Live painkiller nearly episode 98 Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones real quick though Kyle. Have you been doing something different with your facial hair? It looks smoother
It doesn't look as scraggly as it does sometimes looks like you're really taking some pride in it. I don't think so
I I shaved yesterday
It compliment trimmed up. Hi. Are you doing anything different? You don't look like shit
No, this is just I guess you caught me on a non-shit day i can notice kyle little sprigs on the side sometimes
of hair but this time it looks like you took like some some trimmers trimmed it down to like
stubble everywhere and that you're gonna start like an even beard that's what it looks like
well that's what i always go back to. I always go back to that.
So when it's anything else, it's just pure laziness.
And yeah, when it gets long, I've got that Keanu Reeves kind of patchy thing.
So it needs to be kind of trimmed and stubbly.
I was going to say, Kyle, on the piece of shit scale,
you've gone from an 8 to a 5.
So congratulate.
We're all so proud of you.
I thought it looked good. I wish you would go like a restating style because you said that you go all patchy but you don't look like you're patchy here on your mustache
i'm pointing now all this like all this comes in and around the sides is i could do one of those
really lame things where it comes down and like does one of those but i i don't want any of that
that's that's super...
I'm happy with what I got going on.
I like it to be a little rough and scruffy
and not look like I'm a child.
I saw an Asian guy just...
It had to be less than a year ago
where he had exactly what you were saying.
That chin strap connector.
But traditionally
the hair is very, very short
in the chin strap connector it's like a stubble
this guy had at least three quarter of an inch hairs just on a thin strip lining his face like
it was like drapes hanging down off of his face disgusting that sounds you know that silken asian hair yeah where you know like hulk hogan
hair yes and it's just hanging down like that very like little uh like spider silk i guess you
would say it wasn't a good look but it was like ah you don't know where he's from maybe that's
really big in vietnam i thought what he was taking a dick pic over there for a second i was like what
the fuck's he doing my My cord lets me just barely
reach my light switch, and
that is where I control the speed of my ceiling fan.
Gotcha.
This was a huge
episode of Game of Thrones. Too big.
Season finale.
Everything moved forward a lot.
We realigned all of
the factions, and then they took a few
steps forward, which is rare for the show.
You usually do one or the other or neither in some episodes.
But everyone realigned.
Everyone coalesces to either sort of a Lannister side or at least potentially an anti-Lannister side.
So I loved it.
And then in everything moved forward, we got to see Cersei just take on the greatest revenge the show may have ever seen
like that was incredible
and I loved loved the costume
that dress that Cersei
is wearing is like
it's like a mixture of armor
and evening wear
I loved it
I hate that Taylor just dropped out
I wish he could hear what I'm about to say
he'll be back in a second.
We can talk about my computer while he's gone.
Okay.
I've been building that thing.
I started today because I've been waiting on the 1080 graphics cards for a while, obviously.
I could buy a Founders Edition card right now.
They're available.
And they are every day on and off.
But I want the ASUS Strix overclocked edition because I think it'll be better.
And it's definitely the one with the highest clock.
So while I wait for that, a kind fan of ours was kind enough to send me a 980 Ti classified edition.
So I think that thing is going to run my monitors, my VR setup, all that stuff just fine for the foreseeable future until the 1080 that I want is available.
Or maybe some newer newer better 1080 is
just right around the corner or something i don't know if you follow computers all the time but
typically they come out with like the 680 and then mid-year the 680 ti which is even faster
that happened with the 780 780 ti 980 980 ti which i think is is that what you're getting
the 980 ti yeah so there'll probably be a 1080 Ti in a few months.
Just a thought.
Yeah, maybe so.
It'd be nice to wait for that and get that.
Maybe I could be one of those early release lucky people
who actually gets it.
It's like the lottery with people clicking Newegg
just on F5 all day.
But I got all my parts in,
and I've been kind of putting the build off
because I didn't really want to tackle it without all the pieces here.
But the graphics card is showing up tomorrow.
I checked the tracking number.
So I figured I wanted everything ready and powered on
and the operating system on board and everything.
So I could just put the graphics card in, plug in the power, and go.
So I started about two hours ago, and so far I got the case stripped down,
got my new fans in.
I replaced a few
fans um got my um mother got the ram in the motherboard the processor in the motherboard
and uh i got that got all the power cables hooked up to the power supply and got it installed
so i did mine in a different order than you like i think that i put the ram in when it was in the
case already and i'm not so sure about the the CPU but putting the motherboard in the case for me was like in hindsight
probably the hardest part and part of it is just how my brain is wired like I
like to be a hundred and ten percent sure like it says hey you know this is
the USB plug it here or not USB but like a case fan or something and I'm like
what is it is it possible to do this backwards?
If it is possible to do this backwards,
then I need to make sure that it's not backwards.
And, you know, that kind of just like dotting every I,
crossing every T made my,
I think I assembled slower than you did.
I'm lucky in that I found a video of someone using my case
and a similar motherboard.
But do they really zoom in to where you could see
the wires go this way or this way?
Yeah, he takes his time.
I don't know, it's a 35-minute video.
He skips through the turning of screws and stuff like that,
but he tells you what he's going to do.
Placing the motherboard in particular,
he was talking about how it could be frustrating,
and he gave tips to alleviate that. He talked about how the motherboard in particular, he was talking about how it could be frustrating, and he gave tips to alleviate that.
And he talked about how the stays or whatever, the screw posts that are poking up from the back of the case,
how to align everything and which ones you need and which ones you don't with that motherboard.
So I haven't put it in, obviously, yet.
It's sitting on my table upstairs, and that's what I'm about to do when I go back up there probably.
But, yeah, I imagine that will be one of the more
frustrating parts. The cable
management will be easy, I think, because
I got a big panel to hide most everything,
and he does an
excellent job of cable management in his
video, so I've got him to copy.
And I got
the desk going, too. I got my
lumbers being planed this afternoon,
apparently. I wasn't able to be there because I'm doing this.
And I found a sawmill to plane it for me.
And I think I'm going to stain it really, really dark
to the point where it's almost black,
but you can still see the grain
and do kind of a red and black thing.
I've got the Asus.
This will be pretty neat.
Are you going to show the room some?
I'm sure you'll show it to me.
Are you going to show it to the world?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to be proud of the room? I'm sure you'll show it to me. Are you going to show it to the world? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I want to be proud of the room when I'm done.
Because a part of researching this whole thing and learning about components and such is that everyone shows off their setup.
The battle station subreddit, I've been on there a lot.
I've been on the finished build little gallery on PC Parts Builder and seen all the finished products.
And everybody's really neat and tidy with their desks.
So, yeah, I'm going to build something that I want to show off.
All the wiring's either inside the wall or inside the desk.
Like, all the wiring.
I'm thinking about making my second monitor,
the 40-inch 4K, come down from the ceiling.
Because that's really cheap.
It's like a $60 sliding bracket thing
that, like, screws up there.
And it's, like, $20 more than hooking it onto the wall, but, like, 100% cooler.
So I'm having fun with it.
I'm having fun learning about cable management.
I didn't think that would be fun to learn about.
But every time I find a new way to hide a keyboard cable or something like that, I'm like, ooh, that's nice.
So I'm having a good time with it.
Kyle has a new hobby, a new passion more than just to be honest to be honest when i was up there just a
minute ago like like putting the putting those sticks of ram in and thinking like this is gonna
be over in like 45 minutes like once i get that cooler and it's done i wonder if taylor wants a
pc i literally i literally want to offer my my completely inept services to build Taylor a PC because I'm really enjoying it.
Yeah, it's like Legos for adults.
Like, I am enjoying it.
It's a lot of fun.
Cool.
Very neat.
I want to see the whole thing.
I want to see the battle station.
Yeah.
So you're obviously going to have that wide monitor front and center.
And then the 4K, what, above that, dropping from the ceiling?
It would be on the same distance from me,
but it would be able to either go up and out of the way
or down low enough to be like right at desk level.
And just those two monitors or is there more?
Yeah, I think it's just those two.
Okay.
Yeah.
I guess I could add maybe some more curved monitors in the future,
but I don't feel like spending another 2600 right at this moment um so plus for the time being
that'd be a tall order to render like if you ever played a game with three oh we gotta get two of
them then i gotta get two 1080s then uh yeah i would guess i don't know i haven't thought it
through but something like that it'd be a big job. I was watching Barnaclee's
Nerdgasm, probably saying his name
right, and he had a 4K
triple monitor video the other day,
like a 4K surround, and
I think he's
powering those with two Titans, but I'm not
sure. I don't recall, but
it was really cool. They were
big TVs, like maybe 50 inches,
and he's playing maybe
battlefield and he's in the tank and it looked like he was in a fucking tank it was cool yeah
there's a bunch of titan you probably know this by now that titan that name brand spans a couple
of them like it starts i have the og titan it's kind of a 780 ti like it's very close in performance
to that and uh but there's been a 980 titan as well and like
titan z and i think there's a titan that has two gpus on it yeah they're just gonna keep adding uh
numerals on at the end yeah i understand but he's got he's got two high-end graphics cards pushing
that thing so i would imagine two 1080s would push it too um but i'm not really interested in that
like the whole idea of all those monitors
it just seems like a lot of money to be spending on
pixels and I've got so many
already with this, I'm looking at this thing right now
and it's like I don't really want too much
more and I'm getting the vibe anyway
it depends on what you do
so Premiere Pro
I find that
having the entire
ultra wide screen to edit in is really nice.
Like it is,
it's great.
I would,
I wouldn't want to go backwards.
So I take the whole thing up,
I edit in Premiere Pro and then I've got the sides for all like my file
management stuff.
Like I'm constantly like you drag in your files,
you edit,
you're like,
whatever,
you know,
I'm like,
all right,
I took a drone shot that day.
So there's like extra work to do on the edges and i like that a lot so um uh and then the other window like that kind of has two monitors the third monitor just for like
other shit you know like i've got skype up so i can see it i'm monitoring some
upload or whatever it is so So I like my three monitors.
I don't know what I'd do with a fourth,
but probably something.
Yeah.
There's definitely a possibility of adding more monitors if I see a need
for it,
or if I see that I could get some benefit gaming wise from it.
I know I've always liked having the second monitor for like the map or the
hut or not the hut,
but like the compass,
like if there's some like second map that like is an overview of the whole country that you're like fighting in or whatever i like having that up
um so i'll definitely have something going on i've often thought about stuff like that like
you know can i have this thing and i want an advantage like okay borderlands right you play
borderlands with me yeah it would have been so nice if i could have the map up on like a mini monitor somewhere you know
because the way I play Borderlands is like
I run for 15 minutes
and then I check to see if I was running
in the right direction because
it's completely possible not
to be you can head towards that thing on the compass
then you check the map and you're like fuck there's
an obstacle between me and it and
I needed to be I needed the
goal to be on my left so
that i could come around and get to it um if i had a map in blur lands my whole experience would be
better um yeah i'm uh i'm interested in the in the vibe i was talking to chiz about this the other
night it's hard to ask chiz for advice because he immediately like first of all he bites your head
off like you're a dummy and then he gives uh what what i
never know if i never know if it's very he's so harsh when he gives the advice that i never know
if he's being harsh because i'm so stupid or because or and and because i should know this
he's treating you as stupid but you never know if it's appropriate or not yes thank you and uh and
so i was asking him i was like hey man, should I order this Vive right now?
Is there any reason I shouldn't?
Because, you know, it'll be here by Friday, and I could fucking go into VR Friday.
That'd be cool.
And he's like, oh, yeah, if you want to be one of those early adopters.
And I'm just like, well, how long is it going to be before Vive 2.0, you know?
And I'm not interested in the Oculus.
Just on principle, I don't care for how Oculus is doing business.
And the whole history of the company I'm somewhat up to date on. I don't care for it.
I definitely am going to be a Vive guy.
Just to insert my two cents in that, I think you're right.
And I think that it doesn't matter whether it's your principle or the product.
They both point to Vive. So there it is.
And what Chiz was saying was he was talking about the forces
that are behind Oculus and sure
lots of money and promotion are behind Oculus
but what is
Oculus? Because that's all that fucking matters.
You can tell me that Facebook is behind it all you want
I'm not buying a blue F
on the side of this thing. I want to go to virtual reality
with this thing. So I really
want the Vive. The only reason that
I'm not buying it is because I am somewhat afraid that they're going to announce
their next version or better lenses
or upgraded software,
upgraded hardware, something like that is going to
come and I'm going to be that
$800 mistake. Because of the
forces behind it,
I can imagine a scenario where
like Oculus 2
beats Vive 2.
If they've got that kind of stuff around.
But, yeah, I don't know.
I saw, I think it was J2Sense video.
He was showing off a couple,
he was talking about the Vive a little bit.
And he didn't really go too much into the gameplay.
I haven't watched too much gameplay at all.
But he was playing a bow and arrow game
where you physically are drawing the bow and firing it.
And that looked like so much fun.
I would love to do that.
I'd love to do that Star Trek Bridge Commander game.
He was playing some sort of immersive game that's like being in a horror movie.
He was reading clues and picking up folders and flipping through them.
And you're opening doors and walking around.
It looks very fun.
I don't know if the... Oh, I'm sorry. That was a break. I don't know if the Oculus has it,
but I know that Boogie was saying
the Vive does a really nice job
with integrating with YouTube.
I know that you haven't been uploading lately,
but it has an HDMI out
that would be suitable for YouTube videos,
whereas what you're seeing is two images,
one for each eye that does the thing.
But that would make for a lousy YouTube video.
I wouldn't want to watch it.
Well, my graphics card has
a couple of HDMIs
out, so you can run
one to the Vive and then one to a monitor.
Maybe that's what he was saying.
Yeah, so you'll be able to...
Maybe he has something that accomplishes
the same thing, but with the 1080
you've got two or three.
It's a lot of ports on the Asus in particular. But um anyway i'll be able to have the monitor playing what i'm seeing
and uh so if someone's in the room with me they're not just like watching some guy like do
do a bunch of stupid shit for no reason so i think it's gonna be fun i'm really i'm wondering what
room size you need for the the vive because that could throw a wrench in things i could i would
have to change rooms which isn't a huge deal, but I
kind of want to be in this room back over
here. But you're sizing your desk for the
room, so that makes it a big deal.
It is. I can't
go any... My boards are
like... The room's 9 feet 7
inches from one end to the other, and that's how long
the desk is going to be. But I
could always go shorter than that and stick it somewhere else.
There's actually a spot right here that would be
incredible. Wow. That would be outrageous.
But anyway.
I didn't know that VR came with a room size.
Like, that's not a Kinect.
What are you, crazy? Go on.
Well, you've got the sensors
pointing at you and
knowing where everything is, I suppose.
Okay. I don't know
exactly how it works. I haven't done very much research at all,
just kind of what you see in commercials and stuff
and a few Google searches.
But I also keep hearing, and maybe Jay said this,
that the older you are, the more amazing it is to you.
He's like, you know, I give it to my daughter,
and she's like, oh, okay.
She's driving the car.
And, you know, you look around, and you can look out this And, you know, you look around and you can see the, you can look out this window.
And if you raise your head, you can see the hood.
And if you look down, you can see, you know, more of the sky.
And, you know, she's just like, no, all right, race car game.
But he's like, you know, I hand it to my 70-year-old dad.
And he's just like, magic!
It's magic!
So I want to do that with my dad too.
I've been talking to him a little bit about it.
I was going to be like i'm
halfway there but i'm more than halfway there yeah i uh i've always had that that that fantasy
right of virtual reality um i don't know when i was growing up it was super site it was science
fiction big time virtual reality was as much as like there was this uh this um this fox maybe it was short-lived but
there was a show on fox called vr5 about this hot chick who somehow had a modem that would suck her
into the computer and now she's living in a virtual world and the things that she does there
were somehow affecting real life or something it was a little bizarre but it was called vr5
and the idea of getting sucked into this virtual world was so cool you know both and she was literally getting sucked in you know like
so i don't even remember the science behind that bullshit just the idea of putting this thing on
and and having my you know when you look at your hands they're there you know they're cartoony hands
but your hands in particular i feel like a vr fight flight simulator would appeal to me like you've talked
about the star trek bridge thing and i'm like yeah i can see how that's cool you talked about
driving to me i want to see flight simulator okay i'm on it flight would be real cool and um
you know you you could you could fly like superman you could even do something like that but yeah
like you said um if you had the the controls um like a yoke i guess and uh dude i i think you know you see those amazing battle stations where
there's actually a cockpit and that cockpit to me can be a motorcycle car or airplane but just
you know a cockpit is a concept dude like get rid of your monitors those monitors are
children's things you Now it's about
controls and VR.
Am I back?
You are back.
So we kind of held off on Game of Thrones
talk. Thank you.
And we talked about computers and
video games and such.
Alright, so I didn't miss much.
Yeah, my computer just totally shit out.
You were saying like... Oh, you know. It's computer just totally shit out. You were saying, like,
Oh, you know,
it's funny you should mention that. I was saying while you were gone,
I was like, you know, I'm really enjoying this, putting this
PC together so much that, like, as I
was doing it, and I'm moving along pretty
quickly, and I can compare my progress to the video's
progress, and I'll be done in an hour and a half.
I was
thinking, like,
I'm gonna be all out of computer to build
I want to build you a computer
me?
yes
you're looking for a budget challenge
this is not a free computer
it's free services
free services and all that
but I would like to build you an RX 480
computer using that
graphics card because that's a $200
graphics card that's VR capable
and it's a
brand new, like Nvidia
the card that I'm wanting to get
they were like let's put out this thousand
horsepower monster that'll crush
everything and on the other end
of it AMD was like let's see
how much bang we can put into the tiniest
package and sell it for $200
and it's a lot of bang.
If you had two of those things.
Yeah.
Um,
I,
but,
but like,
I don't know what your budget would be,
but for need 15 grand,
we get ran.
Oh,
I think one grand,
a grand,
I think a grand would get us pretty fucking deep.
Um,
I,
I,
I,
that's not that much.
He's like an I five.
What is it?
The 6,600 K, it, the 6600K?
The AMD
RX 480?
Some motherboard
16 gigs of RAM and
off you go.
Power supply that gives power.
Then
send me a report
consisting of all of the
things I need.
An itemized list.
An itemized list. And I just want to
stipulate that while I
will stand behind my technical build
because it's just simple. It's fucking Legos. It really is
plugging shit in and if I plug it in wrong
I'll be like, oh, that's wrong and
everything's labeled. That's not going to be a problem
but picking out the
parts, I'll definitely, it won't be just me
picking out parts off the top of my head. I do some research because i'm really enjoyed it i've
really i've enjoyed doing it for myself yeah and plus i feel like to have your expertise and i like
the way that you talked about building a pc because i had so many friends in high school
who would be like oh yeah i'm building my own pc and people who build their own PCs fucking relish the idea of you
assuming them building a PC is them like putting the mask down and soldering
things yeah like actually building the PC and then my first friend explained it
to me he was like well he showed me he's like I built this this is like maybe
2007 and he's like I built this tower it's awesome you know i'm like wow you built that that looks like a professional computer that's
incredible and he's like well yeah i just i ordered the case and then i ordered the stuff in there and
i'm like so you had to like solder it stuff and like and like make a motherboard like that's crazy
how'd you even know how to do that you're like a savant and well no i i just i ordered that offline too so what you did was that would be like me saying i built the millennium
falcon and you come over and i've constructed the lego set you know it says hard right on there
yeah it said it would take 12 plus years finished it in three days that was the age yeah and the other thing is like
you know if it's not the soldering it's like i built my own computer whoa oh yeah the circuit
design was the toughest part like you know like no dude you didn't invent shit you bought parts
and you plugged them in and by the way they only went together one way like you can't put the cpu in wrong you can't do these things like you just the hardest part well i i found that getting every wire right was a bit
of a pain in the ass i did it slowly but one of the hardest parts is just buying a build
that's not criticizable yeah no we'll be mocked, right? Yeah, someone's going to be. That was my number one priority.
Not performance, not affordability.
It was, will this be mocked?
Will someone go, ha!
You spent hours of research, thousands of dollars,
and here's how it could have been better.
Fuck you!
I don't want to know that.
And then they do that anyway.
They'll be like, ah, here's how it could have been better.
And then there's like a 980 Ti in it.
And you're like, well, but it's much cheaper cheaper yeah but anyway i get to prioritize what i think is important
and you know this is what i want i definitely skimped on the motherboard but wireless is
important to me i like i want to run wireless internet to the thing so i got a motherboard
that supports that that has that and there aren't very many the ones that there are expensive i
think it's like 350 bucks for the motherboard. I could have gotten a $200 motherboard that would have done everything else
the same. I have 32 gigs
of RAM. Is there a special motherboard for
a computer to work wirelessly?
So the wireless
networking adapter or whatever it's called
can either be an add-on or
a
standard thing that's on
the motherboard. It seems like
most of the time it's an add-on because I don't think a lot of people
want wireless internet on there.
But I
didn't want to add it on. I wanted it on the motherboard.
I have 32 gigs of RAM.
Nowadays, most people consider that on the high end
of appropriate.
But my computer is like two and a half years old,
something-ish. I don't know, three years old. And at the time
they're like, 32 gigs of RAM?
You know, you're a fucking retard and there are people putting more over
64 then 128 or something like crazy stuff that that's so that would probably
be the equivalent of me putting in 32 a few years ago and it's like yeah I know
but like now that like time is passed and i kind of like scores posted
i'm happy you know i've got premiere pro and photoshop up both of them 24 hours a day i use
them every day i hate closing them i like having like my my premiere pro has like 18 videos in the
most recent video because i just fire up new sequences i use use a lot of RAM, and I'm glad I've got more than 16 for me.
Chiz has been saying he's got to build together himself,
and he's saying that he'll pull the trigger when he sees mine all hooked up
or something like that.
No, I think what he said was he was going to do it later in the fall
when maybe new cards came out.
But what I said was when he saw mine glowing all beautiful,
he's going to be like bye now
paypal and paypal in particular makes it so easy to to just go to town spending a bunch of money
on electronics it was i might have clicked three times and three grand was gone oh yeah it was
paypal's risky with that just like amazon one click shopping that's what i use where it's like
man this is a really cool replica knife from boardwalk empire let's see well i guess i'm getting one
be here thursday do this now or let's just let this happen you know yeah i love the one click
shopping i think i like the buying experience and amazon i just i feel like the rest of the world
you know you ask them to deliver something.
It may happen.
It may not happen.
They're just people.
Be understanding, et cetera.
Amazon is like, holy fuck.
Sound the alarms.
Woody ordered a fucking new wallet.
You know, same day shipping, right?
That's a thing.
I literally get same day shipping here.
Like I, I ordered it and I was like, oh, look, same-day shipping is free if you're in Prime.
I'll try it.
I was shocked when it showed up that day.
I was like, I didn't know you were serious about that the whole time.
And there they were.
And by the way, it was delivered by U.S. Postal Service.
Wow.
Everyone acts like they're terrible.
That's the most impressive part of of that the fact that they got
it delivered yeah U.S. Postal Service is all I don't know everyone hates on them right especially
and I hate to get political because we do it every show Republicans Republicans love to act like they
are the worst organization in the world dude they'll send a letter from here to freaking Alaska for like 50 cents.
If you gave me 50 cents, I wouldn't give it to my neighbor.
I'd be like, no, fuck off.
Have you considered that?
It's not really for 50 cents, though.
That's how much we paid at point of purchase.
It didn't really cost the taxpayer 50 cents to send that.
You are subsidizing the U.S..s postal service i don't think they take
any federal money anymore yeah i think they did do they not ever since now they have to compete
with ups i believe that's the case or fedex i think i read a sign in the post office that said
we don't get any federal money or something like that like like they were pretty up front about
and they lowered their prices but do you remember the post office before
FedEx came around
yeah back when it was 32 cents
it was affordable before
competition forced them to make a
non-shit service
everyone says that they never lost my mail
they don't lose my mail
they used to charge like 32 cents
and they'd take it anywhere and it showed up in a few days
I was just like I don't know why everybody hates you guys like they never got the magic cards to me
on time all of my trading card game supplies i would have to be like all right i'm going to
something three weeks from now i better fucking anticipate what my strategy is going to be and
order some cards because i can't trust these fuckers to get it here on time otherwise when
it says five to seven day shipping or something as like the worst case scenario,
I always would add a few days because it's like, ah, nah.
Maybe business days.
Hey, do you want to talk about Game of Thrones?
I want to go. Let me go.
Yeah.
I feel like there's no pleasing me, right?
So look, I enjoyed episode 10.
I'll even say episode 10 was probably top three this year,
and this might be the best year ever.
Having said that, I feel like Game of Thrones is like,
I don't know, bipolar on their pacing.
More happened in episode 10 than season four, right?
Like everything, they just checked every box spoilers coming r plus l equals
j seriously blows up westross danny's headed across the sea aria is a master assassin um am i
missing any big check marks on this like well i i think what you've got to keep in mind is you know
you got a picture you have to picture the big story arc of Game of Thrones.
It's not like it's the wire.
They just all happen to land on
the same episode? No way.
Because, like, if this was the Game of Thrones
of two years ago,
is his name Varys? Varys? Whatever that guy's
name is? Right? There would be
seasons devoted to his journey back
and forth to Dorne. Because they literally
devoted a fucking season to Tyrion
traveling to see Daenerys, right?
I'm not making this up.
No, he was just, well, between
seasons. No, no.
There was like a season of him on the
boat, him on the land, him
talking his way out of them taking his midget
cock, you know.
It was only a couple episodes. I don't think that was a whole season.
It was nearly a season of
him traveling to denarius it's another issue of pacing of there's so much shit to be achieved
that they they kind of have to pace it oddly and i think i mean these these end of season things
where they have a bunch of things come to fruition like at the end of the day it's a it's an hbo
program they want to make money so of course they're going to end it with a ton of things come to fruition like at the end of the day it's a it's an hbo program
they want to make money so of course they're going to end it with a ton of shit where you're
like oh god i can't wait for the next season a whole nother year like they've already got people
hyped up but i hear you but the pacing i don't think you can the pacing is bipolar and there's
no way to deny that it is just completely undeniable that like i i swear episode 10 of season 6 did as much as season 4 did
you know i think in terms of plotline advancement i don't think it should be a consistent like ah
yes we hit our high hat of excitement for this episode now we move into the three minutes of
somber brooding by character x uh i think that that is what partially keeps it exciting.
Like you don't know watching an episode if it's going to go crazy or if it's
going to be a buildup episode.
There's a lot of cool things.
You get a treat episode.
A couple of things happened in episode 10 that I feel like they didn't cook
properly.
Like,
you know,
in terms of storytelling,
you can let it simmer a little bit sometimes.
And I complain about this.
They let it simmer way too long.
But like episode 9.
Perfect. Amazing.
They told you two things
over the course of an hour.
It was perhaps the best episode
of Game of Thrones that's ever been.
Right? Then season, or episode
10 comes along and all the
sudden it's a whole season worth of stuff
that happened and I just feel like you didn't really cook it properly.
You didn't,
I don't know.
I don't think it was a whole C it was a whole seasons worth,
if you will,
of like the action happening and the decisions finally being handed down.
But what built up to all of those decisions was episodes and episodes and
tons of minor little plot devices along the way so
the various stuff right the various stuff by itself right he leaves he goes to dorn he like
meets with is her name oberyn what's the no what his name the marta the martel grandmother
oh oh well no the martel grandmother i'm talking about right he meets with the martel
grandmother it's like o-y-l-l-n or something like that elena it's elena that's the tyrells
oh i'm sorry what did i say the the uh elena tyrell met with the martells, who are the uninteresting sand folk. Yes.
So Grandma Tyrell met with the people of Dorne.
Varys was there.
And then Varys is back on the ship.
That kind of thing, they would literally devote, like, 40 minutes of screen time to, like,
just traveling back and forth to Dorne in previous seasons, right?
The whole, like, Jaime, Bronn thing in Dorne, previous seasons right the whole like Jaime Bronn thing
in Dorne right they did that there
the whole Tyrion traveling
thing they did that there like this is
consistent now I guess thankfully
they didn't spend too much time on the travel but
they didn't cook
the things that happened in this
episode somehow to me
I didn't mind I looked
at the map a little bit to see just how much traveling
Varys was doing there.
Because sometimes, and I think I've got
the map pretty well down now. I know where King's
Landing is as far as the continents
go and everything. And I wanted to know where
Old Town was too. I was like, where the fuck is Old Town?
It's kind of southwest
on the Westerosi
continent. But he did,
he made a pretty good boat journey but it
wasn't like he made like it wasn't the boat journey that sam made like remember when sam
went from the the wall down to uh fucking wherever yeah i don't think he he took the boat to like uh
oh yeah because he went by his home first yeah yeah like that was a pretty long boat ride he
went on um it wasn't that bad i feel like you
needed him back on the boat with them um yeah and i just assume when i see stuff like that that lots
of time has passed because it has yeah i forget there was um i didn't notice it watching myself
but i watched you know there's like alt shift X and some other Game of Thrones YouTube channels. They were able
to be like, you know, well, not only
did that take some time, but
the Arya getting to kill the Freys,
which is a whole other storyline, by the way,
that just popped up.
Like, Arya left Braavos,
and then the next thing we know, she's got a knife
at some guy's throat, you know, Walter Freys.
I didn't catch that
in the meals was his two
sons. Fingers. Yeah.
They're right here, my lord.
They were hard to carve.
Especially Black Waldo.
Somehow that whole thing didn't
process as I watched it in the show, but then I saw
I go to these YouTube videos and I was like,
ooh, so he served him his two sons.
It took Walter a minute to catch on, too. Did you just think that he was like you know i'm a vegetarian you know and then she'd be
like ah you've been foiled again so her journey there i i want to know about that one too i was
like how long is that's the main reason i was looking at the map i was like characters moved
around a lot this last episode seemingly how far did they move so bravos um is sort of on the northwestern
edge of uh essos um so she he has so she crosses the the sea but yeah that's yeah the narrow sea
and uh when she gets over to westeros it's not that far to get to the
wait a minute they were at the
not the twins
but what's it called
where are the frays from where was that held
that's the twins
is it the twins
yeah the frays control the riverlands there
that's the riverlands
you're right so it's not that far it wasn't that far to the
twins they all seem plausible journeys i guess so the youtube video i was talking about
said yes some time has passed we know this not just by various teleportation with air quotes
but we also know it by aria's journey as well like they're not these things all took some time they just didn't devote a season to
traveling on boat and sand like they once did so i'm okay with that yeah and if you remember back
like like we talked you talked you mentioned tyrian's journey from west rose to to essos to
get to the calise but they literally skipped over the boat ride itself they they showed him
at the end of one season he's on the boat let there was They showed him, at the end of one season, he's on the boat.
No, I remember him vomiting.
I remember him being... There was a whole boat scene.
One boat scene is nothing compared to what
actually happened in the book.
They skipped
the entire thing of
Tyrion being on the boat, going
slowly up the river as he's
deteriorating into alcoholism and then the stone men jump down and attack the boat and slowly up the river as he's deteriorating into alcoholism.
And then the stone men jump down and attack the boat,
and it's a big thing.
That was a huge amount of time, and they just skipped it,
which I'm glad because that wouldn't have been very...
He was in a box the whole time.
Yeah, he was in a box the whole time in the boat.
And then he was on a box like they were carried or something over land,
and he did sort of devolve into alcoholism in the show too.
They spent some time
on the journey.
It took a while to get there, but I like
that because the time was spent with Jorah
and that was a huge part of the story.
Learning more about Jorah,
Jorah learning more about Tyrion.
Them not really becoming friends, but
coming to an understanding
and they're both honorable men, so that worked out
for them in the end, for both of them.
Tyrion kind of speaks up for Jorah in front of the Khaleesi and vice versa.
I didn't have a problem with that.
If they spend a whole season going from one end of the continent to the other
and a lot of stuff happens that makes the character grow, I'm good with it.
But we don't want to hang out with just berries by himself.
There's some friends that are better
if you've got Paul and John too.
You don't want to hang out with just Rick
because just Rick by himself is no fun.
But if you've got Paul and John there, we can all have a good time.
Yeah, then it's the crew.
You just slap berries on the back.
Yeah, man, look at those
flowers over there. Don't worry about those
women berries.
I'm going to take a piss. Let's just... Yeah, man, look at those flowers over there. Don't worry about those women. Varys has some of my...
I'm going to take a piss.
Let's just...
You want to watch?
Varys' wisdom and his conversations
have some of the highest highs in the whole show history to me.
But you're right.
He needs people to talk to.
Yeah, right.
Varys by himself I've never seen do anything interesting.
But please, if you happen to be in charge of the Game of Thrones
and you're watching this
it would be really neat if Varys and Littlefinger
talked again I'd like to see them talk
all the time that's some of the greatest
stuff. Varys is like a character that's
great but like Kyle said like he needs
he needs someone
to banter with in all of his scenes
like he's not as independently
like Tyrion can talk
to a slave or something
who's clearly not educated and be
funny and have banter
and get it going. Varys isn't like that.
He's just more of a somber character. You couldn't have
Varys being clever
with a beggar at King's Landing
being like, oh, you don't
even begin to know the impact
the Queen has on your life.
And he's like, you what?
What are you saying?
I worked on the docks of dicks!
So, do you guys not see my thing at all
where maybe season 10, while good,
packed too much into it?
They didn't fully cook some of the things.
I was 100% happy with it
because I feel like it gets us fresh for the war to come.
I feel like it was getting all the...
It was like, forget...
Let's get...
It was putting an end to the game.
Everything that's been happening so far ended.
It all hit a dead end,
and it's all changing directions now.
Everything is completely broken,
put back together,
or realigned in some way. And now it's
time for everything to coalesce again, and
go in different directions at different people.
Because now you've got, the North
is together now. All the way
down to Riverrun, I would imagine,
because you've got the Freys
knocked out now. They'll get washed
right over. You've got the
Tullys are going to take Riverrun,
led by Edmure now,
who's pissed as fuck
after spending the last couple years in a prison.
And he's a decent actor.
I get him back out of the mix.
The old Ironborn, the uncle,
he's obviously going to side with Cersei
to maybe try to give her his fat cock.
And Cersei,
with the best wardrobe that I've ever
seen in Game of thrones that episode
looked like some sort of warrior queen herself she looks so menacing and that smile on when when
when the baler uh when the sept of baler blows up that smile is just i loved it i i i i could
i related to her and i never brutal there's more so and this would be hard to pick up on your own but john snow
being azor ahai right that like warrior that saves everybody had more proof like he was supposed to
be born under the protection of like the sword with the shooting star right so then they go back
and they play ned having taken this like special sword from the guy that he just
killed by stabbing him in the back or whatever um the other guy stabbed him in the back and he
caught him so that sword they put it at the base of the bed and it has like a comet on it or
something in their sigil and like it just lays out all the pieces of the prophecy so john snow is azor high almost indisputable and cool i'm
down with that you know what else i learned that i wasn't sure on before the mountain is almost
100 definitely an unnatural being at this point with some he it there is some some demon magic
going on there do you see his face? I saw his face brightened up.
I'm sure we all saw it.
And I read through that thread for literally an hour and a half
and tried to absorb as much, you know, information about that as I could.
Everyone was, I think most people understood that he was probably going to rape her.
But then there was the conversation of, you know,
can a zombie even get it up?
Rape the septa, you know, the big nun.
Oh, okay.
Oh, yeah.
He takes the helmet off, you know.
I thought it was very clear that Cersei commanded the mountain to rape the nun or whatever.
Yeah, he's done that before.
Like, that's his thing.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, he's a bad guy.
He's all about
right yeah and a prolific murderer for people that don't know the the mountain's all about
rape that's a thing that he does he loves rape um he goes from like village to village just
raping him and uh sometimes he doesn't even have complete approval to like take out that village
so now all of a sudden like i think robert baratheon is in, like, a weird position.
He's like, oh, shit, you know.
I really like having him on my side, but he's kind of embarrassing me with all this rape.
We'll see.
That's what, like, the stories were.
They're like, well, they're coming across towns, and all the men are cut in half.
They're like, hmm, who could have done this?
The seven kingdoms could swing hard enough to kill 30 men.
Cutting them in half.
The mountain, there's no other person named the mountain or the titan or the monolith in this entire region.
So it's got to be fucking you.
And you just put your fucking email signature is
rapin' all day air day.
So, come on.
It's not helping out. Like, we know it's you.
Yeah, so, so I think he
is definitely an unnatural being
now, which, which, which, um,
makes me think that, like, you know,
that dark sorcerer, what's
Cersei's, uh, he's now the Hand of the Queen,
uh, Cersei's, uh, maester. What's his name? I the hand of the queen uh cersei's uh maester what's
his name i don't even remember his i call him evil maester so evil maester um is definitely up to not
only what i used to think was like science i used to think he was a scientist that's what i thought
about him i was like this guy's got tubes and hoses and stuff like clearly he's trying to purify
he's trying to do some sort of blood dialysis to the mountain some sort of medieval blood dialysis i was like wow
this is science not magic it only appears to be magic because you know they'll say you know
these are medieval people so now i'm pretty sure there's some there's some magic going on there
because and i'm sure we all noticed the mountain hasn't changed his armor since the last time someone stabbed him.
Like, I bet he just smells like a big rotting corpse all the time with flesh slothing off.
Did you guys answer, were we intended to think that that stabbing hit him or there was space in the chest plate?
I think it was intended to show that it hit him because it clearly got in there really deep.
He just didn't care.
Yeah, they said his blood ran black now.
In the books, it's that other guy.
He's got a fake name.
I guess that's a book spoiler.
Let's not talk about that.
But anyway, yeah, the mountain got hit in the heart
with some sort of baseball bat with spikes on it.
And the mountain, you know, I guess it made him angry but he noticed it yeah
he was like that's about all you could say he was offended and even then barely noticed it it was
only when cersei commanded him to do something that he kind of was like well all right time to
do this fatality that's why i was thinking I've been thinking the whole time that
the mountain has some sort of
black magic evil shit in him
that is only available
now that the dragons are back and magic's
reintroduced or whatever because there's
no fucking way that that crazy ass
maester, that this is the first time he's
tried this. Yeah, I'm the last one to
jump to conclusions, but I felt certain of that.
There are dozens of cobbled together, failed
golems thrown in the back there
of just dead people that he sewed together, and he's
like, goddammit, it didn't work. And then he did it with the mountain,
and the magic is back in the world,
and it worked. The same shit worked.
And even he's like, wow.
Do you remember why they kicked him out? Why they broke
his chain, or whatever they call it?
It was because of his dark experiments.
Yeah.
He was dabbling with dark magic.
As you do.
Yeah. And for a while, I guess
dabbling in dark magic just was kind of like a
crackpot alchemist thing of
like, oh yeah, you do your thing.
You try and bring back those evil
souls, and
now he can do shit for real.
I want to see him make his own undead army
to engage in a perennial battle
with the undead coming from the north.
Constant battle.
Undead and undead.
How does that work, though?
Do you think he could make more of them?
To me, he would die
and then he'd come back on the other team.
Much like that game mode in modern warfare 3 zombies no infected yeah
yeah your point of it being crowded in episode 10 i think really what they want the reason they
did that and they wanted to finish it all is because they they're trying to aggregate a lot of the storylines because before this it was like think think of like 10 different tendrils
and storylines and they kind of were like all right now there's four like we got everybody into
four i like it i just feel like now like i'm thinking back i'm like well what happened episode
five could that have had a little more you, so that it could have cooked properly?
Why not aggregate those storylines over Episode 8, 9, and 10?
Or 7 through 10?
You know, they didn't.
We knew that Varys was out there on a journey.
And I was, you know, you could only speculate for like two or three episodes as to where he went and what he was up to.
Wait, no, it was literally leave in 10 and come back in 10.
No.
He left before the Khaleesi got back.
So he left in 8. Are you right? Am I wrong?
Yeah.
I could be wrong.
Because he wasn't there.
Mayo left in 7 because, you know, they stagger when the Khaleesi's on screen.
He definitely was in Dorne in 10 and on the boats in 10.
That's definitely true.
Absolutely, yes.
I think Taylor really hit it on the head, though.
You know, for a long time,
the story seemed to just creep along
at such a slow pace, and I bet
if you look at when that was happening, it was probably
season 4, when they
had the most characters and the
most storylines, and you could
only give the Khaleesi 7 minutes.
You could only give Jon Snow
9 minutes a week, but like you said, if you put
Khaleesi and Jon Snow in the same room,
all of a sudden you get them both for 20
minutes, and that's nice.
This might be unpopular,
but I kind of wish Game of Thrones would end
next year. I feel like
two years is too much.
There's not enough time to wrap it up.
Oh, work harder. No, I'm okay with
a 12- 12 episode season or
something, but just get your shit
done. What they're doing instead,
I think this is rumor,
a 7 episode season and an 8 episode
season or vice versa.
I'm like, really? You're going to do that and
stretch the shit over to your stop?
Yeah, I wish
R. Martin would just write a giant
phone book sized book instead of two more
I wish it would just be gargantuan I'm okay with them spreading it out it's more time it's
I I want content for us I want to be in love with this show for another year I love this show I
really love it I'll tell you another thing that I noticed from episode 10 that was the tops in this
episode in particular was the music that opening uh music it's a it starts out with a piano and
you know you're seeing all the pieces
kind of fall into place. Cersei's getting dressed, Margaery's
getting dressed, the people are filing into the courtroom
the sept, everybody's
getting ready and that piano music keeps playing
building tension, the cellos start coming in
more tension, more tension
and then it goes away for a while and then it
comes back. It was so good, it built so much
tension, it was
excellent. and of course
the the white wolf the whole new king in the north uh scene got more lady mormont she come
she's the best yeah dude i fuck it killed your son at the red wedding and you didn't fight
they skinned your father alive and you didn't fight and Lord Glover
and just like when it was over
he's just like Lady Mormont
speaks harshly
truly
I felt like every like
proud man in the room wanted to like
throw his hat on the ground in shame
and like look down and cry
if I was there I'd have been like
fuck it I pledge my sword
to Lady Mormont.
John, you're cool
and everything, but this bitch rocks.
It was great. She's like, I've only got
one king, the king in the north.
And then each of them in turn
pledges their service to her.
It was very good. That was a powerful
scene. It was as good
as the first one, I think.
I really liked that. I like that was a powerful scene um it was as good as the first one i think and uh i like that character a lot i like yes lady i think that now that like the books are
like behind the storyline dnd can be a little more flexible and like work lady mormon in next
year here's an interesting thing lady Lady Mormont is at an age
where she's going to brand this thing.
She will be a different looking human
in two years.
Unless they just completely
change their mind and there's a new Lady Mormont
next year.
Which is exactly what they did with
Daenerys' lover
where two seasons ago it was some crazy guy
with a gap tooth and a blue
facial hair, or blue hair, and then
they just show up the next season as a normal
looking Italian guy, and you're like
what the fu-
That's not the same guy, you never even addressed it.
It's only because I know that's supposed to be the same
guy that I know, because she's given him
flirty eyes, but you have to like
have at least a little bit of dialogue, like
oh, I'm liking your hair brown
more. Ah, yes, blue
was an oversight.
I like the scene where she's
breaking up with him, and she says,
remember, you swore.
You swore your sword to me. You swore your life to me.
I want him to be like, that was a different actor.
And this blue poop is still fucking.
Remember, that guy didn't have a beard i want that pussy that's great hey i haven't the game of thrones talk racked up let me think if there's anything else i want to mention
um the r plus l because j stuff the transition between the baby and john i loved like that was
a very powerful moment. It was an emotional
episode. It felt like powerful moment
after powerful moment, and I loved it.
Part of my
little gaming setup has got some
Game of Thrones shit stuck in it, so this is going to be fun.
I love the show so much.
I'm looking forward to the new book.
It's probably my favorite
entertainment
platform.
I don't know.
What am I looking for here?
If we're comparing universe.
I think it's my favorite universe.
Me too.
Absolutely.
Yeah, it's very good.
Marvel's good to me too.
I like it as well.
Although, if Peter Jackson comes out, spends the next five years getting his shit together,
and then makes a Lord of the Rings prequel
with Morgoth and lots of
I don't know, that battle of Numenor
or some shit.
That would be better than the original trilogy.
I think they need to do The Hobbit again
and just treat it like when they
did The Hulk
with Keanu Reeves and then they did it with
Edward Norton, where they just completely
didn't mention it. It wasn't Keanu Reeves.
Who was it in the original one?
The one with the Ang Lee directed.
The one where the
dogs are attacking him. Oh shit.
Fucking
Oh fuck. I can't think of his name.
Well it was terrible.
And then the next
the subsequent Hulk. They didn't
address the lore that it happened they just
pretended that it didn't exist
that's what they need to do eventually with the Hobbit is remake it
correctly do what they do in Spider-Man movies
just fuck it Tobey Maguire never existed
Kirsten Dunst's teeth were never here
just move along
what were you saying Woody
well it doesn't happen until it happens
I'm supposed to fly tomorrow morning.
Oh, I can't believe you said that out loud.
Yeah.
Don't you know the old airman adage?
You know, if you want to fly, keep it nigh.
I don't think you do well in a freestyle rap battle.
Yeah, so it's weather dependent.
And then last time, the weather was strong enough for literally one flight.
And it was some other, well, two, I guess.
The instructor went, tested the air.
And then the other student went.
And then it was like my turn.
And they're like, ah, too windy.
Fuck.
And then the next day was never even a close call.
Like you wake up in the morning and it was just crazy windy.
So that was that.
Tomorrow I'm supposed to fly.
And I was supposed to go tomorrow and the next day.
But that might change based on weather reports.
I'm not sure.
But it looks like tomorrow morning I'm flying.
I'll believe it when I see it i'm not far uh everyone like my
wife like blames me she's like you think you're ready you know i'm not so sure and it's like what
do you know like why are you doubting me i was supposed to fly two lessons ago aviation expert
i just like why are you doing this to me uh you know she's like you're never
happy i'm glad marco's you know like making you extra slow and it's like ah i guess you know
marco was gonna have me fly on lesson six but the weather didn't work out so i took six and then
seven when it didn't work out now i'm going eight why are you doubting that i'm ready on eight when
i was ready on six i'm even better anybody else in your class who's also being kind of slowed down?
So, like, are you in class eight with a bunch of class sixers who are expecting to fly then?
I don't understand the question.
It's kind of the opposite.
Like, did you start a class?
Do you start classes for flying independently?
Or is it like, all right, aviation class of 2016, congratulations.
So, I started with a group
and I am the only one in that group who's already flying so I think it's the
opposite of what you were thinking yeah there's a couple other guys who are
gonna join us like afternoon but they're not flight ready so I'm they're pushing
me into people who've been training longer hopefully you get you get up in
the air I would I want two things. Hopefully you get up in the air.
I want two things.
One is to get up in the air.
I would really like that.
Two, on day one, they teach me to kite that wing.
And then it's like, hey, practice this at home.
I hope that I'm encouraged and approved to fly at home.
Like, yeah, Woody, all right.
Now you're golden golden i want you to
fly to get 20 flights and come back like that would be great to me i hope it's not like all
right you can do this but you without me talking in the radio in your ear this is no go for you
like i if i were to come home in that status then it would only be a partial win at this point though
if he tells you,
I don't want you up in the air without me in your ear, pilot,
you could just say, yeah, no thanks.
I feel pretty comfortable.
I'm going to go ahead and fly around my own manor.
Thank you.
I haven't done that yet.
That's always on the table.
You don't even need lessons.
The whole reason he's teaching me is just so I don't kill myself.
I could divert from that path or not any time.
But thus far, I've been listening to my expert.
If he thinks I'm not ready to fly solo, I'll probably think the same.
But I'm hoping that it's like, yeah, you got this.
You know, go fucking explore Raleigh.
You know, like, I hope that's where the next step.
Hopefully it works out.
Dude, I have been chomping at the bit to fly.
Every day, like, how come you hold me back?
I want to go, I want to go, I want to go.
Like an insolent three-year-old.
And then when it was time to fly and it was actually my turn,
I didn't say it out loud,
but in my head I'm like,
can I just back the fuck out of all of this? Like, can I just pretend I didn't say it out loud, but in my head I'm like, can I just back the fuck out of all of
this? Like, can I just pretend I didn't tell everyone I was taking lessons? Can I just, like,
I was kind of nervous and I'm interested to see how that carries over. Like, flying when it was
an abstract concept, like watching other people in their paramotors via YouTube video was really cool. Now that I picture me in that seat like 600 feet in the air, like, like, hell.
You don't want to be the guy tumbling down, screaming in fear that me and Kyle are laughing at in a YouTube video.
I want those straps to be really secure.
And they are.
There's like double straps.
Like if the straps give out, there's another one holding you in.
But I just like, I don't know.
If I sat you on a lawn chair
600 feet in the air,
you'd just be like, dude,
what if I tip forward or something? I don't know.
The whole thing seems...
You can't because there's a backpack strap
on, but I...
I'm a little psyched out
by this whole scenario. i think it happens tomorrow morning
i think once you're up in the air like actually taking off very quickly you'll be like this is
awesome i love this or very quickly you'll be like what the fuck was i thinking? I don't belong in the sky.
I'm a human being with a fan on my back, soaring anxiously at God's whim, staying in the air.
By the mercy of nature, you are held aloft.
So one of those two thoughts.
I am even more psyched out than I was 30 seconds ago.
I just – You're going to be fine.
You're going to love it.
There's a real chance that I'm – like I don't know.
Bird collision is a thing.
I'm 100% sure.
Sure it is.
Not really.
It's because in most things the prop leads.
There's a safety netting that goes between me and the prop.
So the birds would have to come from behind and catch you or something but if they hit you head I'm talking
about you not the fan I'm hitting me if you're going 30 and the goose is going
30 like that's a goose hits you at 60 miles per hour at altitude if a goose
hits you going 60 miles an hour you're already dead like that's that
thing's probably out for geese i i watched one youtube video where a guy was talking about how
he's had uh bird problems up there so what he does is he takes a bird feeder drills in slightly
larger holes fills it with bread crumbs and just allows his flight machine to trail it so that all the birds kind of fall
into line as opposed to flying out in front yeah i don't believe you people
stay low so he is the lead goose and they just flank off him in a giant v
aerodynamic that way the birds don't mind they're getting that draft kind of like when you drive behind
a semi save a little bit of gas sure sure yeah i know that's common practice in the paramotor
who's fucking hit you though it would never would of course that goose would be like oh
fucking look at that dummy on the parachute yeah yeah it's here you're coming i guess when i was
at a lifeguard i used to swim with dolphins and they'd be like you know can you catch the dolphins no what happens out there is whatever the dolphins choose to happen
like that like i have very little influence over whether i touch dolphins or not yeah i'll be like
you mean do i chase dolphins down in the water what the fuck are you talking about yeah and
the creatures that are made to swim well like Like, if a dolphin came up on land,
do you think any of them could beat you in a game of tag?
No.
They're in our world there, and we're in their world there.
We think that, like, wow, I'm pretty good at swimming.
To us, or to them, looking at us swimming
is like us watching them on the beach just...
struggling.
They look at us like,
what the fuck is that stupid monkey doing in my house?
They're trying to help us. They think we're drowning.
I would just swim out into the middle of the pod
and then if they came close, they came close.
If they didn't, they didn't. It was all their choice.
I feel like with geese,
it's the same sort of thing.
If they bump into you or not, they're in complete control
of the situation.
They're going quicker.
They don't...
Geese are mean.
They are mean.
I need a paintball gun.
I've been saying,
so my first thoughts of the flying machine
are things that you can drop from it or shoot
from it. I'm thinking like
get some water balloons up there, get the family out
in the field.
I'm thinking like paintball gun, airsoft gun i really want a gun though i just want a fucking gun i want to get a you put a shell catcher on it so that you're not getting brass
going into the the fan behind you so they're all going to bag right there on the side of the rifle
and oh you can have a lot of fun fn 2000 doesn't eject the first, what, three, seven shells? Something like that.
And then they kind of go out the front.
I still want a shell catcher.
We always stuck them on there
in the choppers. They were like,
if that 308 hole
hits that rear rotor, we're going
down.
Really? Well, maybe.
I don't know.
Dylan, you want to find out? Put the fucking thing on your don't know. Dylan. I don't know. Tape it off.
You want to find out?
Put the fucking thing on your gun.
Exactly.
People know Dylan.
He was the guy that helped me start Woody Craft.
He's his helicopter pilot.
Some guys know him.
Anyway, he always had these video ideas.
He's like, how about I'm in my chopper, and you throw a watermelon at the rotor?
And I'm like, is that safe?
It sounds like, could you do that?
He's like, oh, they're really strong.
He was younger at the time.
He was like 15 or 16.
Like his judgment might have been bad.
I guess out there that maybe if the chopper like sat on the ground and just got them going, you know, and so that they're, you know, they're still going incredibly fast.
Then maybe that's cool.
that's cool but I know one thing for sure is
that those rotors are very
very expensive and that if they
even get a nick in them or a ding
then I don't think they can pass
like maybe it's your personal chopper
you're like yeah my rotors dinged
but if you work with that chopper which is always the
case when we're renting choppers it's you know
someone else is going to rent it next week
they can't have any dings in the rotor for insurance
reasons or maybe because the smallest ding is a vibration thing.
I don't know.
But throwing a melon in there seems pretty crazy.
It does.
The melon thing, like, you saying that you could maybe do it on the ground.
Like, yeah, I'm sure maybe you could do it there.
Like, you're not going to crash and die.
But I was picturing the guy's idea being like B.A. Baracus
leaning out the side of a helicopter and, like, heaving it up as it's in the air,
which is not safe.
You should not be throwing things into the moving turbine.
I wonder what Dylan thought was going to happen.
Was his thought process like we would get watermelon slices falling
and there'd be a guy with a plate, like, catching it?
Yeah, he's treating, like, a a i don't know 10 million dollar helicopter
the way the jackass guys treat a port-a-potty where they're like oh we're gonna shoot it in
the air and just see what happens we're just getting scenarios we're out 400 bucks you know
those jackass guys are asked the cameras that they use um to film the those movies are like
eight thousand dollar ten thousand dollar cameras and And we were talking to the production company
that worked with them or something one time.
We were talking to somebody who was on the film.
And we were like, what do you do with those cameras?
How do you, when you're like, you know,
jumping a golf cart and, you know,
just taking those awful wrecks,
like how do you safeguard the camera?
And they're like, oh, we just buy extras.
And we got plenty.
We got a whole warehouse of $8,000 cameras.
Thank God.
What fucking 60% of our crew are professional skateboarders or something.
How the hell were those people making money aside from just ruining things?
If you watch the early seasons, it really gives off the impression of MTV giving a little bit of money to them,
but it mainly being like Bam Margera being like,
Ah, I own a
shoe company or something. Vans!
And he just bankrolls people.
Isn't that what it was?
Bam bankrolls a lot of guys. You know, they had the
Can't Kill Yourself stuff that predates
Jackass that didn't have all the crew
in it, but when Johnny and Bam
got together and got the MTV money,
obviously that opens up a lot of
avenues, but Bam was before financing guys and is the MTV money. Obviously, that opens up a lot of avenues, but Bam was
before financing guys
and is till this day.
There's a couple of those guys who just live off Bam.
One of the guys got drunk
and took Bam's Lamborghini out
and totaled it.
And so, Bam just let
it go because if he
files a police report and
an insurance report, then his buddy goes
to jail so his buddy just owes
him $175,000
so now when Bam says to do
something he's just gotta fucking
do it Bam has a
slave that he has
I can't remember the guy's name but I think
it might be the guy who shit in the toilet
in that store that time
but that guy owes him like $150,000,
$180,000, has no
way of paying it back. So he just
does what Bam says.
For most people, $180,000 is
the mortgage they pay off over the course of
30 years.
That's normal.
It's a huge amount of money.
Man, what a jackass
to ruin. See, there it was put it all together but
that's a pretty sweet life for bam though like it's my understanding that he's not doing too
hot anymore ever since ryan dunn died he's in a rehab he's in this rehab tv show now getting uh
like uh dealing with his alcoholism yeah i haven't it, but Stern says that it looks like he's actually getting better.
Who knows?
That's good.
Yeah.
Yeah, he didn't handle that well.
Who was I talking to that was from up there that was talking about, oh, one of my drivers in L.A. was from Pennsylvania, from that area.
And he was talking about how fast he was going or something.
And it was really, really fast.
It was on the news.
130, 150, something like that.
Something absurd in a sports car.
It's bad enough you're going to be a fucking DUI jackass,
but get in an old pickup truck and saunter down the road at 30 miles an hour or something.
Something that doesn't go 130 miles an hour.
Did you see the picture of the car after it hit that tree?
It didn't even look...
You couldn't discern what make and model
of car that was if you had to.
It was mangled.
Wrapped around the tree.
Yeah, he...
Like I said, first of all, get a fucking
driver. You're rich as shit.
You got tons of friends and presumably everyone
in this whole town thinks you're a hero because you're from
here. But if you're gonna drive,
get in that old piece of shit truck and saunter
along at 30. Don't turn yourself into
a not so well guided missile.
He got what he
deserved. Dumbass.
Yeah, that is
beyond the pale. Dumb.
Yeah, if it wasn't a tree, it might have been you.
Yeah, I don't know i don't
get hit by that so he was a drunk driver and he yeah that sucks i hate that going 130 miles an
hour on a windy pennsylvania road in not it wasn't even his car was it i think it was his car but i
don't remember those like nitty-gritty details. I could be wrong, but I remember reading 130 miles an hour,
110, 130, something fast,
and then imagining it being on a highway.
No.
No, it was on a windy two-lane Pennsylvania road.
He was drunk, right?
Yes.
To me, the story ends there.
I don't know.
He's drunk.
Fuck him.
Well, I mean, he wasn't the only one in the car. I'm taking a bold stance. Dr's drunk. Fuck him.
Well, I mean, he wasn't the only one in the car. I'm taking a bold stance.
Drinking and driving is bad.
Wow.
I can't wait for the pushback
on this one, but I'm going to stick with it.
This is the next
Robin Williams.
Someone else was in the car, though, right?
So one of my high school died that way.
I don't think the driver... I forget what the scoop of the driver was. He may or may not have been right? So one of my high school died that way. The, uh, uh,
I don't think the driver,
I forget what the scoop with the driver was.
He may or may not have been impaired in some way,
but,
uh,
everyone in the car was really hurt and one of them died.
And it was,
yeah.
And I shouldn't talk about it in this way,
but it's totally true.
So the people in the car were like
the it crowd you know very popular guys and girls and some people in the high school totally not me
i swear honest but they were almost like connecting themselves to them by grieving so much like oh my
god i'm so upset christopher's gone. Oh, shut up. You didn't hang
out with Christopher. You're ugly. And he didn't like you. And, you know, he was the freaking
captain of the football team. And you're acting like, you know, you can't. You didn't give a shit
about you. You can't. Look how little you are and how great he was. Fuck you, you piece of shit.
I would have kicked your ass like he would if he were here right now. Now this girl's like
rewriting history.
Like, yeah, yeah, that guy and me, we were so tight.
Without him being alive to be like, we weren't tight.
You know?
Like, it was a way to, like, ooh, I can finally get in the in crowd.
That's a scary thought.
Who's going to show up at your funeral and pretend to be your friend?
And all your other friends there aren't going to be able to be like, hey, you weren't taylor's friend no one's going to call him out like that at my funeral someone looks like a real
asshole if some dude just comes in he's like yeah you know i'm his old scientology buddy he never
told you guys about that no yeah that's horrible that was pretty much and there was more than one
person doing that just like you know oh my god, I'm so emotional upset about this.
It's like, no, this is just a sideways way into the in crowd.
How many Prince fans were there last month?
A lot.
I wasn't one of them.
I mean, I like Purple Rain, I guess.
But I didn't know that guy's real fucking name or where he lived or what his whole history was.
And I still don't care.
I feel like...
Just be honest. You're not into something.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm not against Prince or anything,
but the thing I enjoyed most about him is the story that Charlie Murphy told.
Charlie Murphy!
That shit was true.
I've heard other things about him being really good at a lot of sports,
although it just seems like bullshit because he's a little bitty guy.
A little bitty guy.
Yeah, he was really small.
The other is another.
Oh, Muhammad Ali died.
And while I'm really into combat sports, like, I don't know.
Like, I get that Muhammad Ali was a great heavyweight fighter.
But the rest of his impact on society is kind of lost to me.
Like, I didn't really know how to feel about it.
There's some good.
There's some bad, there's whatever.
And this might be...
Oh, God, here, I'm going to do it to myself.
He wasn't Muhammad Ali
those last couple years. He was kind of
suffering, trapped in the wrong body,
not with it. That's probably for the best.
I didn't care
much for the man.
It's just really nice to watch that guy
fight because he's incredibly fast and
talented and he the way he early in his career he's as fast as grease lightning late in his
career he has to become the the the smart rope the doping defensive master and it no one's you
don't see people do both of those things it's incredible that he was that he was great at both
and champs at both but the guy was you know rumbled in the jungle look at what he was great at both and champs at both. But the guy was rumbled in the jungle.
Look at what he was doing.
Was it Foreman that he was fighting?
It wasn't.
Frazier.
Calling Frazier a monkey.
Call him a gorilla.
Look at your dark skin.
Saying the same things that the slave masters used to say to the dark-skinned blacks
to add a hierarchy there between the light-skinnedned blacks and the dark skinned blacks. He's going
right in with that. Calling him a monkey
calling him the n-word.
Just as racist as anyone. I guess you
could say maybe he's psyching him out getting at his head
and it definitely fucking worked.
When he goes in there they're fucking chanting
they're chanting not Ali Ali
it's something. I can't think of the African
what is it
Mutamba Muhammad Ali
or some shit like that you know they're chanting for Ali
and Africa and then
Frazier just complete opposite
that was a great fight too
apparently up until
Ali's very late years and maybe
even still probably not still because Ali's dead
but like he hated
Muhammad Ali
because Muhammad Ali made it his job to fucking hate on
Joe Frazier apparently and I learned all this when he died because I did like a quick google
and I'm like I didn't know about this I'd heard about Joe Frazier beating Muhammad Ali but I don't
know anything about it like I didn't know they fought three times I didn't know much of that
shit at all but looking into it it's always eye-opening to be like oh you never this is that stuff that got that's not going to get lost anymore with the with the internet
like this is the stuff that like we're in the last bit of time where people are dying and because
they didn't come up with the internet that you can like put aside all the shitty things they did
you know be like oh well you know so what if one of the beatles was really anti-semitic or
something like he didn't tweet about it like like there's no real evidence or you know who cares
walt disney hated jews that's a that's a thing that's true yeah that's definitely true that is
very true he was very anti-semitic and i mean go back and watch that dumbo uh cartoon what do you
think those crows up there talking all that jive and wearing bandanas are supposed to represent?
The white man.
The black man, obviously.
Oh, my bad.
I thought for sure they were going to be Korean.
Some of those old Disney movies come off pretty racist.
They are very racist.
Yeah, the Tom and Jerry stuff, too.
Yep, yep, yep. The Looney Tunes were racist too.
Porky the Pig said some pretty rough stuff.
What did Porky the Pig say?
During WW2, he said some rough stuff.
It was really funny to see the World War II.
The World War II Looney Tunes
are funny because not only are they
completely not politically correct, but there's a little
propaganda mixed in there.
Maybe Daffy Duck or maybe like Bugs Bunny goes over and
roughs up Hitler or something like that you got a lots of lots of funny shit
there's Japanese people but they have like very large but huge glasses yeah
they're there's a particular way these people just like you're saying those big
glasses and like teeth so big they couldn't
close their mouths like rats
looking back at that it's like oh my god like
if you were to show me a picture of that today
I'd be like that's so out
there I don't even
know if like it almost comes
around to not being racist again because nobody
can even think that way anymore
we see that kind of propaganda every day and we think
oh those people are terrible I wouldn't go there we see kind of propaganda every day and we think, oh, those people are terrible.
I wouldn't go there. We see propaganda like that
every day and we just gloss over it.
Like what?
I'm just trying to think of examples.
Well, I'm
pretty racist to begin with, so I don't want to admit
to anybody
any slack or anything, but
I don't know.
There's a couple, aunt jemima maple syrup
right she oh that's a different way that that's sort of uh that one's made its way into your heart
into your family life and now it's not even that racist yeah give me some of that uncle ben's rice
yeah it's good and aunt jem yeah the aunt jemima syrup the uncle ben stuff that those are all
you know i knew uncle ben's was one too but i don't even get that one. Why is Uncle Ben's racist?
Because of Uncle Tom's cabin.
Back in the day, they used to call
and the reason
they called Uncle Tom, Uncle Tom
and uncle is like code for
an old black man.
He's an uncle.
If you watch that Confederate
States of America thing, they're like
is your nanny or your uncle got the arthritis well with a little negro lube you know it's
all those all those fake products that they had for uh so i think uncle is definitely a um
just a term for an old black person i don't know because i yeah i see uncle ben's and i think
uncle as in like i don't know
i have uncles and i'm not racist yeah my dad's brother right my mom's brother um and then ben
is just like a man's name and i'm like uncle ben's rice i don't even get it like i've been told it's
racist is it like i've never looked it up are black people like known to take subways i'm sorry taylor totally wrong but i
always thought the reason that uncle tom was i always thought uncle tom was meant to say like
you say uncle to say like oh you're taking the white man's side like you're part of their family
you're not really their family you're on the outs like that goes back to the book though
that goes you're absolutely right about that but that goes back to the book, though. You're absolutely right about that, but that goes back to
the book. That's when you call someone an Uncle Tom.
Now,
that's from Uncle Tom's Cabin, the book.
But you've got to go back even further
to the slave masters
kind of referring to
a certain group of blacks as uncles.
It doesn't make
any sense to us because that was
1850s when this was slang for
an old black slave but yeah
it's a racist thing
I guess
I haven't told you this I just don't put it together
that's why I like it
there's no way to take it badly
yes
there are three modern products
and I can only think of the two, and I don't get one.
Aunt Jemima's.
Is there another maple syrup maybe?
There's a whole restaurant called Cracker Barrel.
There's Mrs. Butterworth, but she's white, so.
Oh, so it can't be racist.
It can't be racist.
Yes, exactly.
Let's end right there.
All right.
Well, wish me luck.
I hope I don't die tomorrow morning.
Bye all.
Good luck, man.
Good luck.
