Triforce!

[@Blitzkrieger17]

Pretty sure the whole stuck on the boat thing is international maritime law, not just a US thing. They need to keep crew onboard to maintain the ship at all times... The visa thing is a bureaucracy thing but again, international...

[@ceebrupt]

"I reckon a worm ate my brain" & "You know what I also miss? The delicious taste of Doritos" are two of my new favorite Triforce quotes.

[@Postmanton]

In response to Pyrion's comment about bank holidays, there was so much backlash to the suggestion we should have a bank holiday if the women's football team won the world cup, even just a one off one!

[@Civera89]

To be fair about the boat crew members, that would happen in every country in which this sort of disaster happened. It’s not an American thing….

[@mooncat7009]

he just thinks he knows everything better than everyone else… actually pretty laughable

[@DubhghlasMacDubhghlas]

and the complaint about taking their phones. Taking phones of people who are under investigation is pretty standard practice.

[@henryjohnson-ville3834]

They're a bunch of anti-American, anti-Republican Labor-Party nut-cases. Nothing to see here.

[@yognitram671]

I'm with sips on the answering things lol

[@RedSntDK]

Just too many people cold calling random numbers just to register it to some spam list. Happened for me when I had my old number. Now I'm on the robinson list and have hidden number so it doesn't even turn up in phone books with my new number. And I haven't had problems since.

[@roudydogg1]

​@@RedSntDKscammers will call your number eventually just by counting through the numbers

[@slidewineder3953]

dude 100%, same. it's definitely super common imo

[@Sc0ts]

I agree with Sips about the phone calling thing. Unless I'm expecting a call from an unfamiliar number or it is from work or family I don't answer it.

[@Terinije]

Fyi, I work at a bank in America. We have "13" bank holidays: New Year's Day MLK Jr Day Presidents Day Memorial Day Juneteenth Independence Day Labor Day Columbus Day (don't @ me, that's what it's still labeled as for us) Veterans Day Thanksgiving Xmas Eve - half day Xmas Day New Year's Eve - half day

[@DubhghlasMacDubhghlas]

I don't know where Flax got notion that those confederate holidays that he even said was just a Texas and a Florida were bank holidays.

[@ThatGuy-vr2jv]

Just what I needed!!!!!!

[@coreywho2972]

You thought we would let you get off that easy? Pyrion we need an entire episode dedicated to Lewis and Sips correcting that chips nonsense you were preaching from last episode.

[@gamingguard5895]

I don't remember any time I've ever been paid more or had a day off on any bank holiday

[@RedSntDK]

Oohh "lews news", not loose news.

[@teucer_]

There are subsidies for farmers to 're-wild' their acreages in the UK.

What would be worse, and worrying, is receiving a phone call from a loved one with whose voice, while appearing genuine, is in fact an AI

[@Raediamoon]

Y'all get paid on bank holidays? We don't. So it's more of a forced day off with no pay. Unless you work in retail then you don't get that day off and you don't get paid extra

[@grouchy4105]

Just in time for my drive home 😊

[@Waeva777]

In all the jobs Ive had, retail or in an office I've never had bank holidays off and we don't get paid time and a half either, the bank Holidays just get added onto the holiday allowance which works out.

I just googled the Almeria Greenhouses and holy fxcking shxt. 😮

[@knitterknerd]

I'm in the US South and thankfully didn't know about that offensive holiday, but c'mon, people being in favor of holidays is the most solvable problem. Don't get rid of the holiday, just change what it's for. Like Columbus Day --> Indigenous Peoples' Day. There's no good excuse for leaving these things in place.

[@DubhghlasMacDubhghlas]

It is not even a bank holiday like Mr. Flax was saying.

[@knitterknerd]

@@DubhghlasMacDubhghlas I just looked it up and, to my horror, discovered it a thing in my state, too. Not a work holiday here, but according to Wikipedia, it is in some states. I believe that's what he meant, but I could be wrong.

[@DubhghlasMacDubhghlas]

@@knitterknerd maybe but in general bank holidays are universal. Bank holidays in the US are all federal holidays. And this is the thing I hate with this podcast and some other podcasts people will hear/read something then bring it up with half remembering it at best. Like they couldn't be asked to have bit of notes, just to check for the facts.

[@knitterknerd]

@@DubhghlasMacDubhghlas I didn't know bank holiday was even a term here. I think the only time I've heard them called that here is when I worked at a credit union and we complained that we didn't get the same holidays as banks. He did at least mention that it was specific states in the south.

[@DubhghlasMacDubhghlas]

@@knitterknerd I heard of them when I was kid in school, not sure if it was from a teacher or my parents. It is a term in the US, but most people call them federal holidays because they are holidays that are federally recognized as holidays and give government employees days off. I know he did, but that should have been clue to him it is not bank holiday. I love these guys but at times it is painful how they twist things because they just half remember a thing.

[@Commandos12]

when did lewis got himself a wife xD?

Yeah what was that about? Freudian slip?

you mean at 3:40 when he's talking about jeremy and his wife? or is it later

[@Watam8o]

Do you guys literally pay Pyrion to have L takes for controversy clicks?

[@notaproblemmm]

what'd he say

[@grouchy4105]

Every podcasts needs that one guy with constant bad takes

[@pyrionflax]

what upset you this time, baby?

[@Watam8o]

@@pyrionflax hmmm probably how you take your very Londoner opinion and try to apply it to every corner of the planet. The greenhouses exist for a reason. It provides jobs, food, and income for impoverished people in the area. Bro is literally on vacation and is telling an African farmer making 3$ an hour his green house is "blocking my view". The green house gases have actually been reversing the warming of that region and cooling it back down. A huge win for the environment. Not everywhere can be a pretty little bubble. Maybe I should go to London and say "Too many buildings, bad for the environment. Tear em all down". HOA suck and nobody likes being told what to do on the property they own. (Love the podcast and content though just sometimes you have to have faith the entire government has already figured something out better than Pyrion Flax)

[@Watam8o]

​@@pyrionflaxI wrote out a super lengthy comment about why the greenhouses exist in Spain and how much they've helped the region, but KZbin deleted it because I guess at some point I used a naughty word. Basically I'll sum it up as: Don't treat everywhere like London. Out of the 3 members you definitely have the most bias. Love the content. Long-long time listener, but the Brit takes really sound disconnected with reality. Tell Sips I said Hi!

[@caleb2079]

I'm a long time listener and viewer. Over ten years. From when I was 12 to now being 22. It's sad listening to you kick the same dead horse time and time again. Maybe a perspective change is needed in order to continue. Though I may not agree with your opinions, I want you guys to succeed. You are only digging a hole with your current public statements
