Man this is an old ass episode but hopefully someone sees my comment anyway haha. I was in Jail in Florida for 6 months and was a small white boy in a pod of killers and psychos and the only thing that kept the peace the entire 6 months in that jail pod WAS BATTLE BOTS!!! HAHAHA The boys would bet on robots all day and we got to watch live some nights and dudes would be going crazy placing bets on robots fighting on the tv hahaha my god shane and matt talking about battle bots really made me laugh thinking of watching it in jail.
You know what? I was a middle-schooler in the 90's, and I'm all for it. It was a beautiful time. In the parallel universe where the world stayed that way, Shane is a fucking A-list celebrity.
Matt McCusker makes the point of the decade when he says (paraphrasing), "If companies are so adamant about social justice, just fork some of the cash from your billion dollar company; then you would actually be doing some good towards the cause".
They’re only pretending to be for social justice because it’s popular right now. That’s INCREDIBLY silly when they use sweat shop labor, and pollute as much as they can get away with. It shows you that your actions don’t matter, only where you align yourself. Display your values, no need to live them.
indeed, its in the companies interest to over-emphasize the social justice/political corrctness, because it takes the heat off of them and makes everyday people feel guilty. and makes companies look good without actually having to exchange wealth like matt said
The companies are the ones who created the idea of social justice in the first place, after occupy wall street, the corporations highjacked the movement to control the narrative.
My grandfather is a war hero! He served in the Marine Corps....In Korea he was one if the few survivors from his unit in the battle of Chosin Reservoir....And served 3 tours in Vietnam....Purple Heart recipient....He was a Gunnery Sergeant...He passed away on this day (New Years Eve) in 1998....
Yeah I had a cat dog too growing up. Dude would meow and run up too anyone that came in the house and expect pets or he would bat at them. My parents lucked out and got another one after he passed. Dude is just always trying to kick it with me when ever I come over. Other cats they got take an hour or so before they warm up.
Naw bro, Shane is so zingable lol huge ego with humility aka a soul is a beautiful thing around the dawgs. Get a little, give a little. Just bros being bros. Chicks cheerlead from the sideline. Dawgs get in the game
If you want a really nice small pistol you should look into the Tac pack they sell for the Sig Sauer P365 it's 12 rounds of 9mm in a macro compact pistol. I also have the P320 they based it off of originally in subcompact but now in full size but never carry because I prefer the p365 because it's really easy to hide and doesn't dig in at all. Just my humble civilian opinion
I just screenshotted the comment to look it up myself, I’m going to be getting a EDC and it’s a really well placed ad from the dawgz thanks you patriots shit is shrek 1
My hobby has been RC cars for years and years now. So I decided to look at the Battle Bots one day and see what goes into making them. They’re way beyond what I thought they were. I’m like a shitty mechanic of RC and they’re like...engineering Gods.
The battle bots is hilarious nonsense. The wedge and Hammer dog. For you PA boys, get them LTCF ' S aka carry permits they' are $20 and good for 5 year's. PA is a shall issue state unless you have a record. Outside of Philly the whole process takes about 30 mins, Philly takes us 45 day's and loads more bullshit. You can carry everything but rifles and shotguns in PA with a LTCF, even an UZI! UZI would cost you like 10k but fun to shoot, they eat up ammo. If you're buying a gun, awesome. I encourage everyone responsible to do so. Only issue right now is ammo is like gold but harder to buy. I was paying $8/50 rounds of 9mm for the range and $25/50 for hollow points outside Philly. Same boxes are $45 and $100 on Gun broker, locally you're lucky if you can find a single pack of 9mm, .223, 12 ga buck or most other calibers. Most are reloads and cost more than new from January last year. I see even auction sites selling out of common ammo. For knife laws the 4 fingers thing is a PA myth, PA you just can't carry an automatic knife aka switchblade, but every county is different for your knife. American Knife and Tool Institute and KnifeRights are both great resources for state to state edged tool laws. NYC is almost as bad with knives as guns, a folding knife can get you cuffed and sitting in holding with a charge. I personally know 2 people who got charged in Manhattan
It sounds like a robot wars rip off, an english tv show where people built RC bots to destroy each other. Used to watch that incessantly in the 90s it was great
@@scramblebluejay1559 Its an offshoot, after the founding partnership split up apparently. Both shows were on tv at one point in early 2000. Both ended around 2002 and each didnt get revived until 2016. Only Battlebots is currently active. Little robot history lesson for the dawgs
It's honestly good now, it used to be dogshit but it's commentated by Kenny Florian from the UFC, some alcoholic guy who honestly rules and Jenny Taft from Skip Bayless' show. They've moved past the wedge, it's all about spinning drums and these like lawnmower blades that chop each other the fuck up. The bots weigh like 250 lbs A piece.
@@emjay3066 there are many are like that, others that can flip themselves back over. Minotaur and tombstone have been the best for a while, both work on either side I think.
In the end, battle bots is an idea that sounded awesome on paper, but doesn't work on this scale. We need giant Japanese-style mechs to make Battle Bots catch on. We need life-size Megazord battles.
I'm from the UK so don't get some of the humour but ever since I 'discovered' Shane when he stayed at Stanhope's funhouse (I'm a Stanhope Patreon Killer Termite) I've become addictex to this podcast and will soon become a Patreon subscriber...you two work fantastically together...podcasrs..the stand-up of and for the future.
Speaking of diversity in commercials...there's this local air conditioner company that has had these really annoying, creepy commercials for years since i was a kid. They recently started this whole promo advertising that they now had 'un-manned' work vans, being that they were now sending female-only teams to install air conditioners for people. To reiterate, they were advertising that women would be installing your services as a BENEFIT.
The wedge is a staple of mechanical advantage 👍 makes me wonder how successful a battlebot with some type of pulley system would be Maybe a little trebuchet that flings the other bots into the audience
Watching this back now, I kinda glossed over this cast because I didn't recognize the Con man in this. This is like an early life crisis fashion statement.

and even now (in yearly sequential comments) the big corps are still dodging accountability by socially guiding the masses.

took the words right outta my balls, very clean brother@@JimmyJamesJimbo
dig the hoodie chris
The guest has the basically the same voice as Matt, listening to just the audio, it sounds like Shane is talking to a person with split personalities.
After listening to this ep I've decided I need to invest in wedges.
Shoutout to Biohazard ☣ the original Wedge!!!
I had the same thought as Shane with the AT&T commercial. Irrational rage for no reason and her head moves so weirdly

Can confirm... P365 is great for carry. Tons of holster options now as well.
I prefer to avoid discussion of my personal carry option online however I agree with the above two comments
