Starting point is 00:00:00 PKN 554. How you guys doing? Not too bad. Not too bad. Doing solid. Almost slipped up and bought a whole bunch of candy at the grocery store. Easter candy? No, it would have been a... No, just candy for me. Me to buy. I was walking past the aisle and I was going to buy a big bag of peanut M&Ms. Didn't get it. Got fucking Greek yogurt and blackberries instead, which isn't even a replacement, but it's vanilla Greek yogurt.
Starting point is 00:00:28 So it kind of, I don't know, let me lie to myself here and say that I guess- What do you think about is peanut M&Ms? If you're gonna break diet, would you choose, peanut M&Ms are simultaneously really good and not good enough. Oh, I love peanut M&Ms. They're amazing.
Starting point is 00:00:44 They're one of my favorite things in the world, I love peanut. They're amazing. They're one of my favorite things in the world. I love peanut M&Ms. The other M&M types don't interest me in the slightest. If there were a bowl of them on this desk, they wouldn't be touched. Regular M&Ms, they could sit there. I wouldn't eat one. But peanut M&Ms, that's a problem. Have you had almond M&Ms? They're so art in there. They used up only the hardest almonds. This fall. I like almonds.
Starting point is 00:01:13 They're bigger. They're better. Peanut is the lowest tier nut. Not even a nut. No, it's a legume. I'll have you know. Yeah, it's it's a it aspires to be a nut, but it didn't make it.
Starting point is 00:01:25 Almonds on the other hand, S tier. I like almonds and I like peanuts but the peanuts go better with the chocolate. Like I feel like that's a better combo. Oh yeah. Yeah. Peanut butter and chocolate is just it just works. Oh I had to look it up because I was mad I didn't know. I've got it pulled up now. Do you know who actually invented peanut butter? We always make fun of George Washington Carver, but we never go that next step to the white guy who invented peanut butter and give him his props We've never actually given the peanut butter Yeah
Starting point is 00:01:57 Canadian a great Canadian inventor by the name of Marcellus Gilmore Edson came up with a peanut paste and I was like that doesn't sound like peanut butter so I read up on like what peanut paste is and it's close enough close enough they even had like a process for turning it into peanut butter candy so not unsurprisingly you add seven parts sugar to one part peanut paste brilliant well someone didn't think of it no one had thought of it before him, or at least he hadn't had it. Yeah. Well, good for him. And it's a damn shame that he doesn't even have a picture.
Starting point is 00:02:33 No, that is Wikipedia page. No statues, no statues of this guy in Georgia. That seems criminal. Well, he inspired so much of what the peanut is used for. And you guys are the peanut boys down there Do a lot of peanuts down here. I don't know if we make the most peanuts, but we do a lot of peanuts I I know the boiled peanuts are big in the south and in the north They don't know what they are
Starting point is 00:02:56 but they take the whole peanut in the shell and they boil it in a giant cauldron and then often they add like Cajun spices but the whole thing gets soft like really soft and kind of gross. It's I don't like Can you eat this shell or do you remove the shell? Yeah, you open the shell It opens really easily and then they but the insides are like cooked smushed peas almost consistency Very soft and boiled. It's like a bean more than a peanut. It's I bought some at the store within the past couple of years and was like, oh boiled peanuts. This is a southern thing. I have never tried these and I opened the can and like looked inside and was like, this isn't what I imagined in here. Like I thought there was going to be some sort of maybe a post-ro a post-boil roast process. No, they're in there in water.
Starting point is 00:03:48 They're disgusting. Like that must have been the way poor people eat peanuts. I don't know what brought about the boiling of peanuts. Maybe it was to like bring them into another part of their diet and replace something they didn't have with the cheap old peanut. But man, down here they're considered like, oh, look, a roadside boiled peanut stand. That's that's old timey. Let's get some of those like they sell out.
Starting point is 00:04:12 You get them by the scoop at gas stations like there's like a there's a tepid not tip. It's it's like 120 degree like water thing over there simmering full of them. And you go over and get a huge scoop and put them in a Plastic a styrofoam cup and they suck They suck worst form of peanuts have ever had you guys need to excise that from from Georgia culture. They're not from me I like could you ruin a peanut that badly? Do you ever put peanuts in coca-cola? Yes, I saw my grandpa do that and I thought it was fun. And so I did that as a kid too. It was in a glass bottle also. We were in his tractor on the farm.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Yeah, it's Americano infused peanuts afterwards. Or does it do something? So what you do, what you do is you take your glass bottle of Coca-Cola, you take a handful of peanuts, salted roasted peanuts out of the bag, you dump them in there, give a little jiggle and then you drink it and occasionally you get a peanut. It's kind of like Orbeez or something or like, it's redneck boba tea. I like boba tea or is it bubble tea? Whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:05:19 What do you get in a Vietnam restaurant? What are they? I think- The shits. Yeah, the shits. The Vietnamese restaurant. It's like sugary tea with tapioca balls in it. Yes. Yeah. Tapioca is just pudding right? Or is that just a kind of pudding? I think I said boba but it might be. Is boba tea a different thing than bubble tea? In any case what I meant was that bubble tea is a brand of boba tea. Ah, well, when you're wrong, you're right.
Starting point is 00:05:46 That was enough. But yeah, the sugar with the peanuts is good. I liked that. A little bit of salt with your sweet is nice. I wouldn't do it with a diet soda. It would have to be a real full sugar soda for it to make sense. Cause then you get that sweet and that salty
Starting point is 00:06:02 and the crunch. Yeah, that's a Southern thing. That's interesting that it extends to Missouri. What do y'all call fireflies again? Call them lightning bugs or lightning bugs? Yeah. Yeah, that's our lightning bugs. I think we're the only two tiny areas of the country because it looks like when you pull
Starting point is 00:06:19 up those like entomology maps of who says the different things, it's like it's like we're being conquered in that beginning of Lord of the Rings, Mordor map of super imposition and it shows the orcs. Like everyone says Fireflies. I think Lightning Bugs is more fun. I don't remember what I said as a kid. Like I've lost track of like what my father tongue was. But oh, another thing I saw about Ocean City, New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:06:44 You know Five Guys has those famous Cajun fries there So I learned that the the owners of five guys when they were starting out they went around they wanted to do What they did the best so they found the best french fry restaurant they could and it's an Ocean City, New Jersey on the beach I guess they make these big cups of french fries No ketchup salt and vinegar only and I can't remember what they're called. They're like Freddy's fries. And like that's all they do. And and so they went there and they got that guy to teach them how to make french fries,
Starting point is 00:07:12 like where to source the potatoes from, how to how to wash and cut and how to double fry and all that stuff. Is there any easier food to like know where to source from the potatoes? Like it's just Idaho, Idaho. Well, they have the best potatoes for some reason. I think there are cheaper potatoes in other places. My guess is that's the deal. Like you could get some Bolivian potatoes for like pennies on the dollar. But those Idaho potatoes just just they just hit this hit right. They hit
Starting point is 00:07:37 different. Yeah. I wonder if there would be like a global rivalry. Idaho, Ireland. Who has I don't know. Oh, it's definitely Idaho. Like it's not that the I Ireland was known like a global rivalry, Idaho, Ireland, who has the better potatoes. Oh, it's definitely Idaho. Like it's not that the Ireland was known for their delicious potatoes. And it's only half of those. I didn't think about that. I'm starting to think about that.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Colin McGregor retired. Oh, not again. Well, they're acting like it's real this time. I don't know. It seems like there's a bunch of fights waiting for him and he's talking about running for president and a lot of people are like, that's it. Just you're done. He's thirty seven. I didn't realize he became thirty seven when I
Starting point is 00:08:12 wasn't looking and uh he's fought what like I bet if you go two fights, it's five years, something like that. Like it's it's been a long time and uh um Kale Sonnen puts it this way. He's like, there is nothing but ass whoopings waiting for Conor McGregor in the UFC. There isn't a guy on the roster who doesn't wipe the floor with Conor McGregor at this point.
Starting point is 00:08:38 And I'm like, you know, probably, Conor McGregor hasn't won a fight since the ghost of Cowboy Cerrone, who's retired. He's been retired for a long time, and he should have retired before he fought Conor. That guy's washed. The last time Conor beat someone good was 10 years ago, maybe? There might not be a fighter on the roster who doesn't kick Conor McGregor's ass. And by the way, Conor McGregor's not coming back
Starting point is 00:09:07 for an easy fight, he's Conor McGregor. He's gonna be a five round main event. 25 minutes of getting your face pushed in is all Conor has in the UFC waiting for him. Like I think he's done, I think he's cooked. This is- Wouldn't he pop for HGH or whatever he's on right now. He's being tested right now. He's one of the most tested athletes in the world right now. I thought
Starting point is 00:09:31 still. Yeah. He's in the, you saw, I thought he re-entered their like testing program this year or last year. And like whenever they give updates, like here are the most tested athletes in the UFC this year. John Jones, 17 tests, Connor McGregor, 14, and it'll like Michael Chandler, eight tests and it'll like go down the line of like who's been tested because it's random, but I haven't seen one of those since USADA. They're still showing it. It's a year more current than me. I'm almost positive.
Starting point is 00:10:00 I've read it this year, like on like either UFC subreddit or MMA subreddit, one of those places. Uh, but, but I agree with everything you said. I've been, we've been agree like either UFC subredditor MMA subreddit one of those places But but I agree with everything you said I've been we've been agree an agreement on that for a long time. He has not You know, he's not been doing fighter things forever. He's just been doing look at me things and talking on the internet. So good I wish you'd stop. I've been bored of the show for a long time if he's not gonna fight I'm I'm hyped for Michael Chandler, Patty Pimlet. That's what's happened in April 12th. Like that's a cool fucking fight.
Starting point is 00:10:27 That's gonna be a slobber knocker. Those guys are gonna go at it. But I don't care about a Conor. I found the list of tested fighters. Conor's not on it though. This is for 2025. It's alphabetical by first name. And I found Conor Matthews, so he must be nearby.
Starting point is 00:10:44 Alphabetical by first name. What a UFC way to organize a list. I put a slash on it by accident. Oh, Zach found the same page. Yeah. He's talking about running for president and getting into politics. Like it's over. Like he's not, there's no way he goes back to throwing hands in the ring.
Starting point is 00:11:00 He's all HG. He's got Joe Rogan head now. Like there's like that part of his life is over. It's just probably it probably makes good business sense to like tug that string from time to time. Be like, Oh, who knows? Maybe I'll hope back in the ring. And that just drives.
Starting point is 00:11:14 And then suddenly all the UFC world has to write an article about it keeps you top of mind. And then nothing at this point, it feels like his real job is social media influencer. So he needs to talk about going into title fights, needs to talk about running for president. His job is to stay on the news. He's a Kardashian. Yeah, he's doing, I guess he doesn't even run his liquor company anymore.
Starting point is 00:11:40 Made a boatload selling that and now he runs that beer company. But I think I looked that up and it's like, it's like the same way some guy in a local tavern would have a beer where he's like, oh, this is Kyle's own lager. It's like, oh, where can I buy some of Kyle's own lager? Well, at the two bars that Kyle owns in Atlanta. And it's like, oh, okay, what about greater distribution?
Starting point is 00:12:02 Nope. It's like, all right, well, then this isn't really on the same brand as like Kyle's tequila where that's in every store that he sold to in-bev or push. I see a lot of like A-list celebrities with brands like that. I know like John Krasin, um, um, the two guys from Breaking Bad, both of them have that tequila company together. There's a bunch of things like that. I think there's, there's something to the celebrity alcohol brands. I don't know if it's a situation where they're washing money like a mattress company somehow
Starting point is 00:12:31 or if it's really just that profitable to have a celebrity endorsed alcohol brand. There's Breaking Bad vodka. Is it Breaking Bad? No, no, it's it's called something else. It's it's it's not. I don't think it's Breaking Bad related at all as far as the name or branding. But I'm pretty sure Aaron Paul and... Brian? Is it Brian Krasnien? Yeah, I wanna call him Krasinski for some reason.
Starting point is 00:12:55 And that's Jim Helper. I wanted to call him Brian White. Yeah, that's gonna alter my... Brian White. Yeah, that's what I don't know about. Well, on their website, there's a picture of both of them dressed like, you know, models from the 70s drinking tequila next to a burro
Starting point is 00:13:11 with the Breaking Bad Mexico filter superimposed over it. So maybe leaning into that. Well, I mean, the yellow filter is like a joke at this point. When I watch, I watch channel five, like Andrew Calhan doing his news on YouTube, and whenever they go to Mexico to do stuff, boom, there it is. We're in yellow now and you know we're in Mexico. I don't know if you guys have been to Mexico, but the whole place is sepia-toned.
Starting point is 00:13:35 That's just real life there. That's true. You go there and you're like, I thought Cancun would be different. No, just yellow. I've seen that meme where it's like, how do you know the movies in Mexico? Everything's sepia tone. How do you know the movies in Eastern Europe? Everything's a hazy blue gray. Like it's always that with a big sad apartment block. Yeah, that's very near. Yeah, yeah. That was my parents experience. They went to Russia a few times and they're like, everybody's grumpy, bad
Starting point is 00:14:06 mood, the place is depressing. Just walking through water-filled potholes towards block apartments is not a happy life. That was their observation. It kind of makes me think, what is the proverb when like 11 guys touch an elephant? One gets the tail, he thinks it's like a rope. The other touches a toenail. He thinks it's like a rock someone else touches the trunk Um, you can't just parachute into one spot in russia and get a vibe for it, but you get some So there's a I looked it up. Um, I think this is the city i'm thinking of I didn't do a ton of research I I watched this thing on YouTube about this Russian industrial city because what they do is they would build cities in Siberia and like
Starting point is 00:14:50 way north of the population centers that were just there because of there was a source of coal or iron or manganese or whatever. It's like oh and they would create a city of like 30-40 000 people just for the mine but they would become these just impoverished mining communities with no Like regulation they're just it looks like Post-apocalyptic future, but they did it 40 years ago in their north. It's ridiculous the amount of pollution I saw the cancer rates are crazy there. Like it's it's it's a hellscape that they just created I Was thinking about I'm sorry go on crazy there. Like it's it's it's a hellscape that they just created. I was thinking about. Oh, I'm sorry. Go on.
Starting point is 00:15:27 I was going to say, if you look at how far north it is, this the city is called Norilsk. I don't I wish I had the whole globe up so I could see. But that's like all the way north. Like they're close to the North Pole. Yeah. Yeah. It looks like it's growing. But there's more like they gained 2000 people in births this year.
Starting point is 00:15:51 So you know, it's quite the how many did they lose in deaths? 1024 died 2381 were born. That's 2018. So who you know, maybe they're not up on it. That's better than we're doing. You know, we're we're losing population and look at flag The bear holding the key America's losing population. Yeah, don't we have like I Thought we needed like to
Starting point is 00:16:16 We needed like two point two births per death. Don't we something like that for the replacement, right? There's some there's some like number. Yeah, like two point2 or 2.3 is I've heard that before because it's like, and I think we're like 1.2 or like 1.4 or something like that. Hmm. Yeah. I'm not sure. I thought for some reason that that was like our target growth rate, not replacing the replacement rate and that we were hitting it, but only because of immigration, which could likely be different starting to that yeah um but i'm not sure enough to tell you you're wrong yeah yeah it could be
Starting point is 00:16:52 for sure um i know it's not high enough i know the birth rate's not high enough for sure anywhere i guess i don't know where is the birth rate high enough? Like where are they making too many people? Africa, India. You asked where the birth rate's the highest, Africa, India. That's where they're, Bangladesh, Pakistan. Canada's growing. Niger. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:20 They're really growing. That's like, some people in the investment community think that Niger, what else would you call it? We're not allowed to say it. I know what I call it. I guess you call it Niger, right? What do we usually, what do we used to call it? Niger?
Starting point is 00:17:37 Yeah, I think it is. Everyone's always said Niger. In any case, some people think that is like the next growing market. Buy into something that benefits from their economy, like a bank play or something, because they're gonna explode into an economy that wasn't there before.
Starting point is 00:17:54 People say, I don't know, I've watched a bunch of these turn into something like India, which I actually invested in, I did good, I feel like I did a smart thing. And then I've watched a bunch of these like flop. So many things in South America were supposed to be the next big economy and they weren't. So it's a risk.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Yeah. Yeah, I would just bet on the United States every time. I saw like, I read something about the world's gold supply and like where people keep their gold. I guess I always assume that every country had their own equivalent to Fort Knox. Or if not a Fort Knox, if they don't need a whole Fort worth of gold,
Starting point is 00:18:30 then they got some bank somewhere in their city that's like the national bank. But a lot of companies, countries keep their gold here. Like Fort Knox has more than American gold. We've got everybody's gold. We've got large amounts of everybody's gold because they figured it was safe to keep it here. They were wrong. That rocks.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Gold Do we have like the vault segmented where it's like a little shelf? We mix it all together. Big pile. I think there's a big gold supply at the New York Stock Exchange. Learn that from lethal. I think there's a big gold supply at the New York Stock Exchange. Learn that from lethal. God damn it. Is it a video game you're talking about?
Starting point is 00:19:10 Learn that from Die Hard with a Vengeance, which is Die Hard 3. Are you sure that it's true? I'm so sure it's true. I would love to place a bet that a large amount of gold is kept at the New York Stock Exchange underneath in the vaults down there. Or if it's not the stock exchange, if it's not called the stock exchange, and there is a thing,
Starting point is 00:19:30 just like in the movie, Die Hard with the Vengeance, where large amounts of global gold supply are kept, or at least 10 percentages and such, maybe not the majority of it, but large amounts, tens of millions of dollars. I believe you, and I won't take that bet because you're confident and you seem sincere, but it vibes a little like I learned
Starting point is 00:19:48 from Declaration of Independence that on the back of that, there's actually a map to whatever God's birthplace or something, I don't know. I learned a lot from Nicolas Cage movies, not about history per se, but about the human being and you know, like what our purpose is here. No, I'm pretty sure that that's true, that they a ton of gold with the new york stock exchange or whatever It is there but fort knox. I know they keep um, like large amounts of everybody's gold there
Starting point is 00:20:12 I think france has a bunch of their gold there. I saw a list they broke it down like how much gold from each country we had Um, not only because you know, it's backed up with the dollar But also I feel like you'd have a hard time getting to the gold in Fort Knox. It seems so difficult, it almost seems like a joke. I wonder if, for all I know, someone stole 17 tons of Fort Knox gold, and we just haven't been looking since forever. If one palette was missing, would you know? I wouldn't know.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Well, they asked that recently. Elon was like, has anyone counted the bars? And some guy from the Treasury is like, yeah, we can't the bars. But then I'm like, did you scratch them all? Right? Did you scratch them all really vigorously? Make sure it's not lead Yeah, it's so valuable. Yeah. Oh, that's what you meant.
Starting point is 00:21:08 I meant taking the shavings like I got a pocket knife in my pocket. That's a lot sharper than not sharper, but harder gold. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I could I wouldn't mind you take a little shaving. You work there, take a shaving every day. We'll be fine. There's a trillion dollars to gold in there or some shit. But I don't want I don't want the whole supply to be replaced
Starting point is 00:21:26 by gold bars. Donald Trump is selling those gold Donald Trump coins. And I saw a YouTube chemist use acid to like dissolve the coin and determine what it's made out of. And sure enough, there's this incredibly thin layer of gold. He's like, oh, and there's the gold. And it's like, bro.
Starting point is 00:21:44 It's like gold. It's like 0., and there's the goal and it's like, bro It's like like gold 0-0 5% gold. Yeah, he gets out this little foil thing of gold that immediately dissolves into like it looks like a Suds from like washing your hands that would be like on the edge of your hand It's like oh, that's the goal. Okay, and then he and then the rest of the coin is iron mostly You could lick off the gold from his gold coins. It is. Well, he used a strong acid. I don't know if he could lick it off, but, but there's not a lot of gold on there. What are the coins for? Are they supposed to be like a collectible?
Starting point is 00:22:17 Of course. It's because obviously it's not like legal tender. It's just another shoe grift. Just. Yes. Well, you've seen those coins, right? Like like where they do come up. It's a commemorative coin that like a celebrity or whatever releases. I see a lot of like I see a lot of them on TV like Fox News always had. Oh, that's a terrible. That can't be it. I bet. I can't. Yeah, I wouldn't have approved that if I was him. I'd be like fucking shape that jaw up and come back to me with another version. I don't like the hair, but it is the hair.
Starting point is 00:22:53 I wonder if Trump sees it and says, no, make it look better than it really does. Or if he sees that hair and is like, nailed it. Yeah, I feel like the hair looks pretty accurate. I mean, the gullet looks accurate too when he's in his fat phases. And I would get that fixed. Oh, there you go.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Now that looks like someone put a prompt into AI. That's how they spit out. This is Trump from... That's not a picture. That's a render. Yeah, I thought the first one was also a render. It didn't look quite real either. Oh, I don't I don't know what the deal is for those grift coins. Taylor, did you think the first coin
Starting point is 00:23:30 was real? You're good at that. Yeah, I thought it was like a picture of his coin, his little commemorative coin. It might be. Or at least a rendering of what it looks like accurately. Yeah, the money is $160. What can you like pick? I guess you turn to solid gold if we go to 160 because I don't think so. Oh, I heard for the first time a $100 bill is worth more than its weight in gold. Oh, how much is $100 bill way one gram one gram that almost seems high. I guess. Okay. It does seem high doesn't it every time it's crazy that they're I'll be like that's a gram the fuck is that a gram if I thought that was nothing do all the bills weigh the same I would guess so unless like maybe the magnet strip they have in
Starting point is 00:24:19 the new ones adds weight yeah they all weigh slightly different but I think I've always read that one gram is the weight of a bill Okay, I googled it and got Kyle's answer. There you go, but they definitely will always slightly different Just like I'm sure you've seen Pokemon car Openings that what they do Woody they'll weigh the unopened packages from years gone by that are obviously increasing in rarity as you go Because there's a chance there's that foil card or that rare card and they'll weigh them. And if they show up a couple grams heavy, they'll even write it on there, heavy 1.02 grams. And they're like, oh,
Starting point is 00:24:54 that's almost a guaranteed foil in there. You don't know what's in there, but you do know that it's a foil card or you do know that it's one of the better cards. I see them doing that. But yeah, so there's definitely a big weight difference between a hundred dollar bill and a one dollar bill. I just don't know what it's one of the better cards. I see them doing that. But yeah, so there's definitely a big weight difference between a hundred dollar bill and a one dollar bill. I just don't know what it would be. Zach, pull that up. When I was a kid, Pokemon late 90s, obviously huge. And they had
Starting point is 00:25:16 these at McDonald's where you could, with your toy, you got this gold plated McDonald's special edition collectible. That's a jigglypuff one. Fucking sucked. Always, always blue to get a jigglypuff one. You wanted like one of the, you wanted a Mewtwo ideally. And I remember like not having, like I was, it was 1999. I was eight years old. And so I was like thinking in my head, like, man, this is important. I can't lose this. head like, man, this is important. I can't lose this. I thought McDonald's was taking a bath on this. And then I had to, had to like really hold onto these.
Starting point is 00:25:50 It didn't enter my head that like gold meant like the absolute, just a wafer that could blow away in the wind, just thinly spread over a piece of probably lead. It's worth 50 bucks. No. Yeah. I mean, that's what the link is. But they're paying 50 bucks because it's like a rare collectible, I guess, at this point, not because they're going to smelt the gold.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Toga, of course. Oh, yeah, of course. You're not a $38. It's 50 Canadian. Oh, that's Canadian. Kyle, you're not a Pokemon guy. And what are you not a Pokemon guy? And Woody, you're not a Pokemon guy. Which of these, but you can tell which ones are the lame ones, right?
Starting point is 00:26:29 The ones you never wanted. Of the ones I'm looking at here? Of the ones you're looking at, the ones you would be stoked to get as a child. The two on the right are lame. I want, is that like a Charmander? In which? The top left, what's the top left thing?
Starting point is 00:26:41 It's like, it looks like it involves- Top left is Charizard. It's got the wings. Okay, I don't know the evolutions. I know that's, uh, mute two or whatever that was in the Pokemon movie bottom center. And that's, uh, Pikachu in the top center. Like I feel like that'd be a fan favorite. So I would want those three. I'd want top left. And then the, the middle row top and bottom.
Starting point is 00:27:01 I have the sad thing. I think that one two and five are probably the good ones. And the two on the right are crap. Hypno Frog, is that what that thing's called? I'm guessing. 100% You guys have- Is that called Hypno Frog? Excellent todays, no it's called Polywrath.
Starting point is 00:27:14 Pfft. And- My name's better. He was like that beetle that no one remembers the name of, or at least I don't. Where like they released this and it's like Charizard, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, I guess for girls, Togepi, the bottom right one also for girls, Mewtwo, obviously, and then that guy on the bottom left
Starting point is 00:27:32 just snuck past the goalie. He was never popular. Nobody liked that guy. Can we name the Beatles? I feel like Kyle probably has that on lockdown. John Lennon. John Lennon, Paul Simon. George. Harris. Is it George Harris? Yeah, yeah, and then John Lennon, Paul Simon. George.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Harris. Is it George Harris? Yeah, yeah, and then the drummer. Paul McCartney. Ringo Starr. What did I say? I said Paul Simon, you're right. Paul McCartney.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Yeah, we got it. And don't forget about Best. The guy who was the original drummer, right? Oh, he's right. Jim Best or something like that. I think it was Pete, right? Pete Best, yeah, yeah. And I only know it because of the Sopranos, but he released that album called Best of the Beatles because his name was Best
Starting point is 00:28:10 and he was of the Beatles. That's pretty funny. And he releases that album, Best of the Beatles. And then there wasn't any. The band was like, what the fuck is wrong with you? This is Clickbait's origin story. Back then it would have been a vinyl album with a little artwork on it you'd have gotten all the way back home and like scratched the record like all right here we go back to the Beatles so there was a beatle named paul simon no i made a mistake it was paul mccartney i meant to say paul mccartney so then ringo star is he the one that like they joke about forgetting? Yeah. Probably the drummer, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Yeah. I read a thing about how good Ringo Starr, now I saw a YouTube video and he made a pretty compelling case for the fact that Ringo Starr was a good drummer. And he's like, they played some song, it was like a slow piece, slow paced Beatle song. Like there's so many of, and he's like, this is what good drumming sounds like.
Starting point is 00:29:06 And he's like, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba, overwhelm the song. And he's like, this is what actual good drumming sounds like, and it was just like, tch tch tch tch tch tch tch. And you're like, oh my gosh, that compliments the song. That is musical. And it made me realize that some of the best in quotes, guitar work and drum work, et cetera,
Starting point is 00:29:29 isn't really musical. It's technically impressive, but most people don't wanna hear it. That makes sense. You're muted, Kyle. I've heard their music is, it's said that their music is very good at each piece, like doing its job and nothing layering over the other
Starting point is 00:29:48 in a way that's, he's like, listen to this, we come in with the vocals, da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da, and up, and here's the guitar. Now here's what it sounds like if we do it at the same time. Ah, that's not better. Like he's like sort of layered the tracks in a certain way. He's like, and here is perfection.
Starting point is 00:30:04 And he just plays Abbey Road. I don I don't know. There's, there's obvious, those guys are obviously before my time, but I love that music. I listen to it all the time. I love that mute, that movie where the guy, um, it goes to the reality where it never happened, but he kind of remembers all the lyrics as well as we do. Like if the three of us even put our heads together, we'd have a hard time like getting a whole Beatles album. Like written down. We could like piece together yellow submarine or something. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:30:30 We all live in a yellow submarine. Yeah. Okay, I guess we will. Outside the chorus things get rough. Yeah, yeah. I'd be like, and the Soviets are down there so we have to be afraid. No, Kyle.
Starting point is 00:30:44 They're calling it the worst band of all time. It's a pretty neat movie that Kyle's talking about. This guy is an, I call him an unsuccessful, unsuccessful bar level musician, but he lives in a world where the Beatles never existed. So suddenly he's like the best singer songwriter history's ever seen. Cause he just solo comes up with hit after hit after hit banger after banger. Ed Sheeran, how do you say his name? Sharon.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Yeah. Sheeran is in the movie and he challenges this guy. Who's like making a name for himself quickly to like a songwriting competition on the spot. It's really made for the movie. And so he just like writes down another Beatles song that they haven't mentioned before. And he's like, I yield my throne. You're the spot. It's really made for the movie. And so he just like writes down another Beatles song that they haven't mentioned before. And he's like, I yield my throne. You're the best. Have you seen that movie? It's in the similar vein,
Starting point is 00:31:37 the Ricky Gervais one from probably 15 years ago, the invention of lying. Where like he lives in a world where like, there's no, even the concept of not being truthful isn't understood. Like there is no lie. And so like, you know, it like opens up and like there's people at a, at a bank, where not example of this, I don't remember the specific scenes, but it would be like someone applying for a loan and being like, I need $200,000 for this business, please. And they're like, okay, what's the business? And he goes, well, I just kind of want to have $200,000.
Starting point is 00:32:10 I don't have a plan yet, but I promise I'll work really hard on what, like he can't lie about it. He's like, I'd like to withdraw $500, please. And she's like, okay, what's the account? Morris, two S's. She's like, oh, okay. I'm sorry, you only have $100 in your account. Oh, that's a mistake. It's like, oh, okay. I'm sorry, you only have a hundred dollars in your account.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Oh, that's a mistake. It's 5,000 in there. Oh, that is a mistake. I'll get that sorted out right away. Like, let me put $5,000 in your account and get you your money, sir. One of the funny moments of it is like, Ricky Gervais realizes he can be the first person to lie.
Starting point is 00:32:41 And so he just goes up to this hot woman on the street and he's like, ma'am, if we don't have sex right now, the world will end. And she like turns around and is like, do we have time to get to a hotel or must we do it here? Like, I just don't understand. It's like he takes her back to a hotel and she's like, what are you talking for?
Starting point is 00:33:00 We have to have sex right now or the world will end. And he's just like blown away that it's working. That's such a funny concept for a movie along those lines in three body problem. This really complicated sci fi story. There's a advanced civilization that has it over humans in every way possible, but their communication isn't out loud. They just do it through mind talking. And therefore there's no lying. I know what you're thinking all the time. We all sort of share a bind, like almost Borg-like.
Starting point is 00:33:31 So the humans figure out their only advantage is deceit and sort of faking and such. And deception, all of it is foreign. But they have total surveillance over everything we say. So we have to like the people that are lying, can't share what they're lying about and that becomes a major complicated plot point. It's a good show. It's a great book.
Starting point is 00:33:57 The show was okay. I, uh, I went through and read all the invincible comics this week. There's a lot of them. Uh, there's a spin-off. Did you hear about it? Um, no lot of them. There's a spin-off. Did you hear about it? No. What's the spin-off? Beastmaster, I think is his name. Oh, that might actually be more powerful than all the Viltrumites. Maybe. He's... So I've read ahead. He's featured heavily throughout the story. Very deep into it. And he's featured heavily throughout the story, very deep into it. And so I don't know about a spinoff or anything, but he's a, I wouldn't say a main character,
Starting point is 00:34:32 but every now and then it's like, we're putting the band together. Who do we need? Well, fucking Beastmaster better be playing guitar. That's all I know. And so like they'll go get the Beastmaster when they need to fuck some shit up. But the rest of the story is pretty hardcore. There's a lot, there's a, this isn't a spoiler, but there's a war You know between all the main characters and it gets very rough
Starting point is 00:34:51 I I noticed a lot of differences between the books and The TV show but none that mattered. We made a lot of characters black that were originally white Where in the TV show. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Mark's girlfriend's white. The first one.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Yeah. Yeah. And his gay friend doesn't seem to be nearly as big of a character in the books. I'm like, I haven't heard from that gay friend in forever, but he's like, we're constantly cutting the gay friend in the show. I feel like, but I dug the comic books a lot. I highly recommend them.
Starting point is 00:35:27 I think it's a good story. And I don't know, for some reason I worry about those characters. I know that a lot of them do have a bit of plot armor and just their very nature. It's like, I heal from many things. It's gonna be hard to worry about you then. But there are definitely some characters that die
Starting point is 00:35:46 along the way. How many did you read in a week? So like you read the entire collection? So I read it digitally so I don't even know. Oh so it wasn't broken up into books? Not the way I was reading it. Okay. I just had. I read an article about the spin-off and what it said was it's about Beastmaster and it's wildly outselling expectations So it exists It's in its first cooler is future or what the deal is because the comics kind of span They do some time jumping later on and they move forward a little bit And then mark occasionally will travel to a different universe or a different time or reality or whatever There's a lot of that shit going on to some of that happens in the show also. Yeah. Yeah
Starting point is 00:36:31 Yeah, I mean it follows the books real closely But I've recommend the books if you're if you're into the show because they obviously left on a huge cliffhanger with the show this year Yeah, the TV show producers said they may diverge from the books. I don't know if I want that. I do. You use, okay. I've read the books and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:36:52 I would have done this a little different. They do a good job with some things like art in the books, the in the books, the flaxons, that's that race that Omni-Man goes and just destroys their planet. He's like, earth is mine. I love it so much. That doesn't happen in the books. He actually has a hard time with them. They like, he goes to their planet and the reason he takes so long to get back
Starting point is 00:37:11 isn't just that their time is different. It's that they capture him and take his powers away for a while. And he has to form an uprising that takes eight months of his time. So when he comes back, he's telling that to his wife. He's like, ah, they captured me and had to form an uprising and take over the planet And then after a while we duplicated the portal technology and I was able to come home But in the in the show, it's just like he just went there and he was so overpowered He destroyed them until they let him go. They're like, please go go through this door. Go home. Please leave
Starting point is 00:37:42 He's holding an asteroid above their planet, like open the door. And he's like, here, it's open. And he just goes through the portal and lets the asteroid go. So it slopes, destroy the planet. Right. Yeah. That doesn't happen in the books. Not even close. They're a problem. There's still a problem. Like they keep coming back. Like some, some of our other main characters don't want to spoil who, but like they get sent back to the flaxen's and they live for like hundreds of years in Flaxen universe and they come back all fucked up mentally and changed because they they've lived a hundred hundreds of years in this Flaxen universe. So I hope they divert a little bit with the show. I think the TV show based on what you told me
Starting point is 00:38:19 made a good decision because they established Omni-Man's power level as something to behold. Like he- Yeah, I appreciate that. Yeah, because you think that like the father and son are gonna be relatively similar superheroes, and Mark got his butt kicked by the Flaxons, and his father decided to punish the entire planet for it. And one thing that I, Google told me that they,
Starting point is 00:38:44 so the Viltrumites get stronger as they age and they can be thousands of years old. I think Nolan is like 25 or 3500 years old or something, Omni man. But the Google told me that they didn't get stronger from the beatings they took and the damage they absorbed and then healed from. But in the books, that does kind of seem to be the case. I feel like that's what I'm reading. So the fact that Mark keeps just getting absolutely ruined is a good thing. Oh, and see, I don't remember them getting stronger
Starting point is 00:39:14 with every year, although I'm often wrong. So this could be another one of those. What I remembered is that every year they age half as much as the year before. So once they get to like a thousand years old They barely age a few minutes a year Yeah, yeah, there's do they ever die of old age I? Don't know none of them have died they like they they die of fighting before that yeah They usually something happens to them
Starting point is 00:39:39 I there's a lot of like spoilery stuff, but I don't remember any of them dying of old age And are there only 50 viltrumites in the comic also? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's that the numbers like it changes, you know, as people die. So there's like an exact number that they it'll be like, yeah, it's hard to count. Yeah, it was like 56. And then it you know, it slowly trickles down and then there'll be a major fight. And it's like the number fluctuates. But yeah,'s in the dozens and that's their big secret that and you learn why that happened how that happened their planet is so cool that i'll say this all the dead viltrum ites is a little spoiler for anybody that's reading ahead the dead viltrumites they have
Starting point is 00:40:20 formed created a ring around their planet with the dead viltrumite bodies to remember them so when you go to their planet they it's like saturn but the ring is with the dead Viltrumite bodies to remember them. So when you go to their planet, they it's like Saturn, but the ring is made of dead Viltrumites. Good gosh. It's awesome. Powerful out there. Yeah, it's good stuff. It's good stuff.
Starting point is 00:40:39 Definitely dug the books. It got me into watching One Punch Man again for some reason though. I'm just setting myself up for disappointment because I don't think they... The problem with animation is it's so expensive and it takes so long. They've already got all the voice work done for the next season of Invincible, but they're going to be animating for the next year. Did you see One Piece?
Starting point is 00:40:58 I don't know what that is. Anime? So One Piece started as anime, and then Netflix did a live action adaptation of it. And it's silly, so I haven't recommended it for you guys. Sometimes I like the good doctor, or something that I think is too gay for you guys. But, and One Piece might fall into that,
Starting point is 00:41:20 but Jackie and I liked it. It started as an anime, but there's a live action. It must have been really high budget. It's on Netflix. And the anime is famous for having like a thousand episodes. And I'm like, what is live action going to do? They can't make a thousand live action episodes when they all cost like 11 million each to produce. The nature of it is like one guy has really stretchy arms
Starting point is 00:41:44 and another guy, like it's something that's sort of cheap to draw, but really expensive to CGI. So I don't know how they're gonna put all that story into a live action, but I look forward to it. Kyle, you're muted. The animation is a huge problem, how long it takes and how expensive it is.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Invincible's animation, I'm told, has been going downhill. And I did go back and look and it's like, oh yeah, they're doing a lot of static scenes here. And they even have a little throwaway moment, I think maybe in season two, where there's a character who's got, I think someone goes to a comic book show maybe, and they're talking to a fictional comic book writer
Starting point is 00:42:22 who's selling books or something. And he's like, yeah, yeah, this and that. And he's like books or something and he's like yeah yeah this and that and he's like yeah and he's holding a piece of paper over his mouth he's like yeah yeah you know that animation takes a long time it's really expensive and arduous task and when you got a lot of characters talking for example the whole time yeah yeah he's like animation could be made cheaper but you don't understand how long and arduous and hard and expensive. You had a year and $12 million. Me and my observational disability make me uniquely prime for AI animation.
Starting point is 00:43:00 I'm down for it. Bring it. Give me shows every year. You can have AI whip up animation in like a day and I won't tell the difference If they could we're only a couple years from it doing it really really well Like now it'll do weird stuff that jumps out at you or you know, someone turns But like the animation they do it would jump out at anyone or like a guy does like an about face But instead of doing a full
Starting point is 00:43:24 180-degree turn he kind of just does a little turn and then it morphs into him a guy does like an about face, but instead of doing a full 180 degree turn, he kind of just does a little turn and then it morphs into him. Like the right shoulder becomes a left shoulder and he's just turning the other way, like now. But it's gonna get really, really fucking good. It seems like it, I don't know anything about AI or animation, but I know that one thing,
Starting point is 00:43:41 one trick they'll use a lot of times is they'll, they'll fight in a space that's easy to draw. Like fighting in the middle of a metropolis full of buildings exploding and burning while a crowd flees behind you and like the sky is full of smoke that moves and there's particles to animate. That's incredibly expensive and time consuming. But I watched One Punch Man last night, maybe episode three, and the bad guy tells One Punch Man, he's like, let's go to the combat arena, and so who is truly the strongest?
Starting point is 00:44:14 And I'm like, fuck yeah, the combat arena. The combat arena is a giant white cubicle room. It's just white. It's a perfectly white, like giant cube that they go and fight in. So there's no background to deal with? Yeah, I know this. Yeah, it's a government facility that's just pure like that. Sure. Yeah, they do that all the time. They did that in Invincible. It was in the comics too, but like Cecil takes him to the white room. And the white room, I guess, is like a pocket dimension
Starting point is 00:44:47 or a secret like layer thing of his that's some sort of technology mixed with magic, mixed with creepiness. And it's just like, but when you draw it, it's a big white room and the people just stand on the floor. It fooled me. I didn't even think of it as I was watching it. Like, oh, the white room.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Wow, this is different, you know This is different Yeah, Taylor Someone oh did you like fighting space a lot too? like like if they're gonna have if we're gonna go to space to do your fight and now we see the black background with a Star every now and then and we could err That could be fun There's a guy in my chat who has been hassling me
Starting point is 00:45:25 relentlessly to ask you, his name's Michael Ishar. Emo's pizza, is this a popular Missouri thing? Very popular. Yeah, it's more of a St. Louis thing than a whole, cause I don't know if you can get it everywhere in Missouri. Half anchovy, half bacon and pepperoni, is this like an accepted thing or unique to him? That's probably unique to him because I've eaten EMOs a thousand times in my life. It's
Starting point is 00:45:50 a pizza place and I've never gotten anchovies on it. Usually it's like thin crust pizza. And so you want more toppings focused. And so I like meat lovers on it or Italian sausage or Italian sausage and pepperoni I've done it with Italian sausage and jalapenos. That's good But really anything surrounding Italian sausage or pepperoni is gonna be good on there. It's not better than like all the other chains There's there's other st. Louis style pizza places. There's like Cecil Whitaker's Ferracci's a bunch of other Italian names that make the same style of pizza. But, uh, but some people pizza, huh? You don't think, yeah, those,
Starting point is 00:46:33 no, they're definitely not as good. Like if I'm like with friends and there's an EMOs nearby and we're getting pizza, we pretty much always get EMOs cause they also have good wings and toasted ravioli is another big St. Louis staple. They call it toasted ravioli. But it's fried. And so it's like it's just like meat ravioli with marinara sauce. And it's all crispy and fried up. And it's it's so good. What's that sounds like a solid cheat day. Oh, it's a great cheat day.
Starting point is 00:47:04 That's a what's his name Dave Port a solid cheat day. Oh, it's a great cheat day. That's a What's his name? Dave Portnoy? He does not like thin crust pizzas And I know kyle's a big pizza guy who watches his reviews He came to st. Louis to try I think I don't think he did emos. I think he did see so what occurs but it's all similar and it has uh St. Louis style pizzas thin crust and it has uh, pro val cheese on it Which is like a mixture of provolone, Swiss, and maybe cheddar. And so it's like a different tasting cheese. And if you're not used to it, sometimes you don't like it as much because it's not standard pizza cheese. And he ate it and he's
Starting point is 00:47:33 like, Oh, the pizza is fine. You know, I wouldn't write home about it. And then he like puts the pizza box down. He's like, but these, these ravioli things they got, these are fucking incredible. I'm blown away by these toasted ravioli. These aren't toasted, right? These are fried. Yeah, of course, obviously these are fried. How big are they? Like, cause I want them to be big.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Standard ravioli size. You can go to some, most restaurants here have as an appetizer, toasted ravioli. And there are places that have big circular raves, but you don't get as good of a crispy to meat ratio there. And so I would do cheese though. I would do cheese.
Starting point is 00:48:09 You can do cheese, but most of the time meat is better. Like it just, I just think the meat is, is better in there. Little beef meat at little. I would like, I would like cheese with some Italian like Italian sausage. That's what I want in there. That sounds delicious. Yeah. Pull up toasted ravioli picks.
Starting point is 00:48:23 I want to cut it diagonally and then dip it in some marinara Oh, it's a hand food Yeah, it's a hand food you get well You make them as big as I like a like a like a slice of bread at least Be a huge ravioli because it's just cut it in half normal-sized ravioli. Yeah. Oh, I want a big boy Did you get yourself some fucking tea raves a pizza and you're you're sitting pretty. You're having a good evening. What's a tea rave?
Starting point is 00:48:49 A toasted rave. Oh my God. Dude, they're so good. They're they're delicious. I love their Tarasenko misses Saint Louis for this reason. I would. Other places don't have this and it's such an easy layup of an idea.
Starting point is 00:49:04 Like they're they're so fucking tasty. Man, I'm hungry. Mrs. St. Louis for this reason. I would. Other places don't have this and it's such an easy layup of an idea. Like they're so fucking tasty. Oh man, I'm hungry. This is what happens when Italians move to the Midwest. We do. For a Midwest city, we have a lot of WAPs. There's a whole section of the city. Is WAP an acronym or just a slur?
Starting point is 00:49:22 I think it's just a mean way to refer to Italians. Yeah. Let's find the derivation. The derivation of the WAP an acronym or just a slur? I think it's just a mean way to refer to Italians. Yeah. Let's find the derivation. The derivation of the wrong, or you could say Dago. Yeah, but there's a ton of them on the Hill, which is like an Italian community there. And they like, yeah, they make great.
Starting point is 00:49:39 WAP dates from the 1890s. A more plausible etymology for this word is that it comes from the Italian,, a more plausible etymology for this word is that it comes from the Italian aguapo, a word that is Neapolitan and Sicilian, which means a dude, a swell or a bold showy person. Ah, a guapo. And they just call them what? There you go. That's a fun fact. Where did Charlie come from? For Vietnamese. Is that Vietnamese?
Starting point is 00:50:08 Vietnamese, yeah. Was it used for Japanese? VVC, Viet Cong, Charlie. And then they just took the C and made. Let's see. Maybe, because isn't Charlie also the like alpha, Bravo, Charlie. Like that's the military word, right for C.
Starting point is 00:50:27 Victor Charlie is what is what you would say for VC. So VC is short for Viet Cong. And you would say Victor Charlie when you're, you know, saying, saying that. Taylor just landed on that through intuition nicely done. Yeah, a little bit of inference there to figure out the racism entomology. What about moon cricket? Where'd that one come from? Who's that for? Chinese people?
Starting point is 00:50:53 Blacks. Oh. That's a black one, but it's like, I feel like if you said that in 1890, some dude would be like, bro, what year do you think it is? Like that's old. That's old. That's so 1860.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Yeah, that's so, like 1840s. Is it because they're like loud and annoying at night? Oh, I took it to mean at night, you only see like eyes and teeth. Like somehow that was like what ringed in my mind. I don't know. The moon part, the I thing you're saying makes sense for the moon part, but the cricket part makes me think
Starting point is 00:51:31 it has something to do with noise or dance. What do you suggest it begins with US slaves who sang as a pastime, an act of community and resistance, okay, at night after their labor. Crickets are also known to chirp in the evening when the moon is out an active resistance yeah so they think it comes from from that that uh that like oh what's that noise down there ah just them moon crickets singing their songs resistance
Starting point is 00:52:00 yeah resist me up a crap in the morning. Yeah, that's probably something like that. Probably something like that. That's such an old one that you can say it now. Like that sounds like it could be like an indie band, like Jeremiah and the Moon Crickets. And it's- I was thinking about Moon Cricket. In 2015, a basketball coach in Maine
Starting point is 00:52:19 settled a lawsuit against him after he called two black players Moon Crickets. He dug that one out of the archives. Geez. I'm saying, we're the moon crickets. No, it would be some sort of folky. Oh, the term is used slowly in the US, primarily in southeastern states like Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, whatever. There's an unfortunately named cafe in Florida
Starting point is 00:52:45 called Moon Cricket Grill, founded in 1995. Their website says they spent months in search of a name that was inviting and whimsical, claiming Moon Cricket was a fun, hoppin' place. They'd had no idea it was a slur, apparently. There's no Wikipedia, they're just like, Moon Cricket, that is kind of fun and festive. People are going to love our restaurant.
Starting point is 00:53:09 A place where families come to catch up. Come on down to Wetback Waterpark where you'll be sliding up and down. You'll be soaked at Wetback Waterpark. That's a great name for a waterpark. It's perfect. Don't worry, everyone will be here at a water park. Everyone will wear. You have a customer base.
Starting point is 00:53:31 And you won't be alone. What will you do with 10,000 crates of white t-shirts now? Because here everyone wears a t-shirt. It's a rule. That is a classic Hispanic move to wear a t-shirt, t-shirt in the water park, or also almost as much a fat white guy move. Yeah. Yeah. Shoes in the pool is one of the rudest things I can imagine.
Starting point is 00:54:01 That's a, that's a. What if they're water shoes? Water shoes are different. Yeah. But like I've seen people jumping in. It's like you're wearing New Balance's in the shoe. And it's like, you've been like walking through a public street and now you're jumping in the pool with your new- Well there's glass in the pool.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Yeah, there's glass in the pool. And I guess in a pool like that, where people are wearing t-shirts and New Balance's, like there's piss in the pool. All right, let's be fair. There's always piss in the pool, but there's like broken Corona bottles in the back and the bottom of the pool. All right, let's be fair. There's always piss in the pool, but there's like broken Corona bottles in the back and the bottom of this.
Starting point is 00:54:27 Dude, I was naive. I was naive as a child. Like I didn't pee in pools. And so I thought that was like an understood thing. Like, yeah, of course you don't pee in the pool. You just get out and then go pee and then you hop back in the pool. Like, and like apparently kids were just missing.
Starting point is 00:54:44 To test for pee in a pool. Like they don't know how. Yeah. Well, mostly salt water itself and that you can test for urea, but that's an ingredient in sweat. So you're the presence of urea. Does not mean the presence of P sweating in the pool. So is there any technology? It was like, so that, that whole water turning pink, that was just a myth, a total myth? Yes, I heard it as blue,
Starting point is 00:55:08 but that is not a thing that's ever been a thing. Because if they could test and it was doing it for urea, just people playing in the pool would be like, why is it coming off my skin? Well, because you're sweating. Yeah, I mean, balancing the pH in the pool is hard enough. We're not gonna have some detecting chemical that's going to, and plus that'd be kind of shitty if you didn't tell everybody,
Starting point is 00:55:28 it'd be great to put a sign up, but then right away, somebody be like, let's find out. Hey, they're lying. Everybody piss away. Yeah, it is rude. I don't like pool pissers. I didn't think about that as like a helpful lie. Like porcupines throw their quills. We all know that. It's not true though. They don't throw their quills, but it's a good lie. Everyone keeps their distance from porcupines
Starting point is 00:55:55 because maybe they do shoot the like darts. They like, they like flick their ass in. And if it just makes one less person pee in the pool, it's a good lie. Yeah. They like flick their ass at you and hit you with it. But they certainly don't. Yeah, they back up really quick. I've seen videos of that where they kind of like that quick shuffle back at you, try and get the bear out of their ass or whatever,
Starting point is 00:56:15 or the bear out of their face, but they turn their ass. That's such a cool evolutionary defense mechanism just to be like, you think other like other animals must be pissed where it's like I'm just kind of red and they're supposed to stay away. This is anyone minds Where's here, Georgia? I've never worked fine in Georgia. I've seen him in Texas. I haven't either I've seen one in Colorado. I think it was neat to do that motorcycle ride around the country because I didn't realize like How many little critters I had never seen in real life. I'm like look at that thing a flying squirrel they're not in New Jersey. Oh look at this. Oh a chipmunk come to think of it I don't think I've seen chipmunks in prairie dogs all sorts of little things. You go across the country. Porcupines. I know we have badgers but I saw badgers. Yeah I've never seen
Starting point is 00:57:02 a badger. I've never seen a mole. You've seen dance though, probably, right? Well, that's a beaver. Okay, well, the thing is I said it wrong. I've seen beavers. I don't know why you thought I meant badger. My bad. I've caught and hunted beavers and otters before,
Starting point is 00:57:23 so we definitely have those. The only time I've ever seen porcupines was in Texas. I caught a big porcupine in Texas. As long as you like hold it right, like the quills go one direction, right? So if you'd like, if you abuse that, they can hurt you. Like if you pet with the fur, you're okay. Yeah, I grabbed its tail and just held it upside down
Starting point is 00:57:43 by its spiky tail and it can't really do anything then Yeah, but most other animals can't do that. So that's a good still a good defense I've seen a badger once Like walking by the side of the road near my grandparents house and they just they look ornery You know, they made a point be like don't go near that I picture one I picture Disney Like I don't think I've ever like I don't have a real life like file to go to. So I go to Fox and the Hounds Badger or Fox and the Hound Badger.
Starting point is 00:58:14 He was a bad guy in that, wasn't he? I'm a working dog now, Todd. That's a great movie. That's I think that's Kurt Russell doing the voice of the Fox. You might be right. Yeah. And then I haven't seen the Fox and the Hound. I'm a hound dog. Roo roo roo roo roo. Okay, yeah, because you said Fox in the Hound and my mind went to what is the one where the two dogs fall in love they eat the spaghetti and kiss? 101 Dalmatians.
Starting point is 00:58:38 No. It's called 101, oh Lady and the Tramp. Lady and the Tramp, that's the one I was going for and I'm like i can't picture the badger really and how is he old enough to voice lady in the tramp but he's so old like so kurt russell has been acting since he was a small child so there's black and white um him 12 year old 12 years old in westerns with charles bronson and stuff he told a great story about charles bronson he's 12 years old he's working on this Westerns with Charles Bronson and stuff. He told a great story about Charles Bronson. He's 12 years old. He's working on this TV show with Charles Bronson.
Starting point is 00:59:08 He finds that it's Charles Bronson's birthday. So he went out and he got Charles Bronson to get 12 year old Kurt Russell does to get some remote control car or something. Hey, I heard it was your birthday. I got you this. Charles Bronson took the toy and looked at it and looked at the ground, walked away. I didn't say anything. He was like, well, okay.
Starting point is 00:59:27 I guess he doesn't like kids. They were like, don't worry about it, kid. Don't worry about it. He didn't mean nothing by it. He didn't like kids. He was like a little while later, they said, hey, Charlie, why don't you come to his dressing room? Let's talk to you.
Starting point is 00:59:39 He was like, so I went to Charles Bronson's dressing room and he was standing there. He wouldn't look at me. He just looked at the floor kind of. He said, uh, Hey kid, uh, appreciate that toy. It's just, uh, nobody ever got me anything from my birthday before. I thanks. It was like broken down because the kid had given him his first, first birthday
Starting point is 01:00:03 present really good story birthday present. Really? Yeah, really good story. Wow, that was Kurt Russell, little baby face Kurt Russell. Little baby face Kurt Russell. Now he's like fucking... How sweet. Now he's 74 and... Did he start in porn? Charles Bronson is... No, so you're thinking of...
Starting point is 01:00:22 Stallone? Again, he was acting when he was 12, so there's a clue that probably not but you're thinking of stalone and he didn't do any nudity He's sort of sitting there and he's the guy who was like, whoa, you guys are boning. I'm out of here He's like that guy Huh? I think i'm almost positive. That was the deal. Um, I know he did some like stuff like that before rocky But he definitely didn't then fuck on film or we'd see it.
Starting point is 01:00:47 Cameron Diaz did some nude modeling before she got into Hollywood. I remember that. I can picture it. But no. How did I know? Look at that doll. Oh, what a good fella. I got this thing on my phone, so it just gives me random dogs throughout the day.
Starting point is 01:01:05 So it's like, not even your, not even your dogs. No, it's just different dog. And they shuffle every day. So there's a Pomeranian. Jackie is already thinking about new dogs. She was like, let's go down to one dog. Let's not get one until the next dog passes, et cetera,
Starting point is 01:01:21 et cetera. And now she's like, you know, we could, we could, we could, we could even be a one dog family. We'll just get the dog now. You know what I mean? I think the one we have is lonely. It was like, we're always home. That's a natural part of the healing process, I think,
Starting point is 01:01:39 is wanting that next dog, because they do add so much to your life. And actually, would you go Great Dane again, or would you switch it up? I think we would, I think we would. Although I'm kind of thinking our last Great Dane, because I'm 52, let's say it lives 12 years, that'll put me at 64.
Starting point is 01:01:55 How many Great Dane carrying years do I have? Not two of them. Not 24 years. You can't make me 76. Yeah. That one would have the run of the roost. I can't come out today. Jim won't let me. Threw my back out carrying my 160 pound dog. Yeah. So these dogs are too fucking big.
Starting point is 01:02:26 It's not too fucking big. They are. Eagle. I'm sure they're sweet and wonderful, but that that size dog is that's too much pup for me. It's got craps on deck. The good choker donkey. I go bigger. I go bigger. If there was a greater Dane, I'd be like, well, that's the one.
Starting point is 01:02:43 Why would you get a mere great aid when there's a greater one out there? I mean, there is. They make that big Irish wolfhound and do like crazy stuff like that. They make giant Danes. They make greater Danes. A Saint Dane, a Saint Dane, mix it with something attractive, not something slobbery and ugly. Like get a find a good attribute that you want to mix into the game. Right. The, the, our great Danes are so gentle. They're the dog you would let a baby crawl on. Right. And I like that test. Like, Oh, this one's friendly, but be nice.
Starting point is 01:03:14 No, no, no. You could stick your fingers in its mouth, its nose. It's that level of friendly. And that, that attracts me to the breed. Yeah. Looks like English Mastiff. Fuck you up. An English Mastiff is another kind of enormous dog.
Starting point is 01:03:28 Looks like they get even heavier than Great Danes by a good margin. That could. Yeah, Great Danes are not the heaviest dog. They're often really tall for their weight, but not heavy. Yeah. You guys ready to rap? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:41 Yeah. I hear my little Pomeranian barking. Yeah. Cool, perfect timing then. PKN 554.
