All right. Kyle was just talking about how he sends the dopest murder videos to the chat, right?
Yeah, absolutely.
Takes a lot of pride in that. Yeah.
Grand champion, fucking decade running.
I'll say you're my only friend who sends me murder videos every day.
So you're first place by a thousand miles in my world.
I call it a freedom montage personally
they're usually set to avenge sevenfold or creed or something something hard-hitting
and you just need to give it a chance i i was thinking about remember the trophy system from
cod that thing you throw down and anybody tries to throw a grenade or it so israeli tanks have those
and i've been watching video of hamas has been making their own rpgs like
they needed so many that iran gave them some tech and some advice and they make them in-house this
very specific warhead for an rpg you'll see it you'll be like i've never seen one like that before
it's kind of fat and then it gets small again and pointy um anyway it's an anti-armor warhead for
the rpg and you can see the trophy system blowing
them up like 20 feet before they can hit the tank just like taking something out of the air that's
moving so fast you can't see it how big of a range do those little trophy systems have just sitting
on top of the tank is it is it really like it gets 20 feet away and then it that's what it i mean i'm watching the video of
someone pops out and then boom right in front of the tank it sends out a projectile that explodes
and makes its own little explosion in front of their warhead to fuck it up because those those
warheads can't just hit anywhere they need to hit flush and it's a it's that um that um shape
charge so it's you know it liquefies copper or something
and injects that into a tiny hole that it penetrates
and uses that to...
Taylor, if you're unaware,
the kind of...
I don't want to call it a bomb
unless you call everything a bomb,
but the kind of munition that takes out a tank
is really complicated.
And there's this cat and mouse...
First, they hit the tank really hard
and then they come up
with like an explosive that sort of shoots out and hits it so then they decide they need to
explode like six feet away and then shoot something really good into it so then they decide they need
like a cage that's six feet away so it blows up at the wrong spot and it's just like escalating
you know attack counter-attack etc israeli tanks are that makes sense for what
they're doing right now they're made for absorbing lots of hits they've got more they're slower have
less range um than like what we would use or what the the europeans would use but they're made for
wheeling up and machine gunning people down when they try to pop out of their the holes rpgs and
stuff what about a personal like you're talking about the cod trophy system oh is that a is that a real thing
that you could set up personally like in that game i don't know what no like i i i guess that
wouldn't make sense because even if you blew up a bomb 30 feet from you like it's not a hollywood
bomb it's gonna fuck you up like you know that's that's an interesting thought like i don't know
we got so much money i'm sure they're like hey can we take the thing that protects the tanks
and put it on a guy's helmet? Why don't we all
just wear one? General, I want you to watch
this Let's Play with me real quick.
Yeah. Just for an idea.
You see how they're locking B-Dom down
with a series of trophy systems, riot
shields, and what is this?
What are you showing me?
Sir, please stay with me. Let me call my skill streak.
It'll all make sense.
General Try Hard is all about objectives um so yeah i don't know about a personal trophy system
but i did i had never seen the one that's on the tank operate in real life certainly not combat
you know maybe some future weapon shit where they show a demo of something and we've made it up we've
all made videos you know all right let's try that again. You do it until it works.
Have you seen the way Hamas is handling that?
Because this is Bloomer.
What are they doing now?
Rather than shooting it with an RPG,
they run up to the tank.
They put it right under the turret.
This is the big top armored turret.
It rotates.
There's enough room in there for a little RPG.
They put it under there
then they run away and it blows the i guess it kills everyone in the tank i saw a clip of that
like someone destroying or i guess a hamas guy destroying an israeli tank and like it was so
good of gopro video that i was like is this is this real am i being arma ford right now it looks so realistic and it so i know a little bit
about this that tank movie with shia labeouf like exactly yeah running up slamming the bomb
running away called so there's training footage it is yeah there's training footage of that and
um i think that's what you saw i think it's them training with like dummy stuff from because
there's lots of that training video of them the tank was moving used if it's i think there was
training footage where there was a tank sitting still and then i also saw one where the guy runs
up and he places it and then he runs back to his buddy who grabs a shoulder mounted one and then
they shoot it again that's what i think that's real yeah yeah so they basically happening so
that they they had
to blow up like the outer shell of the tank with that thing to weaken it and then fire in probably
on the other side of them i don't know if oh yeah there's multiple vehicles they all died a minute
later i'm sure right i don't know i saw the footage yeah i yeah that's when my mother watches
me paramotor she takes comfort in the fact that someone put this on the channel.
Yeah.
If I'm watching this, he made it.
Yeah.
It's true.
It's not going to the cloud.
It's pretty interesting, the whole thing.
They're deep in there now.
Those flares they shoot off at night.
Have you seen that when they're shooting the illumination flares over the city?
And it's crazy bright.
They turn that fucking wasteland they've created back
into daylight so that they can kill more.
It's wild. Did you see
the
Iron Dome
twirly misfire clips?
Yeah, that was cool too.
It goes and then
in the air like you would imagine a misfire.
It hit a building right in front of the cameraman.
It spins and then slams down back into the ground.
It hit a building in front of the cameraman. It's weird when you see stuff like that in war and then you're like that's how it would have looked in a movie i guess some of the stuff they kind of get right
like little curly q fail and then you guys picked a side oh yeah i pick america as a side and we in
our best interest is avoiding it entirely. I think it's Lebanon.
I get all those little countries mixed up. I'm sorry.
But I think it was Lebanon. They declared
that we're in. They declared war
on Russia or whatever. And they launched.
On Russia.
No, no. On Israel.
Israel.
And so they made this little propaganda video where
some Khomeini type character with a beard
and a weird hat. It was like, death to israel uh we're gonna launch all of our cool
shit and they did they they sent hundreds of drones and intermediate missiles and they sent
a bunch of ballistic missiles those are these advanced missiles from probably iran they go
into space you know and then come back down and hit your target. Well, I mean, if you want it to get...
Yeah.
I thought they were close, but I don't know.
They're not going to space.
No, no.
Yeah, they are going to space.
They're going all the way up to space?
They go into space,
because the next part of what I'm trying to tell you
is that Israel, for the first time,
used their aero defense missile
launched from one of our cool F-35s,
and they shot the missile while it was still in space.
And they've got video of them shooting the Lebanese missile out of space.
It's great.
That's what you get for your $3 billion a year, Taylor.
No, no, I want to keep that money.
We give that much to Harvard.
I checked what we give to Harvard alone.
That's the federal endowment to Harvard alone.
Israel, are you sure the U.S. government we get to Harvard alone. That's the federal endowment to Harvard alone.
Are you sure the US government gives money to Harvard? Yes, 100% sure. Them and multiple Ivy League schools totaling like 15 billion total. I think Harvard gets about 3 billion a year.
Yeah. You can Google it. I mean, they'll tell you right away if I'm wrong. I could have had
a fever dream. I'm always willing. Sometimes I dream things and believe they're real.'s i swear to god sometimes i'll have a dream what he'll be mad at his wife
because he dreamt she did something naughty sometimes i'll dream facts up i i just i don't
see why as a an american with no connection to that region or the like why i should pick a side
like i don't want anything to do with the Middle East. Nothing. At all.
Ignoring the
COVID stimulus, which I guess
it got some money for that,
it got $22 million
for the work-study program.
That's less than
$3 billion, so you're missing
a significant amount
of money that I mentioned.
Well, yeah, but it implies that I'm missing it.
I was watching CNN.
So CNN has been,
their New York intellectual overlords
have been putting the finger to CNN for the last week,
letting them know that they need to change their coverage a little bit.
And they showed me a bar graph where they were showing,
why are we sending this much money to Harvard every year if they're going to be promoting
these terrorists? I think we need every name of everyone in that parade. Make sure we don't give
them any jobs. They have the big electronic billboards of all the student groups that
signed on to that Palestinian support letter. It's real fun to see the far left eat the middle
of the left. And the Biden administration doesn't know what to do.
Where do we stand on this?
Israel good.
Israel good.
But then the Ila Omar, like, I don't know, brown, funny hat wearing side of Congress is over there shouting today, showing dead children and shit.
So it's a bad look for them.
I am personally confused.
I was asking what side you're on.
Are you just pro-Israel? Simple?
I think that those other folks usually
kind of band together with this idea that we
need to be destroyed. They have a lot of religious
fervor to push them toward that. I'm going to be pro-Israel
on this one.
Now, I will admit,
it's a bad look.
I'd probably be handling things different if I were in charge.
But you dance with the one you brung.
I am in a very similar place.
But I think maybe for a different reason. I was trying to figure out who the good guy is.
That was it.
I'm trying to figure out where my moral compass points north on this thing.
And it's confusing for me.
Because on one hand, I've got Israel creating this apartheid state, the collective punishment, and our honest, normal people getting murdered for things that their military did.
And they're very much just killing civilians saying, hey, you know what?
Like, fuck around and find out.
You did vote for this government back in 2007.
There was a Hamas soldier in that 11-year-old girl's torso.
See?
Yeah.
Well, let me finish my thought.
So on one hand,'m like all right all right
israel bit of a stinky poo-poo head all right on the other hand you know what
palestinians may be a bit of a stinky poo-poo head too like like hard words from a strong man
i i let's take like homosexual rights right this is not like a
democracy there they haven't had an election since 2007 they would murder all these gay
liberals who were trying to support them how do they stand on women's rights are they educating
their girls do they let their like how can i be in favor of these governments that are trying to go back to like the 12th century or
some bullshit like that?
I'm like, these are just
not good guys. So there's
a bit of everybody sucks here, but if forced
to choose a side, Israel.
Nobody tell the right wing that
Israel doesn't allow their civilians to have
firearms, and that's why this whole thing happened.
That's true yeah a whole lot of reasons this
happened oh yeah dude it could have gone much differently if everybody yeah of course because
because at some point it's like we're not being taken by surprise anymore they're they're coming
they're coming you know yeah yeah yeah it's like and we could be in here like yeah let them fucking
come you aim left i'll aim right
like right you know they're gonna have a fucking hard time coming in here or it's you get under the
bed kids give me the big knife fuck off i'm sorry that's a big part of this whole thing is they're
not allowed to defend themselves essentially like like that seems like the part of the world where
you'd want everybody to have a gun yeah if you're in Israel and they've adopted never again as a religion for the last 80 years, that could be part of it.
I think that's a big part of the whole never again thing is there's this collective Jewish shame for how they rolled over lambs to the slaughter.
Yeah.
We lined up in rows last time, organized how they rolled over lambs to the slaughter yeah yeah we lined up in rows last
time organized how they wanted us to and and like every step of the way just appeased and allowed
ourselves to be led a step further literally like to the slaughter and so now they're they're awful
ornery when any anybody's you know killing thousands of them a day um i'll say this if it
was the if it was the 40s they are cranky that way look we bombed cities just like they're doing worse we bombed them worse than what they're doing
and we cheered and we say it's america and we learn about it in school and we learn about the
heroes who did it and i don't know i don't think a life today is worth any more or less than those
lives back then um they've got a just cause it seems to me i don't think they made that apartheid
state though they've supported it and allowed it to be there forever. Doesn't it go back to
some British colonialism?
It's all about... Yeah, doesn't the British
set the borders and you over here, you over here?
The British basically sequestered it and created
it for them. Sure. It's always white people.
But it's like
they've maintained the state and
taken more and more land over the years.
I mean,
it doesn't matter what you want to happen
or who you think are the good guys or the bad guys yeah we'll pay for it either way uh we'll
pay for it either way and we'll win um like 100 the u.s warship shot down most of those missiles
i mentioned by the way all those drones and stuff like we shot all that shit down our shit's so cool
it you know what there's some value in getting to test this shit like you know did you see they
attacked the embassy in baghdad did you see our cool shit there so i thought that we just had one
one defense system that just did everything right but it's like no they've got a special defense
system for like everything so the embassy's got like a crazy minigun that shoots red tracers
every bullet i guess that explode when they get near anything in the air.
And so they shot something at our embassy,
and it just goes,
and you just see thousands of bullets in the air,
like a ray gun moving through the sky,
destroying the projectiles.
I've noticed this.
So in America, we often fuss, perhaps rightfully,
about the wasteful government spending, right? Like,
oh my God, this budget, where is it going, et cetera. Why is this ashtray a thousand dollars
or whatever thing we're complaining about? Okay, cool. But come go time, you're like,
wait a minute, we've been building science fiction weapons for the last 10 years.
Our shit is cool as fuck. But then you look at like russia for example they're rolling out tanks that
are 60 years old 60 80 year old tanks and so that's they were short on winter clothes i'll
finish up real quick and i'm like all the money they spent on defense was stolen and robbed and
put in some oligarchs yacht all the money are only some of the money we spent on defense went there
that's the thing in america our oligarchs get yachts and we get this thing see that r2d2
motherfucker right there that thing locks on to shit like a fuck oh that's so cool that's the
one on the boats i've seen that one on the boats you're not you're not worried about this like
escalating into a large global conflict?
Oh, I mean, with...
Taylor, I don't think you're thinking about how cool those videos would be.
First of all, I think we're as close...
Did you even consider that?
I said this from the very start, Taylor.
We're as close to World War III as we've been in you and I's lifetimes.
Maybe Woody goes back to some time in the early 80s
where some crazy shit happened
and somebody escaped with a nuclear submarine but since 86 like shit ain't been this rough
before and this close to powder there's there's like less support domestically than ever for
another war like yeah that's the average american does not want another conflict all you're telling
that doesn't matter the average american is the average american yeah it doesn't matter what the
average american wants it matters what lobbying organizations want and who buys and sells our politicians.
That's why our will isn't enacted very often.
So what I foresee happening, and it's the real downfall of Western society,
the problem is the demographics in Europe have been rapidly shifting for the last couple of decades.
I thought you were going to say violent video games.
rapidly shifting for the last couple of decades. I thought you were going to say violent video games.
If you want to see a funny graph,
look at global rapes per country
and watch Sweden fucking power up
like they're going super Scion mode.
And it's because, you know,
all of Eastern Africa flooded in there
and just raped the shit out of them
and they don't know what to do anymore
because 20% of their voting population
came from another like completely different country with a what and they're you
know staunchly muslim and they're going to vote well that's a recipe for success yes so when the
when this third world war pops off it'll be just import 20 africa all the scientific advancements
come from muslim countries oh thank you that's where the cancer cure is advancements come from Muslim countries. That's where
the cancer cure is going to come from.
You heard it here first. It's going to come from a Somali
pirate who was forced into his life of
piracy. When COVID
ravaged the planet, it was the Muslims
that stepped up and created a cure.
Can you imagine using Roman
numerals? Because you're that racist?
You don't want
to use Arabic numbers numbers m m m
bullshit every time i go to the bank i hate this shit
there's so many characters fucking characters i don't even know what this is like the average
american can't read a fucking clock the the kids that we have now but but the demographics and
even that's not true absolutely true. I can show you huge
videos of people who can't read analog clocks.
They're taking them out of schools because no one knows
what they are anymore. Kids are dumber
than ever. When you show them to people,
they start giving you wild numbers
that they're like 375.
What time is it?
937 o'clock?
They have no idea
what it means or how to use it that's embarrassing it's
a foreign technology it's like handing someone a sextant do you guys have an analog clock in
your house i can see my big decorative analog clock in my living room from here yeah no because
i always know what time it is you always know you're always rising and grinding
always knows what time it is like jocko willing uh how many analog clocks do you
have i have zero unless you can't watches okay three or more calm down like what what are we
doing he or i guess maybe someone with like a really big nice house yeah i have like or very
fancy clocks right maybe grandfather clocks or something yeah but i have i have no clocks uh i
have no displayed time outside of electronic devices and watches.
You're just
looking at your phone in your oven.
Yeah, I mean, like,
what room of the house am I in
where there isn't a display of the time,
frankly? Every room has a device.
It's true. Analog clocks
look nice. And, like, grandfather
clocks look kind of cool.
I grew up with one. Aesthetically
they look neat. They have the swinging
pendulum. I don't like wood.
I don't respect wood. You don't respect
wood? You don't respect wood?
That's insane. Maple hasn't earned your respect.
No, I don't respect wood.
That's a Curb Your Enthusiasm
reference that eight people are getting.
No, I don't
need a clock. I don't like don't i don't need a clock
i don't like that you don't you don't need it it's like i'm going to spend money on like
stuff to decorate it's gonna be when i say art i don't mean like silly art i mean like cool
shit to hang on the walls like like i don't know uh i've got a bunch of crystals right now minerals
i'll say because that's funnier i got minerals uh i'm about to buy another uh i need another um bookshelf because i'm all full of books i'll send you a picture of my bookshelf
what kind of minerals are you buying um just pretty shit like i don't care about its uh intrinsic
value or or or anything like that just pretty well that's good because you're buying crystals. Right? I was thinking to myself,
I have two decorating ideas
that I just love.
One, maps.
And then I realized
I only had one decorating idea.
It's just that.
Hang on.
I like it.
You've given me a theme.
The maps are so cool to have hanging around.
The theme for your room is going to be exploration.
We're going to have a globe.
We're going to have one of those sextant things.
You figure out the latitude or whatever.
Maybe one of those things that has all the different kinds of sailor knots.
I like that a lot.
Another thing that shows all the different sailor knots.
They have Long John Silvers.
Bet you can get one of those on eBay for $30 30 all those long john silvers went out of out of business or
a globe like a nice globe would be a cool decor like i want the floor globe when i go to someone's
house and they have a globe i like to just kind of look at it for a while and be like damn that's
i didn't realize that's where cambodia was does someone make a really badass levitating globe, like in a stand that you can just sort of rotate anywhere you want?
Earth's axis is cool and everything,
but I want a magnetic levitating globe.
They have to have that.
Yeah.
That's a good idea.
I'm fully in favor of your map idea.
Much better than crystals.
Take that, Kyle.
It's not like the whole house is crystals.
Whatever, Hank.
How many crystals?
You live in a crystal mine.
We know it now.
You're living in a crystal house here.
What kind of, how many crystals do you have and what's your favorite?
I probably got like, I mean, they vary in size.
So like some of them just get a whole bag of things, you know, for like $50.
And it's just like a double handful of shit, you know.
But then there's like some big ones, right, that are like, you know, big.
Big crystals.
So those are a few hundred dollars, you know, for those for like, I don't know,
some sort of ammonite or calcite or something like that.
I can't believe you came down so hard on grandfather clocks and you're buying crystals.
Well, I mean, your thing is just, I don't like the idea of that big old rotten wooden thing that probably like soaks in stink.
Like I can just imagine the dog pees on it one day and I don't notice it.
Yeah, yeah.
Man, you are telling on yourself for how you live.
You know, it's just you walk around and it soaks up all the BO from not showering.
And then your dog's pissed on it
and you just throw the Grubhub blocks at it
and pretend it didn't happen.
It's a build with crushed soda cans.
It's a mess in there.
I'm just picturing like,
I'm going to have to get a used one, right?
They don't make new ones.
I'm going to have to get one that's from the 70s.
People have died in the presence of this clock.
That's fine.
That makes it cooler.
What I'd really want is a cuckoo clock
if you're going to get some stupid old clock.
Like if a bird came out, I'd want that.
I want a cuckoo clock.
Say it with my daughter!
It's like a racist.
I don't know where else to go with the cuckoo clock.
It's like every hour you would say a different racist like phrase
it's like a billy bass but like
a Klansman would pop out and be like
watch out
you have a black guy at your house and you're trying to like
quickly usher him out the door at 1158
before your
Ku Klux Klan goes off
gotta turn in early you know
sorry I have a form of uh
tourette's where i have to yell at midnight exactly
thank you so much for coming that would be good yeah we were talking about gaming a little bit
before and last night i i have an xbox s or x at at whatever the new Xbox is the black kind of cube looking one
and I have game pass and everything and so I plugged it in had to update it and all that
shit last night and I was just scrubbing around trying to find a game that that sounded fun and
I came across NHL and I was like oh NHL 24 that reminds me i already own nhl 22 let me put that in because
it's all the same game and i went and i put nhl 22 in because i remembered playing like nhl 13
back in the day and they had something called like be a pro where you can like build a little
character and then you start in like the minor leagues and you like after just like three games
there you get drafted to a team and then like you
might get but on the fourth line if you're a grinder like the first line if you're a sniper
and all that and you you have different stats that you you level up for different behaviors in the
game and i thought that seems kind of fun trying to to lead a team to the stanley cup that way just
a little passive way to play so i put in nhl 22 to do be a pro and the way it used to be on 13 was you just played
the hockey game and afterward the coach would be like hell of a job turning the difficulty down to
rookie in the third period because you were losing so you could score 10 goals that's how i've been
sometimes and then i'm trying to goose my stats in In this one, though, I quit after maybe an hour, hour and a half of play
because every half of the game is cut scenes of you having to talk to your GM,
you having to give interviews to the media,
you having to manage your personal relationship with other players on the team.
The coach will be like, hey, I was hoping you could do XYZ for me.
And then you can respond with, like, team focus, star focus.
And then you have little stats for that.
It was so fucking frustrating.
I couldn't even.
I played, I think, four games.
Right after I got to the NHL, I played one game.
What did the coach ask you to do?
Was it anything like that Chicago Blackhawks scandal?
Yeah, he was like, I'm going to need you to suck me off if you want first line minutes and i selected to suck so chris f to yeah chris f to
no way it's rookie i developed a coke problem from shame from sucking the the guy's dick but yeah
it was unplayable i like out of frustration just turns my whole X. It's the same gameplay.
It's been for years.
It's a sports game.
All they did was ruin it by adding all of this character shit.
And you can't turn it off.
You can't turn it off.
That's exactly what happened.
Terrible.
The reason they have all that dev time to create that ridiculous mode that I can't imagine why people enjoy playing.
It was fun when you're playing the sport every time,
and then at the end of the game, once in a while,
it'll be like, you had a good game.
Do you want to talk to the media?
You just hit no.
Here's a game that I'll play with you.
The fighting games,
you have to have a buddy who wants to get into it too.
If you want to play the UFC fighting game,
I would get into that.
But you can't just go online and play a fighting game.
You can't play sports games online.
You'll get fucked.
You'll get fucked.
The skill ceiling is outrageous.
Yeah, they're all cheating.
No, they're all really good and I'm awful.
I'm just mashing buttons.
But I would actually like to play the UFC game.
That would be kind of cool to play as fighters.
You can play as Dana White.
You can do Dana White versus Muhammad Ali, I think, if you want.
You can have fun with it. And then on the Mortal Kombat
side, like we were saying, you can play
Omni-Man versus
Peacemaker if you wanted to.
I wanted to talk about that, by the way.
So, of course, Season 2, Episode 1 of
Invincible
came out on Amazon. Did you watch it, Woody?
No. I asked Colin to watch it with me and he wasn't
available. Okay. Well, I won't spoil anything. I'll just say
I was worried the animation might
not look as good because I remember with One Punch Man, they
went to some Korean studio or something to try to get it out faster. It's been two years.
Animation takes a long time.
You can shoot a scene with actors instantly, right?
And then edit it together.
But animation is those hand-drawn panels, apparently.
You would think there'd be a technology that just does that for you,
but I guess not.
So...
Simpsons.
I thought it was really good.
I thought it was really good.
But they only let one episode out?
Yeah. I like it when they know a good three or five and then lead to true i do too yeah i like
that as well um but but it was good um it felt like it covered a lot it's an hour long um and
it catches you up to what's been going on since the last episode.
And it had a lot of fun.
I watched some video to explain that all the new characters are characters from the comics.
They're not just making people up.
They seem to be staying pretty faithful to the comics.
Maybe not combining multiple things into one, but still following the storyline as it should be.
But I'm really excited. That's one of my favorite animated shows of all time now it's i think i got you
hooked on it i remember you probably didn't sell it well you're like what are you telling me it was
good this then you start naming all the actors that you admire and the storyline and something
else and i was like oh i just thought it was good yeah it's got i just thought it was kind of neat when you flew around you know fucking jk simmons and walton goggins and uh and it's got
that uh the guy who plays glenn from the walking dead sandra oh is his mother um and and lot and
lots and lots of guests that come on uh like guest voices and stuff no i dig it a lot it's not your traditional um superhero stuff
it's fun that they make fun of i like superhero stuff that's meta and makes fun of superhero stuff
so this fits right into that it's fun um and i'm i'm over the corny name that of invincible
now it's like yeah yeah he's here it's fucking invincible here like i'm cool that being his name
oh his name is he you finish Gen V?
He named himself Invincible.
I've got one episode to go.
I got a bunch of shows that all kind of came
to their end at once and that's the last
one to catch up on.
I won't spoil it.
My biggest disappointment
in the Gen V finale is that
it was 34 minutes long.
I'm like, wait a minute. Was it six or eight episodes?
It might have been six episodes for the season. I thought it was more than that.
I could have sworn we were at eight or ten. Maybe I'm mixing it up with something else, Loki or something.
There weren't enough episodes and the finale.
I'm used to a Game of Thrones where they're like, yeah, we say it's an hour, but it's always like 52
minutes, but the last one's an hour but it's always like 52 minutes but the last one's
an hour and 14 or something like that
no 34
minutes for the finale that's bullshit
hmm
does it tie into the boys
like will when we go to the boys
will it be like oh yeah that stuff's still happening
and coalescing with this show now
yes yes
I don't know for sure but it seems like there's a strong chance
at least one of the Gen V characters will make it to the seven.
Put a chick in it! Make it lame and gay!
I'll stop there.
But yeah, there's definitely some voice tie-ins.
You need to watch the Pandaverse episode, Taylor.
It's become very popular.
It's become a bit of a rallying cry
amongst certain voices in all media, really.
All those YouTubers who are quick to point out.
The Pandaverse.
Yeah, the South Park guys have been doing these specials
on Paramount for a while now.
These like one hour specials.
And this one is called the Pandaverse.
And Cartman gets sucked into the Pandaverse and Cartman
gets sucked into the Pandaverse and
exchanged with his Pandaverse version
so everybody in the Pandaverse
is a gay
woman of color and like
so all the boys are gay women of color
but it's still their voices and they're still
talking about like the same stuff
and so Cartman gets
he's a honky stuck in the
Pandaverse and then the black version of him is like the same stuff. And so Cartman gets, you know, he's a honky stuck in the, in the Panda verse.
And then the black version of him is,
is,
is,
you know,
in,
in,
in his world.
And they have a lot of fun with that,
but mostly they go after Kathleen Kennedy.
Who's the one who over at Disney,
who as Cartman likes to say,
put a chick in it,
make it lame and gay.
So she's just that at every board meeting,
they're like,
Ms.
Kennedy,
the stock price.
It's, it's, it's so dramatically it slipped dramatically in any shows like the real stock price
I think it went down a lot
right like from a couple hundred to like
Disney
oh oh maybe
I don't know where I got Paramount
tremendous amount but she's just like
put a chick in it make it lame and gay
but it's Cartman's voice and Catherine Kennedy's a fat little boy in a wig clearly um so i i think you'd like that one
um you're right it at its peak in 2021 disney was about 200 maybe 197 and now it's 85 yeah so
that's a big drop that is aren't liking the new films uh they just spent another you know
300 million dollars or something on the marvels which is got the miss marvel in it again or
captain marvel in it because she was the one that blamed the failure of her last movie on all those
white dudes or whatever that she didn't care about that is their and so now when i watch a nissan
commercial i'm like fuck you you cunt. I'm that salty about it.
Does she do Nissan commercials?
Is she in the Nissan commercials?
What's the tie-in?
Yeah, yeah.
She's their spokeswoman.
She's got to really feel strongly about Nissans.
She's in all of them.
She's in all their Nissan commercials.
It's like, fuck you, you cunt.
Fuck you.
Another white dude thinks you're lame and gay.
Don't care that you're...
Sounds like she is lame and gay.
I guarantee they're going gonna start resurrecting avengers disney's gonna say our
stock price is has dropped by half like it's it's half what it was it's less than half of what it
was give robert downey jr two billion dollars he'll come back they're gonna i swear they'll do
it watch they'll fucking zach says robert downey j. is re-signed. Oh, they bumped so much money
with his asshole. Taylor Spellcheck.
That says re-sign, not
re-signed, right?
They are spelled the same.
Fuck.
Damn it.
I even had my pocket brain here,
and I'm so confused.
Now I'm confused.
I need to see the words written out now
they must be in
panic mode internally if they're trying to
re-sign all the old guys
because they're like how do we get back to popular
well bring back the actors people like
but they retired
the actors that people like were all white dudes
Taylor
oh lord
white people
there was a bunch of single non there was the black widow
black with an avenger black widow's an avenger scarlett johansson
i'd say white men it's white okay white men oh oh okay so the rumor is robert downey jr has
agreed to return all right so it was resigned was re-signed, not resigned, but I couldn't. All right, so yeah, yeah, white girl.
All right.
That Valkyrie chick was brown.
Valkyrie chick.
She rode the horse.
She's kind of hot.
Yeah, but not in the comics.
She's a fucking Viking war woman.
I promise you, she's not brown.
And that's a blackwashed character.
Fair enough. And she's not brown and and that that's a blackwashed character all right fair enough i guess she's not a main character anywhere were there any non-white people and like well there's war machine there's war machine that's robert downey jr's um
black army friend who has the same tech essentially or maybe like a level down but he's in the fucking
air force i think or and so he just uses it there.
Played by Don Sheedle. Black Panther?
Black Panther,
which, you
know,
it's named after a terrorist organization.
Is it named
after a terrorist? I didn't even think about who
Black Panthers. I'm aware of the Black
Panthers. I never made a connection until you said it.
Yeah, that comic dates back to right around the time of the Black Panthers. I never made a connection until you said it. Yeah, that comic dates back
to right around the time of the Black Panthers,
coincidentally, because it's named after them.
That's, you know. In fact,
go back to what he used to do. He beat up the KKK
and stuff, and white business
owners, like, you know,
stuff like that. That's what Black Panthers did.
Well, they probably were racist.
I guess.
I don't know. I can't defend it. They call him the manager. To me, I don't know. I can't defend it.
They call him the manager.
To me, I don't think that
Marvel fell off because they got woke.
I think Marvel fell off because
It'll pay your rent on time,
or else.
At the end game, I stopped caring.
I follicle.
Now it's time for my biggest opponent,
the landlord. You can't shut
me down. I need the Rance Black Panther.
If you look at the guys
who could have their own, whose stand-alone
movies did really well. Don't get me wrong,
there was a time where the Marvel
thing kept everyone
afloat. It didn't matter what you made. It seemed like it made
okay money. But Chris Hemsworth,
Robert Downey Jr., Chris Captain America, afloat didn't matter what you made it seemed like it made okay money but chris hemsworth um robert
downey jr uh chris um captain america um whatever chris evans or whatever his name is um those are
the guys mart ruffalo to a lesser extent i want to say the parks and rec guy was pretty good too
oh yeah chris pratt uh and absolutely i mean he's still doing his own thing those are the good
movies i don't know if you saw the newest. I don't know if you saw the newest
Guardians of the Galaxy.
I thought it was pretty good. It was okay.
I don't think I saw it. It's on Plex.
Groot's fat now, so he
wears a shirt. I'm not Groot.
Batista's fat now, so he wears a shirt.
I don't think I saw that.
I did see the Christmas special
Guardians of the Galaxy. You guys all
mocked me for complaining that it
sucked. I was supposed to go into it knowing it would suck yeah yeah well that's good that's a good
it seems like it's a good little death knell for the marvel universe a little bit if they're
desperate to get all this shit back i don't think they're getting the old gang back together again
we'll make good movies it's it's worse than know. It's worse than you know. So they've really painted themselves
into the corner with the Kang
verse. I'm sure you're not up to
tune on this, Taylor. I am not.
In the Loki TV series,
that's the other fuckeroo. They've got all
these TV series with all these tangled webs.
And I'm not even current on all of it. But in the Loki
shit, this Kang
guy, who's this black character
from the comics who exists in every
dimension um and he's like the super genius and all those he's doing this thing where he's like
getting all the versions of him together and and he controls the multiverse all the many copies of
the universe that are they're very similar and um so he's the big bad villain for everything they
because he was so popular in loki apparently they wanted him to
be the next like avengers villain and so he is the next avengers movie is avengers for
the kang verse or some shit like that but he's got all these new um what do you call them when
you rape somebody and people start saying it accusation allegations um i they the news is so mealy-mouthed
about saying exactly what he did
it's not like when
there's a white guy with a rifle and you find out
right away what his thoughts and opinions were
these are accusations against
this very popular
man that Disney really needs to be
innocent
with dark white skin
I don't even know what he did or what he's accused of being uh having
done but um they're they're in a mess over there and i and i just don't care anymore i just don't
care anymore yeah yeah more people are not assault allegations oh yeah he didn't write sexual assault
he wrote assault i wonder if it's sexual assault because that's what I assumed.
I always do.
I mean, he's playing a bad guy.
You can beat somebody up if you're a celebrity and just totally skate on it, it seems like.
It doesn't even seem like a big deal.
I don't know. You don't get to go to the Oscars the next year.
It depends who you beat up.
What's his name?
The guy who works out all the time.
He was in Boys to Men or something like that in the 80s he beat up a Vietnamese guy
oh Marky Mark
while screaming slurs
that's important
because anyone could just beat up a Vietnamese guy
that could happen to any of us
but if you're yelling like you fucking slant
this and that like have some
pho and as you're like r and that. Have some pho. As you're roughing him up.
Have some pho.
Wait, wait.
I say pho, you piece of shit.
He abused his girlfriend
during a car ride to an apartment?
Throwing bows?
I mean, maybe beat her up.
Have you seen car jitsu?
Have you seen car jitsu? i think have you seen car jitsu
i have seen a clip of that yes so there's a sport where two men sit in the front seat of a car they
buckle up a timer goes and they attack okay it's jiu-jitsu rules and uh so there's no striking
but you can i saw this guy he must be the fucking grand champion of car jitsu he immediately blocks the
other guy's seat belt and then uses his seat belt to wrap around the guy's neck and start choking
him with it he's using the whole car then he hits the recliner on the other guy's seat now the guy's
like upside down in the floorboard getting choked with a fucking seat belt it was awesome do they
have like home and away stadiums where they're like now this is taking place in a tahoe that lends towards you know chevy they're like a
mid-sized car like like there's just there's not enough room i would love to see brock lesnar
lose because he's in like a toyota can't uh toyota corolla something small yeah can't even move right
he's just like his knees are stuck on the dashboard.
I don't know if I could choke Brock Lesnar out,
that big neck of his, if he just flexed.
I don't know.
He seems like a superhero.
He wouldn't be, as long as he agreed not to resist at all.
There are rumors that perhaps Ronda Rousey and or Brock Lesnar
might make some sort of return at UFC 300.
Again, these are old people.
For what?
These are...
Dude, Brock Lesnar's gonna
beat the shit out of her.
You know what?
Taylor's got some good fight analysis here.
Yeah, I do.
Catch weight of
265 pounds, Brock! Oh of 265 pounds Brock
oh 265
is he slimmed down
he had to get down to 265
or something like that back in the day to fight
that's the limit I think roughly
is he still a professional WWE wrestler
or is he retired from that
they do that until they're in their grave
it's my impression he still does it but has a really mild schedule like he's there's special brock reisner rules he doesn't
need to do the less profitable shows the grinding he just he's a celebrity like john cena probably
just john cena like that also dude i love john cena am i the only one that no he speaks mandarin
fucking cool let me tell i'm okay with the Mandarin. The man's keeping up with the times.
I was saying that was kind of cool.
Yeah, he's fluent in it.
It's scary.
When you see a big, scary white man
speaking fluent Mandarin, it's an intimidating
thing. It's like, what are you telling him?
Don't tell him the secrets!
Don't tell him about the protein powder!
All he's keeping him down is that low-protein
diet over there!
If a white guy speaks spanish speaks french speaks fucking i don't know there's probably other languages russian it doesn't matter that it all seems fine to me but mandarin
it's like i didn't know white mouths could do that oh yeah you see like that clip of him where
i don't know what the remember the scenario but john cena had to like apologize to the chinese audience for something he's
and he's like oh oh no john cena oh no she no more no she don't need it i don't know be aware
and it's like this is so fucking weird it'd be like it'd be like meeting an Asian guy who is like,
yes, I was raised in Moscow, and this is how I talk.
That would be jarring.
It'd be like, you're Mongolian.
You shouldn't sound like that.
You should be riding a horse in a beautiful pasture that's green and living in a yurt.
He does a lot of that Make-A-Wish Foundation stuff,
which I always appreciate.
I couldn't stand to do that if I were a celebrity.
I'd be like, send him a check.
I'm fucking going.
I'm in a good mood today.
Get out of here.
It would make you feel so good.
He's got burns on 98% of his body.
Yeah, fuck off.
Send him some aloe vera and a t-shirt.
I'm going to the beach.
I'm not going to...
You want me to...
Why do I have to ruin my day?
I'm not going to see that kid
like he tell him dress put put on the suit and you go tell he won't be able to tell any blind
i would have loved to do that back when i was a bigger deal than i am today he's like if someone
picked me to be their make a wish that would be like a high honor but yeah and john cena okay maybe one i'm saying if you're john cena
though and you got to do this shit like twice a week it like like hey send me some of the healthier
ones that i can joke around with so that last one oozed too much like that was gross i worry i get
hard not uh that kind of hard hardened emotionally uh i worry yeah yeah i worry that like i'd see this kid in
the oncology department or whatever bald and uh an erection right now and i just be like yeah
you know life's hard you're like the third worst kid i've seen today buck up kiddo you're just rude
to the children.
Food sucks here.
You're eating off of his tray.
When I fractured my ankle on my fourth vacation last year,
I'm going to tell you.
I could have stayed down, but no.
I found myself a physical therapist.
You're like licking your fingers. You're licking your fingers.
I'm sorry
Did you call Vanilla?
On one of my vacations it was cold
Butterscotch
He starts trying to talk
You're like I'm sorry
Did I call an international organization to get your thoughts?
No
Well take advantage of it Baco
You got another 40 minutes
And that's just with me.
You know, he couldn't tell him that's a great line to tell.
My time's valuable.
It's almost as valuable as yours here.
800 minutes to live.
It's like that clip.
I think maybe it was Dick Mastron.
Someone on the show brought it up.
The female Ghostbusters, like taking a photo with this girl
who's like in bed like with a mask on and her like eyes are rolled back because she's like
very very sick and dying and like the the female ghostbusters are just there like
like smiling in their goofy ass outfits and it's like oh my god that's grim like you just know that that girl was like
i want the guardians of the galaxy people and they're like she's so sick maybe we can sneak
this one by you know she wanted bill murray she wanted to build yes i want the ghostbusters
not these bitches yeah and then the monkeys paw curls yeah that's that's all i know did you guys see the girl ghostbusters uh i know i i have a nose
for absolute shit to your movies most of the time it's rare that i watch one where i'm like man i
got bamboozled and i knew you know when they just when they just sex swap gender swap the Ghostbusters
and and and just lose all sense of first of all the Ghostbusters is one of the smartest
comedies ever written it it's what it was originally meant to be would have been a crazy
blockbuster because you had um Eddie Murphy in the black role um which would have been fantastic
his lines got cut way down when um they picked the other guy whose name escapes
me right now.
I love that movie.
It's fantastic.
I know Woody's not a big fan of it,
but when you go back and watch it,
like the fact that Ackroyd somehow got his movie made and it worked is,
is what do you like of it?
I,
I liked it as a kid,
but I,
you know,
my favorite part was the stay puffft Marshmallow Man breaking buildings.
I wasn't that sophisticated.
I think you've got three or four of the funniest men that were alive at that time
just going back and forth on something they all collaborated on with Reitman or whatever his name is in the writing.
It's so funny to me.
I don't know.
I think Ackroyd's hilarious.
What's his name with the fucking crazy crazy hair i'm spacing his name he was the the writer i think
anyway i i love it and bill murray i love bill murray that sigourney weaver's great like like
her character and her interactions are all fun i like the redhead i like uh the little weasley
nerdy guy i like all that shit i like the ending i love the whole showdown
are you a god and akward's no then die and she zaps them all and murray's like when somebody
asks you if you're a god you say yes yeah such fucking common sense why didn't he lie
she would only she would have believed him for sure i don't know i love that so when i saw that they're just gonna hey let's uh let's make it women again
proton pack and let's did you watch the next hierarchy the most recent one um i knew what
that was gonna be uh i knew what that was going to be too they that was going to be focused way
too much on the on the kids that and i don't like children movies then, I haven't seen it, but they brought the ghost back
with CGI, didn't they? They brought like Harold Ramis
back, which was the name that was escaping me.
That's not a good indicator of movie quality.
I promise you, I can fall asleep
during Lord of the Rings.
The Sleepy Man.
That just
doesn't sound good. I don't like kid-centric
movies too much. I'll say this, Woody has
fallen asleep in two movies
with me.
Ted 2 was one of them, right?
Ted 2 was one of them, and then another time, me, him,
and maybe Chiz were in a Skype
call or something, and we were all simul-watching
some new movie that'd come out.
Yes.
Actually, I think Kyle's undercounting it.
I think I fell asleep during a couple. We used to
simul-watch movies every week.
You got used to turning him down.
You don't want to hang up because you don't want to startle wake him.
He's got headphones on.
Let the big guy down.
Just let him wake up through a black screen.
The BPAT machine.
I was always tired.
But yeah, I don't watch any of that.
I usually escape the shittier movies and that's
one of the shittier movies that's ever been made from what i understand that's a real hate girls
yeah hated the one with the kids i think is said to be good jackie liked it with that count i don't
know oh i don't think it's gonna be a bad movie i just don't think it's gonna movie be a movie that
i like i think it's gonna be a fun kids movie i bet they stole one kids from uh that that netflix
show um stranger things they probably
stole a kid or two from that uh and then they they dug up but they took the harold ramus's ghost and
i bet they cgi'd him into reality and had him come in at the end like right when they need another
care bear to like take down the big bad and shoot its belly energy harold ramus's ghost comes out of
the ground he's like i'm here with you boys. Even though that man is dead.
He's died in real fucking life
and it's bullshit to bring him back
and put him CGI'd in a movie.
They're going to keep doing it.
Oh yeah.
They're going to do that more and more commonly.
You know, he didn't fuss when it was
young Luke Skywalker.
Because the real Luke Skywalker
was alive and he's saying yeah they're gonna be putting
bruce willis back in movies while he's still alive okay bruce they need to make diehard six
or whatever the fuck they're up to look if i ever whatever bruce has if that's allergic i mean if
that's a contagious and i catch some don't post pictures of me on social media with a bewildered look in my eye.
That's so true.
I saw those pictures too.
And I was like,
my God,
like,
don't you know that he doesn't want to be posted like this?
Like,
even if he's not worth it enough to protest,
you would know.
John McClane's over there looking like,
you know,
when you show up,
make a funny face to a baby and they go that,
like,
they're like,
like,
like he's making that face.
He's making the confused baby
face you know
in his
60s I think maybe mid
late 60s he's got the full
on dementia though now
68 yeah he's non
verbal now apparently so you know
that's that's pretty awful it is
great actor
was in some real fun movies.
But no more.
No more.
Don't CGI John McClane back for Die Hard 8.
When Clint Eastwood passes away,
if he didn't sign some kind of a fucking paper
that don't make The Outlaw Josie Wales 2,
I don't want to see it.
It's fucked up.
If you ever have a traumatic brain injury
and you're going around like a goober,
like no idea what's going on,
I'll
come smother you. And I want
you to promise to do the same for me.
Nah, I'd be funny.
Then I won't kill you.
If you go
nonverbal and totally confused,
we're keeping you on the show yeah we're gonna give you
he's gonna give you gabagool and i and i both have traumatic brain injuries and woody just
succumbs to age and it's just i've got taylor here in a high chair and i do the airplane noises
as i feed him his fucking smashed up peas yeah all my gains are gone kyle has to be like filmed from his camera totally horizontal
he's never looking at the camera oh no i've got that mike just picks up like the wet gurgling
of a baby i'm on taylor poopies his diaper but i'm 60 and i do too yeah
the worst podcast on earth just Every episode is 16 hours long.
No one turns the recording off.
We're just wandering around.
No idea what's happening.
By the way, I am so stoked on the presidential election.
This is going to be another 2016 exciting show.
It's what we hoped and prayed
for, I know, that we would get
another one of those crazy election years.
I swear to God, it's coming. 364
days. This is it. We're in the election year
before election day. We're in the
fucking groove. As of today,
it's a year from... Yesterday was
when I sent that text of the polls.
One year out
and here's where things are.
At this point, Ben Carson was leading in 2016.
And who won that year?
Trump.
You're goddamn right.
Yeah.
And so Ben Carson, all he has to do is take a quick lead now.
And history will repeat itself.
And history will repeat itself.
Well, you know, different situation, right?
Different situation.
Do you know that he's going...
It seems like this trial thing is bolstering his support.
He's gone up in the polls. I do know that his polling
like there's been a New York Times did a thing. He was winning something like five out of six
battleground states. And it was like the closest
one was the one Biden was winning. Two points. I was like
oh he can snag michigan here's the thing
about the one biden's when it's michigan i think oh was it it looked like it was shaped like michigan
to me well he's he's gonna be has a huge arab uh muslim population lots of somalis as well
he is bleeding there i've seen i've seen like muslim leaders in michigan fucking chanting
and fucking with signs would put bloody fingerprints on shit. It's great.
They're like, Biden does it. That won't equate to support for Trump because Trump is going to be
just as pro-Israel as Biden. Trump's going up. I promise you, from the river to the sea is not
going to be popular this holiday season. This is a real win for the right. They're going to win.
It's going to be a sweep. It's going to be huge. This is it. This is a real win for the right. They're going to win. It's going to be a sweep.
It's going to be huge. This is it. This is the
pendulum coming all the way back. If there was a huge
sweep, I think it would be more
to do with like the incumbents
tend to lose when the economy is dog shit
and when people have like economic parties. Oh, it's a trifecta
baby? The economy?
Or not incumbent, I'm sorry. The war's all
over the world? Oh, this is
looking bad for Biden.
It's that perfect
storm that he needed to beat Hillary Clinton.
He's going to get another one here. You've got Biden.
Look, they're both old as fuck, but Biden is
older. Biden is handling it worse.
Physically, he just looks older to me.
Maybe because the other guy spray paints his face.
Okay, I'll give you that, but he does
spray paint it, doesn't he?
You have to get up early.
Inconsistently. oh yeah it's crazy it's like sometimes you put on war paint i can see your ears bro i know your true color yeah it's like at this point is he intent does he intentionally
not get a whole a full coat because he's like well you know people know me as having my ears not quite as dark. It's part of my brand.
I love it.
I love it.
He's hilarious.
He's going to win.
I think Trump is going to lose.
I feel compelled to share my opinion, too.
The economy is not actually bad.
The growth is fucking bonkers.
4.9% growth, 3% unemployment.
I'm like, you want to know if you fall for propaganda
you think the economy they're using no you're you're so distanced from how normal people are
feeling right now wages are going down the cost of homes are going down you say yes yes relative
to the cost of living it's not even close the consumer price index is a much better view of
this than government issued inflation rates.
The cost of food is higher than it was years ago.
The cost of homes, rent has skyrocketed.
The idea the economy is doing well is something that like no one is on board with outside of like actual government propaganda.
Like it's nonsense.
The homeownership is ridiculous.
The cost of food, energy, these things that people encounter every single day.
Fuel, it's skyrocketed in the last four years.
The cost of fuel has skyrocketed?
Yes.
Yeah, the cost of energy is going up.
The cost of food, the common things that people buy every day.
The way they get those jobs numbers going down, I read a report, they include things like Uber driving.
They include things like Uber driving.
Someone who lost their job and now does Uber and DoorDash and some other gig thing.
That's three jobs.
Look at that.
They count underemployed people who don't have full-time jobs that can't support themselves as if they're fully employed.
It's not good. So how do you measure underemployment and how do you know that it's gotten worse compared to previous years?
Because people have lost full-time jobs and the percentage of part-time jobs has skyrocketed.
But how do you measure it and how do you know that it's gotten worse compared to previous years?
Show me fast food prices.
Fast food prices are going up.
I want you all to continue your conversation, but I want Zach to find me the fast food prices are going up i want y'all to continue your conversation but i want zach to find me the fast food prices because it's so bizarre how poor people who work like who go in not even poor
working class people who go in and like work uh like a night shift at a factory would go to
mcdonald's and for three dollars could get like two cheeseburgers a fry and a small drink the
prices at a fast food restaurant are so absurd now that it's like why wouldn't you just go buy quality
ingredients and make it yourself like you've been priced out of that those quality ingredients have
gone up in in in a similar relative way it's like double or the prices that those restaurants have
doubled in like the last two years or something to it like they went up like crazy during the
pandemic and they've just stayed there or or gone. I saw that, I mentioned the other day that a chicken quesadilla at Taco Bell was like
$7.50 or something.
Yeah.
And then go to the grocery store and look at what chicken tenderloins cost compared
to what they cost four years ago.
Like inflation is out of control just because it's not flying the way it was a year ago.
It's still going up way faster than the income that
people are getting and it's great here compared to the rest of the world but that's still not
great right inflation went up i'll agree with that but it is not currently at a big problem
uh it's the rate of increase the problem is you wanted to go back down but that's not happening
wages are going up on the high end and the low end and the middle is getting fucked that's the actual data um but like a minimum wage i think minimum wage should be raised but it almost
doesn't fucking matter now because people don't make minimum wage you get a job at mcdonald's
minimum wage doesn't drive how much you're paid anymore those guys are making like 15 an hour
at mcdonald's and that's true across a lot of these jobs. Someone who has three gig jobs,
they do a little DoorDash, a little Uber, whatever, is employed. They might be underemployed,
sure, but they are employed. And it doesn't count as three jobs. It's just one employed person.
If that person is a contractor writing software, they're also employed.
They count those jobs as increases in jobs. They released a jobs report I was reading about
just last month.
The job report from three months
ago, they revised it and took away another
100,000 jobs because they released these
job reports way more optimistic than they
are. Do you know the number? You're correct.
I don't know off the top of my head.
They corrected both directions, by the way.
The last job report I heard was
bonkers good.
For people who don't know job report numbers, you want about 150,000 new jobs.
That's sort of the staying level.
If the economy creates 150,000 new jobs, then it's kind of the same as it was the month before.
If you see it created 200,000 new jobs, then there's more jobs than people coming in.
And if it creates 100,000 new jobs, that might sound good, but it's actually bad.
You need 150 to sort of tread water.
So the last child report I saw was 450,000 new jobs.
It was fucking bonkers.
The last GDP number I saw was 4.9%, which is bonkers.
GDP is not a good way to gauge how average people are doing.
But I feel like the average people are doing is just like numbers and feelings and anecdotes.
Like I asked you twice, how do you tell that people are unemployed and how do you measure
that against like previous years?
And I got nothing.
I hear, you know, stuff like, yeah, you know, the inflation numbers is just government propaganda.
The unemployment numbers is government propaganda, which is like conspiracy talk.
These things are actually not really.
We know they lie for like a hundred years.
I thought they're always reported, but they're, you know, the movement of the number.
It gives you an idea of the way things are going.
I agree with you, Woody, that like the numbers look good and certainly compared with the rest of the world where inflation is much worse.
Like they're really crowing in Canada right now about a number of things.
But still, I can't imagine.
It just feels like the cost of living went up by 30%.
It does.
Dramatically, it's gone up.
I see it too.
It has gone up.
And people are not making 30% more than they did four years ago.
And I'm not saying four years ago like fucking Trump or Biden.
I'm saying it like pre-COVID.
And there's only one presidential candidate
who's going to ride in and promise you
anything different, right? Like Biden's
Bidenomics. I still
don't know what that is. Probably
he hasn't defined it well enough for me to
catch on. It's like I haven't
hidden my head in the sand. It's just
giving as much money
as we can to foreign governments seemingly i don't know about the u.s economy like you know gdp do
you think we give to foreign governments too much way way way too much throw a number on it oh
probably not like more than a couple percent if even a percent i got it less than one percent
yeah yeah and i agree Like sometimes I just,
I don't mind helping foreign governments.
I do want to know that like,
it's a good investment,
you know,
we're going to help you today and we're going to get this good thing in
return.
But I don't always feel like it's a good investment.
I like when we get our black to the,
to the jobs point.
Like I did tell you,
and like,
you can read this,
like they count jobs.
Like if someone's triple employed, they are including those in some jobs reports and that's why they have to redact it
later and go oh that we're taking a hundred thousand off that this one single mother who
lost her good job with the 401k and now does doordash uber eats and some other one like that's
not a net increase in jobs and the gig economy you don't you don't you
don't want no it's it's it this is happening everywhere i know so many people in real life
who have lost their jobs who have like had to come to a new realization of like oh i i can't
afford my rent i have to move out of here i have to move back in with my parents i can't afford a
home food is through the roof like among normal middle class
people it's really fucking bad it's so fucking bad the stats bear that out too right the the
groups that are doing well right now if you call it that are the very rich to nobody's surprise
and the poor the people who are working at fast food restaurants are having raises better than
they have in the past.
But the people in the middle are kind of getting fucked.
They're not getting 35% raises,
but their food is 30% more at the grocery store.
Their rent is 30% more than it was four years ago.
They didn't get a 30% raise since then.
Like it's so expensive. I feel like you're making up numbers, not quoting them.
Like there's no jobs report where you saw there was a 30% increase in food.
Is there?
Well, a jobs report wouldn't say that.
Yeah, jobs report.
But the consumer price index is a really good tool for that because it carves out the GDP
nonsense, which is really just a gauge of how much high value firms are making.
And it focuses more on, okay, how much money does it cost this person to
go buy chicken at the store? How much does it cost them to go buy a new car? How much does it cost
them to pay rent? How much does it cost them to afford housing? And in that way, normal people
are getting absolutely blasted and fucked. And so to normal, more middle-class people like me, I see all these eternal wars and
conflicts and it's like, enough, enough. This does not benefit us. It hurts us. And then when we see,
we fund Israel to have universal healthcare. We don't have our own universal healthcare.
We pay for a giant war in Ukraine and I don't care about Ukraine any more or less than I care about Israel.
I don't want anything to do with them.
And it's frustrating.
I feel like our government doesn't care at all about us as Americans.
Who wins?
If Trump's able to run, probably.
I mean, a lot can change in a year.
If the election were today, obviously he wins.
He hits 300 today.
The number one concern of the voters is the economy.
And so when that is the case. His accomplishment during his term was a corporate tax cut that that's like the big piece of
legislation he passed true and sometimes it kind of frustrates me that like people are like i want
trump he's for the working man what he did was cut corporate taxes which isn't necessarily bad i could
true before trump was president,
corporations were moving their headquarters. It was a big thing.
Milwaukee fucking went to Ireland or something. Makeda. I could go on and on. Everyone was moving their headquarters to avoid
U.S. taxes. So they lowered U.S. taxes and stopped people from wanting to do that.
Was it good or bad? I don't know. It's very complicated.
Wasn't he allowing that pipeline that big keystone pipeline and then biden shut that down that seems like a huge jobs program
if you're the kind of guy who turns a wrench or operates a welder or something like that
i don't know yeah you're probably right um i know that i don't know what the pros and cons of that
pipeline are i don't get it i don't know why the democrats and cons of that pipeline are. I don't get it. I don't know why the Democrats hate it.
I know why the Native American Indians hate it, but I don't believe their fucking asses anymore.
The entire fucking flyover area of the country is a loser's.
They buried their people wherever they fell, and now they're claiming 60% of America is an ancient burial ground.
What kind of horseshit is that?
That's true.
Yeah, that is ridiculous.
It's like a couple of years ago,
like the native Canadians or whatever
had some big propaganda bullshit
where they were like,
this school in Canada was built on a burial ground
of Native American slaughter,
Native Canadian slaughter.
And it just went uncritical for a couple of years.
They were like, we did a test to see.
And there's underground, there's stuff there.
No, there wasn't.
It was a total farce, total lie.
Like it was just.
I don't know about that one.
Hating Canadians.
I'm not necessarily against it.
I think they were killing the kids.
I don't know the pros and cons.
I'm not against it either.
Cheapest energy for Americans.
I try to make like
good fact-based non-political opinions but i don't always succeed on keystone i don't know i just
can't get informed everyone's biased yeah i don't know i like pipelines they're great there's so
much oh you don't like pipelines well then you're pro fucking truck on the highway pulling you know
bringing gas around 10 000 gallons at at a time, whatever that is.
How many bombs is that traveling down interstate whatever the fuck?
It's 75 miles per hour.
No, put it in a pipeline, and I don't care if it leaks all over their holy land
because it's all made up.
It's all fucking made up.
Mr. Environment, you want to truck these things around?
You know, truck by truck by truck.
That's the way you're saving the environment
we can pump it right through the church
parking lot but we're not making
some big circle around
I need to park it's a big
truck Kyle
those fucking Native American losers
look they should be proud that
we name our cool ass helicopters and
shit after them that we name our
sports teams after them
yeah yeah so so fucking get with it you got your casinos now shut the fuck up but crying
trail of tears should have ended a long time ago is all i'm saying
yeah now you're just casting your you know your blame on me all your problems are because of me
i didn't do shit to you you don't think my ancestors had it hard they had a problem you're all of our ancestors had it hard everybody's ancestors

He's the original Joe Rogan.

Everybody's got the ice things now.
I'm going to have to get one.
I really want one.
If it'll keep the ice in there
so I don't have to keep
buying ice i think that would be ideal but i'm also a little worried that maybe like i'm gonna
get in this thing after i'm all sweaty and then i'm gonna put a lid on with my sweaty funk in
that ice water like what am i growing now in my backyard right growing it slowly in the ice holy
shit we growing slowly but steadily right so it accumulates all the bacteria gets to
like stage 2.3 and then one day the lid goes off oh pounds of bacteria going from 2.3 to 3.0 which
is when they bloom or whatever and now the air is full of little particulates that i breathe in
i'm never this they get it breaks the blood brain and now I'm controlled by my own sweat.
Yeah.
That beats a hot tub, though.
I bet there's a lot more semen in hot tubs than cold baths.
Oh, if you're jizzing in the hot tub, you are
a diabolical piece of shit.
You are a supervillain yourself if you're jizzing
in a hot tub. Yeah, you talk all that trash.
You're the one who just got pregnant.
