your hideout was bottles of beer. Now bottles of beer are the thing to find. Everybody's running around fighting for bottles of beer

or anything you can use to make bottles of beer. I'm mostly just trying to get un-rusty, memorizing my keybinds and stuff and playing with the new PC and being amazed at the performance of it in Tarkov because Tarkov is so demanding. I'm ready for the wipe.

It's going to be fun. The Streets of Tarkov is definitely coming. A lot of people think they're going to do some stuff with the traders and they've all but confirmed that the quests are quite different now so that early game tarkov does not um mean customs it means streets early game tarkov is going to because what they want the game to eventually be when you log in there are no traders because you haven't met them yet in the world of tarkov there are no maps there's one map there's there's streets of tarkov and everybody on day one level one goes to streets of tarkov and they begin their journey unlocking

maps and traders um so that they can use so they can utilize them so you'll have to go in and like i'm just making this up like rescue the therapist from like some some usec guys or something and she'll be like oh i owe you one you know i run a little clinic on the outside you and i can do business like there's gonna be like an interaction something like that because i've seen the 3d models of like the the traders that we're so familiar with like the prapper and therapist and then like as characters talking and moving. I never really thought about it.

I've never seen him as characters talking. I just know their pictures. Yeah. That's the, that's the goal is for all of that to work as I just described it. So yeah, I, um,

a lot of stuff's coming out. This is people have been waiting about five years for this. It's a very big deal. Um, for those who, I'll, I'll say this, um, Twitch is going to be all tarkov um i would say by by sunday or monday there'll be a quarter million to 350 000 people on tarkov i guarantee it there's 24 000 right now by comparison because they'll do like drops on on wipe day plus the new map and then they'll i don't know spend a million dollars

paying twitch people to play the game normally are all the tarkov streamers like taking it easy right now because they don't yeah they literally are too it's fun to see like how they all like does it be a waste like why would they it's like a marathon is coming up a marathon's coming up and it's cool to see how the athletes are prepping for it pastilles like um he's got other people at his house it seems like when he's he's doing a charity stream right now so he's kind of a unique example so so he's got a guy like on camera while he's asleep that people seem to like i don't know but but like i clicked in i just like scroll past and i think he was doing jumping jacks. Just some random middle-aged man was doing jumping jacks for 1,200 people. Is it his father by chance?

Do you know that? I've seen his dad. This man looked younger, like, I don't know, late 30s, early 40s, something like that. And then some of the other guys are just toning their hours down or playing other games and uh but but everybody that i've gone i've willers and landmark and all the people that i watch slush puppy they're they're getting ready for the big plunge i don't know about slush puppy

actually he's been playing so much of that dark and darker game that we were talking about on the last show i think he intends to to be one of the highest ranked people on the planet. So I think he's been grinding the shit out of that. That game, so hard, I quit. That game is so hard, I need help. That game is so hard, I need help. This game and, help me, what was the other game that's a little bit like? Elden Ring. That is what I'm going for.

Thank you, yeah. So Kyle's not alone. We were in the PKA Hangout. And you have to know, Kyle's a real gamer, right? Everyone listening to the show knows. Kyle plays games. He's been playing for a long time. He is not a pro gamer, but he is better than most.

If he was your friend, he'd be your most talented friend. He can pick any game up pretty quickly. Yeah. When he says a game is too hard, game's fucking hard we were in the pka hangout this is elden ring and kyle's like it's too hard and everyone else there is like kyle's peer and they're like yeah that game's too hard that game's too hard most people didn't like it yeah they're all better than me and they're and they're and they're and they're like yeah it's too hard i don't like that and the problem is i'd never played a um what are they what are

they called scrolls uh whatever whatever that that series of games games is dark souls dark soul games that's what i mean um i'd never played any of those before or any game that makes you like dodge perry duck so accurately uh and it's really hard for me to pick up the combos because they'll do sort of this thing where they they pull back to hit you And then they're like what it's like a baseball player. They're like give it a little twirl There was no I mean it was a wind-up, but no warning like I didn't know when it was coming and and it's just instant death or it'll be like You've got a hundred HP. It takes 87 of them away, and now you're just like can I get away to heal up?

He's like I'm on a horse, dummy! I'm like, whomping you. I had to give up on that one. Now, Dark and Darker is an example of me just being a low level, not knowing what I'm doing, and needing friends. It's three players going to a raid. Imagine it's just like Tarkov, and it's an extraction game, but you're going to pick a class and um first you're going to be like one of this traditional dungeons and

dragons uh classes a cleric a wizard um i think maybe like a barbarian or or assault you know stuff like that and um obviously they have very different stats and weapons and speeds and stuff. And you go and you crawl through a goddamn dungeon. But you immediately run into difficult AI and people. Real people? Yeah, yeah, yeah, who are also doing the same thing. They're in parties of one to three as well. I was playing solo, and I'd run into three fucking wizards or some shit.

I got my dagger, and I was playing solo and I'd run into three fucking wizards or some shit. I got my dagger and I was like, stay back! They're like, get fucked, loser! And they just run me alive. You're like, can I be on your team? Oh, that too. I ran into another solo and I crouch and he crouches and I'm like, yeah, let's do this.

And now we go on like a swashbuckling adventure. And we run into three scary men who were already on a swashbuckling adventure. And we run into three scary men who are already on a swashbuckling adventure. And they did not respond to your crouching. They had a wizard with them! You need to play a wizard, it seems like. Well, the wizard was so hard, dude. This wasn't like in Skyrim

or something that I played before when it's like, alright, left button's the fireball, right button's the telekinesis. Look out, motherfucker. It was like, this dude immediately pulls out a book. Like a big old grimoire, and it's got all sort of pentagram, and he's like,

and we're in battle. Like, I'm not in another screen. I got the book out, and I'm running around. And I hit the wrong button, and he sits down and starts meditating. He's meditating to lower his... Stress. Yeah, because you'd use your magic, and it'd start to overheat. You do this mechanic where you, like, something like that.

You recharge your magicka or something. And so I'm sitting there, and they're fucking and you die fast you die really fast and the ai is very difficult but the but the game looks like it costs two hundred thousand dollars to make so the ai watching a gameplay video it's not any better looking than skyrim oh it's awful it's awful maybe a little worse looking than skyrim but it's very very popular and i and um i think that um if they keep supporting it and if they're able to keep the people on twitch playing it then it's going to continue to be really really popular because i don't know i can see where it could be addictive i just i'm gonna need friends to play that one you can't

play that one solo can you play difficulty well it's you know it's a multiplayer game so like no you're you're in there with there might be different arenas that i wasn't aware of like where we can play uh in some different fashion like maybe just ai but i doubt it this is it's not just early access it's like early early alpha bullshit that like like you You had to request to be part of the thing. I think it's free. I don't think I paid anything. They've got that same grid inventory system Tarkov has.

It's very Tarkov-esque. That's the new thing, if you ask me, is the extraction-based shooter. This obviously isn't exactly a shooter. It's its own really weird niche thing. But extraction-based gaming in general,

I think, is going to be the new thing going forward. Whereas, you know, PUBG exploded with Battle Royale and everybody copied it and it became the thing. And you saw this little Korean, I think, studio come up with this great idea. Well, they didn't come up with on their own obviously it dates back i think to battle royale the movie the first time i'd ever seen anything like that but um obviously every triple a type triple a developer went out there

and copied it and did it better fortnite is massive i can't imagine how big fortnite is at this point those those gigantic mobile games i don't know if it's growing i just know how it just seems so culturally relevant we talk about avatar sometimes and how like nobody fucking knows who that who those blue people are what they do the naboo naboo i don't fucking know but close god damn it i've seen kids do got do dances and shit from that game and sing the songs and i i it's it i didn't like it when it came out i hated it i was like no i'm like pub g better like the aesthetic of that better gameplay that better and i don't want to build shit so it was just like quick we played for like three hours and quit

when it came out and then it went on to be just so goddamn gigantic but yeah i think i think br's out extraction stuff's in there's several really cool extraction games right now i think hunt showdown i haven't played any of that don't have them don't even know what it looks like but i've heard that it's similar um it's sort of a light version and then there's a space game now where you know how in the expanse they had that that concept of raiding enemy ships where they crash like a pod into your ship and it like blows a hole into your ship that they can then breach through you do that's what the game is like you're in these little pods like ramming other people and and that's how you do

your raid they're like it's like a it i think the the lore is that world war ii never ended maybe the nazis won and but but everything has a very space nazi aesthetic well like they're winning maybe i i didn't get too deep into it but like a thousand years in and they've got the lead but we have to come back you look like space nazis or something i'm being dominated thank you a thousand years into world war ii and mecca hitler is still a problem you said that close enough to the call of duty for announcer that it almost triggered one of those winter soldier fucking ticks in my head i was like oh shit capture a somebody what was that other one that the guy always yelled the arab

which i think is arabic for frag grenade or it could have been arabic for i'm about to shoot my gun i'm running right now. I'm throwing a grenade. I'm crouching. I think it's grenade, though. I think it's specifically grenade. I think it was grenade, yeah. Yeah.

And then, like, there's all those little blurbs. Remember from Age of Mythology, all that nonsense the villagers say? Like, foremost. Voulame. Voulame. Every time you, like, grab one, Select them to do a task He goes I don't know what that means in Greek

But it probably means yes sir Or something like that I love that with those Age of whatever games They just didn't bother with any voice lines Like at all Oh yeah It's just silly noise

In this one Like Age of Empires 2 Obviously it's like different cultures And so like You click like a Japanese villager And have him do something He's like different cultures and so like you click like a japanese villager and have him do something he's like and then you click like a british one he'll be like tell him to chop wood and he'll be like chopper chopping like that kind of shit but like they go all out with the

japanese and the chinese like straight up like oh no it's like all right was this cool in the late 90s like you could just do that but yeah that they had a whole tournament called the woe low low low tournament because they only got one audio clip for the monks for the whole game and all it does is go when he's trying oh yeah yeah yeah that's from agent mythology too yeah yeah they couldn't they couldn't spare any money on two Wololos. That's so funny you say that. That's so identical, almost identical to the Civ V one when you're sending, like, I can't think if it's missionaries

or some other unit, use it to convert enemy cities. I think it's like... Same thing. Yeah, and he goes, Wolololo. And some sparkles come out out and all of a sudden all your people are Jews it's like shit they took root that quick

it's just one turn and they're all Jews one turn and you're all and you're all Hebrews now the religious wars in that game are so funny because they piss you the fuck off you can't like if they just showed up with army, you'd be like, fuck you, blow your shit up.

But they show up with these little missionaries, and you can't declare war, because it's like real life if some missionaries showed up. You can't just kill them. It starts a war. So you have to just let them come in and convert your people to their bastard religion. And they make you tie up your own resources defending against it.

Civ is such a fun game. It was so deep, though, and by the time I, like, started playing it, like, you and everybody in the Discord was, like, on the last kind of leg of you guys being into it. So it was, like, impossible to keep up. Because every turn, especially early game, when, like, turn-based, RTS, early game is always the most important because you're building the foundation of everything like you need to know when to research pottery you know when when to build a certain building and if you get to like turn five and

you did something out of order it's like oh well this was this was fun like there's no way for me to catch up correctly because i'm yeah you've got to be there for my one of the big things kyle got too good right it was like oh let's play Civ we're all gonna goof about And Kyle's like I don't know a fucking fully Decked out samurai warrior Just slicing and dicing me And I'm like

I don't like this game I'd be like really excited that I was getting Into crossbows and he's like got Like low level planes Yeah Imagine you like getting into crossbows and he's like got like low level planes yeah like some of them imagine you like boxing right like let's spar let's spar and he just knocks the like beats the fuck out of you every time you're like you know what boxing's not fun it's it's i'm out of my league even when you

play a game because kyle throws himself into learning games he wants to get good at and like kyle had no experience with art real-time strategy like top-down rts like age of mythology i had a ton of experience with it it took him less than like a week of gaming sessions not even every day until we're playing and he's and i'm like looking at the score and i'm like oh fuck like he's right there with how is he going this fucking fast and like just you would just practice builders which is how you actually get good at games like that and you just research watch youtube videos on them and you have to do that stuff for rts games and so like rts more than like call of duty stuff like that like if you just watch a few youtube videos of some like nerd online who's really good you can be like all right i'm gonna do exactly what this guy does and then once i get to like the 20 minute

point of the game i've done the whole build order and now i can kind of free wheel because it's not like a shooter where it's like i can watch landmark jump out that window turn to the left and shoot those guys in the head over and over but god damn damn if I can do it. There's something about my hand-eye coordination that's just not there. It's just never going to be no matter what. I can get close by practicing eight hours a day. I can get as good as I can be, but I can't get to him because

he has this talent and whatever else. But with RTS, I can sit there and I can put your screen and whoever's the best in the world i can i can put him next on that screen i can have my screen here and i just try to keep pace now it's just clicking and memorizing things that i can be as good as the best guy in the world at least at the build order i might not be able to stop on the fly and change his builder like he can

he could be like he could see that oh things are, let me add a little bit more richness to the fuel here or whatever. Like, he can change things on the fly because he's an expert. But I can copy his build order and keep... Sometimes there's other decisions to be made. Like, in Civ, for example, where are you going to put your city? That's really important.

And you need to quickly size up an area and make some educated guesses. Is this the best I'm going to find? Is it worth going seven more moves to find a better place? It might not be. You know, seven moves is a lot. That takes a lot of knowledge, and I never got it, really. Yeah, I like accumulating the knowledge.

I don't know. I like learning useless things as much as I like learning the things that we used to consider to be useful. I don't know what useful knowledge is anymore, really. You know? Math? Low-level math. But useful to – not useful to me. I've got a calculator, and I've got Google.

I'll never need to know that math unless I want to pursue some sort of career in aerospace or something right that's high-level math I thought that I was at a store the other day and a girl shouts out like what's 30 minus 7 and she was stumped by it I'm like 23 oh my time who would say that in public there were gonna be more work there oh that's embarrassing 30 minus seven those are easy that's a round number i had sympathy you know why because one time when i was in high school for the life of me i was like how do you spell who i fuck i'm drawing a blank who all the things I'm trying don't seem right I'm sure Taylor can't relate but who if you don't know it you can't guess it it's one of those that you're like

it doesn't look right like an owl I think that's more of like a whoville person so when she didn't know 30 minus seven i cut her some slack that takes its own kind of confidence to just belt out there hey someone 30 minus seven what do we got folks what do we got like taking suggestions from the peanut gallery here. That's so funny. 30 minus 7. I know what you mean with the spelling thing.

No, you don't. No, you don't, you liar. You don't know. Every once in a while, you forget how to spell something easy. For me, it's very quick. And I'll be like, oh, okay. Spelling, I'm so solid with spelling. Like math, every once in a while like with math i'll be like seven times seven what the fuck is that one again oh yeah 49 okay like and if it takes more than a

few seconds it's like i don't i don't even need to know i'm not sure that uh like i'm pretty sure i have all my uh multiplication tables of the were the nines memorized but i didn't memorize them as a kid because i quit my teacher taught us this way to to learn them by doing this thing with your knuckles um we didn't yeah it was like um okay so like nine times three is 27 so you've got two knuckles here. That's two. And then there's seven knuckles to the right. And it works for every knuckle. And she taught us that for some reason. So we didn't have to memorize it.

So you touch the fifth knuckle, it's 54. And it keeps going. It works perfectly. So I never memorized those in school. And then every time... It absolutely is okay 45 though so there'll be times in my adult life

like jokes it's time where i'd be um i'd be in i'd be in a meeting or something at work or like i'd be selling a car and i'd be like yeah sorry i had to multiply something by nine by using my hands like a monkey i don't remember it like. I think you subtract that number from the nine. I'm trying to remember it. I think that if you... Nine times four. You're doing nine times three, so that's 27. There's 27 knuckles. There's 20 and then seven.

Wait, how many knuckles do you have? 20 and then seven. Seven. This is so much harder than just memorizing it. I'm not saying it's practical now you know what happened is your teacher never learned without the knuckle trick either she's just passing misinformation down through the ages miss stevenson how do you do nine times six we don't go past eight here kids kids wow you you're gonna go be a lawyer up north with your nine digit multiplications uh dude messy won the world cup i know we're not into soccer around here but i i didn't know he'd never won yeah so he's i don't know if that's his first name or his last. It's his last. Lionel Messi?

Something very close to that. I just became a fan of this guy like three months ago. In July. But when I broke my leg, there's this song called Wave and Flag. And in it, there's a line. It's like, when I get older, I'll get stronger. Whatever.

And it was what I needed emotionally to heal from my fucking broken leg because I suck at riding motorcycles. All right. So I became this messy fan. Apparently, waving flag is associated with soccer. And I just watch his highlights again and again and again. I watched his highlights like 200 times, maybe more like a lot because I just I'm in bed healing up watching this like on repeat practically and uh anyway so now i'm like hoping this guy does well but winning the world cup

apparently is some sort of crap shoot you never know who's gonna do well it's it's a little random and and the best team doesn't always win and and he just keeps winning and winning and winning he makes it to the finals and there's this like Messi versus Matabe. I'm not a huge soccer guy, but that's close from France. This guy won the World Cup at like 18 or something ridiculous. And now he's trying to win it again four years later. He wants to have two World Cups by the time he's like 22. And it is Jordan versus LeBron.

It is these two guys, the best who's ever played in messy right perhaps the best soccer player the earth has ever seen thus far against the guy who might be better but he's you know only 22 so he doesn't have the career stats to prove it and uh i was really hoping for messy if he didn't win it this year he wasn't gonna be better at he's like 35 maybe like it's not like he's gonna come back at 39 and be like all right i figured it out this is it this is his chance and i wouldn't imagine with all the running i would think you're right yeah um well he is on performance enhancing drugs so that helps him well they all are though you know it's the it's the whole lance armstrong situation you've just you

might be right he though has a so messi's a little guy he's like five five i'm making that up but it's not far off and uh he had some sort of weird like like his body's fucked so he's allowed to take human growth hormone oh cool yeah so oh he's like an odd job situation yeah that's not that's not even fair like come on i don't know in 64 golden eye you could play as a job who is a james bond character and uh he's a he's a small asian man uh he was i think he was played by that oh no no in the austin powers version he was played that by the mma fighter who was a rapist um fun little factoid warlord that guy he was the one who got in trouble for the multiple dick punches i think that time you may have seen him going ham on the guy's dick yeah that's older

it's so funny i know about the austin powers guy being a rapist because you've told me this before yeah yeah his so so odd job and james bond has a hat with like a razor's edge and he throws it and kills people decapitates them but uh but in the james bond version it's the it's an asian mma rapist man it's funny i've actually seen his uh the police interview the interrogation rather of him he's like you may have seen me in austin powers that was the guy with the shoe and he's like he's like trying to talk his way out of murder that It's the guy with the shoe. Like the cop was going to be, holy shit. Did you get to meet Goldfinger?

Get them handcuffs off him, Jim. Fuck. This is a personal friend of Michael Myers. So anyway. We're going to give you the key to the city. The old guy won his World cup it was great and i think most people are rooting for me even if you like matab something close to that matabe um he already has a world cup and he's young he can win more yeah he's 22 who cares yeah you see the news article um about wondering why argentina's uh soccer team is so white i saw her like i saw about it uh yeah yeah i guess there's some news article but like hey what what's the deal why is

argentina's team so white and they're like oh see we didn't kidnap half of africa and import them sorry oh i didn't i saw something different it's it was like because we're a country not a diversification program or something like that like sure sure yeah like the real reason is all of europe is being um what the fuck why is argentina is a team full of argentinians like what the fuck right oh what who should it be dickhead? Who should be making up the Argentina team? You know, I bet they probably picked the best soccer players. And that's who it happened to be. I'm guessing that all the European teams are made up of Indian, Pakistani, and African players to some extent or another.

Like there's a lot of black Frenchmen who play soccer. I'm making this up but my suspicion is that much like america a lot of our top athletes have african heritage and that's why their teams are so diverse so like if you look at the u.s olympic team like our summer olympic teams it what is america eight percent black it's more than eight percent black oh it's more than that am i wrong it's higher but but not by much that's like 25 or 30 percent or something like that and african-american way lower than that african-americans are um gifted beyond the average look if you when you think africans you think those skinny fuckers with flies on them right that you think of that like those kids with distended bellies um at least i do um because it's

funny but but when you think african-american you think of like a big honking dude i think that like like whether you like it or not the the sad part of the slave trade was they weren't bringing like skinny weak people over they were getting the like the biggest strongest guys they could and and then they those guys that were already the biggest and strongest had to somehow survive a horrific trip where they're just chained in the bottom of a boat for a month and a half or some shit. And then they have to survive life here. And then they also had breeding programs where they would breed the biggest slaves with the biggest other slaves and create super slaves. There's this book called Roll of Thunder. Hear my cry.

It's a children's story but um it's it's good and and one of the characters in there he's like it's about that um one of the characters he's like yeah he's like my mama and daddy was breeding stock but my mama loved my daddy and they run off together and then they got this whole story about how the white man came and my mama and daddy fought him tooth and nail as the house burnt down around them it's like the whole story children's tale oh i read it in the slavery zone is a really good part of children's stories yeah sixth grade uh yeah roll thunder hear my cry if anybody i don't know it was good in sixth grade it's a real banger i mean i i was reading at a very high level yeah at the sixth grade level there you go

no it was much higher than that my point is that um i'm gonna read the warhammer one first though i i have a question for kyle you sent a link in the whatsapp it's something to do with sugar shane o'malley calling people out and i didn't understand it there's a background that i didn't get well that's what i'm always talking about how khabib and these guys all like bow down to this uh katarov guy the guy the the chechen like president warlord lord who's who's put who's putin's butt buddy who is actively sending like troops in and and into ukraine and like massacring people this guy who was a literal warlord bad guy he's the one that that kamzat shows up to this kid's birthday his one of his son's birthday's parties and then like he's

like roughing kamzat up like punched him in the face with boxing gloves this chubby little 14 year old cocksucker and it's like yeah i bet you oh and then he makes kamzat put it on his own instagram i thought that was funny uh khabib's the same way he's the one that any you've khabib's been in like this isn't surprising that kamzat chameev he's got the fucking chechen beard like those guys like put a lot. Well, if they like Putin, Putin must be cool. Sure, because those are cool beards. I don't like those guys. I don't like Putin. Well, what Sugar Sean O'Malley is calling

out is the fact that Justin Gaethje, Henry Cejudo, and who's the third one? Kamaru Usman all flew over at this guy's invite to go to another one of his kids' birthday parties. And they're shooting guns in this guy's firing range, like rockets and machine guns and stuff, and hanging out. And it's a bad look, if you ask me.

I wonder what they get. These are bad people. Oh, they're getting a lot of money. They're getting cash. They're getting paid. They're getting paid to go to these birthday parties. Oh, yeah. These are bad people. Don't they guys live there? Oh, they're getting a lot of money. They're getting cash. They're getting paid. They're getting paid to go to these birthday parties. Oh, yeah. I like birthday parties.

What are they making? But don't they... Do they live there when they're not fighting here? Like, do they live in Chechnya and stuff? All right, so we're talking about different people. So, like, what we're talking about right now is, like, three UFC stars. Not Chechens or something. Three UFC stars.

Like, this guy's a big UFC fan. Not only does he support like mixed martial arts in his country, along with being a warlord. He also is just a fan of the sport. So he's paying Henry Cejudo, who's I guess he's a he's a Mexican-American former champion. Kamaru Usman, who's Nigerian-slash-American, former champion. Oh, okay. And Justin Gaethje, who's just from the Midwest or Wyoming or some shit, somewhere out west where they're dominant and strong.

He might have been an interim champion. Yeah, who was just a white American dude. He's paying these stars to come to his kid's birthday party out there, and they're all showing up and taking his dirty terrible... Do we know how much? No. You know, $100,000 would be easy to get him there, I bet. I bet it's less than that, though.

All right, well, that seems... Okay, thank you for explaining that. This whole time, I'm like, wow, breaking Chechens hanging out in Chechnya with Chechen guy. Like, no, okay, so this is just a guy from Wyoming who's like, yeah, I'll hang out at this Chechen warlord's house at the Lord of War.

You know who wouldn't do it? For all the knocks I have on him, Conor McGregor would never do that. He did meet with Putin. He did meet with Putin, to be fair. Fuck. Remember, he shakes Putin's hand. Three years. He shakes Putin We put him to be fair. Well, you remember he probably a long time ago, three years. He shakes Putin's hand and then he goes like put his arm around.

He like big brothers Putin. He does the arm over. And then he immediately like I think somebody's just like, hey, maybe we move. And he's like, ah, that ain't how you deal with Putin. You get you get one of these. We're side by side. I'm not going to put my. OK, I see. You get one of these. We're side by side. I'm not going to put my hand.

No, no, no. Okay, I see. Putin's a little guy, too. I wonder if Putin and McGregor are about the same. 5'9", 5'8", somewhere in there, both of them. Okay. Yeah, look at there. Nah, McGregor's looking.

See how he's like. I think McGregor's doing a thing, though. He does look like he's increasing his size somehow, doesn he like the look puffing out a bit and like raising his shoulder you've posed you've posed for pictures when you're trying to like like like god damn i look 30 fucking bigger if i turn a little to the left oh yeah yeah i have wide hips so i take pictures with my hips twisted a little bit big shoulders small hips. I want a photo with like a short male world leader. That would make you look good.

Who else is there but Putin? I don't think he's on the table anymore. Kim Jong-un. He might be even more difficult to get in touch with. You want someone that people don't know? You're going to shoot down all my ideas? Yeah, sorry. When you're right, you're right. I need to come up with an idea before I just shoot it down. Taylor, you need to come up with a better idea you can't just say minor bet i want to i want to

picture with that the french president the macron guy because i want to ask him what it was like to be groomed as a child you know his wife for an easily accessible world leader do you know any of those kyle and mac Macron, the French guy, he's not even that short. I don't even think he is short. I think he's normal height. The whole point is I want to take a photo with a world leader where it's like, damn, I look so much taller than that guy. One of those good-looking

world leaders, either Canada or France. Why would you want to be in a picture with a good-looking world leader? You want the ugliest one you can hold. I want an absolute dog. No, no, that hot one from Finland finland or something oh there's they're all hot there i'd settle with for like a lindsey graham but they're not all tremendous next to like one of them has a hot female world leader slovenia or something yeah i know what you're talking about i saw some hot chicken the world cup with like she had the um

the gay sleeves on her shirt they're making a big they were and we're all so proud how brave she is oh did she wear gay sleeves wait wait isn't it a little brave to do that in qatar she's a fucking world leader they can't do shit to her it's not brave to be a world leader and wear whatever you want there i saw you do anything elon musk is there with a big glass of wine like like like laughing up like like if you've got enough money they just don't care dude elon musk is the most interesting person in the world right now like i'm i'm here for i don't know if my internet's breaking up but yeah yeah to me two years ago and for like a six-year span donald trump was the most interesting person in the world right everything he said he could misspell something on a fucking tweet and we're like hamburger or kofofi or whatever he said like we're all so engaged now that person is elon musk i i it's

like i well right now i'm not but i was waking up every day and just be like what elon do today he had a poll as to whether or not he should step down from twitter yeah and they said yes i don't know how long his approach of like contrived drama every day is going to lack because like oh i agree that's what he's doing right but trump did it for six years so i don't know when i'm gonna wear out on this yeah what i find interesting is that these people on reddit think that they can like own the richest man in the world somehow by tracking his jet. And they're about to fuck around and find out because he'll buy Reddit if you mess with him enough. Do you know who you're messing with?

I hope he buys Reddit and shuts it down. Just buys Reddit and shuts it down. There's a subreddit called elon jet tracker or something like that and and like there are all these fucking heroes are like they voted up to five seven thousand upvotes every time he lands by the way i can't think of anything lame so far up this man's asshole that you think you can annoy him by like doing this while he has the most baller of lifestyle i didn't know i thought elon musk hunk was like bouncing around from like three companies or something a lot and like in board meetings and like man it must be stressful and boring he's a fucking baller it's just he

they're like every time i wake up i check and he And his plane has gone from like Austin, Texas to the UK to Qatar for like a day at the World Cup. And then pictures of when he gets to Qatar, all of a sudden photos of him are everywhere all over the Internet. I'm just like getting them fed to me like, here he is with somebody we don't like. Here he is with someone we really don't like. Here he is with wine. I guess, I guess money has privilege it's like no shit did you notice he's in a skybox so high up that he's like the air smells clean get the fuck out of here yeah he flew in a jet that you people are tracking you weirdo like and then like

like i hope he buys a private prison and puts all those fucking losers in it He flies a private prison and puts all those fucking losers in it. That's it. He flies that jet like it's his car. He's in that jet more often than most of us are in our cars. I bet some people who have private jets at least consider the expense of the private jet. Like if you're Taylor Swift, it's like, should I take the jet? Yeah, I think I will.

She says she just lungs it out. musk like yeah take the jet if you're elon musk like it's unfathomable wealth a jet to him is like a dime to you like have you seen his jet by the way it's better than that it's awesome so i will say this trump did a thing that makes it i i think that trump did a thing by getting that 737 or whatever it is that sort of makes it so you don't have to get the coolest most expensive jet because you went and got like a commercial airliner it's like i bet that yeah i i bet it costs less though than like the slickest pimp is like 32 I interrupt? Yeah. He says it does. I saw him talk about it.

This is a while ago, so it's out of date, but it was on The Apprentice. And he's like, yeah, I bought this 737. I had it converted to be a personal jet, and it was a great financial decision. Not only is it better, but it's cheaper. That's his take on it. Now, I don't know if it's better, better.

I imagine it costs a lot to run it. It's so much bigger. Yeah, it's got more room. Right? He's got a real bedroom in there. What do you want in a private jet? Do you want it to be big? Do you want it to be inexpensive to operate?

Do you want it to be fast? I think fast might be a really big deal. Fast would be cool. Not too fast. You want to enjoy it. I think Trump's it goes really fast i want to be able to go to france if i feel like lunch like yeah that would be cool right like and how far am i from france and i'm in raleigh but not right now but pretending if i just want to launch and

land in paris can you do it in six hours? What's five hours time difference? Oh, I didn't... So you're saying there's time zones? So we can do this. We can definitely get there. We can get there for lunch in France. Oh, actually, we'll miss lunch in France because they're ahead.

Looks like it takes eight hours, Woody. Eight hours. Is that... Can of private jet do it faster or i bet it can yeah if you're just getting a regular old flight from raleigh to paris seven hours 55 minutes so i i bet it's faster i i just don't know enough about planes to do this is like those stars the trash turning into stars but i think that like i think the airliners fly at 32,000 feet and I think they go around 550-560 miles an hour or something. I don't think that your private jet, you're like, yeah, take us to Mach

2, Jimmy. That's not happening. You're definitely below 700 miles per hour. The difference is going to be negligible. You could afford the best pilot who could fly the man's jet the best You think it takes more talent. I don't think it's talent at all barrel rolls barrel roll

That would be pretty sick to have that guy that so that's the other 18 knots which is I So that's the other spectrum, right? 618 knots, which is about 700 miles an hour. Okay. So that's quicker. What plane is that? The Cessna Citation.

Jesus. But is that an expensive plane? It's considered the fastest one, so I have to assume that it's expensive. That makes sense, because 700 miles per hour is around where the sound the speed of sound is obviously depending on you know the altitude but it's around there somewhere i had no idea what the speed of sound was you wait a minute wait a minute 700 miles per hour no it's 700 feet per second that's that's what it is it's 343 meters per second. So how many miles per hour is it? Is it more like 1,200 or 1,300? Is it like way more?

I have to know now. I love how the people asking this question asked it the way I would, where they're like, is the speed of sound 1,000 miles an hour? Some of them are just stamping in the dark here. It looks like it's 761.2 miles an hour. Kyle hitting the nail on the head pretty close. All right. So this would be just below that, just like Kyle said, yeah.

I think that breaking this, like getting close to it, causes all sorts of turbulence, right? Because when you see the footage of the planes approaching the speed of sound and then breaking it, I don't know. You can see all that crazy... What is it? I thought that was like the shockwave impacting

your perception of it. No, that's a real thing in lens. The air is doing that. That crazy... And you can see it move over the plane. Some parts of the plane will be moving faster than than others that might be the wind will be moving over parts of the plane faster than others okay

so i'm like it goes the same speed i'm pretty sure the way i was like is this a trick question am i gonna appear foolish if i counter signal him here the wind will be moving faster over certain parts of the plane and you can see that for sure because those parts will be the wind that those parts is going faster than the speed of sound or creating that that that whatever that that that sonic boom that sort of mirage uh that visual thing you get isn't that called is that called the sonic boom well he's talking about the visual thing i know it's i can picture what he's talking about but i don't know much yeah it's sort of this wiggly like it looks like star trek energy

does it always happen or does that happen at like certain condensation levels i'm not sure oh i bet it does matter there was a lot lot of stuff about the water and the air. Yeah. I didn't read it, but they did mention it. I guess it's condensed because the air is being condensed there and it's moving fast and you're seeing water vapor. That's how clouds are made. That's true.

That's how diamonds are made too. Those are the four elements of our planet. There water yeah he's making he's making shockwaves and of course clouds that's really fucking cool there's all right it's water steam and well i'm glad we could make our audience when we're out of time time for dinner all right pkn 435
