Episode 210 - Conquered (ft. Uncle Buck)

Welcome back fans to another Uncle Buck episode of HWIDG. Tim is Dead, long live the Buck! This week we're a little less fired up and talking about these issues.* Sh!tty Tools* Indigenous People's* What do you want for Christmas* The Expendable FranchiseBuy a tool, buy it once, that's the way I live. Every now and again though you buy some piece of crap tool that you just sort of make do with until it breaks, and then you're just stuck either waiting for a replacement, or you've bungled the project so badly that it's time to start over. Yet you've only got $40 so you might as well just buy that same tool again because hey it lasted a year, and how long is the real deal gonna really last. Then boom, you've got a cutting wheel right to the eye and you're blind now.How long must we suffer the sins of the father? How many other conquered nations get to whine and complain about how their culture was taken over by foreign invaders. In China they erase as completely as possible the history of the previous dynasty. I understand why, otherwise they have to be told about how there are systemic problems because people that weren't even their ancestors did bad things. How long are you going to sit there and complain without saying thank you? Are you driving a car? Or are you still stuck in the stone age? That's what I thought, shut the eff up.Why do people always need to give input on a gift? Just buy something. Am I really so fragile that you think the wrong gift will send me into a fit of rage, or spiraling into a depression? I'd rather get nothing than spend the currency of time it takes to answer 400 questions and then not get the thing I wanted anyway. Please, just leave me alone. If you find something you think I'll like get it, if you don't I really won't let my feelings be hurt.In 2009 Stallone had a dream. "What if we got a bunch of washed up muscle men to make a big dumb action movie." It was genius and it went on to win an academy award for ass kicking. Then he made a second one, and it was a boring slog bookended by forgettable action scenes. Then he flew too close to the sun. He made a third movie, also boring, but this time instead of muscle men, he picked the who's who of nobodies, and he made it PG-13. Then he started talking about making an all woman version of the movies, and here we are 10 years later. We have 3 movies with incomprehensible plots and someday we're going to have to explain to our children why we own it on DVD, Blu-Ray, and 4K UHD Blu-Ray.All of that plus updates on the Dinosaurs, where the #MeToo money went, what TV show I watched too much of, and much more in this very Buckled episode.
