And I'm Gus. Whatever. Gavin, I'm Andrew. I'm Barbara. And I'm Gus. Whatever. Did that for you? I was like, I just gotta be cool. I'm just gonna keep doing the work. How long have we been doing this podcast? What do you expect? I think my mic is muted during the ad read anyways, isn't it?

I doubt it. I don't know. I don't think it is. I don't know. Oh, I just, just like, and we're fading in. How do you get rid of climidious? Just like, it's more context. We all get this COVID test. Anytime we have to come. How do you get rid of climidia? It's like, absolutely. It's more context. We all get this COVID test.

Anytime we have to come in and do the podcast, we all have to test negative. And that test tests for a lot of people. I'm going to pull it up and see what we have to test before. And I said, I think it tests for like, climidia and like, stuff that you wouldn't expect. It definitely tests for, obviously, it tests for COVID,

it tests for the flu, about some bacterial things. Like a general cold. I think that's what happened with, I know Michael Jones was supposed to do off topic one week and he had like a cold that I think came back positive on the test and so they're like, well, you can't look at that. Look at the chat.

It's not me that joined the eateries. That's very interesting to know. Let's see, we got, a to know variety. What a adenovirus. Four different types of coronavirus things severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus human metademovirus maybe pneumonia human rhino virus Influenza, influenza B,

parat influenza virus one, parat influenza all the way to four, respiratory all the way. See, the funny part is me trying to actually read these. Respiratory since since you're doing great. Some like Chris on that podcast last week. And then like four other bacteria tests too. I can't read any of these things. There's a lot of things.

There's a lot of things. There's a lot of things. There's a lot of things. There's a lot of things. There's a lot of things. There's a lot of things. There's a lot of things. There's a lot of things.

There's a lot of things. There's a lot of things. There's a lot of things. There's a lot of things. There's a lot of things. There's a lot of things. There's a lot of things. There's a lot of things. There's a lot of things. There's a lot of don't have Climity as well. Congratulations everyone. Everyone. It's true But then again, I got the test yesterday. Who knows?

That's the last 24 hours. I can't wait till we can finally come in and do the podcast without having to get that test. Yeah, like I mean it's Although we had the best one ever yesterday. Yeah, it was not bad. It's not that it's like super uncomfortable It's just like another step you have to go through it's like get to get up I got to go do this thing. And- Well, it's also because we gotta get tested the day before, which is a Sunday for us. So it's like, we're not already at work.

We're doing something that we all have to come do it, but it's fine, worth the safety. Yeah. We do it to be safe. To be safe and to see each other. Well, now the CDC says that you can gather inside if you're vaccinated. Yeah, it's not crazy. That you're safe in most scenarios.

I walked, so I came here yesterday, I got the COVID test yesterday and then afterwards, I got it done like first thing in the morning, I was like, I'm gonna stop by the Starbucks by the studio and I'm gonna pick up a coffee and I walked in there. I placed my order ahead of time in the app, walked in, grabbed it, walked out, and as I'm walking out, this dude walks in with no mask and I'm like this motherfucker fucking asshole I do my hot coffee right in his face walking in here with no mask and then as I'm walking out I looked at the sign on the door and now it says masks are optional for fully vaccinated individuals and I was like oh like I'm so conditioned now to like being mad anytime I see someone's face. I mean, you're the one that lets you knew, guys.

We were all like that way before this. We were all like that way before this. So, uh, are you gonna get it in your dreams? It's just weird to see it like, changing and... There's already a couple stores I think that have implemented the new...

I think Walmart and Costco? Yes, and I think Starbucks is also on that list. And then there was like two or three other like big stores that are like, oh, it's optional if you're vaccinated. America famous for being great with the honor system. Like there's no, there is no way most people are following those rules if they haven't. If you have like, if you're like,

I'm never getting the vaccine, there's no way you're gonna still wear a mask. The best thing ever though is I've heard about this phenomenon where people, you can't write this stuff. This is like how insane the human brain works, is that people who weren't wearing masks before think that you can catch the vaccine is transmittable. So they're going to people are going to see their relatives who've been vaccinated wearing masks because they don't want to catch Bill Gates Bill Gates with a crazy robot vaccine.

Mind control thing from the whole. Well, the microchip can jump, but it would be stopped by the mask. By the mask, exactly. So again, they're like, please. Again, this wild world we've created where some people are now like, I now have to wear masks that I wouldn't wear before

from a deadly virus. I will wear because I don't want to catch the vaccine. I read that I was just like yeah fill your boots. I mean this is from the country that brought you putting gasoline in plastic bags. Come on down anything you can put gasoline in your cup tans I don't know just anything. Kitty pool. Soak your clothes at it sit, ring them out when you get home. I mean, we had something similar here, even in Austin, when Hurricane Harvey hit in Houston, there was a run on gasoline, and people were filling up, and everyone kept saying, there's no shortage of gasoline,

but they'd be like, then why are we running out of gas? It's because everyone's filling up their, like trash cans with gasoline. Looks like the toilet paper at the beginning of the pandemic, right? It's panic buying. It's just a weird panic buying. Everyone just like freaks out. It's like the toilet paper at the beginning of the pandemic, right? Yeah. It's panic buying. It's just a weird panic buying. Everyone just like freaks out.

It's like, terrible domino effect. You're fine. Yeah. And just like, gasoline is, I mean, it's perfectly safe in cars, but there's just, I remember when I read about that happening, I was just like, are can we start the counter on zero days without a panic buying gasoline like explosion?

Like can we start the counter? And I was like, it's only a matter of time before. It's like, yes, say, a house burns down because they had 50 Jerry cans inside their garage like full of gasoline. And sure enough, I just started seeing news stories ramp out of just like, yeah, Hummer, like, you know, melts all the gross.

There was another one I saw where this van had a 200 gallon tank in the back that started leaking gasoline. And like the fire department had to get called out to deal with this fact that there's just 200 gallons of gasoline slowly leaking out of a van. Normal stuff. I'm Billy Mays, that's when they need that like tape that you can like slap off.

If you have flex tape, bam. That's the first pretty well apparently. Yeah, apparently. Yeah. Just make a box out of the flex tape, pour the gasoline in it. Pour the gasoline in it. Here's the thing. Here's the thing.

I don't know, I don't know. I've never used that tape, but it seems to me that gasoline being a solvent in it itself would take the stickiness right off that damn tape. I think gasoline might be the one thing. Then you go with the gasoline and you don't even need to put it in anything. Did you got napalm? You got napalm, you just can't wear it. It's fine.

Problem solved. Yeah, so I'm wearing. I'm wearing the world that where people are panicked by and gasoline and putting it in, like, just add the absolute worst. Or the thing of vaccine has microchips. Yeah, that can be trans. Because nothing else is tracking us

every single day, every moment of our life. Already. Like, I'm not putting those chemicals in my body. It's like, I cannot tell you how many things you consume on a daily basis that are just, it, the laundry list, the like, just wonka contract of just ingredients and chemicals that just goes down and gets smaller of just like,

yeah, and that was just like breakfast. Have you eaten at a jack in the box? Exactly. I mean, I have those two topics for none in nine cents. Where is it? There's like, there's like, they're delicious. And there's chemicals that you can,

that are safe for consumption in the United States that are not safe for consumption anywhere else in the world. Like, there's that one in Mountain Dew, what is it, a brawmanated sulfide? It's like, you cannot, no other country in the world is that allowed to be used in food. No other country than what can you ingest that? But in the United States, just put it in the Mountain Dew,

it's fine. Oh yeah. Yeah, the US is woefully lax in the things that we allow like people to put in their bodies. That's like one of the most, that's one of the greatest freedoms we have, as a matter of fact, you can put anything you want in your body. We do have tons of stuff in it.

Give me something to carry your gasoline in to put it in your mouth. Or to Zoolander it. Yeah, exactly. Oh my God. Oh God. That actually gave me like a shiver just thinking about, I don't know why.

Putting gasoline in your mouth? It reminded me of the story. Was it last week you talked about the coin suckers? Oh yeah. Yeah. I didn't know. I didn't hear that conversation But I immediately know Version is there were when the New York City subway still use tokens There were people who would intentionally jam up the slots and then come out and suck the token out from the slot

Like to put their mouth on it would go it would token would go in but it wouldn't be registered So it kind of being like like me Yeah Yeah, yeah I get it. It's about as Vile is like in a man I'm not getting a vaccine, but I'll suck the tokens It's okay. I'll suck a token right out of these machines, but get that needle away from I I had to go to the dentist last week speaking of mouth stuff

I for years I have had a super irrational fear of going to the dentist. And I think it stems from the fact that I remember going to the dentist as a child in the 80s. Like I remember early to mid 80s dentistry. Yes. And I'm like I don't want any part of that. Like I have feelings in my mouth that are probably as old as Gavin and Barbara. So we are also from the 80s. Yeah.

So I had like this tooth pain that started. Like it didn't hurt, but if I bit down on something, it hurt. That was like, oh, something's wrong with that tooth. Yeah. And I tried looking at it myself. I was like, it's like one of the mold. I had to see shit back there. It's like, so fuck, I gotta go to the dentist. So I'm like with that tooth. Yeah. And I tried looking at it myself. I was like, it's like one of the mold. I can't see shit back there. It's like, so fuck, I gotta go to the dentist.

So I'm like doing that thing where it's like my irrational brain trying to argue with my rational brain. My rational being mean like, people go to the dentist all the time. It's not a big deal. Like, what are you so freaking out about? And like the child from the 80s in the back of my mind going, no, it's gonna fucking hurt.

Like they're gonna need to strap you down into that chair. Gus, you're absolutely right, because I put it to you that American dentistry didn't improve, stayed the same in quality from about 1890 to about 2005. Yeah. All dentistry was exactly the same. Some places are still not there.

Yeah, some people didn't still aren't there yet. But just like, yeah, I felt like up until like the mid 2000s, it was just like, well, we have some gas you can breathe and a leather belt you can ride on. And those are the two options. I know it's rough. You gotta put it on one side of your mouth. You guys ever had, I forget what it's called now, but it's like that piece of plastic or rubber rather that they put on your mouth to work on one tooth. Oh yeah, that's all damn. I met that. I met it.

You had that. I met when they had to do my work the other day. Yep. Not fun. Especially when it gets like in your like it's covering your nose so you also can't breathe out your nose. It's just like. And that's when I started thinking I was like kind of since they were working on like a

bat, an upper back tooth I had to be kind of on my back and a little upside down. And it's like covering my nose and I'm like, is this what waterboarding is like? I have the ice, I don't like letting this. I'm like, I can't breathe. Yeah. They get in there, they look at it and the dentist's like, yep, you need a root canal.

I was like, how fuck? And she was like, unfortunately, I don't have enough instruments to do the root canal today. She's like, I already have another root canal booked and I have the instruments set aside for that. So I can't have enough instruments to do the root canal today. She's like, I already have another root canal booked and I've been instrumented aside for that, so I can't do years today. So you need to come back tomorrow. So like, fuck! So like, I built up the curse, you go to the dentist at once,

and they were like, we can't do it today. You got to come back tomorrow. So I had to go back again to get it done. It was funny getting that message from you, because we were supposed to do something. Friday. Friday morning. We were supposed to have a meeting about something. And guys, it's like, I might be late to this.

I have a surprise root canal. I was like, oh, those are two words I never want to hear together. No, I definitely did not want to hear them, but it didn't hurt at all. Like numbings? Right, like they inject, you know, they inject you obviously with the numbing stuff and And it doesn't hurt. I have no problem with needles.

I guess you get shots all the time when I was a kid. Like the COVID test is more uncomfortable when they get into the root canal was. Yeah. But it took a long time, took like two and a half hours. Like the worst thing was like getting bored, like staring at the ceiling with that fucking thing like waterboarding needle.

Did it not look like headphones or anything like the same music on or podcast? I mean, they had like TV on, they podcast like TV on that the TV on it was on Series defining waterboarding for me They had a TV in there and it was on like HG TV and it was on flipper flop and I was like I don't give a fuck about this house like I think you can't see it or were you able to see it? I couldn't see it because I was like Like reality TV like real estate show that you can't see it because I was like, I'm like down-to-dancing. That's not true for a flop. Like, a reality TV, like real estate show

that you can't see in only a year, nightmare. Awful. I love this show. I remember when it was getting to watch, but just to hear it would be like, God, this is, this is, this is, it's like they were like, it's gonna take $7,000 to redo this deck

and in my mind, I'm like, how big is this deck? Why am I like to see it? I think this deck is, I think I should have raised my end of the day, it's like, are you okay? Like, I just need to see the deck, like, let me think I should have raised my end of the deck. Are you okay? I just need to see the deck. Let me set up.

You can flip me up, Jose. I think my least favorite was orthodontist back when I was a teenager and I had braces put in. They did the mold of my teeth. I saw him getting this mold and put in all the goop on it and doing like this. Then he just goes like, really pressed it up there because they have to but I felt a load of the goop like squirt out the back

back in the center and I was like I was like I think it's I think it's over my breathing hole and this is what I was thinking I was like let me test it

and I just breathed it a little bit and I sucked and I was like oh my god coughed and a bunch of shit flew out and the author was like, oh my god. Cough, then a bunch of shit flew out. The old time was like, sit down. You're like, what are you doing? You're gonna break it out.

Your eyes are watering, telling us stories. Dude, thinking about that, I know that exact feeling. Yes. I feel like anybody who's ever had a mold or even, do you guys get the like, like, I used to go to for cleaning every year. Yeah. And they would do that.

Like, it wasn't a mold that they would take, but it was the stuff that you still have to bite down on for like a minute or two. Oh, it's the X-rays, right? Fluride, maybe. Oh, oh, I didn't like it. It was like something, but like the little stuff would start seeping back into your back.

And so it'd be like trying your best not to breathe that all through your mouth and it's just like, okay, just sounding like a pug. That's just all I can imagine. So I feel that, I feel that sensation right now. And then here we have really bad allergens in the air. So when I was like on my back, I felt like I was getting like post nasal drip

going into my throat as well. It's like, I'm I not breathing like, the whole time just like being worried about it. I'm not know you had braces. When did you have braces? I don't know, it's like, 13? I guess you got them all over the braces age. Yeah, I mean, I lost the retainer so my teeth aren't straight anymore.

And then I just know the reason about it. Really? Really have pain in the way? Yeah, straight away. 70%, like 75% straight, that's world. Yeah, straight into the world. Everybody's 70%. I'm gonna like 75% straight. That's good. I also went to the dentist recently because, of course,

God vaccinated some feeling good, so I made an appointment for everything. I was just like, give me the work. So I'm going to the doctor. You're gonna have Dennis gonna do all the things. So I went to the dentist and she's like, okay, it's been over a year, so we're gonna take all the new X-rays.

And I never liked that. They give you the thing. You bite down on the little thing that has a little plate there. And then they put the leather, they're always sharp too. Oh yeah. It's always sharp.

It's made of glass. Yeah. It's so sharp in your mouth. They can't round the edges of this thing. I got a grinder. I'll take care of this in five minutes. No, but they put the thing in your mouth. And they put the leather. They put the lead vest of you know on your chest, which is really comforting

I wish they would just leave that there the whole Like a white blanket. Yeah, a white blanket And I it occurred to me. It's like oh the reason they do the reason they do all that is like they put the vest in you They put the thing in and then the dental hygienist goes behind like 15 feet of glass and like lead wall, like they go into another room to take those, like, is this safe for me? I know I've got the vest on, but this person like went to a neighboring state.

So they got, you've got the vest on, but your brain and your head, like there's no helmet. Your L of your, this stuff is still exposed. I was like glancing the brain stem every time. Yeah, I was like, all right, you got the vest, you got the little vest on, the little blanket, and we're gonna put this thing in your mouth. Excuse me while I like put on like,

trinobile level, like, has matte material. And I'm gonna go behind this wall with this like little window and press the button. It's like, oh, they do, I just didn't know I thought about it. It's like, oh, it's because they do this like a hundred times a day. Right, yeah.

So they can't have that, like when you do that much, when you're exposed to that many X-rays, you gotta have a little bit more. Dex-ray bounce. Can it glance them if you even have a spy that way, would it hit the wall and hit them? I think it probably does depending on the material, right? Yeah, I don't know.

Like an old West bullet. Pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl If you're ever curious how much an extra cost at a med clinic, it's $180. So I went to go get extra for something, you know, a deadl of roosters. Spoiler, I die in the first episode. And part of that was me falling down on the ground. I was in a tight dress for it. And so I couldn't really move my arms. So I fell really awkwardly. And then I couldn't breathe for the next day or like move. And I was like, I think I might have broken broke a rib.

Oh, no, because that's the age I'm at now. Yeah. I fall from a foot above the ground and I might have broken a rib. And so I had to go to like a med clinic to get x-rayed, which is very awkward because you're standing half naked in a room by yourself as the other technician is in a different room behind the glass.

And you're just like, 180 bucks, 180 bucks. And the test and you're just like, hmm, hmm, hmm, 180 bucks, 80 bucks. And the test and you didn't crack a rib? No, I think it was just bruised, but it was not pleasant. This episode of the Sheath Podcast brought to you by DoorDash. Need dinner, deodorant, maybe a morning pick me up

I remember seeing a video of, it was in this like old documentary, I'll just say a little bit, old documentary about the invisible world, like super high speed stuff, like time lapse and microscopes and shit, and one of them is an X-ray. And they just showed a video of a cat in X-ray, like walking along, you feel like sealed a liquid like bouncing around at stomach, and I was like,

did this cat die? Like they're just firing and they're like video X-raying him in real time. That must have killed it. Absolutely. Maybe you maybe get cats cancer down the road. I don't think it kills you. It was one of its lives.

It's fine. But I'll see, what's the exposure time on an X-ray picture? I'm gonna be like, fraction of a second. Well, so another thing I did as I went to the Ear Nose and Throat Doctor is also part of this like big, huge, like sweeping thing. And I did a barium swallow because I've been

How's that some bad heartburn? Well, it's They give you a glass that is unbelievably heavy barium this barium solution that you drink on camera It comes in like a plastic cup this big but weighs like eight pounds like you don't they don't prepare you It's like it's heavy and you're like sure sure I know how heavy things are and then they like Can't do it. You're like hand drops. You're like I know how thin much things weigh in cups. Thank you And then it completely fools you even though you told you about it And so you drink this liquid and they take an x-ray video of it going down

To see how like your your esophageal sphincter how how it's like closing that's right kids It's off. It's a geosfincter. I have it's like closing, that's right kids. It's not a phageal sphincter, I have it's like closing properly to keep liquid from coming back up. And then you, and if you've never had this done, then you shit white the next like two days. Ghost turds. Yeah, no it really is, like cause this is a super heavy liquid that they're like, okay drink a lot of water

after you drink this because this, essentially cement is gonna be in your GI tract for two days so keep drinking water. And I was like, okay, so I started drinking water all day. And it was not enough, because at some point, I had been sitting for 30 minutes and stood up to walk. I was like, oh, oh my God. It really did feel like, it feels like my insides

are solidified. So we need to drop in heavy logs. Well, they like big splashes. I'm big and white splashes. But, yeah. I'm like, splashes. Do they clashes? Yeah. I sounded like someone dropped a brick on a roll of quarters at the bottom of my toilet. No, surprisingly it didn't make my leavings.

It didn't make any of that super solid and super solidified. In fact, the opposite. It made it the opposite consistency. Happy war. Yeah. Do you guys like consistently when you piss or shit, do you look at what you've produced before flashing, like to make sure like the coloration is good

and consistency is good, like not all the time. Gotta make sure there's the right amount of blood in there. Yeah. Which is none. That was a trick question. No, I mean, I'll go on on the ball. I feel like I'll just Glance the ball once it's gone down make sure this no well, just like you want to make sure like you're getting enough You're you're hydrated enough. So if you're like urine is more on the clear side

It's good rather than like super yellow or orange, which is bad Just like stuff like that. Sure. You want to make sure? Yeah So Trevor got these things that are supposed to like keep your toilet bowl cleaner That makes the water blue Yeah, you guys to make sure? Well, I'm a check. So Trevor got these things that are supposed to keep your toilet bowl cleaner. That makes the water blue. You guys see in this picture? Oh yeah. And I was like, this is great because it keeps it clean, but I can't check the color of my stuff.

I don't know if I'm like, I need to be able to check the color of things. Wait, so it's blue, so if you piss, if it goes green, then you need to do more. And it's that. I guess it's like how green? Because it's like dark blue. Just go in a big bowl, check it, and you need to do more. I guess it's like how green, because it's like dark blue. Just go in a big bowl, check it, and then pour it in the bowl.

I need to get my piss and bowl in here. Where is this? Why don't you just look at the stream on the way down? Like, get a little light, get your phone. That's a little difficult to do. You don't have enough volume to it. Instead of just not using the blue stuff in the toilet. I have the Chuck Berry system of cameras to in order to

what? Jesus, fucking Jeep cut there. I think it's, well, I mean, you had this too. If you don't mind me saying, we both had colonoscopies. Yes. Not together, but in various ways. To time. Hold the hand.

Yeah. The couple's colonoscopies. Yeah. But we also put them in the weasin' it. We prep differently, I think. I did the night before cleansing. You did the day of cleansing. Yeah, let me tell you.

You got to take a bunch of laks. So for the prep that I did, it was like you don't eat solid food, I think 24 hours before, or drink anything that's not like a clear liquid. You could have like chicken soup or chicken broth and stuff like that and water and apple juice and stuff like that. But then you also start drinking this liquid that flushes you out, hours and hours and hours before your procedure.

So you're like, got a clear empty tunnel of vision for them. Yeah. Andrew on the other hand. I don't. Different method of prep. Yeah. And I don't know. I don't, different method of prep. Yeah, and I don't know. I don't, I can't remember if I talked about this

on the podcast when it happened, but it was well over a year ago that I did it. But no, there's, there's that method which is like, be near a toilet constantly because you're gonna get the urge, every five minutes on the five minutes, like every, on the minute. Like, the one I did though was,

I was like, I wanna try, I wanna try something new. And so the, of the day one is they take a tube, and you sit on the special chair, that's kinda like a bath, and they put the tube up ya, and they just flush ya. They, it's like a little garden hose, and they, it's like, yeah, it's like an animal. It's, but it's, it animal. But it's a long animal.

I picture it's like that. Like an hour or two. Like that toy you put on the hose with like the top, like the water starts spring out everywhere. Yeah, exactly. I had been shot like a cartoon. So like water was going out. Did you say it was like you get inflated and then like,

it'll come out. Yeah, so like they were like, so you know, you're gonna let the water, like you're gonna feel yourself getting like, it'll all come out. Yeah, so like they were like, so you know, you're gonna let the water, like you're gonna feel yourself getting full, which is really, to just feel like you really need to shit, but it's water. It feels like you really need to shit,

and also like if you've ever had like gas pain, like it just feels like you're like, ugh, so like you go, ffff, and they're like, now hold that as long as you can, and then you know, like try to do 15 or 15 seconds of the 10 or 15 seconds of that and then you're like And then you like

And release is it satisfying coming out? Yeah, but no I mean Yes, yes in the moment and then it's like you're right back online in line for the roller coaster. Because you do it for like 30 minutes or an hour or something. And it, oh, God. And so it's like that every like 15 to 20 seconds for like a good long while. So it's either this for 30 minutes to an hour

or the other way for 24 hours. My thing was miserable though, because, and I'm not saying this wasn't miserable. Yeah. My operation when I had a colonoscopy was either eight or nine in the morning, and you're supposed to do like the first chug of this beverage, I think 8 p.m.

and then again, four hours before your operation. So I- I gotta wake up early. Although I never went to bed. Let's be real. I was shitting all night. Yeah. But it becomes just your pissin' out of your ass.

Yeah, I don't know what it's like. There's literally nothing left. But. We haven't had a pug gun, but this one in ages, I love it. And I probably talked about it when it actually happened. But also, you know when you are sitting in your stomach, you start to gurgle and you're like, I might have to shit soon.

For this, if you felt anything, you are shitting now. Like, get the fuck up. Why is the anus so poorly designed for liquid? Like, why can't I have like a little? It's water tight, I think. I was just, I mean, it's not only can out. All this stuff is activating your internal organs in a way that they're not used to being activated.

That's what's going on. I just love that we've talked intensely about both entrances today. We've talked about the teeth and the mouth and the exit, or I guess I said entrances. I meant, uh, uh, well, you know, a fetch for it. I mean, I guess we're done then. I mean, we checked off everything on the bingo card. I literally full circle.

I just love the phrase, you're pissing out of your ass because that sounds like someone like saying, ah, you're pissing out of your ass. Like something you do to just miss someone. Ah, you're just pissing out of your ass. There's no other way to describe it. I mean, there really isn't. It's when there's literally nothing solid to come out anymore, because it's all been gone,

but you're selling so much. Oh, been gone. Yeah. It's just out of you. So to rewind just a bit, to ask your question from earlier, Gavin. Back to the Climidia? Or after that, back to X-Ray.

Yeah. Yes. The American College of Radiology recommends limiting lifetime diagnostic radiation exposure to the equivalent of 10,000 chest X-rays. Oh. That's over the course of a lifetime. Yeah. You get a lot of that from just being out in the load flying. No, this is essentially getting X-rays. Well, yeah, I mean, it's got a number. Was it 100 milisivers? Seabirds, I don't remember how to say it, which is the equivalent of 10,000 chest X-rays.

Oh, okay. So, there you go. All right. I'll cancel my booking for 10,000 chest X-rays next week. If you did a slow-mo chest X-ray video, then you might be in trouble. Oh, God. That'll be crazy, wouldn't it? Yeah.

We're going to film this in 10,000 Chess X-rays in one second. Yeah, you could. You can take a good video out of that. That'd be class. He's volunteering. I'll break another rib if you want. I'll just set it to do 9,000. 9,000, 99,000.

We'll save you another thousand for your want. I'll just set it to do 9,000. 9,000, 99, you'll be fine. We'll save you another thousand for your life, the rest of it. There you go. Just to get injured again, it's only a matter of time. Bruising, hurting a rib, I just remember because I also bruised a rib all the time. That the absolutely shittiest part about that injury

is that there is nothing they can do for you. Nothing. It's just like, whether it's, because the other thing is like, a bruise broken distinction without a difference because it hurts like absolute holy hellfire and it really, the doctor's like, well, you can take somebody be profan.

Yeah, that's what I was doing. Yeah, exactly. And that's why I went, when I went to get an X-ray, I was like, I just wanna know if it's broken or not. Like that's all, but you didn't change. Nothing, nothing. It was more of just like, I just wanna know.

And, yeah. I know, I mean, because it's helpful to know, because it's just like, well, yeah, it is helpful to know, I guess, if you have a broken rib, but like the prognosis and the recovery is pretty much the same. It also sucks. Well, go easy.

It means you can't like getting up or moving, breathing even because it like, you know, obviously your lungs move and that moves your ribs and stuff like that. It's all just uncomfortable pain for two or three weeks. No comfortable position or anything. And what you said, let's be honest, let's have a real discussion here.

Let's do it. That stuff doesn't work, right? Like ibuprofen, acetaminifin. What? Does it actually, it works on me. I think it works for headaches only. Yeah. I've never been for headaches only. Yeah. I've never been in pain and taken up like a pain killer

and thought, oh, that's much better. Except for headache. A headache, I'll take one, like, okay, it's going away. Yeah. I feel like I got my root canal. They were like, oh, by the way, after I got my root canal, they were like, you know, it's gonna be sore. It'll hurt for a day or two.

If it's still hurting after a week or two, that's also normal. I was like, whoa, whoa, it'll hurt for a day or two. If it's still hurting after a week or two, that's also normal. I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, they got a big range here. They're like, if it hurts, you could take a seat of menophan or ibuprofen, and I'm ahead of them, that shit doesn't do anything anyway. Yeah. Yeah.

Sadly, the opioid crisis has ruined the good meds for a lot of people who are in significant amounts of pain because doctors are really tight-fisted with that stuff these days. Like, you have to have like really major surgery for them to prescribe you the heavy stuff. Because- I got some heavy pain meds after my surgery.

I'm telling you, and you have to have like, actual surgery because if it's like, oh yeah, Rookan now, that's fine. Cause I remember, cause I had a Rookan now a long time ago and they did give me the good stuff after I had that. But that was a long time ago. Now they're a little bit good stuff after I had that. But that was a long time ago. Now they're a little bit, they keep it a little bit.

It doesn't hurt at all. Like, it's totally fine. Yeah. It's amazing. Like you said, post 2005, whatever, some magic happened at some point. At some point. Not the dentist I went to.

I need to find a new dentist, which is when you were asking like, anyone have any dentist recommendations that's like, I would not recommend mine. They put a crown on me that did not work. It's like still painful when I chew on that tooth. No, that's not good. Yeah, and every time I go back there,

they're like, how's it doing? I'm like, it's still hurt. And they're just like, oh, just keep an eye on it. And I'm like, it's here. What, it's been six months. I think someone who works here was telling me that some dentists here are just scammers and they'll just give you a filling Yep for no reason that is be like, ah, you know, I want to make somebody so I'll just drill all in your teeth and fill it

It's like I had three fillings at the dentist that I've been to and I'm like, I don't know if I need Every time I go in it's a new filling and I'm like I brush my teeth really Someone moved here to work at Ristatief. And they got a new dentist here. And the person was like, you got like nine fake fillings. Yeah. Nine fillings, well, there's no evidence of any. I think me and that person went to the same day.

Well, because they show you the X-ray again, we're back there. But they show you the X-ray. It's like, you see this little dark spot? It's like, it's all dark spot. What are you talking about? It's on this tooth. It's like, this is a little dark spot. That's decay.

It's like this, I'm looking at a Doppler radar right now. I don't know what that's. Is this a son of a gram? Yeah, I see my tooth, and then there's like, but that looks just like the back of the tooth where it's a little gray because that's the other side of the tooth. It's like, no, it's decay, we'll fill that in.

Yeah, we got decayed, L, the M, and the... Oh my God. Oh my God. The, the, the, the dentist laughed at my fillings. Uh, she said why my fillings were so old that she could not buy the type of material that was used in my fillings even if you wanted to anymore, but they haven't used it in decades. I was like, no, you can only buy it with Confederate money.

Like she had to buy it with free civil. Oh, yeah, I can Like, you can't even buy it with pre-simile. Oh yeah, I can't even get that anymore. She was like, you may want to replace them. I don't know, like if you want to, it's only up to you. So you didn't get them replaced yet? Well, one of them I had to, it's just where I had the root canal. And then I had one on the other side replaced. Wow.

So yeah, old, old shit from the 80s. I remember you talked about, you talk about your teeth like on previous podcasts about how, whenever you went to the dentist, they were just like, you got great teeth. Yeah, really fine. You have no problems. Yeah, well, after 43 years,

it's something finally happened. Oh, you look ran out, Sorola. Hi, yeah. Yeah, it's awful. This episode of the Rift teeth podcast brought to you by Brooklyn Inn. Well, it's spring again, or summer, or, I mean, I know we've all probably lost track

That's Brooklyn in dot com promo code rooster Someone in chat said rooster to presents this is aging. Yeah, it's true. Yeah, I mean, that's what this podcast has been for the last 12 and a half years. I think about that sometime how like Gavin and I started doing the podcast when we were in our early 20s Yeah, I remember Jeff was making fun of me once on a podcast and I was like, wow, you're so wise, Jeff.

Look all this knowledge you're giving to my 21 year old brain. It's like, wow. I was a lifetime ago. Now we're getting called Oscar Bees. Yeah, now you're there. Yeah, hopefully the audience has aged with us. I feel great. I actually, honestly, I feel better generally, feel a lot better than I did earlier in my life.

Yeah. Just like feeling like a drink class. I hardly drink at all. And I think that's a huge part of it. I eat a lot better than I eat so much better than I used to. I exercise a lot more regularly and I don't drink as much. Like, we were talking earlier, like a week and a go, like I finally saw some friends and I actually like had alcohol for the first time because I just like was a complete T-total during most of the pandemic. Because I was drinking, drinking so much.

Drinking so much. It's a social thing for a lot of people. Social pain for me. So like I didn't drink during the pandemic and I like I think that really like really helped a lot of things. But yeah, I think I generally feel a lot better than I did, mostly because of diet exercise. I also think exercise is easier now, because another thing, this is aging,

is like time passes a lot faster the older you get because it's just a function of like time dilation. I was thinking about this earlier, it's like I think exercising is actually easier now because time like literally doing like a 30 minute workout feels a lot quicker than it did when I was like 20. When I was 20, like I feel like time's like an hour, 20 minute, 30 minute work.

Have you been working out during the pandemic this whole time? Yeah, damn. I mean like at home, what is it to do? So you actually perceive it in the moment, fasted it. I believe so. I'm the opposite. I've almost thought that when it comes to flying,

I feel like when I was younger, flights used to take forever. Yeah. And now they're just, like if it's less than a six hour flight, it's like cool, let's get off. Like Australia still sucks to get to. Yeah, 14 hour there. But now I feel like flying to LA is just like a little blitz

It's nothing when I was a kid flying for three hours would have been a nightmare Yeah, when I was a kid my grandmother one of my grandma's lived in the next town over Which was a 35 to 40 minute drive and it was agony Agony it was like this is so far we have to quit to spend 35 or 40 minutes in the car Yeah far. We have to go to spend 35 or 40 minutes in the car. Yeah, but it is. It's like if you are playing a game or watch this somewhere or reading something, it's not like it's slightly faster. Yeah. The flight goes by. I remember playing Stardew Valley on a plane once. I was like, I was playing for like half an hour. It's like a four hour

flight. Yeah. It's like by multiple factors that it helps you speed up time. Oh yeah. No, it's treated, yeah, absolutely. And I feel like no more so than like when you travel, especially since like now, you get to play Stardew Valley. Yeah, that's another thing. So when I was a kid,

I was probably just at a coloring book. Yeah, seriously. It's something they're like, and it's the same when, I don't know if you've had it recently. Hang it with your parents. Oh, yeah. But if you play, if you just start playing a game,

the moment you get really into it, and you're like, I just want to keep playing this game. And then you look at the time, it's like, I second 11th, yeah, should go to bed. And then you're just like, I'll play until midnight. And then you're like, one a.m. And it's like, shit! One a.m. two days from now.

I mean, not that the massive legendary edition's out. Is that happening to you? Yeah, it's like, oh, I just got a few minutes. I mean, not just been having me not that the Mass Effect Legendary Edition set. Is that happening to you? Yeah, it's like, oh, I just got a few minutes. I'll finish this. I'll just finish up this planet. Oh shit, what happened? Ugh, I got school tomorrow. There is a mobile game that I had downloaded on my phone called the BALLs, B-A-L-L-Z.

Have you guys ever played this one? No. Is that what you, it's like you, go to sell other balls. Yeah. You have to like clear. We're okay, we're okay. We've got.

Clear different blocks and stuff like that with a ball. You should, it's really fun. But then it like fires like loads of them. You collect more balls this year. Yeah, yeah. And so like if you get to level 200, you got 200 balls with you that are just going, hey wire. But I would play that game on flights for the entire flight,

and it would be over so quickly, like a three and a half hour flight, I would just be playing that game. Well, that was a balls, did you get to? I think, I don't know. I didn't get very high, probably in like two or three hundreds. You get to the point where you do it, and it's like, oh my God, hurry up. Yeah, you just got to wait for the balls to go.

Yeah, very fun game. Has it been a resident evil or a mass effects kind of situation? Okay. I have only done this once, but I've only done this once, and all the times I promise myself I would, which is work on the plane.

Oh. Because I feel like we have as human beings, these grand notions of like, oh, I'll just get this done in transit. Or like, oh, I'll do some like writing or reading, like something productive on a flight. And then the second you sit down, all of that goes out the window.

Just like completely evaporates. Like, no, bring me a coke or a coffee, some drink, some pretzels, and I'm, you're gonna play Stardew Valley. I'm gonna look like a watch, I'm gonna watch that can justice league or whatever's like on the plane because that feels to me

just like a perfect plane movie. Oh yeah. There was a video that Gavin sent me a couple of weeks ago talking about how there's this resurgence in the thought of recreating supersonic transports. Like super, planes I go faster the speed of sound to get people You know across long flights very quickly and one of the points that they brought up where it's like

There's it these flights used to kind of rely a lot on business travelers whose time was very valuable and they wanted to cut down on the amount of time They were on the plane and out of communication But now that most planes have internet connectivity and you're not really out of communication You have like a laptop you can work on for hours on the flight you can be connected and still like doing everything you need to do It's not really as big of a deal to spend an extra two or three hours on a plane to warrant Spending ten times the cost on a plane ticket. Yeah, so it's a it's an interesting angle I hadn't thought about until until I saw that video Yeah, it's crazy how like

Cramped those concodes were. They're just like economy, but you were paying $20,000. $10,000 to fly it, you know, 900 miles an hour, or whatever it was. I think that's one of the big things is that big planes have like life flat seats, and then everyone was like,

well, I'm just gonna go to sleep, pay less. Yeah, you pay less. It takes a couple hours longer. Yeah. You'd be more comfortable. I've become obsessed with watching. I don't know what they're called. I guess like tours or like people who are flying first class

on some big airline. I love those videos. Yeah, where it's just like they show off like the cabin and all the features and the food and everything like that. I don't know why I'm blanking on like what that's called But one of them I think Emirates calls it like the sky apartment. Yeah It's like these like multi-thousand dollar plane tickets. I just don't like that. 30 thousand dollars It's like one of them the sky apartment is so big. It has two rooms Like you have like a living room with a couch and a TV

There's a your own bathroom with its own shower and then a bedroom on the other side of that. And they play the sound of neighbors having sex on the other side of the wall. Just a really immersive experience. They want you on the fly and you just lie in there and you're bed and then you're like, I'm gonna go to the living room.

Well, they say that I always like, think about is these people who spend, let's say it's 30k for this one ticket, which is obscene. Would you spend any of that time sleeping? Because I feel like if I'm going to spend that money on something, obviously, I would never spend $30,000 on a plane ticket that I would have to be insane. But live your bliss. I don't want to waste it. I want to have all the amenities. I want to get the whole experience. I don't wanna spend six out of the 10 hours I'm flying, sleeping.

I don't know. That's why I don't understand the point. That's why, because there's them and times where I've upgraded to business just with the miles I have. Yeah, because you fly a lot. Yeah. I flew a lot.

That's all I need. I need a bed that just goes back a little bit further. Yeah. And that's to me, I don't want a living room. I don't want a shower and shit. It's like, I just wanna go to sleep. That's the best thing you can do in a play. The problem I have is I'm at the maximum height for those lay flat beds. Like if you, if I get upgraded and I get in one of those beds and it's like, I do the full lay flat thing. My head is touching the very back and my

feet are touching like the very end of where it goes. And even then I can't put my feet straight up because they don't fit in that little Covey it's like I've got to kind of put them to the side. Yeah, so it's like I'm just barely Just barely fitting in there. Maybe the Apama's fee. Yeah I can't and I feel bad for anyone who's any taller than me trying to get good sleep in I just imagine I get me and the wife had a fight. She sent me to the couch on the display trying to get to sleep in my room. I just imagine I get me and the wife had a fight. She sent me to the couch on the display. I'm kidding.

Yeah. That is really how the couch. Yeah, I think there's even an old ratty comforter they give you to go like take out there. Oh god. That was that time. I think, oh, sorry, go ahead. No, you got it.

Well, I think I'm not sure if I told it. I probably told it on the podcast before. But it was when Bernie and I were flown to Austria for the special Olympics. And then, and because it was like paid for by another, like, we would guess, so they put us in business. Ooh. And I was like, hell yeah, because if you get a load of miles,

you only really fly business occasionally, and it's always on the same airline with who you've got the miles with. And if there's nothing available. Yeah, exactly. So this was like, uh, Austria or something that I never flies. So I was like, oh, that's exciting. But I was so tired

because we were there. We weren't there very long. I think we were there like two days. So I was like still kind of jet like from getting there. So on the flight back to Austin, I just sat down in this, you know, nice business seat. I was like, oh, yes, like a nine hour flight. This will be great. And then I woke up all up right as we were landing in Dallas. I wasted it. I was like I wasted it For you minutes I left I couldn't believe I fell asleep. I think before we even took off and I just stayed asleep upright

In a life like bed I was living oh my god If you woke up in your neck with someone, like, you know, an avoidable problem. Did you not even get to eat like the food? Didn't eat shit. Didn't eat shit. I sat the entire time. I was so tired.

Demanding all the amenities in the last 40 minutes. Like bring me all the meals. Give me all the meals and all the pillows, champagne. I don't know if that's worse or my first and only time flying business on an international flight to London. I had my feet out on the thing. I was like, this is nice.

The woman who was opposite to me, facing me, was getting out. So she had to go over my feet to get out. She steps over me, knees, my bloody Mary. That's on my tray. That proceeds to pour into my lap all over me and my only pair of clothes I have on that flight. And I was like, great, cool, awesome. Yep. And it's like it seeped into my seat cushion too. So I had to like put layers of something underneath me the whole time.

And she wasn't even apologetic. I think I told the story before, but she was just like, oh, let me go get someone. I'm sorry. Oh, let me get someone. It's like, what's the love sky murder? What jurisdiction does this fall under when there's a- I would have been apologizing the entire flight if I did something like that.

Oh, my, I would have bought- Hey, by the way, I'm really sorry. Just in case you didn't hear me the first eight times, I just want you to know. I'm gonna keep requesting little napkins to write. I'm sorry on and passing them back to you. Yeah. That should be treated like a car accident.

You should like get that person's details. That should be like flight insurance. You ruined that person's flight. That person was probably treating you like a car accident. So they didn't say they were sorry. They didn't want to amend your liability. Yeah. Oh gosh.

That's probably right. Absolutely. And yeah, I would have been like, I would have bought there like, get order something, get some snack pack, whatever I'll pay for it like, yeah, be true. I mean, the good thing about the business is that it's all included. So they couldn't really,

I'll buy you a drink, the free drinks that you guys get here. Yeah, I write one of my business flights and a different one when, cause usually I feel like they'll come around and offer you like subshampane or like orange juice or something for the non-drinkers. But for this flight, they were just handing out at the door. So I was like they'll come around and offer you like sub-champagne or like orange juice or something for the non-drinkers

But for this flight they were just handing out at the door. So I was like oh weird. Oh, okay Thanks, but I was like dragging my stuff and I got to my seat and I beat it. I was just like I just fumbled the drink like all over my seat and it was like the material where it seeps in a little and then but there's still enough Just like a smigapoo. So I I got my hoodie off, I was like, shit. And I'm about to sit in this seat for 10 hours. I was just mopping out with my hoodie. And in the end, I was like, we're going to take off. I have to sit in it.

I have to sit down. But it was us for the whole flight. Whole flight. Someone in charge, just an air travel talk on RT podcast, nature is healing. It sure is. This is the things I feel like now I want to travel. I want to go. It's been a year. I the things I feel like now I, I want to travel. I want to like go.

It's been a year. I want to like book a flight. So you're going to do something. Oh, yeah. I want to move. I want to move about the country. Yeah. Not sponsored by Selvete.

I can't wait to do another country. When that will be available. Who knows? Eventually someone got upset with us last week. We're talking about potentially visiting other countries. Oh. Because I mean, I guess we're talking about way down the line. When it's when it's safe.

Yeah, not being like, oh, where we going right now. Just because it's safe here doesn't mean it's safe other place. Yeah, for sure. I think we've all tried to be responsible over the last year. So and I think I think we're all still hopefully. Well, we don't want to pretend like we don't want to go to another country. I mean, I want to go, but we don't go it now. We're just talking about when it's when it's safe.

When it's of course, yeah, yeah. And well, I think it's not even like even if I wanted to go now, they're not letting people Yeah, you can't for the most part as I know. But love to be able to go visit my family in Canada at some point soon. That'd be nice. I'm for a year and a half. I want to visit your family. I'm your family in Canada. Yeah, I'm sure you're saying you'll find one so your family in Canada at some point soon. That'd be nice. I've been in them for a year and a half. I want to visit your family in Canada. I know, I want to visit the family in Canada. Yeah, I'm sure you'd say you'll find one so you're family in the UK. Canada has the highest per capita vaccination now, I think. Yes, I think I saw that same chart that you did,

which they were having some trouble for a really long time, getting supply. Yeah, I think it's like, you know, Canada number one in Germany number two, I want to say, I don't remember off the top of my head. Yeah, I think the US was number five. I don't know if it's like Canada number one in Germany number two. I want to say I don't remember off the top of my head Yeah, I think there's still five. I don't know if it's changed They'll probably change as they get more and more supply But they're doing like three to four months in between doses for people there Just because they want to get as many people with the first dose as possible. It's an interesting strategy

Tell them to come down here. We got a lot of vaccines apparently going on you We're up to fucking here with vaccines. We're just coming out of our years. There was a state of Ohio now has a lottery. Yeah. We're gonna give away $1 million a week for five weeks to people who get the vaccine. Oh, an incentive?

Yeah, just like if you get the vaccine, you're automatically entered into this lottery. Insane. You buy one a million dollars. Absolutely insane. Just like we have to incentive a, I just, it's yeah, it's worth it. Buddy.

It's from the perfect look of defeat on your face. Yeah. Yeah. I had, I set myself up for failure in doing something again the other day. I think I told you guys this, that I tried to go see that electric Ford vehicle a few weeks ago. And like I looked on the website and they said they had it on the lot and I went to the lot and they didn't have

it. They said like whatever. So the other day I was driving down the road and I saw a billboard for like the Volkswagen electric vehicle. Yeah. I was like, Oh, I'd like to see that. So I did the same thing again. I went on like the Volkswagen website and I found a billboard for like the Volkswagen electric vehicle. Yeah. And I was like, oh, I'd like to see that. So I did the same thing again. I went on like the Volkswagen website and I found a dealership here in town. It's like, they've got two in stock. And I was like, what are the odds? Let's do this again. Yep.

So I went into out of the dealership. They had one. They actually had one. Hey, I couldn't test drive it. Okay. It was inside like it was like on the showroom floor. Bulletproof loose side glass. Yeah. But I could actually look at it and touch it. Okay. It was inside. Like it was like on the showroom floor. Bulletproof loose side glass. Yeah. But I could actually look at it and touch it. And, um, like, starting up, there's no emissions. Like, like,

it's full of started wagon. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's one of these ports just like always on. Like, it's always ready to go. Um, and the guy was like, these salesperson like, you know, he can't test drive it. It's in here. So I boat, we're gonna be getting more soon, you know, come back and you can, you can test drive one. I was like, oh, really? like, you can't test drive it, it's in here. So I thought we were gonna be getting more soon, come back and you can test drive one. I was like, oh really? I said, and I told him, I said, I told him the fourth, I was like, I tried to see the Ford electric vehicle

and they said they've only got like five ever. Like they don't get any. And the guy was like, yeah, we should be getting a 20 or 30 in the next month. So I'm gonna come back by and see us like, okay, you know, a lot of car manufacturers are having trouble making cars these days because of like chip shortages and stuff.

So he said, maybe that's why they're not making any of the Ford ones. He's just like, yeah, we'll have plenty of here. Come back by and see it. So I look forward to eventually driving that car. And test it out. Oh, the Ford. What are you driving at, Luca?

What? I hope I hold a YouTube ad. If you're ready for that point, you can put where it is I think. Yeah, where are we? We're like 53 minutes. 54? Yeah, yeah.

It was a nice car. The Volkswagen ID4. I'm glad to see more electric vehicles coming out and they're becoming more readily available. But as part of like, manufacturers, like part of their lineups, like part of their flagship. It's not just like some, oh yeah, we make it,

it's over there. No one Bob in accounting knows about it. Let me get him. I'll talk to you about it. He's got a leaf or something like, we will be right back. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. What are the, I'm trying to think like so forwards coming out with their like, the big one. I think like trying to do an electric truck. Like that's there. Yeah, that's a bummer. There's going to be an electric hummer, which seems bizarre. I don't know.

It's that cyber truck. Let's know. Yeah, Tesla's making that cyber truck. There's another company called Rivian that's making a truck. And I think there's other, I don't know, I don't know if like the main truck is like the Ford F-150 or the Chevy Silverado. I don't know if they have electric versions coming out, but you're starting to see it more and more.

Yeah, I'm wondering like, I, because in the beginning, when like electric cars, but hey, that's the electric hammer. Whoa. That's a, that's a car. That sure. I think that's going to start coming out later this year, if I remember right. I can't say that I think that's a good looking car.

Have you seen the cyber truck? Yeah, that's true. I mean, what hummus look really? Yeah, I don't think that's very similar to top. I think the cyber truck. Yeah, that's true. I mean, what hummus look really? Yeah, I don't think that's very similar to a hummus. Two Shay. Yeah, I don't, you know, the most defensive part of that right there? The rims.

Look, get that at it. Get that church collection plate. Bullshit. Yeah, you're so terrible. Get those off it. Who is it? In chat, Pink Floyd 95 says there's the F-150 Lightning. So apparently.

Ooh. They are coming out. Well, that's exciting because I feel like, you know, when electric cars first started hitting the market, it was, like me with all technology, I feel like it's like, all right, we got it. And it's got limited features and you can go this far. And it's like, it's cool because it's new,

but the utility of it is very limited. And I feel like now we're finally reaching a really cool point when we're like, oh yeah, we can make like powerful electric that a lot of utility and can do a lot of it. They have a decent range. A decent range and stuff like that. So that's like, I think that is exciting because now we'll have vehicles that will be zero emissions and we'll actually have some utility to them. And it's, I mean, it's, it's, if for no other reason,

the thing I was hated about conventional vehicles is putting gas in them, just because you have to deal with people like inevitably, you go to a gas station, you're putting gas to your car, like someone's gonna come up to you or someone's gonna try to talk, you know, I hate talking to people. I don't, I don't know if I've ever really had to talk to people.

When our studio was downtown, I used to have to fill up all the time at the one, at the gas station there, like 35 and 6th street or 7th street. And I just hated having to stop there all the time. Or at least even people like, before years ago, I remember one time I stopped at a gas station off of like MoPak and Far West. And some dude tried to still sell me steaks

out of the back of his truck. Oh. It's like you've run into weird shit. Like it's just, I want to minimize my opportunity to have other services that you could just have people come by and fill your coffee. It's triple A. Well, like they bring the gas in a plastic bag.

Yeah, when people when I see people like putting gas, like hoarding gas and like Tupperware shit, I was wondering how are they going to get it out of there? What do you mean? What is the car? Right, like you had, like are they just gonna like pour in? Tupperware container full of gasoline.

How do you get that into your car? Like how do you use that? Get host, get a siphon in. Siphon in. I'm like, these little Tupperware things. Well, so it doesn't make it go bad. You can't store that for very long. I think it does go stay a little after a while.

If, yeah, I think the gas definitely does go bad. I think it does go stay a while. I think it does go stay a while. Yeah, I think the gas definitely does go bad. I think it, oh yeah, like the, the, the, it becomes resin. It's very, and it clogs up engines. But I think like it also, it stays, if you keep it out of sunlight. So in a tupperware container, that shit's going bad a lot faster. I do believe that like the, So put your flex tape around the tupperware. There you go. You can keep it in the- So put your flex tape around the top of the way. There you go.

Keep in the fridge. Keep in the fridge. Cold mailbox. How many references can we make in one box? Let's do all of them. There was a funnel. Everyone, funnel, funnel, funnel, funnel. Funnel?

Oh, yeah, that makes sense. I feel like you can spill it. You're gonna lose a lot in the process. You're gonna lose a lot in the process. You're gonna lose a lot in the process. You're gonna lose a lot in the right angle. You're gonna lose a lot in the right angle. You're gonna lose a lot in the right angle. We should do an experiment. We should try to do this.

We absolutely should, guys. I'm right there with you. I'm sorry, just because you and I are Simpson's fans, I just like I'm picturing the like Homer's pile of sugar. That is really, that's what it's like, echoing in my mind is just like a big, a kitty pool full of gasoline. First you get the gas, then you get the power, then you get the power.

Then you get the power Women Blame give you this little gift give me like a little quickie mark So Barbara yeah, as far as wearing it. He's found a board one though. He did I have a board one Just the most voices on the Simpsons. It's Hank is our it might be Hank Azaria. It's Hank or Casanlera, one of the two mains. Yeah, Dan Casanlera. Yeah.

It's a good show. I've started watching Simpsons with Trevor because he never really watched it growing up and it is right up his alley for humor. He's like, how did I never watch this growing up? I'm just glad I get to experience it with you now. I can't imagine watching that stuff for the first time. We're like, it being new to you. It really makes you realize that show has a joke

literally every five seconds. It's delicious. It's non-stop. There's always something funny. Yeah. In terms of joke per minute ratio, it's the highest of probably of any sitcom probably of all time Just like yeah, if you're not averaging like five to six jokes a page or you're you're fucking garbage

You're garbage get out of here know the uh I've been watching newer Simpson's episodes like recent ones in the past like few years like season 30 like season 30 episodes like recent ones in the past like few years like season 30 like season 30 there's still amazing jokes in the show still crack me up there was one like I watched one from the other night where like because you know there's others I'll Homer reads in bed with this little half-moon glasses a lot that's like a classic classic and he was reading about he was reading a book called How to Read a Book in Bed wow that's it that's my kind of joke I love it how to read a book in bed. See, it's just like, man, yeah, I haven't seen it in

so long. And I guess the more time that passes, the less, the lower the percentage of episodes I've seen, uh, sharing that still making it. Because it's still going on. Yeah. Yeah. So there in season 35. No, this would be 32. 32. Yeah. I could remember because it's one year older than me. Ish. Yeah. Oh, oh, my life. Yeah. It's the fillings in my mouth.

Yeah. Christ. Yeah, it's a, it's a long time. Yeah, every now and then, I don't watch it regularly. I don't watch the new episodes regularly. But every now and then, I'll put one on. It's like, oh yeah, like, you know, maybe it doesn't take a week quite the same as it did

when I was younger or some of the older episodes, but it's still like, every now and then, like, wow, that is really fucking funny. It's such a good show. Yeah, they've had some legs. I wanna do a test with you, Andrew, because I think, I would say you're probably the biggest incenseins fan at Ruchertice that I know of at least.

And I want to do this with friends for you, Gavin. I want to play an episode without you looking, start from the start and see how quickly you could identify which episode it is without seeing. Oh, by the number? Or just like what happens in that episode. Yeah. Not necessarily season or number, but what is the plot of this episode? I bet I could do it. We might fall asleep, yeah.

Uh, yeah, those those are the ones that like they burn in. They burn in. They're hardwired. They go, they go straight to the straight to the, uh, if I can hard drive, they were on there forever. Yeah, I, uh, we did that before, uh, I don't know, did it ever, I don't think it ever came out. I don't think we ever came out, but I think, oh, years ago, at this point, it truly is. Now, years ago, when we were in the bungalow, was it, it was, rising it, right? He was the one, yeah.

He was, he wanted, he picked Gus and I against each other on like playing a clip, like a sound bite from Simpsons episodes to see who could name, like, or complicit the joke. It was like a second, it was like a sound bite from Simpsons episodes to see who could name like it was like second. It was like a second out of an episode. I'd be like what episode is this sound bite from? Wow. It was fucking tough.

So why didn't it come out? Andrew beat me. Is that why didn't come out? Yeah, I was like kill it in this. Never put this out. I'm curious. I think we were gonna try to do like a number of them and just like never got around to doing more. I don't were gonna try to do like a number of them and just like never got around to doing more.

I don't know why I never came out. I feel like there was like, yeah, it was part of like, I mean, maybe now's the time. I feel like there was like a, it was like part of like a series of just like, oh, like it was kind of like a super fan contest. Like, you know, again, maybe they would have done one with friends or something

or like, okay, how quickly can you do this? And it's just like, oh, we play you like a little clip. And, you know, maybe that's still how it's life. Maybe that's still how it's life. It's interesting to Simpson's because it's, because it's been going on so long and the characters don't ever age.

It's like, do the older episodes just not work? Like, do the problems the middle-aged men have or like a schoolboy have, even apply now? Well, it's also like, they've retconned, this is the worst, in my opinion, the worst part of the sentence, when they try to retcon origin stories,

or they try to retcon the past, like in the later seasons, there were stories about homework and march being younger in high school. In the 90s. In the 90s. I've seen that episode. Yeah.

It's like, it doesn't work. This isn't right. Why did I do that. And like, like, Homer is like in a grunge band. Yeah. It's like, wait, no, so much weird than just having them at the age when they started and just saying that they're old. Like, yeah. Well, it is also, it is a cold mirror to look into when you realize that I am older than Homer is in the show. How much of a holiday is this in the show? Homer is 35 or 36 canonically in the show and I am now at that age or a little bit older. Well, you look better than he does. That's for a genius.

That's for a genius. That's for a genius. That's for a genius. Get your Billy. Also, over time, things have changed. Homer's weight has changed. Like in earlier seasons, they show like his driver's license already talks when he's trying to put on the weight

to go on disability. I think he says his weight is 250. But then, like, later, it's like, you know, he's like 300. It's like his, his, his, the base, Homer weight, like the number you think of is changed. Like, what you, what people, I think, mentally think of as like a larger person has changed over time.

I think it's scaled up. Unless the gravity is getting stronger. I don't think of is like a larger person has changed over time. I think it's scaled up. Unless the gravity is getting stronger. I don't think so. I don't think that's the case. Interesting. Oh, what? That's not the case. It's also like looking at Homer.

And he's like, he's supposed to be a fat guy in the show. They make reference to that all the time. But like, he's not a fat character. Like, he's got the beer belly and stuff like that, but it's pretty average size compared to the rest of the characters. And so it's like, is he supposed to be like this huge super fat dude that they portray him to be? So we're almost at the point where the first episode could have had Homer as a newborn.

Yeah. Now if he was aging correctly, he would be almost Homer. Right. Right. In a four more years, he would have been 36. Yeah. We're sold. Yeah.

No, it's wild stuff. It's wild stuff. And the newer episodes too, I feel like I've been going while I back and watching the newer seasons, later seasons. And it is incredible how, when you're on the air for 36 years, for almost 36, when you're on the air for 36 years, for almost 30 years, when you're on the air that long, like they recycle a lot of plots, like a lot of like plot elements.

Like, Mose has been, Mose has been about 12 different businesses. Like there's a season, there's like seasons where it's just like, oh, like I'm turning this place into, like it turns into a gay bar at one point. Yeah. And like, I think in that episode, they make reference to how even before that, it had been like six other things. Like I think the first time it changed was when he turned it

into the Uncle Most Family Feedback. That's the first time. That's the most here I am. Yeah. Take the fries they're very hot. Yeah, like that was the first time it changed. But then like over the seasons, like it was the most of it about different things.

Mar just started her own business like seven or eight times different things. So like, yeah, you're on that long, you kind of like go back to this, go back to Wells frequently. And you know what, still damn funny. So great, still funny. So what condition are the older ones in? They like HD, can they even,

okay, you raise a really good question. They're on Disney Plus now. And when Disney Plus launched, maybe you could only watch them punch it in 16 by nine. Right, which you was saying, like destroyed some of the jokes. You missed some jokes, yeah. Jokes are off screen sometimes.

You can toggle in the settings to go back to four, three. However, I suspect that some of the episodes have been modified and are not original. Cause sometimes I know there are jokes missing. Like, the Mandela effect, there. No, I have the DVD. And if I go put the DVD in, I'm like, there's the joke, it's not in the streaming version.

Like, I don't know if it's, no wait, I think about, I don't know if that's the case on Disney Plus, but I know that's the case on reruns, on television. I know on television. I've seen it's like, they're missing this joke, they're missing this joke, because it missing this joke. It's definitely missing. I haven't verified a Disney Plus if that's the case or not.

I don't know if they cut the Disney Plus versions jokes out of those, I haven't noticed it. Certainly, I definitely know, they have always cut jokes out of syndicated versions for time to add more commercials. They've done that. Well, there's also speed it up. Like there's that guy who played that video of Seinfeld showing that TBS speed Seinfeld up like 4%

Sure, so you get more ads in there. Yeah, they put one more commercial break. Yeah Like the do they have any does Jerry Seinfeld have any say over that surely? That's like really encroaching on the creative vision of your show of everyone's four percent. It's like you know, it's imperceivable Yeah, really it really is. Everyone up of your show of everyone's four percent. It's like, you know, it's imperceivable. Yeah. Really? It really is. It really is. It really is.

It really is. I don't know how they do it, but you really can't, unless, unless you, you can look it up on YouTube. You can find a video of like the original and the 4% faster version. It's like, oh, right, it is drifting. It's getting off. But if you're just watching on TV, you really can't tell.

If you don't have like that frame of reference. I mean, I guess it's the same with like, Paul and NTSC from American shows. Signed Phil, sped up. Rewritten, I'm gonna see, I came up before, I'm gonna tell my, it's 7.5%. That's a lot.

Wow. That feels, that feels perceptible. Like, I feel like if I had just an audio recording, any audio recording sped up, listening to it before, and I guess if you don't have the before and after, you might be able to perceive it, but still 7% feels like something's off about this. It'd be like a 30 kilohertz tone that just makes you feel off.

So something's wrong with this. I hate when new versions of stuff remove stuff. Like, one of my favorite Jackie Chan movies is a kid, I had on DVD, I don't have the VHS probably. But the aspect ratio is, you know, I've probably like, film aspect ratio. I got it on Blu-ray recently, so I was like, I wanna watch this movie again.

It's 16 by nine, which means it is now HD, but the sides of the edges are missing. Yeah. So I was like, would it be weird to put the DVD edges on the sides of my blue face so that like the edges on HD, but I can still see everything. And I'm really going down a hole of like,

how pure do I want this? Also how can you even do that? Give another bigger TV behind your TV? Yeah, so it's just that amount of life. I'm just doing final cut of something. I'll just rip them and do it, but. Wow. Do it. I'll amount left. I was just doing final cut or something. I'll just rip them and do it. Wow. Do it.

I'll do it. I'll do it. I'm gonna have standard depth sides on my Jackie Chan movie. It's your peripheral vision. It's not as sharp. You want me to do it? Yeah.

Sure. Oh god, that's good. I just like picture it like, they spent you up before, they spent me up before, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, seven percent, seven percent.

I saw a comment when we had our first RT podcast back in studio a few weeks ago. There was a comment that was like, it feels like I'm watching this on double speed. Because we were so excited to be back and also like not having that audio delay, like we were all just like talking really fast. Like we're talking like people on TikTok.

Talking like people on TikTok. Yeah, they just talk really fast to some reason. Everything on people on TikTok. Talking like people on TikTok. Yeah, they just talk really fast to some reason. Oh yeah. Everything on TikTok is fast. I can't stand it. Sometimes. That generation Z, they're all, they're, they're fast talkers. It's like, it's like the educational ones,

where it's like you try to cram all the information in, but it's like, I want, fly that. Yeah. I'm not taking it in any better. You just, I'm just going to go back. I guess it's like, they got a minute. I'm going to have a minute to get it in. Although now, a TikTok apparently could do up to three minutes,

which without the ability to scrub feels like a nightmare. Because like, you can't scrub on TikTok, you have to be on the cars. If you're missing, you got to rewatch. Yeah, so I have that app. So you're complaining about Gen Z, is anybody here is a geriatric millennial, right? The new term, oh, are you?

I think. What is it? Is it, oh, are you? I think. What is it? Is it born between 80 and 85? I was born in 84. Geriatric millennial. Yeah, look at these, look at these gray sideburns. Look at this, this is the geriatric millennial coming in. Oh, thank you.

You, baby. I like that. In all of this, my gen X has just been totally forgotten. Everyone just forgets, it's like, I'm either lumped in with the boomers or I'm lumped in with millennials. It's like, Gen X never existed. Unless you watch Survivor where there was a Gen X versus millennials season.

Mm. Where, yeah. I gotta check that one. It was very insulting. It's so forced though. That's really hard to do this. Do this right. It's like, you know, you're talking to this right. It's like, uh, you know,

you're talking to the blood, you're like, Oh, you're from the generation where you get participation medals. You watch this like that your generation gave us. Yeah. Like, what do you think is giving them participation? Yeah, it's a, it's funny because I don't know if you guys know Mari Takahashi from Smosh, or currently, I don't know. She was on that season, which was very strange to see someone you knew on a season of survivor. It takes you out of it really quick. But it was kind of like watching Bernie on the amazing review.

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. That's so rare. That's so rare. That's so rare. That's so rare. I don't know why. Maybe because I don't watch a lot of amazing race, I just watched his season, but because I watched so much Survivor,

seeing someone I knew on a season was like, I can't just watch some like, do anything on this without thinking that I know them. I, I, I, it drives me crazy. I, I know we always talk about these reality shows, these older reality shows now at this point, but it always drives me crazy whenever there's someone from Survivor or Big Brother on an amazing race. Oh yeah. reality shows these older reality shows now at this point, but it always drives me crazy whenever there's someone from

Survivor or big brother on amazing race. Oh, yeah, you already won your show I just saw sorry. I just saw someone in the chat say Andrew looks so tired. Thank you What a kind of what a kind of thing to say viewer I am tired. What do you look like? I mean we're on. What do you look like? What do you look like right now? I mean, we're on a... That's the picture of what you look like, for some who said that. I feel like that's the... For some reason, the most acceptable insult that's not bad. It's not like, it's not like you look ugly or you like shit,

but it's people that say, you look tired. And that means you've looked better. That used to, whenever we used to go to conventions, they used to always drive, make a 64 crazy. Whenever someone would walk by the booth, they'd be like, you guys look tired. They'd be like, go, go.

Because it's tired, I mean, being in the booth all day long for like. Not even being in the booth, just being on. Yeah, like all those days. Yeah, yeah. Because it's, you know, it takes energy to be a likeable person sometimes. So like, if you're just like being on,

that takes a lot out of you. I know, I saw some just like being on, that takes a lot out of you. I know I saw some of them, sometimes when that happens, they just like leave. Like they just like walk out of the booth, like I can't right now. I gotta go walk around, I'll be back. My favorite is because Rucherti and Meg 64 were always next to each other at every convention.

People would often go to that booth asking where certain Rucherti's people were. Where's Bernie? Is that, what is one of you Bernie? What was tough for us too, because we had to listen to Eric all day, which is a freaking out. And now we have to listen to him even more.

Yeah, baby. Yeah. On cue. I was gonna say so. And some compliments now in chat, by the way. What? Oh, hey now. Hey now.

Come on. Be, oh, that's a sweet You look fire. Oh these oh man these the beers cover up my my blushing that's happening I I Think I think that a generational discourse is is both hilarious and Completely pointless because it's like we're all on we're it's like we're all fucked. Like we're all on the same boat, right? Like it doesn't change.

Like we're all the spider men pointing at each other. Like it's your fault. We should all be pointing at the boomers. That's every, really, that's what it boils down to. That's all this manipulation. It's their fault. Yeah, I feel comfortable. I feel comfortable dumping out,

voicing that on their shoulders. We can do that. But like it's for us, like, Gen X is interesting because it gets, you know, I think it does get forgotten in a weird way because it's just so funny how like, from what I remember back kind of growing up

and my friends who were a little bit older and in the kind of Gen X, I feel like that generation just like, was told like, you're gonna be rock stars. That was like the generation of like, no I'm serious, there was this kind of like disaffected kind of like too cool to care, kind of like Gen X thing of being like the 80s and 90s of just, you know,

like being just kind of disaffected youth of the 90s. Yeah, it was like an anti-establishment, like, theme through it all. Yeah, and then like, but like, now Gen X has homes and kids because that was the last generation that that was like, possible for a lot of people. It's just like, Gen X was like, oh yeah,

all the people that I know now, like, have like, kids and homes and stuff like that and like, are like living life and like kind of yeah just weirdly skated by I'm getting a lot of the I think that's why they get forgotten because I think they shut up about it. I think it's like there was a lot of like we're going to take the system down and like the boomers telling them like oh Jen X is going to ruin the world and then Jen X's like oh no we just got to play this game like we just got to like get ours and shut the fuck up. And then that's like, everyone forgot them.

They went straight from Boomer's to Millennial. Yeah. Gen X just like, Homer Simpson into the bushes. Yeah. I was like, I got my house, I got my kids. The generations talked about as much as they are now. What's that? Back in the day.

Was that even... I remember so many fucking like, new pearl clutching new stories about how Gen X was gonna ruin the economy and ruin the world and there were a bunch of slackers who were up to no good. There was a lot of that man. There are a lot of that pearl clutching like new a lot of new stories of just like it's called rock and roll and it could be killing your kids like there was like so many like punk rock is coming for your children. What was the meme about millennials?

Like we're spending, we can't buy a house is because we're spending too much on avocado toast or something like that. What was that whole article? I don't remember where it originated, but yeah, I remember people talking about that. She's like, we buy avocado toast therefore cannot afford homes.

That's right. Like maybe the problem is with the housing market then. Yeah, and the inability to get good paying jobs. homes. That's right. Like maybe the problem is with the housing market then. Yeah. And it's an ability to get good paying jobs. And you know, stagnating wages and the fact that the minimum wage has an increased commissary with rate of inflation in the past 40 years. Maybe. Maybe it's nothing of a cautotest causing the problems. New. Okay. It allows the avocado test. We need something to heal these wounds. We need to feel good about something. I need to taste something delicious.

Get some flex tape on there. Is this where it came from the Guardian? I think Tyler just sent me an article. Millionaire tells millennials, if you want a house, buying avocado toast. Australian millionaire Tim Garner. That's the one.

Millionaire given, fuck off. It was an Australian 60 minutes program. Is what came from it looks like. Did you see that? Thank you, Carla. The New York mayoral race is, Oh, God. Did you see?

Okay, so you know what I'm going to, you know what I'm going to say? I don't know about it. So they, okay, the New York mayoral race is happening currently. Someone wants to be in charge of that, that nest. And so they're, they're, they're fighting it out. They're going to, they're going to see who's going to be

the next mayor of New York City. We should ask them the question. Oh, okay. We'll ask them the question. Oh, okay. We'll ask you the question that they asked, like I think the seven or eight people who are like the who are trying to who wants to be mayor of New York City. Which is, yes, do you want to take this?

You have the, or do you have the, I'm gonna read the, I'm gonna try to find the exact question that was phrased. That's, please do that. Yes, but in, so there's, I think there's like seven or eight people that want, that are in the, in the mayor's race for New York. Okay. Okay. And they asked all of them this question in the year of our Lord at

2021 about New York's last week, last week. Do you know the median sales price for a home in Brooklyn? The median sales price for a home Brooklyn. Yes. I'm gonna guess 650,000. Okay, Gavin, do you have a guess? For like a house. That's the entire context. Do you know the median sales price for a home in Brooklyn? I would guess 800 grand. Both of you did well.

Very well. It's 900,000. Okay. median price for a home in Brooklyn. with Grant. Both of you did well. Very well. It's 900,000. Okay. Median. Median price for home and Brooklyn. Well, I was just thinking like, what is like just to have everyone's reach? Yeah.

What is like, firmly screwing over everyone. I was like, probably around that. You're close. You're close. Inachievable. You should find out what Sean Donovan and Raymond McGuire thought it was What did they think it was a $100,000

In Brooklyn, huh, I don't know for sure Sean Donovan blah blah said I would guess it is around a hundred thousand dollars The guests from Raymond J. McGuire and investment banker blah blah blah. It has got to be somewhere in the 80 to $90,000 range, if not higher. So six figures, sub six figures. The only person who guessed correctly was Andrew Yang at 100,000, but I mean other people were closer. Yeah, there are other people, but there are like at least three or people on that list that are like, do you need to see a doctor?

Like you have you been kicked by some sort of mule or horse when you said, like, they must have misunderstood the quote. They must have. One of them tried to clarify this said to say, like, oh, I thought you meant what is the average appraisal for a home, but it's like, no, no, the question is very clear. What is the median sales price? Also, could you buy a house anywhere in this country

for under no, that's $100,000. I mean, I'm sure you could if like you're in a very like Unpopulated area and it's like an old place, but like maybe you could buy land in an unincorporated area. Yeah, sure You're typically not buying a house in New York area in yeah in Brooklyn in Brooklyn, New York, New York For $80,000 New York for $80,000. The word out of touch don't even kind of begin to describe it. That's where I'm like, I think you might be unwell because that is the most insane thing.

I don't think you could, a house in Brooklyn hasn't cost $80,000 in 90 years. I'm like, you're a kid. Like there's just inconceivable. Inconceivable, the doubt. How could you be that like, you're here. Like there's, there's just, inconceivable, inconceivable that doubt. How could you be that, like, and I want to run the city. I would. Like even people who aren't buying houses

and typically know what the houses are going for. Yeah, you're telling me, take. You're telling me these psychos, these absolute ice chewing lunatics aren't looking at Zillow, like everyone else during their work day, they aren't idly-ly like, oh let me just see how much of the houses are here. Or have they purchased houses before? Exactly.

If you're curious, here is what $100,000 can actually get you in Brooklyn. And just as a heads up, it's not much. This is what we're adding in it. For exactly $95,000, you can have yourself a studio in the Cypress Hills neighborhood of Brooklyn, perched above a Mexican restaurant, but you wouldn't be able to even view the home before putting in an offer. Yep What That I even bothering it would be the kind of thing where it's like Studio apartment

See a $95,000 home and they're just gonna be like yes I'll take it just as ad to cut on the pitch By now okay by now. Okay. Yeah, that's absolutely insanity. I wonder what like what is the most, is San Francisco the most expensive in this country? Maybe, man. I haven't seen highest home price. I know vanku. Oh, it's not this country, but vanku is very expensive as well. Yeah, well, London's expensive. London's also expensive. It looks like it's according to rocket mortgage. It looks like it's according to Rocket Mortgage,

it looks like it is San Francisco with a median sales price of $1.3 million. median. Yes. Holy fuck. And that's like for a fine place to live. Right. For a fine place to live.

But like, yeah, those like 95,000, I mean, those are like, maybe condemnable. Like borderline, like, yeah, those like 95,000, I mean, those are like, but maybe condemnable. Like borderline, like, it's gonna be like 300 square feet, maybe, you know, like 200, like super tiny. It's what you can get for $100,000 in New York, away from me, give me the money.

Yeah, right now, San Francisco Manhattan, San Jose, Bethesda, Maryland, surprise. Brooklyn, number five on the list. Where's LA on that list? LA's number six Bethesda Maryland isn't that That's like all like government workers, right? That's like really close to a lot of like the I believe so The DC stuff. Yeah, I believe so the DC stuff. Yeah. I believe so. Geez. That's godly. I saw that. I saw that that inner there, you know, that article where they asked those people the question and it like I had to walk away from my phone like I just like put

it down like I you mean you're a hundred thousand dollar phone. Yeah. Just reminding me of the rest of development like how much does a banana cost? $20. It's like it's a banana Michael. What could it cost? $10? Oh, she died recently, didn't she? Yeah. Yeah, just go altars.

Queen, absolute the best. So funny in that show. Set. Not to get away from that topic, but just before we get too far away from the housing stuff, could you look up what the median house pricing is in Vancouver? I'm just curious.

Be seen. Absolutely. Because that place is in Vancouver. I'm just curious. Yes, absolutely. Because that place is apparently ridiculous. $1.26 million. But is that Canadian or American? That is a great question. This is a Canadian website. So I'm going to say that it's Canadian. Okay, so 1.26.

Carry the one. I'm just pretending I can do currency conversion to man. It is. Well, just over a million US dollars, one million 43,000 US dollars. Vancouver is gorgeous. I have never been there. I've only been there once, but it's really nice.

It's yeah, I mean, it's like, I mean, because it is the Pacific Northwest. So it's like, you know, beautiful nature, the trees, like super gleaming, clean, like nice city, city of glass. Like it's just like so, it's beautifulaming clean, like nice city of glass. Like it's just like so, it's beautiful, beautiful city. But it is expensive. Very expensive.

And aside from like signs in kilometers, I feel like it was, and some things, some things, not very many, but a couple of things in French, like it was like, oh no, this just feels like Portland or like the North of the North. But at first, and then very nice. Do these people who thought it was a hundred grand or 80 grand?

And these the same people who set minimum wage for the problem. Oh, no, this is a mayor. So he's not, there's some minimum wage doesn't happen on like a city based. I think there can be, I think typically it's rotated by the state. I think cities maybe can try to dictate their own. I think maybe Seattle hasn't done that. But I think typically it's set by the state. I think cities maybe can try to dictate their own. I think maybe Seattle has done that. But I think typically it's it's set by the state. They should just make minimum wage 10 times higher in Brooklyn just just to help out because

nobody knows what they're doing apparently. I want to look like I feel like I feel like I honestly don't know this because I'm just not plugged in with most of the civics of a normal city, but especially New York, what does the mayor do? What does the mayor do? Attends like ball. I just assume like attends balls, gala, cut ribbons.

Cut ribbons get fitted for sashes of different sizes and things. I would assume always up some grizzled cops ass. That's what mayor's doing. He's always up the chief of police's ass for all the property destruction. Yep, there you go. Yep.

We're basing everything off of Simpson's. Yeah. Mayor Quimmy. I think that's sash is cutting off an opportunity. Yeah. He's all we're gonna do. Alright, well let's go ahead and wrap this up. Time flies when we're having fun.
