Painkiller Already - PKN 553

Episode Date: March 25, 2025

All right, PKN 553. How's it going, Taylor? It's going good. Woody's having a busy day. Yeah. Didn't didn't see the messages and that's all right. I should have sent more. That should have sent even more.

You got to start like two weeks early. You only started a week early letting him know about the changes. Yes. The Blues game, which I'm looking forward to that. It's going to be fun. My friend got tickets to like one of the box seats where you can just like unlimited snacks, unlimited chicken wings, burgers, hot dogs. The month they're playing the Montreal Canadians.

Oh, are you going to are you going to boo the Canadian anthem when it comes on? Oh, I will get the opportunity Maybe I should maybe I should make a huge scene I wonder if st. Louis is one of the cities that would boo. Oh for sure You need like a 51st state shirt. You need a whole thing If the if the if the other team has any players who were like foreign nationals I'd be like we, we're going to deport you. Trump's sending you home. I get real nasty about it. Yeah.

Did we have a we'd have a rough time in the NHL if they nixed all the Canadian players that that would hurt everyone. We don't know the Canadians would stay, but any like any foreign nationals they might have on their team, they'd have to go. Oh, is it like a Russian guy? Yeah. You got any Slovenian, Slovakians, any any Europeans in there? We don't like the OK with their gib anymore. Yeah, I'd be fine with that, because I don't think it would hurt us on the blues too much. That would really hurt teams like Washington.

Losing Ovechkin and some of the good guys. That guy looks so old, like he's like fully gray, toothless. Ovechkin? Ovechkin. Yeah, he's he's a couple of years older than you. About to crush the record. And he's you know, those people who are like extremely athletic and fit, but they always carry some extra weight and it ends up working out for them.

Like he's one of those guys who's like eating like multiple 12 inch Subway sandwiches during in between periods and eating chicken parm as his like favorite pregame meal. Always like 20 pounds overweight. You know, if you're paid like like 12 million dollars a year, whatever it is. No, I was going to order from Jimmy John's for lunch. Jimmy John's looks I was like, how much do you think a large sandwich at Jimmy John's is before you do anything to it? A large thing? Uh, probably like $15.

$19. That's $19 before I could, before I changed it, before I like put my banana peppers on there or whatever. I was like $19 is, I mean, the meat is $12 a pound. It's like I can get so much delicious roast beef. I just, I, that's what I did. I ordered groceries at that point. I ordered groceries and I got a pound of ham and a loaf of bread. And now I've got enough sandwiches

for a whole baseball team. It was crazy. Twenty dollars. And I bet the bread's better, too, because I've never had a good bread experience at Jimmy John's. It's part of the reason I've for many years now they've just been not a part of my life. Like sometimes you say that like it's a like it's a racist uncle. No, way worse than that. I don't mind my uncles. But what uncle Steve said about Palestine, he's just not, we just don't want him at our house anymore.

There's too much anti-semitism. That or that terrible Jimmy John's bread. It's dry. Dude, the Jimmy John's bread sucks. I remember when I was working at Enterprise probably 12 years ago now, they'd always do this shit where it would be like, like I'm already working a 10 to 10 and they'd be like, Hey, we need you to kind of stay late, you know, all the way till midnight. Cause there's a plane coming in and you know, Steve, uh, lied about feeling sick and got high and went home. And so you need to stay later. There was, there was this one dude who like consistently would be like, I'm not feeling good. I got to go home, There's this one dude who like consistently would be like, I'm not feeling good. I got to go home.

But just clear would just be high. And he would like brag to it to me at work and be like, it would be like yesterday, dude, I was just getting high. I just wanted to go home. And I'm like, yeah, you realize, like I had to stay because of that, like you shithead, like you do. But anyway, this boss, this manager who's a really cool guy, actually, I liked him a lot, but he would sometimes like goose us up and be like, all right, I'm ordering in lunch for everyone.

I'd be like, yes, just a tiny bright spot in my dismal life. A little bit of lunch right now would be nice. And then sometimes it would be fucking Jimmy John's sandwiches where clearly the people at Jimmy John's are like, hey boss, they won't notice they didn't get any meat if we tripled the mayonnaise. Just the most disgusting, despicable sandwiches with the hardest bread you can imagine,

the most translucent, I could have replaced my eyeglass lenses with pieces of their ham and I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. It was so thin and nothing. On Saturday at work, we would order in from, or like the dealership would order in, the catered from either Blimpies,

which if you don't, I don't know if it's reasonable or not. That's way better, yeah, yeah. I think of it as like bad subway. Like cheaper subway. Like I always thought of Blimpies is the worst but I mixed my mistake I mixed it up with quiznos quiznos is the better subway It would be that Oh quiznos is pretty great. It would be that or it would be fried chicken from I think Popeyes, I think Popeyes because you know, they were all black and they loved that

It was really hard to talk him into like talk. I wanted tacos every week. I'd be like, hey talk him into like talk. I want tacos every week. I'd be like, hey, tacos, right? And then like and then we had one Mexican guy, Paco Paco, be like, yeah, tacos, right? Me and him. And then there'd be like 18 black guys like, nah, yeah, you get extra dirty rice, though. The Nigerian guy working there with you, he wasn't down for tacos.

He'd have been down. he'd have been down. The Nigerian guy was, that's a different kind of black person entirely. That might as well, like they're so different. Africans and African-Americans are two different groups of people entirely. That's a funny conversation. Sometimes I search different ethnic conflicts on Twitter just with random country names, because it's like, like you search like Kenya and Somalia or an iron, like Nigeria, Kenya. And it's like just the most frothing hatred between two people where it'll be some guy in Nigeria being like, look at me.

I'm from Somalia. I have a silly head shape and I eat with my hands with dirty feet. And if all the other Nigerians are like, that is so true. That is so funny. That is what they are like. Yeah, I have a silly head shape and I eat with my hands with dirty feet. And all the other Nigerians are like, that is so true. That is so funny. That is what they are like. And then the Somalians are like, you know, you guys are bullies and, you know, you beat us up in your neighborhoods. You're just savages.

Dude, they're like different, like they're almost like different species. I think that's what I, they genuinely are because I had that, like the Nigerian guy I was there and he was huge. He was maybe six, four, two 40 or something like, like fit and tall and just huge and good looking. And then the Somalian guy, he was like this peanut headed, emaciated, gross little guy with like like skinny everywhere and all the wrong places. He had that sunken in like I am the captain now face. Yeah. That's what they get him for.

They'll be like some Somali will be like, you be quiet Nigeria, you are a backward and shitty country. And the Nigerian will be like, get out of my face, you light bulb headed freak. You do not belong in Nigeria. We are a great nation and your kind ruin it. You can do that with any country. You can also search, it's harder to find with Asian, like on Twitter at least, because in the Asian countries,

they're fighting in their own scribbles. And so you can't search it correctly. And so mostly it's the African one. But also you're right, the Africans who are moved here from Africa and are now African Americans, they seem to have a lot of resentment for black people from here, where they seem to have this very like bootstraps mentality and they look around and are like, I do not like this.

Yeah, my Somalian buddy, he had a ton of kids, as you can imagine, like in the teens, I remember that. Oh wow. Like 13, 17, somewhere in there. And one of them, like his oldest son was old enough to drive and he would come in every now and then. And he had his buddies with him and then he would leave. And then Mohammed would be like, look at him with his ninja friends

pants hanging by the asshole, by the asshole Kyle. Why can he not be, look at you. And he like adjusts my tie. You same age as my boy. Is asshole showing for everyone Kyle. I'm like, I don't think they're trying to show off their assholes, they're just like sagging their pants. Cause they think that looks cool.

Yes, sag, the sag. Like he's like, hey, that's a word he could grasp on to. I do not like de-sag. It is disrespectful to this wonderful Ford pre-owned dealership. I mean, we had new and pre-owned, I'll have you know, okay? We were a corporate store, all right? They come in here with their pants sagging as though there is not a magic machine in the back with the coldest soda you can imagine. The time allowed to purchase from with coins given to me by my boss. You know what I will be doing back home.

Trying to protect myself from the, a rhino pack. He said, do you ever see a black hawk down? I was like, yeah, yeah, I saw that. He's like, that was me on the roof with the RPG. I'm like, haha, funny, right? He's like, yes, very funny. This is like, wait, it's like, wait, I think that was Somalia. So now you're the Somali. Yeah, no, you guys.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he wasn't a terrorist. I think they dealt a force to most of those guys. But still Mo was a great guy with a terrible family. I don't understand having all those kids, man. That's a cultural thing. I think maybe it goes back to cultures and times where infant infant mortality was huge or maybe you needed that big self-made workforce on your own substance farm, et cetera.

But when I see people even today with like four kids, what the fuck are you doing? What do you see? Four is crazy. I'm like, get off of her. I leave her alone. At least in my head, the six is the number. I hear someone has six kids. I'm like, that's bananas. That's so many kids.

I have friends with four kids and they seem to be handling it fine. How seems like two and three is more like a sweet spot area. I wouldn't want to have one kid because all my friends who were only kids are like, oh, you're so lucky. You had brothers. You like could do stuff and play games. I was by myself. Couldn't do anything. If the neighborhood kids couldn't play, it was like, well, yeah. You like, see, didn't that kind of suck? Like having a brother would have been sick. Oh, it would have been great. I was just all by myself all the time. Yeah, it sucked. Yeah. So I think that's a good

argument. Like two of my, yeah, two of my close friends from high school got married to each other. They're still my close friends. They're actually the ones I'm going to the blues game tonight with. And they were both only kids. They got married. And then they had four kids because they were like, and I've talked to both of them privately and they're like, yeah, being an only kids, they got married and then they had four kids because they were like, and I've talked to both of them privately and they're like, yeah, being an only child, it fucking sucks. You're so damn bored all the time. And so both of us agreed, like we want as many kids as we can handle. And they got to four and they were like, that's, you know, that's it. This, we may have, this is two, this is as much as we can handle. I, like my exposure to that, because I don't have any friends with like families like that.

My only exposure to that is tick tock and stuff. And I see I see these people who are my age who have like four or five kids. And it's this daily hassle to like they all have activities and they all have like special extracurriculars and and their schooling as well and each of them has their own individual Aspirations and goals these little people that I'm supposed to be like fucking raising. Oh my god Can I tell you can I tell you Taylor? It's a little too much that I have four Baldur's Gate characters to maintain All right, that's a lot to deal with I got a lot of responsibility to maintain. All right. That's a lot to deal with. I got a lot of responsibility. Minsk needs the the necklace of Constitution, but so does Jahira. How do I make that choice? I only have one. I only have one necklace. I don't know what to do. Yeah. What would

I do if I had two kids and they wanted they both want them wants to go to football camp. The other wants to go to like surf camp. I can only afford one of those camps. I won't tell you right now. Sorry. Daddy has to get back to Baldur's gate. So, and mommy can only drive one car at a time. So- We all play the clarinet in this house. We all play the clarinet. We voted.

We're all cheering a spitty clarinet. A recorder. Yeah. It seems like the roughest part, at least from all my friends, because I have a number of friends with kids, Yeah, the it seems like the roughest part, at least from all my friends, I have a number of friends with kids that like the really young baby time seems more annoying. And then I've seen a couple of my friends get to that point where like

their son is like five, six years old. And now I see him and it's like, oh, now this is just like a little fella now. Like he's like, oh, now this is just like a little fella now. Like he's like, he has like the same affectation, the same like look of his parents. Like they, they enjoy doing stuff together. Like one of my buddies was like, oh dude, my son was obsessed with Spider-Man. We've talked about this before. Spider-Man is beating the bricks off of every other superhero as far as young kids are concerned. Like it's Spider-Man and then a zillion miles and then fucking Batman or whatever. And he's like, and all he wanted to do is play like Batman and our Spider-Man pretend with me. And, you know, doing that every Saturday in a row for a long

time, that's a lot. And so I started, you know, I'd tell him, I'd be like, Hey, you drink your milk upstairs. I'll be up in a second. And then we can go out in the back and play." And I took a couple of tootskies off my weed pen and man, I go out there and I'm the best father there's ever been. I'm playing. I'm creating power-ups that he can earn through different neighborhood activities or feats of strength. And I'm like, oh my God, I wish my dad would have done stuff like that with me because that sounds so fun. Dude if you're like five and your dad's like all in playing whatever you know silly superhero thing you want that would be a blast. Not so much. No he was teaching me to fire a pistol. It was we had better things to do. Like dad was like dad was just looking for

someone who could play his games with him, and he would like check in with me every couple years. Nah, you still can't play, huh? Well, see you later. Like, I had to grow up quick. I'm 12 years old trying with all my might to draw a deer bow. Well, you're too weak, Kyle. You can come hunting with me next year.

Yeah. You had to work hard because you were like, fuck, if I can't draw this bow, it's another year of not being around dad and like looking up both lanes of my rural home and being like, yep, once again, no other kids my age. What about the kids I go to school with? They're also kind of far away. I would imagine are too far to like, you know, like school with? Oh, they're also kind of far away, I would imagine. Or too far to like, you know, jog to.

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The nearest that was my age and the nearest kid, my age that I went to school with, I don't know, five miles? That may as well be on the other side of the world if you're a kid. Yeah, like all the way through down country roads into town on the highway and then we'll get to where the people live. Yeah yeah yeah yeah I was nowhere near anybody like that. Was the whole

school really rural or were you like even at the school more rural people? It's a big, rural way. It's a big rural County and there, there are three or four towns in it, not exactly cities, um, where most of the populations are, but again, it's rural. So there are a lot of thousand acre farms. And when you can imagine what that does, the population density when a person owns a thousand acres. Uh, so, so nobody's near anybody, you know, our farms a couple hundred acres

and it's surrounded by other farms that are all multi-hundred acre farms. So there's nobody near anywhere out there when you get in the country. It has its own benefits. I mean, I get perks. I mean, especially for what I ended up doing, right? Like blowing shit up and stuff.

You can't do that with neighbors. No, we had some ATVs that usually spent time in, obviously on the farm, my grandparents' farm, and we'd like ride them around there. And at one, I think my, there's probably my grandparents had to buy a couple new ATVs at some point when I was maybe 10, the old one was junky and they wanted to get a couple more. So me and my brothers could all ride around and have fun and we'd have friends down to their house in the country and have fun with it. And while they were still up there in St. Louis before they'd gone back down to their house, they like brought the trailer with the ATVs to our house and we had a big enough backyard, like we're in a neighborhood, but we had a big enough backyard that we could like get backed up

to woods and there was enough room that like we could like tool around back there and like, you know, not nothing like a pasture on a farm, but like plenty of room to get going high speed and have a good time. And so like, I guess my dad just feeling risky was like, you know what boys, drive them around, drive around. And so I remember being like, like 10 years old and being like, wow, this can't be allowed. And then like we were driving around like me and a couple of friends or my brothers, whoever it was, whipping these things around the backyard

and like a police helicopter came. Like there was a, I had never seen a police helicopter but it flew over our backyard. And I was like, huh, maybe that's the end of it. And it wasn't that they sent they sent a cop to be like, he didn't get us in trouble or anything. He was just like, hey, guys. You're in like a residential neighborhood.

You can't be riding ATVs around in your backyard. Someone complained, I guess. Someone complained. Yeah, I hate that. I only had one neighbor that would complain about our blowing stuff up and stuff, but they would always do it. And it was like she was waiting by the phone as soon as she would hear the first shot

or the first explosion, she'd call them. But they knew what the deal was. The cops would show up and be like, hey, Kyle, what are you doing? They knew me at that point. They'd been there three or four times. And cops are usually gun guys. What are you doing? Like they knew me at that point. They'd been there three or four times and you know Cops are usually gun guys. So if you're like, well, I've got this belt-fed machine gun

You know what Rambo shoots? This is the this is the one Rambo shot actually, right? This is sly this is sly's machine gun and we're gonna you see those get those clowns down there. Yeah, I do Down there, yeah, I know right we're gonna let them have it. Are those clouds down there? Yeah, I know. Right. We're going to let them have it. Can I watch? That's what would happen like 99% of the time. And because we're also in the country and the zoning there, they can't stop us anyway. There's nothing they can say or do about noise. Yeah, they would have to bring a civil suit against us to actually stop it. And they would have to argue that something about the noise was they would have to argue damages from our noise, basically, which was never going to happen with that fucking trailer trash that lived near us. Fuck those people. So I would blow up shit

all the time just to annoy them. Like we weren't even filming. And I'd be like, you want to set one off? I'm like, yeah. All right, come on. Explosions around the clock. I remember my mom would like, she had a thing where sometimes she would just insist that some of our neighbors kids, usually they'd be a few years older than me. So like I'd be 10 and maybe the neighbors kids are like 14 or 15. And so I would like look out and see them doing 14 and 15 year old kids stuff and be like, Oh man, I wish I could go play

with the neighbors. So that would be cool. And my mom would like always be like, I don't want you near those boys. Like those boys are, are, are a bad influence. I heard something. And like sometimes my mom would like say things influence. I heard something. And like sometimes my mom would like say things like way too real for the age where like, you know, eight, eight years old and there's like some, you know, family in the neighborhood. And I'd be like, she'd be like, you know, you all right, go and play. Don't, don't go down to the Stevenson's house though. Don't go past the Stevenson's house. And I'd be like, why? And she'd be like, well, I'm almost positive that the guy who lives one house down,

Susan told me he's a child molester. Oh, shit. And so that's, you know, I'm not happy he even lives this close, but you know, just be careful. And it just being eight and being like, yeah, yeah, don't want to get molested. How big of a fear was that with you growing up? Not just molestation, but kidnapping,

because I believe that my my particular little generation Occurred or my childhood took place during that John Walsh America's most wanted like popularity thing where man it seemed like danger was around every corner Somebody wanted me they were gonna get me and they had they had explained that I was going to be tortured if I was taken. Oh, yeah, I was like a Russian soldier. They was like, do not be taken. They will do terrible things to you, Kyle. You keep this poison Mike and Ike on a necklace around you and they eat it if you're taken. That's what it was like. They were like, you don't want

them to take you. They take you. You don't even know what they'll do to you. It'll be awful, Kyle. They'll torture you. They'll take it. And I remember like, I don't know if someone told me this or if my little child brain just thought of like something painful that would happen. But I did believe at the age of four that they would use a cat to scratch my back. Like, like they would like, I don't know, tie me up, I guess. That was the worst thing you could imagine. Yeah, yeah. And then they would take a cat, they would like hold it. And you know, and the cat would put its paws out cause it doesn't like to be picked up. And then they would rake it along my back.

Like using the cat as a torture implement. And four year old me had this visceral fear in any Kmart I was in that I might be taken away, that I would be scooped up, taken away to the bathroom, and there'd be a sack full of cats, and there'd be a mean man. I definitely didn't have a cat scratch fear. Because, and I don't remember the torture part of it. I remember my parents being concerned about kidnappers, but it was it never

seeped into my brain. I think even at that age, I was like, I don't think I'm enough of a looker. Like, like I think that these, these creeps are going to look for a your mom would be always looking out for your little brother. Always watch out for him. He, they're going to try to take him. What about me? You're fine. Always watch out for him. He they're gonna try to take him. Yeah, about me. You're fine. You're fine But mom, I'm eight and she's like, well you look 15 You look like you'd be hard to kidnap I'm gonna see son your voice cracked when you said that and so you're already out of the Out of the fear house as far as the yeah, I don't I feel like I I mean I caught the end of

or near the end, at least, of when kids were allowed to play outside, where it was just a normal thing, like in suburban, like in rural areas, always been normal because there's nobody around. But like suburban areas, like it was totally fine. My parents would just be like, I go outside and like ride bikes and do whatever and then come back whenever you are done. How old were you when you got left alone at home? Like you and like, I guess you were,

I believe you're the oldest, right? Yeah, yeah. So I would have been like, if I was 10 and my brother was eight and my parents took my youngest brother who would have been like three at the time with them, they would leave me home. Like if it was just me and they were like going to a friend sporting event or something, I would be taught. I'd be left home alone at like 10, like 10 and on and I thought that was pretty sick. Those were fun afternoons where it'd be like, all

right, we're going to, we're going to your brother's baseball game. We'll be back in many hours. You're, you just have the house to yourself. And because it's like, hell, yeah, just video games, drinking as many sodas as I wanted, because no one could stop me. I can remember having a dance party watching like MTV or something. And like like dancing. Yeah, yeah. Dancing furiously in the living room with the TV up as loud as it would go.

Like like like Home Alone Dance party. Let's go. This is probably like, I don't know, Britney Spears or something. Probably, probably dancing to that. Yeah. And then it changed when like, when I was like 11 or 12 and I was left home alone, it was like, all right, time to masturbate, time to jack off just as many times as I can before people get back and I have privacy. Yeah. No, I think maybe like 11 or 12 probably. I don't know about 10, but then they started leaving me home alone to just fend for myself.

There was never really any fear that someone would come get us, though. It was more that I guess I'd burn the house down or something like that. I liked fires. I liked starting small fires. Not dangerous fires, but I like to, like I wouldn't, I see kids do this thing on the internet where they'll like walk up to something and set it on fire and they get scared and run away. It's like, I wouldn't do that, but I'd make a little, I would make campfires basically that I'd seen in movies, but I would make them without any supervision or permission. And I was like, eight. I think that's fine.

Yeah, I did too. You learned a lot about survival. I remember I burned a bunch of ants, or not even a bunch. I started burning ants in my backyard with a magnifying glass once because I saw like Dennis the menace do it or something and maybe like one swipe of the the solar you know laser through the anthill and I just had this feeling of like oh what are you what are you doing I didn't I didn't do that anymore I

felt bad about it I didn't do that but like um you know, we had a farm so fire ants were a menace So we would go around and get rid of them. We'd poison them and stuff I did have a magnifying glass one time so powerful. It was taken away from me after The adults recognized what I had it was the front out of an old-school Big screen TV like one of those box TVs the front part of an old school big screen TV, like one of those box TVs, the front part is plastic lens. And that, a plastic lens, it's like 45 inches wide. And so you can imagine it's a fucking three or four foot wide magnifying glass.

Dude, it would instantly like start fires. Like it would only focus down to about as big as a Red Bull can, but it was a Red Bull can of fire. It would just instantly set paper and grass and anything like that on fire. And it was clear that it was about to start melting anything else you put it on. And they were like, my grandpa was like, do you see? Do you see what Kyle has? Do you see? And they're like, yeah, he's got the old, the TV thing. He'll burn, he's gonna burn the house down. And then they saw me, they took it away from me,

they locked it in the shed and I never saw it again. Wow. Put an actual lock on the shed. I was so bummed out. That's pretty gay. I still want that thing today. If I had that thing right now, I'd be looking forward to after this show because I'd be going outside to like,

bright sunny day today. We're gonna get it. I'd be doing it. We had that. And I mentioned this before, but like my grandpa had this old shed, not my country grandpa, my grandpa, who was a butcher, and he had this big shed and with a bunch of like stuff that we shouldn't been playing with and he had like lawn darts from the 70s in there and so like my parents are my parents and my uncles and aunts like they'd all be inside like drinking and eating and having a good time and I was maybe I was a young kid because it was just like my oldest cousin who was a

girl is a girl and you know she wasn't interested in our shit and then the one under her was the oldest boy cousin who was maybe two three years older than me and then it was me and my younger brother and so we just went out there with these lawn darts and we're just going like just like heaving them in the air and just looking and then like enjoying how hard they would hit the ground because it wasn't like they would just kind of stick in, like they were heavy.

And so it was like half of like the spaceship-shaped device that followed the spike would also be in the ground. We'd be like, oh, this is sick. And I don't remember, but one of my fun ruining ants came out there and was like, grandpa, you're not gonna believe what your grandsons are doing. They're throwing lawn darts in the air and kind of watching them.

And he was like, all right, we got to, we got to put a stop to this. I guess that's pretty lame. And I thought that I was like, this is so ridiculous that at this grandpa's house, I can't even throw lawn darts in the air with my cousins. And at my other grandpa's house, I can just like take my shotgun with me on the ATV and drive out into some pasture like wooded area and then like shoot branches. Like whatever. Yeah, that was sick. Like that was that was like an interesting crossover. Because all my like city suburban friends, sometimes they would come down

to the country grandparents house, and I was always surprised when they were shocked at the amount of shit they were allowed to do. They'd be like, all right, what are we doing? I'm like, we're going to go ride ATVs and probably maybe shoot guns later. And they're like, okay, well, where are the adults? And I'd be like, what the fuck are you talking about, Homo? It's just us out here. Like, I just goofing around. My house was a fun house to come like hang out at because there was very little adult supervision.

My dad always kept a large amount of cash on hand, which I would get out and play with. So we'd play like, yeah, I was like, you ever ever roll a pile of money before they're like no So we play with it. We have a fight and then and then I count it to make sure they hadn't stolen In the back of my head I'm like now I can't see if I could trust you as a friend And then you know, there was there was a little bit of beer laying around somewhere I'm sure if we wanted to do that But there was definitely guns to fuck around with and and I was always big into making I guess you'd call them bombs today Improvised explosive device if you were a veteran of the Iraq war you know him as IEDs

But we thought him as firecrackers because Georgia didn't have fireworks. So I had to make my own fireworks. So we'd make fireworks and blow up stuff, usually not animals because that seems weird to me. There'd always be one kid that I would invite like, can we blow up a frog? Like, nah, we're probably not going to torture any animals today, Andrew. But check back with me next week. So I think my place and then paintball. I have my own paintball course. Torturing animals today Andrew, but check back with me next week So I think my place and then paintball I had my own paintball course No, so it was a good time to do that. I the problem with that was all my friends are poor I didn't have a single friend who had as much disposable income as I had at least I would say

Or maybe that they didn't have as much for like silly shit. I guess that's what disposable income is for. But it would be so fucking lame. These parents would send their kids to go play paintball and they wouldn't send them with enough paintballs to play paintball. And so they'd run out and they'd be like, all right, well, I guess this is humiliating for you,

I guess, here's some of mine. It was always the same thing every time. It was great when I grew up and everybody who drove to the paintball field could afford to play fucking paintball. My hobbies were always too expensive to, like, I don't know, find a lot of people who are into them, too. That's why I ended up like my dad was usually my hobby buddy, because he had the exact amount of disposable income that I had

Coincidentally I Remember I don't think kids now Go out and just play in neighborhoods at all Like I feel like that's not good kids Not good. Maybe not the good kids. Like, like when I see like ghetto kids on, um, on the internet, they're all hanging out together. They got like a little squad, you know, they're running scams and stuff, beating people up.

Yeah. Well, I mean, their parents aren't keeping a close eye on them. Parents. He added an S to the end. Their parental figure is not keeping an eye on the. Yeah, probably not. I can't imagine like being a. Like young kid now, like eight and having parents that wouldn't let me go outside and play in the neighborhood, like having everything like they'd probably give me a phone at this point

or like air tag me and be like, all right, go play kind of. I would be, I often say it's about having kids of my own. And it's not just that I hate kids and the responsibility and all that stuff. It's also that I would feel this tremendous amount of pressure to give them the best headstart into like intellectual adulthood as possible. I would, you know how kids can learn that second language so easily. Their brains are so malleable. They're these incredible sponges. It's like a dog as well. You know, it's important that you teach your dog to sit and stay and come when you call early. Their brains are malleable little sponges.

And so I'd have that little fucking eight month old with an iPad, you know, learning to fucking read or something. It would be so monumentally important to me that my eight month old could read at an eight month level or whatever the fuck. Like I would hate to have that responsibility. I don't want to worry about if that kid can fucking read at all. It seems like if you're a good parent, you have fun with that. Or at least that's what I've seen from my friends

who I consider good parents. What is dumb too, like not special ed, but just dumb. Just a fucking retard. Like he's just slow. I think that probably sucks. You're like trying to teach your kid something that for you was very easy at that age and he's like, just not getting it. That would be reading I had down reading it reading I had down really quickly.

I remember struggling with the color brown. How do you struggle with colors? Well, I was three or so, but I specifically remember crying about black and brown. And I can still remember that the real issue was that the crayon looked differently on the paper, but I couldn't explain that to the adult. But you you wanted the crayon to look the way like the paper on it did. It was a different color when it was on The paper and that was confusing that and I remember I was like Yeah, I remember crying like uncontrollably. I was three. I Definitely remember this because I remember what room I was in that room didn't exist when I was four

There's a bunch of those weird little fragmented childhood memories I have that are just like a moment of a day, one time that was completely inconsequential, but for whatever reason, it just stayed. I have some, I always like when I think about that kind of memory, I always think like, where am I? Because I guarantee if like random kids that I remember vividly in different situations from my childhood are imprinted on me, like I have to be also living in some kids world of memories for being retarded in my own way.

But I remember like one of the most vivid, the most vivid memory I have of like young kids sports by far playing like soccer, maybe like four or five. It's like a preschool league and my dad played soccer in college. And so he was always like, tried to push us into soccer. He realized we thought soccer sucked. And so he was fine with hockey too. But, uh, it was like, you know, like learning, like meeting four or five, six, however old I was meeting kids from other schools, because they obviously didn't have a school program yet. And so it was like everybody coming together in the same common ground, uh ground park. And my dad, I remember him being like,

Taylor, come over here. I want you to meet someone. And then he's talking to his other adult. And that other adult was like, Hey, Dalton, Dalton, come over here. I want you to meet someone. They're trying to like make us friends. And like this kid I can close my eyes and picture it so vividly. Like this kid came jogging over this five year old kid just like me. And was like smiling just beaming and had the the most absurd booger situation in my life. Like a booger like not just a booger hanging out of his nose, but like it was like the bottom of an avalanche where like there were already established boogers on the upper lip

and it was like connected to a long amount of boogers. And I remember like, I didn't have the verbiage internally to, to like assign this with any malice, but I remember having the equivalent thought of like, this kid's a fucking loser. Like what a fucking loser. I'm not gonna be friends with Dalton. I remember there was a kid on our baseball team and my mom would talk about him behind his back.

And what she would say, she would make fun of his parents actually. She would talk about how he had bad parents because he didn't know how to eat yet. And we were like 10. She's like, Didn't know how to eat yet. And we were like, 10. She's like, did not eat. It'd be all over his face. Like every time we ate, it would get all over his face. She's like, he eats like a toddler. She's like, no, not even a toddler. Uh, he eats like a baby,

like a baby that he mushes it into his face. She's explaining this to my dad. She's like, and I'm the chaperone. And so it makes me look she was mad because it makes her look bad because they show up. And this one kid is all sticky. Like, I remember we went on the camping trip to celebrate like the baseball championship or whatever. And we're all around the camp, partying, s'mores.

And I mean, even as adults as an adult, a s'more is a pretty careful. It's pretty messy, so you gotta believe you'll be careful. You're doing that bite like a like you're a foodie on the fleet. Yeah, reaching your teeth out from your draw somehow.

He's out and and I looked over and that kid had marshmallows on his nose. Like like it would go as high as his nose and as low as like under his chin and out on the cheeks and then his hands would be covered in it and he didn't have the wherewithal to not then get dirt on his like marshmallow hands so he'd be all dirty and marshmallow and chocolatey and and an adult would have to clean him up in front of us. And I can remember him putting his face forward to be cleaned by an adult. And we just did. He put his face.

He put his face. That's like Kingly. Yeah. It's very legal. I remember thinking like, this is how I got my ass wiped when I was three. Like, what is this? Like you stick your butt in, like, come on.

Where you like finally like take a big boy poops by yourself and you're like, mom, I'm finished. Oh yeah. Come wipe my ass for me. We haven't gotten to that part of the process yet. Something else like young kids eating, I remember, is it must have been a pet peeve of my dad's because I remember like, you know how when you let a kid like drink a, like a bottle of Coke or Sprite or whatever for the first time as a kid, they don't know you're not supposed to like wrap

your lips around the entire opening. You're supposed to like leave the top part open because that's how the airflow gets in. And that's how you actually drink the bottle. And I remember my dad like shut that down on me really, really quick. He's like, that's not how you drink from a soda bottle. Like you drink from a soda bottle like this. I was like, OK, gotcha. And so then I would like go to birthday parties or whatever.

And I would see kids like this is like years later, kids whose parents still didn't give enough of a shit to tell them how to drink soda. And so it'd be like you're playing in the Chuck E. Cheese ball pit or whatever. And then the kids come out and like, you know, that like huffing and puffing like kid cardio like, and then like I'd see him like grab a Fanta and wrap both lips around it and like squeeze the bottle into their mouth.

And then of course they're taking like the biggest drinks of all time. And so I can remember like being at a birthday party, drinking my soda and and then being surrounded by a bunch of huffing and puffing classmates. And they do that thing where they take the biggest drink they possibly can, and then they take it down from their lips and immediately dribbles, and they're like, out of breath from drinking incorrectly.

And that made me feel like, oh, it me think, you guys need to get together. They don't care. And I care more about their kids than they do. I'm like, oh man, that's going to be a loser. Look at him suck that bottle like a tea. What are you doing? Like, yeah, we do nine now. No excuse for this.

This is an indoor soccer birthday party. We're not little kids anymore. My mom got special ed, so she would get, she would see those kids like that were that I remember the kids that had environmental retardation and learning what that was. And it's like, Oh, that's just when you never teach a kid anything. So he doesn't know anything and he never does afterwards. It's like, you basically have a feral wolf child, but he grew up in a single wide trailer. By the way, same people who would call the cops on me for

the explosions. They were the ones with the retarded son. Yeah. Yeah and not even retarded, just negligent. Well they retarded him. They retarded him up. Yeah. Yeah, they retarded that little fella. Yeah that, that I can't imagine being such a bad parent that you like see your own flesh and blood doing something ridiculous and you don't even have the wherewithal to be like, Hey, quick aside, do it this way. Just never had that. Well, there's you got to, it's that, that's got to begin somewhere. That it's not even in them to correct that behavior because they don't see that behaviors

Yeah, anyway, you're like mom confronts their parents over dinner and like their parents are both the covered Where's the mater D sticking your face out to be cleaned? It reminds me of when Tony Montana, they serve him that little finger bowl with the lemon slice in it to wash your hands. And he's over there talking shop eating the lemon. Yeah.

I'm trying to remember other retarded shit that you saw little kids do. I mean, like there was at least, I think you probably didn't go to Chuck E cheese as much for birthdays because it probably wasn't as close. No, never, never. Um, there was only one Chuck E cheese that I knew in existence and I hadn't, I've never been there. I've never been to one to this day. I've, I've been to a Dave and Buster's once or maybe twice in my life though. So I think I know you get the gist. What have been? Yeah. Dave and Buster's is still fun.

From time to time you get a big group going there. Everybody gets drinking and starts getting competitive on video games. But Chuck E. Cheese was like, I remember like getting that feeling of excitement that you can't even emulate in adulthood without some sort of exogenous substance where my mom would tell me, hey, Tim is having his birthday on Saturday and it's at Chuck E. Cheese. And I'd be like, ugh, ugh, ugh, like what? Pizza and games and the ball pit and the tubes, the tunnels you get to

crawl through that lead into the ball pit. And like, you know, I can realize how bad kids can stink like B.O. until you are in those tunnels above the ball pit. And it just smells like, like feet and B.O. and disgusting. But you don't even realize how gross it is. You're touching that plastic submarine screen where you remember, you probably don't remember, you could go up there and then you could look out and you could be banging on the glass and be like, grandma, grandma, look at me, I'm up here, grandma.

Well, yeah, that was it, I'm up here, grandma. They had those at Burger King and stuff, but I remember me and Woody went to a place like that like a decade ago that was by his house in Apex, North Carolina. We went, I stayed with him for like two days, I think. And one of the days he was like, let's go to the Fun Ranch or whatever this place was called. And I was

like, sure, let's go to the fun ranch. They have go karts and laser tag and putt putt. And then they had they had this thing that was like these stretchy elastic bands that ran a spider web pattern. And then layer after layer of them in a really tall cylinder. And you go up a spiral staircase or whatever to the top like it's a water slide and then kids because they're so light when they jump on to that thing they sort of get like spilled through each layer really slowly and gracefully and I can still picture that fat black kid. Every other kid was going through a layer and like and through the next layer and

this little fucker went it looked like a twin towers collapsing. At freefall speed this little black boy fell through all the layers of protective Velcro. Free fall speed. You can't explain that. Yeah, that was, I remember that we had a place like that, exactly like that called Swing Around Fun Town. And it was even a fun name.

Like I had different kinds of fun growing up. I almost never got taken to cool places like that, but we would do fun stuff that the other kids couldn't relate to anyway. So I'd go to school and be like, ah, we did this thing this weekend, or I shot a rifle and we shot this deer, it was 500 yards away and it was still alive

when we got there, so we had to fight it. to fight it and be like you're a liar. Fuck no believe no one believes the things that we do You're a liar Being called a liar at 7 being like oh, I'm not handled this You know, there's no camera phones. I got no snaps to this this crazy shit We did over the weekend and I remember when we went to Six Flags one time, I didn't get to go a lot. So it's like two and a half hours away. And my parents always hate to be Atlanta traffic. Still do. And and I remember forgetting to breathe on the drive there.

Like, like I would I would realize that I hadn't breathed and I'll be because I was so excited to get to six flags and and I had already like picked out I was like we're gonna go to this ride and then that ride and then this ride and then that ride and we got there and My cousin was like afraid he immediately turns into a bitch Wow, I have to see I had to ride every ride by myself all day long. Wow. It was the most depressing thing. But your parents wouldn't even go on it with you? No. No.

Oh, that sucks. Dad had had back surgery like a year before and mom doesn't let roller coasters. Man, that makes me sad for you. Oh, it was sad. Oh, it was extra sad. You're like, I finally get a little bit of similar aged companionship with my cousin or my friend to go to the fucking roller coaster place and then he pusses out and your dad's like, sorry, I'm already too old to get fucked up riding the Ninja. Yep.

And your mom's also just not playing ball. I would hate that. It's funny you say that. The Ninja is the one that will fuck you up. That's what it is at Six Flags St. Louis too. Not because it's the most intense or the fastest, it's just far and away the least comfortable. It just smacks your head off.

It jiggles your neck like an irate Indian man who's- Yes. You dislike the Ninja, it is one of my favorite rides. He's like, fuck, what are those called? He's like a gyroscope where his head like counteracts all of the what are you saying to me? It is perfectly straight. That I like that in Indian street food videos I see where it's some guy like rubbing fucking toenail gunk into a, you know, non bread.

And then like trying to entice you with this head jiggle. And it's like, this is awful. I can get down with some of that street food. I see American street food is not as bad. We have, we have some standards. I disagree. I disagree. Our street food feels very corporate. Um, I, I think that, that, that you take away the soul of the street food to some extent when you, when you make those people get all those permits and there's health departments and such You know like food trucks are a different thing entirely, but I'm thinking of like a hot dog guy with a trolley though When I see like India and Asia and they've got those like just some dude out there frying up onion rings And it's like there's no way that could go bad. Like we don't need the health department

to get between him and me and that onion ring there. You know what I mean? Like, like it was to say where you got that oil, you know? It's hot. He got it from some, some electrical transformer. Two. Have you seen them taking the oil from the sewers in China? I have heard that. I've heard that they like are using sewer oil,

which is fucking absurd. So there's sewer and I'm sure it varies from place to place just like here, but, but the sewers that I've seen in Chinese cities, it's like right on the edge of the roadway, there's a gutter and there's like a little cap that you can just lift up. And the gutter water isn't way down there like where you couldn't get to it. It's like right here. And I guess the restaurants were dumping out the oil. And so it was there in the gutter sewer and they were skimming it with like

a ladle like, or like a, they were like skimming off the scum and the water and just getting the oil and she getting the oil. And she's collecting it into this pan while someone records her. And you know, she's cooking with that oil. And as disgusting as that is, I did think, man, I mean, it is boiling oil. If there was anything that's self-cleaning,

it's gotta be cooking oil. Yeah, they're getting it hot. I'm just worried about the flavors that might be carrying on from, carried over from the soup. Yeah, because it's in a fucking sewer. Yeah, they're getting worried about the flavors that might be carrying on from carried over from the fucking sewer. Yeah, I think we you know, you need some regulations. You can't be letting people feed you sewer oil fries or something, because that's a big step back. And you know, the Indian street food is bad. Or like that whole section of the world like India, Bangladesh, all that street food. Because if like, if like Congolese

TikTokers are going in on you for how gross your food is, it's like, okay, let's be, let's be real here. Like they, like everyone on earth who sees that, that process is like, this is gross. Why is your hand all the way in the soup? All the way in the soup with your dirty thing. And it's like some guy who's like, yes, it is my life mission to never wipe my ass. I would like from God. I think I would be more adventurous when it comes to that stuff, because I would like to try one of those. Do they call them perpetual stews?

I think they do. Yes. The idea is that that pot has been under that heating source for years with that soup in it. And they keep adding more stuff in and taking soup out and eating it. Yeah. But the first two things I said remain the same. So a little bit of that soup has been in there forever.

Yeah, it's a little bit, it's like a theses soup where, you know, over time, all everything is replaced, but you know, there's little bits in there forever. Yeah, it's a little bit like a theses soup where, you know, over time all everything is replaced. But you know, there's little bits in there. Yeah. Or like a sourdough culture. Like a sourdough culture. That's a hobby. I don't need to be investigating. Dude, I don't need to start making fucking bread. I went down that road. I got a breadmaker and my brother does it. I'm not going to. I I can't start you know, I'm sure you know, but you can order this San Francisco sourdough culture and it's a little packet of the yeast that's taken from

Some sourdough that they've been culturing since like the gold rush That's like the 1800 like there's some hundred and fifty two hundred year old sourdough culture And they just keep pinching off of it and adding back to it. It's this perpetual ball of bacteria that we use to make our bread taste better. Yeah, and it's true. There is like sourdough is the king of breads. Like by far, ever since I was a little kid, that's what I wanted at Bread Co. You know, give me my chicken noodle soup or my little sandwich, and then like triple bread.

I'd ask my mom, I'd be like, I want five pieces of bread. And she'd be like, Taylor, that's crazy. I'll get you a loaf. And I think that was, that was my first experience in life at like eight years old, rustic Italian shepherd. Like a liter of wine and two loaves of bread. Italian shepherd. A liter of wine and two loaves of bread. I had like so much sourdough that I would be like,

sopping up like the last little bits of my soup with it. And I'd still have more bread. You know, you see that stat every now and then it'll be like how much whiskey men were drinking in the American West per month. And it's, yeah, it's a ton. It's like a, it's a bottle and a half a day or something like that is what it averages out to because whiskey was the cheapest beverage and it wasn't even close. Like it was cheaper than milk and water and beer.

It was somehow it was the cheapest beverage and they were, you know, drunk men living on an awful life. I saw a similar statistic about Italians and it must've been like a couple hundred ago, but the amount of bread and wine that they ate on the daily basis was crazy. Oh, it was Romans. It was Roman citizens. They ate like two loaves of bread a day or something crazy. So when they talk about the breads and circuses, I think that's a little bit of what they're talking about, because bread was such a huge portion of people's daily calorie allotment. I know they would eat it for breakfast. They would just tear it into chunks and add water or milk. I watched your Townsend's guy do a whole thing

the other day about breakfast cereals through the ages. It was riveting. Oh, I love Townsend. I haven't popped back to his channel. He's one of those guys. I've been on an Outdoor Boys kick, but about like once every six, eight months I pop back. I see what Townsend has been up to and I absolutely love it. Do the Outdoor Boys make like, do they make like swimming pools out of mud with their bare hands? No, no Outdoor Boys. Those are like those scammy Indonesians that everybody's like, these guys are cheap. Like you can see, I saw, I know they're exposed. Yeah. Well they're like, Hey, there's

like a excavator tracks in the background here. Like this guy would did not do this with like a, a piece of pottery. Uh, outdoor boys is the guy who's like Mormon and he's in Alaska. And so all his videos are like, all right, we're going out in the wilderness. And I'm going to show you how to build a shelter with nothing but a shovel and some fire starter. And then he builds like he's the guy who like digs down 10 feet in the snow and will like create a hollowed out almost a glue under the snow. Yeah. And then live under there and gets it so hot that like in the middle of the nights, I happen to take his blanket off because it's just, it's one of those weird things where it's like,

oh, you wouldn't expect snow to be an incredible insulator, but I guess it is. I guess it does make sense. It's just loosely packed water up there. So it would be hard to get heat all the way through that. Yeah, you can heat it equally with a candle. That's how those Eskimos, those ice savages as I call them, they're living.

The ice Indians. Ice Indians. That is kind of what they are. I suppose, I suppose. They look very, very Asian, which is because they came over from Asia when there was still ice there to walk across. Or they were just braving those boats where you were, you've told me that like huge swaths of them were killed by those bears who would just, yeah, another fucking snack of these bipedal apes,

flip the boat, eat a few of them, swim away, wait for the next boat. Yeah, the Bering land bridge in that area of the northwestern Pacific that it that it eventually runs into was apparently rife with the short faced bears, which are just these colossal man eating bears 10 or 15, 10 or 20,000 years ago. But yeah, they look Asian because they are. They came over from that Eurasian area and the further you travel south from there,

the more delineated their lineage is with whatever the Southern peoples were. They start looking like those Oongabungas down in South America. They're like transitions into a different kind of Indian. For sure. Like you can see like a huge just if you think of like the Plains Indians with those flat faces and then it looks very Asian.

Yeah. Yeah. You've still got like definitely some Asian characteristics, but they're, you know, Plains Asians. And then as you go further and further south, they seem to get shorter and rounder faced maybe. And then you've obviously got all the genetic influence from the Spanish just coming in

there and doing their thing. Yeah. And you could, you go far enough south in South America and it becomes like more white looking again. Yeah. You get down towards like Southern Brazil and Argentina and Chile and it's like, Oh, okay. So like now we're through the Indian part. And it's more to like mixes of Indian and white people or just like white people,

basically. Or that's what it looks like. Yeah, I think that's probably some. What do they speak in Argentina? What language do they speak? They speak Portuguese down there. Maybe they do. I thought Brazil spoke Portuguese and they were kind of the odd ones out there. So I would have guessed Argentina speak Spanish But language does are no fucking clue Spanish. Yeah, there we go. Yeah. Yeah, I think that yeah the Portuguese

That's just Brazil. I think Which is how different can those languages be? I can't be that fucking different. I mean, I think they can understand. It's funny you mentioned this. I know someone who's dating a Portuguese speaking woman and he speaks no Portuguese and she speaks almost no English. How does that work? Phone translator back and forth.

Oh, that sucks. Not a long distance relationship, mind you. Like they're like chilling, like hanging out together and like typing shit into the phone and showing it back and forth. Oh, shit. It's her night to pick the movie, which means I'm going to have no clue what's going on here. Yeah, that's got to be rough. Or maybe it's better. I don't know. there's been times when I wish my my significant other didn't speak any fucking English. I

Think we've all been there Like you know a little bit of silence might be kind of just with the doctor ordered. Yeah. Yeah, you know, maybe But what you don't want is a bunch of Portuguese babble in the other room like like clearly angry like mean Portuguese to her mother in Brazil on your phone plan, please. Scott, who we've had on the show many times, his wife is Brazilian and she speaks Portuguese like to her family. And so all the time we'll be playing Age of Empires online and there'll be a big group of us in Discord playing. And then I'll just hear like a Brazilian soap opera in the background.

And I'll have to be like, Scott, is there like, is your microphone right up to a television playing a Brazilian soap opera? And he's like, oh, my bad, dude. No, I've learned to kind of tune it out. God, she watches it so,, oh my bad, dude. No, I've learned to kind of tune it out. God, she watches it so, so loud. That would be infuriating. I can't be in the same room with a television program that I

don't like. I don't know if that, like, can you be in the room if someone's watching something that you, like The Bachelor. Like if The Bachelor was on, could you be in that room just on your phone reading a book or doing your own shit? I could yeah I if I had something to occupy myself if I had a book or like my phone I could but I think I Get the gist of what you're saying because I would break my head And part of it and this seems I know this is stupid but part of it it would be like if I was hanging out by the pool and they weren't swimming in the pool but they were occupying it like they were

just doing something weird in there that I don't think the pool should be used for because that's what I that's how I feel about the bachelor being on my television yeah that's not what this is belong there that's not it's not meant for this don't you know notice that I spent 45 minutes the other day carefully adjusting the tent so that the shining would really pop? And now it's playing these, whatever, Grey's Anatomy. My girlfriend's been watching every season of Grey's Anatomy in order from season one. Never seen even a second of that show. I think every time I come down, that that lady is a year older and clearly hating her job. I guess they kept extending that that lady's contract.

I think there's 16 seasons. Oh, I think is that the one where it's like the Asian lady is the main character? No, it's the blonde lady with the sad face. But Michelle Yeoh or whatever is also a character, the very flat faced Asian woman. OK, yeah, I don't know anything about it. Sounds like a show I wouldn't like. So I'm sorry you're having to deal with that. Yeah. One thing I notice about really flat faced Asian people is

the camera operators very careful not to accentuate that. Like, he knows they do the same thing for Steve Carell because he has a beak like a toucan. Really?
