Hey guys! Im a first time boss. I am 23 and was promoted to a management position. I am the youngest in this relatively small company to ever hold this sort of position. I have an assistant under me that is doing the same job I was doing. He is about 10-12 years my senior and it’s a very awkward situation in my head. For context I am the head chef at a fraternity. It’s only the two of us. I’ve started to notice he is doing things in a way that bother me and sometimes doing things that should not be done. Are there any tips you could give for reprimanding him? Counter point; are there any tips you could give to keep him motivated? Thanks so much guys!

Woody: who has the higher net worth, you or your dad. Just kind of curious because you’ve told stories of him saying you weren’t even making “real money” at Cisco. Not asking for specifics by any means, just wondering if you really turned it around on him from the days of the real money comments.

If any of the hosts could have 10in of anything, what would it be?

Mostly for Woody but if the felon or the owl if they know much about it. About a year ago i started using the acorns app that uses roundups and small weekly deposits to invest in their premade portfolio. Its done decent, around $850 invested and gained about $100. Im about to graduate college and my mom wants to give me a lump sum to start my retirement fun. First, thoughts on contenting the acorns account? Also, recommendations on investing the lump sum (~$7,000) all at once or averaging it out over time?

Ok kyle I know most people want to keep the Tarkov talk short, but what is the best way to learn the game? Literally downloaded it yesterday after being pressured to get it by my friends and I am really confused about all of it. Is their any good youtube channels for absolute beginners you would recommend?

Move to Colorado and smoke a lot of weed probably

What was it like getting raided by the ATF? Were you home? Did you think you were being robbed. Was there any moment in time you reached for your firearms for self defense?

What level of cheating would it personally take each of you to leave someone? As in at what level does it become a deal-breaker? Just talking? Kissing?

woodT, what would it take to get you do do another rap intro to PKA? The last one was so damn good.

What was something cringeworthy from your childhood or teen years?

What is Kyle going to do on the first day he is off probation? I imagine it's going to be an epic day!

What is something that you recall from your youth, good or bad, that you would like to ask a younger generation about to see how it has changed? A strange example of mine, I remember very fondly playing the hell out of the game Red Rover with friends as a child, and I can't help but imagine that these sorts of playground games, especially those that are physical, probably don't even exist anymore. My 12 year old newphew didn't know what "Smear the Queer" was. :(

What is the most heinous video each of the boys have ever watched?

Have you guys watched 1917 yet? I’m interested to hear everyone’s thoughts on it, especially Kyle’s honestly. I think it is the best war movie since Saving Private Ryan. I may consider 1917 To be even better. I thought it was a cinematic masterpiece with the way it was shot. It almost feels like you are playing a call of duty campaign. If you guys haven’t already, please go out and watch it at the best theater you can find. Behind Mad Max: Fury Road, this is the most entertaining movie I’ve ever watched. Who knows? I might be greatly over exaggerating but i’d love to hear your thoughts on it.

How do you guys feel about solutions to the automation problem? This is something Yang tried to address with his universal basic income, I just feel like it's at a slightly too early point in history. Do you think slow expansion of socialist policies like government healthcare/housing could be an answer?

Woody: do you consider yourself retired? If not, whatcha up to?

Woody, it's time to Escape. Check your Discord DMs :]

You guys have really gotten me into reading more in the past year (The Three Body Problem, 11/22/63, It, etc.). I'm wondering, what is each of the host's favorite book of all time?

Short version: Can Kyle please explain the movie Predator? Long version: Kind of a weird question. Many PKAs ago, a discussion sprang up about Kyle's compelling way of describing movies. Kyle mentioned that he would frequently watch movies with people he was dating and get their thoughts afterwards, which usually differed greatly from his. He would then present his own interpretation to them in his trademark style and completely change their opinions. He mentioned that Predator was his favorite movie to do this with, and immediately started to set up his whole Predator spiel. And right when Kyle was about to drop the greatest Predator analysis of all time, the conversation suddenly took a left turn and the subject never came back up. I'm still feeling a little blue balled to this day. Can you guys please revisit this? (& thank you all for this amazing podcast!)

Have any of you watched Parasite yet? It has a 99% critical score and a 93% audience score from ~4700 verified ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. I’ve seen all the movies nominated for best picture this year and IMO Parasite is by far the most deserving of the award.

I’d love any advice on moving cross country (IN to AZ in this case)
