Starting point is 00:00:42 This week brought to you by me, Andes, Ring, and Calm. I'm Gus. I'm Gavin. I'm Burr Burr Burr. I'm Becca. I'm a little freaked out. They put the teleprompter down on my camera. Oh Yeah, it looks weird. I'm not used to seeing that in front of me. I need two mugs. I need I'm gonna have like a stage right now I'm painfully aware that I'm on camera now because I can see it before. It was just like a screen normally. Does having the monitor showing you not throw you off ever? Because that's like, that's not really in my line of view.
Starting point is 00:01:14 They might feel the way I have to turn like this to see it. Yeah. So I don't get to see it. When there's what used to be one over there, it would throw me off. Did you get rid of it because you was sick of looking at it? Eric got rid of it because you was sick of me looking at it. Well, I think it was Eric. Someone got rid of it because you were sick of me looking at it. Well, I think it was Eric.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Someone got rid of it because they were sick of me looking at it. What does me and Gavin have both the chat and our monitor right in front of us? It's right by your camera. This is a little behind the scenes look. We call this BTS for a Roostery Podcast of the inner workings. Oh, BT. BT, are you played Death Stranding?
Starting point is 00:01:41 Yeah, dude. It came to be weird. I've either of you played any Death Stranding. No, but I've seen a lot of clips from it. Did people keep asking me if it's good? And I have no idea what to say. Is it good? It's, it's, it, it, it, it,
Starting point is 00:01:55 because here's what I did the other day. I took a dump, made some grenades from it. It's a deadly cult number two grenades. I'm a two grenades, then did it piss and I got the grenade from that. Number one grenade. And then I took all my shower and I got the grenade from that. Number one. And then I took all my shower and that was a grenade as well. Numbers are grenade.
Starting point is 00:02:08 And then I died through up a bunch and then I took a box of come and I tried to deliver it to a different place. My head was come. It just said it was sperm and shit. Oh, okay. Wow, this game is not at all what I, it is a bizarre game. I think I played it for, I don't think I played it for I did I don't
Starting point is 00:02:26 think I liked the first three or four hours. I was like I'm gonna keep played like I like impressive. I like a Hideo Kojima game. I was like I have faith that this game's gonna get better and the game doesn't ever the game never went to where I expected it to go but it's gotten to a place I'm okay with. It's it's very serene. It's a beautiful game. It's very calm. It's a very great score. If you just like want to walk.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Have you encountered Troy Baker's character yet? Yes. I hear he's very scary. He's got like a gold skull mask. That's awesome. Yeah, and he can like tell a poll around. Yeah. He's a villain, right?
Starting point is 00:03:03 I think. Are we allowed to... I guess we can't. I mean, this point in the story, he's portrayed as the villain, but who knows how to play out? Noted. The villain, the real villain in that game is Rocky Steep Inclined. You have to monitor your shoe health.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Alan, if your shoes get too worn out, you have to change them. Well, I would say the biggest enemy, the biggest enemy in the game is the rain. Yes. Because it makes you old. Anything that gets touched by the rain, ages, like time passes very quickly.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Okay. It's quite time full. I think it was Miles who tweeted out the other day about desk training, how it's a really cool game mechanic, how you could tell when you're on terrain versus like a constructed surface. Oh, like a, yeah. Like there's a haptic, like a crunch to your footstep.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Oh, like, it's just, in the game, it just feels different. Yeah, like when you're running on that versus like a paved road or something. Yeah, it's a lot of like, getting greedy, overloading your guy with too many boxes to the point where it's like twice as high and then stumbling around and somehow he, most of the time, doesn't slip over. He does, and then when you fall,
Starting point is 00:04:06 if you do fall, your baby starts crying. So you have to pick it up and you have to start rocking him. You have to rock the controller to simulate rocking a baby to calm it down. And that's how you do it, right? And the baby's crying comes out of the controller. Yeah, so it's just like, your lap starts crying. Oh, got a shake.
Starting point is 00:04:22 You're realistic. Yeah, it's just so, it's like such a meticulous. Then all of a sudden it starts crying again. You got to stick it up to your nipple while you're trying to fix your breast milk. You got to get the third party attachment. It also asked me for my birthday when I started the game. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:37 What was that about? It asked you for your birthday because it said that dooms affect certain astrological signs more strongly. Mm-hmm. So, I'm a Pisces. that dooms affect certain astrological signs more strongly. So I'm a Pisces. So I'm affected by dooms more strongly than other players with you.
Starting point is 00:04:52 You're a cancer, right? I am. Yeah, both in society. Cancer. Yeah, I think it has tons of satisfying moments. But like when you get through an error that's hard, it's like, it's a relief when you get out the other side of the rain and a little BTs and stuff. But it's not a really good game.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Like have that much of an emotional and I guess toll on you. Yeah, I guess so. I mean, it comes down to what does that defeat the purpose in the end? Like if you come out of it, you're like very empty and exhausted. Like why did I want to diversion? And the first thing. That's what I think about. Like when I'm frustrated, I think I paid for this.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Like, I'm paying, I paid money for this and I'm investing time in this. But that's the thing is I keep, I keep, I stop playing it and I'm usually confused. And then I'll do another stuff and I'll be like, I want to play it again. I can go in. There's one part where we have to get from like one city
Starting point is 00:05:45 to another, but there's like a mountain range in the way, and I couldn't do it. I just couldn't figure out like how to get through the mountains without dying. So I had to put the game down. I was so frustrated. Then like several days later, I was like, okay, I think I can do it now.
Starting point is 00:05:57 I'm gonna try again. I'm gonna do the exact same situation. Trevor's been playing the shit out of that new Star Wars game that just came out. So I'm in touch again. I'm waiting to finish desk driving before I just came out. It's all good. I'm in touch again. I'm waiting to finish Death Stranding before I get to that. It's fucking beautiful.
Starting point is 00:06:08 And the mechanics of it are so interesting. I've just been watching him play it. I've also been watching him watch the Mandalorian just so I could see Baby Yoda. That's the only thing I care about. I'm not a big Star Wars person. Do you watch him play games a lot? Um, yeah. I wouldn't say a lot. It's it's every now and then
Starting point is 00:06:26 usually we're doing some main together. But if there's a game he wants to play, I'm like, I'm just cool just chilling here and watching you play. And just like for 10 like he's streaming. No, no, you throw Twitch bits at him. Although he does like every now and then he'll say something to himself or like about the game. And I think maybe that's just like years of being in a team of 100 and having to fill the void while playing video games. But who knows? I'm entertained by it. It's like watching a movie. Yeah. Kind of. So it's also like a way to spend
Starting point is 00:06:53 time together without having it like with still giving him time to do that. For a compromise. So you're you're digging the Mandalorian, you're digging baby Yoda? I only watch it for baby Yoda. I'm like not paying attention the other time until my eye catches a glimpse of something green and adorable on screen and then I start watching. But, it's not Yoda, right? It's not. You're not going to be like the baby who's the same species as Yoda. I don't think they ever said what species Yoda was.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Yeah. Yeah, I asked that one's in the podcast. Yeah, I don't think I got an answer So it's just baby Yoda. Have you ever seen it? I've seen a little bit. I saw like Brian Posein in the first episode, which was a little weird. Oh, yeah But yeah, we've been incredibly busy the last couple weeks. So I haven't been how much I traveled to see what you're doing Yeah, I was traveling we went to Disney World and Then we went to Dallas this weekend, nothing, especially exciting.
Starting point is 00:07:47 That was a cute post you did on Twitter yesterday, all the day before, you'll find the decade. The decade? Yeah, thank you. That was, actually, I guess technically today, it was at like 12.05 a.m., I stayed up too late looking for the right photos. I was like, oh, hey, this actually kind of riced itself. All right, here we go. Was it really a 10 years to the day?
Starting point is 00:08:04 Not to the day, but Michael and I started dating at the very beginning of 2010. Oh, hey, this actually kind of writes itself. All right, here we go. Was it really a 10 years to the day? Not to the day, but Michael and I started dating at the very beginning of 2010. Oh, wow. And here we are now. I did everything I could to break you guys up, and it just didn't happen. What was it like every time you would visit Becca would end a relationship or like something
Starting point is 00:08:19 would go wrong in her current one? Yep. Every single time? Yeah. And I guess it was just like Gavin would come every six to 12 months. My relationships were on. But I could probably three or four that happened. It was pretty funny. One of them being like ending an engagement. So it was very remarkable. And I know on this one, I gave you warning. I was like, just say no. Yeah, you didn't want to meet him.
Starting point is 00:08:45 I'm gonna come back. Hold on to your people. I think you didn't meet Michael until, I think we were already married. Probably right? Yeah. Was it like a holiday party? Bernie's New Year's party.
Starting point is 00:08:59 It was it Jeff's holiday party on your, I'm wrong. I take a picture with him. Yeah. Yes. Because I do remember, I think this is when I first started working at Rishi Thu, it was like that first New Year's. And I remember you were coming with Michael, I knew Gavin was going to be there. And I remember thinking, uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:09:14 It's not going to end well. This is not good. I was like, I can't interact. I have to stay in different rooms the whole time. It might have been the same year. Yeah. That's the year that, no, maybe I'm thinking too long ago? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:27 I remember liking him a lot because he's like the most European American that I've met. He's like really stuck in the stick. He has extremely dry humor, like very English style humor. Yeah. You don't, you have to worry about offending him and he will not worry about offending you. He's great.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Yeah. He's offended everyone because he's so dry that most people don't pick up that he's joking. So they just think he's an asshole, which he is, but he's also joking. Yeah. But that's the ultimate cover. That's the ultimate camouflage.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Yeah, so many times, like people will just, like we had a solicitor come to our house one time and was trying to like basically kiss Michael's ass to get money and Michael was being sincere but he somehow still came off as like this dry asshole and not interested in whatever you're fucking doing. It turned into this guy being like, you fucking nerd.
Starting point is 00:10:16 I just riled my hand. Yes, crazy. And Michael still gave him money somehow. Yeah. Oh my God. That's the ultimate sarcastic remark. That girl scout never came to your house again. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:10:27 That's a good chance. He never got those cookies. That's a good chance. Then minced shit. Do you guys ever wish that you kind of like not developed a personality trait, but like decided on who, what kind of person you wanted to be earlier on so that you could be that way now. Like Gus, you from like very early on in Rashid's were known
Starting point is 00:10:48 as like not mean, but grumpy or like you took, like put up with no one shit. So now you could say things and do things and it's like totally in your brand. Right, but I'm not as grumpy anymore, that's the thing. But like if you, if you act that way, you're not gonna get shit for it. Right, that's true.
Starting point is 00:11:03 That's true. Part of your personality, right? So gonna get shit for it. Right, that's true. That's true. Part of your personality trait. So like I already claimed that. Yeah. I mean, I totally did that when I moved countries. I guess you reinvented yourself. I just added a few traits. I was known for just being very quiet.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Yeah, you were changed. Shia and quiet. You were also just, you were young. Yeah, and then when I moved to, I was like, I guess no one knows that I'm like the shy quiet one. I could just not be. You're in America, you're in a live, you're the shy quiet one.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Yeah, you can be pretty quiet still sometimes. Like right now. What about you, is there something you had in mind? I don't like, I guess it's more difficult for like, women to say things that are mean or come off as bitchy because then we just get labeled as bitches to put it simply. But I look at people like Gus, you and Michael
Starting point is 00:11:55 who could say these terrible mean things, but people think it's funny. Just because that is just just not a trait. Like a level asshole. Like that's what you're kind of con and I can't want it Michael to yell at him. I'm like, why is no one else? He be yelling them Come on, man. You gotta be unafraid to unleash your Interbitious I mean that worked 2020 new Barbara do it that works when everyone's in on it
Starting point is 00:12:17 But I've been in situations with Michael where like most people know Michael But what like one person doesn't and I'm like what is wrong with this guy? Guys really angry Yeah, that's true. I don't know. What about you back? I feel like I've established at least like within my family, a reputation of being like bitchy, to where when I'm not being bitchy, they take it wrong. I still think I'm being bitchy. I do like something's out. Yeah. You're hiding something from us. Where I'm like, no, it was sincere. I'm sorry. No, I do like your hair. Yeah. You're fucking dirty. Now, was your hair supposed to be that crazy? Oh, bless your heart. That's a look. I do wish, though, is that I'd had a better like sense of like how to do my hair and makeup and not pluck out all of my eyebrows for an earlier age.
Starting point is 00:13:04 I look at pictures from, we act just like, there was like this trend going right now, like you at the beginning of the decade versus you at the end, which is your Michael Post, but just like seeing so many people do things like that, like over pluck their eyebrows, where I did the fucking like raccoon eyeliner thing up until I was probably 17 or 18.
Starting point is 00:13:24 But was it in then? Was it just like a thing of the time? I mean, it was. I feel like tons of people had them. I just never really wore makeup. I didn't know how. So I didn't exactly make mistakes, but I look back and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:13:37 I could have looked a lot better. Especially you and I who have like fair hair. Like we have no eyebrows or eyelashes, so at least I don't, so I gotta fill them in all the time. My eyelashes are so blonde. Same. So it's knowing to do something,
Starting point is 00:13:53 makes you look a whole lot different. Oh yeah. It's weird that you're talking about that trend that's going around right now, where people are posting, like yourself in 2010 and yourself in the new decade. I didn't do it just because it's like, I already feel there's so much video of me out there anyway,
Starting point is 00:14:07 as it is. You also look the exact same. I'd look way shittier now, but you can watch me slowly age and die. Like if you have an afternoon, you can put together a YouTube playlist and watch me slowly to come more decrepit. Could someone make that please?
Starting point is 00:14:23 Just gust through the years. Gust dying in slow motion. Or ghost dying, sped up. Just get 10 videos, one from each year, from 2010 to current. So it may be wonder, like I was trying to think back, like, because I couldn't remember exactly
Starting point is 00:14:35 when we started the weekly video podcast, like doing the podcast live. I had to look it up. It was, was it? It was, end of 2011 or early 2012. It was September. It was September of 2012. 2012, good.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Or maybe it was October. End of September. I remember, because I think I was on one of the first ones on the set. What episode number was it? It was 185. That's like in the 170s. That's funny, because I thought it was 175.
Starting point is 00:15:02 And I looked and was like, oh no, it was 185. What do we have now like 56? 5.71 Jesus, I remember being weird when we do the first Because you'd already done video ones back in the day We did a couple of pre-taping Yeah, and then and then just like had the set made and all that stuff and I remember it being like a huge deal Like there were people like like oh, you know good show guys
Starting point is 00:15:24 You have a great one. There were people like, oh, you know, good show guys. You have a great one. I was like, we do this every week. Just, they're not filmed. Like it doesn't really, it shouldn't feel like, it's different. Let's have your pressure when you're filmed. Well, it's different when you're live though.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Yeah, that too. Cause you can't just sit like this. Or you can. Yeah, doing audio only podcast versus video podcast is a completely different vibe. And I think that's why a lot of people tend to prefer one or the other. Yeah. Cause like with this kind of podcast, you're very aware of the cameras on you and the fact that
Starting point is 00:15:48 people are currently watching it. Whereas if you're just audio podcast, you can just like, yeah. I mean, the live thing I think changes it much more than the video thing to me. I think it's a video component. Just like, I have to sit up straight and face the camera. We're going to have terrible presence. I don't have a monitor. Look at the camera. We had, we used to only do them on special occasions initially, because it was like, all me who had to wrangle and edit all that footage on my stupid shitty slow computer.
Starting point is 00:16:17 It took like three days to turn it around. I was like, I'm not fucking doing this every week. Why didn't just make Bren do it? Because he wasn't working in broadcast stuff at that time. It's in live action. Yeah. They're like podcast was only me at that time. It sucked.
Starting point is 00:16:34 It really sucked. And now it's all of us. Now it's just kidding. It's them. It's all of the huge group of people. It's more talented, capable people. Is this the first one since the extra life? Yes.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Yeah, we were off. We had a pre-tape last week because of Extra Life recovery and now we're back. So we can finish our about it. Gavin, you're alive. I'm alive. Oh, after my pulverizing with people. Dude, oh my god.
Starting point is 00:16:57 That was unbelievable. How many wheel spin things did you guys get? Like over a hundred? I think it was over a hundred again. Geez. Awesome. But those things, it's again. She's awesome, but those things It's weird. It's like between the softest moon ball that hits and the fastest ones that we're hitting is like such a huge spectrum Like you never knew which one you were gonna get like some of them are rattling the wood behind my head
Starting point is 00:17:16 So yeah, and I think the Is either the first the second one that hit me in the testicles was really hard I think the second one that hit me in the balls it kind of came at the side and it hurt for like an hour and a Fuck at least you didn't get slapped by Xavier Woods. That's true. That looked way worse Those were the weirdest slaps I've ever said they just looked wait I mean yeah, I was watching a few of them from over there. It was like rocking people's faces like deaf So clean I couldn't figure out because there was an option to do that or just get hit by a paintball.
Starting point is 00:17:47 And no, none of those fucking men, their penises are all big, apparently, because they're all just like, offering to get slapped instead of just taking a fucking paintball. And the whole time, I'm like, you see what it's doing to each other. Stop it!
Starting point is 00:18:00 What is this madness? The ham prints and the bleeding. They're all pretty. Okay, take the fucking paintballs. What is this madness? The ham prints and the bleeding. They're all pretty. Okay. Take the fucking peepals. Yeah. That's good advice. That's good life advice.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Take the pain ball. Take the pain ball. The pain ball's hurt a lot there. They do. And they leave a annoying ring. Yeah, but it's a much smaller one. They also have like pads and stuff for your neck and chest and bits.
Starting point is 00:18:24 So like that you had protection. This was just like skin on skin. I was wearing like a full, cause I didn't wanna get hit in the heart with a really fast one, so I had the pattern and my little nut thing cause I can't take nut hits cause of my dodgy ballac. And it's still a ton.
Starting point is 00:18:38 You alright? Your dodgy ballac. Could you hand me a band? I got shot in the balls once by accident with a paintball. I was with a gun. I remember on the bounce stuff before. It bounced.
Starting point is 00:18:49 I was like standing on a paintball field and I tried to determine whether I was gonna go home or keep playing and I could see in the distance paintball was coming. It bounced on the ground and bounced up just at the right height and he's right in the balls. And I like, I've been told we're like, yeah, I'm just gonna go home.
Starting point is 00:19:02 I love that story. You're gonna go in the game. I saw it coming. I picture like, you know I'm just gonna go home. I love that story. I love that story. I thought I'd come in. I bet you're like, you know, like in the Civil War when they shoot like a cannon and they're just like tears through everything. Like that was my own little Civil War cannon ball.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Bounce and hit me right in the balls. This episode of Receive Podcast is brought to you by me undies.

Starting point is 00:20:15 Thanks, Mandy. It's a sponsoring this episode of the podcast. I don't know if you weren't here last year's actually like either, right guys? No, but you guys were here. Yeah, I came by. That's when Chris dropped Magnolia on her face. All right.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Oh, I did not know about that. What's the secret? What the fuck is that? Wait, let's all have Garden. It's free though. Oh, sure. So it doesn't get detected point. What are the odds?
Starting point is 00:20:39 I didn't drop. Get on the mic, Chris. Get over here. Yes, I was about to clarify. I was going to mention that the fucking paintballs were frozen last year because it was so cold. So people were getting hit by frozen paintballs, which is very dangerous. That's awful. Yeah, that was fine.
Starting point is 00:20:55 I will say, how is an optical illusion? The baby rolled. She crumbled to her face. Why don't we show the clip? I'm sure it's somewhere. I have a gift. I've been sending it a lot. I like texted you the gift the other day. Probably find that. I baby rolled forward under my supervision. I didn't
Starting point is 00:21:15 drop the baby. Were you holding the baby when the role happened? I was structuring the baby. Should you have been supporting the baby? This was a five-month-old baby. Chris did not have the knowledge that they can't sit up on their own. Yeah. What was structuring the baby? So she was sitting and then just went. Yeah, was it Clam? It was Magnolia.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Oh, here it is. And how did it... And she turned out great. So did it to me or sent it to them. Okay. She turned out great, didn't she? Yeah, she's great. All right, see? She's had a few falls. So what you did watching live when that happened?
Starting point is 00:21:53 I was, but live, it happened so quickly and it looked so not bad that I was just like, oh, haha, but then the footage started to float around and it looked so much worse on you. Remind me of what was it two years ago when Michael brought Iris? No, it must have been three years ago. When he brought Iris and was dancing with her. Yeah, I think it was two. Well, isn't she three and a half now? Two or three years ago.
Starting point is 00:22:23 One or the two, doesn't matter. But he was dancing with her and like all the dads were watching just like having a meltdown and they're just like, oh God, the bean bags, the bean bags. Chris, you were not structuring this baby. Was that, well, yeah, and that was my problem. As I wasn't, I was supposed to be structuring the baby. I think you structure a baby. I keep saying it, hoping that it'll explain a little more.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Well, you like, hold, structure it. You know, you get like, like, you have like a beanie baby. And you want to just like, make it where it like, flumps over. Yeah, yeah. Or it supports itself in some way. I want to see the clip.

Starting point is 00:23:13 Yeah, you should make like a music cue and a graphics package. Like its own special. Yeah. It ends. Next, on the 24th. It's almost done. It's almost done.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Have you been filming? Yeah. Good. I got a lot of pictures. I got pictures of like just about every meal I've eaten. How many different olive gardens have you been to? Shit one. You've only gone to one location. I think so. Yeah. Why many Olive Gardens are in this room? There's only like two in Austin.
Starting point is 00:23:50 I can't think of two in Austin. Yeah. And I don't, one of them's like really far away from me. Have you been with everyone here? No. We still have it gone. I was gonna come with you, but then. You're gonna do it because you're running out of time.

I tried to get the best for party to go to The one you went to this weekend.7 or something like that. I tried to get the basketball party to go to Oh, it's going. The one you went to this weekend. Yeah, but didn't happen.
Starting point is 00:24:49 It's shocking. I wonder if it would be great to have a whole bachelor party go to all of good. That's your, that's that's bonus points, I think. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That would have been fun. You go, do you get a point with for every person who comes with you?
Starting point is 00:25:00 Well, that's like a bonus like thing. It's like whoever's gotten the most like people to go. Gotcha. Yeah. But you're you're definitely on advantage for that because you work with a lot of people. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, but a lot of people who don't want to put up with a shit. So these are the videos. Finally, sorry. So I was like, it looks like her face is stripped of the baby. It puts his hand out and trips the baby. The baby would have caught itself
Starting point is 00:25:30 that your hand not been there. Wait, what? Oh no. Isn't that your hand, Chris? That's your hand. He holds back her other arm so she can't put it in for herself. I didn't mean to, I was looking forward to
Starting point is 00:25:42 structuring the baby. No, to be fair, that was a good effort because he saw a go. I didn't mean to. I was looking forward to structuring the baby. To be fair, that was a good effort because he saw a saw a go. Josh was immediately so concerned. Fuck, I could watch this forever. The waste that really adds. So she wasn't doing cry or anything? Did he even cry? Didn't care. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:26:01 So I think that's the biggest indicator. She was fine. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you made a well-structured baby that can handle... She's very... Drugs. She just faced the...
Starting point is 00:26:13 It sounds like you said that can handle drugs? Drops. She can handle drugs. She can handle drugs. Was Michael there? No. Did he find out about it? Yeah, I was like, oh, God, I should probably tell him because he'll see this floating around. It looks bad, but it wasn't. She's only got a Michael Jones.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Two bruises. Two bruises. Two bruises. Two bruises. Two bruises. Two bruises. Two bruises. Two bruises.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Two bruises. Two bruises. Two bruises. Two bruises. Two bruises. Two bruises. Two bruises. Two bruises. Two bruises. Two bruises. Two bruises. Two bruises. the 24th. Oh, we don't weigh you this. I mean, you can weigh me if you want. So we're doing I don't know where the scale is. We don't have it.
Starting point is 00:26:46 We don't have it at the moment. Here. I could. My limit is 147. I'll pick you up. Stop by next week. Because the 24th is a Sunday. Okay. So stop by on Monday and wait, I have you on here. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Cool. You're on the podcast next week. Good. I must I must have known that it ended at that time or something. Okay, good good. Good. We'll talk about there's apparently a subreddit called children falling over That's amazing, but also probably very sad. I hope no one gets hurt I like the funny ones I did the some of them look like is Okay, not funny by Chris By Chris and Blaine
Starting point is 00:27:24 We'll talk about Watchman soon. So I want to go back for just a bit to something we talked about earlier. So the Mandalorian, like Disney Plus launched, I guess, since the time we did our last live podcast. And Disney Plus, the app on my Apple TV is kind of garbage. I don't know how you all watch it. Got a new Roku. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:50 On the Apple TV, if you hit Fast Forward, it doesn't fast forward. It skips ahead 15 seconds. So you have to like hold it down? No, then you have to press it repeatedly. And then what increment? Is it like framed by frame? 15 seconds every time you hit it.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Well, no, but you're saying you have to press it repeatedly. Can you get you can queue up a bunch of you like that? That that that that that that that that-uh. No, you could do both. Do you have a harmony remote? It's probably I think that's a shitty thing that slides down between my cushions. The one that came with the Apple TV. Yep. It's got a good battery life though. I feel like if I want to fast forward a ton, I just click and fling my just fling the playhead, right? Maybe I'll try that. I hate the damn thing. It sucks. Make more than one button. Yeah, but aside from that,
Starting point is 00:28:48 and aside from the fact that everyone's in an uproar over something that's been going on for a while. Everyone's mad about the Simpsons, old episodes being in 16 by nine now. They've been slowly doing this for a while. Like remember the head that whole Simpsons world website where you watch any Simpsons, which is gone now by the way that Disney Plus exists. It would default to 16 by nine,
Starting point is 00:29:07 but I guess you used to be able to toggle to four three. They just remove the four three toggle. So everything's 16 by nine only, which cuts off jokes. Okay. Oh, does it really? Right. Like sometimes visual gags fall out because they have to punch in. So you mean they'd be off the top of the bottom? Right. So they crop to 16 by nine. They don't stretch. They do it both ways, depending on the scene. Huh.
Starting point is 00:29:29 I don't like that. The other problem, I think the bigger problem is that jokes have been cut for time sometimes. Like I'll be watching it like, oh, there was another joke there that is gone. And I feel like- Cut for time? Right, I don't know why. It's like, I know there's another joke there that just doesn't exist in this version. I need to pull out my old DVDs and do it side by side. And just to prove
Starting point is 00:29:54 I'm not crazy because every time it happens, I feel like a fucking lunatic. I feel like it's what is called the Mandela. Yep. Dancing bears. Yeah. I need to know because I watched what episode did I watch I watched oh the one who are Bart breaks his leg Yeah, and they have the pool your epidermis is showing I was like I know that they cut like three jokes from that episode That's what I see other episodes. It's very specific. No, I know what you're talking about
Starting point is 00:30:18 It feels like there's some of the episodes are edited you googled it because you know people will be talking Well, they have fun, but they just not aged well I thought they cut well, but they just not aged well. Is that what they cut? Well, they did cut some stuff that doesn't aged well. But I saw that disclaimer that they put in front of their older content now too on Disney Plus. It says contains like dated jokes and rights.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Yeah, I think they should, I don't think they should have a cut it. They should just leave it and be like, by the way, this ad in a different time. Yeah. Good luck. Yeah, I mean, that's, that's kind of what they did. Like they, they don't edit it. I'm but some people were complaining that on the Disney plus like in the description They just say like these are old
Starting point is 00:30:53 References, but they don't they don't say that it's bad. They don't outright say that it does it's no longer reflective of values today But they were saying that they should maybe be a little more strong about it. Sorry, I was trying to look up one of the jokes. They also only have, I mean, they have most of the seasons, but there's a lot of seasons missing. I think it's all of them, but they didn't put the Michael Jackson one up. Nope, there's some seasons missing too. They have like, I think one of their whole selling point. One, two, three, I think they're missing out of three or four, and then a couple other
Starting point is 00:31:32 seasons like randomly like 11 and 16 and 17 and then. Well, I'd love to tell you, but I can't fucking log in on their goddamn website. Maybe I could do it. I feel like everything I've watched and it looks really good. Like I always, it does. Especially when you compare it to an apps like Hulu Netflix, HBO, they have different, I guess top quality bit rates. The fucking Apple, and Apple TV, Apple TV is like beyond Blu-ray bit rate.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Or like, it's like, it's almost twice. Like between one and a half and two times. Yeah, it's variable, so it's hard to say. Yeah, it looks damn good. It looks so good. When I read that I texted you, because I know it's like, it's variable, so it's hard to say. Yeah, it looks damn good. It looks so good. When I read that I texted you, because I know it's like, that's a big thing you're always explaining about.
Starting point is 00:32:08 It's my biggest issue with the HBO stuff, because this looks just full of depression. All right, never mind. Yeah, I got it all. All the seasons, I guess just like on the app on the TV, it was showing a few of them missing. I know what you're talking about. When you scroll through, sometimes it looks like three or four
Starting point is 00:32:22 is missing. Yeah, I've seen that. They have some work to do on their interface. That's my only criticism. There's no way to watch, at least on the app, on the phone. If you start watching something and like close it out and then come back to it the next day, there's, it doesn't show up. Like you have to search for the thing again and then it'll pick you back up. There's no like continue watching or like watch list.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Or that's why they have that like TV section of the Apple TV though, where it just puts everything you've been watching in the same place. I guess I was on the phone. On my phone, yeah. I was watching the parent trap. The original? No, the one with Lindsay Lohan. The original was the first thing we put on.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Like I thought I'd overwork and Michael had it on the TV because Klim loves that, like, let's get together, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, showed it the source of that. There was a, a, a beautiful fucked up. It's a little messed up. Like those parents are horrible.
Starting point is 00:33:11 And people just like gloss right over that. The whole situation. They divided identical twins, separate them at birth, and didn't tell one that the other existed. Yeah, that's fucked up. That's fucked up. Very fucked up.
Starting point is 00:33:23 I mean, they're different continents. They're probably never gonna meet. Yeah, but like if you. That's fucked up. Very fucked up. I mean, they're different continents. They were probably never going to meet. Yeah, but like if you had a twin living out there somewhere in the world, wouldn't you want to know that? Then we can kill them and become more powerful. I feel like I should follow up with something else. Disney did say they're going to fix the 16 by 9.
Starting point is 00:33:42 They're going to give the 4-3 toggle option in early 2020. So the people have spoken. So just completely uncrop in the app. No. So how is that going to be a toggle? I assume that they'll give you the choice. Like in Simpsons world which existed before, you could toggle if you wanted to watch in 4369. Was it like they'll probably upload both and then? Prime video does that we can watch in HG or 4K. There's two different entries in their catalog. Oh really? Yeah. I've never got the hang of all the prime video stuff.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Like some stuff you can't get to. You have to like you can't even get to on your phone. You have to go into a desktop computer to get it to appear on your Xbox and shit like that. Oh yeah yeah because they don't want to on your phone. You have to go into a desktop computer to get it to appear on your Xbox and shit like that. You want to talk about that? Yeah, yeah, because they don't want to share the revenue. Oh, is that why? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:31 Wow. Just do it. It's like, yeah, it's annoying. It's so stupid. There was a, speaking of parent trap, there was a video that someone retweeted of this couple getting married, these two men, and right as they're being announced, you may now kiss the groom and they do, they pause for a second, and then that music from Parentrap comes on, where they do that secret handshake
Starting point is 00:34:56 that she does with her butler, and they do that, and then they kiss. It's really cute. And it's just funny that I saw that like the day after I watched Parent Trap. Are they siblings? No, they're getting married, Gus. But they have a secret handshake like they're from the Parent Trap? I never seen the Parent Trap.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Oh. But one of the girls who lives in London, spoiler if you haven't seen the Parent Trap. Like 20 years. The twin that lives in London, she has a butler and they have a secret handshake that they do. And so the other twin had to learn that handshake because they switched places and she goes back to London.
Starting point is 00:35:30 So which one of the married couple was the butler? Which one was Lindsay Lohan? I don't understand why they're doing this handshake. It doesn't mean handshake because it's like, it's this fun thing, music plays, and there's this whole routine. And people who've seen the parent trap know very vividly that handshake in the song
Starting point is 00:35:45 that goes along with it. But why? I don't know. Maybe they both like the parent trap, because maybe they were identical twin separated at birth. See, that's what I was getting at. There's a porn about it somewhere, guarantee.
Starting point is 00:35:57 It's a step brother. Yeah. You see that video on YouTube a couple of weeks ago, like, what it's like to be a step brother in 2019? Yeah. No, so good. It's like this girl who's dressed like in her like silky PJs and he's just trying to play video games
Starting point is 00:36:11 and she keeps bothering him. She's like step brother. Step brother and he'd help with my homework and like she'll come over and he's like, God damn it, like I'm in the middle of a fucking game. Leave me alone. He's like, where are you wearing that? Yeah.

Thanks, Ring, for sponsoring this episode of the Ristete podcast. So I guess Valve just announced a new Half-Life game, by the way. By what?
Starting point is 00:37:38 Huh? They're announced Half-Life Alex of VR game. Oh wait, they're going to unveil it this Thursday. Like a full game? Not just like a tech demo? We're excited to unveil Half-Life Alex, our flagship VR game, this Thursday at 10 a.m. Pacific time.
Starting point is 00:37:54 And so soon after the index. Yep. Why didn't they launch the index with that? Or like delay the index? Or maybe this game's not gonna be out soon. They're just gonna unveil it. Maybe it's still in development. It'll be another five years before it comes out.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Interesting. I play the dicks of that. Yeah, I've, I would do. It'll be interesting, but I feel like we've talked about this before. There's no winning. You can't, this game cannot live up to any level of expectation. Everyone's't, this game cannot live up to any level of expectation.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Everyone's gonna hate this game. Regardless, they could release the best game in the world. Oh, I'm digging a hole for myself. This could be in a compilation later. They could do, they could make the best game in the world. And nobody would still like it because it's been so long. Like everyone's built up in their mind that of what Half-Life should be.
Starting point is 00:38:43 I just love the fact that if they did make the game, it would trounce all news for like the entire year. Like if E3 was on and at the same time Valve were just like, we're making half life three. No one would give a shit about anything Microsoft or Sony would do it. Because that would be the biggest news. That would be the trending news. And they have that power and they won't ever use it. You know, it's been a long fucking time, hasn't it? 2007? 2007, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Episodium. Jesus. Okay, I guess this Thursday, when they're unveiling the game, is the 21st anniversary of their original Half-Life. And they've actually played Half-Life one. Really? It was good game. They was like the first game I ever played on my computer in college.
Starting point is 00:39:28 Half-Life? Yeah. I have a memory of like being in my dorm room playing it. Did you play Half-Life 2? Mm-hmm. Did you? Yeah. I haven't played any of the Half-Life games. It was really good.
Starting point is 00:39:40 You should get caught up before Alex comes out. I should. Yeah, apparently. Did you ever play portal? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Actually, it's funny. I played portal two before I played the first portal because there was co-op. And I think it was Miles and I, this and before I moved to Austin, we played the whole
Starting point is 00:39:56 portal two co-op together online. And then I was like, I fucking love this game. There's more. There's the first portal. So I went and played that by myself. And now I'm like, now I just want more. I feel like the song, how was that? I feel like that would be a step backwards.
Starting point is 00:40:07 I feel like portal was a great game, but portal two was so much more. Yeah, I definitely, I think I enjoyed portal two more, but I mean, it's the same mechanics and it's like puzzles and strategy and stuff like that, which is such a good story. It's great. Portal two is one of my favorite games.
Starting point is 00:40:22 The only thing better about Portal one and two is the song at the end. Yeah, Yeah. Which when I got there I was like you get it. You're part of the club. Yeah. It's always nice to need to play games way after the fact most people do. God I remember I even played Portal 2 since it came out but that's one of those games where I remember playing and being so mad and frustrated then you figure out the puzzle like oh I'm just really stupid. Yeah. I've just been done for like, you see. First thing, you just have to walk away,
Starting point is 00:40:48 get out of your rut. He's like, oh, Jesus Christ, I'm so dumb. Yeah, you definitely get too close to it. You get stuck on one path, it's like, oh, I'm just doing it wrong. I felt like that about limbo too. Oh, yeah. I never got that achievement to,
Starting point is 00:41:03 was it five deaths or less for the whole yeah, I think it was five Yeah, I've never done that. Have you tried no? God no, I'm not I think Bernie did it. I think you did That stresses me out so bad. I hate achievements like that because you spend so much time and you've got like four deaths And you're so close and then you die and it's just time wasted. Oh, yeah Can't do it. I can't it's just time wasted. Oh yeah. And then you gotta start over. You can't do it. I can't. It's like death stranding. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:29 It blows my mind when you get these speed runners doing like big single segment runs for pretty long games like a game that might take six hours. I think there was one, there was one guy who was on world record pace for Donkey Kong 64, like six hours into the run. And in the fine, basically the last thing you do in the game is just punch, King Kerala in the face. And instead of hitting punch, he did a backflip, which, which caused him to miss that round of damage. And he lost his whole thing. And literally the last thing he did in the game. And the last, that's a start again is like, that was six hours
Starting point is 00:42:04 of the whole game, 100% run. That kind of thing makes me like nauseous thinking about. I remember the guy's name, but it's like, was it probably more famous for that than he would have been for having the fastest time? Maybe, maybe. And that game is no joke, there's a lot to do in that
Starting point is 00:42:19 Donkey Kong game. That's like, I mean, there's so much, I wanna say that's like a whole day wasted, but it's way more than that. Because you spent so long preparing and learning how to do it and getting ready and then. That's like when you're building like a domino's whole set and like someone knocks it over as you're in the middle of setting it up and then you gotta start over again. That kind of stuff makes me cringe so bad.
Starting point is 00:42:43 That's the worst cringe for me. Yeah. I'm just like, I've sick to my stomach thinking how much time was wasted. Like a sand castle. Look at this cake, dude. Oh, I hate it. I hate it. So.
Starting point is 00:42:55 I never, I guess I didn't go to the beach very often, but I never really got into. You? No. I never really got into, I never understood, I guess, like building sandcastles or something, just seems like, why not? It seems so frivolous, so pointless. It's gonna be destroyed anyway.
Starting point is 00:43:07 I was playing with my oldest child, yes. So a building lego. But that's, I don't know, that's different. It's the smoothness. With lego, you're like, at home. Like, with sand, you're, I'll sandy and gross. Yeah, but you give the little bucket a pat and it comes off with smirthing,
Starting point is 00:43:21 you're like, that was the best, whatever it does. Is there any better feeling than, like, being in your bathing suit as a kid, like nice and dry like lying in the sand? That's the best. Fucking warms everything. Like as the sand's hot. Yeah, just like that relaxing feeling
Starting point is 00:43:34 of just being in the sand. You didn't like that as a kid? No, dirty. Well, plus also, I don't know if you ever went to the Texas beaches, like growing up, they're still fucking gross. Like as you can't lie in the sand. It's like, oh, here's the seaweed bed with some dead fish pillows. I thought, when I was a kid and I would go to the Texas beaches,
Starting point is 00:43:53 I assumed every beach in the world had tar on it. I assumed that you just went to the beach and you picked up clumps of tar and cleared a space to like sit down in. All right, I guess I'm not referring to these kinds of beaches. I guess more so like coastal beaches. We're the coast. You mean like real ocean?
Starting point is 00:44:12 East coast, like Gulfs, LA, or Australia. Like any of those beautiful beaches. Clear water. Yeah. What was the furthest north you ever went in Canada? Ottawa? Yeah, I've only really been to like a handful of cities in Canada. It's Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto. I've actually never been to Vancouver or anywhere on the West. Really? Yeah. I've only been in cities in and around Quebec and Ontario basically. I think I've been further north in Canada than you. Probably, because I've never been to anywhere
Starting point is 00:44:45 like in Calgary or anything like that. I've been to Edmonton. Yeah. Which is fucking up there. It's cold. So have you been to more places in the US than Canada? 100%. I'm the same way with England now.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Yeah. I've been there a lot more places in the US to be fair. I think there's more options in terms of like, well, weather-wise, definitely. Like you go anywhere in the US and it's so fairly comfortable most of the year. But also just like stuff to do in population. In Canada, like the 90% of the population
Starting point is 00:45:15 lives within 100 miles of the border. So like if you're not somewhere there, there's not a lot of people to see or things to do. Is that just because it sucks and it's cold? It's just cold. Nice omission there. It's fucking cold. So most people stay further down.
Starting point is 00:45:32 By the heat. Yeah, we're using the Americans to warm us. The warmth from the United States. Our fossil fuels exactly. Do you see the, it's being a fossil fuels, Ford unveiled their electric car? No. Mustang? They're calling it a must, well, they, it's being a fossil fuels Ford unveiled their electric car? No. Mustang? It's, they, they're calling it a must, well, they say it's Mustang inspired.
Starting point is 00:45:49 They called it the Mach E. Oh. They put like a Mustang badge on the front of it. Okay. Weird. But it looks a lot, I mean, more power to them. It, it works, it works, it works. It looks, it looks a lot like a Tesla model Y. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:04 That's what I saw that mean today. It's like, could a lot like a Tesla model. Why? I saw that mean today. Can I copy your homework? Yeah, just change it up a little bit. I love that one. Yeah, it's a, but I mean, it seems like a cool car. Press the price. Press point. Have they really sat in for yet? Yes. There's a bunch of different trim levels. So depending on, I'm going to load it here. So depending on what you want, it can go. It's a big range. Where is it? Okay, the lowest trim level, which is the Mach E select starts at, let's say, $44,000. The highest trim level, which is the Mach E GT,
Starting point is 00:46:34 is $60,000. Okay. But Ford still qualifies for the $7,500 tax incentive for electric vehicles, because they haven't reached that threshold yet. Nice. So it's about on part of the Model 3. Yeah, and I think they said it's going to start shipping in limited numbers at the end of 2020.
Starting point is 00:46:51 Oh. So I'm excited to see more electric vehicles. Yeah. Out on the road. Yeah. I snuck up on Barbara in my car earlier when you were walking in. Oh, I thought that was you. That happened so much.
Starting point is 00:47:04 It's crazy. So quiet. Yeah. I was like, was I walking into the building? you were walking in. Oh my God. I thought that was you. That happened so much. It's crazy. So quiet. Yeah. I was like, was I walking into the building? You were walking in here. Yeah. And then I just like turn around. There's like a car behind the fucking shit.
Starting point is 00:47:14 I should have laid into the horn. Blended that to me earlier today physically in the office. I was talking to you. I was like leaned into the door, talking to Gus in his office. And somehow Blaine got like between me and the door frame Without me noticing so I was just talking to you and then I went like this and his head I don't know how we did that scared myself all over the place today You guys suck. It's Monday. What else are you gonna do? So what are the cars are electric? Will mechanics go?
Starting point is 00:47:42 Will they be whether the less of them or will they just be mechanics who fix electric cars? I mean, just only tires. Electric cars. Can we do much in that? Would they be electricians at that point? Without that being worse. I think they'd still be mechanics. Good one though.
Starting point is 00:47:56 I think right now you don't see a lot of mechanics to work on electric cars because there's so few of them. Essentially, there's one major manufacturer. I guess I mean, me's hot also makes the leaf and there's so few of them. Essentially, there's one major manufacturer. I guess I mean, me, it's not also mixed with the leaf. And there's a few others, but I think I three. Yeah. Does BMW still make that? Yeah. Okay. They have enough this. I haven't updated the aesthetic on that in a while, though, which is weird. But I think as you start to see more and more of them come out, you'll have like independent third party mechanics and repair shops. We'll do that kind of work too. Makes sense. I had to schedule a service on my car the other day because when I would accelerate, if I got to like highway speeds, like say I got to like 60 miles an hour, it sounded like my
Starting point is 00:48:35 windows were down, like you know how you get that air pressure, like the whole whole whole whole whole whole. Even though my windows were up, we had. Yeah, and it went on for two days and then it stopped. So like by the time I got service, it was like the issue was gone and the guy's like, yeah, I've never heard of that. And I was like, I didn't think to take a video. I thought the issue was just going to keep persisting. Like I didn't fix it. He's like, yeah, I don't know what that could be. How often are you supposed to get a new car or not supposed to, but like,
Starting point is 00:49:01 how often is typical for people getting a new car? When your car breaks. I guess, yeah. I had my Prius for eight years. Yeah, okay. I had mine for seven and I would have continued driving it for several more years. I just needed a bigger car. Yeah, the car, I got a car when I first moved to Austin
Starting point is 00:49:20 and I'm still driving it because it's like, it works. It's not tough. It works. If it works, I mean, not having a car payment, it's like, it works. It works. It works. I mean, not having a car payment is fucking awesome. It's awesome. Yeah, I mean, that's money you can spend on just about anything else. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:49:32 So I think if you ever read like the personal finance subreddit, they're always like, if you can, you, if you have a car that you've already paid off, you fucking run that thing until it doesn't, until it doesn't turn on anymore. Exactly. A lot of people need more. It's more expensive to maintain it.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Yeah. Have you seen the new Xbox plan you can do? I think it's okay. We rent them? Yeah, it's like kind of like a phone plan. No. We pay 30 bucks a month. You get an Xbox one X and like 100 games.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Or like... Did they relaunch that program? Are you talking about the one from like last year? Oh, has it been a thing for what? Yeah. I think they're like relaunching it. I heard about it one from like last year. Oh, has it been a thing for one? Yeah, I think they're like relaunching, because I heard about it in the news again. Yeah, I just saw a major analysis tweet too. It was closed for a while.
Starting point is 00:50:10 I know, like months ago. But I think the minimum is like a 24 month contract. And there's no way that would be a financially advantageous purchase for the consumer. Well, it wouldn't offer it otherwise, right? It seems like it's set up to in the end make you spend more money. Well, I think if you play a lot of games, like if you play one game a week, that'll be cheaper,
Starting point is 00:50:34 then buying the Xbox and then subscribing to Game Pass or something maybe. I don't really know, like, how many people use Game Pass compared to buying games? Because I have no idea. I see that it released that information. No, no, they don't really know, like, how many people use Game Pass compared to buying games? Because I have no idea. I see that it released that information. No, no, they don't. I would have thought, because I still buy games just because we need them for work and we just, they do it all get bought on all the machines.
Starting point is 00:50:56 But I can't figure out if I was just a normal game consumer again, would I just subscribe to Game Pass? Probably. Right? I have the details in front of me. So to your point, yeah, they reintroduced it. They're called Xbox All Access. And it starts at 20 bucks a month for 24 months.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Which is for the S? It's 480 bucks. Yes. That it doesn't say. But you have an upgrade option. So you get, oh yeah, Xbox one S all digital, you can choose between the Xbox one X, Xbox one S or Xbox one S all digital edition bundle.
Starting point is 00:51:35 Game pass ultimate, you get an upgrade option to project Scarlet for holiday 2020. Yeah, this seems just like how phone plans work. I guess like if you don't have all the money for a console upfront, it's the way to do it. It's like it'd be a good like a month if you're getting your kid a Christmas gift and you don't necessarily have all the money in December. Or if you're the type of person who likes to have the latest and greatest all the time, it's like leasing a car going back to the earlier the earlier discussion. If you're not going to keep the car for a long period of time and you're going to, you want to upgrade.
Starting point is 00:52:09 I know Jack used to lease cars like very regularly. I don't know if he still does. I think he owns his now, but. I remember when I first moved here, I didn't know anything about cars or houses or anything like that. And he was talking about how he leases his car. I'm like, I don't know what that means.
Starting point is 00:52:24 It's like memory that sticks out. Anyone play Pokemon? No. I'm not a big Pokemon person. I'm playing a, I picked sword. What is it, sword and shield? Sword and shield. If there was a piece of DLC for that game,
Starting point is 00:52:39 where you paid five bucks, and you could just push your rival in the lake at the beginning of the game. So he would stop talking to you every 16 seconds. I would pay the five dollars. This is guy hop. He's so goddamn annoying because usually the rivals, I guess they started making the rivals more friendly. Like you used to be, he's like a scumbag and you want to kill him all the time. You want to beat him. But then I was like, oh, it's like friendly rivals, but he's just always around. I feel like I played for four hours and he's still like right next to me the whole game.
Starting point is 00:53:06 Better or worse than Navi. Then what? The Navi? Navi. From Zelda. Hey, listen. Didn't play it. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:53:18 What? What? You didn't. You just blew up and planted you there. You didn't, you didn't play it. Which, which one is that? Occurring of time. No, I didn't. You just blew our plan. You did. You didn't play. Which which one is that? Occurring of time. No, I didn't play that one.
Starting point is 00:53:29 I didn't know that. I feel like I learned something right now. I don't know you anymore. The only two Zelda games have played were Link to the Past and Breath of the Love. Oh, this is the best too. Link to the Past is my favorite. It's not going to head of our souls here.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Link to the Past is so good. Yeah, I didn't play any of the and Nintendo 64 ones. Wow, that was my first game I ever played. Like you were saying how you remember half-life, like, awkward enough time was my game. That was the first game I ever played. I might be showing my age here was pong. Maybe I'm showing my age a little bit. No, I'm pretty sure mine was the same. We had an Atari set up in my parents' room when I was a kid. Yeah, I mean, it's probably a lot of people's.
Starting point is 00:54:12 And Cuber. I ate, so I got Cuber for free. When I was a kid, there was Donkey Kong cereal. And if you ate enough Donkey Kong cereal, you could send in the UPC codes and you get a free copy of Cuebird. I ate so much goddamn Donkey Kong cereal that they sent me a free copy of Cuebird. Wow. That's on brand gusts right there. This episode of Receive Podcast is brought to you by Kong.

Starting point is 00:56:13 Not a cool nerd. Not a cool nerd. It's much safer space to be a space to be a nerd these days. Oh yes. I think it's. Thanks to the internet. I think it's cool to like what you want to like. And if that makes you a nerd, then fucking own it.
Starting point is 00:56:27 My dude. Unless it's petapelia. It's never cool to like that. If you want to like something that is safe and doesn't harm others, go go for it. It doesn't affect other people's lives in a negative way. I'm the chat's going ballistic that I've never played the game. So around when I had an N64 was when, I guess I was first given pocket money.
Starting point is 00:56:47 So I actually had to save up for shit and I just couldn't afford it. I got Donco 64 instead. You didn't have a front you had it? No. You didn't have friends? No, I actually never afford it. I owned an Nintendo 64.
Starting point is 00:56:58 I didn't have one. I had a Genesis. I went that route. But they like re-release the Genesis classic. Yeah. Recently. And I was like, all right, let me look at the games that are on this. See if there's anything I'm nostalgic for.
Starting point is 00:57:08 And it made me realize I played the worst crap on my Genesis. I played like Aladdin. Like weird movie marketing games. I bought my own dumb money. Right, though. I did love the game. Which was the bomb. That music.
Starting point is 00:57:24 Pretty good. Like I just remember the game. Which was the bomb. That music. Pretty good. I just remember the sword being perfectly rounded. This is just wife. Yeah. Yeah, I just like, none of those games, I think I played like one of the games that came loaded on that Genesis classic. So long ago.
Starting point is 00:57:38 I know. I don't think I knew anybody in the town I grew up in who had a Genesis. I know there was one kid who had a master system when the NES was out, but when the Super Nintendo came out, I think everyone in you had Super Nintendo and nobody got a genesis. It was a small town, so that wasn't one of the guys.
Starting point is 00:57:54 I was like, what's happened? I was like, what's happened? I went to play a PlayStation and said, my brother stuck with Nintendo, but it was in his room, so I never really got to play. We played a lot of the stuff. Sega's in Nintendo's and then Xbox's. We didn't get I don't think we got a PlayStation until like way later.
Starting point is 00:58:09 Yeah, I did everything else first. I saved up when I moved to Austin. I saved up and bought a PlayStation. I remember I went to the target down off of like 35 like William Canyon way down south. So I lived off a river side. Do you guys have the dreamcast? No. So funny story about the dreamcast.
Starting point is 00:58:27 I my freshman year of college was dating a guy and he really yeah, that's the cool story. I'm cool. Had a boyfriend. So he really wanted a dreamcast and he would borrow his friends and play it and it was like I think it was not the first system that could hook up to the internet. It had an ethernet. You could, you had a modem or a friend. He borrowed the whole dream cast. Yeah, like he was a nice friend. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:58:52 And like he would have the only kid like bring him in and we'd play in whatever. And so Christmas came around and I had no idea what to buy him. And I was like, you know what, fuck it. I'm just gonna buy him a dream cast. I'm gonna go for it. Jesus. I know. That's a nice person. So I gave it to him and he was like blown away and
Starting point is 00:59:09 Then he fucking broke up with me. Like how soon after? Um And I even know you yet a monthly And so I was like he called me he broke with me on the phone, too And so I I was, wow, okay, you're gonna have to give me that dream cast back. And so I showed up at his door and took it. I wasn't there. Help!
Starting point is 00:59:35 Yes. His mom answered the door. I was like, hey, I'm Becca. I'm here to get something from his room. And so I got it. I should have said it. She's let me ride in. I walked out with a drink.
Starting point is 00:59:45 Did you have to lie if they were still together? Nope. I mean, she knew me. Mr. Beck, I had to change her name. She's been on the run for 20 years. Yeah. What if he had hidden it? I don't know, because I mean, he,
Starting point is 00:59:59 I think he was scared of me. I think he knew that I wouldn't have stopped and I wouldn't have made it like- I almost wouldn't have stopped to like get a stream crossback like- I was gonna stop to like a stream crossback. What is that like time period? If you're dating someone and you get them something, like how long do you still have to date them before you feel like you're entitled to them?
Starting point is 01:00:14 One day per dollar. Oh wow. So it's like a $300 gift. It's like almost like fucking full year. Yeah. Yikes. No. I don't know what it's No. I got you this car. You can't die now.
Starting point is 01:00:32 Legally, you have to stay alive. We're gonna forever bitch. I can't. I feel like I've never replicated the feeling of happiness from breaking up with someone. Nope. Then saving up for the new console. Yeah. I just used to, every time a new console come out, you'd be like, oh, you got a pick, you know, Sony, one, and tender. Yeah, I got it. Or that it was like Xbox and that.
Starting point is 01:00:55 I was like, and then you get it. It's like, this is everything I've been working for my entire life up to this point. Now I can play Halo. It's just, it's just, I don't really, I remember when you had a bit of experience, even now I'm excited to put in new consoles. up to this point. Now I can play Halo. It's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just,
Starting point is 01:01:08 it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's
Starting point is 01:01:19 just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just and it was a huge pain in the ass. I had to go to like so many stores to find places where you could put it. And then I remember being pissed because you couldn't just pre-order the console, you had to pre-order the console and like a game bundle. It's like you had to pre-order like three games. It's like I don't have that kind of money. Yeah, I remember that, I feel like every Microsoft console, like the 360, they had hardly any,
Starting point is 01:01:40 I had to wait like four months to get one. And the original Xbox, they like, they did this weird price cut, where they were announcing a price cut, but if you got a bundle before the price cut, you actually still, I would like to do all the math. I was like, if I get it now, I can, I get another controller and two games, but if I get after, and I remember being like, right, all the math, I was like, I got to get it now before the price cut.
Starting point is 01:02:02 I think about that a lot. I mean, I think it, you get jaded as you get older. It's, that's inevitable. Definitely an age thing, yeah. But there's also this, like, for me when I was a kid, I was delayed, I denied so many, like, just like creature comforts from living in a small town. Like, I wanted a CD of a cool band
Starting point is 01:02:22 and I couldn't fight, like, if I found that in a record store in like the big city at the mall when we went on a trip, I was like, holy shit. Oh, but cool. I couldn't wait to get home, like open it, read all the liner notes and let's do it. Start to end. Kids will never open a CD and read liner notes
Starting point is 01:02:38 ever again. Like that is not. And like I'll ask my kid what her first album is. She's like, I don't know. I've been streaming music since I was born. I remember, I had the same feeling. I remember specifically the throwing copper album by Live. I bought it at the shitty ass mall in Laredo
Starting point is 01:02:54 and I had to like, the whole bus ride back home. Fucking looking at the book in the scene, you're like, I'm gonna listen to this. Yes. Like I remember going to DC when I was 12 and they had all these like older Green Day albums in this record store and I was like, holy shit. There's like some deep cuts.
Starting point is 01:03:12 Can't wait. Bottom all. Hell yeah. Yeah, pre-earternet world was weird. Very weird. So weird. I was thinking about that recently about like, I don't know why, I was thinking about like,
Starting point is 01:03:24 I guess it's just like this whole okay boomer thing, right? Like I think I was thinking about all the different generations. I guess I guess I never really thought about where Gen X fits in into that. Even though I'm part of Gen X, I've never felt like any attachment to that, because I'm at the tail end of it. But I was thinking about like how I don't identify with Gen X, but I don't really identify with Millennial either. It's like, I mean, like a weird gap between those two. You're called the Orkin Trail generation.
Starting point is 01:03:53 Orkin Trail generation? Yeah. Where are you a real thing? It's just like a casual term for people in the cusp where you were raised with technology, but it was a very different type of technology. Well, I referenced the game. Yeah. Oh, okay. That's very different type of technology. Well, I referenced the game. Yeah. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:04:06 The original course. That's actually organ trail. Because. Yeah, it was, that makes sense. Cause I definitely feel like I straddle both of those. Nice hot. I don't feel any, it's specific attachment to either of them.
Starting point is 01:04:24 But I guess I never really thought, I never really realized that Gen X came right after baby boomers. Nice. Baby boomers are, it's a huge generation. Like now it's like every 12 years or something. Oh, you mean like from the beginning to the end? Like post-war? Yeah, and it's usually, it's not defined by any set time period. It's more like cultural shifts, but yeah, it's like from the war to...
Starting point is 01:04:51 Yeah, I just looked at that boomers are between 44 and 64. Yeah. I saw that yesterday Donald Trump posted a picture, all right, chill out. No, I'm just kidding. I'll say. Triggered? Jeez. a picture, all right, chill out. No, I'm just breathing. Oh, so triggered. Jeez. He posted a picture of him shaking hands with Ronald Reagan.
Starting point is 01:05:10 And I noticed at the bottom of the picture it'd been signed by Nancy and Ronald Reagan. And I remember, I looked at Nancy in it. It's like, the handwriting was terrible. I was like, wow, just she like, have, like an issue writing. And I looked at Reagan signature. It looked like he wrote Reagan Reagan.
Starting point is 01:05:26 But Trump, he posted it yesterday. He tweeted it. Yeah, he posted it yesterday. I was like, does that say rich Reagan's? Did Trump sign it as Nancy? No. Oh, he tweets so much, dude. I don't know, girl, find this.
Starting point is 01:05:38 You can't find it, man. It's going to be love. It's lost in time. Did Reagan have like 10 dementia or anything? Was he all right? Eventually he did. Oh, really? I mean, you guys have signed autographs Did Reagan have like 10 dementia or anything? Was he alright? Eventually he did. How are you? I mean, you guys have signed autographs many times before or TX and whatnot.
Starting point is 01:05:50 Have you ever been talking to someone while signing and then you end up writing what you're saying versus your name? Never with writing my name but I've done that with other things. I do that all the fucking time. If I'm signing something and someone's talking to me and I'm responding to them, I'll start writing what I'm saying. I feel like this is not my name. I typed that.
Starting point is 01:06:07 Yeah. You tweeted that photo of your arm signed like in 2005 or something? Yeah, that's because I can't read instructions and that tweet, I didn't notice it said, so it's a picture of you from the beginning of this decade. I wasn't gonna call it out. What of the last decade?
Starting point is 01:06:22 Instead of 2005. I saw some people asking like, did they sign their names and their character names under it? It's like, that's something that we commonly do to avoid the question of who signature is that. Right. It clears up any confusion or misunderstanding. I do that when I'm signed Ruby stuff.
Starting point is 01:06:39 I put Yang underneath my name. I put my character because people are like, who the fuck is back of Frazier? Did you make it like a bitly link that explains it? And then signed the bitly link. Oh my God. I don't know. Or like one of those was the fucking QR code.
Starting point is 01:06:54 QR code, just like a stamp. That was the QR code. I mean, that was the time where Joel wrote, Joel Heyman Joel, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was, that was Heyman, Joel, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was, that was the first pack, I think.
Starting point is 01:07:08 There reminds me of that time. I so mean, and I hate talking about it, but it makes me laugh at the same time, where it was at Sineagua Comic Con, and at a lot of events were next to the Mega 64. And oftentimes they'll come into our booth and we'll go into their booth, and Sean Chatfield was in our booth at this time, and Joel was at And Sean Chatfield was in our booth at this time. And Joel was at Comic Con, but he wasn't there at the time. And some guy came up to the booth and he's just like, Oh my God, I'm such a huge fan.
Starting point is 01:07:33 I love Red versus Blue. It's my favorite show. Is Joel here? He's my favorite character. And I'm like, Yeah, this is Joel right here. And I pointed to Sean. And Sean's like, Hey, what's up? It's me, Joel Heyman, how's it going? And the kid had it one of those plushie grip both of you guys, I would love it
Starting point is 01:07:49 if you would sign this for me as such a huge fan. And he was like, all right. And he took it and he just wrote like Joel or something like that. And then the kid left all happy. And I was like, that's terrible. That's bad. And then the kid came back like 20 minutes later.
Starting point is 01:08:03 And he was like, you told me that was Joel. I think he looked him up or something like that. But then we got him an actual sign thing. It was rectified, but it's not a very nice thing to do. There's a video somewhere online of someone, we were there, you and I and Joel, and this guy's just making you and Joel say stuff to the camera like, over and I, and Joel, and this guy's just making you and Joel say stuff to the camera
Starting point is 01:08:25 like, oh, over and over. Yeah, that was it. San Diego Comic-Con in 2007. Yep. Holy shit. Yeah. I was probably wearing your hoodie. Yeah, you might have been.
Starting point is 01:08:36 It's like filmed sideways, I think. I'm thinking of that video. And both of you have just the patience of a saint, of saints. You just, he's like, okay, and then you, the Joel would like say, I'm like of that video. And both of you have just the patience of a saint, of saints. He's like, okay, and then the jaw would like say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, and now do this line, she would just do it. Mark, he's like, more, I don't want it.
Starting point is 01:08:53 Like God, how many catchphrases do I have? I was like, racking my brain. At least he was telling you them, because sometimes, no, he wasn't. Oh, no, I asked you to do them. I'm all, oh, what else have I said? Oh. It's crazy how hard is this thing of Lion'sas said when you're in that moment of just like,
Starting point is 01:09:08 I've done a whole season of the show with this character, but I can't think of a single video. The whole video, I'm like, I love it. Here's the, I'm like, wow, yeah, more. You're beautiful. I look so pale and just horrible in that video, because it's just like horrible lighting, and then very high contrast contrast and I was exhausted.
Starting point is 01:09:27 I feel like you used to be more pale. It's because my hair was blacker. I had like pitch black hair. Is it not still pitch black? Now it's just like dark brown. I scaled it back a little. Even I have like the same natural color, right? Yeah, pretty similar.
Starting point is 01:09:41 Dirty blonde. Other mines like pretty gray now. But yeah, like in every comment I've ever seen on that video, it's just like, God, Becca's a vampire. She's pale. You're like, thank you. I won't have skin cancer. Yes. I haven't seen that video in many years.
Starting point is 01:09:57 Have you, did you watch it recently or something? No, like a couple of years ago, I resurfaced on Reddit. Yep. I saw it. What's on the internet? Never goes away. Never goes back every now and then. What's on the internet never goes away. Never goes back every now and always nice when stuff resurfaces that way. Could you like someone found this? I can see this in a while. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:10 This little memory. Blossom will pass. I saw. That's how a couple of movies are the weekend. I never, I never normally see movies, but decided to watch in theaters. A few movies. I watched them at home. Oh. But you know, we have access to like some new releases
Starting point is 01:10:30 that were able to watch at home. Thanks to our dad. Yeah, thanks to a corporate. How do you get on the daddy? What have you, you fill out, you read your work email. You fill out 20 pages of porn. It is, it is, it download four apps.
Starting point is 01:10:42 It is, yeah, they would tell me it's like, you need to do this thing. I feel like, two months, I would do. But then there was like, it download four apps. Oh, yeah, they would tell me it's like, you need to do this thing a lot too much. But of course, it's like, but then there was like the bunch of apps that I have to get. It is a process. It is. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:53 Someone in our office was like, are we protecting the queen or something? Like the level of security we needed just to download this app. Is it because of the content or is it because of other stuff? Like why is this? It's both. Like with that security, you can access access this content but it's also how you access like your benefits and it's not worth it. I mean we are owned by like one
Starting point is 01:11:13 of the biggest companies in the world that needs to protect their information and get a better system. Get one app. One app that works. How about that? That's as secure as it gets. But I watched, so I watched Dr. Sleep, because I'd heard somebody who was saying that, like the Ruby stuff was in the buncher. It was a buncher, you said it apparently.
Starting point is 01:11:36 Yeah, I watched the trailer and I was like, oh, I expected it just to be like a quick thing. It's in there quite a bit. Like almost every time there's a scene in like the girl's room, it's like, oh, you see it's like, oh, there's in there quite a bit. Like almost every time there's a scene in like the girl's room, it's like, oh, you see it's like, oh, there's several posters and there's action figures and like all this other stuff. That was cool to see. It was a good movie. I actually, when I finished it, I thought I kind of wish that they had made maybe like a limited series out of it. Like maybe stretch it out a little bit. The girl who plays the young girl in the film
Starting point is 01:12:06 is actually a Ruby fan. Okay, I'm so curious about the story of how that came to be. And if it was baked into the script from the beginning or it was an idea, it's a very interesting, very subtle. I imagine it was probably baked in half of the fact. Yeah, there was one article floating around about like, there's I guess a weird scene that is hard to explain. It's like it makes a lot more sense if you're familiar with Ruby lore.
Starting point is 01:12:33 Oh, interesting. I do know there's a lot related to the character Emerald for so for people who watch Ruby, she could essentially create illusions with her mind and stuff like that. So I don't know if there's anything to do that. I have a few doctor sleep, so I can't spoil it. But she has like an emerald action figure on her bedside. So I don't know if that's exactly how I was going to say that's the action figures that they had. Yeah. Which you know, it's not Yang. Not, you know, could have chosen a better character, but you know, I'll forgive you this time. But yeah, it was good. I really had, I guess I had
Starting point is 01:13:02 little expectations for that movie. I was like, how good is it really gonna be you know like great reviews a weird sequel to the shiny Yeah, it was like oh, this is I mean you can't really go wrong with Stephen King, right? Like yeah, you can the Langle Lears. Okay, okay Was that a TV movie? It was a TV movie. It's a little different But like do I have even watching the second season of Castle Rock. Like, that's even like, I didn't even know there. No, I didn't even know there. I didn't even know they were doing a second season.
Starting point is 01:13:29 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh through Hula one time and just like, Kalfa Rock season two. And they just like blew this up all of a sudden.
Starting point is 01:13:46 Just dropped it. Yeah, just dropped it on us. I've pizza in my teeth, sorry, I guess. Get dropped. The other movie I watched was The Good Lier. I don't know if you've seen any Tracer. I've got like Ian McKellen and Helen Mirin in it. Okay.
Starting point is 01:14:00 It's like, I watched the trailer and I was like, oh, this is like old man con artist, like kind of movie, I bet it's gonna be like filled with intrigue and stuff. And I was like, and I was like, oh, this is a movie for old people. Like it was very even killed. Even killed, I was like, oh, I was kind of hoping
Starting point is 01:14:19 there'd be a little more intrigue or a little more depth to it. I love watching movies for old people on planes. I watch all of them. That one with, there's like two of them. There's like some hotel, I got Judy Dent, she and it, all those old bastards. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:33 And they're so nice to watch. I'm just like, just going to put this like. It's like I'm with like Disney-Tween content. Like Hannah Montana, I just would like put that on in the background while I worked. Yeah. It's good like pleasant, nothingness, yeah content. Or it's like I could pay attention, but it's just like. It's super insulting though to the people who actually what ton on these movies that we just
Starting point is 01:14:54 put them on. There are people who enjoy it. At least we're watching it. The good liar did have like one or two like kind of violence scenes. So maybe not quite so old people friendly, but definitely story wise. Someone get the headbashed. Someone gets their, is that a spoiler? Someone gets their face shot in. Not just shot in.
Starting point is 01:15:18 And like they show it. It's like a pulpy mess. Like, I went, I went, it happens and we're like, oh, I wasn't really expecting that. Yeah, dude, so I've been watching, I told you about it last summer's on, I've been watching Mid-Summer murders, which is that English countryside murder show.
Starting point is 01:15:35 And the language used in it would be so offensive now. And I was like, oh man, this must have been like, really early 90s, it was actually the late 90s. But in the first episode, the one of the detectives comes across this guy who's gay and he's like, oh yeah, he's clearly an arse bandit. I was like, and it just goes. And the other guy's like, don't be so, you know.
Starting point is 01:15:56 Yeah. But he's like, you wouldn't even say that in a show now. Arse bandit. No. It's incredible how much what is offensive has changed in just since the 90s. Like in your lifetime that you're able to see my head. I was like, that would be like 60 shit, you know, making fun of gay people.
Starting point is 01:16:13 It's crazy. Mm-hmm. How times have changed. Yeah. It makes me feel better though that we're like keeping up with the times. Like the fact that that seems crazy and we're at one point it didn't. Yeah. And it's worrying how recent that was yeah like my mom still will throw out things to be like it was socially acceptable in my time I didn't know I was like got it. I'm like an old Disney cartoon
Starting point is 01:16:37 I know you didn't mean something by it, but here's what it is now just stop I wonder how like some of the classic Disney princess movies have aged. Like if there's no princess or jokes in there that... I will tell you, little mermaid. Yeah. Not aged well. What's in there? Well, she's 16 years old, which is very weird.
Starting point is 01:16:57 Just what she got railed in it? What? She gets married in it. And then this whole weird, like, yeah, some of my hierarchy rubs up on her and she lays eggs. I've ever seen this stuff that was cut out of Fantasia. No. There's like, the original Fantasia.
Starting point is 01:17:15 The original Fantasia? Is it some racist? There's like, yeah, some racist centaurs. Like, are they racist or they like? Racist depictions of Centaur. Gotcha. Gotcha. So they're not like racist against other like humans or horses.
Starting point is 01:17:32 Or you know, they might be racist. They might be racist against that one Centaur though. Okay. It's like really, really, really bad. Is Fantasia on the Disney post-pap? It's so interesting though. I think it's like a fascinating subject because media hasn't been around for a ton of time
Starting point is 01:17:50 in like video form or like audio form. It's on the Disney Plus app. And it's gonna be interesting like what we say now that is in a pro print in like 50 years. Now I'm sure it's such a fascinating subject. I'm sure even over the course of the 11 years this podcast has been going on. Oh, we've said something.
Starting point is 01:18:06 Yeah, that's really bad stuff is shit. It's like the whole thing's a learning experience. Like you don't necessarily even know how offensive stuff is until you meet people, until to people who have dealt with derogatory comments the whole life. Maybe at a couple of years, you won't even be able to say the word people. I'm kidding.
Starting point is 01:18:24 I'm really hooked. It's not true. In 20 years, well, just telepathically communicate. Exactly. One could hope. Yes. No, but like, you never know what power is going to be given to a certain word until it's in that moment and like something becomes offensive or puts people because of a certain meaning put behind it. So like the best you could do is just learn and not do that anymore after that becomes a thing. Yeah, I think, yeah, I think that's a good way to approach it. To constantly just be okay, be aware. That's what surprised me so much about, because I feel like there's a path for a word.
Starting point is 01:18:58 It's like, it's in common circulation and then it will get shifted into like just the antagonists and stuff use those words before it's then like shifted all the way out. And that's what was crazy about the mid-summer murder thing is that like that's the main character saying that like the protagonist is saying, oh he's an arse bandit. I was like, this wouldn't do that anymore. Yeah, it's nuts. We had a, since the last time we'd done a live podcast, we also released my
Starting point is 01:19:30 plain incident podcast, the pilot for first members, which the fact that you didn't call the pilot, the pilot. I texted Gus. I was like, I hope you really leaned into the puns. He's like, sadly, did not. Do you not realize? I didn't think about it because I think by the, what we released as the pilot was not the first episode we recorded. We had recorded several. And then this is the one where like, all right, I think we kind of have a feel down for how it's gonna go. That's really good. Really good, really positive.
Starting point is 01:19:54 I read, I think there was some good feedback that first members had and I think that, there were a couple people who said that they didn't like it, but it was less people than I expected. Like way less people than I expected. Positive. Yeah, it's like, oh, I forgot what it's like to make something
Starting point is 01:20:08 and not have people shit on it. Oh. Oh. So it was nice. It's cool to see all these like audio podcasts projects come out at like around the same time. Like we obviously have good morning from hell, which if you haven't checked out, go check it out,
Starting point is 01:20:22 Face Jam as well, available on all the platforms you watch or listen to your podcasts. And then black box damage is still just on the Rishi's website. But could non-first members watch it? I don't think so. Okay, so it's the first member exclusive. So we're relying on you. First member is give us your feedback.
Starting point is 01:20:37 We need you. We have a friend. I'm working on a pitching one, putting together a treatment. Just need to find time to think about it a little more. We'll sit about It's about interesting facts I like interesting facts. Can I be on it? Yes, okay Actually was workshopping it with Jeff. Yes, who I had rapport with and I said
Starting point is 01:21:03 Jeff and I'm guessing Gavin. And he's like Gavin's too busy. He said, but if you can convince him to be on board, you're on the fear for you. So I'm doing your second play to rope you in. Good to you. She found a way. Always open his also back plug, plug, plug. You got a dab.
Starting point is 01:21:22 Dab plug. We're back. We got a new set. It's nice and cozy. It's more of like a coffee shop living room kind of set. How long have you been using the other set? Since launch, right? Because it's the first time you're doing that.
Starting point is 01:21:33 We've changed things around. So we've had the booth and table and the walls and shelves. I feel like you got rid of the TV ages ago. We got rid of the TV season. Because I can only do that prank about one time. You got it just in time. You came in at the right spot. Now, I mean, we tried to make a little more simple. The set became a lot of pieces and that print at one time. You got it just in time. You came in at the right spot.
Starting point is 01:21:45 No, I mean, we tried to make it a little more simple. The set became a lot of pieces and a lot of setup time. So we like paraded down two seasons ago. And then we've been sitting at the booth for a while and it's fun and it's nice being in that kind of formation with other people you're having a conversation with. But it also becomes a little constructive. You can't really get up and do things,
Starting point is 01:22:05 and so we're like, oh, we wanna have a podcast where people like, can't get up and go get another drink, or like, if they wanna show something physically that happened to them, they could do that, they could get up and do it. So, it makes a good idea. Make sure you little loose, sir. Thanks, Gavin.
Starting point is 01:22:17 Yeah, it was definitely the most cramped format. Yeah. Not necessarily a bad way, like it's intimate, but it's like, yeah, you really can't get up. It definitely limits you in a way. So, just want to make a little more cozy, a little more chill. We're less structured now than we used to be. We're kind of doing less topics and just more free form conversation.
Starting point is 01:22:34 So, makes a little more cozy. That's funny, because I want to add more structures. So, this one? Yeah. What? What kind of structure? Like, recurring segments and bits. Okay, I always appreciate those. Yeah, like the steak off. Like Gavin or Google pancake. Yeah, I mean, those are, I consider
Starting point is 01:22:53 those events. Okay, I think more like stuff that can come and go on an episode. We have a bunch of ideas we haven't started. We're going to start Eric's not here right now, maybe next week. We haven't done Gavin or Google in a while. I mean, Bernie was the curator. I'll do it. I'll curate you. You wanna do it right now? No, I guess. Are I cabbage?
Starting point is 01:23:12 It's one of my favorite things to watch back, actually, because it's like the spirit of Eric's here. It's like the one time I get to write jokes for other people to say. Because the best, the most important thing I'm doing is I'm trying to just come up with the dumbest, funniest thing, and I don't even have to deliver it, like Bernie would say it. Yeah. And everyone else will laugh, and I just sit there and silence.
Starting point is 01:23:33 It's nice. I have to, when we're playing that game, I have to not watch Gavin, because usually your reaction gives it away. I've got a better about it. You have. I used to laugh at the ones, because Bernie used to not tell me the ones that he had. Oh, from Google. I would be hearing them for the first time with you to not tell me the ones that he had. I was from Google. I would be hearing them for the first time with you and some of them are ludicrous.
Starting point is 01:23:49 Yeah, Google ought to complete something else as we found out repeatedly. What countries did Disney plus launch in? Launched in this one. I think it's just US, right? Someone was just singing the chat. They don't get it in the UK until March. Oh, man. Yes.
Starting point is 01:24:09 Maybe they said Europe. It's cool. It's cool. The vault is open. Yeah. There's one movie, like, weirdly, the first movie I searched for wasn't on it. It's a very deep cut. Really?
Starting point is 01:24:22 Yeah. Song of the South? The No Mobile? I knew Song of the South. It's called very deep cut. Really? Yeah. Song of the South? The No Mobile? I think I knew a song of the South wouldn't be on there. It's called No Mobile. It's based on an updancing clear book, which is very weird. But I have it on DVD and Clim loves it. But we watch it in my car, because my car is like a DVD player kid's system.
Starting point is 01:24:39 I'm so fancy. And not really though, because it's a DVD player. So it's just a pain in the ass to ever play it for or anywhere else, but they don't have it. Maybe they'll add it someday. So the first thing I wish was the great mouse detective. Did you ever see that? It was like a Sherlock Holmes.
Starting point is 01:24:56 I remember that. I never saw Vincent Price is the bad guy, which I didn't realize when I was a kid. I watched the Mandalorian. Okay. And then I've watched some Star Wars. So it launched in the US, Canada and the Netherlands. Nice.
Starting point is 01:25:10 And then this week it'll launch in Australia, New Zealand. It's also interesting that some of the stuff that they have isn't on there yet. And they put the date when it's gonna arrive. Like, you can't watch solo or the most recent main Star Wars movie. Yeah, I'm sure they're waiting for existing licensing. Yeah, one of them's like 2019 to 7, one of them's 2020. Yeah, I think they have end game, but they don't have infinity war.
Starting point is 01:25:34 We tried to watch the new Mary Poppins and it's a January 2021. Oh my gosh. So they just give away exclusivity away from their own app. Yeah, I think what happened. They licensed it to other people as well as their own stuff. I think Captain Marvel was the first theatrical release they had that they intentionally did not license out and they carved it out exclusively for Disney+. So it was a fairly recent movie.
Starting point is 01:25:59 I mean, that's the premise here. I wonder if those delays are a factor of that this is a new platform or whether we'll continue to see that as the I think goes on. I think everything will just be I think we're on for it. It'll only be Disney plus. I don't I don't think they're gonna license that stuff out to third party platforms anymore. Interesting. But of course Disney also owns Hulu. So maybe you'll see some cross-pollination there. Probably more with their TV shows and kids' content. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I watched a great Mass Detective
Starting point is 01:26:32 and then I watched some 90s X-Men. Oh. I haven't watched that yet. Didn't even make the connection that was on there. I love that. Yeah, so good. I'm gonna watch some. Like my Saturday morning.
Starting point is 01:26:42 Ducktails probably at some point. Woo! I spent like a year of my life tracking down every episode of Ducktails on Torrance. In 2003. There's one. There's my white whale. I could like, could not find it.
Starting point is 01:26:57 It was like one person on the entire internet had it and they never signed on it. They were never seen. Yeah. How dare they. And now it's all on demand. Yeah, and now it's right there. And just find it at any moment. Man speaking of things that are coming back
Starting point is 01:27:10 blast from the past, have you seen the new motor, all a razor? Yes, it's pretty cool looking. I think it looks cool, but why? It's 1,500 dollars. Yeah, that's the other side. What? Well, I guess the galaxy fold is like two grams.
Starting point is 01:27:23 Yeah. Also like I have phones are around 1,500. Yeah, it's an two grams. Yeah, also like I was around 1500. Yeah, it's an Android phone. Yeah, but it's great. I think I just made a large part of our land. Very, probably. No, probably not because us, the Apple people are suckers and we have to spend a lot of money on our phones.
Starting point is 01:27:41 I have to. Did you ever have a razor? I did. I had a, I imported a special silver razor. It was like the Japanese exclusive color. So I had to stand out and be cool. God, it's so fucking stupid. I can't believe I just said that.
Starting point is 01:27:57 But would you look where it is? I'm not that happy. You know, I'm like, I'm on the phone. But, like, they ended up like a mom the phone. But yeah, my back then, my normal phone was a sidekick. I remember that. So I would have to like swap between the sidekick and my razor. I still don't understand the hinge on that thing.
Starting point is 01:28:15 How does that screen do? It's like, I know, it'll show like rubbery when it folds in and then it's just pop. It's like, you just like tap it and like flick it and it just like, bam pops right out into place. I loved my sidekick. He did my sidekick three. Sidekick one and two were awesome.
Starting point is 01:28:31 They put the ball. Are you talking about the new razor and you're talking about the sidekick? I thought you were talking about the sidekick. I was talking about the sidekick. Okay. Because it went, oh yes.
Starting point is 01:28:40 When I met you for the first time in 2004, you had a sidekick. I did the two I think maybe. Yeah, it was like, I don't think I'd ever seen one. I don't think we had an England. I was like, what is that? Look at the way that flicks out. You're like, the full keyboard. And you was able to aim on it. I was like, yeah, you and Bernie both had on my remember in Paris, Hilton. trifecta. The internet was so fucking slow on that thing.
Starting point is 01:29:05 It's not the image. Yeah, it was edge. And it also was like, you can like tell that into stuff or so. Yeah, I bought a terminal app. That's why I had it. Like, whatever, wherever I was, if something happened with the Rucity servers, I could, I could connect to them remotely via my sidekick. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:24 I had little scripts on there to fix stuff. I had a razor. I remember, I guess I got it in like 2005, because I bought it with my money from my first job out of college. What was the job? I worked for Galsmith, RIP. Since God Bankrupt, they're a major golf. Because you don't work during the commerce site.
Starting point is 01:29:44 Pretty much. It was based in North Austin. What was the role? I was the internet content editor and did all the product pages and stuff. Oh damn. Does that play? Does your first job? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:59 It was a burger king. It was a good... I was like, wait, wait, first job out of college. Oh, yeah. Like I definitely had like student jobs and stuff. Yeah, gotcha. I was kind of like, I wanted to get in press. I was a dental assistant assistant
Starting point is 01:30:13 where I like threw away bloody teeth and it was, it was real gross. Yeah. Did anybody ever ask to keep the teeth? I don't think so. Like someone not involved in the prison. I wasn't, I wasn't client facing, so I don't know. They might have pocketed them before I.
Starting point is 01:30:29 Rick's here to pick up a big cheek. I was like the gizmopper on a porn set. Oh. Oh. If a genus extracts a tooth of yours, can you ask to keep it? I'm sure you can. Yeah, some people keep that wisdom teeth.
Starting point is 01:30:41 Do they? Yeah. Or some people have them. I'm sure you can. I'll ask next time. Do they? Yeah. Or something people have them. I'm sure you can. I'll ask next time. I can go scratch something just to see if you can keep it. What about if I can put this guy so that we can go out? Surgery, like you have appendicitis
Starting point is 01:30:55 and then remove your appendix. Can you keep the appendix? Why not? Ooh. There's probably something about like human body parts. Yeah, I think they have to be discarded in those like bio-mythoes. I think I think bullshit that you can't keep it if you opt in It's your body
Starting point is 01:31:10 Right, you have it waiting for years Maybe they Will let you take your placenta home after giving a giving birth. What did you do with you? I'm so it's in the trash Why do you even let them give it to you? Why don't you eat it? No, they did. With all the other ways that they took off the table, is there like good stem cells near the umbilical cord and all that shit? We did cord blood, cord blood banking. That's different. So they like cut the umbilical cord and then like drained its contents into this special vial and then a courier came and picked them up and overnited them to this storage facility in Arizona.
Starting point is 01:31:47 And there were these steep rocks that he had together. Yeah. I had to deliver a pizza in Death Stranding. You couldn't tip the container over. You have to have it flat? Yeah, you have to keep it flat the whole time. It has a 30 minute time quest. That's stupid.
Starting point is 01:32:02 Speaking of humans, humans body parts, I heard a story, and I don't know if there's any truth to this. But it was a story of this girl who had been talking to this guy on Tinder some day. Yeah. And he invited her over for dinner, and she came over. He made dinner for her.
Starting point is 01:32:17 They ate. They had a good time. And then she started feeling really sick, so she left to go home. And she started feeling more and more sick throughout the night that she went to the hospital. And they had to more and more sick throughout the night that she went to the hospital. And they had to pump her stomach because there was something seriously wrong.
Starting point is 01:32:29 And she woke up the next morning and there were police officers in her room. And apparently, they found out through having to pump her stomach and do all the stuff that she had been fed human flesh or parts of a human. And it was making her sick. So like the guy she went on the date with essentially,
Starting point is 01:32:48 the cannibal gave her human to eat. The previous date. Maybe I don't know. But just human make you throw up. No. Not no. Yeah. I didn't experience probably would make you sick. So I read about it. Like, I don't think it would necessarily make you sick,
Starting point is 01:33:10 but I think the biggest potential risk is that there's some like brain. Cry on. And me, but there's something more. It's like more easily transmitted through human meat. Yeah. If proteins that are folded the wrong way. They get in and they unfold all your existing protein.
Starting point is 01:33:29 What? Like you got like fold an iron your proteins. How does that work? It's like, okay, I'm not a biologist. I'm going to get it. I'm going to get it. I'm going to get it. I'm going to get it.
Starting point is 01:33:40 I'm going to get it. I'm going to get it. I'm going to get it. I'm going to get it. I'm going to get it. I'm going to get it. I'm going to get it. I'm going to get it. I'm going to get it. It's like all of your proteins are folded one way. A pry-on is like the same kind of protein, but it's folded the opposite way. So like when it comes into contact with the correctly folded ones,
Starting point is 01:33:50 it unfolds them, then refolds them the wrong way. So basically all of the protein in your body gets unfolded and refolded the wrong way. And what does that mean? What does that mean? What does that mean? There's a mirror image of yourself. You're brain falls apart before.
Starting point is 01:34:04 Oh, what? Just literally falls apart. I think it like, it stops working. Is that the same that causes like the twitching? I think you can. God, I hate it. Is that why like mad cow disease was from cowsie and cows? Is it the same?
Starting point is 01:34:20 Yes, similarly. Essentially, yeah. And it's more prevalent if you eat brain matter is what the problem is and that's what was happening with cows. Are you happy you're a vegan at this point in time? I'm kidding me yet. No, still vegan. What are you now?
Starting point is 01:34:34 Like you're over a month. Four and a half weeks or so. Damn, dude. What if I just unfolded and refolded one of your proteins? Would you be all right? No, I think it spreads. I think what's what you get it. Like, it slowly continues to spread. Okay, there it is.
Starting point is 01:34:52 Prions. Prions refer to abnormal pathogenic agents that are transmissible and are able to introduce abnormal folding of specific normal cellular proteins called prion proteins, usually found most abundantly in the brain. The abnormal folding of the prion proteins leads to brain damage, the characteristic signs and symptoms of the disease. Prion diseases are usually rapidly progressive and always fatal. So don't get prion. Yeah, it unfolds in refolds your brain and then you die. All right, on that note.
Starting point is 01:35:19 Well, don't eat. Let's have some dinner. Thanks for watching everybody. We'll see you guys next time. Bye. Bye. I need to go. Do you like apples? Describe the show to a newcomer and a more familiar way. Do you like apples?
