7:04
Yeah.
ChrisGUEST
7:04
But how many times in 1,000...
ChrisGUEST
7:07
I'll take Vicious.
ChrisGUEST
7:08
How many times have I utilized 1,000 horsepower? You don't.
ChrisGUEST
7:11
I don't even do it on the dyno.
ChrisGUEST
7:13
Well, maybe that's a good thing.
ChrisGUEST
7:13
But- Maybe you have 1,000 horsepower, and that kind of, like, refrains you from, like, going balls to the walls all the time.
8:58
Race cars go out, beat the piss out of it for the weekend, and tear the whole car apart, and get it ready for the next race.
45:51
Yeah
ChrisGUEST
45:51
... that type of thing.
ChrisGUEST
45:52
Absolutely not, because I don't think, I don't think that is any kind of an art.
ChrisGUEST
45:59
It's...
ChrisGUEST
46:00
I equate it to something like a Serbian Film or Human Centipede 2 (Full) Sequence of Deaths, any of the milondo kind of shit, and I'm not down with that.
ChrisGUEST
46:11
I think that stuff comes too close to maybe like easing people into assault, and I think that's dangerous territory.
ChrisGUEST
46:27
I don't think that Russ McKamey specifically is trying to do something under a controlled environment.

27 MINS LATER

73:24
But to each their own.
38:34
Just tell me about that.
ChrisGUEST
38:36
He did.
ChrisGUEST
38:36
So he was 10 by then, and it'd been suggested to us since he was about four by different therapists.
ChrisGUEST
38:41
And we, I have to say, we held off.
ChrisGUEST
38:43
We weren't keen to that to be our first go-to.
ChrisGUEST
38:46
In hindsight, I kinda wish we'd done it earlier.
ChrisGUEST
38:48
By 10, he was doing half days of school.
40:32
Do children swap to Concerta and other things?
39:48
That's great
ChrisGUEST
39:48
... he's, you know, he's, he's meeting some dignitary at some point every week, and-
40:42
Well, that's, uh, that would really be lost.
ChrisGUEST
40:42
I have been to the, I've been to...
ChrisGUEST
40:44
I don't know if I've been to your farm, but I've been to the ice cream place in Julian.
2:11
And Chris is a photographer and explorer who grew up near volcanoes in Ecuador.
ChrisGUEST
2:17
People living near volcanoes often develop a completely different relationship with dangers.
ChrisGUEST
2:23
When eruptions happen constantly, fear change their shape.
ChrisGUEST
2:27
It's like the people have been develops a love relationship with these volcanoes.
ChrisGUEST
2:34
Yeah, it's, it's, it's a really beautiful connection what the outside world, what is in the Western cu- culture of people who are living safe in apartment, they can't understand.
ChrisGUEST
2:44
But when they go close to nature, they start feeling it.

6 MINS LATER

9:03
Mm
ChrisGUEST
9:03
... people are saying, for example, when you are climbing the mountains, your brain are saying, "Come on, let's go.
14:44
Can you just give us an insight into some of your experiences there?
ChrisGUEST
14:48
Sure.
ChrisGUEST
14:49
So basic training was three months.
ChrisGUEST
14:52
My parents drove me to the station of Stuttgart.
ChrisGUEST
14:54
I had received a card that entitled me to go on a train, and there were special trains at that time organized by the Bundeswehr to bring recruits to their various, uh, stations of service.
ChrisGUEST
15:07
In my case, I boarded a train that took us to Nuremberg.
ChrisGUEST
15:11
All young guys, [laughs] not knowing what they were gonna expect.

36 MINS LATER

51:27
Can you just take me through how those worked and the role of the comms teams and what you got up to?
speaker_6UNKNOWN
158:54
No.
ChrisGUEST
158:54
And I'm partially like, I think this man could ruin my life in, like, a fun way.
ChrisGUEST
158:58
[laughs] I think I would, like, enjoy being drawn into the, the UFO paranoia that he's so good at, uh, uh, instilling in people.
ChrisGUEST
159:07
But the craziest thing about the documentary is that when you watch all the way to the end, at one point they ask Doty, like, "So, okay, why are you telling us? Like, why are you coming clean about all this on, in this documentary? You know, like, it seems like you sh- you're not allowed to talk about these things or they're top secret or whatever." And he was like, "Well, it's because after all this went down with Paul Bennewitz, I was burned.
ChrisGUEST
159:31
I was drummed out of the intelligence community, and what I want the world to know is that aliens are real.
ChrisGUEST
159:38
I was hired by the government to convince people to do this whole thing so that it would come out eventually that, oh, we're just covering up, uh, top secret aircraft.
ChrisGUEST
159:48
But that's the cover-up of the cover-up.

29 MINS LATER

speaker_23UNKNOWN
188:48
... at 40 years old." [laughs]
38:28
First, here's Chris from Simply Classic, who creates designer-inspired bag patterns that are compatible with domestic sewing machines.
ChrisGUEST
38:38
So I feel like bag making is definitely an up-and-coming thing in the sewing industry.
ChrisGUEST
38:43
We are a company that really likes to showcase designer-inspired bags with our faux leathers.
ChrisGUEST
38:51
So we really feel like this bag making that we're doing now here is a step up and something that you can really, when, when you have a bag made by, uh, with one of our patterns, you can, somebody's gonna walk up to you and say, "Wow, you made that? I can't believe you made that." And so they're very sophisticated, luxe patterns.
39:10
Why is this show important?
ChrisGUEST
39:13
I think awareness is a huge thing.
ChrisGUEST
39:15
I think that, um, people need a place to go and touch, be able to touch and feel the product, and what better place at a fiber and craft festival?
5:12
Oh, wow.
ChrisGUEST
5:12
We are, as a, as a trade, as a way to, uh, make some, some moolah, we are both entertainment lighting technicians.
ChrisGUEST
5:22
And what that means is we do just about anything that is, uh, Broadway to television to events to corporates to anybody that needs people to do entertainment lighting.
ChrisGUEST
5:33
And it's usually we work in the special events world where things kind of go in and kind of come out real fast.
ChrisGUEST
5:39
We met in New York, 2005.
ChrisGUEST
5:42
After about two years of being there together, uh, we had a friend of ours call from California and offer us a job at Disneyland.
ChrisGUEST
5:51
And so we hopped on an airplane and flew across the country and started working at Disneyland in 2007.

22 MINS LATER

27:30
Yeah
15:57
You gotta be forgiven in order to go to heaven."
ChrisGUEST
15:59
Yeah, I, I even remember when I was a...
ChrisGUEST
16:00
I was raised a Christian when I was younger, and, uh, I remember sitting in a Sunday school, and, uh, we, we brought that issue up, you know, that, you know, what about the other, uh, religions, you know, if they, you know, have slightly different beliefs, or they don't think that they have, you know, get to heaven through Jesus Christ directly, you know, what happens to them, you know? She kind of just stated directly that, "Well, yeah, they, they're gonna go to hell." That kind of, like, angered me.

5 MINS LATER

21:26
That's the good news of the gospel, and that's why it's ex- exclusive.
ChrisGUEST
21:29
Mm-hmm.
ChrisGUEST
21:30
I, I was always wondering, so what makes, uh, Christianity more correct than, you know, any other religion? And as far as, uh, Islam, you know, why can't they praise Allah and still be just as fine? Maybe their beliefs, you know, in heaven and hell are different, so, you know.
101:57
2.0 for Laundry Day.
ChrisGUEST
102:01
Yeah.
ChrisGUEST
102:05
I think the main problem with this is just the writing, and it's more from a structural standpoint.
ChrisGUEST
102:12
It's the whole finale of him pursuing Duke is kind of like, well, I mean, the stakes have already been, there's none left because you made this girl kill herself for some reason.
ChrisGUEST
102:28
I do feel like you could rearrange a lot of it and make it be better, but I don't know.
ChrisGUEST
102:36
It still has that unhinged J. Lee Thompson quality that I do appreciate.
ChrisGUEST
102:43
And I think having seen so many Charles Bronson films, it's like, yeah, this one is grittier, makes you feel grosser than some of the other ones.

13 MINS LATER

BonesHOST
115:43
That's just the bummer of it, so.
BritGUEST
14:47
Me and you are just sitting there with our thumbs up our ass.
ChrisGUEST
14:48
It's, no, it's not about giving him praise.
ChrisGUEST
14:51
It's about, I take a step, "Oh, great step, Frey.
ChrisGUEST
14:54
You're so powerful." I roll this.
ChrisGUEST
14:56
"Oh, Frey, you're so powerful now.
ChrisGUEST
14:58
You're...
ChrisGUEST
14:58
I'll follow you anywhere."
JakeHOST
17:25
Okay.
9:31
Yeah.
ChrisGUEST
9:31
But for me, the symbiosis of it is based on that, that I'm, I feel older.
ChrisGUEST
9:39
We're on the same program.
9:40
Yeah.
ChrisGUEST
9:41
We know how to use the s- same techniques, which I just did then, and I think that's how it works.
ChrisGUEST
9:49
For me, that's the only way I can do it.
111:35
That's fair.
ChrisGUEST
111:35
And then that night she slept on the couch in the room.
ChrisGUEST
111:39
Nothing wrong with that, but it was funny 'cause when I woke up, I was like, "Damn, I just got couched." I was the one doing the couching on my last show [laughs] and I just, I just woke up and was like, "This is a..." I was like, "This is not good," and like, kinda was honest about it with her and just was like, "Hey, this is, mm," you know? But we're together, and I still see us together, and I'm not expecting to wake up tomorrow and switch.
ChrisGUEST
111:58
And I told her that as well, uh, that I'm, that I'm still in this, you know? Although it might not be moving the direction we want, like, I'm still gonna give it all that we got.
ChrisGUEST
112:05
We knew bombshells were coming in.
ChrisGUEST
112:06
We didn't know who they, we didn't know who they would pick.
ChrisGUEST
112:07
So the singles come in, and obviously we have three of them, and very quickly Kayla was asking about me, and she asked Mackenzie, you know, just the girls, but she was like, "Hey, who's this guy with?" And Mackenzie said, "It's, you know, he's with me." I think immediately that made things uncomfortable.

6 MINS LATER

Mary
MaryPANELIST
118:39
[laughs]
46:13
I- what do you think is the biggest actual threat to Bitcoin at this time?
ChrisGUEST
46:19
Yeah.
ChrisGUEST
46:19
So let's go through this, uh, like one by one.
ChrisGUEST
46:22
You, you mentioned, um, like, uh, large, uh, single institutional holders.
ChrisGUEST
46:28
Um, I don't think, uh, there is a threat there.
ChrisGUEST
46:30
Like, um, if Michael Saylor is, uh, not taking his coins into self-custody, first off, they're not just his coins, they're like hundreds of thousands of investors' coins.
ChrisGUEST
46:40
Like, it's not just MicroStrategy, but like there's people or investment funds, uh, behind this.

8 MINS LATER

55:13
Yeah.
DKGUEST
23:59
[laughs]
ChrisHOST
23:59
[laughs] Um, yeah.
ChrisHOST
24:01
So we meet up with Sean Barker in his apartment/motel room, and as he awakens from a nightmare, he flips on the TV, and the film on the screen so enrages him that he transforms into the Guyver, only to wake up yet again.
ChrisHOST
24:14
Classic double dream.... showing the exact same footage, I think.
ChrisHOST
24:18
Yeah.
ChrisGUEST
24:18
Right.
ChrisHOST
24:19
There's a couple instances of we're just gonna repeat that shot.

51 MINS LATER

DKGUEST
75:47
[laughs]
22:32
That's what they were telling us.
ChrisGUEST
22:34
The stars in the skies are representing humans, so if you see any of the stars moving, it means you are going to lose-
23:24
Wow.
ChrisGUEST
23:31
Now people are not concerned about the stars.
ChrisGUEST
23:33
Those stories are going a- away from us.
ChrisGUEST
23:38
It was even good for our eyesight.
GregHOST
88:40
Um-
ChrisGUEST
88:40
Yeah, that's the, that's the bit appeal.
ChrisGUEST
88:42
The absolute price as, as Ian says, price for piece, it, it is decent value, but yeah, that's a big, um, that's a big spend.
ChrisGUEST
88:48
Uh, and to be fair, if we hadn't sold some of our sets, like when I actually w- you know, we, we critically do look, we do s- um, and have moved on a lot of display sets or things that we've decided not to build.
ChrisGUEST
88:59
So it's almost at a point where it's, you know, one out, one in.
ChrisGUEST
89:03
So even with something like this, it's, um, a case of we can buy it because we actually have sold other sets, um, that we've moved on.
ChrisGUEST
89:11
So that's makes the, makes the money side of it a bit easier.

26 MINS LATER

GregHOST
115:18
... what's your thoughts on this?
ColetteGUEST
18:17
when you think about a match like this
ChrisGUEST
18:18
thisUh, to paraphrase my friend Pat even is wrestling has rules, like these are the rules that we've established, and if you follow the rules and you do them well- Mm ... you will often have a great match.
ChrisGUEST
18:33
And often wrestlers who break these rules is how we get annoying no-selling where things don't feel like they matter.
ChrisGUEST
18:42
But when wrestling can break the rules and still be compelling, that is the best type of wrestling, and it's incredibly hard to do.
ChrisGUEST
18:50
You almost can't do it intentionally or it doesn't work, but I think that's what this match is.
ChrisGUEST
18:56
It breaks every- Yeah ... every rule, but it's just so compelling it doesn't matter.
ChrisGUEST
19:01
Mm-hmm.

29 MINS LATER

47:48
... throwing shit into the ring is what causes, like, the kind of la- like, them just continuing to fight? Is it that, that thing that we need to send them home happy?
24:39
But there were-
ChrisGUEST
24:40
were-Quite a few art dealers, antique dealers, and who are current today, and Joanie had done all her homework to work out that these people who were running these places in these locations which were in the middle of nowhere, some of them, were still the same people who owned and operate them today.
ChrisGUEST
25:09
Hello.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
29:39
Uh-huh.
ChrisGUEST
29:39
Yeah.
ChrisGUEST
29:39
And it's the only little house...
ChrisGUEST
29:44
All right, so I'm going down, just walking down the main street of Woodenbong, um, looking for the house of [censored].
ChrisGUEST
29:54
Um, so interestingly enough, his house is pretty much adjacent to where Rick Bloom's house was opposite the pool.
JohnHOST
53:39
I thought it was match of the night, so.
ChrisGUEST
53:42
Yeah, I really liked this a lot too.
ChrisGUEST
53:44
Um, I, the, you mentioned the part where she went for a kick and Senka kind of blocked the kick with an axe bomber.
ChrisGUEST
53:53
That, I, that really popped to me.
ChrisGUEST
53:56
That was very cool.
ChrisGUEST
53:57
I really enjoyed Miyu, uh, Miyu selling the, um, All Japan Women shoot style pin, like the way that she was like so desperately trying to get out of it, and eventually got out of it by getting to the ropes, not by actually, you know, kicking out of it or anything like that.
ChrisGUEST
54:11
Um, it was really cool.

50 MINS LATER

JohnHOST
104:25
Which I did see some people had it at that level.
53:06
I thought it was match of the night, so.
ChrisGUEST
53:09
Yeah, I really liked this a lot too.
ChrisGUEST
53:11
Um, I, the, you mentioned the part where she went for a kick and Senka kind of blocked the kick with an axe bomber.
ChrisGUEST
53:20
That, um, that really popped to me.
ChrisGUEST
53:22
That was very cool.
ChrisGUEST
53:23
I really enjoyed Miyu, uh, Miyu selling the, um, All Japan Women shoot style pin, like the way that she was, like, so desperately trying to get out of it, and eventually got out of it by getting to the ropes, not by actually, you know, kicking out of it or anything like that.
ChrisGUEST
53:38
Um, it was really cool.

50 MINS LATER

103:51
Which I did see some people had it at that level.
SteveHOST
83:54
Is that correct?
ChrisGUEST
83:55
Yes.
ChrisGUEST
83:56
You can find, uh, if y- you can find me personally, if you wanna talk to me, I'm on, uh, Instagram and Threads @csmith0018, and you can find me on Facebook at Chris Smith.
ChrisGUEST
84:07
But if you wanna talk to the main man Brett at, uh, uh, it's, uh, Home Video Hustle.
ChrisGUEST
84:12
Uh, you can find us on Pa- uh, Patreon, uh, a home v- um, Home Video Hustle Podcast.
ChrisGUEST
84:18
You can find us on, uh, Inst- uh, Instagram, uh, uh, uh, all over the place.
SteveHOST
84:24
Blue Sky
ChrisGUEST
84:24
Uh, just, Blue Sky, uh, all over the place.
JasonGUEST
51:16
Mm-hmm.
ChrisGUEST
51:17
And I had a two-inch r-...
ChrisGUEST
51:18
Uh, it accepted a t- it had the, the ball, whatever you wanna call it, the hitch on the front, on the tongue of the trailer was, was a two-inch ball.
ChrisGUEST
51:27
So you gotta take all these things into consideration, how big the, the ball on your truck and trailer are, how big, how... what the weight ratings of your axles are, what the weight, weight ratings of your tires are, um, the springs, and so forth and so on.
ChrisGUEST
51:42
I mean, but the bottom line is I, I always see...
ChrisGUEST
51:46
I don't always see it, but I mean, I see it pretty regularly, people that just aren't set up well for towing a trailer.
ChrisGUEST
51:52
They don't have the right size ball or...

38 MINS LATER

JasonGUEST
89:30
That's correct.
DaveHOST
27:54
[laughs]
ChrisGUEST
27:55
[upbeat music] I'm just gonna start it.
ChrisGUEST
27:57
No intro.
ChrisGUEST
27:58
I wanna take a walk around the world.
ChrisGUEST
28:02
I wonder, would it do me any good? Until I get some money in my pocket, then I guess I'll just have to walk around my neighborhood.
ChrisGUEST
28:14
But I wanna be good so bad.
ChrisGUEST
28:19
I wanna be so good, so bad, so bad.

15 MINS LATER

DaveHOST
43:24
From smoking?
