Painkiller Already - PKN #53

Episode Date: September 5, 2015

This week's PKN, the guys review the recent political scene some more.

all right painkiller nearly episode 53 you know i feel like we let the 52 thing go by and didn't really like i don't know do a thing out of it yeah we kind of forgot to yeah i will get 104 don't worry looking for a joke or something i feel like i haven't told any in a while um wait i would don't i would never remind you or something I feel like I haven't told any in a while. Wait, here's one. I would never remind you. So, God, I don't know what this joke is, I'm just going to read it because apparently at one point I set it aside and thought it was good.

An abstinent blonde and her boyfriend are about to celebrate their one year anniversary she wants to do something special for him that night and decides that she'll go down on him but alas no experience so she asks her friend for advice who then hands her a banana and says here practice with this sure enough the blonde girl peels the banana and goes to town on it like a deep throat professional. Her friend says, you're doing great. Don't change a thing. The next day, the blonde's friend calls her up, eager to hear how everything went. She asks how'd it go.

Pretty great. Didn't know there'd be that much screaming and blood, though. Blood? Where'd the blood come from? The peeling. Yeah, that's awful. I don't like that one. All right, then.

Bad joke. Okay, you know, that's kind of the agreement, right? I suppose so. So how are you? I'm good. It's been raining here. Ah, nobody cares. It's been raining here for days.

It's been really depressing. I keep dressed. Please tell me more about your rain. Yeah, yeah. I get ready to go out. I have stuff to do. I got plans. I have ideas I want to put into action. They're sunshine ideas. I have to come back home and do inside stuff. That's no fun. Why are you so sick? What happened? Nobody cares, Kyle. Nobody cares. I don't know. At first, I thought I ate something bad. I'm really getting better now i uh a couple nights ago i i couldn't sleep my belly was hurting whatever um without getting

in all graphic and everything you know pooping and throwing up for days and uh when i wasn't doing that i was kind of just like how much weight did you lose? I don't know. I did notice I lost a couple pounds. I was like halfway through, like I might be lighter still. Yeah, because I lost my appetite. And then I couldn't eat much either. Like the first morning after throwing up and stuff, I had cereal. I was like, all right, you like a milk cereal with some fruit in it. It seemed like it sort of gentle, um, breakfast that would get me

back on my feet, but alas, it did not stay down. And, um, it was just awful. It was just terrible. Like I, I haven't been this sick in a while. My skin hurt, right? Like skin, right? You're like your largest organ just like doing this sort of thing off-camera but doing that it wasn't like it was excruciating but it's like that feeling um feeling his pain like a bad sunburn or something like it's all of my skin hurt my bones hurt I've heard people say that and like you know your bones hurt or whatever it had been so long since I've had bone hurting sickness my shin not my joints although they hurt too my shin bones were like

irradiating pain shin bone not shin splints the muscle next to the bone it's like my bones were in pain and uh like i i spent two nights just like laying on the bathroom floor, thankful that tile is so cold. That was a thing. That's nice. Couldn't seem to regulate my body temperature, so I'm throwing tons of covers on. Well, it sounds like a virus to me.

I think so. It sounds like a virus. It doesn't sound like food poisoning. It sounds like you had some sort of a stomach virus. And I hated it. Yeah, that sucks. I hate that a lot. Although I will say this. like food poisoning it sounds like you had some sort of a stomach virus um and uh you know yeah that sucks i hate that a lot although i will say this many of my lowest weight points uh got spearheaded by an illness i remember i was pretty chubby at one point in high school i got the flu dropped down to like 160 pounds and i kept pushing it till i was 155 like i got better and i just i

was like this is a good time hey running's easier now that I'm 15 pounds heavier. Like, everything's easier. So maybe this would be a good time for you to spearhead a fitness kick. I like the way you're thinking. What was I going to say? Oh, yesterday. It probably doesn't sound that good anyway. I was like, so I'd been sick for two days, and yesterday would have been three.

And I was like, all right, not sick anymore. Fuck this. I don't have time for it. And that didn't work, actually. You can't just declare yourself to be well. I'm dizzy. Things aren't going right, et cetera. Another day in bed.

And then today, I did the same thing. I was like, I just, I got to get going. I've been told that the Apex house was finished. So I went over there I cut down a small tree drug it into the woods and um threw a bunch of trash out took some furniture to the dump things like that but by 11 a.m I was just like I think that's all I got you know like I I had I was gonna do some painting and move things I I was like, I'm just no more. And, um, um, so anyway, yeah, I just, uh, I called it a half day and, but I'm getting better tomorrow. I'll be all the way better.

I'm sure it'll be better. No more. So we were discussing this whole, uh, automotive restoration idea before the show, you, myself and and i like it i like the idea of it and we keep coming up with different ways to do it and different i at one point it was like oh we could you got you and chiz were gonna uh like restore an old classic car and i guess maybe chiz was gonna keep it so it would be like a driver one of you would anyway right and then we've also talked about doing like that top gear thing where all three of us are restoring a car on some minuscule budget and then we looked at kit cars uh where you order like you know all the pieces you need to basically you know play legos and put together a new car so there's less dent pulling bondo work fiberglass paint and body that sort

of thing what are you thinking now what are you leaning towards? So, I've got all sorts of thoughts in my head. As you know, there's a chance the Tacoma goes to Hope, right? I don't know if that's going to happen or not, whatever. She's uncomfortable with the stick, et cetera. But if she gets my Tacoma, then I need a new driving solution. And there was a time, if you had talked to me, what, four months ago, it was like, yeah, new power wagon. It's going to be amazing. It's got the electronics. I want air conditioned seats, right? Have you seen air conditioned seats?

I've not seen them in real life, but I'm told they are like an air hockey table of air blowing up. And so my wife has leather seats and her car is old it's an 04 so sometimes it seems like the AC it just doesn't blow like it used to and the seats never do get as cold as you want that and our tendency to hot seat each other it's uh oh people don't know but she has these heated seats and we like slyly turn each other's heated seats on in the middle of summer and it's a it's a game we play that now I'm familiar with that game yeah so we like slyly turn each other's heated seats on in the middle of summer and it's a it's a game we play that now yeah i'm familiar with that game yeah so we like cease fire at this point which is like it's awful there's an arm there's a summer armistice it's so fucking hot

it's so hot this summer has been so boiling in particular it's been so hot so um to to wrap up the thought process if i get a new car, instead of getting, I'll say for, like, let's say instead of having 45 grand in budget for a dream truck of some sort, what if I were to take that and split it, put like 20 towards a used version of something similar and 20 towards something else, like a kit car, right? I could have that M4 thing. Let me, I'll just go to the PKA screenshot. I think our pictures are going to be messed up, but for Patreon guys, an M4 kit car. And if you're not on Patreon, it's www.factory5.com and you can look at their M4 page.

And if you're not on Patreon, it's www.factory5.com, and you can look at their M4 page. $13,000, and then I think you'll probably need to buy like a $3,000 or $4,000 car to sit it on, like an old Fox Body Mustang. And then one would guess like another $3,000 to $5,000 in costs you didn't think of, paint, fluids, tires, wheels, whatever. fluids tires wheels whatever and uh uh but anyway for 20 20 does a truck another like 20 or 22 and you've got an amazing little combo that you can buzz around in and this might be better than the alternative i don't know but that's a that's a route you could take. The problem with the bus thing that I pitched on the PKA subreddit is that afterwards you just have a big piece of garbage in your possession. One thing we could buy is the short school buses that the special needs kids take. You could buy that, paint it to match the mystery van out of Scooby-Doo, go on your trip to like

Prudhoe Bay in Alaska or something. And then afterwards, what are you doing with that thing? Well, I've seen people that have, that take them everywhere, that use that for all their trips. Like I know guys who use them for hunting and, and you know, they, they all, they take it on every hunting trip and they, they, they live in it while they're there but i see your point that that may not be you so yeah it makes sense i don't see it becoming the new family vacation like we're going to jersey let's take the short bus that's funny so the kit car versus like an actual classic steel restoration job uh it's you know there's some give and take there.

With the kit car, it's all brand new shit. There's no rust to contend with. There's no cleaning. There's no searching for a new headlight or worrying that the chrome's not going to look good. You're going to have bumpers re-chromed and shit like that. I've restored a few cars and I've watched my dad restore even more. Those are the problems that you run into, rusty parts that aren't exactly what you want.

It's not an easy decision to go from... Basically, you'll have your bumpers that came with the car and you can get them polished and buffed or whatever for $100 or you get brand new ones. The brand new ones are like $500 a piece on a 55 Bel Air. It's like $1,000 just for a set of bumpers. But when you get the new ones, they're brand new, and they're freshly dipped in chrome and then buffed, and they're just mirrors. And you're like, yeah, yeah, we got to get the new ones.

There's no reason to put that old shit on there, right? Now all your other chrome looks bad. Now all your other chrome looks bad, and then you get all that. So you buy all that chrome, and there are pieces that are this big that are $20. And then you're like, ah, man, the window glass doesn't have enough clarity to even be next to this nice paint job and this nice chrome.

Like, this is old 1966 glass. We need new glass. And then you're buying new glass, and it just goes on forever like that until you've spent $20,000 to $35,000. And the car's worth $50,000. One thing that I really value is good upholstery. Like when I see a restored car and stuff, is that cheaper? That's good.

It's a talent that I don't have. Yeah. Dad takes his stuff to the same spot every time. And it comes back with a really nice headliner, really nice carpet. The door panels are all like leather and like matching two-tone leather bucket seats and then the big seat in the back. It looks nice. It's good leather work.

It looks legit. If that's not done right though, it's not restored to me. I don't want old cracked leather i don't want old dusty carpets i feel like people think of as the restore job like i guess and that's where the work and money goes into the body the powertrain and you know the just making all that stuff work right but if you don't if it if it's not awesome when you're sitting in the seat then you know you you're not done yet yes there's a lot of stuff there's lots of little parts in a car the the gauges

a digital gauge cluster for for his 55 Chevrolet I don't think the one he's got now has it but the previous one did and I really like that if you turn the car on and everything's like do do do do do do and you know it's all green and digital and a 55 Chevrolet. Okay, so that used to be analog and dials. Oh, yeah, 1955, yeah, yeah. I'm stuck on this M4. I'm going to flip over to the picture of it again for everybody.

Like, this to me just seems like a really neat thing to own. And I feel like if I had this, I would have it for decades. You know, 30, 40 years, that would still be, you know, Woody's car. What color should it be? Link me to it. Okay. Because I've closed all those windows we were in earlier. That's fine.

This one and there's one more. i'll link it to you too this type 65 catches my eye as well but i i'm the mark four is these roadsters are very tight on the inside oh and the coops probably even tighter hmm it'd be neat if I could see one. Both of these are built on the Mustang platform, which is very affordable and common. And you can go to Craigslist and get the stuff you need. There was a supercar one, too, but only was it more expensive,

but it was built on a Corvette, and, you know, now you've got a problem. You get an old wrecked... I wouldn't let that completely discount it uh you can get you can start with wrecked stuff i think that would be the way to go if you're just getting a chassis right just get a wrecked one um it's been like really fucking rolled and destroyed and if you got to straighten it out just straighten it out you can get that done cheap you could get that these things typically come with the chassis. Oh. It just uses the powertrain.

But then, yeah, I don't know. It needs more research. But another problem, like, so one thing I've heard is, let's say that hypothetically you get a cheap Lamborghini, right? You find a steal of a Lamborghini, it's used or whatever, and you're getting it for 25 grand. So while it might be a $25,000 car to you, now you've signed up for supercar maintenance.

Every tire is gonna be 600 bucks. To get the oil changed in it is gonna be some outrageous amount. And it's gonna be really difficult. If anything goes wrong with this thing, they have to disassemble the whole car because everything's packed in there so tight um i just but this i don't this m4 on a mustang body i don't feel like i'm signing up for that it's like i i built it no you're not signing up that with any of these cars they're using they're using american drive trains right you're putting a small block chevy in there or a small

i don't like ford engines i don't know very much about them i've never worked on one don't have any experience whatsoever we always worked on everything we always had with chevrolet so like 327s and 350 small blocks and stuff like that that's um I was telling you before, but for everybody else, I, I'm actually really experienced with a lot of car maintenance. That has to do with, of course, all the maintenance stuff, but like the transmissions, the,

you know, I, I've built drive shafts before, like literally, you know, welder, et cetera. I've,

I've taken axles off. I've, I've swapped out axles, right? You know, I've taken one kind of axle, remove it, build a suspension for a different kind of axle, and put that under my rock crawler. With certain aspects of cars, I'm really competent. But the motor itself, when they take the top off and you see the crankshaft and all those pieces, and I don't even know what all the parts are called. They're like, these are the races and these are the this and that's enough.

And I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah. Or they'll point to it like, look what happens when your oil's bad. And there's like a very slight scoring to some surface. And I'm like, oh, yeah, I guess that's important, you know, based on your tone. Yeah, I can't do that stuff either. And when it comes to doing that stuff, you're going to have to get somebody else to help you. Or not do it. Or not do it.

Yeah. So I think I could swap an entire motor in and not have to disassemble and rebuild the whole engine. Find a proper motor that's still producing good power that was rebuilt or whatever and drop that thing in. You can start with a brand new motor. I mean, you can buy a crate engine. You can buy the engine brand new and start from scratch. What's a crate engine cost? Like $2,500? It depends what you want. I think maybe they are that cheap, but the higher you

go, the more crazy it gets. For $5,000, you get something extreme. And your sand rail, is your thing called a sand rail? You're buggy anyway. I don't know what it's actually called. It's based on that Desert Patrol vehicle. It's kind of a one-off custom-made thing. But it's got too much power. It tears the axles out.

That's what i was gonna say you're familiar with the weakest link issues uh some people call that the race car mentality right where you just yeah you put in a big engine and then you see what breaks and then you put in a big that thing and then some other thing because in my rock buggy i just bolt i beefed everything up until the um the third member. God, the ring and pinion? Is that what it is? Yeah, the ring and pinion.

Those teeth would snap off. And that was the thing that was my weakest link. And it's not a particularly good weak link. Like, that's a pain in the butt to fix, and it's fairly expensive. But anyway, yeah, that race car mentality. I'd like to not do that with this. I'd like to be able to put the pedal down and everything's okay 327 yeah you could do this thing the car doesn't need a ton of horsepower if you're going to do one of those little kit cars uh those little roadsters that

thing doesn't weigh shit if at 327 in there would be great if you had if you got 300 horsepower you got tons of horsepower you don't need four 400 or 500. That'd be cool. And like I said, doing it like that, you don't have to worry with all the paint and body. But then, you know, there's something to be said about taking something that's all rusty and it's on its last leg and bringing it back and giving it another 30, 40, 50 years of life. So, it just depends what you want to do. it is it's extensive and and like some of it's easy nut turning nuts and just oh yeah the all this stuff here needs to be taken off and new stuff needs to be putting off on but some of it's really fucking hard and you'll i think you'll end up having to

call people in because we do like when we get like right now uh he's got uh the the engine tore tore off like you just described you can see the crankshaft and everything and there's an you know he'll call an expert guy over there a mechanic over there and the mechanics looking at it they're all trying to figure out what's wrong with it and you know there's they're always calling in experts to try to figure out what's going on your father's it's going to say lucky that makes it sound like it's unearned but you it's good that your father has a network of people to call i really don't you. I don't know what I do. Knock on the Toyota deal.

Like, hello? Can you come to my place? Yeah. I don't know. Maybe those guys advertise. My dad just seems to know a few people who are just like shade tree mechanics. They have a shop in their backyard, and that's what they do for a living. And they'll come out to your place.

He used to race cars, so he's got a lot of mechanic buddies. Yeah. He do for a living. And, you know, they'll come out to your place. He used to race cars. So like, he's got a lot of mechanic buddies. That, yeah, he's got, he's got a network, but, um, you know,

like you said, I, I feel like in broad strokes, I could do this. I could take the engine out of one car, put it in this prebuilt chassis and you put the, the whole drive train in, you know,

put the axles in, bolt everything up and make it go. There's some stuff that's still a mystery in my head like the wiring harness. You're not going to want a wiring harness. You're going to have a carbureted engine so

there's not going to be as much wiring as if you had a steel injector. There's a what you need thing. Actually that first link i gave you there you can see the parts from the 87 to 04 mustang and a ford efi computer with wire harness oh god all right dude so i've done that before and god damn that's a bitch maybe you'd be better at this because you've because maybe like wiring is a thing that you excel at and you've you've you know you've built a computer and i know that it's very

different things but maybe some of that carries over but i remember when we put the wiring so we restored a 55 chevrolet bel-air and we instead of putting a standard like carbureted engine in there we decided to put a nice lt1 Corvette engine in there. A fuel injection 350, 5.7 liter. LT1 or LS1? LT1 is the truck version of it, right? It was the Corvette. LT is before LS. It's a different engine. I think the LS is aluminum block and I think the LT is not, but I'm not positive about that because it's been a while. Anyway, fuel injected 5.7 liter. I think they had them not, but I'm not positive about that because it's been a while. Anyway, fuel-injected 5.7 liter. I think they had them in Corvettes, and we stuck that in there,

and so it needed a new wiring harness, and so we bought a new wiring harness and hooked it up, and it must have taken—the manual is this thick! It's like a phone book! It took us weeks, I'm going to say, to get it done. In the off-road world, they sell custom wiring harnesses for these things and it removes a lot of what you don't care about in your thing but so efi engines are the only interesting things in off-road stuff because they work when they're tilted upside down or if you're going up

something or if you're bouncing carburetors work really poorly when you're bouncing on like the side of a like uphill and uh and it's a terrible time to lose power so uh everything's efi and those i never really had any electrical issues so i didn't build a lot of knowledge there but uh people that did seem to just get the knack for it you know or like i i knew a, he wired his poorly. Like it was too close to the drive shaft. And something happened and the drive shaft spun and sucked in all the wires. And it turned into this rat's nest of awfulness. And he's like, well, I've been meaning to make it. Let's just cut it off back here.

Yeah, so he did. He just like cut it off. He grabs a wiring harness, plugs it all back up. And, you know, for him it was like two hours worth of work most of the time being spent finding better routes you know zip tying it all up and i think part of our thing was like you know putting a corvette engine into a 1955 chevrolet and then some of the other alterations that had been made to it like the they had a custom air conditioning system and a few other things and and probably that digital odometer gauge cluster.

There was a lot of like, I guess we'll drill the hole here. Like there was so many wires, so many wires, and just looking at, you know, there's no internet, just looking in through this phone book. E7, it's black with a magenta stripe. And I'm like, what the fuck's magenta? I'm under a car with a flashlight right the cast blue or something that so this is this one i'm looking at the mk4 which is probably the

leading candidate of my current idea which is changing a lot but um this is the most popular kit sold in the world i like that i in my head i picture there being forums of people exchanging ideas and able to help you. And they're like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You need to go to obscurewireharnesses.com and they'll just hook you up with exactly what you need. I remember there were a lot of transmission things and I can't even tell you. Emission stuff, like a lot of emission stuff which in this might matter but in the off-road world emissions weren't a thing and it was like yeah you snip it off or they'd find some way to terminate it so that the motor thought emissions

were okay that's what that's what we that's what that's the easiest thing to always do is just to make the motor think that that those o2 sensors are doing what they're supposed to do everything everything across the board all that emissions bullshit you end up with more horsepower anyway cut all that shit out you don't need that yeah so nobody's checking us here that's what i love when i go to like when i see them doing emissions checks in places in other states and oh that would suck i don't even know what's coming out of my car especially some of those we put together like god knows so in georgia there's no emissions checks at all not that i know of like like maybe i'm wrong and and like you just have to live in a different area but like not that i know of like in jersey there are in jersey they put a thing in your tailpipe and that's an issue in north carolina

i think they just check your OBD2 sensor. They just plug into that and make sure that your engine's not reporting any trouble. Makes sense. That probably seems like something we could manage. Yeah. This seems great. Yeah. I think you should do something.

That'd be cool. The Apex house will be on the market soon. Oh, Apex was just rated the number one town in the country to live in that's good I was thinking that's good for what his house resale that's yeah I'm happy about that it can only be a good thing the it looks like the renovation is going to finish tomorrow and it was like 20 grand when it was all said and done our budget was kind of 12 to 20 that we thought we'd put into it. And sure enough, it's on the high end.

I don't know if I did too much or paid too much, but what's done is done. You got it done and you don't have to, and you can let that thing sit on the market as long as you want and get the, get what you want for it or at least determine, you know, what it's worth and get your best. We're happy to get out of it.

our realtor thinks that he can get multiple bids on it the first weekend we'll see i i always look at everybody's motivations that's my big thing right and uh he's telling me that we're gonna have multiple people bidding against each other to buy the house the first weekend that's what he wants all right one he's trying to get my listing he has it but you know he's saying this as he wants to get my listing. So keep in mind that this could be a sales thing he's telling me. Oh yeah, list with me, we'll get pro photography, we're gonna have 10 people bidding on your house first weekend.

That's what I want to hear. If we got 10 people bidding on it, maybe the price is too low. I could say that too. And then another thing he was saying, oh, he seems to be wanting to sell it really quick. Now I want to sell it quickly too. I want to get out of it. But if I'm a realtor, what I really want is to get lots of listings and I want the house to like I want to sell it without much effort you know it let's say that I earn six percent of 250 grand or six percent of 255 grand the difference there shit I'll do this real quick is 300 bucks right so one guess, is 3,300.

The other's 3,000. The 300 is not really the issue. You know, if I have to work five weeks to earn 3,300 instead of three days to earn three grand, I just want to flip these homes. I just want to get them selling all the time. So for him, it's only 300. But for me, it's 4,700.

Like, it's only 300, but for me, it's 4,700. Like it's a big deal. And, uh, it's in his best interest to sell the house with little effort. And it's in my best interest to maximize the price. So I will see, I'm not an expert in real estate. I'm just, yeah. Well, I mean, you're in, you're in the best position possible, right? Like you're already out of the house. You're in your new house. You can afford to let the thing sit there as long as you really need to. And you know, you you just they just named your town like the best place to live in the world apparently so great uh so sit back and wait everything's coming up millhouse yeah it should be good there that'll be good i bet you you should have it sold by the

end of the year hopefully that'd be nice i yeah i think actually a lot sooner than that like um we're gonna try and get the photographers in there i'm hoping for friday afternoon and uh and then you know in my dreams we've got multiple bids or so a week later and i wonder if when people google search that address if they get like into your into like woody's Gamertag land on the internet? Does that address bring up whatever cold port, blah, blah, blah, bring up Woody's Gamertag stuff? Or does it bring up Zillow and Realtor.com, blah, blah, blah stuff?

You're kind of making me want to work on a car now like the best and it's it's it's pretty convenient because like dad's always in the process of like souping something up i should go over there and work with him a little bit i just like i thought optic scumpy tweeted my address my old one but i see now that it's a fake optics company account um it is mostly like zillow and the stuff that you'd get everywhere uh here's corporate thing trademarkia that's how i first got outed that's how they found my address the first time but yeah by and large large, not a ton of normal stuff. Here's my phone number. Old one. Back to the show. So yeah, I hope you guys figure out that whole car thing.

That'll be fun to watch, if nothing else. The videos will be good regardless. Yeah, so the first thing to do is to make the shop. And what I'm doing now is working on the barn. That got derailed by my being sick uh yeah i was watching your videos i saw you guys uh you know knocking that thing down and ripping board off the outside and all that stuff i watched that day in the life i think i watched all of it it was like an hour and 15 minutes huh it's really long yeah yeah i i'm not

saying yeah it was so long like no i uh I watched it, and I genuinely enjoyed it all. It was a little look into your life. It was very long, and it covered everything, I thought. I liked it. I liked watching all the little facets of the day in the life of Woody. You get a lot of shit done. Yeah, I actually do get a lot of stuff done on most days. The day in the life ones, I'm careful to never sit down.

Of course. I should do one of those if I ever have a day where we do something cool that'd be fun i i really think dude on your second channel people would love that or there i don't know there's some it's it's rare that we cram enough into one day that that like that one day is is would would be good because i usually spread everything out over several days but if I was gonna do one of these I'd make sure that that day was like oh yeah and then you show up tomorrow too because we're doing this thing and you know make a thing of it but it yeah and then I

started to wonder like or do people even want to know because a real day in the life of Kyle might not be what they're hoping for they They might hope for the imaginary life of Dan Blazarian. You know, like, oh, I woke up. That's what I would. And then I, like, push six girls out of the bed. Yeah, I would do something. Now, you know me. I would have some fun with it.

I wouldn't be like, ah, I think I'll have some Rice Krispies. Like, I'd make it. I'd have some fun with this whole thing. It'd be silly. You know, there'd be some silly stuff going on, and it wouldn't be exactly a normal day in the life, but it'd be the most interesting day in the life of this year, more likely. Would it be a real day in the life?

More or less. Okay. Yeah. It would be a real day, but maybe I add a few things that are just for silly, for shits and giggles just silly stuff i think that'd be fun yeah yeah because you never know i might do it probably won't you know what though like it is a good video idea as i think it through like

if you were to step it up and turn your life into you know what blazarian says his is like that'd be a fun video where you just say, yeah, I get up today and I bought 22 toilets. I have to do this shit myself. We had fun in that last video. We had Elvis there and everything. I think that's going to be a funny video. I'm going to try to upload that one Saturday.

So that should be good. We had the exploding toilets and we had Elvis there. That was so funny. I took lots of snapshots of him dressed as Elvis. That was really hilarious. He didn't give a fuck. It left nothing to the imagination. It was completely pornographic. We had to be careful how we filmed him.

That Elvis costume was not made for a man of his stature. That Elvis costume was not made for a man of his stature. So the day in life is cool. I'm going to sort of finish up the stable, make it watertight, make it good, and then transfer our energies over to the shop. Just as he's moving in, as we record this, I want to say... It's like this month. Eight days.

Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah. So I'm going to get that thing filmed. I may be filming at the end of this week and at the end next week. And then I'll be free to do our survival trip. I haven't been back to the woods. It's rained every time I've set out to do so. I don't want to walk through

rainy wilderness. It's not the right time to scout. I need to go back there. I've got to nail down our exact spot. I've got to do that. I think I'm all good and all set for that thing. I've still got everything

that we bought for the last trip. I think I've got everything I need. I've got for that thing. I'm not, you know, I've still got everything that we bought for the last trip. So I think I've got everything I need. I got all that bullshit. Oh, my seal, my SOG Seal Team Elite knife. I was, when we were filming the other day, I was on the tailgate and I was like stretching string out

and then like chopping it and like, you know, it cut and I was going real fast like that, cutting lots and lots of string because we were tying stuff up. And I nicked the claw of a hammer with the blade. Blade snapped right in two.

No! Halfway down the blade, right in two. This just snapped. I guess hammers harden steel. It doesn't fuck around. I snapped it at just the right angle, speed, whatever. Broke the knife right in half. I'd like to see that.

Let me run upstairs and grab it. Okay. All right. So one time we used to do like, Lefty was left alone and he started pimping like his own podcast, which I guess you could call a sister podcast or a rival podcast, depending on your point of view. But things were bumpy

between us behind the scenes and uh we didn't like it so another time chiz was on and he did this singing thing that said you know it's the chiz show and we started mocking that because it was funny for a while and someone on the subreddit was like hey i think that's a total cop-out you guys have done commentaries and such for ages. You're perfectly capable of talking to a mic on your own without just resorting to the same chisho joke repeatedly. So I guess oh, Kyle's back. But I'm going to try not to resort to that joke anymore. And just, you know, carry the air and have something to say all the

time. Welcome back. Wow. It did it, huh? It seems so bulletproof. Like the weight of it and the handle in particular. It's metal, the handle. If you can't tell, it almost looks rubberized on camera. But to hold it. Mine is rubberized on camera but um to hold it

mine is rubberized oh really maybe i'm going off bad memory then okay well the whole thing just feels it's strong and it's heavy and it's it is what it is i did not expect it to just snap like that yeah um it was kind of doing a chopping motion and you can even i can see like the nicks in the blade where it hit the claw and uh yeah i just did it in i don't know i'll send it back to him yeah huh i wonder what kind of warranty they offer i'm sure they'll send me one i wonder what kind of service they give normal people i don't know probably you would you would imagine they'd have like most of those like knife and tool companies do a lifetime thing but i don't know. You would imagine they'd have... Most of those knife and tool companies do a lifetime thing, but I don't know

really. A lot of them do. I think their margins are super high. That knife in your hand, is it like $75 or $100? $180, I think. I just imagine their materials and the machines that make it.

I think they're they're doing really well possibly i honestly don't know it um i don't know how much that like knife grade steel costs to like get and then i think they make i think these are made in china i taiwan tai i don't know if that's how much cheaper that is or what but i i just suspect they're pumping out knives is seven dollars and fifty cents each in costs sounds for 180 a pop and maybe i i honestly i honestly don't know um you would hope honestly i would hope so like that that'd be a hell of a racket you're you're making them for seven7, selling them for $100. $7.50. Let's be fair. $7.50.

Yeah. In any case, I kind of want to keep it and, I don't know, forge it out and heat it up, hammer it out, and make it into something. But I think I'm just going to send it back and get a new knife. Make a dagger. Yeah. Something. I don't know.

What else do you want to talk about there was another there was a terrorist attack right and uh was it in you talking about in china no so there was that chemical plant explosion or whatever in china yes uh that massive those those two massive explosions but then there was a backpack bombing uh in uh in taiwan or somewhere like that. And they killed a lot of people. It was some sort of holy site they bombed. I could be wrong. You know what?

I was sick as I was reading about this. They weren't Americans, if that makes you feel any better. How many real people were killed? None, as far as i know i heard there were some dogs that got hurt oh that's sad yeah it's that awful you know in the movies when like you'll see like row of countless bad guys just annihilated innocent people on the street entire skyscrapers smush them you eat some popcorn but if the dog if the dog catches a bullet like or you know even in john wick you know they stomp out the puppy you're like oh dude oh no what was the will smith movie where he fought aliens i am legend those were those were yeah i was going for

independence day though uh independence day early in the scene, they're running from these giant, super powerful spaceships, put a beam of laser heat, whatever, and it just annihilates cities. They're running. They're in a tunnel. I think the one that goes from New York to New Jersey. Underground. They're in a tunnel, and they're trying to go through this side door, and the heat is just like flames filling the tunnel doing their thing and they're like running trying to outrun the flames in the nick of time the dog just makes it through the door meanwhile we've watched like 1500 cars a million million they just overturned

like in a cascade of dominoes of death. Skyscrapers and apartment buildings all getting scorched like Hiroshima. That was Will Smith's dog. Come on. Oh, yeah. Well, that makes all the difference. Yeah, and then you're very concerned about the dog. But that's how I'm wired. I am too.

Yeah, that's how a lot of us are wired, unfortunately. I don't know what it is. I don't know why. But I saw there was a preview. It goes Americans, dogs, other humans. Okay. All right. I see.

Now, when you say dogs, is that all dogs? I think it is. Or do American dogs get a leg up? What if it's an American? Because I saw a preview for this American hero dog. He was like a Marine dog, and he was a hero, and the whole premise of the movie was like while he was overseas, his handler died

in some horrible way, and the dog was there, and the dog also got injured, and so he would no longer be like a war dog. So they send him home to the dead soldier's younger brother who then has to like get the dog back to like not fighting shape but like back emotionally the way the dog was before and i just as soon as i saw those previews i was like that's gonna be the saddest fucking thing ever like you got some kind of an american hero dog dead soldiers and like i just know there's gonna be a part where the dog fights off some attackers and saves the mother or something at the end and gets shot and he's all limpy and like no i'm not

watching that shit i'm gonna be crying at that fucking fake hollywood dog no voiced by michael j fox do you remember he did that dog movie do you know i'm talking about homo yeah homeward bound that's a great movie yeah yeah. That was a good movie. Yeah, he was the bulldog. There was the bulldog, the cat, and there was the golden retriever. Shadow, yeah. And Chance was, I think, the dog. Yep. And the cat.

Didn't Kirstie Alley voice the cat? I don't know. I think Kirstie Alley voiced the cat, maybe. Anyway, I loved that movie as a kid. And the fact that the dogs... It never occurred to me that these are just animals hanging out. They're not really talking. The way they did these old

movies back then, it's not like today. Now they make dogs' mouths move. Their lips curl and enunciate letters and you're like, that dog just totally said an R word. You could totally see him curl his lip to make the R, but it wasn't like that back then. They didn't have that fucking technology so you just got three animals together and filmed them kind of looking around and then michael j fox came in there was like i don't know what to do

my owner's gone and and they just added voices to random b-roll of animals like walking around outside like like it's the easiest movie ever to film really like the humans are barely on scene on on set it seemed like it was just the dogs hanging out in a park and you had voices but as a kid i'm sold i'm like yeah chance is talking now shadow's gonna shadow's gonna come in he's gonna give us some experience here he's an old dog he's at least seven he knows what's up and i watched it it's like uh i don't know 18 19 year old and i was like what the fuck those animals aren't talking they're just hanging out in a park aren't they same thing with milo and otis you ever see milo and otis the little pug and the little

orange kitten i don't think i have seen that one dude it's so i must have seen this a dozen times as a kid uh it must have came out when i was like five or six because I remember like first grade me, all the time they played it at school. So you got this pug, puppy, and this orange kitten and they're both born on a farm at the same time. You never see humans in the whole movie and it's just them kind of interacting together. Like they become best friends. It's called The Adventures of Milo and Otis. And long story short, Milo and Otis, there's a creek that runs past the farm. One of them falls in the creek, gets swept away. The other jumps in to save it, and they both get washed away from the farm.

And the whole movie is a puppy and a kitten trying to find their way back to the farm. And in doing so, they grow up to be a dog and a cat and have puppies and kittens of their own. And it's this whole coming-of-age story. But it's the same thing. It's just a dog. And then a guy comes in i don't know what to do they're just adding voices to dogs and cats hanging out but it's not that kids now are spoiled there's no imagination required you know they said that about me every generation i don't

know man that the mouths move now i feel like like if you showed some kids some of the stuff we watch now, they'd think it was witchcraft. When I was a kid, Legos didn't come in the pre-built kits they do now. That's just it. When I saw those pre-built kits, I was like, I never want to buy a Lego again. That's like a kit now. My wife loves them.

She's basically into making models. It's model whatever making. There's basically into making models. It's model whatever making. And there's a lot of pieces. I don't mean to exaggerate, but I think there's like 1,500 pieces or 3,000 pieces. She made a working kind of... What is the big flying aircraft carrier in Avengers? Oh, the hover carrier carrier hover carrier yeah whatever i think you get it she made that thing and you can spin it and all the turbines go that's cool open it and you can see like the deck where um who's the black guy Samuel L Jackson but I'm going for his character

Oh age fury yeah yeah thank you yeah so you can open it you can see where like agent fury you know commands all the other people and stuff and and she really enjoyed making it I hated buying it it was really expensive but it's it I don't know I know it's not Legos anymore it's model building yeah exactly they were like it takes no imagination or whatever i'm like yeah whatever i used to just make triangles and call them spaceships like my shit wasn't good at all yeah it's it wasn't that i was good at taking just the regular blocks and creating a thing it's just that that seemed like the way to do it i remember i felt like we were spoiled when we got this big flat

Lego floor that everything would connect to so you could build a structure. It was just a big flat piece of plastic with the Lego bumps on top so you could build your house on top of that. We never had anything cool like that. I had a train set when I was a kid.

I put that together when I was six. I like to put the rest of my toys on it and have them be on like collision courses and set the train on fire and stuff. Are you familiar with those like Tyco racetracks? Yeah. The ones where they're like, they zip around and stuff and like do figure eights. As a kid, I wanted that so bad. I would ask for it every Christmas, and it just wouldn't come. I was like, I want a racetrack. I want the racetrack. I want the racetrack.

Eventually, I get the racetrack, right? And, you know, I'm like pointing to it, wearing out the TV, touching it so much, pointing, pointing, pointing. And, you know, they got me the one I wanted. And there was a section of the track that went up the wall, turned around, and came back down. And that was like the coolest thing. And there was a section of the track that went up the wall turned around and came back down and that was like the coolest thing and I was so excited about it but I'm a child and I don't have the talent to assemble this thing as it's meant to be done and like I don't know in my house

just without question I will help the children and get this shit done appropriately and professionally. That didn't happen, so they're like, here it is, go in the basement and not be with me. Go. And I put it together and all I could manage was an oval. And I still liked it, but it was like, man, like it could have been so great.

Could have been so great. Come on, Dad, why didn't you sit on the floor with me and put together the racetrack? I should go up on the wall. They didn't want to do that stuff. Mine wouldn't sit with me and put stuff together either. I remember the one time he sat down and played imagination toys with me. It was a fun day. They just didn't play with kids back then. You know, you had to do some man stuff if you're gonna be with your dad you had

to go out there and i did like you that's why a lot of my like i don't know hobbies talent skills are like adult man stuff they're the stuff my dad was good at he could he shot a bow competitively so i learned to shoot a bow he liked to go to gun competition so I learned to shoot a gun like that there's a reason like he wouldn't play video games with me I had to play that I was playing Street Fighter by myself that shit's no fun yeah solo Street Fighter dad no I'll give him a pass on the video games because I they can be supremely uninteresting to people who aren't interested but i don't know train sets and stuff like that like dad's supposed to suck it up and help the kids the train set was assembled when i woke up it was it was ready to go and other presents were like on the cars and

it was so it was carrying them around you know the whole living room and that was cool i liked my train set i don't know what happened that fucking thing i got it when i was like five and never saw it again we have a train set for our christmas tree it goes around the bottom and just an oval it's pretty cool jackie wants to go crazy with the christmas stuff this year i that like decoration so we have one room that would fit like a i don't know i don't even know how tall the room is 18 18 feet maybe. She wants a big tree. Griswold family Christmas! Hot as hell.

I'm like, what do I do with this tree? You know, even though it's tall enough, I don't have a freaking nine foot wide door. Like, how do you even get the tree in the house? You wrap it first so that the whole thing is bundled down to something that's more like three and a half, four feet wide. And then you force that stump first through your doorway. Now that works on, that's how I get normal trees into my house.

Like if I get like a six or seven foot tree, I guess it's like a seven or eight foot tree. If I get that in the house, that's what it's all wrapped up and then I undo it. But when the tree's 15 feet tall, the bottom things are, they're not branches anymore. They're limbs, right? 15 feet tall the bottom things are they're not branches anymore their limbs right they they're this thicker there are trees coming out the side of a 15 foot tree i'm no expert but you might have a problem there yeah maybe if like if you imagine like a 50 foot tree and you cut off the top 15 feet maybe those branches

will fold up so you can get it into the house. I don't know how that's going to work. I don't know either. Maybe there's some tree. You have plenty of time to get ready for this. What I would do instead of an enormous tree, which seems terrible for the environment, I feel like you should cover that house in LEDs till it glows like Clark Griswold's did. That meter should just be doing this like i i've all that's what i've

always wanted to do to like literally like take the lights you know the string of lights and like one row goes here vertically up and down the house and the next row is here and they just keep going and and and the lights are almost touching so the entire house just glows dude the power system in this house is ridiculous it's why we don't have a backup. Like, we kept getting quotes on, like, a backup generator, and it kept coming to, like, $35,000, $40,000. You know, they're like, oh, do you have, like, oh, that's a big house. Do you have the 400-watt service? And I'm like, no, we have three 200-watt services.

And they're like oh well you're going to have to step up to this like commercial thing with car engines in it and like the switch just to turn it on was crazy and we needed several that's why i never understood why you couldn't just uh send power to like one part of the house or like they're like that are like you know life support systems they're spread out to see that's the problem i i think that we could have maybe made it so that two of them work like two of the breakers are two of the circuit panels are next to each other so we could like swap some from here and whatever and make it work but um that was an issue too because one would be kind of overloaded.

Like a lot of the stuff that we can't live without, like the heating and air conditioning, that's like the point of it really to have HVAC. They're the 220 things. They're the big power drains. And then we're sticking all these things we can live without, like some light bulbs and things in the other. It was hard to make it work and then still have a decent system afterwards.

And I think that, I don't know, we may readdress it someday. It's just before we moved here, it was like, yeah, we really want a generator. We really want a generator. Now, I think since November of last year, we've had... Oh, there was a power outage one time, actually. It was brief. No, in my area anyway, I think it lasted overnight. Oh, that's not good. Yeah, so there was an overnight power outage,

but we didn't live here at the time. The house was being worked on. My internet went out last night. That's always so annoying. That's almost as bad, really. What's the point of power? I don't know what to do. I hate when the internet's out

because, I don't know, at 10 p.m. at night, we're watching Netflix or we're watching Amazon or we're watching something. Do you have cable TV? No, no. I haven't for...

I haven't since I had an apartment. It's been a really long time since I had cable. I had satellite for a bit. Um, but no, right now the internet goes out, the entertainment goes out. Um, so I was like getting DVDs out, ended up watching Munich. You ever seen Munich? It's about the, uh, the, the, what was that? It's like black November. I don't remember the name of the terrorist group but they're the ones who went to the Munich Olympics in Germany killed all those Israelis and then the Israelis went systematically after that and sent those guys to go take out

each member that was responsible for the whole thing and it stretched out over years, there's all this like and it's real, it's a true story and they're using, there there's some spy stuff. They blow one guy up with a sophisticated bomb that uses a phone to set it off. They just straight up shot one guy. They found his routine.

That'd be the American way. Yeah, right? That's how we took out Osama. I don't know. We blew up more people than we shoot, I feel like, at this point. They blew one up, shot one. They needed to take somebody out at one point, and they had this. It looked like a pipe, and you slap the back, and it shot a bullet, but it was a silencer, too, so it was just like, and it's a gun.

There's a lot of cool spy stuff, and it's a true story about why you don't fuck with the Israelis because those are scary, scary people, and we give them hundreds of millions of dollars yeah i it almost circles back to politics again i i watch sanders and stuff and there are a lot of things that bernie sanders says that i consider really right but he's just not close enough the gun thing he's got wrong in my opinion yeah you heard what he said i saw him he doesn't know that anytime they i let i think one of the i think what you're talking about in particular is what do they call it like a semi-assault rifles or something he's getting his yeah it's some people may think that's nomenclature but they really don't know the

difference between an ar-15 that you have behind in your in your closet over there and like the m16 that i have and while and i know that the differences seem small but they're big it's the difference between a machine gun and a sporting rifle what you've got is i would argue that i i don't know i think your M16's most deadly mode is in semi-auto anyway. I think. For spring crowds, I think the machine gun would be devastating. And, you know,

you're never going to have that argument with a politician or anybody who's not us anyway that a machine gun isn't as deadly as a semi-auto. You just can't go there. It would be a no-win argument. But my thing is like he was talking about the 10 round capacity and all that bullshit and how no hunters use

semi-autos and he's just uninformed that is wrong i i'll let him slide on the one little brain fart he had where he called things i think he said you know semi-assault rifles it's like all right you know he just said it wrong like i'll let it go I'm sure if I made a gun video, I'd say something wrong. And you put a mic in front of someone, they'll say something wrong. But the bigger issue I had is like, I just, I don't agree with his limit on the magazine capacities. I don't think that that serves. I think that that restricts a lot of people just to stop a very few ineffectively you know it's not going to change behavior it's not going to reduce the effectiveness of the killer very much you're not going to take the magazines off the streets that's what you're not going to do they're there

in such numbers that that like if you're not a gun person like if you don't if you don't go to like these gun shows and these big gun things that I go to, it's hard to understand the amount of this shit that's out there. You can't get it all. If you had a government agency whose job was to get it all, it would be, it would fail. They couldn't do it.

And you can't take it from gun owners. Like that's a thing. Like that cold. Cause they've got guns. That, that cold. There are some people who take that really serious. They came here to take my guns. I wouldn't ruin my whole way of life and family or whatever. cold because they've got guns that that cold there are some people who take that really serious they

came here to take my guns i wouldn't ruin my whole way of life and family or whatever i just some people would enough people would that it would be a non-issue by day two you'd be like maybe we should have rethought this thing there have been shootings in 14 14 states since yesterday there are dozens of end of civilians dead dozens long... There would be a civil war. A small one, yeah. Some people probably wouldn't like people saying this, but I would probably just... If they came to my house and said,

Woody, do you have guns? I'd be like, yeah, I guess. Because I got a whole family here. Things are going good. It's not worth it for me to throw it all away. Well, it depends on what leads up to that. If they came tomorrow and said, hey, we need your guns, it's like, what are you going to do? But if leading up to that, you saw that, wait a

minute, like, Trump's been president for 14 years now. Okay? He took the calendars away from us so we couldn't keep track of it anymore. Now he wants our guns. The world looks like one of the bad futures in Back to the future with

biff in charge when that happens you're like nah biff i'm keeping my ar-15 i guess i might need to fight some tyranny here that's the whole point of these things yeah um but but yeah i see where you're coming from yeah i don't like sanders on the gun control just like i don't like him on his you know the way he you want to talk about those corporations that are that have sort of robbed the american people blind in one way or another i understand that and i hate those people but you can't just say anyone who makes over x amount of money no longer gets to make money because your best and brightest aren't going to be motivated motivated to do anything anymore at least not in this country people need to understand what happens with these like out of country sales too like okay so i'm apple right if i make something

in china and i sell it in london is that a u.s profit because it's not like that's how that's how these companies are dodging these taxes they're like you you know what? We're a global company. Not all of our profits run through America. We're paying taxes on this money in London or in China or whatever the different places are. And it's not for free. Cisco did this too, right? Cisco would sell routers. They're huge in the UK. And we had money outside the United States that we didn't want to bring in because if we did, then it became a U.S. profit. Like we would have to pay taxes on that. So we had money that existed in like European banks and stuff because it was built outside the U.S. It was shipped outside the U.S.

The United States had nothing to do with it or at least very little to do with it. And that's how these companies don't pay U.S. taxes. these companies don't pay US taxes. If you go nuts on increasing taxes, then people are going to start finding ways to not use the US anymore, right? Like, how is Woody Craft a US company? I don't know. I mean, we certainly have a bunch of US customers and we pay taxes on that. But there's parts of me that are like, why isn't this thing a Cayman Islands company? There's no presence here. A lot of our sales are to Europeans and stuff. LA to UK is kind of our player base and some Australians in there. We could serve this thing off the Cayman Islands and sell things to Europe and there'd be nothing American about it. But, and if they start like really like raising taxes here,

then that's what people will do. They'll find a way out of it. Just like the minimum wage thing. Bernie Sanders is for a $15 minimum wage. $15 is a lot. I would like everyone to make $15. I think that sounds pretty good. That's Taco Bell's paying $7.25 right now.

Are they? Yeah. I didn't know they paid. I don't know what minimum wage is actually. I don't either. But $15 as a minimum wage sounds great. And if I'm making minimum wage, I can see why I'm on the Bernie train. But companies really, really will start replacing these cashiers with automated machines. At $15 an hour, you're just going to be really attractive to automate and get rid of. And I think that's – understand the consequences. Yeah. You can't – I like the way Trump looks at that stuff because he'll talk about a friend of his who does construction work and he talks about how the guy used to always buy Caterpillar and now all of a sudden he's buying Komatsu or something.

And the crowd's like, boo, boo. He's like, no, don't boo him. He didn't do anything wrong. Komatsu's cheaper. It's easier to do business with Japan. And he starts going into government regulation and he starts talking about putting tariffs on goods and stuff and goes that way. I'm in agreeance with him.

I don't know why people always want to blame the business guy who's sitting there and saying, well, why would I buy American if it's just as good here and 20% cheaper? I owe that to my family, the shareholders if you're part of one of these traded companies, all those people. If you're the CEO making this decision to buy American and your competitors go into Komatsu, why would I want to own your stock? I don't have any faith in you as a CEO now. You just made a bad decision. These other guys are using Komatsu to do their construction work.

Their costs are 20% lower. You got to. If I had to vote right now, it would be for Kasich. I think I learned to pronounce his name at last. Who? He's the governor from Ohio. Okay. Every time I hear him speak,

which isn't really that often, and your who is a perfect question, but it's like, he's a Republican and he really seems to be willing to go out of step with the Republican Party. Which, you know, maybe that's just what I'm looking for. A liberal conservative.

You could say that, yeah. A compassionate one would probably be bullshit again. Yeah, it's going to be hard. I want someone right in the middle, because I think both of us are kind of right there in the middle with our beliefs and what we want. Right in the middle, because I think both of us are kind of right there in the middle with our beliefs and what we want. In my head, there's something about Sanders and Trump that are striking the same chord, even though they're on opposite ends of the spectrum. You know, they're like Sanders is telling the truth, I think, and he's certainly saying what he believes. Whereas Trump, I don't think is telling the truth. I believe that Trump knows he's lying to you

all the time. Everything with Trump. What'd you say? Pandering. He's pandering. But he's also hyperbolic. Everything. Oh, my mom? She was the greatest mom in the history of moms. And she was a beautiful lady. My mom? Top shelf.

Everything fantastic about her. My dad, too. And my company's best stuff ever to have been stuff. And then over here, Mexico. Ho, ho, ho, ho. Terrible. Worst country you've ever heard of. Just rapists and murderers as far as I know.

And everything is the greatest or the most horrible, awful thing ever. And it's just him and that's how he does his salesmanship. And I believe, ISIS, ah, if it were me, I would just wipe out ISIS. I'd get rid of the ISIS problem. Really, like how would you do that? Well, I can't tell ya. I can't tell ya that would make my plan less effective.

Like, oh, that kind of makes sense, but I feel like you know in your heart you're full of shit. Like, you know in your heart that this is a difficult problem to solve. You know, we armed bin Laden against Russia. Then suddenly bin Laden's a big problem. So we go after bin Laden and suddenly another one pops up. And then, like, after that other one popped, I want to say ISIS is after that. And you know.

ISIS is all about what we did in Iraq. They say that a lot of the top uh like officers the generals or whatever you want to call them of isis former uh uh saddam guys they used to run saddam's army now they're running because they're very army-ish too like it like a lot of the like uh what the hell is um al-q. I couldn't think of that for a second. Al-Qaeda was very hit and run to me. They had an army, and they would take over cities sometimes. But I think that by and large, they're the car bomb people.

They're the assassination people. They're those guys. They blow stuff up, and then they're kind of gone. These people are coming in, and they want to set up shop. Yeah. It's in the name. The Islamic States of Syria and Iraq. They're taking up... they want to set up shop yeah like they this is i mean it's in the name the islamic states of syria and iraq like they're taking up their this is ours now they're conquering that's the difference

these are conquerors versus people who are trying to you know you know i mean the one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter they've got a goal in mind they're hoping that by the you know blowing shit up and killing lots of people and hurting U.S. interests that they're going to shape U.S. policy. But that just never works, it seems. Who's going to be like, well, they blew up our embassy and we're going to take that as a sign to get the fuck up out of there.

Nobody said that once. They can't blow up our fucking embassy. We invented H.E. That's always the route we invented what ag he high explosive oh thank you um yeah i like that we invented ag that's us that's our thing you're a baby um but yeah isis as you as you said they seem to be wanting to like form a country and start a government and occupy a territory and um that's yeah they're they're bad but so back to trump and sanders even though trump to me

seems to be full of shit all the time and um and hyperbolic there's still something i i don't want to say genuine i i don't want to, but like... Straightforward. He seems like he's, if you ask him a question, he'll give you a pretty straightforward answer. It seems like he's coming right off the top of his head a lot of the time. Yeah, he's less calculated. Like, they're good, but less calculated.

Bernie Sanders, too. I feel like Bernie Sanders is coming from the heart. He's telling you what he is. There's an angel and a devil with those two in my head. And Trump, despite being the devil in this situation, he's still fucking like – you believe that that's kind of where he's coming from. Whereas I feel like a lot of these other candidates are political creations. They're talking to their advisors about what they should believe.

They're just trying to get this job. Yeah, you can't trust what Jeb Bush says about policy. I don't think you can trust what any of them say about anything. They're all formed by focus groups. I'm checking out this time. I'm only interested because I want to see what Trump does. I hope he's staying strong next year, March, April, going into the home stretch of this

thing. I hope Trump is a contender. Some people say that 25% is his floor and his ceiling, and that a product of a 17-man field or whatever it is now in the Republican race is what's delivered us Trump in the lead. That yeah, when you break it up into that many pieces, and you've got a guy like Trump whose floor and ceiling is 25%, he's always going to be your leader and he's going to ruin this thing for you. They're trying to say they should break it down, but who do you break it down to? You see where the numbers are falling and like Cruz is up there and like Bush is underperforming. It must be a real-

I'm sorry to cut you off but you know trump cruz and bush are current people right like one of my favorites casick i think might be one of the ones that would get cut in that scenario and someone else's favorite you know is probably santorum and someone else i saw that doctor his numbers are up as well carson right yeah i'm not really educated on him um there's a lot of attack ads that... I think Jeb Bush paid for the attack ads. Him or Cruz. I feel like he took a bite out of both their numbers

after the last debate. And they're bringing up something where he experimented. They're making it sound like he's Dr. Evil. He experimented on fetal tissue. He's just like, of course I experimented on fetal tissue. Did he kill embryos? is that what he did no no like like it was just it was like there was a dead baby or some dead fetal tissue whatever they're calling it it's it was probably it's probably even uh uh more um less horrible than it sounds and and either bush or cruise one

made this whole attack at uh after making him seem like some sort of dr kuborkin baby doctor uh some kind of monster i hate those people uh it would be so awful to be a politician i i hope when i'm looking forward to the attack ads for trump and because i feel like he's the kind of guy that in these debates he'll be like and i saw your attack ad last night bush and just like just call him out on I feel like, I want him to rip Bush on his brother. I'm waiting on those. I'm waiting on those one-liners. He's done stuff like that before.

Like, he's like, he's funny. He's so, he has such a high opinion of himself about everything. But I was listening to Trump and he's like, you know, Jeb Bush is saying that Iraq was a good idea. Now, I don't know this, but I'm an expert in psychology. That's what he said. And you're like, yeah, yeah. He's not an expert. He's just a regular person, a rich one.

He could be. I mean, this guy's Batman, okay? If he wanted to be an expert in psychology, he could make that happen in a couple months. He'd bring in some expert psychologists. Teach me. Come on, Let's go I feel like if he wanted these things he could do them I don't know if he's the kind of man who would but he seems like he is he seems like the kind of guy who's

Like if when he gets fixated on something like he just makes it happen Did you see the whole thing about him being going after Princess Diana? So in no get to it in ten seconds. He's like, but I'm an expert in psychology So I imagine that George called Jeb said hey, you're making me look bad Jeb said don't you worry? So, no, get to it. In 10 seconds he's like, but I'm an expert in psychology, so I imagine that George called Jeb, said hey, you're making me look bad, and Jeb said don't you worry, now I'm pro-Iraq war. And he's like, this guy'll say anything.

And it's like, you totally pulled all that out of your ass, and the only basis is your psychology expertise. And everyone's an expert in psychology to some extent, right, you can read each other's faces and you have an idea but uh you know trump just unabashedly says that so anyway princess die yeah so i guess after she divorced prince charles he was obsessed with her he thought she would be the perfect trophy wife and he was sending hundreds of they said hundreds of pounds worth of flowers to her apartment or whatever but yeah uh he was apparently yeah yeah flooding her with like crazy huge bouquets of flowers and stuff and uh after she died he said

that was one of his biggest regrets that he never got to court her as he put it he thought that she was the perfect woman huh and if you look at him back back back then like early 90s or whenever that was trump was a good looking guy trump used to be a good looking guy like he looks like he's an odd looking fellow now because of the hair and the jowls and you know he just didn't tanning it hasn't yeah there's a few things he's he's not attractive there's something yeah and he's also not conventionally aging like you know like it's just a little off yeah parts are too smooth parts are too smooth but like i feel like the gels aren't quite right and he's done the crazy hair thing when i think i'd rather see a

more traditional receding hairline like whatever it is that he has just do i bet it's awful i bet it's like bald in like a squiggly pattern or something like that. I think he could grow hair. I had a friend I worked with. He could grow hair in the front, but he was balding on the top, so he just shaved it bald. I was like, what are you doing? He's like, I had no choice. There's no good

hairstyle that works with a bean sprout in the front here. He's like, you're a unicorn? No. This is what you do. And fortunately for him, he was really muscular. And I think that you need to be pretty well built to pull off white bald. I agree.

I feel, I agree with that, yeah. Well, he used to be a good looking guy. Not so much anymore, but I was looking at pictures of him from I guess maybe the 80ies or something like that. It's a handsome guy. My daughter always takes offense to him saying that he would marry his daughter. Why?

I, he just said like, I heard his quote. It's, I'm going to mess it up, but it was something like, you know, she's a lovely lady. She's smart. She's educated. She's beautiful. You know, like if I wasn't her parent, you know, I would marry her. And, uh, it, I took it to mean like, like that's his highest compliment. Like, you know, she's good enough for moi, you know, like, like that's his high, that's the highest compliment. You just gotta keep in mind, this guy is a narcissist worth $10 billion. Okay.

This is Donald Trump trump when he says that she's good enough to marry that's a fucking seal of approval he just gave you a gold medal motherfucker like it doesn't matter what reality may be uh-huh i mean you look at his current wife like like she's super hot his previous wife also super hot uh i mean he's marrying well in my head marriage at least in looks wise he's marrying up every time. Oh yeah, big time. Yeah. Well, I don't, like I said, he was a good-looking guy back in the day. He's old now. I don't know how old he is. I don't know if he still sleeps around, but I bet when he was more, uh, you know,

when his libido was stronger, he probably slept around. He was, he was, like, he did own the Miss America pageant or whatever, right? You think he was like fucking fucking Miss New Jersey behind the domsters. Do you remember when that sex tape came out like right around Miss Universe there is oh god there is it some guy like I'm gonna get my countries wrong but like he had a three-way with like miss Asia miss like in Japan and miss Jamaica or something and I watched the sex tape and I'm like this is the luckiest fuck in the world and then it's like whoa like he's fucking miss

Cambodia in the ass right now you know while someone else is doing this to him in it yeah he had like a three a three- or four-way. All right. And they were all, like, current year, like, you know, just before, like, contest time. I'd steal the sash and keep it as a trophy. What's that? Is that Miss Argentina sash? What the fuck is that?

Oh, I already knew. Yeah. Some guys hang the garter of? Oh, I already knew. Yeah. Some guys hang the garter of their prom date on the rearview mirror. I got Miss Argentina sash. Garter. What kind of prom date is wearing a garter? That was a thing in my high school. I'll bet it was.

You know, the horse and buggy pull up. The lady would mind her garter and she'd hop on in uh it was it wasn't attached to anything or anything i recall i don't know whatever dude prom was way sluttier back i don't know if it was my high school or my like era but um like i see girls now they're wearing like prom dresses. Dude, in my high school, 150 people at the prom, roughly. Maybe 10 dresses that went down to the ankle. They were all sexy, thigh high, whatever, prom dresses back in my day. I remember one of the...

So I went with my girlfriend or whatever. And her friend was super hot. And she had like, I don't know, there was like, it looked like lingerie or something. Like there was so much material removed. It was a dress, like all dresses, but then they just took slices of it out in the middle and like around the thigh so you could almost see her ass and like strategic big swaths were removed and we're now like completely translucent like silk or something like that and it was just like big X's in the front so you could see like like only her nipples were covered

like there was definitely some sexy yeah both so I went to junior and senior prom both of them their prom dresses were so like so it was almost like a like a western can-can type thing in that like it was so obvious you were going to see their underwear all night that the underwear was like part of the outfit and and like there it was it was like bloomers or something with, like, frills on it or whatever. Like, yeah, it was just way sluttier than current proms. I hate both my proms. Both of them were just complete disasters.

One of them, I remember, let's see, how did I piss her off? It was just a real meltdown. So it was something like we got the limo driver to buy us some booze and he drank a beer while he drove us back. I didn't give a one beer. I didn't give a fuck. The guy can crack a beer. He's an adult. He just had told us a story about doing cocaine

and driving from Atlanta to Florida and back non-stop with Britney Spears and her posse in that limo. I figured he could handle a Coors Light at that point in the evening. One man, one beer. Her uncle had been killed by a drunk driver eight years prior

and she just had a whole fucking meltdown about it. That was one year. Then the next year, same girl, one of my friends died in a car accident a few weeks prior to prom, maybe one week. There's this big thing that everybody was going to sign for the dead guy. And she was like, could you sign the thing for me?

And I was like, no. No, that's the whole point is that you sign it. I won't sign the thing for you. And there was a whole meltdown over that. But I was just going to stand by my principles for no fucking reason because i just felt strongly that like no the whole point of that card is for you to sign it to say that i stood here and signed this thing i send my you know prayers and thoughts and you know i'm so sorry for your loss blah blah blah if i fucking sign it what's the goddamn point right like i i know my handwriting is great coming from on both of these i'm actually not on your side on either one i i am uh strictly anti-drinking

as a 17 year old yeah like 17 year old me is a fucking idiot that's not 17 year old version of me and 16 year old version of no one of them is like 15 version of me and the other is like 16 those versions of me would have just been calculating how to get in those panties just whatever move would have gotten me in the panties more effectively is the one that i would have pursued oh didn't work out like that those were both disasters both proms spent so much fucking money on all that shit i paid for both limos paid for all that shit my junior prom went good uh i got along well i had a good time with the girl we made out or something that's it my senior prom went uh there's no room for improvement on that one did you do a limo yeah limos were it wasn't like i think where we

are now like not everyone's renting limos and stuff but where we were in ocean city not that it was rich it was just i guess everyone got limos, it was, I wouldn't have gone if we didn't have a limo. And I would have felt like that was not doing it right. That would be like not going, you know, if I didn't have some patent leather shoes or something like, well, no, I need them for my tuxedo. It would be like going in a t-shirt or something. I just wouldn't do it. I would, I would have felt unprepared without my my limo. We always got a fancy limo. The first year, we got a stretch navigator because there was that

R. Kelly song. It was like, bumping in the stretch navigator. We had stretch navigator. The next year, we got the stretch hummer. Both of those were really cool. I just remember in the hummer, the previous people who had been in it must have been really fancy because they had those like big glass um bottles that like

don't have labels or anything it's just like a big fancy bottle that you pour your booze into and there was still like that much booze in both of them and we were just like all right now we're now we're business so we get we got we got We got drinks. But I would always bring the biggest bottle of vodka I could find on those trips anyway. We didn't do that. Both went poorly. So my junior year, I was responsible for booking

the limo and I was an idiot. I got the last limo available and it was shit. It was old. I think it even might have broken down and they had to like fix it. But we were dancing and stuff. So he's like. Yeah, it didn't matter. Like he dropped us off and there was an issue.

But it was an issue that did. And then by the time he was picking us up again, you know, he managed or something. Like it didn't impact us too much. But I think it did break down that night. And the second one was just, it was a fine late model limo. But it wasn't a Hummer or Navigator or anything like that. Just a car.

So it worked out good. Worked out good. Yeah, my junior year, I've told the story. So in super fast forward, that was the one where my school had this culture. Everyone would bring in like the physical pictures afterwards and they'd look at each other's prom pictures. Mostly of us just like either being silly in the photo or looking nice in our tuxedos and my parents had exchanged pictures of us the next morning being exhausted so I had her in the morning and she had me in the morning but we didn't sleep together but everyone made the assumption we slept together

and then she made the assumption that I told everyone we slept together and it was my first experience with ever anyone being like you said I did this no I didn't and that no I didn't person not being a liar and it was me and and I think to this day she probably hates me for it

and I'm like but I'm innocent I swear to God I never said that I slept with her and I didn't. And yeah. Well, fuck her then. Yeah, right. She wants to hold a grudge like that for 87 years. At least.

Yeah. She's pretty fucked up. I can tell you off camera. I don't want to share her dirty laundry. But she's pretty fucked up. I can tell you off camera. I don't want to share her dirty laundry. Sure, sure. She's pretty fucked up. I always thought it would have been cool if I could have done something neat for prom. Like a helicopter or something like that.

You ever see Romy and Michelle's high school reunion? Where the nerd from back in the day shows up and... Oh, God. Well, that'll Oh God. Well, that'll do it. Oh yeah. I think you've mentioned this to me, uh,

before. Yeah. That's a terrible thing that would have made. Okay. Yeah. That's real bad. Maybe we should give her a bit of a pass. I don't know.

No, still not. No. Uh, but yeah. So she had issues what were you saying are you typing to me oh no no i was just michelle's uh oh yeah i was just thinking like the part of that is like the the nerd from school like started some company became

a multi-millionaire and he like lands in a chopper uh for the high school reunion i always thought that was a funny movie it's kind of a chick flick though i guess i saw it i don't remember it that well but yeah i i've only been to one high school reunion and i think it was 10 years and uh i felt like it wasn't late enough it might have been 15 years but everyone was still pretty fitish um everyone was still i don't know i Everyone was still, I don't know, I guess you could see where their careers were going, right? Because it gave you some insight into what was going on. But everyone was still just sort of working their way to the top.

I think the valedictorian is supposed to put on the thing. It's their responsibility to arrange the reunion. And ours tried to do this five-year reunion that no one came to, and that pissed her off and upset her so much that she just didn't do the 10 years, so there just wasn't one. I don't think I'd have gone anyway.

I don't think I'd have had any interest in that, but still, I saw somebody yesterday. I saw a girl that I went to high school with, and she had a couple kids with her and everything, and she looked rough. She just had big crow's feet. Who was she? A girl I went to high school with my age.

Just a girl. It wasn't a bad girl. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just big wrinkles here, and I was just like, all right then. You were not a good choice. Dodged that one. Okay. Definitely went – I don't know if it's stress or just or what, but she had not aged well.

And then like I'm there. I don't think she recognized me, but like actually the last two girls I've seen that I knew from high school had both looked really bad. One was working at a restaurant and the other was this one. And both times I had my girlfriend with me and I was just like, yeah, I did good. I'm glad I didn't pick one of those old 1986 models. I'd like to go to my high school reunion. I'm just, not that I want to be a dick about success. I really just want to see, like, how everyone turned out.

Like, you know, hey, who's this guy? Who's that guy? Facebook helps for that. You know, you can, like, Facebook stalk people here and there. But I feel like if you talk to them, you get a better vibe. Like, I don't know. There's's one guy I didn't particularly like him and now I know he's in the plumbers union and I wonder if he's like disgruntled, unhappy, whatever, like wished he wasn't a plumber or like totally living life enjoying himself

happily married plumber. Like, there's a huge difference. And, you know, Facebook doesn't tell the whole picture. Yeah. Yeah, you never know. Yeah. I don't get on Facebook. I don't do it.

I really hate Facebook. Just, it's not that I hate my interactions with Facebook. So, don't get me wrong. I hate Facebook. Like, the idea of it and the way everybody like connects and your mom's on Facebook and like all your cousins are on Facebook. And then it recommends people that like you were hoping would fade out of your life. And then they're like, oh, I guess I'm not fading away after all. And then you got to like decline their friend request.

And I get in a situation where they'll like message me, hey, you must have accidentally deleted my friend request and i get in a situation where they'll be they'll like message me hey you must have accidentally deleted my friend request and then i gotta delete the whole fucking account and be like hey nothing personal i'm just out like i hate it i hate it so i have a secret facebook account now i always have to have a secret one because every time someone adds it i just delete it again because i don't want to be friends with anybody i don't want to socialize with them i hate it i don't even here i'll look i have oh i expected to see a really big num oh there it is uh it just it just says 99 plus i don't know how many messages i haven't replied to but like all of them on my fan page i'll go on there i check those messages i reply to the ones that are that that are pertinent that you know if they're asking me something i'm you know i want to

be a part of or something. If it's not, just like, hey, what's your favorite gun? I won't reply to that. But if it's something that needs some input from me, I totally reply to those. But the personal these are like people that I kind of know like people from the paintball

event. Like, I don't know, pick one of those random people who was like, hey, hey, hey do you know me? I'm jimmy cracks corn number four you may have heard me heard of me known as jimmy and it's like nah jimmy i don't really know you those people will add me and then they've got their own groups of friends and then all their friends try to add me and so i have a secret facebook now that i don't want to be part of anymore mine appears not to be a secret at all um but yeah people people try to add me I don't I don't I'm just looking at this for the first time like I don't I don't even know these people like this is a a kindergarten teacher

your kindergarten teacher no there's a kindergarten kindergarten teacher and she looks too old to be a fan and too young to be a like old friend uh a lot of these are fans um but yeah i don't know what that it's getting on off topic but it's just random people reach out to me all the time uh i don't i don't usually look at them i'm kind of curious now. I'll go look. I just don't have the time. There's a lot of people that I just... It's not that I don't like them. I just don't want to be friends with them. It's not that I don't want to be friends with them because...

Stick with me here. It's not that I don't want to be friends with them because I'd be like, ugh, that guy again. It's just that I don't want to deal with anyone. It's like, I got the one friend. I'm good you know i got you like what more do i need why do i need all these other jokers mixing themselves in my life like like trying to trying to you know get time out of me i don't need that shit

yeah that that's in gaming i was like that too it was like look i'm sure you're wonderful i'm sure you're a great player and i'm sure that you are a delightful conversationalist. But the thing is, I have so many gaming friends right now that I'm having a hard time giving them all the attention that they want and deserve. And if I had you as a friend, while you seem worthy, I would actually be a worse friend to all these people. That was my situation with gaming all the time. I just don't want to be friends

with people. I just don't want to interact with them and talk about bullshit with them because I've done it before and I just don't like doing it again. I like meeting new people but I don't want us to like... I don't want you to be part of my life from now on. I met a guy in Texas and he's like, oh, you play Civ 2?

We gotta exchange Steam IDs. And I'm just like, ah, nah, man, let's just, let's just have this memory of me and you in Texas having our fun and that'll be the end of us forever. Maybe next time in Texas, we'll be friends again. But like, we don't need to like pretend like we've like made a deep emotional connection and play Civ like over the internet with each other, then I'm worrying about if I can attack you or not. Nah, let's not do that.

Nah. That guy at Paintball, you know the one that was sitting with us for a long time and he had a little guy with him. Just annoyed the fuck out of me. Seemed like a nice guy, but I don't want to be texting back and forth with him. I don't need that in my life. I just don't want it.

Every so often, someone will be like, they want to get on my friends list or whatever. It's funny, like you said, can't we just always have this? The memory of you introducing yourself to me at a buffet. Let's just share this as the extent of our relationship duct tape man perfect example now look i got nothing against duct tape man i don't think i want him in my life i like him i want good things for him in life i see he's buying a house and he's advancing in his job and i'm on his team go dtm but we don't need to text with each other he doesn't need to be like on some sort of a friends list where he can DM me or anything.

When I see him at an event, I'm like, yo, duct tape man, me and you, let's talk. I always give him his time. I always like hanging out with him. I know him. He's been coming to these things for years, spending his money, and I get a little bit of that money. So I appreciate his business.

I appreciate his friendship, and he's a nice guy. But we're not going to be friends for life. I just don't want to let more people into my life and give more pieces of me away well that's how I see friendship sometimes because I don't know like every time my phone goes off I'm just annoyed by I'm just like who wants what it's never like hey Kyle guess what I got for you oh motherfucker I've been wanting me one of those. That never happens.

I sent a funny picture recently. What the fuck was it? I can't remember. Did I send you? I sent it. It was an imager link. I don't remember what it was anymore, but it seemed perfect at the time for our group. Let's see here.

It was within the last two days. I don't think so. The last thing I see, I sent you that tractor video of me being attacked by the bees. The toilets were before that. I sent you those floors that had been like epoxied that were pretty beautiful. I think this is a lot more recent than than that it's just an imager link

i had to send it twice because it failed the first time but i thought it worked eventually it didn't did it i guess i guess not well i'll keep looking for it you don't remember what it was ah here it is uh let me open this it's uh the bernie sanders thing where sanders campaign reaches out to black lives matter activists and then trump trump vows to beat up black lives matters activists that's it that that was it the contrast um yeah uh trump vowed to beat up black lives matter people if they try to interrupt him i will shoot four of them up there with his gun uh that's what he needs to do he needs to really pander to the to the anti-gun to the to the gun crowd i feel like he needs to go to them specifically and be like none of these candidates want to protect your rights you got bernie sanders in second place he's

saying this about you got hillary clinton leading she's saying this about you he needs to be who going out talking about the gun stuff really getting them up in a frenzy and not attacking the his other opponents I feel like I feel like he could attack his other opponent like Jeb Bush will tell you he's pro-gun but no one likes shooting shit like I do make like an FPS Russia video I got it I got it Jeb Bush will tell you he's pro-gun but me and my buddy Dick Cheney here it's full of shit ain't that right out there gunning stuff down Trump runs no I still like your guns.

You shot my bird. Dick Cheney looks so much like the penguin, it's hysterical. He looks so much like the penguin. He just needs the monocle. He's such an evildoer. He's clearly as close as my generation will ever come to Dr. Evil. He really is that guy. He's an evildoer, yeah. They made it seem like he was the true president

while Bush was just the figurehead that could get elected. And then in the second term, I always wondered how powerful Cheney was. From what I've... So there was a guy on a radio show talking about his experiences within the White House and what he saw.

He seemed to make it seem like it was overblown that Cheney was really in control. He made it seem that Bush took Cheney's advice very seriously in the first term. That if Cheney spoke up, his voice was heard loudest of all. But in the second term, there was sort of a parting of the ways and that Bush started to rely on him less and less and started thinking that some of Cheney's ideas weren't so hot after all. But I don't know. It's hard to say.

That makes sense. Maybe Cheney was the puppet master after all. Yeah, yeah. Huh. I don't know. Hard to say. I feel like Bush ended up over his head when he got in there. I feel sorry for Bush in some ways.

I bet Bush was really just like, I don't know what to do. I don't think he went after Iraq because he thought, let's waste a trillion dollars and kill 100,000 innocent people. He was like, let's protect America. And then he had like 96% approval ratings or something. So how do you like stop yourself how do you go whoa george whoa let's pull back why would you when 90 96 of the countries behind you like nobody can say shit about you without being labeled unpatriotic

and you seem to be winning the war yeah and but he was terrible what a waste what a waste that was it up i remember before the um the iraq war gore got on cnn which was a bigger deal at the time cnn was the number one news thing not fox and um he's saying we shouldn't go to ir. The American people are being misled. Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11. They're not the same thing. They're different, totally different. There is a national mourning and enthusiasm and energy and patriotism

that I've never seen in my life. This combination. The whole country is looking to the government and saying, what should we do now right the government has an opportunity to lead that it normally doesn't and we're wasting it by going to our on iraq war and they ask gore like well what would you do he's like energy independence that's what i do you know we can we can have a conservation in the energy and we can

work on solar and hydro and all these green natural redone. Take that billion dollars and do any fucking thing you want. Take a dream project out of the air and make it real with a trillion dollars. Yeah, right. You could have educated the whole population. We could have went to Mars

and populated the fucking thing with a trillion dollars dude. A trillion dollars, yeah. You could have, or at the very least like we could all have solar energy on our roofs right now just all sitting here collecting energy doing that thing i like i like the housing one like how much housing you could have provided uh for for just you know i don't like the idea of just like free government housing to people who are below a certain level or anything but what if you just went and wiped out all the mortgage debt what if you just anybody who's paying on a home just start paying all those off just pick it pick a

pick a slice of those people who owe x amount and figure out how you're going to do the most impact you know what i mean there's no sense paying some like millionaire's mansion off but if you've got like if a if you can take a trillion dollars and pay off all the loans for $300,000 or less that are mortgage loans, do it. Do it. Now everybody's got their house paid for. Now their income's going somewhere else. Now it's not going to – Probably back into the economy, into consumer goods. Of course.

Yeah, yeah. Or education. I like that one too. I like the idea of just saying, hey, this generation's education is on Uncle Sam. We got this. Yeah. There's so many amazing things you can do with a trillion dollars. Gore's idea was clean energy and energy independence. If you've got to be average, free college. We could have done that.

Energy independence in particular is interesting because that defunds a lot of the bad guys too. Saudi Arabia is a huge sponsor of terrorism. And no one wants to admit it. No one wants to rock the boat. They're somehow both partners and enemies of the United States. No one wants to talk about the enemy part. I hate to do this thing where you say that all Muslims are terrorists or that all terrorists are Muslim or anything like that.

But on the front of the Saudi Arabia, you know what it says on the front of the Saudi Arabian flag? Like what it says in Arabic. It says there is no God but Allah. Like they seem like that's a big part of their country. Like I just don't know if you want... They're more oppressive to women than most American allies. Like we wouldn't put up with that shit in a lot of countries,

but somehow Saudi Arabia gets this, like, ah, you know, that's just their way past. Ah, King Abdullah. Ha ha, he's old school. I worked with this woman named Lauren when I was doing accounts payable and receivable at Railroad. It's a railroad construction company.

Anyway, Lauren was hard to get along with. Really hard. You could so much as say good morning to you and she'd just kind of growl back. Like I don't know if you've ever worked or known anyone like this, but it was like, she was just in bitch mode 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Meanwhile, like if I'm ever down for a bit, they're like, what's wrong, Woody, huh? You're like, you know, why aren't you telling jokes or being cheery or like, you know, making this whole office a brighter place to live? And it's like, fuck, next job, I'm going to be Lauren on day one. I'm just going to be that asshole where everyone says that's just Woody's way. You know, hey, good morning, Woody. Right. Do that. and then they'll just, like, give you a pass for it. That's what Saudi Arabia has. They've got the Lauren pass somehow.

They just, like, yeah, women get oppressed and beaten, and there's, like, self-made police that determine whether or not your hair is showing or something, and they just fuck with you. Not only do they have that, like, modesty to police that you're describing, they've got a government agency that seeks out and punishes witchcraft and wizardry. Okay? They've got an anti-Harry

Potter league going on that's financed by the government. It's a scary place. Women can't drive. I think the women are about to get the right to vote right now. That's a thing happening as we speak. They're going through they're going through suffrage over there they're a little behind us that's crazy not that not that we're

leading the in in too many things 20th i think in on the freedom index uh the new numbers canada's number six uh number one was fuck who was number one who was super free i don't know i'd like to i have my own version of the freedom index like americans think they're very free and there's a lot of free stuff hong kong there's a lot of rights here hong kong huh um like you speech is one where we usually don't budge very much you can get away with saying a lot a lot about your about people about celebrities about government etc legally you can but it's it seems like a lot right the dixie chicks might argue it's not that free but uh um i don't my album in a straight like everybody else in in speech i feel like we have a lot of freedom but a

lot of other stuff like there's a lot of regulations here there's a reason why we fare pretty well every earthquake you know they specifically pointed out um private property rights and uh and financial rights but they didn't really get any more in depth than that they said that those are the reason i think we slipped in the index. I think that was the thing. Yeah, like civil forfeiture. I think I pronounced that right. It's a big deal where like a police department can just kind of declare that all this shit was somehow used in your pot consumption. And now you've lost your money and your car and your whatever. And the police department personally.

Dude, when you have like policemen deciding whether or not they want your shit that's a terrible system and it looks like it's getting some flashlight shine on it and improving but just saying that's terrible system um you know you have to go to a third world country and see that variety of freedom the whole like yeah like all this is government land you can do whatever the fuck you want over there. You need a tree, you wanna go ride your dirt bike, you wanna go make it an adventure sport, you wanna do whatever.

Here, you need a permit to walk on the Jamir Trail, which is this trail that goes to the Yosemite Mountains. And there's not very many of these permits handed out, so you have to wake up at 4 a.m. and be the first, the place opens at seven, but got to get up in line at like 4 in the snow buying tickets and stuff like getting a fucking ipod jesus yes yeah every day and uh and that's like the and and this is just for permission to walk in the woods that to me like i don't know you just have to you have to go see what no rules looks like before you're like ah you know what like yeah we're good on freedom of speech well i'll give

you that but there's other shit we're not so free have you seen uh the john oliver special about televangelists yes okay so i think we should save that for pka because we need taylor there for for the anti-religion talk. But you should also, for an additional reading, if you will, you should watch The Honest Liar on Netflix. And it's all about this guy who, he was a magician called The Amazing Randy, and he loves magic, but he always... I know him, old ball guy.

So he debunks the people who, scam artists, psychics, anyone who's out there using trickery like magic, sleight of hand, to make people believe they have powers and thereby defrauding them, taking their money, having them. He also goes after televangelists. There was a really famous case where he exposed one for having an earpiece in his ear, and he recorded it. It's so funny.

So this guy's thing was he's got this huge megachurch, and he'd be. It's so funny. So this guy's thing was, he's got this huge mega church and he'd be like, Jimmy Stewart, Jimmy Stewart, where are you, Jimmy? And Jimmy would stand up. Like out of nowhere, he'd say this and he doesn't know these people. It's a huge crowd of strangers. You live on 17 Bridge Street, don't you? Come down here, Jimmy. You've got a lump in your chest. God's going to burn that lump right out. Like he'd pulled this number and everybody's getting fired up and of course Jimmy he's dancing you know this guy would literally break people's canes over his knee after he blesses them and stuff meanwhile the guy in this documentary this is one of the things he did like the the document is very good

he he called in an expert and the guy had this receiver where he could like change the frequency and he picks up the frequency and recorded and you hear it all of a sudden out of nowhere you hear jimmy i can't remember his name was jimmy jimmy are you there can you hear me you better be able to are you in big trouble and it's his wife his wife's there and she's just reading him information she's like jimmy stewart 17 bridge street he's got lumps in his chest and and he's getting them one after another and just and then they pass the buckets around for the money and he's telling them you know whatever you put in there's coming back to you tenfold and people are throwing tens and twenties and just just huge amounts of money in there uh but john oliver was saying that stuff

too right like the bigger the seed the bigger the plant you know you got to do that then and they'd catch people so we did something called um engagement encounter have you ever heard of this you told me all about it yeah okay so there was a lot of aspects of engagement encounter that were really positive like you know working through even though i felt like we were on the same page and a lot of stuff we did like like you should talk about whether you want to have kids or not. What? You think we didn't fucking talk about that? Like we're on the same page with like all the big topics and stuff, but there was some stuff we got out of it.

And then other stuff that I really hated, like there was this big circle jerk in it about how God will take care of your finances. Right. And they're like, yeah, if you give 10% of this and, and then there were people like,

yeah, sure. I remember one time, um, they were so broke a window someone like threw a ball through the window and they didn't have any money to fix it and then sure enough like like they just got like they overpaid for something or got a refund on something and it was almost this it was a similar amount to the window damage repair and they're, that just proves that God provides. And it's like, no, it fucking doesn't. That's not conclusion.

It shows that you were hypersensitive to getting $120. And when it happened, you went, hallelujah. Yeah. It shows that you're so desperate for evidence that God's giving you money that you'll take every financial transaction in your way as God handing you cash. And Stern was playing, I think it was Falwell, Jerry Falwell, whatever that guy is. He's an old guy. And he was, and someone asked him like, why, like we, you heard the interviewer ask the question and she sounded like she was fucking with him to be honest. She was like,

now I see you praying for the deaf to hear and the blind to see, for the lame to walk and the cancer to heal itself. Why do you never pray for limbs to be regrown or something like that? Something we could see happen. And he's like, oh, well, there was the case in Ghana where the man spontaneously re-grew an arm. And there was the case in blah, blah, blah, where the man re-grew an arm. And there was a case in blah, blah, blah where the man re-grew an eyeball. And he's just like going on with this

bullshit. And she's just like, uh-huh. Uh-huh. Stern plays the clips of him all the time. Him telling these people to not go to doctors and to come to church and pray on it and all this bullshit. And in that documentary I'm talking documentary, the guy literally is like,

he's like, there's people out there. I hope I'm not getting the two confused between Colbert or the other thing and this. But he was telling them the alternative is he was describing chemo. He's like, do you really want to go do that chemo? You're throwing up? You're sick? No, why don't you come here and pray with us? And it was just like, oh, no, don't tell people that.

No, you need that chemo. that chemo is what you need like john oliver found a little quote of them being anti-chemo too it was it a woman i don't remember no uh yeah i don't remember it's a woman in mind for sure okay because i watched them like back to back it it's it should be criminal but what it should be is a painkiller already tax break you want to found our own religion i'm totally down we could totally do it um we already meet every saturday morning every every time yeah if you want to form a religion i think that'd be hilarious uh i want to be i want to be ord though, so that I can legally perform marriages. That's got to be part of it. I want to be, I don't know, Minister Kyle

or something like that. I think that'd be hilarious. We should look into that. I have to think about my title. I don't think I like minister. Priest? Grand Poobah? I don't know. We need to think outside the box. Make you the pope of our religion. Fuck that other pope. You think that pope is cool. We need to think outside the box. Make you the pope of our religion. Fuck that other pope.

You think that pope is cool? We need to get ready. This has got to be a thing. I like it. We can get you the hat, too. Yeah. Move over, Chiz. The pope is in town.

This big, crazy pope hat. We'll have to rearrange the camera, right? The Pope is in town. This big, crazy Pope hat. Yeah. We'll have to rearrange the camera, right? Yeah. Show all this head. I move the other hand. That'd be funny to form our own religion. Scott was talking about doing that one time.

My cousin, because he had a bunch of girlfriends at the time, like four, I think. He was like, yeah, I'm going to call the Church of Scott. Stop paying taxes. Start fucking bitches. He's like, I'm going to make each one of them tattoo my name on her titty. I already got one that's down. I was like, holy shit. We're coming on two hours now, but I want to know, how's Scott doing?

He's doing good. He took, I think he took six weeks off. He's restoring a tractor right now. Really? Do you know what kind of tractor? It's that John Deere I sent you the pictures of. He's got it completely disassembled right now. I mean, completely.

It's the engine sitting on the frame and the tires. And the wheels are in multiple sections the way they work. There's a guy in New Jersey. He's a YouTuber called One Lonely Farmer or something like that, but it's misspelled. And he does that a lot. It seems like whenever there's a motor transmission problem, the first thing you have to do is split the tractor in half. So anyway, I feel like I've

watched on YouTube what he's doing now four times now. He has a bunch of tractors. He's always working on something. I think this is the second one Scott's restored for the same... It looks really complicated. There's a lot of parts.

You crack open that gearbox, and I'm just like. There's no gearbox cracking. He's painting. Okay. Yeah. That's a neat thing to do. I was thinking about doing that, too. We'll see.

Maybe restoring becomes a hobby i don't know the paint and body thing is hard i can't do what scott can do and scott's been practicing for years um there might be lower standards for tractor it'll look like shit if you do a bad job like in a way that's like noticeable to your wife or your children yeah it's that like i feel like with cars they look at the reflection to see whether or not it's like cloudy or pure gloss and there's like six or twelve coats of clear and like it needs to be perfect with tractors it just needs to be like taped properly and you'd be surprised how hard it is not to make the paint run like not to not to just just to get it to lay on slick uh and look like like with a pan of spray

paint you're like yeah i'll just oh yeah i'll do that i can i can spray paint without making anything run but that gun i mean there's it's not just all the way on or all the way off there's pressure involved and you know there's the distance between the gun and the car. And then you can... The gun's completely adjustable. I've done it with furniture. Not with paint as much, but with varnish and stuff. Clear coat is drying as you're shooting it.

That's what I meant to say. But I haven't done it with cars. I've just... There's people around here that do tractors inexpensively. They paint tractors. And I think that automotive guys, I could be off, but I think automotive guys are a higher level of expert, especially the hot rod guys.

Yeah, I'm sure so. Yeah, I'd be super curious. I'd love to see some pictures of what Scott finishes with. That'd be neat to me. I will. Yeah, I'll take pictures when it's done. He's probably about halfway done now. He's got it completely taken apart and painted. And now it looks like he's got to do like the finishing work and then put it back together. It just sounds

like Scott hit on something with this welding thing. Was he a good welder before he learned to weld? A dumb question, but like, he recently got his certification like a year, a year and a half ago. Well, he already had one. He had to go get like more. He got a two-year technical degree and he learned to weld. And he was a good welder then and they had promised him all these jobs straight out of school, but there were none. And then he worked with me for maybe two years or something like that. And now he since went back to school. I don't know how long he went back, you know, at least a year.

back to school. I don't know how long he went back. At least a year. And he learned some much more advanced welding techniques and the stuff that's required at these nuclear plants, I guess, and applied himself to that. And now it seems like he's just got good jobs whenever he wants and as much time off as he wants.

This appears like there's a way higher barrier to entry than I thought. Yeah, he's very good at what he does. Jeremy wants to do that, but Jeremy can't do that. Scott's a very good welder. When he's done, it looks like... You ever see those pictures on Reddit of the beautiful weld?

Scott does that. I send those pictures to Scott, and he's like, look at mine, and he's got the same shit. When he's operating the stick, he tigs. So you've got the one torch-like implement and the other thing is your wire. It's called a rod and the other is whatever. But he's doing all kinds of crazy stuff over there. It's like sewing.

When he's done, those welds look beautiful. They look like snake scales. I can do stick and I can do MIG. I've never even tried TIG. You can do it with gas too. They used to do this joke at school with TIG where they would ground the seat and electrocute you. And so I never did it.

I didn't want to get shocked. It was a regular thing. Whenever I did it, whenever I walked by somebody who was TIGing, I'd take the clamp off the workpiece and stick it on their regular thing. Whenever I did it, like whenever I walked by somebody who was tagging, I'd take the clamp off the workpiece and stick it on their fucking chair and it would short them out and shock them. It wouldn't kill you or anything,

but it'd shock the fuck out of you. So you made yourself not vulnerable in that. Yeah, I was like, well, I can never do this. I don't want that shit. Yeah, I'd like to learn to tag. When I was doing my off-roading stuff, I could mig weld and it would be strong and the same mistake, but the TIG guys, you know, it was just beautiful, right? It was you can take two aluminum cans together. You know, you've got you can do a lot of cool stuff

I've seen people like the transmission fell out from under the car and like rolled down the highway and shattered in the process and This guy put it back together like a highway and shattered in the process and this guy put it back together like a puzzle and tigged it all together and it was incredible it looked like a jigsaw puzzle like because the the thing had broken in so many pieces but they just put it fucking back together that's neat i've got a i've got a tig welder i got one machine that was like three four grand something like that and it does like it's like a plasma cutter tig stick and mig it'll do everything and i don't know i got some special wire feeding stuff for it but i never used that stuff it's i think right now the dog chewed the lead off the end of the hose so i need a new lead but yeah i've got the machine but i can't do it i have a good

mig welder i want to say it costs like a grandish and, uh, it's ESOB, which is not Miller, but it, whatever it did. Mine's green, green. Yeah. It's, uh, it's, uh, I remember like, it's not, um, it's, it's a known brand, but it wasn't the easier one. Like, like Scott was like, God damn it. Why'd you get this one? Cause mine's got so many digital, it's got a huge digital display and lots of knobs. I mean, a dozen knobs at least. And Scott found it confusing? Scott found it... Well,

two years ago he did. Now he might just hop on there and go to town. Right. But he's got his own shit now, so like... Yeah. He's probably better with his stuff than he is with mine. Well, it's probably a show. Two hours, huh? Yeah. 158. So, very very good that was pkn 53 um yeah i hope you guys enjoyed it
