Painkiller Already - PKN #40

Episode Date: May 28, 2015

In this weeks episode of PKN, Kyle talks about his Airsofting experience, Squatters!, Woody's Mom and Civ talk!

And we're live. Painkiller nearly episode 40. Kyle and Woody and Taylor's here. Hey guys! Taylor, you kind of went off the rails on PKA last week. Oh yeah! It was awesome! Did what happen think we happened? Oh yeah! I'll never understand why for some it's only when i talk to you that like something else takes control of like my uh my camera and it just completely loses all the zoom and goes back to there does that i feel like it's a magical power like i have electro powers or something oh manual zooming i like it drag it closer what. What is it? Is it a TV, a monitor on a cart with wheels? Tripod.

I just stuck my webcam on a tripod. So because it's like, I don't want it here when I'm not. Well, for one thing, I wouldn't like, like I never get laptops that have the camera because I'm always afraid somebody's watching me all the time. Sure. But for another, I just like the ability, ability to just grab this thing and just put it over there against the wall and it's completely out of the way and so we'll talk about it next pka for sure but did you see the footage of murka and melissa yeah you saw it yeah i was thinking about one opening

one it's like the whole time like have a girlfriend like writing me facing that way what what's the problem she's working out that's all that's all i didn't catch it during the show did you catch it during the show well no because i i always i usually just you know when i you see my eyes kind of looking up and to the left i'm looking at myself i look at myself the whole time because i'm an asshole like that. I'm like, yeah, good, Kyle. This is nice. I'm barely looking at you guys. I caught him stealing looks at her all show long, right? And I thought it was just kind of an affectionate, new love kind of thing going on there.

It's like, oh, good for them. I did not catch the whole handy thing. Someone put it in. If people don't know, there is a rumor that Merka Durker was getting numerous hand jobs during the last Painkiller already. Or one long, drawn-out hand job. I checked the footage, and it happened.

I don't think he came on the show or anything. Okay, okay, okay. I don't think he came during the show. There was a point at three hours and one minute where they started like giggling together and she got up and washed her hands. I don't think that he finished on the show. I think she was seeing him in a, in a funny way.

I didn't know either though. I wasn't watching them. But, but after like watching the replays and you know, there were a few timestamps to, to check out. I think there was one time when like the discussion was a bit suggestive in its nature. We weren't talking about penises or sex or anything,

but it was something about something being thick or something being long or something like that. And she kind of looks at him like, I got your dick in my hand right now. It's thick. And he's just like, yeah, it is. And there's a whole understanding between each other. And he's just like, yeah, it is. And he's like, he has a whole understanding between each other. Your accent's all right. Yeah, it is. Yeah, we had this whole like little private conversation,

private joke going on between them. So that was funny. I thought it was funny. And she didn't seem too embarrassed by it or anything. Her Twitter was great. Yeah, yeah. She's been grabbing crotches since she was a little kid. And there's like her at Disney World grabbing Goofy's.

No, Pluto. I don't know. The yellow one. It'd be Pluto, yeah. Yeah, the dog. I think Goofy is owned by Six Flags. He's a Looney Tune. Then that changed because Goofy is definitely a Disney thing.

Then I'm wrong. Yeah, you're messing with the king now. No, a little. What I'm wrong. Yeah, you're messing with the king now. No, what does little Dickie say? You're messing with the god now. I just know when I go to Six Flags, I remember as a kid, there's a really kiddie section of Six Flags for the really small kids. And I just remember being fed ice cream or pudding by a person in a costume. And it seemed like it was Goofy.

I thought it was Goofy. Who cares? But in any case, yeah, it was goofy. I thought it was goofy. Who cares? But in any case, yeah, I saw that. I thought that was funny. A little bit of spice to the show. I thought it was a good show anyway. Anyway, as if that took away from the show. That adds to the show, quite frankly.

That's what I meant. I thought even without the hand sex, it was a good show. But with the hand sex, great show. Great show with the hand sex great show great show i wanted to call it top 10 i don't know they give they fuss at me for saying that too often but i swear i don't say it more than once every 10 um it's been a good 15 or 20 since i've said it and we've had some good ones but i just didn't know if i wanted to label them top i got i got a letter today from a fan he said that we were on a real hot streak. He said the last 25 have been just excellent.

He loved them a lot. He sent me a self-addressed envelope and a dollar. He wanted me to sign the dollar, so I'm going to do that for him. I'm making a lot of weird stuff in that PO box. PO box 102 Carnesville, Georgia, 30521. I really like seeing the look on the post lady's

face because I got the small P.O. box and so when I get a big package they just give me this yellow card in my box and it says package was too large and I have to go to her and then she comes out of the back with this whole big thing and they're from all around the country and they're like lumpy sometimes.

It's always funny. Why is this one dong shaped? Yeah, yeah, right? Yeah, if you guys want to send me silly stuff or sentimental stuff or fun stuff, I just like opening it. It's like a little Christmas every day. People have been writing me personally on Reddit a lot lately. Like I don't know if it's because I'm more active or what, but I've been getting – and some of them are like a big deal.

Like, Woody, I'm going for a job. I'm having a hard time. Like it's back to Mail Monday status again. I'm like – it's a lot to answer. That's all. Sometimes it feels like a second job and it's like, oh, man, you know. Is it my responsibility to get back to all these? I don't know.

I just, like, when you write, who is the old school columnist? Dear Annie or something? Wait a minute. I don't know. Okay. They used to be, like, this old columnist dear Annie or something wait a minute I don't know okay they used to be like this old columnist sometimes you'd write about personal advice sometimes it was like relationships with your mother-in-law or whatever and

he kind of hoped your letter got picked that's how Mail Monday was but now I almost feel like I'm supposed to reply to everyone I have been but I don't know isn't there a way that they can get those questions in through Patreon? That's what they should do. You should become a Patreon

and then your questions go straight through us and we're going to answer them. They come to us about once a month in a big list. That's what you should do. Go become a Patreon.

I like that idea. There's probably a lot of Patreons listening to this. So you people are sexy and most likely rich. Yeah, I like those Patreon people.

I had sex with eight of them last week alone. Oh, yeah. I'm so glad i signed up chafing too i wish we could have secured that wet platinum sponsorship that's a shame they didn't oh my wife didn't like that idea she just thought it was bad for the brand you know for me to do like a big wet platinum video well in a pka slippery when wet

i see i had so many plans. I had this idea for like lubing up wings and having them go down that super slide. And I was like budgeting what it would cost to make a super slide and all that stuff. It was going to be great. But that wasn't going to work out. I didn't think that the lube company was that dirty. Now, the sex machine thing, the like auto blow 2000 or whatever, I agreed with her on that one. That's one of those things where it's a little

racy. And I think that we here, you and I, and really everybody that's in my little group, most sex talk isn't going to embarrass me. You can't embarrass me at this point. I've been around. You're not going to shock me with a vagina or talk of some sex toy I've never heard of.

You want to put something your pee hole you go right ahead but i feel like a lot of the people out there that are like in our real lives like i could just see like i don't know hope's friend hope's potential boyfriend's parents see you on there like welcome to pka slippery when wet. Today, we're going to have some fun. It's not the other parents that concern me. And this hasn't happened, but I try to make sure it won't. I worry about her getting heat in high school because of something that I said. Like that's what I wouldn't want.

You know, if all of a sudden it was like, Hope's dad is slippery when wet. And like, I don't need her but she's kind of thriving in high school right now i good school's a scary place i often wonder if i would have preferred instead of public school some sort of academy some sort of private deal where like i'd be i i don't feel like it would have been easier to fit in necessarily or make friends or anything i just feel like it would have been a better education. I look back on my high school days and I'm like, I didn't learn anything that fucking year. You were a scumbag teacher, Mr. Johnson. I had to go on the internet and learn that shit. So I think about that sometimes. Our public school system sucks.

I just got back from an award ceremony and Hope picked up a couple trophies or something, and she was named captain of the speech and debate team. Captain Hope. That should be her new Steam ID, which you should use to play me in Steam. I think she'd be better off on your team. At this point, I have to imagine you've surpassed her. I know she hasn't played much lately. I've been playing a bunch.

I've been playing way too much, to be honest. My sleep schedule is fucked in the ass. We stayed up the other night. The Skype call was nine hours, 38 minutes long, I think. We came away just completely victorious. It was great. their throat all of them they uh they didn't have a chance but by the end we had those big infantry armies and artillery and like the big special boats battleships and destroyers and they were a few techs behind and we just ran train on them it was great um and they it was funny they were coming up with excuses well it's getting pretty late like yeah as the army like every turn goes like this to your city like closer and closer and closer. That doesn't bother me, provided it's, like, you know, look, if you're crushing me at chest and I have nothing left but a pawn and a king, you can knock the king over and be like, look, you won. You know? I forfeit a lot.

Yeah. You know, I could have drug this out for 13 more moves or something, but. Hours. And in Civ, it's hours. Yeah. You know, but it's, I don't know how much I, when I first moved to this house, my sleep schedule was great. And there's no curtains in this house to this date.

I, I can't name a curtain. I think we have literally zero, which means that, you know, come 630 or so you're waking up. You don't want to wake up at 6 30 well that's not up to you yeah it you know it's rise and shine baby this the sun is on and uh and that worked out great but i swear like that civ game and then a pka and and then just me not being like i it's monday as we say this right? There's no reason that a Thursday show should still have me off. But I haven't worked to fix it.

You know, even today, I think I slept from like 10 to 11 in the morning or something like that. I'm worse. I'm so much worse. I really, I think I'm going to get some B12 or something. I don't want to abuse my Adderall. I don't take it regularly. I take it when I have to do stuff. And I don't want to be taking Adderall. I don't take it regularly. I take it when I have to do stuff. And I don't want to be taking Adderall every day. But what I do want to do is get more energy.

I feel like I'm running at it. I wake up whenever I wake up. And then it seems like I've only got four hours before I'm feeling like nap time. The other side of it is melatonin, right? That helps you sleep. And I've told you this before, so let me tell it for listeners.

Melatonin's in your body already and it's the I guess drug it's the chemical that makes you want to sleep so you take your melatonin and about 15 minutes later you'll want to go to sleep and that lasts for like 20 minutes or so and generally you fall asleep during that time

if for some reason you decide to power through it like you take your melatonin, but you're such a big idiot that you keep reading Reddit and you won't stop. This has been me. Then, you know, it starts in 20 minutes and then there's a window, right? So we'll call it minutes 20 through like 40. If you power through that, it's over. That's it. You're not waking up in the morning from the effects of it like you're not being drowsy or whatever it just provides a window where you can fall asleep where you might otherwise be

like bored i've got a prescription for ambien but i don't take it very often just i take ambien when i i take ambien when i have a big day tomorrow that i'm like if it's painful if i'm i'll get i'm like a kid i get excited about the paintball that's coming tomorrow and i can't sleep and it's painful if i'm i'll get i'm like a kid i get excited about the paintball that's coming tomorrow and i can't sleep and it's like frustrating because so it'll be like two in the morning and i'm just like tossing turning tossing turning i'm like all right if you go to if you were to fall asleep this instant you have like six hours you're doing the math and the timer keeps going and my phone does the time for me down to the minute of course so it's it's like ah that's it's not six hours it's five hours and 38 minutes that's

not as good and it's just on and on and the whole night and it's just then you're just then you get in this trap of like worrying oh if i don't fall asleep in 38 minutes then it's not even five hours and anything less than five hours and i and i don't operate as well like i i it's hard to fall asleep when you're in a rush to fall asleep and i so've been there. So I take valerian root. I think that's a pretty good alternative to your melatonin. It's a similar thing. I take these valerian root capsules sometimes because I feel like the Ambien is just a punch in the head.

But if I take two Ambien, which is my dosage, I'll be out in 20 minutes. But if you fight it, and I have done that before, basically you get high. You're in a hallucinogenic almost time. I've never taken any mushrooms or anything like that, or any acid or anything crazy, but people have described it like that, and I know this. I feel weird. It's's a bizarre experience i'm not sure if i like it and uh and even worse than that once i took two ambient and i woke up in the night and i had to pee really bad so it just like woke me from my sleep maybe two and a half hours later and i

stumbled to the bathroom um like i was like i'd had 10 shots of alcohol like i i was drunk how long does it last though because my thing is let's say hypothetically you had- Eight hours. See, that's not good, right? In this scenario where, oh no, I'm down to four hours. I need to fall asleep. Melatonin is great because the impact it has on you is 20 minutes from now or 15 minutes from now, you'll have a window to fall asleep. But 45 minutes later, you didn't take it.

It's over. You powered through your window. You were stupid. That's it. The window's closed. Now you have to take it again if you want it. And I like that about it. It doesn't impact tomorrow at all. Heck, it doesn't impact an hour from now.

Whereas some of the stronger stuff like Ambien, I don't have much experience with it, but I've been told, you know, you can wake up in the morning, not yourself. Yeah, totally so. You want to take it with plenty of time to let it run its course, which I think, I think they say, make sure you have got a full eight hours to devote to sleep. And, uh, so as long as you do that, you're fine. And I haven't felt any side effects, but I don't take it regularly. I, uh, I take it when I have those things to do when it's like, oh, tomorrow's the big day day. We're filming tomorrow.

I'll be up all night worrying, do I have duct tape? Do I have two rolls of duct tape? Is it a good duct tape? Because I always get somewhere to film or something and it's like, we don't have the roll of duct tape. I've got to drive to town or the gasoline or some bullshit. Some tiny component that'll fuck things up. That's how it is when I work on stuff. It's frustrating. It's such a it is when I work on stuff. It's frustrating.

It's such a nice feeling when you come prepared though. When you're like, oh, you need that? And you've got a toolbox full of everything. You've got those extra batteries. You've got the knife when you need it. That's how it was in Apex. Now my tools are split between two homes and that's an issue.

Tomorrow we meet with a guy to get a quote on prepping the Apex house for sale. Basically we just want to paint it one color, some sort of neutral everywhere, fix a couple carpets and sell it. Great. Great. It's awesome. I hope it sells quickly. I want it

gone. I want that not to be a thing that I do anymore. Yeah. A home comes with all those responsibilities. All the taxes and all the things that come along with owning that property and that structure and everything. An unoccupied home can take sudden bad turns. You know, like if there's a leak in a pipe or something and you're not there to catch it, it can be awful. My wife was like, the apex house has a stray cat. Now I don't know how serious that is or what the scoop is or

whatever, but it's like, yeah, you know, today today it's a cat tomorrow it's a raccoon in the crawl space or something fucking with all your insulation let's get that sold then you got the squatters in there buckets squatters would i how would you handle it if there were a squatter and you had the apex house like i do i might kill them there's squatter laws that's the problem there's there they're there's laws about that sort of thing but i swear to god i'd walk in that house now i can't do it but i'd be like squatters got them oh oh boy i thought they were gonna kill me they were in my there's to kill me. They were in my house. There's a castle law here.

They're in my house. I wouldn't do that. Not anymore. They might catch a beating. They might catch a real beating. I know when I was looking at houses, we were looking at all these different locations around. There was one not too far from here. And my friend and I go to the place,

we pull up in the driveway and we start kind of looking in to see. It's got the real estate lockbox on the thing. There's a code to get the key out and we look in there and there's stuff in there. Not stuff that got left behind, someone's squatting in there. There's blankets and pillows shoved in a corner and some food and stuff laying around. Someone's squatting in the house. And I was like, I don't want to consider it now. Somebody's been shitting in a bucket in this house. Somebody's been living in there as some sort of a hobo.

There are hobos living in this house right now. Some form of like, if we're like best case scenario, some poor down on his luck guy. Worst case scenario, it's a criminal or something. I don't want to live here. So like we just called the cops and got out of there. But if it were my house, they'd definitely get held.

They'd go to jail right then. They'd get held at gunpoint or something for trespassing until the police could get there. And they might get their asses kicked a little. But I wouldn't shoot them. I wouldn't like that at all. I see those situations for those, I don't know if there's squatter laws across the globe but basically if you leave a detroit video yeah yeah yeah i there's a detroit video and the reporter goes and he basically goes

so the guy owns a home and there's squatters in it so the reporter who's awesome shows up in like a bathrobe like i'm gonna start living here too heck with it he's like you know he's like who are you to tell me not to live in this house it's not yours and they're like well it's not yours either yeah well i'm squatting i got permission from the owner to be here yeah this is the owner he said i could be she said i could live here all i wanted so i'm here it was good the bathrobe was the best prop too it just made him look so ready to like be at home yeah yeah he might have had toothpaste and toothbrush i'm not sure he's just like what i'm ready i'm moving in this is great i don't like squatters i i know that

that i know in some situations i'm sure it does it comes from a place of you know just being a real hard tough jam in your life i don't know what it's like to be homeless. It must be incredibly terrible, but that's my fucking house. I just, I never see the squatter side of it. And I know there's some people who are going to be like, well,

Woody, you know, you earn money and stuff. Of course you don't. But I, even Lee, like how can you just move into someone's home and claim it as yours? Like you have some right to be there.

Like I, I can see why you might let someone stay in a home you're not using out of kindness but when that kindness is up it's your right to kick them out i just don't get how squatters have rights i don't like that at all and um it's one of those things where i'm like i just want to be hands off from lately or a political question someone were asking me to vote on, I'd be like, I don't fucking care. I'm going to abstain from this one, but don't you move in my fucking house.

Cause I'll call Woody. He will gun you down. We have a plan. So yeah, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't play to airsoft this week. I, I'd always been like poo pooing it saying that I wouldn't like it.

And, um, I felt like it wasn't fair to keep saying that cause I'd always been like poo-pooing it, saying that I wouldn't like it and I felt like it wasn't fair to keep saying that because I'd never actually done it. Don't knock it before you try it. So I went to this place called SS Airsoft in Atlanta. It's all indoors. I rented like an M16

M4 type rifle. Close combat, indoors, lots of structures. Lots of structures. Lots of close quarters. It was as close to Call of Duty as you're ever going to get. It reminded me a lot of Call of Duty. Covering fire worked. The problem with it is this.

It stings. It really does hurt. It hurts more than I used to think it did, and it hurts plenty enough to keep you from... Holy smokes. That's a good one. Yeah. It hurts plenty enough to like keep you in line to

like keep you from doing stupid stuff like in laser tag you just running around you don't care if somebody hits you but in paintball you're like i'm not gonna do that somebody'll shoot me and it'll hurt like a motherfucker and my thought process was that maybe in airsoft it just doesn't hurt enough to keep people honest to keep them playing a strategic game that's not silly and doesn't break down quickly um it does hurt enough the problem is everybody dresses up like they're fucking gi joe everybody's got this big combat pack on so you don't feel it i wore a t-shirt i wore a t-shirt and uh sweatpants and i really paid for it i got a lot. It really had hurt like a motherfucker. I'm just covered in like little welts everywhere. The guns shoot pretty fast.

I like peek through a hole I shouldn't have, and three BBs come through instantly. And I'm just like, ah! You know what I liked? Now, maybe a better paintball player would not buy this argument. But for me, I kind of shoot a paintball to see where it's going. I mean, I aim it, but you shoot it,

and then I can adjust. And my second or third shot is usually on target. Maybe even fourth if the guy's really far and I'm lobbing long balls in. But it takes my second or third shot before I'm on target. Now, with an airsoft gun, it's a scope that works. Like, everyone in airsoft has a strike fire help me with

the paintball that goes straight and fast with the tail on oh first strike first strike that's what i'm looking for everyone in airsoft has the equivalent of first strikes they better it's better they're so fucking accurate um i was able to there would be a guy across the field like maybe 35 yards away and i was like i'm gonna shoot this guy in the head and i would you know it's uh they're very accurate i couldn't use the sights because i had a paintball mask i think if i go again i'll get like just goggles with one of those mesh uh like you know like like sub-zero has and uh like one of those deals but i don't know i don't think i liked it i i was in there and and just running around and shooting people and i just wasn't enjoying myself i wasn't having fun i thought a lot about why i don't know. I don't think I liked it. I was in there and just running around and shooting people,

and I just wasn't enjoying myself. I wasn't having fun. I thought a lot about why I don't enjoy it. And I think, for one thing, I don't always know when I'm hitting people. Like, sometimes it's like real life. They're so far away, and I'm just like, choo-choo-choo-choo-choo-choo, and he ducks.

And I don't know if I got him or not. And they play respawn games, so it's even more like Call of Duty. So, like, you get shot, you run to the back, tag the wall, and then jump right back in so i don't know i just didn't like it i i didn't can i ask you this would you have liked it more if you played on fields closer to what we play paintball on that's a question i'm gonna try that i'm not i'm not completely done i'm gonna play outdoors next time i think i would have liked it if I'd had a better gun. I also think I would like it if those guns weren't... Why do they look like real guns?

That's one thing I don't understand. You look at a paintball gun and... It's a marker. It's a marker. Yeah. It looks funky like something sci-fi. Most of them do. There are mil-sim markers. But there's a lot of silly things. They're all anodized purple and green and

blue and I like that about paintball, but in airsoft, everybody's got M4s and AUGs and M16s and it's like, I've got all that stuff for real, so I don't want your cheaper version of it that's $300. So I started looking at other paintball guns and I found some airsoft guns and I found some sci-fi ones that look like battle rifles and look like laser guns and that's what i'd rather have i'd rather gears of war lancers right with the chainsaw on it that's what you need oh dude there were so many people with melee weapons at this thing they were guys swords stuck in their back like that guys with these little commando knives stuck like this everybody was i got surrendered somebody like rant one guy had a lightsaber one guy had a

fucking he was like wrong and it's CQB enough that like, if you walk into the wrong building, you could get lightsabered quick. Like it would be, and I was just like, God, please don't let that kid lightsaber. I really like that idea. Like if I was playing, I would want like the needle gun from Halo,

maybe a lightsaber, you know, like I don't know if that Milsim stuff is hiding you much. When I play paintball, I typically wear this blue and white portal jersey that's nothing like camouflage. If that doesn't hold me back too much in Airsoft, I'd love to do it there too. Yeah, I like to wear that stuff too. I don't like dressing up like I'm G.I. Joe.

I know some people think that I want to be a commando or something. It's not like that. I just like guns. The idea of being a commando or something doesn't appeal to me. I don't want to dress up and play army. I think it's silly. What he likes, I think, is it accurate to say you like precision remote hole poking

objects? That's the cool part of it. It's not about combat it's about a really good piece of machinery that does a neat thing i just like it it's beautiful it's a it's a beautiful gun is it i like guns yeah wow it's a wait that's a marker this is not a marker what the what is that it's a 1911 really yeah something about the way i'm looking it just looked way bigger than a 45 um what's not it's uh it's my trust you oh it's it's my springfield armory trp it's uh that's not what i was thinking of i was thinking really hefty what's the one you like a lot it looks very similar to that it's black it might start with a k like nightdale or something yeah my

night hawk that's it yeah it's actually thinner it's a it's a lot thinner they shaved a lot off the body it's lighter this one's actually really heavy but um but i don't know i like i like guns i don't the night hawk for sure they shaved a lot off the idea was to make it light so i like the airsoft concept but i didn't like it in practice um everybody there knew me too. That was annoying. There was an autograph signing and picture-taking line, and that started immediately. It didn't go the whole time,

but for the first 20 minutes I was there, they just kind of formed a line, and I must have taken 15 or 20 pictures or something. It was just like, I really don't want to do this. I just came to play, but I guess that's part of the deal. I get that, but probably one fifth the extent that you do. The caveat I'd put on that, because you have like five times as many subs, the caveat I'd put on that is I feel like my demo

is more concentrated, right? Whereas you get, you know, I picture a lot of adults at Cisco passing your video around. There's a ton of guys who work on construction sites passing your video around, along with a ton of high school kids and college kids and stuff who enjoy your stuff. With me, my whole demo right now is in high school and college. They were middle school, high school. Now they're high school, college.

That's all those guys. So when I go into an environment where those people are I it might rival yours because they're so concentrated I went to Collins he had a parkour thing yesterday and they were doing some sort of event or whatever and it was like that like some guy caught me at the buffet line there's like a potluck lunch type deal. And then when he came up and introduced himself to me and said he really liked my videos, he'd been waiting to meet me and stuff like that because he knew Colin was there. Another guy got up the courage to do the same thing, told me how I helped him through rough times and whatever.

And it's a mix. Like one, I'm really appreciative of it. You know, like I recognize that they like me and i'm thankful for that on the other hand i'm also spending time with my family at colin's little event oh yeah well i would never that the way i do it is on the inside i'm like i wish you guys would leave me alone i just came here to play a game but on the outside even when like the ownership was like hey we can have that stopped if you want us to i was like no no i don't mind because it's yeah i don't know they watch i always tell you know like you make great videos and my response is the same every time it's like thanks for watching them what can i do for

you you know so i i try to do whatever i can and by the time by the end i think everybody had once everybody had their picture and their autograph they mostly left me alone um not that i really wanted to be like left alone left alone but but they didn't crowd around me or anything. The one guy was asking about me getting shot in the dick at paintball. That was kind of funny. So, I don't know. I just didn't have a good time. I just didn't enjoy it.

I didn't like a lot of things about it. But the concept of it seems interesting. I like that the guns, we've said it before, especially you, the things you like about it. You can be light and fast. Even my shitty rental gun carried like 300 BBs or something in a regular AR-15 magazine. And it was fully automatic, but I shot semi the whole time. And I mean, I never ran out of ammo, not one game. And that was with respawns for like 10 minutes straight, just constantly on the trigger.

You just didn't run out of ammo. And the ammo is just slightly more than free, whereas in paintball, the ammo is a pretty significant expense. You could spend a couple hundred. 75 bucks for the two of us to go play airsoft, getting rentals, all the BBs. I got so many extra BBs. Like we didn't nearly shoot up that bag of BBs. So it was $75 for the day for that, whereas paintball is about $280

for the day. It's like a quarter as expensive. I didn't even rent guns at the paintball thing. That was just paint. If you had rented guns for two people, you might have added another $70 on that. Yeah, maybe. I'm not sure.

$50, $70. It's definitely a lot cheaper. there's 70 bucks on that yeah maybe i'm not sure yeah yeah 50 70 dollars so yeah it's it's definitely a lot cheaper and i think that's what dry drop uh draws a lot of people to it the guns are cheap too from what i understand three or four hundred bucks um some of the people seem to have really nice stuff and some had middle of the road i think airsoft where they get you the accessories like you can get a really nice gun that that mp7 i have is comparable to a real mp7 in like build quality and it's like 400 bucks but people put real life scopes on them you know people put real life the picatinny rails i hope i said that right um you know all the all the things that you might do to trick out a real life gun they do that at the same cost oh and the outfits they wear and stuff it's a big deal yeah yeah it's um i don't know i i think i i'm gonna do it again but i'm certainly not in a rush

to do it again i don't know i uh i like the idea of it but in practice it wasn't that much fun and it hurt a lot i think that i either wish that everybody was wearing t-shirts or that i didn't have just a fucking t-shirt on because it hurt too it hurts too much to uh to uh to deal with sometimes like I ran into a building and a guy shot me three times in the leg point blank and it I just kind of like crumpled I just I was like surrender like we're done here did you did you go alone no I took I took the girlfriend okay now how did she feel about the pain uh it hurt her a lot too I I think we were in agreement about that. She hated all those little kids too. I watched her get shot right in the neck one time and she was just,

ah, motherfucker. And so we're both cursing around the kids and I don't know. I think I'd rather play paintball. But if... I will do it again, but I'm not in love for sure. I'm going to have to work out. I'm going to have to find a way to make airsoft enjoyable for me, I think. Maybe just the right shirt would help a lot. Maybe so, yeah.

But then you get so hot. Like even wearing just a t-shirt, I was melting. Is there an outdoor facility? Because then you'd be hit by long balls and stuff. It wouldn't be so bad. But the thing about people denying that they got hit, that wasn't my experience.

Most of my kills were by flanking people and kind of long. I'll call it 30 yards. So here I am at 30 yards, and I'm hitting them like six times, and they want me to stop. Oh, yeah. When I got shot, I was always just like i'm out i'm out of here right an airsoft gun if your parents bought you a little plastic bb gun for christmas these are different these aren't spring-loaded toys they're like compressed air crazy things and yeah when you shoot someone with them they want you to

stop yeah there's two i think there's two versions i think there's the well maybe three there's the spring versions which i think those are the bottom of the barrel the cheap ones and then there's air powered and battery powered uh and and i don't know what the advantages are obviously with air you've got to have a tank of air i suppose and i was worried that the battery charge thing was going to be an issue like do i run out of batteries after a round two rounds is it like air where i gotta be like grabbing a new one but it seemed to last all day uh i'm not sure how i feel about the whole thing really hmm so i'm trying to think i'm still stuck on merca's hand jobs i watched the avengers i thought that was pretty decent. How was the scene that I slept through with the Hulk and the anti-Hulk? It was pretty good.

Yeah. It was good to see, like, because Tony had a few, like, you know, he's a genius. So he had come up with little things that that suit would do that would help. You know, you want to disarm the Hulk. And the Hulk's got this huge, strong arm. So, like, at one point, the Hulk's reaching for him. And Tony Stark's robot arm, like, encapsulates the Hulk and the Hulk's got this huge strong arm so at one point the Hulk's reaching for him and Tony Stark's robot arm like encapsulates the Hulk's arm and like

choo choo choo like locks his whole arm up inside of like a gauntlet and then he starts flying away with him and it's like yeah the Hulk doesn't weigh that much you could just fly away with him but that doesn't work out well and then there's one part where he's punching the Hulk and the Hulk's he's like grounded it's like a grounded pound scenario but Tony Stark's not doing this he's got a robot arm so his arm is just

reciprocating it's going and he's just like go to sleep go to sleep and the Hulk's just done done done done done so wait is Tony Stark in that machine yeah yeah I didn't get that Tony Stark was fighting the Hulk. Yeah. Why was Tony Stark fighting the Hulk? Because the Scarlet Witch fucked with the Hulk's mind. I think that's her name. And he went into a rage and was ripping a city apart, killing lots of people. I see.

So did Stark actually beat the Hulk? Or did Black Widow make him nice again? I don't even remember how that scene ended, if I'm being honest. Let's see, what did happen? Oh, yes, Stark did beat the Hulk. So what happened was Stark...

There was a giant building under construction like maybe 30 stories, something like that, but it had the cranes on them and everything, and it was all exposed with the eye-beams and the structural structural stuff pushed the Hulk through the top of that building all the way to the bottom, and then the

whole building collapses on him, like a huge skyscraper collapses on the Hulk and then the Hulk wakes up, and you can see he's starting to power down a little, starting to turn a little less green, but then he goes into a rage again and Tony knocks him out so that's it maybe I'll rewatch that movie I want to see that

scene maybe I'll wait for the torrent I didn't feel like it was the greatest scene ever I didn't think it was the best scene in the movie I liked I liked a few of the fight scenes in the movie I thought it was good I didn't think it was like the greatest thing ever, but you got all those heroes.

How could it not be bad? It's pretty well done. I didn't like that... What's her name? The assassin, the Romanoff chick. I didn't like how sensitive and vulnerable she was. I won't give any spoilers, really, but something happens to

her, sort of an emotional kind of thing and I feel like if it happened to Tony Stark, fuck that, I don't care I'm fucking Tony Stark. He just brushed it off. If it had happened to Hawkeye he would have just been like you know focus on the mission but it happens to her and she's all like it's a bunch of drama she's staring at walls and like all by herself thinking uh like longingly about this thing that's happened to her emotional life and it's joss whedon's supposed to be the strong female character the vampire slayer yeah and many

others he's done a lot of stuff and it's it's it didn't make sense i think that's why he got a lot of flack uh chis and i met chis mentioned that earlier i felt like they were holding him to a higher standard like lots of other people could have made that movie and they wouldn't have fussed at how the female character wasn't strong enough yet josh whedon makes that movie and all of a sudden it's like hey man you just you make strong female characters fuck you for changing who you are and now yeah wasn't that bad i think i don't know i slept it wasn't a huge it wasn't a huge thing but it was just something i noticed um i don't think there were any real flaws in the movie that i saw that i was just like hey what's going on there there were a few times when like

it was like wait how did you get here why is everybody together now i thought you were over there and doing this thing and but that's just the nature of a movie when you've got like eight or nine major characters doing a thing together across the globe. So I liked it. I wanted to watch Mad Max, but it wasn't in IMAX. And I'm going back to watch Mad Max tomorrow. I think that's going to be the...

It's not going to blow everybody away at the box office and make a billion, but I think it's the best movie in theaters right now. I think it's going to be better than The Avengers. I'd love to go to a movie on a weekday that helped me get straight but i uh my mom called today i i don't talk to her a lot her vacation schedule is ridiculous just for one she called me from the deck of a disney cruise ship as they were departing new york city you know and the call ended like, I forget, like the Coast Guard was escorting them somewhere in a helicopter. There was all this security around it.

And they were headed off to sea. I don't even know where. Like, yeah, I literally don't know where. Aquaman. You're Aquaman. Aquaman. You're Aquaman. But she watched it. She asked me how things were going, and I talked to her about that moment. In fast forward, for people who've heard it already, I've talked a lot of shit about my general contractor.

At the court date, he was doing this big handshake while teasing me about mowing my yard. And the handshake was this roundabout sort of thing where it seemed like the second half of it was like the hug. You know, like bring it in here for a chest bump type thing. And I was like, no, denied. And it was because I didn't want to seem so two-faced. I didn't want to like talk shit about him on PKA and then in real life be hugging the guy like we're friends.

So I told her about that and she said, yes, I know, I've seen the video. And I was like, right, and if you've seen Painkiller already, and I'm sure you haven't, she's like, oh no, I watch Painkiller already. I watch every minute. I can't wait for you to see your fat mom again. And I'm like, oh fuck!

My real life people aren't supposed to see the stuff I say on Painkiller already. I've explained that to so many people. I'm like, look, you can't judge me by the shit I say on there. We're being entertaining. Sometimes pedophilia is just the joke.

That's where I go. I've got that pedophile comment. I can be like, oh, like a priest. I can just put it in there. It's just all about being funny and entertaining. I don't mean that shit. Don't listen to what I say. I'm not an asshole. I learned recently there's some group of people, I think it starts with an M, I was

on Reddit, and they give blowjobs to their kids as a kind of just like an I love you. These are infant kids. So to them, it's not a sexual thing. It's just sort of a cooling, you know, like an I love you. And they view kisses as sort of a, I don't want to say foul, but a sexual thing that shouldn't be done in public. I'm sorry, I'm going to start over. You're telling me there's a group of people who give their infants oral sex?

On the boys. It's the boys, yeah. Does the mother do this? Yes, yeah. Just like a sort of cooling, you know. But the dad doesn't. I don't think so. That's how you know it's inappropriate.

Because the dad's, because it's not, honey, I'm tired. You want to blow a little billy? Yeah, of course. Where's he at? Like, that wouldn't happen. That's how you know it's inappropriate that's how you gauge uh that that's how you explain that to a person who's so insane he's they're blowing their child he's like oh so does your husband

blow billy too oh no that'd be weird that's that's disgusting um that's i i'm i'm much less on board with that than i am with those uh hesed or Hasidim, you know, those Jewish guys. Those, uh, those, uh, the foreskin. But which turned out not to be true, of course. Wait, that turned out not to be true? Yeah, they cut it, you know, with like the moil. You know, he uses a blade. They've got special like dick cutting instruments.

And then they, I've heard that they suck the blood to like get it to stop bleeding uh sort of thing but but they're not actually biting the foreskin off that's that would be a real i mean if you think about it i didn't think they were biting that i thought they were giving blowjobs basically to get rid of the blood or something like they were sucking the blood off it's just kind of a like you know you cut your thumb you're ah fuck yeah that's not an appropriate thing to do to a baby penis after you circumcise it was either but you're you're telling me these people are like ready for a bet all right then i don't think i'm painting the right picture i think it's more of a you know infant crying upset inconsolable needs little blowy you know to get it back on the on pace i read about it it was it was linked to on wikipedia and i'm i'm having a hard

time finding it again i'm not on board with that and i think that that's i don't think that's child abuse i think that some people might do it because they're weird, and it might kind of be child abuse. I believe that there might be people who do that, and it's kind of a thing for them, and there's nothing weird about it, but I don't like it. I wouldn't do it to my kid, and I wouldn't want it done to my kid. It's just weird. I forgot how I – oh, I was just going to say, like,

if that topic were to come up, the interest of entertainment i might be pro baby blowies all night long oh fair enough i understand where you're going then yeah that's where i was headed pro baby blow no i'm gonna have to distance myself from that shirt or whatever i could see for for a night just being like, yeah, baby blowies. You guys are making a real big deal out of baby blowies. They're just kids. Makes them stop crying. Whatever.

You say some things on the show, and it's not cool. Let me gauge your – see where you are on this. So here are the choices. You've got a new infant and you have two options you can either give him you can either like dip the nipple of his uh bottle or whatever uh and uh and like uh whiskey or something basically give the kid some alcohol and put him out or you can or you can have somebody uh blow him like god are you sure that putting him in a car seat and driving or perhaps running up and down the stairs while holding them

are not on the table? Because those work really well. Oh, well, I don't have a lot of baby quieting experience. So for me, it's either alcohol or BJs. That's all I know. So if it was alcohol or BJs, I sure would like to hire someone else to do this job. If it's...

You'd get a prostitute for this? Well, you know, let's just say hypothetical, like, I don't know, there would just happen to be like a, whatever, 19-year-old girl sitting on the couch. If I could hand over the boy

and be like, you know, can you calm him down? I'd pick that over the alcohol on the passie. Would you watch? I hadn't thought this through. So dark dark because you can't leave the stranger with your baby exactly right i i like you get like they gotta be like blowing your baby and you just gotta be like yeah pretty good technique there i like that i feel like the ideal situation

would be some sort of like webcam you know where you just make sure that you know from the other room or from upstairs that that she's not like's not putting a finger up the butt, doing it French style, and going next level on this thing. I don't know. I just really don't want to give my kid alcohol on his pacifier. I totally do that. I don't think there's anything wrong with giving your kid a little alcohol. I think it's been done for generations.

Lots of people do that. I remember when I was like seven or eight. Like, you know, if we didn't have any cough medicine, I've had homemade cough medicine. I have no idea what homemade cough medicine is. I've had homemade cough medicine. Here's what it is. You take, I don't remember the exact ratios, but if you Google this, I'm sure you'll find it. It's lemon juice, honey, Crown Royal.

It's lemon juice, honey, Crown Royal. So, like, you mix lemon juice, honey, and Crown Royal, and it sort of burns as it goes down. It's great. I can remember drinking that stuff as a kid. And not, like, you know, like tipping a bottle or anything, but just, like, you know, a spoonful or something like that, or a couple spoonfuls maybe as, like, an 8-year-old who can't go to sleep.

That's the other thing that puts you to sleep the alcohol yeah i'm finding stuff uh pretty like honey is a consistent one um ginger pepper thyme this excuse me this one says it doesn't mention the alcohol i thought that'd be only at my home apparently but baby blowies are definitely on the bottom of the list of things that I would want to be part of it just did that seems like a whole mess and the so so is there people who do this and like no one minds is that what's going on well I wonder if i can find the article again it was a reddit thing that licked to that linked to wikipedia um well that's just gross to me and i feel like maybe like it's fucking the kid up like that like you don't know maybe that kid's gonna be hitler now or something that maybe hitler's mom probably blew him that's that was the whole problem um this this will mess with your search history

and then it was a today i learned is it googling baby bjs or something yeah right here it is already on the way I have found it so search on the term man you how do I find M-A-N-C-H-U. Here it is. Instead of kissing, Manchu mothers used to show affection to their children by performing fellatio on their male babies, placing its penis in their mouth and stimulating it, since it was not considered a sexual act. While the Manchu regarded public kissing with revulsion, which was considered sexual.

So public kissing, a sexual act you don't do, but a little baby blowy, you know, just calms them down. Yeah. I don't like that. That's not going to be a part of,

I wouldn't, I wouldn't go along with that at all. That just real gross and i can i can just imagine like someone else like you might eventually be able to convince me that that's a that's a prudent thing probably not but you'd never be able to convince like the general public like when you whip your baby out of a restaurant and everybody's thinking like oh what's what are they going to do a diaper you're gonna like pacifier uh bottle she's gonna whip a boobie out like what's about to happen here and then she just starts blowing the kid right there at denny's like it wouldn't go over well wouldn't go over well at all so manchu appears to be an asian thing i just googled manchu and look at the images that

come up and it's all like makes sense samurai the japanese are always up to that weird shit they probably i'm surprised i'm surprised that it used like a fucking squid to to blow the bait right you just attach a little starfish right on this tiny little baby penis and uh yeah that's awful we talk about baby dick way too much on this show right and this is that circles back to the other thing. It's weird when your worlds collide. Then you meet someone in real life, and my mother's like, you know what? I didn't quite line up with you on the baby fellatio issue.

Yeah. Good, first of all. Yeah, I've had lots of arguments and fights and stuff with people who were, you know, they didn't like something I said on the show, or they thought that thought that i like misrepresented them and i'm like well i was just it's a show my mom lost weight and i think that was the the core point of the i can't wait for you to see your fat mother again um i mentioned to my wife and she's like right right she's been getting scouting reports from my sister-in-law and um apparently she's on she's on something for like add which might be adderall and she was on something else too like she's on a couple things that kind of like stimulate you and and suppress

your appetite and that's led to some weight loss it might have been just vitamin B12 and Adderall, something like that. And that combo is causing her to be more active, get her sort of walking up and going and stuff. And she's living a healthier life. My sister-in-law feels like this is terrible, that these things will take a toll on you. But so will fat. And pick your poison. Well, that's good, getting healthy. It's always.... So, yeah. Well, that's good, getting healthy.

It's always... I hope, yeah. Well, looking hotter is good, so that's a thing. Yeah. Go, Mom. I was listening to Melissa Etheridge today. She sings that song, Come through my window, I'll be home soon. You know that chick?

So she's like a... You didn't like that? You didn't hit the notes well? I don't like her version anymore. Oh, wow. So she was on the Stern show and she was talking about cancer and she was talking about this bracket gene or something that some women have that makes them more susceptible, more likely

to get cancer. And then she went on... They were talking about how Angelina Jolie had that double mastectomy before, just because she had the gene, not because she had any form of cancer, any signs of cancer. And she was talking about that she didn't like that choice. And she went on to talk about how that works.

She was like, you got to activate that gene. That gene will lie dormant as long as you live a good life. She's like, it's things like stress and unhealthiness that activate those things. I guess I knew that in passing, but hearing her say it like that was kind of different. I was just thinking about, yeah, I guess it is important to live healthy so that your body doesn't tear itself apart from the inside. Honestly, I started thinking about wings,

to be honest. I was like, if he has any genes, like surely his stress levels, I know they're huge. I've seen him, you know, get unhappy on streams and stuff and rage and stuff. That can't be good for him, not spiritually. He's not naturally cool-tempered, right? That's not the way he's wired. And it's genuine, too. It's not like he's putting on an I Get Angry show. That would be entertaining, and I would like it.

I wish that were the case. I wish that Wings were like, I wish that you Skyped and he was like, what are you about to do? Live stream. I want to come on Glued tonight. They're going to love it. That's not the case though.

No, he doesn't want to come on Glued on his live streams. And when you play with him and you're not streaming, when no one's recording voices or anything like that, it's the same show. It's upsetting for him. He cares a lot about the game. I can relate to that in a way. When I'm doing poorly at Civ,

a perfect example is when somebody else, when I'm trying to build the great library and I've spent all those turns of work and then somebody sneaks out from under me, I want to quit. I want to quit right then and there. Last time we played i was i think i was working on something big i spent a great engineer on it and they still beat me by a turn it's like that really sucks like that's yeah if you get it simultaneously i'm not sure how they like do a tiebreaker there but who knows

maybe it's first in line, because there's a succession, a turn. The hammers your city has would be an off-the-key guess. It might be how many hammers have been applied to the works. So maybe it takes 100 hammers to build the Great Wall or whatever it may be, and you've applied that great engineer to it, but maybe he worked on it a turn and then've applied like uh you know a great general uh that that great um engineer to it but maybe he worked on it a turn and then used a great engineer and he's got even more hammers i

don't know but that was shitty and i've only seen that once before i was on one of us was on the winning side of it i think it might have been me where i just beat the guy by a turn and it was in the live stream we still lost that game yeah damn it, Monkey. It's shitty when that happens. We've been having fun. I've been thinking about going back and playing Beyond Earth and trying to like that game. It's the sequel to Civilization V. It's Civilization VI. I've been thinking about getting out of Civ.

Yeah, really. I guess it was a month or two. I don't follow Gold Glove that closely. I like the guy. I want well for him in life, but I don't watch everything he does. I think he feels the same way about me. He's like, yeah, I for him in life, but I don't watch everything he does. I think he feels the same way about me. You know, he's like, yeah, I like Woody, whatever, but I don't watch everything. He's not PKA watching. Anyway, remotely, like through the grapevine, I heard that he like did a video saying like, look, I'm kind of doing an unhealthy thing here with the amount of game playing I have. Like I'm not getting enough outside time. I'm not,

my sleep schedule is not right or whatever. I line up with that. I've been thinking about quitting Civ. You've got your Minecraft duties to tend to as well. Civ is the only game I really play. I'll jump on something else occasionally, but it's like a 20 minute thing or a 30 minute thing. I'll play Mortal Kombat for

a few rounds or something, but Civ is a whole different scenario. That game we lost. I'm sorry. I thought there was a break in your few rounds or something but civ is a whole different scenario it's that game you can't that game we lost i'm sorry i thought there was a break in your speech but um that game we lost it started at like 8 p.m which to me is a reasonable time to kick off a game but it didn't end until like 4 30 maybe yeah i don't want to do that anymore i want to i don't i like waking up at like seven you know running through the shower and being ready for my day. When I'm back at nine after I take Hope to school,

and it's like there's so much day in front of me. It's only 9 a.m. I should run off to Home Depot and get that paint to fix this thing, or I should mow. It's still cool out. It is beautiful out at nine in the morning. I come back at 9 a.m. oftentimes my wife has like a breakfast made and we eat breakfast outside on like we like patio furniture it's nothing special but it's really nice to eat breakfast outside when it's still

cool out you know it's summer and I live in the south like you do but for the listeners you know it it's hot like you know, but, but for the listeners, you know, it, it's hot. Like, you know, it hit 90 today. That's not to me, pleasant outside, but in every morning is like 67. It's amazing. And, uh, I want to stop like staying up till four and then getting out of my bed, like sweaty and clammy at noon and showering at one and the rest of the world, like, you know, your responsibilities are immediately on top of you. Someone's got to be driven somewhere, taken out of school if you have work to get done

I mean, there's not that many hours left. It's time to go go. I don't know it's nice to be early to bed, early to rise. You use your time better. It's healthier it's happier. What I'd rather do I think early to rise use your time better and it's healthier it's happier so um you know i i want to i i what i'd rather do i think is like play minecraft from whatever 8 till 10 30 or 11 and

then wrap it up as much as i love civilization it really is just way too time consuming i wish there were a quick way to play it it's um playing single players like that you can and you can leave that at any time and save and walk away but you know what i just thought of um world of warcraft which i've never played not even once i'm told that's the issue like everything in world of warcraft takes six hours so if you want to do that game right you know like when people call each other and they want to do raids or whatever and the reason the guilds are so important you know because it's hard to find people who are as dedicated and devoted and awesome at the thing as you are it's the time i'm told everything in wow takes six hours or more you know some things take 12 hours and if you don't have 12 hours to play that game you're done that's yeah that's one of

the things i liked about cod so much you can play COD if you have 25 minutes. If you have 25 minutes, you can get in two games, do your thing, put it back down. You're fine. In Civ, 25 minutes is nothing. That's all it takes to set up and get started. Yeah. It's nothing. It's a real ordeal.

You know. I think it's that's why it's so rewarding maybe and i always i explain to people like this because it's kind of hard to explain how civilization works um in depth anyway and i i talk about sandcastles like imagine it as a sandcastle uh competition you know you're over here you build one gigantic sandcastle the other guy might build three medium sandcastles at the end our sandcastles fight we see whose sandcastle. The other guy might build three medium sandcastles. At the end, our sandcastles fight.

We see whose sandcastle is better, and no matter what happens, it seems generally, the guy with the better sandcastle is going to stomp your sandcastle out while you watch slowly. He's going to thump the fucking drawbridge, and it's going to vaporize, and then he's just gonna smear out the

western wall because he likes it and then it's just it's heartbreaking and that's that's why it's so addictive it is or maybe there's three people playing and now it's you know we all have sandcastles and for some goddamn reason player a picked a fight with me and i win but when i win i don't get your shit i'm suffering from the effects of that war now my drawbridge has been flicked with this finger in the top of the little castle they ripped the flag off and and the the wonderful farmland that's surrounded it has all been pillaged and it's smoking and it's meanwhile that guy who's not even as good as me, has been living his age of prosperity because he wasn't at war. And I have to come back and use perhaps

my superior skill and knowledge to overcome a guy who was an attack like I was, and that's just how the game, it's part of the game. That guy didn't do anything wrong by attacking me. He thought I would have clearly won, maybe. Or he thought if he got my city he could clearly win or who knows but when you defend an attack like that you know you're just hurt and uh and yeah some guy attacked chis in our last game okay and chis wouldn't let him go chis was like you've made a terrible mistake you were warned there will be no peace for hours for hours this

guy would be begging in the chat he's like chis is like i showed you i proposed a deal that would give you 10 turns a piece and you turned it down it's only getting worse from here and the deal is awful it's like give me two resource like give me two of your luxuries and make me super happy and you go deeper in the happiness hole and i'll leave you alone for a little while." And finally he just accepted it because Chiz wouldn't leave him alone. Chiz kept burning his shit. It was pretty funny. It really sucks you in. It's a huge time investment and you can easily play for nine hours and then walk away feeling

kind of like nauseous and like, I don't know know um weird just kind of like thrown off by the fact that you've been sitting in one spot uh for like nine hours minus like bathroom breaks it's the huge time investment so i i hate to call myself a game developer right but i i play a part in the creative process of making new games right and if you have a game that's, this is Woody Craft I'm talking about, and if you make a game that's really simple, where everyone can plop in, like it's TDM, you know, like here it is, it's an octagon, you know, this is our UFC game, but with swords, and you just drop people in, and they whack at each other, and it ends, then everyone instantly knows how to play, but it doesn't have that like depth that sucks you in and then you can go to

where like um what did you see the ending of parks and rec oh shucks so the the accountant character i forget his name of course invented a game like you know dungeons of gardia or something and uh you can tell this game is super complicated. It's like Dungeons and Dragons, but with a role-playing, not role-playing, but like a board game Dungeons and Dragons. Anyway, it's so complicated, you'd think, who would ever get into this? And that's where Civ is. Civ is so far to the, it takes 10 hours

just to understand the game you're playing. Okay, you want to correct me. I feel like it. So I still don't know half of what there is to know maybe. There's so many formulas that go into calculating stuff to calculate whether or not it's appropriate, for example, to build a road between your capital city and your second city. It depends how many hexes away it is

and what the population of each is. There's a formula. You do population times 1.3 times another number, and then you figure out your gold, and then you have to subtract that from the gold per tile cost. But that changes if you have scholars and residents passed, which is a diplomatic thing. And that's just the math that you need to do to determine if roads are appropriate. The same applies to every aspect of the game. Things like production. There's a whole way to manipulate the science tree where you use the extra beakers that you get. So let's say you're making 10 science per turn but it only takes 3 to get a science there's a way to abuse that system and have tons of overflow that keeps applying to the next tech

using great scientists and all that it's just difficult to wrap your head around it's you can play a you can you can learn to be an okay civ player and maybe three or four long of those long games but to be a really good civ player you just just can't have a life. I think, I feel like just to learn to be a Civ player takes 10 hours. Like it, that's hard to define, but you could be a COD player. If you play Gears of War, you'll be a COD player in five minutes, right? You'll learn the, the, the buttons on the controller. And now you're a COD player. You're not a very good one, but you know how to play this game. In Civ, that process is 10 hours. 10 hours just to understand how the tech tree works and what the things you're working on are.

When I played Civ V, got in a happiness hole, and it took me a little while to figure out why that was important. You know, the happiness hole turns out to be incredibly important. And I didn't know how to fix it for a while too it's yeah it's it's uh it's very complicated it's and that's what makes it and that that's where the skill is the skill and civ is in the complexity of the game um the

people who devote more time to it and are a little bit smarter uh get better at it that's it it is true it is a game that rewards like actual cognitive horsepower yeah but well and also that that can be substituted somewhat with just passion for the game like i know you yeah uh like you'll be in subreddits reading strategy you see something exciting about a guy who has i'll make up a number you know in 18 turns he's got his third city founded and you're like oh i'm employing that tonight you know we're gonna give it a go and see how that works you know so if you have a lot of passion for it and you read what other people learn and you can do well but yeah i personally i kind of want to get out of it like i want to break the addiction and and you know if you call call it that, and just be like, you know what would be good?

Waking up fully refreshed at 7 a.m. I like that. That's a good idea. I agree with you. You've got a great idea here, but I feel like I'm trending the other way. I'm thinking to myself, like, maybe I should go back and give Brave New World a new chance, because they've got a new

expansion coming that's all about the ocean, and they're adding a lot of ocean elements to Beyond Earth. And the reason I didn't like Beyond Earth is because I thought it was really linear. It was like, either choose harmony... There's three different ways to go about it. I can't remember

them all, but there was like three different choices and it really didn't seem to matter which one you went with. But now they seem to be adding a lot of complexity to it. And that's what they did with Civ V as well. You know, each brave new world and gods and kings, they added things like they changed culture around tremendously and they added the whole religious aspect to the game

and lots of tweaks and stuff. And maybe I should give another chance is what I'm thinking. The world nearly as well as I know Civ V. Like, it's just a lot of time. So we had a gap there where you froze for a second. But we didn't miss a word. And I'm trying to figure out how that works. Like you said, maybe I should give it another chance.

It was that long. But then it seemed to be okay like it seemed like the connection got broke but on my end it was like hang on to it hang on to it all right all right and then send it maybe it maybe it was just slowed down to a creep and that data was just was crawling somewhere or just like circulating somewhere and then it went to you. Yeah, and then it plays back at like one and a half speed which catches us up, but not so quickly that it's like a big issue.

I'm learning that if I just stay quiet, it'll come back and it'll be okay. All right. Well, I apologize for that. It's not your fault. What are you going to do? We've talked about this before and you said in the spring you thought you might be moving, but I feel like none of the precursors to moving have been kicked into motion.

See, that's more Kitty's thing than mine. Kitty wants to move. So whenever Kitty's ready to do that thing, that's her thing. I'm not in a hurry to move anywhere. I'm not moving anywhere geographically anyway. Yeah, so you're just like, hey, this situation's fine. Kitty, if you want to change it. Make it happen.

Yeah, pretty much. So we have a bead on her motivation level? Has she gotten more towards she likes where she is or she still wants to move? I don't know. I haven't really asked her about it. It really doesn't matter to me that much. I just don't care. It'll work out one way or another.

I'm just kind of focused on my stuff. Cool. But I mean, I could move at any time, I guess. I think every day you should touch on your new business. Just touch it. It doesn't even have to be a big thing. Even if touching it means you researched a thing even if touching it means you researched a thing if touching it means you did a follow-up call every day your goal should be just to you

know put in a few minutes toward it to keep it rolling yeah right now i'm waiting waiting to get some more information back from my lawyer um see but you shouldn't let that stop you, right? Like, do you have the full formula worked out? I'm guessing you're close, but not there. Do you, you know, even if touching it meant calling an equipment manufacturer and learning about their wares, you know, touch it. Just touch it every day. I can nag you if you want me to. Not a problem. All right, cool.

I'll do it. Yeah, yeah. Every day i'll ask for a status report there's uh there's just a few things that i gotta get done first and then i'm pretty much ready i i uh for the basic part of it i can name things that that you're not advancing on that i won't because it would reveal what we're talking about. Reveal your baby fellatio machine. I've got people on those things. There's feelers out. At some point, I'm just waiting to get back from people.

I have some contacts. But you'll send this thing into hyperdrive if you just touch it every day. Like, all right, I'm going to call this equipment manufacturer and see. I'll get prices and this and that. I'm going to talk to real estate owners and see, you know, how they feel about, you know, partnering up on this or that. I'm going to talk to this and that and just, you know, like get all your ducks in a row, multitask because like, you know, right now you might be waiting for your attorney to get back to you, but that's not holding up all this other stuff.

Why not? I want to hit the ground running. It's true. It's true. Yeah. All right. So, okay. I'll nag you. I'm glad that you want that. Sure.

Sure. I'll take some. I'm used to it. It's yeah. The idea is too brilliant not to do. If you keep doing nothing, I'm going to be your partner. And then I'm going to get all this shit done.

It's going to be like, all right, Kyle, I've watched you fuck this up for nine months now. You don't know it it but we're partners i'll get on it i'll get i know what needs to be done i just need to do it there's a i've gotten all the permissions that was that was my main hold up my one fear was that uh i was gonna have an issue uh i can't really talk about this without giving too much away, but yeah, you're right. Good deal. All right. All right. I like that last talk. I like the end. It's going to be, I don't mean, you know, I, God, at the risk of repeating myself, which is a slight risk,

I rarely do that. I like entrepreneurs. I'm excited by them. I'm excited by people who kind of roll the dice on an idea and and create something from nothing I think it's neat and uh and I look forward to your next one yeah I think it's gonna be cool and if nothing else it's gonna be a ton of fun to play with it'll be a fun business no dude you're gonna be you keep saying that you were the one who was like oh that's your minecraft server you were like I just don't know. Like two years ago, and I was just like, trust me, this thing's going to do well. So look, if I thought the Minecraft server was a little thing,

and I think this is a big thing, what does that tell you? That you're not good at measuring things. You're right. You're totally right. I also said this whole FPS Russia thing will never make it past Halloween he can't find any more pumpkins what's that I see you can't get him after how yeah right you're doomed why is he so short-sighted and anyway if you can't shoot pumpkins and you just have no target ideas it's over figure something out i'll get back on it you're right should touch it every day every that that's and

i've had that same thought myself and that works on everything if there's some big thing that's like that seems like a big boulder in your way that you just can't move it's hard to move a big boulder you just gotta chip away at it yeah that i i swear and i i'm gonna follow up with you all the time and it's going to change your life sure it's yeah you can be my you can be my life coach if you want it really will it's not the no it you actually do yeah no i'm serious no no this would be good i do need somebody to nag me about it um so that'll be good it's it's it's easy to be like ah we'll do that monday and then it's another monday yeah or it's easy to be like right now you know it's in this guy's hands we're waiting on him to move forward no you do not because because this thing you know like if i were to build a

gantt chart you know it has like six parallel actions that need to take place to make all this go. And just because one's held up doesn't mean the other five. It's an excuse you can make for yourself, but we both know better. We both know that these things can all be moved in place. Yeah, there's stuff to do. It's just not the fun stuff. In my head, I think what I'm doing is I'm just like, well, let's just wait until the fun stuff, and then we'll start worrying about packaging and like and start worrying about like what what you know is this

cardboard box the right cardboard box for for me you know that sort of thing but it would be good if I had that if I was like yeah this is my packaging this is this is you know this is what this is going to look like this is what the the you know the the name of the thing is I still haven't figured out a name that's uh I'd like you to ship a thing to me and see what it looks like on the other side yeah you know like so i had a um a monitor actually shipped to me and when it came the box looked smushed kind of like an accordion and i was like what the heck like no no not angry, though. I was talking to the guy, and I'm like, how does this happen? Like, it looked like a 300-pound man had repeatedly sat on it like one of those bouncy balls with the handle, you know, like a child's toy. And he's like, oh, just looking at this damage, I can tell you what the deal is.

It was on a conveyor belt, and on the side of the conveyor belt, like maybe near a corner or something, there's a wall. So what happened is it came up, it hit the wall, and it got smushed by all the things behind it. The conveyor belt's very powerful. The things behind it, as they follow, get very heavy. You can see how that would happen. We need to make sure that your product is conveyor belt proof, right?

If it gets accordioned by all those things, we can't have it leaking. You know, I hope I didn't give much away, but that, you know, yeah. So anyway, and it becomes critically important. You can imagine the scenario. So I don't know. Work out the packaging. Send some to your friends you know uh and uh you know see what it looks like on the other side and and all these things can be done in parallel we're not waiting on your attorney let's let's go get that fps russia

energy drink in the stores make it happen well now they know commie juice coming this fall all right well i'll follow up with this shortly anyway that was painkiller nearly i hope you guys enjoyed the talk uh if you're a patreon member i thank you so much you guys get this in video form and early if you're a non-patreon member, I think this goes up on Thursdays. We've been pretty consistent. Three out of the last four Thursdays, it's been on time.

But what happens is every week, kind of Tuesday or Wednesday, people say, where is it? Where is it? So going forward, it would be awesome if you didn't think of it as late until Thursday. So anyway,

Patreon people are smart, sexy, and rich. We love you. Bye.
