And, uh, yeah, that was rough. It was, it was a shit show. Yeah. I don't even know. Have you ever seen it when he hosts it? Yeah, no, that's what I was saying. It was worse than that. That's hard to believe it. Yeah, it was pretty good. I mean, I thought you did a great job. Oh, well,

thank you. I watched it. I don't know if it was great, but thank you. Thank you. I would say it was at least an A-. I'll say this, we renewed the 24 hour contract. Yeah, after you did it. Still here. Still here? Yeah. Yeah. It's his contract. I don't renew to every day.

You do? Yeah, yeah. That's what I think that Jeff has said very, very consistently. Is that like, I'm not on like, you know how people just like normally get employment and then you're like, you're here until you screw up. Well, mine is just like 24 hours and it's like, yeah, you did a good job today. Maybe we'll just do it in the 20 hours. It just do it close on the same contract. Yeah, oh Really enough. I thought you were still an intern

You get paid here You paid in Gatorade Well, they have a cool Gatorade out there. I mean a cool G gatorids. That's in your two. They're like a can. I thought they looked cool and then it said throwback. That's like a tell. It's a cool gatorid. You mean like the soda can gatorids? Yeah, those are cool.

Was it in here? That's a throwback. That's a thing that used to exist. Can't get in. What's what they used to look like back in the day? How long ago? Was I born yet? I was in high school, so maybe not. It was

definitely like that in the 90s. Okay. It must have been like early 90s born. Maybe yeah. Who knows? Are you a young man? Yeah, I'm 25. Oh my God. Yeah, I know the young man. I'm not the youngest one though. Oh, no, you are not. I'm not. Not by far. Plus the Lord. You're almost half my age. Well. Oh my god. Is that weird to think about? 21 years younger than me. This is my fuck over here. Wow. But you look younger. I do. Thank you. You do. You look great.

You look great. I look great. I think everybody looks great. Everybody looks fantastic. I pride myself on feeling like I look younger than I am a little bit, just a little bit, not by much, maybe like a year or two. And someone was doing my makeup for something this week. And we were talking about age and high school and stuff like that. And she's like, oh, how old are you?

Because I think you're probably around the age of my friend Charlie. And I was like, oh, I'm 32. and she goes, oh, my friend Charlie is 36. And I went, oh, that's sad. You thought I was 36. Oh my God. I would argue that 32 and 36 are around the same age. No.

I don't really think so. I don't think so. Oh, man, after 30, that stuff stops counting like that. I feel like 34, I would say like 30, 30 to 34, I would say maybe looks similar. But like once you get over 35, I think that's when you start to. So you're saying like 35 is like the death age. Maybe. Is that a goal post that you keep pushing?

Like did it start at 30 and you're like, what's your 30? That's what you look at when you hit 30. You're like, no, it's 35. It definitely did. Yeah. Yeah. I remember being like 22. And being like, man, 28 souls. Are you still carted?

I am. I got carted this weekend. I was buying me at the Renfair. I mean, you are forever young. I'm forever a little young. In my life, I've been carted more of buying video games than I have alcohol. What? Have more of buying video games than I have alcohol What have you bought more video games than alcohol at this point? It can't be the case. Okay

Why are you get carded for oh well? I guess yeah, yeah, I'm ready games. No, it was like yeah 28 going to buy like Halo or something. They're like could I see your ID sir? I was like, no way, no. And they're like, why? I'm like, it's an even higher order. Oh, oh, oh. What is that? 18? Yeah. It's 17, 18. So that you're under 17?

I have no idea how. Man, boys. Look so young. You guys age like fine wine. Oh. I age like already spoiled milk. Like it's already spoiled. And then it just gets worse.

Just like solidifies and then. See, I wouldn't even, I wouldn't even say like looking at you look like you're in your 30s. I thought you were in your 20s when I first met you. Just my new favorite. In all seriousness though, like I had no idea. Oh, thank you. So.

Oh, I mean, so. I think I look. Oh, I don't know. Oh no, 16. Can't buy those How are you Jeff? Yeah, who me? Yeah, how am I I haven't seen you in a while? Is that true have we seen each other recently? I don't know podcast content. Oh, I've seen you I don't know how Jeff how I

I don't think I see you in like four years Definitely pre-pandemic. Yeah. I'm okay. How are you? Good. Yeah. Yeah.

I realized I was getting ready for today. I wasn't supposed to do this until yesterday. And so I found out yesterday I was doing this. And I thought, oh, I should come up with all the stuff I'm going to talk about. So I looked at my notes. I have a ton of stuff to talk about, but it's all related to the other thing I do. It's all related to the face podcast. It's all related to the face podcast. Yeah, It's all related. It wouldn't make sense.

It's a Facebook, yes. Yeah, the face thing. So, I'm going to a bit of a loss for what to discuss. We could be your testing ground for the stories. How do you got, all right, let me just ask you this question. We think the perfect couple looks like. You ever thought about cups? It needs finger grips.

Like, are we talking cup or glass? I'm talking cup specifically. Like plastic. I'm done with glasses. Okay. I had, I bought, when I moved into my new house, a couple years ago now, I bought like 12 glasses, right? And I'm down to like four.

I pulled another one out of the dishwasher cracked. And I'm just sick of glasses breaking. So I thought, fuck this, I'm going back to plastic. Plastic doesn't break, well, eventually. But the half life on plastic is way longer than glass, right? And so I started thinking about cups and trying to figure out what the perfect cup is. And it's, I don't know, and I've been polling people.

Everybody has, everybody has an opinion. I'd like to get yours. My opinion is, and Joe, you might not know these yet, but the plastic, reusable take home Rudy's cup. It is so funny you say that that is the number one answer of almost everybody at least. Really? It's because we have so many of them because a lot of restaurants in Austin have that exact cup.

It's like the same cup length. Hot godly. Rudy's, I think that's a mighty fine. Mighty fine. Yeah, mighty fine asm. And it's just like standard size, you could put your whole hand around it. Pretty much hold it while there's some like of the bigger cups that are a little too big.

Because if that's full of like what you can't any two hands to hold it. So I went to Zuzu the other day and they had plastic cups and you could take them home if you buy them. So I did and it's like the Rudy's cup but it's bigger. It's might be what you're describing, but I have, you know, man hands. I got man hands, so I find it to be quite enthralling,

and now I'm trying to figure out how to get more without having to go to Zuzu every day. Or maybe I want to collect a bunch of, I'm just, I've been, I got cups on the brain lately. Or you could like take some people there and be like, you gotta give me your cups. That's a good idea, that's a good idea. I think the best cup is.

Joe. Well, I don't know what the cup you guys are talking about. I've been to Rudy's. I've been to Rudy's, but I didn't get a drink there. How do you go to a restaurant and I get a drink? Well, because at the time I was like trying to cut out like, so does it. Do you like a couple of water?

So I just like, hydrating? Yeah, it's got water. So it's to cut out liquids. Yeah, all the way there. Yeah, you could do the little water cup that they give you. You don't get the Rudy's cup, though, for sure. Yeah, but you get like a little tiny, little plastic.

Like you do like a shot glass for that. Yeah, but I think the perfect cup for me, it would be like, you know, like those glasses where they're like kind of rounded at the bottom, like the glass. They're really good at that. And around it and they come up like this, you know, talking about like that.

But just plastic. Just plastic. Interesting. That's probably the only answer of that, I imagine. Yeah, I haven't got one for it. It's pretty much mostly Rudy's cups. Are you like inventing your own glass right now? Yeah, I think I'm thinking about getting a patent for it.

Well, listen. Go on Shark Tank. We have a company that does that. It's called Uniform. And it's a fuck-s-s-s. Sorry, we don't talk about that. We have a company that does that. It's called Uniform. And it's a fuck-sister. Sorry, we don't talk about that. We invent products there. I'll be inventing some cups soon.

That's why I'm partially taking all your feedback. Your idea, just got stolen. Thank you. Are we gonna sell the perfect cup in there? I'm going to push very hard for us to sell the perfect cup. It's gonna be called the perfect cup. It's already got a name, but I can't talk about it. Andrew and I came up with a last last.

It just wants to tell you whatever's in it. It'll say a lot about it, yeah. Yeah, it will. I'm really jazzed about it. Can't wait to see it. Can't wait to see my cup come to it. It's the problem. Without my name on it.

Right. It should be called the joke cup. Well, no, if it was my cup, I'd call it the perfect cup of Joe. Oh. He's doing it. He's doing it. He's doing it. Right. It should be have been brought up before you. I don't know if you guys have talked about it on fuck face. Don't do it. Do you think there are more wheels or doors in the world? This has been a major topic of discussion in my house

because my girlfriend is also on TikTok. OK. And apparently that's a big damn deal right now. We went and counted all the wheels and doors in the house. What was that more of? Way more doors. I had 55 doors in my house. Something like 20 something wheels.

Oh, are we talking like cabinets and stuff? Cabin doors count. That's the big doors, the doors did. Every time I was talking about like handled doors. Fridge and the person sized doors. That's the first time. That's the first time. That's the first time. That's the first time.

The first time. People were that size time. People are counting hot wheels, wheels of wheels. So if you're gonna count that, you gotta be able to count cabinet doors. Oh, yeah. Because I forgot about toys. Or like wheels on a, you have like a kitchen island table.

Your wheels on that. I still think it's wheels. I still think it's wheels. I still think it's wheels. You think it's wheels? I guess because every car has four wheels, but every car, not every car. A lot of cars have four doors. Or five.

Or five. But then you think about like, then there's also a barrier in the trunk. Maybe there's a hanger, right? Where it's only got like a couple points of entry. And then the big hanger doors. But inside, it's a mass, right, where it's only got like a couple points of entry, and then the big hanger doors. But inside, it's a mass collection of hot wheels. How?

Yes, I've guessed it. Yes, this chair has like four or five wheels. Yeah, it's like six million wheels to like seven doors. You know what I mean? What if some of those hot wheels have articulating doors? Fuck. Just put a hole in my argument. I think about like this.

With the exception of a motorcycle or a bicycle, I guess I would say every car has doors. Maybe a dune buggy doesn't, but how many dune bugs are there in the world, right? Yeah. Essentially every car has at least two doors. Every car has four wheels, well probably five wheels if you've got a spare. So there is some disparity, potential disparity there.

But how many, but there are houses all over the world with zero wheels, I guarantee you. See, I just like, I guess I wouldn't call a cabinet a door. According to my girlfriend, it fits the letter of the definition. What would you, what would you, what would you, what is that, what is that thing that you're opening? Is it a cabinet door?

It's a cabinet door. A cabinet. But it's a cabinet door. Okay, just like a different. There's a, the entire thing, the entire thing is the cabinet. That's why there's a difference to be like, it's door and a door weight. Yeah, I don't even have a cabinet. Is the actual thing and then that's the cabinet door.

Yeah. Jeff did not count correctly if he got 20 wheels. Fuck you, I did too. I don't know how to count. I know exactly how many wheels were in my house. Very few. Yeah. Did you count like desk chair wheels?

I don't have any desk chair wheels. Oh, oh, you're fancy. You think? You've got a wheelie chair. I just don't have a lot of wheels in my house. Okay, no, that's fair. You count the wheels on the bottom of your refrigerator? My fridge doesn't have wheels.

Mine doesn't have wheels. What? You guys don't have fridges where you like, you know, when they're installing them, it's like there's no little way. They were like, we're installing this. It's like there's no little they were like we're installing this Pick it now. It's there forever. I bought a new refrigerator today. Oh Finally after how long of that old one being a well difficult

Here's the problem. Oh no This will also be content for the other podcast, but I I priced out of fridge last year Joe But for the space that I need it It's a very expensive very big fridge. It has to be the certain size sub zero fridge and It's it's like buying a car, right? And so I didn't pull the trigger because my Lumpy ass old fridge still kind of works in it was some of the works

I'm not of it works that I don't wanna spend that money. But when I didn't buy it, they told me, you should come in and you should buy it now because the lead time, because of supply chain issues, it's like eight weeks, it can be two months before you get your fridge. Yeah. So I went back today and I said,

you know what, I'm gonna pull the trigger on that fridge and they said, okay, it'll be here next February. No. That's a lot longer than eight weeks. That's a lot longer than eight weeks now. And it's currently- Supply changing. Did it March?

Yeah, it's a year. Holy shit. Yeah. I gave them all the money today though. Okay. Well, now that they changed mine, I'm trying to fridge you guys sooner. In a year, I'll find that if that fridge fits. All right, I can't wait.

If it doesn't, then I will- I guess send it back and wait another year. When February is coming. They didn't give me a specific date. They just said early February. Well, we got to make a schedule for the RTPod guest. The fridge fitting. Yeah, my fridge fitting.

Exactly. Live stream it, maybe. Is it like a commercial size fridge? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It'd be so funny if it didn't fit. It's too big. For some of us. I feel like you would sooner just get a new house.

Like I spilled some salsa out of it today. My existing fridge and I was on the ground like cleaning it and I was like this thing is I came with the house and the house is 100 years old so the fridge is close to that. But it's still mostly functions. Barba's seen it. The majority of the things it does. It doesn't illuminate cold drinks. It makes ice, but the ice is full of rust, so we don't need the ice.

It doesn't spray water anymore, and if it did, I certainly wouldn't drink it. But it keeps eggs cold and whatnot. It's missing about half of its shelves because they keep breaking from, I guess, extreme age. But anyway, so I was cleaning it this morning and I was looking at it. And I was like, this thing is just fucking old and sucky. And I didn't pick this. I'm going to do it. I'm going to go to the store and I'm just going to say, screw it. I'll take out a loan if I have to. And I'll buy this stupid fridge. And then so I didn't. I felt so good about myself. And then the lady goes, all right, you'll have it in a year and I thought, fuck me. Is there a chance that it comes here?

Can't win for losing. There's always a chance. There's always a chance. Yeah. She told me, I asked that. I said, one of the chances I might come a little early and she said, it's far more likely to be significantly later than that. That's a big, yeah.

It probably could be two February's for now. You know what this reminds me of? Whenever I try to schedule a haircut or hair color with your girlfriend, who owns the salon and is a always booked up and that's like, I'll go and fill a bill and June. I go, okay. You know what sucks about that too?

It'll be like, hey, I was thinking, let's go to Vegas for the weekend. She'll go like, when do you want to go? And I'm like, I don't know, like maybe in a month, she's like, yeah, I'm booked up through July. Yeah. So you have to tell me when you want to go on vacations, four or five months in advance so that I can set the time aside.

So I get stung by it too. Yeah, very popular. The salon must be pop. Yeah, it's poppin' as they say. I need to know where that is, because I'm trying to beach my hair again. Well, they can do that for you next February. That's good. Do you get for next year's RTX?

Yeah, yeah, next year, not this year. Think you're gonna go back to the bleach? Yeah. I wanna go back to, well, I have to do like a rose color, something that, oh, rose color. I owe to my community that I'm streaming and stuff. Oh, is this like a donation thing level that you hit? Stretch goal.

Yeah, yeah, it was something that they did towards like the middle of last year. And I just didn't get done because life was just so crazy I was like I don't want to go get my hair hair done right now, so you heard that looks real good. Thank you You just got it right. Yeah, it uh It's a little all over the place right now though. Like I don't know what's going on my hair's like super wavy right now So it's just kind of like flopping over and going this way and going that way I feel like a lot of people are would be envious of that hairstyle. I mean, it's just...

It's just effortlessly. All natural. I mean, the mistake of deciding to bleach my hair because I wanted to be very, very blonde and then realizing that I'm too pale for it because I turned into all one color. And then I was like, I wanna go back to my moron and natural color.

And so we went to that. I realized that it's not exactly my natural color. So my roots are growing at a little bit. And my roots are just a little bit lighter than this color. So it looks like I'm graying. Because if you have like kind of blonde coming in with like a brownish blonde, it looks like it almost looks like it's gray. I noticeably lighter color.

Yeah. At the very, very roots. So I'm like, I don't know what to do about that. And I can't see Emily until 2023. So like, very roots. So I'm like, I don't know what to do about that. And I can't see Emily until 2023. So, you know. And that's like, you know, might be even later. Yeah, that's no chance of earlier. Just embrace it and go full gray like Johnny Knoxville did. I would. Yeah. I would. I feel like a lot of people could pull off the gray really good. Yeah. You pull off the gray really good. Oh, thanks.

Got some salt and pepper in the beard. Dude, I just got my beard shaved today by my actually my girlfriend. And it was like, it was just, it just looked like an old dying man's pubes on the ground. It was just all gray beard here. Yeah, I didn't realize how gray it was until I saw it. So I swept it up.

So you swept it up. Pretty gray. Old man pubes. Yeah. Cole's gonna be forever young. Are you graying at all? Maybe, I don't know. Every time I look, I'm like, is that gray of like no, I just have bad lights?

Yeah, bad lights. I was talking about the gray hairs. Do you? Really? I do. When I like push my hair the other way, it's just like a lot of white hairs, I have a ton. So you guys are all hiding it.

Destiny always sells me. She's, like she's always just like, you're gonna be like salt and peppered by the time you're 30, I'm like, yeah. No. No. Don't you say that. Don't stress.

That's all stress. I think it's very cool gray hair. I wish people were more accepting of it. No, gray hair is actually a, it's a look. Especially I feel like the, it's a really good look when you have like very, very dark hair and then some like sprinklin. I think that's a good look.

I'm into it. I dig it. That's why you see that's why Jeff is such a handsome, handsome man. Well, let's not go that far. Oh. It's all the gray. Oh my God. This episode of The Rishi the Podcast is brought to you by Chime.

I think I might have messed up my system. So you probably can't talk about it too much, but you were on a big shoot this last week.

It was. Yeah. Very exciting. A few of us, yeah, we were doing a big shoot for something that hopefully you'll see maybe around the summertime, maybe a little earlier than that. But it was like one of those shoots that was like 7am to 7pm every day. And I was like, got a bust out the Red Bulls. And then I realized by like day three of the shoot that I hadn't pooped.

That's the Red Bull. In three days? No. And I should probably stop drinking Red Bull because that's something like, I was just having like one or two a day, which is probably more than anyone should have at any point in time.

I had two just this morning, because I was in third. Yeah, I've had three monsters in that Red Bull today. I was shaking though, like after. I cured myself. I went on vacation to Mexico and now I wake up at seven and go to bed at midnight. I don't know what happened.

I hate you, Cole. I hate you so much. But also Jeff, don't do that. I've been doing that since they've been in existence. I think it's two monsters. Three. I think three of them. I monsters and a Red Bull today. I had two white ones, an orange one,

and then I had that red bull, and I'll probably have something else. What's the best monster flavor? Okay, what's the best monster flavor? We've been talking about it a lot. I'm a white monster stand, I really dig them. But I've been drinking the orange one lately. It's kind of like cream sickle.

I really dig it. I really, really dig it. The red, the pink one's okay. But I don't. Is that the frosé rosé? I think so, yeah. But I tend to stick to the tin calorie ones, so I'm more limited in the palate.

Yeah, yeah. It's crazy because there's like 50 flavors in a half of them or coffee. Yeah, I can't roll with any of the coffee stuff. No, they're not good. No, it's not. I, the purple ones are all right. They're never had the purple one. I, not good. No, it's not. I, the purple ones are it? They're never had the purple.

Yeah. I, uh, I discovered a new monster flavor. It's like the mango one, one of the mango ones that they have. It's actually really good. Really? I don't know what it's, I don't know what the flavor's called.

It's like a blue, it's like a bright blue can with like, I think yellow, yeah, the fiesta flavor or something. Yeah, I don't know what it is. Mangoes really hit or miss. I feel like it tastes like, mango, it tastes like a fruit you don't know what it is. Mangoes really hit or miss. I feel like it tastes like a fruit you don't know, but it's there.

I feel like it's usually hit over miss. You think so? I think most of the time. I like mangoes, but mango flavored stuff sometimes is like wildly different than what I feel like a mango tastes like. You had a pineapple flavor red bulls' weekend. I did.

Yeah, we had a lunch together, me, Trevor, Joe, and his lady. Yes, I don't know if you've said her name, probably. I did. Yeah, we had a lunch together. Mm-hmm. Me, Trevor, Joe, and his lady. Yes, I don't know if you said her name, probably. I have. Destiny. Yeah. We went to Hey Maker. Oh, nice. Yeah. Yeah, it was my first time there. It's really great. Introduced Destiny to the Habanero Pickled Egg, which is my favorite. Did they still have the fluffernutter crystal there? I don't think they did. Oh, that's too bad. Unless I wasn't looking. On the dessert menu? Yeah.

It's pretty sure I saw that. I used to eat there all the time. Yeah. There's some good food there. We have poutine, of course. I didn't try it. I love poutine, but I didn't want to steal any from destiny. So I just like, yeah, because when we got in the car,

she was like, I'm sorry, actually, you have a bottle of it. I like that. Poutine compared to like Canadian poutine. Honestly, it's not bad. It's not the right type of french fries that we use in Canada of all of it. Poutine compared to Canadian Poutine. Honestly, it's not bad. It's not the right type of French fries that we use in Canada typically for Poutine, but in Austin, it's probably the closest you get.

I would say it's been my only experience except for like one restaurant, it's like we can do Poutine and it wasn't. It was like, like, deli cheese. Chubes and like, K-so and something like that. How come there aren't like, cubes and like, so and so and so and so. How come there aren't like, like, like,

Austin's full of Mexican restaurants, text mixed restaurants, Italian restaurants, Chinese restaurants, how come there's no Canadian restaurants? Like in Austin, I'm just in general. I make it like the only one. I mean, I guess Tim Hortons is the only one I can think of. I think it's because there's not really enough Canadian

specific cuisine to make like an entire restaurant out of. You know, because like Canadian cuisine is very similar to American cuisine in a lot of ways. You know, like the burrs and sandwiches and stuff. What else is like, there's like, Canadian. But there's like California cuisine in Texas and there's like New York, like style pizzas and like New York style food. So there's probably no Canadian restaurants because we don't want to get in the way. We don't want to take up space. I guess we think it's like obviously Poutine's a big one and I assume you would order your milk in a bag at the restaurant. But what else is like, what is like,

I've been to Montreal and I've had that brisket at the place that you recommended, which was phenomenal and very different from Texas. Swarpses. That's it. Very different from Texas brisket. And super valid in its own way and in some ways just as good. But what else is uniquely Canadian from a food standpoint? The only thing I could think of off the top of my head would be beaver tails, which sounds hilarious, but it's not what, it's a pastry basically. So to flat, like kind of shape like a beaver tail,

pastry, that's typically fried and has like cinnamon sugar on it. Very popular when people are out ice skating. Really? And there's a few restaurants in Canada that I've been to that make like gourmet beaver tails. So they'll have like different toppings and stuff like that. Oh! Yeah.

That was really nice. The Reese's Pieces maple syrup is also another one. Maple syrup, of course. And everyone knows that. I'm sure I'm missing something very obvious and I'm, if there are any Canadians in the chat, please feel free to chime in. This is just something I'd never thought of before.

You know, you got Australia, and they're like, you gotta have kangaroo. I feel like I don't know, right? First time I went to Australia, I had kangaroo. Of course, you know, they require it. It's gaming, but it's good. I had, I don't imagine it was like real, but I went to like,

oh, there was like a burger place in town that used to like specialize in. We have one big game burger at every restaurant, like every one of the chains, and it was like, this one, we got kangaroo. It was like, well, I gotta try kangaroo burgers. Like, it tastes just like the ingredients. Like, it tastes just like tomatoes, lettuce, pickles.

So it's like, I don't know if I'm getting anything from this. Yeah. It's like Buffalo. Like Colorado. There's a lot of restaurants. There's a lot of Buffalo. Oh, like real Buffalo. Hunter 5.5.9 says a lot of American foods originated in Canada.

I believe that. Interesting. I'd love to know what those are. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised. America is, if we're good at one thing, it's stealing shit from other cultures, reappropriating it as our own. Yeah, very true.

I would be curious to know what exactly they're referring to. Yeah, me too. Probably a bunch of stuff. Healthcare. Probably. We have a stole that, yeah. Yeah, but yeah. So I don't have a big job of stealing that.

You stole it and then made people pay for it. Yeah. Ugh. Ugh. But no But it was fun. It was good. Good little lunch. Yeah, but you got a Red Bull with lunch. Well, no, it's just like the, yeah, well, because we had gone to an outing the night

before. What about the South by event? The South by a South by event. And then I know that I had more than I wanted to drink that night. So I woke up and I was tired. I woke up. I didn't realize, first of all, I didn't realize that I saved me. It was something. I woke up and it was like an hour before we have to meet. And I was like, there's no way that I slept like almost 12 hours. Holy shit. That must have been beautiful though. No, no, no.

I was confused when I woke up. Yeah, I was like, I was like, oh, what time is it? I was like, I just looked at it late and it's like 12. And I was like, oh god. I was telling Joe earlier today, I had a nightmare last night that I died. I don't know if it's like daylight savings

and like your sleep schedule being like slightly off, like messes up with my dreams and nightmares and stuff like that. But it was one of those things where I was in a car crash and I was like dead. And in my subconscious, it was like, hey, get out of this, just step out and wake up, basically, get up. I was so you were almost like,

you said dreaming, like? And then I woke up and I, you were talking about how like, did I, is that you dying in your sleep? Yeah, that's what I how like, did I, is that you dying in your sleep? Yeah, that's what I said. I was like, maybe you just died in your sleep and you actually came back to life and you woke up. Maybe.

It's just so creepy. I hate that though, because I sometimes have those nightmares that feel so real while you're in them and then waking up and realizing that it's not real is probably the most relieving feeling of all time. Yes. Yeah. Or there's like nightmares that are very confusing when you wake up like a nightmare where you do an entire day of work, with days worth of work, and then you wake up and you haven't done that day's work.

It was like, this is the worst day. Everything's going wrong. And then a wake up's like, oh, that's the foresight of what could go wrong. It's funny. I'll bring this up because I have been thinking about dying a lot lately for like the last couple of months or so. And so I've been reading a lot about people who have died and then come back to life really and uh Not because I'm dying that I'm aware of or anything. I just I just got on my I just I don't know why it's got in my head You know, I'm getting older uh, and so I've been doing a lot of reading and with

uh like And so I've been doing a lot of reading and with virtually every story I've read from somebody who died and was resuscitated and brought back to life makes dying sound pretty okay. Like they were good before they got back. They felt happy. Kinda like Buffy in season five or whatever when she died, sorry if you haven't, it's 30 years old. And they brought her back, she was like,

I was so happy dead. Like everybody was like, no, it was cool, it was comfortable. I felt it peace, it was nice, it was kind of a bummer to come back to life. So now I think Dyn's gonna be all right. I'm not worried about it. There's so many stories that make it sound totally fun. I mean, you can't really do anything about it

once it happens. It's true. And you don't know that it happened once it happens because you're, well, we don't know. No conscious. Who knows? True. You never know. That's why you don't know. No, conscious. Who knows? That's true.

You never know. That's why you don't know if you don't mean real. I mean, real. Yes. Well, because you knew you died and wait, okay, yeah. So in the dream you died, but you didn't know if you died in real life. Right. Okay.

What you might have. I might have. But briefly. Yeah. And then my brain woke me back. But that wasn't very peaceful. I was like five seconds. Yeah, maybe my brain just stopped.

Yeah. I didn't know it. I'm sure I don't know what to do. But then that wasn't peaceful. Yeah, maybe my brain just stopped. And then it went. Not yet. And Charlie Hoke do was like, hey, hey, come back. It was like a car crash. Right. It was a weird car crash though. The car like floated up and then like bounced

and then like did a thing. Very realistic. Unlike buffies mom. That's sad. Well, you say that. So you all mentioned South by Southwest. Have you, did you guys do a lot of South by stuff? Did you see the halo drone thing?

No, no, I only went to the one event. It was like an optic. It was optic and razor party. Oh, cool. That was cool, because I got to meet some people from RT that I've never met before. Oh, good to meet. Got to meet Sophie and Michelle from design and AJ.

I think AJ is like one of the bigger people I've met and then Couple other people from like optic something that did you meet like I hector? Which who's after again? I think I started optic. Oh hex hex. Yeah. No, I don't think I don't I don't know if I saw hex It was I had lots of him recently He was really nice guy. It was packed and I also don't know if this is a factor of getting older But holy fuck it was loud in there really it was like The venue so qr for yeah, it ends in a qr But they do like a there's a halo and then there's like a

Wardhog. Yeah, there's a drone show. Yeah, and it was just like, Massey for the energy store, and there's just like, over downtown Austin, I guess. Oh, I didn't see that, no. I'm so ready for like, I was over the weekend sometime. I just saw it on Reddit, I didn't know it was gonna be there. That's shit, that probably was Saturday night,

but considering we were inside, I'm kind of ready for that to take over firework shows. Mm-hmm, drone shows. Like, you see some of those like that come in a China where it's like, they have like crazy like drone shows. And it's like, I bet that's like better for the animals. Like it's not terrifying dogs as much. It's like something you understand a little more.

Like, do you need the sounds or not to make a Firework show enjoyable? Or is it just more about the visuals? I think it's like, do you need the sounds or not to make a fireworks show enjoyable? Or is it just more about the visuals? I think it's the visuals. Yeah. Yeah. Who needs the, I think it's a smell. It's a gun powder.

Yeah. That's a big part of it too. Okay. So it's a multi-sensory experience. Disney it up. Piping the gun powder smell. You could do that. Yeah.

Jack and I interviewed a dude who makes smells for theme parks the other day actually an annual pass Does he do the smells for soren Or soaring I'm not sure what he was allowed to say he did or didn't work on okay But he provided with us with a lot of samples of smells from certain places. What did you go to school for? Like no, I actually he asked him that question call And you can find out the answer by listening to annual pass podcast, because I don't remember.

He went to school for something different, and then he fell into that. Maybe marketing or design, maybe something artistic. I don't remember. But then he fell into smells. That's like, I always remember in high school, like my senior year, they asked everyone, what do you wanna be when you grow up?

And the room was doctor, teacher, doctor senior year, they asked everyone, what do you want to be when you grow up? And the room was Dr. Teacher, Dr. Teacher Engineer, Dr. Teacher Engineer, Dr. Teacher Engineer, everyone had the exact same three answers. No one went, I want to be the smell guy in Disney. I want to make some noise. I want to meet the kid that does want to do the smell guy in Disney. I'm the smell king. The coolest jobs on Earth are the jobs nobody knows exists.

Absolutely. 100%. Have you guys watched that documentary The coolest jobs on earth are the jobs nobody knows exists. Absolutely. 100%. Have you guys watched that documentary about like Disney World essentially like a Imagineer? The Imagineers? Yeah. I saw it. I have not seen it.

It is fantastic. It's basically all the BTS of like what goes into creating Disney World and like all the different departments and art and growing up we'd always we'd always go Like some of my family wanted it my grandma wanted to be like an annual trip And so she would always go thanksgiving because it's cheaper because people are at home doing their family Thanksgiving So you get cheaper tickets It was also really cool because you'd go on Thanksgiving day You'd go the next day and it would be winter wonderland. Like it was all a terminal one day, immediate flip over to like Christmas celebration the

next day. Like, you guys, we left here eight hours ago. Yeah. What the heck? The chat is telling me he went for animation. So if you want to get into smells, go to school for animation. All right. I guess that's he's getting into.

I was going to say that she's going for a school for animation. All right. I guess Dusty's getting into it. I was gonna say, Dusty has a shot. She's going for a degree in animation. So maybe she'll be the person who makes smells at Universal. Yeah, there you go. Have you guys, I don't know if you've covered this on annual pass or not, but there's, they talk about this color, this paint color, they use at least. Go away green.

Go away green. That is like a color green that it's such a shade that you just don't notice it. Go away green. Go away green. Yeah. That is like a color green That it's it's such a shade that you just don't notice it So they paint things that they don't want people to notice like garbage cans and stuff like that that color So kind of blend in really Is it called go away green or something similar? That's like it's like yeah, and it's yeah It's a specific green that your eye just looks over. It's like, yeah. It's like, yeah. And it's, yeah, it's a specific green that your eye just looks over. It's like the least noticeable color. So like all the doors that they go in and out of

and like barbs and trash cans, stuff they don't want you to see, poles that hold up like, I don't know, projectors and shit, it's all painted that green and you just don't notice it. You want to know if I'm fat? Yes. You know the movie in Tonto?

Yeah. You guys all seen it? Mm-hmm. Bruno, he's wearing go away, I agree. That movie had the coolest Bruno Easter eggs. There was so many like where he's like sneaking around the entire movie. Yeah, entire movie he's sneaking around and no one notices it. Go, I agree. It's going to take a while.

I don't know if we have a picture that we could pull up, but yeah, essentially like he's the character in the movie that has essentially been there the whole time, but nobody knows he's around. And so he's meant to kind of... I think he's insane. Have you guys watched After Party? No, but Trevor actually was...

Sounds really familiar. I'm thinking about that. There's a character in that who's kind of, nobody noticed, he's there the whole time, and nobody notices or pays attention to him. It's phenomenal though, it's the first Apple Plus show I've watched and it's really, really good. It's got a-

Have you not seen Ted Lasso? No, that's just a blank image. No, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I was gonna wait around and see if people like Ted Lasso or not, I still haven't, I can't get a consensus whether people are it's popular or people think it's the greatest show ever made and won't shut the fuck up about it to me constantly are it's popular or people think it's the greatest show ever made

and won't shut the fuck up about it to me constantly. I don't even know what it's about. Ted Lasso. It's a feeling good. It's bad to soccer team. Yeah, it's about a football coach being hired to go coach a team for the premiere league. In the UK, yeah.

The thing I love about that show, which you might enjoy, especially in this day and age. It's a show where conflict happens, but then it's resolved in such a positive and healthy manner. Things are communicated, people talk to each other. In a typical show where something happens, you're like, oh, fuck, this person's going to find out about that, and then this is going to happen, and then they're going to assume this, that shit doesn't happen on the show.

It just is like a feel good. People communicate good things happen. Sometimes bad things happen, but like it's still healthy. So it's like no drama basically. It's just all like, they're still drama. They're still drama. It's just repaired in a more pleasing way. Like in a healthier way.

Yeah. Yeah. That sounds like a really pleasing show. Apparently it kept people alive during the pandemic. Like I think, I think that's like the one, really good theater way. Yeah, that sounds like a really pleasing show. Apparently it kept people alive during the pandemic. Like, I think that's like the one bit of positivity everybody had. I think that's the thing is it was a show with a more positive message when everything else

was still like, down. No. I'll probably watch it whenever, I'll get around to it at some point. Whenever I complete this run, I'll probably sit down and bang it all out. Maybe it's just two full seasons out. Yeah, and I think they're filming three and four right now, or I read, or they hope to film four

this year. But after party, it's about a murder mystery with a bunch of different comedians. I love murdering these two folks. And funny people, Dave Franco is the person that gets murdered in the first episode. It's basically like at a high school reunion. And so everybody had a reason to kill Dave Franco from high school. And Tiffany Haddish is the detective. And then I don't know if you've seen, um, yes, kind of like knives out, but a TV show with like Ben Schwartz and a bunch of other people in

it. One of the ladies from, uh, that show I didn't watch. And then, uh, sorry, I can't think of what a broad city, I think when ladies do not. And the dude, do you ever see Search Party? Yes, love that. Like the blonde dude, who's like the sidekick in Search Party. How he is? Yeah, he's one of the detectives in it as well. A detective. Yeah, he works with Tiffany Haddish.

And it's just them trying to solve the crime, and it's very, very funny. It's a comedy? Yeah, excellent. Did you, by halfway through it? Did you watch a murder bill? I saw it for a step-set. I haven't continued.

This is way better than murder bill, although I didn't like murder bill. I liked murder bill. Very different. It was very dependent on the host. Yeah. Or whoever the guest. Did you see the whole thing?

Yeah. Who did you think was the best host? Mm. I always thought Conan O'Brien. Conan was good. Marshawn Lynch's was funny, just because that's the show's gonna bring about another name of it. That's the one where they go and they have to go solve a murder, right?

They have to go solve a murder. Have you heard of it? No, is it like a reality show? Well, it's almost like SNL, like an SNL skit. If you think like an SNL skit with like going and trying to solve a murder. I feel like that. So everyone else, everyone else except for the guest, have a script they're going off

or have a script for what the show is. The guest comes in and is reacting and improving with them. So Konrad Bryan is one of them? Yeah, he was the solver. I think Marcia Linches was probably the best. Marcia Linches was so good. It's like Will Arnett is like the main detective

and then whoever the guest is comes on to be his like helper detective, like new rookie recruit for the episode and then they go through and solve it. And after like improv. I think Will our net doesn't know what's going on and then whoever the other host is doesn't but everybody around them does. And so they're just trying to navigate. But it's shot and presented like a procedural crime drama.

Like it looks like a CSI. That's hilarious. They even have like the quirky, nerdy science girl every time they go and go like, what's, all right, explain what the body is, like the cool one. That's like a great premise for a show. Yeah. My God, what stations are on?

Netflix. Netflix. Speaking of Netflix, Jeff, I don't know if you are a fan of this show. Speaking of reality TV. Love's blind. Oh my God, am I a fan of Love's Blind Hellia? Love's Blind is... It's taken Oh my god. Am I a fan of love is blind? Hell yeah. Love is blind is taking over my life the most ridiculous concept for a reality show it's people it's men and women who

communicate and have like hours and hours and hours of conversation never see each other and They end up proposing to each other like people get engaged without ever having seen each other. But also it's like, seven days that they're talking to each other. You know what, I buy it. I buy that part. Okay. Because I've been thinking about it a lot. I guess that's all that could do is just talk.

Well, yeah, I mean, yes. Because if you, I'll get into that. But yeah, the way it works is like there's like 10 dudes, 10 ladies, they never see each other. They go into pods with a thin wall between them and then they just have conversations. And then they fall in, then they date through these walls and kind of fall in love.

And then the goal is, if they do fall in love, one of them proposes to the other, if the other person says yes, then they meet. Then all the people that said yes, they then get immediately taken to a vacation where they go on like a honeymoon, where they sleep in the same room and they get to know each other

and they see if it continues. Then if they make it past that They go on like a honey moon, where they sleep in the same room and they get to know each other and they see if it continues. Then if they make it past that and they all always do for the most part, well, maybe not in season two. But then they go to Chicago, at least in the season I've watched in America, and then they put them up in an apartment for 30 days and they have to live together in an apartment for 30 days and then get married at the end. And so a lot of people get left on the altar.

It's really cool. Yeah, and then like the wedding is essentially where And so a lot of people get left on the altar. It's really cool. And then the wedding is essentially where they decide if they want to be together. And the families are there. People come in from like a snippet of it on Twitter. I've been wondering what the Love is Blind Japan one. The Japan one looks like it's pure as fuck. Yeah. There was a clip I saw comparing the Love is Blind Japan

versus Love is Blind America, I guess, where Loves Blind Japan, it was like this beautiful bridge with like flowers and trees everywhere and like they come out to reveal each other and the man is like crying and it's like can't catch his breath and the woman's like in tears and it's just like so beautiful and they hold each other and then it cuts the American version where they meet each other and the guys like, fuck, you're so hot and he grabs her ass and like makes out with her. It's true, it's pretty gross.

So I've seen season two, I started on season two in the American version. So I've been rewatching season one with Emily, but we haven't gotten through season one yet. So I don't know which one's better, but I hear season one's great. I like season one. Season two was, I was so hooked on season two,

but because Emily doesn't like subtitles or dubbing, so she's not interested. I've been watching Love is Blind Brazil. I'm on the last episode right now. Love is Blind Brazil is fun. No, really. Yeah, those people are lunatics. Those people, Brazilians are lunatics on that show.

You know what show I, that's like on the same reality TV wave is too hot to handle, you see that? Oh, it's a mess. Oh my gosh, that was, it's just a mess. It's crazy. Much of a fucking horny hop. Massive pleasure with the beginning of the court. Watch people lose money.

Yeah. The cool thing about, love is blind. They promo at the end of season two that there's a new series a new season coming out. I can't remember what it's called now, but it's essentially my favorite TV show of all time, Temptation Island, right? Are you familiar with Temptation Island, Jen? I don't think I ever watched it. I owed new season starts next week. No, this week I'm sorry. New season starts Friday. It's also very excited. Honestly, like, it's amazing reality TV because it's so fucking

gross. Yeah. Like, it is awful. It's the best train wreck. It's couples basically who are like, at the point of we're gonna get together, we're gonna get married or break up. Which, to me, is such a weird place. Like, you're like on the fence, like, should we get married, should we take a picture?

I think you're gonna be on that, not that. Yeah, that's not the goal. So it's four couples, and then they go to this island, an island, temptation island, and there's two villas. And all the girls go into one villa and the guy's going to another and then over the next month Like 16 hot dudes will come and date the women and 16 hot chicks will come and date the men and then at the end They decide if they want to stay married or if they found new love and or no love but they decide they don't want to get married that they want to be single and the best the very rarely on the same page and the best part about it is this brutal they have these like tribal council type things where they

sit down once a week once an episode and they'll hand like like say, say it like, it's Emily and I, and she's at the, she's at the villa dating all the dudes, they'll give me an iPad, and they'll make me watch a 10 second clip of what's happening. And they are so cleverly edited those 10 second clips, and sometimes so horrendous, it looks so much worse than it is,

or sometimes it looks exactly as bad as it is. And the guys like, you mean to tell me my girlfriend had sex with somebody on day one, and they're like, love if she's still your girlfriend, yes. And then it's just like you just watch the journey and then they decide if they get married at the end. Or not, the cool thing about the new love is blind, spin off that they're gonna do in April,

it's the same principle, except they coexist. They're not in separate villas. So you have to watch Trevor date other people. And Trevor has to watch you date other people. That is torture. Yeah, what if he's just a side not okay? So you could just not. Oh, I don't know.

Probably don't get good ratings and you get good. That's like taking love Island and juicing out the best part, huh? Yeah, because they're love Island, which Jeff and I have talked about a lot. Joe, I don't know if you've seen any love Island Um, a little bit Okay, I'm trying to know. Well, those everyone is single allegedly who goes on that show Allegedly allegedly, allegedly Um, and then they end up coupling up and then at one point in the show It's usually after the couples are pretty solid. They do this thing where they separate the men and the women onto new villas

Mm-hmm And send in a whole new batch of like women for all the guys and a whole new batch of guys for all the men and the women onto new villas, and send in a whole new batch of women for all the guys, and a whole new batch of guys for all the women. And it's a similar thing where they'll be on those villas for a week or something like that. And then it's like, all right, the women are coming back. If this woman comes back alone, it means she chose to stay with you.

But if she comes back with a guy, it means she chose to go with this guy. And he lives here with you now. Yeah. And it's just like, and they do the thing too, where they show clips. Yeah. What's happening on the other side? Not as much. Not as much, because it's like, usually they'll find out, because the other people who were there were like, yeah, your boy was like all over every girl who came in, and she's like, no, that can't be him, Not my. You tell me a new bird comes in here. She's right fit. She's gonna take my fucking man.

Yeah, they're all British. The best is the Australian by far, I think. Because you said that they are Dumber and Hatter, right? Yeah. Well, I don't know if it's up on my camera, but yeah. Yeah. I said that they're Dumber and Hatter. But like, so love Island, Temptation Island, Yeah. I said they were number one.

But like so love island, temptation island, too hot to handle, which you said they're kind of in the same vein. Love is blind is a little more like the bachelor where there's a little more, it's a little more endearing and there is hope that people have found a connection in this way. It's not as messy. Yeah, well, the hope is that they're finding real romance. It's the journey. Yeah.

This is the journey you're going on to find who. But the reason I buy it is because of everything that happened before TV and radio. OK. When people weren't distracted by cell phones and shit, like people got married after knowing each other for a fucking month. If you watch any Victorian TV show or read any Jane Austen book,

it's like, I like you. You've seen Pleasant. I like you too. Let's devote each other the rest of our lives to each other. All right, it's been a week and they get married because what else was there to do? Right? When you distill it down and you take away all the distractions

and you just put two people in a room together, they can figure out pretty quickly if there's a connection in a week or two. And it's also for hours and hours a day. Yeah, as well. I think it's another symptom of the phone though, is that having more options. Yeah, because like back then it was like,

well, you're the other single person in town. Yeah. It makes sense to me like when I was in the army and we would get deployed to places, like are you gonna go to Kuwait for four months? The people you get deployed with in about three days are the best friends you've ever had in your life. Like you develop these instant, deep bonds really quickly and you learn about each other really, really well.

And then oftentimes you'll never see that person again and you just had that. But there's something about the being sequestered and just focused time really lets people get to know each other and grow really quickly. So I totally buy. Yeah, that can happen. No, I get that too. I mean we haven't talked it publicly yet, and we're, I don't think we're talking about it yet, but we filmed a show that's going to be released in April. Is this, yeah, probably what you're thinking. Yeah, okay. Um, where like, I think, yeah, I mean, it was a, we only filmed it for five days, but people

bonded like Joe being new. Yeah, I definitely bonded with people who I have never met in person. Yeah, but I had very quality conversation was like apart from like obviously this shooting and stuff of it, like just good conversation. I actually got to know people. I hate it when we do the thing when we talk about something

that we can't talk about. I know. Like I know I just did that with my cup earlier. I have not talked about what the perfect cup is. I definitely sidestep that. But I will say that show that is going to, I don't know when it'll be announced. I think you guys are going to show it.

There's a trailer that's going to be released. And then I think you might be premiering at Let's Play Live tour, which it's about your age. Age live tour that if you haven't gotten tickets for, you should. Oh, that's a great point. I think I had a, I was a little worried,

I wouldn't be able to attend, I had some conflicts. I think I'm gonna be there. So I think I'm gonna be able to go to the full tour. So yeah, I don't want your tickets yet. You'll see Jeff and the trailer for the show that we keep teased up. But in Joe. And Joe.

And me. Joe, who's the tour? I think it's up there with some of the things I've been most excited about in the history of Roosteries. Yeah. I go. I go. I go. I go. It's pretty too much. I think it's up there with some of the things I've been most excited about in the history of Rochelle. Yeah. In terms of like the hardcore monopolies and, um, oh, last laughs and some of those ones that we've done that have just been real.

It's, and I got to watch it happen as kind of a, as a producer, not necessarily a participant, and it was in thralling. Yeah. And that's just like the raw stuff. Yeah. You can't even like edit it down to a show. I would go home and if Emily was asleep, I would wake her up to tell her about it. I'd be like, did this happen? And then this happened?

I mean, you're not going to believe that this happened. It was crazy. There was a moment where something happened and I texted Jeff and I was like, are you watching this shit? And you were like, this is the one time I'm not at the office. It was the one day I couldn't be there. And so I like texted him and everything that happened. He was like, holy fuck.

It's very exciting. I think it premieres in April. Is this the reality adjacent show? Have you guys said something? Did I ever said something? Yes. I'm pretty sure. I guess.

I would say it's a if you like reality TV It's gonna be for you and if you don't like reality TV. It's still fucking for you Yeah, because it's not it's not what you're thinking. Yeah, right It's very cool. It's not some lame ass thing cold. You know, we're talking about Trevor's tees this for like a month. It's the way to do it more than that just because it was so good It was so good. It was so good. I want to talk about it. It can't. I can't. It's been funny because he's been dropping breadcrumbs because I'm editing off topic now. And so every different one, like, okay,

so they know that much now. Yeah. Yeah. This is what they know. Yeah. Yeah. It was kind of cool to just see it all come together for sure. I've been watching rough cuts of it, just like for notes and stuff like that. And every time I just end up watching it all the way through and I go, I didn't give any notes, oh shit, like I need to actually do that just because I'm so enthralled with what's going on. I watch the first episode to give notes and I don't have any notes, it's just really good. It's just just keep doing what you're doing. Like I don't know, it's just fucking great. I love it. You know, we'll inter cut this conversation with when it actually comes out. Yeah, perfect.

I do hope people will come to the age live tour though. I think it's like March 30th. It's the 31st, 31st, 2nd and 3rd. And that's Seattle San Francisco L.A. Yes. So that's going to be fun. I'm going to try to. I'm hoping, you know, because like for me,

it's my first life, life show anywhere for anything. So I'm really excited about it. Are you nervous at all? I would be. You don't really, you should be. I mean, I should be. I'm pretty sure when I get up there, I'll be a little bit more nervous in the now.

It's so easy, dude, it's great. I think for me, it's just like, the community's been very inviting, so like it doesn't make me feel scared, you know? It's like we're just doing what we do in a different scope. You're playing for an audience that wants to see you and wants to be different.

Yeah, yeah. I want to be entertained. I want to be there. It's impossible to fail in front of the home crowd. And the nice thing about too, is there's an ensemble of supportive people there with you. I'm joking, but it is really, it is very fun. No, I mean, yeah, I'm sorry.

I'll never hear the end of it for a long time. I mean, it'd be good content. It'd be good content, though. Yeah, exactly. I failed because every fail is going to be a success. That's what you mean, a success. That's what you mean, a success. That's what you mean, a success.

That's what you mean, a success. Because then it's legendary. It's like, oh my god, this happened. So Seattle 31st, San Francisco 2nd, Los Angeles 3rd. Yeah. Wow, whirlwind. I should also probably mention in that time period, April 1st, which is Ruchichit's 19th anniversary. We're doing the RT podcast live in Austin as part

of the normal podcast tour. Yeah, Austin that night. So obviously no one from Achieve Mhunter will be there. Is that on the anniversary? It is. Yeah, I was supposed to do that and then I got moved. I can't do it. Yeah, it was supposed to be earlier. It was supposed to be January 15th and then Omapron was the thing. Yeah. So we pushed it back. So yeah, now it's on April 1st. So it comes out like the thing. Yeah, I think that's the thing though. It's like, although like things are opening up again, it's like, I think it

now it's like it's changed. People's comfortably levels around crowds. And I think that's kind of like where, like we hope, you know, people come out and like hang out with us, but obviously understandable if you're scared of the big crowds and more sure. So I mean, I know that we're taking safety very seriously all these events. Always. Yes. So of course, no pressure if you can't come or don't feel comfortable. We're not going to show up to your house and be like, Hey, where were you? Why didn't you give me a condomation? Have you ever have you ever tried to figure out how many COVID tests you've had since the start of Jeff? I was just thinking about that. I was taking I took one three hours

ago before I came in. Yeah, I was like morning. Yeah, I was like, oh, I got to take one again Wednesday. Yep. It at least to a week for the last two years, two years? Two years? Well, I guess we only. We didn't start coming back for a while. We probably didn't start coming back until maybe six months, eight months into the pandemic. Yeah, 306. Maybe even more.

306. Yeah. Maybe two years. I remember the first COVID test I had to do, because this was like the like really like brainpoke PCR test they used to do. And I remember it was my first one ever and I was like sweating. I was so nervous because I was like, fuck, I like, I've heard horrible things about this.

The guy does it on me and I go, is that it? Now. It's all about the administrator. We had a meeting today. We were both in talking about the anniversary, actually. I didn't have my camera on for the first five minutes because I was COVID testing myself while during the meeting. It's like, now it's just like a second.

I'm like, oh, I gotta do this. I did one in a car once. Did you really? On the way to the office, because I was running so late. So like when I was like at a red light, I was just like doing the nose things and like putting in the vial and like doing the flick

on the thing to make sure it's making sense. That's when you hope and you look over and somebody's watching and it's like I'm like there's nothing more 2022 than doing a co-p test in your car yeah that's nice that we have access to them nowadays it's awesome yeah because there was a time where it was really difficult to

my test yeah it really was I also did I also took I think when I had COVID, I think I took a test or two tests every day. Because I'm so desperate to come up negative, so I can go back to work. I took a test almost every day when I had COVID too, because Trevor never ended up getting it. And I was just like so impatient of like wanting to not be quarantined away from him,

because it was over Christmas break too. So I was like, oh great, we have full, we can a half of break and I have COVID. So I have to stay in my office and quarantine and stuff like that. But on day 10, which is supposed to be when you could break quarantine, that's the first day it came up negative. Really?

It was day 14 for me, which felt like it was gonna be forever. Yeah. Because Emily was living in a hotel the whole time. Oh my God. I mean, it's not a small amount of time though when you really think about it. Like, everyone's like, oh, you know, it's like two weeks is a lot of time.

It's a long time. It's a long time. Especially when you're isolated. You don't know what you're like, you don't know what to do. Well, I know that like in Australia and some other countries, if you were traveling into the country, they would make you stay at a hotel for two weeks.

So it's like you're not even at home, like you're in a hotel room that sometimes doesn't have a window you could open, or like anywhere else to go. That's like when I'm going to Japan, originally it was two weeks. Yeah. And I was like, oh, I don't have a living situation yet. So how do I get food? Like, I'm in a hotel. I'm in a apartment now You also weren't allowed to take like a taxi you had to like find a

Way to get to yeah, like a lot of room service. Yeah, yeah, and like Just two weeks of that try to think about what you were doing right now two weeks ago. I mean, man It might be the podcast for Actually, the two weeks ago. I mean, it might be the podcast for. Bye. You're too intense, Zara. Actually, the two weeks ago, March 1st, right? I don't remember what I was doing. Exactly. We might have been in Vegas. Oh, yeah.

We were in Vegas together. Do we? When did you fly back from Vegas? The next day. I was the only one that stayed. Jeff, I had some issues on my flight home. Oh, I would love to hear it. We never, we never synced up after. That was the first one of stayed. Jeff, I had some issues on my flight home. Oh, I would love to hear it. We never, we never synced up after,

that was the first one of those events I've ever done. Yeah. And it's the first time you and I have traveled together in a very long time. It was a lot of fun. Very fun. I had a great time hanging out with you guys and obviously with Gus.

But I never, like, the event ended. You guys all got on a plane and went home. I didn't want to fly south west so I stayed another day. That's good. And I had a great time. I went gambling by myself and won money and I had a lovely evening.

But what was your time? So the flight was fine itself. I was sitting in the middle seat, oh sorry, now I was sitting in a window seat next to some guy who's in the middle. And he had his text so big, like the font on his phone was like so huge. And he was holding his phone like this

so I could read everything on his phone. And I happened to glance over at one point. And he wrote, all good, sit in next to some skinny bitch. So I got plenty of room. And I was like, the first thing I thought was kind of a coffee skinny. Yeah. So that was nice.

But then when I got back, I had to check a bag because overhead space these days is awful. It's difficult. So I typically just check a bag. Just so I don't even think about it. So I could just board the plane and not be stressed out about finding a space for my bag. I waited for about 45 or 50 minutes at the carousel

for my bag to come out, waiting, everyone is around there. I don't see anyone who's on my flight though, which is very strange. And then I was like, you know what? I don't see any bags from even Las Vegas coming out. And so I go to the counter and I see my bag sitting there. And I was like, oh. And they're like, yeah, we pulled it off to make some room

for some other bags since we had like four flights coming in on this carousel. And I was like, yeah, we pulled it off to make some room for some other bags since we had like four flights coming in on this carousel. And I was like, what was that? They're like, oh, maybe about like 40 minutes ago? Oh! And I was like, you fucking son of a bitch. You want to have a fucking evening to go? Yeah, I was standing there waiting for my bag

to come out for 45 minutes while it was there. It's just sit there watching you like when you think you're gonna know. Yeah. People were placing bets on you. And then then because there were so many flights coming in that night, I don't know what was going on in Austin. I don't know if you've parked in the garages. Every time. Yeah. I parked in the blue garage, which is like time to feed the dog. And we need this pills. Usually you you getting your car, it's like maybe like a five minute walk

from the airport to the parking garage. It's not that bad. I usually get in my car, drive out, go pay for parking and leave. Going down the ramp of a garage was staying still traffic. And I was like, what's going on? There were so many fucking people coming in

and there was only three terminals at the parking space that were working, like the paying for parking space. The cars were so backed up, I was in my car for about an hour and a half getting out of the airport. I've just the garage. Out of the garage. I wonder what I could have been. I don't know if it's like to early for self-buy. I think they might have changed the payment terminals to be like a different like you have to like put the card in and keep it there instead of just like swiping it, something changed. I actually have a frequent parker card that a different like, you have to like, put the card in and keep it there instead of just like swiping it, something changed. I actually have a frequent Parker card that lets me like,

I mean this wouldn't have helped you because it was literally just backed up. You couldn't even get around. Get to it. Just drive out of it. Just drive out of it. It was just awful. Even if it was like on the second level,

your car can make it. Yeah. It's from my dream. That's how I tie it. It's your picture. My car blinds. The airport is one of those places where I spend the money for convenience. Yeah, because of my age I just like we've been doing this for it'll be 19 years next month

Mm-hmm, and that's 19 years of traveling 20 to sometimes 50 weeks a year depending on the air So there are air like I park in that red parking lot, and I don't care how much it costs That's like $17 a day. Yeah, $17 a day. Every time my park, it's like $200, well, I leave, but I don't care. Because I get in and out in seconds. In minutes, yeah, sure. Do you go to the airport a lot, Cole?

I try to, okay. Do you ever fly or just hang out? Hang out. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, just flew last week. Do you have clear? Yeah, TSA per check? TSA per check.

Yeah, I got it when we were going to go into paying the first time. And so I've just been sitting on it for a while. I'm not. T.C.P. check is worth every penny. Yeah. How much is it typically? 200 for like five years though. Yeah. Yeah. And then you pay for it. And you just like, you like, you basically have to apply for it, right? You feel like a goddamned. Yeah. They ask you like questions at the airport. Oh, that's it. If you don't have it yet, though, do you ever travel internationally? No, but I'm hopefully get global entry, get global entry instead of TSA paycheck because it comes

with TSA paycheck. So then you get a for free. Well, I've never flown internationally before ever, but you will. It was going to say lie. So I went to Cancun last year. Okay. But that was my first time ever. And then I think I had something coming up eventually. So maybe, maybe. A little something, something. Global Entry comes with TSA Precheck, which is a must and really, Barbers write, you should get clear if at all. I slept on that for too long.

What is clear, exactly. It is a service that you walk up to. Like when you go up to the security line, there's like first, there's the first class priority line. There's normal. Then there's TSA pre check to the right or left or wherever of that is a, is a couple of little white kiosks to say clear. I see that you walk right up.

They scan your eyes and then they or your finger and then they walk you to your, like, to security and the front of any whatever security line. Like it's faster than TSA, you cut TSA precheck off. Fuck off. So like if I have TSA precheck now, I have clear, which I again like for convenience, splurge on this because I travel all the time. Yeah, it's so useful.

Yeah, you basically, you go up and you're like, clear and they're like, okay, they scan your eyes, they go, all right, boarding pass. And then they take you right to the front of TSA precheck line. I wouldn't necessarily recommend testing it because if it doesn't work, it's a pain in the ass, but you can get to your flight,

you can get to the airport like 10 minutes before your flight boards and be fine. Cause you just walked straight through. I'll recommend you to do that. I'm not talking about that, but that is the other people in the group who don't have. While those people sit in line while I'm sitting in the admiral's club, waiting for them.

I don't get a thought. I guess everyone's like arguing against is what you're taking your biometric. Who cares? You think your iPhone doesn't have it already? You already have it. You got it. You're walking around 24 hours a day with a beacon in your pocket going, here I am. Here I am. Here I am.

I'm saying something like you definitely need to turn off on your phone Location of whenever you take a take a photo. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I'm thinking about that. Yeah, you should Interesting anyway, it also definitely should get it. It's also a great Times-ever if you ever get to the airport and there's like crazy lunch and you're like, I'm not gonna make more fucking flight You can walk over sign up for clear and use it in five minutes. Oh really? That's what the You can fly. You can walk over, sign up for clear and use it in five minutes. Oh, really? That's what Fredo and Jackie

I believe did that. They were gonna go visit Jeremy and they got to the airport and the lines were just like, cause you never know the Austin airport what it's gonna be like, which is why I always get there super early cause I'm anal like that.

But they did that. They sign up for clear so that they could just like jump the line. See the last couple of times I've been at the Austin airport, there have been no lines. Like one time I got to my flight like 20 minutes before like the flight closed the line. See, the last couple of times I've been at the Osiris port, there have been no lines. Like one time I got to my flight, like 20 minutes before, like the flight closed the doors. Like it was after boarding it up because I was running super late.

And there was no line. I was through security in like three minutes. It's starting to get worse. It's starting to get worse. It's a crap sheet. It just got lucky. It's like it's got lucky. And when there's shit going on like F1 or South by or ACL,

it is brutal. No. Just don't travel. Just don't. Yeah, I just don't want to travel. Honestly, I've done the most trip I've ever done. It has been since I've been with the Chief Hunter. So.

Yeah, I know there's only more to come probably. Yeah, so I, you know, might have to get clearer. I really appreciate Trevor because he puts up with my crazy anal needs, which sounds very strange. I have a lot of anal needs. Some say they're crazy. Let me run that back. I'm someone who likes to get the airport very early because I don't mind if we have access to the club or going to eat or just hanging out and not being stressed about it

Just being there and like being at the gate or like whatever it is versus someone who's like well my flight doesn't leave for another hour So I only have to leave in like 40 minutes if that stresses me out and he I'll be like is it okay if we go to the airport Like this time is like yeah, whatever makes you comfortable like what's this club? What's this club? I'll just keep going. I don't know what that is. Oh, I have a credit card that gives me access to the annuals club Which is just like like a airline club that gives you like the wifi and ice chairs some food? It depends on what airline you fly if you're alright So let me give you the the Roostief primer all right So now that you're here and you're gonna start flying a lot especially with a cheap 100

You're gonna be flying a little ass off for the next couple of years. Get used to that. You're gonna wanna sign up for points programs with all the major airlines. You're gonna figure out the one that you like the best. I would recommend and be a little bit of a bully here about it, I shouldn't say that.

But just be confident when they book your flights, I would like to always fly whatever airline it is that I like. I was like Delta. I like American. I. American. We're all every I think most people with company are American. I don't think I've ever flown American. So when everyone tells me American, I'm like, Oh, I always fly Southwest. American has a lot of flights out of Austin, I think. Yeah. Okay. So that's typically the end Dallas is a hub. And so it's it's easy to get around. But not all airlines have them in all airports, but Austin Airport has a Delta AdMoles Club

or whatever they call it, flagship club, and an American one. And it's just a special little lounge you can go into that has free food, free drinks, free Wi-Fi, and you can just kind of sit and it's a little quieter. There's TVs. Yeah, you can order a little lunch or buy lunch downstairs and bring it up. And it's just like a quiet you can kind of get in there. You can order a little lunch, or buy lunch downstairs and bring it up. And it's just like a quiet place to kind of just chill out.

I got this all the way from there. And I was like, 12. That's why I don't like getting there early. We were, I went to China with my family and we went our way back in Japan. We realized they had torn the wrong ticket going there. And so they're like, we can't let them back in. This is like, we're like, oh,

and so of course they were like, we'll correct your mistake, we'll replace your ticket, but it's going to have to be, it's like the end of the day now, so it's going to have to be tomorrow. This is also super weird because it's right at the start of the Iraq War. I am. Oh my god. I remember sitting in the AdVos Club watching like, we're declaring more now. I was like, oh, but yeah, we bought a bunch of pirated friends. The TV series, I had a mini DVD player. And I was confused about you meant by Pirated Friends.

When I, when I used to drink, I love the Ademro's Club because you get fucking hammered for free. That's true. Yeah. That was always the appeal. That's something that I'd never have understood is people who like to get really drunk before a flight or even just a little to see because I get nauseous when I drink. Yeah. And like I'm already nauseous on a plane

to a degree, especially during takeoff and landing. And I'm just like, God, the last thing I want to be on a plane is drunk. I have a lot of friends who are terrified of flying, and so they want to be passed out on it. See, yeah, when I never get to that point. I mean, I got, I was at a point in my life where I could only sleep when I was super drunk, like it was hammered. So like, I understand that, but also, I mean, it doesn't make you feel good. Yeah, exactly.

But yeah, I understand like, wanting to get hammered and go on a flight. I guess I'll just get so like bloated when you fly. So it just adds to that. It's hard to eat well when you're traveling. It is. He's got to embrace the bad when you travel. Vegas was bad for me.

Was it really? Just like because we're eating out every single meal and it's also like Vegas food So you want to like indulge in like all these places. Did you end up eating at that noodle place? Yeah, was it good amazing really it was so I The restaurants in the hotel because every hotel in Vegas. I don't know how to tell you it the Sahara Sahara. Which left a lot to us up. Left a lot to be. It was okay. Yeah, it was okay.

It was okay. Bazaar meets is a very good place. It's a very good, there's a very good, Jose Andres restaurant. We went to the Bazaar meets. Yeah. Basically like almost every hotel in Vegas, I wanna say every hotel.

They have casino in the hotel. They have multiple restaurants in the hotel. They have shopping in the hotel. Like it's basically, you don't have to go. You never have to go. Yeah, it's an adult Disneyland. I didn't end up leaving the hotel like when have shopping in the hotel, like it's basically, you don't have to go. You never have to go. Yeah, it's an adult Disneyland. I didn't end up leaving the hotel like when we were done the convention

because it was like, I was already tired and it's nice to just be able to go downstairs and do anything you want there. So I had gone to every single restaurant in the hotel by the end of the weekend. And there was a noodle place that was like, fucking gourmet dude. Yeah, Aaron, Zach kept talking about it

and I wanna check out some of the other. She went there I think three times. The, we do the kept talking about it. And I wanna check out some of the other. She went there, I think three times. The, we do the same thing. Like I always stay at the win and the win and the on-court. And then Emily and I, we go to Vegas a lot. Like probably four or five times a year now. And even though I don't partake in most of the stuff

you do in Vegas. But the only time we'll leave is to go to a show. You spend the whole time in the hotel. It's awesome. And you don't even feel like it. It's just like there's so much to do and it's like adult Disneyland It really is yeah, we went for a Jordan's bachelor party a long time ago 2019 Jordan 11 swears who?

Is that a running joke that I know? There's just multiple Jordans I may be meant to be the nature of that, we went to a lot of different places. We went, I think the best food we had was best friend, which was place. So good. But we went and saw shows. Is that the place that took a little convenience store? It looks like a convenience store.

Yeah, it gots well there. Yeah, and you're like, where's the restaurant? And then they take you behind like a secret wall. And it's a full restaurant. That sounds like a speakeasy. Yeah, that was amazing food. You've ever been to Vegas? I've never gone to Vegas in my adult years, no.

Wow. Never. I think a lot of it, the reason why I haven't gone, I could go now, but a lot of it was I was trying to get sober. So, like just putting myself in that environment was not good because I have a very good personality and everything's available to you. Are you sober? I am. Yeah. Hey, man. Nice to meet you. How long? Well, I won't lie. I was sober for about three years and just recently before I moved, I broke sobriety, just had a lot going on and it just crumbled, I just crumbled over the pressure.

But now I guess it would be like three months, so better than nothing. That's awesome, congratulations. Thank you. Seriously. Yeah, I mean, definitely took a lot to get. I mean, you do know how hard it is to get there. The hardest thing I've ever done and continues to be.

Yeah, I think that's one thing that a lot of people don't talk about. It's never a won battle. It's always a fighting battle. Yeah. It's not something that's like, it's cured. Yeah, yeah, like even for me, it's a little different because at least with drinking, I just stopped for a really long time and then I could get back to it. But sometimes I get scared like when I take a sip,

I'm going to like lose that control on it, like grasp on it. My harder struggle is definitely with like substances and stuff like that. So yeah. Proud of you, dude. Thank you, for real. You know, I'm proud of you, too.

Thanks, man. And if you ever need me to like, you know. Yeah, yeah, beat me up, man. Beat me up. Fuck you, do a man. I'll do it. Whatever you need. I haven't decided if I want to talk about the story, but I almost got fucked out of my sobriety at a dinner

not too long ago. Did. That messed me up. I went home and I cried for like an hour. Oh, dude, I'm sorry. It was so rough. I'm so sorry. Yeah, it was just, we went out to dinner, a work dinner,

and I ordered a mocktail. And I get really cagey about it, you get really nervous about it. And so I actually had, I think Trevor or Lewis drink it for me, take a sip to make sure it wasn't, there was an alcohol, and it was fine. And we drank that mocktail, then we ordered another round, and I said, I, please make sure it's a mocktail. And then Trevor actually was very sweet. He pulled the, the person assigned said, hey, but make sure it's a mocktail. Yeah. And then like, yeah, pulled the person aside and said, hey, make sure it's a mocktail.

And then like, yeah, we got it. And then they brought me a drink full of booze. And right as I was drinking it, Louis stopped me. And but it was like almost ruined five fucking years. Yeah. Yeah. And it'll be five years next Friday. So no, shit, this Friday, it'll be five years this Friday.

Holy shit. On St. Patrick's Day. So it's like, too, too fucking to get that close and have had a blow in it. It was just like, I spent the rest of that dinner just like sitting just quietly. It just took me out of it completely. That really upset me that they wouldn't take extra

special care with something like that. Like anywhere. They were so flipping up, they did not give a fuck. They didn't give a fuck. And it's like you have no idea what someone's going through when they ask for something very important. And we were very clearly very adamant about it. Yeah, you know.

Like please make sure there's no alcohol. Like, it's really, it's really hard for me. And the same for Hannah, because she's pregnant. Yeah. She has announced that by the way, Hannah McCarthy, pregnant, congratulations. But also, like, she wasn't drinking, obviously. So it's like, please make sure these drinks do not have alcohol.

Especially when you're like pulling people aside, you're like, hey, really? Like, really make sure, Trevor Goenervere, please make sure that it's not tail. Yeah. It's just rough when everyone just kind of has an an absorption about like how everyone else functions

and like what's going on in their lives. And then they never realize like the small little thing they do could have a huge impact on someone else's life. Absolutely. So it's like that carelessness that, yeah. Because like, yeah, what if you are struggling and then like let's say you accidentally get a drink that has alcohol on it

and it like sets you back? I don't know, I mean, it would fuck up the streak but it would just feel like a personal failure but I also don't know what would happen if I drank alcohol. I don't know that I, you know. Yeah, no. You know what I'm talking about.

Yeah, I don't know what would happen. I'm scared to find out. Yeah, so like, I mean, I'm always like'm talking about. Yeah, I don't know what would happen. I'm scared to find out. Yeah, so like, I mean, I'm always like comfortable talking about my experiences, right? Just because like, I feel like my experiences could always help someone else, right? So like, with me, when I broke my story recently, it was just, I was in a bad argument.

I had a lot of emotions running through me and when everything snapped, I ran to my fridge and I just grabbed two handles of alcohol and I just opened it and I chugged a whole bottle down. And then I was holding the other one and it was shaking because I was angry, I was emotional, but also I just realized it broke my subride. So I was just all over the place. And Destiny was trying to be, you know, be that support. And for a while, all I did was I held that bottle. It's high as I fucking could, sat on my couch for like an hour just shaking because I was like, you're fighting that mental temptation,

you're fighting that like emotional thing, you know, just emotions rising in you. And so like, it scared me because it was like, is this going to set me back every little progress I've made, right? And that's like the scary part. But then I think at the same token, me like taking a second, stopping and thinking about it made me realize how much stronger I was and how much progress I have made.

And it's like one incident doesn't ruin all your efforts. And recovery isn't a straight line. No, it's not meant to be. It's not. And it's impossible. It's human to fall and get back up. It's not always your perfect. You're doing everything right.

Like there's no right way to go about it. Every experience is individualized. It's based on you and your specific, like your specific road to being sober and everything like that. So, I mean. Well, if there's anything you ever need from any of us here in our team,

like, absolutely, you're on here. Same to you, because I'm sorry that that happened because I know that feeling. I know that feeling of like, whether it's, like I've had a group of friends who try to push me basically out on my sobriety before you know and it's like why? What are the names and where do they live? But it's like why? You know like I'm you know people always talk about how you do bad things when you're not sober but then you're trying to sober but then they push you to do the bad things and it's like what do you what do you you know. Yeah and and people can enable without they don't even realize they're doing it, which is really the painful thing, you know.

Well, very like, people want to be surrounded by people who are doing things that they're doing. So it's like, oh, if we're out drinking and you're not drinking, it's like, oh, why aren't you drinking? Like, come on, like get drunk with me, blah, blah, blah. And it's just like this really common social pressure that people get put into.

And it's just like, oh, I'm not drinking right now or I don't wanna drink tonight. And that should just be it. There should never be like, oh, I'm not drinking right now or I don't want to drink tonight. And that should just be it. There should never be like, well, why? Yeah. Or like, what's going to like, it doesn't matter. And everyone's definition of sobriety is different, right? Right.

Like, there are people who don't want to touch whatever they're trying to sober up from like ever again. Yeah. Or like, for me, what helped me was like with alcohol mine was just, I'm not going to get to a certain point. I'm going to remember every single moment that I've had and that's my goal, whether it fails or not, it happens. But for me, me reaching what I, concerted in my cell to be so, was being able to take a drink

and not crave it, not physically sit not physically sit there and like I need it I don't think it's physically possible for me to feel that way and not crave it to do yeah Well, you've talked you've talked openly about how you have a very addictive personality and so like you probably do things in Streams do you find? Yeah, for sure like this company, right? Yeah, yeah, I like Streams do you find? Yeah, for sure. Like this company, right? Yeah. Yeah. I like, I think that if I had a drink, like I have a night, recurring nightmares about it. If I had a drink, like if I, my nightmare, I'm always like at a party or someone's house and I just pick up what I think is my drink and then it's not, and I have just chugged like a gin and tonic.

But I think if I had a drink, I'd probably lose a year of my life. I think it would take me a while to climb out of that. Yeah. I just, I don't want to be there again, you know. Well, we're proud of you. Thanks. That's a great year. That's a great year. We should be proud of yourself because five years is not a short amount. We just talk about two weeks is not a short amount of time. Five years is like an incredible feat.

And even though it's like a constant struggle, you should be proud of yourself because taking that victory in helps you. You know, it helps you mental. It helps push you further. So you are wise beyond your 25 years. I was going to say, yeah, bam, bro, you know what? I'm going to go ahead and we'll just renew that contract for tomorrow. Oh, we did. Oh, one extra day.

I was just shocked tomorrow. Every night I go home, Jeff, you have annoyed at go home to Destiny. I'm like, I'm like, babe, babe, I really hope. Tomorrow. And then like, I get that little like babe, I really hope. I have a chance tomorrow. And then like, I get that little like notification, like in slag. It's like, Joe, you're good to go from arm to arm. It's like, oh my God. It's always at like 1159.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they always got it close. It's like anywhere from 1145 to 1159. It turns out that wasn't an alarm for him to feed Henry. It was alarm. That was where my mom did the. I was wrapped up the contract. I got it changed to date on the contract.

How long have you been here now? Two months? Three months? It's actually, let's see, it's right over three months. Okay. You came in January, right? January. I moved here in January.

I think I got hired, beginning, I got hired on the 6th of December. Right, right, right. I remember when we had the conversation, we were like, so do you want to come work here? We'll hire you and Joe was like, all by a house today the conversation, we were like, so do you want to come work here? We'll hire you. And Joe was like, all by a house today. Yeah. It was like, and then he did. I actually moved pretty quick.

I've been like a month. You moved very quickly. Yeah. How has it been so far? Now that you're three months into a russure teeth, how does it feel? I love it. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, I was honestly a little nervous just because like me, I came from being like a solar streamer, and it's like, I've always wanted to work in groups, I came from being like a solo streamer and it's like I've always wanted to work in groups but I never had like the availability, right? It's like it's always like, oh I'm maybe hang out with like one or two people on a stream and it's so different and then coming in and like realizing like what I do directly impacts how all my other peers

and my colleagues, you know, like all my friends now that are here, it affects how they do their jobs. I called his friends. I kind of just like, I was definitely nervous, but like now that I'm here, I love it. That's great. It has been a delight to watch you replace Trevor and Alfredo's eyes.

Oh, thank you. Absolutely. Yeah, you know, I think that's gonna have a few comments. He just has more time for you now. Okay. Yeah, that's not a bad thing. He's always had time for me. Yeah.

It's like, I'm going, like, so like, you know, I'm replacing Trevor and Alfredo to tell him this, like, day by day. So like the more daily renewals I get, it shortens their contract. That's the contract. The contract says you're not placing Trevor on for one day.

Yeah, basically. We were talking about this recently, I forget, who else was in this conversation, but I was like, man, I don't know that there's ever been someone who has fit so instantly and so perfectly, like Joe has, just like immediately. Oh, thank you. It's taken like no time at all for you to feel like right at home.

Oh, I think it's also. And of course, like everyone knew it at Cheema Hunter has just been such a perfect fit. Yeah, no, no, that's not to discredit anybody else in the Chimahun. But yeah, you definitely on day one, it seemed like you'd been here for five years. Yeah. Oh, thank you guys.

Yeah, obviously, obviously it was the help of like everyone else too. Like they've made it feel like home, you know what I mean? Like you've made me feel super welcome. And you're the OG, you know? Like it, it, that, the oldest? It's the oldest of G's. Yeah, and so like, you know, that part helps for sure is just having that support of like, you might be new, but we're going to treat you like you've been here for who knows how long, you know?

Yeah, well, she's been so nice to have like new people come onto the team just because like, I mean, Jeff, you could probably attest to this, but like Achievem Hunter and all the groups have been just like the same people for a very long time, and it's always hard to bring a new people because it's such a huge barrier to entry. And it's such an intimidating dynamic to watch and to walk into, you know?

And I don't know how people do it, I really don't. It's that barrier to entry got to be very intimidating. It was definitely a little stary and like a little daunting. To see it like for the first time in person, like seeing how like Michael Trevor and Frado and like all of them just kind of going, like going after each other, like with every little bit and just like without fault or like anything in between and it was it felt a little scary because I was like am I am I going to be able to match the

yeah, I'm going to be able to add something to that because I don't think for me it's about fitting in about adding something to the team and you know or else Why am I here if I don't add something to it right so I think I think part of the the blessing and the curse of what we do at Rochetheeth is we make what we do look very easy and acceptable. But you are right, that what they do at Achievement Hunter, it is a chaotic but well-oiled machine. And they are doing hard, it is hard work to do what they do and to make it look so seamless. And it requires a tremendous amount of chemistry and shorthand, creative shorthand between people, but also a lot of repetitions, a lot of years of working together and getting to know each other.

And it's a really impressive thing, what they do, and what everybody at Ruchite does. Thank you. And making, no everybody for sure, but making, I'm just speaking to him about the year. It's a season does. Yeah. And making, no everybody for sure, but making, I'm just speaking to him about it here, it's a season A. But I'm sorry, I will. But it is, I guess it's a testament to how good they all are at it because it looks so

seamless and so effortless on camera, I think. They don't just see, like these are really talented people doing a really good talented job to make it look like. Yeah, I think that's simple. The one person who made it really easy though was Lindsay because Lindsay would open up a lot of like sections in the conversation to kind of push me and other like, like, kind beaker into the conversation

and kind of uplift us. So they've been a lifesaver with that because it allows all the new people to feel like we have a moment to like get our peace in and part of what's going on. So that definitely helped a lot. It's always good to have somebody who's very socially aware like that. Yeah, what's going on? It's like one of those bullet trains that never stops and you just kind of kind of jump on and you know, in a soft way,

so you just never know where to jump in. And those early days, it's hard. Lindsay is a great facilitator though. They handled that role very well. Jack Jack used to do a pretty good job of that too. I need to use a little lame now, but yeah. Well actually, you know what? Cause Jack's been on sabbatical.

So I haven't seen much of him since I moved. I don't think I saw him at all until like a couple weeks ago. Yeah, cause he hasn't really been in the office. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we, I mean, he comes in, we do in your past, but yeah. And I know Gavin's been like busy with some other stuff that he's been working on, so he's been out of the office and off the podcast,

obviously you guys have noticed that I'm sure for a little bit. But he lost a bet on fuckface that he has to do on this podcast. So people want him to come back so we can do the bet. Oh no. Is that why he's been avoiding us? Yeah, he went to England to avoid wearing 64 pieces of clothes at once on this podcast. Is that what it is?

64 pieces of clothes. He and Andrew had a bet. Andrew, they bet that Andrew couldn't be Donkey Kong 64 in 48 hours, 44 hours. And if they did, then Donkey Kong Country, is that what it is? I don't know, the long one. 64 is like the three-butt-flanky-con. Yeah, that's 64. Yeah.

And so he had to beat it, start to finish or 100% it okay in like 40 hours Like did it could look up like a speedrun for like seven minutes probably. Yeah, but they had to be 100% So there's a bunch of shitty had to collect and stuff Yeah, and he did it and if he hadn't done it He would have to eat a banana every day for 64 days can't stand bananas, which is I don't get but whatever and then Gavin has to Were 64 items of clothing so I it's a really good banana. Easily. It turns out 44 hours is like ton of time.

Yeah. And you did it. Can't wait to have him on. Yeah. So next time you see Gavin, he's going to just have him wear a CC4, like a CC4 socks. And you get to see if he can walk around properly. Yeah, you can wear like some scarves.

You can wear like a few clothes. Yeah. There's a way to divvy it up, I think that looks nice. Rain's are those counters that cheat? That probably is like jewelry. Yeah, that can wear like a few clothes. There's a way to divvy it up, I think that looks good. Rains, so those kind of is that cheating? That probably is like jewelry. Yeah, that's jewelry. A putramon. Yeah, I guess you guys have to specify.

I have nothing to do with it. It's whatever Andrew says. Andrew gets to pick, so. All right, well, it's about time to wrap up the main podcast, but we're going to be doing the post show right after this. So if you are a first member, you'll be able to watch that very soon.
