Really entertaining episode lads! And also Wow, so glad you liked the song I made and used it as the Fingle! Keep rockin’ guys!

My favourite episode so far. Super natural and awesome stories. Sounds like the vlogs are gonna be epic.

[@Phagocytosis]

Yeah, the sleeping stories with the four of them being scared of nature were an absolute scream.

That's my favourite fingle so far, nice one Jens

Man I cannot wait for the America VLog. This Hat Chat has me tempted to save up for a trip around America!

Trust me lads, they weren't assuming you were there for the Shakespeare Center because you're British. They were assuming it because that's basically the only reason anyone ever visits Ashland.

I would appreciate it greatly if you guys (or some random staffer)would change the poses of the two storm troopers for each podcast episode. Thank you.

[@ivaeradon4570]

Great stories! Love this episode! I feel your pain, though, as an American; I'm somewhat well-practiced with domestic and Canada-bound/return flights and have had ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE connecting flight experiences. More often than having a normal, uneventful flight experience, I've experienced delays, cancellations, and unreasonable airline flight changing shenanigans. Anymore I book nonstop flights and have never had issues since.

wow. its interesting hearing smiff talking about tips. i always over tip because of how we pay our waiters. they make very very little without tips. usually its courtesy to tip 20%-25% but if you have a large group you tip more. i never even think about tipping and its interesting hearing tourists talk about it. makes me want to travel!

[@samanthavanscoder9536]

In ca they make minimum wage I'm not sure about other places

[@sammiesham]

@@samanthavanscoder9536 Canada or California? I live in Pennsylvania and they make 3-4 dollars an hour while minimum wage is 7.25.

[@samanthavanscoder9536]

@@sammiesham California. I think it's against the law to pay under minimum wage.

[@sammiesham]

@@samanthavanscoder9536 the restaurant i used to work at they make 3/hr. waitors have a different minimum wage because we have the top system in place. places like the UK dont have that, so they probably make more. also Pennsylvania is a bit behind on labor laws, hence the minimum of 7.25. Im sure this will get changed eventually

Great Episode Hat Lads, but just one little thing. The "Shakespeare authorship question" is akin to people claiming the world is flat. Sure there are some who claim it, but the scientific consensus disproves them.

[@thesithbrickproductions8217]

On the topic of the power guns have for their size. I am in cadets at school and we fired an L85 at the range and I was really surprised at how little recoil a 5.56 round has. Like they kill people and it's just a little tap on the shoulder when you pull the trigger. Kinda scared me honestly.

[@handsomecaveman]

Smith looks like a character from Rick and Morty enveloping that glass.

[@Phagocytosis]

Ooh, I would love a podcast with UBI as a topic. Not just in the context of the somewhat farther (but perhaps not THAT far) future where it's just a necessity because human jobs are becoming so rare, relative to the human population at least, but also before then. To me, job automation is one (strong) argument in favor of UBIs, but certainly not the only one. As a Dutch person, I've been following Rutger Bregman quite closely, who recently went a bit viral when he talked about taxes and tax avoidance at Davos, but who also is just a strong supporter of UBI. Based on him as a source, I'm quite sure there is no country on earth that has really, truly implemented a UBI. There have been various experiments in the past (most notably one in Canada), and more recently some countries are starting to run some relatively small-scale tests with it, but it hasn't REALLY been tried so far, on a larger scale. (And some advantages of it might only come in exactly when it does become larger in scope!) Anyway, I'm sure you'll research all that thoroughly before the next podcast. There is of course no chance of anything spurious coming from these lads here, so I'm not worried :)

[@cleric1125]

Yeah our tipping system doesnt make much sense, Im absolutely against it, but of course I dont want to screw over a server so I do tip. Its fairly understood that %15 is standard, and %20 for great service. But smith does make a great point, why the hell do I have to pay for your food and then pay your wait staff for you, most of us are used to it though, i just cant stand the group of people who get pissy if you dont tip a minimum of %20 or think tipping less for bad service makes you the bad guy some how.

[@CombatArmsChannel]

You guys dislike tipping at restaurants, but did you know a lot of commissary stores in the US hire baggers to work for tips only? You literally have to pay their whole wage for them bagging haha

[@ONeill01]

Not in some states, restaurants and companies are obliged to make up for the difference if staff are paid under

UBI won't just be necessary if the entire economy is run by automation, it'll be necessary even if something like 30% of the jobs were taken by automation. And not just as a replacement for welfare either, as that is completely useless to people that are working and on welfare to begin with (as they lose their job and are then on only welfare, which isn't enough to live). There will reach a point where the insanely wealthy will just need to be happy with what they have amassed without any more growth whatsoever, just recycling their money into the government, which is then given to consumers, which then buy products, over and over and over. Otherwise,people lose jobs, not enough consumers to keep the business afloat, business fails.

universal basic income is not good

[@iamzid]

universal basic income sounds a lot like communism. it sounds really good on paper and it does actually work on a very small scale, but on a national scale the system crumbles.

[@TraitorsGambit]

Ah. Determined from the many national scale universal basic income schemes there have been...

[@evaahh9584]

Blackbeard where would the money come from for UBI though? The rich? So you are taxing the rich heavily, and giving the money to the poor, redistributing the wealth, sounds a lot like socialism.

[@TraitorsGambit]

@@evaahh9584 I'm not claiming its not. Nor am I offering a fiscal solution. All I'm pointing out is complete lack of evidence for OPs arguement. Its never occurred at a national scale, so you cant say it will or will not work at said scale.

Good podcast but boys why are you scared to talk about being high? You're not 14 and I'm not your mother. It's legal there, and in many other places.

[@noah.2B]

I am extremely skeptical about UBI for a few reasons. For one, where would the money come from? I don't support massive tax hikes, and honestly I don't want the government to be that involved in my life. Second, I believe people need a job. They need to be connected and responsible for their own survival and upkeep to feel motivated and to have meaning in their life. People hate talking about this part of it, but from my experience that's a huge reason behind the opiod epidemic here in the US is just people on welfare who don't need to work get horrifically depressed and fall into a terrible lifestyle that's incredibly difficult to escape from. idk I honestly just don't see how it could work. There's a great saying from I think it was Reagan, "If you want to discourage something, tax it. If you want to encourage it, subsidize it." and while obviously that doesn't just apply directly everywhere, I think the sentiment behind it is correct. I personally don't believe in or want the government to be that large or involved in personal issues. Yes I think there should be some form of social safety net, but I feel like when the government manages it, it is poorly executed, poorly managed and easily exploitable.

Also Mini had an actual Samoyed, not a Japanese Spitz. She was pretty big even though she was still quite young.
