This is a Rooster Teeth production. partially is Imhotep a bad guy to Nick? And then Jeff joined in. And they brought up some points that I feel like are probably fair.
And I'm not saying that he isn't a bad guy.
I just don't remember what his plans were
beyond saving his girlfriend.
Nick said that he killed a lot of people.
And I was like, he killed six people.
That's really not that many
in the grand scheme of evil movie villains.
Six is a lot.
You know what, though?
I'd love to know.
He did a lot, a lot of property damage with those storms. You know what though? You know what though? I'd love to know. He did a lot,
a lot of property damage
with those storms.
Those sandstorms?
Millions of dollars
of property damage.
You cannot do,
like you can't make that point
while the Marvel movies exist
and the Avengers,
like that.
Different universes.
Six people is tremendously bad still. There's not a lot worse than killing six people
no it's terrible that were displaced he may have displaced 10 000 people from their homes
how many people are going to die over of disease and malnutrition over the course of the next
decade because their livelihoods got destroyed because of his nonsense. You have to think about the after effects.
Terminator, he comes up and he'll kill 70, 80 people and then he's out.
A guy like Imhotep comes up, he may kill six people today, but he might kill 100,000 people over the course of the next fucking 10 years.
He was also trying to raise an army of dogs at one point, which I'm sure would have killed quite a lot of people.
He was just a big dog guy.
He knew where the internet was headed. He wanted to get ahead of the curve he wanted the dogs tell jeff
what you said about emotep earlier what did i say about emotep earlier he said oh it's the john
emotep is the john wick of egypt like he was just minding his own business. He was dead. And then some people came in and woke him up, stole his shit.
And then he specifically kills those people to get his body back.
John Wick wasn't trying to resurrect corpses.
No, but John Wick was a guy who was living his life.
And then some fucking idiots came in and killed his dog and brought him back into the game.
Here's the difference.
He went and wanted to get revenge
he didn't like you know what he could have he could have tried to resurrect that dog from the
dead but he chose not to he chose not to go down the supernatural evil route and instead he enacted
completely believable revenge i understand it's not one-to-one but my point is that these were
both people that were just living their lives and then were thrust into the story of what happened by others i feel like most most movies start with
something happening to a character there's no i'm not you're taking such the wrong point from this
not every movie starts with somebody doing something to that character. There are movies where people are like,
I'm gonna fucking solve this. I'm gonna
do this. Like, there's a point where they're...
I actually have one that I think is
in similar vein to what you're saying that has
always stuck out to me. Okay. Did you guys
ever watch the TV show
The Walking Dead? Yes.
Do you remember the whole
Negan season? I do.
Where he was like the big, bad, evil guy.
He had the baseball bat named, I don't know, Nadine or Geraldine or something, Francine.
I think it was Francine.
Yes, it was the comedian.
It was Negan, Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Yeah, the comedian from Watchmen.
Anyway, he's like the bad guy, wears a leather jacket, fucking kills people left and right.
He was on Howard Stern once, and Howard was asking him like how do you prepare for a role of being
such an evil bad guy and he looked at howard and he was like i uh i don't think i'm a bad guy
and howard's like what he goes i'm serious i i am living a life with my people trying to keep my
people alive and this goddamn rick and his buddies keep showing up and stealing our stuff and killing
people and raiding us so So we're just defending ourselves.
And then, you know, I don't want to be pushed around.
So if somebody's going to come and fuck with me, I'm going to fuck with them twice as hard.
I'm the protagonist of my story.
They're the bad guys.
And that really made me sit and think for a while.
I feel like every actor who plays a villain says that.
I feel like that's universal of like I'm playing actually to play this villainous character.
I need to somehow convince myself that they are the hero of the story yeah you know who is the other
if if jeffrey dean morgan turned down deegan do you know who's gonna get it it was second no he
had the job for 20 minutes apparently and then jeffrey dean morgan was like no i want to do it
so he got it matthew lillard would have been oh i'm I'm not even kidding. He would have played it like a 90s psycho.
He did like three auditions for it, I think.
And they're like, yeah, if he would have said no, you would have been Negan.
And I can't imagine what that would have looked like, but I would like to see it.
It's just so odd.
I wouldn't.
The last time I saw Matthew Lillard, the last time I saw Matthew Lillard would have been
around the same time period with that Twin Peaks reboot.
Or not reboot, sorry, but the new Twin Peaks season.
And I can't imagine that guy in Twin Peaks being scary.
Or intimidating.
I mean, he was the bad guy in Scream.
Yeah.
He was, yeah.
Sort of.
One of, yeah.
So it's not like out of character to play a psychopath.
But the vibe is so different, Negan,
to who he played in Scream and who he typically plays.
He just sort of plays like an idiot in Scream.
You never really get into his motivations for it.
He's just kind of a guy.
Where Negan is intimidating physically in a different way.
Yeah, Matthew Lillard is net,
except for maybe Twin Peaks.
He's net.
Well,
even then he's never not silly.
You know what I mean?
Hmm.
It's hard to take him seriously.
I'm trying to,
he's got that,
he's got that like natural humor about him.
The descendants.
That's the only role I can think of where he's not.
He's just a guy that is cheating with George Clooney's wife.
We're a Matthewthew lidlet podcast
are we said is this oh my god what episode is this 83 oh so interesting this is 82 according
to nick do you guys know the significance of episode 82 i just i just realized it yesterday
no uh no episode 82 we missed we missed a bit of a milestone.
Episode 82 is, I believe, the second episode of season three of F*** Face.
We had a season shift?
No, we don't.
No, that's not how it works.
Yeah, it is how it works.
Season one ended at episode 40.
Season two began at episode 41, which would mean that season 2 ended at episode 80 and season
2 began at 81 I'm gonna challenge
this I feel like this season
extends to the end of the redemption year
I feel like this season I feel like
at the time the conversation
was related to well if we're gonna
wait for full redemption season 2 is gonna go on forever
well season 1 is always
shorter than season 2 there is an
argument so this is i think
what started this conversation was looking at seasons on disney plus and how nonsensical it is
we're like season one will be 72 episodes of duck tales and season two will be 16 like i don't think
we need to follow a specific or so what you're saying is that we're two episodes longer than
season one at this point i'll tell you i'll tell you what i'm saying is that we're two episodes longer than season one at this point
i'll tell you what i'll tell you what i'm saying because i agree with you we i i think there's
something to that let's then just say because it makes no sense whatsoever which is very
facey of us that this is the first episode of season three year two okay okay but still so
the redemption year goes across multiple seasons that's it's not a redemption
season gavin it's a redemption year yeah that's fine i'm just clarifying season's not a year and
a year is not a season if face was a tv series and it was structured this way i would hate it
i would hate watching face in their season format it'd be horrendous it'd make no sense
it'd be terrible i'd like to play a clip.
Just, you know, while we're doing some housekeeping, talking about the show.
Whatever Gavin says, I would like to play a clip.
I'm terrified, probably because 80% of the time it's been related to me.
I don't know if you feel the same way, Jeff, but it is intimidating.
Whenever Gavin says, I'm going to play a clip.
Do I feel intimidated that 80% of the time it's making fun of you? No.
No, but I'm just saying, well, I feel like
I misspelled something, probably.
I feel like last week,
this was two weeks ago,
Jeff made a joke during a discussion
about the number 80.
And then I feel like, I didn't really hear
it at the time, I feel like Andrew never understood
that it was a joke and just
carried on the conversation. See if this makes any sense to you, Andrew. I think there is. We just need was a joke and just carried on the conversation.
See if this makes any sense to you, Andrew.
Okay.
I think there is.
We just need to sit down and figure it out.
We're approaching a number of episodes that no one can pitch in baseball.
That's true.
I think.
What's the fastest pitch recorded?
It's probably in like over 100.
I think I want to say 102.
Really?
I was thinking I was going to guess like 110 would be my guess.
No, I don't think that high.
Has anyone thrown one in a vacuum?
What do you mean?
Like, has anyone thrown one in a vacuum cleaner?
I don't understand, like, why?
Why would they have done that?
Well, so there's no air resistance, so you can throw it real fast.
Oh, okay.
I feel like you took some leaps
there i wasn't i wasn't with you i was lost i was thinking about i've never seen someone throw
a vacuum there was a guy who got like what do you think we're talking okay no no i know no no no i
have an answer for that i have an answer for that i remember that moment distinctly i was lost i was
confused by what you were saying from the jump as soon as you said like
i didn't know where you're going from vacuum like i didn't expect a literal vacuum i didn't
understand the point you were trying to make from the beginning so as somebody who didn't understand
what was going on i was just like i'm gonna play along with whatever because i don't know what the
road is i don't see where we're headed Because I feel like you came away from that conversation either thinking that we were throwing a baseball
at a vacuum cleaner or throwing a vacuum cleaner,
and I couldn't figure out what you'd taken away from it.
No, I didn't take anything away from any of it.
I was just playing into whatever was being said.
I understood that you didn't literally need a vacuum.
I tell you where this is going.
This is going to our new...
I'm excited about this. This is going to our new i'm excited about this this is
going to our new sporting event that we're going to start it's not the olympics it's not track and
field it's vac and field we're gonna throw vacuum cleaners like we're throwing a discus and see you
can throw it the farthest and then we're gonna throw shit at vacuum cleaners and see who's the
most accurate and then we'll come up with some other vacuum field activities
this is gonna be awesome
I thought you were going a different way I thought baseball
with only vacuums like you
everybody who's pitching
that's what's part of it
okay that's perfect vacuum field
I can't wait 2022 okay so you
were just sort of going with the flow
I was totally going with the flow because I didn't
necessarily understand your original
point.
So it's just like wherever we go, I'm just going to buy into it.
And I remember saying at the time or thinking at the time while I was saying it like I don't
I know we're not talking about actual vacuums, but I don't know what else to do here.
So I'm just going to keep talking.
Let me ask another question to that answer.
How often would you say that happens to you through the recording of this podcast?
You know, it depends.
Not often.
Do you think you follow 70% of what's happening?
Oh, definitely.
Yeah.
I follow a lot more than it appears.
I wish I could say it was less.
It would explain some of my responses better.
But I have to just own up to that.
The fact I am listening 90% of the time.
90, my ass.
No, I'll get lost sometimes.
I would say you're listening 80% and you're comprehending 50%.
The guy that interrupts me every fucking six minutes is going to come at me for listening.
Once again, it's outrageous.
How dare you?
Outrageous.
I take this from Jeff. I'm not taking it from you you are so full of
shit with listening you think i don't listen well you could you talk over me 80 so either
there's two options gavin i either need to believe you're not listening or you care so little about
what i'm saying most of the time that you just decide that whatever you're saying is more
important so i'm gonna choose that you're not listening i will say if we were in the same room i wouldn't interrupt
you as much it's mainly a discord thing an internet thing i it i've got bad internet you do
but that's less fun can i donate some money or something to help you get better internet
is that possible can we do that i feel like that's a thing that can be done.
How do we improve your internet?
Anything else you need improved, Gavin?
Do we stop at internet?
What else do you need?
Do you need a new blender?
Do you need an appliance?
What's deficient in your life?
A vacuum?
What are you lacking?
I need a new Swiffer.
I'll just say that right now.
That's something I need. Product I'm lacking. You need a Swiffer? What I'll just say that right now. I need, that's something I need.
Product I'm lacking.
You need a Swiffer? What do you need to Swiff?
My wall.
Back of my wall.
I guess I don't need a Swiffer for that.
I dropped another,
I've had such a bad run of dropping things
since we've last,
it just keeps happening.
So, someone went on your wall?
I probably shouldn't have,
I should have led to that later for the story, the best version of the story.
Are we in the middle of a story?
You were sort of at the end of the funniest part of the story.
I dropped a milkshake.
Let's just pretend that part didn't happen.
Okay, we're just going to pretend it didn't.
So I bought a milkshake.
I got food over the weekend, last weekend.
Oh, that's good.
It's always good to get food. Someday. So I had a milkshake, which I've the weekend last weekend oh that's good it's always good to
get some day yeah so i had a milkshake which i've never had we've gone over i've never experienced
a milkshake and i was like okay wait i'm gonna have you started in the middle of the story you
went back to the beginning but started i feel like a little bit too early by saying you bought
some food at the weekend like that's a given you could go straight to no no i think it's different i
think contextually it's important because if you it's a different i feel like it's more painful if
i physically went to a place got it then brought it i i only ordered food had it delivered made it
to my door walking up the stairs i get to my, I drop it and it hits at an angle where it explodes on impact and it goes it covers the door.
It's once again, it's Jeff smoothie problem.
It's like the fourth time this has happened to me recently all over the door, over the wall, on the floor and like just I didn't end up drinking any of it.
I cleaned it.
I'm laying in bed the next day and I look up and I have Oreo on my wall.
I didn't realize how far it exploded.
I have pieces of Oreo all over my back wall.
Cleaned up most of it.
Some of it is so high up.
I would love to have a Swiffer.
Use the stick.
Is this the one, because you dropped one recently, didn't you,
that was made a lot worse by you picking it up or something?
Oh, that was the Burger King soda.
Well, this was a Burger King milkshake. If I i order burger king i am dropping the drink that's with it and it is
going everywhere this hasn't okay this on sunday i ordered food again i ordered food for a different
two days in a row you ate okay no i think it was like middle of the week. The days don't matter. The point is, the next time I ordered food,
the next time I ordered food,
I ordered Japanese food.
And I was very excited about it.
It was great.
But I'm nervous because I keep dropping shit.
So I'm like, fuck.
This is a terrifying existence I'm in.
So I get my sushi.
I order sushi.
And that's it. It's hard to fuck up sushi. I order sushi, and that's it.
It's hard to fuck up sushi.
I have sushi.
It's in a bag.
Why'd you order it with a question mark?
Because I was trying to think if I ordered other things, and I didn't.
That was me trying to process.
I ordered sushi.
I get my sushi.
I walk it all the way up to my room.
I place it on my bed to remove it from the bag.
I sit at my desk chair, turn around, go to grab it from the bag i sit at my desk chair turn around go to grab it from the bag
the bag the container the container fucking opens not even all the way it partially opens
all of the sushi falls out all of it i got it to my room on the bed i'm lifting it out of the bag
on the bed i had a bag of fucking sushi it was just a sushi bag
it was the saddest thing i've ever seen
it was it was truly terrible it was sad i had like four rolls on my bed and then the rest all
went to a bag and the lid didn't even fully pop off. And I just sat there. I just sat there dejected saying,
how?
How did this happen?
How did this happen?
Did you still eat them?
Oh, I absolutely did.
That's what the box looked like.
They all slid out the bottom.
They just all slid
as soon as I was lifting it out of the bag.
What's the green shit?
Is that avocado?
Wasabi, right?
That's wasabi.
That's so much wasabi.
There is a lot of wasabi
i have a feeling that's i have a feeling it's less than there was gavin
but it got everywhere it's just all over the place i've never been so sad and i refuse to
put it back in the container so yeah i ate the sushi out of a bag i ate bagged sushi and it was
depressing on a different level you can at least put it on a plate so you know i know i was so it was like a punishment for myself because i keep dropping things of like you
just don't deserve good things you get bagged sushi that bottom picture there that's like a
banana skin for you yeah it is yeah it was it was terrible oh man that's my life dropping stuff can
i throw a sad food thing in?
It's not even a real story.
I got nothing to talk about this week.
Pretty much.
Gavin, a couple last week, I went to
what's quickly becoming
one of my favorite restaurants in Austin.
I mention it to you because I know you like it a lot too.
It's a place called Dip Dip Dip.
They make a
really nice I forget. It's like fancy hot pot kind of right and uh shabu shabu
shabu shabu yeah there you go it's fucking awesome and i've fallen in love with it and i eat there a
bunch now eat there all the time we went there last week and uh we're sitting down and we're
looking at the menu and they come over and they're giving you the daily specials and i'm like i'm
already pretty sure i know what i want to get there because I have like
a routine that I'm into.
And then she's like, what would you like to hear the specials?
And I'm like, I guess.
And then so she leads up.
She leads up specials.
The last special.
She goes, and then we have the most amazing two week smoked.
And then she said the fucking P word.
And I almost threw up on my neck.
And all I could think about, all i could think about all i
could think about for the rest of the goddamn meal was that two week old smoked p-word was somewhere
in the building with me like we were coexisting in the same space and people around me were probably
eating it and it took everything i had to enjoy the evening because i was like i it was like there
was a giant p-word sandwich just on my shoulder looking over me and I was like it was like there was a giant P word sandwich just on my shoulder looking
over me and it was always terrifying
that I bet it was delicious too
because everything is good that yeah I'm sure
it was delicious I just
like how how
far it has fallen for you knowing
how excited that would have happened to you
like eight days prior or however
many days before your colonoscopy
that would have been a dream.
Dude,
it would be like if baseball cards gave me cancer or something,
you know,
it's like I discovered it and I fell in love with it hard and fast.
And I immersed my fully immersed myself in the,
in the P word world.
And I really,
I just embraced it.
I was like eschewing it.
I was going on other podcasts to espouse the virtues of P-Word.
I was so fucking into it.
And then I got the rug pulled out from under me so hard and so fast.
I'm still spinning.
It sucks.
I've been meaning to ask, and thank you for bringing this up.
It reminded me.
I was curious if you have begun a journey for a new thing to replace that.
Maybe in the deli world.
Like, are you just sort of in a place of sadness right now of like processing your loss?
I'll be honest.
I'm kind of lost in the woods right now.
Just in general.
It's been a rough couple weeks.
And yeah, I'm just I mean, I'm not I don't have the energy to search for a new passion
right now, to be honest with you.
And I bet just old deli mates is similar looking.
Yeah, that's probably guilty by association right yeah um i you talked about dropping shit this
fucking morning i had a sequence of events i wanted to i wanted to smash my head through a
fucking brick wall today i was so frustrated i got up this morning and i do my morning routine
which is a whole you know it's is the feed the kid, the dogs,
the poops, the peas, the get ready, make the lunches, make coffee, the whole thing.
And it's fine.
I'm a morning person.
I'm into it.
It's cool.
And then Millie was kind of dragging today a little bit, which is fine because we have
a 30-minute window.
She likes to get to school a little early to visit with her friends.
And so it's not the end of the world.
But at 10 a.m., I had an appointment
to get a bunch of x-rays on my body
so that we can figure out
why I can't sit anymore.
And if I can,
and if I will ever, ever
be able to ride a bicycle again,
because we're going on about a month now
that I haven't gotten any activity
or physical exercise.
And so I'm like,
I'm looking at my watch.
I'm like, that's not,
no, I'll just,
I'm trying to think of like, I go to a coffee shop for like 20 minutes kill some time and then i'll head over because
i've got this weird window uh where it doesn't make sense to come home or whatever and then i
get my phone text i get a text and i look and it's the appointment people saying hey asshole your
appointment's at nine it's not a 10 it's at nine and i'm like fuck so i like have to run grab billy
and run out the door and like drive like
haul ass to high school throw her at the school and then i look at the back of the sheet it has
the address because there's like two central locations because it's like it's like 30 places
you can go on the back of the sheet and you just you know i schedule the one close to me with of
which there's two so i drive in it's like a hospital thing. So I got to go in. I got to go through the ticket counter, get a ticket, find a parking space, run through
a thing, go over like a bridge, you know, through another structure to get in there
to the x-ray place.
And I hand them my paper and they go, hey, asshole, you're at the wrong place.
And I'm like, what?
And they're like, no, you are.
The place you are is two blocks away.
And I'm like, motherfucker.
In my haste, I was freaking out.
I picked the wrong goddamn x-ray store, right?
So then I grab everything and I run.
I get back in my car.
I fucking have to pay to get out of the parking garage
to go to the other place, to the new x-ray store, right?
To buy x-rays or whatever.
And I fucking go.
And I go all the way through.
This one's in a parking garage,
so I gotta go like
to fucking,
to the fucking fifth floor.
I finally get there,
I have one minute,
and I'm like,
I'm gonna fucking make this.
I grab my phone,
I open my door,
I run out,
I slam my door,
I turn towards the elevator,
and I throw my fucking phone
across the parking lot,
and I smash my phone.
My brand new iPhone 26, or whatever it is. Yeah, what's the new one?
13, 14, 62.
I got an iPhone 19
and it's smashed.
I'm so fucking annoyed.
So mad at myself.
That's still so new.
I know. Yeah, it feels real weird
to have a busted up spider-veined screen phone right now.
All because you went
to the wrong x-ray store.
How unfortunate.
If only you went to the right one.
Well, at the end of the day,
it's all because I misremembered
my appointment time, but yeah.
But you made it on time.
I did make it on time
and I got the x-rays
and hopefully we'll find out
which of the big three I have.
I went to a doctor yesterday because I don't know if we covered this last week,
but I think we might have.
Just the intense amount of pain I'm in, I've been in.
I don't remember.
I don't think.
Did I not even mention it?
I don't think you've talked about that.
I haven't talked about it.
Well, I talked about how I started, my butt started to hurt riding the bike.
Yes.
And so I started to wear those shorts, right?
And then I told the story about how I put my pants on over the shorts and I went to
the grocery store.
And then I realized when the lady gave me the dirty look, I had a dumpy butt.
Yeah.
I'm like, my butt was like folded in half.
It was weird.
Anyway.
So eventually the shorts didn't work.
Like the pain was too much that I just had to stop riding my bike altogether.
Uh, and that was fine, except the pain followed me.
And then it got worse and worse.
And then for about four days,
week before last or last week, somewhere in there,
I couldn't sit.
Like if I sat down, the pain was so intense,
it made me, like I would cry.
And I'm a very manly, non-cry type person.
So that was, you can tell.
So I could only stand or I could only lay down.
And I was just in an incredible amount of pain.
And so I went to the doctor.
I scheduled an appointment,
and I went to the doctor yesterday,
and he looked me over and, you know,
he ordered the x-rays,
and he said that it's either tendonitis,
bursitis, or arthritis, but it's definitely an itis. And I'm like, okay, well,
what do we do? And he's like, well, you're too young for arthritis. And I said, let me stop you
there. Let me tell you about my shoulder. And he goes, nah, you don't have arthritis. And I go,
I have a lot of arthritis on my shoulder. And he's like, how do you know? And I go, well,
I got an MRI. And he goes, oh, you do have arthritis. And I go, yeah. And he goes, well,
it could be that. And I go go so what do we do for these three
things and he goes well if it's tendonitis you know we'll put you on a treatment regimen you'll
do a significant amount of physical therapy and then you'll be on your way if it's bursitis we'll
put you on a different treatment regimen you'll do a tremendous amount of uh uh physical therapy
and then you'll be on your way and if it's arthritis uh there's not much treatment we can do but you'll do a tremendous amount of physical therapy and be on your way so no matter
what i'm about to go through another god knows how long of fucking physical therapy and i'm really
jazzed about having another appointment every week do you think it's just for good at this point
yeah just constant maintenance i well yeah i honestly I do. I mean, yeah, I think so. I think once you get to
the advanced age of 46 or so, yeah, I think that your life becomes about managing
medical appointments and stuff. It sucks. I need to live more in the moment. I need to appreciate
my, my fine body right now. Yeah. And I, I'll be honest with you. you, and I say this without any ill feelings,
but I don't think you'll age as well.
I think it's going to be hard on you.
Why is that?
I think your body is going to have a tough time.
Really?
I don't know.
Just something about you.
Yeah.
And I don't mean that to poke fun.
You know, I'm afraid for you a little bit.
Well, you heard it here first. I want you to know I i'm afraid for you a little bit well you heard it
here first i i want you to know i will be here for you i'm your friend that might be the worst
thing a friend has ever said to me what then i'll be here for you i'll wheel you around dude i'm
fucking don't worry about it what's gonna happen to me i i don't know but i'll i don't know but
it will if you need like you need me to wipe your
face after stuff, you know, because you can't or you need me to put like tighten the blanket
around your legs in the chair or whatever.
I can do that.
I'm going to be there for you.
I'm just trying to like evaluating this for Gavin.
I think a question he should be asking you, Jeff, is there anything you miss that you
could do before physically that you no longer can riding bikes?
I haven't ridden my bike in almost a month.
I want to ride a bike so badly.
I bet I'm going to get injured riding a bike
because I'm trying to use up
all of the fine bike time I have left too soon.
I'm going to be like strutting around on a bike
because I can and it's going to cause me
to not be able to ride bikes anymore.
It's a delicate balance for sure.
And it sucks too. Also, don't
tie your coping
mechanism. Here's a piece of real advice.
Don't tie your coping mechanisms
to physical shit that's going to
break down later in life. Because
as we all know, I was
a tremendous alcoholic for
20-something years and I'm now
almost five years sober,
so that no problems there. But, uh, I, uh, I, when I stopped drinking and realized I had to
actually process and deal with emotions and pain, uh, part of the way I was able to do that was
with this stupid bicycle, you know, riding my bike. People, people say like, there's no way
he's riding 20 miles a week or 20 miles a day or whatever. And even on any bike. And I'm like, no,
he, I really do have that much shit to work out you know work through and uh losing that ability
i didn't i realized i have been on edge for like the entire month i got so bad yesterday i had to
go to the park and i i sat in the park and on a park bench and i just cried for like like maybe
30 minutes because i didn't
know how to process i didn't i just sat there and thought about alcohol which i don't ever do
and bike riding and just how sad i was that there was like no way for me to like work through this
and you know and i was working through it in the moment but so so my real advice to you would be
like don't tie your coping mechanisms to to wheels because when the wheels break or you break then you lose your coping mechanism and then you gotta find a park and
that's embarrassing free to always text me by the way if you need your mind taken off something or
if you don't want to cry in a park i'm always here for you here's the deal though and i appreciate
that but if i were to text you either of you there'd be a 50 chance i wouldn't get a response
and that would make it worse look look look if you text saying hey you want to do x that's a response if you if you if it's
wednesday morning and you you say boy do i have a story for tomorrow yeah i can see why you get
there's a there's a park bench that's very conciliatory in zilker park that has been
there for me a lot lately.
I'm good with the park pinch,
but thank you. I think we should start one-wheeling around.
I've been going on your path on one-wheel. I've been going over, I've been going
by your jump every day. Haven't yet
taken it on on the one-wheel, because I'll die.
It's a nice, graceful
path. It's very peaceful.
And you don't have to sit. If I'm ever able
to move my body in that
way again, I will.
I can't imagine the pain that would be caused from falling off a one wheel right now.
But, you know, listen, within 24 hours, I'm going to get a diagnosis and then I'll know what's wrong with me.
And then I can work towards getting better.
And then I'll get back on.
I'll ride that bike again someday.
God damn it.
I will.
I'm not worried about that.
Yes.
Anyway, all I had today was uh
was the fact that i smashed my phone out of stupidity and that uh it's season three now
i thought what's that what's up andrew you're gonna say i was just gonna say something but i
don't know if you're gonna lead it i had jeff just reminded me of a thing that i didn't write down
to talk about uh is that what you're also going to talk about?
Gavin texted me late on Thursday night.
What did he text me? He texted me something along the lines of,
and I don't know if you have it, you can read it.
I just was horrified by a turkey sandwich
was essentially the core of the message.
And I looked at it and in a Jeff-like fashion,
I thought, do I want to know what this is?
Is this for the show? Should I ask? Like I thought do I want to know what this is is this is this for
the show should I ask like obviously
I'd like to know but it feels
like a show thing I think what I text you was
I just got one of the biggest frights
of my life from a turkey sandwich
yes so I didn't
reply to it that night but then I remembered
replying to it the next day
and then I never heard back from Gavin
as I must have been
busy i know that game yeah but then i got i got a text on a different day like four days later
three days later and i just didn't send the message i just wrote it and then i never hit
sent i just i missed it but i've been waiting i've been like it's weird didn't it was me and
then so something else was asked completely irrelated not not really irrelated that's not a word i'm not gonna
i'm not gonna get an irregardless on that regardless that was just me fucking up that
was me but i just fucked up i didn't get it but i i want to know you asked me to guess i couldn't
think of a way that a turkey sandwich can horrify anyone do you have any immediate thoughts it was
more extreme than i i thought i was gonna die you thought you're gonna die yeah yeah for a split second but it
was a turkey sandwich i have no fucking clue is like maybe it was moldy turkey or i bet i could
put this out there to the public for a year. No one, I 100% guarantee,
no one would ever come up with this scenario
because it makes absolutely no sense.
Should I run you through it?
I'd love it.
Please.
Do you want to preview the end of the story first,
like in milkshake fashion,
or are you just going to start at the beginning?
I'll start at the beginning.
It was so embarrassing.
I was on a plane,
and I think my subconscious had just been slightly affected
by the fact that I saw this on my phone,
just on the home screen of my phone.
On the weather app, it said,
small aircraft advisory.
And I thought, well, that probably has something to do with, you know, if you're in a small aircraft advisory and I thought that probably has something to do with
if you're in a small aircraft
maybe visibility is shit
or something to do with that.
But in my head I was thinking
I think I was dozing off
I was thinking like, oh does that mean
there's a shitload of small planes around?
Like our plane
is going to have to dodge a bunch of
small planes
there was like one percent of my brain that thought that's what it meant there's a swarm
of small planes that's yeah the rest of my brain was like oh it's probably foggy or something and
as you can see by the screenshot i'm apparently over the north atlantic ocean i was then i decided
i'll just keep an eye out i'll look out the window
just make sure there's not like a swarm of planes
keeping an eye out how does that help are you like ready to yell at the like what is the plan
like i'm gonna be on guard guys like what why what is and i should point out i'd slept for about two hours the night
before so i was okay it's like you're on a plane and you're dumb because you're tired just one of
those days yeah and i was looking out the window and suddenly i got the fright of my life in my
peripheral vision i i saw what i thought was a plane hurtling into the side of our plane.
And then we post the picture.
All it was was the flight attendant sliding a turkey sandwich onto the plate,
onto the tray of the guy behind me.
But in my peripheral vision,
because it was under his light,
because it was under his light,
it just came like at the plane in the reflection and I jumped back and I was like,
but yeah, it was just perfectly because there was nothing on his tray.
There was like nothing lit up until the flight attendant aggressively slid a turkey sandwich,
which just caused a weird optical illusion.
And at that point I was just like,
I need to get some sleep.
My heart was beating like 100 beats a minute
for like two straight minutes.
Because I thought I was going to die.
It came out of nowhere, man.
It came flying out of nowhere.
Did you scream out loudly?
Yeah.
I was just like, bah!
Did anybody notice? I don't know. I was too embarrassed, bah! Did anybody notice?
I don't know.
I was too embarrassed to look around.
I don't think he needed to put the turkey sandwich there with such force.
It looked like he was coming in at like 200 miles an hour.
I would have asked him for his turkey sandwich.
That is now, that's like a collectible.
Instead of a UAP, you saw a UAT.
Do you think anyone would have guessed that?
I don't, I don't think, not only do I think nobody would have guessed that, I don't think
anyone in the history of the earth has ever mistaken a turkey sandwich for an airplane.
I'm notoriously bad with reflections did i tell you about the time where i got scared by someone because i
thought they were me i was walking into a hotel a glass door and i could see my reflection
in the glass and i and i got all the way to the door and I opened the door and
I realized it wasn't my reflection.
It was just a man on the inside of the hotel wearing the exact same colored shirt as me
and we were moving and putting our arms out at the exact same time.
He was mimicking me entirely.
And so when I opened the door and he was there, I just jumped out of my skin.
I don't deal with reflections well.
Oh, God.
Nick brought up Jack's going to have good luck.
He wrote good luck Jack figuring this out.
I cannot wait to hear Jack's teaser.
Boy, that seems to be going well still.
People seem to really be liking Minor League Jack's little previews.
We might have to be careful with that one because he could potentially
give the punchline to the joke
well I guess it's not well maybe he won't get it
I don't know
I don't think there's any way I can't wait to hear his take
on the turkey that'll be great
oh Nick's removed something so I think we're good
ooh okay
oh
well this is very food heavy.

terms apply oh uh hold on a second uh Hello and welcome to another episode of the F*** Face Podcast.
This is episode 82.
Uh, big surprise.
This is episode one of season three, year two of the F*** Face Podcast.
Congratulations, guys.
We made it into third, into the third season.
Let's hope we get renewed.
Anyway, you were saying?
If we want to take it away from food, I have a quick question for Andrew,
just because we were on the subject of movies.
Go ahead.
And I just thought this would be,
I think you would have an answer for this, maybe.
Okay.
What is the perfect escalation of a scenario
between the original movie and the sequel?
Like, where they are clearly paying homage
to their original movie,
but also trying to one-up it.
And I think I have the perfect answer.
I'd like to hear your answer first.
To get a better understanding of kind of where your head is at with this.
Yeah, I'm right there too.
The paint cans in Home Alone.
Funny in the first one.
They nail it.
They both take a paint can to the face.
The second one.
They're ready for the paint cans.
They've dodged them both.
And then they take a big metal bar
right in the face it's one of the best moments of that movie and it's shot so well there's like
i usually don't like a lot of quick cuts because i i just tend to like as much to be done in the
same shot as possible especially with action but every single shot in that sequence is an absolute
masterpiece the thing hits them in the face it looks like it
hits them in the face it's like a split second cut where they're just falling backwards down a hole
it's like a half second shot that must have taken like an entire day to set up it's an absolutely
crazy sequence and i think the perfect escalation of an original movie i I think that, I think the thing that makes those Home Alone movies so great
is that they treat
human beings
like,
like they're
Wile E. Coyote,
right?
It's a cartoon movie.
In a fucking
Bugs Bunny commercial,
or Bugs Bunny cartoon.
It's just,
if they got hit
in real life
by that pipe,
their skulls would cave in.
Yeah,
their heads would have
been knocked off.
Yeah, you know, yeah. And if that didn't kill them yeah their heads would have been knocked off yeah you know yeah
and if that didn't kill him the fall would have it's so fucking funny kevin the calcer would be
he would be in jail for homicide i think it's self-defense but yeah ah the the classic michael
meyers defense the halloween seven i'm trying to think like that's an interesting it's not even necessarily
it's like i'm sequel to a movie in which the characters are the same and they're doing a
similar task but they've learned something from the first one that somehow broadens their knowledge
yeah i just remember liking that so much as a kid when when the same actor as the same character would reference
or remember something from the previous movie i just used to eat that shit up like even in the
mummy like when brendan fraser would be like ah not these guys again like stuff like that when i
was 11 i loved it because it was like oh i'm in on this reference that's a that's a great question
that i don't have an answer to i'm trying to think man the the last movie question you had I felt like I had 400 answers immediately I got nothing
for this because a lot of movies don't do it well they'll either go way overboard or something will
happen and they won't remember that it's happened before and stuff like that it was just it was
ideal yeah I'm trying to think of just like sequels in general I feel like there must have
been something
they learned between independence day one and two but what that was i couldn't tell you i have no
idea but i'm sure there was something um oh uh how about karate kid two when daniel goes to do the
fucking leg kick and the dude's like yeah i saw that before fuck you and then he has to come up
with a whole new way to fight i haven't seen karate kid 2 but it's similar second one you
guys ever saw karate kid 2 no wow he goes to okinawa and fights in okinawa and over there
they know all of his tricks yeah you guys should see it it was real good um fuck i don't yeah
that's that's a great i'll have to think about it we'll come back to it we'll
come back to it speaking of andrew did you because you said you were going to did you ever watch home
sweet home alone i was going to last night and i i forgot well i remember i forgot until last night
then i didn't i was like i probably won't come up today and i was wrong i was clearly wrong about
that because every time I prepare for a thing
it never happens.
So I thought, ah, this will be another one of those.
I'm just glad I randomly
watched The Mummy yesterday.
I had no idea it was going to come up 17 times
during this episode. I don't believe
you. I don't believe that you watched The Mummy.
Oh, nor should you.
Obviously I was full
of shit i was making yeah i didn't actually watch them wait a minute does jeff i watch survivor wait
does jeff not no sarcasm can we do this to him is he not because everyone else just i don't think
you know how to be sarcastic jeff no i think that you just don't know how to read sarcasm
i don't know the whole room i think the whole room believed your mummy lie.
Well, I think that says a lot about the room.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, I'm not going to argue.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm not going to counter that point.
You're completely accurate.
Nick, did you believe him too?
He said,
absolutely.
Nick absolutely did as well.
He's being sarcastic.
You guys can't read it the problem is
with this show specifically there's so many dumb coincidences that is that have happened during the
entirety of our up to now three season run that it wouldn't be out of the question that you would
have happened to have watched the mummy the day before I will give you that it is so fucking
absurd that I find it hard to believe some of the
coincidences that are happening and they're happening to me.
You know,
you're right.
This it's this podcast is either charmed or cursed.
I think depending on how you look at it.
Hmm.
I go with charmed,
but I would go with charmed as well.
Um,
I have a thing I was going to talk about,
not food related.
I got a bunch of things that are food related.
It's just weirdly food heavy.
You can,
you can do food.
I can do food.
Well,
I'll do that.
I'm curious about your answer,
but I have a feeling it might be like Gavin's question where I don't know if
you guys will have an answer to this.
It was just an odd thought I had today.
What is the thing that you've done the most without doing it?
Is there a thing that you can,
so I'll give you an example and i'm not proud of this
but i was listening to a thing and they were talking about how like yeah you buy this product
and they will plant a tree every for everyone that's bought they will plant a tree with the
money you spent on it i don't think i've ever planted a tree before but i've planted so many
trees i've bought so many things that have planted trees
or have like i even switched to the web browser that was like we'll plant a tree
every however many searches you can see how many trees you planted i've done that i've planted a
fuck ton of trees i don't think i've ever actually personally physically planted a tree
i guess in a similar vein i we've raised like a of money for kids. I've never given money to a kid.
This could take a really bad turn.
I've killed so many people in Halo.
I've never murdered anybody.
It's probably that.
It's probably all the people I murdered online
throughout the course of my life.
Oh my god.
There's a lot of stuff that I think about that's not the same but similar it's like i think i've worked out
way more in the sims than i have in real life and that makes me sad to think about
how about what do you think the what do you think is the thing that you've paid for the most that
you've used the least because you say that and i instantly think of the two years i had a gym
membership that i forgot about that i never went to oh paid the most and used the least because you say that and i instantly think of the two years i had a gym membership that i forgot about that i never went to oh paid the most and used the least like you had an xbox live
account for three years you didn't know about you're paying 10 bucks a month for gab or whatever
yeah gavin to usa yeah and i and i bought a month's worth so it was renewing at the i think
it was renewing at ten dollars a month and I forgot about it for three years
livid about it. And it was for one video
it was just to make that Worms video before
my account could migrate
over to the US or something. I had to make an
interim account.
I bought DLC
for a Call of Duty game I never ended up buying.
That has haunted me to this day.
I spent $10
on DLC thinking, oh I own that has haunted me to this day i spent ten dollars on dlc you own the dlc i i own a piece
of dlc for call of duty world at war because i was like yeah i'll buy that game again down the
road and i never bought it again but i'm still mindful and aware of the fact that i bought that
dlc and i never played it does it let you buy the dlc yeah it was just because it was like a digital
this was 360 era so not a lot of digital
full game purchases, but you would download the DLC. So I bought like some map pack or like zombies.
I don't know what I bought. I bought a piece of DLC for World at War and I'd already played it
and returned it at that point. And I planned on buying it again and I just never did that part.
So I own the DLC. I've never played it. It was probably zombie related because I think that was
the first Call of Duty to introduce zombies, if I remember correctly. I've never played it. It was probably zombie related because I think that was the first Call of Duty
to introduce zombies, if I remember correctly.
I feel like it was a thing where I saw like,
oh, there's some zombie DLC.
I could get some achievements in this.
This will be fun.
I bought it and then I never followed through
and bought the actual game to play it.
You should go back and get those achievements now.
I'm still, I'm just trying to get 50 cent.
Why is that not part of the redemption year?
Because I really don't want to play Call of Duty World at War.
That game made me quit playing Call of Duty games.
Campaigns.
The respawn.
Didn't they change the respawn in that one?
Where it's like they would not stop respawning no matter how many you kill.
Yeah.
I was like playing it on veteran or whatever the hardest difficulty is.
And I got stuck in this bunker high,
like on like a Normandy type level.
It might've been Normandy for all I remember.
I don't know.
It was so long ago.
And I was like,
every time I tried to peek out,
they would,
they would fucking peg me.
And so I was just trying to figure out how to get out.
And I was like stuck in there.
I had checkpointed and I was trying to just figure out like,
how do I,
you know,
like everything I tried,
uh,
failed,
but I was safe in the in the bunker and then after
like five minutes they just started spawning grenades in the bunker and i was like all right
assholes that sucks fuck you i'm done and so i never went back i don't know i don't know that
i played another call of duty campaign after that for years probably they're fucking expensive to
buy digitally still they like just they only sell like the ultra bundle
it's still like 50 bucks to buy world at war fucking nick nick said he's he's eating a lot
of apples but he's never picked one from a tree that's a good point you've never okay well this
will this will lead to another thing there is something the apple experience is enhanced when
you pick it from the tree i don't care if you're baking it like if you're if you're picking your own apples and then turning it into a pie better than any other
pie you'll have anywhere else i feel sad for now bullshit no it it it's just a thing i legally or
scrumptious always a little bit better scrum look go and pick some apples off a tree yeah i'll make
a pie with them and also make a pie with some apples that I got. And you you're saying you could tell the difference.
I could tell the difference.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's a vibe thing.
You can just it feel utter nonsense.
Are you?
OK, well, do you want to hear another another thing that you're going to hate?
The utter nonsense category.
It was snowing.
It snowed here a few days ago.
And I realized that Coca-Cola tastes better when it's snowing outside.
ago and i realized that coca-cola tastes better when it's snowing outside if specifically when it's in a can a coca-cola a coke in the snow in a can form is my snow beverage of choice
is it because of the ads with like santa and all that it could be like yeah the polar bears like
it could be part of it i can't explain to to you why, but it tastes better. It tastes better when it's not.
I'm going to,
I'm going to support both of those statements,
Andrew.
I'm,
I'm,
I'm with you on both of those,
the pot,
the apple and the Coke.
I'm not saying the vibe doesn't like increase the enjoyment,
but it's no,
there's no way it transfers to the taste.
It's all part of the experience that,
Oh,
once again,
we're talking to the guy that fucking hates tasting anything.
There's less food. You're not a food guy in any way you think it's all the same
right and apple six is across the board no kidding you got you got fucking you you live
in fear of turkey sandwiches for christ's sake i feel like you're the worst person like i agree
with what you're saying like i understand it it isn't true but it is true
like it's not true it makes no sense it shouldn't be true but in my heart it is true i would say
the snow thing is more likely to be true because potentially the air tastes different when it's
snowing i was inside i was inside yeah never mind i think this is looking out the window. I think what we should do.
I think... I like that I try and...
The 1% of the conversation I can defend him with.
He's like, no.
I've been...
I'll just do all the food.
I got a cheese advent calendar.
I've been exploring cheese.
I'm not a cheese...
I don't... I've never really had cheese before. Say it. Say it. I'm not a cheese guy. You can say it. I'm not a cheese advent calendar. I've been exploring cheese. I'm not a cheese. I don't,
I've never really had cheese before.
It's fine.
Say it.
I'm not a cheese guy.
You can say it.
I'm not a cheese guy,
but I am a cheese guy.
I'm a very specific cheese guy.
I like it melted.
And I still am holding that opinion.
Are we talking like a British cheese advent calendar?
We are.
Yes,
it is a British cheese.
I can already tell you which is the best one in there.
And I want to see if you agree.
What is,
what is the best one? The best And I want to see if you agree. What is the best one?
The best cheese in there is smoked applewood.
I enjoy the smell of smoked applewood a lot.
Okay.
Cheese is fine.
It's okay.
It's not bad.
Interesting.
Because that's the best.
If I was keeping a list of my top seven cheeses a secret from you
and you found my secret document
smoked apple would be number one really that's your number one cheese number one cheese in the
world oh you should tell that to the celebrity cheese bonger dude oh you know what's exciting
about that that box Gavin I don't remember what it's called oh I'm not gonna pull it out because
I'd have to move my mic to get it um my mic stand is in front of my fridge and it would
be a whole thing to like pull the box out one of the cheeses in that box talk about coincidences
is the same cheese they use when they race cheese when they roll it down the hill for the cheese
race oh so it's all connected yes i don't remember what it is but but what is this? The man who asked 400 celebrities for their...
There's a cheese guy?
He's famous.
He spams every celebrity on Twitter to ask them what their favorite cheese is,
and then he records it and puts it in his cheese book.
He's got a crazy amount of celebrities that have responded to him.
I'll just throw it out there for later.
I don't want to interrupt your story now.
No, this is an important addition.
I feel like the advent calendar is underutilized
like as somebody who doesn't i would never opt to just have cheese like i wouldn't order a cheese
plate i get a little little bit of cheese every day i'm expanding my food horizons do you also
get a stupid joke on the inside of the door no it's just like a little thing you can color in
if you want to there's no joke but i just i feel like I don't know why Advent calendars are just Christmas related.
I would buy a cheese calendar for February.
Should we have the official face February cheese calendar?
I just think that it's a fun way to try things that I'm on the fence about.
I feel like I could like cold cheese.
I will say I started I picked this up on the fence about i feel like i could like cold cheese i will say i started
i picked this up on the 8th of december i ate the first two when i ate a basic cheddar by itself
i ate the apple smoke your favorite gavin i tried that by itself i then took days three through six
put them on a thing of grilled cheese melted them just melted them on top of it was delicious
i think melted cheese is better that's sound pretty good i feel like it's a good way to try
stuff because you've got a natural palate cleanse between every bite of 24 hours you do absolutely
and it's just an exciting thing you wake up you get to open a compartment you don't know what's
in it it's great i think it's dumb that they are only a december holiday thing i have one emily made one for me it's a house and it's just it's not cheese though it's
candy but i get different candies every day it's fucking awesome that's very sweet i do like oh i
did some research on mine any website that recommends a build your own go fuck yourself
go fuck yourself like if you have somebody who's willing to do it for you there's nothing more insulting than trying to find a good advent calendar they're like make
it yourself it's like i fucking i could buy a million of those why are you recommending this
to me i'm not like i i fucking i hate it i hate it so you're a big advent guy i love i'm a big
december guy i love everything about it i love love the movies. We've talked about this. The greatest stretch of the
year is October through
December. This is your favorite
time of the year. This is my favorite time
of the year. I'm going to get some Christmas lights later
in the day. Oh, it's going to be great.
A new Halo came out. Can I tell
you what you said
when the new Halo came out?
Absolutely. And then we'll see if
Jeff is as annoyed
as you were by the statement.
I think it makes sense.
Okay.
Yesterday, at the time of this recording,
yesterday, the Halo Infinite campaign came out.
And I hadn't really seen any of it.
I was just...
I avoid trailers.
I avoid people's opinions.
I just want to go in.
Same.
Loving it.
I feel like it's...
I'm not going to talk about the game and i was
talking to andrew about the game and he said this makes me want a new halo game i said this game is
so good i want a new halo game i believe on the day a new halo game came out he was like man i
wish there was another halo see this is how left 4 Dead 2 happened and everybody was all up in arms. It's fucking, all right.
I, yeah, I would love it if you guys,
I'm making a, that's not a,
I'm going to do my best not to play it.
What?
So I'm going to try not to know anything about it.
I'm waiting for co-op.
Millie and I had already planned.
I have played every Halo game at launch in co-op
with the people that are most important
to me at the time. And many, for many of them were you, Gav. Uh, and yeah. And, uh, I really,
really, really was looking forward to playing it with Millicent. You know, we, we went through in
preparation, played all the Halo games together. It became like a really sweet bonding thing.
in preparation played all the Halo games together it became like a really sweet bonding thing
and so I don't want
my first experience playing
a new Halo game with my daughter
or rather I want a first experience of
playing a new Halo game with my daughter and to have that
be new for both of us at the same time
so I'm gonna wait for the fucking
co-op six months or whatever
it's gonna be the hardest thing I've ever done considering
I have a career thanks to halo you know in many parts but it is what it is i guess so now i will i will
expand on my comment without i feel spoiling anything and we talked about it a little bit
jeff and i apologize if i spoiled anything for you not at all you just you said you like the
grappling hook that's fine i like the grappling hook is incredible but when i played it when you play it when you hit i think it's the
most innovative halo game even though a lot of the things in part were in previous halos they've
never been combined in the way it is in this game and it took like six years for this to release
it was the longest gap between halo games and it's one of those things where, you know, it was a development.
How like it was very widely reported that this was a fucking mess of a game to make.
But it's fantastic.
I don't want to wait six more years for what the next step of this is.
Like, it's so great.
There's so many things I love about it, but there are also so many things you can see
where the next step of it will so clearly be an improvement on what they have
like they have the framework beautifully done but there's depth they could add to the world and kind
of the experience as a whole that i think would make it genuinely one of my favorite games of all
time and so i'm excited about that and i want to be i wish i was in a space where halo infinite was
like halo 5 and i'm anticipating what will be what I
think possibly my favorite Halo game ever made. I can completely understand what you're saying
there. I feel like Halo Reach was that for Halo 3. Like I feel like it was an improvement in every
way, not a reinvention, but just like a refinement of what they had. And then ODST and 4 were very
different games in their own right. And that's cool. But like, I totally get what you're saying.
You want to see like the,
the next,
the,
the iteratively improved,
iteratively improved version of what you just played.
Yeah,
exactly.
Like in a way that they took such a step forward and it,
like they have the framework to,
I feel like this game opens them up to take it in so many different
directions as far as the design goes in the future.
And I'm so excited to see that evolution that I wish that there was a Halo game in development right now.
Those people deserve like a huge break.
It's been a nightmare to make it apparently.
And it's the holidays like they deserve time.
Realistically, I want them to like relax and just enjoy themselves.
I want them to like relax and just enjoy themselves.
But for my own selfishness, I would be so excited to know that there is a Halo game that is expanding on
what we currently have like two years in development.
And that is around the corner.
I'm so excited for it.
Like Halo infinite has brought back a passion.
I have for the series as a whole that I didn't know I could regain.
I love those games so much.
And it kind of, I didn't know I could regain. I love those games so much. And it kind of,
I don't know.
I fell out of that and I'm so happy to be back in it.
And just so generally excited about Halo.
I've been having so much fun with infinite.
Yeah.
I feel like I can't give any opinions.
It's like the one area where I can see that I am just a fan boy of Halo.
And when a Halo game is good,
I would give this game 10 out of 10
based on what I've seen so far.
I don't want to overhype it for people who aren't into Halo,
but I love it.
I'm going to, I'll post like a link to a clip briefly.
I don't like, I don't think this is necessarily
the most interesting thing.
I'd just like to see your reaction to it, Jeff.
And I don't feel like this is spoiled.
It's literally just me grappling hooks.
I'm using like the grappling hook thing
it's fucking crazy Halo
Infinite is like a
Spider-Man game it is
so much fun you said if you had
a second grappling hook it would be the best
Spider-Man game ever made it is
so much because I had to
the way that they design they can
design the game now it's not flat
in the same way this is just beautiful it can design the game now, it's not flat in the same way.
This is beautiful.
It looks beautiful.
And the movement of it is so unlike any other Halo experience. Like the other, you could play Halo Reach and there is some difference in the movement,
but it's fundamentally kind of the levels are designed the same and you have the same
limitations.
And Halo Infinite, I need to climb a mountain and i can just fucking zip line up it
and it's fluid and it feels great dude you're it looks like you're climbing out of valhalla
the valhalla yeah it's fucking awesome and the thing that bungie always was really good at is
that if there was a piece of geometry in the distance you could kind of always walk on it
like a lot of games were just put in some weird like translucent clipping through like background
stuff if you found a way
of the map in the original halo games even if you weren't supposed to you could actually walk out to
all these places and now it's like available and it's part of the game and it's that's such a great
example of it of like yeah not only can you get there but you can get there and you might find a
thing there and there might be a mission and like that is so cool to me and it's not the deepest
those mechanics.
And those were the things where I was like, wow, with this framework and expanding on
this, like adding more depth to just the world as a whole.
I'm so excited for where Halo will go.
And I wish it was here already.
It's sort of the sentiment I was trying to make.
The thing that excites me about it, just watching that clip and just thinking about what I'm
eventually going to get
to play it is the best part of halo to me is after i've beaten the game five or six times and you're
just exploring and looking for easter eggs and you're just looking for just weird shit and trying
to break the map and trying to get trying to get places where you're not supposed to and and just
exploring just because just because you want more of the world right like you just i walked around
i've watched on halo so it's so many maps so much of my life has been spent walking around hail
looking for for sets and shit for red versus blue but also just wanting to just spend five more
minutes in the world and see something new that i hadn't seen you know and it looks like that is
what this game is yeah it's like they've brought the attitude you take
into your sixth playthrough,
and they've applied it to your first playthrough.
It's encouraged, and it feels great
just to piss off and walk around.
I'm very excited to play it someday.
We're a Halo podcast.
I would be fine with that.
Hey, when we go to Vancouver sometime next year
so that we can go crabbing and do the bathtub race, we should also plant a tree.
We should.
In Andrew's name.
Absolutely.
That's genuinely on my list.
Once I thought of that, I was like, I need to plant a tree.
What tree would you go for?
That is...
Apple tree?
What's the official f*** face tree?
Could you just plant a Cosmic Crisp?
I guess I could, theoretically.
I don't know if I would.
I didn't.
It was unfortunate.
I discovered the greatest apple pairing of all time, Jeff.
I invented something as soon as we stopped recording.
Let me tell you about the Cosmic Lady.
Take one bite of a Cosmic Crisp.
You take one bite of a Pink Lady.
What a blend.
That's a great combo.
I'd highly recommend it to anybody out there.
After you were saying that last week,
and was it someone here saying they didn't like peanut butter with apple?
Me.
Yeah.
I feel like that's peanut butter.
It's a decent pairing.
I didn't have it until I moved here,
but it's pretty common from what I've seen.
What if you took your four favorite apples into quadrants
and glued them together with peanut butter?
Do you think that would be the best apple of all time?
No.
I don't like the peanut butter.
I don't understand that part of it.
If you take four things you like separately
and then connect them all with the thing you don't like,
will that be the best experience?
Most people like that.
Most people think.
And if you're saying two apples in your mouth at the same time taste really good,
that could be the ultimate snack.
Oh, I see.
It's like your glove, but it's apples and peanut butter.
Oh, Nick says you could do caramel instead.
You could do caramel or honey or something.
You could build.
Andrew, you could construct the
ultimate apple i like this like the apple prime yeah yeah the infinity apple
yeah the infinity apple that's what you're making we should find which
four quadrants of four different apples make the ultimate mega apple
the infinity apple the
voltron of apples since we're an apple podcast i want it known we need to mark december 9th we
said we're gonna do this last week i have a cosmic crisp i'm putting it in my fridge and i will not
touch it until one year from now oh i gotta do that right now too uh shit let me go do i'll be
right back are we gonna go put our apples? Mine's on my desk at work.
Gavin, are we going to push another week?
No, no, no.
I'll just be a week behind.
I'll just be a week behind.
He will get to witness us, and then he will get to have the experience himself
the following week.
And he's committed to it.
So no matter how it turns out,
Gavin then needs to try the apple a week after we do.
All right, well, I'll be right back.
I'm going to go put my apple in the fridge right now.
I can do that. I'm going to go in i'm gonna go put my apple in the fridge right now i can do that i'm gonna go in tomorrow get my apple i opened the fridge can i see my cheese
thing from i can't damn it it's the you know it's when i got the advent calendar i opened
i didn't realize so it has like you know one of those pull strips on cardboard to like open yeah
yeah i didn't notice it had one so i just opened the bottom and i pulled it out and it was just this plastic piece of cardboard with cheese sticking
out of it and it was so ugly and i was like there's no way that this is just what it is
and then i realized that the calendar part you have to pull the top and then it opens
inside to slide the cheese back inside the weird guts of yeah the weird guts of the advent calendar
and i know somebody else who had
it and i was paranoid that i put it in backwards and i was eating 24 on day one and so you wanted
to match up with the other person so i just had the experience yeah i was like oh man what was
what was your what was the cheese you got on day one like i just try to casually bring it up so i
didn't say that i had to explain they're like oh it's the same okay good up, so I didn't say that. I had to explain. They're like, oh, it's the same.
Okay, good.
I did it.
I didn't fuck it up.
I'm not eating backwards.
Although that could be fun if you ate a cheese calendar one way,
I ate it the other way, meet up in the middle, see what we got,
talk about the experience, exchange information.
What a journey.
Eating backwards.
Eating backwards.
I did a... I don't know if I should talk about this people were not happy with me people got angry why not i did a thing i did a food thing and this
is a little old at this point but i've been meaning to talk about it on the show um this
is something you did publicly people know about this is the thing i did publicly yeah i'll i'll
just i'll just post it here and i'm gonna advise i'm gonna be up front the first thing i'm gonna say was it it's
delicious the second thing i'm gonna say i'm prepared to be disgusted no i don't think it uh
uh the first it's delicious don't do it that's gonna be my second thing
it's delicious oh right yeah people were mad at you
they were mad they're mad at me this was an invention i came up with heating marshmallows
every okay okay what you'll just get like wax is fuel so this is this is the thing you're gonna be
burning you might as well do it over a piece
so there is that can't be healthy well that's that's yeah that was sort of my thought that
was sort of my thought so this is how it started i learned that there are devices that you can buy
i say devices like it's fucking advanced technology you can buy things to melt marshmallows
they're like metal they're shitty they're like 40 bucks and you can heat marshmallows indoors with them and i was like i don't really want to pay 40 bucks for that
but a melted marshmallow like a little bit burnt marshmallow it's delicious so i was thinking how
could i do this i had an apple on my desk i had a fork and i had a candle i was like ah i wonder
if i can make this work so between halo games, I would throw my fork over the candle
and I'd get a nice cook going.
And yeah, there's a lot of ways.
That fork got pretty hot too.
Oh, the fork would get hot.
It would be a problem sometimes
when removing the marshmallow from the fork.
At the base, it wouldn't be too much of an issue.
It'd take a while.
Is that sitting on your scarlet
that you use to record this podcast with?
The fork is, yes, with the apple.
The superheated fork?
No, no, no.
It's transferring all that heat down to that device?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Into the other metal device?
The hot fucking fork that's sitting on another metal fucking device?
You have never roasted a marshmallow over a candle, my friend,
and it shows. It does not
get that hot. Jeff, that's the heat sink
for his fork. That's the heat sink
for his fork. Yeah, the heat's
being dispersed into the scarlet.
No, there's no...
You don't have to worry about that. It's just the point
in which it's over direct flame. The fork
itself doesn't get that hot. Do not
do this for several reasons. One,
as you brought up wax
will get onto the candle i never tasted it i believe this was a soy wax blend and also the
other issue is uh some some uh wicks are made with lead in them so do not avoid generally i don't
think it's a common practice i did not have mine was a completely natural wick, zero lead.
Did you check that before though?
Oh no,
I had no idea that that was a thing.
I checked that after.
How many marshmallows,
how many,
by the way,
Nick says you might as well be
cooking this on a tire fire,
which I agree.
No, it's not nearly that bad.
How many marshmallows would you say?
That is an extreme exaggeration.
How many wax marshmallows, wax and lead marshmallows would you say... That is an extreme exaggeration. How many wax marshmallows,
wax and lead marshmallows would you say you ate?
Three.
I had three marshmallows.
I had some guy came at me of like,
this fucking idiot's only going to cook one side.
Dummy, you don't think I flipped the fork over?
You think that this is just how it is?
Wait, how do you get the same position with the fork on its back?
Oh, you got to hold it at that point. At that point, you're holding it, just how it is wait how do you get the same position with the fork on it oh you gotta hold
it that at that point at that point you're holding it or or you're like resting it on i don't i think
that it's something that was slightly taller than an apple that you could try to i did attempt that
and the fork slid into the it slid into the candle okay i lost him lost him every single week this is what it's like to to do a podcast with you
lately uh well i didn't vanish though you're quiet about it we should probably wrap it up
yeah i was actually thinking since uh since eric since eric isn't here we might as well do like a
responsible wrap-up and like an easy one uh because it'll frustrate him that he didn't get to participate
in it so
Andrew's not here anymore we
suspect we suspect honestly
he might have burned burned his apartment down
with a with a candle and
a fork
and it's
it's s'mores I guess
but I like the other of him aggressively saying, no, dummy.
Of course, I flipped my fork over as I cooked a marshmallow on a candle.
Dummy.
Oh, my God.
I don't know.
I keep waiting for him to show back up because I don't actually want to end it with him not here.
But he doesn't seem to be.
So fuck it.
What if we end it, right?
Then he comes back and we don't tell him it ended.
Oh, I like that.
Thank you.
Sorry.
Thank you for listening to yet another episode of the Face Podcast.
Today we talked about a lot.
podcast. Today we talked about a lot.
I'll leave it up to the capable mouth
of minor league fan Jack to perfectly
surmise it in a different episode.
But we really appreciate it.
If you like the podcast, if you wouldn't mind telling
a friend, recommending it to somebody,
we would really appreciate it. Rooster Teeth
is our parent company. The
family umbrella, as it were, is a company that was
built on, literally built on
word of mouth. And so it's
how we survive and it's how
we fail as a company. So if you would
be so kind as to spread the word, we would
certainly appreciate it. Thank you very much. We love
you and we'll see you next week.
You know what? I'd be interested, if the comment
was out there, I want to leave a comment. Which
episodes have you shown
to other people to get them into this
podcast? Because I'd be interested to know which one you picked.
Yeah, I would like that as well.
What is the best episode to introduce someone to F*** Face?
Because I guarantee it's not episode one.
No, that's the thing.
It's not episode one.
And there's a lot of lore that runs throughout.
So it's like, where do you jump them in?
Where do you jump them in?
Yeah.
It's confusing.
Still no Andrew, huh?
Shit.
We'll have to end it.
Now he's just fucking gone.
Now he's back.
No, no.
Okay.
So that was really unfortunate.
You lost me, and then I came back relatively quickly,
and I heard your whole dumb plan of pretending the show's still going on
even though it ended.
I heard all that.
That wasn't a dumb plan.
That was a great plan.
It was a ridiculous plan.
What I forget is whenever it loses me,
I need to leave the call to be able to speak again.
So I was just waiting.
I was waiting in the bushes.
I could hear everything.
I was listening to it all.
I was waiting for my time to cut in
and make my great line.
And nothing.
Just I say it and nothing picks up.
I didn't even say great line.
I was just going to be like, so is this where we pretend that we end the podcast?
And then nothing.
Just I can't say a thing.
So then I need to leave.
It's like I need to scream from the bushes that I'm in the bushes to then reenter the bushes.
And be like, surprise.
It ruined. Hey, do you guys think we should
go we should do
I was thinking about this last week
do you guys think sometime next year we should do an
apple picking event where we go to like an
orchard and we do like like when I do my
apple trip I'm saying you guys want to go on an
apple trip with me next year I would love to
go on an apple trip with you fall
scrump 2022
you know I think that's a great fucking title I love that scrump trip with me next year? I would love to go on an Apple trip with you. Fall Apple trip. We could call it Scrump 2022.
You know, I think that's a great fucking title.
I love that. Scrump 2022. Put it on the side.
I realize the episode ended
already, but that brings up a question
I have. Do you think there is an
etymological connection
between the word scrump
or scrumping and
scrumptious? What's scrumptious? You've never heardumping and scrumptious.
What's scrumptious?
You've never heard the term scrumptious?
No.
I've heard scrumptious.
Scrumptious, scrumptious, however you want to say it.
Scrumptious.
Do you think there's a... I don't know.
Jeff, I haven't heard the word, but maybe.
That character, Chitty Bang Bang, truly scrumptious.
Scrumptious. Scrumptious, scr scrumptious I'm saying how it's spelled
I will say
it was so in the past Jeff
we've had disagreements and you've
cited things like the dictionary to prove
that you're right and it is infuriating
at times you had
my back on you regardless having
the dictionary on your side is
so much fun.
When you're on the other side of it, people are like, that's such a bullshit word.
Just being able to be like, hey, you got to go talk to the dictionary people.
I'm just I'm saying it.
They backed it.
It's not my fight.
I may even agree with you, but it's there.
So I sent you a scrumptious of food.
Extremely tasty.
Delicious.
What did you say?
A scrumptious chocolate tart.
I put it in.
Where did you send it? Oh, is it not on the thing? How do I know. What did you send me? A scrumptious chocolate tart. Where did you send it?
Oh, is it not on the thing?
How do I?
No.
Where did you put it?
It's not.
Weird.
Modify attachment.
Okay.
Just attach.
What do you need to attach?
Oh.
Oh.
Scrumptious.
Extremely tasty.
Delicious.
I wonder if like the root of it is like so like like if it comes from like it's so
good it tastes stolen or something that's what i was about to say like how i'm talking about
that a coke is the best beverage in a snow scenario does an apple that's stolen taste better
yeah maybe yeah so it'd be like if uh if you got a lot of money That was stolen you could be like Oh it feels thiefly
It spins thiefly
Alright well
We made a really long one
That was a long episode
Jesus is it really? Oh my god you're right it's an hour and twenty minutes
Oh my god I gotta go get my kid
God damn it I gotta go get my kid.
God damn it.
I gotta go.
He's gonna break another phone.
This is gonna cause another phone.
I hope not.
Gonna go to the wrong school.
I've done that before.
Alright, take it away, Jack.
Hey guys, minor league fan Jack here with a look at next week's episode of F*** Face.
It's the second episode of season three.
Jeff is an Ashton Kutcher fan.
Andrew wants a coin toss specialist.
Gavin wants some jewelry for his cats.
The boys talk about securing bread.
And once again, Andrew does not eat the pencil.
All that and more on the next episode of F*** Face.
