In Killer Art Ready, episode 287 with our guest, the fabulous and much requested, Boogie.
Hi, I'm back!
I'm always excited to have Boogie on.
Yeah, I'm really excited to be on, so glad to have you, so glad to be back.
It's been about, what, six months? We do this like every six months it seems like, right?
We gotta thank our sponsors, Boogie!
Oh yeah, okay.
I forgot to pay you, so I thought I'd pay you for the privilege.
Big thanks to Blue Apron, Neon Deez, Trunk Club, Headspace, Casper, and all the PK sponsors.
We're going to be talking about them more later on in the show.
We'll have a couple of mid-roll ads.
We'll talk about them, get into all that.
But, yeah, we're so happy to have Boogie with us.
You are one of my favorite guests that comes on the show,ogie because you've always got interesting views on things and uh i i like that uh you know at first every it was
always about your weight or i was like i don't want to hear about his weight there were people
right yeah well what else is there but i like peeling the onion that is boogie oh yeah it gets
real it gets real we were just talking before the show um about uh like i i was talking i look, if my house is haunted, I'm gonna be out there with a thing of gasoline, a hundred pounds of tannerite, I'm gonna leave it a pile of rubble, and somebody's gonna be like, well, haunt this now, you fucking ghost.
And Taylor was like, oh, so you believe in ghosts? And I was like, no.
I think that 99.9999% of the time, no fucking ghosts.
There might have been one ghost or two ghosts ever, but I'm not willing to shut the door completely on that.
And they, of course, all laughed at me.
And then, Boogie, you spoke up.
What did you say, Boogie? Can you repeat it for the show?
If you want, I will tell you the story about the time I met my mother's ghost.
Making me look much less insane.
We want to start it off upbeat, get people in a good mood.
We started with Kyle being a crazy person that believed in ghosts,
and now by comparison...
Not even believe in them.
I believe in the possibility that maybe...
I'm not willing to close the door and say,
no, there are no ghosts,
there never were, there never will be,
no ghosts ever, ever, ever.
It's bullshit.
100%.
I can't say that.
Yeah, but you could say like,
yeah, but there's like no evidence for ghosts.
So until there's evidence,
there, you know, let's just assume it's not real.
Well,
look,
it's,
it's,
it's one of those things that's sort of ingrained in,
in the mythos of so many cultures.
You know,
everybody,
there's legends about it,
stories about it.
Of course,
of course.
That,
that's what I believe is most likely.
But there's that little grain of sand that might be that,
you know,
there were some,
some Aztecian ghosts or something that something. Ah, Aztecian.
Yeah, they were always into that human
sacrifice and eat hearts and stuff.
Maybe that, you know...
There's that whole Day of the Dead thing
that they're doing on there still.
I can't wait
to get to the story about Boogie's mom.
But I feel like we can't disprove
any of that Pastafarian stuff
either, right?
You know, that God in his tentacle madness has placed all these archaeological fact-based carbon dating stuff throughout the planet in an effort to throw us off.
They draw a link between pirates and global warming.
Dude, I hate the Pastafarian thing.
I love it.
global warming. I hate the Pastafarian thing.
I love it. It's just a way
for people to kind of be douchey and
arrogant about them being smarter than you
when really it's like if you were trying to convince someone
who is religious to drop it and like
show them by evidence, the best way to do it
isn't to mockingly compare what they
believe in to pasta in the sky.
It's like that's just showing that you're trying to be a cunt
a little bit, just a little bit.
That's my favorite part. And what you should be doing if you actually want to change people's mind is be a little more compassionate and understand where they're coming from.
No, my favorite part about the Pastafarian thing is that I enjoy all my like-minded cunts.
Is that what they call themselves?
They call themselves Pastafarians, I think.
So you call them cunts.
There's something to do with...
And you self-identify as a cunt.
Yeah, I was going to say I don't call them cunts. I call us cunts.
There's a slight difference.
I always know that I'm on PKA when we've used the word cunt
40 times before the first 10 minutes.
I'm sorry, Mom.
That's just to use people in to this whole new
upsetting layer of your life
we're about to delve into because it seems like every time we have you on it's like oh fucking
boogies on here let's be jolly and cheer and you're like oh that reminds me the time i lost
six dogs and in a weekend but that's what i'm good at man like that's the you they say you talk
about what you know you write about what you know you create what you know and this is what i know
this is what i talk about you know mean, don't get me wrong,
the last six years of my life has been fucking amazing.
But, you know, I had
35 years before that, and those 35
years make up the bulk of my life, and so most
of my stories come from that.
I can tell you about the time that my wife blew me in
a beautiful hotel in New York City, you know,
and that story exists too, but
it's not nearly as interesting.
We'll have to get to that one.
No, you've captured my interest, Boogie.
I told that one last week.
I'll hear about the ghost.
Yeah, let's get to the ghost.
So my mom passed in 2009.
And I went to be by her side as she passed, and I held her hand even as she passed.
And I'll tell you one of the things.
There's a whole story about that too.
Maybe you'll save that for the next BKA.
But I'll tell you, I was holding her hand, and they took off the machines, they gave her some morphine to make sure she passed comfortably, you know,
and like she was already in an induced coma, and it's so funny, because I could kind of tell that
she was not there anymore, like she was alive one second, and not the next, but it was such like a
minor thing, like it, you know,
I expected like bells and whistles and for a soul to float up to the sky. Cause that's what you
think is going to happen, but no, she's there. Her body is technically alive, objectively alive.
And then it's objectively dead. The heart has stopped beating. The brain has stopped functioning
and now she's gone. And I sat there with her about 20 or 30 minutes after they said she was dead and
just waited for something to happen. Another ever did. It was not magical. It wasn't spiritual.
It wasn't anything.
It was just, you know, meat.
It was meat.
You know, my mother was in there for one second and then the next second it was just a pile
of meat and there's very, very little difference.
So as depressing as that is.
But six months later, so I'm sitting at home.
This is about three months later.
And it's my first Christmas alone, you Christmas alone without my mother in my life.
And me and her had always been very close.
Even though it was a shitty relationship, it was a close relationship.
And I would go home and visit her every year for Christmas.
I didn't have anywhere to go.
And I'm sitting there playing World of Warcraft.
And I feel this hand on my right shoulder.
And I immediately recognized the feeling.
It's exactly the way my mom's hand felt as I was
holding her hand as she died. It's exactly the way that it felt. And so I immediately turned my head
and nothing was there. And I stood up and I looked around and my mother was a chain smoker
and I could smell smoke in the apartment. Nobody in my apartment smokes. And I said, mom, hello?
smoke in the apartment. Nobody in my apartment smokes. And I said, mom, hello? Nothing. I look around. I look through the two doors. I kind of walked into the living room, nothing. So I turned
back around. I sat down on my stool and I start typing into guild chat what just happened. And
then I feel the hand a second time on my right shoulder. And my brain says, don't turn around.
Like, obviously you can't see her. Obviously you can't interact with her. She's really there. Say whatever you got to say.
And so I said, mom, I love you. And then I didn't feel the hand anymore. And then she was gone.
Now I have since spoken with the therapist about this. And the therapist says, honestly,
I don't know. And whatever you want to believe is what you should believe.
But I personally think, and I think the therapist also leaned towards, I was in a very grief-driven state. I definitely did not get
as much closure as I needed. I probably never will. And my mind had maybe generated that experience
or something to that effect to where it was believable. I mean, you know, you think about it,
your body makes you feel weird shit all the time, right? You shiver, you jerk, you know, you fall asleep, you feel like you're falling. Your body
generates all kinds of weird shit all the time. My brain was in a position to attribute the weird
shit that I was currently feeling to that situation. So I don't know that. Like when you
felt that hand or was it more of like you immediately felt like, I immediately recognized
it as my mother and I immediately was comforted by it
it was not scary or freaky at all and that's what i don't understand about these ghost stories is
like like i love the people in my life that i love but as soon as they're dead it's like i want
nothing to do with you because i don't think that's a good version of you coming back the good
one is somewhere else i feel like it's just get here, Mom! I don't want anything to do with you anymore! I'm the opposite. I would love...
Okay, it is
within my nature to just
shit all over Boogie's
experience, but I don't want that.
I would love to have it.
And I don't want to tarnish it or whatever.
Awesome,
Boogie. I'm glad that happened for you.
I don't truly believe it was my mother,
so you don't have to worry. Be skeptical. I don't truly believe that's what it was. I'm glad that happened for you. I don't truly believe it was my mother, so you don't have to worry.
Be skeptical. I don't truly believe that's what it was.
I still believe I generated it in my brain.
That's it.
My parents are still alive, but if they were hypothetically dead
and I could have even what you had again, I bet I would really value that.
I mean, it was nice.
And whether it be my mother actually reaching out of the grave
to say hey look i fucked up a lot sorry or if it was just her trying to help me get through
christmas or if it was my own brain just tricking me to try to help me get through that period of
that time of grief whatever it was it was very comforting and i very much appreciated it it was
my grandmother if ninny that came back and was like grabbing my shoulder and stuff like i couldn't
deal with that get out of here you You go back to where they sent you.
Wherever that is.
Yeah, demon.
Get out of here, ninny.
You can't be creeping up on me.
That's my thought process.
You had your time.
I would think it was scary more than comforting
because I would immediately jump to like,
they would know not to come back and fuck with me
because they would know I wouldn't like this.
There's something sneaky going on.
I visited my grandmother as she was dying and I was hearing Boogie's story they would know not to come back and fuck with me because they would know I wouldn't like this. Like there's something sneaky going on.
I visited my grandmother as she was dying and I was hearing boogie story.
My grandmother's wasn't anything like that.
Like,
so she was in the ICU and you like,
weren't allowed to come visit people in this section.
Like whatever level of care she was at needed to be like infection free. And like,
he couldn't just go see people.
And,
um,
I went to visit her and,
you know,
there I'm like,
yeah,
you know,
how do,
how do I get to like the ICU?
And they're like,
no,
you can't go back there.
And I'm like,
Oh,
I'm here to see.
And I gave her a name and they're like,
Oh,
well,
yes,
you can go see her.
And I'm like,
dude,
like you get special privileges when they're dying you know
they give you the hookup they let you go anywhere and and watch them at this point you could shit
all over like she's not getting sick this is grief shit you can deal with it so uh yeah so I don't
bother washing your hands in spite of the fact that that like you know you're not supposed to
go to this part with her you were supposed to go to this part with her
you were allowed to go to this part you know i told you i was my grandmother and i went to see
her and then suddenly and i liked her she had a pool that's where i first learned to swim and
and she used to always make like snacks and stuff for us and and she was um i know my my father had
a part of conflict but i still don't know what that was about. All I know is
that she always seemed to open her house to us and seemed to enjoy having us around. That was like
the vibe that I got from her. So that was my impression of her. And I went there and there
she was dying. And I'm kind of like, like, now what do I do? Like, I don't know what to do.
She's just laying there i i talked to her i
think i told her i loved her and she didn't do anything back she didn't tell me she loved me
or anything she just sat there dying or laid there and uh she was like incoherent then oh yeah she
was completely unconscious um i don't know she wasn't spitefully ignoring that's better
was laying there i'm not wasting my last words on you yeah oh no my grandmother was laying there dying. I'm not wasting my last words on you. Oh.
No, my grandmother was, like, laying there dying,
and she's all yellow and jaundiced from her liver shutting down,
and, like, she's not there all the time,
but, you know, I go in there, and she's like,
oh, Kyle, I love you.
You're my number one grandson, and, like, just gasping for air,
and just we're both crying.
It was rough, but she was there and just like no
dying they they told me like hey if you want to see her while she's still alive
today's the day to go see her and uh and i went and i feel like i didn't spend enough time there
it was maybe 15 20 minutes but there was also nothing to like do like i i she's not conscious like i held her hand
she was still warm like i checked like there were almost no signs of life and like you said she was
unconscious and uh i'm just like like you know like i feel like i should say a thing and and i
just and when i left there wasn't really the closure like i wanted this kind of like goodbye
wrap up was it just you two in there at the time yeah and um i felt like like i don't like i was
supposed to do or say something more than i did it was just like there she is she's dying it's
going to be sometime between now and like three days from now and like what do you do exactly
did she know you like did she have the wherewithal to even know you were there?
Absolutely not.
No, no, no.
She just was.
So then question, do you, are you happy you went or is it something you wish you could
go back and have a different memory as the last one of her?
The first, I'm happy I went.
I feel like if I hadn't gone, it would have been out of some like selfish laziness, not
prioritizing her, something like that.
I have all those.
People can feel differently in terms of last memory.
But for me, I still have all those other memories.
They didn't go anywhere.
I just have one more where I came to see her in the hospital at the end.
That's what it is for me.
Hey, welcome to Pinkular. I will say that I feel like, because I saw my father off.
I saw him a few days, well, a few weeks actually before he passed.
And then I saw my mom.
I was with her the day she passed.
I think it's very important.
If anybody out there is ever considering, I mean, it's sad to talk about this kind of stuff.
But I think it's good to give advice in this situation.
If you ever have that opportunity to get that closure with somebody you care about, it's very important.
And even if you can't do anything for them and it doesn't feel like it would do anything for you,
in the end it does a lot for you to know that you did the right thing, you did your best.
And it will really help you put it together.
And I'll tell you that I had my best friend of 30 some years she you know a
girl that I dated in high school we knew each other since we were three years old
she passed a year ago and three days almost to the exact to the date a year
and three days ago and you know I asked her said you know I saw her about a year
before she passed and you know I was like do you want me to come and visit
she's like well I'm not really myself with my brain.
You know, she had cancer in her brain.
She's like, I'm not really myself, and I don't really want you to see me this way.
And selfishly, I didn't really want to see her that way.
I wanted to keep the other memories.
And now that that time has passed and she's been gone a while,
I really wish I had seen her one last time.
So if you ever have that opportunity, you really should do that.
It's the right thing to do.
And it's not just the right thing to do for them.
It's the right thing to do for you.
I don't know.
I don't think I would have wanted to see my grandmother
if she was in a really diminished capacity
where she didn't know who I was.
Right.
Well, how young were you, too?
That's a big thing, I bet.
Oh, it's a couple years ago.
Like, maybe three years ago.
Yeah, but if you're under, like, 17,
I give you a pass for that kind of thing.
Yeah, especially if it's really bad, you know.
I think that if I were like really like demented, like suffering from dementia,
really out of it and only had like little glimpses of, I don't know, clarity.
Lucidity.
If I said, yeah, lucidity.
Like if I said to someone like, yeah, I don't want you to come see me anymore.
I don't want you to see me like that.
And they came back when I was having a moment of lucidity,
I think I'd probably be a little bit upset.
Because I would feel like I was being cheated almost out of my legacy of like,
oh, you know, I remember Uncle Taylor.
Like, oh, he was so funny and fun to be around.
Instead of like, oh, God, just see him laying there like...
All those balls of rancid soup.
I just feel like that would be the worst thing
in the world to have like a moment of lucidity
where you tell everyone,
please don't come visit me anymore.
I don't want you to see me like this.
And then you have another one
as they're all watching you die
and you're like, oh, you fuckers.
Like, oh, now this is going to be on the fucking fridge.
A picture of me frail and dying
instead of the one where I was playing badminton with a beer or something.
No, but then you show them the YouTube videos.
I'll show you the YouTube videos of you, like, pissing in yourself and, like, oh.
That's your legacy.
That's your fucking legacy.
Chatting with grandma.
Liking favorite horror.
I feel like there's a deleted or unlisted video of me snuggling Taylor when he's drunk.
Does that ring a bell at PAX?
Snuggling?
What did I do to you?
What did we do?
Wasn't there some snoring?
I don't remember.
You got...
Maybe snoring?
Oh, a gold glove.
No.
Do I have it mixed up?
I remember you asked me to take it down and I did.
I don't remember what it was of.
That might have been the one snuggling.
Or not so much we as you.
No, you were definitely involved.
I mean.
Who was the big spoon?
That's probably me.
No.
I don't know.
You think I curled into him?
The big spoon is the cuddler.
You know, he's the one like.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
I'd love to spoon you guys, but let me be honest.
It'll be ladling if I'm doing it.
Hope's birthday is tomorrow. She 17 oh nice drive not quite not quite hey hey stop rushing her damn it one step at a time
we just started crossing highways last year on foot um on the driving thing that's on the docket for this summer like she's supposed to be driving
coming out of this summer she has a couple things that she wants to do that require driving her
mother and i have started pushing back on some activity like she'll be like hey you know i want
to go visit my friends tonight or something and we'll be like we're packing tonight like i don't
have time to like and by the way it's always double for us I would drive her anywhere
if a friend is half an hour away
then for her that's half an hour
for us it's two hour long
round trips
that's a lot to ask
and that's a normal distance
for here, her friend's only three minutes from here
that's not a thing
you need to shut down as far as driving her around i had a buddy in high school tyler who as he was like nine months older than me
still in my grade but as soon as i turned 16 i got my license and he still didn't have it didn't
even get the permit and his parents played it to like the second he turned 16 and was like hey can
you drive me so and so or here or there it was
like no no we can't we won't so you can find a ride or you can go get your license the only place
i will drive you is the dmv and he put it off to the point that like all of us as his friends when
we were like you know oh we're going out here there oh can you swing up by and pick me up like
after a while like it was friend guilt. Dude, this is fucking ridiculous.
Why am I picking you up,
shuttling you around?
Go get your goddamn license.
And he did.
That's what hope needs.
A little bit of incentive.
I'm a bit of a too soft
to do what you're talking about,
but it's definitely creeping in more and more.
Dude, and the thing is,
I didn't get support.
I'll lay down the hammer, and Chiz, who lived with us for a while in the thing is, I didn't get support. I'll lay down the hammer.
And Chiz, who lived with us for a while in the guest house, will know.
I'll be like, hey, do this, do this.
And everyone's like, why are you bringing that up, huh?
That's a tender point.
They all pile on me.
And they're like, I'm such a pussy.
They have me go back up and apologize for bringing up driving and
I do it because I'm a fucking oh it's fucking horrible I'm what do you say no take us through
she she asks you to drive her somewhere as a 17 year old with no license and then you say no
and then tell me how the conversation it's not quite like that it It's like, hey, dad, I want to do, like, this thing that requires some level of trust and responsibility.
And I'll be like, really?
Because you don't even drive yet.
And it's all like, how dare you bring up the, like, oh, my God.
You know, like, what a jerk you are.
We're not talking about driving here.
You drag that up out of nowhere.
You always drag that up out of nowhere.
As if the reason she's not driving is like
an ailment or a disability.
She's like, I can't believe you went there.
You're a genius because of my
laziness. No, no, no, no, no.
It's not laziness. It's not laziness.
She's uncomfortable
driving. It's a thing. It's like
she's got a kind of fear over it that
she needs to overcome. Well, she better get
comfortable because that's an integral part of life.
Yeah, I had a friend, let's call him Morty.
And my friend Morty, he refused to learn how to drive.
And he kind of had his mother wrapped around his,
his single mother wrapped around his little finger to the point like there
was times when he was in college,
he would call his mother and just yell at her for not coming to clean his
apartment and stuff.
But he did not drive.
And he didn't
like the idea of the responsibility of having
to be behind the wheel of a car. He didn't want to
run the risk of hurting himself or hurting other people.
And it just made him very nervous.
And he did have a bit of a mild anxiety disorder,
which is reasonable. But I mean, then again,
so do I. I'm going to drive my whole fucking life.
Why don't you get your license, Morty?
Right, right, right.
And so eventually we became friends,
and I got into the role of picking this dude up
and taking him places.
And so what I suggested to your daughter
is exactly what I think I will do to my child,
which is exactly what I did to him.
Eventually I started charging him mileage. You know, like, look, you know, you've got money.
I know you've got money. You pay for gas. I'm literally, I'm an Uber driver 20 years before
there was Uber. Sorry, Morty, but you're going to have to pay, you know? And so that's what I would
do. I think, I think, you know, if I'm giving my daughter an allowance, I might even just become
a certified Uber driver. And then just every time I'm driving,
oh, thank you, ma'am. There's a free water bottle in the back.
Did Morty end up
getting his license?
Yes, actually. He ended up meeting
a girl and getting
married, and that
really whipped him into shape. He's like,
I need to get my shit together if I'm going to...
Good lord!
How much you can drive when people stop kowtowing to you and...
Right.
Yeah, but Morty...
It seems like Morty's fear of driving...
But I don't feel like it's fair.
Morty's fear of driving went away pretty damn quick as soon as he had to start chipping in.
This guy, you know, got married and that got him to drive.
You know, Hope's not 17 till tomorrow.
I don't think it's an accurate comparison.
No, she's only 364 days late right well he wasn't 18 when he got married oh no he was like no he was like 23 yeah yeah he met that girl and decided to get his shit together and and like first of all
i knew that i could handle being behind the wheel i was like of course i can first of all i'm 16
years old so i could probably i believed I could fly a rocket ship,
and I probably could have.
God damn it.
But I didn't give a shit about myself in the car.
I was like, yeah, I got places to go.
If I crash, that's life.
That's me living life.
Crashing your car on the way to somewhere to live
is what life is.
That's how you die,
and that's a good death as far as modern human beings
go. Yeah, but I'm 16 driving around.
And as far as the rest of those people out there
and me, like, I don't know if I should be
behind the wheel of this
3,000 pound, 250 horsepower
killing machine. I didn't think like that.
Fuck those other people. I don't want to hit them or
anything. I'm not clearing sidewalks
and backing up without looking, but
I'm not thinking about them and what I
might accidentally do to them.
It's hard for us to sympathize
because I was like you.
I was driving before I had a license
illegally on the daily.
Every day I was just driving.
I had a ball that I convinced
my parents was my 21-year-old
friend. Oh yeah, we're going out with Joey.
Joey was the name of an inflatable ball and we just kept him in the backseat and said
no no Joey's are like partner or something like that because in New
Jersey you had to have like a 21 year old you gotta be accompanied by an adult
yeah yeah you made it you were like I had a imaginary friend passed away yes
Wilson back there company by an adult in New Jersey for a back there he's 21 yeah you have to be accompanied by an adult in new jersey for
a permit because he's 15 oh well i was at jersey you learn to drive you get your license at 17
so i was 16 yeah yeah and uh yeah so i'm 16 years old i don't have a license yet but i have an
imaginary friend you could call him wilson if it works better and uh and i would just drive
everywhere all the time any like i would just i was a terrible person and that's how I handled it.
I was the opposite of Hope.
I was convinced that not only that I could do no wrong,
I am so skilled at this.
I've got weeks of experience that I'll be able to dodge any problem.
I was just sure of myself.
But just thinking of it this way, when when hope's kids when it's their turn to
drive the definition of driving will be plugging an address into the google maps of their tesla
you know like how great is that going to be and there's going to be a period there's going to be
a whole generation coming out right after hope you know hope's generation that's going to be like
so you actually would get behind the wheel of a fucking 3 000 pound death trap and you would
control it with your hands and then drive around other people who are also driving with fucking
hands and we would be doing 75 miles an hour and all it took was one person to kill like 50 people
one fuck up the one person to look at their phone yes that's exactly what it was like dude you know
what it's going to be cool in the future is, you know how you
watch something like, not
DayZ, whatever, World War Z, and
it's like Brad Pitt is the lone badass
who can work the machine he needs to escape.
In the future, like 60 years from
now, all the
cars are just going to shut down, and it's going to be
one guy who's 70 at the
time with his family like, get in!
They're like, what are you doing?
He's like, I'm taking it to manual.
Do you remember how?
Yeah.
And he's the only one driving and nobody else remembers.
He's the only one who knows how to drive a stick.
It's not even a stick.
Just like a 1997 Honda Accord that he hops in and drives.
That's it.
I like that better.
I'd like to see like a Twilight Zone where they're all just stranded on some,
like there's no water water They're in the desert
But there's a truck there with a stick and then everybody's just used to driving Tesla's that you just press a button or like tell
Them to take you somewhere, and then they just all sit there
Running out dehydrated because
Everyone's here seen the CPG gray video humans need not apply. We've all seen that I know
well humans need not apply we've all seen that i don't know well a quick rundown what's it about a quick
rundown he talks about how robots or robots robots i don't know you guys are in my head all assholes
and uh anyway they uh he talks about how robots are replacing humans and everyone thinks that
their job is so complicated and unique and creative that it can't be replaced.
And he's like, oh, by the way, this background music was written by a robot.
And he just goes on and talks about it and in different stages, too.
You know, but one of the big ones is driving.
Driving is some huge percentage of jobs in the country.
You know, like you might be thinking tractor trailers like I did it first but it's like tractor trailers forklift
construction machineries like there's all kinds of tasks that are essentially
different varieties of these so taxis and tractor-tailers are like the first
thing I think of but then when you realize like how many construction sites
are you passing where those guys a job is essentially driving heavy machinery
and then you know how many warehouses do we not even look inside of that is essentially driving
forklifts you know moving things around in there and uh all that stuff is going to get automated
and while tractor trailers probably won't be tomorrow you know because there's a lot of people
around in public safety and you know acceptance forklifts could be tomorrow forklifts actually
were yesterday you know it's already like that in the Amazon warehouse, isn't it? It's like a bunch of pretty big Roombas
picking stuff up and moving it around.
I did not see that particular video, but I have seen videos talking about this before.
And I've got to tell you, one of the things that really scares me about living in America right now
is we're so anti-social programs. Not anti-socialist, which is a different thing,
but anti-social programs. We don-socialist, which is a different thing, but anti-social programs.
We don't want people to have access to affordable, cheap health care. We don't want people to have
a guaranteed income. We don't want people to have, you know, people who can't work. We don't want
them to have anything. Fuck them. I work. Fuck them. Let them starve. Well, a lot of people
saying that right now don't realize that they're out of a fucking job in 40 years of the robotics.
Their children will never work because there won't be
enough fucking jobs because there's going to be
robust taking care of a lot of the stuff.
But the good news is the quality of life is going to be going
up. And all of these countries that provide healthcare
and a guaranteed minimum income around
the world, those people are going to be just fucking fine.
But we're going to have
mass fucking employment just like they will
and instead of spending their time spending their
guaranteed fucking
guaranteed income and spending their time spending their guaranteed fucking guaranteed income and
spending their time going to the doctor when they get sick
Americans are going to be in the fucking gutter
I worry about that all the time dude
I worry about that all the time
you make it sound like there's a big money faucet we can turn on and just get access
to all of those you're like why won't they
open up the money faucet
your kids have one
right that's I mean but here's what I'm saying.
If it's possible to figure out,
and it may not be, but if it is possible
to figure out, we really need to get
on that ship. I've got the answer.
What is that?
We figured it out long, long ago, humans did.
And we just don't do it anymore.
The answer is we need to conquer some other
peoples. Alright, there are people
There's no one left to conquer!
Oh, please. Okay. There's plenty of non-Americans.
Look, look. There's at least a billion people out there who we could conquer real easily.
They're not even American.
What are you gonna do? Okay, look, if you don't want to provide a means of living to the people already in your country,
what are you gonna do with the people you now take over?
Oh, no, no, no. Watch them starve too? That doesn't make any fucking sense.
You enslave them, you take the
resources, and you
lease out their beachfront property. That's what you do.
Those are the three tenets of my plan.
I feel like Lex Luthor
would approve of this plan.
Lex Luthor wants your plan.
He's really a good guy.
Let's apply your plan to Americans then.
Instead of taking over another country, let's just enslave the poor here.
What?
No, no, no.
No, you don't do that to Americans.
We conscript the poor here to fight the poor there.
Win-win.
See, I like the idea of if they could say, hey, it's not going to cost anyone anything.
It's all going to be fair.
And everybody gets a living wage and everybody gets all these
wonderful things then everybody would be in favor of it nobody think about it
by virtue of the fact that you think like no fuck them I don't want them
getting anything it's just we're always hearing about how my money and it's not
nothing it's not I'm gonna err on a base level I want to clarify my view on this
homeless people are veterans right if three-quarters of these homeless people
are veterans perfect fighting force you three-quarters of these homeless people are veterans, perfect fighting force.
You send them to Mexico, some South American country, all the homeless.
A conscript homeless army.
I don't know why we're not looking into this more.
Look, I don't know if you're playing devil's advocate or if you're just dead inside, but either way, I like it.
Someone has to think through this shit, and I'm not willing to think that way. So I'm glad that you're willing to.
I've been saying all Americans are... No, Canada, you can be on our team
because we like you guys.
You've always been cool.
And England.
I remember the Iraq War
when everyone knew we were wrong.
You did, we did, the rest of the world did.
And you were still our friend?
I don't forget.
You can be on our team too.
But the rest of the world, you're fucked.
Honestly, I'm not impressed
by European countries when they're
like, oh yeah, you guys do a bunch of
shit, but we're still on your
side, I guess. It's like, no, the only fucking
reason that you're able to spend so much money
on social programs is because you don't have to spend fuck
all on the military because we've subsidized the entire
Western world's military. Right. And I
definitely understand that, just to be very clear.
Like, I may sound like a fucking left-wing
fucking cuck. I get that.
I'm not, I promise you.
I understand the realistic part of it.
You don't want the Ruskies to wash across the European landscape.
You understand that we need missiles.
I understand that the reason America may never
be able to have these things is because we have to
defend the fucking world. Or, I mean,
depending on which side you're on, if you're reading
Al Jazeera, we're just attacking the entire world all the time
that's also a that's what we do an interesting thing about the military
because you always hear that stat of like the u.s. spends you know more money
on their military than the next three or the next five me and and it's like yeah
like if you take the time to look at why that is it's because like 50% of that is
because we provide VA benefits we pay our soldiers better
like china has way more soldiers than us they just don't make fuck all because they're chinese
soldiers so obviously they can have way more people for cheap the reason we could spend so
much on military is mainly benefits and salary like that's the difference is we what you're
saying is we bought a lot of upgrades for our guys. We bought a lot of upgrades. They got the flamethrower upgrade. We put the
PPSH upgrades on our conscripts. We're rocking commander
upgrades on our tanks. We got the tulip rockets on our Shermans. We spend the money.
We put the time. And we don't just send them in like the Russians and let our conscripts
die. We send them back for retreat. We retreat them. We build them back up again.
Back to your field hospital, whatever.
Here's what I think I'm saying by this.
I'm not necessarily saying that
vote Bernie, because I don't think that's a good solution
whatsoever. But here's what I am
saying.
I am saying that if you're
listening right now and you don't know what to major in
in college, you're about 16, 17
years old, or maybe your first year of school,
robotics is the fucking answer. If you're
not very smart, but you're mechanically inclined,
get used to repairing robots, and
if you're smart and mechanically inclined,
then get used to fucking
designing them.
If you're dumb, we'll conscript you.
Right, and eventually robots will be
building and repairing the other robots, and you'll also
be out of a job, but this will buy you an extra 20 years.
How long before we have the Terminators and we don't even need those homeless veterans anymore?
Oh god, soon I hope.
See, that's what I'm looking- we keep talking about, oh yeah, automation, automation.
Well, it seems like in America where our wages are so high,
it's more likely that our ro- we'll be the quickest on the robot gun, right?
Because why would India manufacture the best and brightest robot in the world when you gotta pay a guy like one rupee a year or something to dig ditch gun, right? Because why would India manufacture the best and brightest robot
in the world
when you gotta pay
a guy like one rupee
a year or something
to dig ditches, right?
But over here,
when you maybe gotta pay
a ditch digger
$15 an hour,
we got the best
ditch digging robot
in the world.
I'm hoping that happens
with like soldier robots.
I wanna see Terminators.
I was such a huge fan
of Terminator as a kid
and I don't like,
after Terminator 2,
I really don't like those movies, but the first two, I really like them. I'm a big fan of it. I was such a huge fan of Terminator as a kid, and I don't like, after Terminator 2,
I really don't like those movies, but the first two, I really like them. I'm a big fan of it. I like the music, even the theme song, the whole thing. I like Schwarzenegger. I want to see some
Terminators. And the way that it always works is that science ends up imitating art. So these guys
already have the picture of a Terminator in their head that are going to be building Terminators.
And I'll just take it a step further.
I think the founding fathers intended for us to have access to Terminators
as sentries at each door.
Of course.
Shall not be infringed.
Take my Terminator from my cold, dead hand.
Some cuck out there is going to say there weren't even Terminators when that
was written.
Ah.
I think, I think think though based on the wording
don't doesn't your terminator have to look like a bear and not arnold schwarzenegger
so you have the right to bear arms is that correct well we can put bear arms on the terminators
okay with that i think there would be a copyright issue that you couldn't just
have an arnold schwarzenegger one like a little bit of creativity would be needed
you couldn't just yeah well that's what the bear arms are for.
I'm okay if it's just metal. I don't need the skin
or anything. I just want it to kill.
They have to have bear arms.
I gotta say that we kind of live in the Terminator universe
because drones do most of our killings now.
There's a 0% chance an American
is going to get killed in like 90%
of the strikes we do right now.
Just some fucking guy walks outside of his house
and then he's alive one second and he he's not, and it's just some fucking
kid in an air-conditioned tent, fucking
300 miles away, or maybe even in fucking
Florida, just sitting there.
He goes home, he goes to fucking
Applebee's afterwards, man. He's having the best
time of his fucking life. It's like an arcade game.
He's just there, pew, pew, pew. It's fucking
awesome. That kid's 20 years old, and he's amazing
at the job because he's been honing his skills
on Call of Duty since he was 11.
Right?
Yeah.
What a wonderful world we live in.
I mean, it won't be so great when our enemies have that technology, but right now we only have that technology and it's awesome.
I think that before our enemies get anywhere near there, we're going to have something to say about it.
Yeah.
We're not going to let them sneak up all the way until they're equal to us and we're like
oh fuck, oh my god
Afghanistan, where'd you come from up here
on the pinnacle of technology in the world?
No, it's going to be like, hey, do you see that they're
starting to not use AK-47s
from the late 60s anymore? Yeah, let's put an end
to this. But that doesn't work like that.
What happens is Russia
gets there and you're like, well yeah, Russia's
always been kind of a peer this way. then russia starts selling them to afghanistan or hillary clinton sells them because
that's the thing she likes to do yeah i don't think i'm up to date on this does she sell arms yes yeah
absolutely yeah there's a lot of those email leaks have been pointed out where she sold a lot of arms
to a lot of people that she made a notch and sold them to. But I don't know. I haven't personally read them.
I'm reading Reddit slash R
slash all and the top of the list
has to be the Donald, right?
The Donald's like, Hillary Clinton sold fucking
nuclear weapons to Hitler or whatever.
I don't know. I'm like, maybe
some of that's true. Maybe it's not. I don't fucking know.
The Stop Trump spam stuff
is also getting a lot of big push.
Yeah, it's fun. The what?
It's fun.
So there's another subreddit.
Okay, they're not catching up to the Donald quite yet.
But there's another subreddit called Stop Trump Spam.
And they'll take Trump quotes, you know, like almost inspirational posters or something,
and be like, yeah, my daughter's hot.
If I wasn't married, I'd go with her.
I misquoted him, but there's something about that. um and you know that that'll get to the front page or
like something so they're that upset about trump stuff that they're posting more stuff about trump
it doesn't make him look good though yeah i will say i will say that i see that they changed the
reddit algorithm when the trump stuff started getting to the top of all.
But four months ago, five months ago, when the top of all was nothing but fucking Sanders posts, they didn't do a goddamn thing.
But that's none of my business, okay?
All right, fine, whatever.
It's up to you, Reddit.
You do whatever you want.
I'm just saying that when Trump was at the top of the list, you shit the bed.
But when it was all Sanders, Sanders, Sanders, Sanders, Sanders, no one gave a fuck.
Yeah.
That's true.
Not that I'm pro-Trump.
I'm not.
This election, I'm pro I'm fucking done.
I'm pro I will never vote again.
I'm fucking my heart has been destroyed by this election.
I don't give a shit what happens anymore.
That's what I'm pro. So what is Reddit doing?
Oh, let me explain.
So the Bernie Sanders stuff got voted at the top all the time.
But in fairness, it wasn't so crooked.
It just got really highly voted.
Now, the Donald subreddit, they sticky posts.
Like, you know, maybe you'll post something that shows Donald Trump in a great view or Hillary in a negative one.
And then the mods will sticky it.
And it'll help everyone know, like, this is our upvote brigade.
Brigade.
Brigade.
But wait, isn't that the point of sticking something because
and maybe it's not the maybe if you go back to when the rules were written maybe that's not
exactly what they said it was for but that's how that is used in every subreddit i know the
subreddits that i go on the things that are sticky are the this is our message this this most
exemplifies this subreddit for right now at this moment. Hey, everybody, this new thing is the hottest new thing.
Let's focus on this because this new information just leaked.
This talking head just said this inspirational thing.
This other politician just stepped in shit.
Everybody look now.
This is what we need to focus on.
Maybe.
To me, sticky has always been either the rules or like on PKA, a link to this podcast will be the sticky oh come on on
pka it's it first of all i've been there in like three months or something like that but it was
always like whatever the coolest thing was i think they they would sticky some they stickied uh fbs
boot camp before you know they they they promote if you want to promote something that that's really
a big thing in the community i'm sure you know more about it than me, Woody, but the one that I spend
the most time on, the hockey one,
the only thing that's ever
stickied up there is like, hey,
let's talk about post-game
thread of Pittsburgh versus San Jose
or whatever. Or it's, oh, hey, huge
trade between these two. It's just
kind of a trending topic.
Being like, this is the biggest news story.
Maybe it is, but on the Donald subredditdit it was really done to attract the upvotes and the the point of it
and everyone was kind of on same team like let's raid our all for people who don't know reddit
our all is like uh it's everything you don't have to subscribe to it and and the donald subreddit
kind of made a point of raiding our all so So the rule they changed was they made it so that unless the mod created the post,
it can't be sticky or it can't be on RR or something close to that.
Like, you could only do it.
So, like, we had an issue.
Like, we might have to mod the PKA bot.
Bot?
Bot, right?
The PKA bot that, like, automatically posts this thing.
Like, well, we'll just give it some
limited mod powers but so is this clearly done to fuck with the trump reddit yes they said they
said that it was done uh that this was something they they wanted to do previously because they
wanted the variety of slash r slash all to not just be the top five most upvoted subreddits but
the whole point of our all originally was to show the most upvoted fuckin' things, so like I
now we want it to be the most upvoted things that we happen to agree with
now and I don't f- fuck you. So really it was all hunky-dory
until something they didn't like got up there and then it was like, uh, it's a problem.
And it's been like that time and time again on Reddit. Remember when we had fat people hate and it was just a, it was just, oh we can't have this.
Oh, hilarious.
Reddit is supposed to be this big
media aggregate site where
free thought is king, right?
Second, it's supposed to be 4chan where you're able
to rape babies and
shit on niggers. They want
to make it as awful
as possible to drive away new people from
coming to their little secret land. That's what 4chan
is about.
Basically, Reddit the users as possible to drive away new people from coming to their little secret land. That's what 4chan's about. But like, basically
like, Reddit
the users are the ones that want it to be
the Bastion of Free Speech.
The people who own it and the people who run it
want to make money. And the Bastion of Free Speech
doesn't make money. Whitewashed
bullshit makes money. That's
what sponsors will buy into. Sponsors are going to
buy in the fucking, the Arth slash the Donald.
Do you remember Coontown?
Right, exactly. They're not going to put ads on
fucking Coontown. They're not going to fucking do that in a second.
But they do. That's the funny...
Who would put ads on that?
I can imagine, but the point...
What is Coontown?
Do they just make fun of black people?
They didn't make fun of black people. They posted statistics
about black people.
I mean, there's also like comics.
It was pretty blazing about.
Pretty blazing.
But they, like, they took a very statistical, logistical approach
to their racism.
It was still racist, but they're like, hey, here's some stacks that,
either through actual statistics or maybe just confirmation bias,
proves the point that I've always believed,
which is screw these fucking people.
That's not what I thought that was.
I thought it was just something of people, like,
posting pictures of themselves in, like, blackface or something.
No, it was an anti-black people subreddit.
They would find statistics that made black people look bad.
Yeah, they post a lot of Leroy comics, too,
like the 4chan meme.
Black crime on white people versus white on black.
Like, those are so skewed.
You know, you're just like, it's eye-opening.
Stats like that, you know, a lot of things.
A lot of different arrest statistics.
A lot of different kinds of crimes that are committed.
Well, where were these stats coming from?
Was it like, you know, white people are fake or like FBI?
I'm not going to lie.
Some of them were very legitimate stats.
A lot of it's true.
But then you put it in there.
They're not holding back. They're not saying, well,
hey, I'm not trying to put forward a racist idea
or anything, but it seems when you add up the numbers
that something's not quite right. They didn't say that.
They were like, look at this. And then
the next thing would be like a really exaggerated
cartoon of like a black person
with the big lips and like the bug eyes
and stuff. right like it
was over the top racism the same made it fat people hate or what was it called was it fat
people hate i forgot it was fat people hate that's right in your face there's a love that one i
forgot oh no fat people hate was always pretty good for a laugh i mean it kind of ruined my
red experience because obviously i don't like my...
You were featured prominently on one of them.
Is that the one it was? Oh, all the JF ad people
all the time. You were on the sidebar once.
Yeah. So the reason it ruined my
Reddit experience is I
know that I'm fat and I don't... One of the reasons
I read Reddit is an escape and so
I don't like being reminded how much people
hate me for being fat and how much I hate
myself for being fat. I don't like to think about it.
And so Reddit was my escape for that.
But then it stopped being my escape for that because the third post on all would be a picture of me and somebody telling me to kill myself, you know?
Like, hey, this fat fuck, I wonder how soon he'll die.
I bet this week, fat fuck.
And I'll be like, oh, that kind of makes me feel a little bad about myself because it's about me.
Even then, I don't feel like they should have taken it away from reddit if that's what people like i like i'm like a special
fucking snowflake and i'm so delusional that i don't know that a large number of people hate me
exclusively because i'm fat and that no personality trait that i'm going to have is going to supersede
that the fact that i'm a fat is the entirety of what i am to those people and they hate me because
of it and i've met these people I've talked to these people, I've
interacted with these people. I'm not so
delusional that I need Reddit to not
reflect that reality for me. I don't
know why people do. You know?
You always block that subreddit, too. Like, it's really easy.
Right, which is what I eventually did. I just blocked it on my
software after a while, and I'm like, oh, well, this is
super easy. It always seems like
the reason stuff like that gets shut down
is never the group
or the subsection
that's getting made fun of. It's always
some virtue signaling
hand-wringing person who's not
even in that group who has to step in and
be like, everyone,
I am the pillar of morality here
and this is unacceptable.
And it's just a bunch of people like that
who it's like, what the fuck? You're taking offense on behalf of other people isn't that pretty condescending and i'll
tell you one of the things that really fucking bothers me and i know you guys are gonna agree
with this look i'm a white male and i was born a white male and i know that because i'm a white
male i have a handful of privileges that have definitely helped me here and there i get that
okay but i and i accept it about myself but that I'm not going to fucking beat myself up about it
the same way some someone was born an inner city black female can't control the way she was fucking
I can't control that I was born a white male I'm not going to fucking apologize for it I'm not
going to fucking apologize for being me I'm not sorry I don't hate myself I am what I am I can
never change that I like who I am and I do never change that. I like who I am. And I do feel
for people who don't have those privileges
and I want to extend the privileges I have to those people.
But I'm never going to be the guy who gets on a fucking
you know, tirade on
Twitter. It's like, oh, the fucking
terrible truth of being
non-white, non-black. Curse my white skin.
Curse my penis. Never
going to fucking do that. I'm a big fan of my penis.
Doesn't that make your stomach
hurt when you see those groveling pussies on twitter like you'll see someone tweet something
just ridiculous like some feminist and then under them is just a big group of groveling pathetic
losers like oh you're totally right you should kill all the white guys i'll volunteer to be
first ha ha ha and it's like oh you're you're gross. Nobody likes you. Even this woman, if she
saw you in real life, would be like, no, sorry,
I'm into dudes. Those aren't beta males.
Those are Charlie males.
They're a whole other level below.
Omega males? Yeah, they're like
self-loathing males who are
going after the man-hating
women because they feel
like that's a position that they can kind of default
into, like subservient, apologistic, like, hey, hey.
They think they will like that.
I'm not like the others.
Yeah, because it's that type of guy.
It's that type of guy.
They resent them for it, which is so great.
And it's that type of guy who goes to women and says,
hey, I'm not like the other guys.
You know those guys that all the women want to fuck and actually want to date?
I'm not like them at all.
I'm the opposite of that. I'm more like a chick, and she's just like, well, I kind of want to fuck and and actually want to date on the opposite all on the opposite of that I'm more like a chick and she's just like well I
kind of want to get fucked at some point so you're not gonna work like you know
like you know all those guys who are clever and gonna be entertaining and fun
with you and take you place they're doers and achievers although I am 10
prestige if I see a white male tweeting something like,
you know, it kind of sucks to be a woman right now,
and I think they need a bit of a hand up,
I'll say, you know, that's cool.
I'm going to like that.
I'm going to like that tweet a little bit.
Because it does kind of suck to be a woman sometimes.
And maybe you do need a slight help.
Hey, I'm willing to...
What sucks about being a woman?
That's my personal belief.
I wish.
I wish I was a woman.
I would kill it.
I would...
Everything is in your...
Oh, thank you for all the three easy things.
Thank you for everything being easy.
Do you want me to use a personal, for an example?
I would love.
I have gone into probably a thousand gas stations in my lifetime.
Maybe 10,000 gas stations in my lifetime.
My wife, twice while I was with with her has had her tits or ass
grabbed by men who thought that's just how you interact with women twice in my presence i watched
it happen here in northwest arkansas of all places i watched men grab my wife's ass and tits like it
was supposed to happen a third case that i wasn't, a guy just got in the car with her.
Like, there's certain...
No woman will ever do that to me, mostly
because I'm ugly as shit. I'm not attractive like my wife.
Okay, look, I believe you. I believe
that those things happen to you, and they are
shocking.
The fact that it is shocking
demonstrates that it happens
remarkably rare. That's never happened
before, ever. First of all, your wife should have a gun.
My girlfriend has a gun.
She's pulled it on multiple men.
So anybody that's fresh with her, she pulls it out and fucking points the gun at them.
My wife doesn't need a gun.
She has me.
She clearly needs a gun.
She's being molested.
Let them write.
Don't worry.
I took care of it.
I took care of it, dude.
Don't worry.
I took care of it.
You've got to stop it before it happens.
How did you take care of it?
Well, they take one look at me, and I tell them I'm with her, and they fucking get the point.
It's not that difficult.
Okay.
You know?
I mean, but even that is fucked up.
Even that, oh, she's with me, dude.
Oh, I guess I can't molest your property.
I've never seen that happen.
Well, I can tell you, I've personally seen that happen.
Hold on.
You want another great example with my wife?
I'm playing two-headed magic,
two-headed giant magic with my wife,
and we're just playing at the top table,
and we're fucking, I mean, we're playing the top team
at a top table, and this guy walks
up to us, and he's like, but it sure is
difficult to play both hands, and I'm like, why?
He goes, well, your wife certainly doesn't know what she's doing.
She beats me in magic nine times
out of fucking ten. We have a chart in our living room,
I'll go get it right now, that shows you how many times she's beaten me
in the last fucking month okay
but she can't play because she has a fucking vagina
and so I had to run into a little bit
like is that what he's saying
is that what he's saying
just as often as that happens people will
bend over backwards to try and bring
more into whatever community it is
but I'm just saying that it sucks that that happens to her
and it sucks that it happens also because she's a female.
So if a guy says it sucks to be a woman sometimes,
I'm going to say that's reasonable.
But wait, what about the other side of it that Taylor was bringing up?
What about how many times they get free food or free drinks, right?
Just because guys hand out stuff to girls.
What about all the, like, okay,
so Hope is looking at schools and careers and stuff like that.
Well, I mean, obviously that's true.
Hold on, let me finish.
There's a million, like, STEM scholarships and STEM hand-ups and hand-outs trying to get girls to do this STEM stuff.
And they don't want to, and they're not going to.
If this were true, it would be the only oppressed minority in history that have a longer average lifespan graduated from education at all levels at a higher rate
uh... receive money from the government or so you're going to work in a while
you know i was just saying that that's the reality
that you can talk about magic the gathering
but the reality is
if we're trying to press them
we're doing a really bad job
because we were dying sooner we're getting less money for taxes we don't
have any social programs graduate college college the less we die more in violent accidents more
often you know it's like picking up the check does seem like it's always one-sided like you
know my girlfriend told me she she was like i've never had a guy who didn't pay for all my bills
i was like are you serious all your bills i was like there's no need for me to be paying your
fucking bills yeah she's like i've never had a boyfriend who didn't pay for all of my bills.
I was like,
you mean like birth control
and clothing and food
and like those kind of bills?
Like shampoo and shit?
She's like, no.
Like my car insurance
and like anything I want to buy
and like my credit card bills.
Your water's too much trash.
Yeah, yeah.
She's like,
yeah, my credit card bill's
too much this month.
I'm not used to having
to pay these myself.
And I'm like,
that's the life of a pretty girl
and I would be a very pretty girl. So, I would like to be a girl. I would much rather be one.
My education would be cheaper. It would come more easily. I would get better grades for the
same amount of work. I would just leave the government programs alone. They rain from the
sky. Can I brag about my wife for just a second here? Because I love doing that.
Don't start now.
So here's a story.
Last night, my wife,
for those of you who don't know this, we're doing very,
very well on YouTube. We're doing very,
very well on Twitch. We're doing very, very well with my sponsors like Loot Crate, stuff like that.
My wife
was working for the
Walmart home office for what is very
little money for the amount of work she was putting in.
I ended up getting way, way sicker in this last year. So I'm having a lot more need for stuff around the house. We were looking at hiring a nurse and hiring a nurse. It was way more
expensive than having my wife take time off to help work with me and to help me with the business
and help me around the house with the physical stuff that I need help with now. And so we made the educated decision to get her a year off of work.
And so last night she was bawling her eyes out.
And I'm like, what's the matter?
She goes, I really feel like I'm not contributing enough.
And I'm like, honey, you've cooked every meal in the last six months.
You've helped me take a bath.
You've helped me get out of bed when I'm in too much pain to do it.
You've helped me tend to wounds on my diabetic feet. You've driven me to the doctor's office
20, 30 times this year. What are you not doing? She's like, I feel like I'm not contributing
financially. And it was really bothering me because this is a woman who right up to the
very first date we had, right up to the day we got married, demanded she pay her part every step
of the way. And even right now, the fact that she's demanded she pay her part every step of the way and uh
even right now the fact that she's not paying her part and it bothers her greatly and i had to sit
there and console her and kind of she's like i really think maybe i should go back to work so
that i can bring money in i'm like honey we're doing fine we can afford this and i need your
help you are contributing but i that's the only reason i love it she's just contributing in a
different but equally valuable way right right but it's it's so I love her. She's just contributing in a different but equally valuable way. Right, right.
But it's so difficult for her because she's such a forward-thinking,
I guess feminist would be the word I would have used,
but I wouldn't use that word anymore,
but a forward-thinking person working towards equality,
not necessarily feminism, which is not always equated with equality.
But she's like someone who truly doesn't really think of male and female.
She thinks of her and me and we're partners.
And she wants to do as much as I'm doing and to contribute as much as I am.
She's got to get it, man.
So I don't see you and the camera's not rolling.
Right.
But from what I hear of it, you would not be nearly as successful without this support system.
No, exactly.
That's why I try to tell her every single day.
Like you look at before I met her, I took nothing serious.
I didn't take my health serious.
I don't take it as serious as I should now, but I didn't take my health serious.
I didn't take my life serious.
I didn't even buy new fucking clothes.
I didn't.
My chair, my computer chair was an old cooler I flipped upside down after ripping the lid
off.
And you had money at this point?
I had very little money, but
I didn't spend it because I didn't give it to you.
I might have had like $5,000 in the bank,
$7,000 in the bank.
Why am I going to waste that on a chair? Who gives
a shit? I'll be dead anyway.
What it's good for is buying buffet
dinners because I want to fucking die.
Because I would think that comfort...
For me, I would think that
first would come the food.
But then would come comfort and entertainment.
Those would be really close seconds.
I had two...
Put me in a cushy chair, get me delicious food,
get me nice entertainment, and I'm satiated.
I was satiated with garbage
because I had grown up without really much of anything.
So my wife comes into my life and I'm like,
number one, I want this apartment to be nicer for her
so we get a new apartment. I want her car to be nicer so I'm going to get know number one i want this apartment to be nicer for her so we get a new apartment on the
or carter nice or someone who does nice car i want to look nicer for some of the
other be healthier for some lose weight or work harder so we can have the things
that we need
well her i wouldn't i still give shit
well her i still in division
d she's like making the mistake of thinking because you're playing like
first-line center
right now
you know you're not start. But she's looking at that
and being, I want to be a first line center.
And you're like, no, I need a left
winger who can score. That's what I
need. I don't need another center. Another center would be
a waste. We need some offensive speed on this team or we're
never going to win a cup. And our window's closing
because your contract's up and you're going to get traded
to.
But I'll tell you, you lost me on some of the parallels.
I started just talking
about hockey so that was it but no like she shouldn't want to be in your same position
you want to be in complimentary boogie you saving up tons of cash right now oh yeah we don't i spend
nothing i don't fucking spend a thing yeah i actually did something weird if you guys notice
no houses we're actually paying it off slowly um and we have our reasons for doing that but um i actually did something i haven't done in a long time i went shopping for clothes
i had four shirts and four pairs of pants and i wore them every day for the last three years
and my wife would say let's go let's go buy you some clothes i'd be like no fuck that and one day
i realized i literally only own four shirts so last week when my wife was out of town and I was,
I realized I would either have to do laundry or order new shirts.
I ordered 10 new shirts and this is one of them and it's ugly shit,
but I like it.
No,
it's not bad.
Your wardrobe is your wife educated on your finances.
Oh yeah.
She,
she,
she pretty much helps manage them.
I mean,
she's realistically,
she's pretty much CEO of a boogie incorporated.
So just checking. Are you going to, uh, just kind of switching CEO of Boogie Incorporated. Okay.
Just checking.
Are you going to, just kind of switching gears here, but are you going to, or do you have any plans to upgrade your PC
with the new graphics cards?
Yes, I keep waiting to buy the 1080 because I don't know why
I just won't bring myself to do it.
It is an incremental upgrade because I got the 980 Ti in here already,
but it's a pretty important upgrade.
It's still a pretty good hit.
I saw the 980 Ti on sale the day before yesterday for $370.
Yeah.
And it was a third-party card, so it had fans and cooling and stuff.
I'm going to get the Asus Strix.
It is Asus, right?
Or is it Asus?
I don't know.
I think it's Asus.
Well, I'm getting the Asus Strix 1080 card.
I was debating on getting two of them for a while.
But I think because of the monitors that I'm using,
I've got a 4K 60 hertz monitor.
And I'm going to buy the Asus ROG Swift.
I'm looking at it now.
The 34-inch curved monitor, the 100 hertz one.
So I'll be able to play 1440 in 100 hertz and then click of a button
switch to 4K at 60 hertz depending on the game.
And I think I got my setup together. It might not do what you want. How so?
So I've had this situation where
my middle monitor can go at, I forget what it was, 100 hertz.
Oh, I'm not going to run them simultaneously.
Oh, so you just switch to other monitors.
Yeah, my thought process is that one card will run 4K at 60 frames,
and one card will also run 1440p at 100 hertz.
And we're not talking about 1440p as people think of it.
It's a 34-inch ultra-wide screen 1440p.
Yeah.
So my idea is that I'll have
the mounted, one high
and then one low on the desk and
if the game would be better in 4K at
60, I'll do that. I think Doom would be.
But if the game would be
better in ultra wide 1440
at 100 hertz
and I think that, I don't know, Fallout
would be, then I'll do that okay all
right yeah i did so but and it'll also if you're maybe not gaming you'll probably run them all at
once oh it totally will yeah yeah and i could yeah i don't know i have that middle monitor
you're talking about which is 1440 but ultra wide screen 34 inches i have that it's not 100 hertz
it's an older model but i have
something similar to that and uh it's really nice i don't know i just use that's the one i live on
and then over here i'll have like skype you know where like i maybe i just i want it visible but
not in my way and i'll drag it over if i'm using it it's it it's great i love screen real estate
for me though after three i think it kind of wears out. I see Skype as a bad neighborhood now.
I don't want to be anywhere near it
unless I absolutely have to because it always
fucks up. The audio never works.
Knock on wood because this time
it actually did take off without a hitch. Hopefully it doesn't
go back to the future.
I want to run through my
PC parts picker thing here really quick for the
audience at large.
I guess my concern now because I'm pretty set on these parts PC parts picker thing here really quick for the audience at large. And if any of you can see where...
So I guess my concern now, because I'm pretty set on these parts,
but if there is some optimization that I'm not taking advantage of,
for example, if the particular motherboard that I already have selected
would work much better with a specific kind of RAM
or a specific brand of RAM,
that's the kind of thing I'm talking about here.
If the particular solid-state drive I've got
would couple better with some other parts that I have,
that's what I'm looking for.
But right now, I'm going to get the i7-6700K.
I'm using the Corsair H1.
Do you have a link?
Maybe I could show it to them while you talk about it.
Yeah.
We'll do that.
Kyle's been very, very into building a PC recently, Boogie.
We started playing RTS games,
and I guess he just needs the highest quality now.
Yeah, well, this PC was pretty much half built
by the guys over there at Intel
because they sent me the RAM, the motherboard.
That was all part of that deal to promote the 6700K
and their new SSD.
And it sounds very similar to the one he's putting together.
So it sounds like we got at least the same chip.
Yeah, I went with the motherboard is one thing that's a little different
because I wanted wireless, and to get onboard wireless,
I had to pay about $100 extra for the Asus Maximus VIII Formula ATX motherboard.
I think I was looking at the Carbon or something, which is like $200.
This one's $100 more.
So I don't know if I'm really getting anything out of it
other than the onboard wireless.
And it's red, which is what I'm going with.
If you can't tell, I'm going red and black
with this whole thing.
So what kind of case are you going for?
Are you going for a silent case?
Because I went with the fractal.
I'm very pleased I did.
Yeah, let me...
The case is a...
What is it, the Coolair 540?
The red one?
See, for me, all I wanted was utility.
I still use my Yeti mic,
USB Yeti mic,
and the quality for it is not that great.
It's very sensitive, so it picks up a lot of fan noise,
and even when it's fractal, it does pick up a bit.
But I get more interference from the air conditioner than I do in my case now. I think this is going to be really quiet because between the water cooler and that
card is supposed to be, those fans are, the cooling fans on the GPU are responding to
the GPU's temperature so sometimes they're just not spinning if it's not under load.
But I think this is going to be really fun. Are you not doing the liquid nitrogen thing anymore?
So it's liquid cooled.
It's a closed system, but it's water.
I was never going to do nitrogen.
That's like that competition thing where they literally have to be there pouring it.
That's like when they have those car jumping contests.
It's not going to work on the street.
It's more about how high can we make a car
jump? That's what's going on there.
That's another thing that Asus participates in.
Yeah, and I am
still kind of considering doing my own
water cooling system. I watched a few
videos. It's definitely within my
capabilities to do it.
I've done things that are harder than that
before I started plumbing and shit.
It's not complicated.
I was multitasking. What harder than that before I started plumbing and shit. It's not complicated.
I was multitasking.
What is it that you can do?
Doing my own water cooling system.
Instead of a closed system, doing one that requires maintenance.
Doing my own loop with the clear hoses.
Finding all the parts was annoying.
It's a one-stop thing now.
Maybe it's better.
Back in the day, you really had to figure out every elbow that you planned on using,
and that aspect of it was unattractive to me.
I would imagine so.
Yeah, now it comes with a big kit of hoses and all these connectors and the heat sink plate or whatever and all that junk.
The reason I really don't want to do it is because the video I watched
and the instructions that I've watched, it was kind of like the hacker's guide to doing this,
not like a computer hacker, but like a life
hack kind of way. And it was like
ways to avoid the issues that you,
the normal pitfalls, like, you know,
put a little bit, put two drops
of soap in there, and the bubbles
will, you know, come off of the
tubing and stuff like that. And
what was the thing? Oh, they were saying, like, when you're
proofing the system the first
couple of days, like, you can't really power the PC
On and play you're still kind of making sure this thing isn't gonna spring a leak
And I'm about to spend three thousand dollars on a big toy. I want to play with that motherfucker immediately, right?
Can you imagine assembling my three thousand dollar toy after I don't know a few hours of putting it together
Powering it on and being like all right next week
This is gonna be fun.
Like turning the light out.
I wish you'd live stream the assembly of it.
Like I did.
Oh, yeah.
It didn't go smoothly.
I will record it.
For all the shit they gave me,
there was enough useful advice in there
to make it worthwhile too.
I live streamed my second to last PC build,
and then this last one I did a video,
and I think I prefer doing a video.
But I was required to do a video
because it's all of the Intel parts or whatever,
and they wanted to do this part of the unboxing
and then showing off the parts or whatever.
Oh, my God.
You paid Plant Horror for Intel or something.
I'm trying to be eight thoughts here.
Help me out.
They're going to offer me the best chip in the world,
and they're going to offer me the best the best chip in the world and they're
gonna offer me the best hard drive in the world and they're gonna do it for free they're gonna
give me the motherboard and the ram to go with it which and all i have to do is film myself
opening the box and putting my pc together guess what the answer is yes because that's common sense
you tell me there isn't a person in the world out there that'll do it i didn't have to say i liked
it i didn't have to suck any dicks i didn't have to get on an airplane and fly out to fucking vegas
and stand up on a stage
and go, all right, suck and tell those assholes.
All I had to do was put together a machine.
For what it's worth, I would do it.
And I would say I would like it.
And I would suck one dick at most.
I will tell you, this year, 2016, has been sponsor-free for me, with the exception of
Loot Crate, because crate because loot crate performs so well
with me i know a lot of people love to hate on loot crate but at the same time a lot of people
really enjoy the crates and some people just want to buy something that i i'm sponsoring so because
i do so well with them and then i have the the patreon which doesn't perform that great but does
well enough you know i have turned down pretty much every video game related uh you know review
or review copy
or whatever else that I've gotten.
If it paid, I was just like, no, you can send me a code,
and I'll review it fairly or whatever,
but I'm not going to sign any paperwork.
I'm not going to fly anywhere.
I'm not going to do anything.
It's been really nice, actually.
I'm really enjoying doing it.
There's some games that I want to get my hands on early this year,
and if the only way I can do it is if they'll pay me,
then I guess I'll take their money.
here and if the only way i can do it is if they'll pay me then i guess i'll take their money but with the exception of those hand right i guess with the exception of those games i'm not you know
like there's something like hey come play our shitty mobile game now a year ago you felt like
you were on the back half of the bell curve i remember you were on painkiller already and you
were saying that you're like yeah my views are either your sub growth or your views weren't what they were at some other time.
Right, right, right.
And you were really open about this notion that like, yeah, I think I saw my peak and I'm still happy.
But that's not – I guess you have a boob like bell curve, huh?
Right, right.
It's funny.
We're curving up in the upwards direction again.
I earned 26,000 subs one day this week.
I don't know what happened.
That's a glitch.
Did you check today?
Is that what that was?
Yeah, I got 4,000 subs that day.
And I was like, clearly, my vlogs are catching on.
People are seeing the brilliance of sweeping barn floors at last.
I'm looking at my social blade.
And I'm growing about on average 29 probably
2900 subs a day um i'm getting about between 250 to 500 000 views a day and so this is pretty i
mean i think the channel's peak is at its peak performance actually right now believe it or not
of the entire time i've been doing this and i'm pretty happy about it and I think what has happened is I
started segmenting the gameplay stuff to the gaming channel and made my main channel more
about me and stuff I like and stuff that I want to talk about and I did dabble a little bit with
what was going on on YouTube and stuff that affects the community I think I overstepped a
little bit into the drama area which I didn't really want to do um and I've taken a step back
negativity right and then taking a step back from that has actually served me
better it looks like
and I don't know my audience seems to be
very engaged right now and they seem to be
very much liking the content that I'm producing
and I've lost a few people who are like
oh Francis isn't as funny now that you're talking about shit like
Facebook I want you to scream about video games
and I'm like well he still does that
occasionally it's just got to be a biggie you You know, I don't want to force it anymore.
And now that I've stopped forcing it as much and create content, that's a little higher quality.
That's a little truer to life. And I'm making this variety of quality content that doesn't
necessarily revolve around a topic, but around revolves around me. I think people are getting
more engaged with that and whatever it is, I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. Right.
But something's going on. Right. And I'm just, I'm just know whatever it is I don't know what the fuck I'm doing right but something's going on right and I'm just I'm just
doing whatever feels right and whatever I love to do and ever feels good to do
that day and people are responding to it I'm so happy I know yes that's that's
all we ever want to do right you want to make the content that you want to make
and if people turn out to like it that's great if they don't at least you're
being true to yourself that's right so I'm not getting a ton of views right
that's just whatever.
I've changed the, I don't know if you've looked, but I've been making vlogs lately.
And it's a big change.
A lot of people that subscribe to me didn't subscribe for vlogs.
And if you go back, like before I started doing it near daily, every time I uploaded
a video, I'd start losing like 150 subs an hour.
You know, people would just be like, this isn't what I'm here for.
I'm gone.
And when I started uploading daily, I was losing a lot of subs.
And I still am, except that I'm gaining even more than I'm losing.
If you look at the channel and you don't see the analytics that I do,
you think like, oh, look, Woody's growing like 100 subs a day.
No.
You don't understand.
I'm losing like 400 a day and gaining like 500 a day. No. Like, you don't understand. I'm losing like 400 a day
and gaining like 500 a day.
These numbers are estimates.
And it's really encouraging to me.
It's like, all right,
so while it looks like I'm kind of flatlining
or nothing exciting is happening,
I'm actually finding people who enjoy the new stuff.
And I like making the new stuff.
And it's like...
You're finding Airman fans.
Boogie, do you know about what woody's been doing over in
his channel and his flight unfortunately i've been watching as much youtube as i'd like so i did not
i'm not aware yeah yeah no worries we you know we we all fall behind on on all that shit it's hard
to keep up with everybody in a gigantic well woody is becoming an airman an airman i like airman
airman let's go with airman i don't think anyone thinks chair aviator. I like airmen. Airmen? Let's go with airmen. I don't think anyone thinks lawn chair aviators is funny as I do.
There's already an aviator.
He can be the airman.
So here's the deal.
I've got into paramotoring.
Do you have any idea what this is?
No, that sounds amazing.
So it's pretty – we'll call it a parachute.
Well, it's amazing.
It's a parachute or a paraglider that hangs over your head.
And like a backpack, you wear an engine with a fan on it.
I'm looking at the Google Limit Search right now,
and I just want to call you a fucking idiot and scream you to stop right now.
This looks suicidally fucking stupid, Woody.
Doesn't it look like what the Wright Brothers came out with right before they got it right?
Right.
Where they brought that to the people over at Boeing, and they were like, are you serious? look like what the Wright brothers came out with right before they got it right. They
brought that to the people over at Boeing
and they were like, are you serious? We invested
in you two fuckers and you bring us this?
Get back to the drawing board. We're not strapping a fan to
people's backs.
So for
maybe six
weeks now, two months now, something like that,
I've been learning to fly.
And I go out there and the first,
it's all about ground skills.
You might think, if you were just guessing,
that it's about flying it well.
That takes no training, it's super easy.
It's all about getting up and getting down.
That's where I'm spending all my time right now.
And tomorrow, actually, so Marco,
my instructor, calls me today and he's like, Woody, you want to go tomorrow and Saturday?
And I'm like, yes, I'm in.
Let's do this.
I'll just reschedule or whatever.
Thursday nights are so late for me.
I often work until 3 and I got to get up at 5.
But I don't give a fuck because I'm pushing forward on this thing.
You haven't stopped.
No, I just go.
So I'm in.
And he calls me a little later and he's like, Woody, maybe we should cancel tomorrow.
The air is a little bit spicy, right?
He's saying it's too windy.
And another issue aside from just wind is variable wind.
Like if it comes out of the north one minute and the south another, that's tricky to deal with.
And he's like, it's a little bit spicy.
And I'm like, you know, you always say that and I always do fine.
And this is what he said.
Woody, that was kiting.
This is flying.
I'm like, ooh.
I might fly tomorrow morning.
You might die tomorrow morning.
I'll be fine.
You're actually going to go still?
Your instructor told you you shouldn't go tomorrow, and you said, no, I know better.
And he said, well, you're the guy with the flying machines well i gave you twelve thousand dollars so suck a dick i'll see you at five
i uh i offered to come earlier thinking that so we're starting at 8 30 and i thought he wanted
to start at 8 30 knowing that i have a three-hour drive to get there but he's like no you can't come
earlier there's still due on the ground, et cetera.
He's like, Woody, I've been doing this for a long time.
I know better.
And it's just like, settle down, baby.
You know, like I'm not fighting you.
I'm just offering to come earlier.
He really started pulling the I know what I'm doing, you don't business.
But, and he.
Yeah, how dare he?
He, I mean, he was like, he said like, look, if the wind's too high and it's wrong then we can't
do it and i appreciate that about him you know he hasn't let me kill myself yet he keeps like
because i was ready to fly day one i just thought i would be great at it um i'm wired stupid i'm
gonna be honest if i were at your house and you were like yeah just do it i'd totally put that
thing on and start running and just fly like like, if someone gave me one and turned me loose,
I would attempt to do it.
And I say that I in no way mean to belittle all the training
that you have gone through or anything.
I would probably die, but I'm just telling you that's what I'd do.
It might change your mind a little bit because, like, it's really loud.
There's a fan, like, blowing all around.
I weighed the backpack.
I weighed it because I was curious.
75 pounds.
Oh, baby.
Yeah.
Six stone.
And you could add like 10 more in gas.
Like it's not even full.
All right.
Now, I don't even know if I want any part of this.
That's a big load.
My flamethrower is like, what is it fully fueled?
Oh, I never weighed it fueled up.
But three gallons of fuel is 24 pounds.
I need to be honest.
It's actually 74.
I rounded to five. I don't think my flamethrower definitely doesn't weigh as much as that and it is a yeah i mean i can jog in it
it's 74 pounds and the gas tank is like 20 full um it's pretty comfortable it's it's like a
cadillac almost i feel like there are imagine it how many is it so there's definitely like a
shoulder strap there's a shoulder strap yeah i'll go over it there's a shoulder strap and then there's a chest strap to stop them from
sliding off and then there's two leg straps and then there's another leg strap that's looser
that like comes up the middle and like a seat belt waist strap that also goes between your legs
so there's like double on the legs shoulder shoulder and across. Well, I'm definitely capable of doing it physically. I was being a little iffy about that at first.
But 75 pounds is a lot to run with, but I could jog with it.
But wait, there's more.
How fast can it go?
Like when you're in the air, fastest speed, how fast can it go?
I don't know.
I guess.
Go ahead.
40.
Okay, 40 would be right if you're talking about like a max speed
like a temporary speed
where you're going downhill
like maybe you're in a spiral or something
it'll do like 40
everyone knows the human body can't survive
for 40 miles an hour at any given time
only a fool
a fool has to attempt that
but if you're like traveling somewhere going level
like the Archim, then you're
talking about like 22, 25.
It depends on the wing.
So,
anyway, I might fly tomorrow morning.
Oh, I wanted to say, one of the difficulties in it
is a 75-pound backpack
is hard to run with, but now you have a
backpack that's blowing you around and kind of
pushing you off balance. I would imagine that helps
though. I'm discounting anything you
say about that making it harder. I imagine
that at first it's like, oh god, this
stupid back, and then you're like, wow, and it's
like, oh, fuck yeah, turbo mode.
I think you might be
right, and I'll get to that.
My experience so far... What is the maximum
speed when the thing fucking
fails and you fall out of the sky?
That's the speed I would fucking be worried about.
Whatever terminal velocity is.
100 at 50
for a human body anyway. But see, that's the beauty
of this thing. But wait, I want to say
so there's a throttle that
looks almost like a handbrake on a bicycle
and the full
travel of it is an inch. So
Kyle, you've got the brake
in both hands. You've got like an inch of travel in this thing and you're running with 75 pounds on your inch. So, Kyle, you've got the brake in both hands. You've got, like, an inch
of travel in this thing. And you're running
with 75 pounds on your back. So you're, like,
bouncing around, trying to do this thing, trying to
keep the wing, looking everywhere at the same
time. Meanwhile, if you
move the throttle even a centimeter,
it's pushing you around. Like, it's making you want
to fall over. And this is hard to do while
running and kiting and all this other stuff at the same
time. So, I'm kind of new at it. i'm hoping that tomorrow i feel good about it i started like
gone i was joking with chiz i was like what if i what if in secret i had gotten one of these things
and i beat him to the flying like just to mess with it you can i could have flown already there's no doubt about it like i think on day one
it's like this like i want to i i look at myself and say well what it like could i do that next
thing whatever the next step is bunny hops flying etc and i think absolutely with a 40 success rate
i can do it right now but 40 success is not good when you're talking about flying shit
no you're gonna you're gonna want a hundred You're going to want to get closer to 100.
And you never get there, really.
Yeah.
So I'm always like, dude, look.
I just did the thing you wanted me to do right.
Let's do the next one.
And he's like, you know what?
Why don't you get that one really down pat so you do it right every time.
And then we'll go to the next one.
My instructor is always holding me back, preventing me from killing myself.
That's a good thing.
He's probably looking out for himself
though, because he's probably like, yeah, we've got
100% no fatality rating here. You
go down, all of a sudden he's like,
yeah, 87% non-fatality
rating. There was just that one asshole
on YouTube. We all
saw the video, you know. Oh, there's
another thing. So, my daughter's back.
I am bringing her with me. I am
going to have a film crew document my first flights oh so she's not flying before she can drive
because that would be the ultimate I have another thing you guys haven't seen
yet another contraption another flying machine from the new world help me I am the law.
Yes.
Oh shit, seriously.
That is Judge Dredd.
It's not a Judge Dredd thing.
This is flying helmet, but it totally looks like Judge Dredd, right?
It does.
He needs some red accents.
He's got a real Judge Dredd Robocop body.
Like this is a urban or whatever his name axes. He's got a real Judge Dredd Robocop box. Isn't it Urban or whatever his name is?
It's pretty cool.
So the ear muffs are, like, noise-canceling,
like you might wear for shooting guns or something.
But on top of that, they have, like, the anti-noise technology
that, like, a Bose headset might have.
And on top of that, they plug in.
So you can't hear yourself screaming as you plummet to the earth.
And they plug into a radio so you can
talk to other people.
If he puts this helmet back on, let me
show you. Let me just go ahead and say
that yes, there are nerds who are into
RPGs and fucking
Mountain Dew and shit. There's nerds who
are into that stuff, but look at what
a fucking nerd he looks like in that helmet, man.
I'm telling you. Nobody looks good in helmets. He's a fucking nerd he looks like in that helmet man i'm telling you nobody looks good in that he looks like yeah he looks like he's cosplaying someone who should
have just spent their united miles yeah like i was saying nerd baby i'm ready to kill someone
like i want to wedgie him actually to be honest that's how nerdy he looks to me. It's hysterical. It's got like a ridge in the middle.
Yeah.
I'm feeling a totally different thing.
I think that's the coolest part.
It looks so futuristic.
It's so shiny.
It's so shiny.
And it looks a lot.
It looks a lot like Judge Dredd.
It's very cool.
That's the coolest part.
I wish, and I doubt it has it, but I wish it had a heads-up display,
like lasered on the inside
and when you look it it like reacted so it was changing you know i looked into that a lot and
i think the iron man the thing is there are um goggles for skiers and snow snowboarders
that have a hud in them and that might be like the next iteration i looked into google glass
as well because i'd love to have
a GPS and that kind of thing.
They make augmented reality glasses
now that are a little bit bulky
but they're not as bulky as the Google
Glasses which are kind of sleek anyway. I guess
Kitty's got a dev pair or something.
Whatever you call it. But I saw some
augmented reality glasses the other day that just had
basic shit and maybe
something like... But what I would love is like the
you know like a fighter pilot has so that
if I look straight down you know I can see
through the floor of the plane and all that stuff
like something super futuristic but
that's cool as shit I really like that
I like the juxtaposition of
that super crazy like
jet fighter pilot helmet
and the fact that you're going to be going 35 miles
an hour getting past small birds.
Looks like we got a sparrow coming up on the right side.
Let's hope that doesn't fly right through our parish.
And it did.
We're going down! Sparrow again!
We're going down!
Just a zoom out of Hope holding it.
That's all that it is.
It's actually a paramotor helmet.
It's not like I grabbed
some fighter pilot thing. It's a cool helmet.
A fighter pilot helmet would be outstanding.
I looked at them in helicopter helmets and stuff.
I looked all over at
the different varieties.
They were more... How much do you
think it was? You know it's expensive, so just guess.
I'm guessing... Are we talking about
a fighter pilot helmet or a like a helicopter helicopter pilots helmet helicopter
pilots helmet i'm gonna guess 1200 bucks i'm gonna say i'm gonna say a cool a cool thousand
cool grand yeah a thousand no i don't think you'd find anything there at 1200 you might find the
cheapest of the like chinese knockoff yeah and then if you want like a nice headset,
like something that has noise canceling or something,
double that to three grand.
Damn.
Yeah.
The helicopter.
The same is true with computers though,
right?
Like,
like the more I look at this gaming PC stuff,
it's expensive shit.
Yeah.
I was looking at it and I was keep you alive better.
Or is it all like helicopters?
Features.
I think it was features.
Yeah.
There were some things that were nice like
you know how that has that um like tinted thing uh they had two you know like a clear one and
you slide that up and you put down the other one um there may have been better noise canceling in
the mic or something i don't know fighter pilot someone's probably like 80 grand or something
like that at least that's probably what we're paying. Yeah, if it's for the government. There are more, I think.
I was just reading the F-35 helmet cost.
On King of the Hill, there was a thing where Bill's an army barber,
and his barber chair is $80,000.
$400,000.
The new F-35, which I think is our newest plane.
I'm not super into it.
Yeah, that's the embarrassing one.
$400,000 helmets.
That's obscene.
Yes.
You could get 40 paramotors for the cost of the helmet.
Oh, now that's a much more effective fighting force.
Imagine 40.
This is like conscript.
Flying into battle with AR-15s and brrrr.
You know there's conscript spam now in...
What is it? Call of Honor? What the hell game do you play?
Metal? Call of...
Company of Heroes. That's what I'm going for.
There would be like paramotor spam.
You could generate them really quick, but they just
die when they get to battle.
I imagine they're all flying black sails too.
Black sails? You know how
ISIS and whoever
steal Humvees from us because they need better shit?
What we need to do is tactically lose a bunch of paramotors with US military banners on it.
And it says, like, you know, first paramotor division.
And so they're going to see that and be like, ha, these fucking Americans don't know we found their paramotor division.
And then they'll meet us in battle going 30 miles an hour
or I guess the surviving amount of them
who didn't die in the practice runs
Hey everybody, here they come!
It'll be like Duck Hunter
Bang, bang, bang, bang
You got your camouflage on
There'll be a dog laughing at you
if one of the paramotors doesn't drop
I do not think they will meet us in battle with these.
They're using traditional planes.
Yeah, see, that's cool about you
getting this thing and getting this skill,
is now this is a thing that you could offer to some
potential sponsor who wanted a video
made, right? Not only the
filming that you could do from it, but
I don't know, maybe you'd land at their paintball
event, or you'd land at their airsoft event or whatever whatever you're going to or doing like what he
lands now like that's how he gets there like well you need an uber where you get no i'll be landing
around noon it's i like it i think it's pretty cool it's a skill that you've got now it's a
great doomsday skill though like chiz and i were saying the other night i would just shoot you down if you tried to leave us um i was i was like you know imagine there's a like a nightmare scenario
like government fails or and the chinese are coming or the zombies are coming you know whatever
and woody's just like we're all just like just in despair we've lost all hope, and Woody's just like, later, guys!
I was like, he'd really show us then,
and then I was like, of course I'd shoot him down.
Chip was like, me too.
Honestly, yeah, nothing against any of you.
We shoot him down and try to get back in that thing
and take it for ourselves.
You're not leaving me behind.
Nothing against any of you,
but if any of you, we were in a dire situation
and you hopped in that wheelie bird thing
and tried to escape, I'm fucking killing you, because if any of you, we were in a dire situation and you hopped in that wheelie bird thing and tried to escape,
I'm fucking killing you because that's bullshit.
You're not escaping at 15
miles an hour as we have a 20 minute
goodbye conversation.
Please don't throw it at me!
I'm not doing that.
I'm starving!
Please!
I've got a full tank of gas!
I can't carry you.
You still got your camera.
I brought a...
I bought a gimbal.
Someone has to document this.
It's not here, but I bought a gimbal
so I can have steady cam GoPro footage on my helmet.
Okay, I think you'll be able to tandem
at least one of us up to safety.
For sure, me, I think you'll be able to tandem at least one of us up to safety. For sure, me,
I only weigh 182 pounds.
Yeah, I mean technically I could.
I'm currently not good enough to do it.
I weigh 200 and I know
Chiz weighs much more. He's taking me.
Let's just get that out there now.
I called shotgun in the
zombie apocalypse tandem paramotor
ride. You and I would be would be oh i would need a bigger
fuck all you people i'm gonna get on and crush it i'm like strap two more to me come on
i imagine boogie's paramotor would be like those uh those high-end gpus that have three fans
really spooled up that would be the greatest thing he could have like a trike or something with three
parallel paramotors and a giant 40 meters square meter wing just that'd be fun
whatever the fuck that bad guy's name is and sonic who flies in oh mr robotic
just like that you got boogie money you can have custom-made shit done, baby.
I'm telling you, man.
We have to do it one day.
Yeah, I would never jump on a tandem with anyone.
Can I change the topic for just one second?
Yeah.
So I know you're building a fucking killer rig.
What are you playing?
What the fuck are you playing on that?
So what I'm going to play is I'm definitely going to play Witcher.
I definitely want to play Star Wars Battlefront.
I'm probably going to play some of the games that I don't play now
because they are so beautiful and I've optimized them.
Are we playing Overwatch around here?
Is this something we're doing?
How are you not playing that fucking game?
I'm not into that style of game.
And if I were, I'd be more excited about Quake coming out.
Okay, I'm excited for Quake 2,
but 70 hours I put into the beta of Overwatch,
40 hours I now have in live.
I've streamed it every night since it comes out.
I love that game.
It's like, it's my bread and butter.
I thought we finally had a game in common.
I was so excited.
Is that the game where you play different characters
and everybody has a special ability?
It's the sexist game, the one that looks at women's butts.
Oh, yeah.
No, more seriously.
So I'm just thinking, remember, if you go back to like 2010, right,
having a YouTube channel that was just devoted to Call of Duty
was actually a pretty good idea.
They took over YouTube for a bit, kind of.
Do you think Overwatch is in that spot right now?
Yes, absolutely.
There are channels that have blown up
because of overwatch and they'll produce overwatch for the next six months and of course the bubble
will burst and a lot of those channels are smart enough to change it when the new game is out
i know a friend who was into gta when gta was the all the rage and there was an area where you could
have just a dedicated gta channel so that's what 90 of his videos were and now he's doing overwatch
and his user hires as high as they've ever been,
because he's just staying with whatever
the latest game is that you can do
cool, freaky shit with. And so
he was doing cool, freaky shit with GTA,
now he's doing cool, freaky shit in
Overwatch. And, I mean, there's
so much weird shit you can do in a custom game,
and just set up, and, like, there's a series
that I've been watching, everybody go look this up, it's the
Overwatch Mythbusters, and they just show you, like, different weird shit that the engine does, like there's a series that I've been watching everybody go look this up it's the Overwatch Mythbusters and they
just show you like different weird
shit that the engine does because it's a
it's a homemade engine built from the ground up
so there's all these like weird quirks in it
and they find all kinds of
do you remember the Cod Mythbusters?
and Halo too. I knew that game
so well almost every
Cod myth I was like that's a myth?
everyone knows you know,
what happens when you throw a grenade against a
flag or something.
Overwatch does this mode. They do
weekly brawls, and this weekly
brawls has been
nicknamed by my playgroup as
the Call of Duty mode, because it's all
Soldier 76, and
it's all pretty much like headshots
matter, and it feels exactly like
you're playing Call of Duty. You can't
really use his ultimate because his ultimate
resets when you die and it charges
very, very slowly. So it's just pretty much you
and an automatic rifle and your little
hill pot and then your sprint
button and that's it. And it feels like
Call of Duty to me. It feels like old school Call of Duty.
I haven't played very much of some
of the middle and stuff. I played the last one and
the one before it a little bit, but it's all the
wall jumps and shit like that. It feels like
old school Call of Duty. It's super cool.
If you're ever going to play it, play that one
mode. I can't play
multiplayer first person shooters
with a mouse and keyboard. I'm just not nearly good
enough. I have to be on console.
I just can't do it. It's funny. I used to make
fun of people saying that mouse and keyboard is the better way to play, but I realized eventually it's the better way to play for me. I have to be on console or with a I just can't do it It's funny I used to make fun of people saying that mouse and keyboard is the better way to play
But I realized eventually it's the better way to play for me
I have seen people using a controller probably yourself included that can do things that I can't do on mouse keyboard
You know, so I mean I I really I don't know about that
It's just I I'm just I'm not as keen with the mouse and keyboard keyboard. I play that really precise
Accuracy and quick accuracy that you need,
that twitch, oh, lock on target and kill.
When I see, like, we played CSGO, and it's just, I'm light years behind,
so much that it's not even worth trying to get good at it.
Lately, we've been playing RTS.
I've been playing a lot of Company of Heroes,
which is a World War II RTS strategy game.
Oh, man, I haven't played an RTS in a long time.
I really wonder where the fuck Warcraft 4 is.
You're playing Company of Heroes?
Yeah, Company of Heroes 2.
And then we played Age of Mythology before that quite a bit.
Oh, man.
Age of Mythology is quite old, but Company of Heroes 2 is newish, right?
Yeah, it came out last fall.
And I see Halo Wars is coming out.
Halo Wars 2, that's an RTS.
It's a Halo RTS.
That looked like it was fun.
Did you see the trailer for that, Taylor?
No, I didn't.
It's got a human commander,
like an old 55-year-old gray-haired,
square-jawed military vet.
You keep cutting to him walking really solemnly
toward the center of the battlefield.
And then they also cut to a brute from the Halo universe with his
warhammer doing the same.
And they're constantly calling in
forces. One of them will bring in
elites with
those magic
swords, the energy sword.
And then the human commander's calling
in ODST troops coming from
the sky. So it's a Halo RTS.
I'll give that a go.
Yeah, me too.
Now, isn't that also coming to PC via the Windows 10 Store? Is that
one of the Play Anywhere games
where, I don't know if you guys heard about this, but
Xbox, in a way to try to save
the brand a little bit, they are
publishing a lot of their exclusives
on the Windows 10 Store because it doesn't matter
to them where they sell them. If they sell them on Xbox or sell them on Windows 10,
they make just as much money because they own the Windows 10 store.
So it looks like even though the Windows 10 game ports right now
are atrociously bad, I think eventually they'll work the kinks out
and hopefully they'll be decent.
And the fact that you can literally play it on your Xbox for a while
then come over and play it on your PC
and use the same save file in the cloud is fucking incredible.
Yeah, I got Doom recently for console, and I'm going to end up buying it again for PC
because that's one that apparently is really – the 1080 graphics card apparently is very optimized for that game.
What game?
They keep talking about Doom, the new Doom.
And they keep talking about how amazing that is if you know, if you're in 4K and 60 frames.
And I'm really looking forward to doing that.
I think that when you get this computer,
you will like it so much
that your conversion to PC snob will happen.
Oh, it'll have to, right?
When I get a $3,000 PC.
Not just that.
I think you'll see it.
If nothing else, you'll have to pretend
or you'll feel like a fool for spending that much money on it.
I think you'll start...
If I didn't see the difference.
I'm not a mouse and keyboard person.
I'm not good at first-person shooter mouse and keyboard,
but I spend so much time moving around in Minecraft,
I'm competent.
I'm not lost.
I'm certainly not looking at the ceiling or floor
or anything crazy like that.
You'll quickly get to my level and pass it
if you get into this.
What I need to train myself to do is to is to learn my my hotkeys faster like I cheat a lot and
make my own hotkeys to stay familiar with what I'm familiar with what mouse do you use?
the rat 7 hmm I have it's really heavy like I have this one with these
hotkeys on it it's useful for Minecraft because you can change a thing in your
inventory I have that one too. I like it.
Is that the
Death Adder or something?
No.
I actually have the Death Adder.
Oh, it's the Maga or something.
It's for like...
It's got all the hotkeys on the side.
I've got the Whiplash 70.
It's not a gaming mouse.
It's fucking wireless.
You peasant. It's not a gaming mouse. It's fucking wireless, you peasant.
It's a $16 mouse from Target.
That I grabbed as an impulse buy
because I realized I forgot my other mouse at work
and I still wanted to play Company of Heroes 2.

These are the people that send you, like, the entire, like, meal, everything you need to cook it,

I think me and my wife have looked at this very recently,
and I think I'll probably end up signing up under you guys just to try it out.
This is awesome just to be able to get this all together.
It's convenient for the wife, and she loves cooking new stuff.
No bullshit.
We've had actually a really great experience with them.
It comes packaged.
They give you just what you need with the right amount of ingredients.
Like you said, spices, the garlic, garlic the herbs or whatever they come separately packaged even mayonnaise yeah like everything you need and then they have
instructions that are so simple i could follow them and i have twice and people if you don't
know like i don't really go beyond cereal very often but i can follow these instructions and um
yeah anyway it's uh, it's a...
Here's a secret tip for Blue Apron.
Now, I don't know for sure, but
I've noticed a trend that it lets you
check what you don't like. So if you're like a vegetarian
when you're doing it, you can just check the vegetarian box
and it'll never give you meat. Or if you don't like
fish, you can uncheck fish and you just get poultry
and, you know... See, that's actually
something I was going to ask you about. My wife is allergic to seafood,
so I wanted to know if we could, like sure we never got seafood that fits right in you uncheck
fish and i think i'm going to go back and do this because i've noticed that my favorite meals every
single time have been beef chicken or lamb so i'm going to uncheck everything that isn't beef
chicken and lamb and hopefully like triple pull up on those meals yeah you can pick the specific
meal you want i think that's what chiz was telling me, because I was like, I really want the Salisbury steak again. I really liked that. It was like lamb Salisbury steak. I liked it a lot. And he's like, oh, you pick what you want. So I think I'm going to go back in and do that.
Yeah, I didn't know you could pick what you want. Because we're getting three meals a week. Did you find that you were eating your favorite one first, and then the next favorite one, and then by the last one one you're like, this is good, but it's no spicy
General Tso's chicken.
Because I think I would just go back and
pick that same meal over and over and over
because it's great. Yeah, I need to do that
because there's been a couple of them that I just didn't like
because they're just not my thing. I didn't like the
udon noodles or whatever they were. I just wasn't
into that, but I really liked all of them.
That's not them though, that's just the food.
This has got to be good for you fucking wimps. you're especially if you're having to cook it yourself you're actually
learning how to cook a little bit you know you do yeah i don't really want to learn how to cook but
i have um because i didn't have any other vlog content you know it's like 7 p.m you realize you
have no fucking footage and you're like honey let's cook the p.m., you realize you have no fucking footage, and you're like, honey, let's cook the Blue Apron shit.
Will you help me?
I'm not even hungry.
Shut up and make a fucking Blue Apron.
I got to tell you, man, I do not envy you vlogging like 24 hours, like once a day.
Is that how often you're doing it?
I do it five days a week, and in my mind, I love that.
So what happens, like two days a week, I just don't do anything vlog worthy and I watch other people's vlogs and I'm like
that is a filler right this guy did nothing but I'm making stuff up don't
try and think of who I'm talking about but like this guy did nothing but go to
Starbucks eat out twice and vlog close-ups of his fucking drinks or
whatever like that was a filler day this guy didn't have a vlog worthy day and if you catch
me on like my monday video there's a very good chance you're more than a day behind like something
cool happened on friday and it just you know hung all the way over so by cutting out my worst two
days a week i feel like it it helps a ton i think it's really good yeah if you got nothing to vlog
about are you just gonna be like okay's – we're not doing it today.
I'm going to – you guys can understand.
I didn't do anything worthy of watching.
There's a couple techniques.
First of all, I get to cut out two a week.
So that helps.
I can have days that aren't vlog worthy.
And then I watch other people and I'm like, all right.
Like Casey Neistat.
He'll do one of two things.
He'll do like a Q&A video, which I did this week.
And he'll do a project.
He'll be like a Q&A video, which I did this week. And he'll do a project. He'll be like, all right, you know, I keep pressing this button on my camera.
So I'm going to glue a piece of wood to it so I don't accidentally press this button.
And it's like, oh, that might have been a way not to make a vlog today.
Because he's doing a project instead of like, you know, following himself all day long.
instead of following himself all day long.
And I look at what other vloggers do because you can't film every day of your life all the time.
Isn't it boyfriend versus girlfriend?
I think that's who they are on YouTube.
They just had to stop
because they said it was ruining their lives,
ruining their relationship.
There's a pressure to be on camera all the time.
I think they did break up, right?
Or maybe they're trying to work it out and maybe get back together
or something. I don't know. One's in LA, one's in New York.
Right. Okay, well, I guess, yeah, that does it.
But I think, like, you know,
the pressure to make YouTube is
enough. And then, like, having people
in your lives, even to the limited extent that we do,
can be, I mean, that can be a lot of
pressure, you know? And you also have to deal with the
crazies, you know? There's some guy uploading a video talking about raping my wife this week.
You know, it's just, it's scary shit dealing with these. What is it with your wife? I don't know,
man. I don't know. I don't know, but I mean, he threatened to kill me too, but I mean,
yeah. Uh, but right. But then like when you invite him into your lives for like vlogging like that
boy i mean that's just got to be a scary territory but i'm sitting here looking at your channel right
here and i'm looking at some of these vlogs and i'm so eager to like just fucking shut down skype
and watch you uh learning to fly this looks fucking fascinating i can't imagine what you're
doing yeah the next episode is going to be the one where he first goes into the air so that'll
be one you don't yeah you're seeing a lot of me like hiding but we have to be the one where he first goes into the air. So that will be one you don't want to do.
Yeah.
You're seeing a lot of me like kiting.
You have to be regular with vlogging.
I am on a once every four years vlogging.
And so my next one is scheduled for 2018.
So settle that.
The schedule is the key part.
Now, every day I think is the ultimate, right?
But I don't want to do that.
I come out with vlogs Monday through Friday,
PKA on Saturday. And then
the reason I don't do anything Sunday is so that PKA
can double up on views.
You know, like I don't want to bump it like
12 hours later. But
yeah, so that schedule
is like Jenna Marbles uploads every Wednesday.
You know, not every day. Maybe
she'd do even better or worse. Who the hell knows?
But at least you know, like every Wednesday like, oh oh it's time to look for a jenna marbles video i sit here and and i
try to drill this like vlog monday through friday pka saturday into everyone's head
so they know when to find it but um yeah it makes it so your uploads look nice and in a certain
color i have so many people have commented on that, like this OCD kind of thing.
Like here.
There was a comment about it.
It won't take me long.
Yeah, well, basically when Woody uploads it,
there's a bunch of blue squares and then PKA is red.
And so it looks...
Yeah.
I was about to say, I love your thumbnail right now.
It's very, very good.
You know what?
As a guy who's killing it on YouTube right now, and be brutal if you think, do you love the thumbnails?
I do.
I wonder if the small pictures are too small and they don't sell it like they could.
I might. If i were to make a
change i would cut the day in the life of woody portion and cut that so you can make your pictures
and your title for the video a little uh grabby grabbier and i like i ever hate to ever promote
clickbait but that wouldn't really be clickbait because you're talking about i mean it's not
untrue right that would give your title a little more space and get it
a little bigger and then, uh, and, and push the topic a little more. Cause I mean, obviously
once someone's seen your blue thumbnail once they they're going to know that's your vlogging series.
And then every time they see a blue thumbnail with this particular editing technique, they're
going to know it's day in life. This is what he does is blue thumbnails that look like this are
always day in life. So I would cut that so that you have more room for pictures and more room for
the title. And I might even go with three pictures
if you can fit it.
So I used to do three pictures.
My problem now is sometimes there's
an interesting thing in the picture
and it's like, when I make it
the thumbnail looks fantastic because it's
gigantic. And then when you see it in
the context of YouTube
it's just, you know, freaking tiny
pixels that don't sell the video. They're too small. What looks great in full screen looks
terrible as a thumbnail. Like if you look at some of your thumbnails here too, like you've got the
fire fuel and fixing the taco number 61 here, there's no faces in that and faces, uh, like they
perform better in thumbnails than anything else. You always want a face. If it's your face or somebody that you're interacting with at the end of the day,
again, day in life, what do you have this picture of somebody setting on
what looks like a – well, it's you setting on your vehicle.
Like one with a picture of the flight thing or then another picture of a face,
I think that's going to add to more clicks.
But then again, who knows because, I mean,
the numbers are pretty consistent across all of these.
Yeah, I do try to do the face thing.
Like, most of them have a face, but you're right, they don't all.
I like the way you do it, because nothing makes me want to watch a vlog,
or, well, I don't watch them anyway, for the most part,
but, like, anytime I see one where it's, like, a guy's face, like,
and it says, like, caught in a bear trap!
Exclamation point, question mark.
It's like, you piece of shit.
Like, nobody believes this, except for your weird cult of sycophants
that for some reason watches your dumbass talk.
But I hate that.
I hate that kind of thumbnail.
And it feels like so 2009, like, as though people still fall for that.
You don't think mine looks 2009?
No, I was saying.
No, I was asking.
You don't think so? I don't think so, no. I think it looks 2009 the no i was saying no i was asking you don't think so i don't think so
no i think it looks pretty modern i think i might follow your advice with cut off day in the life
make the text a little bit bigger so it's more readable and make the pictures bigger because
right now i feel like sometimes there's okay do you see the one on the left four down there's me
like flying in a field or something like that.
You can't see what that is.
Not in thumbnail.
I'm sure it looked great on my monitor, but when it's tiny, it looks like it's just grass or something.
Right, that's exactly it.
You could just put a pair of tits in there.
The old DeFranco approach.
I do that on Pingu already. I love Philip DeFranco.
Let me be very clear.
I fucking love him.
We all do.
But how in the fuck is he the one guy on the internet that doesn't get shit for that type of thumbnailing?
It drives me crazy.
I think he's the only one who's never stopped doing it.
There's a certain value in that.
If I were to put boobs in there, and I do actually for PKA. for pka in painkiller already if we talk about some like i don't know rapist teacher and her
13 year old boy there's a picture of her boobs in there like like oh dude we talked about the girl
you know i think that's fair that's very fair yeah well they're never false advertising well
they're rarely false advertising but if the title mentions anything that can be associated with a
pretty girl there's a pretty pretty girl that matches it in the
thumbnail. I mean, there's a reason for it.
It draws people in.
Yeah.
Well, anyway, thank you
for indulging Thumbnail Talk. I think I might
take you up on that.
I might take your advice on that.
Well, let me know how it performs. Let me know what it does.
So back to fucking video games.
How about that? How about
E3 this week? Did you guys get
into E3? Yeah, I saw it was on Twitter.
I didn't check it out.
That's kind of what I was talking about.
I love you, man.
E3 for me is like
fucking Christmas
because, number one, my views are always
very, very good, and I do get
the advertisements that appear before and after are very, very profitable and i do get like the advertisements that appear
before and after are very very profitable so i really like to get some good e3 content covering
what was going on so i change my sleep schedule around i'm like taking melatonin at like as early
as 1 a.m which is like final exams for crash course right i get in there i get my fucking
like i get my live or my twitter account going and I'm live tweeting the most snarky shit about all the stupid
Fucking shit. They're doing and like when when Ubisoft this year they did this like
This is they adjust dance number right and they have like clowns and a dude dressed as a giraffe and a dude dressed as a panda
And there's like fucking clowns like with their tits hanging out and shit
It's like crazy fucking dance number and then I should
Tyler takes the stage,
and then all of the clowns gather around her,
and the giraffes and the pandas.
And she goes, we'd just like to take a moment
to sincerely remember the victims of the Orlando shooter.
And the clown is just smiling,
because I don't know why she's smiling.
And there's this doofy giraffe going,
and there's the cringiest fucking moment of E3.
But no one will –
Patriot draft, sad.
But I, like, tweeted out.
I'm like, holy shit, this is disrespectful.
And everybody got mad at me for pointing out how fucking disrespectful it is.
And then you look at all the E3 gag reels, and nobody will talk about it
because they don't want to do anything to harm any, like,
add any bad thoughts to the Orlando thing. And I get that. And so I haven't talk about it because they don't like they don't want to do anything to harm me like add any bad thoughts to the orlando thing and i get that and so i haven't talked about it
much either i like kept it out of my francis video or whatever but i just fuck me dude like
my asshole cringed so hard i turned inside out and i shit up my mouth it was that
you're the only okay that checks out you're the only person bo follow on Twitter that still posts gaming stuff.
All the other gamer people have faded away from that.
And I liked just looking at your slew of tweets.
And it was like almost reading someone who's really passionate about cricket talk about it,
but me looking at it like, I have no fucking idea.
And you were just tweeting stuff that I could tell was funny,
but I didn't know the references of like, oh yeah,
death slayer,
like trying to make doom again in 2006.
Am I right?
And it's like,
you probably got them pretty good there.
Oh,
I bet they're going to think twice about that one. And then we'll go to Googling and see if I can't figure it out.
Yeah,
I like that.
But I did see,
I watched one trailer called Death Stranding.
Death Standing.
Oh, yeah, with Norman Reedus and shit.
It's Kojima Productions.
It's the same guy who did the playable trailer.
Right, right, right, right.
And it looks like everybody was wanting him to do the spiritual successor to a PT.
And I don't know if this is going to be
that, but it looks fucked up enough to where I don't
care because it looks just, like there's Norman
Reedus and his Norman fetus coming out of his
belly and shit. Just like absorbs
it and there's like dead fish everywhere and then like
spirits, I don't know. What do you mean spiritual
successor to PT?
PT was that
demo that they put, that's
tied to Silent Hills, right?
And so it was, like, supposed to be a completely stand-alone demo
to show what he could make the PlayStation 4 do
when it comes to the next Silent Hill game.
And, of course, it ended...
Stand for something?
Playable trailer.
Playable trailer, that's exactly what it was, yeah.
So you play through it, and it was, I mean,
it was 30 minutes of gameplay there, this playable trailer,
and at the end of it, it shows Norman Reedus,
and everybody's like, fuck yeah, it's going to happen.
And then Konami decided to just shit the bed
and become the worst company ever.
Kojima separates with him.
And then, of course, Sony just throws money at Kojima,
and they're just like, whatever you want to do,
here's all the money you need to do it, just make us a game, please.
And that's what he's making for them.
And apparently Norman Reedrias was jazzed
to work with the guy um because like there's been like personal photos of him and norman arias just
fucking hanging out i guess they're best friends now or something um and so this is the game that
he was going to make but everybody wanted to be a like a spiritual successor to silent hill
and be similar to that series and and I mean, obviously it can't be.
I think Konami's, at the very least,
they're so desperate for money
that they're relying on pachinko machines
because they don't want to invest money
to make a new game.
So I think they'd sue them
if it was too close to that series.
I guess Silent Hill, Silent Hills,
I don't even know what the name of those games are.
But this does look creepy and fucked up
and I expect it to be as amazing
as anything Kojima could ever make.
So it should be pretty good.
Did you play the playable trailer?
Do what?
I did, and I very stupidly deleted it from my PlayStation 4, so I don't have it on there anymore, and you can't re-download it from the store.
But I did. I actually uploaded the gameplay of me playing through it and everything, and it was fucking terrifying.
It was completely terrifying.
It was so scary.
I only wish I could play that demo again in VR.
Are you guys into VR at all?
Yeah, that's why I'm getting the PC.
Kyle is into it.
Yeah, I don't think any of us are experienced in it, but Kyle has a deep interest in it.
I have my Oculus Rift here on the left of me, and I have my Vive on the right of me,
and if you have any questions, feel free.
YouTube money!
Yeah.
Do you ever get car sick, like motion sickness?
I have not gotten sick with PSVR when I tried it.
I have not gotten sick with my Vive at all.
I have gotten sick with my Rift.
My Gear VR, my Oculus Gear, you know, the one that connects to your phone,
I get sick with it very rarely.
I played the game that comes with the Rift pre-order,
which is Lucky's Tale,
and it made me very nauseous
because it has zero forward and back head tracking.
So it's like this platformer game,
and you play it with an Xbox controller.
And so, like, at one point in the third level,
there's these coins, invisible coins.
Like, they're not invisible, but they're, like, see-through coins. So there's a trail of coins that goes towards my face. And clearly you're
supposed to jump towards your face where they're with Lucky and then have them land on a platform.
So what's the natural instinct is to lean back to see if you can see that platform,
because it feels like you're just looking over a 3D world, right? And so you lean back and it
doesn't have backwards head tracking or it doesn't have
very much so i leaned back as far as i could and when my the world around me didn't move
my perspective didn't move with my head i was like oh my word fucking done and just set the
thing down and i'll never beat that game because of that yeah yeah are you able to make content
with vr games uh like how do you mean, like, to be able
to... Well, I mean, like, I think if you just record
it and upload it, you'd have two
screens, right? I had...
It was very easy to do with
the Vive. The Vive was
just... I didn't even have to do anything.
It automatically booted up what I was
seeing inside the game, and then I just
plugged it into XSplit. I use XSplit, not
OBS, fuck you. It's yelling me all you want
out there, people. But I plugged it into
XSplit and it recorded it no problem. I tried
with the Rift and I could never figure
out how to get sound into
what was on the screen.
So I tried three or four times and I'm like...
Are people seeing double images?
No, they will see one image
because it'll put out one
image on your... on the little preview window.
So it'll look just like as if you were playing the basic game,
and then the only time you'll get double images is here.
But that's one of the reasons these things are so fucking power intensive.
Because they're generating that image,
and then generating the two differential images based off of that image
is the way I think it works, you know?
Yeah, what would it be like if you were blind in one eye?
I actually have an astigmatism
in my left eye, and because of that I have
a very, very poor depth perception,
and 3D movies are not
very fun to watch, so I think
I'm not blind in one eye. I'm legally blind
in this eye, but I'm
not fully blind in this eye, and
I can still make out a good
amount of things with my glasses on.
And I actually don't have that much trouble using them. So I do, because of the astigmatism,
my brain has trained itself to rely on the information from one eye more often than it
will from both eyes, or even it'll pick one eye and believe that information. So sometimes when
I'm using my Rift, maybe once an hour, I'll lose the 3D effect and have to close my
eyes and then open them again to force my brain to recheck two-part question so you wear glasses
right your glasses have like a distant zone where they are best and how does that work with VR like
I wear reading glasses so obviously if I look across the room, it's garbage, right? You'd be better off
without them.
How does that work in the VR world?
That would be higher trifocals if they had specific
areas of the lens to look through.
So minor reading glasses,
which means the whole lens is a reading glass,
which is nice for reading, but you
pretty much have to take them off if you
go to the bathroom or something.
It's different than
prescription glasses. Prescription glasses tend to try to give you a good median view
so that you can see things close up and things far away reading glasses want to help you see
things closer up better because obviously you're looking at something very close when you're
reading i actually wear a pair of reading glasses over my prescription glasses when i'm playing
magic these days because some planeswalker text is so small,
I can't fucking read it otherwise.
And so my friends make fun of me every once in a while
when they see me wearing two pairs of glasses.
But fuck you, it works and I can see.
Yeah, suck my dick and I'm about to beat you in Magic.
I always catch myself closing my left eye
when I want to really be sure I'm reading something correctly.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I think if you wore reading glasses in one of these devices,
I think it would work pretty good, actually, to be frank.
I will tell you that my glasses, which are not particularly large glasses,
have a lot of trouble fitting into the Rift.
In fact, I've been using the Rift without them,
but I haven't had that much trouble without them.
I wouldn't get the Rift, and it seems like there's such a hate for the Rift now
with them going around and buying up so
much content and trying to make everything exclusive
to them. Which is what's so amazing is they've bought
up all that content, yet there's only like 20
games in the store. For the Vive
there's already like 100-somethings. Yeah, fuck them.
I'm definitely getting the Vive. I want to
ask this though. So I'm definitely interested in playing
the games. The game that I saw that
the massive Star Trek nerd in me wants to
play, of course, is Bridge Commander. You are part of the bridge crew, and when you look around,
the rest of the bridge crew is there, and it's like multiplayer, so that like, oh, you know,
I'm the tactical officer, and I've got a display over here, so I'm actually locking photon torpedoes
on the Klingons. You're the captain. You're giving me orders, and you're in control of some stuff,
but there's a guy flying the ship over there, moving us around.
That seemed really cool.
And there's lots of games like
that that are going to be a lot of fun
and that tech is going to advance really
quickly. No, because I want to ask him this question.
This is what I'm getting to.
It's basically another monitor,
right? It's a third monitor that I'm getting
when I get this vibe. Would you watch a movie
in this thing? Would that ever happen? I have watched a lot of content adult movies in my age my my gear
um and like you know I'm lucky to be with a girl who doesn't really mind adult entertainment she
doesn't mind adult entertainment even being involved in things that we do so one of the
very first things I did with my gear was enjoy some stuff while
looking at some stuff. And I will tell you that you would not necessarily, like there's
a theater experience that you can do in the gear and also with the Vive, I mean with all
of them. And you could watch a movie that way. And if you want to watch a 3D movie that
way, it's actually pretty cool. When you're watching a regular movie that way, I think you're better off watching
it on your television. Yeah, because I've got
nice sets. Right, yeah, I think
you're probably better off watching it on your television.
Though I have laid in bed
and watched Netflix, and just
laid on my back and watched Netflix, and that was actually
super cool too. What an incredible
innovation that is. I'm being serious.
That's great. Me too. It's actually really nice.
Why is it so great?
Because you can lay down like this,
but you can have the screen right there.
So it doesn't matter where you're lying, you can
comfortably have a perfect
viewing screen for yourself.
And the Oculus Gears
theater app, and also
the Netflix app, you can choose different
locations to be inside of.
So obviously they're going to put the screen here, so you can be in a movie theater, or you can be in a living room, or you can be different locations to be inside of. So obviously they're going to put the screen here.
So you can be in a movie theater or you could be in a living room or you could
be on the moon on like a living room on the moon.
And it's kind of cool too.
I can actually go to the theater.
That's,
that's all right.
I don't need that,
but,
but I like,
you go to it on the moon.
Wildly inappropriate places.
Like I'm the third row at Hitler's biggest rally watching.
It's always sunny for no reason.
Just wildly inappropriate things
of where you could be. That would be great.
I would imagine the Fuhrer is always going to be there
if I have augmented reality. That's
going to be a keystone of my VR experience.
But, yeah, I'm really excited about this.
To me, this is a $3,000, well,
$3,500 toy
that I'm getting. And the things
I obviously want to play the games I already love in their maxed out settings
and just experience it. I want to experiment
with the new cutting edge stuff that I
don't even mess with because...
You don't know this yet, but you want to experience the porn.
Because the porn is fucking insane.
I get that.
I want the porn.
Tucker disagrees.
Tucker Ijerico?
If you don't
know, he's also kind of at the
forefront of this VR stuff.
He works with all the VR companies, so
he gets all the gear for free.
And he's an expert
on it. This is what I was going to
interrupt with. He agrees that
the, is it the Vive?
Which one did he say was the great one?
The Vive. Yeah, the Vive. He also agrees that's great. He says though that for the porn
he's like, it doesn't seem like some great real life
experience. He's like, it's like you're having sex with a 50 foot tall woman and there's no
Well, it depends on who shot the porn and the quality of it. I've seen
porn from three different companies and I forget the name of the company that
did it the best. A lot of people are having trouble filming it because uh if you if you do uh if she's too
close to the camera it's awful and the camera placement is very difficult to get but if the
girl's like down there doing her business with her mouth or whatever that looks really realistic
because she's riding you yeah can't look like the 50 foot tall girl so like i was watching an
interview with one of the girls who's shooting VR porn,
and she's like, it's so awkward to shoot it because in order for us to get it right,
you have to lean so far back for it to look right for the camera,
and it's very difficult to have sex that way, but it does look right for whatever.
And most of the time, most of the people that have shot the porn now do not realize.
So the girl's like right up in your face.
It's literally, she looks gigantic.
You know, it really depends on what it is.
That's interesting.
I wanted to get blown by a giant woman.
It sounds like the porn shoes.
So I feel like the concept of making porn two years ago
was pretty much like,
we're going to have a wild time over here.
You capture it as best you can.
And we'll do positions and stuff,
which give the camera access to see the
up-close gynecological
details, but mostly
you just capture. Now, it seems like they're
actually performers more than
they used to be. Like with VR,
it's not even about the sex as much
as it is making a video about the sex.
An experience. Yeah.
I am such an idiot when I
was thinking about this that I never, just thinking about it,
I never thought about it in detail, I guess.
Never thought about it always being in, like, POV.
And so I always was thinking, like, why the fuck would I want to watch this on my head
and just be some creep in there?
Like, fuck that.
Why?
And now I'm just sitting in the corner watching.
I'm an idiot.
Like, why? I was just like,
who's going to do this?
What kind of fucking
I saw you thinking
over there too.
I was like,
I wonder what Taylor's thinking.
Some of the early videos
were exactly that.
And a lot of the porn
is shot 180,
not 360, right?
And not only
was it filmed
from a third perspective,
but it was also
them moving the camera
around the way you would
normal porn except it was a 180 camera well you want to talk about fucking seasick holy shit
there's nothing worse than seeing through somebody else's eyes watching two people fuck
like it's terrible it's just so terrible and why would the fantasy be you creepily just existing
i will say the weirdest experience that i had so far is i i downloaded this video um shot
from a woman's perspective and so like you look down and you you have perfect tits and there's
another girl going down on you and sucking on your boobs and and just like it all this she gets up and
rides you you know whatever and i'm like this is i do not know how to feel about any of this
this is good but it's also real weird man i feel like my masculinity has been challenged today
and i if i orgasm at this am i a girl now what i get felt i have had this thought process before
like if jackie and i switched bodies right like would I let her fuck me? Like, that seems really gay.
But you know what?

we get like a free like a little trial sample yeah like she was like oh yeah there's no credit
on that account now because because like she was i was going back and forth with sample. She was like, oh yeah, there's no credit on that account.
I was going back and forth with her and I was like,
look, here's what I want.
I know what I want.
She was like, oh, there's no credit on the account.
I was like, well, shit.
It's funny.
I talked to her and she's like, oh, you're that podcast?
Apparently, they've done very well with our advertising.
I should have dropped my name then.
Maybe I'll send her another email.
I didn't know that we were famous.
Yeah, the campaign is where the sales associate knew all about it.
But yeah, yeah, they sell good stuff.
And my stylist was cool, so I like that too.
You know what?
We haven't talked about the Orlando thing on PKA.
No, we haven't.
I think it's bad that that happened.
I do too.
I think that's a deal we can all
stand and defend.
I don't care
what kind of flak I get.
I'm against it.
In the words of that very
weird looking giraffe.
We saw it.
I made a video about it.
I think, you know,
but the point of the video wasn't necessarily like,
I don't know.
I guess you guys have dealt with this a lot too,
so I've dealt with it a lot. You deal with the crazy people doing this job,
this entertainment thing,
and you deal with people who
make idle threats, and you make
things, you know. And a lot of people, this kind of got
foreshadowed by their Orlando shooting, as
it probably should be, but there was a young lady by the
name of Christina Grimmie, who was a YouTuber,
a singer, she was on The Voice,
and she was killed three days
before by a crazed fan
who, I guess, I remember.
He knew the family, right? he was obsessed with her um his thing
was he had gotten uh this is a thing i read today he had gotten hair plugs and lasik as these were
all things that he had done in an effort to be better for her his goal was to marry this woman
and like he had he like fantasized about her and idealized her and like she was his thing and when
she turned him down i guess he
shot her so i i think you know i think about the just the dangers of someone showing up at our
front door with a shotgun every day i worry about going to vidcon next week and knowing that some
lunatic could walk in there and start firing up the place now hank green has spent six hundred
thousand dollars on security according to an email he sent me and everybody else this last
week to note making to make sure that
there's going to be metal detectors and clothed and, you know, uniformed and non-uniformed officers
walking the whole place. And they're going to be watching and profiling people all weekend.
So I know we're going to be safe. But again, you cannot think about those things. Then
I think I try to take myself out of my own mind and put myself in the mind of every
LBGT member in the world
and how they all feel that exact same way right now.
And they're not doing a high-profile, also a high-paying job.
They're just trying to be true to themselves.
And I can't imagine what it'd have to be like to have to go to any club in the world right now
or even walk the streets and be afraid that one of these fucking lunatics are going to gun you down
for simply the way that you express love. What a fucking world we live in, man. I just can't imagine.
And so, I mean, I don't know how many, you know, lesbian or gay or transsexual people you have
watching the show, but know that I've tried to put myself into your feet, into your shoes, and
fuck, man, I can't imagine having to
live like that i'm so sorry you have to you know but if if the people that died in orlando they
died fucking warriors you know they died people who refused to be afraid except for that one guy
who held the door shut yeah that fucking guy dude i have a different take on it than boogie and i'm
listening to you and i'm like yeah who, who could disagree with that? I do.
Because every time I see one of these terrorist attacks,
and this might come across unpopular, I'm not terrorized at all.
Not in the fucking slightest.
If they take a plane down, I'm like, yeah,
but I guess it's just a mathematical side to me that's like,
I'm still not scared to fly.
If they take out a shopping mall – if they take out people in a shopping mall, I'm not afraid to go to a shopping mall.
I'm there next day looking for sales because everyone else is afraid.
If suddenly the terrorists take out paramotorists, I'm like, shit, maybe I can – maybe the skies will be clearer.
I don't know.
Whatever it is.
I agree with you there. I'm not at all terrorized by this stuff
No, it I'm never terrorized by it because if you see if you take one step back
This is separate from like what happened to Orlando. This is just terrorism in general
But but if you take a step back like shit your your paramotoring
Paramotor people who paramotor are like God
I'd like to see the stats you know about the likelihood of you dying in a terror attack
versus that fucking paramotor, right?
I mean, let's just be real here.
And the same is true for all of us.
We all do things in our daily life that...
For what it's worth,
motorcycling more dangerous than paramotoring.
More people are killed in the United States every year
by toddlers than are killed by terrorists.
Like, intellectually...
That might be different this year, though.
It's been a rough year. Intellectually, everybody knows that. That might be different this year, though. It's been a rough year.
Intellectually, everybody knows
when something shitty happens
and a terrorist attacks,
by numbers, it's not going to happen to you.
What makes it upsetting to people is that
it's not like dying in a paramotor crash
where you made a choice that put you up
there and then something went wrong and you died.
It's someone jumped in and ended
your life for something. Even like, I i don't know it's kind of like when you're when you're 16 or something
and i was driving around recklessly like in my head it's like i'm not gonna die that happens
to other people other people get in stupid accidents other people get shot other people
have to deal with natural disasters not me you know it's kind of like that like you don't get
terrorized by it until unless you're very easy to scare.
Yeah.
I think part of it for me is that, because I don't have, like, live TV.
Like, there's no CNN in my life, no Fox, no MSNBC, whatever.
Same.
So that, like, stream of, oh, my God, the horror.
Like, I don't know if there's videos of guys, like, screaming.
None of that happens to me.
You know, I just sort of read on Yahoo what happened and say, that didn't scare me.
It happens with all kinds of stories.
Celebrity deaths, whatever.
When there's no television... That's just your lack of empathy, though.
That's the whole thing. Maybe I'm a psycho.
Sociopath.
A lot of these things just don't hit home with me that much.
I think part of it is that there's no
anchorman on the edge of tears
telling me the story.
Yeah.
I,
I,
I feel the same way.
And you know what?
I don't know if we have is I feel like back in the day,
like if Tom broke off,
broke down and told me something bad happened,
I would get the feels a lot more than I don't even know who,
like who was in the air.
Come on and tell me now.
Anderson Cooper did do a two hour special in which you never mentioned, more than i don't even know who like who was it a person there come on and tell me now like anderson
cooper did do a two-hour special in which he never mentioned the name of the person who did it but
read the name of every victim of that shooting and he broke down in fucking tears to do it man i gotta
tell you he's one of the most moving things i've ever saw but if i can say while i got the floor
let me go ahead and say woody's got the right idea you know with these little chicken shit
pieces of shit fucking psychotic worthless
garbage humans decide that they not only are too fucking worthless to live in this world but they
want to take as many people out with them as they can you know they're they're fucking don't live in
fear of these people that's what they want they want to make you miserable you know you are happy
they want to make you unhappy because they are unhappy and they want to kill people who are happy. They want to make you unhappy because they are unhappy, and they want to kill people who are happy.
Don't let them fucking rob you for a second of the joy that you find in this life.
Don't force you to think twice about who and what you are.
Don't ever let these fuckers dictate an action that you have, a thought that you have.
Don't let them occupy a space in your brain or a space in your heart because there's nothing you can do about it. You're talking to a person who was a shut-in for seven years because
he was afraid of the outside world. And I can tell you, it was the worst seven years of my fucking
life. It was a wasted seven years that I would never get back. Don't for a second let these
terrorizing lunatics, these pieces of shit, these garbage people make you afraid to be you. Live your
life the best you can. Live it without
fear. Otherwise, these fuckers win.
And that's the last thing I'm going to let them do.
And that goes...
God, it seems like it's a bad time to get
political. But
I'm not completely
opposed to the government
reacting to this at all, but I
definitely am opposed to any kind of
knee-jerk taking advantage of
public outrage
or fear or whatever. Just take a
breath. It's always what happens.
Yes. But, you know,
my whole thing is let's take a breath. Let's take a breath
and if there's anything we need
to do to chill
on, like, you know, to make this better,
it should be the result of careful
analysis and debate and not like let's strike while the iron's hot the fact that it went to
gun control instead of anything else that it could have been is fucking ludicrous that people act
like the hardest part of that equation was getting him a gun it wasn't indoctrinating him to think
that because other people are different he should should murder them. That wasn't the hardest part. The hardest part was getting a gun.
That's totally outsourcing the root of the problem. This was a venomous,
awful person. That guy had turned away from a gun store.
The gun store reported this guy. The failing is with the government.
The failing is with the people who are supposed to be enforcing the laws that are on the books.
This guy was already under surveillance.
No law that's put into place is ever going to fix a scenario like this, where this guy
was already under FBI investigation, okay?
This is a Hillary Clinton level of scrutiny he was already under at this time, and yet
they still didn't get to the bottom they still didn't see it coming so what kind of like what kind of overreaching law is is going to look into our hearts and souls and
our emails and our text messages and be able to identify some random lone wolf out there who's
been influenced by propaganda on the internet or whatever better than than the situation we
already had where he's under fbi investigation he's being reported by people, he has a violent past, he's
clearly someone who has access to weapons
with a Class G weapons license. He's been
under scrutiny, but he's passed it.
You would never apply the amount of scrutiny
that was applied to this individual because of his
ownership of those
guns, and because of his job
that he had, to the everyday
citizen. You would never apply that much scrutiny,
so it's a moot point.
And to add it, he wasn't a lone wolf.
No, he wasn't.
Are you talking about his wife or someone else?
At the very least, you can admit,
his wife knew about it.
His wife knew he was planning on murdering people
and did nothing.
And you can, I guess, say,
oh, then she was the only one who knew.
Like, she even drove him.
She even fucking drove him to case the place.
And then he sell his house to his sister for $10.
There were so many premeditated people involved in this shit.
There were a lot of people in his immediate vicinity
and his community who knew about this and did nothing.
So to discount it as a lone wolf thing is just...
And I think it goes back to the hatefulness of
that of that religion because i i maybe if he maybe if they knew he was going to go shoot up
uh i don't know a playground they would have came forward but because he's casing a gay nightclub
they're like i can't think of a group of people who need it more ten dollars sounds fair sure
what do they say about saying things like the hatefulness of that religion.
Why?
Is it not hateful?
I will say that the majority of the people who practice that religion
obviously practice it peacefully.
I will also say that that's true of the Christian religion as well.
And I would say based on the shootings we've had,
the 118 shootings we've had,
the 118 mass shootings we've had, the 118 shootings we've had, the 118 mass
shootings we've had in the country
so far this year, it seems to be
pretty on ratio for Christian
shooters as it is Muslim shooters.
I'm pretty sure a mass shooting is two people.
Yeah, the whole mass
shooting thing, I looked into the stats of that.
They're saying that since Sandy Hook, there have been
998 mass shootings killing
1,100 people. If that's not manipulation, I don't know what is.
I think they just really overstate the whole mass shooting thing.
They do.
They're including people in gang violence in South Chicago as mass shooting.
I mean, why is that not included if you kill two people?
I don't know why that wouldn't be included.
Because mass shooting to me means strangers.
He gets shot, and there's a net two deaths.
And to try and conflate that to someone premeditatedly going in and murdering people for their beliefs,
sorry about that, that's not the same thing.
Or even not for their beliefs.
If you just decide that you're going to kill a lot of people today and you go to a school or a mall or whatever,
that's a mass shooting.
They used to call it going postal.
Yeah, right?
ever that's a mass shooting they used to call it going postal yeah right and but if you decide that you're in a turf war over who sells drugs on this corner to a rival gang and you call that a mass
shooting then it's like no you're a criminal you're a gangster like like that's that's a tool
of the trade like like you're out there shooting people yeah i just like that you're not a mad man
who's unhinged and is trying to like change the world or effect or like in or
like like force his beliefs on everybody at the point of a gun you're just trying to sell a little
more crack and this guy wants your corner that's not a mass shooting that's that's gun crime sure
yeah yeah i'm not saying it's good crime like i think you guys know that i lean pretty left
obviously but i these days i guess i'm a little closer to the middle because the left moved the
gold post a long fucking time ago and i will let me just go ahead and say right here, right now,
that I am not the kind of person that will ever condone or agree that it's important to say that
Muslims are terrorists. I'll never say that and I won't condone it and I won't agree with it.
What I will say is that this terrorist was a fucking Muslim. And why are we afraid to say that?
Why are we afraid to say that this particular terrorist practiced the Muslim faith and called 911 before he did it and said that I'm doing this for ISIS and then hang up the fucking phone?
Why are we afraid to say that?
That is factual.
That is true.
That's the fucking truth.
And I'm never going to lean so far
fucking left that i refute the facts and that's what happened on reddit man i don't know if you
guys caught wind of that but you know the the first the very first uh uh uh article that that
our news pointed towards uh the the muslim faith of this particular person was censored and
continued to be censored because they don't want that to be part of the narrative.
But that's the facts of it, dude.
And I get that stupid people are then going to say that all Muslims are terrorists and
you don't want them saying that.
And you especially don't want them saying that because that can make the situation more
worse because it's inflammatory.
I get that.
But to not acknowledge that this particular terrorist was Muslim and did it because he misconstrued his religion's teachings is lunacy.
Just fucking lunacy, man.
You know, one of those leaders for ISIS has a PhD in religious studies.
Like, I think he knows, whenever they say that, like, oh, this is not the religion of Islam, you know, I'm like, who knows better?
Them or us? why are we like if it was
anything else you'd be like hey how dare you label what their religion is about you don't know but
they're like coming out and be like our religion is about crushing the infidel our religion is
about taking over and enforcing sharia law that's what our religion and we're like no it's not you're
not part of your own religion we know i have this have this. This might be ignorant to say, but bear with me.
I have in my head the idea that, like, Muslims are pro-terrorism is kind of like saying all cops are dirty.
It's not that all cops are dirty.
It's that too many cops aren't necessarily full-fledged against the dirty.
It's just a couple that are dirty and a larger – a couple that are dirty and a couple that are dirty,
a lot that are, of course, totally clean, and a whole
lot that just
aren't opposed enough
to the dirty. And with Muslims,
of course, there's only a couple who are terrorists,
right? And then there's
a couple who are like crazy anti-terrorists,
but a whole lot in the middle who are just like,
you know, I'm not part of ISIS, but I see their
point. And there's a lot of people... It's really telling when know, I'm not part of ISIS, but I see their point.
And there's a lot of people.
It's really telling when you see them answer those questionnaires about,
well, do you think that homosexuality is immoral?
Oh, yeah, 89% of us do in London.
Yeah, do you think it should be punishable by death? Well, only 70% of us do.
You know, like every one of those questions where in your heart you're like the opposite.
Like, well, how hard should you beat your wife?
Well, as hard as you want, 80% say it's like well hang on a minute i i totally agree
with you there in that like when people say oh you know christians which first of all to backtrack a
bit the hypocrisy of the left if it were a christian did this, that murdered 50 gay people in Orlando,
there wouldn't have been even a split second where they were like,
I don't know if we should release this, it's going to piss off a bunch of Christians.
No, there wouldn't have even been a thought about it.
It would have fit within their agenda and they would have pushed it immediately.
But this weird kind of, well, they're Muslims, so we've got to kind of backtrack,
make it about gun control.
Now that Muslims have beat out
gays on the hierarchy of victimhood,
we have to somehow act that these gays are
being hurt by gun control, instead of a
group that really thinks the way they live is deserving
of death, and obviously this group I'm
talking about isn't Muslims as a whole, it's
the people who are doing this, but
I think the problem here,
here in the United States,
like, I think the issue is all the Muslims that people It's the cleric in Orlando. changing in shenanigans and terrorism they're all just like these individuals here and if
you look at the way sharia law is implemented in those countries you can see that's patently
not the case they're still horrible to women in those countries still horrible to other
ethnic groups other religious sects in those countries and that's based on the religious
text of you know you believe what we believe or you will be roundly punished and to say that that's misconstruing their religion it's not just
it the only difference is I get it by you if you punished a gay person for
being gay as a Christian
technically you're following the Bible the only difference is that Christianity
went through an evolutionary stage where they kinda were like alright
this is bananas worse than you guys in it but we have to have doing
yeah new testament happens lately Islam hasn't gone through that transformational stage This is bananas. We're still going to believe this, but we can't be doing it. The New Testament happens.
Islam hasn't gone through that transformational stage to bring the religion to where it's like,
okay, we can all do what we want, we're going to live like this,
as long as we're not keeping women down, not beating them, not punishing people for being raped.
It's just a whole barrel of shit that no one wants to touch and pretend that it's a different problem entirely. It's a real issue.
And if you say this at all, people will immediately misconstrue what you say to either racism or saying that you're saying that everyone's like that.
And then you're back to the starting block because you can't argue against that because it's an emotional—
I think that all religions are bad.
They're all bad, and they all—the net effect is that all religions affect mankind poorly.
And I think that the Muslim religion is one of religions affect mankind poorly and i think that the
muslim religion is one of the absolute worst and most destructive of religions i think i think a
lot of fucking i think religion can be practiced well and i think it can be practiced kindly and
sanely and i do know people that do that but that that said, unfortunately, the power of religion allows bad people to use it as a shield to do bad things. And the Muslim religion, because of the text and
the teachings, a lot of which modern-day Muslims completely ignore the same way modern-day
Christians ignore the book of Leviticus. This is not something we believe. We believe the other
parts of this thing. You know, Those parts of it allow very bad people
to get people to do things that they want
in the name of their religion,
out of fear, out of control.
They can fucking use it to murder people.
They can use it to manipulate people.
They can use it to garner ridiculous amounts of monies
with these Christian fucking power churches,
these super churches.
Yeah, but that's...
Now, hang on a minute.
I don't like to use, so that's a product
of religion, but I don't think it's
a, I think it's
also a product of greed and
modern society. That's less
a downer on religion, like the mega
church. I think that's a lot of con men
doing their own thing, and you can see that.
If they weren't conning people in a church, they'd
be running a pyramid scheme or something
else. They'd be a confidence man of some kind.
Right, but then they'd have to pay taxes on that.
They're currently tax-free as long as they're a church.
I have a three-minute video I want to watch that's relevant to this.
Can we queue up at zero, please?
Yeah.
Is everybody ready?
Yes, I am.
Here we go.
Let me just center this on screen.
Ready, set, play.
If I learned one lesson from my time with the CIA, it is this.
Everybody believes they are the good guy.
Have you guys seen this already?
No.
Oh, good. I was an officer with the CIA clandestine service
and worked undercover on counterterrorism
and intelligence all around the world for almost 10 years.
The conversation that's going on in the United States right now
about ISIS and about the United States overseas
is more oversimplified than ever.
Ask most Americans whether ISIS poses an existential threat to
this country, and they'll say yes. That's where the conversation stops. If you're walking down
the street in Iraq or Syria and ask anybody why America dropped bombs, you get, they were waging
war on Islam. And you walk in America and you ask, why were we attacked on 9-11? And you get, they are waging war on Islam. And you walk in America and you ask, why were we attacked on 9-11?
And you get, they hate us because we're free.
Those are stories manufactured by a really small number of people on both sides
who amass a great deal of power and wealth by convincing the rest of us to keep killing each other.
I think the question we need to be asking as Americans examining our foreign policy
is whether or not we're pouring kerosene on a candle.
The only real way to disarm your enemy is to listen to him.
If you hear them out, if you're brave enough to really listen to their story,
you can see that more often than not,
they might have made some of the same choices.
It wasn't the firebombing in Hamburg, no, no.
And Al-Qaeda fighter made a brief during a debriefing.
He said all these movies that America makes,
like Independence Day and Hunger Games and Star Wars,
they're all about a small, scrappy band of rebels
who will do anything in their power with
the limited resources available to them to expel an outside technologically advanced invader.
And what you don't realize, he said, is that to us, to the rest of the world, you are the empire
and we are Luke and Han. You are the aliens and we are Will Smith. But the truth is when you talk
to the people who are really fighting on the ground,
on both sides, and ask them why they're there,
they answer with hopes for their children.
Specific policies that they think are cruel or unfair.
And the right to have a child sex slave.
While it may be easier to dismiss your enemy as evil,
hearing them out on policy concerns is actually an amazing thing.
Because as long as your enemy is a subhuman psychopath that's going to attack you no matter what you do, this never ends.
But if your enemy is a policy, however complicated, that we can work with.
Yeah, oh, totally right.
See, when they say, I should be able to beat my wife,
and she should be totally subservient to me,
and I should be able to cut off my daughter's clit,
and I should be able to do this, that, and the other,
kill someone for apostasy, leaving their religion,
we should say, tell me more.
No, that's ridiculous.
I don't want to hear more.
I don't want to hear more because we this
is more like why can't you just say this is really bad yeah we're doing bad
there's bad stuff on both sides of the aisle but to equate the two you know but
at the same time then you see like yeah you can see where they're coming from
some of them some of you can see how someone could be manipulated into
fighting absolutely but but but but when you hear about the atrocities and the evil and the greed that's really fueling ISIS,
because that's what it's about, it's about money, power, and sex,
these guys are conquerors. They're conquering territory, land.
It's an old-school kind of war that the United States hasn't fought for fucking generations.
They are conquering and taking.
They want these human sex slaves.
They're just going through towns, raping women, killing children.
Like, we've all seen the videos of them just lining other people up.
They crucify people, they burn them alive, they drown them.
I've watched them line people up and shoot them in the head.
And I mean a dozen of them at the time. So there's blood soaking the ground.
I've watched them cut dozens of people's heads off.
They're sawing them off. Now, this is propaganda, but it's their propaganda.
It's what they want us to know about them.
And it's not like all this stuff that we're talking about is coming from that one source.
There's dozens and dozens of news reports.
We read all the time about the Yazidi women, or I think that's how you pronounce it,
which is a sect of Christianity that's very small in that region of the world.
And they're just captured.
They're enslaved.
They're raped.
And if they don't do what they're told, they're murdered.
It's funny because I expected this video to make everyone kind of backtrack and say,
you know what?
Yeah, I guess we should listen.
After hearing you, I'm like, you know what?
I've seen those videos too.
Like they really do go into a town.
They really do like enslave and rape and just kill anyone who
might turn into a competitor or the bad guys down the road yeah and they really like okay like every
man who's of like fighting age who's not already on our team just gets shot in the back of the head
and i've seen it and it's it's like i am an internet veteran of gore and a horrible stuff. And I see like 18,
36 people where life is just completely removed from them with the bullet
bang,
bang,
bang,
bang to a lot of Muslims.
ISIS is also the bad guy.
They're also the shitty,
awful bad guy to a lot of them.
So to try this whole listen thing,
like,
yeah,
that sounds really sweet when you put the music behind it and you have her gently
talking to you as they selectively chose
the most attractive former agent. A lot of collagen
in there, not manipulative at all. I'm an idiot.
I bought a hook, line, and sinker. Oh, you just need
to listen. No, that hasn't, name one
war where that has worked. One war
where you win by listening. It would have worked
World War I would have went a better
if we'd all slowed down and listened. You know those guys
were all cousins? I didn't know that until I read it on Reddit.
Let me play devil's advocate for just a minute, if that's okay.
Yeah, go ahead, buddy.
Let him go.
There's a certain – okay.
I think – I want to say this very correctly because I feel like I'm going to get quoted on it at some point.
You're going to be misquoted.
Carry on.
I think there's a certain romantic ideal behind, you know, we could just talk to our enemy and that's going to be fine.
But with the atrocities that we've already committed in the Middle East and the atrocities that they've committed towards us,
I don't think talking is much of an option anymore.
I think that if you leave those people who we have grievously harmed by their perspective alone to themselves, they will still have generations and generations of animosity and they will fucking hate us.
Because the moment we set boots on the ground over there, we touched holy ground and they are fucking furious about it and you tell me for a second that if if an evading nation put boots on american
soil we forget about it in two generations three generations or we bomb them back the
fucking ice ages it's it's human nature i feel like we're not going to nuke them we let it slide
i totally agree with that yeah i it's like am i still mad at Japan a little I'm gonna be honest
I hey Japan I haven't forgotten all that like like not a hundred percent like I've forgiven
But I haven't forgotten like like if there's ever a little you know a little if you ever go a little bit too far the
other way Japan we could still turn right around on you I
Especially feel for the Muslims there who okie oh next don't
They're not complicit in these
actions, these awful
habits or whatever. They're not encouraging.
They don't want this to happen.
They're reasonable people.
Those people, I really, really understand them being
pissed and being like
God damn it. I didn't even fucking do anything.
I wouldn't say that.
I'm actually just living
I'm not talking about isis i'm just talking
about normal muslims over there who aren't complicit in those actions and who actively
the ones that are getting fucking murdered the ones who are standing up saying you shouldn't
be doing this like i can understand totally those families being like and imagine the fucking people
over there who disagree with the extremists because there's always going to be those people
in that nation and they get family members drafted.
If this guy doesn't fight for us, we will fucking murder him.
Give us your resources.
Give us your home.
Give us fucking shelter.
That's been going on in Africa for a generation.
Just imagine.
Sweeping in, chopping hands off.
And I'm a bleeding heart, man.
I'm always going to be a bleeding heart.
My heart goes out to those people.
But this is such a complicated fucking...
The solution isn't hugs, guys.
I mean...
Fanatics.
You can't negotiate with fanatics.
I don't think the solution is nuke it to glass either.
I think it probably lies somewhere in the middle.
But every time I see somebody say,
well, let's just hug them until it's better.
Man, I'm sorry.
It's not going to work.
They're not in a hugging mood. They're not in a it's not gonna work they're not in a hugging mood they're not in a hugging mood right now not after we've invaded
their fucking nation for the last 20 years and not in a hugging mood anymore okay and you can't
reason and just listen to someone who literally believes that is the word of god that is
dictating their actions they're not going to listen to you over that if they truly believe that they've already been sold what they need to be sold to continue to do i believe you're
not going to change that mind imagine that put yourself in those shoes and like i from you know
if i truly believe that i was a warrior of god and that there was a group of people out there who
were my god's enemies like nothing would stop me or no no no like you know we i wouldn't i wouldn't cower at a
at a civilian target or using a plane or an explosive or a weapon of any kind i'd do anything
if that's what i truly believe that that i'm gonna go be a holy warrior and my death will be glorious
and then i'm going to an afterlife where the creator of the universe is going to be like
nice one kyle nicely done you get the you get that planet now in in the universe is going to be like, nice one, Kyle. Nicely done. You get that
planet now and the universe.
If I believe that, nothing's going to stop
me and I'm not listening to any negotiations
from you. And if I can get one
more thing off my chest while we're talking about this
by the way, of course E3 was this last
weekend and we had that shooting
the day before E3
and all of these fucking
publications and you know who you are
I'm going to call someone by name Polygon
Verge you fuckers
start connecting that violence with video
game violence like Call of Duty
and Battlefield 1 and they're saying things like
E3 goes on as usual with all
the violent video games and expressions
of fucking violence you know
the day after this fucking mass
shooting if I could reach through the internet and slap the authors of those of fucking violence, you know, the day after this fucking mass shooting.
If I could reach through the Internet and slap the authors of those fucking articles,
I would have.
And if I meet you in person, I recommend you walk the other way because I'm not real fucking happy about your decision.
And I'll tell you, I won't ever touch you.
I would never hurt another person, but I'll tell you how much I didn't fucking like it.
And let me tell you something.
The reason I play violent video games is because I've experienced a lot of violence in my life. I've fucking seen it. I've experienced it. I felt
it. I play violent video games as an escape from this actually violent shithole we call a world,
dude. And that fake violence imitates real life, okay? Art imitates life. Life doesn't imitate art
very often. You know, that's why we
enjoy that, because we're a violent species
living in a violent world, and every once in a while
it feels good to forget
about the fucking miserable shit that's
happening in this place, get in a car,
and run over some fucking hookers in GTA.
It makes me feel a little bit better about
this nightmare we live in, okay?
I play violent video games sometimes.
You know what's even worse about those publications
is the fact that you
fucking know that they
didn't genuinely think that video games
cause terrorism. That was a
calculated smokescreen
which makes it infinitely more
malicious to take the attention
off of a group that was just
attacked. It was a hate crime.
It wasn't a smokescreen to me. It was just hate crime. It wasn't a smoke screen to me.
It was just a clickbait.
It was like, I can get people to go here.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't think they're trying to protect ISIS.
I think they're just trying to promote themselves.
I'll tell you those little fucking millennials working at some...
I mean, there's a lot of good people working at some of those publications,
and I'm not talking about you.
But I guarantee you some of these little millennials
believe that shit, hook, line, and sinker.
Well, the data is wrong. The research is wrong. You know, I don't like video games
They don't mean violence to me at all Like when I place when I if I kill someone in Call of Duty, I am NOT playing some sort of simulated war game
It does not connect. I'll dartboard to me. That's not a human being. That's that's a target that
fact that it's a
Human character is just part of the theme that we're playing right now in this little fantasy to me. That's not a human being. That's a target. The fact that it's a human character
is just part of the theme that we're playing right now in this little fantasy.
When I kill somebody with a knife in CSGO, it does not relate in any way with the time
my mother actually stabbed me in my brain. They do not connect in any possible way.
When we play Company of Heroes, I'm able to max out the settings on that game
on my current PC, although I'm playing at 1080p.
And I zoom all the way in
on my little models, my little guys.
And the character models are so accurate
that I'm like, shit, if I could have
seen that his eyes were blue, I wouldn't have sent him in
to fight those flamethrowers with just that
shotgun, you know? I'd have
upgraded him, given him a long gun. Like,
shit, that's Pete. He's got a mustache. And, you know, you see his trousers. him a long gun like shit that's a that's pete he's got a
mustache and you know yeah you can't do that you're getting too close to the action i like
to let the peons go forth and i zoom all the way out yeah yeah i'm not good at the game but i only
played meanwhile by the way just to say that the article the the writer at the verge is putting a
little article up and he's feeling so good about himself i'm helping the world i'm saving the world
meanwhile there's people at e3 wearing literally everybody everybody at E3, wearing a ribbon that day and
taking moments out of their shows to recognize the tragedy and recognize these people. And are
they saying anything negative? Are they shitting on anybody else's bed? No, they're literally just
thinking about those victims. They're not thinking about how many clicks their website's going to
get. They're not thinking about how much ad views they're going to get for their fucking articles.
And they don't think that they're pushing their agenda.
They're thinking, holy shit, this
sucks. Human lives were lost. Let's
recognize that. And who makes a...
Who's the better person there?
Just, you know, who's the better person?
Me, because I didn't think about it at all.
Which is what the response to terrorism
should be. Did you all read the second report
about the guy who got arrested
who was apparently heading toward LA Pride
with the guns and explosives? Yeah.
I never heard anything more about it. You haven't heard about that?
And you know, this may sound a little messed up,
but my first, my thought process
when I heard that, because I'd already seen the photograph
of the cast and crew from its, or the
cast from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia at Pride,
I was like, shit. They could have taken out
It's Always Sunny.
And then it really hit me hard.
Oh, Jesus.
That's when it was real to me.
Yeah, that made it very real.
Before, it was just strangers on the internet.
That sounds like, at first, kind of heartless,
but at the same time, it's like,
you don't care about people you don't know.
If I lost Danny DeVito, I would have a moment of silence.
Otherwise, it's just names. If there's a car accident in Guam or something, that really sucks but I don't care
because I don't know them. I have nothing to do with them in my life.
If the It's Always Sunny crew died, I would be sadder because it's like,
oh fuck. That ties into the Woody theory of the poorer they are less the less you care about them that's definitely true yeah danny devito holy fuck not him some guy in
guam he's rich who cares about it hey i have a new topic all right so check this out um there's
a time stamp in there at 49 seconds if you could pause there i'm trying to save people time. But to set it up, this guy...
I'm sorry?
49.
Yeah, it should take you there, I think.
So there's a house on fire,
and this guy takes his drone to it,
and he films the firemen doing their thing.
Are you ready?
Yeah.
All right, ready, set, play.
So for people just watching,
there it is, the drone. He's probably like
100 feet in the air, maybe. And the fireman
takes his hose.
Oh, he's been spotted.
And down goes the drone.
Wow.
What an asshole.
Who?
The firefighter a bit.
Okay. Yeah, those thingser a bit. Okay.
Yeah, those things are fucking expensive, dude.
I was really torn on it.
So the internet agreed that the drone pilot was a total dick,
that he shouldn't have been interfering and putting this fire out and stuff like that.
And I'm like, interfering?
To me, he looked like he was about 300 feet away.
Unless he was shooting flames from his fucking uh drone restarting the fire
every time to me he wasn't interfering any more than like someone across the street filming a cop
like let's not pretend he was interfering it part of me is like all right i get he's kind of a
douchebag there's like a noise that comes from those drones that they could probably have heard
but it's the kind of footage i would have liked to have gotten. You know, like, I don't know.
I just don't know what to think about it.
Like, I want to be that douchebag drone guy getting footage of firefighters doing their job.
But I also recognize how people might think he's a dick.
To be fair, you know how you see those videos of, like, a guy getting his ass beat in public
and you watch it and you're like, wow, what a douchebag kicking the shit out of that guy for no reason.
And then you see the whole video and there's a lot more that went into it.
Like we're not seeing what sort of,
you know,
blue angel shenanigans this guy was doing in and out of their sunroom,
you know,
as it's a blaze beforehand.
There wasn't any,
there wasn't any,
the beginning of that video is him taking off from the ground.
Yeah.
Well,
nevermind.
Yeah.
All he really did was observe from like a couple hundred feet away.
And they're noisy.
I don't know if you guys have heard a drone in that class.
I think it was a Phantom.
I'm not sure.
But you can hear it.
It sounds like a lawnmower almost.
Was this a practice fire or a real fire?
Real fire.
Oh, okay. The story was told as if it were a real fire? Real fire. Oh, okay.
The story was told as if it were a real fire.
I think so.
Okay, if it's a real fire, I thought it was a practice fire.
If it's a real fire, yeah, he's a fucker.
You think?
Yeah, a little bit.
I mean, you don't want to do anything to distract those guys because they're risking their lives.
But it was over, too, right?
And the guys are literally shooting the drone.
I mean, was it, though?
Because that guy, I mean, who knows what the structural damage is. This thing is still smoking. Who knows what the structural are literally shooting the drone with hoses. I mean, was it though? Because that guy I mean, who knows what the structural
damage is. This thing is still smoking.
Who knows what the structural damage is of the house.
That guy who is currently still using
a hose in there. I mean,
is it safe?
Do we know that it's safe?
He found some time to shoot a drone.
It was safe enough to target a drone instead of
waterlogging. Right, but that actually exactly makes my
point that clearly this distracted those firefighters,
at least that one firefighter, and getting distracted in that situation could mean their lives.
So, I mean, to some extent, yeah, it's kind of a dick move.
I think both people here are being kind of dicks, obviously.
But I think it's kind of a dick move to fly over that thing at all.
I didn't think it was loud.
The only drone I've ever flown was very quiet.
I don't think that firefighters should get to act like professional golfers and need total
silence to do their job you know and i don't think professional golfers should be able to do that if
they're really pros they should be able to deal with a little bit of heckling a little bit of
cheering maybe the answer for both sides job that is a golfer no it'm obviously not comparing those two. It's the same. Maybe the answer for both sides is for the firefighters,
keep the drone a little further away.
And for the drone, keep it out of hose distance.
Or, you know, rule one of firefighting, keep your eye on the fry.
Don't be looking around at drones and futzing about with your little,
you know, tiny tub of water that you still have
left because it doesn't look like they had a ton but yeah that i can i do if i'm being totally
honest it is pretty douchey to go fly for no other reason not douchey to the guys who are putting the
fire out but really douchey to the guy who's standing by while his house is burning and some
guys like i'm gonna upload this and get some ad senseense. It's like, oh. Yeah, that's, I just, it's funny because a lot of times I see like this anti-drone stuff.
And I agree.
The only thing is, I also want to be the dick with the controller in his hand.
Like, yeah, you're flying it over other people's houses.
You're such an ass.
You're invading their privacy.
Meanwhile, I've got 12 videos up that do that.
And it's
from far away. It's 400 feet in the air
and whatever. I'm not spying on neighbors or
anything. I'm sort of showing
shucks about what Google Maps might show.
None of the houses were blazed.
I have a video.
You have a video to watch?
Yes. Another video?
What do we got? Oh no gliding crap oh i love these
it's three minutes do you want to start from the beginning yeah let's start from the beginning we
don't have to watch it all let's you know get a minute or two of this in do we to call it
uh sure all right it queued up at zero three two one play 3, 2, 1, play.
Oh, no.
Oh, yikes.
It's windy up there.
Oh, it's windy.
That's a lot of cloud suck.
That's reverse cloud suck.
That's reverse cloud suck. It blows you down.
My mom watches this video, you know.
You're going to scare her to death.
You should be aware of the wrist and palm,
Woody.
He does a loop-de-loop.
I can't listen to this music
where it's exactly from the
omen where they find out that Damien's
the Antichrist.
I'm going to turn the music way down.
I appreciate you saying that.
It's the same crash again and again and again.
My God!
Stop breaking it up and writing things in the middle.
Just show us the guy falling.
But I do like that it's from the first person.
Apparently this person wrote this.
He's like, I'm falling.
This happens to me.
That happens to me. Oh, it's that guy that guy who wrote it well now i know he lives and it's
right he lives yeah yeah spoiler alert he lives but yeah there's another channel that's devoted
to diagnosing what went wrong and how to fix it and i watched did you like all these crashes
you know they're like well at this point you know, he exacerbated the problem.
And, like, the glider was turning right and he was slipping and he pulled the right brake and made it that much worse.
And then this happened and that happened.
I would love to make a channel like that where I just look at people crashing and I'm like, oh, here's the problem.
He should have bought a Delta ticket on Expedia instead of strapping a Home Depot area cleaning fan to his back and jumping off a hill.
That's the crux of the matter.
But, yeah, this is scary.
This is a scary hobby.
So I have some comments on this.
These are paragliders, not paramotors.
And they tend to fly in much worse conditions because they're looking for, like,
in a condition where a paramotor pilot might say, you know what?
It's a mess up there.
I'm not interested.
A paraglider would say, oh, there's tons of thermals and turbulence and stuff.
I can catch my lift forever.
Right?
So they fly in stuff that if you have your own power source, you would skip.
They also have wings that are more prone to collapsing because they need to extract this crazy performance out of them.
Whereas a paramotor pilot, like I aspire to be,
is more just putting around low and slow.
Yeah, I would prefer to do the low and slow
putting around approach than what this guy was doing.
He didn't even do anything wrong, it looked like.
It looked like he was just there
and then suddenly Mother Earth was like,
nope, no, you shouldn't be up here. And they and they just quick little gust and he's in deep trouble this
and i'll just i i'll just be frank i'll physically i'll never be able to do anything like that but if
i could there's no fucking way you people you people are fucking crazy to do that shit so the
way i look at it is like so you're're only going to live once. That one life will be much shorter.
That's okay with me, though, because I'll never know it.
So the way I look at life is that the moments in life that I really enjoy, that I love, are the exhilarating ones.
The scary ones, the ones with lots of adrenaline in them.
That's what I really do live for.
I'm waiting for the next one of those, and until then, it's just me
waiting, you know, and doing my normal thing and what it takes to, like, run a human body
and keep that human body moving and pay taxes and, you know, keep Netflix rolling along
and all that shit. But I'm really waiting on the next exhilarating moment. So, I don't
know, this guy's got a backpack that makes exhilarating moments. I'm into it.
They say that the human brain, like, if your life is locked into a routine and you're doing the same shit all the time, your brain doesn't create memories.
And it's only when you break that routine and do really weird and unique shit, seeing a new place, going to a new place, making love to somebody new, trying a new dangerous food, doing something dangerous and weird.
That's when you create new memories and create – it actually extends your life by doing that kind of shit. Let me tell you something, it could short it pretty fucking quick too.
So... I'm okay with that though. Like, like, like, I don't know why everyone wants to live these big long lives.
First of all, when you die, you're just fucking dead. You don't know that you lived a short, meaningless life.
You said you believed in ghosts two hours ago!
I did not say that! I said that I won't close the door. I won't even close the door on gargoyles.
Just stop closing the door on things.
You're just hoping that you're that one ghost.
Oh, I'd love to come back.
He was the ghost.
No, he was a ghost the whole time.
Where'd Kyle go?
He's going to grab a gun or something.
He's going to come back with a flamethrower.
We're all dead.
I'm a ghost now.
Or he has a Ghostbusters suit that he wears for flame retardant material.
Hey, how about the new Ghostbusters?
I want to hear you guys yell about that.
Go.
Oh, my God.
I couldn't hate it more.
It is such bullshit.
I didn't even watch the trailer.
Oh, there are four unlikable women as the new stars,
and they screech and whatever.
And you can see there's supposed to be parallels between them
and the original four guys,
and they just take each one of them and make them worse in their own way like
winston if you don't remember was like the black guy he didn't have any like special training or
whatever became a valuable member of the team the black woman equivalent is just this like screeching
caricature of a worthless helper like kind of scared all the time i the new ghostbusters is just i okay so imagine imagine
this cast this i tweeted this out i guess uh march 2015 imagine if this was the cast okay
tina fey as your parallel to bill murray uh amy poehler as your parallel to Egon. Maya Rudolph as your parallel to, what's his name, Winston, right?
Okay.
And Aubrey Plaza as your parallel to Bill Murray.
What do you think about that?
Not Bill Murray, but fuck, who am I missing?
Sorry, my brain.
I got so confused.
But Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, and Aubrey Plaza.
What if that was your female Ghostbusters team?
I don't think it's about the cast as much.
I think that, first of all, it's destined to fail
because no matter how, even if it's fucking great,
it won't hold up to the original Ghostbusters.
I mean, let's just be frank.
No matter what they did, a new Ghostbusters movie
not starring the original four is going to fail.
That's how it is.
My hunch, and I haven't looked into it at all but it seems like when they do these just identity
swap movies they really don't give you much substantive difference they just hope that it
will be carried by virtue of the fact is like hey look at this instead of four dicks we have four
vaginas doing similar less funny things and they're not as likable and uh we're not pandering
hard enough to something?
I made you get all the Gus Dresses trade. I wanted to do that.
I'll tell you another thing I don't like about art.
So first of all, it's a classic. It shouldn't have been remade.
No point in remaking that. Let's make
Saving Private Ryan and fucking
Schindler's List next year too
while we're at it. It was a fucking classic.
It was a comedy classic though. It wasn't a
drama and it wasn't an action movie about
World War II. It was a comedy classic.
Shouldn't have been remade.
I don't mind at all that it's women. You could
recast it however you want, but do it well.
At least find the equivalent
actors of today. They didn't do that.
And that black woman is just a stereotype,
a caricature of a black woman,
and that's not what Ernie Els or whatever his name
was. That's a golf player.
Ernie Hudson. Ernie Hudson.
Ernie Els is the golf player.
But Ernie Hudson played the black man in Ghostbusters,
and he was your everyday kind of man.
His purpose in that movie was our go-between from these other three eggheads
and the audience, the rest of us are just regular folk who aren't parapsychologists.
This is so that Egon can communicate his ideas to us while he explains them to winston that's why is there
he's just a regular guy like this she is weird
this black on this new is that
and i'll be a part of the chat in she's just a caricature of a black person she
brings nothing to the movie
so madness
you say i have the same for girls but
here's the premise instead instead of being a reboot
here's the premise we we open of it being a reboot, here's the premise.
We open up with the original Ghostbusters, okay?
The three of them, and they all look older. They're all a little fatter.
They're at that stage they were at the beginning of Ghostbusters 2
where most of the ghosts really aren't around anymore.
There's no gust busting left to do.
They're living off of their savings.
And the child of Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver in the second movie, that kid has grown up.
So he is, you know, trying to go to school, go to college, but he can't outlive the Ghostbusters legacy, right?
So he decides that, you know, once the ghosts start appearing, there's a call.
The parents, the fathers can't do it.
So you have now that son of Bill Murray putting back together the agency and the agency he puts
together. He doesn't want to be a Ghostbusters, but he's willing to run it. So he puts together
this agency with the original, these four girls that he hires. And then it's a brand new movie
with a brand new plot and they can be whoever the hell they want to be. They can write brand
new characters. And then you still have the original cast in there, I mean obviously
you're going to have to, you can even have Egon
come back as a ghost, how incredible
would that be to have this brief moment
in which Egon's ghost just
appears for a few seconds, like a CGI Egon
because he's dead in our world and he's dead in their
world too, and like they could have
made this beautiful homage
right, and it could have
been this beautiful homage to the franchise we loved, and it could have been this beautiful homage the franchise
loved, and we would have all
loved that, but to remake it
just shits on it. What I just said was
funnier than that whole fucking movie they're making.
It's going to be shit, and it's going to fail, and all
the feminists are going to be like, oh, it's because
of the cis males hating
on... Did you see...
Can we watch a video? Can you...
Because you put these in the podcast right
yeah uh could you put a jimmy kimmel podcast uh uh clip in there because if not i'll just talk
about it i don't know i don't even even find it but it's the ghostbusters cast and they they call
everyone that doesn't like their movie 40 year old neckbeards living with their parents and
they're angry because they're like
sexist and shitty
wait a minute I don't live with my parents
neither do I right
I am 40 so you got that right
but like
I couldn't believe that
why are you antagonizing me
why would you antagonize me
I'm eager to try to like the movie
I'm willing to see it. You know I I I you know, but now I'm not once you start shitting on me
the only person the only reason that you could not like them is if you're a
Misogynist or you're a racist or you're a homophobe or you're a bigot
That's the only reason they can imagine why you wouldn't like what they were doing
It couldn't be that you just don't find it to be entertaining.
You find it to be a rip-off.
You find it to be exploitative.
You find it to be...
Meanwhile, I own fucking Spy on DVD.
I mean, it's on Blu-ray.
Yeah, because that movie is funny.
Right.
That's a real funny movie.
But the thing about it is, like,
the reason they do that, like, preemptive,
sexist, racist, misogynist, whatever,
is because they know on a certain level that the product, the content itself,
cannot stand up to the original.
It doesn't stand a chance, and none of those actresses are so stupid
that they think it will, so they have to preempt it
and pull that victim card out of the wallet again,
that well-worn and much-in-need-of-replacement victim card,
and play that.
So it's, aha, I knew you would hate it,
so it's not as though the movie sucks.
I called it.
You know, I love doing PK
for the simple reason that I get
to hear some shit I don't hear from nobody else I know
or talk to.
It's called common sense, Boogie.
And the other thing is, you pull some stuff out of me
that out of any other context
other than talking to you guys, I would never fucking say.
You get the shit out of my brain that I just like is all the way in the back and there's just like this gnarly shitty dark part of my brain the fucking dungeon of torture and
hair.
You know what I don't fucking like those brown skin.
You know whatever I don't know whatever crazy shit you make me say I don't even think I
mean the brownies.
I'm like do I mean that? Holy what is wrong with me me we have a Howard Stern like effect please
tell us more about your VR porn I talk about that all the time actually I'm
trying to get people into VR and the best way to get people to VR is tell
them what a great jerk-off experience it is you know the tell me about why how
that was gonna be used for so long.

boogie did you say you had to go and live stream now? Yes, sir. I got to go get ready for my live stream on twitch.tv slash boogie2988.
I stream five nights a week.
If you guys ever want to come and watch me yell over Overwatch gameplay,
y'all don't come watch me.
I was going to ask what you're streaming.
All right.
Very cool.
Watching Overwatch and say it again slower, boogie2988.
Twitch.tv slash boogie2988.
And that's the same for my YouTube,
which is boogie2988.
I've got a gameplay channel,
which I've been working on for about a year,
and we've got about 250,000 subs now,
and I'm pretty proud of that.
I've been doing some Overwatch gameplay in Hearthstone.
That's BoogiePlaysGames here on YouTube,
and it's just kind of an outlet
because I've always wanted to do gameplay,
and I do a lot of gaming,
Ransom Gaming News and stuff over there as well.
Just stuff that wouldn't fit on the main channel as well.
That's pretty much all I'm doing these days, just those three things.
He's got great stuff.
It's always a pleasure having you on.
Thanks for having me, man. I love it. I love talking to you guys.
We'll do it again in a few months, I guarantee.
I love it. Thank you so much.
Thank you, guys. Bye.
All right, this is a perfect time to transition to Game of Thrones talk because, as we all know, Boogie does not watch Game of Thrones.
We spoke during PKN about some of it, but where did we leave off?
Because there was one part I remember that we were saving for PKN.
I just don't recall.
Let's see.
You know, I always get fuzzy with the previous episode.
So we talked about the uh
the hound and uh all his doings uh we talked about cersei and the mountain we talked about
aria's plot line finally advancing and you know her her we talked a lot about her um coming to
the realization that she's not going to be a faceless man or girl or whatever that she's
aria stark of Winterfell.
I don't remember.
What else was there in that episode?
We disagreed on the Arya thing as to whether or not all along...
I think we came together.
Oh, really?
Yeah, yeah.
At first, I saw it a different way,
but when I thought about it,
the disagreement was whether or not Arya was always planning on
turning away once she got her training
and being Arya Stark of Winterfell.
And at first I thought that yes, that was the case.
But the more I thought about it, no, she really was
committed to this thing. She made her
decision that she didn't want to be a faceless man
when she realized that they were very morally
ambiguous. That if someone
hires them to kill a person, it could be the
fairy godmother. You go poison the
fairy godmother because the
many-faced god is the promised.
They're like, she paid the price.
And you're like, wait.
Up until then, paid the price
always seemed like kind of a
it's the right thing to do.
It was left a little tricky.
You didn't know why these people were being killed, but my
assumption had always been that they were bad.
Now you realize
looking back at
seasons ago when Jak and Hagar
first comes across Arya
we're in that I guess we're in that Lannister camp
where the original mountain was
he's in that mobile prison
yeah that mobile prison
looking back at the time you're like man this guy
is fucking dope he's awesome he just killed
that guard he just killed that dude.
Killed all these people for us so they could all escape.
And looking back now after seeing the kind of people he kills and for the reasons that he does it, it's kind of like, fuck, this guy is just kind of a mentally deranged murderer who brutally killed just random guards that happened to be standing around.
Well, he was locked in a cage when we found him.
And they were like, stay away from that one.
And he was locked in there.
Keep in mind, you don't really think about it.
With fighter and hog? Yes.
He's literally locked in there with these two
beasts of men, like physically
deformed, barely even fucking human. But here's this
good-looking, handsome man with the long
hair. What would a girl...
A man grows thirsty.
You know, over there. And you're like a girl looks like
she's interested in high quality knives
repayments a month a girl can have many knives a girl has used ginsu yes
all right no but it makes sense now this guy's a monster too they're not great people and the
many-faced god himself is a...
Now, one thing I didn't get that she was getting as much training as you guys figured out.
In my head, she was just washing dishes, sweeping floors, and cleaning bodies this whole time.
And occasionally...
Hold on.
Let me finish my thought.
And occasionally getting her butt kicked because that's all they ever showed.
If she's gathering tons of wonderful
training they never put it together like they never showed you this was the hand-to-hand combat
this was the equivalent of luke skywalker going to like dagobah and hanging out with yoda for a
few weeks and like standing on his head and lifting rocks and stuff that's what she was
doing there there was a lot of like wax on wax off of course that was just bullshit well although in the karate kid you know it was a whole move but there was a lot of like
drudgery that i feel like was about getting her her head right and her focus right but then that
whole time she was blind i don't know how much time passed in real life but i imagine it was
three to five months something like that that she was blind and not only became a competent blind
person but a blind warrior who can almost beat the blonde chick now of course the blonde chick
beat her terribly because she was blind so what happened in that last scene of course she cuts
the candle it's lights out and she kills the blonde chick so that that was her using of the
training that she had she had acquired and you know the talent chick. So that was her using the training that she had acquired and, you know, the talent.
That's the main thing.
I think you might be right about the darkness thing.
I know that Circio also trained her, you know,
also trained her, like, blindfolded.
So in my head, that was it.
But you might be right about that.
Yeah, she wasn't blindfolded for six months.
That's true, that's true.
She had to live as a blind person.
Like, my understanding was, like, that blonde girl would have beat her pretty easily in any kind of fight
the only reason she was able to win is because she had her sword and because she more recently
was blind like it probably was years and years and years ago that the blonde girl was blind
i just feel like they didn't show all this other training that we've made assumptions about like
well they never do they don't they don't show training montages and stuff.
We never get that. I mean, they sure showed
her lots of training and improvement with
the S dude. Sergio?
Sergio? Sirio. Sirio.
I'll never get it. But yeah, with
Sirio, they definitely showed how she was
improving, how she was being trained, how
she went from beating to being
competent and better. And he
was really turning her into something, right?
In the house of the many-faced gods or whatever it is.
Yeah, they just never showed her doing anything useful.
I thought that because she's being trained to be an assassin, for one thing.
So a lot of the things she's learning aren't necessarily karate moves or kicks or things like that.
How long did she spend getting beaten while she learned to be the most pathological liar ever
so that she can lie to this guy who's like a human lie detector while he smacks her with his stick?
Remember when the girl comes in and is smacking her around, making her play the game?
They're always playing the game.
She said something like, I didn't know we were still playing. He's like, we're always playing the game and and they're like she said something
like um i didn't know we were still playing and he's like we're always playing the game i don't
remember in the book her getting trained either like there's no mention of her ever getting any
training ass kicking yes and the ass kickings as i was watching them always seemed like
i'm going to try to make you quit before I try to train you.
You know, like this is sort of the boot camp where we weed out all the bad people.
And it's not necessarily part of the training, though.
You know, I get that.
And boot camp wasn't a perfect analogy because they do train there. But I feel like, yeah, it was always like, I want you to quit.
I want you to quit.
I want you to quit.
I want you to quit.
And if she survives all these attempts to make her quit, then the training starts.
It's always how it played out in my head.
You say off camera they're training her too.
I think that it is heavily implied and it is my 100% belief that they are telling the audience
and that I believe that she's a complete ninja at this point, right?
She's proficient in two or three martial arts.
She's an assassin.
She can conceal her identity.
She's a pathological liar.
She lived as a man for a couple of years, convincingly.
She's killed dozens of people ruthlessly,
sometimes using skills, sometimes using sneakery,
sometimes gouging eyes out, cutting throats left and right.
Maria has not killed dozens of people.
I don't know.
I remember her cutting guards' throats and the boys she stabbed through the belly.
How many has she killed at this point?
Has she killed a guy or two in the chicken scene?
Every now and then she'll just have to stat.
Okay, maybe so.
She killed the high singles.
Yeah, low doubles, high singles.
She's taking credit for the hound i mean i she she could have killed him well now she's not as happy about that you know
doesn't want to take credit for it as much i don't think i like that i like that about her
and is like fuck like i really wanted to kill him but god damn it i would have died 10 times over if
it weren't for him in the end and she admitted that she had already taken him off the list i thought that was a cool scene when she admits that she had
taken off this mentally the other thing is it the man with no name i don't know if he's got another
jack in the car yeah thank you jack in the car um it kind of seemed like he knew all along she
probably wasn't gonna stick with this and he was kind of cool with it all along yeah it my what i take
from that he never liked that blonde girl she's been a try hard from day one all up his ass all
up his ass just always just washing the bodies a little too much or whatever like getting too
enthusiastic about the killing i feel like he does the bidding of the many-faced god because he's a
true believer and the blonde does it because she's a mean nasty person who likes killing and he knew that and he also knew that that aria is a good person and he
could feel that so when she told him i'm aureus store of wit if i and i'm going home he's just
like yeah that's just as good as you staying all right i got that vibe to say that though i didn't
have to as much he said now you are truly no one where it's like
ah that doesn't make any fucking sense
at all it's literally the opposite I
thought he said that no I thought he
said now you're truly no one and she
said I'm Arya Stark of Winterfell I
thought that's what she says but to but
he clearly was trying to like he she
basically walked behind the curtain for the wizard
of oz yeah yeah yeah she walked behind the curtain for the wizard of oz and basically he having been
you know you know the king is naked the emperor has no clothes turned and was like aha this was
the final test you got it like no like when he said now you are truly no one i interpret it as
i accept you yeah you just beat that chick welcome level two yeah yeah like this is the
first test you've actually passed and she's like you know what how hardcore is it that the face was
just up there yeah like like like like know, you kind of gloss over that
because you're trying to follow the story
and like, oh, what comes next?
And you forget that there's a face up there,
but Arya killed that blonde chick in that dark room,
gathered herself after the beating, stabbing,
and the falling down that huge flight of stairs,
and then skinned her face.
Is that how that happens?
Yeah.
I always thought it was more mystical.
No, she cut the bitch's face off and then carried it all
the way across town, stuck it up
there, and then sat around for an
indeterminate amount of time for Jack and her guard
to just find the black trail.
I don't know.
No, I was just
talking about the actual cutting
of the face off because I'm thinking like it would
not be like if
you just came upon dead bodies
where you're like oh my god my uncle
just showed up faceless it's like oh
well you can expect to see him again
there's a band of people who have been stealing faces
for hundreds of years are you an idiot like
so it's got to be some kind of magic I think
no he totally cut that
face off that's a face they cut off and preserve
and stick up there on that wall there was blood
you could see the blood. There was blood.
I still thought it was mystical
somehow. I'm not sure. If it was mystical,
they wouldn't be washing those bodies down and getting them nice and
clean. So... Oh, that's true.
So, the Cersei plotline, it progressed
a little bit. Trial by Combat is
over. Cleganebowl is probably
off. The
battle... That was my spoiler.
The battle at the Winterfellfell is coming i think next episode
here's i don't think these are spoilers um next episode i'm pretty sure you're getting the big
battle at winterfell i bet it takes up three quarters of the episode if not more and it's an
extra extra long episode one of the top i think it's top six longest ever um and so is the 10th
episode 10th episode um i think we get that character that we all three here know about.
Now, I've heard that that...
We can say the code word, right?
You think that's a bad idea?
Yeah, I think so. I think we can say that.
I've heard that Stoneheart is not going to happen
because the people behind the show said it wasn't going to happen.
That would be very disappointing.
But, of course, they would lie about that, too.
I mean, last season they're like,
oh, who knows if John's coming back?
Tee hee hee.
That is true.
They would be mad.
I hid from information so much that I still didn't know.
I made sure that I didn't know.
I knew that they were...
I bet there were pictures of Kit Harington on set
like six months before the fucking show came out.
I hid from that
stuff i didn't know the whole time he's laying there i'm like 80 sure he's coming back 80 you
knew from the books though like the content includes um i haven't read that far i yeah he's
actually only did like three and a half books like it's easy to forget that no four and a half right
is it four well yeah okay i'll tell you what though the fifth one is like two books it's it was so long yeah and not that i can ever saw it i'm like yeah it's like 50 hours
an extra several hundred kilobytes more dude so the books like the first one's like 37 hours and
you're like wow this is a long book and then the next one is like 47 and then like it by the end
they're almost 60 hours long and you're like like, dude, that is so much more.
The shortest one's in the high 20s.
And the longest one's in the high 50s.
And it's like, that's two books.
That's two books.
You can always tell with authors where they think it's going to be a certain amount of length in their series.
And it's way more.
Because it'll be like book one, 350 pages.
Book two, 500 pages.
Book three, 800 pages, and it's like,
you're not holding us into thinking this is a trilogy
anymore. I like long books, though.
Like, I want it to be
800 pages. If it's 500, I don't know
if I'm getting anywhere. I want 800, 1200 pages.
Okay.
So, Chiz linked me to this thing.
It's a bit of a game
you can play.
And so it's got a lot of the main characters.
Bastard Bull or something.
And the question is, who's going to die and who's going to live in the next episode?
Who's going to survive the next episode and who won't?
Episode 9?
Yeah.
I'm trying to find it here.
Let's see.
Are you on Sporkle?
You don't want to do this, Woody?
No, I want to try and answer this.
Look, I think everyone likes it but me, so don't let me stop it.
All right.
Let's see here.
I feel like outside of the first couple characters, I fuck all the names up.
I'm like, you know, who's Sir Trombone again?
Like, is he the white guy with the beard?
I don't know.
Is it the old grizzled white guy?
Is it the sad looking woman?
Right, right.
Yeah, please.
Hire some fucking, get some more redheads or something.
It's that kid whose parent died.
Yeah, this...
I can't fucking find this thing.
The one that wears the armor.
So, yeah, Kyle will find it, I'm sure.
What was I going to say?
What else happened in the last episode?
So there was...
That wasn't...
It was two episodes ago
where Sansa gathered her tiny army, right?
Yes, that was when she went to Bear Island, I guess.
Oh, you had Tyrion.
So Tyrion had that fun little talk
with Missandri and Grey Worm.
Daenerys returned.
That was like the very end of the episode.
And it was a pretty badass scene.
So most of the time I see
Daenerys. Am I pronouncing the name right? Daenerys?
Daenerys. Most of the time I see
Daenerys. I'm
not in love with the scene. Something about her
as an actress lacks a certain
gravitas. I've been a Daenerys
hater for a long time, I think.
But not this last one.
The slave masters
come back.
They're bombarding the town.
There's like fire popping up everywhere.
They're having major problems.
Tyrion and Grey Worm have this conversation.
Grey Worm's like, look, you are not giving the battle rules here.
I am the soldier.
You're talking got us in enough trouble already.
You were going to pay attention to me.
And he's like, all right, so what do you want to do? We're going to hole up in this pyramid thing and defend it because it's defensible we're not going out there they're going to kill us
and it's like holy smokes this town's getting overrun they have major problems they are totally
screwed this is a big deal and daenerys shows up and she's like walk first you hear this like
and and no one i thought we were being bombed by the mast.
I knew immediately what it was.
Did you? I didn't.
I heard the thumping and I'm like, well, all right, about to go down.
They're about to have to defend this pyramid thing.
And then Daenerys just like walks in.
And in the background, you can see the dragon is headed towards the ships that are attacking.
And it's just like, oh, yeah yeah daenerys has some flipping value again first time in ages and i think it's
hilarious about daenerys is that she gets to co-opt so much credit for those dragons doing
all the work so it would be like me if i got in the ufc and they put me up against joe lozon but i got to bring my pet
pit bull in the ring with me i just i just stay at him all this big pit bull kills joe lozon and
everyone's like wow taylor's such a great fighter like he just he just told that dog to kill him
and he did.
It's silly.
I shouldn't get credit for that.
The father of pit bulls.
Father of pit bulls. The breaker of chains.
The breaker of collarbones.
The unscathed.
The killer of Lozan.
No way champion.
But that's really what I feel like it is.
It's like no one would care about this chick if she didn't have direct.
When I looked at this list, I, of course, didn't know all of these people,
so I refreshed myself a little.
1-1 is the giant, okay?
Tormund Giantsbane is the red-haired wildling guy.
Small John Umber, I Googled him, and I looked at a picture of him.
That might help you, but I still don't recall exactly what he's up to.
What are these questions?
Are you going to ask who is...
Yes, no on who dies.
Will the character die?
Yes means he dies.
The question is, will the character die?
So...
Shit.
Alright, so let me take a stab at this.
So, Brienne of Tarth, I think that she
will survive the next episode. so that's a no.
I think Davos Seaworth
will die in the next
episode. That's a yes.
Edison Tollett, let me look him up
real quick because I don't know who that is.
Edison Tollett.
I'm going to say
Brienne
lives next episode.
I'm going to say Davos lives next episode. I'm going to say Davos lives next episode.
I'm going to say
Edison.
Who's Edison? I have no idea. Edison is now
the Lord Commander. He's Jon Snow's buddy that he
put in command before he left. Oh, okay.
Yeah, he'll live, probably. Yeah, I agree.
Goat is on borrowed time
because he's the last one of those dogs and they don't
seem to be doing too well.
I say he lives. Karstark, he's going to one of those dogs and they don't seem to be doing too well.
I say yes.
Karstark, he's going to die.
Who's that?
He is the guy who Sansa and Jon went up to
him and were like,
we need troops.
That wasn't even the Karstarks. That was the Glovers.
The Karstarks are the ones who handed over
Rickon to Ramsay. Oh, are you sure it was the Karstarks? I thought who handed over Rickon to Ramsay.
Oh, are you sure it was the Karstarks?
I thought it was a different family.
There's like four...
That's my issue with this list.
That was the Karstarks.
Do you think soldier number two is going to die?
And I'm like, let's just Google this guy, Harold Karstark.
I'm positive he's the one who handed off Rickon to Ramsay.
Because he goes...
You're absolutely right.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So he's going to die. He's a real who handed off Rickon to Ramsay. Because he goes... You're absolutely right. Yeah.
Yeah.
So he's gonna die.
He's a real piece of shit.
Yeah, I say he dies.
Maybe that's wishful thinking.
Jon Snow lives.
Littlefinger lives.
Lyanna Mormont.
Lyanna Mormont?
I think that's the little girl.
She lives.
Melisandre.
We haven't seen her in a hot second she might have already died of old age
i say that she might she might give her life to save someone because we all know that that's
possible in this uh in this universe so i'm gonna say that uh she dies um podrick podrick's gotta
live i'd feel shitty if podrick died is this nick is this just next episode we're talking about yes
just in the next episode yeah ramsey i i guess Ramsey's going down in the next episode.
I'm going to say he's done.
Rick and Stark, shit, that's a hard one.
I say Rick and dies.
I think Rick and dies.
I don't think Rick is going to die,
but I do think that Podrick and Brienne are in their last season.
Oh, shit.
I think they're both done. Damn, really? season. I think they're both done.
Damn, really?
I think they're done.
That would be rough if that's true. Sansa is next.
She lives. Then Smalljohn
and Umber. I say that
I say Smalljohn
dies. Why not?
And then Tormund's got to live.
1-1's
probably going to die, right?
Because he's the last of his kind below the wall anyway.
And he's come down so far.
I think 1-1 might give his life.
I'm going to say he's dead too.
Is 1-1 the giant?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, he's going to have to die.
Because it would almost be equally sad if he lived.
I only know about two-thirds of these people.
I only care about one-third of them.
I'm a huge 1-1 fan.
Yeah, actually, I think 1-1's going to die
because I feel like he leads this tribe.
I'm almost positive the next episode is going to have a lot
devoted to this battle of Ramsey versus Sansa,
and in that, 1-1's going to die.
He'll take a lot of people with him.
Most people won't even be in the show, so that's a thing.
And most of the people, like Rickon Stark,
we've barely seen him in the last eight years.
But he's in the castle.
Yeah, yeah, right.
So he's in play, I'll admit that.
These are all the people who are in play.
These are the ones who will be there,
by the way the show is set.
You think they're all in play?
I guess so.
Yeah, yeah, it's not a spoiler to say that.
They just are.
Those are the ones who are in play. Like Arya's not on this list because she's not
part of this battle.
I agree with what you're saying here.
I don't even know, though. That's
my issue with this thing. Maybe I'm the only one
who feels this way, but I'm like...
You don't like Davos Seaworth?
The guy who's missing the fingers? Yeah, sure, sure.
I really like that.
Do you like him? I like him a lot i feel like
he's got a lot of character um i don't know what it is ago i feel like this year he's had 30 lines
davis is one of the few good people in the show who like no matter what happens he always seems
to be the guy to be like well i hate to be the bearer of bad news my lord but everything seems
to be going to shit and so this is the last time. It didn't work out.
And so I apologize, but I have to say it.
And everyone's like, oh, you didn't.
You fucker.
Fuck you, Japs.
What about Steve Love being on that episode?
You didn't even notice that.
I did not notice that.
I didn't either.
They showed it to me.
I forget if it was the subreddit or my Twitter.
So Steve Love, who we had on the show a couple years ago,
I had found his impressions, and I really loved him.
He does Game of Thrones impressions and other impressions too.
He's got a pretty good Joe Pesci,
but he has all the Game of Thrones characters really well,
and I'm sure through that he got into last night's episode
or last week's episode.
He's the one where they checked his oil, right?
They stuck a thumb up his butt.
Yeah.
His mom must be proud Great episode
That made me a little bit excited at first
To see him and then immediately after
Sad where I was like hey that guy was on PKA
And I'm like oh now he's on Game of Thrones
I'm never going to be on Game of Thrones
I can't imitate
Sad poor people from a fictional world like that guy can.
I bet you could.
I might just do horrible old people voices.
It's like, why does that Game of Thrones character sound like Bane and carry a coffee cup around?
I don't know.
It's just his thing.
He only does one impression.
Take the Lord of Light.
The Lord of Terror.
This is yours.
Yeah, sorry.
He does one impression.
I'm sorry.
It's just Bane.
Bane and the Joker duking it out for King's Landing.
So if I were to do it on that that list i know i took it off the screen
i guess one one dies and um fuck rickon maybe do you know the actor who plays one one is 11 feet
tall 11 you say what a stretch that they made of like 11 and a half in the show.
Well, they did it by angle play.
Yeah, forced perspective.
That's actually Overt Flow's dad.
Really?
Well, you learned the amazing stuff from Taylor.
They do a good job with that giant.
He looks very real.
That special effect in particular
I think is excellent. I wonder what he looks like in real life.
I don't think he's there.
I mean, he could...
He's not there in that form
for sure. Is he a person
in a green suit with ping pong balls
all over him?
Does he actually totally look like that
in front of a green screen?
They need to superimpose him in all the Game of Thrones stuff. all over him? Does he actually totally look like that in front of a green screen?
Does he superimpose him in all the Game of Thrones stuff?
I wonder what it looks like in Raw.
I've never seen that actor.
I don't know.
I'd like to know too how to achieve it. There was an actor that played...
Taylor, help me. Who's the guy, my precious,
in Lord of the Rings?
Gollum. But it's Andy Serkis who plays him.
Thank you.
Andy Serkis, of course, doesn't look anything like Gollum,
but he played him.
He looks a little like him. He looks a little like
Gollum, but I have, after watching the special
features of Lord of the Rings, I mean, this was
years and years ago, but I had so much more respect
for acting with
those fictional characters on
screen, because it's so real looking
at Gollum. He's splashing around in the creek with that
fish. It's so
real watching Frodo and Sam
act with him that you don't even think until you
watch the special features that this is a grown
man writhing around in some
New Zealand stream going,
Jesus Christ, new fishes!
And just going like that. And Sam
and Frodo have to sit there and look at him and be like,
Oi! Show down there.
And it's like, that would be hard to not just laugh
or feel so silly that you couldn't do it.
Like, that would...
I don't know, man.
He's selling it.
He's spitting and drooling, and his eyes are so intense.
Andy Serkis is amazing.
I was glad that he kept getting work afterwards,
because it's such a...
You know, him playing Smeagol is like this sort of one-off
piece of brilliance that you could
wonder. You're huge, but you're not
famous. Yeah, you could have a Michael
Dorn thing where you're just Worf forever.
But instead, you know, Andy Serkis
goes and gets all this other voice work
and Peter Jackson's always looking out for
him, it seems, and it seems like he's made
a real nice career out of being
very talented at that. He around like exactly the way you think smiegel or gollum
would have moved around like the weird kind of angular hand placements on things almost like
like just weird shit like that very off kilter little off balance uh when when you see the clip
of him i don't remember what scene it was
believe it or not but when
Gollum turns around and does
like that scream
shit in the last movie
freaking out on him
watching the scene of Andy Serkis doing that
is like
that guy's really fucking playing Gollum
that's his voice
doing that
they really didn't add anything to his voice in that movie he is Gollum. That's his voice doing that. They really didn't add anything to his voice
in that movie. He is Gollum.
Yeah, totally. They're not
adding much. It's not a huge
auto-tuned,
modulated thing. He's
85-90% of that voice
all on his own. He's really good.
I miss those movies.
I hear they're remaking Lord of the Rings
with all women.
The Dwarvettes. The Dwarvettes.
The Dwarvettes.
How horrible would that be?
If you watched a Lord of the Rings movie with all...
They would be split up
into three groups by the time they left Rivendell.
Kind of shit-talking each other.
It wouldn't work out.
I wouldn't watch that. That would make a good porno, though. It wouldn't work out. I wouldn't watch that.
That would make a good porno, though.
It's gotta be out there.
You got midgets in there, you got elf cosplay,
you got magic, all kind of
staves that you can use for various things.
You got Andy Serkis.
Oh, yeah.
That's some interesting positions.
I gotta be honest, I'm not even interested
in the VR porn. That doesn't interest me
very much because
I can fuck other
normal women that are
real and I don't think you can beat those graphics
like the graphics of RL.
I just don't think I'd be into that.
What's it even going to look like?
She's blowing my dick, but it's not my dick.
It's some other dude's penis that I'm watching
her go down on. I'm like, wait a minute.
My thighs aren't this big around and tanned and shaved like what the fuck like you know
I don't have a belly tattoo
like I'm watching Dolph Lundgren get blown it's not like I'm watching me get blown and it's I
don't know if I'm into that I I'm super into the idea of doing the Star Trek
missions and all that
stuff and actually commanding the ship.
I don't think it's something I would go and do every afternoon
or anything, but I'd spend a few hours
exploring that and playing with it.
I think that's what all the games will be like. It's like an
experience more than something I'm going to
go back to and do a lot. I don't know.
And I really want to show my dad.
That's one thing. Because I remember he always made fun
of my video games growing up.
And I want to show him the most cutting
edge of video games. And that's got to be it.
Like that badass PC pushing
a Vive or Vive, however
you pronounce it. Oh, the Xbox One.
I kept trying to get it out, but Boogie kept
interrupting me. It was nonsense.
But the new Xbox One
is the cheapest 4K player on the market i think
i think i think that's going to be the deal with that 4k blu-ray player that's interesting that
was the thing that sony did smartly in the ps2 three i promise two um yeah back when dvd players
costed oh dvd i thought but Blu-ray was PS3
I guess they did it twice but yeah on the PS2
one of the reasons I bought that
was that all the DVD players
were like $200 at the time
and then that thing was $200 but it was a DVD
player slash gaming machine
and a lot of people bought the PS2
for that reason and then like you said the 3
had the right Blu-ray there There was Blu-ray and then
Xbox had the... HD DVD. Thank you.
Yeah, and that one turned out not to
really take off. So now
Microsoft actually is on the board
of Blu-ray and they are part
owners of Blu-ray along with Sony
so that's not like... For a long time I thought
that was some sort of Sony proprietary
technology or maybe Sony had purchased Blu-ray
outright and had a commanding
grasp on that. But no longer.
Although I've noticed in Microsoft's advertising
they don't come out and call it Blu-ray.
They don't B-L-U-ray.
They just say
it's a 4K player.
But I'm going to get one, I guess.
Get rid of my current Xbox One.
I was looking at putting a Blu-ray
drive in my PC, but it just seems like there aren was looking at putting a blu-ray drive in my pc but it just
seems like there aren't any 4k onboard blu-ray players uh for my pc and i'm never going to watch
anything there anyway so i think i'll just get an xbox one get a new one okay yeah i only have one
4k player in the house it's a tv we got for the guest room because my mother-in-law was supposed to stay with us. I hope that didn't work out.
I'd like a 4K player for the living room.
But last time I looked, which was two months ago, they were like eight grand.
And that just seems like a lot for the upgrade.
For the player?
No, this is the projector.
Oh.
Yeah, the projector would be about eight grand.
And I'm like, yeah, no, know i it just seems like i feel like
in a year there'll be two grand so it's like will you pay six grand to use it this year
no i don't think so you know like it's too much for a year i wouldn't pay six grand a year for it
so like let's just that's gonna be amazing though because with 4k resolution and the ability to blow
it up on a big wall like all of a
sudden like who needs the movies anymore like you've got the best show in town with your like
custom-sized cut you know 4k resolution with your snacks your chair your wife you know and and none
of those other people yeah and the audio is probably better than the theater yeah you've
got great audio yeah it uh yeah it's just you're always in the right spot probably better than the theater. Yeah, you've got great audio.
Yeah, it's just you're always in the right spot.
It's in the right places, and it's the right volume.
And the theater, of course, has good audio.
But I don't know.
Surrounding the theater doesn't work quite like surround at home.
The butterflies don't zip across your head. It's almost surprising.
Not butterflies.
There's a scene in Harry Potter.
Bullets, too.
But there's a scene in Harry Potter potter bullets too but there's a scene in harry potter where like these i don't know they're like flying spoons or something go around you
and uh like i don't know it was one of the first surround sound experiences i had where i was like
oh my like stereo yeah it just did so big and every now and then like a band of brothers bullet was like and you're like like i heard a
door knock that like i was like one of the dogs you know i'm like i've definitely done that before
too i've been fooled into thinking the pizza guy was here yeah like 15 minutes after ordering
before when i'm like this was fucking quick and it's like oh you bastard now he just knocked in
the movie if yeah if you have surround sound in a living room like that it's quick. And it's like, oh, you bastard, no. You just knocked in the movie.
Yeah, if you have surround sound in a living room like that,
and it's not all the time.
I almost wish it was more than it is.
But every now and then they really get you with one, and it's cool.
Let me take a moment here and tell everyone about Casper Mattresses.
Please. Casper Mattresses are obsessively engineered American-made mattresses
at a shockingly fair
price.
And now you can get $50 toward any mattress purchase by going to casper.com slash pka
and using code pka.
Listen, you spend about one-third of your life in bed sleeping.
Let's make sure you're doing it on a good mattress.
Casper brings together two comfy technologies for a better night's sleep and brighter days.
Latex foam
and memory foam combined into one bed. So they've got just the right sink, just the right bounce,
no matter how you sleep. They've got a risk-free trial and return policy. They'll deliver it
straight to you. You can try it for 100 days. If you're not happy, they'll pick it right back up.
At the store, maybe you'll get a minute or two to try out a mattress, but with Casper, you'll actually get to sleep on the thing. It's $500 for a twin-size
mattress. It's $950 for a king-size mattress, which is what I got, and I absolutely love it.
I really, really like my mattress, I got to say. Comparing that to industry averages,
that's an outstanding price point. So to get $50 towards any of their mattresses,
price point. So, to get $50 towards any of their mattresses,
go to casper.com slash pka
and use code pka.
I don't know why I'd never gotten a king
size bed. There's really no reason
for it, but I'm so happy
with this king size bed. There's so much
extra space.
Two people are in it, and
then there's an extra
this much room on either side of us on the
edge where you can just
roll over and flop.
It's almost like you get to choose throughout the night whether you're sleeping by yourself
or with someone else on the fly.
It's big enough that it's like two full-size beds or something.
That is probably not.
And if you want to snuggle up close, you're with it.
If you want to go apart, you get that too.
And yeah, King is cool. Yeah, I'm very're with her. If you want to go apart, you get that too. King is cool.
Yeah, I'm very happy with it.
It's a little softer than
I thought I would have liked, but
I'm into it now. I sleep really well
in the thing. It sounds silly
to say, but it really is a better quality sleep,
I think. When I wake
up, I feel more rested than I used to on my
old lumpy coil spring mattress.
Very cool. Yeah, I think
Richard Ryan got one too and he was really happy.
Yeah, he did.
I'm trying to
think of topics. I've got one here where
I guess Trump said U.S.
troops stole millions in Iraq
and the guy came back on Twitter with a big
rant. Did you guys see that?
Stole what? No.
So here's the deal. there were some american soldiers whose
job it was to hand out cash to victims of america like um collateral damage right so every so often
a flare would like land in some guy's yard and set the house on fire or hurt somebody and
something in my hair anyway uh like something bad would happen and there were soldiers who were entrusted with giving out literal cash to Iraqis.
And they're both right.
So this guy goes on a Twitter rant that got big.
It's on the front page of Yahoo.
And it got some attention where he says, I did this job.
And it was hard.
And it was an important bridge between America and the victims of our military accidents.
I hope I'm saying that in a way that doesn't offend anyone.
And right.
Oh, so we're accidents now.
That's what you call us.
So.
But yeah.
Sunni people will not be put down like this.
We are coming after you.
Bring it.
All Sunnis band together.
Yeah, right?
So this guy, apparently he was literally a guy handing out cash.
Took it really responsibly.
Yeah, I said it right.
And he says he was like a super target.
Like because he had access to this cash, there were tons of people who were after him.
You know, trying to either threaten him or scare him or just kill him and take the cash from him.
So for Trump to, like, disparage the name of people in his role was really bad.
On the other hand, Trump is right.
And there were at least four or five guys convicted of stealing it.
And what Trump said was, Iraq, crooked as hell.
How about bringing baskets of money, millions and millions of dollars, and handing it out?
And shit, the rest of this quote is something like, I'm pretty sure
those guys are living in high style now or something. And the truth is
there were four or five guys who were found to be guilty of just that.
They bought their houses with cash or something. I'm sure I have details wrong.
But they stole some of the money.
Like, they bought their houses with cash or something.
I'm sure I have details wrong.
But they stole some of the money.
And I don't know. I mean, it seems like he's right.
Like, that's a lot of pressure and stress to put on someone.
They're already in a high-stress situation.
And it's like, hey, here's a fuck-ton of money.
We're trusting you with it.
Like, of course some of them are going to do the right thing.
And they'll tweet about it and everything.
But even that guy has to know that he was, was like the cream of the crop of morality there.
He had to know other people were doing shady shit.
This is a perfect example of Trump tweeting out something that's true and it offending people.
That's literally what this is.
He's telling you the truth, what happened, and why it happened,
and he's framing it with Iraq as a whole as just one part of what was a crooked, messed up endeavor where lots of people profited.
And the people who paid the most were the poorest people, the soldiers that we sent over there and the people that they killed and vice versa.
He's saying, look at this.
Here's just one little facet of this crooked thing that Hillary Clinton was part of.
And it's true.
Can I interrupt?
And of course people are offended by it.
Yeah.
I had a stat wrong.
And it's true.
Can I interrupt? Of course people are offended by it.
Yeah.
I had a stat wrong.
115 people have been convicted of stealing this money,
and it adds up to $52 million.
Okay.
So, yeah, he was just telling the truth then and getting flack for it.
But he's going to get flack for everything he says
because he's a presidential candidate.
Yeah.
There's a certain, like,
how dare you accuse a military person of
something you know wrong like it every one of them are heroes and infallible and it's like no
it's a cross-section of the population just like every other cross-section that has some
infallible heroes and apparently at least 115 convicted criminals yeah mean, there's a reason they have their own
courts and
military police and all that stuff.
These aren't Boy Scouts, they're the
Marines. Shit goes wrong sometimes.
And I mean,
shit, if you give me $50 million and you tell
me it's my job to give it to these assholes
out here, it's going to be real
easy for me to rationalize in my brain and say
fuck them.
I'm keeping this.
This is American money.
I'm American. My buddy died yesterday
fighting over here for that asshole.
I don't care if a flare burnt up his poppy field.
Fuck him. I'm pocketing
this money. I would have probably stolen them.
I'm sure there's a lot of people
trying to...
Part of what would corrupt you is all the corrupted people trying to get it.
It's like casino.
You know, so if I come to you and be like, dude, my grass burnt down.
My goats died.
Give me some cash.
My grass burnt down.
That's your nightmare, isn't it?
Right, right, right.
That's what came from me.
So, because apparently flares are one of the things that cause this damage.
And then you look into it and you realize, like, this guy's damages aren't nearly what
they said, or maybe it's just completely false.
And you get enough of those and you're like, why are we handing out cash to these shitheads?
You know, it'd be better in my pocket because that guy's a thief anyway.
At least I'm an American thief.
Hell, I'm going to pay taxes on this shit.
Fuck it.
I'm taking this back home.
Yeah, I can see how that happens.
Yeah, I can definitely empathize
with those 150-something brave Americans
who stole those Iraqis.
Fuck them.
Those brave Americans.
Hey, it was those cowards who just threw those.
It was just, yeah, take it, take it.
Those are the real cowards.
The real patriots brought that money home.
You know, if I had to vote right now, I'd probably vote for Hillary.
And I don't like either of them, but I'm just like, I don't know.
I go back and forth.
So for you guys that quote me and be like, remember this yeah i know i'm next week i'll say trump i i am having a hard time landing this this
term but uh the most attractive thing about trump is this like concept of america first you know
like i of all the shit he does and all the lies he tells and the wrong side of so many things that he's on i think he's gonna be crooked too but i do think he'll put america like he's america first all
this rock flag eagle charlie rock flag eagle and everybody else like i feel like there's this
general idea that the american president is at least somewhat kind of sort of a world president, right?
Like his actions impact a lot more than just America.
He's the one that'd get on the phone if the aliens came.
Yeah, right?
I remember Hank Green.
You know, he was on here saying things like, well, you know, Ethiopians need jobs too.
And I'm misquoting him, but it was something like that.
It was some sort of world fucking...
He was a guest. I think so.
He does Crash Course stuff.
He's writing a book.
Popular YouTuber.
Anyway, I really enjoy his content, and he's a good man.
That's just a silly thing he said.
Yeah, but he's really far to the left,
and he's kind of pro-humanity as opposed to pro... Yeah, he's really far to the left, and he's kind of pro-humanity,
as opposed to pro...
Yeah, he's...
So he's a feelings over facts kind of guy.
I don't know if I'd phrase it like that,
but, you know, if you said,
look, this American lost his job,
and this Ethiopian got one,
he would be like,
oh, well, that's a net even.
And I'm like, no,
I'm kind of America first.
That's where I stand on this thing.
I mean, if I thought that 100 Americans would get jobs, I'm okay with all of Ethiopia burning tomorrow.
Aren't we all?
Who here is not?
Let me ask you this question, Taylor.
And if you and I had a private little conversation, and I'm a gen in this, a genie, if you will, in this scenario.
And I say, look, Taylor, here's the deal.
I'm going to destroy Ethiopia tomorrow. I'm going to burn it to the fucking ground if you give in this scenario i say look taylor here's the deal i'm gonna destroy ethiopia
tomorrow i'm gonna burn it to the fucking ground if you give me the go ahead and if you do i'll
give you three hundred dollars cash three hundred yeah yeah well hold on let's let's weigh out the
pros and cons hold on 20s or hundreds three brand new hundreds oh oh Ooh. With the gold lettering?
Or number?
Yes.
Well, hold on.
This adds a whole other...
I've got at least five shirts I like from there,
so I wouldn't want to risk it.
Calvin Klein's doing something right.
You know?
I said Ethiopia, not Honduras.
I don't know.
Seriously, no.
I don't value them that little. But I do put America first. There's no one who values them that little. Like, not Honduras. I don't know. Seriously, no. I don't value them that little.
But I do put America first.
There's no one who values them that little.
That's silly.
But if you were to say an Ethiopian got a job and an American lost his job, that's a net even for the world.
It's like, I guess technically that's a net even for the world, assuming the same exact job.
But if that happened as a result of an American policy, then it's not a net gain.
That's a net loss because we should be looking out for our own country before we start dabbling.
I feel like there's people in Norway, Sweden, Czech Republic, and England listening to this saying, like, no, the American president needs to be sort of a globalist, a champion of the whole planet, this and that.
But you don't expect your Icelandic president to do the same, right?
Why can't the Americans just treat their country as though there are 3 million white people
living there?
Like, why can't we do that?
And we have a wealth of natural resources and our policies.
We have very strict immigration in Sweden.
You can't just come in and leech off the teeth of welfare.
Now I do not know where I'm from.
I'm from France now.
No, but I think that's funny when you get that weird delusion of people who are like,
oh, it should just be like Sweden and Norway.
And it's like, no, you have no understanding of how the world works.
You only have to get rid of all you think because i don't like that
i i got a little lost in the context of this conversation no i was saying that it's like i
was saying that three million white people for sweden to like draw a comparison that that's a
homogenous country with issues that are so far removed from what we experience in the u.s
economically militaristically in every way they're so different from us, but it's convenient to compare apples and oranges.
And it's just, it's silly.
It's silly to pretend like those social structures and social programs are working.
Well, I was just grabbing nations that I thought we might have listeners in.
But, you know, speak English and stuff like that.
But, yeah, I feel like the rest of the world expects America to be kind be kind of a global police affair whatever but they don't expect that from their own nation
and this is the first president i can remember who's really running on like a
fuck them all let's focus on me for a bit and i'm like god that's super attractive i think i'd still
vote for hillary today i'll probably change my mind if i i don't think i'm gonna vote but then
i was thinking the other day,
everybody keeps saying, oh, if you don't vote at all,
it's just a vote for Hillary.
And it's like, how true is that?
I'm thinking about, I don't really want to vote for either of them,
to be honest.
I'm going to vote for Trump.
The gun control thing alone.
You could do this.
Put them both behind a white sheet
and just look at the policies and like like some not every
You know a candidate might have 50 policies. They've got a stance on everything from from like
Genetically modified crops to to whether or not we should use imported leather to make furniture
They all have a stance on something
But some certain stances mean more to both you as the voter and to
the politician trump stats stance on imported leather probably doesn't give two shits about
he's gonna go with whatever is best for america but he has certain things that are priorities
not just policies that's the difference and so one of hillary's priorities seems to be this gun
control thing and she's so ignorant about it to begin with that she's just...
You want to talk about a loose cannon, it's her
on gun control. And I can't
abide that in any way.
That's true.
I can't think of an alternative
that I would not go
with over Hillary Clinton. I would vote
for...
I can't think of the person that I
would not vote for before Hillary Clinton. I really can't.
I'd vote for Sanders.
Oh, I would campaign for Sanders.
I would...
I would give him money.
Adolf Hitler.
Now, are we talking about...
In what iteration? Did we clone an Adolf Hitler?
Did we time travel him here?
Yeah, we just took off...
There he is, middle of World War II, busy as can be. Oh, shit. This isolf Hitler? Did we time travel him here? Yeah, we just took out, you know, there he is, middle of World War II,
busy as can be. Oh shit, this is 1944
Hitler? Yeah.
Now is he all pumped up from the heroin yet
or is he still full of gusto
from, you know, the early days of the blitzkrieg?
I'd call it 43 Hitler.
How about we get a
33 Hitler
and we get like a full
month of changing his mind
on stuff.
We can be like, hey, you were really doing a good job
getting that economy going, huh?
That's a good job.
All the stuff with the Jewish people
and the homosexuals,
you're gonna have to, we're not doing that.
We're not gonna do that part.
And he's gonna be like,
that is the whole point of me being here.
As long as he promised not to do any genocide and to abide by the two-term limit,
I would vote for Hitler before Hillary.
No genocide!
In my world, here's the thing.
I would not vote for...
I know a lot of people that are very strongly pro-Trump.
I know a lot of people that are very strongly anti-Trump.
I don't really know any – and I know some anti-Hillerys, but there are no strong pro-Hillerys.
It just seems like most of the pro-Hillerys in my world anyway are really just anti-Trumps.
Oh, yeah.
They're anti-Trumps and Hillary is going to clean up with women.
And that's going to be enough to win her the election.
Yeah.
Before I've been saying that Trump's going to win the election,
I'm flip-flopping on that. Today, I think
Hillary will. I've said the whole
time Hillary's winning. Well, I
flip-flop a lot. Trump,
it's all about Trump. What you're going to see,
you're going to see one or two more
terror attacks. They'll continue to prove Trump
right. They'll call him
wrong so much that people start showing up
to see why everybody's calling him wrong and those people
will start seeing that he's right on certain things.
There'll be a Barbra Streisand
effect where they're like, stop looking at what
Trump's doing. Just delete your Twitter.
Just delete it. Stop saying things.
They're just going to drive more and more faces to it.
There was a terror attack.
Trump's reply was
look, I'm right. I'm right. I'm right. Look at me. I was right all along. I feel like a terror attack. Trump's reply was, look, I'm right. I'm right.
I'm right.
Look at me.
I was right all along.
And I feel like this terror attack was a net loss for him.
Like, in my observation, suddenly the other Republicans have, like, unendorsed him.
Everything is about all his gaffes.
Like, all the airtime, his disapproval ratings are higher than ever.
Like, the reaction to his reaction was pretty negative.
Like, he just didn't play it right.
It has been this time around.
Yeah, it's odd.
Yeah.
So, I thought that this terror attack was going to be all a big thing that would help him, and it didn't happen.
I really did, too.
And it still may.
So, what we might be hearing is, like, the people who hated him to begin with are just hoorahing.
They're saying, ah, look at rying they're saying ah look at this
look at that look at this can you believe he said the gays because he said something like go ask the
gays they'll tell you that this happens if that happens and it becomes a whole gaffe or whatever
um the media is so deep in for hillary and so anti-trump on every level that it's almost like
i don't even know what to believe because like if you don't
look at anything trump has said or anything any of his actual speeches and you just go off what
the media says about him you would think that he was up there having a michael richards level
racist rant all over the country like that's what you would assume you know but it's it when you
actually look at it it's like yeah he says some incendiary stuff but it's when you actually look at it, it's like, yeah, he said some incendiary stuff, but it's not nearly like that.
Like, yeah, I don't know.
That's been my observation, too.
I swear Trump can be like, you know, I told you guys that, you know, if we if we block Muslims at the door, this would be a smart thing.
It was a no one wants to admit that this terrorist was Muslim.
And everyone goes on and they're like, oh, my god, can you believe that he's the next Hitler
who wants to kill all Muslims? And you're like,
whoa, that's not...
That's just not accurate. Kyle, can you toggle
your camera? It's not coming back for me.
Yeah, I'll do it again. The thing with, like,
like, the whole... I actually,
like, for the longest time, I actually thought
he did do the whole, like, oh,
I don't want any Muslims coming in anymore. And I'm like,
well, that is very extreme. That's not what he did? And then you look at it, and whole, like, oh, I don't want any Muslims coming in anymore. And I'm like, well, that is very extreme.
That's not what he did?
And then you look at it, and it's like, okay, so he wants to slow down immigration.
I think that immigration should just be slowed down as a whole.
Like, don't pull the Muslims out and go, ah, you know, this is like airport security now,
where if your name's Ulf Samuelsson or something, and you're from Sweden, you just waltz on in.
But if your name's Mohammed something from Syria, you don't.
It should be the same set of standards.
You need to be able to prove who you are.
You need to be able to show relevant documentation,
and then you can come here.
But the whole different set of standards for different people,
I don't really like that.
It's unenforceable.
That's the problem with the Muslim thing that gets in the way.
Well, he's changed it.
He's changed it to...
He changed from Muslim to people from
country... He said something about...
He's changed it to locations now.
Countries that... I don't remember his language,
but he was like, countries that don't like us
is basically what he said.
Is that so crazy?
No, it's not crazy at all.
It makes so much sense.
So wait a minute. There's some guys up there who don't like us.
Should we just let them in?
Just to turn them loose?
Maybe we should talk to them just a little bit first.
You want to talk?
Nobody wants to talk to them?
Oh, that'd be offensive?
That's incredibly racist, Kyle.
Incredibly racist.
But I don't care about the race.
It's just where they're from that most of those people don't like us there.
It's like their national hobby.
Then it's xenophobic.
Oh, my God.
Why is xenophobic bad? This is going to get me plenty of attention. But they're like national hobby then it's xenophobic oh my god like yeah why is xenophobic bad this is gonna get me plenty of attention but they're like oh you're xenophobic
and i look up what the word actually means and it means like having pride in your own country
and i'm like wait a minute like i feel like everyone else gets to be xenophobic i watch a
lot of ufc and all the brazilian fans cheer for the brazilian fighters all the Brazilian fans cheer for the Brazilian fighters. All the English fans cheer for the English fighter, Michael Bispin.
Bispin comes out and it's fucking God save the queen.
Yeah, exactly.
Conor McGregor comes out.
Oh, the Irish guys are so pro-Conor McGregor.
They're just outrageous super fans.
Even a Korean guy comes out there.
It's rude to brag about being the best.
If you're like, hey, I like this American guy because he's – no.
Americans like look at every nationality and they're all – like no one gets a head start with the fan base.
Me personally, I like guys that speak English.
I just have an easier time being a fan of someone where I can –
Yeah, because you can understand them.
Yeah, exactly.
Like I like Conor McGregor a lot.
But if he was Brazilian and didn't learn the language, I probably wouldn't be on board as much.
Yeah, I don't like that.
Yeah.
But I like how I called it the language, right?
If you didn't learn the one, you know, the language that matters.
Well, yeah.
Well, one of the two languages that are integral to business worldwide, English and Mandarin.
I hear you.
So anyway, I really like it when my fighters speak English,
but I don't give a big head start to them being American.
I don't know why.
I don't know why xenophobic is so terrible.
It seems like every other nation in the world gets to be xenophobic on every topic, but you're American, and suddenly it's like you're a bad person for having –
It's more this cultural relativism that's being pushed at every level of education
where it's improper improper and a faux pas
you have to say that all cultures are equally valid and they're all equal and that they all
contribute their own little bit to the to the global salad you know and you have to pretend
that they're all the same and and any differentiation where you're like hey you know that
part of swedish culture where they're you know really respectful of privacy and personal space
that's great you know that's that's better than what we do here in fucking Tanzania or whatever.
Like, you're not allowed to do that. You can't-
Tanzania.
You have to pretend that all fucking cultures are evil and it's nonsense.
And everyone knows it's false.
I'm impressed that you knew that that's a Dwight quote, but we do need a new plague.
That's in the wedding episode when they're walking in the shuffling.
We need a new plague.
I feel that way often, though. I would like a new plague something real nasty i'm hoping that zika
virus is it because it's both like mosquitoes and an std and it has so many symptoms and
seems like this uh oh i keep meaning to talk about the olympics i know we're the four hour
mark and we'll close out pretty soon but these i think the brazilian olympics are going to be an
absolute global fucking disaster on a health standpoint.
I predict at least one or two terror attacks.
Some bad shit is going to happen.
And it seems so evident to me.
I can see it so clearly.
And it seems like no one else does.
And maybe I'm just being...
I have my own prediction.
Let me finish mine.
I think there's going to be disease.
I think the facilities are going to be embarrassing.
I think that Olympic athletes are going to be assaulted.
I think that people are going to get Zika virus,
and it's going to spread globally.
I don't think it's going to be a pandemic or anything,
but the Zika virus will spread globally much more than it has before.
It'll be long-lasting and far-reaching,
and I think as a whole it'll be an absolute failure of an Olympics.
I think the facilities whole it'll be an absolute failure of an Olympics I think the
facilities will be terrible and unfinished because that happens in like two-thirds of Olympics winter
and summer when they're not in America or in a country with a lot of pride China fucking got
their shit in order they did anyway um there will be a few athletes that get sick but it's not going
to spread to the rest of the world like some sort of zombie plague that you see in a movie.
Like, oh, this guy got sick, then he got on a plane, and then it just really went crazy.
It's an STD.
I mean –
I hear you.
Oh, and those Olympians are fucking the shit out of each other the whole time.
There's free condoms in the village.
Nobody uses condoms anymore.
And the other thing is like it's not – I'm kidding.
That can't be true.
Condoms are horrible.
Why would you use – to prevent STDs?
It spreads in STDs, and not only is it...
It's not just about those birth defects
where the babies have the one-third size normal heads.
There's a whole list of things that it'll do to a healthy adult male.
Like, it was like cerebral palsy effects.
They got you losing all muscle control, bedridden ruined all kind of nerve
uh uh issues it sounds awful i like i said don't think it's gonna be a pandemic or anything right
those are gonna be a real failure though and and it seems like such a ripe target for for terrorists
right yeah you're in a country where like i don't know what their what their security's like down
there but it's a south american country it, but it's a South American country.
It's a very big country.
Like, Brazil is an enormous, like, area. I don't even want the Olympics.
I used to want the Olympics.
And you'd just be like, oh, yeah, like, LA is bidding on it.
I hope that we get it.
Let somebody else pay for that shit.
Yeah, now it's like, dude, they're all losses.
At loss, yep.
Yeah.
And, you know, like they up the infrastructure in
an area and then sometimes that has a lasting it's nice in atlanta effect okay yeah see i bet
atlanta still has some benefits from it i've heard um salt lake city does too is am i that's the
western one right city was uh 2002 thank you all right yeah i've heard that that has like some
major highways and stuff that have helped like ski resorts and things over the long term.
But by and large, these companies just seem
to be ruined by it.
It's part, I'm told, of why Greece is in the trouble
it is.
They just beat themselves up with it.
They should let some
superpowers shoulder the brunt
of that. I was shocked that Brazil
got... I was like, Brazil?
It's a white elephant. Give it to China every year. Fuck them.
I think, who is it that's
got it? I think Japan has it. Beijing again!
I'd be okay with that. I think it's Japan
that's doing the man-made
meteor shower for the 2020
Olympics or something like that. Sounds more
dangerous than Zika. Or the
2018 or whatever it is.
They're doing a man-made meteor shower let me do my
uh well i guess i do you want to close the show out because i got a post roll i just want to time
that appropriately i think it's i think that was the time all right let's see this is uh some
