We are live! Awesome! Welcome to PKN episode 27 with Kyle and I, chilling. I'm here in my underwear once again.
Same thing, yeah.
Are you?
Yeah, totally.
Dude, it...
I was working out late, like whenever we were picking a time and we said 8, I was like, oh, I've got an hour, I can work out, and then I can get a shower.
And I worked out for, like, 40 minutes or something, and I figured that was...
Getting ready for payball.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Like, I've got...
The elliptical I have, like, has this, like, super resistance, like, super incline mode,
so I'm just, like, it's, like, trudging through mud, and I'm just, like, it's awful.
It's so bad.
But the fucking...
I don't know why.
I've never, we have an enormous hot water heater.
I think it's 80 something gallons. That is big.
60 I think is big.
80 is quite large.
It was one of the bigger ones we could find.
It was enormous because Kitty's got this huge whirlpool jacuzzi tub that helps with her joints, I suppose.
tub that helps with her joints, I suppose.
I didn't know it,
but she had decided to use
80 gallons of scalding hot water,
apparently, and there was none.
There was zero hot water. I let it run
for 20 minutes, but I guess it takes longer than that
to refill.
I think next time around, I'm going to get one of those constant
hot water heaters. That seems like the way to go.
Yeah, we had that.
I had no illusions. I was pretty sure you would have that, and if not, water heaters that seems like we had that yeah yeah we had that i think that in your i i had
no illusions i was i was pretty sure you would you would have that and if not like we would make
that happen i actually don't have it in my new house but that's probably what i'll go with is
someone being fired because of that yet uh so probably as as they wear out and stuff we'll go
with the constant hot water heater.
I like it.
Okay, so for people who don't know, a hot water heater lasts about 10 years,
but the instant hot water things, they last about 20.
And that to me is the bigger deal, just not dealing with it.
Also, when the instant hot water heaters break, they tend to clog and not have enough flow.
When the kind that holds hot water in it breaks, they tend to leak.
And, you know, sometimes like a lot, like more than you'd want.
So I like that they last twice as long.
And I like the way they break without damaging your house.
So those are both good things.
Yeah.
But they cost more to install.
Hey, I had two things planned.
Of course, they're my bad joke.
And then I had a story that I found that like,
you know,
I read that story a couple of weeks ago and it kind of went well.
Yeah.
I have another one and it's much shorter compared to the first.
It's probably five.
Let's hear the joke first,
I suppose.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Two whales,
Bob and Brenda are swimming in the cold arctic water and bob spies a boat
he says it can't be what asked brenda see that boat in the distance brenda well that's the whaler
that murdered my parents oh bob that's awful quick brenda i have a plan you go portside i'll go
starboard we'll blow as hard as we can out of our blow holes and sink the boat. So Bob and Brenda positioned themselves to either the side of the boat and
they blow with all their might.
And sure enough,
the sea turns to foam.
The boat capsizes and the sailors are thrown into the sea.
Brenda turns to leave.
He says,
wait,
where do you think we're going?
We're not done yet.
We have to eat the sailors.
Look,
replies Ben and Brenda.
I don't mind doing the blow job,
but there's no way I'm swallowing the semen.
That's funny.
You saw where it was going.
Yeah, yeah.
Pretty good.
Not bad.
A little bit of killed some whalers in the mix.
I like that.
Nobody likes whalers.
Yeah, so that was a good one.
I like that.
Hey, before you tell your story, we should probably mention that,
is there going to be a PKA this week?
No.
Yeah, we canceled PKA this week.
So it's, do we talk?
I don't know.
I want to throw you in it.
Yeah, let's throw you out.
Kyle's traveling.
Kyle's going somewhere for YouTube.
Yeah, I'm going to Texas.
Yeah, I'm going to Texas.
I don't think I can actually say exactly what
i'm doing i think there's an nda or something but i'm going to do some cool stuff in texas uh
very good this week and um uh yeah i basically with kyle not there it's tougher and tougher
to do the show so we decided to delay the show this week i think what i'm going to do
this is my plan i'm going to tweet out that we canceled the show think what I'm going to do, this is my plan. I'm going to tweet out that we canceled the
show, and then I'm going to do a reading
mean tweets on Saturday instead
of PKA.
Because I'm sure that the
response will be harsh.
I don't know. I think the last PKA
went over pretty well. Maybe they'll be forgiving
in light of that.
So people say, like, I
claim top 10 episode way too often, but I think I've, yeah, it's fun. So people say, like, I claim top 10 episode
way too often,
but I think I've done it
two or three times.
Yeah,
it seems like you do it
like every other week.
You've done it like
three times total.
Yeah,
yeah,
and I certainly don't think
I do it more than like
more than one in every 10 shows.
So,
but,
you know,
when I do do it,
it's what I think
is a good show.
Like,
we wrapped that one up
and I was like,
drop the mic. I think that one was a winner. And this is a good show. We wrapped that one up and I was like, drop the mic.
I think that one was a winner.
And this time I was right.
I forget.
There was another episode where they didn't agree.
But this one, they did.
So if we're going to have an episode last two weeks, that would probably be a good one to do.
Yeah.
We'll come back and have a nice episode in two weeks then.
Yeah.
We'll crush it.
It'll be awesome.
and have a nice episode in two weeks then. Yeah, we'll crush it.
It'll be awesome. And the next PKN
should be on schedule because I'll be
back by like Sunday or Monday and we should
be able to get it.
Yeah, yeah. It wasn't just a matter of
Kyle being out of town one night. If it was, we'd
work it out. Yeah, it's
I'm leaving. There's just no way
to do it. There's no way to squeeze it between
this show and me flying out. Yeah,
trust me, we worked with Kyle and Kitty on every every action every angle and it can't be done so um so that's
that's how that is hey so i guess was it two pk ends ago maybe i read a story and uh yeah and it
went really well and this one's much shorter but it was so compelling and well-written to me that I thought I'd share it.
Have you seen the one about the guy in the robbery on Reddit?
No, no.
Should we just get right into it?
Sure, let's hear it.
All right, so it was an Ask Reddit question.
And the guy said, what's the best true story you can tell me about your life?
And this guy was compelling.
I saw that post. I didn't read his thing. I'm sorry. Go ahead. Okay. All right. So what's the best true story you can tell
me about your life? At the young and tender age of 23, I took a road trip with my sociopathic
friend and drug dealer to buy some weed. The little town I lived in at the time was almost
completely dry. And I figured I could buy a few ounces and be the hero of the town for a week or
two. I had been sober for about a month and ready to break that record in a big way. So I went and
bought three 40 ounces to drink on the way. It was like a two hour drive. I don't condone drinking
and driving. So I let my friend take the wheel while I finished all three. All the way down there,
my friend was talking about robbing someone to make his rent in that half joking kind of way
that he always did. And I laughed it off.
Selling drugs is probably way more profitable anyway.
He agreed.
And just the kind of guy that like,
I'm sorry.
He's just the kind of guy that liked violence.
It's he just wants to rob someone cause he likes pirates.
When we arrived at the first stop,
I stumbled out of the car and drunkenly bought what I came to get.
As soon as we got back in the car,
we promptly smoked to the point where
the edges of my vision started to go white.
He tells me that we still have one more stop
to make. I bought some meth with him.
He brought some meth with him.
So, I'm sorry, what'd you say?
He brought some meth with him?
He brought some meth with him that he needed to sell.
Shit. Well, in for a penny, in for a pound.
We show up at this house that
screamed meth house at the top of its lungs.
One window had been replaced by a garbage bag.
The paint was peeling.
The lawn was weeds interspersed with irregular patches of dirt, like my house.
And a single striped pickup truck that smelled like raccoons had been using it as an orgy den for years.
I started to get worried.
My friend, Kyle, says,
Don't worry. Just try not to look like a cop.
And in case shit gets crazy, here, he hands me a knife.
I would like to point out at this time that I'm not a fighter.
I'm a short by Midwestern standards, pale, suburban, pretty boy, straight A, pacifist stoner.
This is not my element.
Kyle makes his deal while I sit down and talk to the meth heads.
I don't remember much.
I was insanely twisted already.
A pretty girl passes me a pipe.
I don't understand how it works,
but I don't want to be rude,
so I try to take a small hit.
People yell, I'm doing it wrong.
Pretty girl smiles at me and lights it for me
and tells me exactly how to smoke it.
It's not as harsh as I would have thought
and tastes nothing like so much as just bland chemicals.
It feels amazing.
I hardly feel the alcohol in the weed as I take another hit each time it's passed.
I wonder vaguely who's paying for all this as people add more crystals and I smoke it greedily.
Eventually, Pretty Girl and I go to a large closet to fool around.
I'm horny, hornier than I've ever been in my life, but I can't for the life of me get an erection.
Not just that, the thing had looked like it shrunk,
retreating into my body more than I thought possible.
I start to freak out.
She tells me not to freak out.
I freak out anyway.
I find Kyle.
He's smoking meth with his own group.
I ask him if the meth is killing my dick and he laughs.
Sometimes that happens.
You just need to relax here.
Here, he gives me four little pills.
Xanax.
He says, now take one or two now and save some from when the meth wears off.
Direction's unclear.
I take four.
I go to find the pretty girl, but she's now having sex with a near toothless dude.
Damn.
Me and Kyle leave.
I drink for an hour.
I'm sorry.
We drive for an hour in manic conversation.
Both of us talking.
Neither of us listening.
Kyle wants to do a home invasion. Maybe we can rob a liquor store. Does that sound fun? He asks. Everything sounds fun
on meth, but I pass anyway. I'll wait in the car. I feel foggy. Maybe the Xanax or the alcohol? I
figure meth will clear away that fog. Kyle goes to rob someone while I stay in the car, finishing
off the meth. Holy shit. He's back. How'd it go?
They were closed.
They wouldn't let me in.
Quick.
That subway has the back door propped open.
Drive.
I drive.
They're taking trash out the back.
Two girls.
We have to be quick.
Come on.
He hands me a baseball bat and takes me and takes a machete from somewhere in the back.
We've been driving with those the whole time.
I can't think at this point, so I follow orders.
I'm good at that. We're waiting outside at the propped open door and Kyle looks at me and says, now,
as soon as you see the girl, run up and pop that bitch in the back of the head with the bat.
I'll run in and take care of the other one. My mind gives me one small burst of thought.
I can't do that. Why the fuck not? He looks disgusted. What do I say? She's a girl. I don't like violence. This is crazy.
I'm not this person.
Look, there's two girls and no car in the parking lot.
At least one of them is probably waiting on a ride from a boyfriend or husband or something.
He considers that.
That was clever.
A girl walks in out the back door.
Kyle twitches.
I grab his arm.
I have a better idea, I say.
I'm used to a night audit at a hotel.
There's probably just one guy sitting at a desk alone, I say. I'm used to a night audit at a hotel.
There's probably just one guy sitting at a desk alone, bored, and probably stoned.
We could walk in, rob him, and no one has to get hurt.
No risk, he agrees.
We find a hotel.
I'm nervous.
He pulls out one more crystal of meth.
We smoke it, still nervous.
We smoke some weed, still nervous, but I'm excited, feeling alive. This could be fun. This time, I take the machete. I don't like the idea of Kyle having it. Still nervous. We smoke some weed. Still nervous, but I'm excited. Feeling alive.
This could be fun. This time, I take the machete. I don't like the idea of Kyle having it. Besides,
we won't need to use it. Two people with weapons against one guy without. He won't fight us. He'll be scared. I'm scared. There's a back room behind the office with the guy. Kyle goes in the back.
I go to the front to distract him and get the phone so no one calls the cops. What the fuck
do I do with the machete?
It won't fit in my pants.
I drop it outside.
I won't need it.
No one's going to get hurt anyway.
I go in and talk about room prices.
I say I need to use the phone to call my wife.
Why?
I pretend to use the phone.
Crash!
Kyle broke in the back.
There's a second man.
Oh shit!
They're fighting over the bat.
Rolling on the floor.
The first man screams,
Call the cops!
Oh shit!
Oh shit! Oh shit, oh shit,
oh shit, oh shit. I stand there until Kyle calls my name. Now everyone is looking at me. I still
have the phone. I hand the phone to the first man and say, here, call the cops. I'm not a very good
robber. I join the struggle to take hold of the bat. I get the bat away from both of them and now
I have the bat. Everyone's looking at me again. I drop the bat. I tell Kyle to run.
He runs.
I follow.
He's bleeding.
He runs into a cornfield.
He has the keys to the car.
What the fuck?
So I run too.
The cops show up, but I get away.
There are cops all over town, patrolling and looking for me.
One sees me, I run.
Backtrack.
Evade him.
I try to sleep under a car in a junkyard.
Cops with dog enter junkyard.
I run again. I hear barking junkyard. I run again.
I hear barking.
Stop!
I run anyway.
I crawl through a small ditch to get across the field.
Find Walmart.
I buy new clothes.
Wash myself in the bathroom.
Change behind the dumpster.
I see the cop in the store as I'm leaving.
I walk.
Be calm, be calm, be calm, be calm.
Away as the cop leaves the store.
He gets in his car and follows me.
I see a girl smoking outside a hotel.
Nothing suspicious about two people smoking outside a hotel, right?
I hit her up for a light.
We smoke as a cop drives past slowly looking at us.
She flirts with me.
Is she fucking crazy?
I flirt too. I ask, what's with all these cops in a small town like this?
Oh my god!
They came and talked to me earlier.
These two guys robbed a
hotel down the road with baseball bats holy shit that's scary i know i'm glad you're here actually
the girls felt protected by him i try not to laugh or cry i rent a room can't sleep realize my phone's
in the car and the car is at the hotel realize i'm going to prison. In the morning, I feel like my soul has been beaten and stabbed.
My mind hurts.
My spirit hurts.
My legs hurt.
I buy some sushi and turn myself into the police.
Cal got away and fled the state.
I got four years probation.
That was two years ago.
The entire experience is the most surreal and terrifying thing
that I've ever been involved with.
Too long didn't read.
Alcohol, weed, meth, Xanax, and a failed armed robbery. Wow. real and terrifying thing that i've ever been involved with too long didn't read alcohol weed
meth xanax and a failed arm robbery wow there's a follow-up go ahead hold on i'm looking for it
i used to be cool i swear um the guy said what happened to you next he said not much i've been
sober for two years now and i'm back in school studying biome i'm sorry back in school studying biomedical engineering
well that was pretty outrageous that was a pretty good story yeah i could definitely see how he got
there although he should have really he needs a kyle's an asshole first of all that kyle guy like
he's a real motherfucker he's like robbing talking about home invasions and robbing people for fun
like what kind of motherfucker is that like that's crazy you don't want to mess with that's you don't
want kyle in your life no yeah like you said he just likes violence he's like let's do a home
invasion he wanted to like beat girls with bats and machetes.
You don't have to do that.
You want to know how to take out a girl?
Hold her wrists.
That shit works.
They appear to be helpless to the double wrist hold.
Oh, fuck, there's no counter for this.
That's...
What were you, four years, you said?
I'm sorry, what?
Four years?
Oh, he said it was...
He's been sober for two years,
and he's back in school studying biomedical engineering.
But how much jail time did he do?
Zero.
He got four years probation.
Oh.
Oh, that's not as bad then.
I heard jail at first for some reason yeah okay he at one point
said i realize i'm going to prison maybe you just yeah yeah yeah i i thought he was too that
sounded awful that's rough so anyway that was the story that i had prepared for uh for pkn
i hope you people like it.
Yeah.
I don't think I've ever,
uh,
had an eye quite like that.
That's,
that's a good one.
No.
Yeah.
I'm trying to think like it,
what's the best true story you could tell me about your life?
Um,
sucks.
And the,
the trouble with that question for me is,
it's certainly one that I've told already.
Yeah.
It's probably a suicide attempt or something
but you know we've covered that several times on my channel so um met i don't understand the
meth thing anyway i was talking to some guys one time they were and i was like meth came up and
cat and like passing and i was like not even once am i right because you know that that whole ad
campaign right right not even once and they're like? Because that whole ad campaign. Right, right.
And they're like, oh, I did it once.
And the other guy's like, yeah, a few times for me.
And I'm just like, where the fuck am I right now?
I gotta get out of here.
I'm not hanging around with people who do meth once or ever.
That's just a ridiculous decision
to make.
I would not make that decision.
I definitely am never going to do meth.
Things would have to get rough. Things would have to get rough.
Things would have to get really rough.
I did a heroin stories video once
that I thought was really good.
I'm looking.
It got almost a quarter million views.
But I don't think I've ever done a meth video.
Heroin and meth, not the same thing.
But yeah, that was pretty cool i was hoping we was uh
going i was gonna talk about the weather oh i was gonna ask you if this weather's gonna hit you at
all yeah it was snowing on the way home i feel like there it's much ado about nothing you know
like so the forecast here is that it's gonna snow for a couple hours and i should go look at it
and then it's gonna turn to rain which it probably look at it and then it's going to turn to rain
which it probably has by now
and then that'll be it or freezing rain but whatever
and I'm like dude it's not even going to build up
or anything it's nothing hold on
yeah I'm checking to
it says it's snowing here let me
I'll wait for it to come back
I just slid away and looked at the
window yeah the ground is just wet and possibly icy. Almost definitely icy. It says it's
snowing. It's actually snowing. Go peek and see.
checking the weather what does it say it's doing it says it's snowing but it's not i use the window technique
confirm that it's not snowing but i can see that it's freezing freezing rain
which should make for a really yucky morning. We'll see what tomorrow morning brings. This is kind of cool.
My, um, this is what it looks like when it snows on an iPhone, which is an unusual thing
to me.
Look, it makes it snow, but it's not snowing.
Yeah, I have a, oh, it doesn't do that.
That is cool.
I've just got a little thing that snows.
oh it doesn't do that that is cool i've just got a little thing that snows um what was i gonna say uh yeah so it's snowing all the all the guys working on my house left a
few hours early and i'm like well you know jackie's like you gotta come home you gotta go home
it's snowing and i was like baby such things do not concern me. I, I'm here making sure that the house goes as long as it'll go.
I'm not going to be the weak link in this,
this productivity chain.
And,
uh,
she's like,
Oh,
but it's gonna,
there's no way there's going to be enough snow to stop me from getting home in my truck.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Like I'll just,
I'll slow down.
I'll put on an audio book.
I bet a foot would do it.
Even then the roads are going to be packed and stuff.
It's not a problem.
It's just not a problem.
So, yeah, I'm just, I was like, I'll just, I'll make it home.
It won't be a problem.
We'll do this.
And sure enough, it was pretty much a boring trip home.
That's good.
Afterwards, I brought her home like a puppy who had urinated on the floor.
I'm like, honey, look out the window.
Look out the window.
There's like a little dusting of snow in the grass
with the grass itself popping up through the snow
and all the roads and pavement
has not accumulated yet.
I'm like, this is the thing you texted me six times over.
Look at that.
Like, honey, you gotta chill. She's like, this is the thing you texted me six times over. Look at that. Honey, you gotta
chill. She's like,
oh, you should have seen all the wrecks I got into
just in the front yard from that snow.
That snow really messed
me up out there. I was all in the grass
and sideways.
Can't see her hanging on that.
She's become a southerner
now. She's completely incapable of
even the smallest bit of snow
you know like i'm from down here but i've never understood that people would freak out
and i would want to drive around and like look at stuff like i was like just slow down just slow
down and just look at what you're driving on you can see there's you know even when it's icy there's
that patch in the middle where you keep your tires that's that's broken up and wet stay there yep and you
know like there are times when it's really really bad like i remember in new jersey there was a whole
intersection that was all ice and the ice was like an inch thick it wasn't like hints of ice like it
was it was like a frozen lake in an intersection it's a really bad spot for a frozen lake and uh
the town had to come and like like I think they shut down the intersection.
There were so many accidents there.
In my head, I'm like, they need a giant blowtorch, right?
Just some sort of massive engine that points downwards and blows flames or something, like the back of an F-15.
I would think a steam hose would be the way to go.
Your way is certainly more viable
than the $20 million engine that I came up with.
Well, I saw a thing on Reddit
where they took like two MIG engines
and they mounted them onto a tank.
Yeah, I've seen that too.
They used that to blow out oil wells.
Yeah.
That sounds really cool.
You know, as a kid, that job was never presented to me as
one of the options right what's that well it was like you could be a bus driver you could be a
doctor you could be an engineer you could be you could fight oil oil well fires yeah no one ever
offered like you know well you could drive a tank into oil well fires and shoot mig engines at it
i would have totally lumped onto that one.
Well, I think that's a Russian military gig.
I don't know if that one's open to you.
You'd have to become Russian and then join the military
and then be assigned to that particular unit.
And then you'd actually have to be the driver.
It's a long shot.
I just kind of wish that they...
Career advisors could
do a better job than just pointing you
towards the big ones. Oh, for real. Yeah.
Yeah, I would like that. You know, if they
were just really
ridiculous about it, they just picked some really
obscure job.
Have you thought about fighting oil well fires?
No!
Well, you should. You know,
there are jobs out there that you might like more than the normal like you
know hey someone like you i mean you're the kind of guy we want to send in there to fight those oil
well fires because if something happens i mean let's face it there's a lot more of you
you're a horrible guidance counselor well i mean i I feel like, you know, it goes back to that old saying, the world needs ditch diggers too.
You know, the world needs oil well fighters.
I mean, you know, at least the first wave of guy.
I'm thinking you need a guy who's tough, gruff, fearless.
That's what I'm looking for.
You're looking for someone who's expendable.
Well, I think I like those first couple of qualities you listed,
but expendable on top of that.
I think you want all those things.
Because you wouldn't want to send Jeremy in there.
He could blow the oil well up.
He could make it even worse.
You definitely want someone who's trained,
but you don't want someone who, if you lose them,
it's going to be the end of the world.
You want to send your expendable personnel in there.
That seems like a horrible job.
I feel like you could easily get, like, burnt really badly.
I don't want to do any of those jobs where being burnt alive is an option.
I guess mine kind of has that in there a little bit.
More so than a lot, actually.
Well, based on that video I sent you the other day, yeah.
I wasn't sure if I could mention it.
Yeah, that's not your only heavy flame video.
Oh, that's going to be cool.
I'm trying to film that tomorrow, but I don't think it's going to work out.
So I may have to film it when I get back from Texas.
But I'm going to film that as soon as possible.
I've got tons of different things to shoot out of that thing. I'm thinking to film that as soon as possible. I've got tons of different things
to shoot out of that thing.
I'm thinking about doing a bunch of ninja swords
all at once, like something insane like that.
So I'm having fun
with that. Like I said, I made Napalm today.
That was a first. I had never
done that before.
You mixed styrofoam with gasoline.
And then what is the...
Go on. I made two different kinds.
Neither one of them are the good kind.
I think I'm going to make...
If it gets pushed to the third
to a week from now, I'll make legit napalm.
What I did today was I did two different kinds.
One was with styrofoam
being dissolved into the
gasoline.
The other was a mixture of citronella oil and powdered
sugar. That makes a paste that's super flammable and sticky. What you really want to do from
what I understand is mix a precise ratio of low octane gasoline, benzene, and aluminum
powder or magnesium. I have all those ingredients except for the benzene. I powder or magnesium. And I have all those ingredients, except for the benzene.
So I got to order a couple liters of that.
It's like 75 bucks a liter.
So if I get that, then that burns at 1,200 degrees.
That's napalm.
It's just a really, like, it's like gas in the way it burns,
but it's sticky, right?
Hotter.
And hotter, yeah.
And it's hot.
It's almost like a super flammable Elmer's glue.
Yeah. Am I right?
I think it's more viscous.
It's less viscous than Elmer's glue.
Really?
Yeah.
Huh.
Yeah, I've never played with napalm before.
I haven't either.
I'm going to have some fun.
So the napalm you made today, you lit it though, right?
Yeah, I lit it.
It burned well it it burned well
and it burned hot but it's nothing like
I didn't add magnesium
or aluminum powder and I don't have benzene
so I couldn't really get the
legit kind it worked well and I think
it'll be it'll work well for
for my purposes if I
can film tomorrow but I'd like the
legit thing because I really want to melt
stuff with it I want to set up a bunch of mannequins,
maybe a car, and just hit them with it.
It's going to be cool.
That does sound cool.
I'm so jacked about the paintball, man.
I really am.
I think we're just going to...
Taylor hasn't gotten back to me.
It's been like five days
so I just had to move forward
because the paintball field was weighing on us.
I think we're going to do it's been like five days so i just had to move forward because the paintball field was weighing on us so i think uh we're gonna do it april let me pull up my calendar here april uh
11th and 12th if we do a two-day thing huh it's the uh the second weekend in april is oh that's my problem yeah 11th and 12th yeah i like that that gives me like um
let's see it's in february mark it gives me two solid months to get my cardio jacked up to
fucking unprecedented levels you're crazy with this i've been stretching i'm stretching i'm
waking up at 7 in the morning
doing stretches.
I really want to do the cartwheel
and shooting, but that seems unrealistic.
I definitely want to be able to
be as fast as
15-year-old kids who are sprinting
and being able to be super fast
and get around and flank people.
I can't be one of those slow guys in the back.
That's just not me. I've got to be fast.
I'm running every day.
I'm working out. I'm lifting weights too.
Lots of cardio. I'm hitting the heavy bag.
It's going to be good.
I'm really looking forward to this thing.
I've got my gun coming, all kinds of accessories.
By the time I'm done with this gun setup,
I'm hoping, my plan is to be able to say in the video
that I have the most expensive paintball
set up ever assembled.
You might.
That's the kind of overkill we're talking about because I'm rolling in there with a
$1500 gun, going to stick a $200 barrel on it, a $200 hopper on it, 10 mags all over
my body.
My vest will be a couple hundred bucks, my tank will be a couple hundred bucks, my remote
line will be like a couple hundred bucks. My tank will be a couple hundred bucks. My remote line will be like $50.
My stock, I'm putting an AR-15 stock on it.
It's like another $200.
I've got...
Scope?
Yeah, the scope.
That's when we get expensive.
I've got lots of options.
I've got a couple of scopes that are anywhere from like $500 to $3,000,
somewhere in that range.
But I just started working with this company,
and the way that they've worked with other YouTube channels
is they've been really free with giving their product out
for people to review.
And so it seems like it's all but sewn up
that they're going to hook me up with an $8,000 thermal scope.
It's forward looking
infrared.
It's a 3 by...
It goes down to 3 power and up to
16 power or something like that.
Really large aperture.
You're going to be able to see the difference.
If somebody's got a mustache, well, they'll have a paintball
mask on. But if they didn't have a mask on, you'd be able to see
if they had a mustache from 50 yards
black of night from their body heat.
It's got lots of modes.
You can go like black can be the hot, white can be the hot.
Is infrared helpful in the daytime?
Yeah, it works in daytime too.
Yeah, totally.
But I'm going to turn it on to predator mode so that like the hotter something is, the different temperatures are represented by different colors.
Blue and green are the cooler temperatures
and red, yellow, orange on the face.
Just like in the movie Predator
when the thing's in the woods and stalking the guys
and it sees their body heat.
I'm going to make videos like that.
My paintball video is going to have a GoPro.
I'm going to try it two ways.
With the GoPro looking straight through the scope
and getting that thermal view. But the good thing about the thermal scope
is it has an onboard digital recorder, so I'll be able to record
straight to a hard drive that's mounted to the gun.
I think that's going to be really cool. Oh, and then I'll stick it to another
$2,000 site on top of that that I'll actually look through, because the GoPro
obscures the
view from the thermal scope. I think I'll end up with a $10,000 paintball set up.
Which is insane.
It's ridiculous.
That's how you do it?
I'm going to have a lot of fun at this paintball event so i think we'll get i hope we'll get a couple hundred kids i'm hoping that we bring enough fans that they give us like two or three
of our own referees and just let us go do our own thing and like oh yeah we're gonna play on this
field by ourselves and this field by ourselves because that's what we've done in the past and
that's awesome it's fun that way too yeah and it becomes like a little community and everyone kind
of likes each other and they're i don't know they're excited about playing together as opposed
to like a stranger awkwardness type thing yeah totally
and it doesn't take long before like i've memorized people's jerseys and who's who's
under that mask and you know i make a few friends and a couple guys that i can run with and it's
gonna be a lot of fun one of the events one of the guys told me about skyrim he was like you know
yeah the game i'm really looking forward to is Skyrim. And I hadn't even heard
of it. I'm like, Skyrim?
Because it was dropping near a COD release.
And he's like, yeah,
it's the same people that made this. It's going to be
huge. And Skyrim still has
legs. Skyrim is still an interesting game years
later, which is
interesting in itself.
I heard Bethesda's going to
have some announcement coming up
sometime soon.
Everyone thinks it's gonna be Fallout 4.
Fallout 4 or another Elder Scrolls title.
Either way, that's a winner.
That's gonna require a new gaming PC.
What was I gonna ask about?
I wonder if Evolved turned out
to be good or not.
Evolved? With no d though just evolve yeah it's from the makers of left for dead and i'm a big fan of that game they made something called
evolve and if you've ever played left for dead the versus mode it's kind of like that where it's
unbalanced there's one like super powerful monster and four guys and the monster's job is to like
level up before they catch him and the people's job is to you know chase him down and get him and i haven't played
it but it seems super interesting to me hmm well i hated left for dead so i was just i i i think the
issue was yeah we were new to pc gaming at the time i think but on top of it it's just so twitchy and
just it feels like everything's just all over the place it seems so fast paced and i i really don't
like when like when stuff dies like it's hard to even tell when you get a kill i don't know it's
just there's just so much gunfire and it's hard to control the guns and i don't like there's no
aim down sights right right i don't know there are a few things there's no aim down sights. Right, right. I hear you with the no aim down sights,
although there is with one of the weapons.
Because you're dealing with hordes all the time,
I think the gameplay is better without it.
Makes sense.
If you're trying to kill one guy,
then aim down sights is ideal.
If you're trying to kill a horde,
shoot from the hip.
I got to stay on the paintball thing
so because I've been because what I want to do here is I have kinda been
inspired by watching
some a wolfs videos not in the ones he makes her are really cool I like those a
lot but he does this top five like paintball plays video
and I didn't realize that was a thing so apparently what has happened is the
paintball community has had kind of stolen some cues from the call duty
communities book and they're kinda having a situation like we had maybe has happened is the paintball community has kind of stolen some cues from the Call of Duty community's book
and they're kind of having a situation like
we had maybe five years ago where
there was a lot of diversification in
COD videos. People were getting better video
equipment, audio equipment. They were
doing live commentary
or putting graphics on the screen
to keep up with the kill count and stuff
like that. Just diversifying
things, making your videos stand out. And people are doing that with Paintball too. And I want to make some
of those videos. I think that would be really fun.
It's interesting to see the difference in the production quality, right? You've got
some guys who have nothing but crappy audio and a GoPro. And then other guys who are doing
voiceovers. And then other people who do voiceovers and overlays with kill counters. And other
guys who do voiceovers, overlays with kill counters and other guys who do voiceovers overlays kill counters and multiple camera angles multiple camera angles sometimes
they've got a cameraman but there was that one guy we saw who had it's hard you explain it he had uh
he had he had a gopher mount on his gun which pretty straightforward and it looked like the
or maybe it was his head but it was a first person shooter and then he had a third person shooter aspect too so it looked like he
had something mounted to either like maybe the his waist and his belly and it came up in an l and it
was an over the shoulder view of him and what he was looking at and as he walked through doors you
could like turn with him and it was really neat
To have it was like like there was a drone following him over his back shoulder
Cameras right here and when he would rotate his hips it would you know turn with his hips because it's mounted to his hips
And it would flip back and forth from first-person shooter the third-person shooter as he did his thing to whichever one showed
what he wanted
better and uh it was it was like wow you know and people were just distinguishing themselves
with production quality much like happened in gaming yeah now i feel like that doesn't happen
in economy i feel like in gaming everyone's kind of peaked like everyone has great production
quality their video looks amazing because you're limited by the technology you're limited by what
the game allows you to do.
But I feel like with something like Paintball,
it's the real world. You could just fabricate
something that nobody's ever seen before.
Maybe you could get a drone.
Maybe you could actually get a drone that's following you around
and watching what you're doing. What if it was
10 feet above you, looking
straight down on your position? That'd be cool.
You would have a hard time succeeding in
Paintball if there was literally a drone doing effective call-outs on your position. That'd be cool There's not have a hard time succeeding in paintball if there was literally a drone doing effective call outs on your
There's a guy you and I played before with cameraman in like reflective orange like road crew vests
Pointing cameras at you and you're like well there goes stealth
Yeah, that sucks. That's it's they like, I wonder who that cameraman's pointing at
like this. Of course, it's me.
They know right where you're hiding and they come get you.
I don't want a cameraman. I do want a cameraman.
We're going to get a cameraman for this trip,
but he's not going to be with me
on my super sneaky stealth mode
missions. He'll be there when we're
in a group doing stuff and
speedball and stuff like that where the element of
surprise isn't the name of the game.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, yeah, where they already see you firing ropes or whatever.
Yeah.
But I'm going to make some videos like that.
I'll probably make some videos like that
before we do our thing in April.
I want to play.
As soon as that gun gets here,
I'm going to have to, like, go to Atlanta or Athens
and find some children. I can't get to play. As soon as that gun gets here, I'm going to have to go to Atlanta or Athens and find some children.
I can't get to work.
I'm glad you're so excited
over at me.
It's a trip I'll be taking. I don't know. It's just like a
weekend vacation I've got scheduled in April.
I'm not going to be training for two months in advance
to be ready for it.
Well,
here's some things you could get excited for.
Obviously, we're going back to Chicago.
We've got all that wonderful, wonderful food.
You've got Lou Malnati's pizza.
There's a Morton's there.
I'm all about that Brazilian steakhouse place.
There's the Brazilian steakhouse there.
There's also that place that does those Italian beef sandwiches
with the hot peppers and the sweet peppers.
And I don't know.
Everything there seems to be good.
I can't remember their name.
But there's like four or five restaurants there that I really do dig a lot.
And there's all those children.
Yeah.
There's all those children that they're going to rally up for us.
Yeah, we're going to hurt children, and that that's always fun i don't want to hurt them i just want to shoot them with my
paintball gun and that hurts it hurts it does yeah it's it it's good we'll hurt the children
if they bring their dads we'll hurt them too yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna make a video on um
maybe on both of my my channels maybe on the the Russia channel and the Morpheus Russia channel.
I want to get a bunch of people to come to this thing.
I'm definitely going to do a video review of that gun
whenever it gets here on my second channel
and show the accuracy
and show off the camera and everything.
I'm trying right now to...
We're working on getting a PKA or...
I don't know, whatever.
YouTuber, I suppose
we should say, like package so that our fans
are paying less than everybody else.
Right. And I'm also trying
to like
get them to let us use flashbangs and smoke grenades.
Isn't
flashbangs what killed that baby?
Alright, now
not those flashbangs.
We're not playing with babies i mean come on
i mean i wish that they won't they won't allow that yeah i mean imagine my kd ratio if we were
playing with babies literally infants sorry i had an overlay i didn't want there ah crap
i'm messing up the video there better
i'm sorry totally ruined the flow of the conversation. There. Better.
Sorry. Totally ruined the flow of the conversation. I
accidentally right clicked and chose something
off the desktop.
I haven't been to Chicago
in a while. I haven't
played speedball in a while.
I'm really looking forward to this thing.
I definitely am going to work out for the next three months.
I really want to be quick and agile and fast.
I'm pumped for this thing.
I was thinking of extending an invitation
to Joe.
I bet he'd like it.
Yeah, I know he likes paintball.
Yeah, it might be something he wants to do.
I've just been waiting for the dates to get locked in.
Yeah, well,
the dates are locked in.
So it's the 11th and the 12th?
Yeah, I'm like 95% sure on that
because they were just like, give us some dates.
I suppose they could have something going on then.
I'm not for sure tomorrow, I would think.
Joe's trying to fight three times this year,
so that might be around when he aspires to fight.
We'll see.
So we'll figure that out.
Well, all of you guys are technically
invited. I really hope we get a bunch of
PKA fans out there.
And I'm just gonna...
I'm actually sort of...
I'm considering
doing sort of a scenario.
I'm wondering what I'm gonna wear to this thing.
Because that's very important to me as well.
I'm thinking about customizing
my mask. I've got a couple of options.
I've got all these scary Halloween masks
that I feel like I could take apart and
attach to the mask
and turn the mask into something ghoulish with
hair or something like that.
But then I've also got a Russian
ushanka, like the Russian wintertime hat.
I think that would be funny to have attached to a
paintball mask.
And I've got so much tactical gear,
and a lot of it's compatible.
It'll work with paintballs.
I'm really...
I've been putting a lot of time and effort into the planning of it,
and I hope it's fun.
I'm going to get some sort of Rastafarian dreadlock hat
to mount to my mask.
I'm listening to the Game of Thrones book, some sort of Rastafarian dreadlock hat to mount to my mask. I want to...
I'm listening to the Game of Thrones
book and every now and then they'll talk
about one of the Baratheons,
whether it's Renly or
the king, and they'll talk about when they would go
into battle and he'd have this helmet
with foot and a half
antlers on it.
And I'm like, I kind of want
something like that.
It's funny, I'm reading, not reading reading but i'm listening to the game of thrones book and i'm following it and i still
don't fully know their names like uh okay here's a good example i just got to the part where they
killed denarius's brother and her his name is like versailles or versilies or vercami viserius
yeah aries verseries somehow this series this series somehow i managed to get through this
book and still not learn the names but follow it somehow like even though i can't just recognize
faces i'm like all right the v guy i know him you know that's her brother yeah he's blonde he's all
wispy like he's you totally tell who he is you don't need the names yeah yeah i i it'll be
interesting to see how i do once i surpass where we are in the movies but it's taking a while he
just now had the golden crown poured on his head ah yeah i remember that so that i like i was
getting in there i arrived at home i sat in the
car listened to that happen and that's where i am he was really talking uh he was really his mouth
was really writing some checks his ass couldn't he needed a good killing he was going off he was
like he was like i'll cut this baby out of her belly and leave it for you and just yeah just off i just and you're just everybody
in the room except for him knows that he's done fucked up even i as i'm listening to it i'm just
like oh shit oh not don't say that in the caldron go oh you could learn in english too don't oh no
the common tongue the narrator is like you know you could speak this tongue but
though someone some began to show no and you're like yeah man some of them speak
fucking valerian or whatever you're speaking right now like stop yeah common tongue
you're right and so he was totally delusional right in that he didn't really recognize his
place he had no idea he was getting
put down and in dothraki culture if you're not on a horse you're nobody he was walking and then they
didn't let him have a horse after that because they continued to embarrass him so they put him
on the car that's why he was walking they took his horse away yes but then they put him in a cart
which he thought meant he was you know like oh now finally it's something of worthy of his status but now
he's the cart guy and apparently that's insulting too and how he doesn't get cripples yeah right
and how he doesn't get that his place is is low in this society i don't know but here's the thing
so in his head he bought a dothraki army he said i'm giving you my sister right and apparently she's pretty cool and in exchange i get
a dothraki army but what's his name drago khan something like that call drogo call drogo call
drogo they don't have any concept of purchasing right to them you gave me a gift and in time i'll get you a gift but it's not like no one demands a gift of a call
right nor is a gift on any kind of timetable it's a gift it's not like he didn't view himself as in
debt because of this girl he was just like yeah i'll have to do something for him in return
and did we ever figure out what he was going to do in return? Was he going to have his army serve?
He was going to eventually give him, you know, some army, some number.
Because he gave him a gift.
Here's a thing that I get burned into my head.
As they're headed into that city, they're like, oh, you know what?
We don't want him to look bad, so we'll give him a gift.
And it was clothing that would make him look you know
like a well that wasn't from kyle drogo that was all danny was that all danny that wasn't
that was all danny oh yeah kyle drogo is not helping viserys uh get styled up he doesn't
give a fuck okay i in my head i thought drogo had something to do with that gift that it was his
idea and that um and i was like was that the gift did call drogo think he went he was even
now was was there ever going to be a thing where drogo would serve as his army i don't think drogo
was going to serve as his army i think i think i think that if viserys had come into that situation
and acted like more of a of what the the dracky think of as a man. If he had been respectable, if they'd been like,
oh, if they called him like the blonde call or something like that
instead of the cart call.
If he was curiously tough for his physique, if he had proven his merit.
If it was Robert Baratheon that came up in there,
they'd be like, oh, this guy's even bigger than Khal Drogo.
They'd be wondering if maybe this is the guy they need to follow.
Robert Baratheon is the king, right?
The original, yeah, he was the king in Ned's friend.
Yeah, but he was a big fatty.
Well, back in the day, though.
The Warhammer and all.
A young version of him, yeah, or the Mountain.
Yeah, well, that guy's just a monster.
That guy's so awful.
He gets worse as it goes.
Yeah, he's just getting worse all the time.
I'm almost done with book two, and he's just awful.
Oh, man.
I don't even know.
I could find out where I am on book one.
I'm definitely not keeping pace.
I keep hoping.
Every time I listen to it, I'm like, I wonder if I'm catching Kyle.
No, I'm falling further behind.
You're about 30 hours behind, I'd say.
30 hours, you say?
Well, how far are you into book one?
20 hours.
How much to go?
13.
Yeah, you're 35 hours behind me.
Good Lord.
All right.
So, 15 hours into tomorrow.
I'm just going to stay.
I'm going to go on a 24-hour marathon.
Yeah.
What are you going to do?
Yeah, I like that.
I like that.
I've seen the show, obviously, and I feel like I got the broad strokes,
but you really get the minutia when you listen to these audio books
or when you read the books.
Audible should sponsor us.
Audible should sponsor us. Audible should sponsor us.
I feel like
it would be good for them.
Yeah. Until they do
Pirate Bay that shit.
Yeah, absolutely. It's free.
It's 250 megabytes. All five
fucking books, man.
All five books. It's such a
tiny file. I thought it was going to be huge.
It's nothing and the audio
quality is lesser than the discs his voice sounds a bit hollow interesting yeah his voice is much
nicer and richer on the uh legit version i didn't mean 50 bucks a book i didn't so what happened to
me is i i downloaded the book and then realized it was the book, not the audio book.
And I'm like, well, fuck if I'm going to buy it twice.
That's all you get.
That's enough.
I'm going to download the book and then we'll start over with two.
So I download the book and it has one through five on there.
And I'm like, oh, my God, this thing is so long.
This five chapters.
And then I realize it's all five books.
And the one represents the whole book.
So I was like, oh.
Same thing happened with me.
I actually bought the first two.
I purchased the first two books.
They were $55 each, I think, for the audio discs.
So I technically haven't stolen anything yet yeah not till i get
to book three yeah no i i guess i technically have stolen given that i paid for the printed book
not the audio book but i don't care i just really struggled to navigate the app like you know i'm
going to the music store i'm buying it i buy game of Thrones, and then it's not what I expected to get.
And there isn't a real easy return.
Like, you can't be like, oh, my bad.
Like, with Amazon, there is.
With Amazon.
I don't know if I lost Kyle or not.
But with Amazon, like, if you buy something with one click, you have 30 minutes to undo that or change your mind or change the shipping or the payment method.
With iTunes, it's not like that. So Kyle, are you gone? Huh? I wonder if Kyle's gone. I'm going to text him.
No, let's call him. Let's call him on the show and see what we get. So pulling up his thing,
Kyle calling speaker.
Please leave your message for seven.
All right. Please leave your message for 7- Alright.
So, that didn't work out like I expected.
Um, we'll give him another minute.
Wow, wouldn't it be awesome if I had that story to read now?
Okay.
Okay.
I'm going to play my heroin stories video
because I think it's a good way to fill the time while maybe a few weeks ago I
took a risk on my channel did a video called cocaine stories where I expose
the realities of cocaine and the impact that it has on people now I'm doing it
again this time with heroin sometimes people think these videos are pro-drugs because they admit that they feel good before they feel very bad.
Please watch until the end before you leave your rating.
I recognize this first story has been on YouTube before, but no heroin video would be complete without it.
Let's get started.
The question was, what is heroin like?
And here's the response.
Actually, this is an obvious question, but it's not what you might think.
Let me explain it to you.
I've been an opiate addict for a long time, and I've tried many drugs.
Drugs that are uppers have the most obvious euphoria.
For example, if you take Adderall, Coke, meth, speed, MDMA,
you will get this shining, bright euphoria, self-confidence, energy, and other
drug-specific feelings. For meth, like you are king. For MDMA, like you love everyone. However,
you owe these drugs back what they delivered to you. After a meth binge, or lots of MDMA use,
or staying up all night on coke, you will feel like shit. To an extent,
this is similar to an alcoholic hangover. On the other hand, for people who experiment with
heroin, they are underwhelmed. Not including IV usage, but most experimenters rarely IV the first
time. They just feel good, chill, happy, but they feel like the spooky drug heroin hasn't delivered.
They're just mellow. Oh, and obviously it's all been a lie, they will this spooky drug heroin hasn't delivered. They're just
mellow. Oh, and obviously it's all been a lie they will think. Heroin isn't spooky.
It's chill. It's not addictive like everyone else thinks. It doesn't make you do stupid
shit or stay up all night and hallucinate like amphetamines or coke. It doesn't empty
your serotonin like MDMA or give you a hangover like alcohol. People tend to think, oh, what
a nice drug. So the next
day they wake up and everything is normal. No headache or shitty feeling, just a slight afterglow
of that nice feeling. Oh, and it was cheap as well. It only cost $10 for a whole night of being high.
I thought people said heroin was expensive. And then the next weekend comes. There are all these
drugs I could do, but I liked heroin. It didn't
fuck me up. I could still think clearly. No hangover. No feeling like shit later. I
was still awake. It just made me happy and content with life. Oh and it's only
$10. Well I should get some more for the whole weekend. This is great. I will use
heroin on the weekends now. Now let's say this person works and has
responsibilities. He knows he can't go into
work drunk or on MDMA or high, so he doesn't. It's actually simple. But heroin, the user might
actually find they do work better on heroin. Instead of being sad or grumpy or depressed with
his job, he is just happy, mellow, content. Everything is fine and the world is beautiful. It's raining. It's dark. I woke up
at 5 30 a.m. I'm commuting in traffic. I would have had a headache. I would have been miserable.
I would have wondered how my life took me to this point. This point I'm at right now. But no, no,
everything is fine. Life is beautiful. The raindrops are falling, and in each one, I see the reflection of every person's life around me.
Humanity is beautiful.
I'm in this still-framed shot of traffic on this crowded bus, and I just found love and peace.
Heroin is a wonder drug.
Heroin is better than anything else.
Heroin makes me who I wish I was.
Heroin makes life worth living. Heroin is better than anything else. Heroin makes me who I wish I was. Heroin makes life worth living.
Heroin is better than everything else.
Heroin builds up a tolerance fast.
Heroin starts to cost more money.
I need heroin to feel normal.
I don't love anymore.
Now I'm sick.
I can't afford the heroin I need.
How did $10 used to get me high?
Now I need $100. That guy that let me try a few
lines the first time doesn't actually deal. Now I need to find a real dealer. The guy is a felon
and he carries a gun and he can sell me the drug that lets me find love in the world. No, this isn't
working. I need to quit. To answer your question, heroin feels nice.
That's all.
It just feels very nice.
You can make up the rest for yourself.
Attach your own half-truths to this drug that will show you the world,
and for a moment, you will feel as clever as Faust.
And now my next letter.
All right.
Kyle wrote me.
I think he has a little story for what happened while he was gone.
Hang in there and we'll get him back.
All right.
I think he'll join in a moment. Hey, hey. Sorry about that that it's okay um what happened uh my power went out it was funny we
were we were talking about like stealing game of thrones and then fucking winter is coming and the
fucking power went out it's uh it's getting bad here i guess. I opened the door and it is not snowing, definitely.
It is freezing rain.
When I hear those raindrops fall,
they sound bigger and heavier than normal.
I can see all
the trees are super shiny.
I was like, this doesn't look good.
Then I heard like,
a tree falling in the forest.
This is going to be a good storm tonight.
Huh.
Maybe I underestimated it. I really wish I could film tomorrow because I bet like a tree falling in the forest. This is going to be a good storm tonight. Huh. Yeah.
Maybe I underestimated it.
I really wish I could film tomorrow because I bet everything is going to be all icy
like Winter Wonderland
and then you can get those 40-foot fireballs.
Are you traveling tomorrow?
No.
Maybe you can film tomorrow.
I'm working on it.
We'll see.
It's up to them.
I'm ready.
But yeah, pretty good storm going on right now
so power went out
I guess if I had one of those generators Chiz was saying
but it wouldn't have
I'd have still had the interruption
they take about 10 seconds
10 to 60 actually
is what I've been reading
I'm still torn on the generator thing
the cheapest option is a Pto generator that's the cheapest but it's tricky right because you have to
like mount it to the back of the tractor which means always me right jackie will never be
mounting generators to the pto shaft on a tractor i don't understand that so because all right
if i were jackie and and and and and I knew that decisions like this were being made because of, let's face it, my inability to perform a task, I'd be like, wait a minute.
I could fucking do that.
Come on.
Show me.
Show me.
Why can't Jackie be out there on the John Deere just like fucking making it happen?
It's kind of heavy.
You need to like kick things you've hooked up
things to a three-point hitch before i guess you know it's kind of hard right like usually move
things and or they're so heavy that you don't back those locking rings and stuff those collars
right right like getting all that to go and stuff it's fairly tricky there's physical labor involved yeah it's a guy's job and whatever five percent of girls
that's that's fair that's fair and uh so the other option i think the smartest one probably
is to somehow just like have a generator that runs on like gas or propane or who knows what diesel
kerosene nearby and you have to like manually flip two switches and that'll save you
like twelve thousand dollars but it'll still do the job yeah that's what i would do or there's
another option what if we got a solar system because that might be the smartest way to go
right like research this make sure you're good call make sure it's a good call and do like a solar battery type thing now not only do you have a battery backup that'll
last for a while not indefinitely but for a while but you also save on your power bill forever
pays for itself eventually maybe or even if it doesn't you know like even if you're like ah you know what it
doesn't pay for itself it recoups about a third or a half i bet it because we know the tax break
and everything a propane system you know one like a propane backup whatever it doesn't pay ever
right like it it's not even like the solar system has to completely recoup all the costs
associated with it it just needs to be better than all the other choices you know like it's
going to lower your bill every month the other one is totally not so yeah that was my second
thought i had i watched that uh or i didn't watch i saw that reddit post the other day i guess we're
talking about um is elon musk Musk. Is he the guy from Tesla?
Yes. He was saying something about some
new batteries that were going to change.
I didn't even read the thing, but
Chiz and I were talking. I guess
that's the future. That technology
seems to be advancing rapidly
right now.
Do you really even want to get into
it now? In three years,
is everything that's out there now just going to be silly and obsolete like it feels like computers like no
matter what no matter when you buy in three years you will wish you had that new one instead
and it's just a matter like well do you ever want this or not you know you got to jump in if you
want to have it yeah um it's not like you know dude wait till 2018 at that point it will all
stop advancing and you'll be set and you'll get the new stuff.
So I think that's where I'm currently set up.
Like, let's wait.
My sister-in-law just got solar power for her house.
And it's an interesting setup.
I don't know if it's a scam, but basically they came around and found her.
I don't know if they knocked on the door or what. But they put solar panels on her roof.
And she doesn't own the solar panels.
She rents them.
And the people that put them on the roof own them.
So they get the tax break.
But at $100 a month or something, it's supposed to save her more than $100 a month.
Have no big upfront installation fees.
And essentially, she just goes a little greener for whatever value you
personally place on that.
And her electric bill drops by,
they say more than a hundred bucks a month.
Interesting.
Yeah.
If that works,
then it's a,
that's a great idea.
Yeah.
It does seem like a great idea.
Probably if it's a good deal,
the better deal is to install it yourself.
Yeah.
I feel like if you can afford like that initial,
uh,
hit of getting every,
of getting the stuff installed,
cause that's what that company's doing.
It sounds like they've found a pretty cool,
uh,
money making opportunity with that.
That's it.
I,
and I,
I see why you would fear scam.
It,
it,
it seems like the sort of thing that
you could be fraudulent in somehow i don't know how because i don't know enough about the
technology but it's a little scary at first thought but it seems to me she's signing up
for 100 bucks a month right if they install this thing and it saves her 25 bucks a month she's
screwed but you know jackie researched it on google and couldn't find
jackie was like don't do this what is wrong with you it's a scam and then she went and looked into
it and she's like i can't find anyone who says it's a scam so i don't know but um that's a thought
but it seems like one of those things where like, you know, if this company can do this and
make money off of her, then she could cut them out, install it herself and save even
more.
But of course you have to be in a spot to, you know, take that initial investment.
Totally.
So I don't know.
And also she doesn't have battery backup or anything like that.
This is just a total like tie into the grid.
What I was talking about with replacing the generator would be more expensive batteries and stuff yeah and i'm
wondering like would it be a large battery the kind that you would like how big would that battery be
i picture it being like a 10 by 10 array of car battery type looking thing no i thought it would
be a lithium ion battery i thought it would be or or some No, I thought it would be a lithium-ion battery.
I thought it would be...
Or some newer technology.
I thought it would be like some sort of a super cell phone battery.
Like, you know, the ones that they use in like a Prius or something.
Or in the Tesla or something, but massive.
I don't know if the Tesla has one like the Prius does.
Huh.
Off-grid home solar power system.
Let me see.
I'm trying to scan it for...
It doesn't mention the kind of battery it has.
Well, shucks.
I don't know.
But, um...
Yeah.
And...
The...
On this thing that I keep reading,
they're like,
2,500 watts is for a little one,
8 grand is a whole house generator,
for 12...
No, 8,000 watts is a whole house, for 12 8,000 watts is a whole house
for 12,000 watts talk to me
my house I was looking at 26,000 watts
and I'm sitting here wondering
so what do we get here
for this I don't know
we gotta sort it out
but
it'd be fun to get this going
are you gone again Kyle
I think we lost Kyle but who knows It'd be fun to get this going. Are you gone again, Kyle?
I think we lost Kyle.
But who knows?
Maybe I'll do a solar bed generator backup type thing and put that on the house.
For right now, I'm going to take more time,
research, and try to avoid mistakes.
But I think I'm going to call that PKN.
Kyle's in the midst of some sort of winter storm
and he's losing his internet.
So I hope you guys enjoyed the show.
I feel good about the stories we had in there.
We'll see.
I'll get your feedback.
Bye.
