Painkiller Already - PKN 579

Episode Date: September 24, 2025

P.K.N. 579. What's up, boys? How's it going? How's it going? Life flashed before my eyes today. Tell me more. I was doing a little laundry and I grabbed this comforter that had been sitting on the couch. It started to smell like dog. And I threw it down the stairs toward the laundry room. There's carpet on those stairs.

And it kind of made it three quarters of the way down. A little of it still draped on the stairs. And like, I know in my mind that that makes it for an incredibly slippery and precarious scenario when there's a slick sort of velvety comforter and they can move on itself almost exactly yeah but i stepped on down those stairs into the darkness nonetheless and my feet shot out from under me and i fell in the air down six or seven stairs like i didn't just fall down and go blibbblah blubbblub i like home alone you slipped like a cartoon like marv getting hit with a paint bucket came down the staircase and like grabbed the railing with my hand as I was flying through the air but like landed

hard on my like lower back like at the bottom and just laid there for a good 10 seconds in excruciating pain and like wiggling it was like a cop who just been in a gunfight I'm like nothing's broken nothing's broken was there anyone else at home oh just the dogs just the dogs but I had just fed them a delicious dinner and so nobody came to check on me They were all munching down. Like, they heard me fall. They heard me scream. But they had things to do.

They were eating their bit. Their kibbles and bit. That's low. They should have come to check on you. I felt a little bad. At least, Kobe should have. A cat would have checked on the body.

Yeah, you would have seen. Yeah, different reason. Yeah, different reason. They eat the lips. They had the lips first. So any lingering injuries, pains, aches?

I got a hell of a headache. Like, it's, like, I'm out of Advil. What day was this? Today. Oh, it was super recent then. Four, five hours, maybe 11 a.m. You know, the time's a little loopy since the head of-in. You give them dinner at 2 p.m. Okay.

So I feed them twice a day. I feed them once at 11.30 a.m. and again, at 11.30 p.m. Okay. That's, okay. That way we get more poop in the house. Yeah. I always want to be on call. That's the thing. Why, you know, what's the, I thought you put the memory. That thing's on like the kind of like the way I eat.

With our breakfast and with our dinner. So pick those times, 9, 10 and 6 p.m. That's what I've always done with dogs too. It's just easier to remember like, oh yeah, I'm eating. And then they're not full of like poop or pee or whatever at bedtime.

Although your bedtime, you might have bedtime or different things. Right after I said that, that although was about to shift to that thought. Like yeah, Kyle actually might have a different sleep schedule. Did you bang your head? I don't know.

I don't think I did. I really hurt the bottom of my lower back. Like I slammed the bottom of my like coxic pelvis, I guess, the back of it, like lower back above my ass. Like that slammed right into something so hard. I just laid there, patted myself down for injuries. These are carpeted stairs. The stairs are carpeted, but it's hardwood at the bottom of them. And it's hardwood everywhere else.

and and I just laid there and just went. That happened to me in public once. When you go to a paramotor event, everybody breaks. So the paramotor events often held at airports. If not, then some other giant field. The airport is the normal thing. And it just makes traveling around a bit of a pain in the ass. If you've never walked through the grass on an airport, things are fucking three quarters of a mile long.

So everyone brings their various like electric last mile solutions. I have a one wheel. I have a skateboard. Other people have like one wheeled unicycles, this, that. And we're all trading like, oh, how's that one work? Oh, this one needs a remote. I like to have my hands free, whatever. And I hop on some guys, it's like a skateboard, except you go what to me is sideways.

Like, you know, you don't travel on the pointy side. You travel towards the wide side. And somehow I hop on this. thing and I guess I leaned the I don't know how what I did exactly but that thing zoomed out it didn't it wasn't like it was off it just starts motoring away from me both feet go up in the air like Lucy just pulled the football away or something and I land flat on my back on concrete and everyone is like whoa that looked bad and I'm like it wasn't bad it's so upset successfully. Someone, just someone check

on the ground. Is it okay? Exactly. Right there. There's a real hard spot. I pop up and I'm like, I'm moving gingerly acting like this is just how people move. And I was like it, it stayed with me for a while. Are you embarrassed that all the people saw you take eat shit? Yes. Yeah, I was very embarrassed. I got one better. It's embarrassing. in public. It's so

so humbling. I was at Shot Show in Vegas and Kitty was in her wheelchair and she just had gotten this new like electric attachment for her fancy-ass wheelchair and it's like an electric motor that clips on to the back

I've seen it. It adds another set of wheels and pushes maybe. Just one wheel. It's like a it's one wheel that's on this thing and that bolts on to the bar between the wheels. What do you call that the fucking the bar between wheels you know you got two wheels and then a bar

between the axle the axle I think I did hit my head on the way down what you know what you're supposed to do and you hit your head to take a nice nap I did I woke up when it was hurting more they said that's the thing

about concussion you got to sleep it away he's like yeah I did as if that's what I slept like the dead And anyway, this, I don't remember how this thing was controlled. And it was fucking, maybe there was a little hand attachment or something. But anyway, we're in a giant auditorium full of people.

And all of a sudden, it goes rogue. It goes, and she takes off away from me. And I'm like, but wait, no, I sort of reach off like a cartoon character. Like, no. And she's gone, going like 15 miles an hour, right into a table, foot, covered with shit table flips over chair flips over she's in the floor all the shit on the table's in the floor the crowd has gathered around and for a brief moment i was like let's get the fuck out of here i almost left her almost left her but i went scooped her up and put her back in the

fucking chair but it was just like oh she fell out oh a complete crash like like she was moving when she hit that table but what was on the table was it all kinds of hard gun things guns i remember brochures like it was like the entrance to an auditorium they They're, like, split between genres. There's, like, hunting and fishing, and then there's, like, tactical. And it was, like, covered with brochures and, like, everyone's, like, informational booklets and stuff for what you were about to see when you went through these big doors.

That's good. There's almost everything I can think of right now about guns can double as a hammer. What do you got? Yeah, buttstocks, you got barrels, you got magazines, like, everything's, you wouldn't want to crash into a table of hammers. Yeah. did the people look at you like you were a bad guy like wow look at that guy he's clearly supposed to be keeping an eye on her he just I wasn't responsible for that malfunctioning

used to the hardware like any idea no I did she continue to use it she did she did continue to use it it was fine after that she was in a prototype phase with the company that made it and she was sort of working with them almost as a product tester in sort of a way because that the wheel itself was thousands of dollars. And so they were like, yeah, use our $3,800 little wheel on your thing and let us know how it goes.

And she was like, we're poorly. A little too quick. So she took that, they took that information and went back to the drawing boards a little bit, I think. I'm really curious about the wheel. Did she have like a joystick that made it go? I think so. I think there was some, or maybe

there was a thing under her foot I'm having you know I didn't I didn't play with when I was a kid wheelchairs were cool I always whenever I had the option to get in one I want to pop wheelies in and stuff were you good at it I did that oh yeah loved it we would always there was a wheelchair kid Heather her dad was a dentist piece of shit

and she was all stove up she had like real bad at arthritis don't get them started on pediatrist people and then we would always get in a chair and fuck around and get in trouble because we'd be popping wheelies and she'd be like yay like clap for us when we see who could keep wheelie up the longest? I remember like occasionally going somewhere and there would be wheelchairs about when I was a young kid and like I wanted to sit in the wheelchair and then like wheel around the grocery

store with my mom and she'd always be like, Taylor, get out of that chair. And I didn't understand like that it could be seen as rude to let like a six year old play in a wheelchair when there are real crippled people out there that might need it. but I just remember her like I remember thinking like who is this hurting mom this isn't hurting anyone more than me running up and down the aisles taking coupons from those automatic things that would feed coupons out and like I'd pretend I'd be like I'm helping in the shopping process but I never I never was it was like like hamburger helper yeah when we'd go to uh like maybe it was a sams club or a Publix or something when Publix was new they used to have samples like they used to have samples like they used to have like three or four different girls in publics giving out like cheese on tooth figs and fucking pretzels and stuff and when we would go there it was just a kid in a candy store I was just running around grab funds and eating cheese that was great yeah samples used to be a bigger thing you weren't bad enough kids I was not invited to go shopping with my mom

you can stay at home asshole I wasn't that bad I did have a habit of like if I asked my mom for like can we have cheese it's and like I was young enough to be sitting in the cart she'd be like no but if she ever turned around I would like throw what I wanted in the cart if it was within arm's reach and so like it would happen where she'd get up to the checkout and she'd start doing it and in my head I'm like don't notice it you don't bitch don't notice and then she would always notice it 100% of the time she'd be like Taylor did you put four boxes of cheese it's in here no I've been grabbing coupons I don't know who did that I've got a coupon for him if you want to

I wish I knew someone who like cheese it's I'd look there first I would put stuff under the cart you know that little shelf underneath for like usually maybe maybe through dog food I remember I put like some hot wheels that came with the whole cart the like a track and everything under there like his big like probably $45 in the 90s toy or something not only did my dad not see it Walmart didn't notice it he must have felt like a king wheeling out to the car I absolutely felt like a king

wheeled out of the car I got out of the car and they were like huh well hot wheels it is when we were I can't go back in there they'd think I'm a thief yeah we can't go back when we were underage for drinking

I remember I had a friend who worked at a grocery store like returning carts and semi regularly he'd just show up with like very expensive giant bottles of booze. And one time I was like, where are you getting these? And he's like from a grocery store job. And I'm like, oh, you're probably like waiting tactically and then doing this and that and sneaking it out. Maybe grabbing one early in your shift, hiding it somewhere. And then grabbing it at the end. And he's like, no, no, I take my apron off and then I steal. And I was like,

damn, John, you're ice cold. Just clearly a 16 year old walking around just stealing. dude it was so hard to get to get one of those guys to steal us a copy of modern warfare three or whatever back in the day i'll never understand that it's petty theft you know like it's not a big deal and i i you didn't have to steal just sell it earlier like yeah they could pay for it later if they thought that would you know reduce the risk like yeah it's like this is why you're working here you can't see the big picture buddy you like not entrepreneurial spirit like hunter Biden had I remember just peeling off hundreds one time and just be like, come on, man, look, it's just us here. Like, we're at GameStop.

I'm like, it's just us, man. It's just me, you, and that cardboard cut out of ghost. Yes. All right, Master Chief ain't going to wrap me out, all right? How about I give you $700 fucking right now and you just go get the thing? Just go get it. And look, I just need the disc. You keep the box, put a little posted on there, sell on December 21st, and do it, motherfucker.

With your $700. Yeah. Oh, I can't lose my job, man. What are you a senator? What the fuck are you talking about? It's like you're 17. The senator would have taken the money.

You could probably walk to another GameStop and get a job there. Like if you wanted, I doubt they have a ban list. GameStop is dying rapidly. Like who I just, every time I go there, it's like, or every time I walk there now,

it's like half of it is like collectibles and gaming accoutrema, not really like games anymore. I can't say that I go to GameStop or know what like have your first hand experience. But just from a distance, like I used to go there to buy games. Now I download everything. Even if it's more console, I download everything. So what is GameStop for?

But the boys on Reddit, worst source ever. I see, I hear you. But like there's a, you know, together Ape Strong making GameStop into a meme stock. Some people actually like their business model. they're doing something downloadable that I'm not sure about. And I'm like, am I wrong? Because their stock, I haven't looked at it for a while. We got tons of cash.

And they've been investing in Bitcoin. And they, like Taylor said, Taylor sort of made it seem like they were going out of business. But what they're doing is they're investing more of their floor space into collectibles. Like I bet they've got Funko pops and, uh, um, where they're trading cards and shit. Yeah, definitely lots of trading cards. Zach, can you pull up a five year chart on GameStop? To me, the answer is somewhere in. between like it's not at its like super peak but it's not garbage performance either it's

training up a little I would be surprised if it wasn't even beating inflation in terms of rise but it's not tanking like I expect games up to tank and go out of business because I haven't been there in ages and I used to be the kind of guy who'd make them money yeah I used to go there twice a month like I knew the guy like I can still picture that mole on his face he was a good guy. I would go in there all the time, like maybe three or four times a month. I went off enough. I'm sorry, you're still going, but I went often enough that I would, I'd be like, all right, I take one copy of call. No up sales, please. Hey, can I interest you? No up sales, please. Oh, but what about this? No up sales, please. Like, you're not, you're not getting anywhere

with this. Yeah, points program. You should have taken advantage. Dude, I remember renting cars. Like, the people would be like, no insurance or anything. And I would, would like straight up tell him quietly I'd be like the area manager is within like he can hear us and so I just have to say this stuff just say no and then just like they just like run through it and he'd be like oh are you sure yes and it's like all right let's get you the fuck out of here dude no there we go that is that logarithmic or something that's not what mine look like that's a five year or no what is that's a point two are really stock price here like what are we looking at yeah that's yeah the other game stop stock price I think no well um um um

Oh, it is logarithmic. That's the problem. That's all good. I'm not sure what that's going to be indicative of with all the weird stock manipulation and stuff that's going on. You know, like I wonder if they're closing or opening stores. I wonder about their revenue, you know, year to year. Like how much money's actually coming in the door. The stock price is going to be very, because of everything that's happened.

I don't think that's a good, good market. There's a couple. That one, AMC. Not to go political. Donald Trump's media company, like there are some stocks that aren't really based on their revenue or profits. Donald Trump? That's a bottle of autism this week.

Thank goodness. Right. Now we know. Now we know it's been the Tylenol all this time. AMC, I just checked because I was curious, it would be a terrible stock. Like it,

unlike, because it looks like GameStop is still way higher than it was before that like meme explosion. AMC is the opposite It's like worthless right now It's down almost 90% in the past five years Since that meme So like you're you're taking a bath

We can buy it up guys It's $2.92 per stock on AMC And it's a booming business AMC's movie theaters Probably everyone knows that but just in case And yeah that's a scary business The whole idea of If you go to the movie theater by yourself

are you in for like 30 bucks if you buy snacks does that sound right oh easily yeah i think the ticket's going to be 15 okay that's i haven't been in a bit so maybe 30 to 40 is a better range than so saying 30 flat i'm not really into spending 35 dollars to watch one movie and even find a stay the the drive is inconvenient it's not a i think it's gonna go away i think it's gonna go away i you're right like it's just not like i'm so pampered now being able to be like i'm going to pause this and go pee and then make popcorn and then come back like do you remember how annoying that was getting like two thirds of the way through like a lord of the rings length movie in theaters and you're like a kid and you're like chopping your feet like you're doing a football drill on the floor because

you have to pee so bad because something exciting could happen like that sucked i'd never want to go back to that. They tried that they fooled me for a bit where they're like, you can order drinks and burgers and stuff like that. And I think I like did that twice. And then it was like you check your ticket afterward. And it's like how much was that beer? How much was that burger? Okay. Well, this isn't like I can tell you right now. This was not five times as good as Red Robin. Like I'm probably full of crap because I wouldn't really do it. But I wonder if movie theaters are better for sports events. Like it, you know, the idea of sort of going live because we did that once for ufc van kyle will remember what i'm talking about and it was probably my best ufc viewing experience in my entire life it doesn't hurt that there was

some banger fights on the card but also like i think i was rooting for connor maybe there was a guy in front of me who wasn't and he was like shooting me glares every so and i'm a fucking philly fan i'm here for it like you know oh you think this this is like this We might have had Joe Loz on with us, too. So, like, it was going to go our way. I loved watching it at the movie theater and the fact that other people were, like, cheering and reacting to the fights was, you know, kind of a cooler thing. Like, I liked it.

I don't know what to do with these movie theaters, but it sure as hell isn't. I don't think they're struggling. Like, Matt, yeah, I don't think so. Like, it seems like movies are big again. Like, it seems like maybe it seems like there's big movies. all the time. The Batman or the Superman movie made like six or seven hundred million dollars and like like right now isn't some sort of what's that stupid shit called? Is it K-pop vampire slayers or some demon hunters or something? No idea. It's making like enormous amounts of money. In theaters though or is it like making money from being available somewhere like on Amazon now? Okay. K-pop demon hunters. That was it was on it was Netflix but now it's a movie though right? I like that. I like that. theater experience. Maybe I'm thinking of that other Chinese thing. But I like

what he's idea. Like doing sports there. Would you watch us a blues game at the movie theater? Yeah, that would be fun. It would be more social because that's something that like unlike a movie, you're going to want to converse and talk during it. And so it would encourage you to like, I text my buddies

and be like, hey, let's go to this theater. They're airing game one of blues versus whoever the fuck in the playoffs. Like, and unlike a sports bar, like you're not going to be worried showing up late and being like, oh, there's a table. And that's the table where I have to like crane my neck up to see the TV. And there's 100 people in here and it's busy. Like that would be, I would rather do that than watch a movie there. Also, unlike a sports bar, everyone's there for the game.

Whereas at the sports bar, I guess the environment's going to be game centric if you're in St. Louis. But there's going to be a lot of people talking about like over the game. They're interacting with each other. The game is like third on their list of priority. True. And also, like, if someone is talking during a movie and I'm in a theater, I'm like, indignant. I'm like, why did you pay for this? Like, you douchebag, this is so rude. If someone's talking during a sporting event, it's like, what? I missed four seconds of their commentary telling me what I'm watching right now. It's really not a big deal. It would be more. They could even have the lights up a little bit, make it more social. They could bring you your drinks, bring you your chicken wings and whatnot. That would be nice. That is a really good idea. I bet they can't do it because of some horseshit sports licensing agreement where they're like, oh, you have to you can't air our stuff

unless you pay us X amount. Well, they have to pay. But like, I don't know, to me, like, make it happen. Make it happen. Every sports bar does it. I'm sure they pay to, uh,

broadcast. It's not the right term. To screen Spider-Man. How much would it cost to screen game one? Yeah. I would like that more. Yeah. I'd love to go to a movie.

I just always, every time I look it up, I like look up movies with the goal of like, I'm going to find a movie that I want to see. And then like I'll get to the end of the list and be like, damn it. Like I don't know. I can't even convince myself. I want to see any of these. That's for me that find a movie I want to see is something where the theater has to add more to the experience than I get at home, which is pretty rare because my home setup doesn't suck. It's either a TV with a really comfy bed or like nice surround sound in a projector.

So what's better? It needs to be something where I feel like I won't get the full experience unless I'm in a theater. What do you look for in a movie you want to see? I'm mostly just looking for like maybe an actor I like or a plot that I like. I just like, I know it's going to be a good viewing experience at the movie theater. I just want it to be something like that movie weapons. I would have seen that in theaters except me and my brothers at my grandparents' house this weekend. I ended up getting that on my brother's Amazon account anyway.

and that wasn't really any worse than the theater experience other than the smaller screen I guess I fucked myself because that was the only movie that's come out in like the last year that I've been like this looks good it's one of the guys from

yeah it's like it's marketed as horror it's almost more there's some spooky parts but it's almost more mystery but sucked me in is the guy from whiteest kids you know not Trevor Moore who died but one of his guys

one other guy on the white It was one of the living actors. Thank you. It was one of the living. All right. Yeah, I wasn't Jerry. It could be anyone.

This was not a secret project of his that he kept with a raft for four and a half years. No, it was one of the living ones. John was something. They did a new twist on horror movies. They used the dead actor. Yeah, that was a stupid differentiation.

But yeah, no, it wasn't Timmy. It wasn't Timmy. Timmy's the fat one who's very funny. This is the other funny one, but he like looks more normal. So,

and also not the one that dresses like a girl. A bunch of children go missing. And the, the common, like overnight, night, like a dozen children go missing. They open the doors to their houses and they run off into the night and disappear. And the common factor between them all is they all have the same like third grade teacher. And so she falls under suspicion. And that's all I know about the

movie because I haven't seen it yet. Yeah. I don't want to say anything to give it away. But it kept me invested the whole time. It was shot in an interesting way where not quite as dramatic, but you know how Pulp Fiction is shot where you kind of go step one through six for this plot line and then step one through eight for this plot line and step one through four for this one and it like then it all culminates in the end all being woven together it's kind of like that where they're not linear yeah nonlinear they're going through different characters and subplots and then it ties together in the end it wasn't like it's not gonna you're not gonna be sitting there or like going to bed that night like oh my gosh I'm so scared but there will be

a good part in the middle where you're like what the fuck is going on here like what explains I think I thought it was good I'm with Woody that um if it's technically going to be better to watch it at the theater. That's something that would draw me in. The next Christopher Nolan movie, for example, or maybe even the next Tarantino movie, if they shoot in 70 millimeter, I'm apt to go to a 70 millimeter screening because I like that. It looks different, and it's kind of a cool experience. And the people who go to that aren't loud and obnoxious. They're there for the same reason as me. And then the other thing would be if the crowd experience is a plus, which I think when I was a kid, it might.

have been because I can I remember watching um um Avengers when the crowd just fucking roared with cheers and applause you know at the final moments of the Captain America grabbing the hammer and everything my crowd that was great to be around the crowd for it was like we are all feeling the same thing nobody's on their phones like there's no crying babies everyone is like 20 movies invested deep in this shit because when I'm watching it like I watch it the first day it came out I think and uh so good yeah it was so good yeah it was It was a great experience with highlights of that movie. Yesterday.

I think it a lot. It's great. But then, like, I see these people being obnoxious and awful in theaters. I just saw the other day. Some guy stood up and he must have had to pee like Taylor was talking about because he started pissing on the people all around him, children included. He just started pissing on all sorts of people, just went full R. Kelly. Piss, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, pissing on kids, pissing on people.

And the next thing you say is just a dude just beating him to death, just on top of him, just, I don't know how many times he punched him. You lose count because it's a dark theater, but you can just hear him out of there, as this guy just beats the tar out of him before the cops can get there. Good. What a douchebag, pissing on a bunch of kids. You piss on me at the midnight show. I'm going to sour my whole week. Beat your drunk ass, or I won't feel good about me. Yeah. I don't know what I would do. I'd be like, I got his legs.

I'd be like, all right. I'd be tearing his clothes off and putting my peat clothes on him and wearing his non-peak clothes. Now it's our legs. I got to go bad. Man, what a cunt. That is so rude. Was he like trashed or something or on drugs?

All I know from the video is what I said. Like, it's mostly the beating because someone was like after he started pissing on people, some i got their phone out and started recording him just getting this shit beaten out of him if he was sober that is diabolical definitely not sober and then i saw obviously you see kids like um during the minecraft movie just trash in the theater and be obnoxious and i'm often seeing like a certain group of people get out their phones and be talking and texting and stuff and then somebody will like hey turn that off and then now there's a literal fist fight in the movie theater um

there was an old man that shot the guy and killed him over an argument in the theater like like it's been four or five years ago now and i'm thinking like man i got amazon like i get for 20 dollars i could just sit right here and watch this thing right now and again have my bathroom and my snacks and not get shot you know all that's not you pissed on and if you do get peed on it'll be the dog yeah yeah yeah just like gross than people we picked our dog yeah oh nice oh yeah did i tell you we did a maybe you didn't pick the individual yeah you showed us picture and you said yours is in there that was true that turned out to be true we got a dog its name is currently orange because they all have different color colors yeah yeah but i think we're

going with jonah bark and uh uh we uh we uh we liked it we did sort of a face time call where they like held all the dogs and showed them to us and they weighed them and uh the breeders real professional like the environment in which they're being raised and stuff looks like it's isn't their first uh rodeo so anyway uh we we wanted a lazy cuddly dog and at first they held up like the biggest one or something and they're like oh you want a cuddly one where is orange you know they like yeah they're like this is the one and the dog is like um joe bow jacky and i were like all right all right we'll go with that one so we're nice is it out of state no it's a few hours away but they didn't allow people to, like, touch the dogs.

They're like, you can, you can actually come here and see, but there'll be like some sort of barrier where we don't get near the dogs. It wasn't better than the video experience. I'm sure there's a reason for that. Having to do with vaccinations and diseases and such, the puppies are vulnerable, I guess. Yeah. I had a buddy whose wife had like a homebirth, and then we showed up to shoot some FBS Russia shit, and he was in this awkward position where we had planned our film shoot with him.

months in advance and he had limited time but his wife is in there and the mother-in-law is in there and there's a brand new like 20-hour old baby right and because it's a home birth there's all sorts of health things to consider apparently that like our germs don't need to be coming into the house like he's got us in like this side side man cave room and the mother-in-law sees us in there and she's like what are you doing with people in the house do you have a that baby is 18 hours old and sure enough

he had the afterbirth in the back of his truck outside to use for bear bear bait which didn't seemly a good idea you give him a taste for human blood you use every part use every part as you do

it's just respectful it is so when do you get the dog like when does it show up it's in October I forget the day like with when in October nice have you poked around on a second one or just one for now one for now i don't know if we're going to do

two dogs again uh i think when we first started getting two dogs we had the idea it was roughly the same effort and expense but it's about double like it's a list you know like there's no group discounts at the vet or at the kennel there should be discounts at the camel they put them in the same thing but they don't and uh And it's like, yeah, maybe just one. I'm not sure we're getting double the value out of two, like, you know, the love and affection. So we're at one for now. Nice.

One of my dogs might have liver cancer. We took Memphis, the shepherd mix. She had a rash on her, like, bye and wanted to get that checked out. And I guess her blood work came back. And she either has, I think Cushing's disease, which would be very rare for her or liver cancer. I think it's kind of like either or type thing. So that sucks. She's like five, six years old or something like that.

Oh, man. Cushing's, that's not going to kill the dog. That would just be like something you had to work around, right? I don't know. I wasn't there. I was told that the Cushings would be an outside chance kind of thing. What do you know about Cushings? I know zero.

I don't mean to put you on the spot. I thought it was an autoimmune disease that makes it so you're really sensitive to some things. like some foods and some stimuli I can fuck you up, but I don't know enough. Yeah, I don't know. I think it makes that, yeah, with humans it like change, like, I think it gives you like really skinny arms and

like really fat belly. Yeah, like, I know they're from the Sopranos. When they, when the big of jolly Santa neck, I think. But, but like, you lose musculature. I think. That's a trump word, Zach.

Weight gain around midsection. Fuck this is. Well, she is a chunky bit. She's been on a diet for two years, and I'm like, why won't you lose weight? You eat two cups of diet food a day, and you're just a chunk. She's a sausage. So, you know, maybe. Is she stressing?

A hormonal disorder in dogs caused by an overproduction of cortisol. She always acts like depressed and stressed despite having a life of leisure. Cortisol is the stress hormone, to me, unless anyone knows more or better. So that tracks. I don't know. Antich is well. Wait, what was that anti-itch? That's cortisone.

Oh, did I say cortisone? No, I do. Oh, I see me. I ruined your joke by not getting my apologies. So, yeah, I'm probably going to have to, I don't know. I'm if she goes though I'm getting another Pomeranian because and then eventually

a third Pomeranian because when you I really think it's cute that a group of Pomeranians is called a Puff and I want a puff of palms and I just want I'm running around being yappy I want to do different colors I kind of want to do Neapolitan like chocolate strawberry and blend vanilla and just have them standing next to

each other they're fucking cute yappy pieces of shit but but I like them a lot I love Toby I mean he I I don't have an affinity for big dogs or small dogs, but that Pomeranian has so much personality that he'll just walk up and look at me and just, eh,

ugh, eh, he sort of grunts at me when he wants something. I'm like, all right, fine, let's fucking go. When we,

we, like, sleep in bed, he gets, like, under my chin and, like, snuggles with me, like,

right here. And when I squeeze him, he goes, eh, it's like, like, all night, he's just my little snuggle buddy.

Love that dog. He's a cute little guy, but he's not, He's not the leader. I think the apex in the house has to be Toby. The PAC leader. Toby is mean and scary to everybody that isn't one of us. Like when he goes out the door and if the neighbor dog is outside and he runs up to that chain link fence and goes crazy, like it is a mean, loud, scary bark.

Like, I'm just like, God, is that my dog? He's a doodle, right? Yeah. Yeah. Huh. I didn't envision him being scary. He has very big chompers. Well, I think he was capable of being scary, just that I expected him to be more lab.

More docile. No, he's mean and protective, like, and, like, aggressive. I don't know if he would bite a person because he's never had the opportunity to, but he acts like he wants to bite people. Like mailman or delivery drivers? Any noise he hears, any noise he hears or a person he sees. He wants to get him. That's good.

Yeah. Yeah. You're going to do a dog park? No, I don't socialize them at all. No, you socialize them. They become weak. I don't socialize them at all. Not a bit, not a bit.

No, no, I don't. Not into that. No. I don't like the dog park because I'm always afraid that either my dog's going to kill another dog or their dog's going to kill my dog. And then I'm going to have to like beat some pit bull to death out there. I'm like holding it by its back legs slamming it into a tree. You got to find no pit bull park.

Those exist. Oh, he's a mix. that's what would happen like no he's actually a support animal you see I've got well can I see your accreditation no you can't ask me for that he's a he's a pit bull wolfhound mix

and there's a little werewolf in there too and also he's a rapist so make clear yeah they all are right they're dogs I mean you know not all of them right people though this one did oh

yeah that is sinister told me about a news story to do with that and it was almost so ghastly I couldn't believe that was a real thing. Yeah, that's a real thing. The family's, they weren't watching their pit bull or their baby. And the pit bull raped the baby and nodded inside the baby and then was dragging the baby around by its cock. Well, by the baby's asshole, I suppose, but on the dog's cock as it ran around dragging the baby behind it.

And you can imagine the shit show it was to sort of corral the two of them. Yeah, you just got to kill that dog and then probably throw whoever was in charge that day in prison. Yeah, yeah, anybody leaving, like, children, I mean, I know my dog wouldn't bite a kid or rape a kid either, but still, I wouldn't want to, like, I wouldn't want to be liable for my dog being left along with your little kid. I wouldn't want to be conceivably liable for that. Like, what if your kid pokes him in the eye or, like, slaps his dick or something? Like, what if you kid hurts my dog? Like, he might defend himself. I'm not sure that he's going to be like, oh, that hurts little guy.

Don't do, ah, oh, please, not my eyes. I need him for he might kill your kid I don't know yeah I don't want my dog around people's kids or their dogs like for all those reasons

oh yeah I don't think about like the pomerani like do you have any dogs that you would say you're just well like if the palm could go

like have friends have like tiny palm friends that would be cool but I don't want him around any dogs that are bigger than him because he got beat up by a female

bejean friege like last year so he's not a fighter he acted like he was but she bit his ass and he cried everyone's a tough guy until they meet a bejean friege yeah it was so funny he ran up to like fucking william wallace like like charging the battlefield right up to that

bjean it's standing there his whole standing its ground in front of its owner and murphy got there and it went ha like 180 degrees straight back to me like that's rough in there boss it's bad they're tough where's Toby Bichon is bigger than the Pomeran by a tiny bit right he's 15 pounds now at the time he was a little guy and that Bijon was an adult girl dog so they were they were still kind of similar they're both little

little critters yeah he's your cutest dog that's big dog my dog is only four and a half pounds well for now then he'll get to what will he get to you should wait money a girl uh that's a good estimate yeah maybe you don't want the work but i always really enjoy those videos where someone takes a picture of something every day that grows fast um Colin has been doing that for like 15 years it the storage is a problem in this house like he'll get super stressed if his iPad is full and you know i'm like all right

this is that phase where he used the burst mode and took 22 pictures every night that are all the same. Like, we got to go back in time and cut that pound to one. I meant like a man growing a beard, but it sounds like he's just documenting life. It's an autism thing, I guess, but he is absolutely compelled to take pictures the same time every day. It's about 11.30 p.m. And the stress starts early sometimes. Like, if we're at like Hope's house at 6 p.m., he's are, we're going to be home in time?

Yes. Yes, we're going to be home in time. You've got to be fine. Are you sure you don't want to take a picture of something at Hope's House? We could add a little diverting to the portfolio. There's not a mere worth photographing. Nothing and no one. Self portraits every night.

That's great. Oh, it's all self portraits? Yeah, he just takes a picture of himself every night. No smile. Dude, there's like 25 of them every night. Well, he's gotten past that because now he's out of space. So every day he like takes another picture and he deletes. like eight oldies

from like you know 2021 or something oh no you gotta get him up bigger it's more storage because oh you could do that montage eventually he will okay first to be clear

he's not deleting all the pictures from that day he's selecting the prize amongst the like 20 identical shots because he was using the burst mode something you might use to like catch a baseball swing oh yeah

oh yeah and uh um oh but he will not accept a new iPad he doesn't like the last thing in the world he wants is change and it's like you know we could get you another iPad and absolutely it's going to happen someday in the same way that someday your dog will die we don't look forward to the day that we get him a new iPad yeah he has to like adjust to how many gigs of storage is it is it I don't know 56 or something that's a good

estimate they're probably I only bring it up because it's like if we really want to to like fix this Maybe we could take that one somewhere and have them put like a terabyte in it. Like could you add some more storage here? Or maybe what are the cloud, right? The cloud's the answer, isn't it? Right. Or just sink it and like make a backup of all, like everything before 2020. I don't know, whatever that date is.

But one drive, it seems like would be the answer. Just have everything on there. But no, I like the, if you did that with your dog, like if it's going from six pounds to 120 pounds in a year. That's a lot of change quickly. That would be a cool montage to watch. Would it work if they don't strike the same pose every day? You'd be able to tell.

Yeah. I mean, that's true. That would be a pain in the ass to like get it. You'd have to pick a pose early. Just hold a treat up and like get it to look up at you. All right. Every day to do this. Yeah, that's not.

How many years into the self-portraits is Colin? eventually that could be one of those cool videos if he's got like years of it you just need one for day so he's 22 maybe 15 years wow well then he's already adolescence and adulthood yeah yeah yeah we got a thing we got but like you don't understand there's thousands tens of thousands of thousands most of them the same There is no such hard drive. That would be so, eventually, you're having to, like, pair those down and you're like, oh, my God. You're having to be like.

I can't even tell if it's different days. Yeah, you're like the eye doctor. You're like, one or two? One or two? Kind of like the smirk in one, but two says, I mean business. Yeah. Fuck! I always thought that was neat when people were like, this person took a person.

picture of themselves every year for like 20 years and it's like holy cow this person thought to start doing this when they were seven we might even been thinking of the same guy but uh there's another one I've seen which is a dad who videoed the kids coming down the stairs on Christmas morning and you get to see like the excited toddlers to like the excited kids to the teenagers who are too cool for school to the young adults who are like doing this family tradition that now they're like back into it's sweet to see the progress yeah that's cool it's a good idea man it would be funny if i start doing that at 34 and it's just me deteriorating you should start taking pictures of the kids coming down the stairs a good like six years before you have kids

here's 2026 bit of a disappointment if I'm honest nothing again folks but I did binge eat afterward and this is what I ate doing weight loss like is uh is fun like that because you can you know see especially like uh my my dexas scans are cool to watch because at the end they gave me this chart that you can just see you know everything change over the course of a year it's pretty neat

there's um I like that I like that me too there's a subreddit called glowups and it's kind of fun like most of the time it's people who've either gained a lot of muscle or lost a lot of fat and they look much better some of the time it's like bro you were better before you just went on a bulk or something like I'll admit you probably live more but no I'm going to see that third picture you're not there yet yeah yeah or like a woman who went from like 220 to 190 oh my god you're not ready for your after shot yeah yeah this should be like a quarter of the way through the video where you've decided

to end you're just leaving the shire ma'am you got to get it together yeah the first one of these I saw on glowups was someone and this should also be against the rules using their license picture in the pre and then get into a normal picture. It's like stop. Everyone looks like a fat idiot in their license photo compared to their normal self. Even if you're normally good looking, you don't look great in it.

But if you're a fat idiot, I've got a good one even worse than it. Of course you do. I've got a good one. I went at my current one is awful. It's awful. And then I'm sorry they're cutting off your story. But I re-upped it in the mail, which means I'm having it for another 10 years.

But, oh, wait. Definitely re-upping my photo. Is I get older in older? It'll be good by comparison. It'll be a better picture that I can take. Wow. I guess I'm in for a decade on this picture. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, mine, I like did not. Like, I was clearly like I hadn't shaved in like a week and a half. And so I had like the neck. I just, I just look like a slovenly idiot. I knew this thing was coming up. Like, oh, it's when I did my motorcycle. That's when it was. Okay.

Whenever I got my motorcycle, uh, certificate. or whatever, addendum on my license. Like, hey, you're not going to, you know, it's like one of those forever pictures. It's like a passport photo. Yeah, passport photo. So what about the women who look really hot on their wedding day? Is that a mistake? Should they maybe lower lifetime expectations a little bit and not look smoking hot on

your wedding day? Probably, but, you know, let everyone enjoy that fantasy a bit. I mean, that's the time to peak, right? They've accomplished their goal. Now they can just let it ride. You know what else I'm noticing on this glow-ups is there's a lot of people who have cancer. And then they don't have cancer anymore. And it's like, I get it.

That's wonderful. So glad you don't have cancer anymore. But, you know, this wasn't a, like, you got better. Like, you didn't work out. You didn't inject yourself with the cancer or anything. Like, it seems like you're getting credit that you didn't really earn, you know? It's like, did you create the chemo that cured you? If anything, this is a glow up for the doctor.

Yeah, they need to give him some credit. Yeah, I like to see when the people get off drugs. You don't see me bragging about it. Yeah, exactly. Same. Like, I bought a T-shirt about it. We should be selling Livestrong bracelets. I mean, it's so long past that.

We could get away with it probably, right? There's no way Armstrong's keeping a close eye. he was the guy he was the guy wasn't it yeah lansombe the live strong thing do you remember that phase I mean it for me it was like middle school into high school where they they got the rubber bands for everything yeah and people started just layering tons of them and it was actually didn't south park do an episode about that they did yeah it was exactly that but you're I know you're five years older than me so I didn't know if you had just missed that phase or no no no I remember that vividly you know I was I remember

that and thinking how stupid it was and then also catching like the conservative side of it like where they were like a red band means your daughter takes it up the ass a black band means she eat shit it's like oh my god my daughter's taking up the ass and eating shit every night it's like i think it's just native american heritage man yeah she might be a bulls fan she might be a bulls which is worse that was like the same level of myth as when people were like, did you know, Richard Gear kills gerbils with his ass? And it's like, it was

always the kid who had the oldest siblings. It was like bringing that up on the playground. I mean, eventually they die. I think it's their death throes that he's going for, you know? In my area, there was a local Philadelphia newscasters. Name was like Jerry

Penicoli or something like that. That rumor was about him, not Richard Gear. Everyone knew Jerry put, I've heard hamsters and gerbils. up his butt as some sort of sexual fetish. I'm an eel man. I didn't know it wasn't true. I was like

eight or something. You're like seeing him talk about the weather and you're like the fact they let this monster on the air. Is there one there now? You think? It's going to be sunny. Come down in there. Did you

see the shooting today? No. I missed a day shooting. I hate the politic. It's so political. Both sides are so quick to wrangle and be like, because I see on Reddit, they're like another right wing shooter.

And it's like, because they're saying the guy that shot Charlie Kirk was right wing, of course. And they're like another right wing shooter. And for act, what it turned out was this guy got into an elevated position with a sniper rifle outside the ice facility. And when the agent showed up with a group of people,

people, he opened fire, didn't hit a single agent, hit three migrants, killed one, and then on the bullets, he's written anti-ice. They found a stripper clip of his ammo, and he wrote anti-ice. This is the right-wing guy they're talking about. Like, it doesn't seem like it. It doesn't seem like it. Just speak for themselves. I bet most, like, when they talk about domestic terror or whatever, being mostly white, it's like, I'm not going to argue with that like it probably probably but what call a spade a spade like like clearly this guy was an anti-ice warrior on top they're like he's white it's like why are you why is it okay for you to always be so racist why do they think that he's white because the white white is right uh

i'm guessing he's white is coded he's republican but i'm just trying to connect the dots yeah I saw the news about the anti-ice stuff. And when I saw it this morning, it was like there's a sniper on the roof. And, well, but apparently he was like taking like pot shots into a van and into the building. That's what, yeah. And so he was just like shooting it. When I hear a sniper, I think like targeting an individual and not like with a rifle just like bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, like just shooting in indiscriminately. And then he...

I don't know what kind of rifle he had, but the bullets they showed were in a stripper clip. So I was thinking maybe it was an old-timey bolt gun or, um, and him one grand or something. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, these... Ping! The little, oh, is that, that's the grand? Oh, no, I heard it was a Mosin Nagant that he had.

Oh, that makes sense. Oh, did he have a Mosin de gun? Yeah. And then he killed himself with a mozen. Oh, that's a mess. I saw the picture. That's a thing. like I don't know I'm just not into the bolt action suicide like doing it from the front it seems fucked up it's very inelegant it's certainly not slipping into a bath you know it's a lot I have a mose in the gun I like that guy I like that it's been places I want to say it was made in I have 1938 in my head but I could be wrong and but I know that I looked at the year and I was like oh given that

that there was a Mosin shortage. No way this thing built in 1938 sat out during the war. This thing probably had a couple different soldiers that held this thing. And somebody was probably in the mud, scared while holding it. It might have killed a

Nazi. I don't know. But it has history to it that none of my other guns. Most of my other guns have. That is cool. Is the Mosin like a is it thought of as like a respectable historical gun or like they just slapped it together as fast as they could?

It's a very respectable historical gun. It fought in a lot of wars. I think it goes back to the late 1800s originally, and then they've been used in conflict in Ukraine this year. Really? I've seen pictures of soldiers in Ukraine with Mosin's. Well, I wasn't calling you a liar or anything. No, I'm saying, like, that's my evidence for it.

They were talking about it on the gun subreddit. They're like, oh, tried and true, boys. like it's a guy like it was it was early on when the ukrainians were getting their molotov cocktails together and then like fight to the last man or whatever seemingly before they kind of oh was it the ukrainians who used it in the video i saw there was a ukrainian with one on his back yeah that makes more sense because i'm like i don't know why maybe i'm crazy but a bolt action to me seems wildly underarmed even if it's a big heavy shot with the fact that you have i think there's five rounds in it i'm not sure yeah

And then you have to work the bolt. Somehow I don't think about that for a pump action, like a shotgun. But for a bolt action, I feel like you're underarmed. Maybe I'm not making any sense. No, absolutely. And if you look at the combat, like if you've seen those videos, it's rough. You would not want to be out there with a bolt action. You wouldn't get anything done.

I've seen lots of like trench charging. And then when in the forest, they're just spraying the whole whole fucking forest down. Like it's predator. Yeah. What was our equivalent of that at the time? Springfield, 1902 maybe. I don't have that one. Is that better than the Mosen or just pretty much carbon copy?

We just one rip the other. Well, I don't know about historical data or anything, but the Mosen, the Mosen's that I've had were often pretty inaccurate, whereas I think the Springfield was more of a sniper rifle. Because I think that that Hathcock used a Springfield. with a Unnerdal scope in Vietnam as his sniper rifle. So I would imagine the Springfield is a more accurate, better made weapon. But the Mosen's were, I mean, if you look at a Mosen, it's kind of cheap and skinny and reliable. That's what I would say about a Mosen. Okay.

That's wild they're still used. That's the coolest thing or one of the cool things about guns is like 1898 and it still works. I don't think of it. I'm sure Kyle has a better basis for comparison than me. I don't think of my mosen is like cheap and skinny. I think of it is heavy and durable. And the butt plate on it is metal. All my other guns with a kick that even resembles the mosen have a rubber sort of,

you know, bump stock or not a mock stock, but like a rubber end of the stock that goes against your shoulder. This one, you could use it as a hammer. I bet they like opened cans and shit with the butts of their mosen, the gons. it just struck me as a weapon that would work well in the mud.

That's the American equivalent. But then, like, America was maybe the first country to field a semi-automatic infantry rifle in the M1 Garand. The Japanese all had Erosakas, which... I have one. Not a great gun. That's one that... I mean... What's wrong with it?

I mean, they... quit making the penny so they could make more aerosaccas in Japan. Like, they didn't have the manpower or the material by the end of the, but at any point in the war, really, to deal with the economy of the United States. But all that aside, they had bolt action rifles, whereas every Marine had an M1 Garand going, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, ping. And then they're ready to go again. And then you got a dozen guys with these things in foxholes,

and you're going to charge at them going, pow, pow! with your shitty iron sights. Like, it's night and day. There's great reports from Japanese forward observers saying, like, each American is armed with a machine gun with great firepower. Like, they were getting these early reports of what the Marines were showing up with, and it was just, it spelled disaster from the beginning. So it wasn't that the Erosaka itself was horrible.

It's just they were totally outmatched by the grand firepower. power? Yeah, well, I mean, yeah, they had a semi-automatic 30-a-6, and I don't know much about the caliber of the Erosaka, but I do know that they made some of them with these wacky anti-aircraft pop-up sites that would allow you to calculate the speed of the plane and lead it properly with your rifle. They had all sorts of junk like that. That reminds me of the, I'm sure you've heard about this, that story where some like African tribe recovered a bunch of guns when they were doing battles with the British and then the British

found the guns later after they defeated the tribes they didn't really know what to do with guns and they were like why are the sites the like sliding sites why are they all slid

all the way to the top what the fuck were they shooting at and then they like found through a translator that they were like so why did they all make the guns like really inaccurate

and they were like well they were under the impression the larger number the higher it went the more powerful it would shoot it's like Oh, they just needed one guy on the squad to be like, you know, guys, let's settle down for a second. Let me see what the site goes to an infield because a lot of those old rifles, they go to like 1,500 meters and crazy shit like that.

Well, if they didn't know it was a site, they definitely weren't using it as a site anyway, right? Like if they thought it was a power meter, I doubt they would have been looking through it. Let's see. Would be my guess. I don't know. The Max Marin. Yeah, it's calibrated to 1,300 yards. So they had the thing set on 1300. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You've got this big pop-up. Is that a mile? How many yards are in? No, about 1650 miles. Yeah, yeah. But they're just going way over the heads of anybody within like normal fighting range for like the Zulu conflict, if that's what we're talking about. It maybe was Zulu conflict.

I don't remember. That's a great movie, by the way. If you want to watch a movie that really covers the battle of Rorke's drift, I think it was a mission. They got like 300 red coats holding down a mission with like cattle fences for cover and shit like that against thousands and thousands of Zulu. It was at least 10,000,

but it's an enormous amount of them. And in the movie, Michael Cain's in that movie, very young, blonde-haired Michael Cain, and they get into this formation where the front row is on their knees or on one knee and then the row behind them are standing and the row behind them are on an elevated like sandbag position. And they're just, fire, fire, fire! And they're just boom, boom, boom, boom, and loading.

And the Zulus have spears and cattle hide shields, and they're charging in waves. So it goes really poorly. Yeah. Oh, yeah, you know, on Wikipedia, you can look up battles and it'll be like combatants and then like casualties and all that. I've looked at those pages for the conflict you're talking about, like those Brits were putting up Nazi zombie numbers. Yes. Like, if I were one of the Zulu, like, and I wasn't in the first line, I would have started running slower. I would have pretended to trip and retie my sandal or something.

I would have been like, I'm not doing this. This is nonsense. It's a good movie. It's probably free on YouTube. Zulu. Well, I think it's dinner time, lads. All right. PKN.
