Painkiller Already - PKN 559

Episode Date: May 6, 2025

Pk and five 59 sup boys. How's it going too much? Alright, enjoy an oblivion trying to get the taste of that. Blues season out of my mouth. Horrible news. I mean, you're waiting up until the end up until 1.6 seconds. And like, you know what's crazy is like six. I thought it was one point sticks. Yeah. Okay. Uh,

I was sitting there watching with my girlfriend and the blues are up three to one. And then this is like near the end of the bird. Yeah. No, I was like, there's no, I already, I was not confident. And then they scored a second goal with like a minute and a half left and they were still down three to two. And my girlfriend's like, they just have to survive. And I even told her, I was like, it's over. They're going to score.

Honey, you're new to the St. Louis Blues. See? I know how this goes. This is how it goes. There was one point in the game where one of our forwards, usually a good one, had the chance to take the, just carry the puck. Let's call it five seconds of puck possession before icing it and not even icing it really

because their goalie was pulled, still icing. But I saw him just like immediately get the puck and then flip it down the ice, like a fucking third grader would, panicky Pete. And immediately I was like, this is gonna cost us the game because now there's 42 seconds left in the game where it would have been, you know, 24 seconds left. If he would have carried it up and like at least gotten a little bit of pressure forward. Very frustrating. It was a, again, a house money series.

Even all my friends who were like, man, that would have been fun to beat the Jets in the biggest upset and in the past decade in the playoffs. And then, you know, we probably now we were lost in five to Dallas. I guess that's that would have been fun to beat the jets in the biggest upset and in the past decade in the playoffs. And then, you know, we probably now we were lost in five to Dallas. I guess that's what would have happened. Like we wouldn't, no one thinks the blues had a shot at the cup, but if you beat Winnipeg, you can beat anyone. Winnipeg had in a total implosion. Like they did not look like the best team in the league.

Their goalie played horribly. There was like the best team in the league. Their goalie played horribly. There was like the best team in the league because they were up against the mother truck in St. Louis Blues, baby. That's true. And even like I saw some revisionist history about the game seven where people were like, the Blues were dominating the whole time. And then they choked. And it's like, is it your first fucking game? Look at the shot total.

Oh, like it was like the only reason the Blues were even vaguely in it was because our goalie was playing lights out and their goalie was struggling. So like if you're a stats and stories gamer, I look at that stat a lot. If you have 42 shots on goal and I have like 27, that tells me as much as the score does. You know, I know where the possession was mostly. It was on that side of the end. I know who is, you know, kind of controlling the flow. The actual goals, it's not, I mean, I guess it's like football. It's like anything, but like usually goals and shots on goal are aligned, but sometimes they're not. Sometimes it just doesn't go like that. Like when they were in OT and second OT,

I was like, I don't even know why I'm watching they were in OT and second OT, I was like, I don't even know why I'm watching this anymore. For every one shot the Blues get, the Jets are getting five. I remember seeing like shots on goal for the Jets, like 48. The Blues are at like 27 or something. I'm like, come on, we at least got to hit 30. So it looks like we put up a good fight. Like more shots than this by the fifth period of the game.

But yeah, now I get to watch carefree and pull for any team that's not Dallas. Hurricanes Bagwing has an open seat on it, just saying. Well, I like the Hurricanes. I like Bryndamore and they're actually are they playing? They're playing the Capitals, aren't they? Yes. Yeah, that'll be a tough one. But for the Capitals, we are favored for the capitals. It'll be very, very tough.

No, I think capitals have home field advantage, right? They do, I think. But I think the Hurricanes are favored. Okay. Well, they're a good team. I could go either way. Is that one tonight? I think it is. I think it would starts in like one hour.

So I'll probably watch that. It's almost nice. If the Blues were the number one seed and they were like expected to go far and they got knocked out, I'd be like really, really bummed. I'll tell like an embarrassing amount of bummed out that a team I have nothing to do with lost a game. But this season it's like, yeah, what are you gonna do?

They're- I just dropped a Lincoln. Carolina minus 135. That means favored, right? Yes. Right? Is this a game to game odds? Is that how it works?

No, I don't think so. It's, you see the link? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And- I got it. I mean, I don't know why they'd be favored for game one in particular when that one's on the road for them. Like- Hmm. Yeah, that's weird. It'd be favored for game one in particular when that one's on the road for them like

Hmm Yeah, that could be the next game, but it looks to me like carolina's favorite for the series Kyle you've gotten some of your predictions, right? Yeah, you guys went to game seven and you lost I predicted that. I just need the um, And then of course I picked the capitals to win it all so so far so good Yeah, the the avalanche did lose to the stars. They did. They did. I was very bummed out about that. I followed that closely. I had my my my finger on the pulse of Colorado. Colorado hockey. Yes. Yeah. Oh, they were when the blues lost their game, uh, people were joking like, this is the biggest upset in NHL in almost 18 hours, like, because the

evening prior the, uh, avalanche were up two to nothing in the third period game seven, and then they allowed Dallas to score four times and the guy who scored for Dallas, who got a hat trick, Miko Rantanen was let go by the Avalanche, I think earlier this year. And so he like put the knife in their back. So that was a good stats and stories sports thing is the abs were like, this guy's good, but I'm not paying him.

You go play for Carolina. And then he was like, I don't wanna play for Carolina. I wanna play for Dallas. They're gonna pay me a little more money or something. And then for him to be the one that hat tricks you in the third period, I think first ever hat trick all in the third period. I want to play for Dallas. There's no state income taxes.

Yeah. Or like I would want to play for a Southern team because you get, you get the glory of winning. You get the better weather, but also like, like if you fuck up bad on the Toronto Maple Leafs, someone might kill you. Like someone might come to your house or at least it's Canada. So they might like scold you roundly.

Killing you is a long shot. I don't think that's ever happened. Yeah. But would someone give you a hard time at the Quickie Mart as you're trying to put gas in your car? Absolutely. right? Rod Brindimore doesn't get recognized every day. Here in Great Raleigh.

Probably never. They just see people see him, they're like, who's that fit guy with the fucked up nose? Yeah, right? Steph Curry in Golden State, he plays basketball in California. He has it made. It is just widely known that when he wins, he plays basketball in California. He has it made.

It is just widely known that when he wins, he's everybody's hero. When he loses, nobody cares. You get asked for better. Yeah, that's the way to do it. And you still make just as much money, Kyle, you are muted. What were you saying? I know. I was talking to myself.

Oh, I was talking to myself. It's not always about you. Yeah, relax, Taylor was talking to myself. Yes, not always about you. Yeah, relax, Taylor. You're right. That was over the line. Seeing my cohost mouth word silently and then go, actually, I was talking to myself. And now he's keeping himself muted. I was talking a little Murphy Murphy's down there between my between my little my feet.

He's got his little head on my on my flip flop and he's looking up at me through the darkness and I see his two little glowy beetle eyes looking up at me with love as he aged out of wire chomping wire. Oh no absolutely not. I just got hardier wires. I got better wires like Like I did have, I did have this huge 100 foot ethernet cable that I keep like spooled up under the desk. And if I ever need to,

I run that to my Xbox that's like across the house to download a game. Cause download speeds are crazy. Even on wifi it's terrible. And games are 150 gigs now. All of them are. So anyway, he chews them bitches up. So I had to get a hardier cable.

It's thick and mean. And it looks like he would bury it outside. So he can't chew through that. He's just a little guy. I did find a mashed up dead bird on the floor this morning when I got up to go to the bathroom and Murphy fought me like a cougar for it. But I had to, I had to pinch his little nostrils shut and he, he went, he held his breath for like four or five seconds and then disgusting. All of its organs are mushed out. Like it's just a, do you think he was the original culprit or another dog snapped him up and then left him? So they get into my son room and they can't always get back out. Do you think he was the original culprit or another dog snapped him up and then left him? So they get into my son room and they can't always get back out. And I usually, if I'm downstairs, I hear him flopping around and I saved them,

but I was asleep. It was early in the morning and they, uh, they, I don't know which one I'm killed. It probably one of the bigger ones, uh, did the killing, but Murphy claimed the prize for sure. He's the, he's the meat. He knows that there are no consequences. like he'll bully the bigger dogs and they'll show teeth And they'll look like a wolf. They'll just be like, ah And he's just like licking their teeth. Fuck you. I'll take your toy. Fuck you. I'll take your fight me fight me you bitch They'll sell you you know, they will guess what the big one's gonna step in

Second the big bipedal ape is going to protect me. Yeah, you know, it's getting nasty with me. Yeah, he knows I'm on his team. He he's a he's a barky, bitey piece. Yeah. So there he is. Tell me again how good little dogs are. Oh, they're great.

That's so cute. He's protecting like he heard something and he thought number one might be threatened. I must secure the poem. It's all sleeping right now. That's how I like him. He weighs 14 pounds and he walks like one of those guys who thinks he's Jack but has his arms like all out to the side when he walks.

Like he walks in like like he has to. He weighs 14 pounds. He turns sideways when he walks through doors like he's he's absurd. He's longer that way. He needs to think this he weighs 14 pounds, he turns sideways when he walks through doors, like he's absurd. He's longer that way, he needs to think this through. Yeah, yeah. He thinks he's so tough, like he hears anything. I'll never forget when he tried to fight the neighbor's dog, their floofy little, quite floofy pussy dog,

and that pussy dog bit the shit out of Murphy, and he came running back to me screaming and crying, oh, I, this calculation. Got a good strategy. How far are you in oblivion? I think I'm like level getting close to 30, maybe somewhere around there, maybe like high 20s, low 30s on my level. I've mostly made my guy like I couldn't settle on heavy armor or light armor.

So I'm wearing a miss, like I'm mismatched for a little bit of both So I'm ranking both light and heavy at the same time I don't know if that's not a good idea or not But I've got really good pieces of light and really good pieces of heavy so I'm just mixing them and I'm mostly just sword and shield like going through it but Doing a bunch of magic like passively as I move constantly, just casting illusion on myself. The invisibility spell is just broken. Oh, like now, like once you just make yourself invisible, it's like real life.

It's like, oh, yes, you all are fucked, huh? Because you can't see me anymore. And they have nothing for that. Guards will like walk right up to your crouched invisible. Like he'll see you crouched stealing something and I'll be like, stop right there. And then you turn yourself invisible. And he's like standing next to you and he's like, must have been the wind. And walks away.

But yeah, the invisibility, but that's I can see why they made some changes to invisibility in Skyrim because it's totally here while invisible. Now you reveal yourself when you strike, but the spell is expensive. Don't get me wrong. It took me a while to rank up enough to even be able to cast it once, like have enough magicka, but eventually you've got enough. You can cast it five or six times in a row back to back.

So you just throughout the fight, it was invisible. Pow! Oh God, invisible. Pow! Rinse and repeat stealth attacking them from invisibility. I'm sure you just give them a light tap while you have all that time to wind up and do whatever. I hit them as hard as I fucking can every time. Yeah, absolutely. It's a fun game. For 20 years old, man, there's a lot of juice to be squeezed out of this thing.

And I agree with what you said. I think it's a better game than Skyrim. I think that they dumb things down for Skyrim, especially with the magic and enchanting and took it to like three core elemental attacks, you know, lightning, fire, ice or something. And Skyrim, I think, where this game just has a lot more potential, a lot more to do. It reminds me a little bit of Baldur's Gate.

With that, there's so much to do with the magic in particular. And I heard people complaining that the landscape is barren, that you walk around and you don't find anything. But oh, my God, I don't think that's constantly when you're walking. Like I'll stand on a mountain peak and I'm like, all right, there's eight things to do. Like I can see them glowing like, look, there's some skeletons. They're they're bathed in a blue magical light right there.

And like over there is like a throne That'll give me powerful armor for like two minutes or whatever and there's a castle and there's a hole in the ground with Monsters in it there's stuff everywhere. So yeah, really digging it a lot a lot of I'll probably play it again once I beat it Yeah, I'll play it again with Maybe I'll maybe I'll do Archer next time cuz I haven't touched a bow this entire time. Yeah, I just shot about one scored shield. Yeah, it's it's a great game. It's surpassed my wildest expectations. Like I didn't know it would have been hard for me to not be annoyed

at Skyrim's magic system had I played the original oblivion, because like I would have the whole time been like oh so they just made magic gay now where you have to take a little pre-plug in thing. Whereas here I have I made a spell that makes my guy so athletic and so speedy for a minute that like when he sprints it's like forcing it's like the xbox starts humming like it's like forcing, it's like the Xbox starts humming. Like if I hit a rock or something at the right angle, I'm not even jumping, just the sprint will launch me like I'm taking off.

My character is so fast. I can't. Yeah, he gets lift when he runs. And you take, I think like no damage from falling, but he still makes the noise of like, oh, every single time he falls. So I like it. He jumps on water.

Like when you get your athleticism or whatever into 75, you can, you can like list across water now. Yeah. Yeah. I've been jumping across water. My athletics isn't at a hundred yet. So I can't sprint across the surface of water, but you can, I have cheated my way through some of the oblivion gates.

Cause you can, if you can jump across the my way through some of the oblivion gates because you can if you can Jump across the surface of the water with the high acrobatics that also works on lava And so sometimes it's like, you know this you know There's there's 15 like tower of or thanks around and I'm supposed to go up and you know Kill bad guys and all of them and pull levers if with the eventual goal of opening up a giant steel gate that's on a stone bridge across nothing but lava. So there's no way to get across. And I just forgo all of that. And I just hop across the lava and go right to the other side kind of not scared of it. But after you do 15 oblivion gates, it's like there's not there's not going to be anything new here. The lava plays like water, the physics. So you can jump into the water, the lava and

swim if you're tough enough. Yeah. Yeah. You got to care. I guess tough itself. It, uh, I think there's going to be a lot of remasters now. I saw that gears has already been announced. I think it was, I think they were already working on it, but they're gonna release the Gears remaster and I'm here for it. Like especially like the good ones, like the Gears series, the Halo series, I'm all for them being remastered forever.

Just every 10 years, freshen it back up again. So I'm gonna play that for sure when it comes out. I miss Gears. I tried to go back to it maybe a year or two ago and it looks like shit now. I couldn't. So a remaster is needed. I downloaded that Expedition 33 game just because it's on Game Pass, but I haven't played it yet. It's really good. It has those events during fights where you have to hit the button like as a thing moves, like, like, and it's like perfect parry and like, there's a lot of timed events. They mix that into the turn-based.

And I heard it called a JRPG like, and describe and compared to Final Fantasy, but I've never played a JRPG and I've never played Final Fantasy. So I can't speak to that, but the music and just the environment and the vibe when you're just running around in the world, the girl character sort of like bends her feet back and hovers as she sprints.

And so she's like a fairy running along. And it's like the music is in French. So it's, la voie si, la voie si, la voie si, la voie si, la voie si,

la voie si, la voie si, la voie si, la voie si, la voie si, la voie si, off of East Cure. And I'm just like, fuck yeah, all right. This sounds like Woody repellent to me. It's just like that song, the cheesy graphics, the turn-based that like- This is gonna be a game of the year. Well, I haven't played it, so it's not a very educated opinion, but I'm just like-

This is gonna be the game of the year. This is it. Everybody's freaking out. I am so flaccid right now. Dude, So good. The graphics look like pretty normal, like a pretty good. I disagree. Now they look real good.

I'm definitely flaccid. The premise is crazy. Like it's I have a hard time putting my finger on what the time period is, but we're in like Paris has been cast into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and there's some giant like other dimensional being that's like Counting the years down until we don't know what happens and we're the 33rd expedition out of a hundred So like 60 or 57 years of

67 years have passed 67 expeditions have failed and we're going. They just stole Robert Pattinson's face and made it the main character. Like they didn't pay him, they didn't scan him. They just watched his movies, copy pasted that son of a bitch in the game and he's your main character. It looks exactly like him. It's not close, it just is him. It's a fun game, I've only played maybe three hours.

I've been playing so much Oblivion, but I've watched a bunch of content. It looks really good. It plays really well. Have you done the quest in Oblivion where you can choose whether or not to gaslight that crazy person? No. So there's, so like, I know you weren't big on Skyrim, Woody. The quests

in Oblivion are so much funnier and just the way that like when you talk to someone it like like snaps you into their frame for the discussion. It's just it's very unintentionally funny and then there are intentional funny parts like there's there's this crazy guy named like glad Glathier running around a city and he just approaches you and is like Everyone's following me. They're stalking me. I need your help, please. They'll never admit it, but they're they're coming for me I don't know what their purposes are, but I need your help and like I'm like I'm a hero That's what I do. I go around close oblivion gates and I sprint really fast and I help people.

And so I like start investigating and the whole town, like there's a lot of NPC dialogue. Like when you walk into a bar or an inn, they're all talking often about like whatever is recently happening in the game. And that's a way better part than Skyrim because they don't have that as much there. And everyone you talk to is like, Hey, I noticed you were talking to Glathier. Seems like a good guy, but I think he's really mentally troubled. So, you know, keep an eye out. And then everyone's talking like this guy's saying like, I think the, the countess, she wants to kill me. And you talk to the countess and she's like, yeah, is he the guy who walks like right in front of me every single morning at 620 on the way to temple? Seems like a nice enough guy, but he's gibbering to himself

sometimes. So I'd be careful. And you like, it's beyond clear spoilers, but it's very clear that this guy's not being stalked. But when you go back and report to him, he asks like, so what have you discovered? It'll say like, no one is stalking you, you need to calm down. And another one is like, you're right, they're on you. They're coming soon. Someone chose that.

Yeah, I wanted to keep him alive for my playthrough because I thought he might give me something good, ended up not really mattering. My brother, I watched, we were all on Discord and he did it where he gaslit him and tells him like you, you're being followed. Everyone's following you, Glathier. And what happens when you tell him all that is he has a mental breakdown and gets in a fight with a guard and is killed in the middle of the street. And so he is slain. He's alive in mind though, because I kept him. I have mental health.

I just watched a video where the cop pulls these trashy fucking people over and he pulls them out because I think he sees some drugs like open and in their van. This old lady, I ain't doing nothing wrong. And the cop is like, well, look at that. And there's a raccoon in her front seat, like a pet raccoon, a big fat boy. And he's like talking to the cop is like well look at that and there's a raccoon in her front seat like a pet raccoon a big fat boy and he's like talking to the cop he's like what the raccoon has a meth pipe he's playing with it and you look and the raccoon has a meth pipe in its mouth like like he had and he's like ma'am this is well don't take it from him it's evidence now and so the cop like

This is, well don't take it from him, it's evidence now. And so the cop like, scritches the raccoon on the head and takes its meth pipe away. He's like, this is, you can't have this. And she's like, ah, it is. And he definitely can't have this shit. That's the best alibi ever. Fucking raccoon had her meth pipe in her car.

I don't know what's on that one. They do grab things from garbage. Like I feel like it's, I don't know. I don't know. **** raccoon had her meth pipe in her car. I I do grab things from garbage like II feel like it's it doesn't defy belief. Well, it wasn't the raccoons meth pipe. I know that it could have been. You don't know

where he got it. Raccoons gather. That's true. Okay. Okay. He could have. He could be someone else's then. Um I'm pretty sure it was the the old ladies who own the probably gathered her from the glove compartment. Sure. Sure. Those things have those little people hands. I'd be scared. Like if there was a gun laying around, I would be fearful of

the raccoon grabbing the trigger somehow just like because they have the ability to like grab and pull do possums or possums have those hands too or my no, no, they got more more paws. They might have a goofy little thumb thing, but not a good one. Like dogs have that weird. Dew claw. Yeah.

Wait, what? I felt a dew claw. A dew claw. The one up there on their wrists a little bit? Yeah. Huh. Isn't that what it's, it was a thumb or something or like it had more purpose back in the day. Working on their thumb.

Give them 10 million years. Yeah, what direction are they going? Are they losing? It depends on the world around them. They may they may need that thumb later. They're keeping it there in case they need it in a few million years. And I think they will. Dogs are going to need their thumbs eventually. Now, we got them right where we want them. And I think they will. Dogs are gonna need their thumbs eventually.

Nah, we got them right where we want them. They're emulating us. They're gonna be even better helpers. You know who'd be dangerous with thumbs? Bears. They could get a good grasp on things instead of just kind of clapping and pawing. People under,

I've seen them open car doors. The grappling is. They can like use their claws to like hook things. I don't even use my thumb to open a car door though. That's that's not a great example. Sure. Yeah, you use it to open a doorknob. Now imagine if they opened a doorknob.

That'd be tricky. Yeah. Thumbed animals are almost always smarter than non-thumbed animals. Dolphins are the only exception but that's almost a technical exception because nothing in the sea has thumbs of terrestrial

animals. I'm, uh, we were talking to gaming. I'm playing a famously difficult game. It's one of the hardest souls like games ever made right now. And uh, I'm having a hard time learning it because it's in Japanese and so many of these things make no sense to me. And even the translations don't make much sense to me first of all Like I see a sword. I'm like, okay sword

I know what that is and this is a new to Kai Apparently that means sword too and then there's some other like thing that means sword but also with the chain nearby I don't even know what these weapons are. None of these word makes sense. Even the English words don't make sense Oh, here's a soul core. Would you like to attune it? Like well, I know what a soul is, and I know what a core is, and I kinda know what a tuning is. What is attuning a soul core exactly?

What does this do for my care? I don't get it, oh my God. Sometimes I can attune three of them at one time. Other times, I can't attune one at all. And I don't even, is attuning equipping? Cause it seems like after I attune it I still have to equip it. I don't know what is happening here.

That's going up. I box turns yellow if you do it right. I think I've gathered that much information but are we powering up a weapon like like we're using like it sounded to me like we're using soul gems to like enchant a weapon and make it a better version of itself Kind of like a talisman, but there are also jewels you put on your weapon which are kind of like talismans It is really hard to get your arms around the 600 mechanics in this game and they wisely feed them to you one at a time

it's so initially your character is just like inept and them to you one at a time. So initially your character is just like inept and not very good at anything. And as he levels up and gets more abilities, hopefully you're leveling up and learning to use. Like in Call of Duty, every button on the controller was used, but that's it. In these games, they're like,

what the hell, there are 97 things you do. So for this, you hit Y then B, this you hit Y LB, this you hit Y LB RT, this you do that. And I'm just like, oh man, this is a lot to remember. I'm doing okay. I've avoided temper tantrums on stream. So that's a win. That is a win.

Because you can't let the audience see you have a temper tantrum because then they're gonna go to you and you can't let the audience see you Have a temper tantrum again You have one of those signs behind you like zero days since my I love that. I want to have a counter on stream. Like how many days and hours since my last temper tantrum? And they'll be like, reset it, Woody. Reset the temper tantrum. That's genius.

I'm reading that down. Good, good. You have your little spaz outboard. Yeah. I'm going to be on oblivion for a bit. I think like AOE two is always kind of evergreen because I, you know, I have a big group of friends who we all play together and they just added a bunch of new SIVs today so that I have to check those out. But oblivion,

like it, there's something about single player games that aren't in the vein you play, which is like unbelievably taxing and difficult that I really like. Like some of the most fun of oblivion is just sometimes being like, you know what? I'm lowering the difficulty from expert to adept because I just want to slay for the next few minutes. I'm going to tear through this fucking cavern.

I'm not going to force myself to use my most effective spells. I'm going to use kind of the goofy fun ones that I've made that I can get away with at this difficulty level that would just wouldn't be effective enough to work on expert. And that's just fun. And you don't get a feeling of like disappointment or annoyance because it's like it's a single player game. Oh, you cheesed a little bit in your single player game by by making yourself so fast that the games dropping frames. Who cares? Like if there were people hanging out in the game, that would be really gay. But there's not.

I'll tell you where I cheat. I made a bunch of Varla stones. And I just use those. I typed in the console command. And install a mod you just typed in gimme stones yeah yeah I want the stones wait the varla stones recharge all the magic in your inventory right yeah it takes away this tedious part of the game where you go around and collect souls from animals to make your sword do lightning damage it's like no no just make it do it I Don't I don't care about that feature of the game where I'm slow mice your weapon has been depleted fuck I alright well let me go hit a bunch of crabs and people and steal their souls I just want to click a button instantly recharge that bitch and get back to fighting so I just made a bunch of borrower stones

I got 2030 of them in my inventory. I don't they weigh anything. I also Glitched my weight I did this glitch where you make yourself weigh negative, like 150 pounds. I did 150. That seemed fair. Because I was tired of just, I don't want to use feather and I don't want to use ease burden or any of those spells. I want to use damage stuff.

So just make them be able to carry shit. You move faster with feather. Like it doesn't just move fast. Like my speed is shit. You move faster with feather. Like it, it doesn't want to move fast. Like my speed is 42. I think speed ruins speed. You keep going on about this speed. It ruins the game. If I could make my speed 10, I would.

No, my speed is 100 and I use my spells to get it up to 200 plus. And I'm zooming. I've stopped fast traveling. I'll look at the top and it'll say my next objective is like 4200 yards away or whatever, which is 100% of fast travelable distance. Oh, that's a long way in the wilderness. That's like most of the way across the map. And I'm like, no, this was the whole point of this. I'm I'm flying. He's like, he's like, I'm jumping over entire entire buildings. It's I don't know why you don't like the speed aspect.

It's like, what are we playing anymore? That's why I quit back in 2006 because my character was so fast that he was just running everywhere. And it's when you go into a town and now you just want to casually walk down the street and blend in with humanity. And every time you bump the joystick forward, your guy takes 20 steps forward at the speed of light. It's just like, all right, I can't move around inside houses effectively anymore because every the smallest input crashes me into the wall at 50 miles per hour. You're just a pinball in a house like trying to loot. I've been thinking about it.

I haven't said anything. I don't think it ruins the game. If that's how you want to spec up and level your character, it's a single player game you knock yourself out. However, I think my suspicion is it has ruined every other playthrough of that game for Taylor. I can't imagine after having that kind of speed and convenience to going like, all right, this time we're doing a sword and board thing

where I hit really hard or I'm really charismatic. And you're gonna be like, this is slow motion. This is not the game I like. Thankfully, the way it levels up is anytime you sprint, you're leveling your athletics and speed, you do have to opt into putting points in there. But I've thought about literally what you said where no matter what character I play in the future, even if it's a stealthy guy, like I'm going to have to have good speed because I can't go back.

I'm like if it's like if I ever flew first class, I couldn't go back. I wanted to be slower. Did you ever float first class? No. Yeah, you're right. I can't believe you're doing that. I feel like that monk who never saw a woman his whole life. Basically, the straightest man ever.

I saw it in the Orthodox Monks, in his long beard. Were there core memories? Sorry, Kyle. I haven't seen it, but it's the Pixar kids movie, right? Yeah, yeah. It's really good. I think you might enjoy it. Kyle didn't like it. I really like it. I don't seen it but I it's the Pixar kids movie, right? Yeah. Yeah, it's really good I think you might have gotten like it. I really like those movies I I wasn't sure if I'd seen it at first but but you said Pixar and I knew it hadn't Even though I know it's not your cup of tea

It's one of the greatest in the genre and you might like it even though it's not a fit for you back on time It has this concept of core memories core memories that like form who you are One of my core memories is sitting in first class, while my boss at Cisco walked past me to coach. And I'm like, Yeah, this is good. This is good. He's like, he saw me, we weren't flying together. I just I was doing a YouTube thing. And my old boss walked past me to coach. And I'm like, Ah, the students are past as the teacher. Let me know if he wants a peanuts. I've got the hookup, bitch. Do you need a blanket?

I'm flush with them. I want me to do these neck pillows. What do I do with these headphones? They just give them out here. Just give them out. Send it back. I didn't ask for these yet. Give me a Bloody Mary so I can send it back.

So I can pour it out. I'm sorry, Kyle, what did I interrupt? I don't think anything. Okay, good, good. Yeah. I don't remember anything. But my character when he's in sneak is like as fast as a sprinting Skyrim character. I am so sneaky.

Well, actually that's not true. I'm not very sneaky. I didn't level up sneak much at all. My guy's bumping into shit. Your foot speed should be separate from your hand speed because I like the idea of being quick with a dagger and like stabbing somebody 12 times in a second. Just like jabbing them up with it because the dagger like combo that your guy throws looks cool. He does a whole thing with the dagger and stabs the enemy three or four times,

but I don't wanna run around that fast. That ruins the game. Being able to jump off those mountains ruins the game for me. Even the horse is too fast. I wanna jog. I wanna slowly experience the environment as I run through it.

I'm not slow by any means. I'm as fast as a deer. I can imagine only being as fast run through it. I'm not slow by any means. I'm as fast as a deer. Wow. I can't imagine only being as fast as a deer. Like I change the time. Sometimes I'll let like there's these couriers on the road where they'll stop and be like extra, extra bandits in super soft like the region. And they give you a little note and then they ride on. And sometimes I'll like wait until they're

little note and then they ride on and sometimes I'll like wait until they're like almost out of view over a hill and then cast my speed and then see how fast I can catch them. Never even, never even an effort. I can sprint so fast behind them and then just jump. And now I'm, you know, 20 feet over the, you're right. And that it is not in the spirit of the game. How fast I'm going at all. In the game. But it's in the game. See, you didn't install a mod.

You just leveled up your speed. It's all good. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's very fun. I understand you're playing the way you want to, but it seems like the way you're playing lends itself more to Archer than Sword and Board because I'm like Sword and Board and Magic also. And I feel like speed makes sense the way I'm running it. Like I want to be able to jump in,

hit back up pretty quickly. They miss me, jump back in. This game doesn't stop you from leveling up. Like, no, mine does. Mine's like, oh, do you think you could just farm your way to having competence? No, you need to finish this mission as an asshole before we let you become slightly better. And I'm like, fuck, it's so hard to win.

You can cheese every stat in this game. If you want to be a god at level one, you can you can be a level one character who has all their stats maxed out. Yeah, because you just haven't taken a nap yet. You could stand in a corner, you could find a low doorway and jump so your head hits the top of it and then wedge yourself in there just right. And then you jump and you go,

brrrr, brrrr, and each of those jumps counts toward acrobatics or whatever. And so you're just slow, rap, not slowly, rapidly level two, level three, level four, level five, level six, level seven. And at the 25 multiple of each one, you get big bones is 25, 50, 75, 100. Like you said, it's 75 athleticism, you can jump across the water like Legolas just as long as you time it right. Although I learned that when you run out of stamina,

you fall face first in the water and drown, I think. What? Yeah, so don't run out of stamina while you're hip hopping across the water. I won't. My game has 14 different weapons or something and each of them has their own skill tree. So if you invest 20 hours into learning some weapon and then you're into the game, want to try another weapon, which I do,

well now that weapon is incapable of doing anything good or useful. I like that now. Until you invest in that one. See, I like that. Okay, there's more. Well, as you use that weapon, you get familiarity with it, which is the term that makes it a little bit harder.

But now you have familiarity with some level nine weapon, but along the way you've collected a level 12 weapon. But you're not familiar with that one. That one's worse in your hands than your old one. At some point, you're going to have to cut bait and go to a new weapon, even though it's worse, because the potential for it is higher. You are constantly being punished in this game.

And we're going to do that for the rest of your life, because there's 14 different weapons in 14 different varieties of all 14 different weapons and they level up constantly. I'm like fucking fuck. Is it a Japanese game or a Chinese game? Japanese. Okay. The bad translations seem to me that would add to the game like that would be funnier for me. It's hindering my ability to learn it. Like I don't know what you're saying. I don't know.

A quarter of the words are not English and the two thirds that like the other three quarters, they're just like, did you let a machine translate this? Is there a native English speaker involved in this at all? Well done. You must attune sword for success. And it's like, what, what? You must attune sword for success. What could he mean? All right. None of the numbers are changing when I'm attuning.

If there was a 16 that went to a 17 here, I would know what my attuning was doing. The blacksmith is so complicated. I had to watch 40 minutes of tutorial videos to get my arms around how to use the blacksmith to craft new shit for me. I like that too. Do you? What I'm gonna hate is your combat though.

I bet it's hard as fuck. Oh. Like I- You have to hit the enemy about 130 times to get a kill. And if you get hit twice, you're dead. Yeah. Let's go. Dude, for a while in oblivion,

the way you rank up heavy armor is by getting hit. And so for a huge part of the game, I was not blocking with my shield at all. And if there were like a bunch of guys in the dungeon, I'd be like, all right, we're turning it down to adapt. And I'm going to be a beat toy for a little bit here. I'm going to take a lot of blows. And then it'd be like, your heavy armor has increased to 78. It's like, yes, you just have to like let yourself, because you can't even level up your heavy armor on expert because those fuckers hit like trucks. And so it's like you you'll die if you just stand there and let them hit you. I can't, I didn't even turn it to legendary. If expert is where it is, as far as difficulty legendary

must be impossible. It must be a impossible. You turned into a Sesame Street character there for a little. I had a little gurgle in the throat, sorry. Poor Sesame Street, their funding's getting cut, all of PBS. I don't know if you guys looked at the new proposed budget from the Trump administration. It's interesting, I watched a YouTube channel

with an hour long video, break down the defense spending that's proposed and what that sort of means or What you can? What you can take from the budget? and what the budget suggests for what the United States thinks are going to be the the the enemies going forward in the conflicts and in the near to Far future like what they're preparing for essentially where the spending is going. So that was interesting. I think they increased the military spending by $150 billion.

Russia, who's on a war footing, spent like $75 billion last year. So we doubled that and increased, on top of what we already do. Did you see Hegseth is firing eight generals? I saw someone break that down. That sounds like it makes sense. This guy was saying that the military sort of, he's like to be a general should be an incredible feat. You should have done something to earn that. What we have right now is a waiting line for people to get promoted. And they just get shuffled in and shuffled out.

As he said, when he was fighting in Afghanistan, we would have a new guy come in, capture a hill, then he'd get shuffled out because now he can get his promotion. He's a war hero. And then the next guy wouldn't care about the hill. So he'd let the enemy have the hill back and he'd get his promotion.

He gets shuffled out so he can be a general. Then the new guy would come in and he would take the hill again And it's like we're fighting and dying for these like patches of sand so these guys can get badges So he made it sound like cutting 20% of the generals made sense because maybe it's not real general Here's my problem though. Hegseth said We have too many generals. We should take that money and redistribute it amongst all the enlisted men. And I was like, this is just an obvious lie, right?

You're not firing eight generals to fix the military budget so that we can pay enlisted men higher. Just tell me the truth. Tell me why you're really doing it. Are they disloyal in some way? Are they incompetent? Do you think that we're too top heavy? Divya truth.

Don't say we're gonna take those eight salaries and distribute it amongst all the enlisted men. What are they each get 50 cents? Is that what we're doing? A 50 cent a year raise for everybody? If that, yeah. Right, one penny. And maybe generals make a lot, I don't know.

I don't know. It wouldn't matter anyway because there's like a million enlisted people or something crazy. I saw that that one dude, Waltz, they fired his ass out of the administration. He was the kind of Iran war hawk. So I saw that and I liked that. He's the guy who set up the signal chat that included the reporter, right? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So they made him an ambassador to the UN, I think. If it's not that job,

then it's something really close to that. Oh, okay. Well, whatever gets him further away from pressuring for war with Iran, because that was one of his big penny issues, was like, you know, it's a great sunny day, we should go to war with Iran. It's like, shut up.

That's all you ever want to talk about, dude. All you want to do is go to war with Iran. Enough's like, shut up. That's all you ever want to talk about, dude. All you want to do is go to war with Iran. Enough. Did you see that India attacked Pakistan? Yeah. How big a deal was it? Like, I don't know. Medium.

It's something new. Like, they had, at first I was like, OK, India and Pakistan are constantly skirmishing. Is this, you know, year of the shark, right, where we just make a big deal out of a really common event. And then chat started posting in like, well, it was a coordinated attack using satellites and drones and this, that they hit nine sites simultaneously

and developed all this infrastructure. It was not your everyday skirmish. It was what could start a war. So these are both nuclear states. I think Pakistan shot down two Indian aircraft, or at least they're saying they did. So yeah, while they were attacking them or like is that instigating the attack? Did the question make sense? Yeah, there are two confirmed aircraft of the Indian Air Force have already been shot down. Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif,

spokesman for the Pakistani military told CNN's Jim, there are other reports of multiple damages that the Pakistani forces both on ground and air have inflicted but I can confirm to you that at least two aircraft of the Indian Air Force have been downed which you know shot out of the air. Yeah so it sounds like they were defending themselves from the Indian attack not provoking it okay know those two guys have hated each other forever. Well, they say they're dismantling terrorist infrastructure that's located in Pakistan. And obviously they had that big terror attack last year that was our last week or last month or whatever it was

recently that was came out of Pakistan, India. So probably true. But yeah, two nuclear powers that just despise each other I saw some number about how much of the the Indian There they're like their CIA whatever they're called the Indian version of the CIA how much of their efforts are spent toward Pakistan They're like 80% 8% is there is focused on their neighbor right next door that they despise. So That's a it's not a good situation, having those two nuclear powers right next to each other who hate each other.

They have those border crossings with the mustachioed bad asses do it, stomping around and everything. I wish they would restrain their hate to that. And maybe- Boarder crossing or boarding or like show the border guards. The show thing they do. It's the mustache part that had me like, they close the border every day.

And they have like a ceremony on each side where they have like those big, tough, ridiculous looking guys stomp around and like try to intimidate each other. Do a little like, like blue man group performance. That's more like a hot black thing and that I thought they did more clapping and jumping and acrobatics. This to me, every military is absolutely silly, except our own, of course, right?

We spin around our toy guns, and I literally mean toy guns, right? Like the color guard thing. And like, I don't know, we're supposed, I was- Those aren't real guns? I don't think they fired. They look like they're from the Revolutionary War. I was real.

They better at least work. There's certainly not a current guns that we would like give to something. These imports, I think he's in 14 or something. Am I wrong? I never would in M14. That's right. I mean, it is a very cool thing if those are real guns, even if they're old ass guns, as long as they're real. M1 Garand, the Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon executes a series of calculated drill movements

and precise handling, 10 and one half pound M1 Garand rifles with fixed bayonets. Are they functional, I wonder? Is it called Color Guard? What is that? The Silent Drill Platoon is what I'm reading about here. I don't know. There's a lot of different guys who spin rifles though.

And the M1 Garand is not the only rifle used by the Marine Corps. It also, okay. That's not what I asked, Google. No, the rifles of the silent drill platoon are not functional in the sense that they could fire ammunition. They are demilitarized, meaning they have been rendered

incapable of firing a bullet. Who's that? in the sense that they could fire ammunition. They are demilitarized, meaning they have been rendered incapable of firing a bullet. Who's that? It is, this is Google telling me. I don't know, who's the people that we're talking about? The silent drill platoon. I put them in the search. So I always thought it was really silly.

It doesn't look tough to me, but it is normalized to me because I've seen it my whole life. It's a pageantry show for like, I don't know, ambassadors and secretary of state, which to me is like false God worship type stuff. It is really vibes wrong with me, but I seem to be the only one who thinks that.

But when I see it, I'm like, all right, this is a stupid US thing. When I see other people do their stupid things, marching with their duck walks or their, you know, their military customs seem even dumber to me because they're not normalized. The only ones that seem stupid to me is the Hakka. When those guys, when those stupid tribal people

bug their eyes out, because now in like modern day, it'll be like a vet clinic and like all the fat women there are doing the haka for a dog who's getting put down or something like he was a warrior in life so we're giving him a haka send off it's like stop bulging your eyes out you insufferable weirdo what's wrong with you um i hate that that's that's lame as shit the the rifle spinning i i thought everybody did that shit i thought that was just about drills and I thought it was like a continuation of normal rifle and

Marching drills that they would do but just like I see it as trans dudes who wish they were cheerleaders Well hear that Marine Corps Military is notoriously straight. Have you not heard of the Navy? Come on, man. Well, the Navy actually are there part of the Navy, aren't they? The Supreme Court just signed off on Trump, excluding trans people from the military I saw.

And then on top of that we get Alcatraz back so it's been a good week. What are we gonna do with Alcatraz? First of all it will be referred to as the rock with a Sean Connery accent going forward. Alcatraz is a very cool name it needs to stay. The Rock? He literally said something like he's always loved the movies. He should have been movies. Yes. I love the movie. Dude, he's doing kind of shit. I would do. Yeah. And he's like, yeah, we want to bring Alcatraz back. It was a great movie. I'm paraphrasing at this point. There was the Clint Eastwood movie and then there's obviously The Rock with with Nicholas

Cage and Sean Connery and a bunch of other people. Yeah, I don't think it's even a big prison, like in the world of prisons, like it's not even a gigantic one, right? It's just known, like, because of how aesthetically unique it is, like on a rock out there. It's on an island and that scary little little piece of water, I don't know how big it is. They're gonna have to completely Remake it though that they the one of the reasons it was closed was because the salt water corrodes everything It was three times more expensive to operate than a regular prison mostly Well, the thing I read it said because it was on an island I don't know if that means the lack of bridge makes it difficult to operate or the corrosion or everything above. They've got to use boats to get everything to

and from the island. You would imagine, you know, all the supplies and the food. I'm sure there's underwater cabling for electricity and such, but I'm sure there's a number of challenges that being on that fucking island presents. Why would he want that? Like that's got to be subterfuge. That's got to be one of his like, look at this. And now for my next trick and his beautiful assistant happens to be bending over to get something out of a box while he like palms the blade. Like that's what happens right now. He's like, ah, and for my next trick, look at Alcatraz over there. The Rockers they call it. Love those movies as he like has another Saudi sent him a hundred billion in crypto so that they can have his you saw that right where the top 220 or something like that doesn't matter the top donators or buyers of his crypto coin are getting like all this insider treatment you're like coming to a VIP night at the White House for a private dinner with the president and this and that, it sounds like a sweepstakes.

It sounds like sweepstakes. It does the honest crook thing and it works for some people. I'm not being honest about this. Other than he's doing your face. Yeah, yeah. I'm not hiding the fact that I'm stealing from you. I'm not hiding from the fact that I am taking donations.

Listen, anyone who has $5 million, or it might've been $1 million, $1 million I'll have dinner with you. $1 million donation. Five to be a citizen. Yeah, five to be a citizen, we'll streamline you right in. $1 million for dinner with me personally, I keep that money.

And it's not even pretending it's like a reelection campaign or anything. You just give me a million dollars and I'll have dinner with you. And it's like, how are you not openly accepting bribes? Oh, I am openly accepting bribes, but because it's so open, it circles back around the crypto thing. You should at least have a decent.

You have any billions of dollars the Trump family has made out of crypto in the last two years, it's like $15 billion. It makes any Pelosi stock look like child's play. 15 Billy and they pump and dump the stock market on a bi-monthly basis. Yes, I mean, it's so wildly corrupt. And I feel like some sort of Trump derangement syndrome moron when I point out what's clearly happening in the broad daylight. No, the rock is Trump derangement, like being like, how dare they waste this money on a

prick? No, no, no. That's the fucking that's the that's the girl bent over so you can see a little more ass than you should while he palms the blade for the next trick. Do the next trick is that crypto thing. That crypto thing is real cash money coming his way. And who knows what he's giving back, but he doesn't really have to give anything back. It's just cash money coming his way. That whole thing about I think it's the top 220, but there's brackets. It's like a sweepstakes that like, like I remember we had to sell candy in school to get all these prizes. And it's like, oh, and if you were to sell a ton of candy, we'd send you to Disney World. It's oh shit, maybe I could sell a ton of candy.

But the difference lies. These people are you could you can see which wallets you're not individuals, but which wallets or whatever are buying or the these big chunks of crypto right after he made that announcement. It was like a couple hundred million went in, you know, it's just like he tweeted and someone bought a couple hundred million dollars worth of his meme coin. And they expected to get a meeting with him at the White House and a dinner or something. For some reason, they think that meeting is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. $100 million for a meeting? Yeah. This is crazy. You can see what is the coin. You can see it.

It's all there. It's all public. It's all in your face. And you know it's not the money they're paying for, right? It's whatever the result of that meeting is. I remember Hillary got 650,000, if that number's not right, it's 600 and something thousand for her speech. And that's bad. But for me, what really sunk it as bad was that they were happy, repeat customers,

and they gave her another 650,000 for a second speech. I'm like, someone got their money's worth. Someone thought that, I've seen her speak. She's not that good, right? You could have had Bill Burr for a hundred grand, but they did, but they made six times that to get Hillary. It wasn't really the speech, right? The speeches are that big a banger.

They're paying Trump a hundred million dollars. What are they getting? Hopefully not war in Iran. That would be now. Now to be fair, they're also investing in his coin, which you know, the value is going up. It's, it's fluctuated greatly. It's, it's not, it's all time low right now. It's doing better than it was. What is it called? How do you check it? Like, where do you go? sign trump? I think Mm-hmm Would that not just go to his like main company shit. It goes to the meme coin dollar sign trump Okay

That that he uh, or his main one. They've got several. I mean we've joked about milania coin, but I bet there's coins for all of them It's so silly This is fine. I googled it clicked on the top article. It's so silly. This is fine. I Googled it, clicked on the top article. It's two hours old. 58 wallets have made over $10 million each. 764,000 wallets, mostly small holders have lost money. This is being coins in a nutshell. 764,000 losers and 58 winners.

Yeah. Yeah. This is why it seems like. But don't get lost in the subterfuge of a meme coin. Like, like you need to focus on that. That, that did they lose it or did they buy something? Like it's, it's two things at once. Not only is it a way for people to pump money. Oh, I read the same article you do.

I understand. I know that as a meme coin, that minority of large holders have profited while there's three quarters of a million smaller holders that have lost money and that's where the money went. But I also think that like aside from the crookedness of just any meme coin, pick one, there's also this thing going on

where they are paying for presidential access and trying to cover Curry favors with the administration by being an investor. So you could go, you would probably be a happy businessman to go and brag to Trump, I lost 50 million in there, 50 million of that, I lost it. I wonder where I can find it again. Maybe, maybe my missiles need to be on every stealth fighter that my

cup that they make in my state, by the way, or they make it with my company or I know you buy our Navy cup holders only $2,000 apiece this year. Big saving. I'm all for the Navy cup holders, man. That's I got a soft spot for military spinning. Let's make it happen. I like seeing stuff blow up. No, it's cool when they spend money on cool stuff. It's not cool when they're like spending $180 per piece of scotch tape to like hold up a calendar. That's fair. You like awesome weapon systems, not $8,000 washers.

And by washers, I don't mean the cleaner. I mean this little circular thing. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.ers, I don't mean the cleaner and I mean this little circular Yeah, I don't know the I Saw that we were behind on submarine building there. They're talking about how many submarines they've got to build It's a lot I think but it's like 25 more expensive submarines in the next 25 years or something like that. It's a ton They all they're always building aircraft carriers. There's a neat there's another one coming off the line in a year or two.

Well, those things cost like six. I got it. I got a crazy. So big. I don't understand them. Like it, like it has to be like a hundred. No, not a hundred. But whoever made million billion and trillion rhyme made a huge mistake. 13 billion a piece. 13 billion. That's actually somehow cheaper than I thought it was gonna be.

Like I thought it was gonna be like 50 billion dollars. Not that bad. I guess we need to really, really invest. Honestly, if you had said a billion, I think it was a lot. And if you had said a billion, I think it was a lot. And if you had said 350 billion, I think that was also an unimaginable amount of money. Yeah. Yeah.

It's expensive. I, I, I, if anybody cares, I'm watching a documentary on a Netflix about Vietnam. It's the new one. It'll be on the like the brand new page of stuff. It's real good. The first episode was like how we got in there and how the politics on the ground were and all the shit JFK did and all the stuff McNamara did and all the lies, the Gulf of Tonkin was featured.

Was JFK good or bad? Bad and they don't know if he was going to get better but all signs were pointing toward things were going to continue to go bad. There is that 1122, 63 alternate history where he sees the light and he pulls all the combat troops out, but that's not the direction things were going,

according to everybody who was in this documentary and sort of like what he was doing as far as upping the amounts of advisors, upping the amounts of troops, upping the amounts of troops, how he was reacting to things. He and we were integral in the coup that took out the president of South Korea. There's audio tapes

because JFK was recording all these conversations. He's like, we at least bear some of the blame for the loss of the president Being as we did suggest it in august And it's like, whoa, did you just say that You bear a great deal of the blame because it was your idea Yeah All the blame you did everything but put the knife in him, you know And that's what they did

They stabbed and shot the president replaced him and. And then after that, there was this chain of new presidents every couple of years, revolving door of generals taking over, thinking they could beat the North, and they couldn't. It's hard to make sense of stuff sometimes. Like, the negotiating position is, I want you to think that I'm very serious about spending my people in there,

devoting the entire force of America to Vietnam. Like, I need you to think that and to believe it. So that means I'm gonna put people in there, devoting the entire force of America to Vietnam. Like I need you to think that and to believe it. So that means I'm gonna put ships over there, people over there, ambassadors on. Like I'm doing all these things that make it look like I'm preparing for war, regardless of what my true intent is. And I see that now in the tariff war,

the economic war that we're waging now. Trump is like, 145%, we might go to 300%. It doesn't really matter. we're gonna keep going, we're never gonna stop, we're never gonna quit, et cetera. Because if I tell you, maybe in about 10 days I'm gonna blink, then I've just crippled myself, crippled my ability to win. So anyway, I hear JFK's gonna do it, and I think,

well, all signs point to that, but you'd want all signs to point to that, regardless of your intent. Yeah, they look bad. And then Lyndon Johnson takes over, obviously after JFK is assassinated. And he's stupid. He's not stupid, but he's not a genius. And he's surrounded by geniuses.

He even talked about, he kept all of JFK's advisors. He's like, these are the best minds in the world. And I graduated from a teacher's college from Texas. So he kept them all in there. And McNamara and everybody else played him like a book. He recorded as well. He recorded his conversations. And the Gulf of Tonkin thing is this silly mix-up where they sent three missile boats

out. The North Vietnamese did, sent three missile boats out and got into a scuffle with one of our boats. We destroyed one of them and damaged the other two. They ran away and that was that. And we blew that out of proportion until the Vietnam War happened. Toby just lost his shit, sprinted out of the room. You talking about persuasive advisors?

John Bolton must be magic in person. On TV, he doesn't do it. You. John Bolton must be magic in person. On TV, he doesn't do it. You know John Bolton. You're a live eater. I watched the 60 minutes. Mustache guy. Yeah, he's a mustache guy is what I was gonna say. It seems like every Republic administration hires him.

Every Republic administration walks away going, whoa, that dude really loves war. That guy, he's all about starting wars. But somehow they keep listening to him. He keeps becoming like a really key advisor. Not now. I think Trump is in the fool me once philosophy. I watched this last night. It's a 40 minute interview with John Bolton with 60 Minutes Australia. It's pretty good. He describes what it's like working with Donald Trump and what Trump is like. And it's it's pretty good.

I didn't feel like he was overly bitter. They asked him was like, is the reason you're doing this interview because and Trump took away your security clearances and your Secret Service protection. He's like, well, I've made other arrangements obviously because the threats from Iran are very real, just as they are for President Trump, because of our intermingling during his administration. However, I've been saying these things about Trump

before he took away my clearance and my protection, and I'm gonna continue to say them with the exact same amount of intensity and veracity, because this is what happened. And it's like, that guy's good at talking. I want, I put it in my watch later list. We'll check it out. Yeah, it's good. I mean, I do have a lot to figure out how to attune a soul core. So I need to be I would think like I use chat GPT for so much now things like recipes and like little like like, hey, I know that this is like

that. But why is it like that? Like things that I don't literally understand, like the core concepts under, like some of the science videos I watch, I'm like, all right, so explain the electron spin to me one more time so I understand it. No, no, no, so I understand it, not like last time. What do you mean they're not really spinning?

But Chad, are you ready to rap for that? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm super duper hungry. All right, PKN 559.
