And we're recording PKA, I'm sorry, PKN episode 92.
Mistakes were made.
Yeah, Taylor couldn't, thank you for jumping right in.
He wasn't, Kyle wasn't gonna...
It's Cindy's fault again.
There's no need to blame Taylor.
Cindy, I'm guessing, I'm just blaming her for the hell of it.
But they rescheduled my flights and I had to fly home today
rather than tomorrow, which was originally scheduled.
So that meant that we had to fly home today, uh, rather than tomorrow, which was originally scheduled. So,
uh,
that meant that we had to record this kind of late at night.
So Taylor's at a blues game,
I think,
right.
Watching them lose at this point,
he's already watched them lose.
So if we're lucky,
come home and jump on.
Is it a,
is it over?
It's,
it's like scores final.
The clock ran out.
Ah,
okay.
Yeah.
They lost.
So they,
they were down two nothing
and then in the third they went down three nothing and i don't know like what the scoop
was if they like pulled the goalie or something and they eventually lost four nothing so
that's a shame season i think the series is tied one to is. Yeah, yeah. So they won 2-1. They lost 4-0.
I think the Blues are going to win.
They might win in five.
I don't know.
I think they're going to win handily.
But I could be off.
Who knows?
Have you seen Captain America yet?
I have.
It was really good. It was good.
Yeah.
You know what?
I think the plot of it was just fine.
Yeah. But that's what plot of it was just fine. Yeah.
But that's what I mean. It was fine.
It wasn't a twist and turn. It wasn't dramatic.
Over the complicated.
It wasn't complicated.
It wasn't a love story.
It wasn't a love story.
It wasn't even like a real winner come from behind or any of that.
It was just a vehicle in which to get all these people to have action
scenes. Yeah, I mean, it
happens in the comics. It is canon.
But, and I
guess the plot moves a little closer to
the Infinity Wars. You know, now
that we've kind of got Spider-Man into the fold,
which is great. I think their deal with
them is that Marvel now has
creative control over Spider-Man, but
Fox, who I think owns them, I always get confused who owns the X-Men and Spider-Man. Fox-Man, but Fox, who I think owns
them, I always get confused who owns the X-Men and Spider-Man.
Fox owns one, Sony owns one, I think.
In any case, someone else owns Spidey, but now Marvel has creative control over what
Spidey does, and they get him in their movies, which is a hell of a deal.
Donald Trump must have done that one.
You got me there.
So here's the question I have right you watch captain america civil war
yes i'm gonna name some characters and you tell me if you are excited about their in their
standalone movie okay all right um that black flying dude no absolutely not i will not watch
a movie just for him he is the weakest not only in talent
skills and and repertoire but he's also the weakest character he is not interesting or funny
even his little like thing he said to ant-man like yeah whatever happened during that tryout
you know he's not even a he's a poor he's a poor loser like like ant-man kicked his ass um did we
see that?
I don't think you saw it, but I've seen Ant-Man.
I've seen Ant-Man.
I don't remember him beating...
Okay, so remember when Ant-Man has to infiltrate that Avenger facility to get that, I don't know, the gizmo.
Whatever the god device that they needed to make all their plans work.
You know, first he had to kick that black dude with the wings.
We had to kick his ass because he was on security patrol with his goggles
and he could see Ant-Man magically.
I see.
None of that made sense.
Ant-Man was a real low period.
When I saw Ant-Man, I was like, uh-oh, Marvel's fucking up
and DC's right around the corner.
They're going to kickstart this Justice League as fast as possible.
This could spell the end.
And then they come out with stuff like, well,
Guardians of the Galaxy is beforehand,
but I felt like that was a, it was great.
I liked it.
It wasn't as good as the Avengers movie, but.
Let me keep going.
So there's that guy you don't like.
Ant-Man.
Oh, yeah.
No, I didn't like paul rudd um i like i've had it i like paul rudd but like not in that scenario i just man was only okay he's okay to me his performance in captain america
civil war raised his stock hmm um black panther yes yes i i thought thought Black Panther was was the was a very cool
character I know a good bit about him because of the Avengers cartoon that's
on Netflix and you know little wiki research that I've done in the past
after watching that cartoon excuse me he's uh he's pretty cool I like Black
Panther I even like the actor I like like that quasi-Nigerian accent that he has.
It was fake.
I wouldn't know.
No, I don't know if it's fake.
It's a good accent, whether it's fake or real.
Sounds real.
I thought Black Panther was amazing in the action scenes,
but the actor didn't have it.
Really?
I didn't think he owned the screen.
I didn't think he was funny.
I didn't think he was interesting. There was a think he was funny i didn't think it was interesting there was a lot of plot his father just died yeah and he was still boring
but there was a lot of plot around his revenge aspect of it and i could hardly bear to give a
fuck about like every but when i saw him fight right like oh his claws are scratching that shield oh like like oh and then characters
would land right thor lands the thud the concrete breaks everywhere captain america lands boom he's
just somehow like a man's man landing whatever like just a testosterone impactful land he's got
he's got inertia and force but black panther lands. Black Panther lands and is... Yeah. And if there's a sound effect at all, it's real subtle,
and it's like, ooh, everything he does, just...
Like he just dropped a bag of cotton.
Yeah, perfect.
And without the bag, just the balls of cotton.
Yeah, you just drop the hand with the cotton.
And to watch him fight was amazing.
I mentioned that to my wife because she didn't like the actor, the story, the it, the gravitas.
It was all missing with her too.
And she's like, yeah, but you know, is he in that suit?
How much acting is he doing?
Is there even a human in that suit or is it just all CGI?
Sometimes both.
suit or is it just all cgi sometimes both i i bet all the stuff that you thought was cool was all cgi or like um overlays over an actor wearing uh you know a suit um but when it but i know for sure
with the iron man stuff and with anything that's similar to an iron man look that at this point
it's like mr potato head like he's standing there and he's got all that shit on that way they can
pop this chest piece off
and put the damage one on and then get a shot
and then, okay, pop it off more damaged
and he's just a never-ending
Lego man.
I had seen other behind-the-scenes stuff that showed him
not wearing much.
All that stuff came later.
If he's flying or something,
then yeah, he might have like something right here
because they're just getting his face with like some shit going on like if he's if they're doing
because sometimes it's just kind of black behind him and you see like a an overlay sort of in front
of his eyes that's probably what they were filming there but i know a lot of the times there's various
suits and the suit has progressed throughout the you know the series originally he they said that
they were surprised that it even looked good on screen.
When they saw it in the theaters they were like wow that's the same
that's what I was wearing?
Wow it looks like shit in real life.
But once it was dressed up on screen it looked good.
I mean going back to that commercial I made
that controller that I'm using to make the thing
it was Play-Doh
you know like if you put your thumbs in it too hard
like it would go in
like it was so poorly
made but to look at it on screen they put like a digital overlay over it so that it looks like
there's like i don't know logistics being calculated and plots being laid and such
and uh and it looks real i don't know but but but now i think it's it's it's a pretty pretty cool
thing they got going but yeah i doubt i doubt anything you saw a black panther that was when
he was doing something cool was even him it was some guy behind a keyboard yeah so like as much as i thought the
character was interesting because like his stock rose for me personally because of the fighting
the actor didn't bring it for me at all well i mean hey i like the hulk i don't think there's
anybody in that suit either you know but like i also feel like the actor what's his name oh i don't know oh they all look the
same like a little russo i don't know anyway um yeah the actor that plays david banner
oh yeah uh russo yeah dave's david russo uh it's something russo a little bit it's something in
that family yeah we're close so uh but i like that actor i think he does a good job i think you know he's a he's a very good actor yeah so um so
like i like the incredible hawk and because and i think that actor pairs well with him let's keep
going spider-man you know um that spider-man under the guidance of marvel, absolutely. Yeah. Dude, I... So when the first Spider-Man reboot happened, right?
You know, this is like three actors ago or two actors ago.
I remember there was a scene where the next day he was hit with spiders
and he looks at his body and it's like he hit puberty overnight.
Oh, that's the Tobey Maguire one.
That's the first one.
Yeah.
That in the trailer got me interested in spider-man and then it was
just a movie or two before i lost it i haven't even seen all the spider-mans now this marvel one
oh my he was great he was great now the cgi and the fighting and all that stuff went fantastic
but i give more credit to the like the production than the actor for the for the actor going so well
but the actor like he was funny.
There was a scene in Captain America,
this doesn't spoil anything, where
the guy's like, I don't know if you've been in a
fight before, but there's usually not this much
talking. And he's like, oh, I'm really sorry.
You know? And they keep fighting.
This is the guy beating him up.
They're fighting, and he's like, I don't know
if you've ever been in a fight before,
but there's usually not this much talking. And he's i'm very sorry this is my first one yeah it was great
it was great the actor was fantastic i don't know how long he can be great because he had a youthful
thing to him so like if we do a trilogy and that thing takes eight years to get three movies out
you know all of a sudden he's going to be a man it's not going to be the same thing
but he's a man now probably playing younger than he is of a sudden he's going to be a man. It's not going to be the same thing.
I think he's a man now, probably playing younger than he is.
But I know he's a British actor.
Now, I will say this about – You lose the ability to do that, right?
Like when you're 27, you can play a high school kid.
And when you're – what would that be, 35?
You really, you know, come on.
What about – well, I can think of some examples when it's been done.
Yeah, and it was not good.
Like Rizzo from Grease or something. What about, well, I can think of some examples when it's been done. Yeah, and it was not good, like Rizzo from Grease or something.
What about Superbad?
Remember Superbad when Jonah Hill's playing a high schooler? He's like 35 and that, I think.
He's like 40-something now or 50-something maybe.
He's old.
Jonah Hill's much older than he looks.
Okay, and maybe this guy will be one of those too.
But anyway, Spider-Man's stock went way up with me.
Just like you, the flying dude whose name i don't know i just the actor doesn't have it the the character doesn't have it the
you know the cgi character stupid the character is so stupid yeah like everybody else i can either
suspend my disbelief because they explain it away or it makes sense. Like look I don't know how
Iron Man suit works
exactly but if you tell me this billionaire
spent billions of dollars making a flying
suit I'll believe it.
Sure okay. Seems like a smart fucking
guy. Sure he could figure it out.
And you tell me Thor is an alien from another planet
so his technology because it's so advanced
appears like magic to us. Absolutely.
Yeah that makes a lot of sense.
If I broke out an iPhone in front of Pocahontas,
she'd lose her shit.
That makes sense, too.
But this dude running... First of all, how does that shit work, right?
It looks like a glider,
and he's just seemingly defying gravity somehow.
It has to be some sort of hover technology, I guess,
but what's powering this
thing why doesn't someone just shoot him with a gun like i i can shoot a sporting clay going 60
miles an hour and that thing is this big how fast is he really going i think we could take him down
i think i could hit him i can hit a sporting clay most of the time now i'd have to get the rest off
but i can hit a flying human almost every time, I think. Yeah.
And I've gone around this about before.
But I don't feel like flying is that amazing a superpower.
It is, like, certain flying.
I think when you couple flying with a cool suit, you know, it is a cool power.
I think, like, if I just put some goggles on and start flying around, yeah, that doesn't work.
But if I got some sort of
cool, like, suit
that, you know,
is going to help,
it's going to keep me cool.
For one thing,
if you're going
hundreds of miles an hour,
there's going to be
all kind of wind and stuff.
Like, you're going to get
all kind of chafing.
I'm going to need
some kind of
aerodynamic suit.
There's a thing.
Flying has to go along
with something else.
Like, Superman can fly, right? And they're like with something else like, like Superman can fly. Right.
And they're like,
that's so amazing.
You can fly.
It's that he can fly at like the speed of light seemingly or faster.
It's close.
Yeah.
And,
and he has super strength and he has all these other things that multiply
with the flying.
Like the flying makes his cold breath better because if cold breath could only be done from like where he's standing, then it'd be more difficult to like freeze a lake or whatever it is that he does.
And now he can like fly over the lake and freeze the whole thing up real good and then pick the lake up and fly over there and drop it on the burning factory.
Right, right.
Yeah, those things coupled with the flying.
Flying is just a multiplier power.
But on its own own it doesn't
take me too far i i've been getting into like by getting into i mean like incessantly watching
youtube videos and reading websites of that paramotoring um if people don't know what
paramotoring is and i bet a lot don't it's the thing where you've got like a giant fan on your
back and a pretty much like a kite like a wing over your head and it's on string.
So it's not like right over your head.
It's up there.
And,
um,
you run a couple steps and you fly away.
And I could,
I looked into it.
I'm like,
I'm bringing out like FAA maps and stuff and like plotting the coordinates of
my house.
Cause I'm not that far from the airport,
but I am not in a place where I can't fly.
Like I'm just outside it probably by like four miles.
And yeah, I could literally just,
if I wanted to fly from my backyard up, up and away.
Is Jackie on board yet?
Not yet, not yet.
Did you tell her that you'll get a couple's version
so you can both get strapped in?
You know, I'm not sure what that takes.
Like, so this is a
you don't need a pilot's license to fly this thing and they're like look there are certain small
like uh things that you can fly where really you're not putting anyone in danger but yourself
and those things there's no rules around them really other than like stay out of the
airport's airspace yeah and they say you can't have passengers because then that changes the
whole dynamic here you know you're not you're not risking just yourself so get his and hers
i see i see where you're going with like this we need two of these things at least two i don't
think she has the same passion about it she'll get there good when she sees you like circling
the compound so at first she said no right and uh i think the no that the argument
she was making was about um the safety thing and i i kind of put my foot down on that i'm like look
this is ridiculous like you married a guy who does shit right when you met me i was on my third
motorcycle you know when you i have done ice hockey brazil jiu-jitsu, boxing, MMA, like a handful of motorcycles,
off-roading where I took like self-built cars up mountains and rolled them all the time.
And suddenly now, like no, I'm not a guy who gets handcuffed.
Like that can't be us.
No.
And she kind of, that's not the argument she uses anymore
you know like like you can't just like grab a guy and fucking domesticate him that's not right well
then what argument could she possibly have at this point because it's you know pulling it's not that
money argument she's like how much does it cost and it like all brand new all put together it's
like eight grand or something and uh um it's i don't know if this
is like her end game or what but like here's the thing my daughter would like to go to like four
speech and debate camps this summer and i'm like come on i went to like one camp in my life and
like she wants it's too much get a job and i I would like to have a job because I think it's a really good experience.
Yeah.
I think she should meet new people outside of her high school.
It'll be her social group.
It'll be, you know, she'll have a schedule.
It'll be great.
You know, it's way better than her.
You'll make a drive every day.
Yeah.
It's way better than her just being on like the couch this summer,
which would describe some of her previous summers.
So I don't want that i wanted to be up and out of the house with the thing to do and people to see and you know it'd be a good experience um so you know i'm like get her a job
and you know she can buy her own camp right maybe this motivates her and uh um jackie's suddenly
like well what we can't send your daughter to, but you can buy a paramotor?
God, woman.
Jesus. That's when you should be like,
actually, technically speaking, I already bought a paramotor.
Just drop it like that. Just go ahead
and buy it. Just pull the trigger. Buy the thing.
Oh.
Okay. Well, never mind. Send him to camp.
I'll get the paramotor. Done deal.
You're not getting the paramotor.
Wait a minute. We just had a deal!
Tell her I'm getting one too.
Kyle's getting one too.
We do.
You said it!
I'm full of shit!
No, Carmel!
Tell her we're gonna fly at hours simultaneously and have paintball wars.
She's putting her foot down.
Tell her we're both gonna fly and have paintball wars with each other mid-air.
She left!
Um...
She literally put her foot down like
this. She goes like this.
Then she leaves.
That's what we should do. We should both
get up in the air with the paramotors and have like a paintball
war midair. Dude, I feel like
that takes something really cool and ruins it. makes it like painful god damn it this was
really awesome we were flying we were dragging our feet in the water there were waves there's
surfers underneath and now i have one eye like you ruined all of it or worse i like hit your fan or something yeah
like this flying's really cool except for the paintballs
i think it would be a fun thing to add to a scenario game though what if you had like a
guy coming in and one of those like with one of those paintball machine guns just mowing people
down from the sky yes now in the scenario where they couldn't shoot back, I can really see how that works.
They're going to shoot back.
You know how that goes.
They shoot the people in wheelchairs.
They shoot back no matter what.
What is the range on a...
It probably shoots up like 300 feet, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, for sure 300 feet straight up.
Because I felt like when Wolf was shooting from a helicopter,
they couldn't shoot back oh yeah no
way but for one thing just if they were hovering right over you know the the the down draft the
down draft would would clear the pain i would imagine i think he was having a big issue like
getting anything to work at all because of that in some ways anyway but you know you're sending
them at speed and arc they're going somewhere fast fast. Yeah, I imagine it'd be hard.
And also the paramotor, you're busy.
You've got two brakes.
You're trying to fly it.
You've got a throttle, and then suddenly you're adding a gun to the mix.
I think you should test one.
You should find somebody else who's got one that'll let you,
or maybe rent one.
That'd be cool.
Maybe we could all rent one.
I think the thing to do is
to um to take a course and that could be a pk adventure that sounds fun right she can't say
no now it's work are you making money on this well they gave us a discount is that penny saved is a penny earned
darling there you go i like that yeah no that would be really fucking fun i'd do that yeah
would you really do it oh absolutely 100 yeah so i i think a course is like 1500 ish
and it's like 10 days um now that's a little more intensive than i imagined i was and i think there's
five day courses and i don't know what the scoop is i have this idea i'm sure there's a place i
mean if you wanted to stay and get certified i was kind of like experience it dude so like you're
like hey let's rent it the thing is is i've been reading about this a bunch they spend the first three three days like not even flying like just like getting it off the ground and learning to
steer it and like teaching you how to do it like it it it's not like the thing where you go behind
a boat and it takes no training it's i still want to do it um if taylor's on board i think i think
we should get the three of us that'd be be fucking awesome. We should get Chiz to start talking to the companies and find some time to set aside.
Because that is a commitment.
That's a fucking commitment.
That's a lot of time.
But I would do it, given enough time.
Just like the survival trip.
It would have to be planned if it's going to be something like that.
But I would love to do it, yeah.
Yeah.
end if it's going to be something like that but i would love to do it yeah yeah um yeah so um there that that sounds great yeah we should have choose contact a few of those companies
what'd you get uh it's a phantom 3 advanced for people that know them. It's good.
I never got yours to work.
I never got the remote and the drone to talk.
Maybe I could figure that out.
I don't know.
But I bought this one.
It's used, but it was babied.
It looks brand new.
It's perfect in every way.
And it's cool.
Colin has a drone, but it's kind of a toy.
And it blows away and stuff like that.
Really, the whole challenge is getting it not to run away from you.
That's how it is.
This thing, it has like GPS sensors.
It lands itself.
Does yours land itself?
It does? Okay.
Well, that was a new experience for me.
And I don't know.
It just like the range is five miles.
I don't know.
That is excessive. That is excessive.
That is awesome.
Five kilometers.
That's still excellent.
The range on mine is,
the one I sent you is 750 feet.
Okay.
You can get it to work with an iPad or an iPhone.
You just need to download the Parrot Drone app
and pair the two,
and it'll work.
I don't know why the controller won't work, but...
Alright, I didn't try that.
But a phone or an iPad will work.
If anything, you give it to Colin,
it's an excellent toy.
Yeah, I would love that.
One of the issues I have is
his battery seems to last
five to seven minutes.
This is more like 25 to 35.
If you're not going crazy,
like when you're hauling ass,
like going so fast forward that it's like tilted,
like 25 minutes.
But if you're just kind of like up and down
and shimming around, like 35 minutes maybe.
Okay.
So, yeah, that's nice
because that would put us in sync.
Our batteries would run out at about the same time.
Yeah.
That's what I'd feel bad.
Like, hey, Colin, yeah, let's go play go play all right daddy's got 20 more minutes on you but i think i'm gonna
let him fly it too yeah um he's talented with the other drone and i just ask him to be careful we'll
see how it goes and the thing like i think it was a DJI that Eric has.
I've seen that thing take some hard crashes onto asphalt,
turn upside down with the rotor still going full speed,
and he just casually walks over, picks it up,
takes the rotors off, throws them away,
pops some new ones back on.
Good as new.
Like, not a crack.
Like, that plastic is sturdy plastic. It's not the kind
you're going to get some hairline crack in as soon as you bump
a building.
It's either made to
take a whooping or to flex
and bend as needed if there is a rack.
It's good stuff. Well designed.
I think I might have the same one that Eric
does.
Is it white?
It's badass. thing is is badass
it's great you can do so much with that
it's loud that's the one thing like it's it's you know it'll interfere with if
it's a shot that that requires audio you're gonna have the like it's back there yeah that's it yeah it's uh yeah it's the phantom 3 it's advanced i don't
know he may have the professional the um the real difference is the camera does 4k
but i wanted 1080p in 60 frames per second and it does that. Speaking of 4K
and frames per second,
I've been really, as well as
a layman like myself can, researching
these 1080 graphic cards
and looking at
what kind of build to put around
one and what the capabilities would be
and weighing all the options and
listening to people who say something
it's so far over my head. God, I wish I could remember what he was
talking about. Oh, God. I was
just watching this video a minute ago. Was it J2Cents
and SLI? No, J
doesn't go over my head. I can follow
J all the way through. I was watching Tech of Tomorrow
and... Is he the guy with the beard?
Yes.
He was definitely wrong in one regard
because I watched J's video and he explained that
the cards do support
more than two-way SLI.
They just don't come with that stock.
You have to go to NVIDIA and tell them.
There's something about the thing
that connects them all together.
It only has two ports or something,
and you have to get a longer one or something,
so you can go three- and four-way.
But it will do three- and four-way.
Oh, and there's another thing that he said they has to be unlocked the ability for them to do
three and four way but everybody else like it seems like either jump the gun and don't have
or don't have the contacts that jay has so he's like correcting all of them he's like first of all
let's get the record straight because there's been a lot of people out there that don't know this one
and i i was like oh i know what this i
know this feeling that he has that he's getting something off his chest right now so i watched
all the way through and then i watched this tech of tomorrow guy and he's way over my head he's
incredibly knowledgeable clearly with what he's talking about he's talking about the itty bitty
itty nitty details of these things in terms i've never even heard before and uh sorry and uh but
he had that little fact wrong but yeah i i'm gonna get
one of them there's no reason to have more than one of them with what i want i don't think my
goal is to be able to i want 144 hertz monitor i'd like to be able to play and you know super
high frame rate ultra everything on games like witcher i i like the reason i haven't explored
a game like that is because i don't have the system to play that
on those high settings.
And whatever comes out next, right?
And VR, of course.
Maybe Titanfall has something that catches your interest.
You'll be able to play tomorrow's games too.
And I was interested in VR already
and I wanted to build something.
I don't know a lot about this stuff,
but just seeing how it outperforms
the previous gen card that's like a grand or 1100
like the titan x or whatever like it's outperforming it by like 37 at 4k resolutions um and it's and
it's so much cheaper it's 600 i believe i don't know the details either but like i was it seems
to have a lot of vr like instruction sets or like the previous cards it seems like they weren't
built knowing that vr was a use case.
And this one, they really knew VR was out there and needed to be served.
And the 1070 is a really fast card.
I feel like an SLI 1070 build would be very interesting and affordable.
But I'm going to get a 1080 and I'm going to build something around that.
I don't even know if my current case is even
good going forward, but I got a lot of research to do. But I'm definitely going to do it. I definitely
am because I saw a few of those. I watched some gameplay of The Witcher and a couple of other
games and it's incredible that many frames and I can't even view it on my current monitor.
Yeah, I think you're on the right track. And it's funny because so a new video card comes out every year right from nvidia
the new video card comes out every year from amd and i have never remembered them being such a story
like it's always like hey a new card came out and you know what they say it's 25 faster it's really
like 15 there you go and
that happens for two or three years and all of a sudden you're at like you know they've added up
to 50 compounding and it's time to get a new card this year it's like oh yeah this year like you've
got yourself uh whatever 780 or something and you think you're fine but no like you're not two years behind because this
card made three years of progress you're suddenly like five years back the 1080 has just changed
everything depending on the resolution it's it's 25 to almost 40 percent better faster never happens
and cheaper but by nearly half it's it's a card. I feel like Intel has trained me to expect like 8% improvements.
I've wanted to build a new PC for a while now.
And then I look at it and I'm like, man, like 12% faster?
Like I just can't see dropping another like three grand or something for the video card to be faster.
But like my rendering times, which a lot of it is cpu because
i don't use tons of effects and um i'm like 12 faster what does that even do to a 40 minute uh
render time i'm just gonna 40 times 0.88 roughly yeah it takes off like less than five minutes
you know 4.8 minutes whatever that is um that's four minutes 48 seconds
thank you so that doesn't really change a lot for me like the fact that you've cut my render times
by four minutes from 40 to 35 something you know i you'd have to be a gamer to really need a new
system yeah i i'm excited about i'm excited about the vr shit that's gonna be really cool i
feel like that's gonna be gonna be fun to just show people because i want i want the best vr
experience that money can buy and i don't think that's out too outrageous anymore i um like i
don't think that's gonna cost me more than three it's i think three thousand dollars is where i'm
is i'm not gonna spend more than that after we talked to Tucker, I did more research on my own, on the VR and the Hive versus the other one.
Everything Tucker said was confirmed.
So that's just the one.
There it is.
Yeah, I'm going to get back in touch with him now that we know more about this 1080
because that may have changed some of his thoughts on how to build this thing
and the route I should take.
I'm going to ask a lot of people for advice because I don't know shit.
And I'm going to be assembling this thing myself. Are you? Yeah. I'm going to start watching the videos. I want
you to live stream the assembly. Oh yeah. I'd love that. Here's the thing about Kyle. Not everyone
knows it. Kyle does not put himself in positions in which he looks bad typically. No. He avoids
those. Right. And it's probably smart, but I don't follow it.
Also, Kyle will never tell you something that would put him in a bad light.
You know?
Hey, have you ever made a bad PKA?
Nope, not yet.
Every one of them, fucking awesome.
You know?
I get fried.
Yeah, yeah. you know i uh i get a ride yeah yeah no they just he like if someone's gonna tear down kyle
he's not taking you halfway there you know you're gonna start from scratch and uh i think what you
mean to say is i'm a very positive person i like to see the best in things always and
always look for that silver lining that sounds a lot less uh manipulative thank you
i don't think of it as manipulative.
I know.
Manipulative is so negative.
It's just like...
What? I'm going to
put out some bad vibe on me?
No.
I feel like I would be frustrated very quickly.
I feel like it's something where
I need to be watching the video.
I need to watch two or three videos. Many hour long videos. i need like 12 or 13 hours of content to teach me this first
and then i need some written manuals and then there's going to be a step-by-step thing
you know little things like making sure i'm grounded like i just don't want to ruin thousands
of i saw that guy on reddit who was was doing everything he could to zap the thing over
and over and maybe even took a taser
and did something crazy and it was fine.
But I want to be careful and not
damage thousands of dollars
worth of fragile seeming electronics.
I was reading
about putting RAM in and how much force
it takes sometimes and how it'll seem like
you're bending things and then it'll just pop
in and you're good. And thatifies me i'm thinking like maybe i'll get a rubber mallet and do little
taps like that's the way to go no no nice and slow controlled feel it with your hands um
no i think you can do it i think you do it and then you know like i picture like we've got that
text chat where you like you maybe send a picture of a piece of the mother.
We'll get this camera right here down.
You see this right here?
I didn't buy that.
It didn't come with it.
I don't know where it goes.
What is that?
I got six wires here and four spots here.
How do we handle this situation?
I'll tell you what I am going to do no matter what.
It's going to have a cool case. I't know what what it's gonna be um i have seen those computers that are submerged in
like mineral oil that seems outrageously cool to me i've seen those that are um that are like
like like almost like a server rack and so they're really open and uh that looks interesting to me
um and then I've
seen some like they didn't have a price tag but I saw one that was look it looks
like a weapon of mass destruction they made this giant like bomb thing that but
that I'm sure it cost them thousands of dollars you know if you wanted it I bet
there's people who would like fight for the opportunity to help you build this
thing you know this oh yeahyle i'll do a seven hour
skype with you we'll put it together together when i was learning guitar people were offering to do
that with me for sure they would but but like i don't want my thing is i know i'm going to have
to stop and start a lot because i get frustrated with things sometimes and i have to step away from
them and like depressurize and sometimes it's a day i have to take off like i but but if i stay
on a thing and keep going and going then there's always a chance that I'm just gonna like not think be thinking clearly
and just be like fucking push push push push push push and just break the thing because I didn't
notice that I needed to loosen a set screw you know um I think I need to take my time and every
time I run into one of those little problems take a step back and then find some
advice and then go from there. I don't
think I'd like to be walked along through it because
Okay.
But I'm gonna, I think I am gonna do it.
Bring your parts
together to the
paramotor school. We'll assemble it as
a team up there.
The water cooling thing interests me
too. Only from an aesthetic point of view, though.
I don't care about...
I don't think it's really an issue with this card anyway,
with it overheating.
I was reading something about the amount of...
I was reading something about this card
that made overclocking not a...
What were they saying?
I can't even remember the garbage.
I can't regurgitate it properly like Chiz.
God damn it.
It's okay.
It's a new passion with you.
But yeah, the water cooling thing looks cool to me
from an aesthetic point of view. I almost want to set up the
water cooling stuff, but then just not
even use it. Just have it be there to look.
But I just want to make a
PC that looks really cool because I like
stuff that looks cool. I mean, this one looked cool when it
was brand new. It still does. It's all glowy
and shit.
I want something
that's really powerful. I want to be able to do the VR stuff.
I want to be able to play the cutting edge
games on the highest settings at the highest
frame rates and
not be like, ah, shit, now I can't really
I guess I'm not going to be able to experience Witcher
the way it was meant to be experienced. Too bad.
I was watching Wing's Fallout video, and he seems to be playing on a pretty good PC.
It looks really nice.
Oh, okay.
Or at least it handles Fallout well.
I've watched it.
I've tried to watch a couple of them, but I'm just not his demo on that game.
I've never played it.
I don't think you're that game's demo. seems that way yeah i love that game yeah i like i'm watching him like oh it's
a hiking simulator he's just walking and walking and then he like you know picks off a couple
people from the distance which i've enjoyed playing that like in borderlands i've had kills
that way where you know you just sort of pop out snipe pop out snipe but as a viewer like i need
the sandy ravage view the ronaldinho one where you run around just murking people knifing them
whatever like that to me is interesting footage to see fallout is not that game or at least not
the way that wings plays it i don't know if there is like a melee version or something oh yeah
yeah that's how i play i play a melee melee character, and it's a bit like...
You're a bit like John Wick, I guess.
You're just kind of surrounded by enemies.
Every time you hit one of them,
even though it's a punch or you hit them with a pipe,
it does area of effect damage anyway.
So everybody behind the guy I hit,
they also kind of stagger backwards, and it's...
See, I might enjoy that footage more.
Chained together like multi-strikes. Wings has a silenced pistol that he can pick people off. The Deliverer. also kind of stagger backwards and it's and see i'm gonna enjoy that footage more chain together
like uh multi-stripes pistol that he can pick the deliverer it's 10 millimeter if that helps at all
it's that's what it's called the deliverer yeah so he has a silenced pistol and he like he'll just
tuck behind a wall and and then come back and i'm like all right this might be some high level play
i'm told it is.
It's just play.
The thing about it is anything in the game can become god mode if you focus and bend your character down the path that gets it there.
He's made a pistol build, and that is one of the best pistols in the game.
It's so versatile, and it does so many different things well.
It does a lot of things really well,
whereas, of course, there are other pistols
that do one thing even better than it,
but it's all around the best pistol in the game,
and he's got a pistol build character.
And I do a melee build character,
so I just go in, I like to smash stuff
and get really up close and personal,
and there's blood and gore and shit,
and it's a lot of fun.
I haven't played in a while, though.
I'm waiting for a bit more.
I think all the DLC might be out
but I guess I'll be playing on PC next time around
so that'll be cool
Chiz just sent us some of the benchmarks I think
that's pretty impressive
I can't flip around or anything
I would lose your video
Hitman in 4K
with settings maxed out
48 frames per second on the 1080
37 frames per second on the 1080. 37 frames per second
on a Titan X.
Rise of Tomb Raider
in 4K max settings
plus FXAA.
I don't know what that means.
Running at 45 frames per second.
Star Wars is running at 71 frames per second.
So, looks pretty good.
I'm looking forward to that that's gonna be fun so
on this movie you totally done yeah yeah yeah we're all done with my stuff
there's they're filming some more stuff but I think they're at like a different
location filming something that takes place prior in the movie most of the
film takes place on an airplane. How many lines did you
have? Did you have much memorization
to do now that it's all done?
Yeah, I had to memorize.
There's a couple of conversations
that I have. So there's some
back and forth.
I don't know how many lines total.
And they changed a lot.
That's the other thing. I would have everything memorized,
and I would work with my acting coach
and have everything down
and how everything was going to work
and the volume and where my eyes are going.
And I'd know exactly what I was going to do.
And they'd be like,
all right, we changed everything.
Here's what you say.
I was like,
but before I just stood in the corner in this scene.
I was like,
I thought I was just kind of standing here
watching over everything.
Now I have to, like, come down some stairs
and say a thing and do...
So it changed a lot.
So, yeah, there was some memorization.
I'm good at that, though, like, just memorizing.
I'm terrible.
Yeah, I think so.
Especially, like, I was in a couple plays
in, like, middle school and elementary school and stuff,
and I was always good at memorizing,
like, my big block of lines or whatever but um this most of most of what i had was like
i would say five words and then wait for two or three more people to say something and then i
would say five more words and then that would continue for a while um but a couple times you
know that i'm interrogating somebody at one point and you know I'm sort of choking them and like blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah and they're like
no no you don't understand and I'm like blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah and it's kind of a back and
back and forth conversation that goes on
for like 30 or 45 seconds
was your section funny or
dramatic or
um uh there's
some funny like uh kind of
there's a there's a there's definitely a couple funny parts.
And there's some special effects
that'll definitely be required at one point.
And there was so much blood.
So much.
There really was.
I cut my hand.
I didn't tell anybody this, but i cut my hand in my
apartment um because the tv fell off the rack and it cut my uh my finger right here and it's like
wasn't a big deal at all but it was bleeding but there was so much fake blood that nobody could
tell that i was really bleeding so hopefully that didn't cause any problems but i definitely bled on
an actress at one point with some real blood but nobody nobody noticed and we'll just keep that between me and you.
Yeah.
There's a funny part and then there's a part where I'm really screaming and threatening
somebody.
And they just kept, I hope I don't look silly, I'm sure I don't, but they keep, they're like,
louder, louder, you're really mad.
So I'm just screaming in this guy's face, giving him crazy eyes and stuff.
So I had a good time doing it.
It was very different than some of the other stuff I've done.
So with all the actors there, right?
So there's like not the actual shooting, but the environment around the whole set and the life that you live for two weeks.
Was there like a real pecking order?
Like, ooh, here's this guy.
Don't stand
in his path no absolutely not no there was only like um i think there's there was like two guys
who were like established actors in that in that thing that i knew of that like when i recognized
them um and the one guys you know the far from super troopers i don't think that's a secret
everybody knows that kevin's in the movie um so i i thought it was cool to meet him but nobody no it
wasn't like that at all.
Certainly not.
It was a very relaxed scenario for all the actors.
But the production team, the stunt coordinator, the directors, the assistants, the hair and makeup people, they're on the ball.
They're fucking working hard and everything's very serious to them.
But everybody else is very chill very relaxed about everything and uh it's uh it's always it's a little bit too
coddling i feel like when someone makes a mistake no one wants to say it it's like oh you did great
there you did such a good job you did really really good next time do this and it's like i
would prefer if you said i did a bad job occasionally so that
when you do give me a attaboy it means something i feel like i'm getting my ass kissed here from
the crack of dawn till one in the morning and so i it means nothing at this point i do i always get
that when i'm working with professional film people i get that from them and it's not just
at first i thought i was just fucking amazing
but then i realized like they just don't ever want to say anything negative that's what it is and i
and it's not just to me it's you know when i see anyone receiving direction it's it's always like
oh you did good i like that you did this part and the way you did that perfect this time a little
louder or this time you're a little confused at the end you don't
really know if you believe him or not and just on and on with changes like that so i don't like that
part i wish i would like to be called out when i when i'm doing something wrong if i am i would
look you're really quiet there you're supposed to be you're supposed to be angry here you're
not whispering to this guy you're screaming your lungs out i want that rather than really really good but this time a little louder i don't know i hear you i hear you right it's huh i wonder
how it got to be like that is that just the whole culture across all films just this film
well i can see where like so i i didn't feel any pressure doing this thing honestly i i didn't feel any pressure doing this thing, honestly. If I messed up, I laughed about it.
Somebody's phone rang one time when I'm walking into the scene all badass,
and I'm like, all right, it's time to do this and that.
And this and that is some real bad shit.
And then somebody's phone goes, no, no, no, no, no, no.
But first, Alex needs to get his phone.
It's not a big deal if somebody fucks up.
And there were people who were messing their lines up
or forgetting a thing.
And I had to get nudged one time to say my line
because they film things both ways.
It's not like a wide shot of four people talking.
First, we put the camera close on these two people.
And the other two people in the conversation,
they're no longer hanging from the ledge like they're supposed to be.
They're just kind of standing there like,
oh, no, Johnny, can't you help me?
They're just saying the lines for the timing and everything.
I liked working on it. It was a lot of fun.
I guess the big wigs at the studio,
because the studio's got many studios uh studios within it we're in like
studio four or five or three but there's like six or eight of them and uh so whoever like owns that
place or is a is hyphen management they had their badass cars parked in like a vip little area and
there were two of them one of them was a ferrari and the other was Velociraptor.
Something that I didn't know existed.
I think it's just a Raptor.
I think it's a supercharged 6.2 or something,
but it was like an SUV.
His was like an SUV on the back instead of a truck.
I didn't know that existed either.
I'm definitely familiar with the Ford Raptor, right? There's the Ford Raptor. Right. This is the back instead of a truck. I didn't know that existed either. I'm definitely familiar with the, it's the Ford Raptor, right?
There's the Ford Raptor.
Right.
This is the Velociraptor.
I didn't even know that was a thing.
I'm standing out there like waiting between takes and I'm like, what the fuck is that?
That looks badass.
It looks kind of off-road slash military
slash like, you know, street car,
but it looks sporty and powerful.
It's definitely off-road capable.
It doesn't have any plastic around.
It's got some travel.
The wheels were not city wheels.
They were off-road wheels.
It looked like a cool fucking truck.
I'd never seen one before.
It looked very expensive.
Yeah, but he lives in LA,
so is it a good city truck?
Fuck, I don't know what's a good city car right like uber i was gonna say uh um what casey does
what the hell is that thing called the skateboard oh the the hoverboard it's not that though it's
like oh he's got an electric skateboard right yeah it's an electric skateboard it goes like
20 miles an hour.
That's pretty badass, yeah.
Yeah, it looks cool.
You know what, though?
So I've watched him use it a lot,
and I feel like to a great extent,
there's just a cool factor to it.
I guess I was going to say a bike is just about as fast, really.
A bike.
What's that? I prefer the bike. The bike is way about as fast, really. A bike. What's that?
I prefer the bike.
The bike is way better at dealing with certain obstacles, right?
Like curbs and things.
I don't think he can ollie, I mean to say, that long board.
The skill to hop a curb in a bike is much more easy.
Yeah.
The skill to ollie a curb on an electric uh skateboard the bike's way to go
and it's injured a lot like it it seems like every i bet he doesn't go three weeks without
either an injury or equipment to his or camera equipment being damaged you know it's just like
lenses completely ripping off bodies and stuff like that this guy is going through equipment
like nobody's business and uh you know i think
part of it is his skateboard on the other hand it's wicked cool and yeah part of his job is to
be wicked cool yeah and he seems to be good on a fucking skateboard so it must be a lot of fun for
him yeah i don't know i think i have this false sense of bravado i'm like yeah i could do that
though maybe i could pick it up quickly i surfed for decades you know yeah i would think it would be a really similar they make those long
i saw this asian girl on a really long uh skateboard and she was like sort of she was
almost dancing on this thing as she like swerved in and out she was like leaning a lot and just
it was incredible the amount of control she had. It was fluid. Very impressive. I think I've seen similar stuff.
Yeah.
And you're right.
She's just like walking back and forth, switching stance from regular to goofy foot.
And it's no big deal.
I'm not saying I can do all that.
But I'm thinking I could stand on an electric skateboard and go.
Yeah.
I wouldn't be surprised.
Yeah.
I want to ride a skateboard.
I was thinking today, God, I think my fangirling over him is getting a little extreme.
But I was like, he lets people ride it all the time.
It seems like every week people are like, oh, my God, that's so cool.
You want to try it?
He offers, right?
At this point, taking a quick ride on Casey Neistat's skateboard is like smoking a blunt with Snoop Dogg.
It's just always there and everyone's welcome.
See, you should make your own.
You should make a surfboard that does that.
You should make an electric surfboard that you can surf down the street.
Dude, electric skateboard makes no sense where I live.
I feel like where you live too.
Same. Yeah, that's why I didn't grow up with a
bike at all because there's nowhere to take it. Yeah. New York City has what they call last mile
problem, right? How you get that last mile from one place to the other is really tricky there.
And electric skateboard, bike, hoverboard, whatever. He's tried them all. He likes,
I can't remember it. Booster board, boomer board, something like that. Anyway all he likes i can't remember it boom booster board boomer board
something like that um anyway he likes that i don't have a last mile problem i got a five mile
problem and you know what solves it really well a car oh i thought you were gonna say the fucking
thing you want solves it even better in the car flying i have dude i've tried to convince myself that that makes sense but it just doesn't
like you have to pack it away you have to set up scenarios it explicitly for that like honey
there's a uh there's a church picnic 45 minutes from here you want to drop in let's do it like
you're just like scheduling things like completely bizarre things out of the way just so you can land you can you can like land jackie's driving
like she's stuck in traffic no she like i can i imagine the only way she's gonna let you do this
thing is if she's like film your daddy these might be his last minutes i looked into it
statistically it's safer than motorcycles but more dangerous than cars so it's somewhere i These might be his last minutes. I looked into it.
Statistically, it's safer than motorcycles, but more dangerous than cars.
So it's somewhere in the middle there. I can believe that for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because, I mean, you got to think, everybody who's jumping on one of these things presumably
does that course or at least, you know.
It seems like most people get training.
You know what the biggest cause of death on a paramotor is?
Drowning. get training you know what the most uh the biggest cause of death on a paramotor is drowning like it'd be apparently water is a particularly fun place to go right it's open you drag your
feet you do all this stuff drowning is more people die from drowning on those things than
everything else combined and i'm like ah but i'm particularly resistant to that they're trying to
explain to you all right you hit the
water you pull your rip cord right here all of this comes loose then your hands come in like
this and out and away you're free you're like i'm just gonna leave it on and paddle out i'm saving
this shit was expensive you've got 500 square feet of parachute behind you is that all but yeah i think that now i'm not you know obviously i'm
not particularly good at staying unconscious or whatever happens you know like if you splash in
the water but i do think i'd be better than most at like just chill like getting my seat
keeping your cool keeping my cool yeah not like water doesn't panic me. Yeah, water would panic the average person.
I feel like if I'm strapped into something and I'm on my back gurgling a little bit as I slowly...
I don't know if that thing would be buoyant in any way at all at first.
Probably not.
Probably start sinking like a stone.
I don't think there's any water in these things.
There's nothing buoyant about it.
What size engine is it?
So for a guy my size, we'd be talking about 125 to 185.
Really? Is that big?
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I guess you'd get like some flight muffs, you know, with like a radio thing and stuff.
People do that.
The same ones that you might you've been
in helicopters before they give you the headset with the yeah yeah yeah they do that a lot and
they can talk to each other those are great they um they have those in the tank too um it cancels
that because inside a tank is like the ends it's it's like twice as loud as a track being on a
tractor so um yeah so like but with these things on you
don't hear shit except for everyone else's voice loud and clear it's great yeah that's all higher
hardwired though so there's no way it's really high quality yeah i've never had that but i have
had some high quality um aviation ones actually yeah dylan the guy that i first went into business
with at woody craft he flying helicopters was his hobby.
And we went out to L.A. for this Call of Duty event,
and he rented a helicopter,
and that thing gave us all high-quality aviation headsets.
Yeah, that's cool.
That's why I tried it.
Man, that'd be a good skill to have.
Would you rather be able to pilot a helicopter or play a guitar very well?
Ooh, interesting. The thing about the helicopter is the price. be able to would you rather be able to pilot a helicopter or play a guitar very well oh
interesting the thing about the helicopter is the price so like dylan how much is an r22
so i want to say a used chopper is going to be somewhere in like the 65 to 100 grand range
right but the gas is expensive and that was the thing thing. Dylan seemed to need $1,000 every time he flew.
Oh, he had an instructor, though, because he was under 16,
and he couldn't fly solo yet.
He can now.
So maybe without that, it lowers the cost.
But just maintenance and fuel.
Helicopters are expensive vehicles to operate.
Just period.
That's the deal.
Seems like it was being paid for me,
but it seems like either $ paying or it was being paid for me but seems like either four or four to six hundred dollars an hour
right and i bet if you suck out all the costs right you fly it yourself all you're doing is
like you own the machine you're paying for the fuel and whatever like maintenance you accumulate
for that it's still going to be over 100 bucks an hour these assholes i hate when the price you
have to call for the price. Yes. Everywhere. Every person
that does that is making a mistake. If you think that somehow you're such a great salesman that
you're going to completely change my mind, no. You have no idea how many sales you're losing.
I have no interest in sites that make you call to get a price. These are very expensive.
Oh, here's one for 80. Oh, that's a lot.
That's the lowest I've seen.
That's right in the range I was talking about.
Is it new?
I'm looking at used R22s specifically because that's what I have some experience with.
And they're one of the least expensive.
I thought so, but some of these are a quarter million.
$180,000 for an 05.
I want to say his was right in the sixth, like right at about $100,000.
$220,000 for a 2006 wow right that's a 10 year old helicopter yeah how long did it go
um it just had an overhaul which is a big deal
yeah you might think you flew it for like a hundred dollars in gas but nope
that's that was a piece of every hour of flying
yeah for every hour of flying you need like two hours of maintenance or something like that and
the maintenance is a couple hundred dollars an hour so it's it's operating one of these things
is no joke this one might be better than his i want to say his wasn't all sealed like that like
ah like that there were no doors on it and stuff. This is what I have some experience with.
These and the Robinson 44, which is a much larger chopper than this.
This statistically is the world's most dangerous helicopter, I've been told,
every time I've gotten in one for some reason.
You would think they'd keep that under wraps, right?
I've been in like three of these.
Every fucking time, they're like, you know, the thing about the R-
This is like over the headset.
You know the thing about the R- this is like over the headset you know the thing about the r22 no what's that it's the most dangerous chopper in the world
i'm just like mother fucker why would you tell me that they don't follow the kyle
non-self-deprecation rule set there they they just you got to teach them your ways
i guess he thought it'd be good for
me to know but it's like maybe you should have told me this before we got up here like we're up
here now yeah i've seen um it depends on the pilot more than anything i think um i've seen a bad pilot
get really squirrely and and he got mixed up in the wash of the larger chopper and he had to like
make a big loop to right himself and not crash which was
scary because Scott was in there Scott didn't even notice there was an issue
this is the guy terrified a fucking air of airplanes right in the world's most
dangerous chopper with a pilot would like a very young pilot like like our
age or something like that at the time so we don't share an age I know it's
nice that you said that Scott Scott and mine's age.
Oh, okay.
We were born in the 80s.
Yeah, yeah.
I was like...
You remember that.
You were buying your first home.
That's better.
All right.
You want to call it a wrap right there?
Yeah, probably so.
Wait, wait, wait.
I have a PKA joke.
Yeah.
All right.
Are you ready?
Uh-huh.
