Live now!
Oh, did I hit it?
I think you did.
I think you did.
I think, yeah.
What's with this delay the last few weeks?
Where you hit it, then we're just stutter-stepping over ourselves until it starts.
The worst part is the delay feels inconsistent.
Like, if I was like, alright, it takes about ten seconds, that'd be one thing.
Sometimes, it's just go.
We're live.
And other times, it's like, huh.
You know, I was sure I pressed the button, now I'm only half sure.
But, um, anyway. Oh, shucks. Sorry, I was sure I pressed the button. Now I'm only half sure. But anyway.
Oh, Shucks.
Sorry, I covered Kyle's face for a second there.
That's the whole point of watching this.
That's why people get the Patreon, really, right?
That's why Milo signed up so he could watch Kyle.
He signed up for a very special service.
He pays $1,000 a month, and I'd rather not say what he gets.
Oh, someone asked me a question
i'm gonna make him a video i'll make it public i think i thought it was a good question but you
know we have that thing at the hundred dollar level that lets you um like have the hosts like
answer a question for you in particular video response i think um yeah someone bought that
and wrote shit yeah so i got it now i got work to do now he's making me work god damn it
so uh so I have to
don't go buy that one guys what a hassle
oh you're gonna go
see the Revenant Taylor?
yeah hopefully Melissa and I are gonna go
see it tonight I'm tempering
my expectations because of what you said
I hope you hate it
no I hope I why would you wish
that on a friend?
I want you to join me I want you to join me.
I want you to join me on this show and be like,
you know what?
Woody's right.
I'd rather suck a cock than watch that movie again.
I haven't seen it yet.
I keep meaning to go because I want to have an opinion.
Like, I can't right now.
Because I am currently of the opinion that you have to be wrong
and that I'm going to love this thing.
But I can't.
You know, I got no leg to stand on.
I haven't seen the fucking thing.
Maybe it is a bore fest.
We'll see.
I've been out there by myself.
One man's journey of a limp through the woods.
It's just...
I watched Bone Tomahawk last night.
Finally.
And I don't remember your guys' review on that
of how good you thought it was and whatnot.
I thought it was overall really entertaining
But it had a really Lord of the Rings II vibe of like oh my god
When are they gonna get the fuck out of this plane where nothing happens?
No, I'll leave I'll leave a line of stones for you again with this we established
That's what you were doing yesterday after the campfire and still just we I didn't have to see
Samwise and Frodo
make the whole way to Mordor to get it just like every step every my leg in my
opinion Wild West Oh Tomahawk moves along at a snappy little pace compared
to the revenant so I can definitely appreciate slow-moving movies as long as
they're entertaining
along the way i found like now bone tomahawk is definitely what i think is referred to as a slow
burn it starts off really slow and i'd say the first three quarters of the film are really
getting getting to the place you're going but i really enjoyed that i learned a lot about the
characters you went you learned a lot about what kind of determination they had so then when you
get there and it's time to man up, you're like, oh, shit.
That's Billy Bob right there.
You're right.
Billy Bob doesn't mess around.
I got to talk.
I'm sorry.
And eruptions.
Fuck all my haters.
Now's my time.
I'm going to burn my political capital.
Now.
You're right.
Bone Tomahawk built up.
And all of these characters had a kind of grit in them that you had to develop to fully appreciate who they were.
Some of the characters in Bone Tomahawk you wouldn't have expected to have that I will not be defeated, I will not quit in them that they actually did.
And that's what I liked most about the movie.
Watching these people go up against something in a situation where they can't seem to win but they refuse to lose.
And it took a long time
to lay that out there.
The remnant is one guy
like that limping through the woods.
But it's Leonardo DiCaprio.
Oh, yeah.
It's like
Bone Tomahawk with Chubby, your actor.
Oh, that's not nice.
I liked Bone Tomahawk because it's difficultier actor. Oh that's not nice. I liked Bone Tomahawk because you know it's
difficult to compare it to other movies like like like if you compare it to some of the other movies
I liked last year like Mad Max like it just doesn't even compare like they made Bone Tomahawk
on like a very small budget I don't remember what it was now but it was like a million or two million
or something like that. Very different kind of movie. So that means that all those big actors
and don't they weren't that all those big actors,
there weren't a lot of big actors,
but there was Matthew Fox, I think, from Lost,
and then, of course, you had Kurt Russell there.
And then the guy who plays the one who actually desecrated the grave and his partner,
those were all supporting characters.
All actors you've seen before.
Yeah, supporting characters you knew
who would normally get paid something.
They're not getting paid the minimum, for sure.
But surely they all took the minimum
just so that this film could be made.
So knowing that it's a low-budget,
kind of independently made film,
it's odd to compare it to anything else,
but it was one of my favorite movies I saw last year.
For what it is, it's really good.
I thought Bone Tomahawk, I didn't know that that was going to be directly saw last year um what it is it's really good i just i couldn't the whole like i thought bone
tomahawk i didn't know that that was going to be directly just referring to like oh yeah that's
what those crazy indians up there use just a literal jawbone a lot of very homogenous jawbone
shapes and very sharp like just seeing like when uh kurt russell's on the ground and that savage
is like standing up like trying to shoot him or whatever and he grabs the
bone tomahawk i feel like we could spoil it at this point right yeah you guys have a lot of people
haven't seen it well bone tomahawk spoilers coming up yeah now when he swings it and he cuts off just
like the end of the indian's foot and it's just like the most clean like one of those ginsu
japanese knives cutting like a piece of
bamboo just straight through like it almost takes you out of the moment of like all right like
just severs right through us but like i know it's something silly to get hung up on but bother me i
in my head i was like they really sharpened the fuck out of those bone tomahawks they're
with sandy water or something i thought they were somewhat spiritual and stuff and they had that
like a didgeridoo in their neck and i didn't know what the guy was doing when he was cutting like
that right and then i kind of i don't want to even spoil it but there was a thing about the
crazy noise they made that was disgusting and even the fact that it was gross and it didn't
slow him down added to the grit that this guy had.
He's like, I'll even do this.
Yeah, he didn't give a shit.
He was just like, all right, here we go.
Time to do this thing now.
And I'm just like, I don't know.
I really liked it.
On the other hand, The Revenant,
a bear stepped on him and did the squishies
and he had to survive from that.
Yeah, I was really hoping that,
what's his name, the guy with the broken leg
like an hour and a half into that movie i was actively wishing for him to die and stop dragging
the story back mr beguire or whatever his name i couldn't handle that i will say this about the
revenant and i pay careful attention the bear attack scene i thought was well done yeah yeah
they're saying that see
that's one of the i've heard that that it's very good the vfx are amazing and i and i also saw that
the film is nominated for a vfx oscar along with you know dicaprio is best actor so this means that
the bear can win an oscar and and and beat dicaprio like dicaprio cannot get an Oscar. I have a hard time giving The Revenant the VFX Oscar
when Mad Max did so much.
Like, the way that they combined practical and virtual effects.
I re-watched that the other night.
That's a great movie.
Yeah.
That's probably my favorite of the year.
But we went through all that.
Yeah, you did.
All right.
So anyway, at least you're going to see The Revenant,
and I look forward to your opinion on this thing. W it was shit also all right i think it sucked or something
wings doesn't get opinions on things like that though if i want to know a good place to eat
fried chicken i'll ask wings but if i'm if i'm watching a good movie that's not my first stop
i feel like wings is a is a movie buff i feel like wings thinks he's a movie buff
i hear you okay there's a subtle difference
there i'm not that subtle uh wings has watched a lot of films i i i mean i i don't know if any of
us are really um cisco or ebert on this thing having been you know formally trained and all
that fun stuff certainly not but um but you know regular dudes, we've seen a lot of films and know what we like.
That's all I've ever claimed to be.
I don't know what the difference is between someone who spends a lot of time watching
movies and a movie buff.
Like, it seems like that's just...
I feel like you need to know...
Like, Kyle watches more movies than anyone that I know.
Oh, I've got a guy that works from K-Bar.
He watches tons of movies.
He attends a movie at the movie theater three or four times a week.
There aren't that many movies.
There aren't that many good movies.
Kyle's right.
Taylor's wrong.
Okay.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Yeah.
He will watch.
He catches, like, most of the movies, you know?
And he'll struggle after a while.
Like, yeah, I don't even know what to watch because he's down to like his eighth choice because he's seen all the others.
I feel like I have.
If you don't have one in particular that you really want to see.
Yeah, I don't want to catch like, maybe I'll undercut this.
I was going to say six movies a year in the theater.
Maybe it's a little more.
I probably see one a month
i i uh i really like the convenience of fandango i guess maybe that's how everybody does it now
but like i i love being able to buy the tickets at home and then when i get to the theater i'm
bypassing the whole line and just scanning my phone and everything um it's just so far to go
that's why i keep missing out on this like I'll look at the times the movie's showing
because I want to watch it in a certain theater
on a certain screen,
and it just never matches up with my schedule.
Are there not that many theaters near you?
You have to go away?
There are a few, but you've got to go away.
There's a really shitty one like 20 minutes away,
but I wouldn't even go there.
I drive almost an hour to get to a really nice theater.
That sucks. That's the downside
of living in a place
less densely populated.
I've got like 6 and 15 minutes.
Right, but can you
shoot a gun out your window?
You know what?
I tried and I was reprimanded.
Harshly.
It's hard to get both. What you really want is a big plot in the middle of your favorite city.
Yeah.
That's kind of what you've got going.
Best of both worlds.
As close to it as I can manage.
Can you shoot?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I was thinking about it more seriously.
I've been watching some people, you know, videos where people shoot on YouTube and stuff.
And Kyle kind of shoots into the woods knowing that there's like, I'm up a number but like 100 acres of woods on the other side i see other people like um
hickok 45 he has like railroad ties and stuff set up at the top of his thing there and i think you
know i could do that like you know here's my incline railroad ties stacked on top of that
and it wouldn't be too much you pass it road ties are pretty cheap too are they yeah i bought some um not too long ago from at home depot it seems
like they were like six bucks a piece or something they were really cheap you guys probably can't
picture the box of truth like firing range you know what that looks like no i haven't watched
it must be 150 feet wide sort of angled down and then they built a hill on the other side and it's a real
dirt moving construction project and i'm thinking to myself do i really want to do that to my
property and you know just so i can shoot but um i've seen some other guys with some more mild
stuff i think maybe i'll go that direction so yeah if you've got the room for it i always thought
that would be awesome to have like a hiccup setup where there's tons of those like metal panels or whatever those those targets
everywhere um i guess it's more fun in like watching his videos because he'll just be like
well let's see what this fucking hammerless revolver can do let's go for the gong and then
it's just like bing bing bing and i do like there's not a fucking prayer i could hit that
gong with any of the handguns that I've seen him do it.
But yeah, if you have a hill that you can shoot down into, that'd be awesome.
The question is the percentage.
You know, you give me 30, 40 rounds, that gong's going gong.
Oh, if I get 40 shots, that may be like.
The gong's big.
That might be.
The gong might be 36 inches.
Those are big.
I'll tell you, that guy is a much better shot than me
oh yeah he's great shot he is a very good shot and i've met him a few times he's a cool guy
would you put yourself on par with him and like no he's probably no he's definitely better with
like handguns and and i haven't watched enough of his shotgun for sure yeah so i don't do a lot
of handgun shooting.
And when I do, it's not really target precision shooting or anything.
Skeet shooting doesn't sound like precision shooting,
but for a shotgun it kind of is sometimes.
But that's what I like to do more than anything.
And long-range rifle shooting, I'm pretty decent at that.
Do you know the Demolition Ranch guy at all?
I like what he's doing on his channel too
he seems to i watched one today where he did some penetration testing and oh titanium yeah it sounds
like you saw it and uh he had a nice vibe about him i like yeah i saw that titanium video that
was really neat dude i was sitting there thinking i gotta see the 50 cal i gotta see the 50 cal and
he's like all right and for my last rifle here's armor piercing something
or other, it almost became illegal
because it's so good at piercing stuff
and I'm like no, no
how can you leave out the.50 cal
and I'm looking at how much time is left
you know, hoping that he's
got it out there and he does
he's like oh yeah I almost forgot my Barrett
and he shoots that thing
the log rolls away and whatever
uh the barrett he estimated that went 90 through but it it wasn't so much that i feel like i could
have made that same video but i don't know if i've got the the delivery that he has he did a good job
with that that's you know there there are lots of people who could just hit the
target six times like that wasn't the hard part yeah yeah I didn't expect the
titanium to just not completely fold under the 50 Cal with the armor piercing
maybe that's just like you know my video game knowledge of the bear 50 cowards
like always got FMJ on that you know it like an ancient core of thick, though.
It was pretty thick metal.
He kept thanking somebody for sending him
that titanium, which I don't know anything about
metals, but I guess it's hard to find
titanium like that.
I guess.
I know it's hard to work with.
Yeah, hard to machine.
And weld.
I'm not an expert in it but it is something about um
it it's extra sensitive to having the right gases around the welder it doesn't work right
there were some guys who made a um a titanium ar-15 like maybe three or four years ago and it
was incredibly expensive like maybe a hundred thousand dollars and a big part of the cost was how much tooling they went through to to make the thing because they were
just constantly going through bits and uh and stuff like that i guess there was i was really
into cycling when i was like a teenager yeah like late teens and um tiny titanium bicycle frames
were just becoming like the thing and part of the expense was how difficult
it was to weld it you know all the steel tooling and machinery that people had already didn't work
so yeah i finally watched the new it's always sunny ski episode and i i was watching it with
that thought in mind that you said kyle of like there was one spot that i laughed out loud from
like an ancillary character, and the only time I laughed
in that episode was when that one, that crazy
guy was yelling like, did you cum in my burrito?
Yes, yes, that's it, that's it,
yeah, that's the one laugh.
It's all downhill from here, because that's what Kyle
was referring to, undoubtedly.
It was, it was really
a bad episode. Probably the worst
episode of It's Always Sunny I've ever seen.
Do you think that if you were,
because I'm guessing maybe they are, if you were
a big fan of that genre
of movies, the 80s ski movie,
if that were your thing,
do you think you would have enjoyed the episode more?
Because I don't. I don't think so
either. It's easy to
discount it,
I guess, for me and you, since
we didn't grow up in the 80s.
I just don't like
that 80s humor.
The announcer that they kept joking
about where the guy's like, oh, Frank and them
trying to dig over the mountain or whatever.
Charlie's like, how does that guy know what's going on?
Like, ha ha ha, we get it. It's just another
Seth MacFarlane thing, which he's the
worst culprit of just hammering
80s jokes into the ground and it's
like they're not fucking working your movies are horrible your show has become shit you're awful
your teeth are too big everything about seth marlin they're so perfect they're so perfect and in huge
gigantic yeah he's got veneers yeah no yeah well now i want to see it because i've enjoyed a couple of those snow movies like
you know i want my two dollars and even like like like maybe i'm the demo it's targeted at
we'll see if it works there's a whole sex there's a whole sex montage with charlie and like i didn't
get a laugh out of that like i didn't think that was funny at all one of those 80 movies were like
softcore porn. You know?
I don't know how skiing and naked people go together.
This is virtually hardcore porn.
This was very hardcore.
I did get a little chuckle when I saw Mac skiing wearing his duster.
His duster?
You know, the trench coat.
I saw that.
And skiing well, of course, you know, because that's the thing.
Maybe there was a... I don't't know i didn't like the episode we've talked about it before but yeah bad episode
the worst in a very long time one of the top bottom three i saw your magazine in place yeah
that was kind of cool and i saw the so they poured do they pour those pads at the same time
no i poured uh that one one pad and some professionals came in
and did that big pad
because I don't have the special tools
you need to smooth it.
Something that is that big.
25 foot long squeegee.
Basically, yeah.
They did a good job though.
They got that part in.
We were discussing today
what kind of exterior walls he's going to do uh what kind of insulation and all that stuff he has some sort of
it's a pole barn construction it looks like right and he's pretty much yeah some exterior walls off
of that and get himself a man cave oh your dad's new place he's just building himself a small home
yeah like that's that's not even a man cave. I pictured a little shed thing where you see those
DIY videos or clips
on Imgur where it's like, oh, look what I did with
this tiny 8x8 shed. No.
Kyle's dad is building himself a second home
to escape the terror that is Kyle's
mom. That's absolutely what's
happening.
He's like, I'm going to shoot myself if I have to deal with this
bitch. What are you
going to do? Are you going to leave me? I'm going to shoot myself if I have to deal with this bitch. What are you going to do? Are you going to leave me?
I'm going to build my own house in the backyard.
With beer and drugs and shit.
Yeah, with beer and drugs and hookers.
How does the bender line go?
With wine and hookers?
I forget.
With beer and hookers.
Yeah, but that's a really cool setup he's got there.
Even already I can tell that's going
to be an awesome little fortress of solitude the hvac is going to make it i mean that's going to
be the thing so he's got a um the air conditioning system out of a motel room you know that that
that old units yeah that's both so we're gonna see how that works he's insulate he's doing spray
foam insulation and he's doing like a low uh flat roof because the pole barn's insulate he's doing spray foam insulation and he's doing like a low uh flat
roof the pole barn's tilted but he's doing a lowered like eight foot ceiling so he's spraying
insulation in the ceiling not the like phone the foam kind the not the like spray gonna have a bed
oh totally yeah yeah he's totally gonna put a bathroom in there put a bedroom in there
uh washer he like like you gotta keep in mind it it's not that big, so, like, the washer, dryer, bathroom is all one room, right?
So, like, you're sitting on the toilet, and the washer and dryer's right there.
Stacked units, maybe?
I doubt he's put any thought into it, but yeah, very good idea.
You think he's gonna have fun all day in his man man cave and then have to sulk out of there every night
to go get in bed with his wife?
No.
They've been doing separate bedrooms for like 10 years.
We've got a Ricky and Lucy situation going on.
Oh, yeah.
Seems like he could have separate houses if he wanted.
I think he just accomplished it.
Taylor's like, oh, he's going to have to go home.
I don't see the have to in this situation much at all.
He's got it built like a stone's throw from his shop there
where they work on cars and stuff.
So he already had a refrigerator and some basic running water and shit in there.
There was one time where he moved out of the house
back when they were talking about divorcing.
This has been a couple years ago now,
where over there in his shop, was he just put in a shower he just put in a shower head just right
there onto the concrete floor he was like fuck it fuck it i'll go i'll go caveman with this i don't
care he was just blowing up an air mattress putting in the bed of his truck he's hardcore
he doesn't care how old is he though 62 see it he'll start to like at 62 i feel like you can go caveman and not give a flip right
because you're 62 yeah you still have your remaining like athleticism whatever just seven
years from now he'll be in a different place physically probably a bona fide old man yeah
yeah totally um well he'll have his second little home over there to to hang out in
um i think you should throw a big like housewarming rager for a couple days as soon as it starts and
don't invite your mom or sister to where they're hearing like from the house when they're in there
open the door when they come knocking
telling you to keep it down.
What, mom?
The second house to get away from you.
That's what's more likely,
that he'll have a 9 p.m. jam fest
with two other dudes in there.
Somebody's playing the harmonica
and somebody's playing the guitar
and somebody's playing fiddle or something.
Washboard.
It starts off slow.
The jug. Yeah. With the three X's on it. or something yeah washboard it starts off slow some dude just they were the jug
all i can do
but uh but i think the whole thing's funny i'm gonna help him a little bit getting the
thing set up because i was already getting to him. I'm like, don't get a satellite
dish over here. That's stupid. I was like, get an
internet line and you'll have Netflix
and Hulu and all the
programming that exists in the world will be
here and you'll be able to watch it.
So I think he's going to run an internet line
and I got a bunch of leather chairs.
How long is the line?
Not that long.
You should only go for internet.
Can you estimate in yards? It seems to be an old person staple satellite tv is that just something i've noticed maybe 300 oh yeah it's pretty long
line i guess i think they'll pay to run it out they they paid to run the one to his house and
it's longer oh so it would be the cable company running it from
somewhere yeah huh you'd have to get a new line run there because there's never
been service before I thought he was like running it from his house oh no no
certainly not no wouldn't want to patch into mama's internet she wouldn't like
that at this point why not just get a divorce?
Like, you're not living together.
You made your own.
It was so rough at him for some point that he first had to conquer the thought of,
I'm going to build my own house in the back.
No, you're going to build your own house outside of your own house?
She's going to run you out of here?
No, I'm the man of this house.
You're not running me out.
And over time, just worn down by the constant nags just eroding
Dignity that he just was like I'm building by a fucking on my own house in the backyard of my house
I think he just did a cost analysis. I feel like he just looked at his like
Let's see a divorce will cost me this plus I could build a new house for like 10 grand if he wants to waffle back
And forth this is a way cheaper
solution right like a divorce costs a lot but if he wants to get a couple of them you know like
remarry every few years right and you laugh but this has been the track record thus far
then no so all right so well he's 62 but he's been married to my mother for 35 years or something
what i was trying to describe was his relationship with your mom
kind of runs hot and cold.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I wasn't saying that he's got tons of wives.
No, no.
I was saying that if every, say, five years he runs hot and cold
and oscillates back and forth like that, then this is a great solution.
He can have a free divorce and then just undivorce a year or two later that's that's what i was getting at i don't think he's planning on
like living there in any capacity i really think he wants like a place to hang out i know this
winter was there was a few days we got really cold and like nobody wanted to hang out over the shop
and uh and i think that may have spurred some of it on. But he's also got a lot of money that he's won playing poker.
And he's pretty flush.
And he's just like, I'd like to have a man cave over there.
He didn't know what a man cave was.
He described a man cave.
And I was like, that's a man cave.
I was like, that'll be good.
Yeah, let's do that.
So I've got a bunch of stuff I'm going to take over there.
I'm going to, I got, definitely I got a TV of stuff i'm gonna take over there i'm gonna i i got um definitely i got
a i got a tv he can put in over there and uh but i'm gonna i got a bunch of lights and uh and chairs
and i think i'm gonna put my pool table over there i think that'd be good to get one of those
little rascals like he-man woman haters club oh yeah that's basically what they got going on over
there anyway um you know it's you need to make it official a no girls allowed sign written in like a sixth graders handwriting i backwards ease
you know no reason the rest of it's a posh professional home and it's shitty little i'm
sure they would accept some women over there but but it would be the kind that you would pay or
something only sluts allowed yeah also written in a fourth grader's hand yeah that they might do yeah that they might do um uh oh we got our fireplace i'm sure people
aren't interested in fireplace talk but it's a big deal for me it was just installed uh maybe
six hours ago so have you christened it with a burn yet or is the flu still setting these are good questions i know so we
what we have to do is a small burn a medium burn and then we can really let it on fire so it's
doing the medium burn as we speak that's very cool something to do with like we had to let like
basically put a small fire in there and then let it cool down to room temperature to which i almost got and then
um uh now it's on its second fire the medium fire we'll let it cool and then tonight we'll just
get our raging fire going they make uh have you ever used that that stuff you buy that you put
in a can in a fire and it makes it burn like all different colors like a rainbow actually plastic
i am i have it on my wish list. I just somehow decided not to buy it.
Big pens do that.
I heard if you put a copper pipe in a garden hose,
it puts a really interesting show on.
I haven't tried it yet.
Interesting.
They make that stuff.
I've got it at Walmart before, but it comes in a little tube.
I've ordered off Amazon once before, too, and went camping,
and I just put it all out there.
The fire kind of turns into a rainbow fire i was thinking about doing that i am but we didn't i didn't get it yet yeah i was bouncing i was looking at like
fire supplies and my my cart was up to like 70 dollars in like starters and kindling and stuff
i was like all right you know the the original intent behind this thing was free heat when you start spending 70 on dumb ass amazon things you're you're taking a step
yeah you're like man it's gonna be so great i'm gonna save so much money on heating
oh a pack of 200 fire starters for 200 yeah yeah yeah you're gonna end up spending more money
we can turn the fire purple so So we'll ease it in.
Yeah.
I'm hoping to,
I think,
so all right,
so I get my new flamethrowers tomorrow,
the new and improved versions.
So I'm definitely going to send you
like a new and improved one
as your flamethrower or whatever.
So whenever I'm done with it,
you can have it.
What I'm curious about is
these two other ones that they sent along
if they're going to want them back because they haven't
mentioned it and you know they're the old
model so like what do they need them for
right like what are you going to retrofit
them I've been using them pretty
exactly but it's not
so I wish that I
knew for sure so I could just fucking sell them
you know because it's like what am I doing
at this point I have my backpack flamethrower and then I have I wish that I knew for sure so I could just fucking sell them, you know, because it's like, what am I doing?
At this point, I have my backpack flamethrower and then I have, well, minus the one I'm giving you, three handheld ones.
What's new about the new ones?
They shoot a wider flame and they shoot farther with a wider flame.
It'd be great if there was a piece like, oh, oh yeah the rubber nozzle in the back is now metal and you could be like oh i had to destroy it the rubber nozzle didn't hold up oh like yeah that's
just gone now yeah i think they just made them more badass like they they made them more power
they're not adding features you know cup holders and iphone slots on your flame like that's all
they can do oh Oh my god,
they're releasing the X4. What's going to be
different? Well, it's going to shoot fire further
and more. That's the
only thing they can improve on a flamethrower.
iPhone holders are a good idea.
One thing I've wanted to do on there
because it's all
machined on the outside stuff. I'd like to mount
a gun to it or it to a gun.
You know what I mean? I don't know which. I don't know what you mean. I've mount a gun to it or it to a gun. You know what I mean?
Like, I don't know which.
No, I don't know what you mean.
I've never thought this flamethrower needs a gun.
Yeah.
So, like, I wish I had one handy.
They're upstairs.
But, you know, you got your flamethrower.
And I figured, like, if it had a gun on top, maybe I could control it here with, like,
a bicycle, you know, mechanism.
And when I shoot, you know, have a laser sight so I can sight in. And I can shoot and burn at the same time. So, I'm, I have a laser sight so I can sight in and I can shoot and burn
at the same time. So I'm shooting paint
cans and as they're vaporizing, the
flamethrower is igniting them.
That's like a Geneva Convention compliant flamethrower.
It's like, oh, he's on fire. Shoot him!
Shoot him right now!
It was banned by every country on planet Earth.
Even the
Neptune Alliance said that it was inhumane did you hear about the
shooting at the hospital or something there was a hoax at the uh in san diego at some sort of naval
uh it was a hoax yeah it turned out it was a hoax oh well then i'm not up to date
my wife was just telling me the facebook posts were like scary for her. They didn't sugarcoat it at all.
They said you need to either hide, run, or fight back.
And they were communicating to people in the hospital via Facebook.
And I thought, that's great.
Chiz and I have had this argument before.
Chiz thinks that it's absolutely ridiculous to take down a gunman.
So it came up because Ben Carson said that if he was in that situation, he would have rushed a gunman so it came up because ben carson said that if he was in that
situation he would have rushed the gunman and uh i like to think that in the right situation i would
too right so yeah let's say hypothetically you're locked in like a classroom or something and there's
no exits maybe you're on the third floor fourth floor fourth floor. And so you're sort of hiding in the classroom, and you're, you know.
Girls, take off your shirt.
We'll make a row.
All of you.
Your bras, too.
We need them.
You made a weapon out of the fire extinguisher.
You're next to the door, and if he walks through,
you clonk him in the head.
Because while, you know, I think the first option is running away.
I feel like that's your best bet.
You can quickly put 100 yards behind you, and at that point it's pretty hard to hit a running man.
Most of us can.
A lot of us can.
So that's a thing.
In 10 seconds, you're 100 yards away.
I hope something like that.
I don't know.
15 seconds.
Fuck it.
Don't quote me.
Some people can't make it that far.
But you put some distance between you and the shooter running away,
like it's a good thing, get around the corner, et cetera.
Second best option may be to hide, you know,
because rushing a guy with a gun is a dangerous activity.
You know, second best option probably isn't zipping down the hallway
seeing if that 21-foot rule is right or not, you know.
It's not tested if we don't have to.
But third option, you know,'s not tested if we don't have to but third option you know it the
the worst option my last option is that like sit there while a guy with a pump shotgun you know
like shoot load shoot load does that on 72 victims in a row and you're sitting there at 73 thinking
like oh well i guess my time is up.
I hope he didn't buy three full boxes.
Oh, I didn't even do the dozen.
Yeah.
So, you know, like.
You could bludge into death.
Give it a go.
When Ben Carson said that he would arrest the shooter.
Maybe you'll get tired.
No hard feelings.
Fighting back is not the dumbest of the dumb ideas.
There's a situation where it fits.
You could always go MacGyver.
You could make some kind of makeshift weapon.
It depends on the scenario.
If there's a scenario for you to gain a tactical advantage over the bad guy,
especially if there's not an open back door behind you, yeah, sure.
If you can clonk this guy in the back of the head with something hard or, you
know, you can stab him with a knife or, you know, name a thing.
I'm not saying if you're in the middle of a grassy field and he's 70 feet from you,
you're supposed to rush him to prove your manhood.
That's a terrible idea.
Oh, an arrow.
But if, yeah, right.
You know, construction.
But there is a time when fighting back is the best option and oh yeah uh i don't know i i've talked to chiz about it and he would probably
backpedal on this if he was here and be like oh well no i'll admit if there's no escape or whatever
but we've talked about it the scenario where where people are literally killing a lot of them in a row,
and he said I was victim-blaming when they didn't do anything to defend themselves.
I was talking to Chiz last night about what we were going to do in Colorado.
I was like, you've got a risk board, right? I was like, bring your risk board.
I think it would be fun to play risk because there's going to be a bunch of us there.
Kitty's got some friends.
Do you know who you're playing with?
I'd love to learn.
I mean, who better to learn from? Oh, don't play on the first day of your there. Kitty's got some friends. Do you know who you're playing with? I'd love to learn. I mean, who better to learn from?
Don't play
on the first day of your trip.
I'm telling you, Chiz played
a lot of board games with my family
and my family just kicked the
fuck out of Dr. Chiz at every game.
Colin beat him at Monopoly.
Hope beat him in poker.
My mother-in-law,
unbeknownst to us, battling like four layers of cancer, beat him in Jim Rummy.
Jackie beat him.
Everyone beat him at Uno.
But in Risk, he can play.
The man can play Risk.
That's one of the reasons I brought Risk up.
I'd heard him mention it before.
So I want to play Risk with him, try to learn how to play the game.
risk up. I'd heard it mentioned, or him mentioned it before, so I want to play Risk with him, try to learn how
to play the game.
I'm hoping that it's a civilization
board game, but I know it's not quite that
cool.
Probably. And I was talking about
some activities to do and stuff, and in my head,
in the back of my head, I was thinking maybe
snow tubing
is probably the most extreme thing I'm
looking to do on this trip. I really
don't want to go snowboarding,
and I only will if I get drugged along on it.
You know, someone brought that up.
We went that one time.
Were you with us?
I was still arriving.
You were still arriving, yeah.
So three couples of us went out and got three or four snowmobiles,
and I think it's like $300 for a couple hours or something
when you're getting multiple snowmobiles. But it wasn't that much fun. It really wasn't.
You know, I'm used to driving ATVs a lot, like at my dad's place. And you know, as fast
as I can go jumping like those terraces, so you're always getting air and having fun and
I like turning them sideways and we'd roll them over all the time. But out there, it's like, all right, guys, we're going to be going up a steep hill now.
And it's just like, oh, fuck.
Oh, did you have a tour guide?
Had a tour guide.
Oh, so you're like putting around.
Oh, that sucks.
I would hang way in the back.
Oh, yeah, exactly.
But I got in the back because who was with us who couldn't do?
Oh, this is actually kind of a funny story.
So Kitty's cousin JJ was there who'd never driven a vehicle of any kind before.
Think about that for a second because all of us, even as a child,
probably had that little 6-volt powered plastic car.
No, they didn't have that in my childhood.
We pedaled our cars.
Yeah, sure.
But we've all been in scooters and go-karts and shit like that.
He had never piloted a vehicle of any kind before.
Nothing that was non-self-propelled.
He'd ridden a bicycle, and that was as close as...
How old is he?
22, something like that.
So he's the driver, and Kitty's riding with him.
And, oh, my God, he drove so slow
that the rest of us were just pulling our fucking hair out.
So I got in the back, and the guide would guide JJ
way the fuck off till it was nighttime when we were doing this.
And we could just see the red of their taillights,
and then we would just haul ass as fast as ours would go,
like, down a hill to try to...
And maybe get up to 55 miles an hour but it just wasn't cool to me i i thought it was lame that's
so that's the same thing you have to do when you go skiing like in a group with younger people
where it's like all right you guys go ahead you know i'll wait until you're a teeny little dot
in the distance and then i'll go so that i can have a little bit of fun trying to catch you and
like pretend i'm like a james bond assassin like trying to catch you and pretend I'm a James Bond assassin
trying to catch up so I can get you.
Just whatever games you play in your head.
It was so lame because he was so bad at it.
But you can't say anything because he's
doing his best. He's literally afraid.
You don't just, come on, pussy!
That's not how you motivate someone.
Then at what point is that pulled out of your repertoire?
Exactly!
We're all grown-ass men.
I can't like shame this guy publicly.
But in my head, I'm looking into my girl.
I'm like, what a fucking pussy.
What is this shit?
So I don't want to do that.
But I think I told Chiz, I was like, you know,
I think I'd like to build a snowman
because I haven't had many opportunities
to build a legit snowman in my life.
Like maybe two. And I was a child and needed a parent's assistance i'd like to build my
own fucking snowman not that great yes i would rather watch the revenant again sure okay the
snowman thing in your head it's always like i know from when i was a kid maybe a huge downpours
it'd be like in your head like man it's gonna be so dope we're gonna get out there i'm gonna make
the big bottom one you know you do the other one like tell my brothers and my friends and then you
get out there and like you realize that like the bottom one you made is like oblong and shitty and
like there's a big crack and you're trying to like spit and reseal it and you're like you know what
what are we doing and it's picked up dead leaves so it's ugly as fuck and yeah yeah and it's not quite round like it is on tv mom do we have a carrot no
yeah right it's an old celery it's got a stick nose and stick ears and broken stick lips
for his mouth but i i want to do it and but it was funny he wrote back he was like
that's within my wheelhouse.
And I was thinking like, is that at the limit of your wheelhouse?
I think it is.
I think that's what he was intimating to me.
I think he was saying that he was like, I just want to chill.
And chill, I think, means like, he said, let's just make sure that we bring a Roku.
Netflix and chill has been ruined.
It has been.
Yeah.
I like Netflixing and chilling a lot.
There doesn't have to be any sex involved.
Literally Netflix and chill.
That's a thing now.
The other thing I've thought about doing
is I've seen people make igloos
where they have a box and they compact the snow
and they have a whole setup
where you can make the snow blocks.
I think that'd be fun too. I'm gonna be there for like five full days of just hanging out in a cabin with
snow outside like i'm gonna have to come up with something fun good luck with the igloo thing we
did that when we were kids and we got like like in our heads like imagining it we pictured like
a palace of course like this this ice fortress that comes spring we'd have to you know
surrender to the elements but it was so great but of course we get like four hours into it like a
lot of work for a kid like a group of five kids got like the walls like this high ish you know
a couple feet and then we got so lazy and couldn't figure out how to get the rest of the snow on
there because we just took the snow from the surrounding area and built it into the walls, and it was like,
well, now we've got to get, like, a wheelbarrow
and bring the snow over here.
I'm trying to run an import business,
and so we just took a bunch of scrap pieces
of plastic and laid it over
the top, and then it was, like, three minutes
of me and, like, the two friends that could fit in there, like,
laying right next to each other, a little gay underneath
because we couldn't sit up and be like, hey, guys, wasn't
this neat? Wasn't this neat, what what we did we've had more success than that
i've built several igloos um but never out of blocks like kyle's talking about like you know
where you sort of like put them together and and there's an arch involved and they're sustained
because they're arch like no no no what we were able to do though is find a giant fucking
pile of snow typically like but from a plow or something yeah and dig out an igloo burrow and
then we would use that as like the base that'd be like a pyramid of snowballs and we'd like throw
them out and hide in there and then like it's so thick it like no human could throw a snowball
through the side of this thing like not only of a machine could get it done.
So we're in there hiding and throwing out and whatever. And they don't want to come in
because there's like four of us in there. You can't win that way either.
So we would have dug out snow fortresses. Until, of course, some adult would explain
the suffocation risk, which was not my concern at all.
Could have installed some ventilation, a little six-inch PVC, jam it in from the top,
we're good to go. No, there's a door. You can crawl in and out.
You kind of get on your hands and knees, but the problem is the top could fall.
And there's your issue. They warn you about the same thing with sand on the beach.
Those kids, that was always something my parents warned me about. Don't just dig a hole
straight down to where your head's in there digging and i'm like if you see me
digging a hole straight into the ground i want you to let me die because there's i'm a drain on
society like i've been to the beach and i've seen those little like wiry children just like they're
they're on a mission their heads all the way down there it could collapse at any moment and then
they're just legs having spent a lot of time at the beach i have never seen
sand collapse on anyone let me tell you if you try to dig like a cylinder straight down
in no time at all you will have an arched hole that like the the it's soft sand it just comes
filling in you can't square off your edges like you're like yeah like a like a marine building
you know his uh it's foxhole or anything
you you build a a hole and then in no time at all just like the corners fall off and now you've got
like a big sort of ditch type thing yeah it's not like there's a big cabal of like seven-year-old
sand miners like you know in that cavern underground like you know shuddering every
time a fat guy walks overhead because the ceiling could come down on him like a mine like that's not nobody it's not like if you dig next
to a sand dune the sand dude's gonna come collapsing on you no no it'll just like one
grain of sand at a time the entire way every time you disturb it at all it just slides you know
something stupid i did do today as we're as i'm saying kill me if I dig a hole in the sand. I was making bacon this morning, and I was about to just, like, right after the grease,
I was about to, because I had it in a small pan, so it was, like, pretty deep of the grease.
It was pretty fatty bacon.
And I was like, oh, I'm just going to clean this in the sink.
And I was like, oh, I'm not supposed to do that.
You're not supposed to pour a bunch of bacon grease in the sink.
I'm just going to walk over to the trash can and pour it in the garbage.
And so, of course, I didn't even't even think like this is the reason this is
liquid. It's a 300 degree oil that I'm holding in my hand. And so I just walk over, you know,
my bacon's ready, ready to be eaten, still hot prime eating time. I just pour it into
the trash can and it just goes. And the whole trash, like the whole rim of the trash bag just melted out and all the trash
fell into the trash can itself just covered in bacon grease and other rancid garbage and so
while i'm smelling my delicious bacon i had to spend like 20 minutes like an asshole scrubbing
out the bottom of my trash can just a thick goopy grease all over i do you ever do i'm glad it didn't
burn you the trash can i pour it right down the fucking sink that's where it goes yeah I supposed to do that gallons at a time
for years for years if it my technique works you get that scalding hot water
pour in there behind it little little dawn little dish detergent it's gone
while the pipes are screaming I bet Kyle might be right
Dude Dawn and Purell
But Dawn especially is magic stuff
The way that it cuts grease
They use that to clean ducks when they get oil on them
That's a real thing
That's the only thing they use is Dawn
If I'm ever in that situation I will use Dawn
An oily duck
This duck is filthy If you see an oily duck and there hasn't
recently been a spill then you shouldn't even feel bad for it you know it's like what did you
what have you done what did you get into you stupid penguin another another
but yeah i'm looking forward to this colorado thing we're gonna we gotta figure out um how to
work pka around the trip.
Because I'm not sure what the internet is like there yet.
I don't know.
It does have internet.
That place does that we're going.
But is it mountain internet?
Or is it like 10 megabit?
I don't know.
You leave in a couple days?
At the end of the month.
Who could you ask?
About the days? No, about the internet. Kitty of the month. Who could you ask? About the days?
No, about the internet.
Can you book the place?
I guess she could maybe call and ask what the speed was.
Get that done.
Oh, she had an update on the knives.
The knife company is back to SHOT Show.
So the gears are once again moving forward.
So they're on project.
I saw some SHOT Show videos here and there they were all bad
like this is the dumbest accessory at shot show i bet if i walked around shot show looking for
something cool i would find 19 stupid things for every cool one what's shot show it's um i can't
remember what it stands for it's a it's a it's a giant expo with everything. Guns, ammunition companies.
They have sporting goods sections.
They do it at the Sands Expo Casino in Vegas.
It's a big convention where they show off their new products and their old products.
Shooting, hunting, outdoor...
Target?
Trucks!
I don't know what the ticket is.
But it's the SHOT Show.
And it's massive like
people come in from all around the world i've been to like four of them i think i didn't we
talked about going this year but it's just so awful i hate it i really do hate going i've never
enjoyed it there's so much cool shit there though um there's every year there's just bizarre things
that don't really have a purpose and don't even work
Then there's bizarre things that kind of have a purpose and are just really cool
And then there's like cutting edge, you know breaking new shit
That's that's like oh now everything has changed this this nine millimeter holds four extra bullets than any ever
Than any ever could before the special triple stack magazine or whatever
But the cool thing I've talked about it before that I saw,
one of my favorite things.
Well, there's a thermal iPhone cover for one thing.
You put your iPhone in this case and it gives it thermal vision.
The case is the thermal and it's like $200 or $300, really cheap.
Cheapest thermal on the market.
But the other thing was this border fence um disorientation light
and it looks like a spotlight it's big and it's mounted to the table and we're talking to the
guys behind the counter and they're they're like yeah they use it at the border fence you know
they shine it on people it's very disorienting and they fall off the fence when they when they
hit them with this light and i was like could you shoot me with it yeah because i'm not buying it
yet i was like can i can i try this out and he's like well i can't shoot me with it yeah because i'm not buying it yet i was like
can i can i try this out and he's like well i can't shoot you with it and my buddy's like
can i shoot him with it and they're like yeah oh yeah you can shoot him with it
so like i just take a few steps back and he hits me with this thing and it was so disorienting
it was like it was difficult to tell like up from down it was like you know when like
a flash goes off in your eyes and there's that brief period of recovery where your eyes are
trying your like your pupils are trying to readjust it was you were getting flashed at such with the
flashes were coming mega bright blinking light it's a mega yeah it's like a strobe but the um
the strobe that it's strobing at,
the specific frequency that it's
at, apparently, messes with
people. That's what it felt
like. It felt like my
eyes and my brain had almost
enough time to fully recover from each flash,
but then another one would come, and I was just constantly
in a jumbled state. Mexico should buy
a thousand of these for Trump.
I was nauseous for an hour after that. constantly in a jumbled state mexico should buy a thousand of these for trump i was sick for my
i was nauseous for an hour after that like this big like very big light that you have to hold
down here my buddies uh i picture it mounted like on a um a turret or something the one i've seen
you can carry but it's like a huge light and it had the strobe effect and uh we were like 17 at
my buddy's house and his parents
were like so fucking ridiculously rich and a little paranoid that like they had guns and this
defensive flashlight that like you held like a gatling gun and like he brought it out one time
just to show us and we were like oh that's awesome he's like yeah like watch this went out in his
yard and he turned it on and like pointed it up in the air and it it was unreal like you could you
couldn't see the end
of the light uh if you were standing close to it you could feel the heat like it was so hot and
i was like pointed at uh pointed at ted over there and he's like no no no he's like all right
pointed at me first so you can see what it does and i pointed it at him the strobe function wasn't
even on but like as soon as you like hit somebody's face with that, with your eyes closed, because they did it on me afterward,
it's as if your eyes are fully open looking at the sun.
You turn away. It's like the light comes through the back of your head and hits your eyes.
You can't escape it.
It's really unsettling living your whole life thinking,
if I shut my eyes, if something's too bright, then it goes away.
But no, your eyelids are bullshit
compared to this
it goes right through right and it's
like I mean I can't imagine with a strobe
you'd be like oh like about to seize out but even
with this it was so hot on your face
and you're beating up sweat like it's
it's awful wow
I wonder what it cost
so they make the unit and it comes with
on the border patrol they fences they have like
a camera attached so it can record what happens so if they're if they're shooting the thing it's
recording he's like we got tons of footage dude they're falling off backwards doing somersaults
tumbling it's great i was like why don't you put that shit on youtube man it'd be a hit he's like
oh no we can't do that we can't sync it up with that Let the Bodies Hit the Floor
song.
All I need is a 13-year-old
Call of Duty montage maker
and they'll have it.
That'd be a fun video game.
Pauses, you're glistening across the top
of the wall.
Great idea.
Here's how you make some money.
Get this app in production right now. top of the wall. Oh, it just came up with a great idea. Here's how you make some money, Woody.
Get this app in production right now.
What's that game?
It's a really simple app-style game where it's border defense or base defense or something
where you use all those bombs and things to defend and the enemies are coming in a pattern
that you know.
Does this make sense?
Like a tower defense game?
Tower defense.
That.
Do tower defense, but it's Border Patrol.
It's Mexicans.
Do a tower defense game, but you're Donald Trump.
Yeah, after Trump wins the nomination.
Oh, your character could even have like the hair right like it doesn't
necessarily have to be trump oh yeah but you could be a special unit you deploy a unit of trump's
once you hit like x star power and they just go through and beat the shit out of all the illegals
all the way through it's like you should make this app that ted nugent you know how much money
oh yeah oh that's great woody ted nug is there. There's a lot of hyper-conservative people.
We could get Ted Nugent to...
I bet for like five grand, you could get Ted Nugent
to be part of the game.
Who's the other guy?
He used to argue with
Pierce Morgan a lot.
Alex Jones, maybe?
Oh, he's like a...
Yeah, he's the complete
conspiracy theorist guy.
Him and Jesse Ventura are so far beyond.
I don't think of Ventura in the same...
Ventura's not, like, crazy conservative, though.
Like, he...
Yeah.
He's uncompromising.
He's nutty.
Yeah, I almost agree with him being conservative,
but he's more nutty than anything.
Yeah, yeah, he's, like,
he's so into the 9-11 conspiracy.
He's been on Stern a number of times,
and his interviews are always...
He's very nutty.
I watch him on ONA every so often
when he and Jim Norton get in a huge fight over something
where he eventually just storms out
because Norton wasn't putting up with his stuff
because he kept doing his thing where he was talking about being a Navy seal
and the paint and just all this nonsense.
And just the slightest bit of critique on those silly little conspiracy
theories.
And they completely fall apart and the person ends up getting angry.
Um,
I don't know.
But then again,
what do I know?
There could be a whole other side of the moon unexplored,
uh, with rich people living there.
You would know.
That's my speed test result.
That's my house.
That's outrageous.
Great.
I had these big issues where I couldn't download more than like five or ten.
I called them and they wouldn't fix it.
And they're supposed to send a guy out.
The guy didn't come.
Like everything was messed up.
And things seemed to be getting better.
And then sure enough, 250 down.
I just stopped myself because I realized what I was about to say was stupid.
But I was going to say I didn't realize internet numbers could get that high.
Yeah.
I didn't know you could even get internet that good.
Hundreds?
Yeah.
250 down.
Well, that's what we talk about about like gigabit like we're
talking about a thousand megabits yeah that'd be a thousand down it'd be great jesus yeah that's
strong yeah yeah just can't compete with that how fast can you upload like i don't like if it was
i guess pka how long does it take you to upload pka i'm not sure i'll have to test it again and
see if i really get that next upload but um the last one just went wrong like i woke up in the morning
and it was still uploading it said it had 750 minutes left which like i don't even know what
that is 750 divided by 60 i guess 12 and a half hour hours so um uh i just i just kicked off the next upload and it was done right away it just sort of broke
paused i don't know so uh yeah i don't know but yeah my internet seems to be fixed we'll see if
that stays fixed or what the scoop is but i'm i'm excited nice um oh and another i don't know
if i ever told you about this this is another another thing I saw at SHOT Show last year that was pretty neat. They make Derringer-style single-shot pistols
in rifle calibers.
This one company does.
So you can get a.308 pistol that's about this big,
and it breaks down, one.308 bullet goes in,
you snap it back together,
and now you have a fucking Derringer 308 or 223 i've been thinking
about a new um carry pistol like uh like i need one but the one i have is fine but there's a new
one maybe the new ruger lcp the custom one with the red trigger that supposedly has a much better
trigger hiccup loves it um or the uh Who makes the one with the top that breaks?
It's a.32, not a.380.
Beretta makes it.
And that thing looked really neat.
I'd like something that's hammer-fired.
I don't know.
I should probably do nothing, because...
I want a Colt 1903.
I never shoot anything.
Let me...
I still seem to need it.
Anyway.
Colt 1903. What is this? Yeah. It's a Google Bad. That's all I still seem to need it. Colt 1903.
What is this?
Yeah, Google that.
That's all I'm going to do anyway.
Colt 1903.
So it is a hammerless 32 ACP.
If you watched Boardwalk Empire,
this is what Jimmy Darmody was always rocking.
Why do you want this?
380.
I think it's cool.
It's a hammerless
1911. Now, is it hammerless
or does the hammer just not stick out all the time?
It's hammerless. I've never shot a 380.
What's the recoil like on 380
ACP? It's like a 9.
But oftentimes
380s... I don't know if you know, but the 380, the diameter is nearly exactly the same as a 9.
But it's a little shorter, so there's slightly less gunpowder behind it.
And some people call it a short 9.
Is that what they say, Kyle?
I've never heard that.
Something like that.
It's a thing, I think.
Oh, yeah.
So it released,
originally it was in a 32 ACP, but then
the Colt Model 1908 pocket
hammerless variant five years later
was in 380 ACP, and that's what I prefer
now that I look at it.
But yeah, I like the way this looks.
I like that it's old, you know,
an old style thing. I feel like
I'd be the only one carrying
one, and they seem to work.
And the 380 is good enough.
I think.
I think they're like $700 in like
average condition because obviously it's a really old gun.
And there might be somebody
I think I saw a while back making like
you know new versions
of those things but i never trust those
yeah oh i talked to my dad about um generators today so i was i was wrong about his generators
i thought he had a six kilowatt and an eight kilowatt but he's got a 60 kilowatt and an 80
kilowatt because he had to have 120 kilowatt minimum.
He said that his thought, I guess, was kind of similar to mine that that you should wire it where the electricity comes off the pole, not, you know, inside with the boxes.
I actually a window cracked here.
It just got so cold.
So I had a contractor out and we were looking at the outside boxes,
and we thought that might be a lot more possible than we thought it was before.
Because I have three circuit breakers, it's a little tricky.
Most of them are really only designed to power two,
so I might need more than one unit.
It gets to be, like, once you're 15 grand into this thing, right,
with, like, a couple generators and maybe some power, some labor.
$15,000 seems like you could get started on a solar project.
Like you start thinking, like let's go the other way.
Let's say you were $30,000 into it and we're going to do the deluxe system that we had talked about a year ago.
$30,000.
At the end of it, all you have is a generator that burns a ton of propane.
And if the power goes out all day, you're out like $300.
Why not get a diesel or diesel, right?
But why not go solar where whatever you're out,
15 grand or 30 grand to start with,
but it makes your power bill lower forever.
And if you're out, you know, it serves the same purpose.
At least there's some payback with solar.
I think the solar is a really good idea.
And maybe get yourself a wind turbine out there.
That might be fun too.
But I don't think that the generator is necessarily
as costly as it seems like it has been.
Because here's what I would do.
Let me know if your plan differs from what I think
wouldn't work.
You come off the power line there, and you have another box there that you put on some posts or whatever,
so that you can throw the power when it's out.
Off your generator, you've got some 4-0 wire running out there and connecting straight to that,
and then that runs in and goes to the three different boxes.
You wouldn't even have to run the big gauge wire
to each box.
Yeah, I'm not an expert.
I thought I was tapping in one level lower.
You got the power line that goes to the house,
then it goes to this box that has a padlock on it,
and it says Duke Energy or something.
Yeah, we're going to that box.
So that one goes to three 200-amp boxes
that are only like this big for radio guys.
They're six inch by eight inches.
Yeah, but we'll go to the big one
and then even though those are only 200 amp or whatever,
they'll only draw what they need.
It's not like there's gonna be a surge.
Oh, that's my brother.
Yeah, ask him.
I think you can't go to the one you wanna go to.
I think that one you're not allowed to touch. I think you need call the power company i think maybe that's what maybe that's what my dad
did because that's what he's got like it comes down from the power thing and there's a big box
there with the meter on it and the lock and all that stuff and that's where this thing goes to
and there's a separate box there where the big one of those big switches you you like pop off to like
break the current and sure doesn't go from the meter box to his to
something else it's possible but but but um i know it's he's coming right off the line um
he's hooking up right there like at the initial thing like he's he's not skipping over anything
um but as far as the generator like i think you could get by with a much, much smaller generator too. I feel like you could get by with a one kilowatt generator if you just needed to power a few little things.
But a five kilowatt, I feel like, would power a ton of shit.
All your lights and air conditioning and everything.
You just wouldn't use the dryer.
I think if you want to power a lot of stuff at a house
level you're talking about five or eight kilowatts well you wouldn't you know it'd be an emergency
scenario you definitely wouldn't like wash clothes or maybe use the dishwasher but you'd keep your
refrigerator running and your computers and electronics and lights and ac your brother's
who you should ask about this because he would know specifically
what the cost would be
and the hardware and all that stuff.
The wire would have a...
You'd have to put some underground
wire in.
But I feel like the solar thing
seems like a great idea too.
If you want to spend that much money.
I just feel like you could get a generator system in that would keep your house going in emergencies for like a couple thousand dollars.
That's right.
I flip all over the map.
But it's like, you know, if we could just get like a fan going to distribute like the fireplace heat.
Keep the refrigerator and the well pump going.
Septic.
Then, you know, we pump going. The septic.
We're warm.
We have water.
And it's rarely out for long periods of time where you're like, yeah, all right,
shut everything down.
We have to turn the oven on.
That's not going to happen.
Right.
Yeah, and it's not prepping for the apocalypse.
No, no.
It's just prepping for if there's a storm.
36 hours is as long as I'd ever expect to be out of power.
With that in mind, the solar seems pretty pricey for what you're getting.
Yeah, yeah.
And heck, might not even work very well in the snow.
Yeah.
Call it a show?
Yeah, I think so.
That was good.
That was fun.
All right.

Thank you, Patreons.
