Painkiller Already - PKN 549

Episode Date: February 26, 2025

PKN549, sup boys. How's it going? How's it going? I raged on stream today, embarrassed myself. I was mad. Oh no. Was it a big deal or was it where you getting owned by a boss?

I was getting owned by a boss. Okay, game related. It hurt my feelings. I got very frustrated. There were things I could have done to improve my build but I wanted to beat it that way with a less than optimal build. And I wanted to keep banging my head against the boss

until I got good at it. And eventually that's what happened, but it was a painful journey. We sat there and watched the rocky inspirational speeches. It's not how, no one's gonna hit as hard as life. It's not about how hard you can hit. It's how hard you can get hit and keep coming because that's how winning is done.

I'm like 40 deaths in Were you being roasted by the cat or was this a self-imposed? Supportive it was all self-imposed. Okay. Yes better at least that's good and just game related It's not like you were in the middle of playing and you're like, no, I'm not gay I have a wife and children. OK. No, Chad's on my side. They're like, oh, they were talking about OK.

So I put on an armor set. They gave me really wide hips and like a big thick ass. And I'm like, all right, Chad, what do we think about this? Does this does this armor make my butt look big? And Chad's like,

you know, I like a petite. What is right? There's a certain boyish charm in a lady that I enjoy too. Boyish. This is one of my favorite Rocky speeches or motivational moments. I think it's from Rocky five or something, which is one of the shitty ones. But I think Rocky might be, you know, he's got brain damage by this point.

So he's like remembering dead Mickey and dead Mickey is hyping him up. Can we watch that? It's only 41 seconds. And it's yeah, yeah, we can watch copyright style on PGA. Zach, I look at my only exposure of Rocky seven. You joke. There is a rock. And it's not bad. This is my first true exposure to the franchise.

It goes up to 7? Is that the... Well, I'm pretty sure... Were you talking about the Apollos? He did Rocky Balboa and that's at least Rocky 6. the the the I'm not going to be able to tell you. Yeah, this is like a five.

You know what's like a five because it's a three fight at the end. Yeah. I hear no after that, he goes and beats the shit out of the young, like current world champion. He was 22 in a street fight. And then his Johnny Cochran stand in of a lawyer goes, you hit me. I sue the, to Rocky and Rocky like hits him so hard that the lawyer flies through the air onto the hood of a car.

And it, cause it's like, Rocky's broke now. He don't care. Why, why'd they make the old coach so spooky? He's been dead since Rocky three. That scene happened before the fight, according to me, because Rocky's there is at a bar and Tony Morrison like barges in unwanted and challenges him to a fight and Rocky doesn't really want to do this fight. And then Rocky's two friends, which are are like fucking fatso's 50 years old just like Rocky like Rocky you need some help with this guy no this ain't no pie eating contest

but if it had been those people would be ringers yeah yeah I remember that line yeah yeah um I like the Rocky movies the first one's amazing and then there's a couple there after that are worth watching but they can be super motivational. That's what they do so well. That might have been, the Rocky movies might have started the trope of the montage of the guy, the down and out hero being like, going back to the drawing board and getting pumped up for the next fight and all that stuff. I loved those as a kid.

As a kid, it was like the eye of the tiger and all that stuff. Yeah, let's go. Loved it. Still do, I guess. Yeah, I'm right there. You're like the first one was great and there's a few others that are worth watching. I'm like, man, I thought the second one was even better than the first. It topped it. And the third one is when we get into the clubber lang and perhaps it isn't what it once was. But I like the fifth one and the Drago one, like a little polished, but lots of good stuff there. I love the family guy, like making fun of the third one. There's the part where Apollo Creed is like,

hey woman, hey woman. So Rocky's wife, he's like, come over to my poppin' tonight. I'll show you a real man. And she's like, eh, eh, eh, eh. But in the family guy version, it's like women boxers. So it's like a dyke hitting on Peter. And Lois is the one who has to stand up for Peter's honor. And Peter goes, when the big like scary guy, like, hey man, hey, come to my part tonight.

I'll show you a real woman. And that was what I have. The Tiger was a karate kid song, not a Rocky song. You know, your lack of cultural exposure is a form of child abuse. And every time I hear you say something like, I thought I have the tiger was a karate kid song. It makes me real. I wish I could have taken you in young Taylor.

You could have helped me. I would have seen Star Wars Terminator. You could have adopted me when you were 18 and you could have helped me. I would have been seen in Star Wars, Terminator. You could have adopted me when you were 18 and you could have been, you could have introduced me to this. It's like you grew up behind the Berlin wall or something sometimes. No, because I've seen stuff that you guys haven't. You didn't watch the original series of Pokemon. Oh my gosh. Touché. I'm just genuinely at a loss. I can't think I watched another scene that you guys haven't Here's the thing though

I watched enough to know all about team rocket and to know about the fucking trainers and the gym leaders and stuff I know enough so that I'm culturally well the culturally relevant parts of it I can get jokes and make jokes about you don't't know which terminator is the bad terminator. Yes, it is. It's the one that's not Arnold, idiot. Arnold's the good one. No, he's the bad one. It's not that simple. Oh. It's not that simple.

Well see, this is really on you because I absorbed these through osmosis through your descriptions and so the fact that I was mistaken is on your descriptive. I too blame Kyle for Taylor not knowing It out for like I don't know 33 years I think so Yeah, your entire life it's existed I've been playing so much Baldur's Gate I want to be playing it right now I've been having a good time. Congrats on your addiction. I know how that It's not healthy. Well, yeah, I know.

Just ruined. Like last night, I, my sleep schedule is so bad that it's not even a normal sleep schedule anymore. It's like, Oh yeah, I go to bed at this time and wake up at this time. Now, now it's like I was in the bathroom pissing at like 10 AM and there's no windows in the bathroom I was in. So I was like, I was in the bathroom pissing at like 10 a.m. And there's no windows in the bathroom I was in so I was like I was like What time do you think it is to myself? I have no concept a drug addict is yeah

I have no concept of what time it is without the Sun and and like I Don't know my sleep schedule so bad I'll sleep like two hours, and then I'll be up for like ten and then I'll sleep for twelve. It's it's awful I gotta I gotta fix this thing. When did you wake up today? Like are you fresh awake right now? So I took a nap for about Three hours, I think it's three hour nap before the show just now, but before that I had been up all night Since last I woke up last night at 8 p.m. that that I would become depressed so fast. If I was waking up and when it was nighttime out. I like it though. I kind of feel like I'm a vampire and like a good way though,

like, you know, waking up in the creatures of the night We all are waking up. I kind of like it. I wouldn't like that It's finally sunny out here today. And so I was like outside for a bit just like thinking of like out of my back patio being like I'm enjoying being outside. So I'll just imagine the yard work I will do when I want to like I'll fix this part of my patio Maybe I can extend it and put a hot tub like just stuff I'm probably not gonna end up doing but just an excuse to be outside because it's been so fucking cold and shitty and snowy For so long. I'm just I'm over on it's it's melting

So mostly mostly we got more snow the other day. It was crazy I was playing my flame Balder's gate and I looked out the window and it was snowing and the dogs were out there frolicking, trying to bite it. But so it snowed twice this year down here. Once it actually snowed and the other time it just kind of looked like it. We got the same.

Yeah, well I'm over it. I'm over snow until next year. Enough. Y'all get a bunch of snow. What's that? Do you like the first snow? I always liked the first snow when get a bunch of snow. What's that? Do you like the first snow? I always liked the first snow when I lived in New Jersey. It's beautiful.

And it's, if you're not accustomed to like a nice four, six inches of snow, it's quiet. It dampens sound in a way that you don't appreciate until it's there. But you step out at night and the snow is on the ground and everything is sound absorbing and it's beautiful. And it falling against the lights and it's pretty dope, but once or twice is enough. Yeah. Yeah. The first snow is always awesome. I like like even just in my house, like I can see out through the sunroom or through the skylights, like when it's like fully covered

by like that fluffy snow, it's like, oh, I'm so cozy in here. And I'm beating the elements right now. And then like three days later, it's like, ah, man. Like it's all iced over. All the stuff on the side of the road is grimy. It's no longer pretty. I like how clean it looks. Like I remember like when my dad's pastures and everything

would just turn white and I was like, oh, everything is clean and perfect. Like, like you just like laid out a tablecloth over the world. It's a really nice look. You know what I was realizing I did that wasn't good for me as a young kid is like, often, often as a young kid. Is this headed towards yellow snow? What was the negative? You know, that salt that they would spread all over parking lots. Yeah. Yes. I would like just be like, I randomly pick up a piece of salt and eat it and be like, Oh nice. I like a little bit of salt.

Avoid the yellow snow, but the spicy snow is fine. Spicy snow is fine. Yeah. I just go down and like get a big piece of rock salt and suck on that during recess. And I'm like five years old and I'm like man. This is great. No, I'm sure there's poison in there I mean it was like it wasn't normal salt color. It was usually like green or blue or something I remember it having an amber tint. I Don't know that they intentionally poison it that seems like a mistake, but it's probably just oh low standard Yeah, it's probably just like yeah, they color it to be like, Hey, don't put this in

your salt grinder and put it in your coloring. I thought they just didn't clean it or like care, like build it in a really sanity. Yeah. They probably color it too. So they can see what they're doing when they're spraying it. That makes sense. Yeah. Cause the one I bought this season, like one of the bags was like they were all like dark green. It all melts and goes in the sewer. So you got to imagine it's not toxic. It's just not pure. Unlike that shit they drop on forest fires. I was right weeks ago when we were talking about the LA forest fires. And I was like, I bet that shit they drop that's like red or purple or whatever is awful for the environment. It is. It's poison.

It's driving. I Googled it and it's, I don't remember, but it's poison. Like if I'm a tree, I might choose it over fire. If you're a tree, you choose it over fire. Yeah. But, but if you're like some fucking liberal Californian, like you might be surprised that that's what you're dropping on the fires. I saw they fired the fire chief, the mayor fired the fire chief and she said that it was because the fire chief, well it was a bunch of things, the fire chief refused to

give an after action report on the LA fires I guess. And then there was this problem where they sent over a thousand firefighters home and on the day of the fires, because there weren't enough fire trucks to put them in and there weren't a fire trucks to put them in because there weren't enough mechanics to work on fire trucks. And then, you know, it's one thing. It just after another trying to figure out who's to blame on that one. It's like everyone, everyone's to blame. I saw one of the, uh, I guess, was San Diego where that was happening or no.

I just saw on the news some some fire chief was murdered out in California by her partner, her her girlfriend. Yeah. Was we any of them hot? No, no, no, no. The story is less interesting to me now. Yeah, initially, the woman suspected of killing the California fire captain was convicted

of killing her first spouse. Yes. And so like that does lean me in the direction. Is she hot? Because I think I know it was a little picture. No! She looks like us. It was a little lesbian murder. Yeah. She looks like us.

She looks like, like I do. She looks like I do. Wait, am I hearing boyish charm? No. Do I have a boyish charm? Is that what you're saying? Oh, that was a circuitous, give me a copy. A bitch looks like Seth MacFarlane.

Yeah. But I saw like one person being like, oh, is someone that mad over the fires? And someone else is like, no retard, different city. And she was married to a known killer. So narrowed it down quickly in the PD. Is Zach showing it? This is the haircut I'm trying to grow into.

I gotta admire that hairline though. Girls are on cheat mode. That's basically where I'm headed. She has a heavy testosterone in her system, of course. That's basically where I'm headed. She doesn't have any testosterone in her system. Of course not. That is like a nice drill sergeant on holiday haircut. That would be like a drill sergeant's

idea of cutting loose. Blowing her hair out like that. I did a video during COVID about investing. On my stream we watched it twice. I look at my hair in that video and I'm like, you know, I think the sort of upright bang thing worked for me so I'm headed back there.

Just need more length. Do it. Yeah. Kyle, what are you gonna do with your hair? Same thing I've done since I was three. You've got like a shrouded hair length sometimes because it always looks the same to me. And then occasionally you'll be like, no, look.

And it's like touching your chin. Yeah, yeah. I part it over here and then everything goes over there. And so it'll like sometimes the hair that starts here goes all the way back here. Like, cause it'll be so long. I, it's pretty short right now. I got it cut maybe three weeks ago.

I also had roughly the same haircut for the last like 10, 12 years, but you go back much farther than that, further than that. And he had the Justin Bieber haircut. He was rocking the Bieber. And that was fine, because at the time it played into how you imagine like some Russian guy's hair would look.

What I was really doing is I just didn't care at all and I was cutting my own hair. That's what I do. What I was doing was take I bought a pair of clippers and I was like Scott get the back and he got the back and I shaved the rest to like a I don't know a three guard or something and I was like this will look good in a week. I tried to give myself a haircut once on stream and it was it gave me more respect for the hairdressers among us because it looked bad. It was not even at all. Jackie cuts my hair and she's like I'm trying to get the fade right. It's like you were measured by how fast you do it, not how well you do it. Yeah.

That's that. You got a lot of hats, just get it done. I don't want speed in my haircut. I want accuracy. I don't want to lose an ear. Something that always surprises me at the hair place, one of the hair places I go to get my haircut is like, they have that fridge where like they'll give you either like a little bottle of water or like a

little diet Coke or a little Coke. Oh, and they also have like full sized beers. And so it'll be like a weekday afternoon and they'll be like, do you want a Budweiser while you wait and it's like oh no what so I'm gonna go sit down and I don't show up there I'm not there to spend time and so I'm gonna sit down next time you get your haircut tell me one an old-fashioned or something like I'm like, uh, no, I don't want one Budweiser. I want four. I'm just getting trashed. Actually, I could use a little top up here. You've got an actual mug. They try to make it too fun. It'll be like, oh, there's a little putt, like there's a little place where you could

like golf like into a little, uh, a little cup. Like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I fun. It'll be like, oh, there's a little putt, like there's a little place where you could like golf like into a little, a little cup. Yeah. What else do they do that's so miserable? Aside from the beer and the golf.

Big checkerboards. They have no snacks, no fucking snacks, which is big. I bet if I had a little charcuterie, that'd sweeten the deal. Yeah, I was going to say charcuterie board and Taylor wouldn't be making fun of them. 100%. Get my free bottle of water, a little sweetened the deal. Yeah, I was gonna say charcuterie board and Taylor wouldn't be making fun of them 100% get my free bottle of water Water little fuzzy cheese from the like previous customers I would put in one of those those driving video games so you can hit real golf balls with real clubs and as it has the video

Aspect and everything you seen those they're really good. Oh, I saw Do there was this wildly viral? Stream that like barstool sports did some guy who works there. This is months Oh, I saw a, dude, there was this wildly viral stream that like Barstool Sports did, some guy who works there, this is months, maybe a year or so ago. And this guy was like trying to get attention for some new YouTube channel. And he was like, I'm gonna,

if you haven't seen these Woody, it's like this giant projector screen, like 30 by 30 feet. And then it has like a 20 by 20, it's huge. And you stand there in front of it and it has like a 20 by 20. It's huge and you stand there in front of it and it has like a fake green with like differentials of lengths of grass and then you hit into it and it predicts like the correct way you go. And this guy was like, I'm trying to get a bunch

of attention on the stream and so we're going until I hit a hole in one. I'm not stopping until I get a hole in one. I heard about this. It didn't go quickly. No, he was like, uh, it was like four days or something. We're like, uh, like other people were like, we're bringing in food for you. We got a mattress here.

And at one point he was like, I just, I just can't do this. I don't know if I can do that. He's like three and a half days in and he's wearing like five pairs of gloves on each hand because he's so bloody and torn up from golfing. Oh no. Oh yeah. Like, like Tom Brady commented. He just quit. No, he got it eventually, but like big time sports stars like Tom Brady were like, you can do it, Jerry. His name was Jersey Jerry. He said, you could do it, Jerry. And like he was having like multiple breakdowns.

He was like, oh my God, I'm looking at him now. This guy looks like only use me blade. Like he's not a fit guy. This was a challenge for him. It was. I was picturing like an ex athlete for some reason, like some guy used to be a running back and it's like, okay, what do you have to hit?

This guy, this is a lot for him. I wonder how accurate that like setup is. How does it work? Because if they only track the ball for the first five feet, it doesn't start curving and like the effect of the spin until later. I think I'm not a golfing guy at all. I don't know how that software works. I have seen it be I saw one once where it was like very inaccurate Mm-hmm, but I don't know they I see people treat them like they're respectable like you guess Yeah, I Does do people give it respect because it gives them too much credit. Like I want to say that Wii Tennis accurately tells you how my game is. It's not true.

I mean, Wii bowling. It seems to be pretty high tech. Like you seem having a meltdown apparently according to this golf.com article. It took it. He hit the hole in one with his 2,627th swing, which is like, like how many, you know, in when you're playing nine holes of golf and if they're par three, like, and you're like, like, let's say you hit it 40 times. If you suck, like that's an incalculable amount of rounds of golf to do nonstop for days and days on end. an incalculable amount of rounds of golf to do non-stop for days and days on end. I would have been also having a breakdown,

like the whole time. You get that over again? I'm curious. So it says 2,627 swings. Because I did see like, he was complaining about like, my hands, my hands are raw. I can't, I can't grab anything. I couldn't hold his phone.

146, 18 round, it was 145.9 146 games ago. It says here that golf. So the good golf simulators are accurately measuring club head speed, launch angle, and the spin rate of the ball. They can replicate distance trajectory and shot shape of a ball. It goes on. shot shape of a ball. It goes on to like use regular balls. Yeah, I think they do like like rain like normal range balls.

If you ever go to a driving range, all the balls there have like a green ring painted around them as a way of being like, hey, don't take these home with you. They can't stop you. I mean, I would go to the I went to the range I bought. We sat there and we me and three of my friends we we drill balls. We probably hit a buck two buckets each. And then I bought a third bucket and dumped it into the back of my pickup truck and drove home.

I drove home with it dumped it just rattling the balls are flying out. Dude, I'm 16 years old. I do not care about rattling golf balls. I'm driving home giggling, thinking about all the balls I'm gonna drill into the pond or whatever. Just hitting them off the backyard. Dude, driving ranges are fun. Even if you don't like golf, they can be fun.

Top golf is a place I've never been, but they've gamified it and made it an arcade in a way that looks like a lot of fun. Like it's the same kind of thing where there are digital targets out there are like overlaid on the real holes and regions and you like hit the ball. And if it goes in the right place, it isn't just like, nice shot. Like we golf, it's like that point racking up addictive gaming thing where it's like,

it's like, oh, how many points did I get from my head it's like not even I was I was trying to make a golf video one time We I made a hole Cut the grass and everything and I was I was shooting Entire you can golf balls come in bags at Walmart. It's like a it's a plastic netting golf balls come in bags at Walmart. It's like a it's a plastic netting. So I take the whole bag of balls and stuff it into my cannon barrel and then shoot an entire bag of balls at once.

The bag comes apart in the air. So it just launches 30 golf balls at light speed. I was doing my best to get one to go in, but I was missed again. Missed again. Oh, I missed my about half a mile on that one. Well you were shooting you know 30 golf balls at a time you would think after a while you dial it in but after a couple hours I was pretty sick of that and the golf balls were getting expensive. If you don't take it seriously golf is a

super fun activity. I could see if I took it seriously that it would quickly become enraging because there's nothing that feels like it should be easier. And then you do it and it's like, Oh, this is, this is why there are professionals at this, like this is so difficult to do correctly. Cause you're never going to hit the same thing twice in the same position and the same lie, the same. You think that would, would that be your secret talent? If you could have one like, like if, if I think it would be mine I think that would be so good for impressing

the right kind of people or like getting in with the right kind of people they'd want to play with you if you if you were just secretly really good at that like like not good at the guitar not you can't maybe speaking French will help you one time but but like you play golf that would be awesome that's true and if you're excellent at golf like It's got it's the safest sport to play where you also make a shit ton of money. You see tiger was playing with Trump Always he's often with Trump what he say about Amazing Stunning he played with Trump and then like the next day or something he was like, I'm too hurt

to play the tournament. He couldn't play in the next tournament like a day or two later. I saw him playing with Trump. I've been watching Trump this week. It's been, man, it's always so fascinating. I love it. I want more Melania and I want more Baron on the show as I call it. I feel like those characters need more screen time.

Doesn't the Ukraine stuff bother you? A little bit, but you know. Let me lay it out real quick for anyone who's not up to date. So they held a UN vote and it was basically like, do you support Ukraine or Russia? And like the axis of evil voted with Russia. It was like Iran, North Korea, Russia, America, and it's like there's the new axis of evil. That's like the bad guy team. Yeah.

Yeah. We uh it was it was some kind of a resolution to like say Russia's bad or something or it wasn't binding. It wasn't committing troops. It wasn't committing troops. It didn't cost any money. It was just like, who do you support? And Trump is like the Russians. I don't know why Zelensky invaded. Wait, so there was no consequence to this vote?

Or it was, it was a vote. The vote was like denouncing the invasion of Ukraine by Russia or something. It was, it was everyone saying we don't like what Russia's doing. And the US didn't vote on it. No, we voted. We voted for Russia. Yeah, you know what I mean? You know, they support it.

Yeah, I don't care about that so much. I feel like he's negotiating with Zelensky. I don't like when I do feel also like Zelensky is not grateful or he does. He acts like he's not grateful. I'm getting that vibe. You know, I he should be he should be I understand that he's at odds with Trump here and there and he needs to negotiate with Trump and figure out how this thing's gonna work but I would

like it he's a little bit more grateful you know he's ah you promised me 120 billion I've only gotten 76 billion of it so far. What gives? It's like. Did he say that? That's the way we say thank you. Yeah. Did he say like he didn't recognize his need of paying it back or something along those lines? I don't like that.

I hear anything like that. But they're arguing over the mineral rights. Obviously, I think that's what Trump wants. And Trump has in a really strong negotiating position. Because he can, no matter what happens, I think it's a good thing. Because Trump stepping away from this has made all of Europe step up.

The libtards on Reddit are like, look at Europe showing leadership. And it's like, yeah, Trump made them all do their jobs. Isn't it crazy how Trump said, I'm not going to carry your water for you anymore. And suddenly every leader in Europe, all those fucking pansies were able to get around a table and lean in for once and get something done. And France is like, oh, we'll protect you with our nuclear triad. It's great to do that. Do that. I like all that.

That's good then. It is time for them to step up and us to stop, you know, footing the bill all the time. It depends. I feel like I can't tell if it's good. I'll let you know in 2028 how it worked out. But today, I don't know if it's good or if it's bad. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, it's hard to tell right now. But I do like him trying to make them pay for their fucking war. I do like that. And I don't know, I don't. Whatever helps America is good.

If we get access to more mental rights, if we get, like, whatever helps us is good. I suppose so. I also like the little things he's done. I swear I do like him eliminating the penny and it just feels like why did nobody else do this? What about the nickel? What are we doing? Yeah like what's the lowest like denomination of currency we actually need? Really? The dime. So I'm an expert on this because I saw a YouTube video and every time we make a

penny, it costs us three cents. Every time we make a nickel, I think it costs us like thirteen cents. Like we lose even more in a nickel. There's a chance that we'll lose even more because the penny's not there. Like the penny was preventing us from using so many nickels. We're gonna need more of them now that there are a lot of nickels and we lose even more nickels than we do on pennies. I don't know. I don't know how it's going to work out for real. Maybe we get rid of the nickel as well. I still don't know, but I know that we make money on dimes and higher. Yeah, that feels like

that is unreal to be like what decades into being like, oh, we're taking a bath on nickels and panties and just everyone's like, all right, we'll just keep printing it. We work for the government. So like money is this kind of ethereal endless thing. I mean, it doesn't matter to us. Well, as a customer, I always wondered like, are you just going to round? I'm accustomed to like it being accurate and fair. Now I'm like, oh my God, tell me this doesn't round in like the restaurant's favor every fucking time now. And I know it's a little bit, but that's what I worry. There's gotta be a way to do it correctly

because like Russia, like what's their currency? The ruble and it's like, oh, I'm gonna go out to dinner at a nice Russian restaurant. It's gonna cost me 62,000 rubles. Like there's no way they're like, oh, I'm going to go out to dinner at a nice Russian restaurant. It's going to cost me, uh, 62,000 rubles. Like there's no way they're like, and here's your 0.01 ruble coin or like, like pick any other European denomination where it's a crazy high number, the, you know, Slovakia, whatever the hell, like they're figuring a way around it. And so we, we should do it should always go in favor of the customer.

That's my humble opinion. Round in my area, We should do it should always go in favor of the customer. That's my humble opinion Every policy in his own pocket America first on Ukraine Taylor first on restaurant meals Taylor Taylor hundred percent. Yeah To be fair Yeah, I think the way I aspire to be I don't know the right solution is I've spent no time looking at it But I just talked to someone recently who watched a YouTube video on it. And so that's my understanding. It seems like a silly thing to have pennies.

When you get pennies in change now, it's like, come on, I'm gonna like. Oh yeah, yeah. Oh, what was interesting, people don't even place value in pennies. So what happens is America will print, like I'll make up a number 10 million pennies and then they need to make 10 million more next year because they just throw them in a fucking jar.

They're not carrying pennies around paying things with pennies. Like if I give you a dollar, strong chance that dollar goes back in circulation, right? You'll spend it on something. If I give you a penny, are you even keeping those in your pocket? Now does it cost so much more than one cent to make a penny or is the material value of a penny that much more than one penny? You know what I mean? Like it will be true. Like if I if I just had raw copper and zinc, whatever pennies made out of sitting there

in the amount of a penny, there's its value. And then there's the value or the cost rather of what it takes to take that raw zinc and copper and make it into a Coin to mint it and that finished product has its own Costs and values associated. So I wonder what the difference is. I don't know the breakdown but I'm Just about a hundred percent sure that even the value of the materials are worth more than their okay Are you if that's true? Why don't we just start buying pennies and melting them and selling copper and zinc? I thought of that too.

I'm not positive that even though there's like three cents of copper in a penny, I'll make that up, right? Cause it's not all copper, that we can turn a penny into pure copper for less than three cents a penny. Does that like, how much does the furnace cost? How much does this operation cost? Like, if I'm making pure, do they make copper and bricks?

Bricks of copper? Like, to turn pennies into that might be an expensive process. Just sign some tariffs on copper. It's even more economical now to melt your pennies, folks. You talking about the China, I'm sorry. Yeah, it is China. China, Canada, Canada and Mexico maybe?

You know he signs an executive order every hour on average so today or I was watching and he's got this one ass kiss that often stands on over his left shoulder, his camera right and Trump be like tell him a little about this one, George. He's like, wow, this is one of the most amazing things our great President Trump has ever done. This right here, it puts the brakes on the communist regime in China, raping our American copper industry. He's got a hype man. Yeah. He's a hype man. And I'm like, oh, dude, I'm glad I'm not an enemy of America right now.

Cause that guy's late. Oh yeah. I love it. We're getting one over on that guy's late. Oh, yeah. I love We're getting one over on the commies sounds like good news Yeah, it's he always makes it sound like good news. He's always hyping trump up. He's always like Thanks to the fantastic leadership of president trump We are now in a position where I can happily say america is and will be number one going into the next century Well, that is the next century. Well, that is- The next century, 75 years from now.

It's still too early to call the next century, bro. Thank God for this executive order. You need a hype man there. Like, what, you think he's gonna hire some droopy dog? I don't like it. I'm like, they lie to us. They sit there and tell me it's not sunny outside when I can see the sky.

About what? I'm really thinking not the hype man. I haven't seen him like Kyle has, but the press secretary. She's the one who like, just doesn't stick to the truth. The cute one? Yes. Yeah, well all press secretaries are propagandists. Like that's their job to twist things and flip them.

And it just shucks. Well, I would say all of Trump's people are different than any other president. The way that they lie and just tell you what you can plainly see as untrue is true is a different thing. I just don't give any of them that much credit. Like I think that Trump's people get a lot more attention for it, but I don't think they're any more dishonest. The way I saw them all huddle around that 100 Biden laptop lie.

51 intelligence agents. You know, he's going after those 51 people. He took all 51 of those people's security clearances away and fired them all. Like, I love that. I love that. That was a knowing lie in the moment. There's's something beautiful about like the guy they were all going after is now all of their bosses You know like like like

Especially in the FBI and those there's all those people who who raided his house and investigated him. They're all fired You know, I was their job. They lied to me Like I I don't know that I would have voted for Trump even if I knew the truth, but they deliberately misinformed me. These are intelligence agents. The whole point was like an appeal to authority, you know, somebody who knows what they're doing.

And I think I said on PKA, I was like, this story sounds like horse shit from the beginning. You're telling me that Hunter Biden, living in California, goes to a computer repair shop in Delaware, drops off his computer, while the security cameras happen to be turned off, the owner is a MAGA guy, and then he turns up and says, look, I have Hunter Biden's laptop

and it has embarrassing stuff on it. This just sounds like a plant from the start. Turns out, true. And when there's 51 intelligence agents all telling me it's false, that this is Russian propaganda. And I'm like, you know, it kind of fits in with what I would have guessed, right? Cause it is kind of a wild story, right? Dropping off a laptop, not picking it up, the owner's MAGA. And it's a day that the security cameras were off. Like there's a lot of things

that just went weird, but turned out to be true. Yeah. I mean, there are like these intelligence agents, like knowingly lie about so much, like that I think it was John Brennan, the head of the CIA, who unironically came out after the Nord Stream pipeline, just cause that was such a hilarious example. And he was on Fox being like, you know, some talking heads like, so former CIA director Brennan,

what do you think happened with this Nord Stream bombing? And he was like, well, I think it's clear that Russia bombed their own infrastructure to show how serious they are about bombing other infrastructure. And the talking head's like, that's so fascinating. And you're obviously the former head of the CIA, so you wouldn't openly lie to me, that's not your job.

It's like, what, are you serious? And they run with stuff like that, and it's not a mistake. It's like, are you serious? And they run with stuff like that and it's not a mistake. It's like they're trying to mislead you. They're trying to trick you. In that case, I agree with you. In the 51 Agents, they were either knowingly lying or guessing and in either case, they shouldn't be signing their name

to something that says they know, because that's bullshit. I don't trust any of these any of these fucking people. Like, I don't think you get that high up unless you're a liar and just Ash Patel's running the show now. So we're in good hands. I got one of the always looks so every picture looks alarm. It looks alarm.

It looks scared in every picture. Like, yeah, well, what do you love this? Because he's on like 50 interviews there. They're like, what do you think are like big priorities? And he's like, well, it's time for America to wake up and prioritize Israel. And it's like, thank goodness. I was worried. Yeah, that's weight off my mind because that's something like we're always

forgetting. If it weren't for every politician talking about a 24-7 about how we're beholden to this Middle Eastern country, I might forget. I might think we're a country worlds away with our own problems. You know, like, I wish someone could explain to me what we get in return. That's in terms of service. A lot of the USAID stuff. It's like, you know, in exchange for I'll make it up, Iraqi Sesame Street, something like that is true. We're getting soft power and influence and a better vibe. And it's like, it's hard to put a dollar value on

that. I don't know if that's worth anything. And then in Israel, they're like, Oh, no, no, no, Israeli intelligence helps us. Really? Give me some good ones. Tell me what they told us. These fuckers didn't know they were getting attacked on October 7th. How great is their intelligence? Yeah, or now people are saying they did. And so you know who's who's to say there?

We don't know, but claims abound. I'm just I don't. I don't think there's there's no reason to be futzing about in the Middle East. You know, that's not for us. That's not for us. It's clearly not panned out. This is just going back to the same well of misery over and over. Stay out of there.

Yeah, that's one I would rather just not be in. Yeah. And then hopefully we don't have to support Ukraine in insane ways because Europe will take care of Europe's shit, hopefully. We'll see how that plays out. It has crossed my mind. Like, there's a non-zero chance that what Trump does turns out to be masterful, right? Either we get the mineral rights or, you know, like Ukraine still wins. One thing about Trump is you can be in, like, you know, like Ukraine still wins. One thing about Trump is you can be in like the back of the doghouse and it's not too late, you know, like he'll turn around. He doesn't have any like strong convictions on how he feels about things. If the situation changes, he will too. So like it might look like Ukraine is a done deal that he's turned his back on them, but not necessarily.

He could change his mind. Yeah, we'll see. I see lots of people just really, they call it Trump derangement syndrome, which I don't know if I'm going to go along with that one. That's an interesting phrase, but it's just people losing their minds about every single thing Trump does. And man, I watch montages of them on YouTube. And it's pretty convincing because you'll see 30 people in a row just losing their fucking minds. Democracy has fallen. Not since the Civil War has this much just on and on about the sky is falling. Like you said, you said that the Trump administration will tell about the it's the sky is falling like like it like yeah you said you said the Trump administration will tell you this that it's night when it's day, but

The a lot of the people on the left who are raising the alarm right now are saying The sky is falling the sky is falling and this guy's just not falling. It's just not I feel like Trump derangement syndrome Can work both ways though, you know like it I feel like Trump derangement syndrome can work both ways, though, you know, like when you start praising everything about this man, like he can do no wrong, that he's always playing 3D chess, that he's four steps ahead of everybody else. It's like, well, that's not right either. You know, when he bashes our allies and praises our enemies, it's like, you know, it's not as if he can't make a mistake. He can. he does. All the time. All of the I don't care about the stuff he says about allies

and enemies because I feel I hate that class of people and I feel like they have this sort of agreement to kiss each other's ass at every turn normally and Trump being Trump is just like rude and obnoxious and tacky and ignorant and just just like a boorish American. So I like the idea of it be like, you know, a guy from France, he doesn't really know how to run his country, you know, is this not good at his job? It's like, like, that guy's never been told that his entire life.

I guys never heard anything so rude from anyone. It's such an awful thing for another leader of the world to say to you. Oh, he might be like that regularly. It's great. I might be getting a new pope. I say that because he's 88 and has pneumonia, which is usually the end. If you're a guy, I wrote the boys, I told them, you know, Pope's about to die. They're going to crack out that pope hammer. So if you want some topical watching material, the young pope with Jude Law came out about five years ago, and it's about pope dies and it's time to get a new pope.

And because of some they do a big vote with the cardinals and things go awry and they elect a 45 year old Jude Law as the pope. Oh, that's prime pope in age. And you get like what do you actually why do I think it might be like does he find people? No, well, there's a little whiff of that, but it's not explicit. It's like maybe he's getting a little friendly He's getting as the book that's forbidden. The main thing is I'm okay. He's mean like like he's he's impersonal. He's all business, he's like friendships lead to ambiguities and misunderstandings.

What we have is a working relationship. You are beholden to me. Like, this old, like Italian, he meets his old Italian, like, grandma cook. He's like, oh, it's nice to meet you a pop. I cook you a carbonara. I cook you a lasagna, whatever you want for lunch. And he's like, sister, let's get a few things straight. And by the time he's done, there are tears pouring down her cheeks.

And by the way, while I'm talking, you can start preparing the carbonara. He comes to breakfast and they have a feast laid out for him, like out of Aladdin or something and he's like, you may not know this, I don't eat very much. I don't eat very much at all and I never eat breakfast. For breakfast, I only have a zero sugar cherry coke.

He's like, well, we will send someone out there right now for your zero sugar cherry coke. Well, I'll wait right here for it then. He's the guy. I've been a slave in all day and he tells me he wants a coke. That's what he does, yeah. He's just super, super rude and kind of flipping everything on his head. And there are all these pompous, like, I don't know, the second in command of the Pope, like whoever that guy is, all those people. Some cardinal.

He's just shitting on all those people and like tearing down their authority. It's a fun watch. It's a miniseries. Yeah. I don't know how... I know my Catholic friends are excited to get a new pope, potentially, because they really don't like... I was gonna ask, what do people think about the current pope? They really don't like some of the stuff... Like something that he took an enormous amount of hate from from a lot of Catholics, which is totally understandable is him being like, well, all religions are a path to salvation. And it's like, you're the pope. Like that's, that's explicitly not what your religion is. Like, like whoever the head Imam of Islam isn't going to be like, well, they are all good ways

to go. It's like, you know, it's like you're the head of a religion exclusivity is kind of a core part of that and so they saw that as very undermining you think if you asked trump what the best country was he'd have any like quandaries he's like well you know all the countries are good they have the pluses and minuses america baby america doesn't there's not even a close second no we're on top by so much we We got Gretzky style. This company is country America. Second best Puerto Rico. Third best soon to be Greenland, bitch. Canada can have four. Canada can have four.

Cause I still like our Canadian brothers. They've brought hockey to the world. Let's put a little respect on Canada's name. I mean, that's a negative. That's a negative. Wonderful. Positive. Shout out to the Canadians. Big talk for a guy who hasn't watched Shorzy yet. I'm guessing. I will though. I just finished it last night. Well, through season four, that's what's out. Okay. Well then you've, yeah, that's the same as finishing it. Yeah. I'm caught up. Is it better? Cause there there's gonna be more seasons.

Oh, okay. I highly recommend watching Your Honor with John, with what's his name from Breaking Bad whose name now doesn't. Brian Cranston. Walter White. Brian Cranston. Brian Cranston, it feels like,

it's not as good as Breaking Bad, but it has a similar vibe and a similar feel to it because Brian Cranston is always on the edge of losing everything. He's like juggling so many things. So many plates. He's a wonderful judge. He's like an altruistic, wonderful judge who takes time out of his, like he goes and does investigation

himself so he can better judge the scenario. Like if he wants to know what the house where the crime happened to look like he he's cross examining witnesses for the prosecution because he knows they're lying and he's and he's helping the witness helping the defendant out. Like he's he's a wonderful judge. The cops see him as a too liberal, but his son hits and runs the most dainty hits but his son hits and runs the most dang, hits, runs and kills the son of the most dangerous gangster in the city. So now Brian Cranston has to hide that murder or he knows that gangster is going to have his son killed. Like there's no way his son can come clean and like just

do what's right. Because that's what they were going to do. They go to the police station. We're going to turn you're going to turn yourself in. It's going to be OK. I've got friends. I've got lawyers. We're well, the right thing will happen here. Justice will be served. And then he sees like, oh, no, that's the guy. And he's like, get back in the car.

Get back in the car. And he's like, Dad, I want to do the right thing. Get back in that fucking car. And so the rest of the show is there. And every step of the way, they're just I want to do the right thing get back in that fucking car So the rest of the show is there and every step of the way they're just There are some moments where people just get shot in the face and you don't know they're about to get shot There's like crazy shit that happens. There's murders and is it any serious like like a ten-episode thing. There's two seasons There's two seasons. I don't know if there's going to be a third because I'm halfway through season two right now But if season one was great and season two has been good too

It's it's it's got that guy from the wire who's the crooked black politician who always he's always seen she Judge Flesher in your YouTube shorts Haven't even heard of him. Okay, so this guy's a judge. He's real judge. He works in Texas. If you recognize him, like he always wears crazy suits. He doesn't wear black.

Yeah, I know this guy. Okay, yeah, yeah. And like it's fun to watch him do his job. Probable cause seems to be a really common thing that he's ruling on. And for example, there'll be some guy, like what do we get out of this? Possession, we have him on possession.

He's like, okay. And his attorney, his defending attorney is arguing probable cause. And they're like, all right, why did they like pull him off the side of the road? He was walking and empty his pockets and check them out. And they're like, well, he was jaywalking. He was jaywalking, jaywalking.

You pulled this guy to the side, you made him empty all his pockets, you found weed in his pocket and you got him for, no, no. There's no probable cause to do this search. This is walking while black. That's what you really got him on. And he lets the guy free. It happens a lot. It works, it works, Your Honor. Anyway, you said he was a good judge. And I'm like, this guy seems like he's a good

man. And then he gives a speech. He's like, listen to the guy who had pot on him. It's like, life is hard. You got to stop being dumb. Do you work right now? And they, yes or no. And he's like, hi, they're either on the straight and narrow or they're not. And he's like, you gotta do better than this. You gotta straighten out and you can't be, you can't put yourself in this situation.

It won't always go right for you. Yeah. I've watched a ton of him. And then when you start watching him, you get all the other, like, I don't know, TV judges, YouTube judges. I don't know how it even works, how you're even allowed to have the old guy from like Massachusetts or something.

I bet you know him too. I would if I saw him, I bet he does a lot of traffic cam cases. I saw the one where the guy spin on the judge. I've seen that one. Oh, I'm not sure I've seen it. I saw that clip where that dude like lept Over the bench and attacked on that lady judge. That was pretty fun. Yeah, that's the one that's the one And it's so funny because at first

It he was polite like it's it was he was like she's like well you need to take care of that I was like, oh, yes, ma'am. Yes. Yes judge. I I'll get that. Take care right away. Oh, and on this other thing, I'm going to ruin your life. Bitch. Excuse me. And he's coming over the whole fucking thing coming at her. It's great. I promise I won't have seen the guys in front of her. She's a woman. He's a black man. and he's like talking and she's asking him questions and she goes, did you have this crab apple in third grade or whatever it was? And he's like, what? Yeah. And she's like, I'm married.

And all of a sudden he starts crying. He's so embarrassed at what he's become as an adult. He was a bit of a mess. He went to jail, but he came out kind of inspired and turned his life around. It seemed like for real, like he got educated and employed and became a good man. I like the ones for family members attack, attack people, you know, the victims family members. I saw one. In Texas, it seems like you're allowed. allowed. It's like you have a UFC when you knock somebody out, they let you get like one or two ground shots for free when the guy's unconscious. It's like you attack a

guy in court and in Texas and they're like, one, two, all right, come on, we better break this up, boys. I saw the father come from behind. He comes from behind the guy, the guy's handcuffed and hits him like from behind in the jaw and knocks him out And then he's on top of him and is wailing on him He gets a couple three in before they pull the father off the killer or whatever. He was Yeah, but all the bailiff is like no, please You might hurt him Use your elbow you might just use your elbow don't st stomp on him over and over. I'm all the way over here

I can't stop you. There's a there's a story right now where a 67 year old had raped a 14 year old girl and then He they'd gotten all these protection orders against him and there were charges pending but then he's still contacting the girl and he kidnaps the girl a second time and has her in his car and the father tracks him down and kills him, shoots the 67 year old rapist, has the daughters in his car, kills him and rescues his daughter and the dad is on first degree murder charges now. Boo!

What state was that? I don't remember the state off top. It wasn't Texas, I bet. It wasn't Missouri. They give you the key to the city for that. They get first degree murder. You do something like that in Missouri and you're going to get like the Dumbledore treatment

where he's like, you approach this man who is molesting your child and you beat him after death, tearing out his nails and torturing him. And for that, I award you the highest honor. You get that sort of thing. People meme on that all the time, but it's so true. And it's kind of bad writing because, Yeah.

I'm going to be very impartial. First of all, five points to Harry Potter for Gryffindor. One for glasses, Harry. Wonderful, wonderful. Five points, make it ten.ffindor wonderful glasses Harry wonderful Like you would just willy-nilly take away and give vast amounts of points that had been accrued over a year by hundreds of people like imagine you and 299 of your other Slytherin had been working all year fucking you got good grades

trivia and pop quizzes and turning plants into demons and and and making potions and and flying and all sorts of stuff you've done the right I'm not sure how hard that work is it's the work we do okay all day project changing the having a headmaster with like open resentment towards a quarter of his school is insane Like and also slither and fuck you because some guy bullied me a long time ago So I don't remember that was a reason he hated Slytherin He doesn't he could have just changed it to a different animal in a different name if he was that fucking Twisted up about it pretending to dislike Slytherin and secretly cooperating with it's the guy's last name the guy's last name was Slytherin oh and he hated mr. Slytherin no he doesn't hate Slytherin at their or their house or he

was always fucking him over I saw the movies and I remember Harry he's he's he's looking out for Harry he was a ref, just like who wanted to get Harry records. And so he was having to call the the true powerhouse that was getting the best grades and doing the most extracurriculars, which was Slytherin, apparently. Is that not fair? I mean, they're literally like a group of evil people. It really didn't make any sense for there to be a Slytherin house.

They went to that sorting hat and it's like, oh, and all the demons will go to this house. It's like, why don't we just kick the demons out? Why aren't we even educating the Slytherin people? They seem like shitty people. Not all of them. I don't remember any of the characters other than that fat one and the blonde one and his like goons.

You're telling me everybody in the Slytherin house, none of them were just doing homework and like excited to go home for Christmas break. Come on. I mean, I'm sure they were but you don't see a lot of that. It's very uh, very uh, one dimensional those characters in her books. And Hufflepuff was sort of the special ed, my understanding. Yeah. Yeah, they were. They're like good-hearted. They were there like for the right reasons. And it's like we know you're bad at magic and that you're like,

when you ask what a girl looks like and they say she's sweet, she's sweet. She's really sweet. Cause you don't want to be mean. What's Hufflepuff good at? Are they smart or brave or strong? Oh, they're sweet, man. They're really sweet. They're sweet guys. Yeah. And then Ravenclaw is all the nerds. They're like, no, actually that's not how you cast this spell. It's like, shut up idiot.

I wanted so much to be Harry Potter. I guess I still do hmm. Like, no, actually, that's not how you cast this spell. It's like, shut up, idiot. I wanted so much to be Harry Potter. I guess it still did really. Like, like I would love that's one of the fantasy worlds that I would love to exist in. It's it might be the best fantasy world to exist in. It would be fun. Something about me like any other witch though, like, no one's tried to kill the other ones. No, I want to be Harry Potter.

Harry Potter is like. Super rich, super popular, and like he gets so much pussy like Harry Potter would get so much pussy. There's no way I'd settle for Jenny's Jenny's ass. Oh, my God. I didn't know Harry Potter was rich. Yeah, his parents left him like a vault full of money. Oh, those goblins showed him his money vault.

I remember now. Yeah, it's like you have to walk into the room that holds the gold that he has. And it's just an enormous amount, which is kind of fucked because his friend is like poverty stricken and often wearing like clothes with holes in them. And like there's a whole year where Ron's wand doesn't work.

And nobody like takes care of that. Nobody stepped up. You just give him like a, give him one for the lost and found, like help him out. Ron's wand doesn't work. And nobody takes care of that. Nobody stepped up. You just give them one for the lost and found, help them out. I did like, like JK Rowling stereotypes are so funny where she's like, all right, we got one Asian. Her name's gonna be Ching Chong Bing Bong.

I know it. And there's gonna be a, okay, we need a redheaded Irish family. All right, ten kids poor dirty Really gauche loud obnoxious weasel the Weasley's call them No, the other Asian girl do you know what a real name is Cho Chang it's Cho Chang like In the movie in in the book and the movie. Oh, yeah, Cho Chang. I mean that that's Harry's girlfriend. It's Asian. Yeah, that's, that's probably,

there probably are people named Cho Chang and they want to be Cedric diggity or diggery or whatever his name is. When you're 15, why'd he die? He was murdered by Voldemort. Yeah. He got killed by Voldemort during that tournament and he was actually Harry's number one competition in that tournament. And so I thought when I watched it the first time I'm like dude Nobody is gonna buy that Harry didn't just Murder this guy to win the tournament and not even one person asked a question He was like hey

No one saw what happened but this guy that I have a public feud and like rivalry with was killed tragically who's to say and Everyone is like, what a mystery. It was a it wasn't Voldemort though. It was Peter Pettigrew because so Peter Pettigrew kills him. And then I think they used the then they use Harry's hair to bring Voldemort back. That was that was in Voldemort came back. Yes. Cedric Diggory is played by what's name, from Twilight? That's Robert Pattinson. Robert Pattinson, he's a good actor. Yeah. Yeah, he is. I like him in that Lighthouse movie

where he and Willem Dafoe are losing their minds in black and white at the lighthouse. That's a really good one, I like that. I think Kyle recommended that one to me. That's a Roger, or Robert, Roger Eagers? Robert Eagers? Whatever. Movie, he's really specific about the dialect being correct for the time period that the movie takes place in. He did The Witch too,

if you've seen that where everyone speaks very- That's a good one. I like very- The one with the two- Sixth century. The two V's. Yeah. The Vich. All right. Time to do the Hangout. Hope you guys enjoy it. Yes. We do have to make it to the Hangout. GG's. Don't know why I said that.
