Painkiller Already - PKN #33

Episode Date: April 8, 2015

In this weeks episode of PKN, Chiz returns and the guys make fun of his mode of transportation to the paintball event this weekend!

in three layers and we're live ridiculous oh i just noticed kyle's outfit right is it is it too much eskimo joe over here i was chilly it's it's uh you can't be chilly anymore with all that on uh actually a little bit i had uh oxford kid yeah i had a little sigil right there i i don't know it's like a polo it's a ralph lauren like polo thing i don't know. It's like a polo shirt. It's a Ralph Lauren like polo thing. I don't know. It's a... Sorry, we're wearing t-shirts.

This shirt was like $200 fucking dollars, okay? This shirt was $2,500. Get on my level. I don't know who you're pulling those figures out of, but this is a very

nicely knitted polo here. And I just threw on a jacket because it was chilly because I had the AC on instead of the heat. Because it was really warm earlier today, but now it's dropped down to the 40s. The shirt says Woody Craft on the back. And that's what that cost. And they threw in a shirt, too.

I know. That's Hope's robotics team. Yeah. Ah, I see. I agree. They are the terror bites. Alright, so let's jump right into this. Let's hear your bad joke, and then an even worse joke. Wait, wait, say it again?

You tell your bad joke, and then I'm going to tell everyone an even worse joke. I wonder where this joke is going to come from. You know right where it's going! I-I-I- See if you can- My joke's pretty bad, but here we go. Are you ready? This is a two person joke. Knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock. Who's there? Who's there? The plane captain.

Awwww. Awwww. Too soon! there who's the plane captain oh no like bang bang bang the axe won't work okay kyle tell me your even worse joke oh the the joke is dr. Chiz's travel plans. In case you've been living under a rock, we are doing a paintball trip the weekend. It's April 10th and 11th. Wait.

I think you might have it wrong. It's the weekend. We're playing Saturday and Sunday, whatever those two days. It's 11th and 12th. The 11th and the 12th of April. We're playing at PB Explosion outside of Chicago, Illinois. whatever those two days 11 and 12 the 11th and the 12th of april we're playing at pb explosion outside of chicago illinois and uh lots of fans are coming the three of us here are going and uh the paintball field's flying us out and uh they're so that's all taken care of i assumed and uh

then chis said nah i don't want to fly i I don't want to be in coach between two other people and be dealing with that annoyance. And no, I don't like flying. I am going to take the bus again. I'm going to take the bus. And Kitty relayed this information to me because Kitty set this whole deal up for us. And earlier today, and I go to Chiz and I was in the middle of work, but I was like, drop everything. Let me go get on Skype and go to chiz and me i'm like i was in the middle of work but i was like drop everything let me go get on skype chiz i come down and call chiz and i'm like dude what the fuck are you doing or you remember what you said last time after like two days of bus folk like how you felt and you know how dirty they were tell me about weird folk chiz

most folk are probably convicted either of a there's several categories of bus folk there's the ones that are felons on their way to a prison or we call that group the jamals the jamals if you will several years that's not a racist thing that's a reference to my subcontractor with all the felony convictions go on the kind of people where they offer to give you a dollar uh these are the same people they offer to give you a dollar and then you say no and they go I can't keep this where I'm going so those are the felon folks there's the crazy folks

those are entertaining all these people bum cigarettes off and they love me they love to just talk to me and tell me their life story a lot of deadbeat dads with kids they didn't know they had that they're going to visit now one guy just came up to me and was bummed a cigarette, started talking, really shady dude, and then he just blurts out, yeah, I've got AIDS.

I've got AIDS. I'm trying to pay for my medication. You look like a footballer. Are you a footballer? No, I'm not a footballer. Did you touch me when I gave you that cigarette? I seriously thought that because if I got scratched, I was stopping my expedition

scratched what do you think because that's how AIDS works I don't even know how AIDS works the man just said he had AIDS all right I don't care how it works I have a feeling and he's not like the Magic Johnson AIDS where you can't detect it anymore this was a lanky fucking dude he had full blown AIDS he weighed 80 pounds this is philadelphia yeah yeah yeah great movie by the way and everyone has their motorola razor all right all right let's skip right to it all right so so bus folk are disgusting

and one of the reasons that that happens is because people ride the bus because they don't have identification sometimes to use other modes of transportation you don't need an id to get on the bus you just need a bus ticket so if if they're wanted by the law if they just for whatever reason you know suspended driver's license you know they're whatever reason they don't have an identification card they're on the bus and so they have an id card but they don't want an identification card they're on the bus or they have an id card but they don't want to be found yeah that could be it as well or they just don't have money warrants something like that not having money or friends usually because even if you don't have money usually you can get a buddy like drive me to school or like you know across the state or

something like that these are some interesting people, the bus folk. And so Chiz was like, yeah, I want some more bus folk. Yeah. I could catch up on my reading. And I'm just like, you're reading? Like, no, dude. This is like 30-something hours of reading you're catching up on. Like, what are you? He could catch me in Game of Thrones.

That's what I told Kyle. I could totally get through, like, book two and start three on the on if i started now and did the expedition and i'm also i am literally writing a book on all the bus folk i've met because there's a lot i've taken the bus many times well there's you don't take the bus and and and and i i think i convinced him not to take the bus we ridiculed him as he said uh all day today it worked kitty and i laugheduled him, as he said, all day today. It worked. And the kid and I laughed about him.

And so he's like, all right, fine, fine. You win, you win. I won't take the bus. And I said, great, great. So you're going to take the flight? Because I figured I might just chip in a few extra bucks and bump mine up to first class. Probably cost like $75 if you get there early, check in maybe. And he's like, oh, no, I'm not flying.

I'm going to get on a goddamn train. Choo-choo. He's going to choo-choo the entire United States virtually. Are you a load of coal? Are you lumber? Planes, trains, and automobiles. I'm getting them all.

He's going from the West Coast, California, all the way to Chicago, Illinois, which is sort of north central. It's 2,300 miles. It's on the eastern side of the country. What is your train experience? None. None.

That's why I want to do it. None. Subways don't count. What's the part of your train, the blue one, that everyone always has? Thomas the Tank Engine. Thank you. Okay, so that's you now.

That's going to be you. I prefer Mr. Conductor. Dude, just take it. You don't choose, Chip. We call you what we call you. My travel experience, your travel experience. Here's what's going to happen. I'm going to have like three big bags and a carry-on. I'm going to get to the

airport, check my two bags you're bringing an arsenal with you i am bringing arsenal with me i'm gonna check my two big bags check my carry-on board the plane and two hours later maybe two and a half depending on the wind because that's how i travel through the sky yeah through the sky i'm gonna look in chicago and i'll be there i'll be there so fast that i won't need to eat before i leave i'll eat in chicago that's where my lunch is coming from on that day you on the other hand you're gonna be shitting in in colorado In Colorado. No! Oh, that's the worst. California Zephyr. From Cali to Chicago. You're not selling me on that.

I wanted to take it. The worst part is the conference. How much is it going to cost? I told you. It's like $1.50. I just got to transfer my tickets. Hundreds of them. I bought my Greyhound tickets in advance.

How many stops? I don't know. What do you like? It's 30. A lot. It might be more than know. It's 30. A lot. It might be more than 30. It's a lot of stops. These aren't bus stops.

They're stopping and starting a goddamn train. Like, I haven't watched Bonanza in a while. It takes a minute or two. I've seen them, like, you know, they got to shovel the coal in there and get stoked up and everything, right? That's the kind of train we're talking about, isn't it? Yeah, obviously, because this is 1812.

It's an electric train. It must be 1812 because you're taking a train from fucking California to Chicago. I get nice, big, comfy seats, lots of room everywhere. I can do whatever I want. There's no bus folk Lana and wake up in Chicago and feel like I didn't get enough rest Well, I get to go to sleep and wake up in Denver then go to sleep again and wake up in Wichita And then go to sleep again, and maybe I'll be in you got your Kyle. That's a lot of sleep You're gonna be getting prodded by

the train folk. You thought the bus folk were a weird bunch. What do you get into these people? Yeah, the train folk are rough. They have six shooters and bandanas. It could be a train robbery. Jesse James and his crew will be over there. The wild bunch, yeah.

I can't believe, I can't fathom this whole decision you've made. I understand Coach does suck. I'm not a fan of that at all. I've done it a few times, and I've actually done it on this particular flight, which is about two and a half hours, like I said. It's not so bad. Your flight is

substantially longer. I'm going to guess it's like four and a half hours. But I would much rather... Well, it'd be like eight because there's no way i'm getting a direct flight so it'd be about to chicago there's a lot of direct flights are you sure you wouldn't i searched there's one out of like 40 that's weird to me bounced to atlanta then should make that happen so what what would you believe or airport would you be leaving from SMF sadly Mexico France probably should have said an s country to give the theme there's two flights from United and Southwest

really Southwest hmm it could have hours 15 minutes yeah that doesn't sound as fun all that this sounds like an. I'm telling you, man. I'll scratch that off the list. I've never ridden such a big proponent. I've ridden the train hundreds of times. Why? I used to go to school in Philadelphia and work... I don't remember where I worked. Was it Westchester?

Some place an hour outside of Philly. But with the traffic the way it was, the train was the best option. So I would commute to night school via train for a while. Three or four times a year. Train or subway? Train. Oh, okay.

Train, yeah, yeah. Because subway folk are pretty, there's a parallel between subway folk and bus folk. I don't know. These were mostly business people. Business people that just yeah you know i'm expecting a lot of like older white families taking their family on this big long expedition i don't have to deal with jamal rubbing against me and me checking my pockets

every two seconds on i'm interested in your experience mine wasn't pleasant at all like yeah see we were commuting too every day right the um when i hopped trains as a kid right and held onto the ladder from the side i remember it being so smooth right because i'm running right like as fast as my 10 year old self can go to go and i can't run as fast as a train so the train's going by me i'll say it like i don't know what these speeds would be but maybe i'm running eight miles an hour and the train is going like 14. So it's only going six miles an hour faster than I am. And as, as the ladder comes by, I just kind of grab it and pull myself onto the train.

And then the transition from like, I don't like, I don't as a grownup ever run full speed, but you'd be running full out, right? Like just full on on like all the speed that your body can get to grabbing onto the train and it was just like all of a sudden it would be the glide it would be like and every so often a slight like good jump good jump but mostly just fast and smooth and that was how i remembered as a kid so as an adult i was kind of excited to like glide all the way to philadelphia that wasn't it at all it was awful it was bumpy that when i first started riding it i was scared because the train was rocking sideways so much squeaking it's squeaking and it's rocking and

it's you know it's thump the thump the thump and and the tracks like i i think they're supposed to be nice and level but this shit was tipping you. And I'm like, this train is so tippy. I'm not talking to anyone, but I'm looking for signs of fear on the other people's faces. Is this normal? Yeah. Is anyone else freaked out by this?

And no one else was freaked out. People are reading the paper and stuff. And after a while, I became one of them, too. I would study on the way to and from school on the train and um uh yeah it took a lot to get those fucking degrees but among them a couple hundred train rides so i guess cheers is gonna i guess it's about time for you to leave now you should probably do you bring your own coal to fuel this thing they give you a discount on your own call everybody fuel this thing? They give you a discount on bringing your own coal.

Everybody chips in on the train. Do you guys know how trains are powered? Let me think. They don't use steam anymore. They've got those Maglev trains. No, these are the kinds that are... So U.S. trains, they're electric motors, and there's a diesel engine on it.

And pretty much the diesel engine just charges the electric motor. So it's not like the diesel drives the wheels. The diesel creates electricity. It's a generator. And then the electricity drives the wheels. I don't know why that's better. No coal. Steam train would have been nice.

You mentioned the people looking around if they were you know is this normal type thing apparently the people on that german flight didn't know that shit was going wrong until like the last second which is insane because the fucking pilot was smashing out the door with an axe with an axe oh yeah he was trying to get in with that there's like a protocol there's like one axe there that doesn't make sense to me you know i saw um uh like the flight trajectory like they they kind of showed what was happening in there as the flight crashed and i wish i could describe it but picture a plane and then they had it like connect the dots as it traveled along its

thing and it was getting really tippy and losing altitude in a hurry. Yeah. So. Apparently the wing, like, cut into a mountain, too, and people heard that screech or whatever. But on the black box, yeah, the black box, they could, like, the pilot was totally, or the co-pilot was totally just breathing. And you could hear in the background the fucking pilot banging on the door and screaming and shit like that. Shit. That was awful. That was, that that's gotta be scary as hell listeners if you're going to do a murder suicide do the suicide first i like it that's a good policy yeah

that was so i wonder how many pilots do commit suicide well i'm sure a lot of them drink themselves to death over time That was so fucked up. I wonder how many pilots do commit suicide. Well, I'm sure a lot of them drink themselves to death over time. I mean, how many of these crashes are suicides that happen? I don't think it's that uncommon. No, I don't think it's that uncommon. I think there's several instances of pilots just taking a plane into the ground and crashing it. What a morbid, morbid topic. But this one was definitely interesting to set the autopilot to a hundred foot

altitude and let Jesus take the wheel into the mountain. Is that what he did? Yeah, he set the autopilot to a hundred foot altitude and it did it itself. And it just, guess what was in front of that, you know, a hundred feet? It was a mountain range. So that just

seems really horrible. He hit a mountain? Did you see the Russian one where they let the kid fly? That's the one I'm thinking of. That's what I messed up. Is that the one where the guy brought his own kid into the thing with him? So here's the deal. Yeah, he brought two kids with him. I think it was recent because I just saw it on Reddit,

but it could be just drug up because of the German one. But he brought two kids with him, and the first one they let him touch the wheel, and everything was cool. The second one, apparently kind of like hitting the brake when you drive. If you overpower it, it gives you control. And I guess on some planes, you get an audio indicator that they turned off the autopilot. And on other planes, you only get a little light on the dash that implies that

the autopilot's been overridden this was that second one and the pilots didn't really know what the they were they seemed incompetent to me so they um the boy overpowered the autopilot therefore took off the autopilot and then like the plane got into this crazy stall situations and the pilots were shit so they couldn't get it out of the stall and they held it all wrong and it eventually crashed into the ground and killed everybody i think so i just heard this story literally told an hour ago on another podcast i don't think the pilots were shit so you're totally right the k like bump the autopilot and if you do that it knocks it out and back into manual you know someone needs to drive this fucking plane mode it went into a dive they managed to pull it back up it stalled came down again and then at one point it was upside

down and then it's shitty flying okay but it's stalled you know there's so much you can do the experts i read suggested he do put the autopilot back on, and it'll take care of everything. I think the dive they were in was a straight-down fast dive, and they just couldn't recover from it. At some point, if you fuck with your speed too much, you'll stall, and there's nothing you can do in that situation. They said that the autopilot would have taken it out of the stall

and fixed everything. The autopilot's better than the pilots. How do you take it out of the stall? You need more momentum. It was on the internet. What do you want? I don't think that's how autopilot works. I don't want to see this magical plane where it's like,

all right, activate thrusters now we've stalled. This reminds me of when everyone's sitting in the back of the RV and they're like, who's driving? Oh, I got the cruise control on. Don't worry about it. I think the autopilot just gets you from point A to point B, but you've got to take over and do complex maneuvers. That's pretty smart.

It'll do what you tell it to do. But you can't get out of a stall. A stall means you're stalled. On these commercial airliners, they land for you and everything. I heard the pilot's job described. What we need is a pilot and a dog, and the dog is there to bite the pilot in case he touches the controls that's that's how they've described the modern pilot's job but you can't recover from the plane just losing so much speed you know it is several

what thousand tons it started to rotate the plane. That's crazy. I wonder if there's ever been a case where that's worked out. Not on an air... Not even on purpose, but that happened and they recovered from it. I feel like once you go upside down, you're fucked. Yeah, there's been all... I see that all the time on the History Channel,

those crazy dogfights and stuff. They recover from all kinds of crazy positions. Well, that's not the same thing as a 747 or an Airbus, though. Of course not. It's significantly bigger. Yeah, they just die when that sort of thing happens, I would imagine. That's been the trend. They just sort of hit the ground and explode.

Not Denzel Washington. That was my favorite you know that movie really sucked i liked the first like 20 minutes of it where there's actually flying and he does all that cool shit everything else is just a depressing man's life that's kind of what i thought it was gonna be and it was a really shitty i didn't like it it was like cool he did that impossible the drunk pilot no one believes in did this cool, impossible, evasive maneuver right here. And now we're just going to go through his shitty, shitty life until he goes to jail.

If I remember right, a better pilot wouldn't have gotten into that situation. And a pilot who's not as good wouldn't have gotten out of it. I'm trying to remember. Oh, what happened? Were they careless on a checklist? Or did he i forget but apparently it took some pretty awesome pilot skills to save it oh a bolt or something came out of the plane and totally fucked it up and he threw it down i don't remember because some some dance it was definitely a mechanical failure that caused them to i forget why i thought he was partially to

blame well because there was a part at the beginning of it where they're flying to take off and he goes through this crazy fucking storm or whatever and just keeps fighting through it or whatever there's that so he might have stressed the plane might have stressed the plane that's right and so he was he was possibly partially to blame and then he saved it and i like the movie and i you keep hoping he's gonna like get his act together because the world wants him to have his act together but he's you know lose he's gonna lose fucks everything up just real sad movie no winners not even the co-pilot to this paintball game yeah man you have fun carrying the whole team.

I've been just real focused on this thing for a while. I'm going to have a lot of fun. I really wanted to get one of these paintball grenade launchers. Okay, so this thing, it looks like a pistol. It's a break action, so it breaks apart, and you put like a 40-millimeter grenade inside of this thing and lock it back together, and when you fire it releases compressed

air that shoots there's a there's a lot of different things you can shoot you can shoot like nerf darts with fins on them but you can also shoot like a handful of uh 68 caliber paintballs or you can shoot a whole bunch of 43 caliber paintballs and when it goes off it sounds like a fucking gun so i'm just imagining like running into a building and blasting somebody with that thing point blank. But Kitty was, it's $500. And Kitty was like, no, you give paintball a bad name. And I was just like, all right, I won't do that then. You can't put a hole in some kid's chest with that thing.

I don't think it would hurt that much worse than a paintball gun. Are you bringing smoke grenades? There are going to be a lot of smoke grenades there. They have smoke grenades for sale and I'm sure they'll stock us up with smoke grenades and paintball grenades. I have a grenade pouch on my vest now.

I did the Molly last night. You did the Molly last night? You did the Molly last night? Molly is the strap weaving system that you attach stuff to uh vest with not the drug i guess i haven't done any of these i lost five pounds that's what i did yeah i was five down on thursday today's monday as we record this and then like the next day i

was only like four down or something but i've been down five for i think two days in a row so it's just it's real now and now we'll look for seven if you want to drop five pounds get a bunch of stressful incompetent uh contractors around you and they'll just depressingly suck some that's how i gain the weight just going to restaurants every day for lunch for months i think you know was was the thing also some lapses like eating pistachios in bed or whatever watching oh you pig pistachios pistachios are packed with calories i i voted hard and uh you voted i voted hard for our right to uh to have flashbangs at the paintball event but no one would listen to me they kept laughing every time i'd say it, and I was just like, no, no, really. Why?

Everyone has fucking lenses that are mirrored or smoked out. Like, it would have been totally safe. You know, it would have been a nice light. If you're not a baby in a crib, then what's the big deal, right? And if there is a baby in a crib at the field, then shame on you. Your baby deserves it, right? That's just bad parenting. You're a horrible parent.

I really did want the flashbangs because i saw this video on wolf's channel where they were playing paintball in like portugal or some shit and the guy literally lights like a fucking he lights like a fucking like cherry bomb or something like a big ass m80 and like throws it into a room and it it's loud and there's a big flash it's not like a real flashbang but it's i don't know it's loud and there's a big flash. It's not like a real flashbang, but it's, I don't know, it's a really powerful firecracker. Boom! And the whole thing lights up white.

And he charges in, shooting people with a paintball gun. I was like, oh yeah, that'll be fun, especially on that Nuketown map. Like I imagine... Cleaning the house out with cherry bombs. I want to make them rain like it's Call of Duty 4. Just like three fracking it. You just see people run out of the house and light them up.

I'm looking forward to a smaller event like because we've done living legends for a couple times which is fun but you can't it look you're charging into 150 people you know there's only so much you can do like everyone's sitting there signing sort of cowering behind cover of course they are how else do you play when there's 150 people looking for a head to pop out but if it's you know 12 on 12 or something there's some flanking that could happen if you shoot someone it matters like if i narrow your forces down let's say i'm wildly successful and i take you from 100 to like 96 so you know there's still 96 like it didn't really make any difference but when it's small like this you can actually get people out finishes you play two v two at one point small games like

snd and you can yeah like snd and you can uh the best part is your staging area is going to be right next to your playing area so i don't know exactly how but i i'm pretty sure it's going to be right next to your playing area so i don't know exactly how but i i'm pretty sure it's going to be a situation where our paintballs and like sodas and gatorade and like you know a sink with running water or are within a stone's throw of where we're playing paintball at since i'm the celebrity on this trip i'll be asking for m&ms but no green I'll eat the green M&M's and that'll make it even I'll ask for only green M&M's there we go now we're set

hey what is it causing the same bowl it's gonna be a good fucking time I'm making a video tomorrow about my paintball setup and I'm gonna see if I can get one of the guys there to dress up as a chipmunk and let me hose him down with my paintball setup and I'm going to see if I can get one of the guys there to dress up as a chipmunk and let me hose him down with my paintball gun. I hope that happens. I really do too.

I hear that you have no one that's willing to do that. Well, I will say this. Eric from IraqVeteran88888 He's usually up to do some crazy shit. Will he be on site? If not, you could always shoot kitty not bad accent though that's the key takeaway a chipmunk in a wheelchair i wonder who's in the

costume oh stop it stop it carly hates let's look at somebody out there in the costume maybe we'll see if somebody wants to do it. But regardless, I'm going to do the video tomorrow. And I've already mentioned another video. So there'll be like three videos that go up where I mention this thing. So hopefully we get some people to show up. Three videos by the 11th? Well, I've got one going up.

After tomorrow, he'll have... I'll have five in the bank I think after editing so I'll have a few but in any case yeah I'm tired but in any case

I think we're going to have a good many people there and I think it's going to be fun I really hope there's I really hope there's a chance S& going to be fun i i really hope there's um really hope there's a chance so we can snd would be fun if we if we if we did like some call of duty game game modes but i think it would be fun to do like uh uh like i don't know eight man teams and have like a quick little tournament or something like that yeah a hostage game rescue the hostage yeah yeah or vip vip would be fun that's how's that different um in vip you're trying to kill one uh member of the enemy team and uh so so your whole team

is either defending one guy or uh trying to kill the one guy on the other team so we could do the video game thing where you have to escort someone safely. And I'll be that someone, but I'll be a total dickwad just like in video games walking half speed. People are poking their guns into Woody. I'm just like totally incompetent getting myself hurt. He'll randomly get stuck on a bus or something and bump into it for a bit. Oh, shit, we lost him. Run back and get Woody. I'm going against like doorways, but halfway through.

Just bumping. That'd be great. Some games like that would be fun. I haven't been to Chicago in a little while, so I'm looking forward to getting back and eating at all my favorite places and enjoying myself. I like Chicago a lot.

I guess Joe's going to go. Yeah, he's actually getting confirmation last night and stuff. So Lozon should be there. That'll be good. He'll kick some ass before he goes and kicks some ass.

Exactly. Oh, he has a grappling match. I don't think he has an opponent picked out next. No, I was referring has a grappling match. I don't think he has an opponent picked out next. No, I was referring to the grappling match. Yeah. So, he's excited about his grappling match. Joe Lozon has...

It's called Metamorris. And it's like professional, but grappling only. And he's like, dude, it's great. You don't have to make weight. No one punches you in the face and I get paid. I'm like, God. Sounds like every other job except you have to grapple. I get to do what I do best.

That's it. All right. So briefly, we have to have some Game of Thrones talk. Where are you in the books? What's going on where you are in the book now? That filthy whore Ygritte is trying to seduce Jon Snow. How dare you? Yes. Call her filthy whore egret is trying to seduce john snow how dare you yes or oh i trust me i'm a big fan of whores it's not an insult okay good no i guess filthy whore is typically an insult but yeah yeah so he hasn't had sex with her yet nance asked him some details on

like who's at the wall and stuff I forget why he just stopped trusting him and he had to like reprove that he's not that he's like going to be a faithful wildling by telling him how many people were manning the wall and stuff like that so he killed the guy right to earn the trust initially true

and then somewhere along the way man's discovered I guess something he said wasn't true or whatever and And an owl just fucked up his face. I don't remember that from the show. There totally isn't an owl that comes and fucks up his face in the show. It's an eagle

that was controlled. It's not an eagle, though. It's like an owl something. It's not a bird that exists in our world. I mean, I literally listened to it like an hour and a half ago okay not an owl on the show but there definitely is an eagle or a bird of some kind being controlled by the the war guy right that but it's a dead guy that's controlling this one i think so yeah so in the book the uh that guy dies uh john kills him and but but part of him continues to live on in the uh the owl and um it's not an owl i'm sorry it's

not an owl and i'm gonna get abused for this but it's not an eagle either it's like an owl l or something or an l hawk or something anyway i thought it i thought it was a hawk um but it it attacked john snow and like clawed his face up a little bit um that's about the end of it but it clawed his wolf up too at one part i just have gotten to the red wedding and gotten past that so that that's the last thing i think i listened to they um was the end of the red wedding oh and then there was a and then i guess it was the like the um the council room scene uh the king's council where they're all discussing that rob stark is dead and all uh in which you get a lot of insight into what tywin you know like how the red wedding came to be uh a lot a lot more

insight than there is in the show so i like like that a lot. Well, in the game, Joffrey just died and they just carried away Tyrion. I feel like a dick. It's an eagle. It is Orel's eagle, but I swear in the book, it seemed like they were

calling it an Orel eagle or something like it. Well, I think I know why you're confused because they probably referred to the bird as the man's name because in fact the man now solely resides within that bird. I think they were naming

the bird the man's name. So you knew. I got a little mixed up in it. I didn't picture it as a straight eagle that I thought of it as some bigger bird than we have in our world. But I guess I made a little mixed up in it. I didn't picture it as a straight eagle. I thought of it as some bigger bird than we have in our world. But I guess I made a mistake. There's lots of animals that don't exist in our world. I'm not really sure what a manticore is.

I don't know what a dire wolf is other than a super wolf. It's a pony-sized wolf. Arnold Schwarzer Wolf. And what's the other one? The shadow cats. There's the other one the uh the shadow cats uh there's the shadow cats and sometimes it's just a different word like a different language for for like for lion the dothraki word for lion is like ha ha or some shit so it's not a super leap to think that this was a bird that perhaps

wasn't an everyday eagle but i guess it was i don't know but yeah john seemed like he was really hurt he thought he lost his eye and everything yeah it didn't happen in the movie it did actually did if you remember um the scene where bran and hodor are up in the tower and down below john snow is having his moment where he's breaking away from the wildlings and sort of betraying uh egret anditte and all of them because he doesn't want to kill that old man or whatever. That's when it happens. The bird comes down in that fight and

attacks his face. I didn't know it was possible, but Hodor is a bigger bitch in the books. I fucking hate Hodor. You know what's made Game of Thrones book better for me the fast forward button whenever Hodor starts speaking it's only 15 seconds Hodor will literally go and forgive the next 15 seconds

Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor stop Hodor-ing and I Hodor, Hodor, Hodor, Hodor. Stop Hodor-ing! And I'm like, that was so painful. I hate Hodor so much. He's, oh my God. Or, I like it when they warn, you know, like,

do you know this song? I'm like fishing for my phone, waiting for fucking Roy Detrice to start singing. Like, go ahead, I dare you, bitch. Bam, 15 seconds. Are you still singing bam i songs he's horrible skip on the cd player i i i never skip uh i i soak up every little bit because a lot of those songs like uh the bear and the maiden that song keeps coming up the rains of castamere the lion and it's when um when the queen of thorns i forget her name marguerite and sansa were talking and the guy

was singing that stupid bear song it was awful that was when i learned my head is there's the thing about the there's only like a handful of songs uh just like it would have been in medieval times i suppose so there's like there's literally like 20 songs that that are known and like so so they keep coming up over and over like at the red wedding like they're singing the bear and the maiden oh my god i don't even want to hear that scene the bear the bear with honey the maiden with honey in her hair. On and on and on. It's awful. The scene does get a little bit long-winded. I don't

like that fucking raven. Corn! Corn! Ravens and fools. The fools are something that were completely removed by HBO. And I think it's because they're so politically incorrect because more times than's because they're so politically incorrect

because more times than not they're just retarded people. Yeah. I think they have Down Syndrome. That's how they are in my head. They literally have Down Syndrome I think sometimes. Or if you've seen the Howard Stern show, maybe you've got sort of a high-pitched Eric scenario.

Oh, don't feel sorry for high-pitched he's he made his own bed i i watched that show so much i i feel like i know a lot of those weird motherfucking characters um high pitched eric in particular is just he's like 43 years old um he's got some sort of government assistant he's technically dull like on the uh like iq scale they rate him as dull and he's like a 64 64 IQ or something like that. So he's in this government housing building where they take care of him and stuff. And he's got all these ailments.

And he's very overweight. And he talks like this. Oh, Howard. Howard, I try. I try to lose the weight, Howard. And Howard questions him. He's like, what did you eat for breakfast? He's like, well, sometimes I have like four peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

And he's like, four? Four? I've been thinking about weight loss a lot lately. And in my years, like what it takes to lose weight has changed right like the different fad diets and stuff i remember in the late 90s early 2000s the atkins diet was all the rage right it was all just eat beef it's bread that's making you fat it's rice it's this just you know you can have all the meat you want just i still think that's pretty effective yeah and then after that came came the paleo diet.

That was the big thing. Oh, it's processed foods that are killing you. If you just eat the caveman diet of meat and vegetables and whatever, that's what you want. If you have to cook it to be even edible, it's probably not a food that you should be eating. The paleo thing. Before that, it was balanced diet.

Or before that, it was genetics. It was always like, well, your metabolism is faster than that guy's. You can't diet too much or your metabolism will crash and you'll go into starvation mode. The current line of thinking around dieting, it's my favorite one so far that I've lived through. It's just, hey, calories in, calories out. If you don't like your weight, then it's your fault. There's no, like, I'm genetically inclined towards this.

There's no metabolism. There's no natural. No, calories in, calories out. It's on you, bitch. And I kind of like the take responsibility for where you are kind of thing. I wish that that went to everywhere. I wish that went to economics. There's a little bit of leeway there.

But, for example, I think that some people are more predispositioned to be leaner or fatter. But I don't think it's enough so that you should see extremely obese people ever. enough so that you should see like extremely obese people ever i think it in the in the grand scale of things if we were still all cavemen you know and our bodies were as strong as they needed to be to keep us alive you would see oh yeah fucking look at that guy he's enormous and then well everybody else is like normal size but they're lean and strong and those would be the unhealthy people the the ones that are just lean and strong and not enormous and perfect my best friend in high school brian trostle turned out to be a horrible person but um uh in high school i was too dumb to know better he was twice as strong as me like literally he was like twice as strong as i was and he didn't work out he didn't

do anything he was just one of those guys you probably know some in your life too who are just like built his back was like a mini brock lesnar type thing like it was just so much thicker and bigger like you'd look at him in a totally gay way i guess like in in his t-shirt and you're like holy fuck that guy fills his shirt you know he's just like he would be a lot to hug that guy fills his shirt he said don't get on go get me started on his jeans so uh knowing that he was like just so naturally inclined to carry so much muscle mass one would guess he's naturally inclined to burn more calories too just as the nature of having all those muscles i think those things are related. Having said that the current line of thinking around weight is really, I blame you for your diet. And I like it that way.

Like I blame me for my diet too. You know, not that I've gone like totally over the top or anything, but you know, it's like, all right, what do you picked up? 10 pounds or anything was 13 fucking fix it. You know, it's eight now. It's no one else to look at it's all you it's not some crazy genetic thing or you know i said my metabolism slowed as i aged and uh murka's like actually they looked into that and that's not a thing that was me that was you now i do wonder about i don't like any excuses right i feel I feel like they're weak. Winners aren't making excuses, etc. That's from a comedy movie. I say that, but it is from a comedy movie.

Okay. Thanks. Just saying. Thanks for the reference. Fair warning. That's from Wedding Crashers. I was thinking about it, and I was like, but... I didn't know that.

I was trying. I was like... So, on one hand, I guess that kind of makes sense metabolism doesn't slow down if you say so merker confirmed it maybe i learned something on the other it's like man it seems like people over 40 to draw a line in every society throughout all of time seem to pick up weight if you go to fucking aristotle and plato they're fatter when they're 40 if you go to If you go to fucking Aristotle and Plato, they're fatter when they're 40. If you go to France, if you go to India right now,

the people over 40 are a little heavier. If you go to China, if you go to, of course, the US, if you go back to Nazi Germany, there's fat guys over 40. Not in Asia. I think that's because of inactivity. Not in Asia. It could be inactivity, I think that's because of inactivity. Not in Asia. It could be inactivity, for sure.

Maybe a bunch of fat Asians. Yeah, you see all those old Asian business CEOs and stuff, and they're in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, and they're just lean as they can be. I don't know. You totally see fat Asian guys. Not the Japanese. Hunchback over their bowls of rice.

Yeah, they're in the fields all the time the Japanese women are a particularly good example, right? Like they're hot, hot, hot all the way into like their deep 30s. And then somewhere in their 40s, they fall off a cliff. Like that's the cliche. I don't see a lot of fat Asians. Like can you name some? I can't name any fat Asians. That's not fair.

Who is the only one I know yeah right like the only fat asians i can name are sumo wrestlers i can't name them you know like and they're bred to be fat i'm gonna say bread they trained how did we get to this place but they're on a plant-based diet primarily i still think a thousand calories of healthy lean green is better than a thousand calories of processed shit. Woody, did you see the picture I sent of the Mercedes I bought? Yes. The one I sent today?

With the cans on it? Yes. Yes, I saw it. Those are spray paint cans, those little objects. I'm going to zoom in. What a tedious task. Oh, it was. How many miles are on that car?

That's a better question for the price you got it for. Yeah. 205,000 miles. $500 Mercedes. 1995 Mercedes, like LS420 or something like that for 95 it's super loaded it's got some sort of like on star type system in it it's got a cell phone six disc changer um really nice sound system like i've been rocking out in that thing sunroof everything heated leather seats everywhere um it seems kind of nice to ruin.

500 bucks. That's what the guy I bought it from said. He's like, you could part this thing out and make a couple thousand dollars and I'm like, I'm going to shoot it with a fucking cannon. He was just like, oh, well dad's going to hate to hear that.

I was like, one, two, three, four. I don't give a shit. gonna hate to hear that one two three it was he was like i wait a minute i know you you're the one from the internet and i was like yeah yeah yeah so his son knew who i was so he took a really weird picture of me standing next to the car but he didn't want to be in

the picture so it was just the awkward situation he's standing next to my prize just like a and him just taking a picture of me in the in broad daylight which is always bizarre um but yeah i got it the only thing wrong with it it doesn't have reverse and there's a little damage on the back bumper but other than that it's nicer than the cars that most people drive it's very nice on the inside and i'm going to fuck it up tomorrow i can't you got to take some like cell phone videos and such so i can get an early preview yeah yeah i always like those i got it so today um one of the employees for my contractor came by and his son hurt himself so his son his job he's 21 years old is in florida driving a rickshaw

a rickshaw if you don't know is a bicycle with like a seat in the back and he just sort of pedals him through anyway a hit and run driver hit his ankle so now he's back home recovering like sort of you know i guess he needs to be a kid again because he's hurt so he's living you know with his parents and uh getting medical care and stuff like that until he can get back on his feet. Okay. Anyway, we were talking about drugs, you know, and I told him the day pop becomes legal, I become a farmer. They both actually high-fived me. They liked that idea so much.

And we talked about pain pills, a nine wisdom teeth story and et cetera. But what was funny is his son seemed to be an expert on the topic of illegal drugs like like i like i i get heroin and meth mixed up in my head and i'm like you know which one is bad for your teeth and he's like oh yeah that's meth that's meth it's actually the biz that's happening and did you know that when you smoke meth you got to exhale really quick it'll crystallize in your lungs and you don't want that and i I'm like, you know. When you're driving a rickshaw, you meet a lot of interesting folk on the street. Yeah.

And, you know, like the pot, the pills. He's like, oh, yeah, with pills, here's the way the graduation works. You take your oxycodone, you're on that for a while, and then your tolerance builds up. And it gets to be like $30 a pill because you don't have a legit prescription for this thing. But heroin will give you the same effect, it's 30 for the whole day so that's how people go on to heroin and this is that and it was just like you seem curiously well-versed on drugs like if my daughter knew all this i'd be very suspicious what What do you do? I sell drugs. What's up? I drive a rickshaw. Where do you think the rest of my income comes in from?

Yeah. It's just funny when you talk to a guy and all of a sudden, like, he knows all the deal. You know? Just, dude, he was talking about smoking meth, right? And he held his hands up in such a way that, like don't know it just seemed like muscle memory like the way that a smoker holds a cigarette would be different than me there's just kind of a like i've done this a million times sort of thing um i don't know he probably doesn't do meth but he just seemed to like know how smoke a bowl, that's for sure. Smoke a bowl.

I like the lingo you got wrapped up in. Oh, yeah. You're going to get some drug lingo, some Spanish in your repertoire. We can do you all up. I'm learning Spanish on the job site. I was telling Chiz about that today. Some of them don't speak English very well, so it's necessary. Other times, it's just they like it. Hola, amigos, and brighten the fuck up.

They're like, hola, amigo. All is good when I'm talking in Spanish. That's great. I love it. So what's going on with the home improvement situation? Last I heard, I don't know what was going on with the, uh, the home improvement situation? Like, uh, last I heard it was, I don't know what was going to happen. You're going to,

you're having serious issues with the GC. Yeah. So he gave me, um, $16,000 worth of like bill, like change orders and stuff. And, uh,

most of them came as a complete surprise to me. Some were legit. And, um, we went over it and I won everything I should have won. It went from $16,000 to $4,000. So I knocked $12,000 off of what I considered to be improper billing. And I know he lost a lot of money on it. A lot of that was for me.

He would say, all right, these two doors, to install them is two grand. Which sounds like a lot, but they had to redo the wall and rebuild the headers and stuff and it's a long story but it was two grand and then he comes at me he's like well two grand for the labor 1400 for the materials the trim out was something else in there and i was just like no no you said two grand we agreed to two grand you can't come now and say that didn't include any materials you know like and i at one point i told him oh you guys i lost can you hear me okay yeah yeah i lost your videos they'll come back i'm bad and i was like you can't just like like i'm not some debit card

that you know you can tap into anytime you're short on cash you know suddenly i just reframed i didn't fix it you know like some expense that you didn't expect comes and you just pass it on to me. I'm like, no. And he, he got like aggressive. He's like, are you serious? Are you fucking serious right now? And I'm like, I am fucking serious. You cannot just start billing me for shit that $3,000 of it was for engineering drawings

for the shop that he's not making. He's not working with them anymore. And he's like, the drawings are drawn. These are bills. Keep them. Yeah, that is exactly what I told him. I was like, keep the drawings. They're all yours.

I didn't approve of them. I didn't ask for them. You had them built as part of the quoting process. We talked about it i said what an interesting business you're in where you you know have to invest all this on a quote and you know you might not even get the job he's like yeah i don't normally do this right you don't only do anything because you just got into business and um uh in the end you know he was like well the drawings are drawn and it's like that's on you that's on you and uh and that got

scratched everything got scratched off the bill that I told him I didn't want to pay for. So can you guys group videos? Group videos unavailable at this moment. Can you flip your video back on? I did. I did. Oh, yeah.

I get the same thing, like a little X. Well, that was painkiller. No, I guess I could. Let's hang up and call back and see if that fixes it. All right. Cool, cool, cool, cool. Oh, it won't let me answer the call. I'll try answering with audio.

None of these are working. Sorry everybody, I apologize for this. I was nervous about the recalling strategy in the first place. I'm going to hang up and try again. I'm asking him, are you in the call? Alright someone tried calling again I'm going to restart my Skype. What a shame. Downtime. Dead air.

All right. So now i'm search okay here hey hey all right we're back except that you're in different you're now the cheese is on one side and kyle's on the other and the names are wrong but we're otherwise okay oh let it ride let it ride so anyway uh to wrap up the house thing we fought on the invoice i got 12 000 of the 16 000 knocked off and the other four i was okay with mostly there's like a hundred here and there but jackie said not to fight over every little thing and um and now we agree to everything up front signed i even pay in advance but mostly i'm just happy that there's no

more freaking surprise bills no notion of like i don't want to be like all right yeah you know whatever twelve hundred dollars and we'll put a new hardwood floor in this't want to be like, all right, yeah, you know, whatever, $1,200 and we'll put a new hardwood floor in this room. And then be like, well, then the painters had to come in and then we had to drop in shoe molding and then we had to do this and there's quarter round on the floor. And it's like, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah. There's no extra, like, this is everything. And I talk about that in advance. Like, don't, don't come at me and be like, you know, the shoe molding needed touch-up paint because that's part of this. And I gave him a punch list. It's over a page long, but there's a lot of really easy stuff on there.

Like, Chiz looked at it. He's like, a motivated guy could knock out half of the entire list in a day. And, you know, we'll see. Yeah. He's really good at half quotes giving you half of what a quote would be half quotes hey i just gave you the quote this is preliminary i gave you the quote for supplies i give you the quote for labor after we buy the supplies you see how that works mr woodward all right we good here the half quotes have been insane yeah if i could redo like go back to where i was there's only a couple things in this house that i actually i don't know i was talking to jackie

about so for example the lighting in the family room is much better now it went from one ceiling fan that hung so low that if i stood extra tall i could touch it with the top of my head it's a recessed lighting it's a much nicer light and this whole ceiling feels higher now and the floor wasn't level now it's level but mostly like there are two things we did we hardwood floored one of the rooms and we painted that freshened up the whole house and everything else I feel like was just not even that good of an idea. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong.

Those door handles, though. The door handles are nice. The master bedroom doors are magnificent now, right? They're heavy. When you move them, it's like a castle door. They're eight feet tall. And previously, they were much thinner. They were lighter.

And there was a gap in the middle. So there was no privacy in the master bedroom. It should have been done cheaper, but I guess that needed to be done too. I don't know. I just... Dude, it's been a long time. We bought this house in November. It's April in a few days. It's been a long time.

You had some great guys over there. The we can't cut a solid core door thing because the structural integrity of the door will be jeopardized if we take an inch or two off of it. And that one I don't think was malicious. Yeah, I've stuck on Maleficent. No, just retarded. It was just incompetent. And it's funny. You can catch it.

They lie to me so much that like now catching them in lies like i'm the jerk you know like they're working on the fireplace mantle and he was saying oh i was saying this crown molding they install was upside down and he comes at me he's like no that's not upside down look and he takes me over to dental molding which is completely different and he says no that molding is actually regular crown with these square blocks which make it dental molding meant pretend their teeth stuck on to it and i'm like no it was one piece because i saw him put it up i saw him buy it and uh he's like no this is two pieces etc i'm like no it was one piece i saw it he's like well it, this is two pieces, etc. I'm like, no, it was one piece. I saw it.

He's like, well, it can't even be manufactured that way. It's impossible. And I was like, dude, I'm telling you. He's like, well, then it's not wood. It's not wood. It must be MDF, like medium-density fiberboard. It can't be wood. I'm like, no, it was wood.

Just then, Danny comes in, who happened to be the installer, and he asked Danny, was this one piece? Yes, it was one piece. Is this real wood yes it's real wood i'm like all right now let's circle back to the upside down crown molding is it possible that you could be wrong about the crown molding given that you were wrong about everything else you've said today so far and uh he's like god damn it woody i guess i haven't been doing this 30 years i guess i haven't learned anything in the last 30 years.

I guess I don't know what I'm talking about. And to some extent, yeah, I guess I was kind of harsh on him. On the other hand, you fucking lie to me every day. When I catch you this bad, I like to do a fucking victory dance. You know, like it's everything you said has been based on lies or at least if we're generous being wrong then you know there goes all your proof undermining that the crowd the crown molding he put on there was similar crown molding four inches away and it was flipped the other way that's why i thought it was upside down was this paul yeah who was

okay yeah you should just stick with your latin friends you know they might accidentally cut a beam when they aren't being supervised because that's how that guy runs things over there just one task at a time and like i said earlier once the task is over they've just got power tools and no guidance and they just fucking do things so there's a major there's two twox10s, sistered, which means they're bolted together, holding up a portion of my house.

And the guy cut it with a sawzall, which is that reciprocating saw with the saw on the end. And he cut through it and it had to be repaired. They had to bring in like more 2x10s. I think they actually used

two pieces of engineered laminate, stronger than it was before. But the fix was expensive and they had to have an engineer come out and certify what it would take to support that load. Now, like given what we're looking at and he comes and he runs all these calculations and he recommends the wood and this and that, then they build me for the fix.

They broke it, right? A guy cut through a support beam in my house a drywaller right he wasn't even a carpenter a drywaller grabbed the tool he shouldn't have cut through the support beam in my house and that was that was the first bill that we had to correct i was like no you know like you don't get to damage the house and then bill me for the repairs yeah i love that my favorite analogy is like getting your car getting the oil changed in your car and while it's being serviced, they dent the fuck out of it

and then they pull the dents out and then bill you for it. No, you can't just make more work and then bill me for it. That's not how this transaction works at all. You're fucked up. That happened with the trencher. The trencher comes along and hits an underground power line and then they're like, $100 to fix that. That one's my's my favorite i love that one like a fucking five-year-old yeah that was early yeah so long ago i cut the wire put some dirt over it yeah yeah they just kicked

the dirt over with their foot oh it didn't go that far i expected more out of an eight eight felony convicted individual i really expected some quality of decency to let you know a power line. It's it. Yeah, I am. I've I've learned a lot. One of the things I've learned, like the me of today probably wouldn't hire a general contractor. I just feel like their task is not good. I mean, they're supposed to make things trouble free.

That didn't happen at all. I'd be much better off just like finding subs and doing it myself and yeah there's always home depot yeah i if if you're the least bit handy around the house you should be your own gc yeah it doesn't you made a you made a punch list you couldn't like how much more of this guy's job do you have to take on until you get to wear the hat at the job site i found the subcontractor to install the carpet on the stairs you're having like a runner yeah i'm literally finding his subs for him now giving him phone numbers supplies supplies they give you shit when you don't order the supplies for the job site you know it's because I don't do it, it doesn't get done.

Things will have a two or three week lead time. And then they're not really on it until it's time for that part of the job. And I don't even fathom people not thinking like this. If you had a video coming up, Kyle, and you knew some things took a while to get you'd start getting them well in advance but you know he literally like that day people just like don't have tools they need don't have materials they just stand there like what you know it's like i said they finish their task they look down there's no more work to be done and they just blank out and don't know what to do they didn't think ahead ahead. They start cutting shit. They start planning.

They start cutting shit. Yeah. Looking up floors. Yeah. The guy fixing the laminate. Like, they didn't have enough laminate. How did you not foresee this? It's super easy to calculate the square footage of a floor.

Like... It's like not bringing enough paint. Yeah. Oh, that's not a hypothetical. Actually, that one is. The painters... Dude, if they've got their name on the side of the truck they typically are professionals if they roll up in a dented toyota corolla

they're typically not be very suspicious of that guy it is definitely a red flag it's well i wish you luck in 2016 in your new house. Every month... It's going to be great when they tear it down to the foundation and just start over in summer. The final day of this month just began. Yeah, we're hitting into April soon.

So maybe you can start building the pool when you move in. I think April's going to happen. I never thought that about March. I did think it about February, funny enough. But by the end of February, I could tell March was a pipe dream. Well, you're going to go away for an entire weekend, my friend.

That means no work is going to be done because the GC sit-in isn't there. I wouldn't even want them there. I'd be like, don't go to the house when i'm not there i could just imagine like comes back there's charred walls and shit there's a seven alarm fire believe it it turns out i haven't learned anything in 30 years i was right uh yeah he was so indignant about that i i it's still like like ever have a conversation replay in your head like how should i have handled that what Yeah, he was so indignant about that. It's still like, like ever have a conversation replay in your head? Like, how should I have handled that?

What should I have done? But on the other hand, like they just lie about, like, I don't like what they did with our front stairs. It looks great, but it doesn't like perform well, like to slide your hand down the railing. And I almost don't want to say all the negatives about it. Cause I think if you saw it and you'd be like,

that looks pretty good until you like tried to use it and they're like well that's code I don't think so I think you're full of shit I think that you're just saying it's code because everyone knows I don't know the code on stairs like I don't know maybe you do

but they just throw around like yeah that's what code is as a way to like that's that's their, you know, rock, paper, scissors, and cannonball wins them all. That's their cannonball wins them all. Can't cut doors. Can't, you know, can't do, you know, you cut an electrical line, you bury it with dirt. These are just how we run things around here. That's just code.

Yeah. Get with the norm. And, you know, that leads me to like like i lose that conversation i can go back and google it and be like that's not fucking code but yeah what a mess i mean we're approaching the time you started looking at homes well technically you've been looking longer than that but really pursuing it we are getting around to looping around yeah yeah oh goodness it's that's over soon you you fished out all the convicts um that we know of hey yeah it's fun soon we're gonna prep this house for sale what a nightmare that's gonna be i'll be the gm

or the gc i mean to say yeah like I'm not going to hire a general contractor to like hire painters or anything I'll just do it myself have them do the work and that'll be that you're already doing the job why add a middle man to the mix yeah especially a bad one

an awful one how do you not do the math to get paid the invoices most of the time literally awful one. How do you not do the math to get paid? The invoices most of the time, literally most of the time, have math errors in them. I take the big iPad out. You ballpark it.

You know? I take the big iPad out so they can see the numbers as I add them up. Do it twice, get the same number. Then we all agree that the math was wrong. And it's not always malicious. And last time, two were in my favor

and one was in his favor. I'm fairly confident that he's just a stupid, lazy person. He's making three different errors. That's great. There were like three different invoices, right? And all of them were messed up oh I see and markable impressive yeah

that would be so embarrassing if I were like right someone's counting down and doing the math in front of you hey guess what this doesn't add up it's just again again just addition buddy just sorry Kyle your math was wrong again again just addition buddy just sorry kyle your math was wrong again again um i would be so embarrassed by that like yeah you know i'm not good at math what do i say like there's no excuse for that there's no excuse when you're a grown-up and your math is bad it's just like poor education what do i say i like having his boss around for these conversations now. I've been CCing his boss all the time. Like on the punch list, on mistakes. I just CC him constantly. I guess it's a dick move, but I just kind of want him exposed.

I want everyone to know what the deal is. I don't want it to just be hidden between the president and I. The owner needs to know. The license holder. I mean, the president and I, the owner needs to know, the license holder. So I think my project... Maybe he'll be the last one he does this to. Dude, they have big projects going on. They have million-dollar bids and stuff.

They have more than one million-dollar bid that they're working on. They are going under so hard. Like, here's the thing. Today, I wrote a check for half the materials on the stairs. Well, I wrote him a check. And they just had me forward the check so it goes directly to the supplier. That tells me that the one grand, they don't have it in the bank. They can't float it.

They want it to go straight through. Right. Dude, if you're a construction company without a grant in the bank, you're cutting it close. Yeah, that doesn't work at all. Well, that's what happens when you don't do the math part of your job. And you sell yourself short. Yeah, you need tens of thousands of dollars.

What if you needed to go buy a bunch of fixtures or something? If you needed to go buy lots of materials, it gets expensive fast. You usually can buy that on credit, but, I mean, that'll get yanked from you before long. Yeah.

Well, we can only hope. Dude, I don't know what's going to happen. Bankruptcy, let's go. I don't know what's going to happen to her after my job, but I found out how it works. Basically, do you know how Jamal's got to lean against the house?

Yeah. So I need the escrow account they created for the amount of the lien to get bonded by the court, and then I'm safe there. And then once I pay off Ed, no one can put any further liens on my house, and I'm done. And the existing lien, we hired an attorney and found out how to protect ourselves. And the existing lien, you know, we found out, we hired an attorney and found out how to protect ourselves. So, yeah, so what happens to them after that won't really be my problem. But I don't predict great things for them. I hope good things don't happen to them.

This is ridiculous. We're four months out now. Yeah, it's insane. We'll call it a show there. I got to get in the bed soon okay uh Painkiller Nearly episode 33

fuck Jamal laughing
