Starting point is 00:00:00 Live painkiller nearly episode 98 Game of Thrones Game of Thrones real quick though Kyle. Have you been doing something different with your facial hair? It looks smoother It doesn't look as scraggly as it does sometimes looks like you're really taking some pride in it. I don't think so I I shaved yesterday It compliment trimmed up. Hi. Are you doing anything different? You don't look like shit No, this is just I guess you caught me on a non-shit day i can notice kyle little sprigs on the side sometimes of hair but this time it looks like you took like some some trimmers trimmed it down to like stubble everywhere and that you're gonna start like an even beard that's what it looks like
Starting point is 00:00:42 well that's what i always go back to. I always go back to that. So when it's anything else, it's just pure laziness. And yeah, when it gets long, I've got that Keanu Reeves kind of patchy thing. So it needs to be kind of trimmed and stubbly. I was going to say, Kyle, on the piece of shit scale, you've gone from an 8 to a 5. So congratulate. We're all so proud of you.
Starting point is 00:01:09 I thought it looked good. I wish you would go like a restating style because you said that you go all patchy but you don't look like you're patchy here on your mustache i'm pointing now all this like all this comes in and around the sides is i could do one of those really lame things where it comes down and like does one of those but i i don't want any of that that's that's super... I'm happy with what I got going on. I like it to be a little rough and scruffy and not look like I'm a child. I saw an Asian guy just...
Starting point is 00:01:34 It had to be less than a year ago where he had exactly what you were saying. That chin strap connector. But traditionally the hair is very, very short in the chin strap connector it's like a stubble this guy had at least three quarter of an inch hairs just on a thin strip lining his face like it was like drapes hanging down off of his face disgusting that sounds you know that silken asian hair yeah where you know like hulk hogan
Starting point is 00:02:06 hair yes and it's just hanging down like that very like little uh like spider silk i guess you would say it wasn't a good look but it was like ah you don't know where he's from maybe that's really big in vietnam i thought what he was taking a dick pic over there for a second i was like what the fuck's he doing my My cord lets me just barely reach my light switch, and that is where I control the speed of my ceiling fan. Gotcha. This was a huge
Starting point is 00:02:33 episode of Game of Thrones. Too big. Season finale. Everything moved forward a lot. We realigned all of the factions, and then they took a few steps forward, which is rare for the show. You usually do one or the other or neither in some episodes. But everyone realigned.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Everyone coalesces to either sort of a Lannister side or at least potentially an anti-Lannister side. So I loved it. And then in everything moved forward, we got to see Cersei just take on the greatest revenge the show may have ever seen like that was incredible and I loved loved the costume that dress that Cersei is wearing is like it's like a mixture of armor
Starting point is 00:03:16 and evening wear I loved it I hate that Taylor just dropped out I wish he could hear what I'm about to say he'll be back in a second. We can talk about my computer while he's gone. Okay. I've been building that thing.
Starting point is 00:03:29 I started today because I've been waiting on the 1080 graphics cards for a while, obviously. I could buy a Founders Edition card right now. They're available. And they are every day on and off. But I want the ASUS Strix overclocked edition because I think it'll be better. And it's definitely the one with the highest clock. So while I wait for that, a kind fan of ours was kind enough to send me a 980 Ti classified edition. So I think that thing is going to run my monitors, my VR setup, all that stuff just fine for the foreseeable future until the 1080 that I want is available.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Or maybe some newer newer better 1080 is just right around the corner or something i don't know if you follow computers all the time but typically they come out with like the 680 and then mid-year the 680 ti which is even faster that happened with the 780 780 ti 980 980 ti which i think is is that what you're getting the 980 ti yeah so there'll probably be a 1080 Ti in a few months. Just a thought. Yeah, maybe so. It'd be nice to wait for that and get that.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Maybe I could be one of those early release lucky people who actually gets it. It's like the lottery with people clicking Newegg just on F5 all day. But I got all my parts in, and I've been kind of putting the build off because I didn't really want to tackle it without all the pieces here. But the graphics card is showing up tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:04:48 I checked the tracking number. So I figured I wanted everything ready and powered on and the operating system on board and everything. So I could just put the graphics card in, plug in the power, and go. So I started about two hours ago, and so far I got the case stripped down, got my new fans in. I replaced a few fans um got my um mother got the ram in the motherboard the processor in the motherboard
Starting point is 00:05:11 and uh i got that got all the power cables hooked up to the power supply and got it installed so i did mine in a different order than you like i think that i put the ram in when it was in the case already and i'm not so sure about the the CPU but putting the motherboard in the case for me was like in hindsight probably the hardest part and part of it is just how my brain is wired like I like to be a hundred and ten percent sure like it says hey you know this is the USB plug it here or not USB but like a case fan or something and I'm like what is it is it possible to do this backwards? If it is possible to do this backwards,
Starting point is 00:05:47 then I need to make sure that it's not backwards. And, you know, that kind of just like dotting every I, crossing every T made my, I think I assembled slower than you did. I'm lucky in that I found a video of someone using my case and a similar motherboard. But do they really zoom in to where you could see the wires go this way or this way?
Starting point is 00:06:11 Yeah, he takes his time. I don't know, it's a 35-minute video. He skips through the turning of screws and stuff like that, but he tells you what he's going to do. Placing the motherboard in particular, he was talking about how it could be frustrating, and he gave tips to alleviate that. He talked about how the motherboard in particular, he was talking about how it could be frustrating, and he gave tips to alleviate that. And he talked about how the stays or whatever, the screw posts that are poking up from the back of the case,
Starting point is 00:06:31 how to align everything and which ones you need and which ones you don't with that motherboard. So I haven't put it in, obviously, yet. It's sitting on my table upstairs, and that's what I'm about to do when I go back up there probably. But, yeah, I imagine that will be one of the more frustrating parts. The cable management will be easy, I think, because I got a big panel to hide most everything, and he does an
Starting point is 00:06:54 excellent job of cable management in his video, so I've got him to copy. And I got the desk going, too. I got my lumbers being planed this afternoon, apparently. I wasn't able to be there because I'm doing this. And I found a sawmill to plane it for me. And I think I'm going to stain it really, really dark
Starting point is 00:07:12 to the point where it's almost black, but you can still see the grain and do kind of a red and black thing. I've got the Asus. This will be pretty neat. Are you going to show the room some? I'm sure you'll show it to me. Are you going to show it to the world?
Starting point is 00:07:25 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to be proud of the room? I'm sure you'll show it to me. Are you going to show it to the world? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to be proud of the room when I'm done. Because a part of researching this whole thing and learning about components and such is that everyone shows off their setup. The battle station subreddit, I've been on there a lot. I've been on the finished build little gallery on PC Parts Builder and seen all the finished products. And everybody's really neat and tidy with their desks. So, yeah, I'm going to build something that I want to show off. All the wiring's either inside the wall or inside the desk.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Like, all the wiring. I'm thinking about making my second monitor, the 40-inch 4K, come down from the ceiling. Because that's really cheap. It's like a $60 sliding bracket thing that, like, screws up there. And it's, like, $20 more than hooking it onto the wall, but, like, 100% cooler. So I'm having fun with it.
Starting point is 00:08:12 I'm having fun learning about cable management. I didn't think that would be fun to learn about. But every time I find a new way to hide a keyboard cable or something like that, I'm like, ooh, that's nice. So I'm having a good time with it. Kyle has a new hobby, a new passion more than just to be honest to be honest when i was up there just a minute ago like like putting the putting those sticks of ram in and thinking like this is gonna be over in like 45 minutes like once i get that cooler and it's done i wonder if taylor wants a pc i literally i literally want to offer my my completely inept services to build Taylor a PC because I'm really enjoying it.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Yeah, it's like Legos for adults. Like, I am enjoying it. It's a lot of fun. Cool. Very neat. I want to see the whole thing. I want to see the battle station. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:59 So you're obviously going to have that wide monitor front and center. And then the 4K, what, above that, dropping from the ceiling? It would be on the same distance from me, but it would be able to either go up and out of the way or down low enough to be like right at desk level. And just those two monitors or is there more? Yeah, I think it's just those two. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Yeah. I guess I could add maybe some more curved monitors in the future, but I don't feel like spending another 2600 right at this moment um so plus for the time being that'd be a tall order to render like if you ever played a game with three oh we gotta get two of them then i gotta get two 1080s then uh yeah i would guess i don't know i haven't thought it through but something like that it'd be a big job. I was watching Barnaclee's Nerdgasm, probably saying his name right, and he had a 4K
Starting point is 00:09:50 triple monitor video the other day, like a 4K surround, and I think he's powering those with two Titans, but I'm not sure. I don't recall, but it was really cool. They were big TVs, like maybe 50 inches, and he's playing maybe
Starting point is 00:10:05 battlefield and he's in the tank and it looked like he was in a fucking tank it was cool yeah there's a bunch of titan you probably know this by now that titan that name brand spans a couple of them like it starts i have the og titan it's kind of a 780 ti like it's very close in performance to that and uh but there's been a 980 titan as well and like titan z and i think there's a titan that has two gpus on it yeah they're just gonna keep adding uh numerals on at the end yeah i understand but he's got he's got two high-end graphics cards pushing that thing so i would imagine two 1080s would push it too um but i'm not really interested in that like the whole idea of all those monitors
Starting point is 00:10:45 it just seems like a lot of money to be spending on pixels and I've got so many already with this, I'm looking at this thing right now and it's like I don't really want too much more and I'm getting the vibe anyway it depends on what you do so Premiere Pro I find that
Starting point is 00:11:02 having the entire ultra wide screen to edit in is really nice. Like it is, it's great. I would, I wouldn't want to go backwards. So I take the whole thing up, I edit in Premiere Pro and then I've got the sides for all like my file
Starting point is 00:11:17 management stuff. Like I'm constantly like you drag in your files, you edit, you're like, whatever, you know, I'm like, all right,
Starting point is 00:11:23 I took a drone shot that day. So there's like extra work to do on the edges and i like that a lot so um uh and then the other window like that kind of has two monitors the third monitor just for like other shit you know like i've got skype up so i can see it i'm monitoring some upload or whatever it is so So I like my three monitors. I don't know what I'd do with a fourth, but probably something. Yeah. There's definitely a possibility of adding more monitors if I see a need
Starting point is 00:11:52 for it, or if I see that I could get some benefit gaming wise from it. I know I've always liked having the second monitor for like the map or the hut or not the hut, but like the compass, like if there's some like second map that like is an overview of the whole country that you're like fighting in or whatever i like having that up um so i'll definitely have something going on i've often thought about stuff like that like you know can i have this thing and i want an advantage like okay borderlands right you play
Starting point is 00:12:19 borderlands with me yeah it would have been so nice if i could have the map up on like a mini monitor somewhere you know because the way I play Borderlands is like I run for 15 minutes and then I check to see if I was running in the right direction because it's completely possible not to be you can head towards that thing on the compass then you check the map and you're like fuck there's
Starting point is 00:12:40 an obstacle between me and it and I needed to be I needed the goal to be on my left so that i could come around and get to it um if i had a map in blur lands my whole experience would be better um yeah i'm uh i'm interested in the in the vibe i was talking to chiz about this the other night it's hard to ask chiz for advice because he immediately like first of all he bites your head off like you're a dummy and then he gives uh what what i never know if i never know if it's very he's so harsh when he gives the advice that i never know
Starting point is 00:13:10 if he's being harsh because i'm so stupid or because or and and because i should know this he's treating you as stupid but you never know if it's appropriate or not yes thank you and uh and so i was asking him i was like hey man, should I order this Vive right now? Is there any reason I shouldn't? Because, you know, it'll be here by Friday, and I could fucking go into VR Friday. That'd be cool. And he's like, oh, yeah, if you want to be one of those early adopters. And I'm just like, well, how long is it going to be before Vive 2.0, you know?
Starting point is 00:13:38 And I'm not interested in the Oculus. Just on principle, I don't care for how Oculus is doing business. And the whole history of the company I'm somewhat up to date on. I don't care for it. I definitely am going to be a Vive guy. Just to insert my two cents in that, I think you're right. And I think that it doesn't matter whether it's your principle or the product. They both point to Vive. So there it is. And what Chiz was saying was he was talking about the forces
Starting point is 00:14:05 that are behind Oculus and sure lots of money and promotion are behind Oculus but what is Oculus? Because that's all that fucking matters. You can tell me that Facebook is behind it all you want I'm not buying a blue F on the side of this thing. I want to go to virtual reality with this thing. So I really
Starting point is 00:14:21 want the Vive. The only reason that I'm not buying it is because I am somewhat afraid that they're going to announce their next version or better lenses or upgraded software, upgraded hardware, something like that is going to come and I'm going to be that $800 mistake. Because of the forces behind it,
Starting point is 00:14:37 I can imagine a scenario where like Oculus 2 beats Vive 2. If they've got that kind of stuff around. But, yeah, I don't know. I saw, I think it was J2Sense video. He was showing off a couple, he was talking about the Vive a little bit.
Starting point is 00:14:56 And he didn't really go too much into the gameplay. I haven't watched too much gameplay at all. But he was playing a bow and arrow game where you physically are drawing the bow and firing it. And that looked like so much fun. I would love to do that. I'd love to do that Star Trek Bridge Commander game. He was playing some sort of immersive game that's like being in a horror movie.
Starting point is 00:15:12 He was reading clues and picking up folders and flipping through them. And you're opening doors and walking around. It looks very fun. I don't know if the... Oh, I'm sorry. That was a break. I don't know if the Oculus has it, but I know that Boogie was saying the Vive does a really nice job with integrating with YouTube. I know that you haven't been uploading lately,
Starting point is 00:15:32 but it has an HDMI out that would be suitable for YouTube videos, whereas what you're seeing is two images, one for each eye that does the thing. But that would make for a lousy YouTube video. I wouldn't want to watch it. Well, my graphics card has a couple of HDMIs
Starting point is 00:15:50 out, so you can run one to the Vive and then one to a monitor. Maybe that's what he was saying. Yeah, so you'll be able to... Maybe he has something that accomplishes the same thing, but with the 1080 you've got two or three. It's a lot of ports on the Asus in particular. But um anyway i'll be able to have the monitor playing what i'm seeing
Starting point is 00:16:09 and uh so if someone's in the room with me they're not just like watching some guy like do do a bunch of stupid shit for no reason so i think it's gonna be fun i'm really i'm wondering what room size you need for the the vive because that could throw a wrench in things i could i would have to change rooms which isn't a huge deal, but I kind of want to be in this room back over here. But you're sizing your desk for the room, so that makes it a big deal. It is. I can't
Starting point is 00:16:34 go any... My boards are like... The room's 9 feet 7 inches from one end to the other, and that's how long the desk is going to be. But I could always go shorter than that and stick it somewhere else. There's actually a spot right here that would be incredible. Wow. That would be outrageous. But anyway.
Starting point is 00:16:49 I didn't know that VR came with a room size. Like, that's not a Kinect. What are you, crazy? Go on. Well, you've got the sensors pointing at you and knowing where everything is, I suppose. Okay. I don't know exactly how it works. I haven't done very much research at all,
Starting point is 00:17:06 just kind of what you see in commercials and stuff and a few Google searches. But I also keep hearing, and maybe Jay said this, that the older you are, the more amazing it is to you. He's like, you know, I give it to my daughter, and she's like, oh, okay. She's driving the car. And, you know, you look around, and you can look out this And, you know, you look around and you can see the, you can look out this window.
Starting point is 00:17:26 And if you raise your head, you can see the hood. And if you look down, you can see, you know, more of the sky. And, you know, she's just like, no, all right, race car game. But he's like, you know, I hand it to my 70-year-old dad. And he's just like, magic! It's magic! So I want to do that with my dad too. I've been talking to him a little bit about it.
Starting point is 00:17:44 I was going to be like i'm halfway there but i'm more than halfway there yeah i uh i've always had that that that fantasy right of virtual reality um i don't know when i was growing up it was super site it was science fiction big time virtual reality was as much as like there was this uh this um this fox maybe it was short-lived but there was a show on fox called vr5 about this hot chick who somehow had a modem that would suck her into the computer and now she's living in a virtual world and the things that she does there were somehow affecting real life or something it was a little bizarre but it was called vr5 and the idea of getting sucked into this virtual world was so cool you know both and she was literally getting sucked in you know like
Starting point is 00:18:29 so i don't even remember the science behind that bullshit just the idea of putting this thing on and and having my you know when you look at your hands they're there you know they're cartoony hands but your hands in particular i feel like a vr fight flight simulator would appeal to me like you've talked about the star trek bridge thing and i'm like yeah i can see how that's cool you talked about driving to me i want to see flight simulator okay i'm on it flight would be real cool and um you know you you could you could fly like superman you could even do something like that but yeah like you said um if you had the the controls um like a yoke i guess and uh dude i i think you know you see those amazing battle stations where there's actually a cockpit and that cockpit to me can be a motorcycle car or airplane but just
Starting point is 00:19:15 you know a cockpit is a concept dude like get rid of your monitors those monitors are children's things you Now it's about controls and VR. Am I back? You are back. So we kind of held off on Game of Thrones talk. Thank you. And we talked about computers and
Starting point is 00:19:37 video games and such. Alright, so I didn't miss much. Yeah, my computer just totally shit out. You were saying like... Oh, you know. It's computer just totally shit out. You were saying, like, Oh, you know, it's funny you should mention that. I was saying while you were gone, I was like, you know, I'm really enjoying this, putting this PC together so much that, like, as I
Starting point is 00:19:53 was doing it, and I'm moving along pretty quickly, and I can compare my progress to the video's progress, and I'll be done in an hour and a half. I was thinking, like, I'm gonna be all out of computer to build I want to build you a computer me?
Starting point is 00:20:09 yes you're looking for a budget challenge this is not a free computer it's free services free services and all that but I would like to build you an RX 480 computer using that graphics card because that's a $200
Starting point is 00:20:24 graphics card that's VR capable and it's a brand new, like Nvidia the card that I'm wanting to get they were like let's put out this thousand horsepower monster that'll crush everything and on the other end of it AMD was like let's see
Starting point is 00:20:40 how much bang we can put into the tiniest package and sell it for $200 and it's a lot of bang. If you had two of those things. Yeah. Um, I, but,
Starting point is 00:20:49 but like, I don't know what your budget would be, but for need 15 grand, we get ran. Oh, I think one grand, a grand, I think a grand would get us pretty fucking deep.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Um, I, I, I, that's not that much. He's like an I five. What is it? The 6,600 K, it, the 6600K?
Starting point is 00:21:06 The AMD RX 480? Some motherboard 16 gigs of RAM and off you go. Power supply that gives power. Then send me a report
Starting point is 00:21:21 consisting of all of the things I need. An itemized list. An itemized list. And I just want to stipulate that while I will stand behind my technical build because it's just simple. It's fucking Legos. It really is plugging shit in and if I plug it in wrong
Starting point is 00:21:35 I'll be like, oh, that's wrong and everything's labeled. That's not going to be a problem but picking out the parts, I'll definitely, it won't be just me picking out parts off the top of my head. I do some research because i'm really enjoyed it i've really i've enjoyed doing it for myself yeah and plus i feel like to have your expertise and i like the way that you talked about building a pc because i had so many friends in high school who would be like oh yeah i'm building my own pc and people who build their own PCs fucking relish the idea of you
Starting point is 00:22:07 assuming them building a PC is them like putting the mask down and soldering things yeah like actually building the PC and then my first friend explained it to me he was like well he showed me he's like I built this this is like maybe 2007 and he's like I built this tower it's awesome you know i'm like wow you built that that looks like a professional computer that's incredible and he's like well yeah i just i ordered the case and then i ordered the stuff in there and i'm like so you had to like solder it stuff and like and like make a motherboard like that's crazy how'd you even know how to do that you're like a savant and well no i i just i ordered that offline too so what you did was that would be like me saying i built the millennium falcon and you come over and i've constructed the lego set you know it says hard right on there
Starting point is 00:22:58 yeah it said it would take 12 plus years finished it in three days that was the age yeah and the other thing is like you know if it's not the soldering it's like i built my own computer whoa oh yeah the circuit design was the toughest part like you know like no dude you didn't invent shit you bought parts and you plugged them in and by the way they only went together one way like you can't put the cpu in wrong you can't do these things like you just the hardest part well i i found that getting every wire right was a bit of a pain in the ass i did it slowly but one of the hardest parts is just buying a build that's not criticizable yeah no we'll be mocked, right? Yeah, someone's going to be. That was my number one priority. Not performance, not affordability. It was, will this be mocked?
Starting point is 00:23:49 Will someone go, ha! You spent hours of research, thousands of dollars, and here's how it could have been better. Fuck you! I don't want to know that. And then they do that anyway. They'll be like, ah, here's how it could have been better. And then there's like a 980 Ti in it.
Starting point is 00:24:03 And you're like, well, but it's much cheaper cheaper yeah but anyway i get to prioritize what i think is important and you know this is what i want i definitely skimped on the motherboard but wireless is important to me i like i want to run wireless internet to the thing so i got a motherboard that supports that that has that and there aren't very many the ones that there are expensive i think it's like 350 bucks for the motherboard. I could have gotten a $200 motherboard that would have done everything else the same. I have 32 gigs of RAM. Is there a special motherboard for a computer to work wirelessly?
Starting point is 00:24:32 So the wireless networking adapter or whatever it's called can either be an add-on or a standard thing that's on the motherboard. It seems like most of the time it's an add-on because I don't think a lot of people want wireless internet on there.
Starting point is 00:24:49 But I didn't want to add it on. I wanted it on the motherboard. I have 32 gigs of RAM. Nowadays, most people consider that on the high end of appropriate. But my computer is like two and a half years old, something-ish. I don't know, three years old. And at the time they're like, 32 gigs of RAM?
Starting point is 00:25:04 You know, you're a fucking retard and there are people putting more over 64 then 128 or something like crazy stuff that that's so that would probably be the equivalent of me putting in 32 a few years ago and it's like yeah I know but like now that like time is passed and i kind of like scores posted i'm happy you know i've got premiere pro and photoshop up both of them 24 hours a day i use them every day i hate closing them i like having like my my premiere pro has like 18 videos in the most recent video because i just fire up new sequences i use use a lot of RAM, and I'm glad I've got more than 16 for me. Chiz has been saying he's got to build together himself,
Starting point is 00:25:50 and he's saying that he'll pull the trigger when he sees mine all hooked up or something like that. No, I think what he said was he was going to do it later in the fall when maybe new cards came out. But what I said was when he saw mine glowing all beautiful, he's going to be like bye now paypal and paypal in particular makes it so easy to to just go to town spending a bunch of money on electronics it was i might have clicked three times and three grand was gone oh yeah it was
Starting point is 00:26:19 paypal's risky with that just like amazon one click shopping that's what i use where it's like man this is a really cool replica knife from boardwalk empire let's see well i guess i'm getting one be here thursday do this now or let's just let this happen you know yeah i love the one click shopping i think i like the buying experience and amazon i just i feel like the rest of the world you know you ask them to deliver something. It may happen. It may not happen. They're just people.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Be understanding, et cetera. Amazon is like, holy fuck. Sound the alarms. Woody ordered a fucking new wallet. You know, same day shipping, right? That's a thing. I literally get same day shipping here. Like I, I ordered it and I was like, oh, look, same-day shipping is free if you're in Prime.
Starting point is 00:27:07 I'll try it. I was shocked when it showed up that day. I was like, I didn't know you were serious about that the whole time. And there they were. And by the way, it was delivered by U.S. Postal Service. Wow. Everyone acts like they're terrible. That's the most impressive part of of that the fact that they got
Starting point is 00:27:26 it delivered yeah U.S. Postal Service is all I don't know everyone hates on them right especially and I hate to get political because we do it every show Republicans Republicans love to act like they are the worst organization in the world dude they'll send a letter from here to freaking Alaska for like 50 cents. If you gave me 50 cents, I wouldn't give it to my neighbor. I'd be like, no, fuck off. Have you considered that? It's not really for 50 cents, though. That's how much we paid at point of purchase.
Starting point is 00:27:57 It didn't really cost the taxpayer 50 cents to send that. You are subsidizing the U.S..s postal service i don't think they take any federal money anymore yeah i think they did do they not ever since now they have to compete with ups i believe that's the case or fedex i think i read a sign in the post office that said we don't get any federal money or something like that like like they were pretty up front about and they lowered their prices but do you remember the post office before FedEx came around yeah back when it was 32 cents
Starting point is 00:28:30 it was affordable before competition forced them to make a non-shit service everyone says that they never lost my mail they don't lose my mail they used to charge like 32 cents and they'd take it anywhere and it showed up in a few days I was just like I don't know why everybody hates you guys like they never got the magic cards to me
Starting point is 00:28:49 on time all of my trading card game supplies i would have to be like all right i'm going to something three weeks from now i better fucking anticipate what my strategy is going to be and order some cards because i can't trust these fuckers to get it here on time otherwise when it says five to seven day shipping or something as like the worst case scenario, I always would add a few days because it's like, ah, nah. Maybe business days. Hey, do you want to talk about Game of Thrones? I want to go. Let me go.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Yeah. I feel like there's no pleasing me, right? So look, I enjoyed episode 10. I'll even say episode 10 was probably top three this year, and this might be the best year ever. Having said that, I feel like Game of Thrones is like, I don't know, bipolar on their pacing. More happened in episode 10 than season four, right?
Starting point is 00:29:41 Like everything, they just checked every box spoilers coming r plus l equals j seriously blows up westross danny's headed across the sea aria is a master assassin um am i missing any big check marks on this like well i i think what you've got to keep in mind is you know you got a picture you have to picture the big story arc of Game of Thrones. It's not like it's the wire. They just all happen to land on the same episode? No way. Because, like, if this was the Game of Thrones
Starting point is 00:30:14 of two years ago, is his name Varys? Varys? Whatever that guy's name is? Right? There would be seasons devoted to his journey back and forth to Dorne. Because they literally devoted a fucking season to Tyrion traveling to see Daenerys, right? I'm not making this up.
Starting point is 00:30:30 No, he was just, well, between seasons. No, no. There was like a season of him on the boat, him on the land, him talking his way out of them taking his midget cock, you know. It was only a couple episodes. I don't think that was a whole season. It was nearly a season of
Starting point is 00:30:46 him traveling to denarius it's another issue of pacing of there's so much shit to be achieved that they they kind of have to pace it oddly and i think i mean these these end of season things where they have a bunch of things come to fruition like at the end of the day it's a it's an hbo program they want to make money so of course they're going to end it with a ton of things come to fruition like at the end of the day it's a it's an hbo program they want to make money so of course they're going to end it with a ton of shit where you're like oh god i can't wait for the next season a whole nother year like they've already got people hyped up but i hear you but the pacing i don't think you can the pacing is bipolar and there's no way to deny that it is just completely undeniable that like i i swear episode 10 of season 6 did as much as season 4 did
Starting point is 00:31:28 you know i think in terms of plotline advancement i don't think it should be a consistent like ah yes we hit our high hat of excitement for this episode now we move into the three minutes of somber brooding by character x uh i think that that is what partially keeps it exciting. Like you don't know watching an episode if it's going to go crazy or if it's going to be a buildup episode. There's a lot of cool things. You get a treat episode. A couple of things happened in episode 10 that I feel like they didn't cook
Starting point is 00:31:56 properly. Like, you know, in terms of storytelling, you can let it simmer a little bit sometimes. And I complain about this. They let it simmer way too long. But like episode 9.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Perfect. Amazing. They told you two things over the course of an hour. It was perhaps the best episode of Game of Thrones that's ever been. Right? Then season, or episode 10 comes along and all the sudden it's a whole season worth of stuff
Starting point is 00:32:24 that happened and I just feel like you didn't really cook it properly. You didn't, I don't know. I don't think it was a whole C it was a whole seasons worth, if you will, of like the action happening and the decisions finally being handed down. But what built up to all of those decisions was episodes and episodes and tons of minor little plot devices along the way so
Starting point is 00:32:46 the various stuff right the various stuff by itself right he leaves he goes to dorn he like meets with is her name oberyn what's the no what his name the marta the martel grandmother oh oh well no the martel grandmother i'm talking about right he meets with the martel grandmother it's like o-y-l-l-n or something like that elena it's elena that's the tyrells oh i'm sorry what did i say the the uh elena tyrell met with the martells, who are the uninteresting sand folk. Yes. So Grandma Tyrell met with the people of Dorne. Varys was there. And then Varys is back on the ship.
Starting point is 00:33:37 That kind of thing, they would literally devote, like, 40 minutes of screen time to, like, just traveling back and forth to Dorne in previous seasons, right? The whole, like, Jaime, Bronn thing in Dorne, previous seasons right the whole like Jaime Bronn thing in Dorne right they did that there the whole Tyrion traveling thing they did that there like this is consistent now I guess thankfully they didn't spend too much time on the travel but
Starting point is 00:33:56 they didn't cook the things that happened in this episode somehow to me I didn't mind I looked at the map a little bit to see just how much traveling Varys was doing there. Because sometimes, and I think I've got the map pretty well down now. I know where King's
Starting point is 00:34:12 Landing is as far as the continents go and everything. And I wanted to know where Old Town was too. I was like, where the fuck is Old Town? It's kind of southwest on the Westerosi continent. But he did, he made a pretty good boat journey but it wasn't like he made like it wasn't the boat journey that sam made like remember when sam
Starting point is 00:34:30 went from the the wall down to uh fucking wherever yeah i don't think he he took the boat to like uh oh yeah because he went by his home first yeah yeah like that was a pretty long boat ride he went on um it wasn't that bad i feel like you needed him back on the boat with them um yeah and i just assume when i see stuff like that that lots of time has passed because it has yeah i forget there was um i didn't notice it watching myself but i watched you know there's like alt shift X and some other Game of Thrones YouTube channels. They were able to be like, you know, well, not only did that take some time, but
Starting point is 00:35:10 the Arya getting to kill the Freys, which is a whole other storyline, by the way, that just popped up. Like, Arya left Braavos, and then the next thing we know, she's got a knife at some guy's throat, you know, Walter Freys. I didn't catch that in the meals was his two
Starting point is 00:35:26 sons. Fingers. Yeah. They're right here, my lord. They were hard to carve. Especially Black Waldo. Somehow that whole thing didn't process as I watched it in the show, but then I saw I go to these YouTube videos and I was like, ooh, so he served him his two sons.
Starting point is 00:35:43 It took Walter a minute to catch on, too. Did you just think that he was like you know i'm a vegetarian you know and then she'd be like ah you've been foiled again so her journey there i i want to know about that one too i was like how long is that's the main reason i was looking at the map i was like characters moved around a lot this last episode seemingly how far did they move so bravos um is sort of on the northwestern edge of uh essos um so she he has so she crosses the the sea but yeah that's yeah the narrow sea and uh when she gets over to westeros it's not that far to get to the wait a minute they were at the not the twins
Starting point is 00:36:30 but what's it called where are the frays from where was that held that's the twins is it the twins yeah the frays control the riverlands there that's the riverlands you're right so it's not that far it wasn't that far to the twins they all seem plausible journeys i guess so the youtube video i was talking about
Starting point is 00:36:50 said yes some time has passed we know this not just by various teleportation with air quotes but we also know it by aria's journey as well like they're not these things all took some time they just didn't devote a season to traveling on boat and sand like they once did so i'm okay with that yeah and if you remember back like like we talked you talked you mentioned tyrian's journey from west rose to to essos to get to the calise but they literally skipped over the boat ride itself they they showed him at the end of one season he's on the boat let there was They showed him, at the end of one season, he's on the boat. No, I remember him vomiting. I remember him being... There was a whole boat scene.
Starting point is 00:37:31 One boat scene is nothing compared to what actually happened in the book. They skipped the entire thing of Tyrion being on the boat, going slowly up the river as he's deteriorating into alcoholism and then the stone men jump down and attack the boat and slowly up the river as he's deteriorating into alcoholism. And then the stone men jump down and attack the boat,
Starting point is 00:37:48 and it's a big thing. That was a huge amount of time, and they just skipped it, which I'm glad because that wouldn't have been very... He was in a box the whole time. Yeah, he was in a box the whole time in the boat. And then he was on a box like they were carried or something over land, and he did sort of devolve into alcoholism in the show too. They spent some time
Starting point is 00:38:06 on the journey. It took a while to get there, but I like that because the time was spent with Jorah and that was a huge part of the story. Learning more about Jorah, Jorah learning more about Tyrion. Them not really becoming friends, but coming to an understanding
Starting point is 00:38:21 and they're both honorable men, so that worked out for them in the end, for both of them. Tyrion kind of speaks up for Jorah in front of the Khaleesi and vice versa. I didn't have a problem with that. If they spend a whole season going from one end of the continent to the other and a lot of stuff happens that makes the character grow, I'm good with it. But we don't want to hang out with just berries by himself. There's some friends that are better
Starting point is 00:38:48 if you've got Paul and John too. You don't want to hang out with just Rick because just Rick by himself is no fun. But if you've got Paul and John there, we can all have a good time. Yeah, then it's the crew. You just slap berries on the back. Yeah, man, look at those flowers over there. Don't worry about those
Starting point is 00:39:04 women berries. I'm going to take a piss. Let's just... Yeah, man, look at those flowers over there. Don't worry about those women. Varys has some of my... I'm going to take a piss. Let's just... You want to watch? Varys' wisdom and his conversations have some of the highest highs in the whole show history to me. But you're right.
Starting point is 00:39:18 He needs people to talk to. Yeah, right. Varys by himself I've never seen do anything interesting. But please, if you happen to be in charge of the Game of Thrones and you're watching this it would be really neat if Varys and Littlefinger talked again I'd like to see them talk all the time that's some of the greatest
Starting point is 00:39:34 stuff. Varys is like a character that's great but like Kyle said like he needs he needs someone to banter with in all of his scenes like he's not as independently like Tyrion can talk to a slave or something who's clearly not educated and be
Starting point is 00:39:49 funny and have banter and get it going. Varys isn't like that. He's just more of a somber character. You couldn't have Varys being clever with a beggar at King's Landing being like, oh, you don't even begin to know the impact the Queen has on your life.
Starting point is 00:40:05 And he's like, you what? What are you saying? I worked on the docks of dicks! So, do you guys not see my thing at all where maybe season 10, while good, packed too much into it? They didn't fully cook some of the things. I was 100% happy with it
Starting point is 00:40:24 because I feel like it gets us fresh for the war to come. I feel like it was getting all the... It was like, forget... Let's get... It was putting an end to the game. Everything that's been happening so far ended. It all hit a dead end, and it's all changing directions now.
Starting point is 00:40:40 Everything is completely broken, put back together, or realigned in some way. And now it's time for everything to coalesce again, and go in different directions at different people. Because now you've got, the North is together now. All the way down to Riverrun, I would imagine,
Starting point is 00:40:56 because you've got the Freys knocked out now. They'll get washed right over. You've got the Tullys are going to take Riverrun, led by Edmure now, who's pissed as fuck after spending the last couple years in a prison. And he's a decent actor.
Starting point is 00:41:12 I get him back out of the mix. The old Ironborn, the uncle, he's obviously going to side with Cersei to maybe try to give her his fat cock. And Cersei, with the best wardrobe that I've ever seen in Game of thrones that episode looked like some sort of warrior queen herself she looks so menacing and that smile on when when
Starting point is 00:41:32 when the baler uh when the sept of baler blows up that smile is just i loved it i i i i could i related to her and i never brutal there's more so and this would be hard to pick up on your own but john snow being azor ahai right that like warrior that saves everybody had more proof like he was supposed to be born under the protection of like the sword with the shooting star right so then they go back and they play ned having taken this like special sword from the guy that he just killed by stabbing him in the back or whatever um the other guy stabbed him in the back and he caught him so that sword they put it at the base of the bed and it has like a comet on it or something in their sigil and like it just lays out all the pieces of the prophecy so john snow is azor high almost indisputable and cool i'm
Starting point is 00:42:28 down with that you know what else i learned that i wasn't sure on before the mountain is almost 100 definitely an unnatural being at this point with some he it there is some some demon magic going on there do you see his face? I saw his face brightened up. I'm sure we all saw it. And I read through that thread for literally an hour and a half and tried to absorb as much, you know, information about that as I could. Everyone was, I think most people understood that he was probably going to rape her. But then there was the conversation of, you know,
Starting point is 00:43:03 can a zombie even get it up? Rape the septa, you know, the big nun. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. He takes the helmet off, you know. I thought it was very clear that Cersei commanded the mountain to rape the nun or whatever. Yeah, he's done that before. Like, that's his thing.
Starting point is 00:43:22 Oh, that's right. Yeah, he's a bad guy. He's all about right yeah and a prolific murderer for people that don't know the the mountain's all about rape that's a thing that he does he loves rape um he goes from like village to village just raping him and uh sometimes he doesn't even have complete approval to like take out that village so now all of a sudden like i think robert baratheon is in, like, a weird position. He's like, oh, shit, you know.
Starting point is 00:43:49 I really like having him on my side, but he's kind of embarrassing me with all this rape. We'll see. That's what, like, the stories were. They're like, well, they're coming across towns, and all the men are cut in half. They're like, hmm, who could have done this? The seven kingdoms could swing hard enough to kill 30 men. Cutting them in half. The mountain, there's no other person named the mountain or the titan or the monolith in this entire region.
Starting point is 00:44:21 So it's got to be fucking you. And you just put your fucking email signature is rapin' all day air day. So, come on. It's not helping out. Like, we know it's you. Yeah, so, so I think he is definitely an unnatural being now, which, which, which, um,
Starting point is 00:44:38 makes me think that, like, you know, that dark sorcerer, what's Cersei's, uh, he's now the Hand of the Queen, uh, Cersei's, uh, maester. What's his name? I the hand of the queen uh cersei's uh maester what's his name i don't even remember his i call him evil maester so evil maester um is definitely up to not only what i used to think was like science i used to think he was a scientist that's what i thought about him i was like this guy's got tubes and hoses and stuff like clearly he's trying to purify he's trying to do some sort of blood dialysis to the mountain some sort of medieval blood dialysis i was like wow
Starting point is 00:45:09 this is science not magic it only appears to be magic because you know they'll say you know these are medieval people so now i'm pretty sure there's some there's some magic going on there because and i'm sure we all noticed the mountain hasn't changed his armor since the last time someone stabbed him. Like, I bet he just smells like a big rotting corpse all the time with flesh slothing off. Did you guys answer, were we intended to think that that stabbing hit him or there was space in the chest plate? I think it was intended to show that it hit him because it clearly got in there really deep. He just didn't care. Yeah, they said his blood ran black now.
Starting point is 00:45:49 In the books, it's that other guy. He's got a fake name. I guess that's a book spoiler. Let's not talk about that. But anyway, yeah, the mountain got hit in the heart with some sort of baseball bat with spikes on it. And the mountain, you know, I guess it made him angry but he noticed it yeah he was like that's about all you could say he was offended and even then barely noticed it it was
Starting point is 00:46:15 only when cersei commanded him to do something that he kind of was like well all right time to do this fatality that's why i was thinking I've been thinking the whole time that the mountain has some sort of black magic evil shit in him that is only available now that the dragons are back and magic's reintroduced or whatever because there's no fucking way that that crazy ass
Starting point is 00:46:37 maester, that this is the first time he's tried this. Yeah, I'm the last one to jump to conclusions, but I felt certain of that. There are dozens of cobbled together, failed golems thrown in the back there of just dead people that he sewed together, and he's like, goddammit, it didn't work. And then he did it with the mountain, and the magic is back in the world,
Starting point is 00:46:54 and it worked. The same shit worked. And even he's like, wow. Do you remember why they kicked him out? Why they broke his chain, or whatever they call it? It was because of his dark experiments. Yeah. He was dabbling with dark magic. As you do.
Starting point is 00:47:10 Yeah. And for a while, I guess dabbling in dark magic just was kind of like a crackpot alchemist thing of like, oh yeah, you do your thing. You try and bring back those evil souls, and now he can do shit for real. I want to see him make his own undead army
Starting point is 00:47:26 to engage in a perennial battle with the undead coming from the north. Constant battle. Undead and undead. How does that work, though? Do you think he could make more of them? To me, he would die and then he'd come back on the other team.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Much like that game mode in modern warfare 3 zombies no infected yeah yeah your point of it being crowded in episode 10 i think really what they want the reason they did that and they wanted to finish it all is because they they're trying to aggregate a lot of the storylines because before this it was like think think of like 10 different tendrils and storylines and they kind of were like all right now there's four like we got everybody into four i like it i just feel like now like i'm thinking back i'm like well what happened episode five could that have had a little more you, so that it could have cooked properly? Why not aggregate those storylines over Episode 8, 9, and 10? Or 7 through 10?
Starting point is 00:48:31 You know, they didn't. We knew that Varys was out there on a journey. And I was, you know, you could only speculate for like two or three episodes as to where he went and what he was up to. Wait, no, it was literally leave in 10 and come back in 10. No. He left before the Khaleesi got back. So he left in 8. Are you right? Am I wrong? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:51 I could be wrong. Because he wasn't there. Mayo left in 7 because, you know, they stagger when the Khaleesi's on screen. He definitely was in Dorne in 10 and on the boats in 10. That's definitely true. Absolutely, yes. I think Taylor really hit it on the head, though. You know, for a long time,
Starting point is 00:49:07 the story seemed to just creep along at such a slow pace, and I bet if you look at when that was happening, it was probably season 4, when they had the most characters and the most storylines, and you could only give the Khaleesi 7 minutes. You could only give Jon Snow
Starting point is 00:49:22 9 minutes a week, but like you said, if you put Khaleesi and Jon Snow in the same room, all of a sudden you get them both for 20 minutes, and that's nice. This might be unpopular, but I kind of wish Game of Thrones would end next year. I feel like two years is too much.
Starting point is 00:49:40 There's not enough time to wrap it up. Oh, work harder. No, I'm okay with a 12- 12 episode season or something, but just get your shit done. What they're doing instead, I think this is rumor, a 7 episode season and an 8 episode season or vice versa.
Starting point is 00:49:56 I'm like, really? You're going to do that and stretch the shit over to your stop? Yeah, I wish R. Martin would just write a giant phone book sized book instead of two more I wish it would just be gargantuan I'm okay with them spreading it out it's more time it's I I want content for us I want to be in love with this show for another year I love this show I really love it I'll tell you another thing that I noticed from episode 10 that was the tops in this
Starting point is 00:50:19 episode in particular was the music that opening uh music it's a it starts out with a piano and you know you're seeing all the pieces kind of fall into place. Cersei's getting dressed, Margaery's getting dressed, the people are filing into the courtroom the sept, everybody's getting ready and that piano music keeps playing building tension, the cellos start coming in more tension, more tension
Starting point is 00:50:37 and then it goes away for a while and then it comes back. It was so good, it built so much tension, it was excellent. and of course the the white wolf the whole new king in the north uh scene got more lady mormont she come she's the best yeah dude i fuck it killed your son at the red wedding and you didn't fight they skinned your father alive and you didn't fight and Lord Glover and just like when it was over
Starting point is 00:51:08 he's just like Lady Mormont speaks harshly truly I felt like every like proud man in the room wanted to like throw his hat on the ground in shame and like look down and cry if I was there I'd have been like
Starting point is 00:51:23 fuck it I pledge my sword to Lady Mormont. John, you're cool and everything, but this bitch rocks. It was great. She's like, I've only got one king, the king in the north. And then each of them in turn pledges their service to her.
Starting point is 00:51:39 It was very good. That was a powerful scene. It was as good as the first one, I think. I really liked that. I like that was a powerful scene um it was as good as the first one i think and uh i like that character a lot i like yes lady i think that now that like the books are like behind the storyline dnd can be a little more flexible and like work lady mormon in next year here's an interesting thing lady Lady Mormont is at an age where she's going to brand this thing. She will be a different looking human
Starting point is 00:52:09 in two years. Unless they just completely change their mind and there's a new Lady Mormont next year. Which is exactly what they did with Daenerys' lover where two seasons ago it was some crazy guy with a gap tooth and a blue
Starting point is 00:52:25 facial hair, or blue hair, and then they just show up the next season as a normal looking Italian guy, and you're like what the fu- That's not the same guy, you never even addressed it. It's only because I know that's supposed to be the same guy that I know, because she's given him flirty eyes, but you have to like
Starting point is 00:52:41 have at least a little bit of dialogue, like oh, I'm liking your hair brown more. Ah, yes, blue was an oversight. I like the scene where she's breaking up with him, and she says, remember, you swore. You swore your sword to me. You swore your life to me.
Starting point is 00:52:57 I want him to be like, that was a different actor. And this blue poop is still fucking. Remember, that guy didn't have a beard i want that pussy that's great hey i haven't the game of thrones talk racked up let me think if there's anything else i want to mention um the r plus l because j stuff the transition between the baby and john i loved like that was a very powerful moment. It was an emotional episode. It felt like powerful moment after powerful moment, and I loved it. Part of my
Starting point is 00:53:31 little gaming setup has got some Game of Thrones shit stuck in it, so this is going to be fun. I love the show so much. I'm looking forward to the new book. It's probably my favorite entertainment platform. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:53:45 What am I looking for here? If we're comparing universe. I think it's my favorite universe. Me too. Absolutely. Yeah, it's very good. Marvel's good to me too. I like it as well.
Starting point is 00:53:57 Although, if Peter Jackson comes out, spends the next five years getting his shit together, and then makes a Lord of the Rings prequel with Morgoth and lots of I don't know, that battle of Numenor or some shit. That would be better than the original trilogy. I think they need to do The Hobbit again and just treat it like when they
Starting point is 00:54:18 did The Hulk with Keanu Reeves and then they did it with Edward Norton, where they just completely didn't mention it. It wasn't Keanu Reeves. Who was it in the original one? The one with the Ang Lee directed. The one where the dogs are attacking him. Oh shit.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Fucking Oh fuck. I can't think of his name. Well it was terrible. And then the next the subsequent Hulk. They didn't address the lore that it happened they just pretended that it didn't exist that's what they need to do eventually with the Hobbit is remake it
Starting point is 00:54:51 correctly do what they do in Spider-Man movies just fuck it Tobey Maguire never existed Kirsten Dunst's teeth were never here just move along what were you saying Woody well it doesn't happen until it happens I'm supposed to fly tomorrow morning. Oh, I can't believe you said that out loud.
Starting point is 00:55:09 Yeah. Don't you know the old airman adage? You know, if you want to fly, keep it nigh. I don't think you do well in a freestyle rap battle. Yeah, so it's weather dependent. And then last time, the weather was strong enough for literally one flight. And it was some other, well, two, I guess. The instructor went, tested the air.
Starting point is 00:55:38 And then the other student went. And then it was like my turn. And they're like, ah, too windy. Fuck. And then the next day was never even a close call. Like you wake up in the morning and it was just crazy windy. So that was that. Tomorrow I'm supposed to fly.
Starting point is 00:55:53 And I was supposed to go tomorrow and the next day. But that might change based on weather reports. I'm not sure. But it looks like tomorrow morning I'm flying. I'll believe it when I see it i'm not far uh everyone like my wife like blames me she's like you think you're ready you know i'm not so sure and it's like what do you know like why are you doubting me i was supposed to fly two lessons ago aviation expert i just like why are you doing this to me uh you know she's like you're never
Starting point is 00:56:25 happy i'm glad marco's you know like making you extra slow and it's like ah i guess you know marco was gonna have me fly on lesson six but the weather didn't work out so i took six and then seven when it didn't work out now i'm going eight why are you doubting that i'm ready on eight when i was ready on six i'm even better anybody else in your class who's also being kind of slowed down? So, like, are you in class eight with a bunch of class sixers who are expecting to fly then? I don't understand the question. It's kind of the opposite. Like, did you start a class?
Starting point is 00:56:56 Do you start classes for flying independently? Or is it like, all right, aviation class of 2016, congratulations. So, I started with a group and I am the only one in that group who's already flying so I think it's the opposite of what you were thinking yeah there's a couple other guys who are gonna join us like afternoon but they're not flight ready so I'm they're pushing me into people who've been training longer hopefully you get you get up in the air I would I want two things. Hopefully you get up in the air.
Starting point is 00:57:26 I want two things. One is to get up in the air. I would really like that. Two, on day one, they teach me to kite that wing. And then it's like, hey, practice this at home. I hope that I'm encouraged and approved to fly at home. Like, yeah, Woody, all right. Now you're golden golden i want you to
Starting point is 00:57:46 fly to get 20 flights and come back like that would be great to me i hope it's not like all right you can do this but you without me talking in the radio in your ear this is no go for you like i if i were to come home in that status then it would only be a partial win at this point though if he tells you, I don't want you up in the air without me in your ear, pilot, you could just say, yeah, no thanks. I feel pretty comfortable. I'm going to go ahead and fly around my own manor.
Starting point is 00:58:16 Thank you. I haven't done that yet. That's always on the table. You don't even need lessons. The whole reason he's teaching me is just so I don't kill myself. I could divert from that path or not any time. But thus far, I've been listening to my expert. If he thinks I'm not ready to fly solo, I'll probably think the same.
Starting point is 00:58:38 But I'm hoping that it's like, yeah, you got this. You know, go fucking explore Raleigh. You know, like, I hope that's where the next step. Hopefully it works out. Dude, I have been chomping at the bit to fly. Every day, like, how come you hold me back? I want to go, I want to go, I want to go. Like an insolent three-year-old.
Starting point is 00:58:57 And then when it was time to fly and it was actually my turn, I didn't say it out loud, but in my head I'm like, can I just back the fuck out of all of this? Like, can I just pretend I didn't say it out loud, but in my head I'm like, can I just back the fuck out of all of this? Like, can I just pretend I didn't tell everyone I was taking lessons? Can I just, like, I was kind of nervous and I'm interested to see how that carries over. Like, flying when it was an abstract concept, like watching other people in their paramotors via YouTube video was really cool. Now that I picture me in that seat like 600 feet in the air, like, like, hell. You don't want to be the guy tumbling down, screaming in fear that me and Kyle are laughing at in a YouTube video.
Starting point is 00:59:35 I want those straps to be really secure. And they are. There's like double straps. Like if the straps give out, there's another one holding you in. But I just like, I don't know. If I sat you on a lawn chair 600 feet in the air, you'd just be like, dude,
Starting point is 00:59:53 what if I tip forward or something? I don't know. The whole thing seems... You can't because there's a backpack strap on, but I... I'm a little psyched out by this whole scenario. i think it happens tomorrow morning i think once you're up in the air like actually taking off very quickly you'll be like this is awesome i love this or very quickly you'll be like what the fuck was i thinking? I don't belong in the sky.
Starting point is 01:00:32 I'm a human being with a fan on my back, soaring anxiously at God's whim, staying in the air. By the mercy of nature, you are held aloft. So one of those two thoughts. I am even more psyched out than I was 30 seconds ago. I just – You're going to be fine. You're going to love it. There's a real chance that I'm – like I don't know. Bird collision is a thing.
Starting point is 01:00:52 I'm 100% sure. Sure it is. Not really. It's because in most things the prop leads. There's a safety netting that goes between me and the prop. So the birds would have to come from behind and catch you or something but if they hit you head I'm talking about you not the fan I'm hitting me if you're going 30 and the goose is going 30 like that's a goose hits you at 60 miles per hour at altitude if a goose
Starting point is 01:01:22 hits you going 60 miles an hour you're already dead like that's that thing's probably out for geese i i watched one youtube video where a guy was talking about how he's had uh bird problems up there so what he does is he takes a bird feeder drills in slightly larger holes fills it with bread crumbs and just allows his flight machine to trail it so that all the birds kind of fall into line as opposed to flying out in front yeah i don't believe you people stay low so he is the lead goose and they just flank off him in a giant v aerodynamic that way the birds don't mind they're getting that draft kind of like when you drive behind a semi save a little bit of gas sure sure yeah i know that's common practice in the paramotor
Starting point is 01:02:10 who's fucking hit you though it would never would of course that goose would be like oh fucking look at that dummy on the parachute yeah yeah it's here you're coming i guess when i was at a lifeguard i used to swim with dolphins and they'd be like you know can you catch the dolphins no what happens out there is whatever the dolphins choose to happen like that like i have very little influence over whether i touch dolphins or not yeah i'll be like you mean do i chase dolphins down in the water what the fuck are you talking about yeah and the creatures that are made to swim well like Like, if a dolphin came up on land, do you think any of them could beat you in a game of tag? No.
Starting point is 01:02:49 They're in our world there, and we're in their world there. We think that, like, wow, I'm pretty good at swimming. To us, or to them, looking at us swimming is like us watching them on the beach just... struggling. They look at us like, what the fuck is that stupid monkey doing in my house? They're trying to help us. They think we're drowning.
Starting point is 01:03:08 I would just swim out into the middle of the pod and then if they came close, they came close. If they didn't, they didn't. It was all their choice. I feel like with geese, it's the same sort of thing. If they bump into you or not, they're in complete control of the situation. They're going quicker.
Starting point is 01:03:26 They don't... Geese are mean. They are mean. I need a paintball gun. I've been saying, so my first thoughts of the flying machine are things that you can drop from it or shoot from it. I'm thinking like
Starting point is 01:03:41 get some water balloons up there, get the family out in the field. I'm thinking like paintball gun, airsoft gun i really want a gun though i just want a fucking gun i want to get a you put a shell catcher on it so that you're not getting brass going into the the fan behind you so they're all going to bag right there on the side of the rifle and oh you can have a lot of fun fn 2000 doesn't eject the first, what, three, seven shells? Something like that. And then they kind of go out the front. I still want a shell catcher. We always stuck them on there
Starting point is 01:04:11 in the choppers. They were like, if that 308 hole hits that rear rotor, we're going down. Really? Well, maybe. I don't know. Dylan, you want to find out? Put the fucking thing on your don't know. Dylan. I don't know. Tape it off. You want to find out?
Starting point is 01:04:26 Put the fucking thing on your gun. Exactly. People know Dylan. He was the guy that helped me start Woody Craft. He's his helicopter pilot. Some guys know him. Anyway, he always had these video ideas. He's like, how about I'm in my chopper, and you throw a watermelon at the rotor?
Starting point is 01:04:39 And I'm like, is that safe? It sounds like, could you do that? He's like, oh, they're really strong. He was younger at the time. He was like 15 or 16. Like his judgment might have been bad. I guess out there that maybe if the chopper like sat on the ground and just got them going, you know, and so that they're, you know, they're still going incredibly fast. Then maybe that's cool.
Starting point is 01:05:01 that's cool but I know one thing for sure is that those rotors are very very expensive and that if they even get a nick in them or a ding then I don't think they can pass like maybe it's your personal chopper you're like yeah my rotors dinged but if you work with that chopper which is always the
Starting point is 01:05:17 case when we're renting choppers it's you know someone else is going to rent it next week they can't have any dings in the rotor for insurance reasons or maybe because the smallest ding is a vibration thing. I don't know. But throwing a melon in there seems pretty crazy. It does. The melon thing, like, you saying that you could maybe do it on the ground.
Starting point is 01:05:36 Like, yeah, I'm sure maybe you could do it there. Like, you're not going to crash and die. But I was picturing the guy's idea being like B.A. Baracus leaning out the side of a helicopter and, like, heaving it up as it's in the air, which is not safe. You should not be throwing things into the moving turbine. I wonder what Dylan thought was going to happen. Was his thought process like we would get watermelon slices falling
Starting point is 01:05:59 and there'd be a guy with a plate, like, catching it? Yeah, he's treating, like, a a i don't know 10 million dollar helicopter the way the jackass guys treat a port-a-potty where they're like oh we're gonna shoot it in the air and just see what happens we're just getting scenarios we're out 400 bucks you know those jackass guys are asked the cameras that they use um to film the those movies are like eight thousand dollar ten thousand dollar cameras and And we were talking to the production company that worked with them or something one time. We were talking to somebody who was on the film.
Starting point is 01:06:29 And we were like, what do you do with those cameras? How do you, when you're like, you know, jumping a golf cart and, you know, just taking those awful wrecks, like how do you safeguard the camera? And they're like, oh, we just buy extras. And we got plenty. We got a whole warehouse of $8,000 cameras.
Starting point is 01:06:44 Thank God. What fucking 60% of our crew are professional skateboarders or something. How the hell were those people making money aside from just ruining things? If you watch the early seasons, it really gives off the impression of MTV giving a little bit of money to them, but it mainly being like Bam Margera being like, Ah, I own a shoe company or something. Vans! And he just bankrolls people.
Starting point is 01:07:10 Isn't that what it was? Bam bankrolls a lot of guys. You know, they had the Can't Kill Yourself stuff that predates Jackass that didn't have all the crew in it, but when Johnny and Bam got together and got the MTV money, obviously that opens up a lot of avenues, but Bam was before financing guys and is the MTV money. Obviously, that opens up a lot of avenues, but Bam was
Starting point is 01:07:25 before financing guys and is till this day. There's a couple of those guys who just live off Bam. One of the guys got drunk and took Bam's Lamborghini out and totaled it. And so, Bam just let it go because if he
Starting point is 01:07:41 files a police report and an insurance report, then his buddy goes to jail so his buddy just owes him $175,000 so now when Bam says to do something he's just gotta fucking do it Bam has a slave that he has
Starting point is 01:07:57 I can't remember the guy's name but I think it might be the guy who shit in the toilet in that store that time but that guy owes him like $150,000, $180,000, has no way of paying it back. So he just does what Bam says. For most people, $180,000 is
Starting point is 01:08:13 the mortgage they pay off over the course of 30 years. That's normal. It's a huge amount of money. Man, what a jackass to ruin. See, there it was put it all together but that's a pretty sweet life for bam though like it's my understanding that he's not doing too hot anymore ever since ryan dunn died he's in a rehab he's in this rehab tv show now getting uh
Starting point is 01:08:40 like uh dealing with his alcoholism yeah i haven't it, but Stern says that it looks like he's actually getting better. Who knows? That's good. Yeah. Yeah, he didn't handle that well. Who was I talking to that was from up there that was talking about, oh, one of my drivers in L.A. was from Pennsylvania, from that area. And he was talking about how fast he was going or something. And it was really, really fast.
Starting point is 01:09:04 It was on the news. 130, 150, something like that. Something absurd in a sports car. It's bad enough you're going to be a fucking DUI jackass, but get in an old pickup truck and saunter down the road at 30 miles an hour or something. Something that doesn't go 130 miles an hour. Did you see the picture of the car after it hit that tree? It didn't even look...
Starting point is 01:09:27 You couldn't discern what make and model of car that was if you had to. It was mangled. Wrapped around the tree. Yeah, he... Like I said, first of all, get a fucking driver. You're rich as shit. You got tons of friends and presumably everyone
Starting point is 01:09:43 in this whole town thinks you're a hero because you're from here. But if you're gonna drive, get in that old piece of shit truck and saunter along at 30. Don't turn yourself into a not so well guided missile. He got what he deserved. Dumbass. Yeah, that is
Starting point is 01:10:00 beyond the pale. Dumb. Yeah, if it wasn't a tree, it might have been you. Yeah, I don't know i don't get hit by that so he was a drunk driver and he yeah that sucks i hate that going 130 miles an hour on a windy pennsylvania road in not it wasn't even his car was it i think it was his car but i don't remember those like nitty-gritty details. I could be wrong, but I remember reading 130 miles an hour, 110, 130, something fast, and then imagining it being on a highway.
Starting point is 01:10:32 No. No, it was on a windy two-lane Pennsylvania road. He was drunk, right? Yes. To me, the story ends there. I don't know. He's drunk. Fuck him.
Starting point is 01:10:44 Well, I mean, he wasn't the only one in the car. I'm taking a bold stance. Dr's drunk. Fuck him. Well, I mean, he wasn't the only one in the car. I'm taking a bold stance. Drinking and driving is bad. Wow. I can't wait for the pushback on this one, but I'm going to stick with it. This is the next Robin Williams.
Starting point is 01:10:58 Someone else was in the car, though, right? So one of my high school died that way. I don't think the driver... I forget what the scoop of the driver was. He may or may not have been right? So one of my high school died that way. The, uh, uh, I don't think the driver, I forget what the scoop with the driver was. He may or may not have been impaired in some way, but, uh,
Starting point is 01:11:11 everyone in the car was really hurt and one of them died. And it was, yeah. And I shouldn't talk about it in this way, but it's totally true. So the people in the car were like the it crowd you know very popular guys and girls and some people in the high school totally not me i swear honest but they were almost like connecting themselves to them by grieving so much like oh my
Starting point is 01:11:42 god i'm so upset christopher's gone. Oh, shut up. You didn't hang out with Christopher. You're ugly. And he didn't like you. And, you know, he was the freaking captain of the football team. And you're acting like, you know, you can't. You didn't give a shit about you. You can't. Look how little you are and how great he was. Fuck you, you piece of shit. I would have kicked your ass like he would if he were here right now. Now this girl's like rewriting history. Like, yeah, yeah, that guy and me, we were so tight. Without him being alive to be like, we weren't tight.
Starting point is 01:12:10 You know? Like, it was a way to, like, ooh, I can finally get in the in crowd. That's a scary thought. Who's going to show up at your funeral and pretend to be your friend? And all your other friends there aren't going to be able to be like, hey, you weren't taylor's friend no one's going to call him out like that at my funeral someone looks like a real asshole if some dude just comes in he's like yeah you know i'm his old scientology buddy he never told you guys about that no yeah that's horrible that was pretty much and there was more than one person doing that just like you know oh my god, I'm so emotional upset about this.
Starting point is 01:12:46 It's like, no, this is just a sideways way into the in crowd. How many Prince fans were there last month? A lot. I wasn't one of them. I mean, I like Purple Rain, I guess. But I didn't know that guy's real fucking name or where he lived or what his whole history was. And I still don't care. I feel like...
Starting point is 01:13:05 Just be honest. You're not into something. Yeah, exactly. I'm not against Prince or anything, but the thing I enjoyed most about him is the story that Charlie Murphy told. Charlie Murphy! That shit was true. I've heard other things about him being really good at a lot of sports, although it just seems like bullshit because he's a little bitty guy.
Starting point is 01:13:23 A little bitty guy. Yeah, he was really small. The other is another. Oh, Muhammad Ali died. And while I'm really into combat sports, like, I don't know. Like, I get that Muhammad Ali was a great heavyweight fighter. But the rest of his impact on society is kind of lost to me. Like, I didn't really know how to feel about it.
Starting point is 01:13:44 There's some good. There's some bad, there's whatever. And this might be... Oh, God, here, I'm going to do it to myself. He wasn't Muhammad Ali those last couple years. He was kind of suffering, trapped in the wrong body, not with it. That's probably for the best.
Starting point is 01:13:57 I didn't care much for the man. It's just really nice to watch that guy fight because he's incredibly fast and talented and he the way he early in his career he's as fast as grease lightning late in his career he has to become the the the smart rope the doping defensive master and it no one's you don't see people do both of those things it's incredible that he was that he was great at both and champs at both but the guy was you know rumbled in the jungle look at what he was great at both and champs at both. But the guy was rumbled in the jungle.
Starting point is 01:14:25 Look at what he was doing. Was it Foreman that he was fighting? It wasn't. Frazier. Calling Frazier a monkey. Call him a gorilla. Look at your dark skin. Saying the same things that the slave masters used to say to the dark-skinned blacks
Starting point is 01:14:38 to add a hierarchy there between the light-skinnedned blacks and the dark skinned blacks. He's going right in with that. Calling him a monkey calling him the n-word. Just as racist as anyone. I guess you could say maybe he's psyching him out getting at his head and it definitely fucking worked. When he goes in there they're fucking chanting they're chanting not Ali Ali
Starting point is 01:15:00 it's something. I can't think of the African what is it Mutamba Muhammad Ali or some shit like that you know they're chanting for Ali and Africa and then Frazier just complete opposite that was a great fight too apparently up until
Starting point is 01:15:15 Ali's very late years and maybe even still probably not still because Ali's dead but like he hated Muhammad Ali because Muhammad Ali made it his job to fucking hate on Joe Frazier apparently and I learned all this when he died because I did like a quick google and I'm like I didn't know about this I'd heard about Joe Frazier beating Muhammad Ali but I don't know anything about it like I didn't know they fought three times I didn't know much of that
Starting point is 01:15:41 shit at all but looking into it it's always eye-opening to be like oh you never this is that stuff that got that's not going to get lost anymore with the with the internet like this is the stuff that like we're in the last bit of time where people are dying and because they didn't come up with the internet that you can like put aside all the shitty things they did you know be like oh well you know so what if one of the beatles was really anti-semitic or something like he didn't tweet about it like like there's no real evidence or you know who cares walt disney hated jews that's a that's a thing that's true yeah that's definitely true that is very true he was very anti-semitic and i mean go back and watch that dumbo uh cartoon what do you think those crows up there talking all that jive and wearing bandanas are supposed to represent?
Starting point is 01:16:28 The white man. The black man, obviously. Oh, my bad. I thought for sure they were going to be Korean. Some of those old Disney movies come off pretty racist. They are very racist. Yeah, the Tom and Jerry stuff, too. Yep, yep, yep. The Looney Tunes were racist too.
Starting point is 01:16:47 Porky the Pig said some pretty rough stuff. What did Porky the Pig say? During WW2, he said some rough stuff. It was really funny to see the World War II. The World War II Looney Tunes are funny because not only are they completely not politically correct, but there's a little propaganda mixed in there.
Starting point is 01:17:03 Maybe Daffy Duck or maybe like Bugs Bunny goes over and roughs up Hitler or something like that you got a lots of lots of funny shit there's Japanese people but they have like very large but huge glasses yeah they're there's a particular way these people just like you're saying those big glasses and like teeth so big they couldn't close their mouths like rats looking back at that it's like oh my god like if you were to show me a picture of that today
Starting point is 01:17:31 I'd be like that's so out there I don't even know if like it almost comes around to not being racist again because nobody can even think that way anymore we see that kind of propaganda every day and we think oh those people are terrible I wouldn't go there we see kind of propaganda every day and we think, oh, those people are terrible. I wouldn't go there. We see propaganda like that
Starting point is 01:17:47 every day and we just gloss over it. Like what? I'm just trying to think of examples. Well, I'm pretty racist to begin with, so I don't want to admit to anybody any slack or anything, but I don't know.
Starting point is 01:18:03 There's a couple, aunt jemima maple syrup right she oh that's a different way that that's sort of uh that one's made its way into your heart into your family life and now it's not even that racist yeah give me some of that uncle ben's rice yeah it's good and aunt jem yeah the aunt jemima syrup the uncle ben stuff that those are all you know i knew uncle ben's was one too but i don't even get that one. Why is Uncle Ben's racist? Because of Uncle Tom's cabin. Back in the day, they used to call and the reason
Starting point is 01:18:31 they called Uncle Tom, Uncle Tom and uncle is like code for an old black man. He's an uncle. If you watch that Confederate States of America thing, they're like is your nanny or your uncle got the arthritis well with a little negro lube you know it's all those all those fake products that they had for uh so i think uncle is definitely a um
Starting point is 01:18:58 just a term for an old black person i don't know because i yeah i see uncle ben's and i think uncle as in like i don't know i have uncles and i'm not racist yeah my dad's brother right my mom's brother um and then ben is just like a man's name and i'm like uncle ben's rice i don't even get it like i've been told it's racist is it like i've never looked it up are black people like known to take subways i'm sorry taylor totally wrong but i always thought the reason that uncle tom was i always thought uncle tom was meant to say like you say uncle to say like oh you're taking the white man's side like you're part of their family you're not really their family you're on the outs like that goes back to the book though
Starting point is 01:19:43 that goes you're absolutely right about that but that goes back to the book, though. You're absolutely right about that, but that goes back to the book. That's when you call someone an Uncle Tom. Now, that's from Uncle Tom's Cabin, the book. But you've got to go back even further to the slave masters kind of referring to a certain group of blacks as uncles.
Starting point is 01:19:59 It doesn't make any sense to us because that was 1850s when this was slang for an old black slave but yeah it's a racist thing I guess I haven't told you this I just don't put it together that's why I like it
Starting point is 01:20:16 there's no way to take it badly yes there are three modern products and I can only think of the two, and I don't get one. Aunt Jemima's. Is there another maple syrup maybe? There's a whole restaurant called Cracker Barrel. There's Mrs. Butterworth, but she's white, so.
Starting point is 01:20:36 Oh, so it can't be racist. It can't be racist. Yes, exactly. Let's end right there. All right. Well, wish me luck. I hope I don't die tomorrow morning. Bye all.
Starting point is 01:20:44 Good luck, man. Good luck.
