Painkiller Already - PKN 596

Episode Date: January 21, 2026

P.KN. 596. How you boys doing? Pretty well. Doing good. Fired the guy who was doing my floors. He was doing a bad job. Oh, I'm sorry. So hardcore. No, it's white guy. Yeah, basically I hired this. This guy. He said he had a bunch of before, Taylor. Anyone, anyone who messes up a job is getting fucking deported. But yeah, this guy, like, started doing my stairs. And it was just the angle of walking by it made it tough because like I wanted to be an annoying homeowner the whole time and like be hovering and being like there's there's a crack right there's like make sure they're not being lazy but just the angle of it it was tough and so like there wasn't enough room for both of us on the stairs so I had to like wait until he would finish a step and then when he was getting more supplies or cutting I'd go down there real quick get a look

see the uh you know how everything's snug and and matched and after the first day I went and I saw the like three steps he'd completed because he spent most of the time getting like the floor leavener or leveler at the base of the landing. And I was just like it looked like I did it. Like it was fucking terrible. Like and I've never done this. And so I was like I know those cracks aren't supposed to be there. This isn't lined up.

I've seen other people have this like LVP shit in their houses and they don't have big gaps. Like what do you want me to do? Like do I have to go to Home Depot and get like quarter round to like high? your horse shit around every stair that's ridiculous and so I like had to text the head of that crew and the dude was like

I'll you know I'll be honest he reeked of weed reeked he like he brought the smell into my house wasn't even the dude said oh you're saying the dude that did the jobs the dude that did the job like he just ripped a bong in the car not even like a vague that like reeked of

of flour and so I had to text like the head of the team and be like you know this is is just unacceptable. I'm going to cancel the rest of the work for flooring. I'm thankful he didn't actually glue anything down yet for the stairs because it's ruined. I already had to order additional stairs from Home Depot. So, you know, do you have another guy like a better team or is this the guy? Like, because if this is the guy, then let's just cancel this. And he responded. He's like, yep, no hard feelings. That's the guy. I won't send him out again. And so now I'm having to find

other flooring. But I found a couple people I know who have done this before. and so they are going to help me do it and learn it this weekend, hopefully. And then I'll be able to just, you know, I feel like if I can get the stair part figured out with their guidance, and then the floor part won't be nearly as tough. It's going to be easier. I've never done stairs. But you do do the edges with quarter-round, right? Like I always thought when you're doing flooring, it doesn't butt perfectly against the walls because of expansion.

Instead, there's small gaps by the walls and the quarter-round. covers it, but I'm outside my depth. I don't the I the gaps were such that I could put like three quarters into it like a large gap between it and the wall. And then it clearly wasn't his concern because some of one of the stairs actually yeah one of the stairs specifically he got perfect like you couldn't get a piece of paper on either side it was absolutely perfect. And then all the other ones it's like well what were you doing? You blow it all on this stair. You killed it on You're number one. And then you really

turned it. And so, yeah, now we're going to do that. Yeah, that's true. Maybe he was. Yeah, he went out to his car, got ripped and then fucked up my stairs. So that was

annoying. But hopefully it's, it's not that hard to learn. I get groceries delivered, and they'll have smoked so much weed in the car that the bags are inundated with weed smoke.

Wow, that's rude. Like, like, they, they smell so strong of weed when I get when I'm taking the bags in my house like that's that must be the job just this this door dash person the other day I had I was like maybe a week or two ago I had to be home all day because I had people in my house doing work and so I couldn't leave I couldn't get anything I had like no food

and so I like door dash like basic supplies like eggs and bacon or whatever maybe a little breakfast steak and the lady wasn't able to pull up into my driveway because there's all these people here And so I'm like, I'm going to be considered. I'm going to go out and meet her at the base of my driveway and just grab everything there. It's not that much. And it says she's a lady. So I go down there and she's behind her car. And she smells like weed.

And she clearly wasn't expecting me to like show up to help because she turned around from her grabbing the groceries. I'm right there. And she goes, no. She like, she like, she like, scream. She's like, no. I didn't expect you. Oh, my goodness. It's like, all right.

Spaz out more lady. giving my eggs. That's a little paranoid from the weed. I think so. Yeah, driving. I made, uh, I made, uh, that picture I sent was I took manicotti and, uh, boiled them. And then I stuffed them with ground pork, cream cheese and, um, jalapeno diced up,

then rolled them back up, put them back together and wrapped them in bacon and smoked them. Ooh. They were so good. They were so good. They're called shotgun shells. Um, you, rushing with barbecue in the last 10 minutes and let it sit. They're just tremendous.

Is that your first time doing that? Yeah. Yeah. Kyle opens the story with that picture I sent. And I'm like, yeah, I haven't been on the WhatsApp in a minute. Let's see what Kyle's most recent picture is. Oh. Anti-marriage propaganda.

Oh. I don't remember what I said. What was it exactly? Oh, I saw that this morning. And I was like, yeah. What's the ideal age to get married? Biologically 15, socially 26, legally after 18. legally after 18, culturally 24 to 28, economically above 30, and logically never.

Yeah, I like that. I was spot on. I know, you liked it. I didn't catch up with your story at all. I can't put these together. Oh, there's got to be hundreds of pictures sent if you're going all the way back to the manicati. There were, I, yesterday, my sleep script was all fucked up again. And yesterday, I slept through like a bunch of you and Chis messaging. and I looked at my gallery and it's like, oh my God, there's like 40 images saved in here. I've never seen before, and they're all NBA related.

Oh, did you get a bunch of sports? We talked about sports for hours, so you got a bunch of stuff like sports stats sheets. I told him the other day, he posted like this in-depth NBA analysis, and I'm like, no one who cares. I was like, you've got to pick a different sport. Pick a different sport that someone here cares about. None of us care. There's not like four or five more. people in here and one of them might

care a little. No one cares about the NBA here. Not even a little. It's his area of interest. And your only interest ever is if you see somebody who's like over seven foot tall, you're fascinated. Wow. He's like 7.6, huh? Still growing?

He's going to have those back problems, I bet. Might be pituitary. It's like, God damn. Why don't you so fascinated with tall people? Leave it alone. Get some stilts. I just don't give a shit so much. about basketball. Like, at least with, with football, like, you could,

you could be like, hey, do you see that play Mendoza made at the end of the, at the end of the championship game? What is going to be all fucking night? It's going to be all night. What do you just text? That shit out of here. That shit out of here. God damn it.

I saw it pop up. Do the kings of a viable path to be a winning team again? What's their contract draft situation? Really break it down for me. I haven't been following closely enough. Get granular. I need a flow chart. Just don't give a fuck at all.

Don't give a fuck at all. No, the college football championships, Indiana, obviously won. Mendoza, it's like fourth and five, fourth and six at the goal line, and he runs it in himself, breaks two tackles and extends for the touchdown. It was incredible. That's one of the greatest plays I've ever seen a quarterback make on the internet. All the Raiders fans are like, that's our quarterback, because they've got number one draft pick. And they're like, that's our quarterback.

That's him right there. They're all pumped. I get it. Yeah. Dude, and he seemed like an actual sweetheart in his interview, too, talking about how much he cared about the team, how every team is like they're willing to die, which is a good cliche for sure. But he just seemed sweet. I hope that when he gets into the pro world, they don't corrupt him that he can keep. He's a good Catholic voice.

Yeah. Is he? I didn't know him until today. Like, I'm not a big guy. I saw him wearing some sort of like Jedi garb with a couple of pedophiles. He's Catholic. Maybe he'll be like, like that guy, like the 45-year-old they brought back, that Mormon or maybe. No, the other guy was Catholic too. Yeah, Rivers were like all the clips of him getting angry.

He's like, fiddle sticks. One of a gun. Consarnet. like out there. I like that. The captain of the Winnipeg Jets was like that, like almost annoyingly wholesome where everyone else is out there,

they score and they're like, fuck yeah, let's fucking go, boys, let's fucking go. And he's like, right on, fellas,

right on. But he's like, you can't fuck with him. He's like 6'6 and a professional hockey player. But, I like, I like, talk to one of the defensemen on the Florida Panthers.

like for the championship, like go to the White House thing. Okay. Talking about his teeth. Yeah, he saw, I think Seth Jones, one of their defensemen, and he's like, you guys are all great, great athletes, great guys. Your teeth, my God, I love your teeth. Maybe if I had teeth like those, people would think I was tough. Oh, I wish people thought I was tough.

I'd need teeth like that. Just like just riffing with the boys and they're all like, oh, okay, they all dressed up like him for the four years. They all dressed up like him. and they're all cheese and smiling. That would be fun. I would hope they'd let you explore more than just like two rooms there. I'd hope they'd give you like a real deal tour,

not just come in, eat your meal, get the hell out. I don't think they do. I don't think you're getting any special treatment at all. Maybe you'd have to get in Trump's ear to get to even go see the Lincoln bedroom, I bet. I bet that's very on rails. It should depend how dominant they were. If they barely won the championship.

The president was open for tour. Maybe I'm wrong because I'm not confident. Maybe so. I think he sleeps in it anymore, right? I thought when you stayed over, you stayed in the Lincoln bedroom. Yeah. I've heard celebrities talk about like staying there when they slept over at the White House. Like Dana Carvey or whatever went to get to, you know,

Dana Carvey did a mad, a great George H.W. Bush back in the day. And he has that story about hanging out with George H.W. Bush. and and Bush got him to like he's like secret eight Secret service agents names Mike want you tell him to come in here and he's just like

hey Mike come on in here for a minute and like Mike comes in yes Mr. President and then like the real president and then like the real president like he just loved that Dana Carvey was good enough to fool the Secret Service I looked up and I figured out my confusion

so the White House Lincoln bedroom the one we're talking about is rarely tour they do tours but you have to set it up months in advance and stuff like that. The Lincoln bedroom in Illinois where he actually slept. There's daily tours that anyone can see, and that's maybe how I got mixed up. Oh, and the White House Lincoln bedroom, after he was dead.

He never stayed in it or anything. And of course, there's that great story about Trump giving someone else a tour and being like, long bed, you can tell he's a big guy. Yeah, look how long that bed is. It's like, actually, Mr. President, Lincoln, never slept in this room and that bed he never slept in that bed and that bed wasn't made of him. I think I'd

know. I think I'd know I'm the president of the United States. That is a hilarious thing to say when you've been caught. Just like pontificating on things. You know nothing about. Just

I think I'd know. Anyway, just like double down. Be like, no. And I'll have you shot. Hey Mike come in here a minute This guy thinks I'm a liar Speaking of big boys Everybody Have either of you watched the first episode

Of a knight of the seven kingdoms The New Game of Thrones No I'm gonna wait for you to tell me So it's like 150 years prior to the game of Thrones And it focuses on His Hedge Knight novellas I don't know if you

You probably haven't read those but those are about a specific hedge knight named Duncan the tall or Duncan the Strong. I don't remember which. And his little boy, what do you call? Squire named Egg. And the first episode's 40 minutes long. I think the rest of them are going to be like 30 something long. There's like a couple of novellas.

They're pretty short like what's been written. But right away, it's like this is a lighthearted, fun. smaller story kind of of Game of Thrones. Like this isn't going to be about political intrigue and regicide. This is going to be about shitting jokes and like bumping your head

on a low hanging door and and like silliness. I like to I like the main you immediately are endeared to the main character like he's you get a bit of inner monologue and him talking to himself all by him is lonesome and you're like well this is a good guy.

This is not only this is a good guy. This is a guy who's kind of smart enough. And then you see him around other people. He's a giant. He's 65-256 in real life. So like seeing him, John Snow was like 5'7 or something. And they had him on stilts and shit

just to look normal amongst the regular people. This guy towers over everyone else in the show. Everybody's like, look at you, Big Phrodha. Did you see the trailer for it? I saw the trailer and I watched the first episode. Okay. The trailer, it got me interested in it.

They showed all the mentions of him in Game of Thrones. Kyle, you probably remember this and listeners. You know, there's this scene of Joffrey talking to Jamie Lannister, and he's going through the book of all the Knights Guards and their accomplishments. And some of them are like several pages long, some are like half a page. And then when you get to Jamie, it's like one paragraph. And he's using this to put down Jamie as a Knight's Guard, the leader of the Knights Guard, who's not really notable,

who history won't remember. And, but when they got to, what's his name? Something the Tall. Duncan. Duncan. Duncan the tall. Like, he had pages on him. Like, he must have been really notable. And that's in the trailer.

And it's like, I like a little, they mentioned him before. It's not the first invent. He's not just some invented character. Yeah, I liked the first episode a lot. I liked that it was more lighthearted and silly at times. And, uh, and I, I like that character. I just wish that it all came out at once.

So could binge watch it or that there was going to be more of it, knowing that I got to wait another week for 30 more minutes and then another week for 30 more minutes. It's 30 minutes? The first one was like 42, I think. 44 maybe. And I think the rest of them are going to be in the 30s. It feels short. Yeah, really short.

I want to say 48 is how long, like an hour-long show is when you remove the commercials. Like, that's kind of normal. 42, I think. Was HBO? Is it 42, you think? Yeah. I thought Game of Thrones had like true hour long episodes because HBO doesn't have commercials. They were different links.

They were usually in the 50s. Sometimes it'd be like an hour and five minutes and I'd be all excited. Oh yeah, I remember. Wasn't that the worst when you'd see it come out when we were all watching it? And it was like 47 minutes, son of a bitch! Like we're not learning anything this way. And then like three minutes in we're learning about the sand snakes or whatever. It's like, oh my God.

This is a very. real one. So I'm going to let you storm the beach of seven kingdoms. I can tell it's going to be good already. I can tell that it's going to be like, it's not a big enough story to get so invested in that you're annoyed that like the Duke

of the Eighth Kingdom did this and that and that's silly. It's not going to be this giant web of stories that have to be sewn up together. It's just about this one night and his like rise to power seemingly or because he's at the beginning it's a lot like that movie a night's tale

with Heath Ledger, like, he's nobody. He's barely, they don't really believe that he's a knight. You know, any knight can make a night, but his night is dead. His knight just died. And so he's like, my lord made me a night. He died. And they're like, did he? Any witnesses?

Well, no. Hmm. And they don't really know what to do about that. You know, he doesn't have a pavilion as egg tells. And pavilions, like a tent that a knight would normally sleep under. He's like, got a tree here. and the eggs like, yeah, but trees leak. He's like, that's true.

Like, he's just like this poor homeless man who's trying to be a knight, and he's about to fight in this tourney. And if you lose the tourney, you lose your armor and your horse and your weapons. And then the deal is you ransom them back. So you would lose your gear, and then you'd have to buy it back from the guy you lost it to. But he doesn't have any money. So if he loses, he loses his only horse. He has to become the other guy's butler.

Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, he'd be screwed. See, I'm down. I really like, we watched the first episode last night, and we were both like, oh, this is sweet. Like, I like this guy. This is kind of silly.

There's a pooping scene right away at the very beginning that really sets the stage. A pooping scene? A pooping scene. Okay. You're like, like out of nowhere, you're just like, oh, that's the kind of show this is. Okay.

All right. Okay. All right. I'm on board. Now I know what flavor we're playing with. This is a little different. I dug it. And then I caught all the way up on Fallout.

Fallout 2. I like that too. But once again, I wish that I could binge it. I wish it was all out and one big thing. So I could watch it all together. I liked Fallout season one. And I can't explain why Fallout season two sucks for me. I haven't stayed awake through the last three episodes.

I that fucking show is better than melatonin for me it's like fucking do something in your show oh my god nothing happens they just mosey from place to place fucking cunt dumb fuck she can never make a good decision i swear to god she'll see a ghoul with a missing nose and a knife at her throat and she's like well maybe we can still be friends dumb ass this person doesn't want to be your friend. I get it. You're naive. You were raised in a place around nice people and you're not accustomed to this level of cruelty. Catch on. Catch on. You should have caught on after the second time he almost died. I've lost track of how many dumb fuck decisions you've made so far. But it's lost its grip on any kind of believability. And I get it. It's fantasy. But this girl who I like so much,

I now can't stand because her level of dumb fuckery is all. off the charts and I just fall asleep. I don't know. It's a, a damning review. I'm digging it big time because obviously I played the games and I, and I'm just watching and seeing all these Easter eggs and all of these perfectly duplicated sets.

Like when they walk through through Freaside, it's like, oh my God, I know where everything is. Like I already know where everything is because they built this, they made this TV show to exactly mirror like the locations of the, thing you're in a small town it's like okay there's that store and there's that store there's gomorah there's the there's the um the the the the um the um the um the luxor like like there's all

the places that i've spent hundreds of hours like walking back and forth across that street i know everything is that to me is great um when we got to kaiser's legion and they made fun of the fact that they didn't understand the soft sea it's caesar's you you guys know that right it's Kaiser? Do they call it that in the game? Kaiser? Yeah, because it's hundreds of years since a book existed, so there's just this sort of tale of Caesar's Legion that they've based their post-apocalyptic group

What's their level of knowledge about like Caesar and Rome? Like if that was their, if they're like larping is that? Like, do they even know anything about it? Or they just like, word of mouth know that some civilization used to exist? They call themselves the Legion. They call their leader Kaiser and they use Roman like ranks like Legate and and Centurion and stuff like that. They wear like quasi Roman garb. Like it's a lot of like hockey pads mixed with like hockey pads and football pads mixed with like Roman like red robes and stuff like that and they crucify

and dominate people basically and enslave and rape and stuff like that. That seems to be their the beginning and end of their knowledge of the Roman Empire. So they're not, they're not like really into, you know, Octavians influence on Western statecraft. Like they're not, no,

not even a little. They're more interested in like crucifixion methods. And then McCulley Calkin came out of nowhere. And I was like, oh my God, it's McCulley Calkin. This is great. I love him.

I thought he did a good job. Yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah. He's a good actor. It wasn't like Walter White like role.

that would allow someone to really, really shine. But I was like, you know, I know he's a child actor, but he's an actor actor. I give him my thumbs up. Is he the leader of the? He was in the leadership, but not the top guy. Yeah. Looks like he has a real armor suit. Yeah, yeah.

When you see him and you're like, oh, my God, this guy looks impressive. And then he takes the mask off and it's McCulley Calkin. It's great. But yeah, I agree with you. What do it? Like, I get where it could be slow. and like you said you mentioned it's walking from one place to another

and it's like that's what fallout is there's a lot of like wandering from one place to another and like getting into these like little weird encounters one of the things I really like is the brother of steel guy the black character he's acting and he's written as a character

as an RPG character who has stats like a special system so his intelligence is clearly low like not just not in the same way that Lucy's is. Like Lucy does do dumb things, but she's not a dumb person. It's her naivety and her like never-ending belief in the good and everyone that gets her into trouble. The Black Brother of Steel guy is literally a dumb-dum.

Like you can see like not a lot's going on behind those eyes. He's kind of like blank and slow and oh, maybe I'll kill him if you want. They're like, ha! the opinion of a sword let's listen to what the sword thinks we'll kill him will we well then what will happen we'll create a civil war you even besittle

get out of here that's not a problem for him he's got an armist dude not at a time you know he's not invincible Kyle of course is right he is dumb but not in the same way that she is and that there's a scene in the season one

where they're on a bridge and there's two strangers that they bump into And they're like, do you have a gun? And they're like, no. And he's like, yeah, neither do we. Both sides have guns. And naive dumb ass is like, why would you lie to them?

But he's like, that's pretty close to how it. So yeah, he's dumb, but he's not without his charms. I would treat. I were in the fallout world. I would choose my allegiance as exactly as I did in the video game. Who has the coolest stuff? Who has the best hang out? who will provide me with the most badass weaponry.

Is there anyone that can compete with the Brotherhood of Steel there? Anybody else handing out power suits? The enclave. What would the better option be? The enclave would probably be the most like safe and secure and powerful option. They're like the remnants of the U.S. government. So like they're the last like Americans. They're the rent.

Huh? Where are they? like all over the country in little enclaves hmm okay do they give you power suits or yeah yeah the best power suit oh okay well then I guess I'd join them I definitely wouldn't join these like I wouldn't join these Larpie Romans because like that that seems silly I wouldn't

you know I'm gonna go through years of like hockey pads before I can eventually get a metal suit that's not even power armor no thanks that's yeah I'm not joining that underground railroad those losers those fucking idiots they Functioning fallout shelters are pretty good place. Like, they just have simple, peaceful lives where they kind of get married, have kids, grow crops. They're all very nice to each other.

I mean, a little cousin's stuff, you know, many port in the storm. Yeah. They're living with their shame. What about the Institute? There's a part we don't want to hang out. Lucy tells that to the Roman guy. She's just like, they're like, we're just trying to decide who gets the right of prima nocta. And she's like, prima, that's terrible.

And I'll have you know, I'm no longer a virgin. And that's not even counting all the cousin stuff I did. And they're like, ew. And the next time you see her, she's literally crucified. She should have kept that cousin stuff close to the chest. Yeah, yeah, there's not a lot of options down there in the vault. I would need to see the sunlight. Like I couldn't live in that vault for forever.

I would want to be up top side somewhere. Really? Of every person I know, I think you would excel in a sunless vault better than anyone. What he would lose? Woody would be like pacing back and forth? Like, what day is it? And it's like, first of all, it's day one, it's 3.30 p.m. How long has it been? I would need some fresh air and like a sunrise or like at least like a skyline.

occasionally some stars. The thing is we're not talking about like a Georgia sunset. We're talking about a radioactive wasteland with killers and murderers. Beautiful. No, it's not beautiful. Well, it's a little beautiful.

I think that brown desert shit is beautiful for a day or two. And then you realize just how ugly it is. But they've been living in that hole their whole lives. You know, like Lucy had never seen the sun before. She'd never seen the ocean before or a star.

or like felt the wind on her skin. So I don't know. I wouldn't want that either. I mean, but yeah, I don't have any great choices, but I'll take cousin stuff over ghoul stuff. Yeah,

I'll take cousin stuff over ghoul stuff too. Ten times out of ten. My cousins are ugly too. Really? Yeah. What if they listen to this? That's not kind. They don't.

You're fucking, ugly cousins. I'll listen. Ugly-ass cousin. What's she going to do? What's she going to do to me? Yeah. I don't fuck you. She's not going to fuck you now.

Nah, good, good. Mission accomplished. I've been watching another show called Falling Skies. It was on between 2011 and 2015, and it's basically walking dead, but aliens. Aliens came, they hit the whole earth with EMPs, took out all the electronics, then they neutron bombed all the capital cities,

killed billions of people, and now we are the resistance. And we're just a rag-tag. It's very much like the revolutionary war. We're in like the second Massachusetts like colonial army or some shit at this point running around AKs and like pickup trucks and 50 cows just fighting the alien menace.

This sounds good. A couple questions. Is this a TV show that like they normally have commercials? Okay. Where are you watching it? It's all out. I'm watching it on Amazon Prime, I think. I think I'm watching it on Prime.

It originally was on TNT back in the day. And I will say this. If you remember from Battlestar Galactica how bad the CGI on the robots was at times, this is worse. Okay, okay. I think when I first watched Battlestar Galactica, Battlestar Galactica,

my expectations were low enough that it worked. They need to be lower when you go in. In the second season, things look a little bit better. So basically the alien hierarchy. Real quick before you tell the alien hierarchy, please look at our group chat. Please. I won't. I won't. I won't. I know is breaking down exactly what the drafts or what the teams or whatever.

Chis's trade suggestions had made it on to the local sports show. I don't fucking care. Get out of here. He's still typing. I love it. People need hobbies and passions. That's good for me. And he doesn't even know about this. He doesn't know that this is just to mock me. I'm a little interested. Look, I like the Kings as like a second team.

I don't have any teams that are competitive, really. So I don't know. I just wonder if they'll be competitive again. He has a 7-foot-1 Frenchman from Stanford. He's a rocket scientist. That's a cool basketball player. Yeah. I mean, I don't give a shit about basketball,

so I hope the Kings do well because, you know, I couldn't even name 10 other teams. Oh, did you watch that movie, Kyle, the long walk? Yes. I didn't watch the movie, but I read the book a couple nights ago. And I have a hard time, I enjoyed the book, but I have a hard time picturing how this is going to get turned into a film well. Certainly it doesn't have enough meat to be like a miniseries. It would have to be a movie.

It's not any minutes. And then Chis told me it was really good. And so I was curious what you thought. The movie's okay. I don't know if Chis has seen the movie. I didn't think he had. Oh, maybe he just sent me the IMDB or the ratings page or whatever. I recommended it to him the other day after I watched it.

He told me the book was good. I bought the book. I haven't read the book, but I did watch the movie. Mark Hamill plays the colonel or whatever. The major. Okay, major. And it's another one of those Stephen King movies that sort of post-apocalyptic United States. And basically, it looks like the year is maybe 1970 or something.

and the U.S. is kind of on its knees after a global conflict, and they have this sort of battle royale type situation where they just pick a boy from each state to go on the long walk, and you have to stay at three and a half miles per hour on this one stretch of road as a group being followed and filmed and live cast by the army, and if you ever fall below that speed, you get a warning, and if you get three warnings, they shoot you in the head.

If you try to run away, they shoot you in the head. If you try to do something you shouldn't do, they shoot you in the head. And it's just like go until there's one left. And the guy who's left gets any wish he wants and like a million Amera credits. And, you know, their life has changed. It was okay. You know, it was one of those movies where at the end, I wasn't sure if it was a good movie or not. I guess I'm glad I watched it.

I didn't feel like my time was wasted. like I do sometimes when I watch an actually shitty movie. But at the same time, there weren't very many cathartic moments. There wasn't much in watching it where I was like, oh, that was pretty cool. It was more like, oh, that's sad. Oh, that's terrible. Yeah. Oh, poor guy.

Like, the one guy gets diarrhea and he's just like shitting. That's a warning. And he's like, ah! And he pulls his pants up and jogs a little. And he's got to shit again. And he's just like actively shitting in the road as he goes. And they're all going, just shit. your pants, man. Just shit your pants.

He's like, ah! And he takes another like liquid shit, like, right in the road. And then they blow his brains out. And you're like, fuck. Shoulda shit his pants. It doesn't sound like a good show. It doesn't say, like, I'm not, it's not appealing to me. See, the thing with it is the, the premise, like, it's Stephen King classic. He sets up a really interesting, like,

because this is what I think, like, a world in which this sort of event annually makes sense and is some pastime is a really interesting world that I want to learn more about and we don't get a view into that. We only get like little pieces here and there that it is a different future because there's like throwaway reference to like the the axis bombings of the American East Coast in the war or like things like that. But the frustrating part is that there's no incentive for it to happen. You know, like the major doesn't put enough, you know, umph into it first of all mark hamill terrible casting that is not what i was picturing and i was reading

that book at all i pictured a much scarier guy much more like clean very gruff and very gross okay well then maybe he's a voice actor so maybe he does a very good job oh yeah they just uh and then the end of it was disappointing because not spoilers but it ends as many stephen king books do which is a bit open ended the final guy who survives it's just like you know it's basically him surviving and then it doesn't even play through the end game because the rumor the whole time you know Some of the kids were like, are you serious? The reason we're all here is because we all kind of wanted to kill ourselves. We hate ourselves.

We want to die. The main characters having like internal monologues about how he got molested by his cousin and had like gay experiences with his cousin. And he's like, this road is tough. It's a really tough road. Me and my cousin touched dicks when we were a little. I didn't like it.

Man, I really, my feet hurt. Oh, yeah. Bloody feet and shoes falling apart because they go for days. The whole book is just kids dying slowly. Like, it is. Yeah, and it's all in real time. If you want to watch a book that's more like, one that's more like what you described is the running man. Obviously, they made the cheesy Arnold Schwarzenegger movie back in the day.

The premise of the running man is, again, future dystopic. And there is a game show where if you want to dig yourself out of, you know, poverty and the lack of medical supplies for your family and you're desperate enough, you can go on the running man show. and they hunt you down and try to kill you but if you survive long enough you get a huge cash prize it's life changing they made a new one like it just came out the new running man movie I can't think of that actor's name but if you saw him you'd be like oh that guy okay and they tweet the story a little bit

they gave him a black wife of course and and he's basically he has to survive for 30 days now and the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie it was it was rather different you were just kind of in an arena and without going into it. It was just a different story. It's like a good action movie. It's a fine action movie.

Like it's popcorn action movie. Lots of explosions and silly moments and swinging out of windows and blowing up buildings. So I've never done creative writing, really, except for a few mandated things in school. Is it a lot easier to come up with banger premises than endings? because Stephen King has made a career out of premises. When I think of the TV show from, oh my God, that premise was a banger.

And we all just gave up on it because they couldn't get to an ending. It's still like that, by the way. I saw a meme today about how like, they were like from season 17 and they like age them all. And it's like, we still don't know what the fuck's going on here.

What hell's going on in this? Lost. The TV show lost every week was another like trailer for a movie I'd like to see. And then they just changed it to some other thing. And they never tied all those things together. What's with Walters, Superpowers and the polar bears and the monster.

And this and that. So much unexplained. And I'm like, man, maybe it's just easier to come up with the bangor premise than finish a story. For sure. I think it definitely is. Yeah. I think it definitely is because we see it time and time again.

I mean, I agree. As much as I love Stephen King, when you get to the end, you're rarely blown away. Now, I did like the ending of 1122-62-63, but it is a blasé ending. You have to care more about the sweet love story in its end than the JFK stuff because the JFK stuff ends. Oh, I would not. I would care more about the JFK stuff. I went in caring more about the JFK stuff, but by the end, I'm like, save the girl. Fuck the president.

Like, you got to save your girl. Like, he falls in love with this woman. It's this beautiful romance in the 60s where he's a time traveler and she doesn't know it. and I really love that book. The TV shows out now on, it's been out for years, but it's on Netflix now. James Franco plays the main character.

There's like eight or ten episodes. It's pretty good too. If you don't want to trudge through 1122, 62, 63 of the book. My girlfriend reads a lot, like she has a library in our house. And I was like, when we first met, I was like,

she's like talking about her favorite books and her favorite books, she's in these big, like, lady witchcraft and wizardry like medieval like fantasy novel there's like 13 books in each series and she's got them all and she's got the signed copies and shit all these hard copies and I'm like you should read my favorite book 1122 63 I get her I give her my prison copy

she made it like a quarter of the way in she's like I just don't like Stephen King and I was almost left I don't know this is working almost left you just because of that I was so I don't know this book's about the 60s and Kennedy but I'm like 11 pages into like a kid sex scene it seems it's really out of left field dude I want to recommend a book for her now

like I wonder if she liked the sci-fi stuff I like you said sci-fi right fantasy hmm oh if she read uh if she likes those super long series has she read any r a salvatore does she have that on her bookshelf I have no idea what does he write He writes,

No, no. He's, Ari Salvatore writes like fantasy following like a dark elf character through a fantasy world with all the

very Lord of the Ringsie as far as flavor goes but it's good it's an easy easy read. No, she's, I don't read her books but just kind of

looking at the bookshelves it seems to be a lot of fantasy with like lady protagonists and medieval fantastical worlds with magic and I don't know some archer very Tolkien-esque type

lady fantasy I think but I don't I don't really know for sure I know it has lady authors too what about like HP Lovecraft I mean I make her watch all the HP Lovecraft movies like those are my favorite cosmic horror is my favorite subgenre by far and so anything like the void or in the mouth of madness we just watched in the mouth of madness this week she'd never seen that one

for with Sam Neal, all of that stuff we watch. And she likes it, like Mandy or Color Out of Space, all those. Day gone. She'd probably like Lovecraft's short stories then. She likes it. They sell a big compend, like a giant compilation of them called The Necronomicon. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm familiar. I think she likes these big books series and like specific characters within them.

But again, she has three fucking bookcases full of books. I don't know how much money she has in books, but it's got to be considerable at this point. It's thousands of dollars. Well, have you given her books a fair shake? No, absolutely not. I'm very particular about what I like and what I get into and what I like devote my attention toward.

And it's going to be, it's usually going to be, it's going to be something that I found and that's something that I found interesting. it's not going to be so it's hard to get me into something if i'm not already wanting to be there that the 40k stuff's a good example like there's i like that i'm never going to run out of 40k content like i could read a book a day for for weeks and for years and still there'd still be more but how long will it be quality like because with the world that big some of the authors are going to be trash most just numbers wise most authors are bad they are way more bad than good they have like three or four

main authors, like Guy Haley comes to mind. He's really good that they, that the black libraries it's called, like draws from. I haven't read a novel yet that I was like, this guy, the way he does point of view characters or the way he describes scenery, it's just not for me.

I've never had that be my issue. If anything, I'd be like, I just don't care about these characters. Like, their story doesn't interest me in particular, or this part of the timeline doesn't interest me. But they do a good job at writing. high quality novels I feel like I like all the stuff I've read yeah I looked at I've written a ton of Warhammer shit yeah guy Haley that that's probably the the most I've read more of his stuff than any of the other was other authors I the way you talk about

40k makes me ready for it to be the next marvel like cinematic universe where Henry Cavill leads and does something banger I just been waiting too long I mean it Didn't he start that shit like five years ago? And so far we have nothing. Well, it was years ago. They had to give an update because of their earnings report. Apparently it's in Amazon's hands now.

I think that they've agreed on like what the creative's going to be. It was bound to be a long process no matter what because you had to begin with, this is Henry. He likes 40K. This is games workshop. They own 40K. And this is Amazon. We're going to produce along with our like partners and create.

this TV show. And so they had to sit down and come up with, what's the show going to be? Because the universe is so vast. I like to compare it to the Bible. And it's like, are we doing Old Testament or New Testament? Because 40K is split up like that. There's the Old Testament and there's the New Testament. And the New Testament is, it ends, like the bleeding edge of the New Testament,

is sort of current events that are transpiring and progressing right now. I don't accept the long process thing. Remember we had that producer who couldn't tell us what a producer does on the show. And he worked on that what might be the worst TV show I've ever seen in my lifetime for 12 years that he was in. And I was like 12 years. Like what did you do on it? I can hardly imagine something that takes 12 years. And of course, he couldn't describe what he was doing. That's how he didn't want to describe it. What he's doing is raising funding. And he's an

he's the type of producer who is a creative investor. That's what he what's what he could formula. I'm a creative investor. I am financing this thing, raising money for this thing, promoting it to keep that going, and I'm involved with creative. But for some reason, he could, like, localize that?

I hate you that guy. It was crazy. It was like talking to an alien, trying to pretend that like in his first day in a body that he was like getting along. He was like, what do they do? Ask friendly questions. Don't respond. You like gaming?

But where they are now with the 40K show is they've agreed on a creative, like they know what they're going to do. But now it has to be written. And then once it's written, then they have to start pre-production and casting and actually film and produce this show. And all those things, like each of those things takes a year.

It's going to be two and a half more years. What they've done is nothing. And here's what I'm thinking. I have been on so many software projects. I couldn't tell you how many, a lot. And the first part of every software project is kind of agreeing what the project is going to do some of the business deliverables. That part has never been late in my entire fucking career. All you're doing is agreeing to shit that you're not really locked into.

Bam, nailed it. On time, every time, 100% success rate from the day I was born to the business. I'd never miss that. It's actually delivering software that people want. That's the hard part. So what did these guys do? They agreed to what the creative it is, creative is at a high level.

That's huge, though. I don't think so. It'll change. All right, so here's an example of what the creative could be. We could do the Horace heresy. That's the sort of Lucifer's rebellion against God, if we're doing the parallels. The war in heaven,

where a third of the heavenly host rebels against the rest. and we had this colossal war that lasts for 10 or 12 years or whatever, and half the galaxy burns. Or we could do Jesus. They agreed to the three bullet points that will eventually be expanded to more bullet points on a script. That'll be an outline, and then that outline will be a script. The slight choosing an area, the script could get delivered, and they'll be like, you know what, we need to revisit that decision we made in the very beginning.

I don't like the script. No way. Oh, no. So it won't like that. Like they'll have to pick a character to focus on or a group to focus on the story. Again, it's like the Bible. Who owns it? Is it Amazon?

Yes. Because like I said, you could do a show about King. If you're going to make a Canaan Abel show, then Jesus isn't going to come into it at any point. Like they're so far apart and completely different, even though they're part of the same book and the same story that they're not going to be in the same. The discussion is whether they're going to focus on. like the Eisenhorn character where they're going to focus on the prime arcs or the emperor, how are they going to tell this massive story or if they're going to do some very small like squad story, like nailing that down.

I don't think there's progress until there's casting and shooting until they get to the irreversible stuff. Taylor said if Amazon's bad and one of my personality flaws is I hear stuff like that, and I try to like find out exceptions. Is anything good on Amazon? They must have done something. I'm trying to think what they, and I mean, you guys

are... The boys? The boys are invincible. The boys I didn't like. And so the boys for me is a negative because I didn't like that show. Lord of the Rings is depressing what they did to that.

Well, hang on. The reason you don't like Lord of the Rings, though, and I'm with you, is because of their departure from lore. From what I hear, the production values and some of the CGM stuff are fantastic visuals. Their armor looks much worse than the

original movies. It looks alike. I would expect it to. You know the history of the Weta Workshop and why that's a very unique thing in production. The Weta Workshop really poisoned the well for future Lord of the Rings content by knocking it out of the park too well. They have multiple years of pre-production. You know, and that's what you've watched the special features. Those two British

guys who are like, I spend we spent eight years in here putting chain mail together. We've changed my topic, though. We've dug deep into one that I think we all agree is not their best example. I think the boys is good, but I accept that it's not Taylor's Cup of Tea. Invincible, I think everyone who gives it a try likes it. So is that their best, though?

Is that what they're going to hang their hat on, this cartoon? Fallout, I'm not the one who's going to make an argument that fallout is good. Oh, they did from too. As far as something. From. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Kyle, my question for you, what is the show that switched to Amazon when it got canceled?

It's about space. Yes, thank you. Did it get better with Amazon? Yes, better production values. It was on sci-fi before and they canceled after two, maybe three seasons, and then Amazon picked it up for four maybe three seasons, depending on which is which. And the production values increased.

They had more money to go around, like the visuals got better. Yeah, I think it's... Maybe that's our shining example. of Amazon getting something right. Well, I think that Fallout, like, you may not like what's happening, but it's for a guy who's like a fan of the games, it's perfect. I couldn't ask for a better adaptation

because there's been so, I don't know if you saw the old Doom movie back in the day with The Rock and Carl Urban, but it's like, this isn't Doom. This isn't what Doom's about. Like, no, you're, I've played Doom. Like, aren't you trying to get people who like Doom to watch,

your Doom movie? You're spitting in our face. But with Fallout, you might not like how slow it is or maybe some character choices or whatever, but it's a perfect adaptation. It's paying so much homage to the original and there's so many Easter eggs.

And it's not just member berries. It's not just fan service. It's a concerted effort to stay true to the source material. Like whoever's making this loves Fallout. And that's good. But like as as someone who has played Fallout 4

and I'm not in the universe at all like season one to me was like a good popcorn show like I wasn't that invested kept me entertained but it is not a show like Chernobyl that I'm going to revisit in a couple years and be like

oh my God I forgot about Chernobyl this show rocks and then like rewatch that mini series or rewatching the Sopranos like I'll never rewatch fallout season one it was probably fine but it's not like it's not a half hang your hat level

show. Well, it's not meant to be. It's not meant to be some Emmy winning drama as much as it is just an incredibly faithful adaptation of a video game. And there's been so many bad ones. Like I said, like, they did an Assassin's Creed movie that was awful with, there's been so many. Do you remember that old Assassin's Creed Super 64 YouTube channel where the guy dressed up and he would go to cons and he would

like aggressively push people out of the way? in the game you like shove people out of your way and you walk towards crowds just to bother people that was very funny oh old old YouTube what's the best video game TV show it might be fallout I have um last of us in my head last of us I liked at the time but then upon reflection

I upon reflection I was like last of a season one three out of the eight episodes were good whatever it was I think we were more excited for it after like episode one and then that kept us going because then it was like wait you know that that first gay episode was actually very touching why do we have another gay episode i'd really love to get back to the fungus monsters if we could the problem is that bella ramsie actress is so bad at her job i think she's a bad actress i don't think she emotes well and i think she's hard to look at so so like if she were prettier i might be able to let some bad acting go but she's so

ugly with those black eyes like a doll's eyes like fucking fucking shark eyes i remind me to talk about shark attacks because there's been like a fucking flurry of them but anyway it she's so uggo and so bad at her job that i'm there for pedro pascal and zombies and once you take pedro pascal out now i'm just here for the zombies and this uhgo girl i didn't watch season two so let me at her i think she's Hollywood ugly, but she wouldn't stand out as ugly if I saw her at the grocery store. She's not a freak show, but she's also like an ugly

person. She's a, she's a four. She's a, she's an ugo. She has like, uh, she has like cloned face. Like she was cloned. I think if your body fats and check, your minimum score is like a six.

That's false. Okay. She's just, uh, she's just, uh, she's just, uh, she's just, just an ugly person and and I'm sure she's a wonderful human but she's an ugly fucking person

you know who I took a while to warm up to like visually um is her name Macy Williams from Game of Thrones yes are yeah when I saw her in Game of Thrones I always thought she was kind of ugly and like but then I saw in some other roles doctor who and such and I was like you know what she's actually kind of pretty I just never saw it she's kind of cute yeah she was getting blown out standing next to Sansa. There's a rough comp. I ever thought Sansa was that hot.

Like clearly hotter than Macy, but still. That actress is getting a new show. So they're going back to the Game of Thrones well hard and heavy. The talk is now, I think they're in production

making an Aria spinoff show where we're going to see what Aria's up to now in the undying lands or wherever she sailed off to. I think that's being made right now. See, if you told me this eight years ago, I don't hate that. No, because Aria, Aria was probably in my top four favorite chapters, like when I would

turn to a new chapter when I was reading. Aria. If you'd hear Aria, John, Jamie, who else? Who else had the sick chapter? I like Tyrion. I always like Trian. It's always the awesome ones. But, like, I always got stoked.

The worst is when you'd see Sansa. You're like, oh, God. Or Brian. Oh, my God. the Breanne chapters. It's like I get the gist. Come on. I'm going to get through to the other side. Yeah, I would be stoked on it if you told me this eight years ago, but I just have no confidence in these guys anymore. Well, it's different guys. That's the thing.

Oh, I thought you meant it was the David and... Fuck, no. I don't watch anything they do. If they're attached to anything, I like boycott it. I'm a one-man fucking protest over here, change the channel. I thought they were running back to the Game of Thrones well because the Star Wars. No, no, no, no. Like HBO is. HBO is. And then I've heard, like,

I've seen a lot of like, GRMM news lately, whatever his name is, the author. He's, there was some talk that he's been working with the expanse creators to like fill them in on,

like how to carry on his, his book. Like, like the, the expanse writer, like the novels. There's been some talk that he was talking to him or them

about, you know, where Game of Thrones is heading, Winds of Winter, and the next book after that, like giving them an outline. And the guess is that maybe he's hoping they'll carry on for him after he dies. But then I saw a statement from him like a week later, like, yeah, there's actually no backup plan. If I die, that's it. Which is what you would say anyway, I guess, in that situation.

But what a thing is weird. It's not a TV show idea. this is a real life idea. Kathy Bates gets George R.R. Martin in a house and then destroys both his ankles until he finishes

Game of Thrones. She reads his latest copy, latest chapter. What fuck is this? Fucking, Denaris goes crazy and kills him. Fucking starts ripping it up. You listen to me.

I can't wait to read this. You listen to me. What happened to the prophecy? Are you Kills the Night King? She's got the hammer. Annie, Danny Denaries has to change.

Whack! We need Kathy Bates to help us out. Whose story's better than it's bronze? Huh? Whack! That movie is awesome. That's such a good movie. I love Kathy Bates as an actress.

She's great. Yeah, it's another Rob Reiner movie, rest in peace. I didn't know that. She killed it. that role. Yeah, she's tremendous. He is a, it's almost like a Philip Seymour Hoffman thing where I didn't appreciate how many bangers he had until he was gone. Yeah. He was the thing like James Conn's great in that movie too. Like he looked scared like I didn't know that Rimer had so many like great

movies into 80s and stuff like I just knew of him like in modern day of like oh that's like a guy used to make movies didn't really know. Now he's a political commentator. Yeah, now he like does politics, but like people say he needs to make great movies. But yeah, I was surprised when I saw the list. Like, oh, these are like classics. Yeah, he didn't miss for years. Yeah. Good for it.

Dude, the, the pictures of his son with him, like on the red carpet with those eyes, like, it was really sad. I don't know if you guys watched an interview with him and his son. Like, they made a movie about his son's, like, drug problems. I saw the dream. And it, it was just. It was so sad because it's like a dad clearly trying to do what he thinks is best, but like what you think is best isn't always what's best.

Like it's an impossibility. But he's clearly trying to like build bridges and mend things. And his son just looks like out of it, even during the interview, like not fully engaged. With addiction, it's easy to be like, what you're doing is wrong. Oh, yeah. Show me the path that's perfect. Show me the perfect path to help this person out of addiction issues. It's not apparent to anybody.

Yeah, I don't know. It's hard. A friend of mine's son has addiction issues like that. He sent him to rehab twice. He always comes back, this perfect person, and then it doesn't stick. And, you know, when his son is socially isolated from people that were bad influences, well, that's an unhappy life for him now. and just can't seem to like hold down a job and get on this path to success.

And it, I don't know. He keeps falling into bad habits. And I'm like, man, I wish I knew what was right. So I got to blow those boats up. So I got to blow those boats up in the Caribbean. That'll solve it. We got to keep marijuana out of Europe. Then we'd still have.

Dude, he's serious about. Oh, Riner. Dude, Greenland's shit. I he's serious I see I'm all for Greenland train there was a time where I was like you know if we can buy it and then there's wind for everybody then still there I they don't want to sell they don't and his approach to them not wanting to sell seems to be threatening violence and I'm like this is just all you're going to do is not get Greenland leave a terrible scar destroyed

NATO this is China and Russia's biggest gift the most powerful alliance will be broken. What'd you say? I thought Greenland left NATO. They're in via... Yeah, Denmark is a founding member of NATO. Yes. Denmark is, but I thought Greenland...

They owned Greenland. Yes, as a territory. Yes. It's my understanding Greenland's part of NATO. I think that's like a big part of this whole thing. Yeah. Yeah, just like if they were to attack Puerto Rico, you know, if we can't buy it, then I really don't give up.

would much rather see him focus on domestic stuff anyway. He is laser-focused on creating an American empire, it would seem. I saw that photo of him planting the flag on the CIA, obviously, of him planting the American flag on Greenland with Rubio and Vance, who's about to be the father again, congratulations. And then I saw another one where he's like in the Oval, again, AI, with all the European leaders like around the Oval, around the Resolute Desk. And he's got a map that has the United States, Canada, Greenland, and Venezuela with the American flag. Where was Cuba on that? Do you remember?

They were still good. They were still, you know. They were still in the next. We had gotten to them yet. Yeah. Yeah. I see that. And dude, the Canada stuff was kind of a joke. I'll, L.O. America's top hat, whatever, whatever. Now it feels like Greenland's step one to surrounding Canada somehow. and bro, it was better when we were friends. I would prefer to be friends.

I don't want to steal Greenland. But I do want Greenland. And I tell you what? They're warming up to China. We'll shut that right down. Well, they're allowed to be a war. No, it won't be a war. We'll just cripple them economically.

Then China will be tried that against China. They have more exports than they did when we were buying. Canada is not China. Well, China is. new partner. Yeah. They're allowing Chinese EVs in and I think they're taking Canadian canola oil or something. They basically reset their tariffs with Canada and started fresh now that we've left this gaping hole there for them to slide into. Which is what they're going to continue to do. I was super against like stealing Greenland until I saw that video today of the Greenlanders mocking us and they're all pretending like they're on fentanyl and they're bent over. It's a bunch of Greenlanders in the fucking snow

bent over like they're on fint Like like almost touching their toes You've seen it in Philly probably And I went I saw that and I went Take it I saw it all It's so funny that like I can take a joke

That's funny I like it I like it America was exporting its culture to Greenland And they were like Bent zombies It's funny Yep They'll like our cultural export

when it's a fucking missile they'll really like that yeah no no violence is going to happen in Greenland it's a pretend it's not a real country it's 57,000 people who are entirely European and all those all ever weakening European member of NATO like it is funny watching

great power politics and politics like geopolitics play out and people like screech about rules and things where they're like but Greenland doesn't want to be bought and it's like fascinating that's not how things like this go though like you can have talks all day about morality right wrong but like it is not historically cohesive like it's never been a thing where countries are like

the roman empire didn't go into great britain with hadrian and go oh guys we got to turn around these guys don't want us here these guys these way weaker people with like no state structure and no technology they don't want us here we got to kick up we got to go we don't want what's the alternative guys being mean. Like that's not how politics has ever played out. And so like if you have to make a right argument, it's, well, when you elect a rapist, it's no surprise that they're not concerned about the other person's consent. Do you see the guy in Denmark say that?

That's like a glib like CNN. It's perfect. It's exactly what we're seeing. We're seeing a person who doesn't really care about Greenland's consent. He doesn't take no for an answer. He just grabs what he wants and thinks he can get away with it. see yeah i'm not saying it's right i'm saying that the united states can grab what we want like you can say it's wrong but if we want something at least at this point in our global

ejamony we can take it that right or wrong we'll see right like we're watching Canada and everyone's running into china's arms right now yeah i don't know what's going to it's silly for Canada to think that they're going to have better luck with China than the United States. And if it like, and if we at any point thought China or Canada was like jeopardizing our national security via two close relations with China, we would shut it down. That's how great power politics operates. You could annex Canada. Like great. Like the Canada is not a real good. Like Europe and Canada don't have real militaries. I mean, neither did Iraq. Neither did Vietnam. Yeah, they did. Iraq had fourth largest army in the world.

That is not how they beat us or got us out of there. They got us out of there just by being persistent guerrilla warfare, IEDs, etc. That's how Vietnam got us out of there. We didn't lose a battle in Vietnam, mostly. But we lost the war. How about Afghanistan? Did we lose lots of battles in Afghanistan? Or did they just push back enough that we lost that too?

Yeah. And then this idea that we can't possibly beat Canada? Dude, how many times do we have to play this song? before we realize, it's pretty hard to take over someone's country. No, it's really easy to take over their country. It's really difficult to engage in nation building over the course of 20 years with Stone Age cave dwellers who have no interest in it and are engaged in a 2,000 year-long ethnic conquest of genocide against their neighbors.

Like that's totally different than Canada or Venezuela or Greenland. Like, we fucked ourselves in those Middle Eastern wars by remaining engaged in doing this nation building, which seemingly was just a way to like launder money to powerful people and military industrial companies. I'm not buying it. I'm not buying that it's that easy to occupy another country because I can't recall it really happening successfully. Russia is struggling with that in Ukraine right now,

and we all laugh at them. LOL, you're so terrible at this. If it was us, we would win. Really? Based on what? We'd have to occupy. Like, there would be no occupation. We wouldn't have to, like,

the idea that Canada could stop us from doing anything is insane. Like, they only... partners with China in this future. They are a country. We allow them to be one in the strictest sense. Like it is a lack of like we could, if we felt like it, take them today. Right. I mean, but that doesn't match up with our history with Afghanistan, Vietnam, with Iraq.

Like all these places are still standing. Right. They're different just because they're different. Like they're the same because they're the same. I could make the same counter argument. I elucid it pretty clearly. Totally different ethnic makeup, totally different cultural makeup. totally different religious makeup, totally different.

So white people can't fight wars? Is that like the ethnic makeup is the thing? White people are not going to fight an insurgency. They're going to be mad, they're going to protest, and then they're going to go back to work and cash their check. Oh, that sounds like Ukraine. Like white people are fighting an insurgency there, more or less. That's a little different.

That's not even an insurgency. That's a straight up boots on the ground war. That's a war. Like they're in a war. And they're fighting it. They're hiding in basements. I mean, they had a comfy of life. president because they have armed forces and because the United States and all of Europe is backing them.

I just don't think anybody's going. I don't think we should invade Canada. I don't think we should annex Canada either. No, I just don't think it's going to be easy. They always tell us it'll be easy. Greenland is liberators. Well, Greenland will be until it's not. Right? Like here's the thing about Greenland. There's, I think, 30 or 50,000 people. Most of them are Inuits. They're spread across. There are only 12 settlements with 1,000 people are more on the whole. It depends who you count as people. I have a very strict criteria. There's only like 12 there as far as I'm concerned. It's almost like when people mispronounce Kamala's

name. Like, oh, you're telling me about the propaganda you watch when they cut the population in half. You're telling me that your news sources are Fox News, News, Newsmax, whatever, whatever, because they cut the population in half. It's 57,000. And if you mispronounce Kamala, well, no, okay, now I see where you're getting

all your information because it's getting into your head with this pronunciation that they beat into it. I just read it that way. And again, where are you reading? Again, it's telling on yourself. I also listen to Joe Biden when he pronounced it that way. You know, like, he's my main news source for, for... I heard Prideon pronounce

his name, pronounce her name correctly all the time. I heard it. Wrong. Well, one time, did he? Like, it's... What I'm saying, you always get like a B in your bonnet about her name being pronounced. Like, it's you... I'm saying it's telling out of yourself. Be in your bonnet. That's very funny. I like that. I say it all the time. Like, I'm not

trying to target her. with some measure of disrespect, and I don't think that my mispronunciation of it is an indicator of me taking in so much propaganda that don't know what I'm talking about, which is what you're suggesting. I've seen a lot of... You intentionally said that you don't care about her name

that you'll pronounce it the way you want to. So the argument now that, like, ah, I'm not doing it disrespectfully, kind of falls flat when you said that you were. And my point is not that you're disrespecting Kamala. I don't care. I don't like her. Because it's fine.

Like, if I were not that... I would say at Kamala, But when you get certain things wrong, I'm like, oh, now I know the news he's taking it. Like he has the name pronunciation wrong. He has the population wrong. This tells me where he's getting informed. Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of examples of that.

Do you think there's any difference in 35,000 and 55,000 people? 57? It's not their defensive capability. It's where the information comes from that I'm pointing out. All right. Well, I guess that I don't have good enough information to discuss the topic with you. I'm just saying like it tells on yourself. If I was like, I don't know, I can't think of a parallel that like liberals intentionally get wrong all the time.

But if I had that as my talking point, it'd be like, oh, no, shucks, maybe I need to open my news horizon. Economic, economic benefit, cost benefit analysis of immigrants. That's something liberals who get their news from Reddit pretend to not know all the time, where they'll be like, actually a million Somalis in Ohio is good. They're more productive than they are otherwise. and it's like, no, they're not. There's data. There's dreams of it. These people are the lowest IQ population on earth.

They're entirely dependent. And they're like, no, no, no. But you don't understand. These people are voters for my team. Yeah. But they don't vote, right? Yeah, they do. Oh, yeah.

How do they vote without citizenship? I mean, you just live in any blue state and walk into a polling place and then cast a vote. They don't check ID. They found a bunch of them that were registered for jury. There's a reason that the Democrats. Well, now I feel like, why isn't that ever cost? It's an excellent. voter fraud thing is an excellent example it is this is an excellent example because people on the left

will often pretend that the idea of illegals voting is farcical there's no evidence of this and it's like yeah well it's largely happening in blue states where they make it illegal to collect evidence of it you just walk in you vote you don't show ID you don't have to prove your citizenship and then you leave the Minnesota has a vouch system I don't know if you know this Minnesota has a vouching system where one individual can vouch for eight other individuals to vote. This thing, I see conservatives do a lot. Like, well, sure, there's no evidence of it, but that's because evidence is hard to come by. I just know it in my gut to be true.

No, it's the evidence is that wanting voter ID is a actual, it's a super majority popular issue. It's like 8812 or 8614. And the Democrats, every time it comes up, use every ounce of political capital, every bit of will. They do. They scream from the rooftops. They say, no, this is against freedom. This will destroy our democracy. That's not what people do who aren't benefiting from this practice.

Yeah, it's like saying, hey, we reduced criminality and muggings to 0% in New York by legalizing and refusing to collect data on muggers. It's like, yeah. I don't push back against voter ID. I've always, I don't know people who don't have ID. To me, like everyone has ID. Yeah, that's true. but I do push back against claims with no evidence and that's what we're seeing here. It's just like it feels made up.

Mike Lindell spent his fortune trying to find evidence and didn't find any. They're trying to get voter ID passed. It's actually in the Senate right now. It passed the House, I think. That's fine. I'm not arguing it's voter ID. It's fine with me. It reminds me, what was the other issue I just had in my head with the no evidence?

Shucks, I lost it. I'm too dumb to debate. The Putin-Trump collusion? there's no evidence of that that wasn't what I was going for I see what you're doing I know I'm being it's not hard to see that collusion by the way but um fuck there was the voter ID thing and I forget what the other was I've lost it but um it's like man there there's no evidence to it but I just know it in my gut and oh paid protesters that's a favorite one on the right they love to claim that all these protesters are paid to be there

but there really isn't any evidence to it. And the argument on both of these is that thousands of people, tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people are keeping a secret that they're really paid, that they're really voting. And it just never seems to ever get proven. I see the voter part is very different than the paid protester thing.

Because I've never been all in on that paid protester shit either. Like it just doesn't pass like the Occam's Razor thing. I don't know about them getting cash. I've never seen the evidence of that. But I've definitely seen that given support. You know, I see, I've seen like, I don't know about the truckloads of bricks and stuff that they talk about being dropped off either. But I have seen people show up with like a bunch of expensive gas masks with the goggles attached, you know, like those hazmat, like face things. Like just new in the box and like passing those out.

I don't know who's paying for that, how that, where that money's coming from. Because those things can't be cheap. Donors are probably NGOs. I don't know. Matching signs. I've seen matching signs. It's hard to pretend that someone didn't hand out of a bunch of. of signs. Yeah. So I'm not saying that. But the whole like people are paid to protest. Trump just

did it recently. Someone yelled shame. And this is after that woman was murdered in her car. And there was a protester there is like, shame, shame, shame. And Trump is like, that was a paid protester. She had an operatic voice. I might have mispronounce that word. The way that she so loud and so proud and said so persistent had to be paid. And I'm like, your standard. for proof are fucking imaginary. Operatic? Like he had a call him a shame like an opera singer? Yeah, I think I have that right.

I don't know if I'm... No, no, that's the right word. That's just a very weird way to describe someone yelling at you unless you think that they're yelling is beautiful. I don't like the civil abuses from ice. I don't like them roughen up that hung guy, that old man and dragging about the snow. And then when they realized they got the wrong guy, like, just driving him around for a while. kidnapping people asking

asking U.S. citizens for the papers on the street. He worked at Walmart. He was a citizen too. Target or something like that. I saw him driving him out. He's like, my name is Aguilar Garcia.

Help me. Take him. I'm a U.S. citizen. And they're like hauling him out. Oh, is that the guy that's on the officer and like the right past the automatic doors in the target?

I didn't see. They had him handcuffed and like four guys were carrying him like luggage. He wasn't hitting anybody. Anyway, what I'm saying is I don't like all that stuff. But at the same time, whenever I watch these videos, it's like, they're there. And there's the one viral clip where the guys like, we're here to get a pedophile. It's a convicted child rapist.

That's who we're here for, you know. That's who you're warning right now. And you listen in the background in every one of these videos. There is a cacophony of rape whistles, drums, symbols, horns, honking. People are screaming, run, ice is here. And it's like, if it were any. other law enforcement, like organization, and that was being done.

Nobody would have a hard time recognizing that what these people are doing should be against the law. It is against the law. Like, we're here to get a criminal. We're the cops. We, like, I know in some instances, they're just knocking on doors, apparently, again, I don't like any of that

stuff, but we're here to get a guy, and they're out there going, run, the cops are here, run. That's, and this is just, all of those whistles and the drums, like my anxiety watching on my phone is going up a little, and I can't imagine what it's like to be there and to have your head on a swivel. Like, I'm just trying to do my job. Nice has a well-earned PR problem. Yeah, they do. But I think that it's exacerbated by how many

people are, like, maybe the FBI wouldn't have such a gleaming image if every time they went to arrest somebody. It was under these circumstances with these people trying to get in the way, trying to stop them. I think they employed a lot of bullies. And when they beat up people who were already cuffed, put knees on their heads and pepper spray people who were cuffed on their feet and hands, like, and then they're pepper spraying them in the back of a car, I did. And like, I imagine for them to handcuff the feet, this person was probably pretty unruly.

but at this point they're hog tied and they're getting pepper sprayed and it feels like they're just delving out a little justice I'm not dealing out a little justice I haven't seen that but what I've seen a lot of

is that the crowd presses against the gates of the detention facility when they're trying to like take prisoners from there and move them to wherever they're going or whatever and they like try to body block the vehicles and stuff and so they come out with like a riot gang and push the crowd back and they're just pepper balling them pepper spraying them i saw this one guy

i'd never seen it before but it just shoots a big mist of of like cayenne pepper into his eyes like powder and he just like point blank goes poof and just just it looked like you took a double fistful of cayenne pepper and just threw it in the guy's face who had the weapon the ice guy or the protester guy the ice guy oh the ice has the pepper stuff yeah like the ice guy had a pepper gun and the protester grabbed. And this was very funny because Reddit had like 70,000 upvotes of a picture like that's totally misleading, like trying

to imply that this guy just walked up and shot him in the face. This guy, this protest or this rioter tried to steal his gun from him written house style. It didn't get taken because he had the strap on and then the guy pulls back and peppers him. That ties into one of my complaints about the left. They sometimes rally around

the wrong person. You know, like left, would you stop taking like a pedophile written house shot or I forget some of the details of the bad guys like george floyd or whatever like guys that i would never want to stick up for and then make them like on your mount rush more of victims like there are some good people who didn't deserve to be murdered rene good is probably one of one of the better examples um and just trying to kill in federal office right if you still believe that you're intentionally not looking at all the videos like

at this point it's frame by frame and everyone but maybe 15% of America sees that she was not trying to hit that cop and she wasn't in line to hit that cop and she didn't get that up. No, that's relevant though. She knew that she wasn't trying to hit him because he could see her turning the wheel. She deliberately

put his life at risk. She turned so she wouldn't hit him and she was right. She did hit him. No, he posted his hand on the car leaning forward. This is Trump's arrangement syndrome. What's funny is like, we could look at the video, Wall Street Journal in New York Times,

as soon as Chis saw the video, Chis was on your team the other day. And you and Chis were, we're probably not. Well, you guys were on the same team about the Renee Good thing. And then we linked him the video of her hitting the guy with the car. And he was like, oh, my bad. Well, clearly, that's a dumb bitch. Yeah, there's one grainy video that makes it look like that.

When you put them all together and see it frame by frame, it's clear. She didn't hit him. This is crazy. In my opinion, yeah. Yeah. You can see in the video. So I think the relevant thing and the reason it's a good shoot is in that moment, he definitely had reason to believe his life was being threatened by a woman in a car.

I saw the wheel turn too. And so that's why I think that she was not trying to kill him. I don't believe that's what she was trying to do. but I believe he had enough reason to believe that she was trying to kill him to shoot. Although the second two shots into the window, those are no good. And if there was some law or precedent that said that, like, that's a no-no and we need to punish that, I would punish that. And if there is a law or policy that says he shouldn't have been in front of her car to begin with

trying to body block her car and therefore he was in violation of protocol, I'd be in favor of punishing him for that. But I don't think that he murdered her. work. No, I don't think so at all. I'm somewhere in between you guys, I think on this. Because I definitely know, like you're somewhere in between. To me, it was very clear that she wasn't aggressive, right? What were her last words? I'm not mad at you. Not mad at you. But it was, you know, that was, you know, there was a big smile on her face. She was trying to disescalate, de-escalate. A manic smile. That's not true. She was, she had just pulled in front and was trying to block them

and had been doing this all day. She was like, no, she wasn't. She was. She was, trying to block them as evidence by the fact that she stuck her hand out the window and waved them by. We finally got at the bottom of that. She's not waving for the ice agents to go around. She's waving for another civilian to go around. Oh, that wasn't an ice agent. No, that was a there was a civilian. She stopped whole of traffic and she's waving like a car behind. And I just linked like the video that when we showed Chiz, he was like, yeah, he's clearly being hit by a car right there. Yeah, so I'm, I don't even think. I'm not further. I don't think I'm further out than you on this guy. I think we agree pretty much. which one to one, like, I don't think she was trying to murder him. I think that she was behaving in a way that put his life at risk deliberately.

She was reckless with her car, which is a deadly weapon, and she got shot, and the officer was justified in it. And all of this retconning and pretend that she was like, she had just stumbled or fish-tailed into the wrong place at the wrong time. That was the narrative. On the news and on Reddit, I check Reddit to see what that temperature is like, and it's insanity. and that's just not at all what reality was.

It is reality. I've seen four videos all time synced up. This video is the lowest quality of them all. And even in that, I can see him leading forward with his hand posted on her hood, which matches the cell phone footage, where you hear the clump of him pushing his hand on the hood. What's happening when he starts getting pushed back by the car?

His hand is posted on the hood. His feet are way to the side, which you can see. It's why he didn't get hit. And his hand is posted on the hood. Kyle, will you look at it forward and put his hand on the hood? I think we're just going to always see different things when we look at this video for whatever reason. He's being moved by the car.

Did you watch the New York Times one? I know you just say New York Times and dismiss it as if it's propaganda. Oh, no, no. I watched every single video I could have it. And yeah, me too. It's very clear. I go through the same emotions that you do sometimes and that it's like, how can someone see the same evidence and come out to a different conclusion?

and I guess we'll always be there. See, I think the conclusion, I think what's important is what he perceived in that moment. And I think that's all that matters. I think that, again, if it's not department policy or government policy to stand in front of that vehicle and he was clearly in front of it or trying to be at one point or another,

punish him for that. I don't know what you do for that. If those second two shots he fired through her side window, I don't know if those were the ones who killed her or if that's relevant. I don't know if she shot in the front or in the side of her head. I don't know if that's relevant. But if you told me that the shot he fired through the driver's side window was the one that killed her,

I might be for charging him with killing her. But if it's the one that went through the windshield, I think when he fired that one through her windshield, he had every reason to believe, again, I saw her turn in the wheel. But I think he had almost every reason to believe that she was trying to hit him and he was about to be ran over. and he has such a again we've all watched all these videos from every angle frame by frame but he was experiencing it in that moment again if he put if he's not supposed to put himself in that position then that's kind of on him you know what I mean if you yeah maybe you've seen some of the arguments I have and I'm trying not to make this argument because it's an attorney's argument and I'm so unqualified I've read the policy that says there was a time when people were putting themselves in the front of the car they can no longer do that the court ruled on it him put him putting it himself in front of the car and creating the danger is not a good reason for him to say now I'm in danger. I read that he needs to do things to avoid it. It's his responsibility, yada, yada, yada. But then if you would have been like, no, Woody, Minnesota law takes precedence here or federal law.

I don't know. I don't know. I'm not a schooled enough on the wall to make the arguments as to what policy he was supposed to follow and what laws apply. I think he was definitely doing something. He wasn't supposed to. do and so was she. I think they're both in the wrong. And I think what it boils down to on whether you're going to charge him with a crime comes down to what he had had reason to believe in the moments right before he fired. And it seems to me that if I were standing there, I would think she was about to run me over or about to hit me or about to drag me or something like that. One of the reason America is so upset is they immediately circled the wagon, said he's fine,

We're protecting him. We have his back, yada, yada, yada. And it's like he kind of murdered her. No, not. Most people see, I know you don't, but you're in the minority. Most people see him as murdering her. And the Trump administration kind of says, well, if you're our murderer, if you're our insurrectionist, if you're our drug dealing presidential leader, Honduras I'm talking about, then there's no punishment.

If you're with the Trump administration, you can murder people. you can sell drugs, you can do whatever you want. And fuck, we'll cover the Epstein files for you. But if you're on the other team, then we'll even make up lawfare. Sure. I agree with most of that, but I don't think that changes like the only poor. Well, the only thing that matters to me and all this, it's not what she did before. It's not what he did before.

It's what he had reason to believe when he fired the shot. I think that's the only thing that matters. If you're asking me from like, if I'm God, I'm like, what an asshole. Why do shoot that lady? But if you're asking me and I'm in a jury, or if you're asking, then I find him innocent. And if I'm the prosecutor, then I don't file charges because I don't think that he, at least the charge wouldn't be murder. But now we're shifting over to the legal arguments that none of us are qualified to make. Like, we don't know what the laws are, even which jurisdiction.

Like, is it federal? But I do know. Well, yeah, I do. Well, we know that if you feel your life's in danger, you can use self-defense. You can use deadly force to defend yourself. We know that. There's no discussion about whether that's true or not. I think that whether he broke departmental policy or whatever agency policy,

putting himself in front of that vehicle or irrelevant. Like, both can be true at the same time. He can be breaking his own rules and standing somewhere he shouldn't and defending himself with deadly force at the same time. He would be guilty of breaking the policy. I'm going to do what I didn't want to do. I'm pretty sure the law doesn't say you can create the danger by standing in front of the car and then say since I was in danger, I can kill her.

That's not creating danger. Standing in front of a stationary car is not creating danger. I'm pretty sure it literally says that you can't do that. So if she would have remained parked and hadn't drove at all, she'd be alive. They would have ushered her. But her all is you can't stand in front of the car and then say the car coming at me is the reason I share. Honestly, a huge problem with this is the media and a lot of Democrat officials are acting as though I see. is the same as like a bunch of guys in maga hats wearing a flag at a parade.

Like they are pretending as though ice is like something you can counter protest. ICE is a federal law enforcement agency. If the FBI is investigating a crime scene and I drive in there with my car and try to hit one of them, they're going to put my ass down. And no one's going to say, well, let's get into the nitty gritty very granularly of what could have been done differently. No, they'd be like play stupid games, win stupid prizes. that guy started assaulting FBI agents.

And this is escalated by people like Tim Walls, people like Ilan Omar, in the media, saying, get up on these people, press them. Hey, we've just got through 10 years of saying, what do we do with Nazis? We murder them. We kill them. We eliminate them. We eradicate them. We harm them.

We get rid of them by any means necessary. By the way, Nazis are ICE and everyone who voted for Trump and Trump. And now it's a crazy escalation and violence. And it's largely because of these rioters. like they are creating dangerous situations. They're throwing rocks. They're shattering cars. They're burning cars.

They're assaulting agents. I saw they broke into the cop car and they're using like hatchets or something to break into the lockbox in the back and stealing the AR 15. Yeah. They're out of control. And Tim Wall's response is to say he wants to deploy the Minnesota National Guard against the feds. Well, I don't know. He says he wants. No, no, no.

He said on TV, he said this is an occupation and we're at war. and I'm going to bring the National Guard out. That's what he said. And all the people who cared about an insurrection are very silent on it. And this isn't like he's talking about doing this. He's escalating. I mean, he's stoked this is happening. He says that standing in front of the car to create the danger doesn't allow him to react to it.

I could read it to you, but it's like two pages long. I believe, I just disagree with the, like legally, I could be totally wrong. I think if you jump in from a moving car, which is what I I literally just watched someone due to an ice agent. They jump in front of his car to let it hit him. Like, as it's rolling at like maybe seven miles per hour. If you do that, then absolutely you can't. That's like that joke from the Simpsons, right?

Where Homer's like waiting behind the corner with a gun or a hammer or a bat or something. He's like, hey, Flangers, come over here. And he's like, you can't invite them into your home and then. And it doesn't work if you invite him, Homer. I definitely see that point, but they were trying to arrest her for, they were trying to stop her. It was law enforcement. But he positioned himself in front of the car while it was not moving. And then when it started moving, chat GPT says that I could send it to you.

I'm not afraid it's so long it would take three minutes to read and I don't want to do that. No, I feel you. police caution that officers should avoid placing themselves in the path of a moving vehicle to create a situation where deadly force might be used. Legal experts note engaging a vehicle and then firing at it is only justified at the vehicles we use as a weapon that closes your danger. I can imagine you arguing that. Video evidence and expert commentary cast doubt on whether that standard was met here, giving the vehicle was turning and the agent's positioning. Some law enforcement scholars say the agents are not trained to stand in front of vehicles precisely because it creates unnecessary risk

and complicates justifications for force. I wouldn't stand in front of the fucking car. He got hit by the car. Whether or not he was right or wrong to stand in front of it, you know, we can bandy that about it all day. I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't trust a crazy person like her standing in front of their car. But.

Well, I think what he had a month. The question, what he's raising is. It's a good one because I care about the nitty-gritty legal sub because that's otherwise we're just like, no, the Braves should. one. He made that. I feel like we're rooting for own team too much. To me, it's all about the nitty-gritty legal stuff. And if there's precedent that a cop positioning himself in front of a vehicle, while it's at a

stop, while it's not already moving, getting away from that literally jumping in front of a moving car thing and then claiming something, if you're saying that that takes away his ability to defend himself, if there's some sort of precedent for that, then it sounds like he's guilty of something chargeable. But again, to me, me all that matters is what he had reason to believe in the moment right before he fired. And again, like I said, we get to Monday morning quarterback and go frame by frame and he was there and all

a sudden there was a car coming at him and he drew and shot. And, you know, I just, I have a hard time blaming him for this shot. I have plenty of time for blaming him for standing in front of the car. I would never stand in front of a fucking car. Like, I've seen enough people get ran over by cars. I've seen that brick and Morty episode. Wouldn't a car always win? Yes. The car always win. Yeah. Like you won't get me in front of a fucking car.

Dude, I saw a way more egregious one that the cop also got off. It may have also been in Minnesota. It was maybe like 2018 where a guy was pulling over some crazy person and he was starting to get out of his car. He's in his patrol car behind her and

gets out. Maybe it was a guy. I don't know. and she immediately like full speed reverses into his car. Like it rams his car. And he's like, I'm getting rammed. And then she like pulls forward like rams. And he just. Oh. Bo bo bo bo bo bo bo bo bo bo bo bo bo bo bo bo bo.

No more. When she rear-ended them, did the airbags go off? No. The airbags didn't go off, but the car did like. They do in the movies. That's why I asked.

Yeah. And they do in real life if they hit. So there's sensors in the front. I'm sure you know this. and in a big collision the whole bumper's coming in so the sensor's obviously getting triggered

but if it's a little one like you can miss the sensor I backed into my mom's car in our driveway and just man I did not hit her car heart I was backing up at like five six miles per hour

and I hit her Chrysler with my pathfinder and poof fucking ruin that god accelerometer I think there's sensors in the front impact sensors so you're sure

you're in deform but I'm certain amount. Okay. I always thought it was like once it hits, I'll make up a number. Three G's, it goes off. I'm sure now there's a whole... Because this lady rammed the front of that car hard enough to like shake and like shift to Tahoe. It's the black lady. That's the one

where I didn't see her. I just saw that shoot. I saw that video. That's one of the ones that I, when me, you and Chis were discussing this thing the other day. I think I linked that one. I was like, look at this. They called this a good shoot. And this one looks egregious to me because

all the cop to do, there's a car backing into his car. As long as he doesn't get out, he'll be okay, right? Like,

it isn't a demolition dirty. You know, he gets out, and then he starts shooting, and he keeps shooting, and he shoots this woman like 30 times or something like that. I don't know how he had so many bullets.

He shoots for so long, and then I saw one yesterday where... Can I, before you change it? Yeah. What difference between those two shootings in my mind is the intent and the driver. Like, Renee Good wanted to leave the area.

That's what she was trying to do. This person was trying to hit. Flea the scene. Okay, flee the scene. I'll accept that. Run, baby. Drive, baby, drive. There was another cop telling her to leave, but, you know, I think she did pick which instructions she chose. Man, I got to find that clue of a cop telling her to leave

because when I watch it, every cop they were saying, Get the fuck out of the car! Get the fucking car! I'll have to look for it. I haven't heard anyone taller. No, you did because Hutch was on the show. Oh, I heard. He mentioned all the eyewitness testimony and stuff. Oh, and I don't believe any of that.

It wasn't there. Yeah, no. They got the number of gunshots wrong. If you can't figure that out, then I don't believe, like, I read it has been in a fantasy land over this. Were there three or four gunshots? Because I heard three initially. Three.

And then I heard the autopsy said four. And I'm like, I did hear four. Okay. Well, we need someone at the autopsy office probably needs to lose their job because you can't expect them to know all the numbers taylor this is ridiculous it could be any number of bullets there's no i'm not sure i'm right about the autopsy but that's what i read i read that too you could hear no i read that too and i was so confused because i watched that video um from a couple angles with just the intent of counting the gunshots at one point that was my only

concern because at first i only saw one gunshot in the first video i saw when this spring thing first dropped I was like, well, he just shot once. And then I see another one where you've got audio and it's from the back left angle and you see him pop, and you can see a little bit of smoke coming out of the gun and everything. I heard and saw three. I don't know what the autopsy is saying. Did he hit her with all three shots?

That seems unlikely to me. If he hit her with all three shots, why did he say four? I can't explain the four. I counted three. I've watched these videos at this point where Oliver Stone is, like, what are you getting obsessed? Back and to the left. Back and to the left.

By the way, Taylor, another movie you should watch, JFK. Incredible film. Okay. So the fact that someone said the autopsy people said four shots. I didn't read the autopsy myself. I'm like, I don't know where this is coming from

or how there could have been four. Was there another shooter? Like, I'm making this up, this comes from me. That is. Was there a grassy knoll? of it with. Honestly, there's a guy of a squirrel suit over there was a sniper rifle. If people listen to this, then PCA,

we should all be on the same page about a second shooter for René Goode on the show. And like, it's crazy. No one sees. He only shot thrice, and yet there are four holes in the woman. The magic bullet theory.

Is there a magic bullet? or like from the angles I was trying to imagine how it might have gone like from her head to her chest or something but I don't see how that could be I don't know that he hit her with all three bullets like that's the thing like that would surprise me

if they're saying four they're even more wrong but like Kyle said I was very surprised that I people seem to say all three bullets hit and I'm like whoa because on the first one I'm like did any hit because it seems like people miss a ton I've never fired in any kind of combat, but I fired under a stopwatch,

and that makes my shooting twice as bad. That amount of pressure. I can only imagine what combat is like. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe we'll get that information later. Maybe there'll be an autopsy report released. I'd love to see it just to know because, you know, it's an interesting thing.

And I think it's a cool case study. in how people see different things from the same evidence. Because everybody, like I surf the internet and I see one side is 100% sure about what happened. And the other side is 100% sure about what happened. And I'm like, God, I think you're right about half of this. And I think you're right about half of this. But neither of that, none of that matters, though. Because again, like the thing that matters to me is like legal justice.

If you're talking about moral justice or like right and wrong or what we should have done different, I can get all over the left side. I am like, all right, yeah. That shouldn't have happened. He shouldn't have been there. I shouldn't have happened. Let me hit this one back. For like a dozen reasons that aren't just her fault.

I think that if the wife hadn't mouthed off like that, the shooter might not have been in that headspace. Yeah, I think they'll get lunch, Big Boy and some other things, talking about the license plate. All that was agitated. It was agitating. The principal problem, and this has been my position all time, is that he was hit by a car. He was moved and hit by a car, and he was scared he was going to get killed because he had been hit by a car driven by another crazy leftist.

Can we agree on sideswiped by a car? Because there's just different levels of being hit by a car. Which one are you comfortable with? Like how, like. Like Hutch was careful to say. like a two-ton made impact with a car. The car made impact with him. Like that's what he had settled on being comfortable agreeing to.

And I'm somewhere a level above that because it did look, it moved him. I know where his feet are. I see his feet. I see them. To impact something is to hit it. Definitely. You know, the car is, you know, car shaped and all. And it's wider than the wheelbase.

You know, it's wider than the wheelbase. Now, I do think we need to fact check this. How is the car with? But I think, like, technically speaking, she struck him with her vehicle. The vehicle moved forward. It made impact with his body. That's striking him with his vehicle.

He went to the hospital and they said, Oh, my gosh. So here's the thing about the hospital thing because I think this is important. Yes, he went to the hospital. They always go to the hospital after anything like this. I watch all these cop videos. I've seen it 100 fucking times.

You're in an altercation. Even if your heart rate just got up because you beat up a guy, they send you to the hospital. I'm sure it's not only covering their bases departmentally, but also covering their bases legally speaking later so that the president can factually say he was struck by a vehicle, he went to the hospital,

and he had internal bleeding. Because you know what a bruise is, Woody? It's internal bleeding. So you can factually say those things. So can I claim internal bleeding? bleeding like when I carelessly like stub my toe walk into one of my pieces of workout equipment

yes I'm in a way of survivor myself yes you are you and Renee good compadres like well not really she's not a she's not a survivor that's the whole crux oh shit well well what I mean to say is like clearly when they phrase things that way

and when they when they talk about him happy go to the hospital she can claim internal you know tit for tat there I have blood on the inside. I feel bad for that lady. I'm sorry. I want all my blood.

I want it to stay on the inside. I just don't. I want these riots to end. I want them to start doing less shock and all horseshit deportations and more meaningful deportations. You know what? We know what they should do in charge of eyes.

Yeah. They 100% should. If you thought about like arresting? Hey, hey, you know what I would do? It's all we do all day, Taylor. Oh, and they do it 300,000 people a year. You won't even get 10,000. percent of the people Biden illegally let in when he was fucking in a bubble bath.

They get they get bonus. They're bonus for three thousand a day, a number that's seemingly unachievable. Three thousand a day. They're trying so hard. Not enough. Not enough. Wait, wait. It's just, this is good to know. They don't have to be illegals. They just have to pull in three thousand. There's no punishment. As a matter of fact, they are rewarded for just detaining citizens, checking them out and sending them like cutting them loose again. We need meaningful deportations and Kyle you put me in charge you know what I do day one I don't go I don't do some

I don't do stupid raid I immediately start embezzling no I immediately starts no I am I go after and make a like a fucking huge story out of going after some big business owner who knowingly employs a bunch of illegals and then I sent him

to prison for 20 I send him to prison for one year for every illegal he has knowingly employed. And this guy will be weeping. This white collar fat, overweight millionaire will be crying. We will be crying. And we will put him away for the rest of his life.

And we will tell other business owners that this is what's going to happen to you. This is what's going to happen to you, too. If you betray your fellow American to get slave wages from foreigners, this is what will happen to you too. That's what savings on to you, buddy. That's what capitalism is all about. Look, if you want chicken to cost what beef costs, go ahead. Clear out every chicken in Gainesville, Georgia.

You'll have raw chicken on the ground. Who's going to pick the cotton? Who's going to pick the cotton? That's the argument you're making. Who's going to pick the cotton? The fucking combine picks the cotton. You think a bunch of white crackers went out there and started picking it? That's what my dad did when he was poor.

You know what cotton? A fucking human being can get in a day? No, you don't. I have no idea. Like, fucking eight pounds of cotton. We work all fucking day. That's more than I wearing a day. The combine fucking picks the cotton.

The cotton gin. Well, that's a decent, think about it. That's not a good comparison. What I'm saying to you is, we live in a, we live in a society where if you go down to Georgia and you clean out all those poultry plants of all the illegals, there will be no, there's no one there to pick up the slack. No one's coming to do that filthy, disgusting, dangerous, low playing, low-class job. They're not coming to do it.

So they're going to have to raise wages and there's going to be a massive chicken food right away. They will have to pay. So, Kyle, I have a question. They're going to pass it on to the consumer. I think what would happen in this, I don't know anything by raising chickens, is the same thing that happened with cotton in that they'd automate it somehow. Why is that a bad idea? The cost of the final product would go way up. It's way cheaper to pay these guys.

So it's every step of the process. Not only are there like tons of illegals going to like catch the chickens. I've seen the machine that replaces that. it looks like something out of Star Trek. I don't know what that thing costs. But the processing plant, the place where they like use knives and they chop chickens up and there's an assembly line, that's all illegals. That's all illegals in there.

Again, not knowing the first thing about chickens, but in other industries, automating it is super expensive and the argument is the cost will go up at first, right? Because it's like, you don't understand. One guy with a wrench is so cheap. and a robot with a wrench is crazy expensive. But then over time, the price of the robot goes down, the realization that the robot works 24-7, never takes a break and just goes, goes, goes, you start to, oh, shit,

I'm comparing one dude to one robot, and a robot's worth 12 men, maybe, maybe not in chickens. My mother told me that sewing clothes was something that was really, really hard to automate. Like just the nature of working with fabric and the way that it like clumps up and the way that if you stretch it and sew it and then unstretch it,

suddenly you have like two sides that don't match anymore and there's just a bunch of things about sewing that is hard for robots. But then they figured it out and now clothes are cheaper than ever. We're figuring automations go that way. Yeah. I'm more bored with what you're saying, buddy.

That's what I think too is like, and it's especially worse to import enormous populations of people who will be dependents if their low-skilled jobs are automated into our country. Like, we need to be going all in on automation for these jobs, and we need to be punishing these millionaire business owners, billionaire business owners. And hey, I would, you know what I would do with ICE? I would start, like, punishing people who are knowingly defrauding the H-1B program, not even just straight up illegals.

Oh, big tech. Oh, Elon. That was really interesting when you had a fucking conip. two years ago, pretending America first. And then you were like, but Americans are lazy and we need these like slaves. We need these Indians to come over and do a worse job for a

quarter of the price. Like, we are in public as being fucked by the elites because we are being replaced in the job market by immigrants, both at the top and the bottom. And it's horrible for the middle class. I have this idea that Taylor's idea of going after employers

has a lot of merit, but me being a softy in comparison, Like maybe we go after industries on different timelines. Chicken people, you're way down the line. You know, we know you're hard to automate and the machines are super expensive. Raspberry guys. You're coming first. Construction.

Oh my gosh. I'm convinced there are a lot of people who would be willing and able and talented blue collar workers if opportunities were sent their way. 10 million percent, yes. Playing the trades out 100%. No, apparently they suck at stairways. But otherwise, these white guys have the 10%. And like, so maybe we go after the guys employing construction workers who were illegals towards the beginning.

Because I think, you know, you can get in American laborers pretty quickly. We're on the same page. Like, yeah, you would need to tier the level of import and. But guys who are picking strawberries or whatever, or like, there's some fruits that apparently like really fragile and like there aren't good picking machines to like not destroy the product while you're getting the berries or what have you out. What is it? I think strawberries is an example. Yeah. Baries and stuff like that.

I saw a machine that shakes the tree. Have you seen that thing that like... Oh, it has that big canopy? It shakes the fuck out of it. Yeah. I don't know if it's cherries or apples or a date tree or something or... Yeah. Nuts are getting retrieved that way.

That's pretty soon. I didn't know how much effort went into cashews until a few years ago and I watched a video on it. My God, no wonder they're the most expensive nut. Like 98% of the cans of the cashews. cashew fruit is like poison uselessness. They're my favorites. I love cashews. They're the best. I like peanuts like some commoner.

Maybe I love peanuts. They're good. I know Kyle likes it. Peanut Eminems are the best like candy in the world. I even like almond Eminem's the best. Oh, my girlfriend got some almond m&Ms and I was so mad. I was like, I saw you got a little bag of Eminem's

and I was so excited to eat a couple and then I saw their almond and I just so mad. now. This is worse than if you brought nothing. Dude, if she produced peanuts for you. I knew you'd say that. Oh, no, no way. I did have a peanut butter and jelly Eminem the other day. That was a new experience. Wait, your girlfriend wanted plain Eminem's? No, she got the almond. How was the peanut butter and jelly? I'm interested in the new Eminemps. It tastes like peanut butter and jelly.

It was weird. It tasted like science. It tasted weird. It was good. It was good. I mean, I ate it. I didn't spit. it out or anything, but it was a bizarre product that only America could come up with. That's what Greenland has to look forward to. I don't like this at all. I don't like this. Our ingenuity. Like these. Are we got, are you going to vacation?

Like if we make it a territory? Like, dude, I already want to. A little part of me wants to know what Greenland's actually like. I see these pictures that for all I know are from Iceland of like colorful homes and stuff. And I'm like, oh, they probably would be very mad at me right now. I'd have to do a charm offensive on everyone. But, uh, I'm one of, The good ones.

Are there mountains? Yeah. Like is it? So maybe a little more skiing. I was reading about it. The ice is three kilometers thick. Like those rare earth elements are going to be tricky to get through, bro. It'll be decades.

Yeah. Yeah. It'll be decades. But honestly, I think that that's one of the problems with our government and maybe the world in general is that no one wants to think far enough for it in the future. past their own like glory and ego and leave it to Trump to be the guy who kind of is in a way maybe even not on purpose but that Greenland is going to be worth a lot more in 50 years it's going to be incredibly valuable in 50 years no he does a bunch of retarded shit but like he clearly identifies

this as a strategic I don't know what look he could literally just be thinking it looks cool in the map that could be it that could literally literally be 90% of his motivation. Or it could be what he wrote in his letter in that he took himself not getting the Nobel Prize as a slight. And now he just doesn't mean very much to him.

He said enough recently that you're like, I think he's just coming at it from a, it'd be cool if we did kind of place. And the fucking aristocrats of Europe are having a hard time wrapping their head around a guy who wants to annex the world's largest island because, quote, it would be cool.

What Europe is used to is like the Jimmy Carter style foreign policy of America being like, we could do this if we wanted, but we're not going to. We're going to not do that. Hey, we should ask the president of Finland what he thinks about this. And it's like Trump is like the first president in a while to be like, you guys all know like your vassal states, right? Like you all know you're not like real independent countries. That's why you all spazzed when Russia invaded Ukraine because it was a sudden reminder. That's why Jimmy Carter has a Nobel Peace Prize and Trump doesn't.

Well, he does now. Oh my goodness. No, he literally does. That's what I said to Kyle. Ownership is 19 to the law, wouldn't you. That's what I said to Kyle. I was like, bro, that's like if I stole the Stanley Cup, I'm not a winner. Like I just said like I'm not going to put my name next to Vladimir Terry.

I'm not a goddamn minute though. But, anyone who tried to tell you that you didn't have a Stanley Cup would really have a hard time winning that argument when you produced the Stanley Cup. Well, they could say he didn't win the Stanley Cup. Yeah, because I hadn't. Anyone can win the Stanley Cup. I took it.

I don't know why he cares about these, like, gay boomer prizes anyway. Oh, come on. It's Obama all over again. It's a boomer, I guess. It's his, like, hatred and, like, jealousy of obfusc. from back in today. You know, Obama got one for no fucking reason. Well, he got one for peacefully destroying Libya. Trump earned his...

...and causing the largest migrant crisis in global history. I know Trump's claims like stopping eight or nine wars or plus, as he said in his letter, but he did stop some wars. And the Palestinian thing seems to have stopped. He's clearly putting an earnest effort into ending the Ukraine thing, even though it seems like he doesn't care who wins or loses or where the territory goes. He just wants credit. for stopping the killing, as he says,

which is kind of a, I mean, you can kind of respect that angle if that's true. It's good messaging, but I don't buy it. So I think he deserves a Nobel Prize more than Obama did, but Obama didn't deserve his at all. So it's not a high margin of, you know, deserves a lot about Nobel Prize, Nobel Prize. Donald Trump, the President of the United States,

the most powerful man who's ever existed. That's so gay. You're already the president. Why do you care about this like rinky dink? It's a good question. You don't see him building his trophy case? dude all right jimmy kimmel has his moments where i'm just like dude do you do anything else but this but he had a bit where he was like donald i i see you're taking trophies look if you'll just

please stop this nonsense and leave office here mine and he's got like his emmy his like uh like all he's got like five different awards like the most prestigious internet award it's spring yeah yeah yeah you can have any one of them hell you can have them all just I almost was Trump had taken him up on it and be like I'll take the Emmy he called my bluff I like Miami

I want your beautiful hair shave it dude I saw that come across the news feed and it's like oh I saw her standing next to him and she's got the fucking prize like framed and everything and I was like oh well that's nice she showed it to him and visited with him like she kind of like the World Cup thing and it's like no no no

she she gave it to him and he has it now and he will always have it now. Didn't she alter it for him? Like the frame thing, it had like his name and stuff in it now. Yes, it says like to the president of the United States, Donald Trump and it like she reads like a baffling level of. They like went into MS Word and printed up something for Trump and put that thing inside the frame. They replaced the original.

It looked good. It looked good. a little certificate of authenticity. I sent you that picture and it's it's the same photo but it's Harry Potter instead of her and it's he's holding the Tri-Wizard Cup I just know that but it was

you sent that at like 3.30 in the morning so I didn't see it until this morning I'm like that's very funny that he won the Tri-Wizard tournament he and Cedra he deceived Cedric Diggory Yeah we live in a fucking Looney Toon world it's so bizarre

I can't believe he's doing all this stuff I think some of I agree that Europe has sat on their asses, had no defense budgets and created welfare states to and let us, you know, cover their backs for all these years and I don't like that and I think they should

chip in, but I don't want to break up NATO. Are they going to kick us out of our bases? They certainly can you know, they could certainly but then on the other hand, Woody, I thought about this. It's like on the, they could they could do that. Did they want to do that? Or did they really want that? I don't think they can't. I think it's, I think it's a Tony

soprano situation where they're better with us than without us and they're just going to have to swallow it. And I don't like that. I just think it's factual. I don't like being the bully. I don't want us to bully them and to put them into that position. But they kind of put themselves into that position and silly them they trusted american as their ally and as their protectorate and kept and trusted our word and now we're going to go back on it and they're in a real tough position with with uh russia knocking on the back door and kicking us out of those bases there i think the american american military is like 1.4 million active members spread across the planet a lot i bet a lot of them are in europe you're going to take tens of thousands of the

best armed, best trained, best equipped, like soldiers on the planet and move them out. What are you going to replace them with? I know France has a good army. I think they got the biggest military in Europe. I think Poland is right behind them. Germany is so far behind and playing catch up. I just don't know if they can defend themselves. I think the only...

I thought they were towards the top, but I'm not sure. Oh, they're definitely towards the top compared with like Portugal or... I think one of the Baltic states, Finland, I think Finland spends, either Finland or Poland spends more of their GDP by percentage than we do on defense. It's like, like, you're doing fine. Yeah, I think there's only three countries in the EU that spend the requisite 2% even now. And I think it's, no, no, no, no. That's going up.

They fit. So Portugal, like I said, was a fucking welfare state. And then you're to chip. Are you sure all you're spending 2% now? Because I looked at the graph from 2025 and it was the UK. Well, unless Trump has misled, leading me. He always goes on about, he's like, they didn't used to pay the two. Now they pay the five. That's his quote every time it comes up. Yeah, well, that's not true. I don't,

I don't, there's no way they're all putting five percent of their GDP into the military. Are you accusing Trump of lying? I won't stand for that. I think he's engaging in a bit of February here. Clearly, Vladimir Putin is, is, you know, hungry to, to create the USSR again. I looked it up, Kyle, under the Germany strength, that is. Truth was kind of somewhere in the middle. They listed the top three, as you might guess, France, UK and Russia. And then Germany was the fourth, but they made that tier two. So they're like the best in tier two above Italy and Poland, which I didn't expect. I thought Poland was higher. I think Poland has, perhaps, Poland has done this in the last year or two. I wouldn't be surprised if they've outpaced like

Google AI on this. Because everything I see, they talk about how the Polish have historically taken a fucking from both ends. They've been spit-roasted by Europe a couple times. So they're sensitive to current happenings. Dude, like a thousand. That's exactly what happened. Literally and like like figuratively speaking, the Nazis came in

and fucked them in the ass. I don't know if they were literally spit-roasted. They were. They absolutely raped and pillaged their way through. The Nazis came through and raped every village. I'm going to need video. And then the Soviets came through and raped every village. Then the Soviets came through and raped even more. Just as they were like, uh, the Nazis are gone.

that's over then they get destroyed dude Poland has been fucked with for a thousand dude if you read the history of like central Slavic European countries it's like a millennia of being fucked with from by all sides

like just being harangued and fucked with yeah so they're sensitive to happenings in Europe so I think they've been bolstering their military in every way conceivable they don't want to let it happen you know Germany a few years ago during a NATO exercise didn't have enough weapons for the exercise, so they brought broomsticks for guns, like make-believe kid guns, like broomsticks.

That's not a good sign. No. There were a lot of signs, Jeremy was, I wonder when. Was that towards the end, maybe? I think it's recent history. I think it's like last five years. Oh, I didn't see that coming. Like for a NATO exercise.

Like, you know, we get, we get the NATO boys together and we run a few exercises. like, oh, the tank divisions and the infantry will do this if the X, Y, and Z happen. Hypothetically, the Russians come over the fucking hill. And the Germans are like, ah, well, just hit it, Texas, takes a broomstick. You don't need a rifle. They didn't have enough guns. It's bad look. It's a bad look.

Bad look, yeah. I think it's about dinner time. This is a lot of fun. This was a fun conversation, fun PKK. Good stuff. All right, PKN, 596.
