Starting point is 00:00:48 Thank you Express VPN for sponsoring Rooster T. Hello, everyone welcome to the receipt podcast. I'm Gus. Oh, I'm Gavin. I'm John. I'm Barbara. And I'm Gus again. What are you gonna say, John, share it with us.
Starting point is 00:01:03 I was, we were just talking about hair being everywhere. And Gavin, I were talking about this hair. And I was going to tell Gavin that I had to trim this, all this back here, because it was just coming out. And so it's just like just hair coming out of my neck. Just so fluffy. So I had like shave all that down just like connect. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:22 Like I last time I went to Robert, like, Ion's ago when I did the haircuts and stuff, he gets to that point and he's like, you know, that's the last thing they do is they like shave that all down and he goes like, I'm just gonna pick a spot where to stop. This is it. This is where back hair starts and head hair stops.
Starting point is 00:01:41 This is where back hair starts and next stops. Oh my goodness. That always feels so good when you get a haircut and they like do that shape part right there. So, so satisfying. I'll never know that feeling. You could just get your head rested to just pretend though. You could probably still feel all the the happenings on the back of your neck. I love going to the hairdresser, like getting having your head washed and
Starting point is 00:02:06 massaged by someone else other than yourself is a treat that everyone should get to experience once in their life. My heck got on this fancy is that. Let me tell you how far my social anxiety goes. I agree with you, Barb. I love the massage and hairwashing. Again, Robert my buddy who cuts my hair, he does all that kind of stuff. But at the same time, feel extremely awkward that even though I'm paying this person, they're like washing my hair. I feel like like no other humans should be required ever to wash my hair. But me, I'm a grown-ass. Wash my hair, giving me a sponge bath, you know, just really the whole nine yards.
Starting point is 00:02:45 I can relate, John. It no joke. It took me years to build up the courage to ask like, I didn't want to do it. It just felt like so strange and alien to me. But finally, when they I was like, I had to wash, you know, like, I just screamed. Is that not a gift? I don't want to. No, I feel like that's like, you got to pay way more for that.
Starting point is 00:03:06 Oh, I got maybe I'm just used to going like to female hair salons and not that like any hair salon only takes women, but like the place is I typically go to that's just a given. If you're getting a haircut, especially they watch your first like, cut it. 90% of mine have been a little bit of spray, bit of spray bottle, get it moist and then just cut, cut, cut, just saw it off in about 12 minutes, Celia. The reason I started getting the wash was mainly just to get like the little crap
Starting point is 00:03:32 out of your hair, right? So it's not like constantly following and making you itchy on your neck for the rest of the day. It's like, I wash it after. Yeah, it's after. Oh. Like before is just spritz like Gavin's talking about. And then after a wash to like get all the crap out.
Starting point is 00:03:49 You're not living until like go to a nice salon where they literally give you like a five minute scalp massage as they're washing your hair, life changing. Although there are some places and some hairdressers I've had who I think, I don't know if they massage people's heads that are just made out of metal or something like that, but they squeeze so hard where you're just like, those are my temples. Oh, I can't see anything now. Yeah, dude. Robert massaging my head and like he was like, he would do pressure point stuff.
Starting point is 00:04:20 I swear, it's like opening up shockers that don't exist and and Passage ways in my in my nasal system that I didn't know I had just it's fantastic opening your third eye Yeah Fordai Yeah, at his old salon. He's not there anymore. It it closed. I can't remember if it was pre or post-COVID But they even had like a separate little room that was like this Zen room that the lighting was low. There was like Zen sounds and music happening and we go in there to be all quiet. Everything is just the best part. And then we'd go back out into the bright light of day and cut my hair. I feel like getting my hair cut in good in like all the ones in
Starting point is 00:05:01 tame, all the barbershops were just the chatty as moves and they'd always be full So you get you get a happy car. Yeah, and then he said right And I'm just like Not relaxing it anyway probably my least favorite thing to do Go ahead John. I was just I was gonna ask do you guys remember that Ray got so relaxed that the haircut once he fell asleep? How could we forget? And then woke up with the wrong haircut?
Starting point is 00:05:33 It's classic. I feel like I still got a couple shit on that whole situation. How I don't understand how anyone could fall asleep mid haircut. I could absolutely fall asleep. I like before I started using my CPAP, I my sleep was so bad at night that during the day, if I close my eyes, I would fall asleep almost instantly. And there were times sitting in the barber chair where with my eyes closed,
Starting point is 00:05:55 I would like be on the verge of nodding off. So what your head like. Yeah, but maybe the they just worked around it. I don't know. I can imagine it happening. I can imagine Ray waking up a bit like, all right, sweet. Thanks for that. Yeah, I love it. You got to think about like Ray sleeping habits, especially like this is probably like six, seven years ago. And like, probably how much he was staying up late and just had erratic sleep habits. So you probably just was like, probably how much you was staying up late and
Starting point is 00:06:25 just had erratic sleep habits. So you probably just was like, yep, just nodded off. I remember when we when we started the Let's Play channel, we started just saying Let's play into the mics and then we would have them play over the logo on the old intro.
Starting point is 00:06:39 And I thought it was I thought it was cool to like document it. So I filmed us all doing a few. That we didn't use them all, but I look back and it. Well when I post it on my vimeo, I think because I didn't know where to put it But Ray has the thumb hair cut in that way. We're leading it. I'm gonna let Love how he also he got it was it the day before or the day of our company picture to Forever cemented in Richard T. The history as photo. He's he's had a bit of a
Starting point is 00:07:09 glow up. I'll give him credit to Ray. He's he's dressing well. He takes care of his hair. We haven't seen the thumb hair for a while now. He's he's for he's very he's very happy and healthy and and I think he's do well. So I give him props for the glow up. I feel like Gus also had a good glow up. I got to say, like, looking back at Gus's clothing choices from early day ruchia teeth and then like all of a sudden, I don't know what happened. Like you started dressing real good. What happened was I could start sleeping.
Starting point is 00:07:41 I think the early days, it was just like so hectic. There was no time for anything. And finally, we started getting enough help where I could think about those things. Also, the early days, now, this point, the early days of Ristatief, they're a completely different fashion period. That's right. Right. Like so much time is passed. Yeah. But even during that period, Gus wasn't in the fashion. He was still, He was still next to fashion. Thank you, Barbara.
Starting point is 00:08:08 I appreciate it. I did a TikTok recently where I took some articles of clothing from the Rursu store and I tried to mimic all of our clothing styles in the core group. And to mimic Gus' style, I put on a nice pair of pants, some very slick shoes, and wore the sweater, and like, you know, to put it in a descriptive word, I had to look respectable to look like us. I'm actually not wearing nice shoes right now.
Starting point is 00:08:35 I'm wearing slippers that are so old that they're tearing, they're falling apart. That's a lot, you're in your house. If you're wearing nice shoes to do this podcast this morning, which, I don't know if we mentioned what we're going to do. Yeah, we're pre-taped. Yeah, this is a lot. You're in your house. If you were wearing nice shoes to do this podcast this morning, which I don't know if we mentioned we're going. Yeah, we're pre taped. Yeah, this is I would question you. Yeah, there'd be a little bit be a little strange. Um, when Gavin was talking about a chatty barber shop that he used to go to that reminded me. I don't know if anybody else does anybody else watch the the TV show Atlanta? Uh, it's on. I've
Starting point is 00:09:03 watched the first season. Okay. It's FF. I've watched the first season. Okay. It's amazing. You should really watch season two, season two. It's very good. I know. It's one of those ones I need to go back and finish. Great show.
Starting point is 00:09:12 But there's an episode in season two that takes place in a barber shop. And it's kind of like you're talking about Gavin, like the barber's super chatty and kind of seemingly kind of distracted. And I read a behind the scenes thing about that episode recently where the actor who plays the barber, there was a miscommunication with his agent and he thought he was showing up to the show just to be like a background extra and he said he showed up on set and they're like,
Starting point is 00:09:32 all right, here's your trailer, you know, you're gonna be filled. Well, Collie, when we're ready for you and then he realized that he was like a main character in that episode and he hadn't seen the script yet and that he sat there in his trailer like not wanting to be unprofessional. So he said that he just like sat there and tried to memorize the entire script as quickly
Starting point is 00:09:48 as he could. And like between takes, he was just like, furiously trying to read and memorize the script. Oh my God, that's so stressful. Ah, I would, I would freak out. I would freak out. Gavin would leave. Gavin, you would be like, okay, no, no, this, this, this, this, production, I found to be honest. And he would play the chatty barber. So it's like, okay, no, this is her, this is her, this production. I'm not to be honest. And he was like, the chatty barber. So it's like, he had a ton of lines. It's not like he could just like try to quickly get away with it. It's like, he was, I had the focus of that episode. Yeah. Nightmares where you, you like, it's like, it's the, didn't do my homework, but it's the, I didn't do, I didn't memorize my lines for a shoot the next
Starting point is 00:10:26 day, and I just, I'd rather, I'd rather fall on a bed of axes than do that. I don't remember. For some of you guys were in a 10 little roosters, right? I know Gavin was, Gus, were you in 10 little years? Yeah, you were in 10, yeah, yeah. That production was interesting because it kind of got rushed through to the point where we were receiving scripts the day of for the episode We were recording that day and I remember for one of the last episodes Josh gave me the script and I had like a page and a half monologue And I was like how on earth Are I supposed to memorize this and perform this? It was a nightmare.
Starting point is 00:11:05 That's something that we talk about on the behind the scenes of the Lord of the Rings was because they were doing script fixes so late in the game and shooting that so quickly they were getting sides for each day Yeah, in their hotel room the morning of it's shockingly common for that to be happening on like a list movies like huge blockbusters Like I think all of barameers speech like when they're forming the fellowship He had a script on his lap because Because they just written it and chased it that morning He's just like really emotional like yeah
Starting point is 00:11:38 But he was like doing that to doing that to someone like Sean Bean who's like legendary actor be like all right couple of pages. Uh, action. I don't know if you remember when we did the, uh, the Gavin clone short, it was a similar thing where we didn't have a script until we already started shooting. So I was taping my script to the wall. So it's like, I would be, my island was Gavin, but just to the
Starting point is 00:12:02 left of Gavin's head was a script taped to the wall. So it's like, I would be looking. You're also now looking at what you're doing. Yeah, but it's like I could read it right there if I couldn't remember the lines. We've done that for so many different shorts. So just like taping it like if you have like a binder just like taping it inside or yeah, if someone's your island just taping it like right by the camera or something like that, that is very common and appreciate it as an actor. Yeah, that's how you get the best the best out of someone. That is very common and appreciated as an actor. Yeah. That's how you get the best out of someone.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Yeah. That's like what the sad thing is is when you're watching a movie and like you got this action star, the kick it all this ass stuff, punch people in the face, they're probably, they probably just got a script like last night and they're really tired because they work up at 5 a.m. Like any time you see someone on the screen, they're naked, probably most likely. This is it. You said an action movie.
Starting point is 00:12:50 My brain went to here. Jim Carey for, I'm talking about the Grinch again. I don't mean to talk about the whole thing. It's not, it's not my only obsession. But he had five, five to six hours of makeup every morning before shooting. Same with like Rebecca Romaine and Jennifer Lawrence for Mystique. Like they'd get up at four or five and in the chair by that so they could start shooting with the crew by like, you know, nine or 10, that kind of thing for a full day of shooting.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Talk about falling asleep in the chair, falling asleep 10, that kind of thing for a full day of shooting. That's what we do about falling asleep in the chair, falling asleep in the chair, had to happen for them. Yeah, when we did the cyclop, the episode of Red versus Blue, a couple of seasons ago, where I had to be a cyclops, it took, I think, three hours to put all of that on. Yeah, I think it took three hours to put all of that on. We shot for eight hours, and then it took an hour and a half to take it off. It's like a fucking, and that was, you know, that's only three hours.
Starting point is 00:13:49 You talk about like Mystique, it's like five or six hours. Like that day I was fucking done. Yeah, Lindsay and I had to do for at Sanio Comic-Con, it got makeup on to be skexies from... Dark crystal crystal. Yeah, Dark crystal. I don't know why I'm blanking on it. It's the morning,... Dark crystal crystal. Yeah, dark crystal. I don't know why I'm blanking on it.
Starting point is 00:14:06 It's the morning, that's my excuse. Scary my clothes. And we had to do rock paper scissors at the start of it because there was just one makeup artist that we had. And the process was about three hours. So it's essentially like who's gonna go first and have to sit in this like full prosthetic makeup costume thing for an extra three hours. I lost of course.
Starting point is 00:14:26 I feel like I saw that somewhere. Yeah, I mean, I personally, there's a whole video about it that is on our channel as well. It was actually really fun, but my god, I think I probably sweat like 20 pounds off my body that entire day because it was also San Diego. So it was hot out. We were in the Comic Con Convention Center. It was just, whew. There were some really cool behind the scenes footage that came out that I had not seen prior on how they created the in-person version of Hagrid in Harry Potter for the practical shots of when he's next to regular human. And it was a full suit that a already large gentleman was then put into and kept on with like a head and everything on it. But for that one, because he was in it so much, and because it was they had enough time, or I don't know, I can't
Starting point is 00:15:18 read the details, they actually had a cooling system in there for him. So he just would have died inside of the Hagrid costume. Which I'm sure it's probably common in a lot of those because the skexies for the dark crystal second movie were full body suits of people in there doing puppetry of their heads or anything. So they were in full things like that. So you have to have. I would hope so. I'm so cool. Yeah. Or you're going to just drop people. Yeah. I think all of the dwarfs in the Hobbit had that way. They like between takes would just get plugged into like a cold water system that was
Starting point is 00:15:48 pumped liquid through the through their suit like between the layers. So it would like cool them down. But yeah, because like, especially like the large dwarf he himself was in a full like, he was he was a big guy, but they made him even more rotund with giant layers of stuff. And you'll just overheat your actors. Did you finish watching the Hobbit movies, Gavin? I know you were watching them recently. I did.
Starting point is 00:16:11 I go all the way through. Did you see what I meant by the second movie just ends in the middle of a fight? I honestly didn't have a problem with it because I was like, I mean, that's a cliff I got. But when, but imagine, imagine having to wait a year for the next part. Yeah, when Smiled dies like six seconds into the next movie, I was like,
Starting point is 00:16:31 oh, well, surely you could have ended it there because at least like at the point, like a satisfying payoff, they kind of make that whole dragon bit just seem like the intro, like in a Bond movie, there's like the FAF story before you get to the main one. All of that Happens before the title comes up on the on screen and I was like they could have taken everything before the title on screen in the third
Starting point is 00:16:51 Movie and put it at the end of the second movie like yeah, I ended the second reason for doing it It's like if you're in a boss fight in a video game and you go from like phase one to phase two It's like if they ended the movie as you switch from phase one to phase two. It's like you go from one just like one part of the fight to another one and then it's immediately over like six minutes. He's literally a viscerating the town and you see it from the dwarf perspective. It's like what if we duck credits? So they I didn't realize because I actually visited the set of the Hobbit that I saw a scene being filmed with Martin Freeman, Gandalf, Billy Connolly. I realized Billy Connolly isn't in that film. He's like the the dwarf that comes in towards the end. He has the whole army. He's like the cousin of Thorin. Yeah. He's entirely CG. At no point is Billy Connolly actually filmed on screen.
Starting point is 00:17:47 And I was very confused by it. Oh, I guess all he has is like the battle sequences, right? He's writing that. What is it? Whatever that is. He's writing a gram or something. And then he's fine. I wonder if it was like, I wonder if it was health issues because I know he does have, I think he has Parkinson's or something, but he was there and he was doing his scenes and he was doing them fine. I don't know. I was very confused. I was like, is that Billy Connolly or are they CGing his entire body and face? That's one hell of a FX budget for that. That we entirely like fake. It's entirely like computer generated. Did you know, is that when you, did you know Billy Connelly is?
Starting point is 00:18:29 Yeah. Like famous squash comedian. Mm-hmm. He peeked at a Muppet Treasurer Island, in my opinion. Of course. That is the most John thing I've ever heard in my life. Everybody peeks in their career when they get to work with Muppets. That's what it out of work.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Tim Curry, peeked in Muppet Treasurer. Michael Cain, Muppet Treasurer, Carol. Yeah. Does that mean Elise Willems has peeked since she has a affinity for Muppets and has, I guess, support with Roan Martian of Muppets? When she gets to work with Muppets,
Starting point is 00:19:01 she will be real Muppets. Yes. When she gets to, you know, like if she gets to do something alongside Kermit or Elma or somebody like that, then I don't I think Elise is just going to keep going up and up and up for her entire life. Like I don't think she's ever going to peak. She's always speaking. Of what's the last.

I saw that yesterday, the city of Austin opened up like pre-registration for COVID vaccines.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Should we mention that we're recording this on the 13th of January just for context. Good question. In case anything crazy happens in the next couple days Should we mention that we're recording this on the 13th of January just for context? Good. In case anything crazy happens in the next couple days before Monday, I just want to make that clear. If you're like, why aren't they talking about this? It's Wednesday. But they opened up a pre-registration for COVID vaccines and like I went through the, I
Starting point is 00:21:00 knew I'm not going to get it for a long time, but I went through the process anyway just to get on the list right. Hopefully. Same. Maybe some time to summer. But to me, it felt like I was trying to preorder a PlayStation 5. It's like, well, here I go signing up for something. I know I'm not going to get it for a long time, but I'm going to put my name on the list and eventually I may get this thing. I mean, you'll get it before us, I assume, right? Like, is it? I'm not down. But does it? But does it get to a point where they just go like down in age
Starting point is 00:21:27 Like they start like people 40 and up and then 30 and up and you know, I think it the only difference is 65 and up and then everyone else I think I don't know I was I've been listening to some of the the news reporting on how different states are handling it And it's coming down to state by state basis. It seems because there are CDC guidelines, but they're not legal requirements. And so while they're emphasizing the following of those guys as much as possible, some other states, depending on like the population density of certain groups, they're just opening it up to other groups as well. There's also not a ton. It turns out not a ton of like policing being done to, if someone sneaks in with someone else, like there's, there's people of like admitted, like, yeah, my husband who's like 65, he got signed up and I'm, I'm 58, but I just went ahead and
Starting point is 00:22:17 got mine as well. And so like people are doing that. And so it's, because it's going so slow, it's turning very much into just get vaccines out. Like don't worry. I will. Ton on who gets them? Just get them. I would rather they be used than waste it.
Starting point is 00:22:33 Like, well, yeah, I, sorry, I was talking to my family about this recently and they're like, they're keeping track of what's going on around the world with a vaccine. And apparently in some places like the US, where they're like, okay, we have this amount of vaccines and these people are on the list to get them. So like they get them the vaccine.
Starting point is 00:22:51 And then if they have leftovers, they just go to waste essentially. But they were saying that in Israel, they've been really good about like, okay, we vaccinate everyone who needs it, like the priority and if we have leftover, they literally will go on to the street and say, like, hey, do you want a COVID vaccine?
Starting point is 00:23:06 Like, there was a guy walking by who was delivering pizzas. And they're like, here, they like forced him inside. They're like, you're getting the COVID vaccine. He's like, I've already got a lot of stuff. Because we just need to give them. Stop it. Yeah. And you just stop walking by this hospital.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Cuomo from New York, he originally was, I think with good intentions, adamantly expressing that they are going to follow those CDC guidelines to like the nth degree. And like even if people were giving out vaccines to the wrong people, they would seek, you know, legal response to that to people like this. They're scaring people from giving it to extra people. But then as, you know, America as we do, we fucked up the rollout of this vaccine. A lot of that has been laxed and it's turned more into like, just give people the vaccine. Just get it out there.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I'm, yeah, I mean, I think the more people they get, the better. I mean, I hope I get it. Also, like, eventually. When you give it to set, like, let's say, I say I know obviously there's a priority list of course that they have Rolling out, but if they have excess just find someone to give it to because then that's one less person to administer the vaccine to later on Yeah, there's there's some coordination you have to do because it's a it's a two-parter. So you have to Make sure that happens. What happens if you get pot one and then for some reason unable to get part two,
Starting point is 00:24:27 do you have to get one again? I think what I read was that as long as you get it within, you see there's six months or a year, like there's a long period with which you can wait before you get the second dose. But even after you get the first dose, I think the first dose is, I'm gonna have to top of my head,
Starting point is 00:24:42 52% effective, like it see, 52% immunity. Yeah. Effigacy, yeah. Mm-hmm. So it's better than nothing and you still have a long time to get the second dose. Yeah. That point. It's like a booster, essentially, is what the second one is to increase the efficacy
Starting point is 00:24:58 back up to that 95% efficacy. Then you may turn a one, no. I don't think so. I don't think so. A little bit of my journal, a little bit of Pfizer, a little. Yeah, the material one has a different effort. Yeah. If you get 252%, then you're 104%. Yeah, that's how math works. You actually start repelling it out of other people's bodies at that point. Right. You just look at you make eye contact with them and then they lose their COVID.
Starting point is 00:25:24 It's like a it's like a parking a video game. Yeah. Yeah. Spoon is HP. Yeah. Cute ones. Man. I cast. Oh, I didn't do my long rest. I don't have any spell slots left. No. This little bit inside or baseball there for you. I don't know if anybody's been, but I saw something kind of disturbing the other day. The college football championship, you know, they're still playing coach football, despite everything that's going on happened on Monday, I believe it was. And Alabama won. And after they won the coach football championship, there were videos of people just like flooding out into the streets and celebrating.
Starting point is 00:26:07 And it looks like a nightmare would have these days where it's just tons of people in close proximity with no masks. I was like, yeah, so close to the end guys. Just the states side a little longer. Yeah, so then we got almost there. Well, we also, we had that new strain is making its way to the states and it's like been found in like half a dozen states now, the, the UK variant
Starting point is 00:26:32 that is a 50% more efficiency of like transmission. The England virus. It's the UK variant. It's a valid way to describe it. But I think that they were saying that they're pretty certain that the vaccine is still effective against that variant as well. Yeah, it is. Yeah. So what I'm talking about, the fact that good spread even more is like how much more could this thing spread?
Starting point is 00:27:01 Like, my God, it's already so insanely contagious. Yeah. And what I read was that even if there are future variants that the vaccine is not effective this thing spread like, my God, it's already so insanely contagious. And what I read was that even if there are future variants that the vaccine is not effective against that, it's a quick process to fine tune it for any future variants that might not be just give it a tweak, a little tweak, a little, a little software update. You just got to reboot. Yep. It's kind of, it's kind of interesting learning about why that variant is more contagious. It's specifically, you know, we've all been seeing that, that model of COVID. But it's kind of interesting learning about why that variant is more contagious.
Starting point is 00:27:25 It's specifically, you know, we've all been seeing that model of COVID. It's the little ball with the little spikies on it that are actually spikes is what they're called. It's those proteins that are on the outside of the ball. Those are what the virus uses to grab onto us and give us the no nose. And so that version of it just has more of those spikes. So it's just like, are you serious? Because you said you found out the reason why I was more contagious. And
Starting point is 00:27:48 I was going to joke that it had more sharper spikes. Like that's like, that's like, that's the thing that the place my brain automatically goes to. But that's actually the reason. I don't really have to start it like because surely if it is that small anyway, you know, microscopic and it has those spikes. Does that mean if you at Hailey, it just slides around and you blow it out again like, what how does that work? Well, I mean, that's how that's how any of virus works is that you we ingest a lot of things that we don't need in our body, but it's only the things that actually grab hold and and then also are able to essentially multiply that cause problems. And so yeah, it's just, I guess if
Starting point is 00:28:25 it had like, because some viruses actually get less, there are their mutations actually make them less effective. But in some cases, mutations make them more effective, whether UK variant is good. So yeah, there are some versions of COVID, I would assume that have less spikes that just like they're the the slower members of the the class. Slippery. I guess that's how like a spestus is damaging, right? And like fibocross and stuff is that you are just inhaling spikes and they just get stuck. I saw the most horrific warning sign the other day. It was posted on Reddit and it looks like a graphic from Dead Space, the way it's like it's so disturbing.
Starting point is 00:29:11 But I guess it's a, I'm gonna go, I need to look it up, I need to find it again. But I believe it was a warning sign that they put near welding machines that warn you against inhaling molten metal. And it just looks like someone's lungs disintegrating and coming out of their mouth. I can't be the only person who when they saw like those kind of footage they were kid like on Sesame Street or something like that of how molten stuff like
Starting point is 00:29:38 that was made that you saw like the molten metal and you thought that looks tasty like I'd like to buy that. I never thought that. I don't want to eat anything that glows. I know you should it, but as a kid and you see that. Oh, shit. Oh my God. Oh my God, is just, is just come off. That's like something from dread.
Starting point is 00:29:59 That's like a slow frame image from dread of someone getting killed. When I saw that posted online, I thought, why did they post this? It just looks, it's from a video game, surely. And then in the comments, he was like, Oh no, that's a real warning sign. I like the idea of the artist making that.
Starting point is 00:30:14 It's like, right, we need to show like the ship flying out, the lungs getting destroyed. Should we put some splatter behind his head as well? Like it came out backwards too. Yeah, get that on there. That's great. Look at that image. Look at it, it's coming out the back of his head as well like it came out backwards to yeah got that on there that's great look at that image look at it coming out the back of his head as well it's so bad oh my god I like if I saw that warning sign like I would just leave the room like I would be like I don't whatever is
Starting point is 00:30:38 in I don't want to be in a near that right something that could do that to me now I'm good I'm leaving I always thought to be honest when you know the The warning icon for corrosiveness and it's just like someone's arm with like a divot mistake I always was quite satisfied. I was like oh That looks like super like oh, it's so neat Obviously wouldn't look like that with acid on your arm, but no, I always love that drawing Have any of you guys ever been scuba diving or taken scuba diving lessons? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:07 One of the first things they tell you is like if you get deep enough, don't hold your breath because your lungs could explode. Which as a... Less you. Because of the pressure and all that stuff. And I remember when we went underwater, I was so hyper focused on like, in, out, in. Yeah, I think it was just like,
Starting point is 00:31:30 as you go down, the air is compressed, but then as you come up, it expands. So if you breathe in low, or if you breathe in low and keep it and rise, it expands beyond the capacity of your lungs. Right. I was like watching, it expands beyond the capacity of your lungs. Right. Yeah. I was like, I got to, like I said the other week, I've been rewatching early seasons of
Starting point is 00:31:50 the amazing race. And there was an episode I saw the other day from season six where one of the challenges was they had to put on one of those old, timey dive suits, you know, with like the metal helmet and like the hose that comes in hooks into it. And they're they're explaining to the people putting it on. It's like once, you know, once you're ready to descend with your head, you have to hit a valve inside the helmet and that expels the excess pressure from inside your suit that way you can go down.
Starting point is 00:32:11 But they put the suit on one guy and his head, he can't hit the valve. So he's just like floating face down on the water in a fully inflated suit. He's like, I can't hit the valve, I can't hit the valve. It hurts and then I have to dive into the water and go retrieve him and release the pressure from the suit. This is scary.
Starting point is 00:32:27 I'm not sure I'm not sure I would scoop a dive again. I found it super high stress. Well, it was it wasn't the danger of like the oxygen like problems that could happen or was it just the actual general scare of the ocean. I think it's because learning to do it in the pool, it was very controlled environment, and the pool was only so deep. I did that one time, and then I was like 45 feet down
Starting point is 00:32:54 surrounded by sharks. The next time I did it, I was like, oh my gosh, that was for the immersion, right? Yeah, it was like five out of 10 to nine without doing anything in between. It was scary, but it was an experience. I wouldn't undo it. Yeah. Getting insane warnings during stuff like that reminds me of I hurt my knee pretty badly one time of a few years back of rock climbing, a couple years back, rock climbing and bouldering.
Starting point is 00:33:25 And so I was trying to do everything I could to expedite a healing process. I was trying out a few things. Now I wanted to go try out cryotherapy. And they had actually a cryotherapy, essentially truck outside of my bouldering complex. And so I went to try it out just to one off. And so to do it, if you want to do a full body cryotherapy session, you then are put into this giant standing tube that goes up to about your neck. And then it basically is going to immerse you in that cryo cold air for some amount of
Starting point is 00:33:57 time. You have to, what did you say? I said it's so metal. I don't know. I didn't just happen to cough at the bottom. Because of how the how cold it is, you have to take all your clothes off because you'll freeze your clothes and it also needs to get to your body as best possible. So you're down to your like, huh? Even your little Taja without.
Starting point is 00:34:22 You could they you could they said you could keep underwear on, but they wanted to much of your skin exposed. So I had underwear on, um, and, but then they also, I think that I'm also might have had little booties on because they feet weren't immersed as well. I can't remember. But they also, when they get you in, they're like, okay, when you're in there, it's going to be doing this for about, I think it's like two minutes, three minutes. It might have been somewhere on there. They said, you, but if you stand still, it could freeze and burn you.
Starting point is 00:34:48 So the entire time, you have to make sure you're moving a little bit in a circle. So as I'm standing at that thing, and it's got my arms on my side because it's just the size of your body. I'm just doing this the entire time. Just try not to get burned. As scared that I'm going to like burn off a very
Starting point is 00:35:06 important part of my body. I don't know. Is that like an emergency stop button in there if your skin frees is solid? I might have been I don't remember. It should have a turntable or something. Like a little microwave lazy season kind of. It just gets your. Boom. They should have that first spray tan booths because you got it. Like I've done spray tanning. I think twice in my entire life. And you got to remember like the various positions you got to go in and like you can't hear it over the speaker or anything that's happening. So you're like, okay, this position.
Starting point is 00:35:43 All right, then it beeps, you go to, was it this position, do I turn it, fuck, and is that seen from friends where Ross gets sprayed in the front like three times? You guys, you look like a check car from Final Fantasy when you do that, looks like the pose that they're always in, yeah. This episode of the RISC podcast is brought to by Purple.

I think he doesn't have to probably doesn't have to worry about his toddler Gavin because it's so cold it becomes an any I would assume. And it just goes away and hides for a little bit. I'm getting full and the target of very heavily pursuing a cold mailbox. Oh, I saw a headline about that.
Starting point is 00:37:42 I didn't want to read about it because I knew it was so stupid. It's not stupid, guys. Why did you read about it? What's the deal? I just hate the fact that Gavin was right. I hate it so much. It might fail. But the fact that they're even considering it, the fact that it's like a big company is even thinking about it, means there's like... They make stupid companies make stupid ideas all the time though. This just happens to be one of them.
Starting point is 00:38:07 I don't see on any level how this could be a bad idea. I just don't, it's tremendous. And now it's real. I'm gonna get one. The most annoying part is people keep sending it to me. A cold mailbox. Yeah, they're like, oh, look, Gavin was right. It's Walmart.
Starting point is 00:38:26 I'm lucky at the art of Walmart. Well, test grocery deliveries to a smart cooler on customer's doorsteps. Oh, how's it smart? Like it only comes on like it only waste electricity when they deliver something. It has a graduate degree. It is a BA. I was kidding. I said they're smart.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Dang, burn. I wouldn't mind when specifically, I don't know why Gavin, you're so keen on one, but Just kidding. I said they're smart. Dang burn. I wouldn't mind one specifically. I don't know why Gavin, you're so keen on one, but I would like it specifically for when I get food deliveries of like with ice cream and I don't and I might not be home. Because like if you have food deliveries that like you need to get stuff stay cold, like that's the only time I ever need it. But what other reason would you need it?
Starting point is 00:39:02 No, John, that's stupid, John. Why would anyone want that, John? It has three zones that can hold groceries at different temperatures, frozen, refrigerated, or room temperature. You want food to stay cold when you're not home? Just a spot to plan this. Just gonna plan this. Not really as much of an issue.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Now that everyone is working from home in this group. But I always, there's still like been times where like, it's just you have to, I have to, like, you know, I still have like times where I have to go drop off my kids and do swaps with them because I do that. And there's still errands that I have to go run on occasion, even even if it's just like, I'm going to be here in a stream for hours for hours and I'm not gonna be able to go out and get my groceries put them away immediately. Like I wouldn't mind if my ice cream didn't melt. I hate this thing, I'm looking at it right now. I fucking hate it.
Starting point is 00:39:54 If I see any, I'm gonna smash them. You don't go anywhere. I don't go anywhere. I'm gonna see it. What do you hate about it? I just hate that it exists. Because Gavin predicted it or just in general. Because, well, I hated it to begin with,
Starting point is 00:40:11 but the fact that Gavin predicted it doesn't help at all. It gets worse. So it's not that's why it's smart. It's secure contactless delivery. So I guess it's locked. They have to unlock it and you can unlock it with an app. It's temperature controlled and you can configure like the different size of the storage, how much you want frozen and how much you want not frozen.
Starting point is 00:40:29 And it disinfects deliveries. It's got UVC light technology, which disinfects the box by destroying pathogens, bacteria, mold and built you. Is it gust proof though? Like will it repel against you going around smashing the mold, you think? We'll find out if it's baseball bat proof or not. I'm not going to destroy anyone's property. I'm exaggerating a little bit. Here.
Starting point is 00:40:51 Guys, just get the fuck face. Get the fuck face bat. Smash a bunch of my boxes. I didn't show up in time to order one. Oh, I've got my. Oh, sorry. I didn't say it the right way. The face.
Starting point is 00:41:03 I don't have a fancy way Wait, do it again, G. Fuck face. F**k face. Not great. Look at my little back. Look at my g. Oh, it's so little. It's so cool.
Starting point is 00:41:17 It has my sg on the bottom. Oh, for Jeff. Do all of them have G? Wah. No, the number'd usually, but Jeff put a G on mine because it's the beginning of my name. Oh, he put the beginning of his name. I can let her. So yours has a.
Starting point is 00:41:33 I. Yeah. It's yours. It's yours. This small Eric. Yeah. Okay. Good.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Just checking. Did you. Oh, see, this is the problem that's been happening. The show's been really good. And it's been really fun. You mean with the paranoia that it has bred between Gavin, Jeff and Andrew has been incredible. And now it's bleeding to me. And it is stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:41:59 It's minor stuff like that where Gavin shows off his bat and then he goes, did everyone get this size bat or is this a prank a prank on that is what the show has become. All of the relationships are breaking down like from the original friendship of the three of us to like into the crew of Eric is that we all just can't deal with each other anymore. I feel like that's just been like if you're friends with Jeff, that's been like your entire life. It's been 22 years. I feel like a constant paranoia, right?
Starting point is 00:42:29 Oh, dear. It's been a long time. Just the other day, I passed the 23rd anniversary of when I moved to Austin. I've lived here a long fucking time. Wow. Damn, dude. I thought you were born in Austin.
Starting point is 00:42:43 I was born in Austin, but my parents moved. I only lived here for the first four years and I'm I look three or four years in my life. And I'm a parent. Are you are you counting those years, though? No. I'm saying I moved here 23 years ago. Consecatives. Yeah. Yeah. When you moved here, you like, it's good to be back. It's good to be anywhere, but the small town had grew up in. I'm not sure if I can do it. It's good to be anywhere, but the small town I grew up in. Compared. I was, I was like, I'm gonna say.
Starting point is 00:43:12 I'm ready. I'm ready. What? Oh, I'm supposed to talk about, I got, I got, he brought a fuck face. I got podcasts. I got podcasts. I got, I'm gonna have a podcast or I have one will be coming out soon. I wanted to tell people about the real cannon. It's it's a It's a great. It's all about the grint. I don't think we have a single episode dedicated to the Grinch yet. You sure?
Starting point is 00:43:39 No, it's a it's a collaborative podcast with No, it's a collaborative podcast with this guy named Charles Pullion Moore. We became Mutuals on Twitter because I found him a few years back and he just has the most entertaining and interesting takes and perspectives on all like nerd, genre, pop culture stuff. He's a writer for Iron Nine, so his job is to write about and conduct interviews and all kinds of about that entire genre. And so he's so just wildly interesting that we connected. And so we've made this podcast that is a weekly deep dive into that kind of culture where we're going to tackle a single kind of topic or IP. And not only
Starting point is 00:44:28 give a deep dive, you know, talk about where that piece of material came from, but also bring in a little bit of the conversation that happens in the communities because we both believe that like part of what makes these characters and stuff that we love like Marvel characters, Star Wars, DC, Pokemon, Digimon, everything like that, is obviously the people that are like making the hard concrete content for it. That's like released to the media and everything like that. But then also a ton of it is made valuable
Starting point is 00:44:56 because of the conversations that are had between the fans and those kind of conversations you would have at like conventions and stuff. I mean like Baby Yoda is half, you know, Favreau's baby and then half, everyone else is baby that we've all made and build up and that kind of thing. We must protect him.
Starting point is 00:45:15 We must protect baby Yoda. Baby Yoda, baby Yoda. I still want to be able to show him. Don't show him. This is not the real, now I'm out of focus. You can say it's not where you are. It's baby. There it is.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Baby fuckface. So it's the real canon. Our first episode is premiering January 22nd, and then we're gonna go all about WandaVision because that comes out on the 15th. Oh, I'm excited about that. Yeah. And there's, I think everybody's all about WandaVision because that comes out on the 15th. Oh, I'm excited about that. Yeah. And there's, I think everybody's excited about WandaVision
Starting point is 00:45:49 and we're so excited to even tell people like more of where WandaVision and that story's coming from because you, without even seeing the show yet, those people who like have like read the comics and that kind of thing, we're seeing a lot of stuff that's really interesting that's got us super excited about the next phase of Marvel if they're gonna take cues from this.
Starting point is 00:46:08 Charles is actually already seen the first three episodes because he got a press release of him and he is crazy about the show already. So the real canon. Do the grins. All right. If we are, we have a certain amount of episodes that have been Greenlit for like our first round. if we get past that we can discuss the grinch
Starting point is 00:46:27 But you know what I'm Gavin on you don't have this green lid John green the grinch That's a good point Excellent How would I feel like to be a person filled with so much wisdom gas like how do you handle that? to be a person filled with so much wisdom, Gash. Like how do you handle that? That's how. So people should already subscribe, right? They can already look forward on podcast
Starting point is 00:46:52 aggregation services. And that way they'll get the first episode as soon as it comes out. Yeah, first of all, it's the trailer is up. And so there's there's a RSS feeds you and spotifying iTunes. There's also Twitter account and Instagram account, real cannon pod on any of those platforms. Will you be putting trailers for this on the RSS feeds of other podcasts? I'm hoping we've reached out to a lot of our other friends in the
Starting point is 00:47:16 Rucetieve Podcast family to help get the word out and drop some trailers or give a shout-out whichever they want to do. I'm also going to be talking about this on off topic and film house. And so I really, I'm excited about this, not because it's just because it's my project, but I genuinely cannot wait to introduce people to Charles. He is insanely talented, hilarious, and he's got a beautiful radio voice. And so you're going to want to check him out.
Starting point is 00:47:47 I'm glad you remember. Are we going to be putting, sorry, I don't mean interrupt. Are we going to be putting the trailer for real cannon on the fuck face RSS feed? I feel like this. I feel like has that been decided Eric? No, it's been asked and I can't get a straight answer. This is this is this is smooth and not awkward. I'm not I don't feel terrible right now.
Starting point is 00:48:06 We have time right now if you want to just let me know, you know, yes or no, if we can just get the camera on John Wollgapp besides yes or no, that would be fine. I'm fine either way, I don't care. I do not want to be a part of this. I don't like mom and dad fighting. I love it. Oh, just do it.
Starting point is 00:48:21 She's like, do it. She like, she like, split it or is that at actual a face bit? Oh, no, absolutely do it. Just do it. Should I explain it? Should I explain it? Or is that an actual face bit? Oh, no, absolutely explain it. Like, I've already told Andrew that he's playing a game of chess and everyone else is playing jacks. And whatever outcome he's expecting isn't happening. Basically, in the face slack, Eric was like,
Starting point is 00:48:41 hey, we're putting this on all the podcast. There's a trailer for John's new show. You guys cool with putting it before, you know, in the face feed. And Jeff's like, obviously, yeah, of course, and I was like, I'm gonna say no, and you make and make Andrew the deciding vote. Because Andrew's obviously going to say yes because he's like he's a nice guy. Andrew Andrew comes in and goes I feel like Gavin is fully done this because he knows I'm gonna vote yes, so I'm gonna vote no So then we were like oh shit all right, and then we start getting other people to vote like Eric. Eric, Adi, Eric did a yes.
Starting point is 00:49:25 And now I think we've got so many people to vote. I think at some point it was three three. Because everyone wants it. They ever actually wanted to be in, but it's funny when someone puts no. So I think it's still undecided. What's the latest Eric? The decision is I keep going into the slatch and I'm going, Hey, are we doing
Starting point is 00:49:45 this? And Jeff goes, yes. And then Andrew goes, no. And I want to go for doing it or not. I think at one point, Andrew brought in his second slack account to vote no again. Oh my god. Oh my god. Jesus. But I assume in summary, yes, we should put it in. But it was a very funny conversation. It's a great thing. It's because, it's because, it's because, it's because, it's because, it's because, it's because, it's because, it's because, it's because, it's because, it's because, it's because it's because, it's because, it's because, it's because, it's because, it's because, it's because it's because, it's because, it's because, it's because, it's because, it's because, it's because

We we actually connected a little bit before the holidays
Starting point is 00:52:26 uh DMs to because I I want to play video games with him. I I find hilarious watching his Twitch streams on the rare occasions. He does it and I kind of got into war zone recently and I was like Andrew likes playing war zone like I love play with it. We had set up a date something happened in uh RL life and he had to go take care of and so we just haven't reconnected again. But up until now, I thought he liked me. He did, first he did you for Warzone and now he just want to put your trailer on his
Starting point is 00:52:54 harnesses. I think he likes you just fine, but I think he hates the rest of the fuck face crew and cast more so than that he likes you. Sorry, man. Look at the kitty. I'm glad you came on the podcast, John, and that you remember to plug the theme. So often, I'll ask people to be on the podcast
Starting point is 00:53:13 because I want them to promote something they have coming up. And then they just forget the whole episode. Like they never comes up. I'm like, you gotta talk about the thing. You're here for a reason to talk about your thing. And that's all right. Oh, yeah, I even made up a whole bit of like a game I wanted you guys to play. But I don't I think we've like probably run out of time to play the game.
Starting point is 00:53:30 I don't know. It was you only want John on this episode. So you could talk about real cannon. Well, I mean, that was the motivation behind getting him on this episode. I'm a word. I asked. Yeah. And I never asked for this kind of stuff. I am like, I hate asking people for favors or to do anything for me. Like even ask people to play like among us with me.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Anytime, if anybody's ever gonna invite for me for a mungus or anything, know that I have died a little bit every single time I've sent him as a guest and you. But it's so fun. I feel like I'm inconveniencing anybody even to ask them to like spend time with me. And as someone who has been asked by you to play Among Us, every time it happens, I go,
Starting point is 00:54:11 oh yeah, I'm being invited to do something by someone. Yeah. That's so sweet and so nice, but it doesn't mean anything to me because I assume just part of my psyche assumes that people don't want to hang out with me and don't want to participate in social interactions with me. And so that's something I still got to, you know, tackle and break down. That's my own problem. But just know that if I send you that, I'm like, I don't know why bother you then. I don't know. We did an Amonga stream with proximity chat yesterday. It was my first time
Starting point is 00:54:40 playing with proximity chat. That was a lot of fun. Is it way better that way? Is it more fun? It's so different. It's different. I would say it's more fun, especially from an audience perspective because people are talking the whole time instead of it just being like silent until the meeting. But then you end up with people who make strange conclusions.
Starting point is 00:54:57 Like at one point, we were playing. And Chris, like Chris found a dead body and he said, I found the dead body. I heard so and so's voice nearby. So I think they killed him. Like rather than thinking the killer was quiet, he thought just because he heard someone walking by that they must have performed, they must have killed it.
Starting point is 00:55:15 He's like, I think it was them. It's like, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, the killer just walking on, go ahead. Stab, stab, stab. Yeah, I'm murder. But it's also, Chris comes up with, he comes up with the craziest rational I could not go, stop, stop, stop. I'm murder. But it's also really good. He comes up with the craziest rationale
Starting point is 00:55:28 as to why people are the murderers every single game. Like there was one time where he was like, oh, I saw this person just like standing there and then all of a sudden lights went out. So like clearly they did that. And I'm like, you could sabotage while moving, first of all. The person was standing there because they were doing a task perhaps.
Starting point is 00:55:43 Like I don't know. I proximate chat, I find that way often if I'm a crewmate and I'm like very scared about like you know getting killed, I'm just running through the hallways of among a screaming. So people know where I am like a Doppler effect of like Dwarves Jeyon in the map. You were screaming and you ran to me at one point. You were like, save me, someone's chasing me. It's scary. Chase me, chase me. At one point, I was doing a task and it was one of those full screen tasks.
Starting point is 00:56:12 I could see what was happening around me. Then I heard Frado walk up and real quiet, he whispered, like, hey, how's that task going? I was like, Frado, and he killed me. I was playing among us with some other people last night. Some people were like live streaming while we were playing. And there's Guy Bace Trade. He was doing this thing where he was running and he's like, hold on, I'm going to go thank
Starting point is 00:56:34 some subscribers for some subs. So like I hear him walk away. I'm the imposter in this round. He goes, oh guys, thank you so much for the five subscriptions. Like I really put, and I kill him mid-thanks. So like when that happens in proximity chat, that person just like gets cut off completely from voice communication.
Starting point is 00:56:49 So just like comedic timing of just like, guys, thank you so much for five seconds. Oh god. Make sure to be a really funny clip from when she was playing with a bunch of people from Arti. I think she was with Trevor and Madness, who is someone we started playing with, and they were just hanging out together,
Starting point is 00:57:07 and they lost Madness at some point. So Meg was like, all right Trevor, should we go and find Madness? I'm like, should we go get Madness? Yeah, get Madness. But right, as they were saying, that Jackie walked up her, let's get Madness. And you just hit Jackie go,
Starting point is 00:57:23 oh my God, I think they cut her anymore, but on her stream. She's like it's trying right back It's trying to get madness Just to see how to go to the map for like two straight minutes. It was so fun. I had a And that's a really interesting where I was coming through It was you give us you and me Gus. We were coming out of the decontamination unit on the map We were coming down and as we we exited the gate down there, Barb accidentally vented out in front of us. And so I saw a Barb vent. And I freaked out. I didn't know where the button was, but I just started running around the map screaming, but that did, that did just screaming it. And
Starting point is 00:58:01 so it wasn't your child running around the map, screaming that it wasn't me with you at that time. You were. It was that brag. Yeah. The reason you remember me is because I was trying to cast it out because I was the other imposter. I was like, wait, where is that vent? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:58:16 Where are you talking about? Like I was trying to like draw the conversation out and like change the topic a little bit. Yeah. That was a red. I right. I accidentally vented when you guys were still in that decontamination hallway. And like Matt Bragg didn't see me somehow, but I like you did. And I don't I was like, I was just coming into the doors.
Starting point is 00:58:37 I don't know why you're telling me like, how do you get yourself out of that situation? Yeah. I mean, you let that in and see. So it's just crazy, John, who everyone didn't believe the entire stream. Speaker, didn't. Chris DeMaris, he's like, he's like, he said he comes to strange conclusions. He's also super unobservant in that game. At one point Matt Bragg was murdered right next to him and he walked by the body twice
Starting point is 00:59:02 after that and didn't, like, you didn't see it. Yes. It was he went to go fix lights and he was next to Matt's body and like the report button was up and everything like that. And he still just went, walked past the body, fixed the lights and then came back and was like, Oh, it's a body. And then he reported it. So man, it's always funny when when Trevor streaming that game like that other night, the same game that Gavin referred to with him and Meg talking
Starting point is 00:59:29 about madness. He was getting like super into it. And like I our rooms are like next to each other where we office. And I was watching the stream. And because there's that slight delay, I hear and feel what's going on in his room before it actually happens on stream. So there was one point where he was getting so, uh, like, worked up about a situation where he, like, got up and started, like, walking around his room because he was just, like, so aggravated. And I was just like, oh my God, what's happening? And I saw on stream that he was just getting pissed up and I was like, yeah, earthquake.
Starting point is 01:00:00 That's funny. I think we have some fun game. I think we have some proximity chat with the Chumahunter today. Or's funny. That's funny. That's a good stuff. That's a good stuff, game. I think we have some proximity chat with the Chumahunter today. Or. We do. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:11 For the last game. So that would go well, like right after this. One, one 30. The proximity chat app is a little buggy. That's the one downside is sometimes it freaks out and you can hear one person all across the map no matter where they are, or sometimes it like bugs out and you can hear one person all across the map no matter where they are, or sometimes it like bugs out and you can't hear anyone. Like you constantly have to alt tab to the app
Starting point is 01:00:31 and refresh it to update. I remember when we could hear Gus on the other side of the map like everything he was saying, like as though he was next to us. And I'm glad you warned me because I wasn't imposter that time. And I thought about like muttering to myself about killing people, and if I had started doing that then everyone would have heard it.
Starting point is 01:00:50 Yeah, I definitely heard that round. She's like, oh, it was someone's got a refresh. The the proximity chat app was just made by a fan of the game who wanted to make something for it. So it's very independently sour. So it's understandable if it's buggy, but yeah, I agree. Be cool if it was a little more stable. I'm sure they'll work it out. I'm sure like a future release is it'll, it'll just get better and better. I that somehow that game is, it's the same every time. But it's fun every time.
Starting point is 01:01:18 And I'm nowhere near getting sick of it. And I don't know how that's possible. It's the people, right? I mean, it's like the experience, like everyone you play with, it's always like the maps are the same, the mechanics are the same, but it's always like the experiences of what everyone else brings to the table, you have to deal with all the time. Very true, very true. I just, I love that game. I can't, I can't, I can't. I like it. If there's, if there's not people taking it too seriously, like some people have gone super far, like with some of the children have been streaming Children keeps a notebook when he plays
Starting point is 01:01:52 But at least children is like you know laid back in nature, you know, or like a yeah He won't get like Be like yeah Okay, we we're playing two different games here, so Yeah, it's it's always interesting though Like, I feel like the audience is split, especially with Gameplay and Gavin, I'm sure you notice this more than anyone here of just like they either like it when people take it very seriously and play the game to the rules very seriously, taking it like, you know, this actually means something.
Starting point is 01:02:21 And then there's the other half that's like, they're taking it too seriously. Just have fun. Like, why do they care about the rules and go blah? Yeah, that's, you got like somehow walked the line to kind of please both sides. Yeah, it's impossible to play exactly how someone wants to play it all times. I actually experienced a good example of that this morning while I was cooking breakfast. I throw our content and fun house content at your American to up while I'm like doing chores or cooking. And I was just listening in the background to your guys' lasso play. And I was in the episode, you and Alfredo were
Starting point is 01:02:55 just killing each other over and over again whenever anybody killed each other. He was killing me. Oh, Fredo was killing you. And it was funny because there was two games happening. It was Frado and you and then Michael and Jeremy. Michael and Jeremy were trying to actually clear the room and get past a bunch of nights and elites and like that. Frado was just waiting for something to die so he could kill you every single round and punch you with his gun or like that.
Starting point is 01:03:19 But and so there was like, those two games happening, but then those two games had to have had to stop because you someone brought up that there's going to be a time where you're going to accidentally hit the button where you ban Frado because it asked you time someone kills you. I think you killed someone on your team too many times the bootman he comes up where it's a point where you were going to accidentally boot Frado, which would have been detrimental to like wherever you guys were in your last shows, like a very difficult level or something like that. And so that would have like ruined the game and tons of like an hour or so of work already for a bunch of people. So it would have been a bummer. That's just a game on a game.
Starting point is 01:04:00 It's just a second game. Well, actually, happened though, is I didn't realize until there is that if you've spent half the game killing your teammate, like, Freddie did, every time you die by the environment, it still throws up the message for some reason. Really? So every time I was like, at the end, when I was trying to outrun the level in the ghost, every time I blew up or fell off the map,
Starting point is 01:04:22 I still got the option to boot Freddie. And one of the times it happened as I was trying to flip my ghost like I'd roll my ghost and the level was about to kill me. So I pressed X to flip the ghost right as the boot menu came up and it actually took me. Thankfully there's an are you sure like a secondary value where you have to press A. So it's actually really well designed where you're very unlikely to press X and A or X up on the D pattern A in that in that formation. But I actually I actually did hit X to boot accidentally on that mat. So by a, that was that that was at the end of that one.
Starting point is 01:04:57 Because that that was considered impossible for for for a last. So right? Yeah. I mean, either they've patched it or people don't know what they're talking about, but it actually wasn't very difficult. We spent most of that video. I haven't gotten to the end of it. Yeah, it was fine. Have you guys played this game Rust?
Starting point is 01:05:15 I played a little bit of it. I haven't played a ton of it. People keep talking about it and I have no idea what it is. I've seen it on Steam for years, but I don't know why everyone's playing it right now. I guess there's like, it's just, we're kind of like streaming.
Starting point is 01:05:29 Mungus didn't get released in 2018. Yeah, I think I'm also now 2000, like early 2000s. We're talking about the, 2013. I think it's one of the 13, I think it's made by Gary, Gary Newman, the guy who made Gary's mod. I think it's made by Gary, Gary Newman, the guy who made Gary's mod. I think it's made by his company because he tweeted the other day that on two separate days of the week, he made a million dollars on steam like it sales.
Starting point is 01:05:56 You can see the graph was like 600K million, 700K million. It's like, geez, people are buying that game right now. That's crazy. Wow, wow. Wow. I am. I'm just excited for the new Among Us map. I am. What is that coming out of? Humped. If they said early 2021. That's the thing said about the code back in two. And it's here Gus. Look at that. I hope we get the new Among Us map first.
Starting point is 01:06:23 What do you think you'll get first? The new monga smap? Or the vaccine. Yeah, it all is still says early 2021. Oh, well, yeah. I guess it's February March. I wonder if we'll come with new tasks. It's got to come in new tasks because they're each map has specific tasks. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:42 Yeah, it comes with new tasks. It also comes with like a new way to transport yourself from place to place like a new vent or like not a vent, but like a platform that moves. Yeah. Oh, it's also like multi level, right? Like you take stairs up and down between two levels like the two contamination units and how the doors and everything work like that. Like a transportation style. That's interesting. I like that. Oh, I can't wait to find a dead body on one of those. Just traveling or something like that.
Starting point is 01:07:12 Be funny if you're like, wait and get on it with someone else and you just see the platform coming. It's carrying dead bodies like what? I read a, I read, I think I, uh, cryptocurrencies back in the news again. It's been, it had a bit big run the past a couple of months and I read a story the other day about a guy who had Bitcoin on a hard drive from 10 years ago and he had encrypted the hard drive with this some software so that if you put the wrong password in 10 times, it he races the hard drive. But if you put the wrong password in 10 times, it erases the hard drive. And he's got Bitcoin on there and he can't remember the password. And he's tried eight times unsuccessfully. So he has two attempts left. The amount of Bitcoin he has on that hard drive is worth $240 million.
Starting point is 01:07:56 He has over 7,000 to 2 Bitcoin on that hard drive. And he's got Holy shit. Holy shit. So that's probably fluctuated by like hundreds of millions in the last two weeks, the value of that drive. Yeah, he says that he'll stay up at night. Like he keeps him up trying to think about what the password could be. I feel like you're gonna just take it to take it to the FBI or something.
Starting point is 01:08:24 He's got who's who can crack that stuff better than anyone else. Probably just a hacker, right? I feel like you're gonna just take it to the FBI or something. Who's got who's who can crack that stuff better than anyone else? Probably just a hacker, right? Probably if it's even possible. I think there was specific software that he used for it. I should look at software up. Is it like a randomly generated password or is it a password that he has used in the past that he knows?
Starting point is 01:08:42 And he just doesn't know which. He's just tried. I don't think he knows. Yeah, he said, I think he said like the first eight tries. He's tried like variations of passwords that he commonly uses and stuff like that, thinking it would be one of those. The fucked up thing is,
Starting point is 01:08:55 what if he wasn't like very focused on it at first and he typoed it? Like what if he typoed the correct password? Oh God. That's awful. You might as well just like offer it up and whoever can hack it gets like half. I can't imagine being like, yeah, I'm worth like a quarter of a billion dollars if I guess the password right on this. Yeah. It's like ready player one to the extreme. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I guess you could wait long enough
Starting point is 01:09:25 then maybe eventually there'll be like an exploit or a computer powerful enough to crack the password, but it's money that's sitting there right now. God, I would never forget myself. That was the case. If I just forgot a password, that's keeping me from a quarter of a billion dollars. So I feel like it would be better to spend your life never even coming close to that,
Starting point is 01:09:48 than knowing that you actually have it, you just can't access it. Yeah. That's going to be much less feeling. Yeah. Oh, that's strange. It's strange. Given what kind of charity you have, I know this is a random question, but it looks nice. This is a steel case. Is it steel case?
Starting point is 01:10:06 gesture. I think of some sort. I've had it for like four or five years. I like it. I don't like gaming chairs. I'll be honest. I don't like the whole thing. And this is like, I like it because it's you can just. There is a real nice and it's not just like the same logo print. Well, like a different logo print on the same chair like all gaming Chairs seem to be yeah, is that we know all the chairs could do this. I'm just like it's
Starting point is 01:10:34 My mind is like a 99 dollar staples chair. So I'm looking for something My's from staples too. I bought one of the, I think the second cheapest charred staples, like the cheapest one. I was like, no, this is too uncomfortable. So I went like one step up from the cheapest charred staples. I also speaking of purchases, guys, I have a confession to make after your last week's podcast. I bought myself a pair of AirPods masks.
Starting point is 01:11:03 That's true. I did. I was like, you know what? I haven't spent any money on myself this entire year. I haven't gone shopping in all the weeks. I haven't gone shopping in all the weeks. I know, but I was just like, you know what? I could use a nice pair.
Starting point is 01:11:16 I've been using these literally like ear. The free ones with the phone. Yeah, for a long time. And I'm like, you know what? I want to treat myself to a nice pair of headphones that I could use for podcasts and all the stuff since like, I'm using my headphones all day every day. So fuck it. What?
Starting point is 01:11:32 It's a good question. Do we have the same headphones? Still series arc to sevens. I think I know that still series and they have like the little thingy with the battery. Yeah. And you quit. I see that yours has a light. If you if you like turn on the, where's the button for the microphone?
Starting point is 01:11:50 Like they're the mute. Yeah. Where is it? See? Oh, shit. I just connected to my, I connected to my phone. Damn it. When the, when you're, when are your headphones coming in barber? How long does it take?
Starting point is 01:12:03 It says, it says like March, but what is the controversy of Barbara getting those? I don't understand. They're very expensive. I mean, I think like initially when they came out, all of us were just like, holy fuck, like those are expensive. And I didn't think like I would ever spend money like that on anything, but suitcase looks like a girl.
Starting point is 01:12:24 The Barbara that actually, there's way more expensive headphones. Yeah, I know. I think it's just because like people associate expensive apple things as being like too expensive just because they're apple. Yeah. Like as people are essentially willing to spend more money because of the branding and stuff like that. But like I watch some reviews. It's because they are. They are. I know. I recognize that. But I watched some reviews. And I was just like, you know, these are nice. They look good. They reviews are great for them. Why? So when you when you fly again to, yeah, for a planes one day, I'm hoping I'm hoping
Starting point is 01:12:55 I can make some more. So good. I'm going to wait until my bows die before I consider my any. So I had some bows once that I've had for a few years. And they started coming. They started falling apart, which is another reason that motivated me to get these like the the soft inner ear cushion part That's the stitching on it has started coming undone. So it was like slowly unraveling Yeah, I had these razor ones before and there's a dial on it that adjusts the volume and I don't know if it if it broke or something But like it has to be perfectly like in a perfect spot on this little dial I don't know if it broke or something, but it has to be perfectly, in a perfect spot on this little dial. And if it's not, I only hear people in one ear,
Starting point is 01:13:31 or not at all. That happened to have a pair of headphones I have. I think that's a common wiring issue with those kinds of setups. Not working on headphones, but that same kind of setup. That's also just like the idea of having a Bluetooth, so I could be on a call and still hear people
Starting point is 01:13:45 while I'm moving about. I got a resty all the time. Yeah, that's nice. Do you see Razer put out that mosque with RGB? I did see. It's a proof of concept, but yeah, I did see it. It's like clearing the front so you can see people's in my house in case you need to read lips.
Starting point is 01:14:01 And I think it can project your voice. Yeah, it's got a microphone to speakers. Mosque tech. Yo, I'm not, I'm not going back for masks after this all goes back to normal at all. I'm still I like no germs. I love no germs. It's great. I keep it. I was just thinking about this the other day like because we're taking these precautions, Norem masks and not going out like I'm getting, I haven't caught a cold or any other sickness all year. Allergies. That's all I get is allergies.
Starting point is 01:14:28 Just allergies. Yeah, but like, damn, I didn't even think about that. How like people aren't getting the cold or like strep throat or like. Do you remember that one year at our South by Southwest party where everyone got sick? It was still down South at Ralph Oblinato. Something happened. That was the worst sore throat of my life. It was like, did we have a super spread out event? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:49 It was on the 20th of October, 2013, and everyone, almost everyone, 90% of everyone got sick and was sick for a week after that. What a fucking nightmare. It was the party where randomly scumbags Steve showed up. That was I think 23rd.
Starting point is 01:15:08 This is 2013, maybe. Yeah. It was a strange time. Yeah, man. I remember parties hanging out, having baves and miss those. I miss those. Now, all right. Well, that's maybe I love it. Well, we should probably go ahead and wrap this up. So thanks everyone for watching. We'll be back live again next week. I love it! Well, we should probably go ahead and wrap this up. So, thanks everyone for watching. We'll be back live again next week,
Starting point is 01:15:30 and we'll see you all then. Maybe we'll have a party together. Take care. Bye. Bye. music. Do you like apples? All right, example. Together in Trempit hosts, Characans, Characans are free to do deals of nothing to do with this podcast.
