But if I moved out, if I moved out of the police in LA, and I had, and he, and I,
you're bringing it back up, dude.
I lived there for three months.
You're bringing it back up.
And I had, I bought four sticks of butter and you heard that.
Yeah.
Would your reaction to the fact that even though I was only living there for three months and
I bought four sticks of butter, would your reaction have been, why did you buy four sticks of
butter?
Listen, you go through butter.
We have a regular podcast coming up after this.
I guess I don't.
Jen Locke is premiering this Saturday,
so we want to talk a little bit about Jen Locke
before we get into the main podcast itself.
So we're pre-recording today, the podcast.
So when we were recording this right now,
the trailer just came out.
It just came out like landed this 20.
20 minutes ago.
Yeah, fantastic.
But before we get into the awesome gen like
that we're all here to promote and excited about,
what's wrong with butter?
Why did he make the, uh, is it mad?
He was mad that I bought four sticks of butter.
He thought it was like this gross thing that I did.
Dude, I want to,
the thing was you can buy less than four sticks.
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,
you are going back on the, you were right.
And we're not talking about this anymore.
You have reopened the door,
and we're gonna continue talking about this.
I have been letting this rest
based after podcast 500.
This is on you now.
One thing you know,
your Genlock is a great show.
I'll be honest with you guys,
I've switched over from stick butter to Irish butter
because it's supposed to taste better.
And it comes in a brick.
So I don't even know sticks.
I know nothing about sticks.
No, no, you know what you can do.
You've weighed in and listen.
But I didn't know where do you go to HB.
I'm all my all my content is that you can buy less
and four sticks of butter.
You can buy one or two.
You're saying it was Peter and Hayes.
Even posted the video clip that say me saying you can
buy it in one or two sticks.
You're where you change the argument. You're reaction to me having four sticks of butter was the thing you called where do you buy a stick of butter?
You can I'll show you I'll show you special butter store
No, no
Hey, hey send your single stick of butter don't please pictures to Bernie tweet them to him non-stop
Just tweet go to the store and find the butter take a picture of your butter aisle and send it to Bernie, tweet them to him nonstop. Just tweet, go to the store and find the butter. Take a picture of your butter aisle
and send it to Bernie right now.
And then as soon as you're done, watch Jen Locke,
January 26th, for a very exclusively on Ristartee.
At me on those tweets, I wanna see
this as a single six of butter in a store.
We act over the top, he called me a fat greasy fuck.
I'm back to Jen Locke.
What are we doing here?
I'm okay.
All right, so there was a question I saw.
There was a question I saw.
I think it was on Reddit, or maybe it was on Twitter.
Somebody asked me like, what was the path the Gen Lock took
to, it's our biggest show.
Like this is biggest thing we've ever made.
This is the biggest thing we've ever made.
Yeah, in terms of like,
yeah, buddhist and scope. With all due respect, everyone here, the cast is a little more
renowned than our usual cast. How dare you? I'm insulted. Sorry. Making my butter and whatever
quantity they want. And it's definitely our biggest budget show. We should also the length of
the episodes are starting off with 34 minute episode. I think it's okay to say we should have also the length of the episodes are, it's starting off with. 34 minute episode. I think it's okay to say it.
We should have asked Michael P. Jordan
how he vices butter.
What, you can see there's a full length.
We should have had him weigh on on that.
Yeah, yeah.
Eric, make that happen.
That's told we're never talking about it yet.
That man has a perfect physique.
Michael P. Jordan?
Yes.
It's, you wanna hate him, but he's so likable, you can't.
Did I, I tried to give great an idea?
He won the gene pool.
Yeah.
Well, it's also, I would imagine a whole lot
of fucking hard work.
Oh, one word assume he, that he makes,
there's an ounce of effort involved as well.
I mean, I assume that it's a lot of work,
but even if I worked that much, I could never achieve that.
If you mirrored, if you and Michael
be Jordan with the exact same age,
you're given the same neighborhood wherever he grew up,
I, for some reason I'm gonna say Chicago,
but I might not be right about that.
Eating the same food.
Eating the same food, going to the gym.
Doing all the same shit.
I could follow him for five years.
You would not look like him.
No.
No, no, no.
When you get close.
But that doesn't mean that like all the work you're paired with.
They can't make that.
He also doesn't wake up looking like that.
Gotta put in the hours in the gym.
You gotta put in the hours in the gym.
That's the same thing.
We also have another show coming down the road,
not to mix messages here, but spike face.
Rob McLeanie from Oh, he's sunny.
What the, they should make an Emmy for changing your body type.
Yeah, no kidding.
He gained like 80 pounds and now he's like,
like a Calvin Klein model.
There should be like one of those,
like you know how they have like the lifetime awards,
like the Cicabita Mill award or whatever.
There should be like the Christian bail award that they give to people that have
gone through the most radical physical fantasy.
Christian bail gives it out.
Or the Matt Damon award.
Christian bail Robert Jnero.
Yeah.
Just give that award out.
And they have to look different every time they give it out.
Yeah.
What I read was he grew up in Newark.
New York.
New York.
New York is like a Chicago.
New York.
He grew up in Newark, New Jersey.
That's why he looks like that.
He was fighting for his life every day.
Have you ever been to Newark?
I've never been there.
I've only flown into Newark.
It's a nice place.
I'll tell you, man, I lived in New Jersey for like two years.
And when I lived there, there was a ton of punctures and stuff in Newark.
And everybody was like, dude, don't go to Newark.
Don't go to Newark.
Whatever you do, don't go to Newark.
And I'm like, I'm fucking tough.
I'm a punk rock, dude.
I hopped in my car and I spent a Sunday driving around Newark
and I left Newark and said, I will never come back here again
as long as I live, and I never did.
So the story of Genlock was we were looking for a follow-up to Ruby,
like a big new animated show.
Yeah, and so we do one thing at the company called Pitch Fest
where everyone at the company, it's two days a year,
it's actually four days a year, it's two sessions a year,
two days each, where anyone in the company can pitch an idea for a show they want to make.
Anything at all. Yeah. Uh, this was not part of that.
This was a more formal part of the animation development and that we were presented
these different shows. We all saw Genlock and just thought it was such a great idea for a show.
And then Michael Bejorton, who then led, I think to putting the show really on the radar
and helping us cast a lot of other people.
It was just, we saw the tweets,
gray in particular, we all saw the tweets
and gray came up with this idea
to reach out to him and contact him.
And I can't tell you exactly what he did,
but together this little package to present to him.
And Michael B. Jordan was like, he's an anime fan.
And when he saw, he said, I wanna be a part of this part of this and his casting, but we're also producing it with his production
company as well.
So that's in two seconds, the story of how GenLoc came to be.
It was already a show that was in production by Risha Jeet, but it really went to the next
level when Gray established that relationship with Michael B. Jordan.
So it's great.
It's great.
It's great.
We've been working on it for such a long time.
The animation department has just grown by leaps
and bounds not just in terms of like the people,
the number of people they have working there,
but what's capable of doing?
Really, really excited about Genlock.
I'm excited for everyone to finally get to see it.
It's unbelievable.
And I'm so happy that it's finally gonna be out there.

That's the way it is this model. All right, so check out Genlock, January 26th,
and if you haven't seen it, here is the trailer for Genlock.
Oh, and stick around after the trailer
because there's a mediocre podcast following it.
Completely mediocre. I like Jones. Hey, everyone.
Welcome to the RST podcast.
This week brought to you by 23 and me, the zebra and ring.
I'm Gus.
The zebra.
I'm Jeff.
I'm Bernie.
I'm Gus.
Yeah.
The zebra.
We'll talk more about them later though.
So I want to get somebody right away as quickly as possible.
Ken, there's a reason why I want to get it out of the way quickly.
Now, it's right here in front of me.
I have a 12 pack of canisters of planters cheese balls.
Not Cheetos.
Not Cheetos balls.
So here's where this came from.
Here's where this came from.
There's a friend Ella who does runs video at Buzzfeed.
And she did oddly enough in her Twitter account,
she did like a very Buzzfeed thing,
which is like, maybe she was mining for an article
or something like, hey, what's your favorite snack?
Trash, like basically trashy snacked from when you were a kid.
And I looked at the thread,
because I was kind of curious about it.
And it turned out people posting a bunch of like,
defunct, no longer produced snacks.
And the one that I remember from when I was a kid was
planter cheese balls.
So I just like, quick Google image search for planters,
cheese balls, I get an image of the can, and I post it.
And then I noticed it's got this little seal here, Jeff,
on it, it says, it's back.
It's back.
So it's gone.
It's back.
So they brought these back for a very limited time.
It's a limited edition, re-release of this snack.
That's a good business.
Yeah.
But I just happen to see the Twitter like weird coincidence.
I would have never sought this out, but got it.
So I thought, oh, I wanna try these,
but I could only order them from Amazon in packs of 12. So that I'll just do that, I'll have never sought this out, but got it. So I thought, oh, I wanna try these, but I could only order them from Amazon in packs of 12.
So I thought, I'll just do that, I'll have a couple.
I opened one can, I had a couple,
and I was like, oh, those are really good.
Like I remember, 10 minutes later,
I've eaten through two cans of these things.
I'm like, I gotta get these to my truck.
Oh, fuck, away from them.
So let me ask you a question real fast,
because right before the podcast started,
you asked me how keto was good.
That's why I asked.
How's your keto go?
Not going very well.
There's 30, you can eat 37 of those fuckers,
because I looked it up, before I did the promo.
37 of those is 18 grams of carbs.
Here's the good thing though, because I was eating,
so you can eat 10 or, you can eat a handful
and not have a problem at all.
This is a handful, can't.
Yeah, but I'm in one hand.
I'm militant with my keto.
Like if I can, you can have up to,
for people that don't know,
militant with my keto. Like if I can, you can have up to,
for people that don't know, it's a no carb,
or a very extremely low carb, no sugar diet for the most part.
So basically, you can-
Keto gen-
Invegibles, yeah, ketogenic.
But I, you can have up to 20 grams of carbs a day.
I try to go for zero.
When you started, you probably could have had more.
I probably could have had more.
For your macros, but 20 is like this weird benchmark
that everyone uses.
I figure it's easier to count zero
than it is to try to keep up the, keep up the,
keep up the, throughout the day.
So I just avoid, I don't even try to get to my 20.
I just, I try to get as close to zero as possible.
Right, I'm gonna get some of you good then.
Uh, dude, I eat good food still.
I eat a lot of steak and I,
it's also forced me to cook at home a lot, you know?
It is, which is as a single parent,
you don't do that a lot.
So you can get a lot of calories really quickly in keto.
If you have to pound through calories, you can do it.
But then over time, what happens is you find that
it's hard to go back to the same foods
to get those calories you need in a day
because you've had steak for the billion times
or ground by him or bacon is always the go-to.
I am no longer excited about steak
in any form, in any capacity.
You sous vide it?
I sous vide, I've gone through it here.
I'm not excited about brisket or I get excited
about other meats, I get excited about turkey now because I just overloaded
What's turkey stand a fat because you need if you need keto is it's twofold it's low-carb and high fat
But it's also high fat because then it puts your body into this mode where it's kind of what your body does
Wouldn't it indicates that it's dying where it'll just start or you're starving it'll burn through fat and that's it's called
Keto genit because it produces ketones.
And that's what burns to the fat.
And you put your state of ketosis to buy product.
Could you take turkey and then like deep fry it then,
because that's just adding fat to your turkey then.
But it's what you deep fry it in.
It is what you deep fry it in.
Avocado oil, bring it on, do it.
But if you go to Starbucks and you say,
can I get a coffee, if you normally get milk in your coffee,
you have to ask for full cream is the way they
just turn it into a man.
Or you can do that,
unless you're like me and you want a frilly milkshake
because you're comfortable with yourself.
You just get the full cream one.
You know, it's funny,
you said the coffee thing came up
because I was just having a
that you let add what's wrong with you.
But I haven't seen it.
I was just having this conversation
with someone the other day.
And it's an interesting thought exercise.
When you think about somebody who's given you
the least or smallest amount of advice in your life
that's had the longest impact.
When I was 18, I was in the army.
I had never drunk coffee in my life.
I think I'd maybe tried it once as a kid and it was gross
and it was the thing for grownups.
And I was in Fort Ben Harrison, no longer there in Indiana.
And it was the coldest winter that had like 40 years
and it was negative 20.
And I got to sign duty driver
because all the people were at a field exercise
for like a week.
And I was on these 18 hour shifts
where I would have to drive back and forth
this van in the snow.
And it was very stressful. I was scared I was going to fall asleep in the snow in a van and kill people.
And so I was like, I, and my buddy was like, you should start drinking coffee.
It'll keep you awake. And I was like, okay.
And then this one dude who was just in the duty room, I don't remember his name or anything,
at the time, I was trying to figure out like how I take my coffee.
And he goes, I'm going to give you a hint. It's going to change your life. And I go, okay and he goes, I'm gonna give you a hint, it's gonna change your life.
I go, okay, he goes drink your coffee black.
And I go, it's gross and he goes,
learn to drink it black, your life will be easier
from this point on.
I was like, okay.
You never have to worry about it.
So I started drinking a black and I was thinking
about the other day, popped into my head
and I was like, my mother fucker was right.
My life is easier because I drink black coffee.
You know, it's like by creamer.
I don't have to like that.
I don't have to deal with that stuff.
I don't have to worry about the conversation. I don't have to like, creamer, I don't have to. Deal with that stuff. I don't have to have a conversation.
I don't have to be like, oh, no one's simple syrup.
I really like whatever.
I don't, I don't, any of that shit.
I just like, get it and go.
Well, it's a lot easier now.
Like now when you order, if you like go to like Starbucks
and you can order in the app,
you don't have to tell anyone.
It's the same.
It's like, bam, bam, bam.
This is exactly how I want it.
Yeah, no, no, that's true.
I love, I used to never be picky
because I didn't want to go through the human interaction. But now that it's like an app interaction and I have to tell anyone, I can be as picky as I want it. No, no, no, that's true. I love, I used to never be picky because I didn't want to go through the human interaction,
but now that it's like an app interaction
and I have to tell anyone,
I can be as picky as I want.
Like what you were talking about,
like requesting full cream or any of that stuff,
not-
Heavy splash?
Not a worry.
Not a worry at all.
Yeah, that Starbucks app's really good.
Just the key.
Like a coffee lid go.
It's the same, the coffee's not in your gut door.
Yeah, out the door.
Don't you wish though it's Starbucks?
Don't you wish they just had the things
where you could serve yourself?
Yeah. Because they have the self-serve things that just had behind the door. Don't you wish they would Starbucks? Don't you wish they just had the things we could serve yourself? Yeah.
Because they have the self-serve things they just had behind the counter.
So I get a lot of coffee at Whole Foods honestly.
Uh huh.
Because you go to Whole Foods, you just make it yourself and you're right there and you just
buy it.
Bang and dinner.
You know, it's really good.
I prize efficiency more than anything else.
No, but I don't have something money, but I, you know, take these Cody.
Come here.
Drap.
Get some T-Stoots balls out of here.
He's starting to get the urge.
They're all yours.
Ted, look, they're in my peripheral vision. I'm starting to get the urge. They're all years. Ted look at there in my peripheral vision
I'm gonna start eating. I can't help Cody
Dude Cody you remember him from the podcast Cody fucking awesome. We were filming some live action stuff today
Cody was helping out a team on a he was he lit a shot for us. Oh really? Yeah, it was cool
Cody sure here
Resident eSports expert whenever I need to know anything about eSports. They go to Cody
so anyway
Think about it in the back of your head throughout the course of this podcast
and see if anything pops in the mind of like a moment
in your life when somebody gave you a tiny piece
of advice that had ripple effect.
I kind of covered one last week on the podcast
where the guy who used to work for Anthony.
Yeah, I mean, I didn't want to say
because it's gonna say what he does.
He carries, he always has cash on him.
Yeah, and it's like cash is important
because when he does a transaction,
like he's like if he stops and he's buying,
I don't know what he would be like a saddle.
Somebody's selling a saddle on the side of the road
because he's an old school cowboy,
you know, or somebody selling something.
He always said that you could,
if they were selling something for $800,
you can show them $600 in cash.
And when they see it, they just say yes.
Your inclination when you see cash is to just say yes.
Yeah. So, and it's like, I started see cash is to just say yes. Yeah.
So, and it's like, I started carrying cash as a result of that.
Whereas it goes against everything else I do.
Like, I hate wires, I hate clutter, I hate everything.
So you'd think like, I would try to go as digital
as possible with my money, but I will still always care.
I dragged my feet on all that digital payment stuff.
Like Venmo or...
You tried your feet on digital boarding passes too.
You got a weird thing.
I did.
I waited until there was a standard and it worked fine.
He got Jeff, he was worried he would get to the gate,
you know, the door and he'd beep or something
and it was his wouldn't work and that he would cause an issue.
Yeah, or I have to go back and print the fucking thing.
I had that recently.
This, the, I love this iPhone watch.
I watch or the fuck you call it.
Apple watch.
It's awesome, Apple watch.
Just want to say Jeff's on the Rishi podcast, he
immediately starts complaining about Apple product.
No, I don't know if it's an Apple product.
It was an Apple problem.
But just like in the air, anytime I put that,
I put my barcode on my, or like RFD code on my,
on my QR code.
What is your QR code?
QR code.
I'm whatever.
I'm an old guy who doesn't know stuff.
It never works on my phone, on my watch,
and then I have to use my phone.
100%, I've never zero, zero to set success rate.
I do, I've quit trying on my watch,
because it's embarrassing,
because of what you described
has happened every time I try to do it.
And I'll see you dude in front of me go,
all right cool, boop, and I go,
that's the day, boop, boop, boop.
I give my phone. I I'm not with Apple Pay. Like Apple Pay, I try to use it everywhere where they have Apple Pay, which basically
use your phone as contactless credit card.
And it's like, oh, look at this.
And then I'm like doing this shimmy shit and I can't get it to go.
I could only get it to work at jobages.
Is that it?
And now I know you don't use your watch.
What?
You don't use the watch. I guess I can use my watch.
I've started using the watch for all that.
I've found a thought you should.
I found a thought you should.
I found a thought you should.
I found a thought you should.
I found a thought you should.
I found a thought you should.
I found a thought you should.
I found a thought you should.
I found a thought you should.
I found a thought you should.
I found a thought you should.
I found a thought you should.
I found a thought you should.
I found a thought you should.
I found a thought you should.
I found a thought you should.
I found a thought you should.
I found a thought you should.
I found a thought you should. I found a thought you should. I found a thought you should. I found a thought you should. I found all my Apple. My laptop, my new Apple laptop is phenomenal. The point we made about it was we bitch about Apple because it's what we use.
Well, we don't switch to Android because we don't like it. I hate it. I think it's clunky and
garbage. I have, dude, I tried briefly. I have a YouTube very kindly gave me a free pixel too.
That's what it's called. That's the exact same reason that I changed. They did the same thing.
We went to that same event.
Yeah.
You're a part.
And I tried for like two or three weeks,
and I just, I don't know, maybe I'm just,
you just, you had a free brand you know.
Yes.
But I had a 128 gig Pixel 2 right when they came out
that everybody was clam, like excited about.
And I used it for maybe two weeks
before I went back to my phone.
There's, I don't even think I talked about it anywhere,
because it was just such a non-event.
But there's a weird thing we established back in the day,
it was kind of an unspoken thing we all established
when we started appearing on cameras, personalities,
or on microphones where we don't tell other people
not to like the things they have.
We bitch about the stuff we use,
we complain about the stuff in our lives because we use it.
But the reality is, I think it's way better than Android,
but I'm not gonna sit on the podcast and tell people that Android sucks because they use Android and they use it. But the reality is, I just, I think it's way better than Android. But I'm not gonna sit on the podcast and tell people
that Android sucks because they use Android and they love it.
That's why it sounds like we bitch about Apple a lot.
Because we use it.
It's what we use. It's what we use.
It's what we use. Yeah.
Yeah, I'm not gonna sit around and complain about Android.
Because it's just being shitty to something
that somebody else likes.
And I'm just not gonna...
I mean, if you're gonna bitch about it,
then it would be something you would have used.
Or you'd have...
I used it moved away from it, but I'm not like an arant about that.
Every time I talk about Apple. I tried to use it once when Google 5 first launched. it would be something you would have used. Or you'd have, I used it moved away from it, but I'm not like an arant about that every time
I talk about that.
I tried to use it once when Google 5 first launched,
and I don't remember what phone it was
that came with Google Fight only worked with one phone
at the time, but I opened up the box, went to,
was that scam like Google Fiber?
What?
No.
Google Fiber.
I went to set it up, I turned it on,
and I had to reinstall the OS out of the box.
I was like, what, and I just immediately got off
on the wrong foot with that device.
I remember, who knows, but I just got a dud
in the mail or something, sent to me or something.
I changed offices recently.
All my USB ports on my computer died in the move,
got a brand new computer,
having happened to like five or six years.
What, great.
Wasn't that the Sikker computer that Adam Beard didn't recognize?
Was like, what is his computer, why is it a Rishcheath?
Yeah.
I just brought a personal computer from home
because I brought in at the time,
a computer that I thought was over the specs of what
Ruse your teeth would buy.
Or should be, yeah, obligated to buy, you know?
So I, so Adam Baird was like,
I'm a leader from five years ago.
What?
You had a top of the line computer for five years.
From five years ago.
Is this the one we argued about whether or not
had blue tooth on it?
Yes. Okay.
And he did it.
No. Now my new one does, and it's fucking great Bluetooth on it? Yes. And you did it. No.
Now my new one does.
And it's fucking great.
All right, fair though.
For my keyboard.
You know computers have Bluetooth, all right?
OK, sorry.
I knew they had Bluetooth too.
You said desktop didn't.
That was a whole argument.
Mine didn't.
Mine will, mine desktop didn't.
That's what you said in general,
desktops did not have Bluetooth.
That was your claim.
So it was the S the theorem.
You should have said desktop doesn't. What doesn't What doesn't your desktop computer my desktop. Yes
It's very specific I never buy I never look for stuff that has Bluetooth in it
But now I do because I use bluetooth stuff so I need a little
Like it's a way to get rid of all the wires you put your about that a little nope get the little nap
So this is the only time I see you guys.
You left it me this morning.
I did.
I did laugh at you this morning because you proved the point for me.
I was at the point was people who drive Teslas have to throw stuff away.
No, no, no, no, the point is I was pulling the end of the parking lot.
Somebody was giving me a ride to work and they said, oh, look, there's a Tesla.
And I go, oh, that's either Gus or Jordan or Becca or Jack or any of those people.
And then I go, oh, wait, they're throwing stuff away at the dumpster and their hazards
are on its Gus.
100% I guarantee you it's Gus.
That's a Gus move.
And we pull up and sure enough of his Gus was fucking awesome.
Why, why, with the, why you throw on stuff away, we're not a Tesla owner.
That's correct.
Yeah.
Um, it was just, I had broken down a bunch of boxes.
Do you do like bird scooters?
You have, you can't say a lot. I'm of boxes. Do you do like bird scooters? You have you can't say.
I'm a scooter anymore.
What do you mean more anymore?
I upgraded to the Uber bikes.
I saw I saw the set up.
Instead of letting the scooter do all the work, at least on an Uber bike, I'm pedaling.
At least on the Uber bike, you're not flipping over and crashing out.
Yeah, I'm I am all in on those Uber bicycles.
There was a story.
Yeah, I think it'm all in on those Uber bicycles. There was a story. Yeah, that's before.
I think it was in the Austin suburb at the other day,
but I never thought about this,
but it was someone who gets help from the text school
for the visually impaired,
you know, which is not too far from here,
talking about how what a problem the scooters are
because now they're just in the sidewalk.
Yeah, and people are visually impaired.
Yeah, don't see them as something I'd never considered.
I kind of thought it was senseless bitching
until I read that.
I go, that's, that makes sense.
Yeah, that makes sense.
It's only getting worse downtown too.
We now have, we have, we started with Bird
and this is your downtown awesome report.
We started with Bird and Lyme.
And then Lyme went 2000 over the amount
they were allowed to have downtown.
I don't know if you guys saw that.
2000 units.
They were allowed to have 5000 units
or they were allowed to have 7,000 units downtown
and they got caught with 9,000 units.
Who can do that?
Yeah.
The city.
And so they had to submit numbers, whatever, and the city goes through 2000 overs, they
negotiated a deal where they had to remove a thousand.
And so they just took that thousand and put them in neighborhoods around town, which is
why you see lime in weird places all over town now.
City let them have a thousand more than they were supposed to.
They broke the rules by having two thousand more,
and they compromised with it, they could have one thousand more.
Yes, and, but on top of it, but that was lime,
so that was, it was lime in bird world.
Then Uber hit the market.
Then Lyft hit the market.
Lyft test.
Then there's one called a flip scooter down there,
and then yesterday when I went home,
there were four of them parked in front of my condo
that are unicorn scooters
So there's like six different brands of scooters downtown all vying for your
Attention and apparently it's a unicorn and it has a fucking light up you like unicorn
Like it's unicorn or a horn. Yeah, okay, it's unicorn so and I was gonna go
I was gonna the other definition of unicorn. I tried, it's like, it's super like,
let's floppy.
Let's floppy.
Let me think about this.
But the electric powered Uber bicycle is phenomenal.
Wait, is electric power?
Yeah.
So you aren't doing all the work.
You're not doing all the work.
But while you're doing the work when you're just riding,
but if you go uphill, it kicks in,
and then it makes it easier to go up hills and stuff.
So it's like 60% of the work of riding a bicycle,
which is still a hundred percent more
worked in a new one on a scooter.
You got a balance on a scooter.
It works your core.
It doesn't.
It does though.
I've written a lot of this fucking scooters.
I'm trying to see now he admits it.
You say, looking at it down.
I said I've upgraded.
I used to use them all the time, dude.
You're a bird rider.
If I want to run,
if I want to get from my condo to a movie at the Alamo Ritz,
really fast, no faster way than hop on a scooter
Just a lot of faster ways, but okay, sure why not?
I get driving there's not faster. Get in a bike.
I'm like a park downtown.
If the bike is available, I will say bike. Obviously.
Why don't you have a skateboard? I rode that bike. I rode one of those Uber bikes last, not last weekend, but we can before 55 miles.
Casey Neistat electric skateboard, that's you.
That's what you gotta get.
Come on, those things seem like death traps, man.
I'm too old for an electric skateboard.
Yeah.
So you should be like,
why can't you know how dangerous it is?
You know what, Ren?
Rides, remember, Ren from the,
Ren the Reaper, he was a big member of the community website.
Now he's one of the main dudes in the Florida,
original.
He has that one wheel.
Seems like you would like that.
No?
Don't they have something that are easier to write now?
Like they do auto balancing and they've gyros in them.
I see those motherfuckers going around downtown.
They're at least deadly, dude.
Yeah.
I'm kind of old.
You just don't want to wear a helmet.
I don't think I'll wear a fucking helmet.
Yeah, see you there you go.
That's a problem.
I feel, yeah.
Well, I'm going to calculate something really quickly though. 9,000 there you go. That's a problem. Yeah. Well, I'm gonna calculate something really quickly though.
9,000 units, 9,000 scooters in downtown Austin.
Yeah.
Okay, that's just one brand by the way.
I know.
Going south to North, like, say Zarshavis,
where do you see downtown ends?
Like 15th Street?
I think 12th.
I think the 12th.
Yeah, I think 12th Street.
Downtown is, yeah, the river to the Capitol.
Probably is what would be considered. So that's, let's call it 13th Street. I mean, the river to the capital. Probably is what would be considered.
So that's, let's call it 13th Street.
And then like maybe up to MLK.
Then what, like 35 to Guadalupe,
or do you consider the West stuff also?
I think 35 to MoPAC is considered.
MoPAC, I would give you maybe Lamar.
At least Lamar.
Is the Downtown Honest and Report.
Yeah.
Okay, how many streets between I-35 and Lamar?
Guest to me, 10.
No, it's more than that.
I think it's more, I think it's like 12.
12 15.
I'll say 15.
Let's go to its hedge.
15th, so 13 roads, North to South, 15.
There are 195 intersections in downtown Austin.
And there are 9,000 scooters in one brand.
And think about that.
Also 175 of those intersections are under construction.
I see. What you were doing right. You were doing the right podcast. You were doing the right podcast. I live in the heart of the world. Also 175 of those intersections are under construction
Downtown and I've lived up for 18 months. It is brutal. You know why I don't mind
Because you live there That's that's Gavin's explanation
I'll tell you why you think there's a construction in the Austin airport because you live in Austin. It's like no
There's always fucking anyway anyway, we're all
million eye the other day.
Drove from, we went to get dinner at Flyright.
You were at Flyright, it's-
Scooter's Purner section, Flyright.
What you guys have right there actually.
So that's at seventh and like Chacon,
or a little bit past Chacon,
but it's right around it,
seventh and peternalos maybe.
From there to Whole Foods,
because we were going from there,
we had to stop at Whole Foods.
And I thought just as an exercise
Let's count how many
Cons... How many sites under construction we see between flywright and that Whole Foods, which is
20 block 20 blocks. Yeah, we counted 27 separate construction sites
That's a lot. Yeah, it's a lot in 12 blocks. I want to say I'm a huge fan of Jeff on the podcast. I endorse this every week You're proving all those points. I'm not trying to complain. I'm not complaining. Well, I, it's a lot in 12 blocks. I wanna say I'm a huge fan of Jeff on the podcast. I endorse this every week.
You're proving all those points.
I'm not trying to complain.
I'm not complaining.
Well, I guess it's a complaint, but.
I mean, you gotta build shit to this progress.
You gotta bring shit to it.
You gotta bring shit to build shit.
Yeah, I'm not, I don't complain about it.
That's why I don't bitch about how it takes,
how long it takes me to get home.
It's just, I noticed it.
I'm cognizant of it, but I'm not upset about it.
That being said, maybe it shouldn't take nine months
to fix a door in the austen airport.
Maybe it shouldn't take too long.
Maybe it shouldn't take too long.
Yeah, you're right about that.
That's like knocked that out in a weekend.
Yeah, it's a door.
Also, I think that they should be done
with the construction leading up to the airport at this point.
At this point.
They had like 15 years to figure that out.
One of the key, changing roads, like they fixed one road
and they got to fix the other road.
That wasn't there a big hole out there this morning. Do
you hear about that? On like one eighty three just by the airport, they had to close two lanes
of one eighty three because there was a big hole because of the construction. That was personal
podcast. This is some so happy. It's every topic. I want to talk about. I love it. We'll hear
them read this thing. Fucking mo pack. One is one lane of mo pack every single night.

Yeah, of course. It's just the way it's going to haunt you forever. Like for instance, Gus,
I would say that you say Chicago properly now because of me.
Probably a little thing. I'm going to get one eventually. He said one, like somebody
won a contest. He said it's such a hard one last week on the pod.
Oh, he does that.
That's his thing.
Yeah.
It was like, it was like you were making fun of yourself
when you said it.
I don't even hear it.
I would wager.
He still gets lispy when he drinks too,
when he gets drunk.
Oh, do you really?
No, I think I'm over that.
Yeah, he's shouting.
He's shouting.
I mean, he's always.
Yeah.
Well, I'm always shouting.
It's kind of a kissy drunk.
What?
Well, but maybe. Well, only when you're looking good. I'm always shouting. It's kind of the case. It's a drunk. What? A little bit.
Maybe.
Well, only when you're looking good.
I'm thinking of working out.
Anything for me.
This in general, it's like Gus gets affectionate,
which he is not at any other point in his life.
Oh, you guys were with me though, with a 23 and me thing.
You guys were with me, we were breakfast with Matt.
I think it was that when we were,
we found out about the thing we could use
your DNA information and figure out
It was a service that we just analyzed it for diet and health and exercise and everything like that
And it was cool because I could just like plug in my 23 me account from like a billion years ago
And they were like, yeah, we got your data and that it's not changing
So they just updated and they sent me a full report on everything and it was cheaper because I already had it on 23 me
Hmm, yep
Did you hear because there's always concerns about putting
your information out there with services and everything.
Did you guys hear the conspiracy theory surrounding the 2008
or 2009 versus 2019 selfie?
Oh, yeah.
I always thought that there was something shady about that.
So it makes sense.
It does make sense.
What's the theory?
We remember back in the day when they would say,
hey, what's your poor name? It's the name of your pet in the street. You grew up on fishing scale. It does make sense. What's the theory? We remember like back in the day when they would say like, hey, what's your poor name?
It's the name of your pet in the street.
You grew up on fishing scale.
It was a fishing scam.
It's speculation that this thing that started on Facebook
is they want to train algorithms to recognize aging data
or to trend aging.
And so they're having everyone submit these photos of themselves in this thing.
They just, they can just mind this for the data.
And it might not even be Facebook.
It could be just like another startup
who's trying to create algorithms
that do this kind of thing or even.
Yeah.
I don't know how you can use that in an aferious way.
But I had to be honest, I kind of liked
that people are now thinking about this stuff.
Because I remember when Barb and Gav
first started working for us and we were like,
why the fuck do you document every single thing you do
and put it on social media or Facebook at the time?
And like four square,
it's like that's what every,
yeah four square.
It's like checking in your location everywhere you go.
And they were like,
oh, it's totally fine.
It's like that just to us seemed weird.
Yeah, you know,
there was a,
there was a Reddit thread the other day,
which was what's a behavior that is considered,
not toxic, but something along those lines,
like a negative behavior that has been completely normalized
by society that no one recognizes,
and I was trying to go through and find what mine was,
and it wasn't even anywhere on there.
It was, to me, it's,
and it's gonna make me sound super old, selfies.
Selfies to me to this day are still weird.
Yeah, I agree.
The fact that somebody has more photos of themselves
that they took than of anything else.
Like if I went through a photo album at home
and when I was a kid and it was all pictures of my mom
taking picture of herself, that would have been weird.
Yeah, I agree.
It's not weird anymore though.
It's just, it's not a weird thing.
Yeah.
I don't wanna see me.
Like I know what I look like.
Yeah, Brittany.
I wanna see pictures of Millie when she was a kid.
I want to see Millie through the ages.
You're going to see an old picture of my mom.
Right.
I don't want to see me.
They have a picture about me.
They don't think you don't want to see,
which is I just went through all my parents' old photo albums
and my dad's slides.
Just fucking no.
Thousands of photos.
Two slides.
And so I just turned them into a service here in Austin.
They digitized it for me.
But I went through and vetted them.
I had this big light board.
And I was putting all the slides on with one of those loops
and looking at it like I'm a fucking jeweler.
And it's amazing back in the day,
what people took photos of was equally as irrelevant
of just like, you know, on Instagram now,
it's like, hey, it's a cold day.
Here's a picture of my face.
Like, how is that a cold day?
Okay.
Back in the day though, my dad, he just two pictures of stuff.
Like, he took pictures of a Japanese temple
and it's like, I don't give a shit about this.
I wanna see pictures of my parents, you know,
and things like that.
So it's like, but that being said,
if my dad's photo albums were all just pictures
of his own face and that's it, I'd been like,
okay, I need like four of these and I'm done, you know.
So, but going through and trying to find photos
of my parents to gather and stuff like that,
that's what I looked for.
Do you, do you either you subscribe to a read
that today I fucked up subreddit?
Yeah, I read it from time to time.
There was one a couple of weeks ago,
and you're talking about going through old photos
when we think about this.
There's one from a couple of weeks ago
where this guy killed a story about how his father-in-law
had passed away and he was close to this father-in-law
and when his father-in-law passed, he knew the pastor just follows the law's computer. So he went through and kind of sanitized it, you know, deleted stuff that he thought his father-in-law had passed away. And he was close to his father-in-law. And when his father-in-law passed,
he knew the pastor just follows the law's computer.
So he went through and kind of sanitized it,
deleted stuff that he thought his father-in-law
wouldn't want people to see and whatnot.
And he said he did a fairly thorough job on it.
But he forgot to do that for his father-in-law's
external hard drive.
So then all the family was getting together
and they wanted to do a moral for him
and like go through his stuff and find photos
and make like a digital memory of him. And the person who was writing this post says, I realized him and like go through his stuff and find photos and make like a digital
memory of him and The person who's writing this post says I realized I didn't go through that hard drive
So I had to very strongly suggest that it was only me who was suitable to do this
Because he knew that that hard drive was filled with porn. That's why I downloaded
Yeah, and they didn't didn't think anybody else in the family should be subjected to that
Sure, yeah, it's just it's. Like, you know, he had to,
he had such a strong reaction
to go through and try to protect the memory of his father
and law to preserve the way his children looked at him
and after he's gone.
That's a good dude.
Really sweet thing for that guy to do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Good for him.
Well, as you know, nothing legal,
learning like that.
You didn't think he was all on the open up as well as I know.
Yeah, just like, yeah.
It's just personal thing.
So it's like, it's nice.
You have someone who's not technically related to you
who's willing to go through and scrub that for you.
Yeah, you know, look out, look out for you.
Who knows what I have left.
The, you guys talking about the Apple Watch earlier
discovered recently a feature on the Apple Watch
which I thought would be useless
and it's actually really helpful,
is the flashlight feature.
I think that it seems useless to me.
No, because you turn up the brightness on it.
At first, it seems useless to me,
but you can turn the brightness way up,
and then it's great.
I got to measure the brightness.
You want to have yours password locked to us?
I do.
No, not when it's on me, though.
If I take it off, it goes to password.
Yeah.
Oh, well, how do you do that?
You can do it in security.
Is it on the eye?
You can touch it, and it turns up.
Yeah.
That's way better, right?
Yeah, that's better. See, I'm in the same discovery process. In my iPhone setting. Yeah, Jeff,, you can touch it and it turns up. Yeah, that's way better, right? Yeah, that is better.
See, I'm with the same discovery process.
In my iPhone setting.
Yeah, Jeff, and you can have it to unlock
when you unlock your phone.
Welcome to the Apple Watch setup podcast.
So say your watch.
So say your watch.
So say you're at the corner of 7th of Guadalupe
and you want to unlock your Apple Watch.
Here's how to do.
Send all your questions here.
I have old right now.
Just saying the calm thing drives me nuts.
I saw your passcode when you flipped your wrist earlier.
I thought, oh, did he just put his watch on?
Because I only get that once a day.
Yeah, if you take it off and then when you put it back on,
I just went to the last minute watch.
So I made a mistake.
This is a fucking critical mistake I made.
Is it privacy maybe?
Yeah, it's not a privacy location.
It's just a fuck up back there.
This is important.
It's a pet look under passcode.
Look under passcode.
Or just fucking search for it.
Old man podcast.
He's sticking to tongue out.
He is doing the old man thing.
Here.
You want my reading glasses?
By the way, I bought a pair of reading glasses.
Ditter old man.
Ooh, that's a milestone.
That's a fucking horrible milestone.
Did you get to my like a wall green select from the...
I did.
That's what I said earlier.
Did you get Apple Pay?
When I said I was using Apple Pay.
That's why I was at Walgreens
because I bought I bought
glasses. I always laugh at that
fucking display. I know. And I'm there.
What number are you like a plus two or what do they
have? No, I got a plus three and maybe like cross sides.
So I just thought, oh, why not?
If you're going to get one point two five magnification, why not get three?
But that was like looking to Coke bottles basically.
I got it because I just took a navigation class
for my sailing certifications that I'm going through.
And it's really cool, Gus, I think you're really loving.
I got like the calipers and these parallel tunnels.
You do like compasses and stuff like that.
Yeah, that's what the spreaders are.
It's like usually, you're using it to actually measure
and sometimes you use to make marks and little arcs
if you're trying to get like a running fix
and see where that is.
I'll show you some of this stuff later.
But it's a lot of really small lines
and the practice ones we, oops sorry buddy.
The practice ones we were working on were even on a,
we're on like a smaller piece of paper.
So like the compass rose and everything was tiny
for reading off the 360 degrees.
And it was, I was just like, I looked up
and the person across from me had reading glasses on,
a guy about my age, I was like,
oh, maybe I should do that.
Maybe I'm at that point.
So I gave a shot to fucking great.
I saw people were,
people were giving shit to,
I'm gonna try it on.
People were giving shit to that flat earth or cruise.
Did you hear that?
Jeff, what's he's on and look at your phone?
We're, I guess like all the flat earthers are going on a cruise and everyone's pointing out the irony that the cruise ship uses
Around earth to navigate
I don't need reading glasses. Okay, so I'm here at simple passcode. Do I turn that off?
Dude, I don't know. What's your passcode?
Am I the same as your pin? No. Do you know his pin? Yes.
Not anymore, you know.
You changed the code on your office.
I didn't make it.
I couldn't make it.
This is bad.
Yeah, I couldn't make it.
Oh, it actually helps.
It does help, right?
If you hold it like this, it really helps.
It's not as good as the either.
It's not as good as the either.
Because Michael Jones uses his phone like this.
It's so important.
It's so important.
All right, go ahead.
So I have simple passcode turned on.
So I turn that off. I have unlockablecode turned on. So I turn that off.
I have unlock with iPhone turned on.
This is an award winner, podcast.
And I have wrist detection turned on.
Here's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna use another part of my phone,
which is called the web browser.
To look up Apple Watch Unlock.
Look right there.
You can unlock it by turning the digital crown?
That's cool.
I discovered that.
You're welcome.
This is what you want.
Okay, hold on.
Apple Watch Unlock by Face ID. Here you go.
I got a mask. I
Used face ID on your iPhone or
Actually kind of really like your glasses. It's not what I locked it. You know what?
You fucker. I'm guessing no look on face ID on your phone. Maybe face ID has a buddy
This is gonna be so frustrated for so many people right now.
But it's not what we will help you after the podcast.
I will forget by then.
What a thanks Jeff for joining us.
Is this the Alzheimer's?
I can talk about, let's talk about something cool.
What movie's you guys?
You guys seeing any good TV shows lately?
Hey Captain Marvel tickets.
Just want to say, anybody by Captain Marvel tickets?
No.
Anybody give a shit about Captain Marvel?
Give a shit.
I'm sure it's gonna be good, but I still.
Dude, you have a daughter. That's the female hero. Come on. I'm not gonna lie to her. She, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, viable like female role model, right? Oh, okay. They should have, they should have,
if they wanted that, yeah, they should have done more with her,
but as it stands the way it's done right now, no.
I think I told you about the silly day,
you gotta watch Killing Eve.
That's a, such a good show.
Really good, oh, you watch it?
Yeah, I've seen the, the first season.
Yeah, I haven't seen season two.
So good.
I like, I sure watch the Ozarks.
From the very beginning, it just grabs you.
It's so good.
I'm so fucking looped into this Ozark show.
Turn it on. Justin Bateman. It's a money laundering, right? Jason Bateman. Yes, Jason Bateman just grabs you. I'm so fucking looped into this Ozark show. Turn it on.
Justin Bateman.
It's a money laundering, right?
Jason Bateman.
Yes.
Jason Bateman, thank you.
I mixed up Jason Bateman and Justin Bateman.
Oh, speaking of that, I made a mistake.
I put on Jeff, one of the things I did, do you use the activity stuff on your Apple Watch
to bridge two conversations together here?
Sure.
Do you use that at all?
Yeah. Like you get a stand goal and you get 12 in a day
and then you hit your stand goal for the day.
I, one day as an experiment decided to do
see if I could get 24 hours of standing in one day
and I did it.
And I just ensought and so she sent me an invite
to be friends on Apple Watch.
And then so I had to see every time
Justine works out and she works out fucking all the time.
And then she challenged me after last week.
She challenged me to a fitness competition
and I accepted biggest mistake.
What does that mean?
What does the fitness competition?
It's like you get points for your activity.
You have minutes of exercise, calories burned,
and then a way, way, way, way lesser stat
is how many hours in the day you stand up once. And it mainly, it, way, way, way lesser stat is how many hours in the day you stand up once.
And it mainly, it, it pages way more towards the competition towards minutes exercise and
then calories burned as a result at huge mistake.
It's only seven days and I'm like two days in our already, I'm already regretting it worse
than I have for granted.
Can we have like a, a sloth challenge towards like whoever can get the lowest activity score?
That's a great idea.
We're gonna have like the least amount of exercise in a day.
Let me tell you Apple products suck
and this is a piece of shit.
I don't want anymore.
Oh really?
Wait, I'm switching to whatever.
So are you still trying to hook it up to the scalating note?
Sanding.
No, we'll deal with it later.
Oh, now we're gonna stop.
Now we're gonna stop because you're pounding.
That's...
It doesn't do what it says it does.
If I, it says simple passcode,
with this on Apple Watch Unlocks
with a simple forward to passcode.
Cool, whatever.
I turn it off and it goes, yeah, change your passcode.
I change my passcode and it goes,
cool, you've got a new passcode.
And then I go, okay, I still want to turn it off.
And then when I click to turn it off again,
it goes, cool, change your passcode.
Cunt.
Easy, easy, come on dude.
Take it easy.
I mean it.
I'll look it up for you.
This phone is, if you're looking up to you guys, we're all looking at our phones. We mean it. Oh look at that. This phone is fun.
You're looking up to you guys, we're all looking at our phones.
We're trying.
We're trying.
What do you want to do this podcast one?
Yeah.
I watch Manifest.
Oh, is that what you told me?
But you told me about this, okay.
The premise is better than the show.
Yeah.
That's one of those where you like, you're hoping the show gets,
it catches up, like the quality of the show catches up
to the plot, you know?
But Millie likes it, so that's our thing now.
We watch it, it's like 11 episodes.
Your manifesto?
It's a plane that takes off.
It's a plane, it takes off.
Just disappears.
It's gone, Millie, it's a 370.
Langley.
And then five years later, plane lands.
And for the people that were on the plane, no time has passed.
And for all the people on Earth, they're like, I got remarried.
I found it in 10 seconds.. I found it in 10 seconds.
I literally found it in 10 seconds.
What'd you find?
Unlocked.
What do you think you found?
Unlocked.
Unlocked.
Unlocked.
Unlocked.
Unlocked.
Unlocked.
Unlocked.
Unlocked.
Unlocked.
Unlocked.
Unlocked.
Unlocked.
Unlocked.
Unlocked.
Unlocked.
Unlocked. Unlocked. Unlock settings. Okay, go down to the bottom.
That's good.
There you go.
Now, scroll in there, it's this unlock with iPhone.
It's on.
So you're unlocked with your iPhone.
You gotta have the watch on.
If you have it off, it's gonna fuck up.
Oh, yeah, if you don't have the watch on,
it's not gonna unlock once when you unlock your phone.
I'm telling you, every time I try to use my watch,
I have to even that password in.
You should be good now.
I didn't change anything.
He just had you change the thing.
It was already like that.
Watch this.
All right.
Maybe you're dead.
And this is how he found out you have no pulse.
Every time I go to use my phone,
that password comes on.
No matter what.
All right, I can't, I can't.
After the podcast, we'll sit down.
We'll sit down with the guy.
We had a whole topic on the podcast
last week about horrible tech support and how long it takes.
And now we're doing the performance art version of that.
Did you see that story speaking of Apple products?
You see that story about those people
who were on vacation in Japan,
and they were on a boat that they had rented,
and they both capsized in the ocean.
And a great story so far.
I guess they all tried to grab for their cell phones, but only like two people were able
to grab their cell phones before they sank to the bottom of the ocean.
One of them they pulled out and it was destroyed because of the water.
The other one still worked and they were able to call 9-1-1 in the ocean and the Coast Guard
showed up and saved them all.
I can't imagine being in that situation where you're dunked in the water and you're trying
to catch your phone before it sinks to the bottom of the ocean.
Yeah, I need to catch that.
Otherwise, I've been going to die.
Where were they?
What part of the world?
Of course, Japan.
So, probably pretty cold water.
Pacific's cold as it is.
Oh, yeah.
How's the Pacific colder?
Like the water in Los Angeles is way fucking colder than
it is in the Atlantic. It's because of the more ice. Yeah, it's more more surface area to
touch the ice. You know, you might actually be right. Believe it or not. You might be because
I don't know for a fact, but the current might go from north to south. So it comes down
I think directly from the Arctic. I think it goes the Atlantic goes that way.
The Atlantic. So Florida is catching water from Africa, essentially.
So, okay. So it's going clockwise.
Right.
So then yeah, it would be if it's going clockwise in the Pacific, then that's how I know it is.
It's not.
So what's that? You have to look it up.
Jeff, which direction does the Pacific flow?
Hold on.
I got a log in.
It's my phone.
It's my window. It's all fucked up. There you go. We were right.
Bang. That's on the ball broadcast.
Oh my god, Jeff. No, my kiddos fucked up. I'm drinking a beer.
That's the thing too. You got to be diligent about kiddo because if you're not,
there's no point. It's like, yeah, if you eat, there's no half-made. There's
80 grams of fat. And then you say, oh, I'm just going to cheat on my carbs a little bit.
It doesn't work that way. No, it that way. It does not work that way.
And I already fucked up with these fucking cheese balls.
So I'm like, I'm resetting.
A third thing is a third of the container.
I'll say this to,
that's thinking about the fucking keto thing.
I've been doing it since like October and November,
whenever.
I don't miss a lot of stuff anymore.
Like I don't,
I don't,
I don't have a lot of urges that I used to have.
I took a bite of something that had sugar in it
and it was like, it was, I felt like I punched in the mouth.
How much weight have you lost since you started doing that?
20, I'm down 23 pounds.
But you lost 40 pounds before that,
but then went back up a little bit?
I gained about 15 pounds back.
But like at my drunkest fattest, I was 216,
and now I'm 171.
So whatever that math is.
Every time I've lost 45,
it's been because of keto.
When I went down to 185 at the call center,
that was keto.
Really?
When I went down the last time, like, with 2011, you know,
that was keto then too.
So it's nice to know that I had no impact on you
in any way whatsoever.
Like, you didn't even know about this or care about it.
No, it's not that.
It's more of, I was, I never realistically considered diets
because I was consuming so much alcohol
and I wasn't gonna curtail that,
that anytime I would look at a diet,
I'd be like, well, the liquor's gonna blow
this out of the water immediately.
What's the point?
So I just figured diets weren't for me
because I was not gonna,
I was not gonna temper my alcohol consumption.
So when I sobered up, I was like,
oh, I can finally try diets now.
Yeah.
And what kind of calories in you think?
Yeah, it does.
But it doesn't have sugar.
It doesn't have sugar.
Also, it has the more vodka you drink,
the worser decision making is,
and then it's a lot easier.
It's not hard to wake up at like nine in the morning
the next day and then see an empty sleeve of Oreos
and go, what the fuck happened to those?
My funeralized.
So I was the only person in the house last night.
I guess I happened to them.
Zero grams of carbs in vodka.
Really?
Of course, when you put it in like ginger ale or something.
Yeah.
Also, 100 grams of alcoholic in me.
So I can't,
it doesn't matter.
That's true, we should be, be.
But thank you for trying to push me in the drinking.
I meant 150 grams of carbs.
That's a good friend.
I meant 150 grams of carbs.
That's what I mean.
Oh man, it's a sweetened addiction.
You're drinking the soy juice.
You ain't drinking any way, Jen.
How are you like, Jen?
How are you like, Jen?
I know.
I, it's like, what happened there?
It's like, it collapsed on itself?
It's the saddest grossest thing I've ever seen.
Have you seen Arty Lang's nose?
No. It's, it like, collapsed. Can you pull up a picture? Can you just Google Artie Lings nose? You'll
know the photo. I think he's standing in court. It you'll know it because you'll throw up in your
mouth. What happened? Artie has done so much cocaine in the last few years that his nose collapsed.
Which apparently is the thing. And he had to appear in court to not go to jail.
There it is.
Look on the big screen.
Yeah, man.
Yeah.
And he's a, he's in,
that new season of crashing is coming out in HBO
next week, I think, and he's in that.
I'm curious to see what he looks like in that show.
That's hard for me.
That's a sad, that's hard for me to see that.
It's a sad, I, that guy's really funny.
He's really, really, really,
have you seen crashing yet? No. He's really talented. Have you seen crashing yet?
No.
He's so good in that.
What is crashing?
It's a HBO show, Pete Holmes.
It's like semi-autobiographical about him.
What?
Pete Holmes makes me laugh.
It's a really good shot.
People hate Pete Holmes so much.
He's a three-year starting later this month.
He's a tough one.
I think the same show is the other one.
There's like crashing in the other one,
which is I'm dying up here, right?
I haven't seen that one, I don't know.
Okay, yeah.
I did read an interesting critique of Pete Holmes once
that I was kinda, made me think for a moment.
And the person, it was probably on Twitter,
struggling comedian, and they said,
how many chances is Pete Holmes gonna get to make it?
Well, there's a show I really like called Difficult People.
It was a Hulu show, start on Billy Eichner.
And it's a fucking great show.
And there were only three seasons,
but you should watch it if you give a chance.
And there was one joke in there
where the lady, protagonist, I can't remember her name
with Tom ahead, but her husband comes home
and she's just like on the sofa eating a cake
and they're like struggling comedians
trying to make it in the world in New York.
And the husband comes home and he sees her eating this cake
and he goes, oh no, sweetie, did Pete Holmes
get another chance?
Just one of the funniest written jokes.
That's so great.
And I could totally identify what I'm like.
But there's a certain section of entertainment.
Like there's a very, like a subsection.
And I think Pete Holmes is in this subsection where you can work for a very long time in comedy
if other comedians find you funny.
Yes.
And there's your comedians comedian.
You're a comedian's comedian.
Mark Marin, great example of that.
Colin Quinn.
Colin Quinn, another great example.
Always will be able to work, always get stuff done,
always be able to get like, you know,
your documentary about common-sandman comics coming out.
You'll always be able to get a set
wherever the fuck he wants, walk in and get it.
But it's like, you're still waiting like,
what's the difference between Jerry Seinfeld,
nearly billionaire and Colin Quinn?
Who's been working since remote control?
Is Jerry not a billionaire?
I think he is, he's a billionaire.
He might be at this point because it's indication.
He might be.
I thought he was even before syndication.
He's also got that thing where he's like,
he's doing that thing where as he gets older,
he's like fighting the change of time
and it's like, maybe just like,
I was wondering about that
because I watch comedians and cars getting coffee.
Yeah, I don't watch it religiously
but I only watch the,
for the people that I find interesting.
But I swear he's had hair work, right?
Because in the latest season,
he's got more hair than he did.
Like a noticeable amount.
Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Maybe that's it.
Why wouldn't you do that, though?
I mean, I know, I agree.
If I had more money than God,
I would use that money.
It all seems like Elon Musk it up.
They fixed that.
Like you can now just get your hair replaced.
Yeah.
You used to be like, there was a hard line
or just awful, they had a spray can of shit.
Oh, I forgot about that.
Yeah.
You know, it was probably the best example of that.
I mean, Joel McCale.
I was gonna say Elon Musk.
Elon Musk is a good one.
But have you ever seen that Joel McCale before and after photos?
It's a different person.
Is it?
Steve Carell.
Steve Carell was the only great one.
Yeah.
He's one of the office.
He looks like a different dude.
And he was on a TV show when he, I think, maybe he changed his hair to make him show. Look that way. You know, for the first season, I mean, but I think it went the other way. I think it went changed his hair to make himself look that way, you know, for the first season
I mean, but I think it went the other way.
I think it would be the other way.
Yeah, but cleaned up.
Why not?
Take the effort and do it.
Why not?
Oh, I'm going to read this.
Oh, there you go.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, that's, like, that's pretty noticeable.
Uh, it looks all the same to me.
All right.
Here, let me read this.
I don't mind everyone.
This episode of Chief Podcast is also brought to you by the Zebra.
It's been reported that Americans are overpaying on car insurance by over $21 billion.
Yes, that's $21 billion with a B. That's insane.
But search for a better deal can take hours and typically results in a barrage of unwanted
spam calls until now, thanks to thezebra.com.
Thezebra.com is a nation's leading car insurance comparison site because it's the only place
where you can compare hundreds of policies from all of the top carriers and choose the one that's best for you.
Plus, they do not sell your information to spammers so you won't get all of those unwanted calls or emails.
You can answer a few questions on a simple, fast form and they find you the best rates and coverage
in your state. The Zebra has been called the Kayak for Auto Insurance. It's quick, easy, and free.
It's just an honest way to compare car insurance quotes
from all the top providers all at once.
Go today and start saving at the zebra.com slash rooster.
That's the zebra.com slash rooster spelled THEZBRA.com slash rooster.
It's really super easy, super fast.
I tried it out.
My insurance agent who I'd used for years retired
at the beginning of this year.
And then when we saw we had the zebra as a sponsor,
I thought, why was I using that guy for like 15 years?
Like I've never thought to look for another
car insurance quote.
So it was good timing.
I tried it out and it's really, really super easy to use.
Yeah, my insurance agent is across the street
from our old office.
Just because.
My insurance agent is my house.
I lived at like 15 years ago.
Right, exactly right.
It was convenient for me back then.
I don't live anywhere near there anymore.
I had to switch because our buddy George Yang
that we used to work with as well.
I was needing insurance and he said,
we'll just, I'll give you my agent's number.
And I said, okay, that's great.
So I called her.
I'm gonna assume with George, it's like a Asian only place.
Asian, I was her only non-Asian clock out.
And like even when I would call,
some of the office staff didn't fully speak English.
So depending on who answered the phone,
like one of her assistants,
they were like, why are you calling it the wrong number?
And I'm like, no, I really don't.
I really don't.
And he talked to Pamela, please, please.
I have to deal with something.
And so I finally ended up just switching after,
probably 10 years of that,
but the last eight years, I've had the the woman right across street from the
old Congress office.
Yeah, it's not Congress, but it's just one of those things you don't think about.
I think you just like you pay it.
It's just a bill that's like on auto pay or something.
You're trying to remember you need it if I've ever met my agent.
Right.
I think everything that we've ever done has been over the phone or email.
Try getting a bus ensuring.
Holy fucking shit.
That was difficult.
That took me about four months of work to find someone.
Then I had to go through, like,
that's a lot of work.
You think most places would just do it.
I tried to, it was, I went to,
even got to the point where I tried to go through like Geico,
tried to go through other insurance companies,
then ended up going through RV specific places.
And they were like, it's not an RV, it's a bus.
And like, it's a, it's a class look.
I can show you the title,
it's classified as an RV.
So it was a whole hassle.
Finally found somebody who would do it.
And it was my insurance agent down south.
I called her and I said,
I've just, I gotta come back around to you
because I talked to you first.
I just can't get this.
She goes, I'll figure it out and she did.
That's why I've been with her.
She's great.
I never thought it would be strange to ensure a bus.
She also calls me honey. She's got that Southern thing. She's great. I never thought it would be strange to ensure a bus. She also calls me honey.
She's got that Southern thing.
That's a reason right there.
She calls me honey, so it makes me feel good.
So I'm like, I'll stick around for a while.
I've done it a couple of years.
I want that.
Yeah.
I parked, I moved the bus.
It's got a new location.
I saw it. It was over there by a parking lot.
Is it okay? I think it's okay where it is.
Yeah.
Okay.
Is there a problem?
Just that it wanted to be in the way Yeah. Okay. Is there a problem?
Just that it wanted to begin the way, you know?
You had a problem plugging it in, right?
Oh Jesus, dude.
We had a thing where Tesla has a promo code.
It's a referral code.
Okay.
I don't put it out.
There was some Twitch person who put theirs up
and asked everybody to use his referral code
and got so many people, he got a free car.
Like they gave me a free roadster I think.
A free roadster. Yeah.
The like the new one coming out that's like.
It's a quarter million dollars. Yeah.
I should never do it's never been my style to ask for free stuff online, you know,
or or do that kind of stuff. I feel like
having a ruse of teeth, having the audience and asking, you know, for subscriptions or like even
when we do like a crowdfunding thing,
like very precise or extra life,
another good example.
That's what I'd prefer to ask,
like very specific things like that.
And we've said this before,
where we don't even ask people to vote for us for awards.
We've done it once or twice,
if think in 15 or 16.
I think we have done it a few times, but not often.
It's very precise, but that being said, we have the opportunity
to ask people to vote for us in an award
about once every two weeks, you know what I mean?
Because there's always some awards show
where they want you to go to your audience
because they're basically promoting that thing.
I just don't like asking for that kind of stuff,
but when people have called me and said,
hey, I'm gonna get a Tesla, don't you have a referral code?
Can I use yours?
And like a handful of people did that,
including a couple of people at the company who bought one.
And I got high enough on some list
where they sent me a wall charger,
an Elon Musk signed wall charger.
But I didn't want to install it at my house.
It's a black one, normally the ones that they sell
in the online store are still there.
The Elon Musk signed one.
And so I said, I'm not gonna hold much longer
I'm gonna be in the place where I am now.
I have a feeling you're gonna be in your house
for a long time here.
I'm just gonna give this to you, install it at your place.
He ended up not doing that.
And then when we are all moving to the new office,
as a nice gift, he then,
because a lot of people like Gus and Jack,
like you said, Jordan, Kerry, have Teslas now.
He had the wall charger installed on the outside
of that building and plugged in right there.
Anyway, this is all leading up to the guy
who installed this thing.
Electrician is one job that I wanna trust the person doing it.
It's an invisible thing that can kill you.
We're set your building on fire.
There's so much stuff wrong.
Gus had to go through and troubleshoot the Tesla charger and show like the switches the guy had
wrong. So it was only putting on 12 amps and it should have been putting out 40 amps.
And then mine when I went to go plug in my bus, he'd put the plug on upside down. And
John Mace had to flip it back over. So I was saying to Gus, these are all the things we see.
Who the fuck knows what else is wrong? The PC behind the...
Yeah, the calamity that's going on behind the panel.
Yeah, like a couple of places I've lived at and I've owned.
You start wonder like, why is this thing done this way?
You like take a electrical plate off and like, okay,
I can fix this, but now I see there's another problem
that this was the reason that this was this way.
Like it's gonna take me a couple hours to fix this.
You fix this, like, oh, now now that's gonna cover this other problem.
It's like you're just like pulling out a thread
or just like one thing leads to another,
leads to another.
It's kind of like that working with Michael
because you know he's an ex-electrition.
And anytime we're doing stuff that involves electricity
around the office, he'll just be like,
go plug that in and he'll go and be like,
when the fuck did they hold on?
He's start taking stuff, but he's like,
now this is really shotoddy electrical work.
I can,
no, that's not my job anymore.
Fuck it, it works.
But he runs into stuff all the time,
where he's like,
well, that's backwards or that's wrong.
And apparently it's just fucking common.
Or he might be from that school,
where the first thing they teach you as a contractor
is to walk into somewhere and go.
The last guy did this completely wrong.
It's a every fucking contractor says.
But I believe it,
because every time I,
they're like, oh, this stuff, they should not have done it
this way.
This is so fucked up.
Look out, they got this round of this way.
And that way, and you're like,
oh, this guy knows what he's talking about
because he's tricking someone else's work.
Then two years later, you get somebody else
and they see that guy's working like,
this guy did everything wrong.
It's the first thing everybody says.
Well, it feels to me the code always changes.
It's like, yeah, that used to be a code.
Now the code's different.
Yeah.
If it like they changed it all the time,
just to fucking change it.
I actually had a dude when,
I think I told the story a while back on our podcast.
I don't know if I have told it to you guys,
but were my apartment flooded
and Millie kept up for me for a while.
Yeah.
I had to have all my shit fixed.
And the guy when he was fixing it,
he came in, he was fixing the plumbing, and he did a thing,
and he goes, is this how they made the whole building?
This is bullshit.
And I go, what?
And he goes, dude, every apartment should be having
a flood like yours, this is ridiculous.
This place is like, I would get out of here,
and I'm like, oh fuck, and he's in there fixing it,
and then at the end of the 20 minutes later,
he came to me and he goes, hey, I just wanna know,
I was wrong, they had some new stuff I've never seen before
and I figured it out and it's super smart
and I didn't know that this thing worked this way now
and I took pictures of it and I'm gonna go tell everybody
in my office because this is awesome.
And he goes, I take it back,
your apartment complex is built really well.
Wow, yeah, I was really surprised by that.
I was like, oh, oh.
He made a point of seeking me out and going,
listen, I was wrong.
That's a rare thing.
Yeah, I did that once. That's a rare thing. Yeah.
I did that once.
We did a business deal and the agent we had at the time
was telling us,
I guess, you know,
he's really thinking about dealing with,
he's like, no, but everything lines up
and it's gonna take too long with these other guys.
So we're just gonna go to the direction he goes.
He goes, well, because she's your guys' choice,
he goes, I feel like I've said my piece.
And if you wanna do it,
of course the fucking deal went nowhere, fell apart and everything.
I called him back like six months later,
called the agent back and I said,
hey, his name, I said, I just wanted to call and tell you
that this is the thing from a few months ago
that you told us it didn't work out
and I just want to call and say that you were right.
And he goes, let me sit down.
Like, he goes, he goes, this never happens.
He goes, no, we were called as an agent back
and says in Hollywood and says, yeah, I was completely wrong. You were right. He goes, I'm happens. He goes, no, we recalls an agent back and says in Hollywood and says, yeah, I was completely
wrong.
You were right.
He goes, I'm gonna relish this.
I'm gonna be out.
Let me turn the tape recorder on.
I'm playing the tape back.
Please head that again clearly.
Is that your name at the beginning?
I was going to say when you were telling a story, I was going to say, I've never had the
contractor that's coming out.
This was amazing work.
Yeah.
How did this fall into disrepair?
They did a great job with this.
Never heard that once in my life.
Like I said, you're calling, like you said,
you're calling someone to look at something.
It's already broken.
It's already something fucked up about it.
Sure.
You're not calling them to like admire the great work
that was done.
I know, but it is funny.
Like you can have a guy, like I got a guy working
on my deck and then he saw the roof and goes.
Your roof's completely fucked up.
These guys, you know, and then the roof guy came
and was like, your gutters are terrible.
It's like, they all know each other. It's just a fucking circle.
But it's like the Tesla referral. They should get referral points when they bring another
contractor in. They're gonna get a free fucking wall charger.
Are you guys having a good 2019 so far?
I think so.
Yeah, it's been busy.
Mine is fucking great.
Yeah.
I almost hate to say because there's a new thing like towards the end of the year when everyone's like
I just have to get out of this year
It's been the worst year ever and maybe I only just see that stuff and so and I know I certainly stay quiet when people are saying how horrible things are going
I don't like say I'm doing great. Everything's fine, but yeah
I'm so fucking jazzed about 2019 all across the board. I'm super excited. How did you feel about 2018?
I feel fine
2018 was a was a, like, personally.
Yeah.
But it was also really good year personally for me,
but it was, like, professionally best year of my life.
I'm hoping 2019's better in all fronts.
It's starting off really well.
We've achieved 100's been super slammed already.
And you're going out and down.
We're going to tour in Australia in, like, four days.
We, and it's like, it's no joke,
we do the community event the day we land.
Like there's not a moment off, yeah.
And we're still filming, like we're doing a bunch of
like film and stuff to have Michael and Lindsay
so they can kind of participate in it.
And we've been so busy because we just filmed
like all of the club houses for season two,
a honor this week.
I'm filming something with you guys tomorrow actually.
So we have promo thing.
Are you in that?
Yeah, I have a good idea.
And, but it feels like every day there's been like,
of 2019 thus far, every day there's been like a holy shit.
We gotta get this done immediately.
It's already late.
I feel like we're starting off like one foot behind,
but we've hit the ground running.
I'm scared to see how I feel at the end of 2019
if it stays this busy.
You're gonna make the sexy Jeff calendar for 2020.
People want a second round of the Gus calendar.
No, no, they want to.
And I think that they, I think you're a deserve it.
You've ever been in.
You've deprived the people.
I'm gonna be in the better shape too.
My, by the time you shoot the gun,
you're working out now?
No, no, no.
That was never my thing. Never my thing.
I'm still walking and bike riding a lot,
but I started this thing.
There's this video I watch all the time.
I'll say it, this is gonna sound weird when I say it.
There's a little Asian girl.
And there's a video I watch all the time
where she does like a hundred day push-up challenge.
All right.
And she's like got like, she's like the rock by the end of it,
doing like one arm push-ups and shit. And I'm like, I wanna. All right. And she's like got like, she's like the rock by the end of it, doing one arm pushups and shit.
And I'm like, I wanna be like that little Asian girl.
So my near resolution was to do pushups every day
for a year, like why do 100 day challenge?
I'm gonna do 365 day challenge.
Then the other day I thought,
I've never seen anybody do the million pushup challenge.
I'm gonna start that.
I'm gonna create the, I'll do a YouTube channel.
I'll do a Ferruciety,
create the million pushup challenge.
It's like, you can do a million pushups in a year, right?
No.
No, you can't.
It's like two every minute for a year.
Matt, Trevor and I did the math.
So I'm just gonna do a bunch of pushups instead.
Two every minute for a year.
Yeah, a lot of pushups.
There aren't as many minutes in a year as you think.
No, no.
Well, there was the stat that always bogged my mind.
I mean, get it wrong, I know,
which is the difference between a million and a billion
and if you wanted to count to a million
or one second intervals, it would take you about two weeks to count to a million. Yeah, you want to count to a billion
it would take you about four years. Yeah, it was just a math of a thousand times, you know, two weeks.
Do you guys see that that YouTube channel where the guy said Gucci gang a million times? No, no.
For charity.
No, I've known this was for charity.
Millie watched it.
It took him like two weeks.
I've just saying, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang,
Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang,
He would have been like eight hours at a time.
It was a song, it was a really popular song by a guy named Lil Pump.
I believe it was a Lil Pump.
Lil Pump?
Did it?
Gucci gang?
It was a pump, Lil.
And yeah, you don't know the Gucci gang song.
It was a huge song last year.
Sorry, dude.
I don't know any shark.
It's like mumble core, mumble rap, that shit, like Cardi B.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I mean, I hear you are like, I've only seen the meme version of it.
Who's that, see that in social media, 1000 times?
Who's the dickhead who died of a drug overdose?
Yeah, that guy.
Lil, the other one.
Yeah, they hit the same kind of music. Yeah, I kind of think. And definitely by the way, he's not dying of a drug overdose. Yeah, that guy. A little the other one. David, they hit the same kind of music.
That kind of thing.
And David Bowie, by the way,
did not die of a drug overdose.
Who did?
No, I was throwing out names.
I said, David Bowie.
Oh, so, but he did not die.
He did not die.
Oh, a drug overdose.
A drug overdose.
To our knowledge.
Yeah, I feel like that happened.
That's been happening a lot lately.
Like guys in that year,
like young people who are musicians,
it seems like drug overdoses come back.
Like, they're back in vote.
We're seeing that a lot more than I feel like we'd seen it for a while.
What was the stat I read the other day that Americans are more likely to die from an opioid
overdose than from a car accident now?
Is it true?
I saw that too.
Actually, I saw that too, yeah.
That's like a stat.
That's a fucking crisis, dude.
Yeah, that's a fucking crisis.
That's a stat for the state that's it.
Statue weird though.
Also, that's a lot of people dying in cars.
It's a lot of people dying cars.
Yeah, it's like when they call the deer
is the most dangerous animal in America
because it causes the most fatalities of people
because of car accidents.
Also deer ticks.
Also deer ticks.
What are you, deer hole?
Let's not think it about saying it at all.
Where are you?
Whenever I think of deer ticks in Lyme disease, I always think of the girl
that was on the real world, Seattle,
who had Lyme disease.
Eric laughing, Eric remembers that girl.
That was, that was like the train wreck of a season.
I thought I could go correctly.
It would have been really interesting
if that happened today.
She got in an argument with one of the guys in the house.
I wanna say his name was David.
And she was leaving the house and he hit her in the face.
Oh yeah.
He slapped her in the face on TV.
Do you remember how he did that?
Was that in San Francisco?
I opened the car door.
He ran to the, she was leaving.
Yeah, she was in a taxi, right?
Open the car door, hit her, and then closed it.
She drove away.
Was that the real world San Francisco?
They have Seattle.
Seattle.
Damn.
He threw her bear in the water or something like that? I forget. So fucking long ago. So fucking long ago. 31 years. I did my calculations
by 31 years to count to a billion. 31 years. Yeah. 31 years to count to a billion. So
a year to a million, 31 to a billion. No, two weeks, two weeks to a million, 30 years
to a billion. 11 days to get to a million. How much to count to Jeff Bezos and his worth?
Net worth.
Pretty close to worth. How long do you say 30 Bezos and Ethworth? Net worth. Pretty or post-a-worse.
It's, would you say, how long do you say 30 years?
Three years, what'd you say?
Yeah, 30, 31 years?
31 years to do a billion times what, 65?
Yeah, a long time.
Think about that.
If you had to count,
they said just start now, start counting.
We'll give you a dollar for every number you get.
However, how you get, that's how many dollars will give you.
How far would you make it?
Like, would you, I mean, like you get, that's how many dollars will give you. How far would you make it? Like, would you, I mean,
like without stopping, without sleeping or anything?
Well, like you get to five million,
you have five million dollars, that's enough,
but you've spent like 10 weeks,
would that be 10 weeks?
If you have 11, 11 days.
Yeah, 11 days.
So you're like spending months on this, at what point,
but you know the next second,
you just make another dollar if you just keep it going.
You know what I mean?
That seems like it would be like some kind of like-
So that endurance.
Some kind of fable, right?
Mean dollar, but you gotta count it.
Some moral lesson.
And it's like, you never can spend the money
because you can't give up the greed.
Can't spend it till you count the whole thing.
Right, yeah.
You just sit there and count it.
I always thought about that when I remember
when they were stopping friends
and they were all making $22 million a year.
It's like, or a million bucks an episode.
It's interesting.
How do you like not make a million dollars
for two or three days work?
How do you, how do you stop that?
Do you remember the first people
to make a million dollars an episode?
I don't think it was them.
What's in your friends?
No, I think it was Matt about you, right?
It was Paul Hellerhunt and Paul Reiser,
where the first people to make a million dollars an episode.
And then very soon after that, the Friends casted.
Yeah.
It's so weird too, because like Matt about you
doesn't show up in like anyone's classic sitcoms.
If I'm in syndication, it was, you couldn't watch it.
It was such a, there was another thing
that was such a big deal about Matt about you,
which was that Bruce Willis did guest spots on it.
And that was a huge deal back then
for a movie star to be on TV.
And before, it was obviously before 24 and all that stuff.
But that show at the height of its popularity,
and it's funny, you mention that,
but I think about Matt about you a lot.
It was easily the most popular show on television.
And it was a big fucking deal.
And everybody loved it.
And there was a whole thing about Helen Hunt
and Hank Azaria being on it together.
And they were married and that whole thing.
And then that show went off the air.
And they did that trade off with Seinfeld where Jerry took over the house
The apartment from Paul Reiser and then it's like it never existed. I think about this with books a lot
Like what is it that makes something indoor?
time like I was I was I was watching Fletcher a while back. I was showing it to Millie
I was she was homesick and I thought we'd have it like a comedy education day
So I showed her Fletcher. She fucking loved it and I thought we'd have a comedy education day, so I showed her Fletch, she fucking loved it. And I was reminded that it's a novel, so I bought the Fletch novel and I read it.
And then there's like ten of them. It was like a book series.
And so I was reading about it and it was one of the only, is the first novel ever to win this prestigious award.
I don't remember which one it is. It wasn't a, it wasn't like a Nobel Prize or anything.
But, or not what the the other one, not Nobel.
I get them confused.
A Cali-Cock medal?
No, the Pulitzer?
Pulitzer.
But it won this award, and then the sequel won the award again.
The next year, and it's the only time in history
it had ever been done.
And it was like reading about it.
In the 70s, in early to mid 80s, it was like a phenomenon,
a cultural phenomenon. Everybody read the Fletch books. Everybody was excited about it in the 70s, in early to mid 80s, it was like a phenomenon,
a cultural phenomenon.
Everybody read the flesh books,
everybody was excited about them when they came out.
They weren't standing in line in costumes,
like Harry Potter, but it was like a big fucking deal.
And I went to buy them all,
and I couldn't even get them all on Amazon
because they weren't all available.
So I was able to buy them used and stuff,
but I had to do like some piecemeal to get them.
And I haven't read them all,
I've only read a few, they're whatever.
But nobody remembers that.
I guarantee you can walk into a bookstore in Austin
and buy more than one of those books, probably.
And it's like it never mattered.
But at a time, it was like a total cycle.
A total from what I'm on.
For 10, 15 years.
And for some reason, we still read JD Salinger,
but we don't read Gregory McDonald's flesh books.
I didn't even know who the name of the author is.
Yeah, why is that?
Why does that one not endure
when it had all that popularity and other stuff does?
Not about you as a great example,
or that show, I can't remember the name of it,
but it was a big fucking show.
No, I would say Wings endured a little bit
that had what's his face, Richard Lewis,
and Jamie
Lee Curtis.
And they had that sitcom where they were in love.
And that was a huge sitcom too.
And then they had vague re-wings about it, but I can't remember.
And I bet Gus looks like he's looking at it and I'm not.
But, uh, so I can put this in perspective because I just watched, uh, I'm in love.
I'm in love, yeah.
I was watching, uh, having JD watch movies that he hadn't seen because I was just realizing
all the movies they kind of missed out on.
Yeah.
But why would he have seen them?
Because they were made way before he was born.
Like we just watched the 1980 Flash Gordon.
It held up surprisingly well.
Great fucking movie.
It was camping at the time, but like the effects
and everything, it's like, it did okay.
You know, because we're watching it in 4K.
But as part of it, we watched the Matrix. And then he was like, it was like, oh yeah,
because he kind of saw him as a kid, kind of remembered it.
So watch it.
Yeah, that was great.
He goes, and there's two more of them.
And Ashley and I both went, nah, don't worry about it.
You know, it's like, but then I watched Ray Chitchu reload it.
I haven't gotten to the third one yet.
And I was thinking about this.
I was thinking like, if those Matrix sequels had been any good, like, like, had done pretty
well, they probably would still be making Matrix movies every couple of years.
Oh, yeah.
Like Star Wars movies.
But it was just like, they just made two sequels that were either too heavy or too philosophically
inaccessible to broad audiences.
And people just didn't care about it anymore.
But why does that property not get to continue?
Because I've read that.
That's the big thing.
A lot of talks about rebooting it or starting over.
That's a great example of,
and there's all those stories about how they didn't really
write the first matrix, and that's why two and three were shitty.
I think through that out.
Whatever.
I don't know any of that shit's true.
That's just what I remember reading about.
But let me suit him.
Another example of where that went right
would be Mission Impossible.
It came out around the same time,
first Mission Impossible movie was super successful.
The second one, the John Wound did fucking terribly.
It was Panned.
You and I sought together.
I remember you and me and Mania Royo
and a couple of the people from TNI,
we saw it together at Metropolitan,
which is gone, I think now.
Oh, is it?
Yeah.
And the Bart and CreeCcenton was gone.
I think they pulled those, that fucking building,
which is another weird thing.
I remember when they built that theater and it was new.
It was brand new and nice.
It's the Inan Austin for a while.
Uh, but Tom Cruise just announced that there's a new mission of possible coming in 2021 and
2022, I think.
I think it was 2020 and 2021.
2021 that they still get to go, but Matrix doesn't.
Well, I mean, they, they would to to that point, his second one was not very good, but then the third one was phenomenal.
Third one was phenomenal.
So, I mean, they,
Third Matrix was the third mission of pop up.
They got it.
So, they fell back really quickly.
But the fourth one and the fifth one weren't very good.
I was like, they still get to make him though.
Who was the fourth one?
Was that Ghost Protocol?
That was the first one was signed in the pack.
Who was the fourth one?
It was the, the first one was the,
the fourth one was the one where he had to walk down the hallway
and they had to be invisible and they had the shield stuff.
I don't know what it was called.
I thought they were all good.
The only one I'm really not crazy about is Ghost Protocol.
The latest one was Thunarm.
Rogue Nation and Fallout were a creation of it.
I loved Rogue Nation.
Here's my favorite and kill Fallout.
It came out.
You know, it's funny though to me about Mission Impossible
is the people I associate with their franchise.
First and foremost, Mission Impossible,
I think of Tom Cruise.
Yes.
Second person I think of,
who's the second person you think of?
The second person you think of?
I'm gonna guess.
Yes.
Is Emilio S.O.S.
He's in it for five minutes.
I don't know why,
but I think you think of Emilio S.O.S.
I'm obsessed with Emilio S.O.S.
in the first Mission Impossible
because it was like they made a big deal
about him being in the cast and he dies
in the first five minutes.
And then it goes down to become this gigantic fucking franchise.
I would say he's got to be pissed about that.
He has to be.
I would say for me, it's probably...
Vingrams are Alec Baldwin.
Yeah.
Alec Baldwin is just a...
I was not on the side of that.
Vingrams been around all the throughout.
Vingrams wasn't in one of them though.
That's another one.
He was just not in that.
He was just a bit more...
Yeah, so bizarre.
But, and you could also make the argument that Mission Impossible isn't existing franchise.
It was a television show.
It was, it was, but nobody that watched those movies.
Great, fuck the theme song did.
Remember that.
That Mission Impossible theme song is fucking great.
Yeah, it really is.
I mean, there's a lot of Hokie stuff in it too, that I just like, that's staples of the
Mission Impossible franchise, like the...
Well, you just started making fun of it now
It's like what you all are playing like Halloween with all these masks
and like yeah, it was super cool in the 60s and now we still hold on were the masks a big deal in the 60s the show
Or was it just like something they could pull off for the movie? No, I think they did they did in the show too
I can't distinguish the Avengers and Mission Impossible in my head.
They're the same TV show.
The old, the old, the old, the old,
the British Avengers and Mission Impossible.
And also, I'll throw in Wild Wild West.
Like those three shows, obviously very different,
but it's like the same show in my head.
I couldn't tell you which one, one from the other.
Dude, I don't cast, it's all the same, everything.
I don't like that Avengers show
because you can relate to this, Jeff.
We grew up as comic book kids.
Yeah. And we were just waiting for them to make anything decent. We grew up as comic book kids. Yeah.
And we were just waiting for them to make anything decent.
They made the Batman movies and that was great.
And we had like one Superman movie from the 70s, you know, but that was made for TV
Captain America movie in like 1982.
I remember that.
There's a Roger Cormin Fantastic Four.
Roger Corbin Fantastic Four.
Go back and watch that one.
Although it's not like they made better Fantastic Four movies since then.
They're really trying to make that, that's a weird team of superheroes. That's the four. Go back and watch that one. Although it's not like a better fit has to form what we since then.
They're really trying to make that,
that's a weird team of superheroes.
Like we were talking last week on the podcast Chad and I
were talking about Mysterio being in the new Spider-Man movie.
And we were like wondering on when we recorded on Monday,
do you think they'll put the fish bowl on his head?
I don't know what happened.
I don't know what happened.
It was a weird coincidence.
We talked about it on Monday.
Tuesday morning the trailer comes out.
It was a Jake Jillard, all right? Yeah, Jake Jillard. Which is like, you know, it's kind a weird coincidence. We talked about it on Monday, Tuesday morning, the trailer comes out. It was a Jake Jillin Hall, right?
Yeah, Jake Jillin Hall.
Which is like, you know, it's kind of weird already.
Yeah, Jake Jillin Hall is a weird dude.
And you're seeing Nightcrawler?
I've not seen it.
I've not seen it.
I've heard good things and the new movie
by the Nightcrawler people that's starring him.
I saw the trailer for that yesterday.
I can't remember what it was called though.
Like Velvet Butterfly or something weird like that.
What was it?
Velvet Buzzsaw. Velvet buzzsaw.
Velvet buzzsaw, it looks really interesting.
Okay.
It's another weird Jake Gyllenhaal movie.
I also don't like him.
Why not?
I don't know.
I like him just fine.
It's up to me.
Bugs me how much people rag on Maggie Gyllenhaal.
Like there's some people who just really don't like her.
I don't get that either.
I also people like, I think she's really pretty.
I don't know if people are like insulting about her looks.
I think she's really,
I baggy if you're out there.
Hey, Jeff Single.
The guy who normally sits in the seat.
Put him in the guard with your brother.
He's a hundred and was seven,
71 pounds now.
Come on, 171 pounds of a pure Jeff Ramsey.
You can take him in a fight, Maggie.
Sarcasm and poor wit.
It's all I am.
Hey, I'm gonna read this other thing. People are bitching about spoilers in the Spider-Man trailer, though, which we'll get to in a fight, man. Starcasm and poor wit. It's all I am. Hey, I'm gonna read this other thing.
People are bitching about spoilers in the Spider-Man trailer, though, which we'll get to
in a second.

He's from Mad About You. Yeah. No, the guy, that's not the guy from Kirby about enthusiasm. He's from Mad about you.
Yeah. No. The guy, that's not the guy from
Kribu and Thusas. You're thinking about, uh,
no, he's also in curve. That was easy. Yeah. Okay. He is.
He's like all of the folks. He's, he's, he,
he did super deep's dead. Bob Einstein. But by the way,
I didn't learn until he died that he's Albert Brooks's brother.
I didn't know that either. I'd say, what a weird,
to what it, that was out. That's how I found out.
I don't get to see.
Albert Brooks is real name is Albert Einstein.
Are you fucking serious?
Yeah.
He's so much funnier than Albert Brooks.
Yeah.
I grew up, I don't know about you.
You don't like defending your life.
Albert Brooks is funny.
I've never seen defending your life as an adult.
So I don't know.
You like good place.
Yeah, I do.
I know.
I know.
Albert Brooks is another one of those dudes
to talk about comedians, comedian.
There is not a comedian or comedic actor over the like 40
who doesn't worship Albrebrooks in much the same way
people feel about Gary Stanley.
Especially comedy writers.
Yeah.
People fucking love Albrebrooks and I don't,
I just am ignorant of him because he was popular
when I was a kid.
Like guys like Dudley Moore and Albrebrooks,
I remember them because my mom was into him
but I don't remember anything about them.
Yeah.
But I fucking love Bob Einstein.
That dude was awesome.
So Super Dave was the shit when I was a kid.
You would be a tough sell for you to tell me
that Super Dave is funnier than Albert Brooks.
You fucking tin years old,
and Albert Brooks is doing a Heady God humor,
and you watch Super Dave get blown up by a rocket,
it's way funnier to attend your life.
I don't know where you're watching Wiley Coyote,
in real life.
With a dummy, in the very third.
That makes me even funnier.
You know, do you remember Agdal?
Where did you first see him?
Letterman.
Okay, I first saw him on a showtime talk show.
I remember that as far.
Yeah, you remember that?
What was that show, the guy that hosted that?
What ever happened to him?
He would have specials and stuff
on like HBO or showtime.
I remember that. He reminded me like an American Benny Hill, a little bit, a little bit. But this guy in the guy that hosted that? Whatever happened to you. He would have specials and stuff on like H.B. or Richett's time.
I remember that.
He reminded me like an American Benny Hill a little bit,
a little bit.
But this guy in the picture that I showed you
is Richard Kind and he was on Mad About You.
Yeah, Richard Kind, that's it.
And he has one of my favorite stories of all time
because he's apparently really good friends
with George Clooney and he's still live together
when they were broke actors.
And George Clooney is,
he's got a trait that I love,
which is he likes to play practical jokes.
I think practical jokes, well thought out ones,
not just like walking up, it's slapping somebody.
Well thought out practical jokes are such a sign
of affection to me.
Like you care so much, you're gonna like do something
over a long period of time to torture someone.
Thank you for saying that.
Why?
I agree.
When I, I torture people with jokes and practical jokes
and stuff, it's because I love them dearly.
It's true.
Yeah.
And the people that you don't care about, you just ignore.
Yeah.
Right.
I agree.
See, Olu, it's how I show affection.
Then you'll appreciate this.
Richard Kine, when he lived with George Clooney, you probably know the story.
He had a cat.
And so George Clooney woke up every day for a month at four in the morning before anybody
else was awake, went down, took the cat poop out of the
kitty litter box and took it outside and threw it away, like in a public trash can. So nobody would
know. And so Richard Kine was like eventually said, my cat's not using the litter box, but it's not
using it anywhere else. And he's worried about his cat, but they were broke actors. He's like,
I'm going to take it to the vet or whatever. So after a month of that, George Clooney paid off the joke
by woke up at four in the morning, went to the litter box
and took a huge dump and returned cup,
freaked out about his cat taking a human side poop.
And I just love this like, once again, nearly billionaire,
or you might be a billionaire now
with that fucking tequila company.
George Clooney just mentioned him starting off his career is huddled over dumping
Later ridiculous amount of money just of those nescaffees
I did you hear the story about the
That tequila brand is he made that he brought that tequila brand up to a billion dollars evaluation in four years dude
That's crazy. What was it trace amigos or something?
Yeah, I hear what he did with all of that and espresso money from when he started the reason he did that no in four years, dude. That's crazy. Was it Trace Amigos or something? Yeah.
I can hear what he did with all of that
and espresso money from when he started.
The reason he did that?
No.
Yeah.
I already made some like, $10 million.
There was a start during the espresso
as he took all that money and used it to fund a satellite
that stayed over South Sudan to monitor war crimes
and people in the area.
And like he would do the espresso commercials
just to pay for a satellite.
That's a better human being than I am.
It's like that's unbelievable.
That like to have that level of influence and wealth,
or is it like the brand would like
try to push that as much as possible.
Kudos to you, Mr. Cleary.
Mr. True.
Yeah.
I will, I will, I,
I'm not that good.
I'm not that good.
I never would have thought that.
Like, he's like, man, I wonder if I could pay for a satellite
to like sit in a region and just keep an eye on things
and make sure everyone's okay.
I also, Nescafe is one of those things
that I grew up as a kid thinking it was trash.
Like, just not fancy.
Like, I just, I remember.
Which one on Nescafe, like, instant coffee?
Yeah, like, that's the same thing.
It's not the same thing.
Nespresso is like. Fancy Kierig. Exactly right. Nespresso, right. No, like, this is that same thing. It's not the same thing. Nespresso is like,
French and Cureg.
Exactly right.
No, you fucking nailed it.
I know it is because when I was in Amsterdam,
there was an espresso store.
And when I was at that, in Paris recently,
on the Champs-Ales-A, there's an espresso store.
And you walk in and the machines are like $1,000.
And the espresso.
The very expensive.
Gorgeous though, because all the different pods.
Yeah, they have like 85,000 different pods.
They're all, they're all fucking kale.
They're all the other K pods too. It's like 85,000 different pods. They're all, they're like, they're K pods, too.
It's like, but I remember Nespresso and Nespresso as a kid being like, shit that you would
see next to folders.
Nespresso and Nespresso are two very different.
I remember them both though.
I swear, maybe I'm getting a wrong on my head.
You just need to the nest, it's throwing you in.
It might be the nest.
You're right, Nespresso was an instant coffee brand.
That must be what I'm thinking of.
Not to say.
Because I feel like I remember Nespresso as well.
I would always get Nespresso confused with the international flavors. What was it?
Like
the foreign coffee or whatever. Yeah, I think it was called international flavor international delight international
It's not an international flavor. What was the uh?
Yeah, we still have it. What was that drink that we discovered that we never heard of them?
Was it or post them?
Post them and it was like an alternative to coffee
that was popular in the threes,
but then coffee just won out.
It was like a bug.
Have you ever heard of that?
Have you ever heard of this?
No.
And they still sell it to this day.
We were able to, we were able to,
we were able to order off Amazon and everything.
No, it's just like a hot like,
the drink.
Is it malt?
I think it was.
Is it good?
We tried it, it wasn't bad.
One bad. It's like coffee. But it's malt. Is it good? We tried it, it wasn't bad. One bad.
It's like coffee.
Well, it doesn't have the caffeinated properties of coffee.
I don't think so.
Let me help you out.
Do you like to go to the coffee shop to get your coffee?
I do like to do.
I mean, I do it whatever, I don't care.
I like, I, like he was talking to you about Starbucks.
Starbucks is fine, I don't care.
But I do prefer, I'm really big into supporting local business and helping local entrepreneurs.
Uh-huh.
Or like, freeing those places.
Yeah.
Like I do all my grocery shopping at Fresh Plus because it's a local chain as opposed to-
Where is there a Fresh Plus in downtown?
There's one at Clarksville.
Yeah, it's like on Weston.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, like I might have to buy where now's is like Zocaloc.
That was when I was lived on West Campus in college.
It was Fresh Plus was all we had.
So I do the majority of my grocery shopping there.
I also have to go to Whole Foods for, like, some stuff.
But HB is local.
A HB is local, but I'm just not close to.
HB is actually the furthest away from where I live.
It's big, it's like, it's weird.
Something is big.
It's not often local, it's Texas local.
It's Texas local.
Trader Joe's winning me over too
with how fucking cheap it is.
God damn it.
That's definitely not local. I bought dinner and an entire week of lunch Let's text us a little bit. It's text logo. Trader Joe's winning me over too, with how fucking cheap it is. God damn it.
That's definitely not local.
I bought dinner and an entire week of lunch for a million a day for $22.
That's like, that doesn't get you a stake at Whole Foods.
Um, as I guess I didn't get you in the door, it's the cover chart.
Yeah, I know.
You're gonna try $25.
Whole Foods.
God damn.
Whole Foods are ridiculous too.
It's like, I do like some of the stuff at Whole Foods, but then occasionally I just like
I want like a Coke,
Diet Coke, and they think they just great
until you need batteries or any kind of usable cleaner
or sandwich bags.
Also Whole Foods, now that they have the Amazon integration,
you know, all the prime member,
if you're a prime member, you get discounts and stuff,
and they have the scanner for you.
But the, I don't know what it's like in the other Whole Foods,
but the downtown main branch where I go,
because it's close to where I live,
your phone's sucking there,
and I spend 15 minutes in front of the thing,
going like just load, just load, just load, just load.
And the people are always like,
you should just take a picture of it with your phone
and then just show us the picture.
Most people do that, the shit service in here.
They acknowledge it.
It's like everybody is like,
I normally open it before I get there.
That was refreshing.
You don't talk about that right?
It's like you just like,
and they have wife, you also have wife,
are you connected to the wife?
It helps out.
Except it doesn't work like it does it.
It doesn't work.
It doesn't work.
Great.
I love doing that too.
They're tracking your purchases if you do that.
They got sent in the grid, being identified.
They're gonna see what you look like 10 years ago
and now.
They actually used that against Garne Court.
What?
Remember that? Guy fell 10 years ago and now. Yeah, he used that against Guy and Court. What, remember that?
Guy fell in a supermarket and sued
and they used his club card.
They could track all of his purchases
and they, in court, they were like,
you buy a lot of alcohol, Mr. Jones.
Why do you?
I just, Mr. Jones being, it wasn't Michael.
Why does he ask about me, where I buy coffee?
Oh, cause I was gonna circle back to something.
Now that you said the local business thing,
I've steered away from it hard.
Oh, okay.
But it's, you could probably do it with like, chameleon coffee, but I get the Starbucks cold
coffee in the fridge.
Yeah, the cold brew.
And I just, I nuke it for like a minute and it's, it's better than the coffee I'm making
my pot.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
And the other thing too is, I'm really sensitive to Jeff drinking coffee because he's
taking one suggestion from me, his entire life. One suggestion, he bought a coffee pot because I suggested it
and it broke.
So I like when Jeff talks about coffee, I get like a
pang of guilt.
I got a lemon.
I got a lemon coffee maker from you.
That's okay though.
It was an Alexa driven coffee maker.
It just doesn't.
It's Alexa.
What's wrong with it?
It just doesn't make coffee?
It only eats immediately.
Oh, oh, that's right.
I think we talked about this.
It's a whole thing.
Which I had the experience,
because Riceier was watching my place
when I was gone for a while.
And he was, I think it was Riceier.
He was trying to make coffee.
And I kept getting this alert on my phone
because it's a Wi-Fi Alexa coffee maker,
totally necessary in today's, you know,
paste lifestyle.
But he could've been alerted
that it was over temperature, over temperature.
And I never heard of it. And this is the problem that Jeff has. So been alerted that it was over temperature, over temperature, and I never heard of it,
and this is the problem that Jeff has.
So I called, I think it was John.
I called him and I said, what are you doing
to the coffee pot right now?
What are you doing?
He said, I'm trying to put water in.
I could use cold water, using hot water.
And he said, hot water, I said, you fool.
It works for me with both.
It fucks up with both.
But it's a Starbucks stuff.
I like that.
So get a cold coffee, put it in your fridge,
and then you'll be fine.
And then I'll have to live with the guilt
of this coffee maker that you got.
Oh, I feel like when coffee places sell that cold brew,
they're trying to have it both ways though.
Why?
They always put that on the label.
They're like, it's the whatever cold brew,
you can also drink it hot.
Like, fuck you.
Make up your mind.
What are you selling me?
Are you selling me cold coffee or selling me hot coffee?
Dude, I, listen, we have totally different approaches
to eating and drinking.
You and I, because I came into the office today
and I hit my eating window
and they had tacos from like nine in the morning.
Who brought them in, Andrew?
You brought them in?
I think it's Andrew.
And so I just ate the egg and the bacon
out of the middle of the taco
and I thought it was like 3 p.m.
That I'm doing this.
And it's like they were,
they've been sitting on the counter
for six or seven hours, but it's like, I just don't give a shit. Like I even went like a p.m. that I'm doing this. And it's like they were, they've been sitting on the counter for six or seven hours,
but it's like, I just don't give a shit.
Like I even went to a pot of coffee.
I'll go the next day, the pot of coffee
still sitting there from yesterday
and I just warmed that up in the microwave and drink.
I'm such a bitch about that.
I actually last night, if I open my fridge
and I smell anything that doesn't smell fresh,
like I'm like, I open my, I gotta with,
I'm like, that doesn't smell right?
I threw everything in the fridge away. Because then I start thinking like, I'll find, I gotta whip it up, like that doesn't smell right? I threw everything in the fridge away.
Because then I started thinking like,
I'll find the contaminated thing in the thing that went bad.
But then I think like, it's in a box,
just traveling germs traveling around in the box,
the whole time.
It's like mold sports.
Or mold sports.
It's all gotta go.
And I'm sure I threw away a ton of totally fine food last night.
But I was so grossed out by the idea
that it was too close in proximity,
the bad stuff to the good stuff
that I just had to get rid of it all.
I found some dampness in my fridge the other day
and I started freaking out.
Why is this wet?
You should absolutely freak out.
Like, where did that come from?
That's not right.
It wasn't made that way.
Didn't start out that way.
I didn't make it that way.
No, you didn't.
I can always tell you,
and I know you're looking for a place.
I've heard you're in the...
That's partly trying to buy a house.
How is that?
You know, I had a perfect place that I held on to
and rented to Ezra for like a year. And that had been a great place. It was not in Z sounded like, you know, I had a perfect place that I held onto and rented to Ezra for like a year.
And that had been a great place.
It was not in the zilquery,
you can't have a watch.
I never saw it.
I heard about it.
No room.
Roundabouts where it is, I would have loved it.
It just said it would have been perfect for you
because it was just one bedroom too short
for me and the boys.
I only need two bedrooms.
And you only need two.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I guess you say that you can tell the difference
between somebody who's been a homeowner
and somebody who hasn't, when you make the comment,
does anyone else hear running water?
Because running water, I'm like, I don't know,
is there running water?
And a homeowner be like, is there water running?
Is it right now?
Do you hear it?
Because water running is like the worst sound
if you're a homeowner.
It's basically the foundation of your house
is being slowly eating away by some leaks somewhere.
God, the homeowner is something like more than something like rotting right now.
As you're sitting here, it's kind of the reverse of like every time you say it,
you get a dollar, every time you count up, you get a dollar.
Every second that passes that you don't find that leak, you're losing a dollar.
Yeah, it adds up so fucking quickly, so fucking quickly.
Yeah, it does.
Did I ever say that to anything that we as you was living in my place?
Yeah, the fucking I'm gonna. Yeah, it does. Did I ever say that to anything that happened? We had Ezra was living in my place.
Yeah, the fucking, I got a,
it's like $1800 water bill.
Like what the fuck is this?
Fucking run down the middle of the night
because you go back and forth to LA.
And I walk in the front door and I hear water running.
And I go in the first floor toilet is just running.
And I just went like this, chiggle and stopped at $18.
You say you're just going to sell $1800?
Yeah, or yeah, or it's like,
I could have been saved $18.00.
So it's like, like that.
But it didn't matter because Ezra was like,
he was like, don't sweat out
as close to the end of Austin, gonna take it off.
I'm like, yeah, fuck good luck with that.
And he did.
Yeah, it was like,
It was like, no one ever does that.
I'm here, it's for you.
Here's how that went too.
Ezra's like, I think I probably know a guy.
That motherfucker knows a guy.
Every, he's like Danny DeVito and always sunny.
He's got a guy for everything.
Yeah, I don't know how he does it.
Yeah.
It's the fucking bizarre.
Yeah.
Yeah, one time when I was living in an apartment,
the, my electricity bill was normally like 70 or 80 bucks.
One month I got a bill for like 800 bucks.
I was like, well, that's obviously not right.
I call the city.
They would not do anything about it.
No, yeah.
They were like, no, you used $800 worth of electricity.
That is impossible. Yeah. There's no, you used $800 worth of electricity. That is impossible.
There's no way I used $800 worth of electricity.
What is your electricity bill every month?
I mean, I can tell you by electricity
or the utility bill, because the utility bill is like
whatever.
City of Austin, the city of Austin utilities,
probably 160?
You're, how?
I was at the old house.
With, it was like 350 a month.
Yes.
I always heard about that.
People like, oh, my electricity bill
is about $150 a month.
I'm like, I have, that would be,
like, Halloween or the clouds would be hard.
Do you have a gas heat or electric?
I've lived in so many different houses.
My electricity bill is always like
right around $400 a month.
And in the summer,
general utility bill.
There were months like when Gavin
or Ben would stay with me
and they'd be out in the studio.
Yeah, I get a $7,800 electric bill a month,
or a $9 bill because they're doubling up on the electricity.
My ex would do the thing too, where God damn,
didn't understand how a thermostat works,
where it's like 68 degrees in the house
and she wants it to be 72 degrees in the house.
So she just makes me 80.
So she makes me 80. Yeah, and I'm like sweating like 68 degrees in the house and she wants it to be 72 degrees in the house. So she just makes her miss that to 80.
And I'm like sweating like I'm in a sauna
and I go in the thermostats on 80.
Yeah, it's not blowing hotter air.
It's just gonna blow for long.
It's like I mean, they're faster.
That's why everyone when we're growing up,
our fucking parents are like,
shut off the light, shut off the light,
turn off the lights, turn off lights.
You know, when you leave a room
and all the kids are like,
oh, who cares?
I think my, my,
it's like a penniest ink and,
when I was a kid,
the utility bill was $179.54.
That's amazing.
How, what do you say, the dark?
New construction maybe.
Yeah, I don't know.
I remember, half of what I remember about my dad,
when I think about him,
the first thing that pops into my head,
well, I stepped to some, like,
sad, close to death stuff,
is my dad following me around my entire life
well that he was my dad.
So from like a 12 on, going,
do I look like I work for Alabama power?
I'm like, what does that mean?
And he's like, are you in the bathroom right now?
And I'm like, no, and he's like, the lights on,
like you are, and I'm like,
ah fuck, I'm just gonna turn around.
I do that and I'm like, when I grow up,
I am not gonna be this asshole.
I'm not gonna run around,
nickel and dine and everybody in my family
over the fucking electric bill.
And now I follow a million around and I go,
hey, are you in your closet?
Will this last time you were in your closet?
Were you in your closet today?
Cause the lights on has it been on for 24 hours?
You need to buy a costume like you work
for City of Austin.
I should.
And then I can hear myself doing it.
And I'm like, oh, dude, I suck.
Millie must hate me right now.
And then I think, yeah, well, Millie's not paying
the electric bills, so it doesn't matter.
The nickel's worth it.
I have switched out most of the outlets in my house
with like Alexa-driven ones, you know,
that are automated ones.
Oh, well, that's where your energy's going.
Where men?
Well, I've just used the energy to get on set in power.
That's like, in the last six months,
I did that, I'm talking going back like 15 years,
I never understood.
Like when I lived in an apartment in Austin,
people were like, oh, my electricity bill
is 120 bucks this month,
I'm just like, how?
How?
And I'll get it.
I always thought people were lying to me.
But I guarantee that those switches
have all paid for themselves
because I can turn everything off.
Like I literally just go turn everything,
every fucking thing in my house, that's one of my categories for Alexa, because I can turn everything off. Like I literally just go turn everything, every fucking thing in my house,
that's one of my categories for Alexa,
turn off every single goddamn light.
I'm slowly moving all the lights over to smart plugs,
and it's awesome.
Yeah, by the way, sorry for everyone who's got one of those devices,
I keep saying the name of it, and I know what happens.
All right, so, well, we're, we're,
wait, it's time to wrap up.
There's a couple of things I wanted to say,
what the fuck are you talking about?
I'm gonna tell you this right now, I guess,
like take this into consideration.
The second we shut this podcast down,
you're gonna spend 15 to 20 minutes
helping me fix my phone on my watch.
That's right.
All right.
Let me ask you a question,
let me ask you a question real quick though.
Because this is kind of a current event.
And then we can talk about it in the post show
if you guys want to.
But are you at all upset about Trump serving
fast food at the White House?
Is that like, are you guys? upset about Trump serving fast food at the White House.
Is that like, are you guys?
I think it's a shitty way to host an event.
Okay.
Okay.
I am not upset that he served fast food at an event
because it's not like Clinton wasn't obsessed
with McDonald's.
But he did get relentless shit for eating McDonald's.
He did get relentless shit.
It's more of just like kind of the way he did.
It seemed weird to me.
Also built a way he was like.
He was like McDonald's when he's out on a jog.
Now when he's hosting a fucking event at the White House.
You don't want to like, you don't understand
people's motivations and stuff,
but if he had done that for like a bunch of visiting CEOs and he thought that was funny or clever
He's like I had Elon Musk and all these guys over to do a climate summit and I decided I'm paying so I got everybody pizza or whatever
But something about him bringing in a bunch of
Young
Probably urban football players and just kids in general and then bragging about how he bought them all McDonald's and fast food. It felt weird, but I mean, they are
No, I don't give a shit like I didn't have to eat it. I mean, it's like I mean people probably all eat fast food all day
I'm really upset by people. I'm not nearly as upset as not appropriate for hosting an event
I don't know why it happens, but who gives this shit? I mean, it's like also it's like
The other shit he does. How about that?
Right exactly. I was like,
people are wasting their time fucking,
to me it's the equivalent of,
you remember when Obama caught hell?
For wearing a tan suit.
For wearing a tan suit.
Jesus Christ.
And people fucking lost their minds over the fact
it was unpresidential that he wore a tan suit.
Or when he put his feet up on the desk.
To me this is the same fucking category.
Yeah.
Or when he saluted the Marine wrong.
I'll say this.
These are 20 year old athletes.
There's college athletes.
They're 20 or 21 years old.
They go to the White House.
They see in a Big Mac.
They're probably actually pretty excited about that.
We're gonna feed them what?
S. Cargo and stuff like that.
Who gives you a stick?
Oh, okay.
A fucking hamburger that gets made there,
or take it out of the box and present it.
I know.
If Michael Jones went to the Obama White House,
he got invited there because who knows why? You know, the old's going it. I know. If Michael Jones went to the Obama White House, he got invited there, because who knows why?
You know, the world's going down.
He was nugged up.
Yeah, and Obama pulled out a bunch of talk about
and Fed and Michael Jones talked about.
Everybody would think that was fucking weird.
He's like eight years older than these guys.
Look, I don't, and none of them complained about it.
I think it should be pretty clear where,
if you watch a lot of a team on a content,
at least where my political leanings are.
Xbox.
But, gems of war.
Yeah.
But, I do think that we look for reasons to be upset
with public figures and politicians,
and we look a little too hard.
And if you wanna be outraged and upset with Trump,
there's a lot of more important shit
to be outraged and upset with over what he's serving
at dinner.
Like, was it a little sketchy?
Maybe, who gives a shit?
Was it stupid?
Was it stupid?
Maybe it was stupid.
But, is that what you should be pissed off about right now?
Wasting your time complaining about.
Yeah, I think it's actually way more even damaging than that,
because I have so many people that I follow,
they spend all of their time every waking minute,
it seems like railing on Trump.
And we talk a lot about Trump too,
because I don't like Trump.
I don't like him.
But if it's just, I don't.
But I don't feel like I spend every waking minute talking about,
I get called out every time I talk about him on my,
but somebody, so I pretty much know every time I've talked about him and yeah, it happens
Fairly frequently because he's the president, but I don't spend every waking minute of my life doing it
Which is what some of the people I follow on Twitter do what they don't realize is that they are
Allies of Trump. They are proponents of Trump and they don't realize it because the people that vote for Trump and people like Trump,
they don't vote for him for his economic policies,
they don't vote for him for foreign affairs.
The reason they vote for him is he pisses off
the cry baby liberal and snowflakes.
That's why they like him.
And when you get upset about fucking McDonald's
for college athletes, for 20 year olds,
who gives a shit?
It also feeds that narrative
than the Fox News can then go
and very accurately report that all they talked about
on CNN and MSNBC yesterday was what Trump fed football players.
Right.
And not the issues and not the things that matter.
And they broken with breaking news to talk about
Trump buying big Macs when they should have been talking
about immigration or starting the government up again or whatever that and it like to your point
It just strengthens his base. Yeah, it's like you're helping you're helping because that's what they want to see
And they like Trump they don't like you. It's no problem in the country. Right. Trump is fucking
No matter what he is not the problem and he's them hating you. That's the fucking problem
I just want to piss you off exactly and it's working. Yeah, and you fall right into it and you play the part of like
They just want to piss you off exactly. It's working. Yeah, and you fall right into it and you play the part of like yeah, yeah, yeah, getting upset about him and
Complain about that thing. I'm always so surprised about when I see people I would never in a million years
Followed no butter and I see my friends when they like we tweet stuff and they were part of like what I only know about it because you
Yeah, why are you why are you feeding this like you're when I see people do that? It's like you're you're a part of the problem
You're complaining. It's like the old triassahor, just don't look.
Yeah.
Just don't look.
Yeah, absolutely.
100%.
All right, let's wrap this up.
Awesome, Clemson's in ACC school.
So let's just, let's take this grounded in reality.
We'll see you guys next time.
We're lucky they got saltines.
Bye.
Bye-bye.拜拜 Do you like apples? All right, example.
