Don't worry about it. Unintentional. Don't worry about it. And uh, non-coffee. Off-cookle. It was so good. That was really good. I had the no good. Before you all,

I sit next to Griff in the office and And before Y'all recorded that thing, she kept showing me stuff for the coffee and talking about the coffee. And I didn't have the heart to tell him I wasn't gonna be there. And I was like, okay, cool, cool. And then I think, I don't remember who someone came or John or someone came over,

he was like, you know, Gus isn't gonna be there with you for this, right? And then the look on their face was like classic. Yeah, I had no idea. You go back and listen to that supplemental episode. It's myself and Jeff with blizz and griff. Yeah. Making some coffee, the official coffee of Anma,

which I think is a vanilla lavender milk latte. Vanilla lavender oat milk latte. Which Jeff liked and said that it tasted like essential oils. It tasted like essential oils. It tasted like a face mask. That's not fucking insult coming from you. And then Eric had somebody great. Yeah, 100% right.

But we're back regular normal episodes, the regular old boring Gus that are canonical. These are canonical episodes. Full of canon. These are full of canon. These are full of canon. And we're back. So I had a weird thing last week where I think I came down with a cold. And the only symptom I had was that I lost my voice.

And you might be able to hear it still kind of right now. My voice is not back to 100%. It's like 90%. So if I sound a little off, that's what's going on. And the great thing is that, I had a cold, I still had to go film something outside at a location. We had a location and everything, and I had to tell everyone who in charge of that,

it was like, hey, we can still film this. I'm just not gonna be able to talk or do anything. So we have to go, but we filmed this thing outdoors and I have to go back and redo all the lines. And someone's gonna have to ADR. What did you film? I don't wanna say, well, I guess I could say, you know, in around about,

some RTX promos. It didn't have anything to do with me. No, no, no, I wasn't thing we filmed. No, no, no, no. It was RTX promos for RTX coming up this summer. And so we, you know so we had this location shoot, people were involved and I'm gonna have to go. People were involved.

One of that's the thing, it's like normally if it's just me. They're gonna be more involved after this too. It was just me or if it's just you guys, it's like whatever, right? We can reschedule, we can pivot, but it's like, I feel guilty whenever like there's this other whole production back end.

So it was great, great timing. It made me wonder about people getting sick on film sets or big productions and it's like, how much money is lost just because someone's voice has messed up for a little while. It is so funny you say that because I'm not supposed to be here recording right now. I'm supposed to be getting a root canal as we see.

But I was like, I can't let the boys down. If you're a face listener, you're hearing preview content for a few weeks out. This is the last thing I'll record before I go in and two and a half hours from my fucking 10,000 root canal. I got more root canal's in teeth. You got a problem. We need to sit down, have a root canal intervention with you.

I'm all about it. Do you ever wake up in the morning with a strange song or... You ever open your eyes in the first thing? It's like a song. You're like, why the fuck is that in my head? I don't think so. I feel like it happens to me quite often. Really?

You jamming out in your sleep, but you wake up unexpectedly. Yeah. I woke up this morning and immediately as soon as I opened my eyes, to me quite often. Really? Like you jamming out in your sleep, but you wake up unexpectedly in the middle. Yeah. Like I woke up this morning and immediately as soon as I opened my eyes, I had shentily laced by the big bopper in my head. Yeah. Hello, baby. And I was like, why am I thinking about that?

That should be because it's a long time. That should be because it's a big bopper. No more. Every day. The first thing you hear, the whole thing, crazy shit. No, baby.

Crazy shit I've ever heard. But it made me think, it also made me think about, and I think the reason it was in my head was I will, the other it was in my head was, I would, the other strange thought in my head the same time when I woke up this morning was, there was, I don't know if you remember this,

there was a cartoon in the 90s, starring McCulley Culkin, and the theme song for that cartoon was a parody of Shantilly Lace, where they like retconned all the lyrics to be about the cartoon. Yeah, the cartoon was called Wish Kid. I had to look it up because I couldn't remember it.

Wish Kid. Yeah, it was like some dumbass lame nighties cartoon. It only ran for one season. I looked it up this morning. I remember Page Master. That's a movie. Yeah, it was like McCulloch and basically played like himself, right? It's character's name was not McCulloch and it was like a little kid who had a magic baseball glove

that a star fell on. So once a week he could make a wish using his magic baseball glove. Once a week. Yeah. Did he wish for good things for humanity? No. And so in reading up on it,

it's like I have a vague memory of this cartoon from the 90s, but I guess they had to change the theme song so it was no longer that parody of Shantilly Lace because they got sued because they didn't have the rights for it. It was like, what a weird way to go about the entertainment business to make your theme song Shantilly Lace, but then not have the legal rights for it. So then you have to change it. What did they change it to? It was just some instrumental song. I wonder if that's the moment where it started to go down hill for wish kid. No, it was feeling good about it.

Everything, there was a lot of hype and then they're like, we got, they're like, they don't like the, we got to change the song. I don't think there was ever a top of the hill for that show. I think it started at the bottom of the hill. I'm then just rolled down into a valley or something. But I don't know. I always feel weirded out when I wake up in the morning and I've got a strange song in my head.

Like for no reason. Like it's never like a contemporary, I don't really know contemporary music. I guess maybe that's why it's not a contemporary song. But it's always like really old or rich like shit I would never listen to a couple of weeks ago. It was islands in the stream The fuck is that the first thing I'm thinking of in the morning? That's beautiful

That's great song good songs good wake up songs. I like Gus is early morning playlist. Yeah me too You should start putting that together when you have a song. That's such a good idea. Yeah. Gus, if you start making like a Spotify playlist of songs I woke up to that were just in my head. You've got two right now. Yeah. Okay. You need nine more and you got a full playlist. As they come up, I'll keep a little note pad by my bed. That's so cool. Yeah. What an insane. And then it's just really a peek into Gus's brain. It starts with, Hello!

And you're off to the race after that. Ah! Oh man, Gus, what did you do with all your time off from this podcast? What did I do? Because me and Jeff recorded content. Not much. Lots of content.

It was good stuff too. Yeah. I lost my voice for no reason. Yeah, no, no. Didn't really do anything worthwhile. Just enjoyed my free time. I went to work and sat at my desk early on Monday mornings. We were going to record these on Monday mornings and didn't have to come out here with you guys.

So he was available. So he was here. Yeah. He was around. Uh-huh. Yeah. No, no, I didn't leave. I was here. It's nice because we got good stuff to the Q&A's. The Q&A's aren't really like. I think that they're, uh, they're fun little looks into like just something different. Into some A's. Yeah. Get some A's for the. We're getting cues. We're giving A's. It's great.

Have you, um, good morning, Gus. Oh, there, have you, so in, you know, rewinding a little bit talking about that cold I had and losing my voice, I was thinking about, it made me think about like, having to go to the hospital. They're like, maybe thinking about going to the doctor in general and like having to go to the hospital. And I started, I made me think about the new hospital they built on to that Dell, the giant Dell hospital.

And I made me realize, I don't know if I've ever had to go to the hospital here in Austin. I don't know if I've ever injured myself or thought like, I need to go to the hospital now. And it'll be nice. What about you? So you have to the hospital? Yeah. Yeah, dude.

Let's see. Which hospital? I'm curious, I'm curious. I want to get you in touch. When I first moved to Austin, the seat in South down there. Okay, okay. I went there a few times, emergency room for stuff. I see it hurt a lot, you know.

Like I remember one time I was snowmobiling in upstate New York with my first wife, and I fell off a snowmobile. And I heard about 65 miles an hour, and I hurt my leg real bad and I had to go to the emergency room when I got back to Texas because the wind stopped hurting. Why?

I had to go to... Why was that hospital? How would you rate it? It was fine, it was good. Okay. I've been to Seaton, a bunch for diverticulitis. Which one? Oh yeah, yeah.

Like, in the central. Okay. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, they got 40 straight. Yeah. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, they got 30 feet. Yeah. I've been to, I'm not a fan. I think it actually is dog shit. So the South ones are better.

Okay. Yeah, I've been to St. David's a few times. That's the one like off of 35. Yeah, that's where when I smashed through the window and I had to get my hands surgery and have my tendons rebuilt and stuff. I did all that at that hospital. How's that one? Where's that?

Where's that seat? Top of the food chain. Nice. I have spent time at a couple of hospital, I spent a lot of time at Del Children's Hospital because I'm a dad. Yeah. But you didn't, you weren't treated there so.

No, you can actually be ready. Great. I can give a rating. It's a phenomenal. No, I want the inside patient's shoes. Millie, we can get Millie on and ask her. Oh, Millie, see what she's giving. She's in school. She's busy right now

in physical science class or whatever. But actually, she's in 11th grade. She wouldn't be thinking. Yeah, I was like, I don't, everything okay. She's in calculus. Okay, okay. That's more like a little,

because she hates calculus. And I've most recently spent a tremendous amount of time at the seating up north, at up like up 183 up 183 Yeah, cuz that's where Millie had her face rebuilt which ran her job rebuild surgery, so I spent about five days there When I was just recently now that you mentioned it I was just recently at the 24 hour emergency care facility right next to rooster teeth Uh-huh when I split my hand in the room and that does it do and I had to recently at the 24 hour emergency care facility right next to Ristartee, when I split my hand in the, and that does it do, and I had to get all the stitches.

So I feel like I'm at a hospital a lot. You are. Yeah. That is quite a bit. And my cousin. You go for both of us. Yeah, my cousin got sick twice, and I had to go spend time with him in the hospital.

Those are both sick navids. That was last year. So I guess the reason I'm asking is, it made me wonder if I got sick which hospital would I go to like if I need to go to the hospital That's why I'm asking you like say damn it for the inside info. Okay. Go to St. David's St. David's heart of 35 but you haven't been to the new Dell one No, I haven't been there yet. See that's the thing it's like I don't know if I'd go to that St. David's or that Dell one because they're both Close to each other relatively speaking not that far apart. I one would assume that if you're

In need of a hospital in that capacity you're going to an emergency room. I take it. Mm-hmm. if you're in need of a hospital in that capacity, you're going to an emergency room. I take it. You probably just got a closest one. But that's why I'm thinking right now. I'm trying to plan it out now. So when the time comes, I don't have to waste time thinking and I can spend time driving.

Yeah. You see I'm doing a trade off. I understand. Nice. I would go to St. David's or the New Dell. Okay. And then let it give us a review of the new Dell. If I sit down, I feel compelled. I have to go there. David's or the New Dell. Give us a review of the New Dell. I feel compelled.

I have to go there that way. I can rank it. Now that he's had this whole thought process, he's gonna have it. He's bragging about having it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Within three weeks, you will be in a hospital. I'm sorry. I hope it's not serious.

I hope you recover. I will visit you. I'll bring you a teddy bear. I'll bring you. If you can eat chocolates, I'll bring you a teddy bear, I'll bring you, if you can eat chocolates, I'll bring you some, definitely bring you flowers, but within three weeks. I won't get ready. I'm sick of hospitals.

Thank you. Yeah, no problem. So fucking tired of hospitals, I won't visit you, but I had the same dilemma where it was like, okay, it refused the ambulance. Where do we go? And it's like, we go to Dell, like the children's hospital.

I don't think you can do that. And St. David's. So it's definitely a learning hospital. What do you mean? A lot of students seems like a lot. A lot of me. Yeah, but like not as sexy. You know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah. Mostly just a lot of students who are like in Gen Z sweatpants, like helping you out. I watched my first ever episode of Grey's Anatomy Lesson. Like my wife's like favorite show. Yeah. Was it episode one? No, no, no. My daughter is, that is her defining show. You know, like I have twin peaks. That show has been on as long as she's been alive.

She, it's on, it's still on. Yep. The only episode of Gray's Anatomy I've watched is the most recent episode because it was the last episode with Dr. Gray and Millie wanted to catch it live. She usually watches like on Netflix or whatever. And I was like, you know what, let's watch what you want to watch. So let's watch this is a big deal.

And so I sat down and watched it last night. Wow. So the titular character will no longer be on the show. Yeah. So what happened? Ellen Pompeo. So what happened is Dr. Gray. This is what I've surmised from listening to million in the car for years. Gray's anatomy spoilers. Do we need to? Yeah. Sorry. Gray's anatomy is supposed to be.

You haven't seen the most recent episode. Yeah. If you're not caught up on season 18 of Gray's 19 episode seven, oh my god. Then you're about to be spoiled. Wait for you to leave. Okay. Dr. Grace House blew up. Why? I don't know.

Okay. But the roof blew off. Yes, explosion. Yeah, some sort of major explosion. And then her daughter, she's got three kids. I adopted kid and then two kids that she shit out. And the adopted kids are genius. Okay. And the adopted kid and then two kids that she shit out. And the adopted kids are genius. And the adopted kid is having trouble in schools in Seattle

because they're not set up for a kid as smart as her. So there's a school in Boston. Yeah, there's a school in Boston that's perfect for her kid. And so Dr. Gray moves the whole family to Boston to create a better learning environment for the brilliant kid, which I had a lot of fun making fun of the two normal who aren't smart kids

or just like, but I'm dumb. Can I stay in Seattle or with all my dumb friends? Why don't I have to move to go be smart? I won't thrive in Boston. That's not gonna create any resentment at all. Yeah, right, so. Anyway, so between the house, she took the house blowing up as a sign

it's time to make a change in my life and so she moved across country. And the hospital will continue. What she even did was they, there's a bunch of interns circling back to the learning hospital. There's a bunch of interns that are like the new cast, Dr. Gray left keys for the mall at her house. So they can stay in her house that's been blown up as long as they oversee the repairs. The blow up house. Yeah.

As long as they don't go up in the attic, everything is fine. So what's in that major of a blow up? I think it was a pretty bad blow up, but they've already done a lot of work. Yeah, I guess there's been repairs for a while. It's on ABC, you can do anything. As someone who's lived through a renovation,

I call bullshit on this on this repair time. I'm right there with you. I'm right there with you. Maybe they do things differently in Seattle. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's all the great weather. They're able to just I know is there's three interns living on the first floor of Dr.

Grey's ancestral family home just like at the beginning of the show when they were to interns. That's what really told me. Yeah, I know that. Wow. Karev was there. Izzy was there. George was there.

Are you a great head? It's my wife's favorite show. So everything I'm telling you, you are, this all, yeah. I've learned through Osmosis. You don't have anything like that. Esther's like, here's this thing that I watch and you're just like around it enough that you know.

Yes, but then I started watching it. Yeah. It was a dead to me on Netflix. Yeah. Which was like a show that she really liked. She was really into. And then the last season came out. And I was like, it was season three. It wasn't like a super long show.

I was like, I watch it. Fucking great show. Super happy I watch it. Yeah. Amazing show. I'm sorry. Well, in one way, I'm sorry I sat by and just listened about it for so long. But in the other hand, when I started watching, I just watched the whole thing.

I didn't have to wait. I the same thing with Emily's show is VEEP. I had never seen an episode of VEEP before. I wasn't particularly excited to see old episodes, was not a dating. But now I've seen every episode of VEEP like six times. I can't watch that show. It's really good. It is, it's very good. I can't watch that show. It's really good. It is, it is, it's very good.

It, the sheer brutality of that show. It, it is a show where, you know what, the office was like, this is kind of awkward. That's all V-P is and nobody ever wins. They, they lose constantly. When you think someone's about to win, guess what? They actually are secretly losing And you know, oh it yet. I hate it. I think Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Ted Danson might be the two greatest television

performers in the history of television. They're pretty incredible. They both had just insane careers That let that they are where they are today in 2023 is just as strong as where they were in the 80s. And they've had hit after hit after hit. It's fucking wild. Yeah, my wife wanted to start a podcast about Grayson Ademy where she just goes back and rewatches it and I just went, I don't know if you just want people to like,

want people to interact with that, I don't really get it. But it's good to know that Millie also likes it. That's funny. She's seen the entire run three times. Wow. Geez. That just watches it over and over again. So my wife does the same thing.

She got burned out the other day. Didn't want to do like a fourth watch. So she was like, that just watched all of Bojack Horseman. Another show I've never seen. I was like, is it good? And she was like, man. I feel like a show similar to that is not that my wife watches. I know I feel like I know a lot of people who watch.

It's always sunny. And Kasi tried to get me to watch it. that my wife watches. I know I feel like I know a lot of people who watch. It's always sunny. And Kasi tried to get me to watch it. And I just refused. I just got it. I was like, yeah. Well, even before you, before you started watching it, I knew we had like other people in our circle who would try to get us to watch it.

Dan Godwin was always trying to get us to watch it. Well, what I'm about to say does not apply to Dan Godwin. I know. I felt like everyone who tried to get me to watch it, except for Dan Godwin, or just like, idiot jerks. And I was like, I don't trust these people's opinion, and I'm not gonna watch the show just because of who's telling me to watch. It is funny, too, because you're right.

Those people are all idiot jerks, and it doesn't take away from the show, but you realize after watching the show, or if you ever were to watch the show, they were watching the show for all the wrong reasons. Yeah. I know you know the same with the show. You know the people were to watch the show, they were watching the show for all the wrong reasons. I know you know the same with the show. You know the people I'm talking about. Yeah, I do. Because we run in the same circle.

I'm not going to listen to anything these people tell me to do. Yeah. Hey, you were talking about losing your voice earlier. Yeah. You guys have been doing this long enough that that's mostly your tool for this. Yeah. Does that happen a lot? No, for me, no.

I mean, even through the years, like, when you're doing RVB, and it's like, oh, we have these yelling scenes and all this stuff, was that ever an issue for you guys? Is that anything you ever really ran into? For me, no. I think the worst is if I have to spend a couple hours like doing efforts or yelling, my voice might get a little weird at the end,

but I think this might be the first time I lost it in decades. Wow. Yeah, I'm going to try not to speak in absolutes anymore, but I'm going to write here, I don't think I've ever lost my voice. I don't think I've ever come close. I recognize that it happens. I've seen people with, like, people we've known in the past have lost their voice regularly at times, and it's like, it's one of those things where I just don't know how it happens. I've seen people with like, people we've known in the past of lost voice semi-regally at times.

And it's like, it's one of those things where I just don't know how it happened. Like I've yelled as much as I could possibly yell and it's just like, I've never, I never felt like I've damaged my voice. It always sounds the same. You got the golden voice. No, it's not really gold about it.

I've got a tin foil voice, but it is fucking, it is consistent and solid. I mean, all through the year, like even doing efforts, our knees have so much voice acting and everything, and it's primarily you guys. I don't even know what it would feel like. I think about it sometimes, like, what is it like to lose your voice? I'm not able to talk. I don't even, I don't know.

Well, I think for us, Barbie, it's so close to our regular voice anyway. It's just amounts of talking. Did that happen with, like, Matt or anyone else that was like, I feel like Bernie Siles is voice calling. Yeah, he would have to make hot tea. He was who I was talking about. He would have to make hot tea every now and then to like shock his vocal cords back into working.

I think it happens to a lot of people. I've seen it happen to Jack before too. I think it's a fairly common thing. I don't know what the difference is. May I have just been lucky, I guess? You never ran into anything else is broken. Yeah, you never ran into production delays for voices, but just for root canals and general other grievances,

things like that. A couple of weeks ago, we talked about Nick having to sub in for Jason in an episode of Red versus Blue. And at the time for some reason, I couldn't remember the line, but it was in season one, it's an early episode. It's what I couldn't hear you over the but the line, it's in season one, it's an early episode. It's what I couldn't, I couldn't hear you over the sound of your constant team killing. When Tucker's talking to Kaboos, there it is.

I think I just said it was like a dumb throw line. It's cool that you remembered it. Yeah, I remember it. It's crazy. I remember you, I remember you talking of your constant team killing. Yeah. That's how you delivered it.

Yeah. Yeah. I just, it was bothering me that I couldn't say the line when we mentioned it, and I remember that since we were done recording. Here's a memory from that time. Okay. I realize we've been talking about TV shows the whole time.

Hi, whatever. So here's a memory from that era that Gus triggered with me. When we used to make, I'm going back to season one of Red versus Blue, which was when that happened, Jason was living in New York with the power that had that huge three day power added. She couldn't record, so we had Nick do it. By the way, it's on Nick the other day.

He's doing great. Looks good. Got coffee with him. When we were doing season one of RVB and it was all very fresh and new, we'd go over after work and we would, you know, Bernie would lay out the audio tracks. Eventually, other people took that ever, but Bernie would lay out all the audio tracks and like, on a timeline timeline in audition or final cut or even pro 2000.

Yeah, whatever was. Windows movie maker. And, sorry, lost my voice. And we would, you know, he would play, he would just play like one line. It'd be Nick saying that. Couldn't hear you ever, you're constantly killing him. And you, you know, you would just try to head bob to the movements, right?

But what I would do subconsciously, and I didn't know I was doing it, but it got under Bernie's skin, maybe got under Gus's skin too, but it got under Bernie's skin so fast, he would scream at me and yell at me to stop, and I wouldn't stop because I couldn't stop because I didn't know I was doing it.

I would say the lines out loud for every character, for every line in reverse blue as I did a take and mock them and make fun of them. And it, see, like at first you were on board, you were like, yeah, I can see that. That's like a performance thing. You're keeping on board. And it's like, oh wait, it's Jeff we're talking about.

And I just didn't know I was doing it. It was one of the things, and I recognized it was my wait, it's Jeff, we're talking about. And I just didn't know I was doing it. It was one of those things, and I recognized it was my failing. We hated to record with Jason. I love Jason, but we hated to record Jason because he would, after about 10 minutes, he would get bored and start throwing grenades. And then he would do so much damage, we'd be like, Jason,

we gotta reset the whole fucking map now. It's gonna be like, you just set us back 30 minutes because you couldn't not shoot a gun for one second. He would get bored. Yeah. I mean, it's boring work. Yeah. Yeah.

What? It was brutal. Yeah. And that was my pet peeve. You said drive me crazy because then we'd have to reset the fucking tank up and everything again. Do you remember how you could make scorch marks on other parts of the map? Uh-huh.

If I could be made enough damage on another part of the map, the damage in yours would go away. Right. There's only so much damage that could be displayed on the map at one time. So if you created scorches on another area area the ones you were filming at would uh... would disappear we all kinds of dumb stuff like for people can have a flashlight turned on at the same time in halo one just dumb shit yeah you you would you never knew that you know that there were flashlights on the guns in halo one there were uh pointless uh however yeah that was my thing and he used to piss Bernie off and then I I have felt bad about it

But then also like pissing Bernie off was kind of like you know why why I got up in the morning was my it was my Hello baby First thing I heard when I woke up in the morning is like how do I know this man? And so but I did it for like the entire time I had bobbed. I couldn't not Ridicule and mock everybody's acting performances, including my own, which were also terrible. Oh yeah, we were terrible. So talking about that when I said cool edit pro, it made me angry again.

They all get. That's the software that initially was used for all the audio recorders. Cooled it. It's Cooled it Pro, then it was, they like updated Cooled it Pro 2000. And it was like freeware, like if you could just download it from them, then if you wanted to, like unlock all the features, you could pay like 30 bucks. And then you could like, you had like full features of the software. And then Adobe bought them. Oh, no way.

They changed the splash screen on startup from Cool Edit Pro to Adobe Audition and then it was $600. It was the exact same program. They just changed the fucking splash screen and it became Adobe Audition and they marked it up 24. Mother fuck. It went from a free program that you could pay $30 if you wanted to to audition.

Okay, which I still use to this day. Like I record this in audition. Let me ask this, because I do believe this. Or is Adobe the most useful company that has done everything they can to fuck themselves in their user base more than probably anyone else. They are changing it again, where like all of their creative sweet stuff

is going to be a monthly cost. Yeah. So you can't just get the program, pay for a year, whatever it is, it's like, well, if you wanna use Photoshop, which every fucking person does, every artist that I know and everything, they'll illustrate or Photoshop, all this stuff.

Some know, make a, there you go. And it's a monthly cost. We're a company. So people afford, my friend Andrew, who just does this stuff, is like, I don't know what I'm gonna do. Back in the old days, you just had a friend who went to Texas State or you,

or you bought an educational copy, bought you a copy. Yep. Yeah, I had, and on top of that, there's like that internet connectivity. Yes. Portion to the other day, we lost power at the studio then the power came back up, but the internet was still down,

and I needed to record some audio pickups so I fired up audition, but my login had expired, and I needed to re-log in, but our internet was down, so I couldn't log into Adobe, so it wouldn't let me launch audition. It's like, I am paying for this program,

or I'm not, a company, this program is being paid for, and I can't use it right now because our internet isn't, or I have to like ask around and find someone else's computer, I could use audition at because I couldn't authenticate on my... Similarly, the other day I went to get ready to record an episode and I was told that my license had expired and I no longer had access to Adobe Suite.

I had to mess the jarric and say, like, can somebody please pay a credit card? I had to talk to Dante and IT and he's like, I got you, I got you, no problem. It's like, why do we even have to do this? So dumb. So dumb. And I feel like, can I please, I really do use it all the time?

Can I please get it back? I feel like I have the justice. With me, I feel like, I feel bad, because I do use audition, I do use, but I use it so shittily, it's like I'm not good at it, and I use it so irregularly, that I feel guilty that anyone has to pay

for my access to it. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, I just insane. Yeah, it's just crazy. I hate Adobe so much. But like, is that what you guys edited on? Like, what did you edit on when you were doing Red Vroom? We did. We started with Premiere.

And then why don't all Fred versus Blue ever change? We switched over to achieve 100 of Final Cut for many years. I feel like we were doing RVB and Final, yeah we did. The whole company switched over to Mac when we were downtown. And so then we did Final Cut for years and years and years until they,

just to be clear, you say we switched to Mac, Premiere was available on the Mac as well. That's true, that's true. We switched to Mac and Final Cut. And then I think it was when Apple discontinued Final Cut Pro, we switched back. When they went to Final Cut X. And we just switched back to Premiere.

And I don't think the company's ever moved back. Some people used, I know Gavin and Jack still edit in Final Cut. I have not used Final Cut X. It came out, I used it, I tried to use it briefly. It was not ready. Me too. So I went back to Premiere. And it was like, that's it. And everyone swears it's good now and that they fixed all of those issues. But I've already made the switch.

Well, you jump back. Also the work that I'm doing, it's going to be. The workflow from Final Cut 7 to or Final Cut Pro to audition is, it's almost seamless. You have to re-learn a couple of like quick keys commands, but's almost seamless. You have to relearn a couple of quick keys commands, but that's it.

The architecture is all the same. Final Cut X was a whole different animal. I know a lot of people are moving to Da Vinci, Da Vinci resolved and all that stuff because it feels like it's that rollback to what premiere and Adobe were doing before and you didn't have to be always online and all like this other stuff.

But I haven't seen it in so long that I don't know if that's still how it is. So people might have just gone, fuck this. As long as we're not working in Sony Vegas, I'm happy to use you.

Next gen gaming is built with Intel Core i9 processors. I think into a PhD program up in Madison, Wisconsin, so they moved, but he became, he left the video game industry and started,

got a job up at Sony and he ended up like being the coder for Sony Vegas. And I wanna say at this, this was like, maybe early 2000s. And I wanna say like, I talked to him once or twice after they moved and he was like, it was like a two-man operation. Oh my God. For like Sony Vegas. I think Sony, pretty much like talked to him once or twice after they moved and he was like, it was like a two-man operation. Oh my god.

For like Sony Vegas. I think Sony Vegas. Geez. Pretty much like decided they didn't give a fuck. And he was like, yes, pretty much as me and the other dude, we authored the DVD. Like, you know, we just like, I'm just like a one-man shop. I know so many people who stole from that guy. Yeah.

So you talked about VitoGame developers in Austin and it triggered a memory. And I'm gonna speak broadly because I don't want to identify this person definitively. But we had a friend of a friend who was a video game developer. This was before Ruestriety. This is back when we were at the call center. I know, you're talking about that. Yeah. And this friend of a friend had, it was like, it was a local video game developer, had developed

some games that you've probably played. Like there's some very well-known games. It was like it was a local video game developer had developed some Games that you've probably played Like there's some very well-known guarantee you've played at least at least one of them and his and at least in his development career before he started his own company, right and He you know started his own video game development company got a License for a very big intellectual property and Was like yeah, you know, we're making this game, blah, blah, blah, all this stuff. And he's like, yeah, it's funny. All these people come out of the wood works wanting to work with us just because we have this

intellectual property. Yeah, I got an email the other day from some dipshit audio guy named Danny Elfman who wants to make music for us. Who would not leave it? And I'm like, we're not interested. And it's like, he just keeps berating me because he loves his leave it alone? And I'm like, we're not interested. And it's like, he just keeps berating me because he loves his property so much.

And I'm like, we have to be like, do you know what fucking Danny Elfman is? He was like, don't know, don't care. Yeah, it was like, man. Like you. I don't think the game ever came out. The game did come out. Did it?

Yeah. Okay. To middleing reviews. But it's just funny how sometimes media doesn't translate like that. Like you think of Danny Elfman as being a huge name and like you say that in pH. Because who will know who it is, but then other people have no fucking clue.

You're contemporaries. Yeah. Yeah. Who you are, what you've done, or the accolades that you've received. Like Jake Paul and Gavin. That's like, I think appears. I think I might have told an element of this story

on this podcast, so I won't go deep into it. But Gus and I worked at the call center and we became a outsourced, it was an outsource, it was outsource technical support for ISPs. It's called seamless integration. You called TXU communications, you thought you were talking to them, but you were really talking to us.

We had a big client in Dallas that we spend and it's been a lot of time with. I don't even know if they're still a company. I don't think so. I looked them up a couple of years ago, but I don't know what it is. They were called Vario. I don't know if they're still around. Okay.

But we were up there doing some cross-training one time and one of the dudes there who was like above me and a tech guy was complaining about a customer complaining about some bullshit website called Amazon and he didn't know what Amazon, and I had to explain to this dude what Amazon was. And he lifted me like I was such an asshole, like nobody cares man.

And this would have been 99 or 2000, 2000 probably. At least 2000. Yeah, yeah, or 2001. Like Amazon was Amazon, still at that point. Yeah, it was a close dot com. It was earlier before you had it. Yeah, but still you knew who that was. And I just remember thinking like, how can this dude be in this world,

in this tech world that we all live in and have never heard of the largest online retailer of all time? And it's just like, it just is that way sometimes. Mm-hmm, man. You guys run into that anymore? Like, people just not knowing something? Yeah, but like, people that like you're again contemporaries with, not like, oh my mom

doesn't know what Netflix is. Like, I feel like everything's so plugged in. The only thing you really miss is memes. I feel like everyone else knows all this other bullshit. Yeah, I feel like I'm that very guy now, more than anything. Like in my late, fucking 47, I'll be 48 this year, which is ridiculous. And I am, I felt, I felt a moment about a year ago

where I let go of pop culture. Yeah. And I felt like from that moment on, I've started to become less and less in tune with things and I'm more and more like on the outskirts and I have to have shit explained to me a lot. Or I just don't bother, you know, anymore. But yeah, I've become the person that we were railing against.

Yeah. And it happens to everybody. I think so too. You just don't have the bandwidth. You have other things that occupy you. You have the bandwidth. You just don't have the desire to put the effort into it. I think. So the thing that I'm running into is that I think that I

feel like at this point I'm seeing just a regurgitation of stuff I've already seen. So it's hard for me to give a shit about this thing that people are talking about now. It's like, have you heard the song? It's like, oh, I heard the song that this is ripping off. Yeah. Well, have you listened to Olivia Rodriguez's new album? I have heard Elvis Costello's pump it up before, so yes, I've heard most of this album. It's very, it's just very weird.

It's not to say any of it's bad. None of it's bad. The stuff that I know is all just regurgitation from previous generations, so it doesn't matter. It's all fucking cyclical. It's it. I would like to illustrate that point with a joke. That's not my joke.

I went to, I've been going to stand up a lot in town lately and I went to stand up last Thursday and I saw, I don't remember the comedian's name so I can't credit him, but it was a dude at the Vulcan gas company last Thursday, local comedian who had such a funny fucking joke. He basically said, he's talked about that. He's like, yeah, people talk about how politics

is worse than it's ever been. The civil discourse is crazy than it's ever been uh... the civil discourse is work crazy that's ever been we've got presidents like a trump and by the who are like break in the law or lunatics or old and in feeble and we've never had a we've never had like this kind of turmoil around a president and he goes john f kennedy fucked marlin Monroe while he was president. Allegedly. Allegedly. That's way crazier than the shit that's going on right now. He was like, can you imagine like the most important person in the world had an affair

with the most famous celebrity in the world while in the White House. And the joke part was he was like, that would be like if Joe Biden had sex with David right now Which I that was a really funny joke the biggest celebrity in the world. Yeah It's also so fucking true if you think about it like it's a Nothing is new It's just yeah, you just people talk about you know, Biden being old which which he fucking is. Yeah. But it's like, I also remember, Reagan had dementia. Like, yeah, they had, they had, they had Reagan's dementia for a couple of years while he

was president. And I get it. Um, people who have, uh, never experienced that stuff because they were born after 9-11 are, uh, making a video about how this shit's so crazy. And it's like, we did this. We already did this. We already did the crazy old guy thing in the 80s. Who was, and even further back,

who was the president that had a stroke? So his wife hit it and then like essentially was president for him. Oh, I don't know. They wouldn't reveal his stroke. I was back like in the 30s. Wow. I'm feeling more. Willard Tillmore. She'll get a comment telling us who it was. I was back in the 30s. Wow. Who was it?

I'm feeling more. Sure we'll get a comment telling us who it was. I don't know. I don't feel fucking idiots. No, it's true. You mentioned 9-11. I still to this day, I think about every time I go to the airport, didn't I used to just be able to walk in here and pick somebody up from the airport at

the gate and then I don't have to take my fucking shoes off and be treated like I'm a criminal. That's right. Going into a fucking like a court house. Now, now we're doing an Anva. All right. Yeah. Now we're doing an Anva.

The world has changed. Baby, we're back. All right. This is good. I do want to talk about this coffee and where we are. Oh, right. We had to pivot because somebody has to get a root canal. So we went to Palomino, which is a place that we wanted to do before, but ended up and

did now. Shout out to Lewis Medina. Yeah. So his favorite coffee shop. It is, it's a little spot that is in a very gentrifying neighborhood of Austin, Texas. It feels like it's right on the line of like, where people go and where people don't go and like where people go, you should know, don't go to that part of town and then you drive through it

and you know, this is fine. There's nothing, this is fine. There's no part of Austin. But if people who are telling you that or don't fucking know Austin, yeah, absolutely. It is a nice little coffee shop, parking ran out very quickly in that,

which is very weird. It's a weird parking lot. They have, they have marked spots in the middle of the parking like where there shouldn't be spots. Yeah. But nice little spot seems very neighborhoody. A lot of people inside, a few people outside, nowhere for us to record.

So it came what, two blocks down the street. Right, Givens Park. Never been here before. Givens District Park. Baseball field over there. Yeah, definitely have Givens Park. Never been here before. Givens District Park. Baseball field over there. Yeah, definitely have driven by this. These are some long. A hundred times.

Long picnic tables or some long benches that they have set up here. I think that this is a great place to have your King Seniority inside or your King Seniority outside. That is what this feels like. Yeah, this is a park where you can rent this like inside little area or the recreation center. Yeah. And if the rec center is like taken. Oh, you can just do it outside. There's all these like huge tables. Huge long tables to do this at pretty. I bet this place is packed on a Saturday.

Oh, absolutely. Pretty fucking nice baseball field over there. Yeah. Take a look at it's not too bad for our purposes. It's definitely locked every baseball field in Austin, Texas is locked. It's wild. They don't want people to play baseball in this town. Yep. Fucking crazy. So what do you think about the coffee that you just had? Guess you got the Americana, Jeff you got the cold brew,

I got the regular drip. It's good. It's not like mind blowing, but it's pretty solid. Look at me. Yeah. Here's what I'm gonna say about Palomino. Okay. So I've been coming here often on for a while.

Okay. I love everything about Palomino. Oh. Ambiance, decor, the people that work there are lovely. There was a cool dog in there. There's a cool dog in there. They have these like, the little shelving, like a doby shelving thing they built up is so cool.

The cacti says that they built that a... Cacti. Cacti, sorry, thank you, cus. The cacti outside, the stone cacti or metal cacti are awesome. I love everything about Palomino. Except. But the coffee.

Yeah. Mine's good. It is the ice coffee there is, I remember this every time I get it and I go, all right, it's very bitter. Oh, interesting. Interesting. This is a great cup of coffee. I'm gonna get it. Okay, good, I felt's very bitter. Oh, interesting. Interesting. This is a great cup of coffee.

I'm gonna get it. Okay, good. I felt like maybe I was off base here. A six. Wow, this is like an eight or a nine to me. This is a damn fine cup of coffee. Maybe I'll switch to hot coffee only at Palomino because I like the place so much.

I don't want to bash it, but I just don't like their cold brew. I will say, wasn't that hot so you could really get after it, which is my complaint with a lot of coffee places, is they keep drip coffee so fucking hot. But this didn't taste burned, this has like a nice, I don't know what kind of coffee it is, but it has like a nice like a little sourness to it. Without being like acidic, it's a very nice cup of coffee.

I really do enjoy it. Okay, good. I'm glad we're on the same coffee way. Before we end, I don't know how much longer we got. We got like 10 minutes, we got to figure some stuff out., okay good. I'm glad we're on the same copy way. Yeah, before we in I don't know how much We got we got another like 10 minutes. We got to figure some stuff out. You're good. Just a jua. Do you watch the Jake Paul fight yesterday? No, no Why would I Air can edit yeah, why yeah because somebody wanted to make pizza content? Oh And it was smashing success.

Jeff is a pizza master now. Definitely not a pizza master, but I am no longer scared of the pizza oven. He's throwing dough in the air and spending it with the locals and stuff. And like every pizza that he made was better than the last one. Yeah. And we were, I probably ate a whole pizza.

Like they were like little, what, 12 inch made. Like some of that Neapolitan pizzas or whatever. I probably ate a whole pizza. Like they were like little, what, 12 inch mails, some of that Neapolitan pizzas or whatever. I probably ate a whole pizza. Yeah, pizza monsters. They are so good. He had all the toppings laid out and there's some Alina you laid down

and put the stuff on and, man, it was, he's controlling the heat on his big pizza oven outside. You know this difference this time? Last time we did it for the, yeah, thing. I watched one YouTube video. Uh-huh. Yesterday morning when I got up, I watched two.

Oh, double the knowledge. Double the knowledge. I know what else is different. He bought dough from home slice. Central market. Actually. Oh, okay. Central market sells pizza dough, which is all 99 for a little thing. Yep.

It was great. It was really nice. Getting together and my wife with her broken arm. I can't give her a fresh soda. Holds the whole thing, cold cans of soda. Oh. Oh. Anyway, we got together and watched the Jake Paul Tommy Fury fight. Yeah, it was pretty good.

That because of a Jake Paul fan. I'm not a fan of that. Who won? Tommy Fury. Tommy Fury actually won by decision. Tommy Fury fan. I mean, Tommy Fury fan. Okay. Because he is the younger brother of Tyson Fury, and you know,

I'm a huge lifelong boxing fan. But not only that, he was one of the most successful couples on love Island. Okay. Tommy Fury and Bob. I'm learning a lot. When he's had a baby named Bambi, just a door of Bambi Fury. Can you believe that? Like what? That's stupid.

He came out and like when he was doing it because walked to the ring and everything. He also came out to CCR, what's your next son? With his buddies. Much more successful British or older brother behind him. He's wearing like a vest and it says Bambi across the front with a butterfly on it and it was like what happened? Very, very weird, very weird, but it was fun. You said something, can I have a telepathy here? Please, please, please.

You know, we've done a lot of events over the years. In normal, when you go to a convention or something, you'll have a panel. You got, you show stuff for, you know, do you have you an air, whatever. Have you ever done anything with Jake Paul? No, never have. And I remember one time, one of the first packs is,

you know, we were up at Seattle at PAX, and our panel was after like the main Gabe and Tyco panel. And I wanted to, you know, kind of check out their panel, so I showed up early, and I was waiting backstage as, you know, everyone's coming in to get seated for the Gabe and Tyco Paddle. And they're there, Robert's there. And everyone gets seated.

It's go time. And they're playing music as people are filtering in. And they're about to go out on stage and broken wings is playing in the room. And they go out on stage to broken wings. And I remember I turned to Robert and I was like, what the fuck are you doing? Broken wings.

He's like, what a way to get the audience pumped to see this panel, you're playing broken wings. That is, so what was the audience's reaction? Did they just sort of like, they started like, you know, clapping. They were excited to see him. They're audience. Right.

But like at that point, you know, he was like, well, what do you want? I was like, what do you want for your panel? It's like hustling by Rick Ross. Hell yeah. And out of your remember that we went out to the net, that we were in the next panel. It's like hustling by Rick Ross was playing.

We would do that. We would go out to ghetto boys a lot. Yeah. That was a mega 64. Our panel philosophy was always, everyone else is going to sit and talk. Everyone walks to like the thing and they go, hi, we'll take some questions. We just said, what if we came out to Olao, lay Ola by Ricky Mark? That is such that gets the crowd pumped.

That's the plan. You have to put on a show hustling. Great. Fuck it's on the walk out to. That's great. Like, it's pro wrestling. You have to do the crowd pumped. Pick a song. Don't pick your favorite Lincoln Park song. Get fucked. Shut up. Pick a song that everyone knows.

A guy came out last night, went to a show, came out to lick it up. Lick it up sucks. Lick it up with a crowd of drunk people. Fucking rules. That's so everyone's standing up screaming, lick it up with a crowded drunk people. Fucking rules. That's so everyone's standing up screaming, lick it up, it's so good. It's so good, that's.

Gotta get people hyped. That's it, man. That's the power of having a good walkout song. You gotta have a good walkout song. I do haulin' notes. Hollow notes, it's hard to beat. Yeah, dreams come true. Where it goes, eh, eh, eh, eh.

At the beginning, people would be like, what the fuck is this? That's awesome. Such a good one. What is your favorite Holo Noods song? And I asked because I don't know if you know this about, Holo Noods, my favorite band, my entire childhood. First concert.

Are you serious? First concert I ever went to. I still own all my original Holo Noods vinyl. I went to the Big Bang boom tour and when I was 11 for my birthday. Holy shit. He's a big outhead. Big out head.

I'm an outer. And still to the state, considering myself to be a huge holiday fan. Wow. Rich girl. Rich girls get some. I think Rich girl is incredible. I think that's such a good song.

I think it's a loan too long. Hmm. Okay. What? I like, for me, it's a man-eater. Yeah, that's got to be true. I love that song when I was a kid, because I thought it was about a shark.

Shark, yeah. It's like, I didn't understand what the song was about until I was much older. It was like, oh, it's a cool song about a shark. That's what Gavin said that his walkout music would be is he would pick calling out its man-eater and people would think this might be about a shark. And it's not, I think most people will say, private eyes.

Private eyes is a good one. It's a great, that's a great, Sarah Smiles. That's a good song. It's a good one. Yeah, there's so many. Yeah. But yeah, alone, alone,

came out the year I was born. I was, yeah. They have a song like radio, something, what the fuck was that? Like early hauling oats before they got like a little softer, something about that. You know they're not in the rockin' roll hall of fame. So there's 70 million records.

Wow, it's a fucking crime. Huh, I think. That's just publicity, right? You just pay to get it, man. It's like a star in the Hollywood Walker thing. I think. I assume, I don't know. Doesn't.

Daryl Hall do like, he has like a burner something and like bands down here. Daryl's house. Yeah, that shit's cool. He's also a weirdo. Like I don't, like I don't has like a burner something and like bands. Daryl's house. Yeah. That shit's cool. He's also a weirdo. Like I don't. Oh, 100%.

Like he might be a like a problematic weirdo. I don't know. I haven't followed him. Okay. But I remember a couple of years ago he was getting a little weird. He's he got Lyme disease. Oh, mainly. A couple of years ago and that's kind of what derailed.

Oh, that's full. But yeah. And he became like really anti-deer. I thought I really know about it. I wanted to fold it. Yeah. And he became like really anti-deer. I thought I really know about it. I wanted to eradicate, like wanted to eradicate deer off the planet because they carried deer ticks. Okay. Which give you lime disease, yeah.

Yeah. That's a really long, no about it. He wanted to know about it. He'd hate deer. It sounds like he's out of touch. Oh. Out of time. I think we're the ones out of time.

Yeah, that's true. Let's see what some guesses are for this name because we're going to get it before this mug comes out if the mug is coming out. Where the hell's our mug? Tony messaged me the other day and he's like, we're doing it. We're getting on with it.

We got to, we'll figure it out. But I think the mug is, I think the mug is, I think the mug is happening. We just have to wait because it is, I think what we're asking for isn't as easy as just going, hey, make this. Lane? Yeah, annoying me always, that's from Chester Chivo.

That's a good one, but no. Audience mad again, I see you only. That's a good one, but no. Audience mad again, I see you only. That's a good one too, no. And more again, from Atomics. That's very dream logic, but no. I, it's not a hint, but I like the way that person thinks. That's finally like some nonsense in there. I think nonsense is probably the thing

that is probably in there. I think nonsense is probably the thing that is probably in there. Another Monday, Americano. Oh, that would be good, because I do always order an Americano. Uh huh. No. Gus, anything that's jumping out at you is... Is the first word, Anth? Do you really want me to say?

No. No. I hadn't considered that. I also hadn't really thought about that. What was one that the the Gus like that was dream logic? And more anything or something like that? Yeah, how about and me again? No, man. Man, I'm fucking stumped. I can't wait for this goddamn mug to come out of.

You need a mug. Yeah, you need a mug to help you out. We're going to get it. Speaking of hospitals, a little star flight audio texture there. Oh yeah. Another memoir, Austin, but we know Austin is not in the name, right? Correct.

And having, that was a big, that was a big. It's a revelation. Yeah. The book of Gus Rape. Animal meat audio. No. And I'm thinking of the Muppet Animal. Yeah. You know, a think it's a muppet animal. Yeah.

You know, a direction I thought we were going to go with this episode, and then we didn't. We zagged instead of zgged. We started talking about Grey's Anatomy and Television shows. Yeah. Something maybe we should do in a future episode is talk about Austin as it appears in the public. Oh, that's such a good idea. Like TV shows that have been filmed in Austin or that appear in like the office at the end fucking everybody moved to Austin.

Oh, right. Even I never saw it. I just heard about it. Right, right. The leftovers. The leftovers. I never saw that, but God, that's such a good show. Yeah.

I think you have to suffer some blows for it. And then it like really started. It's only three seasons. I mean, it's amazing. Really. It's only three seasons. I mean, it's amazing. Really, it's so good. Last of us, right? Yeah, we're in Austin for some time. You guys did that video where like you tried

to drive around and find it, right? Yeah. You tried to find the last of us? Yeah, the opening. They tried to find the first of the last of us. That's a good show. That whole area is very different. Oh, they did it for the show.

They did it for the first time. I've never played the game before. You shouldn't. But when I'm in, man, is it for the show. They did it for the first time. I've never played the game before. You shouldn't. But man, is it a good show? It's the same reason why Sean couldn't, he tried, like, had a real hard time at stuff because at the beginning, it's real hard dad stuff. And then the rest of the game is him becoming a dad again and doing hard dad stuff. And Sean went, I don't know.

It's so good. It's a great video game, very good show. I will say the show I think is better. I feel like the game was great, but I think they went through and they were like, let's polish out some of the rough spots or let's further flesh out some things that we couldn't get around to in the game and the show benefits from that.

Answer this for me, because when I watch the show, I get the impression that it is, I mean, it's clearly not a zombie show. Right. It's not about zombies. It's about like, it's about the horrors that humans do to each other. Yeah. And the zombies are just like in the annoyance of the game.

The game is similar. The game is similar. Yeah, I wonder if that was the thing. Yeah, yeah. The game is definitely like that. I think this is, I think they used video games to be able to tell their story, but it was not the medium they should have told the story and because now they have the proper medium

to tell their story and convey their emotion and have an actual like whole front and back to it that like they figured it out. I think it's cool that it started as a video game, but I think the worst thing about the show is the video game elements where, oh my God, the standoff is so tense, this is fucking crazy.

What's gonna happen to all these characters that I love? Oh my God, a big monster. That is the worst thing about this show and you can't fault it because that is what it is. And you're like, oh, here's the platforming. That's it. And how come these parts are painted yellow so I know where to go?

Here's the stuff. Here's the stealth portion. Oh my God. What's funny to me is the last night's episode. I'm only saying that the stuff is not fun. Nope, nope, nope, no spoiler here. Last night's episode is almost entirely flashback because it was the DLC for the game.

It's the DLC. It's all the DLC. It's like what you played later that fleshed out when the flashback stuff. When I heard that's what it was, I was talking to a friend and I went, okay, so somebody is going to get captured or bumped on the head or knocked out or taken away and it's going to be all flashback to remember the DLC. And then the show came out and I went, remember the DLC and then the show came out and I went remember the DLC. I'll tell you one thing that I like about it so far is I have no idea where it's going.

Oh really? I only think I knew about last of us was there's zombies called clickers, which I know now because I see the show and I had heard that phrase before, but that's really all I knew. That's cool. Then you're in for it. And so I have no, I have a thing happened at the end of episode five. And Emily was like, well, that's not the, I'm not gonna spoil it if you haven't seen it, but Emily was like, that's not, is that character dying?

And I was like, it was episode six. Was it six? And I was like, I honestly don't know. I really don't, I have no clue. It's a, it's good. It's the right medium to tell that story. And also, a page of a scout just kind of doesn't miss in anything. Also watching him do a Troy Baker voice is very funny.

He's just like a Spanish dude doing a Troy Baker voice is very funny. Did you see, did you see the Nicholas Cage movie? No, I didn't watch it. He's in that. Yeah, he's, he's fantastic at everything. And the other side, he does not miss. Not like, he is just hit after hit after hit But yeah, that Nicholas kid the unbearable Way to pass the town. Yeah, he's really good in there. That's a really good movie. He's an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Yeah, he's been around for a really long time. Yeah, he has he's been around for a very very long time He said baby Yoda so I hear I haven't seen that show. Oh baby yoga come back due season Well, that's and that girl and the girl pays Ellie she was in her red itary, right? What no she was in Game of Thrones game of Thrones. That's what I was thinking. Yeah, she was awesome in Game of Thrones Yeah, when I heard that that's who they cast. I was very excited. She's killing so cool She's yeah every scene with her in Game of Thrones. I'm like this rules. She's awesome She's doing a fucking great. Yeah, Really good actress. Yes, yeah, yeah. It's got to be hard to act against Pedro Pascal.

And I feel like Pedro Pascal's playing that character very much like Joel in the video games. Yes. I think Bella Ramsey's has a slightly different take on Elle than what you get in the game. It's less of a snarky kind of, she just has, I don't know, there's like a demeanor that she has that I think is very cool. I like it, she doing a great job.

And what guests we will have on as we had many conversations about it in the car today. So hopefully we can get some more guests on this season and we don't get freesed out. Yeah, hopefully.

Yeah, well, we'll see. Fingers crossed. Yeah, we should cover it at some point. The last canonical episode we joked about I shutting the city down. And then it did. And then it happened. And then it did.

The third of the city lost power. I will say the reason we haven't covered it on this show is because it was about three weeks ago and it's 80 degrees today. Yeah, it is hot. I want to get back in my car. You know what's funny about that? Is the fucking I shut the city down.

And all I could, and I used fucking Michigan as an example of like, see this is why I want them to Michigan. I was just there. It's fucking freezing. There's snow everywhere and business is usual. People are driving and going fine. It's going to be real. And then ice hit Detroit and they still don't have power.

There you go. Welcome to infrastructure. There is no escape from American infrastructure. Nope, you just have to move somewhere where it doesn't happen. It's fine. Like not America. Yeah, we go to Mexico, we go to Kankoon. Hell yeah.

See a graph, we're protected by Falcon. Protected by Falcons. Protected by Falcons. What do you think is better, Gus? Protected by Falcon or protected by Falcons. Now, let me pause at this, protected by A Falcon. Or protected by A Falcon. Protected by Falcon.

Okay, protected by Falcon. It sounds Protected by falcon. Okay. Protected by falcon. It sounds best, right? Okay, cool. And we'll do that. But what the fear is, we're making for the other podcast face, we're making yard signs, like a 80-DESC. And we're afraid that if it says protected by falcon,

it looks like, like I'm curious. Yeah, we want it to be like, like literally, this house was protected by falcons, or A falcon. Yeah. And so, but I think protected by falcon sounds better. Yeah, it want it to be like literally this house was protected by falcons or afelkin Yeah, and so but I think protected by falcons sounds better. Yeah, it's just it's a it's a it gets a little jumbled in the side Here's here's longs you don't have a logo. No, no, there's there's a logo and it's a falcon. Okay, that's fine See and now here's here's my thinking Protected by falcon makes you go Is that a company? What is that? Yeah protected by falcons or protected by afelkin makes you look at it and then look up into the sky.

That's what we want. I'm gonna read the sign and go. I'm thinking of those roadside signs, I say like speed monitored by aircraft. Yeah, yeah. Something like, yeah, but not by an aircraft, but it could be multiple aircraft. Much to consider.

From a word smithing standpoint, it's clearly protected by falcons. Yeah, I think that sounds better. But it needs to multiple aircraft. Yeah, much to consider from a wordsmithing standpoint. It's clearly protected by Falcon. Yeah, I think that sounds better but for clarity, it needs to be a falcon. I think so. I do. I also think a falcon is funny to have somebody walk up to it in your yard and then immediately look up into the sky immediately.

A falcon. There you go. Yeah. Well, there you go. Any parting words for the folks at home? Don't get iced over. Okay. Yeah, stay away from ice. Great. Nice coffee. I read you. Describe the show to a newcomer and a more familiar way. Do you like apples?
