Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:31 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
Starting point is 00:01:12 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...
Starting point is 00:01:49 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
Starting point is 00:02:04 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
Starting point is 00:02:39 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.
Starting point is 00:03:10 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
Starting point is 00:03:30 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.
Starting point is 00:03:56 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
Starting point is 00:04:27 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
Starting point is 00:05:05 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.
Starting point is 00:05:29 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.
Starting point is 00:05:48 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.
Starting point is 00:06:02 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.
Starting point is 00:06:33 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
Starting point is 00:06:58 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,
Starting point is 00:07:15 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.
Starting point is 00:07:35 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
Starting point is 00:08:08 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.
Starting point is 00:08:37 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
Starting point is 00:08:55 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.
Starting point is 00:09:26 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?
Starting point is 00:09:46 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.
Starting point is 00:10:15 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?
Starting point is 00:10:50 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
Starting point is 00:11:12 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
Starting point is 00:11:52 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
Starting point is 00:12:18 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.
Starting point is 00:13:04 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
Starting point is 00:13:43 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
Starting point is 00:13:59 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
Starting point is 00:14:30 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.
Starting point is 00:14:57 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
Starting point is 00:15:33 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.
Starting point is 00:16:11 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
Starting point is 00:16:34 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.
Starting point is 00:17:04 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
Starting point is 00:17:22 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
Starting point is 00:17:52 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
Starting point is 00:18:10 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
Starting point is 00:18:36 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
Starting point is 00:19:00 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,
Starting point is 00:19:31 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
Starting point is 00:19:47 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
Starting point is 00:20:03 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
Starting point is 00:20:48 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.
Starting point is 00:21:03 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.
Starting point is 00:21:22 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.
Starting point is 00:21:55 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?
Starting point is 00:22:08 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.
Starting point is 00:22:32 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.
Starting point is 00:23:01 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?
Starting point is 00:23:18 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.
Starting point is 00:23:33 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
Starting point is 00:23:53 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
Starting point is 00:24:19 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
Starting point is 00:25:05 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,
Starting point is 00:25:55 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.
Starting point is 00:26:17 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.
Starting point is 00:26:47 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,
Starting point is 00:27:08 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.
Starting point is 00:27:24 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.
Starting point is 00:27:39 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.
Starting point is 00:27:56 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
Starting point is 00:28:20 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...
Starting point is 00:28:38 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.
Starting point is 00:29:09 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
Starting point is 00:29:51 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.
Starting point is 00:30:29 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?
Starting point is 00:30:48 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
Starting point is 00:31:12 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.
Starting point is 00:31:32 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.
Starting point is 00:31:51 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
Starting point is 00:32:09 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
Starting point is 00:32:24 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.
Starting point is 00:32:30 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,
Starting point is 00:32:42 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
Starting point is 00:32:56 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
Starting point is 00:33:37 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.
Starting point is 00:33:54 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
Starting point is 00:34:09 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.
Starting point is 00:34:37 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
Starting point is 00:34:50 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
Starting point is 00:35:08 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.
Starting point is 00:35:35 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?
Starting point is 00:36:08 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.
Starting point is 00:36:24 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.
Starting point is 00:36:39 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,
Starting point is 00:36:56 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
Starting point is 00:37:12 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
Starting point is 00:37:36 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.
Starting point is 00:37:57 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
Starting point is 00:38:26 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
Starting point is 00:38:41 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
Starting point is 00:39:15 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
Starting point is 00:39:39 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.
Starting point is 00:40:10 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
Starting point is 00:40:30 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.
Starting point is 00:40:48 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
Starting point is 00:41:05 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
Starting point is 00:41:55 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
Starting point is 00:42:22 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.
Starting point is 00:42:39 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
Starting point is 00:42:56 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.
Starting point is 00:43:28 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
Starting point is 00:43:43 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.
Starting point is 00:44:31 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.
Starting point is 00:44:49 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...
Starting point is 00:45:01 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
Starting point is 00:45:38 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.
Starting point is 00:46:17 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
Starting point is 00:46:33 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.
Starting point is 00:46:51 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
Starting point is 00:47:17 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
Starting point is 00:48:14 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,
Starting point is 00:48:38 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
Starting point is 00:48:51 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
Starting point is 00:49:25 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.
Starting point is 00:50:10 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
Starting point is 00:50:25 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.
Starting point is 00:50:42 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.
Starting point is 00:50:58 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
Starting point is 00:51:25 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.
Starting point is 00:51:53 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
Starting point is 00:52:18 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,
Starting point is 00:52:33 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,
Starting point is 00:52:42 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
Starting point is 00:52:55 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.
Starting point is 00:53:11 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,
Starting point is 00:53:26 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
Starting point is 00:53:46 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.
Starting point is 00:54:32 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
Starting point is 00:54:53 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?
Starting point is 00:55:09 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.
Starting point is 00:55:21 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
Starting point is 00:55:49 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
Starting point is 00:56:28 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
Starting point is 00:56:44 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.
Starting point is 00:56:59 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.
Starting point is 00:57:31 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
Starting point is 00:57:51 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.
Starting point is 00:58:22 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.
Starting point is 00:58:50 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.
Starting point is 00:59:19 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
Starting point is 01:00:00 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
Starting point is 01:00:30 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.
Starting point is 01:01:18 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.
Starting point is 01:01:38 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.
Starting point is 01:02:04 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
Starting point is 01:02:34 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.
Starting point is 01:02:57 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.
Starting point is 01:03:18 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
Starting point is 01:03:37 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,
Starting point is 01:04:05 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,
Starting point is 01:04:18 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
Starting point is 01:04:42 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
Starting point is 01:05:24 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.
Starting point is 01:05:48 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
Starting point is 01:06:18 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?
Starting point is 01:06:54 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
Starting point is 01:07:22 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
Starting point is 01:08:02 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,
Starting point is 01:08:28 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.
Starting point is 01:08:47 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.
Starting point is 01:08:59 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.
Starting point is 01:09:27 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
Starting point is 01:09:45 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
Starting point is 01:10:02 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 had a shit go of it it was it was a tough time my dude dude i don't know about what you guys suffered my great great great grandparents no air conditioning i promise no my people never got
Starting point is 01:10:39 free room and board for like half a fucking thousand years my regular grandparents didn't have ac or running water my uh jackie's father had uh cold water flat he didn't have hot water he had water but no hot water oh that sucks you ever have to like not use hot water for one shower and you're like what is this this? The fucking 10th century? No, because I don't shower without hot water. He's the original Joe Rogan. He's waking up every day with that fucking energy. Everybody's got the ice things now.
Starting point is 01:11:17 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
Starting point is 01:11:45 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.
Starting point is 01:12:16 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. That's so disgusting. It's not coming in a got pregnant. That's so disgusting. It's like coming to hot tub. All right, that's probably a wrap. That's probably a wrap. You want to play Codenames?
