Painkiller Already - PKN #57

Episode Date: September 25, 2015

This week's PKN...is a thing!

Welcome to Painkiller Nearly, episode 57. 57. So here we go. Alright. Ready to rock and roll, Taylor? I'm here! Ready to go! Yeah!

Alright. Oh, you know what? As a change of pace, let's not forget the joke this time. I always remember the joke, and I never bother to remind you because I hate it so, so much. If you're new to Painkiller Nearly Nearly then the deal is I tell a bad joke at the start of it every time I remember. And my promise to you is that the joke will never be good. Are you ready?

Yes. A guy keeps calling off for work on Mondays. So a guy gets a new job on Thursday and Friday. On Monday he calls in and says, I can't come in today. I'm sick. He works the rest of the week but the following Monday he calls in and says, I can't come in today. I'm sick. He works the rest of the week, but the following Monday he calls in and says, I can't come in today. I'm sick. The boss asked the foreman about

him and the foreman says, he's great. He does the work of two men. We need this guy. So the boss calls into his office and says, you seem to have a problem getting to work on Mondays. You're a good worker and I'd hate to fire you. So what's the problem? Is there anything we can do to help? Is it drugs? Alcohol? He says, no, I don't drink and I don't do drugs. My brother-in-law drinks every weekend and then he beats on my sister. So every Monday morning, I go over to make sure he's all right. And she puts her head on my shoulder and cries. And one thing leads to another. The next thing you know, I'm fucking her. Boss says, you're fucking your sister? He says, hey, I told you I was sick.

A horror. What a terrible joke. Not even well structured. It's a poorly written joke even. I liked it. I stressed the I'm sick because i knew the punch line i i i thought that's where we might be going yeah so we were talking before the show um about possible things to talk about in the show and

what people might be interested in but what i'm interested in is what's going on with woody's gamer chizzer tag or whatever we're calling him. Chizzer's gamer tag, I guess, right? Dr. Gamer Tag, whatever we're calling him now. Dr. Chiz over there has moved into Woody's estate compound, the manor, if you will. And I know he's there on the property. So how's he fitting in? How's that going so far?

How's he interacting with the family? What things are different for him? What things are going well for him? What things aren't going well for him? How's Chiz doing? So Chiz is doing great in terms of getting along with the family. It is possible that he is still on his company manners, uh, because it's so great really. Like he comes in and he's funny um i argue with hope all the time it just seems like that's our normal way of communicating with each other it's usually about i could tell from what small interactions that i get with her i could tell she i could see that happening a lot she seems very opinionated and you know she's she's a child still so but those two mixed together could could equal some arguments so my arguments

with ho they're typically about like feminism or women making 30 cents or 70 cents on the dollar for men and stuff like that like like she gets some stat from tumblr about how terrible the world is and and i give some justification on how it is like this you know and sometimes the world is bad it's unfair and stuff and other times it's like you know what like someone's made a mountain out of a molehill and and such you know like everybody is beautiful that's a new movement that's happening no no i don't say everybody's tall i don't say everybody's smart i don't say everybody's athletic why is everybody beautiful you know what some people are and some people aren't. And if you're not, brush up on your personality because you're in a hole. That's just the way shit is. And she's like, no, everyone...

Bullshit. So anyway, Chiz argues with Hope too. But when I do it, it's like a low-grade conflict. Conflict sounds like it's a real bad thing, but she's... The tensions aren't high. You're kind of still at like a, you know, you're not getting angered at all. You're just kind of like, you might get a little bit like roll-your-eyes moment, but you're not getting mad. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, or, you know, if DEFCON 5 is the ultimate,

you know, we rarely get past DEFCcon 3 on this thing, you know? I feel you. Like, it's not always fun, but it's... So, is she winding Chiz up, or is Chiz winding her up? Neither. When Chiz argues with her, it's funny. There's laughs everywhere. I don't know.

Sometimes he'll go over the top and say things that are like... Somehow we were arguing race or something like that this is a week or two ago and uh he's like what he said was terrible and a lot of people won't get this joke so forgive me chiz if this gets out but we were just like i think that the whole thing was whether it was, whether the reason that black people are not thriving in the United States in the same way that some others are, and that's just true if you look at like graduation rates

and income and life expectancy and stuff, then for whatever reason things aren't going well. She would argue that they're being held down by somebody, and I would argue that part of the issue, at least part of the issue, is that there are some black people who hold each other down. You know, like there was a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air episode about, you know, how you're not acting black enough or something. And they like punishment for success. And whatever it led to Chiz being like, you know, we were putting wood in the fire.

He's like, do it like a white person, successfully. And it's a terrible, awful line, and he's goofing, but it was so over the top, everyone's laughing about it. He's funny when he pokes at Hope, whereas I'm Def Con too. Not flaming, but little withdrawals from the emotional bank account that I wish I wasn't making. His are practically deposits when he debates with Hope.

I don't think I told a story very well, but it was a hilarious thing. And so, but we may be getting his company manners. We'll see, you know, whether two months from now, everything he says is still so funny and perfect. It's interesting that you bring up company manners because I don't think I've ever heard that term, but I totally immediately knew what you're talking about. My company manners are great. I feel like whenever I would start a new job or anything like that, you've got those company manners when you first start something or you're new at something.

And if you could just stay at that version of you that's the best you that's you watching your own ass 24 7 you always thinking ahead like don't fuck this up you're making an impression here like like you want to start off on a good track like like don't fuck this up if you could always work that attitude we'd all be so much wouldn't that be great chris rock used to be like you know six months in you're not even dating each other. You're dating her representative. You know, that was his line. And so right now we may just be seeing Chiz's representative, who is fantastic. So I'm working him quite a bit.

I looked at him. I think it was today, actually. I just sort of observed him. And I was like, I think he was today actually I just sort of observed him and I was like I think he's smaller like I think that you know like I don't he was over 300 uh I don't know if you'd want me to give his weight out but he was over said it oh did he that's that's the number yeah yeah um he was 315 I don't know if that was before the survival trip or right after or where that was. So when someone's 315 and they lose 10 pounds, it doesn't jump at you the same way as a guy who's like 180 and loses 10 pounds.

But I looked at him just recently. I don't know if his clothes were fitting better or what, but I was like, huh, I think he's smaller. Like, I think this is working. He's not smoking. I've been doing my best to gain back every fucking ounce I lost on that trip. You get some, Kyle. I've eaten five, guys, five consecutive days in a row at one point. I'm really just eating just everything in front of me right now. I haven't been enjoying it.

I wish I starved more weeks. I feel like if you did that one week out of the month, you'd just starve the fuck out of yourself. Then the other three weeks, you can just pig out. Pints of ice cream, whole large pizzas. I may have stumbled onto something here. I have a hard time accurately weighing myself because it's become a pretty frequent thing for me to go outside and sweat a lot.

So before the trip, I said I was 201 or something like that, 200, 201. I've seen both numbers. And then after the trip, I saw 197 on your scale, but when I got home, I saw 200 again. And it's like, well, Woody, don't forget the 201 you saw was after like working four hours on the yard or something and you might have sweat out three pounds and i also i think i might be putting on some muscle and that complicates weight loss which not in a bad way it makes you know obviously if i kept my weight and replaced all fat with muscle i'd be okay with that oh yeah yeah you'd be a hawk yeah um but i think that in terms of just watching the scale exclusively as a measure like some of my clothes are fitting better sometimes i feel better and sometimes i

don't you know i wore a shirt yesterday and i was like eh you know what fuck this shirt it doesn't lay right i've definitely got like i got like at least four sizes of shirts and you know they're they're medium and large but they're the different versions of medium and large so like some of these large shirts if i wore were to put one on now it would like it would be like draping over me like way too long even like it's going down toward my crotch that's a fat shirt that's for me when i'm at like 190 pounds or something but then i've got some really like like slim fit medium shirts that i can only wear those if i'm like 170 pounds flat like there's that's the only way i can wear them so i've got all manner and in between i've got jeans that range from like a 28 waist to a 36 waist and uh i don't

know how to describe my shirts like i have some that are tight but they're v-neck and they fit pretty they just lay right they're tight in the right spots and and i've got one shirts i did a day in the life and one another day and it was like total bitch tits the whole day and i'm like well that was not a good shirt to wear but it said g fuel on it so um anyway i uh i i think that i'm getting fitter today we work super hard i'm like sunburnt from all the time outside. Yeah, you're a little bit browner, I feel like. Chiz pulled up his shirt sleeve. Oh, I bet.

I've seen sun before, so mine's kind of a faded farmer's tan. This is today. Mine's kind of the same. I feel like Chiz is so pale, you should really be taking advantage of it and putting like Woody Craft stickers on him and peeling them off at the end of the same. I feel like Chiz is so pale, you should really be taking advantage of it and putting, like, Woody Craft stickers on him and peeling them off at the end of the day so he's got logos all over him. It's getting to be a little late now because I'm sunning him up. But, like, you saw that.

I don't know if you could tell. Like, all that work was today. All those headers in the front, 26 rafters across the top. Or I forget what that is. I get my construction terms mixed up. I don't think they're rafters across the top. Or I forget what that is. I get my construction terms mixed up. I don't think they're rafters. Trusses? They might be trusses that are right up against the sheathing.

And rafters are the horizontal ones that support the trusses with some sort of angle. But anyway, we got our 26 trusses and five headers today. And then we built two scaffolding structures so that we can work better and just really churning out the work. Today was a good day. The weather was beautiful. I find doing that work, whenever there's something high up like that where you're deconstructing and you're taking it apart from the top down, I would always get in the tractor bucket with a sledgehammer and maybe a couple other little tools that you might need and my dad would put me up there where I could really work on it and you can really tear some stuff apart then

so yeah for for the second floor for about two-thirds of it you could stand on the second floor and knock it out which was a really ideal place and then um for the last like corners i had to climb in the rafters and do what we call my monkey man routine. Like I, I am, I swing from the, when I do construction work, I'm like, I'm like standing on a ladder and then I grabbed the rafters, hook the ladder with my feet, go hand over hand and place the ladder down a few feet over.

And I don't know if everyone does that, but it's just real common for me to like swing from the rafters and move ladders around. And, um, or if the ladders are far apart, like five or six feet apart, I'm just like, and um or if the ladders are far apart like five or six feet apart i'm just like and then go to the other ladder yeah um it's uh it's how i work

so but yeah the the stable's coming along i'm actually kind of today in particular uh there were some days where like okay before chis got here i spent months on it and you can hardly tell what's done like the lack of vines overgrowing the whole area isn't something that you can see is progress like unless you saw what it looked like before you would just think there weren't vines there the amount of demo and stuff we tore down it doesn't really look like progress because it's the absence of something but now we're getting into the presence of something and it's it's exciting so yeah it is looking forward to that thing I'm looking forward to the presence of something and it's it's exciting so that's cool yeah it is i'm looking

forward to that thing uh i'm looking forward to the videos of you guys working and stuff like that i got a letter from a guy today who lives in raleigh who wants to help and he's awesome like you know what i could run and get the letter i think i should it's interesting to me all right so i won't be more than like 30 seconds. Hold on. Yeah. Found out I'm going to be in a video game today. Woody's not going to know about this. Can't really say what the game is.

It's not Call of Duty or any like... It's not like a... You know, one of those games that sells 20 million copies or anything. But, uh... Shh. You told a secret? Yeah. So, on the front of it, he has a bunch

of things that I have said. To live an extraordinary life, you have to do extraordinary things. Woody's Gamer Tag. Make it fucking happen. Woody's Gamer Tag. I am the hero of my own life story. Thank you. So then he writes.

And let me just scan because I don't want to give any. Yeah, I think I can do this without. Woody, I've been following your day in the life video series as well as PKA and I'm very interested in your workshop project. A few years ago, my father and I built an automotive shop in our backyard for our automotive

restoration project. This shop in combination of your videos has had a profound effect on my life story. So check this out. When we built our shop I was not in a good place in life. I was lazy, lonely, depressed, teenage gamer. I was going nowhere and I was fine with that. My father literally drug me out of my bed by my feet and forced me to work on the shop. Please do this to Chiz. But just grab the visual there. His father drug him out of the bed with his feet and said, made him work on the shop. I had no job, no money, no friends, no passion, no desire to succeed in school. I cheated on my schoolwork every time

the opportunity presented itself, and this happened a lot because I was homeschooled at the time. When I turned 16, I was pressured to find a job and buy my first car. Like most non-trivial tasks, this was too much effort for 16-year-old me. I turned to YouTube, where I've been watching your videos since Bash was a regular guest on PKA. In my perpetual search for more distraction, I stumbled across your suicide story, a few non-sex-based male Monday questions, and the hero of your own life story video. By the time I turned 17, I had a great job.

I was racing a Mazda Miata race car that I built all by myself, and I was killing it in school without checking the answer key when my parents weren't looking. This trend of success has carried on. I'm 19 in my second year of college. I'm double majoring in electrical and computer engineering with a 4.0 GPA. Holy fuck. Let me read that again. I'm double majoring in electrical and computer

engineering with a 4.0 GPA. I'm still working for the same company where I'm now an IT guy. Over the last year, my brother and I started a race team, built a car, attracted sponsors, and kicked ass in a 24-hour endurance race. I'm living an extraordinary life because your videos woke up the part of me that does extraordinary things. I would like to show my appreciation somehow. I have experience with almost everything you and Chiz are about to do for this shop car project over the next year. I have built a shop, two Corvettes, two Camaros, three race cars, and countless other things. I can send you build logs for the shops and most of our seven projects and race cars.

When it comes to automotive restoration and maintenance, I know what I'm doing, and it would be my pleasure to help. Included in this letter are the specs of our lift and schematic of our shop. Notice the four reinforced points, etc. And then he says that he doesn't like my four-post automotive lift plan. He thinks a two-post lift would be better, but that takes a while. Let's see. I don't know. He'd like to stop by and consult and et cetera.

So he lives in Raleigh. This is his shop, by the way. Now I think people who know him, I might be giving this away. But this guy has completely like Changed who he was yeah, it's really cool He gives me way too much credit like I I think his father who drug him out there and spent hours and hours and hours With him taking him out of bed building a shop next to him I'm sure that on the first car project he did with his dad

He was worse than worthless that his father would have been better off without his son's help. That's what happens when someone's on their first project, right? But now he's probably an all-star who barely needs his dad. That's also what happens when someone keeps doing this sort of thing.

And his father deserves the ton of credit that it takes for like recognizing a teenage boy who needed help and attention but um he gives it to me for some reason i don't deserve it but uh it's pretty cool and this guy is like i don't know little me putting together a a shop and a race car and uh he's going into computer science he's he's young Woody. I wonder if he's a slut like I was. Whenever I mention young Woody, I mention how sinful his mind was. His race car looks pretty cool. Let me look at this.

Yeah, I think this is a Miata up there. Yeah, the idea of a 24-hour endurance race sounds fun. Yeah, right? Doesn't that sound cool? Pretty intense. He put this in his shop spec. I'm guessing you got two drivers. Yeah, he said he and his brother did it.

He also sent me his actual resume, which I won't share with the camera. Oh, wow. We'll save whatever yeah you should privacy um employ that guy he's good at stuff right when i read it in my head i thought he was wanting to come by and work on the shop for a day now i realize he's just willing to come by and consult like he's not offering that much manpower he's like yeah you want me to wait you wire some boxes up or something. He's good.

I'm sure he'll do some stuff. Maybe. I look forward to electrical work. But yeah, the stable thing's going really well. Chiz has very limited carpentry skills. And I don't think he would hurt his feelings to say this. But what he does have is a pretty good attitude. One thing that um when i work with my wife jackie people know that um it's like i'm trying to think like let's you're dragging somebody along that doesn't want to go

and they are so excited when they come upon a problem that they that they that might act as an excuse for the end of the journey that oh look at this ah see this i can't do this thing let's say it's a thing that she does want let's say like we want to get the hedges removed from the front yard or something like that right this is something that she wants i'll be like struggling with a thing and she'll just sit there watching unless I instruct her on what to do. If hypothetically we had like 30 two by fours to carry and I'm grabbing two by fours and bringing them from the trailer to the stable. This is hypothetical. She would just watch me carry all 30 unless I say, can you help me? That doesn't bother me.

I didn't know you wanted help really i'll be i'll be honest like maybe this is gonna sound sexist but it's rare that i have encountered a woman who i would want to assist me in something like carrying a two by four like i feel like best case scenario she's gonna get in the way and worst case scenario she's gonna hit me with that board like like like i i i don't like working with people who don't know what they're doing like like it and not not that not that i'm some expert or anything but if they're i don't know it's anytime i feel like they might be a danger to me i don't i don't want any part of it i mean sometimes people can be worse than worthless

yeah yeah worse than worthless they're if you don't know what you're doing and you're operating like a skill saw or uh what do you call it? What is it the rest of the world call it? A circular saw maybe. A circular saw. Yeah. If you don't know what you're doing with a circular saw, like you'll fuck shit up. You'll ruin yourself. You'll kill yourself right there. Lose all these fingers or something. Like that thing's got all kinds of adjustments. It's not... So far Chiz hasn't touched a power tool and I like i have this own conflict in my heart like one i

don't want him to make a mistake i want him to get hurt that's very clear but i also feel like i'm am i taking all the fun like sometimes it's nice to do things i i think i should go on a nail gun is what he needs to be operating yeah there's there's only one of those that's the challenge like do you have a big one i really like my nail gun i i love it when when i i mine who makes yours it's orange ryobi i guess who makes the orange stuff could be mine's like a more of a yellow orange it's bosch tech let's see let me see ryobi makes orange that's for sure is yours air powered or uh mine is air powered yeah mine too i looked at the cordless ones like but it's got like a big lithium battery pack that goes in it too oh that's i don't think it's air well i mean it doesn't have

a it doesn't hook up to a compressor right it's usually one of these things i'm i'm struggling so the like trying to find a picture palisade makes a cordless one and it's nice because it's cordless right you don't have a hose to drag around and manage and stuff but every nail takes it like winds up like like that and uh but with mine it's like like i could do four in the time that they could do one yeah i can hold you hold back the safety and you can just punch forever oh here's yeah it's a uh it's a rigid i think it's a rigid actually that's what yeah um so i don't have a rigid i don't know if it's good or not but But I have a Bosch tech. And I freaking like, dude. So I bought a big heavy framing hammer.

But I'm not like an experienced. Like I'm not in hammer shape for lack of a better term. So after like 10 nails. And these are three and a half inch like galvanized hard to drive nails. And I'm never hitting down into like sheathing or something. It's always above my head in some crappy place. And after 10 or 12 of those, I'm worn out. I want to use two hands like a kid.

It's awful. But the framing gun, God. We hung 26. What the hell is it? It's not a rafter. You said it earlier. Trusses. A truss. Yeah, we hung 26 trusses, I guess. A truss might be the whole assembly. I'm not sure. But the part that goes right up against the sheathing. And I could have never done that

with a manual hammer and nail. It's just so many nails. We put four on every side. It was a lot. nails we put four on every side uh it was a lot so i love my nail gun i have a a 60 gallon compressor and we run like 250 lines of hose from the other building over and it really gets it done god it's heavy but i'm really thankful that i got a good framing nailer but yeah the the thing is if you put it in the wrong spot like fixing it is a giant pain in the butt and uh i don't know it's like typically chis will like bring the lumber and i do the measuring and nailing and that's what we did today and what i was trying to say with my like i got off track ch today, for example, the part of the stable, it's like framed off into a little like where each horse would go. So he would just count the number of trusses that need to go there.

And he's like, all right, this one needs five. This one needs six. This one needs whatever. And then he would deliver them to the proper locations without me like telling him everything to do. And that's what I love. I love that, you know, like if i'm lifting something heavy he's like oh he needs a hand with that and he helps me lift that thing whereas uh a less awesome person you would like have to ask for help on

everything a less useful person a less useful person yeah it seems more polite i said less awesome i don't think that's terrible i think i called him awesome i was thought we're i thought we're talking about your wife being the less awesome person might have been yeah so i was trying to say i was trying to say we should refer to your wife as less useful you think less useful is nicer than less awesome yeah when we're describing an outdoors construction environment. She's less useful on a construction site. All right, I see where you're coming from.

Yeah, whereas if I describe her as less awesome, but I was saying less awesome on a construction site, but I guess, I don't know, it's more holistic judgment. She can be awesome on the construction site without being very useful. I guess so. Yeah, oh, I'm looking at that. I'll just do a quick uh big screen even though the other things will be messed up the the hammer that that you linked is is very much in the same class

as what i have except mine's made by somebody else yeah i've never had any issues it um you know it hits big nails really hard all the way through two boards and that's what I want. Yeah. All day, all night. Uh, I wear out the nailer does not that's. And what else do you want? You know, it just, it just goes, I've also dropped mine and it's fine. So again, yeah, mine's, mine's done a lot of stuff. Actually. We, we went, we did a few projects where, you know, we went through a couple thousand nails i think so yeah you're ahead of me but um i mean i went through like almost 200 nails today yeah that's a lot that's a it's a real project you've got going on over there i'm looking forward to seeing it once uh you know once you start making the videos of of the stuff you guys are doing and all that stuff, that's going to be fun. Maybe tomorrow we'll film another one.

I'm going to do a G Fuel integration into my current one. I feel like you should strap a GoPro on and just wear it all day. That'd be a rough edit, wouldn't it? That would be funny, though, like an maybe like up Yeah, just go through and do that thing where you cut out like a Second and a half every three minutes all day and just make a video out of that I think we should put a camera that the net you know what maybe this would be a thing we do tomorrow Put a camera on a tripod and just time-lapse the rafters going up and Like that yeah, I like time last stuff. be fun yeah do that and do that that way that

would be cool i've been eating so much goddamn five guys are you familiar with five guys have you had it once years ago i wasn't you weren't i didn't get why it was special so and maybe i would now but you should try it so like i know you're you're trying to like go the opposite direction right now and eat healthier but like so they don't use they don't freeze anything there's no preservatives or any bullshit whatsoever they get the fries in they cut them and then fry them that day they're never frozen uh the meat is you know they get the meat in and then they cook the meat like there's no in between shit like as soon as you order it then they get the the beef out and they make it it's just delicious it's so fucking good it's the best hamburger and fries in the world uh it's like eight dollars or something but i feel like it's just delicious it's so fucking good it's the best hamburger and fries in the world uh it's

like eight dollars or something but i feel like it's worth it and they give you so many fries if i go i should go with you i kyle i'm asking you now formally to be my five guys tour guide i took cheers and he loved his yeah i feel like i would go there and be like um i guess grilled chicken like no what no no you're doing it wrong. I got a story about that. So, like, my girlfriend's a pseudo-vegetarian, or at least she was when I first met her. And so, like, one of her things was, like, all right, no beef. Like, that's an easy one. Like, no red meat.

And I was like, oh, okay. And after a while, I was like, well, look, I'm going into this five guys place. Like, I want one of these hamburgers. You should get one, too. I know you don't eat red meat, but, like, well, look, I'm going into this five guys place. I want one of these hamburgers. You should get one too. I know you don't eat red meat, but this is a different class of hamburger. She's like, no. She's like, what else do they have? And we're looking on the menu, and they only have three things or four things maybe. They have hamburgers and the different variations of hamburger, cheeseburger, bacon cheeseburger, all that.

But then they have hamburgers, hot dogs, grilled cheese, and a veggie sandwich. And she's like, I guess I cheese and a veggie sandwich and she's like i guess i'll get the veggie sandwich and i'm like are you fucking crazy it's it's two buns with like the ingredients that they would normally put on a hamburger but without the hamburger i was like that's disgusting i've done that you're gonna eat that's what you're gonna eat i she's so we went on it was one of them this is a mancation where we hiked in Yosemite. And on the West Coast, there's a burger chain called In-N-Out. You've heard of this probably.

Yeah, I've been there. Okay. So some guys feel like In-N-Out is the greatest fast food burger in the history of fast food burgers. It's pretty good. Okay. Yeah. I don't know. I find all fast food burgers, with the exception of Burger King, which is bad, to be roughly the same.

But anyway, we're going to In-N-Out, and at the time, I'm a revenge-based vegetarian, right? Remember that thing? Where I didn't eat cows because they were nice? So sticking to that, I'm like, all right, you know, we go to their website, and they serve grilled cheese sandwiches. And I'm like, ah, I'll have a grilled cheese sandwich.

That's fine. It's literally the only other thing on the menu, right? There's no chicken anything. It's just burgers and grilled cheese. And I get there in person and there's no grilled cheese on the menu, like above there. And I'm like, do you have grilled cheese?

Like your website said you did, but I don't see it. And they're like, yeah, sure. And like you said it's it's literally like it's two hamburger buns with everything you'd have on a um a cheeseburger right there's like cheese lettuce tomato tomato right even onions and uh and mushrooms at this place like all that crap was gonna be like the lettuce and tomato were cold yeah yeah it's just a burger that they put together in the same assembly line without the burger. And I ordered it.

Where's the beef? Yeah. Like that old commercial. Yeah. But I was like, look, let's eat a hamburger today. You don't want a veggie sandwich. And ever since, she's been addicted to them as well. There's no way to fuck it up.

I get a bacon cheeseburger with two patties, and I get a large Caj and it's the fry that's some serious caloric intake let's look it up because i don't think you like you say that guess how much it is 1400 oh i bet you're way off i'm guessing 2250 oh that's a lot calories let's All right. So the bacon cheeseburger that I get is 920 calories. Did you say double bacon cheeseburger? Well, it's implied there. Okay. And I'm looking for their fries. I'm clicking to find those.

62 grams of fat. The fries, 950 calories. So we're talking about 19. 1870 already. Yeah. Yeah, 1870. But I get get mayonnaise on there so that's 100 calories ketchup that's 20 more uh so we're about 2000 now and we throw in a drink maybe another 250 for your soda i'll get a large soda yeah so about 1250. I'm pretty close on this thing. Oh, no. Yeah. 2250. You're pretty close on this thing. I nailed it, I think.

2400 calorie meal. That's not one I can do every day. I did it five days in a row. I did it the day after we ate that meal at Longhorns. No, that day. I ate that meal at Longhorns and then came back to Commerce three hours later and I ate the Five Guys meal. Is Commerce a town? Yeah.

Okay. That was my bank back in the day. That's where we ate Longhorn at the other day. Gotcha. Yeah. With that terrible wait staff. We were talking about that today. Chiz is still backing you.

The notion that – so when we first got there i was on the phone with jackie when everyone was taking orders and i i asked for i ordered a filet mignon and then she just looked at me and i said are there more questions and uh because normally they're like what temperature do you want that cooked at do you want a baked potato or mashed potato stuff like that and um i wasn't like i I sort of knew there were more questions. I was like, are there any more questions? And everyone was like, oh my God, what is so terrible? What is so terrible? I'm like, no, I just like the way I order filet mignon is this like, like usually it's a lightning round, you know, what temperature do you want to cook

that back? Baked or mashed potatoes? What's, you know, what, what vegetable do you want? Like, go, go, go. It's lightning round. That's how I order food. And when I ordered filet mignon and she just looked at me like dumbstruck, like it was Wendy's. Like I'm supposed to say I want a number six medium sweet tea. Like, I see where you're coming from. But I think it was your tone. Now, okay. I was on the phone with Jackie at the time and she

thinks you're crazy and she's not one to let me off on tone at all. She's my tone Nazi. She's like, you're yelling. It was your body language too and your expression and everything. I feel like sometimes the words that come out

are acceptable but it's not what you say but how you say it and it's not always just how you's not what you say, but how you say it. And it's not always just how you say it, but what you're doing while you say it. If you're doing one of these, like, are there more questions? I didn't do that at all. That's not how I did it. I'm so innocent on this one. I feel like because I've been what you mean though i've been

labeled as like the wait staff abuser that now unless i literally like blow a dude you're like what are you kind of rough on him well look i i have long i've always said that when it comes to wait staff and tipping them and all that stuff i will tip well if they do a really good job because i feel like that's a thing i i like to tip them if they do a really good job because I feel like that's a thing. I like to tip them well when they do a good job because I feel like it considers them to do a good job more. Like if they're like, I really busted my ass for that table and I didn't get shit, like that's going to make them into a bad waiter I feel like.

And I don't want bad wait staff. I want great wait staff. So when they do a great job and I feel like they – I can see that they're like actually hustling like I've seen waiters who hustled who like who like you could see they were doing the like a fast walk to get to you like to fill your shit up and to ask you questions those guys get 20 tips 30 tips you know depending on how much the bill is i mean whatever um but this lady was just terrible uh she was just onto your person yeah yeah she was just terrible what's funny she is not... No.

Yeah, yeah. She is far from the worst person we had. But your freak out is totally forgiven by the world. She had our drinks. She had our bread. We had finished our drinks. And then... She wasn't good. I don't mean to say she was good.

If she was good, the appetizers would have come while we were still working on our drinks and stuff. What actually happened is she got the drinks and bread pretty quickly and then disappeared for 15 minutes. I felt like your situation was a zero pressure situation, though. Like we already had, I think, maybe even the cheese fries there. Like we were fed. We had we had drinks. And I wasn't impatient or even bad. There was something about the way you

said it that we all kind of had a reaction to like and we didn't plot it are you suggesting that three of us got together and was like hey when woody says anything to the waitress let's act like it's a big deal no we all perceived whatever it was you did as a faux pas and and while i do know i know what you mean like it's usually a lightning round what i did uh to be honest when i ordered mine i was like uh nine ounce filet mignon medium rare uh loaded baked potato loaded sweet potato large sweet tea and like you're done and like caesar dressing and like she just knew and i think maybe she was expecting you to follow suit with that because but i was on the phone and not really engaged with what was happening elsewhere. And that is, I think that's one small part of like why maybe the group felt like, I think that's where things went awry.

You were on the phone. And so I don't, I feel like that your volume modulation changed a little bit. You didn't get it exactly. You were a little bit louder than you should have been. It just felt like you were kind of barked at her a little bit. It was very direct. What I think is, I remember towards the end of my, like when I was doing YouTube real hard,

it seemed like every time I uploaded a video, people were hard scoping it, just looking for something to fuss about, right? Every time I uploaded a video, it'd be like, Woody said this, Woody said that. Don't you think he's a money whore? Don't you think he's this or something other? You know, oh my God, you use capital letters in your title?

Really, Woody? Capital letters? Yeah, capital letters, fuck off. You know, like so many people use capital letters on YouTube. I can't use capital letters in a title? Like if I want to stress a word or something? And I felt like they were just hard scoping me, looking for something to bitch and moan about.

That I think is not too far from the situation we have now whenever wait staff comes around. I can be like, oh I'd like a filet mignon, and then she sits there dumbstruck, like not saying anything, or even giving that nonverbal hint that she heard it, and I'm like, oh are there more questions? And you're like, oh, what he asked

if there were more questions, no, no. And what you did to the low long longhorn way or lone star waitress whatever she was um was a hundred times she was a much better waitress than that chicago pizza guy that chicago pizza guy 20 minutes vouching for i'm not vouching for chicago pizza guy i'm just saying you're dropping f-bombs quite loudly in a restaurant that's so not fair to you guys but like I wasn't like cursing the guy out there's no what there were no there's no staff near our table there was a table there was a table of people like no we were the only people there it

was late they were closing that was like part of the thing if that's what you remember that I feel like we can only continue this with chiz present because i i he was sitting next to me and he had the best view of the table of people who were just over your shoulder and who heard the f-bomb the chicago incident was like an empty restaurant there was a bartender who spent 20 minutes just like polishing her bar and the guy's like i couldn't find anyone to open your bottles horseshit you forgot about us 20 minutes just like polishing her bar and the guy's like i couldn't find anyone to open your bottles horse shit you forgot about us 20 minutes in we literally didn't have drinks 30 seconds in to your lady we had drinks and we had bread i feel like i was more i was more lenient toward

that guy because we did come in when they were closing in like 35 minutes or something like that so i felt like we were i felt like we were we were they might not have been firing on all cylinders yeah i was happy to get anything because i felt like we were getting like hazard pay time out of them or something like that i hear you lady first of all unattractive okay let's just be honest here unattractive she was slovenly uh her her makeup was just terribly done that same waitress loses 35 pounds our service is fine i would have said the same shit to that really hot waitress i really would have like like i just don't care i felt it was disrespectful i

felt it she was treating us like that because she didn't think that we'd say anything and and that to me is it's like she's implying that we don't deserve better service. It's like she's looking down at us over there like, ha, they'll wait. We had drinks and bread instantly. What are they going to do, complain? Don't wait until I get good and damn ready to bring their drinks to them and their food to them. I don't care, 30 minutes, 40 minutes, I'm going to go smoke a cigarette. Like, fuck her.

No. It had been too long, and I wanted the food. It was pressing. like fuck her no she had it had been too long and i wanted the food it was pressing and i thought i had implied that when i was like whichever you can get to me fastest and like looked her in the eyes and nodded can i thought that we had an understanding can i request a new topic oh yeah all right so i got a letter on reddit now i know typically you know we like that we like to do the amas and stuff from patreons. But this is just PKN. And this guy had a letter he wrote to me on Reddit.

So I will read it to you. Black barbers. Woody, the issue is becoming more severe than I originally thought. So yes, now the general consensus is black man barbershop will cut black man hair. Yes? So me being white, I go in with white man hair to a white barbershop, cut black man hair. Yes. So me being white, I go in with white man hair to a white barbershop, which held two workers, both white.

So I'm thinking, all right, cool. I'll get my haircut in time for college. And that's when he walks in. We'll call him Jamon. I don't know. The first thing I notice is his dreadlocks. Then I noticed his smiling, you're up face. Me, not being racist, I go and sit in the chair.

I ask for short back and sides. Nowhere in my sentence did I ask, please take the blade to the sides of my hairline and cut out thumb-sized chunks. My hairline looks like the letter U. Of course, he shaped my hair in black fashion. So, Woody, I'm writing to plead for you that when you run your presidency, that in your campaign you will make it law that the person who cuts your hair must be the same color as you. If you read this, I hope you give it a laugh.

Honestly, walking out of the barbers, I felt violated. Stay away, and I hope the shop is going well. P.S. I can't believe this. I'm not racist. My dog is black. You know what? I bet you that it's only black male barbers.

Because I feel like I have had my hair cut by black women. Actually, I had a black woman cut my hair so poorly one time, they made fun of me at work. And I literally returned and was like, you gotta fix this. They're making fun of me at work. Now that I think about it. But her problem was there were big swaths of hair that were too long. It went like shaggy to short and she had missed a bunch and just fucked it all up. But I think I've had a black woman cut it well in Atlanta one time. But but I'd say 90 percent of my haircuts had been by white women. I had a Hispanic woman cut my hair and it was in Florida in like a neighborhood that was mostly Hispanic.

And she was rough. Like she's cutting my hair and she's, oh, the clippers, right? So you're like, I don't know. When I work clippers or something, I would just kind of casually go up. It doesn't take a lot of force or something. Yeah. She is like abusing my head with clippers. And at first I'm just like, oh my God, how long is this going to last?

And eventually I'm like, you know, that hurts. And she explained to me, she's like, yeah, I know. But if I don't go this hard on my, you know, like, you know, I think she called him Cuban, like on my Cuban customers, then they feel like they don't get their money's worth. Like, I'm going, like, they like a good rough haircut. I may have a tender baby scalp, I don't know, because I often feel like they're hurting me. I have had them come in with the hammer,

with the comb like a hammer, where they just go, like that, and it's like why are you strike these are comb strikes yeah and and I just I just want a gentle barber who cuts it nice I you and I both had Asian women cut our hair that time in Chicago I think that was okay with that yeah yeah yeah I was okay with that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I did okay. Definitely didn't have any issues with that. They offered Botox. Like, we could have come back that night and got Botox at the bar.

Did they really? I remember. You wanted to go. And I was like, I never really considered Botox. And you're like, I'd do it. And I was like,

huh. Why not? Let's paralyze some of our face. We'll look prettier. I guess. I don't know. There's enough actors and actresses who say Botox isn't the way

that suddenly they lose their ability to act. Like all the emotion that they would convey through facial expressions gets dropped. Yeah, they often do it around their mouths and their eyes so they're just kind of like argh! They can't do anything how long does it let oh wait am i mixing up botox with something else botox is the numbing one right uh yeah it's like uh what's that's it's um it's not collagen

collagen is what they like yeah that's the one i was mixing up yeah yeah yeah so i don't know whatever it's all good yeah i do some botox you know it lasts yeah yeah so i don't know whatever it's all good yeah i'd do some botox you know it lasts a few weeks i don't know how many like that in my amateur opinion three to six weeks botox lasts well let's look how i misspelled how long does botox last Botox last for four to six months Jesus Wow you better do a good job you're fucked for a while yeah you glad we didn't let this Korean ladies shoot us up and with a four to six months worth of worth of face paralyzer probably like I remember it was a new thing they offered like they were just kind of learning Botox like yeah it's a new thing we started weeks ago

yeah i wouldn't want it uh i would i would do it but i would want a professional to do it there's not many things i wouldn't try but i don't want like the bootleg version of them i see people with tattoos i saw a guy the other day and he had bootleg tattoos. Like he had a Bart Simpson that looked like I did it. He had like all this black outline. They look like prison tattoos, but like, I know he hasn't been in a prison, in prison. He just got shitty tattoos. And I'm just thinking like, that's something for you. You go, you don't scrimp. You don't, you don't go for the bargain tattoo place. I got, a guy gave me his business card a few weeks back. He was like, here, man, you ever want a tattoo?

It's on the house. You just come over there. I'll hook you up. And I'm like, nah, dude, I'll pay you. Like, I don't want you, like, doing some permanent shit to my ass and thinking, like, eh, I'm off the clock. Fuck it. Like, let's get you paid.

I know, right? That's one thing you should overpay for I think that may be a good question for PKA maybe we should save it things that you should always overpay for and I feel like tattoo is one you should overpay for if you're getting a tattoo how's Scott

doing is he working right now is he still on the tractor he finished that tractor whenever I sent those pictures he had finished it so I haven't talked to him since then. He was supposed to start another welding contract. That's why I was wrapping the tractor up. Why do his contracts not run back to back? Because he likes a break? Yeah, he's just taking breaks.

He gets to collect the unemployment when the job's not on or something like that and it's like 65 percent of his full wage which is like considerable amount of money and uh i don't know he's just he's got that kid now i think he's been spending some time with the kid it just i don't know sometimes i think of future jobs for Colin and Jackie never likes them. Right. She's all like, I think he's going to be a dermatologist. And I think, well, I don't want to write that off. But just his current academic trajectory doesn't shout medical doctor to me.

You know, he would have to have a real hockey stick to have that as his life. And well, I don't want to write anything off or put a cap on the kid or whatever. As his language gets better, his language gets better. As he can talk to strangers, he gets more communication and we really could have a hockey stick but let's not count on it. And sometimes I think about other careers you know like i i think i one time said he could own a landscaping business out loud i said that because i know people making six digits doing it not no i've known people who make six digits doing it and i think my yard guy makes that uh

they were doing they do like 15 yards a day mm-hmm and it like 80 buck I don't know I gave him 70 for mine and that I think I'm paying less than everybody else okay yeah you know it's like you you could do that and and Colin has a bit of a leg up and that I could help him with startup costs and stuff like that like a lot of times I think that you know whatever getting a pair of mowers and six weed whackers or something like that it would be a hardship for someone who wants to start a business. But for Colin, like we could get him up and going and, you know, let him take on any job he wanted right from the get go. And but Jackie hears that and she thinks like I'm condemning him to some sort of life that, you know, I wouldn't want to live.

But anyway, Scott's life popped into my head. And it's like, you know, this guy seems like he's making a lot of money. Heck, his truck makes a lot of money. Like, that's ridiculous. Like, they pay, like, whatever, half salary again for taking a truck to work? Yeah. Yeah. Wow.

Like, you know, like, sanders is out there hoping that that people can make a better minimum wage and scott is like his truck earns more than mcdonald's employees do well he took um so he had always welded with us like he he started with the welding experience that like i have and my dad has and you know we probably where i am too yeah yeah we can stick two pieces of metal together well enough that like they're not coming apart they're not going to look so great but they're stuck sometimes they look good right sometimes but you can't count on it if it's big it'll look okay yeah my stick looks like shit but um but he had that, and then he did two years of technical school, and the promises coming out of that were what he has now.

But it wasn't there. It was several years ago. It was like 2010, right in the middle of that recession. Things were bad, and there weren't any welding jobs to be had that didn't involve his ass flying to Alaska, and he was not up for that. So he worked for me for a couple years and then he went back and did like another I'm gonna say six months maybe maybe less maybe four months something like that of like specialized training to learn the specialized kind of welding that he's going to be doing to to get these nuclear power plant jobs and

it was hard stuff like hard on on a hand-eye coordination level. It's like, you know, I can sign my name pretty well with my right hand, but I can't do it upside down with my left hand. And that's the kind of welding that it was like, okay, you got to weld backwards with your left hand, but you've got to reverse things now. You got to do it with the other hand

and lots of like welding tubes together it seemed like lots of round circular welds and overhead stuff that he'd never done before and um i don't know it took him months to to get that specialized training but now it seems like yeah like if he wants a job that if he wants a job somewhere he can get it and he's got this job anytime he wants it with the nuclear uh thing yeah i i knew that he was not just a run-of-the-mill guy, right? And that's why he's not getting run-of-the-mill pay. But I also thought maybe it was within, you know, Colin's reach to be that guy.

Yeah. So we'll see. I once had horses in my head. I was like, what if, you know, we got the stable up and running to house horses and the property? And Colin, if you want to make money, you have to be near the money. That's like everyone sort of knows that. And people with horses often have money. They'll pay 500 bucks a month and you get 10 horses and suddenly you're doing five grand a month. And I don't know,

it could turn into a thing uh that's only 60 grand a year we haven't that's not an awesome yet but uh is that right yeah so but um I just thought like oh maybe there's a career in that uh someone had told me that uh he has a family member that breeds miniature horses and apparently those things are going for some stupid amount of money. Like they're selling them for like 60 grand a pop. He's doing like 10, 15 horses a year. And I'm like, well, fuck, you know? 60 times 10, you're talking about awesome money.

But Jackie didn't like that career for him either. No horses, no landscaping, no welding, you know, MD. Maybe, I don't see. You know, MD. Maybe. I don't see even pushing hope into MD. What are you doing here? You know, like, so. You're like, honey, I didn't make it either. You know how many,

how many more years do you need for your MD? Is it two or four? Probably before, because I didn't go the right under. I have a two-year master's. MD is four but it wouldn't stack right. That was my question. Four more years.

I don't remember what my mom has to get. Hers is in early childhood education. She's got a master's. I don't remember how many more years she needed for the doctor but I was like, Mom, you're going to be the doctor of teaching first a first grade like like your first grade teacher doctor come on and now but every time she does it she gets a promotion apparently a PhD I just be even be I think I'd be a dissertation

away from a PhD like that's it but by the time I finished my, I've told this before, but I'll say it. I finished my master's in engineering with a focus in comp sci. And I was like, what do I do next? I feel like I have this massive amount of time. I could restore a car. That was a thing. Restore an old Mustang has been a lifelong dream of mine. I could do woodworking.

I thought about writing a book. I thought about a PhD. But I felt like my nerd side, like my nerd muscles were just bulging and ripped and fucking like tiger skin stretched across pure muscle. That's the nerd me. But my like American male me, just awful. Like not developed, atrophied, and nothingness. And that's when I picked up woodworking, and later I got into off-roading because I just wasn't well-rounded like I aspired to be. I see. That makes sense.

Yeah. Well. Are you evaluating yourself on that scale? Oh, no. Certainly not. what's going through your head i'm i'm too much of a narcissist to even consider that things could be better um no but um i feel like i'm pretty well rounded in the things i care about like i guess that that could be seen as a cop-out like oh yeah you don't care about the things you're not good at huh but maybe maybe the maybe that's the only reason you're not good at huh but maybe maybe maybe that's the only reason i'm not good at them you ever consider that um but no like the things i'm

not i'm not talking to you i'm talking to like potential like naysayer over there um i don't know i'm not good at uh i'm not good at lots of things i suppose but as far as like things that i wish that i had like under my belt like skills there's that there's the obvious ones like you know it'd be great to play a musician or speak another language but um um hmm I want to learn some more paint and body stuff from my dad I think next time he starts a project I'm gonna hang out with him a little more I know all the basic stuff I can do bondo work and I can sand it down to like 80% done But the finished product stuff is what I've never done because I never wanted to fuck up the finished product

I was always like no, I don't need to do that No, I don't want to do that because I never wanted to be the one who sprayed, you know $150 can of paint then and it's just ruined and that's what it'd be like each It's like 600 bucks worth of paint car and then the clear and everything. Yeah, it's just ruined. And that's what it'd be. It's like $600 worth of paint, the car, and then the clear and everything. Yeah, it's expensive. I never wanted to fuck up. But now I think I might want to try to learn that. I've sprayed before.

This is in woodworking. I've sprayed finishes. And I'm even not bad at it. I don't know how that would translate to auto work. It might be that what's good for wood is just the very you know like an amateur for for auto work because i think that's a higher thing like people who spray in automotive applications are the black barbers of the world you know that the the peak the ones who are really judged on how good they are there's a lot going on there and i don't even know everything that's going on there, but I know that the air pressure

you're running at, the humidity in the air, all changes. Then because of those things, you change the formula of the paint you're even using more or less paint thinner so it's more or less viscous when it's sprayed. Are you familiar with orange peel, that term? You're trying to get as little orange peel as possible. Orange peel is like, if you a met to the audience if you imagine the way an orange's skin looks kind of dimpled and lots of dimples on it but but really minute ones if you look at your factory paint job really closely like if you're really critical you'll probably see some level of orange peel yeah almost all factory ones but if it's a really well done custom paint job it's like it's like a candy apple.

It's perfect, and that's really hard to achieve. When people do hot rods and classic cars, a perfect paint job, you won't see orange peel. Yeah, and you just got to do it right once, from what I understand. I feel like you can just keep putting coat after coat of clear coat and then just wet sanding it and then just do it again. And every time you fuck up, just another coat. And it actually looks better as you go. But I don't know if I would ever be able to do –

it looks like exhausting work too. Like I've put primer on car parts and stuff. And by the time you prime a whole car, you're like, that's a pretty good workout because you're always in an awkward position, kind of leaning so the hose isn't touching the car. And it's kind of a workout to do. I'd like to get better at that, I think, because he's good at it. And I've got a really good resource to learn from. But I don't know.

I guess I've never really been interested in too many other things. I feel like I got good at the things I was interested in. And i legitimately don't care about too many of the things that i'm not that great at hmm i am trying to think what i would like to get be better at i have a really broad range of things i'd like to be good at and to have experienced i i i like i guess one of my goals is to live a very very complete life right Like there's a nerd side of me, like American male, which is what I call like the carpentry mechanic side of me. There's the traveler in me. I tried to be a musician.

I think I'm musicianally retarded. I tried harder than most failures, and yet I'm still one of them. I might even, I think about picking that up again all the time, but I'm just, it doesn't come easily to me. Maybe a different instrument. Maybe the piano. One issue with the piano, so my left hand is like crippled, like I've shown that to you before.

That's right. The thing about the guitar, I play left-handed because I've got that crippled left hand is crippled. I've shown that to you before. That's right. The thing about the guitar, I play left-handed because I've got that crippled left hand. But I can work the pick good enough. But on a piano, that would really hold me back. We were talking about getting some of those musically tuned shooting targets the other day. Are you familiar with these?

No. They're steel targets that you shoot and they're tuned. That's a clever idea. You can play songs, especially if you use a suppressor on your gun so you don't hear the gun blast. You can play a song. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding,

ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. It'd be pretty cool. That's really cool. How much are the targets? I don't even look it up. I'm sure they'd probably send some if we wanted some. I'm wondering if I could... You'd have to memorize the pattern.

I think it'd be pretty difficult to do. Do you know Mary Had a Little Lamb? I don't know. I could sing it. I don't know the keys, though. I don't know the actual notes that compose it. I can play Mary Had a Little Lamb on almost anything. And I can even sing to you like on a phone.

3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1. Or something like that. And like I could give you the notes and you could play Mary Had a Little Lamb on your first day. Like you could just have it there as a cheat card, and you'd learn it quickly. Yeah, just the numbers. All I need is the numbers, or you can even paint them. The easiest thing, if it's three notes, then just do red, blue, green,

and just have it written there, R-B-G, R-B-G, R-G-G-B, and just, I can memorize it. Yeah, that'd be interesting to do. But I'd want a whole song. That'd be cool. And it'd be really funny to do, like, dueling banjos with whole song. That'd be cool. And it'd be really funny to do like dueling banjos with another shooter. That'd be cool. That would be really cool.

I'm sure it's been done. Probably. Not the dueling banjos thing, but the musical thing. The Mary Had a Little Lamb thing? See, I don't know. And this is a difference. Sometimes, like, oh, there's the scale, right? And way up here is dueling banjos, and that's your idea.

And way down here is shooting paper, you know, that just sucks. And I'm like, alright, this is not good enough. What's the highest I can go that's achievable? I can pull off Mary Had a Little Lamb. Dueling Banjos That would just never happen I don't think I'd ever get that good I think it might be too hard

And I don't know If I should aim up here sometimes At stuff That's one of the things that happened with me in Woody's Lab It really depends on how I like the Dueling Banjos thing I don't know how many notes that is like is it composed of three notes or four notes or five twelve you know really

in any case yeah i know what you i know what you're getting at yeah it's hard to because the the um i don't know you can't go out with an amateur performance anymore you've got a you've got to either do it uh do it well or not do it at all and a lot of the times like someone will suggest doing this or that i'm just like yeah i can do that but i can't do it i'm not the best at it like let's stick to things that i'm good at and things that'll play to our strong suits um i got some fun ideas for this flamethrower video next week that's gonna be interesting i was thinking it'd be cool to shoot stuff while I was burning it and make it explode.

I'm not an ex... Oh, wait. Are there six notes in Dueling Banjos? It might be six. I could be reading this wrong, but if there's six notes, maybe it is achievable. It would be a mystery guitar man level

try after try after try after try after try until you get if you want to do it in one take for sure but if you break it up into like like if one of the takes is this if one of the takes is and then the then you cut and then the and then the other shooter goes you cut and then the other shooter goes bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum and you're like bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum and then he's bang bang bang bang bang bang bang and by the time now at the end of course it's that's what

it'd be funny to just really go like yeah like ready W or something you just like nobody can do that shit but yeah it's a fun idea you could and speaking of mystery guitar man you could bring it to the editing level when it gets crazy like you could literally just have like a a g an e a you know c sharp or whatever and then just you know do it all in premiere pro instead of real life yeah yeah i like that um i like that that idea would dude that would be that that could be a 10 million view video or 15 million view video like it is hard to tell especially the dueling banjo aspect of it you need two

very good shooters and lots of time and uh yeah i was gonna offer my as i as we were brainstorming i was like dude i would be willing to invest the time it took and it was like you know like i would be willing and i would love to be that other guy but it would take me so many tries and stuff like you might want to do a collab with 22 plinkster in this situation i don't i i don't know who it would be um it would have to be someone who's pretty good yeah i don't know that's why i picked him he's a shooter so here's the hard part it's not the memorization and it's not hitting the targets it's hitting them with the right timing because you can't just go bing bing bing bing bing bing bing bing bing like that doesn't sound

like a song it's got bing bing bing bing bing bing bing b got like you've got to hit them in the right uh timing and uh that would be the struggle and there would be dozens of attempts where like you you kind of do it but not really uh and i don't mean you specifically but i mean like anyone who's attempting to do it it'd be hard to do but it's a fun idea maybe someday that's one of them that that's a little idea that i've had for a long long time i love that idea uh and also i i love that it breaks the formula too right like if i were to describe an fps russia video like it there's like a bunch of things they tend to ramp up into like a bigger and brighter flash and then at the end there's like the payoff um this would be i guess similarly it also has a payoff different thing but it's it would definitely break the mold i'll tell you another thing we've

been talking about doing and maybe uh this could be for your g fuel thing even is a rube uh goldberg machine uh that involves guns and uh and fire and explosives and stuff like that and maybe a vehicle uh me and eric have been talking about that a lot and i don't know we we've got lots of big ideas for like oh this could be a thing and that could be a thing but no none of us have any idea how to like put it all together and make it one big machine but i think that would be so fun to do one of those um yeah there's someone out there working in special effects at hollywood right now who is like oh yeah you do this with pneumatics you do this with hydraulics you do this with you know servos and i can make all those things activate

and actuate yeah i i love the good ones and i'm just thinking of like firearm specific, you know, triggers and reaction things. Are there any like illegal things about that? Like. About what? Okay. I shoot a target. That target makes a bowling ball roll down. That activates the next gun.

Are you allowed to do that? Yeah. Because I can't attach one to a drone. Like that's a thing that I think is not okay. We'll see. We'll see how that pans out. Okay. Yeah. Because I can't attach one to a drone. That's a thing that I think is not okay. We'll see how that pans out. Okay. Yeah. So when you attach it to the drone,

you're firing it electronically for one thing. And for another, it's remote control, which I think maybe... And it's flying. See, that whole thing where he armed his drone, when I saw him do that, I knew that he was about to get into some trouble. It's a mixture of things that he did wrong. It's not any one thing.

Putting a gun on the drone is the thing because it does several things at once. First of all, it's giving him remote control of like a flying weapons platform. The fact that it's flying brings the FAA into the whole thing. The fact that there's a gun there brings the ATF into the whole thing. The fact that there's a gun there brings the ATF into the whole thing. And then there's state and federal stuff to consider as well. He just riled up a lot of government agencies. But, you know, if we did...

Now, one thing that I've always wanted to do, I've got this rotary-powered double SKS mount. You turn a crank and two SKSs are fired alternately. I know that if you stick a power drill to that thing instead of the hand crank, you can go much, much higher rate of fire. I'm pretty sure that's illegal. I think that's only illegal if I made the drill a permanent part of the whole thing. I think with my license for R&D purposes, I think it'd be okay for me to do that. I think I could even register it. But it's a real gray area.

It's real foggy stuff. However, with a Rube Goldberg machine, I think that falls under a similar silliness as when you put a string on the trigger and pull it to test something silly. It's fine, I think. I know. I've seen Iraq Veteran do that a hundred times. Like I saw one with a Mosin Nagant. He was testing how tough it is. And he just, you would understand this better than me,

but he was loading the cartridge, the bullet with too much powder. And then some powders are more powerful than other powders. And he's just, he was really shooting some powders and he's just he was he was really shooting some hot rounds and he felt like it was dangerous enough that he shouldn't pull the trigger with his finger and uh and in the end the gun broke you know because it was like a mini like explosive in there yeah and that seemed fine we uh he and i both have a uh a chopped down mosin it's um oh god damn it i can't't remember the name of it. There's a very special There's a special name that they call a Mosin Nagant pistol, but anyway

No, it's it's it's a it starts with a C. I think a core Lada or a cortanza or some bullshit anyway Yeah, you'll find it pretty fast. It's Mosin Nagant pistol What's it called it's done, but those are really is is it over s that's what it is yeah, it's mosin got pistol um what's it called it's not but those are really is it over as that's what it is okay it's an obraz um but those are cool because it's it's a big fucking 30 caliber bullet but you know the whole thing's chopped down to a pistol dude mosin's kick too how does it kick in pistol form it goes like that it doesn't hurt it's not like a 500 that like no very different than a 500 the 500 just feels like there's a a vibration that that's that's gets sent into your hand and it's just it really feels like you're getting smacked in the palm really hurts that's um hickok 45

used the very similar language like it it didn't seem like it was like injuring him as much as it was like he just had enough of it you know like yeah it's not pleasant it was a skin deep awful feeling i've shot those things a good bit do they hurt your wrist no never your whole wrist isn't like getting like i don't think i've got strong hands or wrists or anything but like i i never get grown man hands though like you're not sure yeah yeah i wear large gloves uh but but like but like i've never had a gun hurt my wrist or my hand or anything like that it it all the 500 pistols have always vibrated my palm it feels like getting slapped and like like if a teacher took a ruler to like punish you and like smack you in the palm that's what it feels like it's it's smarts but it's never been so much that i

wasn't man enough to go and go ahead and dump the other four rounds out of the gun um you know and i've shot them with you know one in each hand you know like cowboy style and it prefers eagle um is this a semi-auto and absorbs a lot of the... Sure, that takes some of the recoil out. And it's also a different caliber. It's the Desert Eagles and.50 Action Express and the.500 Smith & Wesson is a whole different beast. It's like a.50 Smith & Wesson,

but it's actually a lot more powerful round out of the Smith & Wesson, right? More powder and a heavier round going. How does a.500 out of a Smith & Wesson, in like stopping power or damage to a bunch of stacked books or whatever, compare to like a.223? We've done plenty of testing with that. Usually they say pistols are pistols and rifles are rifles,

and every rifle, it seems, is more powerful than a pistol. Well, let's look at the foot-pounds of energy. So the 500 SNW foot-pounds. The 500 Magnum ballistic charts. So it's delivering on the high end. Let's just give it its best uh it's like about 2500 uh foot pounds of muzzle energy so a 223 remington i'm seeing numbers what is buffalo boar versus corbon is there one i should be using double tap oh these are what the fuck these are all manufacturer names. I didn't recognize Buffalo Boar.

It looks like we're centering around the 12, 1300s and peaking around 1500. So it looks like it has more energy than a 223. Yeah, that would make a lot of sense because the weight is much higher. What's the weight on yours? They're in grains. 55 to 77 on the high end. Well, let's see. With the 500 Magnum, you're dealing with 275 all the way up

to 440 and 500 grains in some cases. I think we were shooting 500 grain bullets. What are your velocities in feet per second? They're lower. They're much lower. They range from 1200 to 1600. That's the difference. But obviously, the end result of the the uh the end

result of that equation is the muzzle energy and it's just higher much much bigger bullet going somewhat slower well a lot slower because these are all three thousand to like yeah over half yeah well yeah it's about that's the difference double the speed but one fourth the weight if i had to pick i'd get shot with a 223 um thousands of people have survived being shot with 223s but i've never heard anybody surviving getting shot with a 500 smith nielsen magna i would pick the one that he aims worse with you know i i feel like he's only got five shots out of his fucking hand cannon and it makes the fireball come out the end about yay

yay and after three he won't shoot anymore because it hurts too much stop running uh yeah no if if i had both in my safe and there was a bad guy i think i grabbed the 223 because i think i'll hit him yeah and if you don't you got like 29 more shots yeah there's always that you can rain on somebody, one of those things. .223 is the way to go. But yeah, that rounds so much power. I've shot a bunch of crap with it, like testing it. Obviously watermelons and blocks.

What does an 1847 shoot? A 7.62x39mm. Thank you. Yeah, that's a good way to go too. It's a. way to go too. It's a 30 caliber bullet. That's the 7.62 part that you'll see, you know, at the, at the beginning of a lot of those, uh, rounds. Uh, the, the 308 is 7.62 by 51 millimeter. The Mosin Nagant cartridge is 7.62 by 54 millimeter. You're just getting, the bullets just getting longer and longer as you go. Um, the AK round

is a cool round. I like it a lot. It's cheap, too. It's still cheap. Buy 1,000 rounds for a few hundred bucks. I'm allowed to shoot in my property. So basically, I'm outside this. My address is Raleigh. But the city of Raleigh literally ends on all four sides of me.

You've looked at my aerial view enough. You know there's subdivisions on either side. Those are in Raleigh, the city. city they pay city taxes i'm in the county but with the city address back on topic i just i haven't shot a gun on my property yet i hear some of my neighbors doing it every so often um but if i were gonna shoot there i would limit it to shotguns and like clay pigeons i literally want to shoot 60 rounds of ak into the dirt just to see if it's reliable now i made it remember it was unreliable at your house i do on the drive home i stopped by a gun place they're like oh yeah they like before i even told him what manufacturer it was he's like it's this like cio yep they've

got this thing they pull a piece out that's like a rubber stop or something and they're like yeah so now it has the potential to crack in the back here that's the thing that happens to someone but it should have fixed your reliability issues and i just haven't dumped that like was the bolt bouncing off of it uh in the back or something yeah was the bolt accelerating forward too fast well Well, I can't tell you why they felt like the rubber thing in the back was a problem. I think what it was is the bolt hits the back of it,

the receiver or something, I don't know what it's called, too hard and it was causing cracks. So what they did is they put a little rubber bumper there. Oh, they added to there. They added a bumper. And then that caused the problem. That causes

a failure to feed. So by removing the bumper, it recreates the possibility of cracking it after too many shots, but it should feed reliably. And I haven't dumped the 60 rounds into the dirt. Yeah, I'm not familiar with that, but that makes a little bit of sense the way you're describing it.

Yeah, I should do it. The worst thing that's going to happen is the cops will come and you you just be like yeah i can shoot you here right no okay we won't do that again yeah no i i it's a i boned up on the laws when i was real estate shopping and i i'm pretty certain that if the cops said no you can't shoot here i'd be like well so these make sure you gotta i have to be you know 300 yards from other properties which i that if the cops said, no, you can't shoot here, I'd be like, eh. So these are the rules. I have to be 300 yards from other properties, which I am. I have to not have my bullet cross out of my property and through someone else's, which it didn't. You know, like, I don't want to be disrespectful, but I looked into this,

and I can unload a magazine into the ground. You need a backstop to shoot into or something. Yeah. You need to know where those bullets are terminating at i am you know it i think to myself sometimes like yeah yeah i see a range i put a backstop there all would be good and then i asked myself well how comfortable would you be if they shot at it from the other side you know would you be cool if someone used the other side of your backstop to shoot towards your house? Whoa, whoa, whoa. No.

No. Like, you know, I'd want it to be 100 feet tall. I'd want this. I'd want that. And that's what it is. And, you know, when I flip the script and say, is it okay to shoot in at this thing? Suddenly it doesn't seem as okay. Yeah.

I've seen some people build a range this is on like the internet and stuff that practically goes downhill right so the backstop might just be 10 feet over but because it's in like a 20 foot ditch yeah now we've got like a 30 foot backstop and we're really in pretty good shape but um you know does it get muddy what are our issues i don't know i don't know um i'm just always really What are our issues? I don't know. I don't know. I'm just always really wary of bullets going where I don't want them to. I think I'm close enough to, like, big land. Like, you know, if I head east, I get towards people who have, like, big plots of land and stuff.

That I could make a friend or buy a membership or something and not be near at all I could do explosions and not worry about noises and stuff like that um but yeah well we're well over we're in an hour 20 all right um well that was fun yeah I had a good talk anyway uh painkiller nearly episode 57 I hope you guys enjoyed it and as always Kyle I did
