live pkn episode 107 today i bought a new car oh yeah finally so um this comes out in i guess
tomorrow's vlog will be the vlog in which hope gets her driver's license uh she passes their
test and um and then i've been looking at cars for like a while now. Call it two months. Maybe more than that if you include like for myself.
But I don't know.
I just thought I saw the right deal.
And I got her a new car today.
It's 2006.
It's a Volvo XC900, I think.
XC90?
The SUV?
XC90.
Thank you.
Yeah, those are very safe.
Yeah.
Ford uses that platform to do like the old Ford 500s and stuff.
Does it have the CVT transmission, the continuously variable one?
I don't even know.
But I did drive it around, and the transmission seemed to shift smoothly.
We went on the highway, drove it for like four minutes.
Oh, if it shifted, then it doesn't.
I think it did shift, so I probably didn't.
I think it has a five-cylinder motor, which is not something you see all the time.
There were some oddities about it.
The batteries in the back.
But overall, it was a really well-kept care.
The woman that owned it, she was a physician's assistant.
Most of the time she owned it, she was a student or a med student.
Her mom bought it for her because it was so safe.
And she's selling it because she's moving to California.
She had all the service records.
Anyway, we bought Hope Evolvo.
What color?
It's white.
That's a really nice first car.
It's a nice small SUV, very safe.
That's kind of what we're shooting for.
We feel like if you're up a little higher,
it's easier to see.
And if you're a little heavier,
you're a little safer.
And then it's a Volvo.
I think this was my recommendation a while back.
I think this is literally the car that I suggested.
I like that car a lot.
I forgot about that,
but maybe you planted a seed, right?
Maybe you have a special power.
They're very safe.
I wonder what other things you could get me to do.
Isn't that the Volvo thing?
If only you knew all the things that I've already gotten you to do.
Volvo's big claim to fame is safety, right?
Everybody knows Volvo is super fucking safe.
Yeah, they invented the seatbelt. They tend to put more airbags around ahead of the game before Chevy andd and all those other guys are doing it anyway so yeah we got her a it's like a it's it's a small suv i guess you'd call it
and it should be just right for her and for anyone else i don't know well good for her finally
passing that fucking test she passed it first try it was taking it good for her finally taking that
test it even went bumpy.
Like, I don't know if you guys watch the vlogs, but I took her
in the morning.
We sat there for like two and a half hours.
She gets up there, and there's a math error in the number of
hours that she's driven.
Driven.
And she doesn't have enough night hours.
So they have to go, and she quickly have enough night hours so um uh you know they have to go and
she quickly got some night hours in there and then they went to a different dmv
that's exactly what my parents did they didn't do they were just like they had that little sheet
and it just like right in parent or guardian how many miles or how many miles how much
time they've driven and it was just my mom like sitting there like looking it or guardian how many miles or how many miles how much time they've driven and it was
just my mom like sitting there like looking it up like how many do you need i'm like i don't know
you're the adult and she's like finding it out and then just wrote in that amount with like an
extra 20 miles or 20 minutes or whatever just so you know it's not bait bullshit but um yeah that's
that's good good for her she's gonna be really happy she did that soon once she feels that first
kind of taste of freedom
where it's like, I'm going to go do this and that.
Oh, now I actually can go do this and that.
She's been motivated by kind of the opposite.
Like, oh, she went to a National Honor Society meeting, right?
She's in this thing for school.
If people don't know what that is, it's for kids with good grades
and they do like civic service and crap.
Anyway, National Honor Society breaks breaks up all the other kids drive
home she's getting picked up by her mom uh another time earlier in school like you know jackie had a
time to pick her up jackie got there on time whatever it turned out all the other kids just
decided on a whim to like go to starbucks and get a coffee or something but not hope hope's getting
her ride home what's jackie gonna do jogging it up right like like you
know hope doesn't set her own schedule she has a driver and um she just didn't like that situation
she got to see how everyone else had it nice and she didn't so um who'd have thought right
transportation is nice yeah so um that's good she learned that way though I'm glad that she had some like rough days where like everybody went to
Starbucks and they're,
you know,
they're by sitting over at some,
where's hope.
Oh,
she doesn't have a car.
Oh,
why not?
Oh,
she just does it,
you know?
And she's just like,
well,
shit,
I really got to get a car.
She needed some motivation.
She got it.
That's the best thing about having your,
like for me,
at least like,
I still remember that like the first,
like the two days after I got my license and just sitting at home being like, God, like, checking the fridge.
Like, there is no soda in here.
And I was like, oh, my God.
I can go to the store right now and buy whatever I want.
I can, and it was just a really cool feeling, as novel and stupid as that sounds.
No, that's the thing.
I can seize the day.
I can go buy a Diet Dr. Pepper and some Cheez-Its right now if I want.
Now, that was a spiral that I had to avoid, you know,
because I'll run out and grab bags of Cheez-Its all goddamn day.
But that's good for her.
I'd say I'm proud of her, but it's expected.
But, yeah, so she got motivated to do that and got it done i'm happy about it that's good so i've been uh i've been watching a lot of oz this week i'm almost done with it
um almost done it's i don't think this at now because i finished the series last week
well it looked so uh beecher has gotten out and he's acting as a lawyer.
But in the current episode I'm in, it appears that the guy from SVU is going to set him up and get him back in prison.
So I just turned it the fuck off because that really pisses me off.
I'm like, no, fuck you, HBO.
I'm going to go watch The Office instead.
That's bullshit.
You let Beecher go. Let him go. I don't think I'm going to go watch The Office instead. That's bullshit. You let Beecher go.
Let him go.
Like, I don't think I'm going to go back.
I literally don't think I'm going to go back.
Which one's Beecher?
Is he the main character white guy?
Yeah.
Yeah.
With the tattoo on his butt?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's very upsetting for me.
Well, you don't know what's going to happen with him.
I don't think I want to know.
You should tune back in.
I'd like to just go away and pretend like he stayed out and he kept fucking his kid's teacher and had his happy family and just exonerated prisoners for
the rest of his life and made lots of money i don't want to i don't want him going back in there
oh it's so bad it's such a hellhole such a nightmarish hellhole what i i've already decided
what i would do i'm gonna be in solitaire i'm going to solitaire there's no reason to exist
with those people you You'll go crazy.
No, you wouldn't.
Give me a book, and I'll be friends with the guard.
Maybe I'll get to fuck that really mean female guard.
If you didn't go crazy, that would make you unusual.
Because it seems, you know, like, the vast majority of criminals would much rather spend their time with murderers, rapists,
and homicidal maniacs than be alone.
You think you wouldn't until you are
all alone no stimulation no contact you're spending 23 and a half hours a day and they don't just
bring like it's not like uh that amazon button where it's like i'm tired of this novel and you
slam it and they you know the guy brings up another one like you just won't bring melville if i ask or
anything i can't get what i want if Solitary was what you wanted to be
alright, here's what I'm going to need
first of all, Wi-Fi
at least 300 down, 30 up
something like that
I'm not expecting that, just library access
I want a book list
I can be like, Little House on the Prairie
hook me up
I think I'll finally make the conversion to the PS4
and a gaming PC, some VR goggles, and a pantry.
That would be, that's just like having a free apartment in a prison.
Yeah, that's what I'm going for.
I think just books I could get by if it was unlimited and pretty quick.
Like, it couldn't be like, oh, man, I really want just to reread Game of Thrones
and then I hand it to him and he's like, alright,
that'll be to you in six to eight weeks? Maybe.
Like, it would have to be like, no, I need you to
scamper your little fucking felon feet
down that way and grant me these books and bring
them back. I think you'd be good with that, though.
Because, you know, I would sit down, like,
as soon as I'm found guilty, I guess,
I'd be like, alright, let's put a book list together.
We're gonna want to find some series of books, you know, like Dune.
Go with Dune.
It's got all those, like, there's, like, many, many books that go to it.
Lord of the Rings would be a good one.
All that stuff.
I figure I would just read my way through the thing.
That's all I could do.
Reading is better.
Reading in solitude is much, much better than fearing for my life day in and day out, surrounded by people who I can't believe or trust.
After, I would say, like, a couple of months in solitary, even if you have every book in the world, like, you're going to start to crack.
Like, you're not going to get enough daily stimulation.
Can I talk to the guard a little?
There's not enough sounds.
There's not enough colors.
You're just sitting in there stewing.
You're resenting yourself and everyone
around you every day you're starting to get conspiratorial thinking about like they're never
gonna let me out they've locked me in here forever they don't think anyone's gonna remember me they
think they can leave me in here for fucking like you're gonna even if that sounds ridiculous you're
gonna start thinking like that and eventually they're gonna open the door and instead of a
bunch of books open on scholar kyle's little bunk it's gonna be you
know swastikas drawn in shit saying you know let me go talk to schillinger you know i'm ready to
i'm ready to get my tattoo nah well maybe that would happen but that's what would happen i would
have to just go crazy and solitaire because that's what i'd pick because i don't i'm not i'm not going
out there into into the general population,
and Emerald City just seems like a more wide-open scary place.
Like, it's not really a nice place at all.
Yeah, they just have glass instead of bars.
But other than that, like, the guy who runs it is always like,
oh, it's my...
Like, that, like, pearl-clutching liberal guy
who really thinks that all these people...
McManus.
Are they actually good on the inside?
And is repeatedly reminded, like, dude, you are
going out of your fucking way to help these
people, and the first chance they
get, they will want to kill you.
Every time. Not sometimes. Not like,
hey, I'm glad you had my back there. No, every
time. Every fucking time. Because they
sell everybody down the river to get their own
drugs or their own gang in a higher position.
Like, they're just shitty people, and I like that about the show, that they have a lot of characters who it's like,
yeah, I murdered people and stabbed their eyes out and raped a couple women, but I found the Lord.
I'm glad they don't have that as much, because I really do think most of those people in there for that heinous shit aren't going to change.
What's their non-redeemable?
The lead Muslim guy, what's he in for?
Saeed?
He burnt down a white-owned
factory.
And I think some people got hurt in there.
He was one of my favorite characters.
Yeah, he's pretty good.
Yeah, but after
watching, I don't know, 95%
of that show now,
I don't like it. Wish I hadn't watched it.
I don't recommend it to anyone you know it's like it's like there are plenty of horror movies that i would probably say
the same thing about like this didn't have enough redeeming qualities to to counterbalance the the
bad things that it made me feel and that's how i feel about oz i'm emotionally poor for having
seen this right yeah drained at the very least um. And one of the things I really don't like
is how it's edited together,
like the flow of the show.
Like we skip forward months at a time
with no warning whatsoever
and we leave storylines behind
and I get confused sometimes.
It's shot out of order.
And there are particular episodes
where that's just the layout
of that individual episode,
like the one with the school bus accident
where all the family members died.
I understand why that one was shot out of order,
but many times it just seems like the whole show,
you'll be focused on this one guy,
and then you'll think that, okay, it's day two now,
but really it's like a year later,
and you see the guy that just got stabbed
is now walking around and stuff.
I don't know. I just didn't care for it.
It was too rough. It was too awful.
And I had a hard time
like rooting for anybody because they were all terrible that's the thing with this show kind of
looking back like it's hard to find anyone that you want to like stand behind and be like all
right this is the dude for a while it was the muslim guy because i'm like okay saeed seems
like he's a genuinely good dude who burned burned a building down for a political statement and it went awry.
But he's not violent. He's pretty peaceful.
He just wants to keep everybody getting along for the most part.
And then he starts to go astray.
And it's like, well, fuck, this guy's kind of just a crazy racist too in his own way.
All right, let's see what's happening over here.
All right, well, it looks like the Italians just cut a guy's hands off because he looked at him funny.
just cut a guy's hands off because he looked at him funny oh the homeboys are you know cramming crack cocaine into this poor 17 year old boy's asshole by the pound and then forcing oh look
i used to like o'reilly but o'reilly will have his retarded brother kill your husband uh you know
and and that's not cool you know and then it was so bizarre like The doctor in the hospital, O'Reilly, has her husband killed.
And then they continue to interact, and she has this one thing where she's talking to someone,
and she's like, yeah, I know he killed my husband and all, but we weren't doing that well anyway.
And no one's ever loved me as much as O'Reilly loves me, and they never will.
And O'Reilly is the guy who paid for the murder.
He's the guy who had her husband whacked. And she's nobody will ever love me as much as him his love is so big
it's like whoa what the fuck are you doing you should leave this hospital immediately like get
away any of these dudes will love any woman they see because a lot of them are in there for life
and they just want a wet hole like that's it they just you know they'll say they love you they'll do
whatever they'll literally kill your family if they think they might have a better chance of getting laid
because of it there are so many pitiable characters and pitiable uh scenarios that go down where you're
just like i i don't want that to happen like like it when there's violence and it's someone you
don't like getting hurt it's a lot more palatable you know you're like ah yeah well he deserved it
he needed it he he asked for it or
whatever but oftentimes you just see innocent people getting like like that poor guy who was
playing the basketball game and they cut his achilles tendon and now he's limping for the
rest of his life with no possible shot at the nba yeah fuck yeah fuck that was fucked up when that
happened i was just like you can't undo that they just fucked do you remember why
they fucked him up so he wouldn't win the basketball game that was it yeah they wanted
them to lose the basketball game to the to the inmates which they could have anyway because
the inmates had a professional basketball player on their team and they like i don't know that
that's the thing you really articulated it well there
kyle of all so many of the people who get hurt they're not like nameless faceless like when you
see an orc get slaughtered in lord of the rings or something like it's a guy who is just hanging
out you imagine him like being there on like tax evasion and then suddenly it's like oh that guy
just accidentally was right there at the wrong time, and the Sicilians wanted to make a message, and so now he has no head anymore.
Like, it's just shitty to see.
I think we need a roadkill.
Next thing you know, there's a Jew hanging upside down.
You know, like, they just, there's a lot of random violence.
They bricked that preacher up behind that wall to die.
And as bad as that was, then the gas explosion comes,
and, like, third degree burns his whole body.
And then something I still
don't quite understand,
something I still don't quite understand,
he disappears, and there isn't a big
statewide manhunt for this famous
television preacher who's
gone missing after being burnt crazy.
You gotta watch the rest of the series just to find out how that
storyline wraps up.
Fine. God damn it.
I think it does on one of the last episodes but
um yeah i recommend the show in smaller doses i tore through it way too quickly and actually found
myself laying in bed like oh jesus fucking beacher man i'm so sorry for you like oh like just
actually feel an empathy towards these fictional characters wife'sife's dead, your son's dead, your daughter's traumatized, your dad's dead!
Your friends are all dead.
Don't drink and drive kids, isn't that what Beecher did?
You're goddamn right, don't drink and drive kids.
Vehicular manslaughter is what he got.
That's one of the cooler parts of the show, that's what I like a lot,
is they have these flashbacks where they show you what individual inmates did to get where they are.
And sometimes it's like, oh shit, that's all he did?
What do you mean he'll be...
He gets paroled in 8 to 15 years.
That's bullshit! No!
Because one of the guys is a Catholic priest who's protesting against some business,
and he's rocking a truck,
and then a cop comes up behind him and he punches the cop.
And that's his whole crime.
He got spun around and reacted and punched a guy.
And this is, like, a 65-year-old Catholic priest.
He's doing 8 to 15.
And I was just like, oh, shit.
Oh, no, just keep your hands in your pockets from now on.
Just hands in your pockets.
Yeah, you see the exact opposite thing where it'll show the guy doing a horrific crime,
and the time doesn't, like, Chucky Pancamo, the big jacked Sicilian guy. doesn't like uh chucky pancamo the big jacked
sicilian guy it was like chucky pancamo uh you know sentenced to 25 years up for parole and 12
and it shows him like you know sentenced for throwing his girlfriend alive tied up in a sack
into the river to drown and it just shows this woman like freaking out and he's just like hey whatever
it's like jesus that's way more cold-blooded than that pastor who punched someone and it's only like
an extra five years that he got um alvarez i think is his name maybe could might not be
whoever the guy who cut the guard's eyeballs out alvarez alvarez is so hardcore that at this point when
somebody starts giving alvarez shit i'm like you better leave him alone like i'm not afraid for
alvarez anymore it used to be that alvarez would get us some shit and i'd be like oh man what's
alvarez gonna do now when somebody starts giving him shit i'm like oh alvarez is gonna fuck them
up they they messed up is he the car insurance guy?
Uh-uh. He's the Latino who cut out the guard's
eyeballs. He's the one who was like
spreading shit all over his walls in Solitaire.
He's the one that cut his own face with
the razor blade because he thought maybe it would make his baby
live. He's the one who
He went completely crazy
in Solitaire. He's the one who told the
guy, hey, shank me, bro. Then we'll
be even. Go ahead. Shank me where everybody can see. Put it in the shoulder, though. And the guy's like, shank me, bro. Then we'll be even.
Go ahead, shank me where everybody can see.
Put it in the shoulder, though.
And the guy's like, fuck it, I'm going to stab him in the heart.
And stabs him right next to his heart.
And he comes out surviving this wound.
He's like, it's cool.
You know, we're straight now.
It's all right. You took your best shot and I lived, right?
And the guy's like, yeah, I guess.
I mean, fuck.
You're just going to take it.
And his eyes even get a little crazier toward the end of the show where somebody threatens him. And he's like yeah i guess i mean fuck you're just gonna take and and his eyes even
get a little crazier toward the end of the show where somebody threatens him he's like go ahead
okay sure kill me try it let's see what happens because he just doesn't care he's cut so many
throats he's he's fought he's like he slashed a guard i definitely saw him slash the guard to
watch it again i it's for me punch the guy in his parole hearing. I feel like I don't even know it anymore. That's the beauty of getting older.
I will get to witness Oz
for the first time twice.
The slow onset of dementia.
Yeah, yeah.
I found out today.
Dude, so I was editing my video today.
At the end of my vlogs,
I do these quotes,
and they're like,
what, he used this quote already?
But for me,
I experienced it for the first time twice.
Well, maybe some of that... Really, you you're gonna be sitting there watching being like i seem to remember a yellow road
and some witches in this show where's that big black guy who cures people yeah
what's that reference to? Green Mile. Tom Hanks looks like shit.
Let himself go.
I want to see Oz again,
because I don't remember some of the...
I think sometimes what happens
in being more practical,
I multitask when I watch shows
and miss some of the details sometimes.
Yeah, man.
I probably miss some of the details throughout Oz
because there's so much gore.
I'll catch three or four murders a show, but hey, there's five or six every episode, so you miss out on some stuff.
It's so rough and violent and gory, though.
If anyone has an interest in prison and prison life and that version of it, that representation of it, it's really well done.
It's just, man, it's not good subject matter. It's not fun.
Yeah, it's just man it's not it's not good subject matter it's not fun yeah it's pretty upsetting so
you know i feel like the politics politics right now are in a lull like it's just the same stuff
happening right more hillary email shit more trump like double talk stuff uh yeah like 15 000
more came out and what is the fbi is making her do uh like under oath
some kind of deposition right is that right i know 30 about benghazi came out right i want to see
your dm clinton foundation stuff comes out but somehow even when like more smoke appears
but no fire just more and more smoke all the time it's like ah we knew the bitch was smoking
already like unless you give us real fire like real this donation led to this like benefit
it's it's just so much fucking smoke and then on the trump side like what did he do he took a tour
like like he was like pro amnesty for a day or two did you guys follow that
at all you know he did his thing where he like i just caught that he was kind of reneging on a
bunch of his you know previous statements about immigration which uh if you you can't be surprised
you can't be surprised he's not. He's not even a fucking conservative.
He agrees with Bernie Sanders on trade because he doesn't understand it.
He is in favor of big government, and he just gets off on assuming conservatism can be co-opted into –
like, if you look at him, he acts the way he thinks conservatives want a politician to act,
where he's this big, boisterous, you know, asshole, which is why so many conservatives are denouncing him, because they're like, this dude isn't
fucking conservative. He donated to the Clintons less than a decade ago. This guy is, was a
registered Democrat. Like, this is, he's just kind of stampeding on, you know, the traditional
conservative values of individual freedom, individual liberty, small government, non-invasive, not a lot
of restrictions put up.
He's not like that.
He loves government interference because he's used it before to make a bunch of money.
I don't like the way he makes money.
It just appears that all over the place, like, okay, so we're not billionaires, right?
And you say, well, maybe billionaires just have lots of lawsuits cooking.
Like at any given moment, there could be a lawsuit going and that's just like a side effect of being a billionaire
no dude like mark cuban's not in trump like lawsuits warren buffett doesn't have trump like
lawsuits bill gates doesn't have lawsuits popping up everywhere that's just trump getting sued by
everyone and the way he seems to do business is fuck people over the best he can.
You know, like he'll rent a hall.
Like even in his election campaign, he'll rent this place.
And they'll agree, like, all right, this room is going to cost $10,000 for the day.
It'll be catered.
It'll be whatever.
And then he'll write a check for $8,000 and say, you want the rest?
You can fucking sue me.
Fuck you.
Fuck you for doing that everywhere now i know i know he said like like if the air
conditioning isn't working or if they don't fulfill their end of the deal he'll often be
like he won't pay them he'd be like i'm not paying for that i know the air conditioning deal right
they came back and they said look you pack that room to more than the capacity and and everyone
in there is a heater and the air conditioner worked as function you know like there was nothing wrong with
it we've held many more events since then we you know everyone's been fine if
yours was too hot it was because you had too many people you know he doesn't
control how many people are in there see that doesn't make sense though think
about that right because like the fire marshal has like a number that he sets
that like a building can safely contain they're like oh well
you came in here and the way the fire marshal put extra people in like i read that he overdid the
fire marshal number but you know i'm not positive i just i feel like he wouldn't have control over
that would he yeah he wouldn't have control over that that's the that's the that's the people who
are like running the ticket sales yeah if you could dictate how many people could be allowed
in then a fire marshal would just be irrelevant because he'd be like hey you can only have 300 people in here hey fuck you i'm gonna
have 800 people in here like yeah i think that's exactly how it went down no you can't like i don't
know nah nah buildings have capacities and like i know the one i went a donor dinner and they just
stuffed it and they said it wasn't cool enough so he didn didn't pay. And I just, dude, that's one story of, like, thousands,
where he just sort of says, like, eh, nope, we're paying less.
And oftentimes, as part of the settlement,
they're not allowed to talk about it.
What's, like, a bigger example of that, instead of, like, eight grand,
because that's really nothing in the scheme of things?
Shit, I would have to look it up again.
Yeah.
Trump.
I watched your paramotor video today.
I was glad to see your prop.
You talked about it before, and in my head,
I pictured your prop exploding,
and a piece of it this big flying through the air.
It was a little bigger in my memory
when I was talking about it as well.
Yeah, but that was cool.
I saw him put that compound on it
and straightened it out or whatever.
So yeah, I watched today's video um have you thought any more about paramotor 2.0 there's an
issue so we were going to go this weekend and we still might uh to look for a lighter paramotor
but um you're going to trade yours in you know i don't know the specifics of it like i might
the first step is to demo a different one
and see if i like it more because there's going to be things about it like the suspension is
supposed to not be as nice the seat you sit on is on these like arms and there's suspension and
it's the one i have apparently is the best i figured paramotor suspension would be contingent
on how often you're squatting at the gym he means like the things that dangle you yeah yeah and and the way that
it moves and yeah so anyway um it looks like we were going to demo him this weekend and there's a
tropical depression rolling through florida and that might put a damper on our plans so we're
going to make a call like can i say come thursday but just looking at the forecast like winds are like 20
miles an hour and stuff i will blow out to sea you will never see me again you know like it looks
like it's i mean i i even i talked to eric farewell i called him and like scheduled and everything
and uh he's like yeah it looks like it won't be so much as a fly-in as like a barbecue you know
because there won't be any flying and uh i probably wouldn't do like a 20 hour round trip drive just for um oh goodness yeah
oh that's a not fly i gotta demo it jesus 20 oh man that's that really sounds like a fly-in
kind of situation right oh you mean so yeah 20 hours of driving yeah you gotta get a plane ticket that would that would
suck 20 hours of driving to maybe get to fly a new paramotor at least with like an actual plane
you could i hear you but there was a it was like so we're gonna drop hope off to see her boyfriend
and he's in south carolina near myrtle beach actually not far from Wings. Not the same town or anything, but anyway,
he lives in this beach town not far from Myrtle Beach.
And so
it's like, well, if we're going to be down that far,
then we're only like another six hours
to this place.
Why don't we make a trip of it?
I've never thought just another
six hours anywhere.
It's just a quick six
hours. I'm halfway. I'm one third there. Let's just a quick six hours i'm halfway i'm one third there let's just
go the other two thirds if you say so but but like i i've already decided like like no more
like crazy long drives for me i'm not going to do it ever again we're talking 10 hours each way not
you know not 20 i hear you okay i think my limit is, like, that's approaching it.
Like, I'll drive down to, like, Florida, but, or, you know,
if I've got to move a piece of equipment or a tool or something
that I have to have with me to Texas, then I have to.
But, man, that last drive to Boston convinced me that long,
it was just so awful.
Like, when you're in the middle of a drive like that,
you're just like, there's no way out. Like, I couldn't quit if i wanted to like i'm just here like i might have
helped if your co-pilot didn't sleep on you ah well i mean that guy that is so frustrating when
the co-pilot sleeps because melissa does that every fucking time we go on a road trip i have
to plan it now where it's just like all right you're driving
tomorrow right you're driving because i won't i don't really sleep well in cars or any method
of transportation so i'm always awake and so i'll sit there and talk to the person i'm driving but
it infuriates me when i spend like at the eight hour trip from boise to seattle eight or nine
hours i sat there alone driving because she was asleep. Like that's – I like to drive.
I regret not helping now.
What happened to me – so at the time I made daily videos,
and we were going to be away for I'll call it four days.
So I felt like the day before we left, I had to make like –
I don't know if I made them all that day or if it was over the last two days.
But because my videos are kind of topical,
I didn't feel like I could make them like six weeks in advance and then just talk about some random bullshit so i made i did what i thought
was like five days of work the day before and then kyle gets there and i'm you know i've already been
up 20 hours so that's what happened on my side of it having said that a better version of me might have done it also didn't drive on the way
back just saying now for that i was awake and you could have said something i was just polite i was
like maybe he's got something wrong with him and he can't drive and i'm gonna be like hey could you
drive and you're gonna be like oh i'm not allowed to drive My club foot Waiting for me to offer to drive someone else's car
I guess I should have but
You know that I guess in my head
We all made it back
We did yeah
The GPS took us
Not in a straight line
Delaware
You got stuck in Delaware
Oh god
Leg detour I probably messed up the navigation Yeah, yeah, we were. You got stuck in Delaware? Oh, God.
Like detour.
You know, I probably messed up the navigation,
touching it to, like, you know, make sure that, I don't know. I think Kyle programmed it wrong,
but I was in charge of the programming as the navigator.
So, like, where do you place the blame?
Two systems failed that should have gotten us home
and i was responsible for one and he was the other and we we just didn't make it home quite
as early as we would have so i think i dropped delaware is it's a peninsula so when you make a
wrong turn down into delaware you got to turn around and go back where you came from
i was like is there a bridge or maybe a tunnel i don't know
there's a ferry and it's not running and i know that it's an absurd idea to suggest that there's
some like 90 mile long tunnel in the out by delaware but that i've never heard of like like
the channel but but but we were you know it's like two in the morning and we just want to be home and i'm like maybe there's a tunnel i don't know yeah it was we could like like like in a what was
the old um oregon trail we could fjord the the car and like like like pack it or something
ah it was so bad but we made it home i think i dropped him off at like
it was it was the middle of night yeah it was I mean, if he dropped me off at 1, he was going to get home at 6 or something.
Yeah.
So I continued on home, and I get like 10 miles down the road,
and I hear,
I'm like, that ain't my fucking ringtone.
It's Jackie on Woody's phone.
I'm like, I'll be right there.
I forgot about that. I'm like I'll be right there I
Just I was doing down the interstate
I just went straight through the medium like straight to them like like through the grass and just made a u-turn
Cuz what did you say cuz there's no way that you just hung up and went
Cuz I've done this before you had to have been like fuck
What are you stupid fuck son of a bitch i gotta get home
i'm gonna fall asleep and die in the road like you had to do that just so tired and emotional just
just right i think just i just took it i think i took it really well the way the way i remember i
was like i'll be right back with your phone and he was like okay sorry and i was like boop and
then i just went through the medium like all right, just do this as quickly as you can.
All right, here we go.
We're going back.
We're going back.
Whatever.
Yeah, and I was ready for him when he got there.
He didn't have to leave the car or anything.
I came out.
Quick baton handoff.
I was getting ready to...
Yeah.
If you had, I'd have been there to catch it.
Yeah, I was right there.
I'm on Skype.
You know?
I was glad to get home after all that bullshit. That was it. That was a long drive
So yeah from now on it's rental cars and fucking airplanes if I'm going more than maybe
Seven or eight hours anything more than that. I'm just not doing it ever again
Hmm hey, so I have a car something. I don't know
in. Hmm.
Drive a car or something, I don't know.
It's awful. In today's video, I know you said you watched it, we put up
a, we're like, oh, we broke Marco's fence.
We have to put it back in such a way
that he can't tell that we broke it.
Well, we didn't actually break his fence at all.
That was just, we were just fucking with Marco.
And he's texting us today
all scared, like, what happened to the fence?
Like, what did you guys do?
What do I need to fix it? Like, it it was pretty fun tell them a huge list of expensive supplies
should have done that no we let them off the hook immediately like that piece of the video
was just to fuck with you and it worked it did it worked brilliantly me and uh taylor have been
playing a little bit of uh civ a little bit more civ. So at this juncture, Taylor, what are your opinions of Civilization V?
I'm getting ten times as much experience up until the medieval age
than I am from medieval onward
because we've had so many connection problems recently
of just getting booted mid-game and not able to join back up and stuff.
We had an internet issue last night. It was purely the internet, though. It wasn't the game. problems recently of just getting booted mid-game and not able to join back up and stuff internet
issue last night it was it was purely the internet though it wasn't the game i've still got that
not the game just an internet thing but i've been playing alone some like in and out which is that's
a thing i really do like about the game is i could just hop in play like two turns and then
not play for hours like it doesn't matter and it's i can see how you can get really addicted to this
because it's so
multifaceted the way that you have to build the civilization and everything you have to keep in
mind and whatnot like it's it's really hard to strategize because every option you can unlock
all of them sound good like so i'm new and so i'm like oh man like a water mill like i'm sure these
people want some some water to power some stuff.
And I don't know, a circus, like, it'd really increase my smiley value.
Everybody would be loving me if I bought a library.
Like, I don't want to have a bunch of fucking idiots.
Like, and so it's really, really difficult to pick a kind of – well, I don't know it well enough to even articulate this.
But, yeah, it's hard to know.
The tech you choose, too, right?
You're like, oh ah you know like man what
i really want is gunpowder gunpowder makes a huge difference is pottery like a forebearer of
gunpowder i don't know check the tree see what's up and like yeah it it takes a lot of it just
takes experience until you like like all the things you guys are talking about i'm like oh
i got all that mastered.
But it took me forever to master it, to know when I wanted to.
What you've got to do is figure out what your goal is,
what your plan is, where you're headed.
And for me, it's always at what point am I going to be the first one to get a nice military tech like crossbows or trebuchets or cannons
or artillery or musket men or something like that like so my
entire game is devoted toward uh getting teching and sciencing toward that tech and then once i
have it turning everything in my empire into just a crossbow building factory that's all it's about
like like it and then that crossbow factory will kill all the romans and
now i've got eight cities and now i can go back to tech and this time i'm heading toward artillery
and when i hit artillery oh now it's an artillery factory i've built now all the artillery is going
to go and kill something um but if a month from now america is going to adopt the woody philosophy
of civilization placing which is you know first place the Woody philosophy of civilization placing, which is, you know,
first place, the thing you want to be is the winner.
Second best position,
first guy out of the game.
Like, that is the second best way
you can go, because everything else is just
slow death towards awfulness.
It depends, because, like,
at this point in learning it,
I'm not going to win. I don't really mind
losing. I'm not good enough to win, so I'm just trying to figure it out.
But I feel like my big problem is I'm having six half-assed efforts
where I'm like, oh, I want some culture.
I've got to start my religion too.
Oh, but what's going to happen if I don't have defenses?
And I should build an army just in case.
Oh, I'm not going to not build a bunch of trading posts as soon as I just –
I feel like I'm putting way too much just all out there hoping it'll disseminate into
the lower ranks of my little society and improve it but really it seems like the best way to do it
is like to really target something and just hit it hard wait is that wrong wait till you think
you're gonna win wait till it's like you know what i've got the best sandcastle on this planet. You know what?
This is my day.
Everything's fucking going right for me.
All the wonders I went for, got them first.
Like this, things are really going cool.
And then you lose a close one.
But you don't just lose a close one.
You slowly wear away and like you try to come back.
You have another city.
You win some. you lose some and
it's just it is the slowest death in all of gaming it can be um it can be a real like slow war of
attrition there at the end um but i i i love it i really do love it and and the reason i i do is
is because the multiplayer aspect i like to play 1 1v1s because you can usually get somebody to play with you really quick.
And I can usually win a 1v1 in like 45 minutes or something like that.
And my heart beats the whole time.
Mostly because of the shame that would come if I lose the 1v1.
I would feel very upset if I lose to somebody because I feel like I've put so much time and effort into it.
I shouldn't lose.
I just shouldn't.
There's no excuse for me to lose at this point,
unless you're a filthy robot or something.
I shouldn't be beaten by average people on the internet anymore.
So the whole time I'm playing a 1v1, it's just my heart's racing
until that first time I see them and see where they are
in the grand scheme of things.
And oftentimes I see them and I'm like, oh, that's all you got?
Oh, you're fucked. You're so fucked.
And that feels so
good to know that like i got six units and you've got one oh you have already lost we've lost 20
moves into the game that that that's exactly how i felt when i was first teaching you how to play
age of mythology and we were doing 1v1s because i was it was like maybe after playing like five or
six seven games together and you were picking it up, and we're both shrouded,
and I would be building stuff in my heart's beat,
and I'm like, there's no way you can let him beat you here, Taylor.
Like, you just taught him how to do this.
If he beats you, that'll be humiliating.
You've got to really ramp up this Herseer production.
You've got to have 10.
No, check that, 15 of them, to march over there and see what's going on.
And so I'm like meticulously over there like, how you doing, Kyle?
Like, come on, you fucking bitch.
Like trying to beat me, and then I send them all over, and Kyle's like, which one doing, Kyle? Like, come on, you fucking bitch. Like, trying to be funny. And then I send them all over,
and Kyle's like, which one makes corn better?
Or, like, whatever the question is.
I'm like, oh, okay, never mind.
Disregard this big group of people.
They're just going to be standing to the side
and building things just out of your vision
to fuck with you.
But I can see, especially with Stiv, how that is,
because it obviously takes so much more time
than any of the RTSs we've played
because it's not really an RTS. It's like you have the
complexity of a board game
in there. Yes, that's the thing.
Because it's turn-based, you have
lots of time to mount this
strategy. I always have a different
strategy. It depends on who I'm playing,
who you're playing, and the map that we're
playing on. So I instantly,
at the beginning, I'm like, all right,
well, the goal is to get my army to go there,
and then I want a city here, here, here, here, and here.
All right, let's try to make that happen without the barbarians
raping our people or losing any cities early on.
And I've done it so many times now.
I've got 1,400 hours played on Steam.
Who knows what my real time is, because I think some of that is idle time
or perhaps games that were left running.
But I got more time in that than I do anything else at this point, I would say.
I don't know how many, many dozens of games that Chiz and I have played, and those games
are at least four or five hours apiece.
But yeah, I hope you got some time tonight.
I've been playing a little bit today, playing single player.
I love that shit.
It's so addictive.
Yeah, it's a fun game.
I really like strategy games like that.
If we ever have a nice
get-together meet-up kind of thing,
instead of poker, what we need to play
is Settlers of Catan.
Because it is that same hex
kind of configuration,
and it's just a much more simple version
of Civ, where you're building a Civ
and trying to get the largest army here.
You have to strategically place
your settlements
to what resources you get.
And the big difference between Civ and Catan,
other than the obvious complexity that Civ has over it,
is a tremendous amount of Catan.
The biggest thing of it is trading with other players.
And so it becomes fucking brutal.
And you have yelling matches.
If you play with competitive people
who just get screwed,
where I'll be like,
hey, Kyle, you want to trade me an ore for a brick?
And you'll be like, fuck you.
There's so much brick out here,
and I'll be like, all right,
well, I'm going to flip this knight
and destroy one of your cities
so you don't get any resources from it,
and you'll be like, oh,
so now I've got to give you a resource,
and I'm going to fuck you.
And I'm like, all right, yeah, you're right,
but now it's two ores, not one,
and people get so fucking upset at this game i've
seen like i've actually been at like gatherings where a bunch of my friends and i are drinking
and playing or whatever and it's like the second game of the night tensions are high and someone
will like get a road cut off and they'll just be like fuck it i'm going home fuck this god i'll
see you later whatever like it is that that's how intense it is. It would be fun.
No, I think it'd be...
This sounds like the kind of game I'd enjoy
spectating, not playing.
No, you'd have fun playing it.
I like being invested.
You have to play it tactically.
If I came off way too aggressive
and being like, I'm the Grand Poobah of Catan,
you guys would all know,
maybe not trade with Taylor right now
because it seems like he's got a scheme cooking up.
And if Kyle was being really aggressive or overwhelmingly passive,
you'd start being like, okay, he's being really quiet.
He's got something on his mind.
He's building up some cards in his hand.
I'm going to try and fuck him, ruin that.
But if Woody, as so often happens in this game,
there's just a couple of people who are just neutral.
They trade.
They're kind of just Switzerland.
And then everybody around him is like, oh, you're so fucked like i'm two turns away from
winning two turns and then the woody will be like oh all right there we go and that's longest road
all right guys good game and like that's what can happen in the game is because it's so shrouded
who's winning at a given point in time that it's always arguments of like oh no taylor's not winning
matt's clearly winning and then matt will be oh that's ridiculous taylor you would try and play
this game and convince everyone that i'm winning right it's a lot of fun a lot of
hard to discuss it when you're the only one who's played sorry about that yeah i'm interested though
yeah i would i would play a game like that um it is i uh i think the oh i know what I wanted to say Chiz wanted me to remind
everyone that if any of you have access
to any Battlefield 1 beta
codes you should send those
to the PKA business email
so that we can get a hold of those and
play some Battlefield 1 I think
the beta for that just opened up
like three big games coming out obviously
we got COD and I think we're all more
interested in COD 4 remake than anything.
And then
Civilization 6 is coming out.
You're going to want to pre-order that to get Montezuma
for free.
And then of course Battlefield 1.
So three big games coming
out pretty soon. I'm looking forward to that.
I'm excited for Battlefield 1 a lot. I can't remember
a World War 1 shooter I've ever played
that's been memorable. I don 1 shooter I've ever played that's been memorable.
I don't think I've ever played one.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever
played one either. It's interesting, because I don't even know,
I could name a bunch of World War 2
guns just from having played a ton
of video games about World War 2.
That sounds so
stupid, like, oh, new guns! But it is kind of
like new guns. We don't know what any of those
things are. It's going to be a whole different world of firearms than it was in world war ii
unless you're playing as the soviets in which case they just get the shitty weapons that were
left over in world war ii from world war one but um yeah that's gonna be a war or something yeah i
don't think i'm going to play the new cod at all off the start but I will play COD 4 if you can buy that separately.
Yeah, I'm going to play COD 4.
They got Zombies in Space or something
like that for the new COD.
You already did that.
I'll do it again.
The new COD is going to be
you have to buy the hardened edition.
It's $80 to get COD 4.
Correct.
I think what you want is just the $20,
but it's not.
You have to buy it all.
Unfortunately.
I've been watching a lot of Civilization 6 videos to get a feel for that.
It's quite
different from what we're playing right now.
I think there's going to be a lot
of learning for me to do early on.
I'm watching them play and I'm like,
I'm so confused right now.
This does not look anything like what it looked like before.
There's a lot of new stuff to do.
I was trying to watch a filthy video to kind of understand Civ better,
and he clearly knows what the fuck he is doing,
but also it's very difficult to follow along
when people use lots of nicknames for for texts or for units or
shit like that like i don't have the lingo and like yeah i don't know the lingo and so he'll
be like oh yeah just make gonna make a couple saps and then move over to to the you know uh
west tile virus i don't know but it's just i don't know where i was going with there i like west tile virus though yeah but it's it's i feel the same way like when i go into the hockey reddit which
is where i spend most of my time on reddit and they'll have like a thread talking about
gms or players from their team and they just use like stupid nicknames where they'll be like oh
yeah well if jonesy actually can uh stand up to to
ghost this year that'll be big for mr peanut butter it's like what the fuck are you talking
about we're trying to discuss hockey you're not part of some cool club because you refer to players
on your team differently if i just started calling tarasenko big t like i couldn't be a little
frustrated when people from every other fandom were like who the fuck are you talking about and
how are we supposed to have discourse when every other comment is someone elucidating
what they meant intentionally dude i have been paying attention to the blues lately and i wish
i was better with names because like in sports it's important to be good with names to sound
like you know what you're talking about but everything points to the blues being a sinking
team like they're far you're wrong you're wrong i think you might be looking at through a gross
colored lens there because i that that could be but uh i'll say that every hockey analyst disagrees
with you that not the i've been looking at several of them their farm team was rated like 25th best
like that's not good that's
especially not good when you've traded away you're like captain and what goalie and uh and and you're
counting on some like players yeah a couple aging so they've got aging they've got more than just
two aging players like even the guys they kept are not you know 23 years old we have one of the
youngest average team ages in the league that is a powerful
stat we also have uh petrangelo one of the best defensemen in the league taking over his captain
we have vladimir tarasenko will be in the next couple seasons the best score big t as i've
mentioned uh we got fabry and pareko two rookies that are looking good maybe they'll have a
sophomore slump maybe not jake allen is a very solidie. A lot of it's going to be contingent
on his ability to play well.
I think the Blues took a step back
because if they hadn't taken
this step back, they would have
basically sold their future three years
from now totally down the river. If they had
re-signed Backus and Elliott
and Brower, that would have been
so fucking stupid. I would have been
upset if they re-signed those guys
because they're all getting older, they're all past their prime,
and in three years, the teams they're on are going to be a little pissy
that they're paying them $6 million a year.
Or $6 million for Bagus, like $4 for Brower.
I feel like I'm losing this argument.
You're even turning me around.
I'm just saying, it seems like every story I read is uh bearish on the blues yeah uh they're usually
pretty rough on the blues because any team that's not pittsburgh chicago um those are the two
favorites i think they're losing toughness again i don't know the names well enough but they lost
did they lose some amount of toughness our captain davidus, is one of the best power forwards in the league,
or was, I guess.
Now he's been dropping off the last couple years.
But he's a really big, tough guy.
But I do like the direction the Blues are going now,
where they're quitting with the whole big, tough guy routine.
And they've noticed, like, hey, look at fucking Chicago.
See those championships?
Who's really tough on their team?
Goose egg.
Nobody.
Because what they figured out, better to be fast and skillful
and have a solid fourth line as opposed to having one where it's just a bunch of grinders
who just, you know, keep beating them down.
Because if you play a full 82-game season like the Blues do,
where they beat the fuck out of the opposing team every game,
that wears on your own body, and it gets you exhausted.
And then you get to the playoffs, and you're playing Chicago,
who's thrown a third as many hits this year,
and they just have more gas in the tank.
Maybe they'll be like Philly, you know,
where they're neither tough nor winning.
Yeah, where they're just not great.
I'm excited to see the Blues move towards that fast,
proven style of success from Pittsburgh and Chicago
instead of clinging to that old way of big, rough, tough Blues flyers,
maybe even, well, I guess LA a few years ago style hockey
where it's really rough and kind of dirty.
Yeah, it's entertaining to watch sometimes,
but I'd rather watch my team win when it matters instead of being like,
oh, yeah, but you saw that you guys, we totally fuck everybody up every time there's a fight.
Like, yeah, that doesn't really matter, though.
Who cares?
Or even, like, when you have a tough team,
and you might know this as well as I do,
you're like, all right, all right, all right, we're two games behind,
but that other team is so scared now.
We have a huge advantage now that we've established our physical dominance.
We're going to win, whatever whatever four out of the next six and uh then it doesn't happen and you're like fuck
if it was only a 12 game series you know then we would have lost by more because you wear yourself
out being the more physical team like that's why uh but you know the hope you know the feeling like
yeah you know that their guys we injured one of their better players with a clean hit or you know the hope. You know the feeling. Like, yeah, their guys, we injured one of their better players with a clean hit.
But you still lose.
You just lose.
Yeah, it's just I'm happy to see the direction they're going in.
I would have been very, very upset if they re-signed Backus, our captain, or Brower.
So many of my friends are telling me, oh, they should have re-signed Brower.
No.
Fucking mark my words.
That guy had one good playoff series last year. That's it. Look at his fucking
career stats. Nothing. Other than that, he's a good
leader because he's older and
that's it. Sorry. I like the
guy. He always looks like he knows the date
of your surprise birthday party, but he won't
tell you. He has like a face of like, oh
who knows? And I like that on the
ice because it's funny. And he scored the
series winning goal against Chicago
this first round of the playoffs, but that dude is going to underperform and not be worth the what 18 19
million dollar contract he just signed with calgary um yeah i think the blues will probably
finish third place in the division maybe top wild card don't mark my words you know but i don't think
they'll miss the playoffs i think the blues have a better chance of the playoffs than the Flyers.
I'm safe there.
You safe there?
Oh, yeah.
We'll see.
That would be truly astonishing if the Flyers made the playoffs and the Blues missed the playoffs.
You'll all get there before Atlanta does.
Yeah, unless you guys get a team again, and then nobody goes,
and then they move the team for a third time out of Atlanta.
Because they had the thrashers, and then they moved them,
and then they were like, well, we didn't really give it a go enough,
and so they moved the team back,
deprived poor Winnipeg,
just a little Canadian city who just fucking loves their team.
Like, they pack a fucking stadium every game to watch their
their worst team the second worst team in the central division and they just love it and then
they just go fuck you winnipeg we're going to atlanta where people don't know how to skate
or any of the rules don't just stand off sides
keep blowing the whistle as soon as we're about to score.
I saw a woman take a puck
to the head in the crowd. That made the game
all worth it. That was great.
I didn't even know it was possible. I was like,
there's not a big net somewhere?
They were like, well, there's a net over there,
but it doesn't stop everything.
I was like, what the fuck? That's crazy. What about us?
Are we in danger? Nah, we're good.
You'll know with an eighth of a What about us? Are we in danger? Nah, we're good. But if you do,
you'll know, like, with an eighth of a second
to spare when you are in danger.
That's how much time you have. It's like, it's coming!
Ah! That's it. That's all you got.
It's coming! Bam! That's all.
And then just blackness.
New topic?
Yeah, sure. XJaws is back. Have you guys watched
any of his videos?
Is he doing gaming stuff now? Or still, I guess?
So X Jaws has had a passion for years
about like...
I don't know how to phrase it. Future tech?
Right? He's into
pills that extend your life.
He's into, you know, batteries
that change the world. He's into space travel.
He's into just like
the... Yeah, I like Star Trek.
It's, um... Here, I can look. here i can look i use batteries four videos so far asteroid mining coming soon human carrying drones killer cells and life
extension and elon musk's super secret plan and uh um you like remember when he was on pka years ago talking about his information diet of
like steadily consuming documentaries on i don't know where the world is headed and uh he wanted
to like make a pill that extended life and and my criticism was always like well you know it's
really neat that people are working on that but are you qualified to do it too like but um now
he's making videos about it
more from like a fandom perspective like like i imagine he really really likes elon musk i haven't
seen that video yet he talked about asteroid mining and drones that carry humans the drones
that carry humans video like i thought in particular that was a real obvious next step
like the the asteroid mining thing is well i don't know i haven't seen his
videos um yeah i guess i guess i'll look into that but the problem is you know he's he's neither
qualified nor experienced in these subjects so what he's really doing is regurgitating
you know some science and former magazine stuff i mean like i
you see what i'm saying he's not a little bit like he's not from a stem
background where like he has anything black science guy made a tv show what is it called
hildegreis tyson cosmos and it was but it was produced by uh seth mcfarland okay so it'd be
a little bit like watching cosmos and then making youtube videos about what you learned in cosmos
like that's kind of what he does and um uh i don't
know i'm gonna give it a chance to mature see what's up but yeah that's great for him that
he's passionate about like i granted i didn't watch his old content so i don't know how it
would differ but it's good that he has something he's passionate about now obviously moved on past
gaming i just i'm always so hesitant of any kind of like oh
asteroid mining in six years or this that and the other in two years or just on reddit every other
day on the little if you go to the all page and science is up there without fucking fail some
tribe some samoan tribe found the proper mix of herbs and and oils to to alleviate this common problem or um scientists say there will
be no water in 2018 you know because of warming and it's like so much sensationalized like crazy
like off the wall it's just it's that same thing nasa does where they're like fuck people aren't
interested can we can we kind of make something up right can we yeah the futurology subreddit
seems to bleed over into the science subreddit sometimes. And I'm just like, wait a minute.
You guys have cured cancer three times this year.
All right, you cured AIDS twice.
I don't hear anybody shouting about it.
Like, I don't think you actually did.
Like, they really need to slow down with some of those announcements.
Yeah.
Because they're always announcing something spectacular and ridiculous.
When I hear asteroid mining, I immediately smell bullshit bullshit though, because it's so hard to do.
And as soon as you're able to do it though, you're kind of
plugged into so much wealth
that like, how do you even
it like reshapes the global economy
at that point, because some of those asteroids
are worth trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars
you know, like there'll be a chunk
of platinum the size of Australia
not the size of Australia, because that's how big Pluto is
but you know, there'll be a chunk of platinum the size of australia's not the size of australia because that's how big pluto is but you know there'll be a chunk of platinum the size of a county in georgia and it's like well that
sort of just ruins the entire global economy if all of a sudden someone has
more platinum 10 times more platinum than exists on this planet all of a sudden
yeah and it's not feasible because you know you got to fly up there and get the stuff and fly back
and you can't do that yeah i don't know it's just it's that same and it makes people doubt future scientific discoveries
when you've been inundated with all this sensationalist shit of like like you said
oh cancer has been cured mit scientists find cell responsible for a transition from hiv to aids
or you know they always use a word like uh scientist isolates
so and they're like they just they use sciencey words but then if you actually ever click on the
sources it's usually like from you know beth greenberg uh assistant you know secretary at
nasa's affiliate or like something it's just it's never that impressed it's the same kind of thing like remember al gore back when he was like by fucking 2008 we're out of ice game over dunzo no more ice none of that
no i invented the internet and i can tell you this we will have no ice in 2008 and then it came and
went and it was like you know you're actually kind of a dunce you idiot and he's like well
just because i was wrong in literally every
way doesn't mean that i don't have a point like made a lot of money yeah he made a ton of money
and he doesn't care enough to like shut down his own foot his global footprint or whatever they
call it he's such a sneaky manipulative fuck playing the the cares of others about the
environment into his own pocketbook that's what what he's doing. I'm not sure.
He doesn't have the footprint you say.
Apparently his mansion is
powered by renewable energy.
I think he pays enough money
to offset his carbon footprint.
He's having some
orchard of
trees planted in Guatemala to offset
his 747 trip to Australia
to speak. Literally hypocrisy.
I can live this way because I have the money to do it.
Everybody else, fall in line. Live the way I
tell you to live.
Maybe China can just build a bunch of forests
and then we can ignore the whole problem, right?
They are cutting a lot of their woodlands down.
They are. Yeah, I'm sure they are.
Dude, you don't feel like global
warming is a real issue?
Okay, so here's the thing. You don't feel like global warming is a real issue? I could be.
Okay, so here's the thing.
I laugh at people who say, look, it's hot out.
Global warming is real.
Or vice versa.
It's cold out.
Global warming is fake.
Dude, stop it.
It's one day, right?
Like, let it go.
Having said that, this year in particular, I've been really tuned into average temperature for the summer because I make these daily vlogs and sometimes I feel chased inside.
And internally, I'm like, what the fuck?
It's been 95 every day.
What's normal?
What's a normal high for this time of year?
And it's 91.
So I'm like, man, it's a freaking like four degrees hotter for an entire month.
Yeah.
And August, too.
It was too hot.
Yeah, it's been hot like i my
like i wasn't really meaning to go on to global warming that was just the first example of like
a sensationalized science thing that everybody bought into and then it was proven to be bunk
um all of his predictions were wrong i'm not saying that uh there's no such thing as climate
change or global warming or whatever it's being called now. Climate change seems like a weird thing to call it, though, because I don't know.
I won't even get into it because I don't know enough about it to know.
I just know that a lot of scientists seem to think that it's like the real question is, what can we do to fix it?
Like, is there something that can be done to fix it without plunging the world into a global economic crisis because we have to shut down
factories and all industry and hope that china carries their fair share and india stops you know
pooping in the road and doing whatever they do i will say this i'm sure you'd like it i feel like
they moved the goalposts a little bit right they went from global warming to like climate change
and now when it's like dude we got three feet of snow they're like yeah
that's the global warming really hot weather causes snow well hot weather causes drastic
weather yeah and and it's circular reasoning we have a lot of snow because we have global warming
because we have a lot of snow because we have global work because we don't have any snow because
we have global warming remember how much snow we had and now we know we for sure like no matter
what weather phenomenon is bothering you it's like the solution is the thing i'm trying
to get you to do yeah and i i can't see that but i'll tell you it just seems hotter i'm sure that
there is something that we are doing as humans like i'm positive there's no way we can have the
amount of industry we have on this planet and have zero impact on our environment. That's just silly. The real question is, what can be done to reverse this?
Like, what is the actual amount of emissions that need to be cut back
in order for this to not be a problem anymore?
And nobody has that answer.
And if they do have that answer and they say,
68%, that's how much emissions we need to cut back.
Okay, so we need to get the whole
world to grind down
68% of...
And this isn't just guys spraying hairspray
willy-nilly. This is fucking industry.
This is... Every aspect of life
is pouring out into the environment because
we're an industrious species who creates
things. You can't just close
a bunch of shit down and
it just doesn't...
There might be some low-hanging fruit out there.
Is there an answer? I don't know.
I would just re-map cruise ships.
Apparently, like, a cruise ship is worth, like,
five million cars, right?
And you're like, huh, well, why is that?
Well, as soon as they leave, like,
I'm going to make up the number,
I think it might be 12 miles offshore,
they switch to the dirty diesel
and they just pump, you know,
tons of garbage into the sky it's like oh well i don't know can you make it so that you can't burn that diesel anymore
maybe they just maybe you got to refine all the diesel now i don't know maybe i don't know like
i'm just like it's maybe there's some low-hanging fruit out there. I'm not sure. Elon Musk is inventing the solar panel roof tile.
Wow.
Such an innovation.
It only took him $5 billion of government subsidy to get that done.
I think the problem is always going to go back to India and China.
If the next time I need shingles for my roof, if it's at all,
I would love to have solar panels on my roof instead of shingles
when they need replacing it'll be ludicrously expensive because he's the only company that i
can afford to research it and the only one being funded by the government and so no real private
industry as a competitor to elon musk is going to be able to enter that sphere and drive that
price down you're definitely going to be right for it at first.
Someday, I wouldn't be shocked if it was commonplace for roofs to be made out of solar panels.
Like right now, like the flat roofs, like the tar ones, they're white, right?
And you can almost from the sky, I'm told, like look at Philadelphia
and the roofs with the white, the neighborhoods with the white roofs
are the ones that are well-maintained and they're like're like upscale because you know they're having money put in them the ones
with the black roofs those are the ghettos and you can see them from the sky i think you know
that might morph in solar tiles like oh yeah it's someday you know like homes and buildings and
businesses are going to have solar panels on the roof all the time. I hope. It'd be nice.
Maybe.
Who knows?
We'll see. I hope we get to see some
2012
style disasters
that come from global
climate change. Yeah, let's ramp it up
a little bit with global warming. Let's see something neat.
Remember the day after tomorrow?
I hope that doesn't happen on weekends, because that's when I
tend to fly my paramotor.
If you guys could just schedule your natural disasters
for a Wednesday, that'd be great.
I would like
a big natural disaster
that just kind of keeps going. One of those giant hurricanes
that freezes everything.
I'm fine with a hurricane. I'm in Missouri.
I'll just watch a periscope of it.
Everybody's freaking out.
But anyway, you guys want to call it?
Yep.
Painkiller Nearly, episode 107.
I hope you guys enjoyed it.
