@Robert Arnold That DOOM album is a reference to the Godzilla monster and uses a bunch of samples from the old movies. And btw, spell the name with all caps
Plot twist, they DID talk about it but that part was cut out or it was before the recording started lol. That would explain why he thinks they talked about it but we never heard it. ( or could just be forgetful P flax) lol
@lifedragon99 so great the only thing people talk about is the actor behind some nothing character that dies in the first ten minutes. Maybe it could have been good if the US military didn't neuter it into the nothing burger we got.
The axe is made out of godzillas families dorsal fins hence why it could absorb the energy. There's also multiple axes making up the dorsal fins on the drawing around the throne.
@@ihackedurgf well no, King Kongs ancestors and godzillas ancestors have been at war for a ages, then we know king gidorah invaded and killed off all the kongs and godzillas, King kongs parents ran away to skull island and just kinda did their thing there, and we don't rly know how long Godzilla has been around but we can speculate its been before humans

Sips should totally grow some weed. My dad grew some one year in our backyard back in the 2000’s, and now he’s excited to get the basement fixed up so he can grow some indoors.
I was that person who had to remind my roommates to pay bills and had the bills in my name. The way the utilities worked in my state it was connected to my SSN and affected my ability to get utilities in the future if it went deliquent. So basically I had to front it if they were late and they paid the land lord their rent directly. The amount of stress it gave me every time they were late or under payed. I'm so glad to be done with it
Honestly, Pyrion's retelling of the film is MUCH better than the actual movie. The thing he omitted though is that the axe is made from one of Godzilla's scales which is why it can be charge with Godzilla's mouth blast thingy.
While I think Pyrion and Lewis were misunderstanding each other, I'll say that, yeah, many stores don't want their margins to get too high. They know they make the most profit at a certain margin, because if prices are too high, people will buy less. I used to work at a store where we looked at our margin every hour. If it was too low, we'd promote something with a higher margin, like accessories. If it was too high, we'd run a timed sale or give out coupons. This led to more sales, on average. The worst-case scenario was ending the day with low sales and a high margin, because it looked like we weren't even trying.
Magic bags are great. Got a whole roast chicken from a Shell Waitrose in my last one. Bag cost a fiver and the total worth of the bag was about £15 albeit that is a Waitrose £15
Companies who have become global mega-corps can pull strings both for and against countries. It's more dangerous to get in the bad graces of companies like Apple, Amazon or Tesla than most mid-sized countries.
I think the reason islands choose to be tax havens is because they largely don't have their own industry or sellable natural or refined resource. Tax havens still charge tax, it's just much lighter than other countries, but that small amount of money goes a lot further in a small island which can directly see the effects of that money filtered through the country's industry and services. We see time and time again what happens when island nations do attempt to exploit a resource and for a while do well, pour all their money and culture into that resource, only to then be undercut by another area who can produce more and cheaper, then when that resource fails, all that investment and reliance goes down the drain and we see those islands become incredibly unstable. The thing with channel islands and The Isle of Man, is that they are surrounded by powerful neighbours and corporations and can build an effective service industry that is fairly guaranteed not to fail but the only way to ensure that corporations choose to settle there, pay tax and employ the locals is to make themselves profitable in a way that larger nations simply cannot afford to do. Even if a larger nation did promise low taxes and tried to be a tax haven, the size of the nation and the complexity of the political situation means that at any moment that could change and the company could find itself paying out for a costly relocation. This doesn't, of course, mean that it's a good or right practice, but it is understandable for islands who can't compete in resources, have physical environmental limitations and don't want people leaving the island in an exodus because there aren't enough opportunities - that is a death spiral for an island economy.
** in Sips' nerd voice** Uhm actually Pyrion, not only is the earth's gravitational pull not strongest at the center of the earth, it is the weakest; it's literally zero. And if somebody jumped into a hole that ran all the way through the center of earth and out to the opposite side, they would fall all the way through to the other side and continue to oscillate back and forth in simple harmonic motion, neglecting air resistance of course.
Regarding the business model of slashing your prices, it's probably about market segmentation. Higher markups sound better on paper, but won't do you any good if the cheapskates won't pay at all. If you are able to reach the people who wouldn't have bought your stuff before, even at a lower markup, you're still ahead. You just make sure it's marketed differently and maybe a bit harder to do, so not everyone buys at the lower price now.
Amen. Godzilla’s thing is that he’s the KING OF MONSTERS, if they had him best King Ghidorah but not Kong.... I’d be baffled. Godzilla is the apex titan forever. Nuclear dinosaur > big monke
We have had the TooGoodToGo thing for a while in Denmark I think it is a part of the stop food-waste initiative. I never got anything good in the goody bags from restaurants but I got a friend who is a big fan. :)
Pyrion on Godzilla is like hearing someone watch Endgame without watching the prior movies and complains why the shit in Endgame happens and nothing makes sense
Tax havens do charge tax it's just a very tiny percent which is pretty much nothing compared to non tax havens but the countries do still charge tax and even just 0.1% tax is still a massive new amount of profit for these tax havens considering how big these companies are, so for them it's basically free profit which is worth going out of their way to appease these companies for

Ironically there is a lot of Anime Pflax would actually like and I mean it's not like there isn't dumb shit in there too but he literally just talked about how a space ship was used to restart King Kongs heart, how is that not as (if not more) dumb.

Pyrions confidence in his lack of business knowledge n difference in target audiences just gets on my nerves.

Stopped listening for months cos of this, see it's not changed, will unsub, which is a shame cos I love sips
Anime by my definition is stupid, blind fun that doesn't make you think that much. In that sense, Godzilla, King Kong, and anything Kaijju really is anime-esque to me, right along with kung fu movies. Live adaptations of anime are still anime, so it's not the medium that defines it. Nor is it the source material, since lots of anime are adapted from manga.
Nah not a spoiler Pflax. Every Godzilla film is similar...Godzilla fights against or fights with Godzilla. Mothra seemed go have a thing for Godzilla in the last film...Mothra Gozilla babies are required in the next movie. Step brother to Godzuki
Physics correction: Gravity is not "at it's strongest" near the centre of the earth. It decreases as you go down below the surface and there's none at the centre.

I liked pyrions description of kong vs godzilla, but it was annoying that he didn't get any of the references because he hadn't watched godzilla king of monsters and kong skull island.
Pflax: "Big fan of Godzilla"
Sips: What about King Ghidora? Isn't that a Godzilla thing?
Pflax: No idea
Me: Alright, flax
My thoughts exactly
Lewis seems to know way more about it lmao
And king ghidora was also used in this movie!!

I love how Pflax keeps saying "we have talked about this before on a previous episode" when they haven't lol
After 172 episodes you just don't know anymore.

I think they talked about it on a gta episode way back when but I'm not sure if pyrion was in it
Pyrions Godzilla impression was excellent
I'm going to find out if that was sarcasm or genuine.
Edit: Nope you were right, it was really good.
I wish I saw the movie before this, because the way Pyrion sums up the film is fried gold.
Honestly Pyrion made Kong vs Godzilla sound like a great movie
It is actually really good if you don't take it too seriously

Not counting educational shorts there has only been a trilogy of films and a twelve episode tv series for Godzilla anime. Both are fairly recent.
