I am Barbara. I am Andrew. And I am also Bains. It'm Barbara. I'm Andrew. And I'm also Beans. It's the 700th podcast. Woo! Woo! Woo! And, you know, the 700th podcast,

the traditional gift for the 700th podcasts, as we all know, is Beans. Beans! Why are we doing this again? I like it. You tell me I've been gone for two weeks, and I came back to beans. I heard a day of Andrew being like,

again, Austin, he wouldn't be on the podcast, but like, bring a bunch of shit for making beans. I like this morning, I head to your Barbara, a quick synopsis of the last two weeks, and the beans saga, just to like get her caught up to speed, because you hadn't been here for a couple of weeks. Yep. And those like, as I was saying it and explaining to her,

I was like, yeah, this is dominant or care anymore. Is this your beans jacket? Yeah, we're eating beans. So I brought my jacket. The beans blazer. Crushed velvet beans blazer. Yeah. Is everything going to be the beans something?

This podcast? The beans something, the beans pie. Yeah, the beans blazer, the bean Gavin. Tell it into my bean mic. Bean mic. We have lava liars on this time because we are off our normal set. Yeah.

We are at these tables covered in supplies to make our own beans, I guess. To make our own canned beans. Is this the shortest distance we've ever traveled from the set? Yeah. No, because it's right. We might be in approximately the right spot.

Just all that stuff's pushed back. Oh, sweet. Perfect. Give or take. We're just a little higher. Wait, what the hell's this just all that stuff's pushed back. Oh, sweet, perfect. You have a take. We're just a little higher. Wait, what the hell's this? What's wrong with it? Yeah, beans.

Is it my beans? This was originally gonna be a 24 hour podcast because we had to let the beans soak and we're gonna make them from scratch. See, I wasn't entirely sure how we were gonna do it because yeah, normally, if you cook beans, you either have to soak them or if you don't soak them,

you have to cook them for like a day. Yeah. In order to get them to be cooked. We're taking the shortcut, Eric Wattas can to beans. Eric, what the goddamn? Okay. What in the gut about what we have? What did I type on Slack?

Yeah, we took one by one and just guess what we should. We should start with Gus. Okay, so I said, Pinto beans, the only true bean. All those beans are in posters, Andrew you know what I'm talking about. You want some... Pretender beans. Some salt. I didn't ask for pepper.

I don't know what the fuck that's doing here. That's funny. Some cumin. I'll use a pepper. Peco de gallo, cilantro. Ooh, peco. And bacon. See, the thing is, you need bacon if you're cooking beans

for like 24 hours. We don't have the kind of time to slowly cook bacon, so I'm not actually gonna put the bacon. And with these beans, otherwise someone would puke. You can have it tomorrow. Wait, why wouldn't you just cook the bacon first then put the beans in the bacon? You could, I mean, you would have... Cook the bacon in that? Yeah, but it's like a pan that's tool.

You could just kind of... You could have, I know there was gonna be bacon here, because I was also like, I was gonna get bacon, and since we didn't have, I didn't know we had, would have bacon, I brought butter, because you need fat in it. You do. That's the key. I like that. I think I have a pound of bacon here. I think I can look at you up with some bacon, dude. Thanks, dog.

Gavin. What do you have, Gavin? What, what? Specified Hines. I did. And I went to two different stores. And you got to fill Hines. Do you got to fill Hines? Wow. No, should this Viesta have Hines?

They sure do. And so does the HGB. No. Does Fiesta have Heinz? They sure do. And so does the HGB. No. He wants the HGB. Gotta go to the British aisle. He stole the basket. British aisle. I went to the international aisle.

I went to the bean aisle. I accidentally stole the basket from HGB. We should put that on the set whenever we get the official new set. We should have the HGB basket on there. Country style, thick, rich, sour, bacon, extra brown sugar beans. So, those are good stuff. There are two other kinds of beans. They're also that are baked beans, and then also tomato sauce, in case you need it.

All right, so. Are they British beans? Press the authenticator. Get it! Okay, those are British beans. I don't want to spoil what you're going to make, but I just also got a look at what might B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b- You put it in the butt. How am I gonna make toast? You have the heart. You can take the pot off and put it right on the burner. Oh. And then you can put this on here and like,

smoosh it down. I wouldn't do that. Smash cut to fire engines just on all sides. Yeah. All right. What have you guys got? Well, I don't think I really thought this through very much because literally, like, what it was at noon today,

Eric's like, what do you want for your beans? It was like 10 a.m. Okay, it was earlier in the morning, yeah. I said Heinz beans and toast, and I got neither. So what have you ended up with? Well, you're not gonna get toast. You have to make the toast. Otherwise, it's gonna be rock hard by the way that it's made.

I asked Eric for garbanzo beans. Carbanz. Kidney, and pinto beans. And pico de galle. Look at you, yeah. And tortilla chips, because I'm actually going to make a bean dip. Oh. In which I require nothing else but these ingredients. You're just making a dip.

I'm just making a dip. I'm keeping it simple. Don't need heat. Don't need anything. Honestly, this is really good to make at home. You mix all these three and the pica de galle, stir it up in a bowl. That's a three bean dip. Exactly. And all your vegetables are already cut up

from the pico. Barbara, trust me, I'm on the same, except I got hot. Oh, you did? Oh, I prefer. I did not get you hot. You did not specify hot. I specified hot, pica de galle. You don't specify you lose out.

And sometimes if you specify, you lose out. And I didn't specified high. I specified hot. Hot, you know. You don't specify you lose out. And sometimes if you specify you lose out. I didn't have it. More people may be prefer mild, because if some people don't like spicy, they could have some. This is the British peek at a bio. Yeah, it's a bio, so. Mild. The beak of the rooster.

I might need a bowl. Although I guess I could use this as my bowl. It's something bad. OK. Brother, I gonna be fine. Okay. Brutber, I have wonderful news for you. There is a perfect bowl. I have two bowls. I'm being pulled right here.

I'm excited for it. I'm most excited about this. And you brought his own things. You put your own cutting bowl? I brought, I didn't know what was gonna be here. So I was like, listen, I'm gonna come correct. I think you just made ingredients. So I brought my own Japanese knife to cut up some stuff,

got some garlic powder, some chipotle powder, smoked paprika, we got chili powder, we got, again, didn't know if we were gonna have bacon, so we've got some fat here, onion, bell pepper. And I might steal some pico as well, because that sounds like a good idea. You know, I borrow any of mine. Sometimes I'll go with the white onion,

but today I decided to cheat and go with the pico because it's already got your onion tomato and everything. Yeah. Like, I step into it. You know what's funny about this? I feel like every dish that each of us is preparing is very indicative of who we are as cooks. Like, you, I think, are pretty...

You're a pretty good chef. You cook a lot of stuff. Gus, you as well. Yeah, I've been on a bean. Gavin, a little more simplistic. Me, and be fuck all. Yeah, like you said, you don't even eat the heat. Gavin, a little more simplistic. Me, and fuck all. Like you said, you don't even need the heat. I'm going to mix my ingredients together and it's done.

The heat comes from the pico. I'm going to pour one ingredient on the other. I've never cooked bacon in a hot before so I'll just cook it. Are we just looking at an opinion? I'm going to convert to toast to most. You're doing your toast first. What are you an animal? I can't. I'm not gonna cook it in all the bean goo. I'm gonna use this can.

Just put the toast directly on the burner. After the beans. All right, what are the most hienzy like? Well, that's why I got you the tomato sauce, so you can add your own tomato sauce. Thanks, Eric. Where should we pour the liquid from the bean? Into the trash can.

The trash can right here. Straight up liquid into the trash can? The trash can right here. Just straight up liquid into the trash can? Yeah, it's a trash can. Yeah, but it's a little thin bag. It's gonna seep through. Don't you think so? I think so. I think so.

It's a trash can. That's where it goes. Oh! It's already a disaster on Barbour's side. What happened, Barbour? There we get, napkins. Barbour's a disaster. Yeah, right in the trash can.

It should be right between you. There should be a paper towel. Are you in Andrew? Oh. Are you between you and Andrew? I mean, are you a straight down can opener or an on the side can opener? Straight down. On the side is for like people who want to be too fancy. I'm going to get fancy on this because we are making beans on toast.

Uh, Andrew, you want me to take some bacon over there? Or are you on the... You know what? Yeah, bring me some bacon. I got our bonso bean juice all over my pants. We got lost. What's the best way to do this? I don't know what it is if me spilling on myself.

What are you doing? Where are you? Why was it fair? Is he spinning around? Yes. I don't want to block the camera. Also Andrew's cutting onions right next to me. There you go, Andrew.

This is an audio broadcast. Yeah, not today, it isn't. How many slices do you go on with there? Two. You're not supposed to use the bean water? I don't. Barbara wanted to rinse her beans. Maybe if I rinse my beans of all the brown sugar and bacon, I could just put them straight in the tomato.

I didn't have hines. I was in the bean aisle in two stores for 15 minutes. You don't want to be in the bean aisle. You want to be in the national. I went to the international food section. There's beans, there's fine's been sitting in that HB right this time. Just look next to the boiled meats. Yeah.

Guys, you can chop up the bacon. Okay. I'll just say it. Okay, beans to go with it. I said I'm a little frazzled at the moment. Don't get beans on my jacket. Yeah! Oh.

Oh, they smell like... I mean, it smells delicious on set, I will say. Like, I love the smell of onions, so this is great. And then beans, good. What about raw bacon? Raw bacon, good. All right, let's turn up this heat. You didn't turn the heat on before you put it in there?

You put it in. It's wrong, my pen is preheating. Do we have, I think, we lost Chad as well. Oh, no. Oh, yeah, because there's an Adobe Flash update. Didn't they end that? I thought that Dr. Software didn't exist anymore. That's the Flash update. Didn't they end that? I thought that the software didn't exist anymore. That's the final update.

Do we have an update? Do we have an update? Do we have an update? Yeah, there's an update. There's an update. I use Nature's napkin. They're behind us on the chair. Debuta, dood.

Oh, Andrew's stuff smells so good. I literally just cut an onion. That's all it takes. What's wrong with you, David? Sorry, I'm suffering a poor heap of slices right in the trash can. And I'm pouring into your spine. Come on here.

It's gone. It's gone. It's gone. It's completely gone. It's gone, David. It's gone. It's gone. It's gone. It's gone. It's gone. It's gone. It's gone. It's gone. It's gone. It's gone. It's gone.

It's gone. It's gone. It's gone. It's gone. It's gone. It's gone. It's gone. It's gone. It's gone that's down there. That's a slice of bread, Gavin's through in the trash, and then I continued to pour my bean juice over it. It's covered again.

Well, thanks. I'm sorry, did just the sight of bread. He hates wet bread. Here. But you put beans on bread. It's on toast for stock, and you've got to eat it quick. If you want some disinfecting wipes, we're handling the bacon.

You're about this. What, you want some disinfectant wipes, we're handling the bacon. Be here to mouth this. Wait, you can just hand him the stuff. Like the camera's, dude. We're not getting the way the camera's. How is this not cooking? Gavin, when was the last time that you made beans like this? Well, most of my teenage years, and also about a week ago.

Oh, you. We were talking about beans with a podcast, and I saw some hines. Mike, in my pantry, I thought I'm going for it. Mike, get this on the lab. Listen to that. Ooh. That sounds so good. That's good. That's a sizzle. That's a sizzle. That's what I'm singing.

We don't need to stake. Stake is a crotch. A crotch. Oh, that's a rock. What's hell wrong with me? We didn't stake. Stake is a crotch, a crotch. They're rocks, which I'll throw in there. How these beans start to smell bad? They're bushes beans. Rolled that beautiful bean footage. Do we have, it's anyone who has a butt set?

I do. I do. It's American butter, though. Is that matter? It's the barriest summit, at some point. It's not olive oil if you want olive oil instead. It's not carry-go. How much can I slice you up? So you have some better? How much you want?

Carry-go, the mana culture over there. I'm looking to spread it on two slices of bread. I think you'll have enough. Oh, thank you, right? Woo! How's all y'all's dishes coming? Oh, my bacon's starting to cook. Yeah, once it gets going, it'll get to go.

Your light's on right here. Oh, sweet. You want me to turn that, feed up a bit. Oh, shit! Oh! Why don't I boil the beans? Just want to lightly heat them.

Get a little slow s'mah. I don't know about you guys, I'm really looking forward to the food poisoning. Hey, I guarantee you, you won't get any from mine. Her door dash is coming with beans any second. My dish is almost done. Alright, we got the cilantro golem. Where are serving plates?

Oh, they're right behind you next to coffee. Oh, there. Oh, perfect. I'm actually really excited to eat everyone else's too. Are we doing like an official judging area? Like, how's that working? I think that it really comes down to you guys. It doesn't have to be a ball.

I mean, clearly, it's not going to be a boring taste. But really, you got to be honest with yourselves at who makes the best beans here. This is on an honor system. You know, look in your heart. Look in your heart. That's Eric saying he does not want to get in your heart. Yeah. Look in your heart. That's Eric saying he does not want to get the food poisoning.

Yeah, what's this in a layer of slightly light abutta? Oh, that's where it probably got a little bit warmer, and then re-reconjuelled. Reconjuelled. Oh, yeah. Those are speed holes. They make the carton of the beans. Oh, yeah, speed holes. holes, they make the carton. Oh, yeah, speed holes.

So how's everyone's weekend? It was good. I didn't really do too much. What about you? You guys all see a multiverse of madness. I did not. Did you? Yes.

How was it? It's too early to talk about that film. I think it's too early to talk about it. I enjoyed it. You liked it. It's hard for me not to enjoy a Marvel film. I finally got around to watching No Way Home. I know I'm really late on that one. What do you think?

It was good. It was really, really good. I love that one. I thought Far from Home was kind of weak. But I thought, they needed to get through that. I think they kind of set up where they went with no way home. Yeah. So I thought, I just love the multi-decade payoffs.

Why? Why is it that whenever they do, up until Dr. Strange, whenever they do multi-verse stuff, it seems like it's always Spider-Man. Like, into the Spider-Verse and then no way home. Well, I mean, this one wasn't multi-verse Madness yet. Before this one. Yeah, it seemed like Spider-Man was always the one

that was willing to like swing from universe to universe. Yeah. So to speak. Figuratively and literally. Yeah. So do I want to add this tomato sauce to these? Probably not, first, I would say. I think I should try and keep this edible.

I'm going to hear some. Ooh, look at the M.B. You want to hear some bacon sizzling? Yeah this edible. I'm gonna hear something. Ooh, look at them being. You wanna hear some bacon sizzling? Yeah. Mmm. Got boiling hot grease. Ow. I completed Fallout 3.

Final, you finally beat it? Yeah, she must, I wrote out, I figured out the day between my first and last achievement. It took me trying to find it. Those paper towels go. Oh, OK. I'm done. You're done.

Four for win! Woo! It took me 4,657 days between... What? ...between achievements. 4,000. But 100% done. So this include all DLC or just like core fall out three all of it all of it all of it Yeah, I just I just

4,600 and something yeah, it was about 13 years. Let me taste Almost Yeah, I just missed some side quests. There's a lot of DLC for fall out three Yeah, there's a lot of DLC for Fallout 3.2. Yeah. There's a lot of fucking achievements in that DLC. I've done all the main stuff. You're good, you're done.

Delicious. Can I try it? Absolutely. Chip and dip. Make sure you get every... Every bean possible. Every bean, everything. Oh yeah, let me get you getting on with this?

I just like Barbara finished hers and everyone's eating it. Andrew is so dialed in right now. Like, it's so lame. He's in the zone. Funny. He's just taking forever for this fucking bacon to cook here. Pretty good, huh? How many of that?

Yeah, simple, healthy. Got to sweat out these onions. Hey, Blaine, you want to try Barbara's beans? Pretty good, huh? How many of that? Yeah, simple, healthy. Got to sweat out these onions. Hey, Blaine, you want to try Barbara's beans? Barbers are done. Mine is a dip. Hello, Blaine. Hello, what do we got here?

What do we got here? We have a three-bean dip. You want to try some beans? I'm gonna swap a few handsawk with some ham on the mouth. Hi Cameron. I like your serving dish, which is a lid. I'm using what they gave me. Thanks nature. There's supposed to be cold, right?

Yeah, okay. It's a cold-tree bean dip. Gavin, what are you, are you hand-buttering now? Well, yeah, I don't have a knife. And now? You have a knife? Where? I don't think we have a knife. I think't have a knife. And you have a knife? Where? I don't think we have a knife. I think you have a knife.

Oh, there's only one knife? Yeah. Oh, I cut bacon with it. You don't want to use that. No, I'm basically just trying to... Oh, yeah, that's wonderful. I'm trying to non-stick the bread, so I can touch them. Thank you.

Sorry, dude, I thought we'd try our knife. I'm okay. I'm vegan Mortonensen and Eastern Promises. I live in the zone all the time. Ha ha ha ha ha. Barbara, feedback on your bean dip. It mostly tastes like tortilla chips and pico. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Hey guess what, it's that and beans. It's missing the bean flavor, I think. I don't know if it's a bean. It's a bean flavor. Beans have a great health benefits, so it's like you're getting the chips and dip, but also the bean health benefits. You know, beans are good for the heart.

The more you eat them, the more you're far. I want to stick around for Andrew's beans, because when I walked in, those are the ones that I smell the most. They smell the most. I don't even know whose beans just sniffed. Because he's got bacon, and I can smell. No, weirdly.

That's just bacon. Gus, you have bacon? It's just that. Yeah. Well, oh, so you're cooking bacon. OK, I'm smelling yours. I don't want anything to do with Gavin's smoking. Yeah. Well, oh, so you're cooking bacon. OK, I'm still on yours. I don't want anything to do with Gavin's beans. Shit.

What do you mean? I want something to do with it. I was rooting for you, too, because I was telling Eric I was like, Gavin has the most experience with beans. He's been eating them for breakfast. Dude, it's the one thing you're dinner. What? Johnny's my favorite.

He's British. You don't eat beans for breakfast, bro. You didn't toast it yet. You're buttering it already? Why? I'm only buttering it. I don't know. I'm just realizing Gavin did toast his bread.

He's just getting ready. I'm literally getting it. Do you not think Mexican's eat beans for breakfast? Okay. Here, counterpoint, if I had said anything about you being Mexican and beans, you would have fucking killed me. I would have even crucified live onset.

Yeah, I did. You said that Gavin has more experience with beans than me. He's bread-ish. He's in for breakfast. He's doubling down on it. It's one extra meal that he who don't do. Mexicans eat beans for breakfast. Oh, that the reason I started making beans recently was to start eating them for breakfast. He's doubling down on it. He's one extra meal that he who don't do. Mexicans eat beans for breakfast. Oh, that the reason I started making beans recently

was to start eating them for breakfast. The name of breakfast meal that I can eat that is for Mexico. All right, we got beans at Mexico tortilla. It's like the most basic thing. Every little kid in Mexico, like every little kid on the border or in Mexico grows up making that. every little kid on the border or in Mexico grows up making that.

And yes, to answer who isn't chat ill or ring asked, if I'm still vegan, I normally don't eat meat during the week. I normally just eat plant based during the week, but I'm making a small exception. For the beans. We gotta do it for the beans. I usually very much. So the bread before I toast it, but I don't want to stick.

Are you waiting? No. I'll try it. Is this how toast is made? New. Whoa. We're getting fried bread. Actually worked pretty good.

It actually worked well. Yeah, it worked better than I thought. Works very well. This episode of the received podcast is brought to you by Squarespace. Make your websites on your own is hard, and there's so many awful website building platforms out there with limited features.

the way it did before. It's hard. We've all been there. We associate burnout with work, but it's not the only cause. Any of our roles in our life can lead us to feel burned out.

He didn't want to do it. Barbara, you did a great job. Thank you, Eric. And I also agree with Cameron's assessment. Yes, absolutely. He's got a guy. Where is that, where's that mile picco? I used it all.

So if you need any, it's right in there. Yeah, would you like some for your dish? Be careful of the splash on here, Gavin. But he explains me what garbanzo beans are. Yeah, would you like some for your dish? Yeah, be careful to the splash on here Gavin. Can you explain to me what garbanzo beans, kidney beans, or pinto beans taste like? I think they just, I think the whole, I think you just need to start. You explain to me what they taste like?

That doesn't have a bean flavor? Yeah, no, they need salt, I think. I'll bring out the bean. I also agree with the salt group. We need more salt than that mix. Yes, I got you, babs. Thank you, thank you. I'm willing to give you just a second.

And I don't use precise measurements over here. We're doing dashes. Oh, yeah. You're going to shift the taste. You got a taste. Exactly. As you're going. Gavin, how's your toast?

My toast is on full blast. It's getting there. Inch. I'm not even going to say it, never mind. and how's your toast? My toast is on full blast. It's getting that. Inch. I'm not even gonna say it, never mind. That's really funny, Ariel, or T's. Thank you. Gus, how are your beans? Oh, yeah.

What'd you ask, Eric? How are your beans? They're good, I haven't started heating them yet. The bacon's almost done. I wanna make sure I get that cooked down. Got lots of fat extracted from it. Let me taste test my beans for these princesses over here. What?

We're not, we just, I just thought that, you know, they just needed a little salt. Might need a little more. See? Oh, you can do more. Okay, here you go, hey. Andrew, those look incredible. All right.

I'm not picking favorites, but Andrew. You might even eat it. There you go. Yeah, you're just looking at it. Take us, L Andrew. You might be able to eat it. Yeah, there you go. You're just looking at it. Take a slice. He's got a lot of spices, sure. What's the beans account? Ow!

You bring your pasta in the fridge. Oh, very good. That's most important. Let's burn. Take that off. Yeah. Look at the side. Is the heat off?

It's on the eye. No, you don't want to show it. It is as far from off as you can get. I'm making sure it's toasted and not a floppy bread. Is there another can of beans that I could add to this? Is there... Country-style baked beans. You don't want that.

No, I don't. I don't want that. Okay, I think our bacon here is... Cana, would you like a new taste? Or is your palate too advanced? All I have left is kidney and garbanzo. Oh, no! What do you want? What do you want?

What do you want? No. The toast is gone. What warned you? All right. Turn off the burner. You want to sweep that off with a paper towel so it doesn't... I'll just burn it.

It's unde. It's unde. It smells like fire. Yeah, that's Gavin's burner. All right, so now we're going to be in the scraping phase of the toast. Sprang. I like a little burnt on my toast. Sprang. So. I like a little burnt on my toast.

Oh, great. Oh, great. That's a little more than a little we got going to have in here. All right. Are you ready for the presentation of my beans? Yes. Yeah. Oh. Oh. That's okay, but wet bread is not. That's literally one World War II.

That is. Who would like some beans on toast? There you go. The whole thing? Well, you just cut it off probably, and uh... I would call that a toast under beans. There's forks and knives or forks and spoons and stuff behind you. That's load-bearing toast. Maybe a little bit of a... oh, before you go?

Oh, it's a little bit of... A little bit of... Oh, wow. Okay, here we go. Bam. I've taken my piece. Oh, wow. Ooh. Okay, here we go. Bam. I've taken my piece. I don't know how else to serve it. What does?

It's a little hot. Would you guys like some beans on toast? I'd love some beans on toast, please. All right. All right, I'm not trying the beans on toast. Ha ha. Ah. Yeah.

My eyes. It might be. My's so hot, Gavin. Oh, a little red, but I'll put out that fire. Come on. Oh, the butt. Gavin is beat red. His face. It's delicious though. Oh. There's no hind. It's delicious though. Oh. There's no hines, but.

Hell yeah. I love it. I love it. It's just beans and bread. You've gone down my beans and toes. You just got the huge cob. Got the huge cob. You're just saying that so you nobody else

has to taste your beans. But I liked it. You wanna try? Yeah. I think you had a good selection of bread as well. Yeah. Oh. Andrew, don't miss that.

Oh, I'm missing out. I'm missing out. I'm missing out. Oh, I'm missing out. Yeah. It's way too sweet. I would happily take more. The wrong beans, Gus.

It's so sweet. Oh, my God. Is that beans or is that dessert? Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! I didn't pour sugar on it.

It's brown sugar in the beans. It's delicious! Ah! What? What the fuck? I'm insulting. Eric, you're ruining the reputation of my entire country, Eric.

That's what I liked it. That's why I got you. Thanks, it. That's why I got you. Thanks, Barbara. That's why I got yours of what's a motto sauce. I feel like it tastes good, and like beans and toast I've had in the UK. That's what's wrong with it. Can you pass me the salt back, please Barbara?

Oh, whenever you don't. Andrew, how's Broadway? Oh, it's about to be. It's getting a little bit too, you's it going? I don't know more. Oh, it's about to bend. It's getting a little bit too, you know. Sorry. I'm quite happy. No, I'm just going to get in a race.

I got you. Absolutely. I don't know if I deserve beans. Do you want just the beans or the beans? Oh, shit. I'll take to this. Have you ever ate beans and thought, I wish I had some candy with these beans.

You know, I can say this. More salt on beans makes sense. It probably would never encourage some of the to add to it. Gavin, are you okay? Yeah, this is very hot. Please, yeah. There's your beef on the toast.

Oh, Jesus. Oh, this is about 200 degrees. It's so hot. It's so hot and so sweet. about 200 degrees. It's so hot. It's homemade. It's so hot and so sweet. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Cameron knows what he's talking about. Also finds it in disgusting. They're the wrong beans. I don't know what you guys are complaining about. It's delicious. Barbara loved them.

Bake beans are good. This is the shit that I would make in college when I was like, not making any money, and I just needed to scrape by. I was like, I got bread and I got beans. This is me and my friend. This is some prime time coming in after the bar. It's a college, but like, I gotta put a can.

Beans. How does this word? That's really good. That meal is like, here's your beans. It's the first time it happened. They didn't mean for it, too. Didn't mean it's a roll. It was a guy, a bean salesman,

and then he had a car accident with a baker. He didn't want to admit he was wrong, and it's like had to double down, like no, that's how it's supposed to taste. It was somebody working at a denny's where they serve breakfast like all day, and he accidentally spilled a breakfast dinner tray and there's a whole thing.

Oh. I'm so sorry really at what Andrew's got. Yes, you may use my tortilla chip. I'm sorry. No, it's kind of the toast that we had. The toaster? Honestly, for what you had, it worked pretty good. Is that, is that ready? I feel like I'm almost done probably within two or three minutes.

I'll be ready here. Oh, can I still some of your pico, the hot one? Yeah. You press that down, Barbara? Oh, my god. Go. Watching an artist at work. I was saying before, Blaine and Cameron, how our approaches to these meals

are very indicative of our cooking skills across the board. How I feel like Gus and Andrew are the most advanced. And then Gavin and I just go ingredient. Graduate level, beinology. Plot. Ingredient plus ingredient,eggles food. Equals food. You can tell Andrews are gonna be good

because he's normally a very chatty guy, but I think he's said about eight words. Wait, he's ladies or focus. He's been doing even one of them. I'm trying, I mean, bean mug. These are good. I got to say, I really think that Andrew's gonna win this, just based off of the ingredients I'm seeing here.

Look at this. Are you the judge? John, ready for tasting. Is this a... What's this? This is a situation where we have a winner in a loser or just enjoying beans for the seven people. I might have to...

I've got one spoon and a little thing. They might have a spoon over there, Cam. I'll get you one. I agree. It's my have to go to the audience for a... Yeah, put your address in the chat. We'll send you some. Mine will travel very well to you.

The same. Yeah, I really like yours. It's good, right? Healthy too. Got a little, ooh, cilantro, good. Yeah, bean. Got some bacon in there. Cameron, Blaine, how is it?

It smells great. Gus, can you explain what's in your beans? We got beans, of course. I got some bacon, cilantro, salt, and cumin. All right, yeah, that's it. Could I have some? Anybody want to do a preliminary taste test, Amon? I'd love to try.

I'd love to go first round. What do you mean, preliminary? Barbara, come on grab a spoon back there. That's my life. Gosh, those are very good. Thank you, thank you. And fork, whatever. That tastes like an actual meal and not an accident. What do you mean?

Boy, thanks, thank you. Oh yeah, I'll take some guss. You're a little bit. Oh, cute. I mean, been me. Ooh, they smell delicious. That's like how to say. Oh, man. Oh, thanks, cute. I mean, beanie. Ooh, they smell delicious. That's like how to say, you can make into perfection.

Thanks, dude. Yo, that's very good. All right, here we go. This is very good. Here you want to put it in this little bit. Mm. What? There's so much flavor in that.

How did you do that from your tiny little stool? Be me up, boy. These are good beans. Look at everyone gathering around Andrews and Gavin. It's just in the time of eating beans by himself. I tell you what, these would be killer on toast. Yeah. Oh man, these are both like Andrew and Gus's beans

are both delicious, but they're such different flavors. Like I'd say Andrews are more like a chili bean, and Gus's are more like. But the onion really paid off. A side dish bean. The fresh onion. Cody wants to come and eat the beans also Yeah Cody come on Yeah Cody you can have some get a play where's your little thing? Oh Damn, dude, I will say this

Occasionally Gus I do get a big piece of cilantro in there Mm-hmm, and then it's, it's far too cilantro forward. The problem I had was I cut the bacon first with my knife, and then I didn't want to use the knife again on the cilantro. So I had to try to tear the cilantro. Why? Because they're all going to go in the pot. Oh, man. It was raw bacon, and this one goes into the very end.

Okay, I got you. Clever. Yeah, so that was... That was a, there was no place to clean the knife. I understand. I don't know who's I like more. I might need one. I'm not really good. I would like Andrew's one day and to clean the knife. I understand. I don't know who's I like more. I might need one. I vote really good.

I would like Andrews one day and Gus is the next thing. Right, like Gus is, it's kind of like more of a fresh, like, light flavor. Yeah. And Andrews definitely has that like, kind of spicy, I'm slightly worried about the volume of flavor. Just this is a symphony of flavors.

The what? Truthfully. I have a little volume of mine. That is. Doesn't seem like a little bit of a pain in there. Oh, it's not a lot of things. You guys just a symphony of flavors. The what? Truthfully. I have a little volume of mine. That doesn't seem like a little bit of bait in there. Oh, it's not a lot of beans. You guys want more of mine? I'll come back to you, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You want another scoop of my mind? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cody got the beans ran behind the cameras, started eating them, and is just muttering, oh my god. There we go. Cody! I think I'm going to need a second spoonful of gussies just to really get that last comparison.

Come sit. Did you try yours yet? I had no clue. Yeah, I'm going to taste it. As I've been told. I'm going to put in the little... Is there more? Right now.

There's more. There's a little bit more. I also need one in each part of mine. Just like the little bit of yellow to get. Of course. I'm going to have them back to back. I'm going to go back and forth. Gus, did you have some of the injuries? I did. I'm eating it right now and I'm going to have them back to back. I'm going to go back and forth. Guess did you have some of Andrews?

I did. I'm eating it right now and I'm trying to process my thought on it. I think, I think, if I had, like, being totally objective. Being. I think Andrews beans are better, but I think there's a little too much salt. Is my wife, I can be my one concerned about those things. I'm wishing the tray. But, yeah, overall, I think our just beans are better.

Oh man. Let's see, Cameron, whose beans do you pick? I think I have to go Andrew's beans. Wow. Hey. I'll be honest, I like the bacon-y tones. I gotta go Andrew's beans. I'm in through the... I didn't even have the bacon, which I thought was

the best feature of Gus'. I think Gus cooked his bacon to perfection, but I mean, the entrance is just, it's the best bean. You got more in there, guss? I'm going to go. Blaine has had a sexual experience here today with this. Gavin, what do you think? You don't have to give me too much, but.

I think you'll see an erection because this... I think I could eat more of gussies, to be honest. I could eat a bigger set. Yeah, because these will be great in a fancy restaurant, like on a spoon, and they served you with just one spoonful. Oh, sorry. If I'm eating a bowl of beans, it's probably gonna be these for me. Wow. Excellent.

I like that choice. Barbara, what do you think? I really don't know that I could pick one or the other in this situation, and I know that goes probably against everything we want from this outcome. That's true. It is a bean off. Like, are you trying gussies?

This is a mine. Oh. Do you want to try some of gussies? I do want to try some of gussies. I'll give you a little bit. I'll be honest, that both drastically lacking toast. But you know what, you're right, Gus. I'd back off the salt just like a little bit.

I was having it. I was like, if there were one more can of beans in here. Right. I think it's a side effect of not enough beans. So you wanted more beans to unsolute your beans. No, that's right, yeah. Absolutely. Like, the flavors and andres are so, like, I'd probably want less of it

because it's so flavorful. And I could probably eat more of Gus's, but I'm not saying I enjoy one or the other. It's kind of like when you have like chocolate cake versus like a light meringue, you know? Gus, tremendous beans, fantastic beans. Thank you, thank you. Very, I mean, true to my heart, very Mexican beans.

Yeah, like... You're from San Antonio, huh? Yeah, yeah. No, that's hitting all the right, all the right things. I did mine and kind of like chili beans down. Like, you know, if you were gonna eat it with like tortilla chips or like some cheese mixed on there or something. This is like, I'm picturing like, to Blaine's pointer,

like what I would make for breakfast, right? Like putting some beans down on the side of a plate with some eggs. Some eggs, yeah. The bacon also really stands out. Yeah, it does. In a good way. I feel like with mine, I maybe put a little too much bacon again, like the volume of the

beans, maybe inside of three, I should have added two and a half or two strips instead. I think it's the perfect balance, yeah. It's such a good bacon. I would say if I went to a restaurant and they served it like a Mexican restaurant, they served that, oh, that's a big. Yeah. Yeah, I think it pushes beans. What about my grandma?

Sorry, grandma. I would say I don't want to come back to this country anymore. Oh no. I legit looked over there, even though it was Gavin's voice. All right, blames out. Thank you for the beans guys. I appreciate it. Thank you, Cameron and Blaine for helping us. Thank you guys. Thank you, Cameron.

Happy 700. Oh, what cast? It's a rare dead coke a diet coke around here? I'll grab you one. Does anyone else want to eat it? You're going to be a regular coke? I've got my wallet. I could definitely use a... Gavin, do you want two choices and then pick one

and then go with the other one at the last minute? No, I have to do that. Okay, go ahead. Good day. Good day. Good day. Good day, good day, good day, good day. Good day, good day, good day.

Good day, good day, good day. Good day, good day, good day. Good day, good day. Good day, good day. Good day, good day. Good day, good day. Good's not too many beans left. Mine's done. Mine's just some bacon just sitting in the... Very delicious. Yeah. I know I was skeptical of the bean off, actually, as a whole show.

But I feel like this almost might be my favorite food podcast that we've done. I think it's better. It comes together faster than the steak. And it's better, it comes together faster than the steak. And it's easier. Like, everyone can participate here, and there's no walk into a grill or a whole lot of production. Like, you can just do it at the table in front of you. Yeah, and I didn't have to have Marl make minus here.

You didn't even know he had the steak off. It's true. The same to tea. Oh, no. Yeah, Eric really screwed me. What the fuck? Thanks, Eric. I appreciate it. Yeah, Eric really screwed me. What the fuck? Thanks, Eric. I appreciate it. Thanks for putting it all together. Eric, like... Eric, you get to try a little bit?

No, I didn't. I need to be... Oh, you really like it. You want some of these? No, God no. No, no, no, no. You bought them. Yeah, they're awful. Hang on. No, I appreciate Eric putting it up. Your beans look fucking terrible. Yeah, Eric did this all today. Yeah. Yeah. I wasn't sure how it was gonna come together. We'd been like bullshit.

I didn't think we were gonna do it. So, it's episode 700. It's episode 700 episodes is the bean episode. And that's a, Well, is it now a yearly thing? Well, that's the thing we did steak before. We did steak for about seven years. Yeah, right?

And it's like, look, we got six more years of beans. There's like stuff that it's fun to do, like the pancake podcast and stuff like that, because I feel like we can keep it for a steak is steak. Gavin put a big Mac in a steak, like we can only go so far. It's pretty good though. I like the idea of mixing it up a little bit with beans.

Yeah. Doing something different. Dude, let's do it, yeah, let's just try new things. You know what, I'll propose another one, rice, because it's another like, it's another staple that can go a million different ways. I'll be fucking ready by the time. Which is like, what does a three rice dip for me?

Well, no, I feel like you're right. Like there's so many cultures who have a different rice dish and there's so many different ways. Rice on toast. You can take rice. In fact, I was just watching a Mexican cookie show this past weekend about like the best way to cook Mexican style, like red rice. It's like, I'm never, I'm very picky about my Mexican style rice, but I've never, it's a dish I've never been able to do

well. I'm always trying to figure it out. Interesting. But yeah, it's like, because yeah, you're right, Eric, like steak is kind of steak. You can season it to a little bit, you can do it with some steaks sauce, you can put a little rosemary and butter and just like baste it.

Yeah, I can. But ultimately it comes out tasting like meat. Like it tastes like steak. Yeah. But there's whole steakhouse restaurants. There's no bean house. But there are bean baked houses. Like bring me up on this one.

And you never took me to one. The problem with steak is you reach a level, and then it's like, oh, the steakhouse can get a slightly higher quality of meat than I can buy myself. So you pay a ton of it for that. Host a bar. Yeah, see, this is what I want. Like, leave us a comment and let us know

what the next off should be. Because I really like Gavin's just kind of one off of like beans. Because who knew what the fuck it was gonna be? Like, who knew that this was gonna, Barbara just put beans in this pot, they're fucking good. And then like we got some really different stuff and it was like a lot of fun.

And I just feel like steak we just did so many times before. I just don't wanna keep doing the same. Look, it's a fun tradition, but let's- The steak is pretty date you. Oh God, yeah. Oh by like quite a bit, I think. Here's the thing that I think about the steak off. I feel like the reason we did that for so many years is because you and I just wanted to eat steak.

And I saw good away with it. And then I was like, I don't want to mix the... And then I switched to us making it. I was like, I don't want to do this anymore. I didn't even do it the first time. I had Merrill make my steak. Yep. So it was great, by the way.

She was an amazing cook. I saw in chat Peter H said, we need to make the mega bean. Oh. Oh. Yeah. We could just do pizza sphere correctly. She was an amazing cook. I saw in chat Peter H said, we need to make the mega bean. Whoa. Oh, yeah. We could just do pieces of fear correctly. OK, all right. Well, well, we're out now.

Right. Yeah. Thanks for the fuck you. I'm seeing a lot of pasta. Pasta might be a good one, because I feel like you would need a similar setup. Are we making our own? Yeah, our own pasta.

Yeah, all right. Which, by the way, you could make a cold pasta dish as well. Yeah. I had the pasta salad with my lunch today. So we're gonna get the cuisines in here. We're gonna do the actual rolled pasta and use the pasta cutter. Oh, yeah, yeah, like flour and egg in there.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, man, I'll tell you this right now. Making your own, like, you will be upset. If you don't make your own pasta at home, like using like a hand-rolled like actual cut fresh pasta It really does just like completely spoil you for going back to like box-pasta I've made it I mean it's it's so fucking I've made it by hand once and it was like such a huge undertaking I was like so so I'm gonna get you to clean all that's yeah It's it's a lot and then you go. Oh right. I can just throw this in some boiling water

I can throw some like noodles in some boiling water, box noodles, but the payoff. Fish off, and I went, please no. That's not get Chris. That'd be Chris with his salad dressing. That's all he'd need. Do ice cream? Soup off?

Well, here's the thing though, is like with pasta or rice. Like there are like rice dishes in the way, like you can cook rice differently. P are like rice dishes in the way, like you can cook rice differently. Pasta is interesting for me because like, you can make it, but ultimately, it's whatever, it's really, that's really a sauce off, if you ask me. Like, because the pasta itself is just like the base.

It's like the conveyance. Unless you do like a tortellini or maybe you can be oily. Or something like that. Sure, sure, sure. Give me the formula. Yeah, so I don't know. or maybe you can be oily or something like that. Sure, sure, sure. Give me the formula, oily. Yeah, so I don't know. If you do a pasta off, that feels like a sauce off to me.

And I just made a new avocado chimichurri sauce on pasta the other day. Incredible, so good. Interesting. Really good. Have they ever tried anything like that? Yeah, it's avocado, crushed red pepper flake, olive oil, lime juice, bunch of cilantro in there,

hit that thing in a food processor, get it like. Puree it. Puree it like smooth but not quite like liquid consistency. Why don't we just get Andrew's sprinkles every time it's on the box? Yeah, we just get Andrew to cook us dinner on the podcast. That's what I'm hearing. Yeah, like, every week.

It's just going to be the next one's a steak off, but it's Andrew just makes everyone's steak. Yeah. Just like pouring stuff. I love the new Eric shot that we have. Pretty milky. I love that. Where's that?

Oh, it's the BTC. Is it looking through a light? I think it is. All right, we'll have to. That's Eric's like cryptid photo. I like it. Yeah, I feel like it's fitting for. Yeah.

Does anybody else watch Atlanta? It's a TV show on FX. Oh, yeah. Donald Glovershow. Have you been, I don't know if you've what, there's like a new season it's going on. I haven't watched the new season though. In one of the episodes, Darius, they're like the whole, well, the premise of the season

is that paper boys on tour in Europe. But not every episode's about that, but that's not what I'm gonna talk about. But there's an episode where Darius wants Jolof, which is a dish I'd never heard, it's a food it's a dish I'd never heard before, it's like a Nigerian rice dish. And it makes you think about,

like, do you talk about the different ways to cook rice? And I'm like, I'm 44 years old, and there's like a rice dish I've never heard of. It seems like the most basic thing. And think about, like, you talk about the different ways to cook rice. And I'm like, I'm 44 years old. And there's like a rice dish I've never heard of. It seems like the most basic thing. And now it's like, I want to find like an Ijerian restaurant and eat Joel off. Like, why is it that it's so good? Like, it's like the, it's a B storyline of this episode

is Darius fighting Joel off. I was like, I've never heard of this. Yeah. You probably should never say, hey, you wanna go get Jol-Off? Cause it sounds like something else. Sounds like something else, entirely. There's a guy named Jol-Off on the show. You wanna go get him off? Oh yeah, let me get some napkins.

Almost did it, you almost had her. You got a pot-ranked friend of yours, you can do a spit, it's okay. Mm-hmm. I'm not gonna spit in my dish, cause I worked very hard on this for seven minutes. All right. Okay. Mm-mm. Ha-ha-ha. I'm not gonna spit in my dish, God. Ha-ha. I worked very hard on this for seven minutes, all right?

It's though, like, because the like, Bryce grows everywhere in the world and so like, every culture had their own take on it. It's just, yeah, it's fascinating. Interesting. So I've been away on the last couple podcasts. Yeah. Well, first time I was stuck in Dallas for 24 hours.

That was last Monday. That was two weeks ago. There were some really bad weather, and I ended up having to sleep in the Dallas airport. And there's something that they have there that I didn't know about called minute suites that I think are like intended for people to nap or just like chill out on a long wayover. But you could also rent it overnight.

And it was the sketchiest experience I've ever had. Those rooms, I had someone try to open my door four times. Wow. I didn't walk that? I keep going. There's a deadbolt. But you also don't get a key to it or anything like that. And so if you have to go to the bathroom,

you have to use the airport bathrooms. So you have to leave the minute-sweet area. And so if you have to go to the bathroom, you have to use the airport bathrooms. So you have to leave the minute suite area. And whatever you have in there. Unlock. And then you could go back to it, and there'll be someone else in there who tried to get in what was going to happen.

So what I did was I turned on the TV in the room and I made it really loud, and then I closed the door. So someone would think I was in there if I had to go to the bathroom or anything like that. That's going to say you used a peak cup. I almost did. I was considering, I had an empty bottle with me. I was considering

peeing in it covering it up and throwing it into the trash and I was like I don't want to sleep with my piss in here. Do you remember when you stole my do not a stepside? I did that again on on the recent trip to mine. No. Oh, sorry. Someone in such a someone in chat said there's no Native American rice. Is that right? Is there no American wild rice? Was that brought over by a-

Yeah, did rice not indigenous here? Oh. I don't know. Let us know. Yeah, a few years ago. No, it's not good. A few years ago, I think we got some event convention. And Gavin and I, we were boasting in the same hotel.

He, I think, was like two or three doors down for me. And when I was leaving my room, I realized that I didn't get a do not disturb sign. So I knew it was his room. And so I took his off of his door handle and put it on mine and then left for the day. And then what happened? Someone saw me do a poo.

Well, you can't blame Barbara. Someone saw him put beans on toast. Well, you kind of can blame me for that. You didn't lock the door. Why would I lock the door when I don't think anyone's gonna come in? It's like a hotel room, yeah. If you know you have your do not disturb sign in. Yeah, that's always locked the door. No one's gonna come, I always lock mine too,

but some people don't. Then why are you defending him? Why are you defending him? No, it was the cleaner. The door was locked as, you know, as it would be, but the bathroom door was a little bit, but when I was pulling. You can lock the door so the cleaner can't get in.

Yeah, but you wouldn't think that you would have to do it. Right, I don't think anyone's gonna steal my car. I still turned it off in the parking lot before I came in here. Do you always lock your hotel doors? Yes! I do, too. I do now.

I haven't always. Always locked. I'm just so often gay. I still would say it's my fault. I definitely made that cleaner sawgab and shit just being. Um, like, second, second part. Are you talking about lock your doors and dead, or like a little like slide, a lot like.

All of it, every lock on. The little hinge thing, the actual dead thing. Chair in the door handle, all of them. Gun tied up to the door, all of them. Home Alone style blowtorch. Yeah, yeah. I was picturing the little inflatable thing with a shower curtain behind it when you sit home alone.

Just that behind the door too. Thief, I'm gonna get you back. Someone's gonna watch you poo. I did that. I also did that recently at a convention I was at where I wasn't given a do not disturb Simon. I took it off someone else's door. I put it online.

Someone else. I'm terrible. I wasn't given a do not disturb Simon, I took it off someone else's door, I put it online. I'm really, I'm terror, I'm an awful person. Did it? Was it expensive to stay at that minute suite at the... I think it was like 150 bucks for the night. Yeah, yeah. Which, for no bathroom. But the thing is, is that, that day, when I was flying in, Dallas had awful weather

and then Austin had terrible weather the next day. And so the Dallas airport was jam packed with people. And so every hotel that was like attached to the airport or nearby the airport was like completely, either inflating their rates or just completely booked up. Was it behind the security? It was, yeah, it was in the actual terminal. So that's also the reason I want to stay.

So I just have to like lead the airport, go through security again and come back in His very convenient It's it's so funny how they design they design airport furniture like they design Anti-homeless Architecture in cities like big rigid armrests big fucking armrests like you. Like there's no surface you can lay on comfortably at all. I remember sleeping in the Orlando airport, which is kind of like sleeping anywhere in Orlando, awful.

And I remember having to wait because it was one of those like over, like, oh, it's a 6 a.m. flight, but we got there at midnight. And so, it's, you know, staying there overnight, but like lying just on the Orlando Airport floor, because there's no, like again, like this armrest on every seat,

no worried at comfortable. I can't sleep sitting up, because it's just the, so it ended up sleeping on the floor and was awoken by a very nice flight attendant coming up with a blanket from the plane. I was like, do you, do you, do you, do you want this? Like, yes.

Thank you. I don't want to, it's like a blanket like this big. So it's just like, I'm sure I like gollum. I'm like, my precious. Yeah. Thank you. Well, if we ever need a minute sweet, you can go to tell us.

Hey, we have a late-comer to the beans. Chris! Chris, do you want to try some beans? Chris was still here in the stream. You're not going to get a rose to tell us. Hey, we have a lake coming to the beans. Chris! Chris, do you want to try some beans? Chris was still here in the stream. You're not going to get a rose to the beans. We're just going to go up. We only really have one of the beans left. I've got some beans.

I turned the heat off. Let me warm them up real fast. I can make some new toast for Chris. Yeah. No, I just got the bacon. Are you putting it back on? Because I turned it off for you before. Oh, sorry.

I didn't know that it was like an open bean call. Uh, we're out of plastic cutlery. Let me get some. Oh, thank you. I got it. I think you just need some hands. I just got it. Are you done with this pot? Eat it off a notch.

I'm heating up. I'm done. I gotta reheat my beans. Multiple beans. He says, came by and we're like, you gotta go get some beans, man. Those are some good beans. I mean, you missed it out on some of the best beans, I think, because Andrew doesn't have any of his Latin American songs.

Andrew's beans were amazing. So that's where they full show. I've got plenty left. I also have plenty left. Luckily for you, Gavin. And me. I lost. Yours are not on the same level.

Let's see, Splabberg. Don't insult yourself. These are the ones I'm gonna. Oh, it's an insult. Don't do that to yourself. I had some to pass. No, no, no. It's not so linear.

Right. You got beans going? You're welcome. Sports and swings and you have cups. Thank you. Do you want to start with mine while that goes up? Yeah, hers are full. Mine is a dip.

Yeah, that's like a, this is like pure family reunion style like potluck, bean dip. Chips, and then you just dip it in. So it's a three bean dip. There you go. And it's nicely salted now as well. You're welcome. Thank you, Kevin.

Can I just... Yeah, go for it. Mmm. The noise as Chris makes are so perfect. He likes it. Yeah. He approves. Very good. Taste of refreshing.

Right, nice, a nice little summer dip. It's a summer salad. Summer beans, Ellen. I never described beans as refreshing before. True. That's not a common term for them. These are refreshing. Oh, you know, after a nice long marathon, I never described beans as refreshing before. True. That's not a common term for them.

But these are refreshing. Oh, you know, after a nice long marathon, run a couple miles, I like to cool off with a nice refreshing bean salad. Three bean salad. Nice and all yours. You can smell it, yeah. Oh.

Oh, there's like meat in it. Yeah, there's bacon. There's some bacon. Like actual cut up onions and peppers. See that, I could feel that from the smell. I could feel it from the smell. I could feel it. Here, I think there's a kind of wall.

I could see that from the smell. That's my new thing. I could see that from the smell. I need to speed run mine. Yeah, go for it. There you go. Thank you. What are you doing?

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, he's got a Peneenie press now. Honestly? Sometimes you got to make do. I feel like it might be too heavy, OK? Adil is davenous, but you got two. He put one burner on top of the other. It's so much smoke. It's OK, it's OK.

Well, look, that's important for the toasting aspect of it. He's making a George Foreman grill. Good, that's good. Good, good, good. Do you want to? Wow. Those are good, huh? Everything's good.

It's like a mace that you can see. Oh, where's he gone? It's on the... You've flattened it like a pancake. That's toast. Oh, here. Oh, so hot, ooh. Yeah, ooh.

Oh, you know what you should've done? Should've put some like butter on it. Butter, I did it on the first. You need that. It's been a lot of time. That's what I used to. There. I gave him a knife. Wait, Chris, it's not ready. He read the text. Oh, my God.

I hated Gavin and Knife, so he could like... I've got performed some surgery on this, Chris. The fork, the ultimate price. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I hated Gavin and Knife, so he could like, I've got, I've got, performed some surgery on this Chris. The fork, uh, he built him at price. He's just, uh, contaminated it with plastic, plastic, custom genics.

Trust me, you've already got microplastic all inside of you. A little more is not going to do you any bad. All right, then that's, all right, so, are you ready to watch this? Whoops. Almost fell, I'm just going to warm this up a little. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not gonna lie. Oh, oh shit, oh shit. That's gonna smell like absolute ass. I also somehow don't think that you hovering a plastic spoon

with beans in it over the burner is really heating them up. Doing a lot of double, double, double, toil and trouble over here. Yeah. Okay, perfect. Chris, his your beans on toast. Thank you. With a plastic removed.

Enjoy. That's done. I just like on the beans. How's that for? Well, the toast is toasty. How are the beans? Are they nice and cold? The beans are cold.

Night, cold and sweet. Yeah, cold and sweet. Just kind of like, those are they nice and cold? The beans are cold. Ah! Night, cold and sweet. Yeah, cold and sweet. Just kind of like, those are canned beans, huh? For my... You should not put the tomato in there. Tomato. The toast is really... The bread?

A lot of weight. That's a good way to make toast, yeah. That's good. I might have to look up what that bread is. Oh! I eat for myself. Free beating. I want this toast with Gus Beans. You get tortillas with my beans.

You don't get tortillas with my toast. Oh, well, I didn't know tortillas were enough. They're not here right now, but normally, yes. Is it off? No. Oh, those beans are now part of that fucking hot plate now. Is that hot plate off? Yeah.

OK. Doesn't it look like it's off? Yeah. It's a little bit easier. You had a knife right there the whole time, Gavin. No, I killed that at the end. Oh, okay. It's true.

Oh, my. It's nature's napkin. Is that? It's so smokey. It's so scour. Isn't visible in Gavin and Gus' camera? Like they're single, how much does that smoke? Yeah, you can see it all in here.

Oh, my. We're gonna have to smoke alarms in here, do we? OK. Thank goodness, we don't want that. Yeah, guys, we are woefully lax in safety protocols, right? Oh, thank god. Thank god. We'd hate for it to go off and inconvenience us.

The kid needs moisture to really get that stuff off. He was already that way. Oh, yeah., thank God. We'd hate for it to go off and be inconvenienced. Well, the kid needs moisture to really get that stuff off. You were talking about the right way. Oh, yeah, here we go. Here's the right. Do you want actual water? What do you, Red Bull? Yeah, just need some sort of moisture to get the hard stuff off.

We didn't rent these, did we? To be honest, OK, cool. Excellent. That'll be Gavin's forever. Yeah. You're gonna see his griddle. So here's what I would do. You're still eating those, huh?

I'm hungry, Gus. I'm hungry, okay? Thank you. So I would have Barbara's being dip and chips as the appetizer to its refreshing, its light, it sets the mood for a good night, it sets the mood for a good night. And then the mood for a good night. Good night.

You know, before I go out, I like to like pre-game with a little beans. A little three beans. That's all that black bean song that's just sticking on those beans. I take Gavin's bread and then eat it with Gus' beans. I'm eating. I want it for the guests. And then eat it with Gus's beans. See, my itinerary would be enjoy a nice like fresh bean salad before I go out. Drink a bunch, totally strike out with the ladies. Come home very sad eat Gavin's bean concoction.

Well, I haven't gotten to Gavin's bean jam. Gus's reaction was all I did. Gus, I don't have... Gus looked like I got maced. Oh! Gavin, your bread, which was top, with Gus' beans, which were amazing. With your bread.

And then Andrew, I guess... Trust I can tell you. I don't know what to tell you. I maybe like use your... Set up some sort of candle to make your smell. Oh, because eating it so good. Oh, right, right, right.

Like a bean candle. Yeah. And we could sell those and make a bunch of money. And then I don't know what we do. We'll want your money. Your East Texas came out there for a second Christmas. And going, can you sell a bean candle in the R.T. store? Yeah.

And then Gavin, your beans are like... Well, they're like this. Yeah. Yeah, like, maybe for me, you know, if we run out or for a call, if everything else, people are still hungry. Burn the image of that can in your memory so you know what not to buy when you go to the store.

And that's Eric. And now a word from our sponsors. Bush is big bean. Oh, fuck. No. But I think you have a lot of potential in bread. That is Chris. Yeah.

You've got a future in bread. And I didn't have a toast to it, so I feel like it's slightly higher compliment. I think so too. Actually, I give you that. Not having not had a toaster, but able to make toast on a couple of hot plates. Yeah.

Did you guys be able to bake in an apat? Oh. It was also very present. But please, do you want a little container to take some with you? Yeah. Here. He's got that one right there.

This one I think would be better for you. Send him home with some dip. Chris, just put that pot on your head and leave out of here. Your Johnny Bean Seed. I think it's great. Look at the beans behind here. You're Johnny Bean seed. I'm gonna get great. You look great. You look like beans behind you.

Here you go, Chris. There you go. A little to-go box. A little bean bento. Thank you. All of you. A big help. For Andrew.

Wow. Thanks for coming in. I guess, yeah. You could ask a Blaine camera how it was. Stayed it. Live by Karslethor. Oh, no. Andrew's beans preceded me entering.

Oh. It was like, oh, you gotta go have the beans. Andrews Beans are so good. Oh, they were talking you up. Oh, man. Oh, those beans that got you in, hey, you mean? Well, no, I would come, Carlos, I heard there's food. Andrews Beans.

I heard all the beans. He did me in here. I think they met, he met, they proceeded him. The reputation of the beans. He handed me the microphone and then just kept going. Oh, no, I think, met he meant they proceeded him the reputation of the hands. He handed me the microphone and then just kept going No, I think I we got the reputation of Andrew's beans preceded interesting. Okay. Thank you Chris I don't know the proper use of that word the beans the being reputation preceded them No, no reputation came before proceed. Yeah, okay

No, like the reputation came before. Precede. Precede. Yeah. Okay. We am saying that the be-anders beans preceded him here. It's like, well, obviously, the beans have been here since before the podcast started. I'm like, it just doesn't make sense. I like how he called the beans refreshing.

Yeah. That was strange. We were, honestly, we could have been cooking anything in here. And Chris would have like flown in here like the smell picked him up by the nostrils. Yeah. Like a cartoon hobo. I was like dragged him in this room. Delicious. I feel pretty good.

I'm happy with how all this turned out. I need some sort of sponge. You got a half a little bread right over there. Well, I don't want to waste all the food. I think that's what I'm most happy about. It's that almost all the beans got eaten. Yeah, that's all that's left of mine. Well, yes.

I was like, it's some sort of sponge, paper towel, maybe. Something to wipe up something wet, perhaps. Almost broke my tailbone the other week. What? I wasn't sure if you were going to bring that up. Yeah, it's not broken. Clearly, I'm sitting down comfortably. This was Sunday.

Last Sunday. Last Sunday. Yeah, not yesterday. I, it was Sunday morning, I was coming downstairs and I always wear socks in my house just because my feet get cold and I'm a baby. You're civilized? Oh, okay.

And I was coming down the stairs and my foot, I guess, caught the edge of one of the stairs and both my feet went, rips, gooped right out from under me. I dropped my cup of water all over the floor. And Trevor, who was sitting on the couch, that's in front of our stairs, he was caught behind the coffee table. And he was kept trying to get up to come help me

and he was like, oh my God! You're still falling. I was still falling as he was trying to get out from behind the coffee table. And I fell so hard, it winded me. So I was like in pain and I was like, oh my God. I'm hurt. I hurt.

And I couldn't tell him exactly what was going on. And he was just like, oh my God, oh my God. He apparently, he told me he's never been more scared in his whole life. And I was like, damn, I hope I don't actually ever hurt my self-real. Oh, you did hurt yourself. It was bad.

I thought it was broken for a couple days and then slowly started getting better. That feeling of getting the winnocked out of you, like, I just, powerful school yard memories. Yeah. Falling off the j- like jungle gym or like, I remember slipping on the monkey bars one time and literally just like,

mid stomach, like hitting on a monkey bar and just being like, like, and just like people like, oh, you okay, and you just all just like, don't touch me, don't worry. I'm sorry. There's hardly anything you could say.

It hits like that muscle. Cause your lungs don't inflate on their own. There's like a muscle that needs to like expand to pull air into your lungs. And if you like jam it, then it's like, you can't, your lungs won't be able to suck air in. So you're just like, you can't catch your breath. And you might need to get winded

if your lungs have more air in them. I don't know. Or is it anything to do with the air in your lungs? Gosh, I don't know. Why not have any effect on it? Yeah, like if you think about it, our lungs, like, we take breathing for granted. Big time. Yeah, so if you have like it our lungs like we take breathing for granted big time Yeah, so if you have like a small hole in your lungs or if that muscle starts fucking up

You can't breathe anymore. There's oxygen all around you. You can't get it to a place where it's usable It's scary and have you guys ever had like any sort of invasive surgery before? What a tonsillectomy when I got my surgery done for my hyperhydrosis What did it tons-electomy? When I got my surgery done for my hyperhydrosis, part of that thing is when they go into your chest, they have to like inflate you so they can get behind your lungs. And something I had to do for my recovery was they gave me this little machine that had three balls in it

and you had to suck in on the tube and have all three balls like lift. And so like it was like easy to hard basically. And sucking in when you are like post surgery is like, oh, I'm done. Oh, it's because muscle's hurt. So I want to make sure that your new normal isn't less than your old normal. Yeah, it's so fun.

Yeah, and like, it sounds horrendous. It was, it was so funny because term is like, all right, it's time for your toy. Like, I was just be like, do you do, do you? Man, I haven't, gosh. I haven't had, I haven't had the winnocked out of me from like getting hit in the stomach in over 15 years.

I don't even know. And that is something I could go the rest of my life with. Like, yeah. Yeah, like you said, it's like school yard memories. I haven't had it happen in forever. I haven't either. I don't want it to happen again. Yeah, it's also scary because like,

especially if you're in pain and you're wind at the same time, you're just like, I have no idea what is happening because I'm so disoriented in all sorts of aspects. Yeah, I feel like I have bad memories of being winded and then you're sort of like trying to get in a little bit severe so you can keep going. I've also, have you ever whacked the side of your knee

so hard that it's like, it just floors you and you can't talk and you just like, ugh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and always on the side, always on like the end of the bed. And I'm sure that there's a bed here

because I am falling into it in pain. Like, ah! I am! What? Just pain. Like, ah! I am! I just dive onto the bed. Ah! I would have switched my friend, Jumpop. Jumpop a hill, and he landed and banged both of his knees. Oh, he got it.

Oh, it's like, it was on the ground. It was on the ground for about 25 minutes, but he was just like inside. It was just like, there's nothing worse than bone on bone. Contact, like, Juni's knocking into each other fucking shit Oh, see the he be Oh Just like just kill kill me. It looked like he wanted to die

Feels like I've been having a lot of dumb injuries lately like a few a few months ago I broke my toe because I was throwing something out and I turned and I guess my foot had hooked onto the table leg That was next to the trash because I was throwing something out and I turned, and I guess my foot had hooked onto the table leg that was next to the trash can. And I'm like, I need to slow the fuck down. I think is what's happening. I'm getting too impatient with life where everything has to, I just like do things

and don't think about where I'm going. And I think that's also as we get older, something that happens where we just get injured more easily. And so I'm like, I just have to like, focus on every movement I'm doing. And I think that's why old people move so slow. Just slow slow. I don't know if you remember. I don't know if you remember a couple of years ago I fractured my foot in a really dumb way

where I was like walking down like four steps and I was texting at the same time and I didn't realize it was one more step and it's like landed wrong. And of course, like, since it was a foot injury I immediately tried to like, like, just stand back up and be like, oh, no big deal. But this is my foot with fractured.

I stood up, then because of the pain, I immediately fell down again. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Injury, podcast. Yeah, stupid.

There's something though. There's something very funny about hitting something, like, or seeing someone hit something while they're falling, like, in Titanic, when the guy falls on the ship, and hits the rudder before it falls down. You know, I always laugh at that moment. It's so horrific, but that moment is legitimately fun.

I remember seeing when I saw that, they had a dream, and I was like, ah, ah, like, like, you hear the, you hear like, yeah, like, it makes a, a little like, a propeller guy. A little like, a propeller. A little like, a propeller. A little like, a propeller. Oh, like it makes a little like a pali guy. And the propeller. And the watch. Oh, so if it wasn't bad enough already.

What, there's like, I had a, like a later Simpson's episode where Homer becomes like a private security. I mean, you know, learns how to do like, you know, put someone to sleep by pinching their neck and he doesn't do it himself. He's like, oh, 20 minutes till dinner, pitches himself any false. And it's his pet on the side of the table.

Before he hits the ground, it's just, oh, wow, so good. Oh, speaking of putting himself out, Andrew, I know you guys have, have you seen Severance? Yes. No. It's really good. I got to watch it.

I'm going to bring it up every single moment. It might be my favorite show of the year, however. I'm slightly worried that they're going to West watch it. I'm going to bring it up every single moment. It might be my favorite show of the year, however. I'm slightly worried that they're going to Westworld it and wreck the world before you've seen enough of it. We'll see. It's definitely the show that gives me the most lost vibes since Lostwason. But in a good way, where you're like,

there's a mystery under all of this. And you're like, there's little bits under all of this, and you're like, there's like little bits of pieces of information come out and tease you. Yeah, for me, it's like lost meats, old aperture science and poor too. Yeah. Yeah. I remember we were talking to you and Meg about it

of like, you guys got to watch the show, and then you both texted us, separately being like, oh my god. Yeah, I was like, yeah, on episode two, it's like, yeah, just finished episode nine. Like the next. Yeah, I think one of you texted us that you were like, oh my god. Yeah, I'm on episode two. It's like, yeah, just finished episode nine. Like the next. Yeah, I think one of you texted us that you were like, I hate you for telling me about the show

because now I can't stop watching it. Well, it's good to watch it. Now, this is the way to do it. I was watching it as it came out. And I hate it. That show has a lot of cliffhangers in the end of episodes and like waiting a week's like mother fucker.

Yeah, it's all out now. Now, like, yeah, there's nine episodes. Now you just gotta wait for the next season. Yeah. That's Apple TV, right? Yeah. I feel like they're coming in like slow and low with some like real hit, like,

they're starting to like get some, some pretty bang and content. It's a lot so. Picture of the year, best picture, Coda. Oh, that's an Apple TV. It's Apple TV. Oh, snap. It's the first streaming service

to win Best Picture Oscar. Hmm. Honestly, it's not completely me. It's Apple TV. What was that? It was the first streaming service to win Best Picture Oscar. Honestly, it's an okay movie. Yeah, it's like, I wait after the Academy Award. I was like, oh, I guess I should watch this. Best Picture, huh? It's like a lifetime movie. It's like, oh, okay, yeah, it's fine. Nothing wrong with it, but it's not like.

I mean, it's still with Green Book, right? It's not like, oh my God, amazing. I was invited to see an early screening of a movie, and it's not out yet, but I'm allowed to talk about it, and I don't know if I should talk about it because I hated it. But I got invited to go see it. Toonin next time.

And so, like, God damn it. I don't know, because, like, if you're invited to go see an early screening, what's the rule on, like, normal, you're not paid. I'm not, I didn't get paid to do it. I you're invited to go see it in early screening, what's the rule on like? Norma, you're not paid. I'm not, I didn't get paid to do it. You're not promoting it. I was just invited to go see it.

Yeah, normally they hope that you're in point. Yeah, they hope that you like it and that you'll talk about it. But. It was the movie men. Oh. It was a black player needs an update. Another update, huh, Adobe? That's that Alex Garland, right? The same guy who did.

X Machina. X Machina. X Machina and, um, what's one of Natalie Portman? A nightly. A nightly. An eye-lion. Yes. So good. Which like those movies, great. So you'd think that this would also be like stellar, awful.

Awful. Mm. Slow and uncomfortable. The recent Bond movies in it. Is like... Daniel Craig? Oh, um. The main. As like... Daniel Craig? Oh, um... Ugh.

The main guy. Yeah. Daniel Craig? No, I'm not Daniel Craig. You said Bond! No, the main guy. In Bond, he's the main guy. He's not the main guy.

He has like a last name that's similar to some other celebrity. We're talking about movies like Mom's talk about movies. He was that one guy. He was a place- What? Tanner in the... Daniel Craig Bond.

It is Rory Kniehr. Oh, he's in our flag meets, our flag means death. He plays, he plays the twins, the one that has a sword go through his eye and then his brother. Very wonderful actor. The acting in that movie was very impressive, but man, that it was just like,

it's a slow burn without the burn, basically. Slow, it's just slow, it's just uncomfortable. And I was like, I don't know if it's just because I'm not like a film buff. Maybe I'll wait for it. Maybe I'll wait for it. Watch it on a plane or something. I mean, enjoy. I just won't go out of my way. I'll tell you guys a spoiler after, but. Ooh. There's a very long disturbing scene that happens.

That goes on for about 20 minutes too long. Okay. Wow, 20 minutes too long. Wow. Yeah. Tell me more. Because it's about 21 minutes this scene. So.

So it's good for a minute. Okay. How have you guys talked about Netflix's stockpies going through the floor? We haven't. I think that just happened like last week after the podcast. I mean, stocks in general are through the floor, but yeah, I think what Netflix puts it their first like subscriber loss, and now everyone's selling it like it's the plague. So what happened? They just, because they raise their prices. Well, they're saying that they have a subscriber loss

because too many people are now sharing their Netflix passwords. So not enough people are paying for it. Yeah. Didn't they used to promote that? Yeah, they did. Yeah, they had a couple of tweet. People were sharing tweets from five years ago that was like, on Valentine's Day,

with something that was like like love is sharing a password or something bullshit like that. I mean, it's nice. It's nice that you don't get bumped to. What was it? Is it Hulu, like one of those? You can only have one instance of Hulu playing at the same time.

Oh, really? I think if you have a higher tier, you can have multiple. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah, it was just, it's, it's, some, I can't remember who was saying this, but it was just, it's, it, some, I can't remember who was saying this, but it was an interesting observation that like, for the most like,

for the most part, Netflix was like trying to spend their way out of a hole. Yeah. Like, they were just like throwing money at like a bunch of different, oh, all the cake shows you could ever want. Just like baking shows after all these things. Like, is it cake? Yeah. Like a date's great in that.

Yeah, I like, there's, uh, well, it was, somebody was like, you know, it was interesting how they, like, through so much time and money, at shows that you weren't designed to love, you were just designed to talk about. Yeah. It's like, these aren't shows that have, you're going to emotionally invest in it all. It's just something for you to talk about at work the next day, like, oh, did you watch this, like, did you watch this? Or, like, love is blind.

It's like, you're like, I just show completely designed to just like talk about it the water cooler, but then like immediately leave your brain the second like the seasons over. And so you're just like, oh, okay, it was like, but I don't know, I just find that mentality so interesting that like. Too hot to handle.

Too hot to, yeah. And the ultimatum, which is a new one, that I checked out a few episodes of, and that show is uncomfortable And the ultimatum, which is a new one, that I checked out a few episodes of, and that show is uncomfortable. The ultimatum? The ultimatum. It's where a bunch of couples come together, and every single couple,

there's an ultimatum between the two, whether it's the woman giving the ultimatum or the man giving the ultimatum of, like, we either are gonna get married or break up. Which should never be a situation, because if you want to be with someone so bad that you're willing to break up with them if they don't propose to you,

I don't think you want to be with that person. Anyways. It, yeah, it's a show's premise that like answers itself. And just like, listen, if you don't marry me tomorrow, then this is through. And it's like, then I guess it's through. Because like, do not like just being with me, like, regardless of if we're married or not?

Well, it just seems like that's like a real foundational, like, couple question that you probably have had, like, many, hopefully, like, many, like, discussions over. Yeah, you settle it before you reach the ultimatum face. Like, you'd hope so. But then, what they do is they, like, essentially put all the couples together and they, like, mix and mingle,

and they're now single when they're on the show. So they spend the next three weeks with the person of their choice and could do anything they want, and then the other person in their couple sees what's happening. And it's just like, it's kind of like temptation island, but a little worse. Worse?

Not as entertaining, I guess. I don't know. It's kind of like temptation island, but a little worse. Worse? Not as entertaining, I guess. It's more uncomfortable. It's just, yeah, I think it's because it's like a bunch of couples intermixed with other couples. And so it's not like a bunch of guys who are in relationships are now on this island with a bunch of single women. It's like the women from this relationship are intermixed with the men from the relationships.

And it's like, oh, I know you, and you're hanging out with my boyfriend. That's weird. I think what you're talking about here, what Andrew's talking about, what you're illustrating, Barbara, with this Netflix approach is fundamentally the opposite approach that Apple TV plus is taking with their content.

Where it's like Apple TV plus does not have a lot of content. It is not like, oh, go here and just get in a data with shit. It's, we have one show on that you will get one episode a week of, then when it's done, there will be a new show. Maybe every now and then, there will be a movie. And also, it's really good. And it's $5 a month instead of $18 bucks or whatever Netflix is up to now.

What is Netflix? And that's interesting because I feel like that's so on-brand for just Apple as a company who is just like totally dictated for the most part everything they put out on their terms. I mean, I'm talking about products too, which is like, this is our design, this is how we make things.

And I'm not dealing with it or go somewhere else. And I'm not defending it because from what I hear, their Apple TV plus pipeline for content is a nightmare. Like it's all development, there's a lot of like, nobody knows who's in charge of what. And like showrunners don't have like a single point of contact to talk to. And there's just like, they've never been

in this business before. And they've put a lot of people in executive positions and middle managementmagic positions who don't necessarily know what they're doing, and they're all trying to make rules and notes on every single thing. Oh, sure. I love, I love.

It brings me so much comfort. I sleep better at night knowing that no matter where you go, if you go to Apple one of the biggest companies in the world, nobody knows what the fuck they're doing. Like, everyone's a fraud. Like, everyone's just doing the best they can. Except us, right? Andrew?

Right. We never get it wrong. Hey. I think in a similar way, like, I've had this a lot with, like, I've worked a lot with Google. And I've had to introduce people who work at Google to other people who work at Google. I mean, like, you need to talk to each other

before you talk to me. Because you don't know what each other's doing. I'm like introducing departments. I'm like, you know, I see people in a different company. Yeah, so we work to the same company. It's not even like the right hand not only what the left hand's doing. It's like the fucking index finger,

not only with the ring finger. Like, yeah. Just like, my God, you're in like the same like department. I don't even know how to like make, but I do sleep better and I know it's like, oh man, there's just so much communication breakdown and gridlock and stuff. I would say, gosh, I wish things could, you know,

are probably easier. Things are probably easier. The grass's probably greener on that side of the fence and you're like, oh no, it's just, even if you work for a $2 trillion company, still a nightmare. Still a nightmare, still a lot of red tape, bureaucracy. And no one who knows what they're doing.

And no, really? And I was like, no one knows. I try to make it up. Yeah. But we should probably have 1,700 Slack channels. Oh, god. We should do a competition between all four of us to see who has the most Slack channels.

It's probably not me. I try to leave them. I have some of these. Yeah, as soon as something's over, I try to fucking leave it. Or like, you know, like a project-based Slack channel, or it's like, oh, we're working on this? Like, well, that's up the door.

Leave channel. John, yeah. So, it's probably you, I'm present. It might be. I also, I don't abandon things very quickly either. I'm just like, well, what if we do this again next year? We don't need to make a new Slack channel, because we already have one.

Then you just spend 2023 to it. Yeah, I know. I think I channel because we already have one. Then you just spend 20, 23 to it. Yeah, I know. I think I've got one really old one that I'm just leaving to see how long it will last. And I think it's E3 2015. Oh, God. It's still in that one. It's still in that one. Maybe it was 2016.

When did we start Slack? We were here. So I think 2015 is about right. 2015, maybe 2014, even. Yeah, we moved here 2014. So probably we could use before that? AOL is a messenger. Really? Yeah, I would use my personal aim. Yeah, we would use personal AOL is a messenger accounts to communicate. I guess like we could just

walk to talk to someone usually and now it's like well the worst we had to do was from the main building to the annex. Right. Which, oh man. It's across the parking lot. Yeah, you three, 2015. Oh yeah, you really are still in there. I'm surprised I didn't archive that channel. They bet it not. Oh, it's me and James Williams. No. Hey, you should message it right now.

Message in that channel right now. So. So. Yeah, right. You there? Wait, E3 is not even going to be around anymore, right? Like it's gone. Just right, you up. E3's gone? Yeah. They announced E3 is not even gonna be around anymore, right? Like it's gone. Just right, you are.

E3 is gone? Yeah, they announced that they're not doing it this year and that's it. It's over. Really? Yeah, I just heard stuff. That's amazing. Yeah, so the last E3 would have been in 2019

because they did a virtual one in 2020. Oh wow. They didn't do one in 2021. Yeah, and this is it, 2022. So strange. I've always felt like such a big event because we had so much participation over the year. Yeah, it was for a long time. It was a huge event. I mean, I went, I don't know. I probably went to 10 E3s over the year. 10 15s somewhere around there. Yeah, because I started going to them in 2001, even before Rooster Teeth. Damn. I went to a couple.

Before Rooster Teeth. Did he respond? to a couple. Before Rooster Teeth? Did he respond? I just looked at the last message that I sent to this. It was March 26, 2021. I said, what video games do you think will come out this year? This year's E3 2015. Oh, he said, hey, look, five. Yeah.

Man, that's bullshit. Gus, you should talk about the E3 thing on Anima. Yeah, I meant to. We're doing Anima. The first episode of Anima finally came out. What is the sand for? We haven't said yet. Oh, you haven't.

No. I thought you were going to announce in the first episode. No, with the first episode is recorded before we had the name. The second episode, I then, I tease that I would reveal it in the second episode. But the second, well, you'll hear the second episode. Can you give us one of the words?

I don't think you should. You don't have to, I'm just asking if you should. No, I don't think you should. No. But there was a revelation, I give you guys an episode three. You have to stick around for episode three. What a revelation. There is a revelation.

There is a revelation. A game changer. Indeed. But you subscribed to it where we listen to podcasts. A-N-M-A, and my podcast. It's me and Jeff telling old stories. And Eric was talking about, we've been shooting around ideas to talk about it.

It's all old stories. I figure, Ristri podcasts is very much like, what we're doing now, and was like, what happened to the late 90s in early 2000s. It's like, you love the year 1998, check out Animal. Hell yeah. Mentioned in Austin specifically. Dude, check out Annemar. Hell yeah. I mentioned I named Austin specifically. Dude, yeah, like for sure.

If you want to hear about how Jeff was intimidated by Gus, when he started at the call center, can you believe me? How long was intimidated by Gus? We got a podcast for you. I've spoons killed the moonlight, was playing on the CD player. It's a lot of nostalgia and old stuff. I'll speak of new stuff. We got our pride merch out now in the R2 store, including this adorable trash panda.

Yeah, I'm my shirt. Hey! That's good. That's comedy. The pride stuff this year is really cute. I think my favorite item is the shorts that say 100% eat on the butt. Yeah. I wear them around the house all the time.

That's good. They are so short. No, they're like 70s dad basketball shorts. Hell yeah. They are my favorite. They're great. 100% eat. Oh yeah.

Man, God, it just reminds me of the critic. They always have a running gag on the critic, Jay, whereas like movie themed boxers all the time. My favorite one, he has a pair of boxers, let's say, shaft on the front, and the back says coming soon. Oh. I want to make those now.

So touch them all, critic, you did it. How many seasons were there two seasons of the critic? Yeah. Something like that. It was not on very long at all. No, but it's gold, pure gold. And weirdly two crossover episodes with the Simpsons. He was on, yeah, two episodes, I think.

Yeah. Such a weird time. Yeah, those, but anyway, those, yeah, 100% eat super short shorts. Get them. Go play basketball. Go play basketball on those things. You know what other show I think of when I think of the critic?

Capital Critters. Do you remember Capital Critters? It was like a puppet-based primetime TV show about rats that lived under the US capital. Now they're living in the US capital. I think that didn't last a season. I think that was like six or seven episodes, and they're like, all right, this is not working out. That was a time, man.

I know there's a lot of different shows out right now, but I feel like it's so interesting that there's so much content, there's so many shows out right now. But back in the 90s, I feel like no pitch got rejected. Like, if you could somehow get an idea into the pipeline, you at least got it to pilot.

Or at least like a few, like, because that's insane. I had to get, I had to chip in my windshield a couple of weeks ago, and I had to go to like a windshield repair place. And it was that kind of place where you go, and like, they work on your car out in the parking lot for 45 minutes. And it's done. So I was waiting inside for them to finish the work on my car. It actually only took like 20 minutes. It was super fast. But like there was like a little

CRT TV in the waiting room. And it was playing that... Number of Brett Butler is playing that Brett Butler sitcom that was on ABC like in the late 90s. And I was like, I totally forgot about this. Grace Under Fire. Grace Under Fire. They were playing Grace Under Fire. I was like, I totally forgot about this. Grace Under Fire. Grace Under Fire. They were playing Grace Under Fire. I was like, I haven't thought about Grace Under Fire in 20 years. I looked it up on IMDB.

It was on air for like six seasons. Yeah. Or seven seasons. I was like, how was this show on? Don't even say it stopped us. She had a drug addiction problem. I was like, they had to stop production of the show. I was like, this show was on forever.

And the only reason they stopped is because, shh, she was on paint killers. Like the coat, her co-star wasn't in the last two seasons, because she was like, I'm not doing the show anymore. Like, Brett Butler is too high all the time. Yeah. Too much time. I don't know if I heard that excuse.

About Brett Butler's. That's right. Oh, shit, it's already 6.30. All right, well, go listen to Animal Podcast. Wherever you get podcasts, it's out there, whether you want to or not. And buy your Pride merch. Buy your Pride merch.
