Should we call this a couples counseling podcast? This might turn into couples therapy.
Starting point is 00:00:43 We don't know. Not God. Anyway, we want it. All kinds of hangry already. We want to thank our sponsors for the Thursday podcast. We have Boomerang, Bombus, and Link A.K.C. Talk more about them in a little bit. How are you doing, Ashley?
Starting point is 00:00:58 I'm hungry. Are you? I'm so hungry. I'm just going to explain what this is, why we're well hydrated and why we're hungry. Yeah, neither of those things are normal for us. We're doing a whole 30 for September. So for the month of September,
Starting point is 00:01:10 we're trying to eat this whole 30 diet, which consists of basically, you take the food that you eat, and then you remove all the fun stuff, and then you eat what's left. Basically, anything that you can't pronounce, you can't eat, so. Well, but it's not just that, because you'd be like sort of chlordium glutamite, and like,
Starting point is 00:01:29 sure, you can't have that, but you also, there's no sugar, like no added sugar, so you can have fruit, but you can't have, like, you can't have honey, because that's basically just fruit. It's pretty much it. Yeah, you can have fruit. And you also can't have any sugar substitutes. You're nuts because that's some campground. Right, no splinters, no sping debis, nothing else.
Starting point is 00:01:49 No sparitames. No wheat, no grains of any kind. That includes rice. Big no diet. No. Dairy? No dairy. And I love cheese.
Starting point is 00:02:02 I know you do. I love it so much. Cheese and bread are gone. It's like literally like 50% of my diet. No, Gary. And I love cheese. I know you do. I love it so much. Cheese and bread are gone. It's like literally like 50% of my diet. It is. Because all, you know, the thing is I always get cheese.
Starting point is 00:02:10 I mean, this is delicious. I will eat with crackers. And this was something that I just have fruit. We make fun of Sophie for this all the time. And Sophie was starting it. I don't know what happened. She was in my office and saying she was just about to start it. I was like, it was the day before. The day before she was like, oh, I'm like, we were making a plan for lunch.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Just something and she's like, I can't. I'm doing whole-fair tea. I'm aware of both. Like, well, what's that? And we both decided to do it. Then day before she started. I mostly just see if like, I wanted to see if I could, if I could do it. If I could beat, like, beat Sophie. Well, so, and then you got on board. Bernie, well Bernie comes home and he says, I wanna do this whole 30 thing. I said, I support you. I'm gonna go up. There you go.
Starting point is 00:02:49 I'm a good co-op buddy. You know what, you wanna do this? I will do it with you. That way we can do it together and we can support each other. And then I found out what it was. I just, I wanna say look, I feel like I'm not gonna claim any responsibility for this.
Starting point is 00:03:00 You're in this for yourself. I feel like I'm tied to this. This is tough. This is. It's all tough. This is it's all Sophie's fault It's all it's all Sophie's fault, right? Yeah pretty much everything is her fault Right, but we're not doing the coconut oil in her hair or the alcohol Wait, that's another part of this. We're not gonna like we're not doing the oil training no activated silver treatments or anything Although there is part of this which I don't't- What's oil training? She doesn't wash her hair. Oh, we get so many to come talk to.
Starting point is 00:03:27 In that case, I'm like oil trained up. But we, and then she puts coconut oil in it like every fifth day. She talks about this, we're Sophie, Sophie around. Why does she talk about this stuff? Like it's so cool. She doesn't wash it and then put it all in. Because she does this stuff. Oh, they're Sophie.
Starting point is 00:03:42 Sophie, come over here we can see you though. Okay. Where do you want her? I'll go guide you. okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, six, one. What's oil training? There you go. Oil training, it's like the no poo movement. What's the no poo movement? That sounds terrifying. No shampoo. Oh. Okay, yeah, that got better than the morning's October. I've given up poo.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Yeah, no poo. Yeah, you try to not wash your hair so that your hair doesn't need to be shampooed. I don't know. You don't want that less. Yeah. So it won't be so oily. Can you use dry shampoo? Yeah. But you say so it'll be less oily, but then part of this thing is you lather your head with coconut oil. Well, in the last day I put coconut oil in my hair so that it's like a treatment. Okay, you also say the last day,
Starting point is 00:04:47 what really what the last day means is every fifth day. Yeah. So oil training is washing your hair once every six days? Yeah, but I don't know. I might change how I do it. I might just stop washing my hair. All together? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Are you gonna go off the grid and like, get rid of your phone and everything else? No. Wrap your head and tinfoil or anything like that? This is like a lot of people do this. It's not that crazy. And then you can only eat the food that you grow. Oh no, no, no, I don't wanna do that.
Starting point is 00:05:18 No, stop. No, stop. Ellie, actually as you both know, we travel a lot. We go lots of different places. Like we were all just in Las Vegas last week, which, oh you an apology, because we did this helicopter thing, but we did it. The only time we could do it was at a time
Starting point is 00:05:32 when you and John had something to do. What you pretty much had to do, Ashley, the entire time you were in Las Vegas. Yeah, well, I had, yeah, I was like one thing at 8 a.m., one thing at 1 p.m., and then one thing at 5 p.m. So, each thing was about an hour but it meant that I couldn't be away for any block of four hours. Uh, you couldn't get in an unmarked van with a dude with a gun strapped to him and drive
Starting point is 00:05:54 out to the middle of the desert. It was as much fun as that sounds now. I do. What'd sketch it all? Not in the way. It didn't feel weird at all. It wasn't like, hey, welcome to our experience. Get in the van. Of course, we just passed out and fell asleep. Did the other thing that we did make it into the vlog? I did not. Yeah, we cut the ice up. When you, yeah, you had a big old night and then you went and got IVs for your hangover. Well, look, if that's not some sort of dystopian future Hunger Games district one shit, I don't know what it definitely felt like. We both sat there and we both,
Starting point is 00:06:26 do you feel like a terrible person right now? We were recording not sure if you were recording. We were hooked up to one of those oxygen things while you're getting your IV just to really drive the point home. No, we were on a massage chas with blankets. They were injecting us with a teenager's blood too. That's like a treat with that they did.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Well, the young mouse is blood. But with Sophie, literally the only place it seems like we ever traveled together is New York City. And so we've been all I have a we don't we don't we don't we don't we don't you just sound the wrong. But the wrong Santa Monica. But but it seems like mostly we go to New York that seems like it and every time we go she's doing something new and challenging a life hack to say a laugh only a long term life hack. And so but in York, I think there's more support for this.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Like she knew places we could go. So I feel like I got roped in. I got duped into doing this by you. Like a full security. We went to Hugh Kitchen. Yeah. That was really good though. You really liked it.
Starting point is 00:07:21 I did. And that's what I'm talking about. I got roped into this. It goes just to be simple, let's do it. But nope. The thing is, Austin has a wonderful food culture, but it's not exactly a whole food culture sort of place. It's a taco place.
Starting point is 00:07:35 It's a, it's a like, oh, you want donuts? We made a whole restaurant out of donuts place. It's, look at all the crazy ways we can make ice cream. Yes. It's true. Yeah, it's like high-end fast food. It's amazing. It's look at all the crazy ways we can make ice cream. Yes. It's true. Yeah, it's like high-end fast food. It's amazing. It's amazing. Today though, we went, we had a breakfast meeting at picnic, which is like a whole fatty compliant restaurant. You're going to be so happy. It's a, we can drive to it. It's great. Yeah, you brought me a coffee and you, because you brought it to me on
Starting point is 00:08:00 Glitch, please. What was in that coffee? What was in that coffee? I don't know. It was like, it's coconut milk. It's butter in the coffee. It's coconut, they make it with coconut milk and the flavoring was like cacao, raw cacao and that's what you call it. That's what you call it, right? Is that like carob? No, that's what you make chocolate out of. They make chocolate out of cocoa.
Starting point is 00:08:16 They don't call it cacao. Cacao is something else. That's the thing, isn't that fair? I just don't know. I just don't know the cacao nibs. Here's my opinion of cacao. It's like raw chocolate bean, which is bitter. I just don't like like account nips. You can buy it. Here's my opinion of cacao. They come out with it. It's like roll and process chocolate bean,
Starting point is 00:08:27 which is bitter. Yeah. They have not had time to tell you that it's bad for you. They haven't had time to figure that out yet. That's what always happens with these things. They give you something like, oh, this is fine, this is bad, but this is fine. So stop eating that and eat this.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Then two years later, like, don't eat that. That was a bad idea. That was like a, was it a gava nectar? Yeah, there you go. Everybody's thinking about it. I was like, a gava nectar is amazing. nectar? There you go, everybody's thinking a gov. I was like a gov nectar is amazing. It's the next thing you sugar. You don't and then fast forward to yours and I was like, yeah, don't, don't.
Starting point is 00:08:54 We just need to accept just the human race that like sweet is not good for us. Pretty much, just eat steak all the time. I brought extra steak to work today and I have a little cooler, and Gus, the dog, who's running around here somewhere, here's Call of Duty. Yeah, yeah, I hear it can take a call. I think we're all joking.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Hey Gus, hi. You're good, Gus. Gus was eating some steak with me, and then I left an entire steak on my desk, and walked away, and he got the whole thing. What happened to that steak? Hello Gus. And then he didn't eat the steak on the desk. He was in the room with it and didn't eat it.
Starting point is 00:09:28 So that's a good dog. Did you not eat the steak? No, he's a good guy. What are you eating right now Gus? Whatever he found around the corner. Dogs are like little kids where they just like put shit in their mouth. You know, dogs don't can't hold anything. But you know, that's the one thing about little kids.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Like if you leave them alone for two seconds, they'll take whatever they have in their hand and shove it in their mouth. Or up their nose. Or in an ear. Hey, speaking of which, don't take an engine here. I was in the airport the other day and they had those little ball super magnets.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Those, I thought those were illegal. I thought they got rid of those. Because you're not supposed to be able to use them because they might, you might swallow them and they get in on opposite sides of your intestine or something and start pinching stuff, right? They find each other in pinch, yeah. And then they destroy your insides.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Look at their dog. All right, this enough with you. I guess you don't want to go. He's stealing all the attention. We is. Come on. Good dog. Good boy, guys.
Starting point is 00:10:14 I think the carpet's clean now. All right, well, Sophie, we are now what, we're six days into this. Set or what's today? We started on the second. Yeah, we started in the second. So we're six days in. But you're seven days in. We started a little bit after second, so we're six days in. But you're seven days in.
Starting point is 00:10:25 We started a little bit after you. All right. Seven days in. Seven days strong. So what is day seven like as people who are on day six, is it better? Day seven, is it good easier? You get a little bit tired.
Starting point is 00:10:36 I mean, there's a whole timeline you can look it up. Really? Really? It's like how it happened to you. So if you send it to me today, it's like a whole timeline of what to expect as the days go by. Day 10, I told you, it's the hump days when people give up.
Starting point is 00:10:50 Yeah. But you get past that, do you get the crazy, like, endorphin rush the people? Yes. Sometimes tiger blood. Yeah, you're supposed to become like your best self. You get the tiger blood. So it's become like a Marilyn Monroe quote,
Starting point is 00:11:03 basically living in bed. So day 20, it says is a vision quest quest day that's when you have your hallucinations and you lose your fucking mind. Oh, Nathan does this too right he's your boyfriend Nathan does it? Yeah, actually I was eating just like a normal person I Until Nathan started all of this so he's like patient zero for this. Yeah. Yeah. All right, well, we're going to go after him because I'm hungry and I'm angry and I'm really miss,
Starting point is 00:11:30 I miss wine, your cheese crackers. Stop talking. I miss pain. I hate cream. Oh my God. So we, uh, uh, years ago, Ellie, you said you want to do it because you were just curious if you could do it, right? Yeah. So years ago, we were listening to, I think it was because you were just curious if you could do it, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:45 So years ago, we were listening to, I think it was like the Howard Stern radio show and David Blaine was on and he was talking about this thing he did called the master cleanse. And essentially, he was getting ready to go and, I don't know, some kind of like clear cube in Times Square for a week. And so he was preparing himself to fast for seven days
Starting point is 00:12:01 because all he would have in there was a tube with water and that was it. So he did this thing for like, was he being a hamster for a week? He had to what he does. Like, there was a one where he buried himself under the ground. It was just like, he was six feet underground. All he had was like a little window to look out and people could walk over him and look
Starting point is 00:12:14 down into it. He never seemed to, the weird like stunts that David Blaine does. I seem to have missed those. John, what else did he do? He was even water. Yeah, it was an ice block, sat in the middle five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five which is I think you're supposed to do it for two weeks and he did it for 30 or 60 days. Where you don't eat any solid food, you just drink, it's from memory here, a combination of water,
Starting point is 00:12:50 grade B maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice. Lemon juice. Lemon juice, yes. That thing I know, I know that is like a juice cleanse plus. And I did it with Jeff Ramsey. We were gonna see if we could do it because we had Ellie's idea of like,
Starting point is 00:13:05 can we do this or not? Yeah. And I went seven days and my boss was like, said I was standing in a meeting and I just started like rotating or standing. Like I was like this teetering and he's like, you need to eat something right now. I went and ate those orange and peanut butter crackers.
Starting point is 00:13:19 You know the orange crackers with peanut butter and from a vending machine. Horrible diet. Horrible thing to eat after seven days of no food. That seems like almost time. Was it overwhelming or was it disgusting? It was horrible. It was like once it hit my stomach,
Starting point is 00:13:31 it just rushed through my body and it's like, can't describe my body just grabbed onto it. But Jeff, Jeff was like, I gotta give up because I can't do this. And it was, he was like, three o'clock one of the days, and he's like, I'm done, I can't do it. And I was like, come on, you gotta last longer do this. It was, he was like three o'clock one of the days, and he's like, I'm done, I can't do it. And I was like, come on, it go, you gotta last longer than this.
Starting point is 00:13:49 And he goes, no dude, it was day one. He goes, I've been doing this for 24 hours. I go, no, no, we started the midnight last night. You basically skip breakfast. That's all you've done. And he was like, I can't take it, I'm out, I'm out. So he gave up immediately. I've always wanted to try it again,
Starting point is 00:14:02 see if you can try it and go like 30 or 40 days without you food whatsoever. To be fair though, that's just kind of gross. Yeah, the kind of pepper really takes it over the top, I think. Yeah. Whole 30's not that bad, right? Whole 30's not that bad. No, right.
Starting point is 00:14:15 I mean, I was about- Today, I would say I have to breakfast today was the first time that I felt like, satiated, real meal, and like, oh, that was really good. And I'm full, and I feel like I ate just now. The most I this I go into every meal starving. It's been a long time. It's like, you just eat more fat.
Starting point is 00:14:30 You know, that's one of the weirdest things about when you go into the workforce is you, it's time for lunch, so you go to lunch and you just eat because that's your time to eat. This is like, I need to eat food right now. I'm starving to death. Yeah. The doctor needs food badly.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Ha ha ha ha ha. right now I'm starving to death. Yeah, the Valkyrie needs food badly. Hahaha. Well, let's see, it's so far, it's so far okay. Okay, six days into this thing. You're not the official rep of Holtz at the very end. We're seeing that. You know, a lot of potatoes. Because potatoes are allowed. I eat sweet potatoes, you eat potatoes.
Starting point is 00:14:58 I love potatoes. Yeah. The fact that if I couldn't have potatoes, I think I'd probably be out already. But I can have potatoes. So I don't know, a lot of potatoes, and that's cool. So we'll see. It's also, I get a admit here.
Starting point is 00:15:09 It's expensive, it feels like. It's not sustainable. Yeah. It's like, you know, honestly, everything that comes in a box is cheap. It's cheap as a thing. Yeah, pasta and packaged foods. Bread and everything.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Let's not talk to the sub-talking. Yeah, let's talk to that. Bread. Right now. Hey, what we should do when we're all done, we should all go and get pizza and beer together. Yeah. That'll make us all so sick.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Yeah, but it'll always go first. Ellie's covered in bruises. I have so many bruises. This is my favorite guy. That's the machine gun bruises. That's the machine gun bruises, because apparently I messed up. And I have bruises under my arms here from where I fell and then this is quite an impressive one on my leg. I'm about to get more because I just did a session
Starting point is 00:15:52 of Krav Maga with Eddie and my knuckles already are like I just bruised like a peach. There's like I feel like I'm under perfect. When did yourself and the last like dojo that you went to you over punched or something like that? Yeah, yeah. Wait, is that when you punch with, because you're only supposed to punch with these knuckles. And then if you punch with these ones, they're all little, and it's supposed to be the toasty, right? Most of the time you punch somebody with a bare fist,
Starting point is 00:16:16 there's a good shot, you're gonna break your hand. It's a really good shot, right? I'm always surprised. So if he knows about that. So fun fact, you two, so we punched people all the time. Ellie, you trained with Eddie today. He's teaching two more classes before he comes to work next.
Starting point is 00:16:28 And then tomorrow morning. Yeah. He's teaching quite tonight a lot, first thing in the morning. He hits a lot of people. It's amazing. I guess that's why he's so close. He's so fast. That was the thing that really like, I mean,
Starting point is 00:16:38 obviously super strong as well. But the way that it would be teaching me how to, if someone's like pointing a gun directly at you How to move yourself out the way and push their hand and he'd like blink and he does it It was crazy and I was like little funbly and rubbish Which is funny. I feel like the like Krav Maga Eddie is his superhero persona And he comes to work and he's mild mannered Eddie Reeves. Yeah, like writer and overall super nerd Yeah, they're when he leaves, he's like,
Starting point is 00:17:06 I'm gonna fight crime. It's amazing. We should get him a costume. We should. Oh my, from my hero academia. There we go. There we go. All right, well I wanna remind everybody

Yo so much looney to they at Tom and Jerry too Which Tom and Jerry freaking love yeah, and then but I I watched a lot of old TV series in general It was like like I love Lucy green anchors Gilliams Island a lot of the stuff that was on you know how you live action shows Gilliam's Island, a lot of the stuff that was done, you know how- So you were to live action shows? Yeah, because you know how they had Nick at night that was the, it was just a block of classic TV shows that they showed, I loved those.

I mean, it's weird, because I was thinking about like, when I was a kid, I would regularly watch stuff like three stooches and little rascals and I was like from 20 years ago.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Little rascals? Yeah, like think about that. That's where we were watching TV that was 40 years old. Yeah, I'm talking about that last time. It's great to eat this. So I'm sorry. Peter Hayes is sending animated gifs to me. I have to say gifs when you're in the room.
Starting point is 00:19:59 I'm not making you do anything. I'm doing it to be a good person. You're a hero man. What's that? You're a hero man. If you're gonna eat 30 days of twigs and berries, you know, I can say gif when you do anything. I'm doing it to be a good person. You're a hero man. What's that? You're a hero man. You're gonna eat 30 days of twigs and berries. You know, I can say jiff when you're around. Can we eat twigs?
Starting point is 00:20:10 I probably eat too much. I think anytime you start, you think it's like kind of like food regimen. I think you tend to do things to try to get yourself back to what you were eating and you overcompensate in that way. But I thought, oh, this is my crutch food. Like everyone on Atkins would eat bacon nonstop, which, you know, while it's low carb, is probably not the best strategy.
Starting point is 00:20:29 You can also eat healthy and eat low carb. But for me, it's like, I eat a lot of nuts and seeds, which are probably not the best. I know I'm finding pistachio shells all over the floor everywhere. Bullshit, you are not. If I need to find Bernie, I follow the trail of pistachio shells. You have full permission, unless you're gonna be debuiced about it.
Starting point is 00:20:48 To, in our house, if you find a pistachio shell, anywhere, put, take a picture of it posted, and I will, I will give you a dollar. Roger that. One dollar. Roger that. I'm the best way to do it. You have not found pistachio shells anywhere. Of course, you're gonna go butch shell a bunch of pistachios,
Starting point is 00:21:03 scatter it for income. Oh please. You're very delicate. I think I was like 30% of the time before I broke my thumb. That's what happened. So, but you're happy doing this? Yeah, like trying to, yeah, it's nice to try and break bad habits. You know, because I have been, you know, just, I know I've been not eating great and like I look in the mirror and I gain squishy weight instead of muscle weight And then I just sort of get mad at myself and then I get sad and go eat some potato chips because you're sad
Starting point is 00:21:50 I can't but the view in the mirror and so you go and eat stuff. Yeah, so it was um Well, we did tell me I eat because I'm unhappy and then I'm unhappy because I eat well. What I accent was that? Well, that was just to think of generic European accent How to do it in a it in a Scottish accent. But you're Scottish. Doesn't mean I can, so I can just, it's built into my jeans, like I'm bust out of Scottish accent. You should be able to do your own accent.
Starting point is 00:22:15 I was born in a tartan. What's that? I was born in a tartan. Yeah, plate is your favorite color. But we've discovered something, since we've lived together, spoiler alert,'ve lived together, spoiler alert, we lived together, that I am really good, diet-wise, at making decisions in the grocery store,
Starting point is 00:22:34 or in a restaurant, and I'm terrible about those decisions at home. I mean, if I'm in a grocery store and there's a box of cheez-its, I know, I'm not gonna buy the box of cheez-its. And then I don't buy the box of cheez-its, doesn't come to the house, you know? But if there's a box of cheeses, I know, I'm not gonna buy the box of cheeses. And then I don't buy the box of cheeses, it doesn't come to the house, you know. But if there's a box of cheeses in the house,
Starting point is 00:22:49 I will eat 100% of them. Or I'll eat, that you can play about this. In a day. I eat like, all of them but four, and then I didn't eat all of them. You're like, it's not empty. That's usually, I eat your food. That's another bad habit I have.
Starting point is 00:23:03 I eat your food when you have something. Yeah, because I'm in the opposite. I will buy anything at the store and then make it last for two months. What's the worst habit I have? Is it eating your food? Is that bad? I'm just a work guy.
Starting point is 00:23:14 I think that's the one that makes me the maddest because I go to eat it and then I don't have it to eat and then I'm mad because I just got happy. Yeah. I took it away. It's like getting the rug pulled out from under you. Wow. Well, apparently I leave facetio shells it away. It's like getting the rug pulled out from under you. Wow. Well, apparently I leave facetio shells for you to nosh on.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Anywhere you go. Yes, I don't dare you. I don't even ever pick them up and just do want a shell. I gotta say, I, listen, I gotta, I have bone to pick with you. I made you a lovely dinner last night. You did, it was really nice. You were wrapped up in, you were playing Destiny. You were recording, you said you were recording footage
Starting point is 00:23:44 of Destiny 2 for the know. Which I did. Eight hours of footage, apparently. You started at like 6 a.m., or 6 p.m. And I think you can do about it three in the morning. I recorded part of the opening, and then I wanted to play further into the game and take some gameplay capture from different locations.
Starting point is 00:24:00 So the European Dead Zone and Titan, thank you very much. Who do you think plays more video games, Miriam? Me. I think what I do is I get on one game and I play it nonstop until I get to... Yeah, you're playing seven days to die, like, constant. No, but I think Battlegrounds was worse. Battlegrounds was pretty heavy, but you broke that now. But, yeah, I don't have to play Battlegrounds in a long time. I actually feel kind of bad about that.
Starting point is 00:24:22 Because I feel like there was like a little bit of a turn on battlegrounds where people were like, it got kind of be cool to hate it for a while. If I was you, I wouldn't feel too bad about it. They just passed like 10 million owners and it took all of the top games off steam like it passed Counter Strike and it passed Dota. I think it's gonna be okay without you. I don't know how I feel about Dota.
Starting point is 00:24:45 I'd be honest. I know that's controversial thing to say, because it's got a lot of fans. I just don't care about Dota. And that's fine, you don't have to care about every game. Why would you care about every game? I've just had a MOBA person. John, are you a MOBA?
Starting point is 00:24:55 You please to play what? Smite, right? That was the big MOBA that everybody's gonna play. That was the MOBA I played. I never, I tried to get into Dota and League, but that was a no. I mean, John talk while he's adjusting his mic. But I want John, when he gets on mic here,
Starting point is 00:25:06 I want him to talk about what we're doing for seven days today. We started this Twitter account. Just on a project. There's a Twitter account. It's the Ruchijith, what do we call it? RT underscore servers. RT underscore servers.
Starting point is 00:25:18 No, I know you've got that Twitter account because you hooked that up, you verified that Twitter account with my phone number. Yeah. And forgot to turn off text notifications. Oh, that's right. you hooked that up, you verified that Twitter account with my phone number. And forgot to turn off text notifications. Oh, that's right. And then tweeted out that you'd started it. I had hundreds of text notifications.
Starting point is 00:25:34 I got, you know what? I was like the followers, everything. For every single follow. Every single one. And just it was hundreds. It was a course of like minutes. Yeah. And I had it burning.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Can you please, please turn it off. My phone is dying. It is literally vibrating itself to death. Yeah, but so we've started this RG server. So we're having more gaming servers. Yeah. People like the battlegrounds when we did. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:57 I started it, but you took it over. We're doing another seven days to die server. We have a seven days to die server. It's live. It's like up to day. Last time I jumped in, a few days ago, it was already up to day 96. See, that's a tough thing about seven days a night server.
Starting point is 00:26:10 What does that mean though? What does that mean with a server? Does time progress as long as anyone is on it? It persists as long as one person is in it. For you guys to do it. Huh? Yeah, because it's not. Is that how Rolmes work too in Minecraft?
Starting point is 00:26:22 It might. No, I don't know actually how Rolmes work, but the seven days a day, it's because it's a dedicated server elsewhere. It's once someone logs in, it goes, so that's why it's up to date. Like we actually, I jumped in with a bunch of people and jumped in a day before the next iteration of seven days
Starting point is 00:26:39 and I had never played seven days a night that far into a game and we held up in like a mind room and I saw zombies I'd never seen before. Yeah, scales as you go further along. It's like the zombies that come after you and especially these, what are they blood harvest? Yeah, blood harvest. Or whatever the seven days. Every seven day, there's like an event that happens
Starting point is 00:26:57 or it's a massive horde of all, like the toughest zombies that come at you. And you have to basically spend your six days preparing for that night. They automatically come at you as well as opposed to the other zombies which will not come at you and you have to basically spend your six days preparing for that night. They automatically automatically come at you as well as opposed to the other zombies which will not come at you unless they find you. That's right. They'll just charge you and they charge you.
Starting point is 00:27:11 These are literally the straight sentatius. Like someone like sent out an evite, they all got together and decided to like move on, have a house party at your place. Yes. Actually hates any kind of zombie games. Hades. Okay, hates a strong word. I just have no personal interest in playing them
Starting point is 00:27:26 and I get scared easily, so I do this. Seven days to die is a lot of nothing of you like doing sandbox creation stuff and you're just mining rocks or something and then all of a sudden scared out of your mind by a pack of dogs rushing you from behind. Yeah, to me it's like seven days to die, what it does well is it's like crafting for a purpose.
Starting point is 00:27:48 In Minecraft, you're not really crafting for any purpose whatsoever. You're just crafting to craft. Yeah, the seven days cycle builds that because even though you live through the seventh day of the blood moon or whatever, you then it's going to scale in seven more days and you have to build up to that. So you are. You're constantly like weighing how much you prepared your house to be safe to how much you can go out and explore
Starting point is 00:28:09 for new schematics and stuff. Well, this is, we now have, I'm at the point in that game where I'm out. There's always a moment where I sit like an arbitrary goal for myself and then when I hit it, I'm done with the game. Like that, like that's your, cause the game has no end,
Starting point is 00:28:22 so you have to determine what your end is. Yeah, I think for like Battlegrounds, I said I'd win five chicken dinners, five nights in a row, when I do that, I'll stop. And I think I said that when I had the three in a row, so then we got to five and I was like, all right, I'm done. I hit my arbitrary goal, which doesn't make any sense.
Starting point is 00:28:37 So now I have this feeling of completion. For me, it was like I was gonna try to do all the achievements in seven days, but the achievement that I'm on. The wellness one? The wellness one I got, up to 200, which is a pain in the ass. But I'm now on the one where it's travel 1,000 kilometers across everything, and I'm like 840, after playing the game for probably a couple hundred hours
Starting point is 00:28:56 over the course of the last year and a half, and I'm only like 800 kilometers. I'm like, I'm not doing 25% of what I've already done in order to get this achievement So it's like 15% but does your most mean 15% didn't you say it's a I'm at 800 out of a thousand Okay, so you're 80 so you need 20% no, I need 25% of 80 to me 20 You're correct. You're better at math than I am. Thanks buddy. Wow. We just we just reinforce gender roles You'll be okay. You'll be okay. Does your mo-ped in the game?
Starting point is 00:29:26 I'm sorry, your sweet ass motorcycle. Mini bike. How dare you? Does it take gas? Are you making fun of me? You play a game that you, there's a cat that turns into a car. What is that stupid persona game you're playing on top? Well, okay, that was Persona 5.
Starting point is 00:29:39 I am no longer playing Persona 5. I beat it and saved the world. Thank you very much. I am now playing Persona 4 Golden. We're all grateful. What are you playing? Persona 4 Golden. And it's not a cat that turns into a car. It's a bear mask got that turns into a regular boy. You are going backwards now in this game. You're playing Persona 4? Well, I jumped into the series on 5 and I liked it so much that I was like, well, this is on the Persona 4 Golden, it's on the Veda. Here's what I'm hearing. I got to sit
Starting point is 00:30:03 to three more of these games being played in the background this whole time. No, actually I heard that persona three, like it just shows age, and I probably don't wanna do the ones before that. It's just like two rudimentary. However, there is the entire Shin Megami Tensei series, which persona is a spin-off of. That's coming to switch.
Starting point is 00:30:22 There is a new persona queue game coming to 3DS. Do you all want me to continue? Oh, I don't. And the dancing spin offs dancing moon night. Come by the way, speaking of dancing, not to cut you off. Did you get more on the list of games? I'm never going to play. I ever get a good all-in-list here for me.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Look, you just don't know what it's like to be a magical schoolboy save in the world by going into TVs himself. You didn't know me. You made me later in my life. I could have been a magical schoolboy earlier save in the world by going into TV's himself. You didn't know me, you made me later in my life. I could have been a magical schoolboy earlier in my life. But did you see the Andy got to number one on Reddit with a destiny gift? Yes, and he gif.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Gif. It was great. Sorry, I'm just trying to be 18 player. It's a gif. It's a gif. Well, please, here we go. You can pronounce it. You can pronounce it as you like.
Starting point is 00:31:03 I don't like, I don't turn and make anyone else pronounce it. Jeff, I just, if someone comes after me saying you're pronouncing it wrong, I tell them why I pronounce it the way that I do. I feel like you guys are coming after me for it. I'm just defending my mind. I'm listening, I'm telling the line here. I'm good. I'm pronouncing it wrong for you.
Starting point is 00:31:20 That's what I'm doing. I'm trying to be a deep player. You do, is he like? All right. So, where do we say about this? Oh, he got to number one on Reddit. Andy's on, yeah, he's on the game subreddit. Yeah, with him dancing and dodging bullets and destiny.
Starting point is 00:31:38 It's a pretty fantastic little 17 second video. It looks like break dance fighting. Or, oh, what was that? With Guncata. Guncata. From, what was that? What was that movie? It was the Christian bail one.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Yeah. Have you played Destiny 2? No on PC, so I'm waiting for October. I see, I'm the same way. She, actually, you were at a division of the company called The Know, which know a lot about video games. So, John Rice, your works here.
Starting point is 00:32:05 So, explain to me, what is the cross platform thing with Destiny? It's like, if I have it on the next box. It doesn't exist. Yeah, at all. It doesn't exist. Which actually I was happy about because I was worried that with the cross platform and PC coming out a month and a half later, then everybody who's on console has all this time to build up their power level.
Starting point is 00:32:22 And then when I get in October, they'll be like, I'll be just a baby. But it says not. No, there was a rumor that the PS4 and PC version, you'd be able to take your character across, not that you could cross play. So if you want PC, you couldn't play with PS4 people, but you could take your character and then, you know, play with your PC.
Starting point is 00:32:39 That was actually one of the reasons that I ended up getting the PS4 version. The other reason being that we have a PS4 pro at home and I wanted it to be really pretty. That and that was actually one of the reasons that I ended up getting the ps4 version the other Reason being that we have a ps4 pro at home when I wanted it to be really pretty and we don't have an Xbox one X yet So by the way, I pre-ordered one. I pre-ordered one. Come on. We got to talk through this stuff What are we doing? Well now we're gonna have a bedroom one and a living room one. Yeah All right, I don't see a problem with this, but So I wanted it living room one. Yeah. All right. I don't see a problem with this. But so I wanted it to look really nice. So I got the PS4 version. And my intention was, I figured Teddy and JD
Starting point is 00:33:13 would want to eventually play on the PC version. And I was like, I'll just get all cool max levels and stuff and then be able to help boost everyone and power level everyone up. And now I will not be that hero. I will be a scrub like everyone else on PC. Yeah, I'm not gonna start off as a scrub. That's all we can power up with us.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Cause I didn't play the first one. Do I have? It really doesn't matter where you are relative to everyone else, either. It just matters where you are relative to your own friends. Yeah. Like in your fire team and people that you raid with and things like that.
Starting point is 00:33:42 So who's your fire team? We got. Is that a thing? Yeah, got... Is that a thing? Yeah, friends? Is that a thing? You got like two friends you hang out and play with Destiny with? I've never played Destiny before. Oh, really, never.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Because it was always on console. I think bowling night. And I don't really game on console. I have an Xbox one at home, but I don't really play on it ever. Oh, what a fucking hipster. What do you do? We're gonna rest with that. Does that make me a hipster?
Starting point is 00:34:04 I are. Oh. By the way Thomas Corey on Twitter wanted you all to know that the movie that you were talking about Equilibrium equilibrium with that movie that's the one where they don't be in the first five seconds Of course they get that's one where they don't they don't feel anything and they take the yeah They take medicine to not feel because they decided that feeling is what made war. And so now they just don't feel and everything is peaceful and normal and they burn books and painting and art and anything that might make people feel. And then it turns out there's an underground who's intent on saving feelings. But Gunkata's awesome.
Starting point is 00:34:38 You know what they don't burn in that movie? Really cool socks. Hey, how often do you think about your socks if If you're like, I used to be, not much, but we recently discovered socks that changed away that will think about socks forever. They're called Bombas.

You don't have a boat?
Starting point is 00:36:10 I don't have a boat. I'm lying with my shoes on a daily basis. You're a boat, you're a boat poser. Well, look, it's no vlog yet. Is there anything I don't know about you, you think? Like if you had a boat and that would be a surprise to me. I would be impressed with myself from managing to keep an entire boat hidden.
Starting point is 00:36:30 I'm not sure what the purpose of hiding a whole boat. What do you think is the biggest thing about you that I don't know? I'm not like skeletons and the closet stuff because I'm sure there's plenty of us. When I was in eighth grade, I wrote a writing contest. I wrote that a girl got sucked into a game and died. And what happened?
Starting point is 00:36:49 She died in real life. She wrote the matrix in eighth grade? Well, sort of, except she just got sucked in the community. She just disappeared, not just body drops to the ground. She disappeared into the computer and then died. Did you win the writing contest? I did. Really?
Starting point is 00:37:04 I don't, so in it got, we had like a junior high school, you know, literary magazine thing, and it got published in that, and I have no idea where that is. I would love to find it and readjust how terrible it is. Really, yes. Did that really happen? The girl?
Starting point is 00:37:20 Did you make it up? Of what? She's basically a liar, basically. You're a little eighth grade liar is what I'm hearing and all. Oh yeah, you're just looking at that when there was no dragon involved. Man, I got super into dragons.
Starting point is 00:37:30 That was how I, did you? I, yeah. Was it like a sexual thing? Like I always think of like, when girls were super into horses, I was like, I evolved from a horse girl into a dragon girl. Well, that's a natural progression, I think, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Yeah. So you start off loving horses. What is it with girls loving horses? What is the story with that? Um, I mean, horses are pretty cool, but what's not so crazy? Oh my god, I had a horse and it let me ride it and feed it and go, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump,
Starting point is 00:37:54 lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, lump, Flicka, actually my friend Flicka, I was,
Starting point is 00:38:08 I don't know. Is that a book or do you have a friend named Flicka? That's a book. Okay. But no, I was just such a like, know it all, little fucking nerd in elementary school. My fourth grade teacher, but I couldn't read this. My friend Flicka, it was like a 400 page book,
Starting point is 00:38:21 which for a fourth grader is a lot of pages. And she bet me I couldn't read it in a week and I totally did and I showed her. And I was just sure she was like, great. Good for you. And I was like, I did it, you don't think I could do it? I did it. And then I really liked horses.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Ha ha ha. You cursed yourself. Oh yeah. So what are the things that? What do I not know about you? Well, I didn't lie to get in the E3. I mean, I made a shitty website, do it myself. So, one of the things that- What do I not know about you? Well, I didn't lie to get Ne3. I mean, I made a shitty website, but it was a real website.
Starting point is 00:38:49 So did I. Yeah, but you made up your website to get Ne3. So did you! No, so we was the thing. You made yours to get free games. Well, that's the thing. Did your website have actual content or did you fake the content to then get an Ne3?
Starting point is 00:39:00 How do you fake the content? No, it had actual content. Oh, really? Did your shadow run thing? What's the shadow bank do you think of the content? No, I had actual content. Oh, really? Did your shadow run thing? Was shadow bang? Shadow bang. But before shadow bang, I did...
Starting point is 00:39:09 Explain this real quick. So to get in your first E3, you... I made a website. You made a website. I thought you faked a website. I thought you faked your credentials. No, I made an entire website. In fact, I used it as like, it was also like an exercise.
Starting point is 00:39:23 I was teaching myself different programming languages. And that website, I think I was teaching myself different programming languages. And that website, I think I was teaching myself, I was doing pearl at that point. So I was teaching myself pearl and I was made a website and databases, like to integrate the SQL databases and all that sort of stuff. And so it was a project of learning like, I would like to do this. I don't know how, I should learn how to do this and immediately implement it.
Starting point is 00:39:46 So it was also that kind of project. And I made, well, my very first site was, like I just did one fan site for American McGee's Alice. And then people liked to and said, do one for this and this and this. And so I did a couple of them. And then I just built like a general gaming website. It didn't last very long. And then that's how I got into E3. Got into E3 and from there,
Starting point is 00:40:08 like what was the path to becoming a Frag doll? So I, no, that wasn't really super related, except that I did end up having a fan site for Shadow Bayne and playing in the beta for that. And then some of the developers for that, because it was published by Ubisoft, told me that Ubisoft was casting for frag dolls. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:28 And so then I submitted an application for that. Was casting the right word? Is that what they were doing? Yes, it was casting because you can't ask for headshots or photos in a normal job application. Oh, that's really interesting. I never thought about that before. So it was, if you ask for anything like appearance wise, it has to be a casting. Really, you can't ask for that, huh? They ask for your ID. Discrimination.
Starting point is 00:40:49 That's good. But casting is totally cool to be discriminatory, I guess. Absolutely. I guess so. I guess it's okay to discriminate in that regard. So it was like when you were teenager starting off in all this, obviously when Frag Dolls took it to a different level, but was being a pretty girl who plays video games, was this an enormously valuable thing for you growing up or were you like...
Starting point is 00:41:08 Oh, God. Or a viled nerd. No, I was trying so hard to make friends in high school a bunch of the dudes in my Java script class. This is how cool this I was. Okay, wait, two, where the story goes. I took a Java class because I couldn't find JavaScript on the syllabus. I took HTML to learn how to do basic websites and stuff. I couldn't find JavaScript, so I took a Java class. Turns out they're not the same thing.
Starting point is 00:41:37 Just so you know. It was completely useless in it. But a bunch of the dudes in the class, they were all playing starcraft. And I was like, I don't have Starcraft, but I do have this base game called Homeworld. I'm gonna install that on the computers. And so I basically played Homeworld in class. Really?
Starting point is 00:41:53 Yeah. Where's the teacher doing all this? The teacher was, for that class was absolutely useless, completely absent, was just, here's a bunch of exercises, go through, type this in here and do this. And it was just a list of, basically, told you step by step by step how to complete these exercises.
Starting point is 00:42:09 I feel like every computer class early on was like, you kind of did busy work until you just all broke down and played games. Pretty, yeah. Of some kind, yeah. Fun fact, those guys never liked me. Why not? What happened?
Starting point is 00:42:21 I don't know, because I was playing homeworld instead of StarCraft and they didn't give a shit. Really? They're my very first gaming friend What happened? I don't know, because I was playing Homeworld instead of StarCat and they didn't give a shit. Really? The machine man. My very first gaming friend is I had a holiday job at, it was, I think it's called media play. Like one of those like old media stores
Starting point is 00:42:36 that had like a book section and here's the DVD section and music section. They had a game section. And so I got a part time like a holiday job in the gaming section of that store. That's the closest I ever got I always aspired to work somewhere really awesome like Babbage's But I worked at Babbage's yeah, there you go. You're a little cool. You can check out video games to take them home
Starting point is 00:42:53 What I couldn't do that listen, I don't want brag But I one of the guys that worked there was my friend and then introduced me to who's this guy and then introduced me to, like, I'm sorry, I'm gonna go ahead. I introduced me to another friend, introduced me to another friend, introduced me to another friend, introduced me to another friend, and that's sort of like how I built a circle of friends.
Starting point is 00:43:13 I didn't go to school with any, like no one I went to school with, I played games with. Really? It was real tragedy. With the exception of, you know, like in fifth grade with, you know, over at my friend's house playing on her brother's
Starting point is 00:43:23 Super Nintendo, kind of thing. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, yeah, I got it. Yeah. It was, uh, I mean, it was when I was in, like, seventh grade, I was playing all, all to my games. It was, we were, there's like four of us in the corner of the cafeteria that would talk about it in very hushed tones. We didn't like, we wouldn't raise our voice over a certain level. It's kind of cool how far everything's come. I mean, it's like, then you like then you got cast as a frag doll. How long did you do that? It seemed like you did it for a long time,
Starting point is 00:43:46 but it really wasn't that long. It wasn't that long. It was four years. We had the first four relief. No, oh god no. There, so I started 2004, and our first frag doll to leave was Cat Hunter. And that was after like, like maybe five or six months,
Starting point is 00:44:03 she just, she didn't want to do the competitive thing and went off to community thing and is now married to Chris Bettson. Yeah, what is the creative director for Blizzard? Like the lead creative on the Warcraft franchises. Yeah, and they seem very, very happy. So she was the first one to leave. Did he retire though?
Starting point is 00:44:21 What? Did he retire? Anyway, go ahead, I'll get up. I should know that up the top. I think so, yes. I think he said he wanted to you know spent time with Family and stuff, but Yeah, so I was there for four years. I was far from the first to leave and Then went off to Australia Then you went off to Australia worked for Xbox in Australia. I remember there, but that's where we met
Starting point is 00:44:42 Yeah, we're different four years right? Yeah, four years. Yeah, so I was Australia, 2008, 2012, moved back to 2012 and then started dating this dude, like two weeks after I moved back and eventually left my job for him. Let me, but, okay, explain that. Then you make that sound like I like four should leave your job.
Starting point is 00:45:02 No, no, no, no, that was, I brought that up. Remember when I was visiting? We had a rule, we were longest. We could only go two weeks apart. Like every second we had to see each other. And we dated in Borderlands too. Yeah, we played a lot of Borderlands two together at the time. As our date game.
Starting point is 00:45:18 Yeah, I'm just like homeless at the time. I was renting different places like bouncing from place to place. And we're like a year with no house, basically. And then you ended up at IGN. And what was your job at IGN? I was the head of social and community. You just come from a community gig in Australia. Your last job there was for Hawking, right?
Starting point is 00:45:39 Yeah, so immediately after Microsoft, there was a very brief student working on Hawking and then wasn't really feeling that and then IGN had hunted me. Okay, so brought you over from Australia. You know, one of the things I don't know if we can even talk about this, but I'm gonna talk about it anyway. Okay.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Is when you moved from San Francisco to Austin, you ain't been paid a relocation bonus to move all the way from Australia. Yeah. We had to pay back half of that. So. You had to ransom me. I did.
Starting point is 00:46:11 It was like paying a dowry from my company. Yeah. Yeah. I was so bitter about it. I had to pay him some money back. But, and then you get to work here. So this is something I think that, I hesitate to bring this up,
Starting point is 00:46:22 but I feel like, you know, if we're talking about stuff, we should talk about this. Which is, I think that I hesitate to bring this up, but I feel like, you know, if we're talking about stuff, we should talk about this. Okay. Which is, I think that you have, I think you have had to deal with things over the last few years that you've worked at Ritualtide, where it's like, because we're dating, there's like, I think there's sometimes the impression
Starting point is 00:46:38 from the audience that like, you have the stuff that you've built or the stuff that you've built is because you're dating me, Do you get that sometimes? When in reality, it's completely the opposite. Do you think that dating me is holding you back at this company? No, it changes things. We're really careful about, there are specific things that we don't involve each other in. You and I are not involved work-wise.
Starting point is 00:47:03 Yeah. But we did the GameStop event together, but kind of. But that was different. That was GameStop. It came and said, we love for you to do this hosting thing, which was really just giving away stuff between their conference sessions. And you were actually hosting this show.
Starting point is 00:47:22 And those were through research teams. I had a better job. Yours was pretty cool. It was pretty cool. Yours was pretty cool. I mean, when I was at a static competition, I don't want to criticize you or anything. But I just want to tell you that Kevin Pereira
Starting point is 00:47:33 had like a confetti machine. How dare you? How dare you compare me to Kevin Pereira? How dare you? In public. He, I didn't realize how self-deprecating he is. I love it. Yeah, isn't he great?
Starting point is 00:47:43 Let's talk about Kevin Pereira. Why don't we do that? Why don't we just spend the likes 20 minutes talking about Kevin Pereira? We could do that if you want. Do you want to talk about him? No, I'm like, I'm like, I'm Pereira? I really don't.
Starting point is 00:47:52 I either want you nor don't want to. So I'm dead neutral on the Kevin Pereira discussion. I'm just giving you a hard time. Yeah, but that did come to us totally independently. I actually didn't know you were doing the GameStop conference the first, and you didn't know I was doing the GameStop conference the first. No, I didn't know we didn't know that were doing the game stop conference at first and you didn't know I was doing the game stop conference
Starting point is 00:48:05 The first no, I didn't we didn't know that they they cast us individually Yeah, and then in that thing but it was happy because we get to go to Vegas and we're there together It was fun. I it's weird going to Vegas for I actually liked Honestly going as a work thing because I don't gamble and I don't gamble well So kind of the same boat you gamble enthusiastically and that counts for a lot. I don't I well. So, kind of the same boat. You gamble enthusiastically, and that counts for a lot. I don't, I lose patience within so fast. It's like, if I lose $10 for nothing, it's like, that's just like cuts to the core of me.
Starting point is 00:48:32 I'm just like, I just wasted $10. And this is like, there's people who do that for hours. It's like, I can't handle it. I can't handle it, you know? Yeah, well, I just, like, I don't really get into it. So I just skip it entirely. So for me, the appeal of Vegas is the shows. I really like the shows and the food.
Starting point is 00:48:49 And what? And the food, which we were eating when we were there. And then we stopped eating regular good food. I missed the food. I have a steak in my office, and let's gust the dog is eating it. So, I don't know, I do like it. I have a gust of rollo walking to my office
Starting point is 00:49:02 and just eating a steak that's on my desk. So, before the podcast, you panicked. You said, I just eating a steak that's on my desk. Oh, for the podcast you panicked, you said I was eating a steak with guests, and I thought, what? Did I go through this meeting here? Did he come into the office to eat steak with you? I did have a steak panic moment today. Hey, I feel bad because I'm working a teacher
Starting point is 00:49:16 on this with you, and I was like, I went to pack a different shirt to wear for the podcast, and it didn't make it in the car today. So, why aren't you more stylish? I know, I just feel bad. I feel like I dress down for your one-on-one podcast and that doesn't feel right to me. I'm sorry about that.
Starting point is 00:49:31 That's really, that's very nice of you. If it makes you feel better, I forgot we were doing a podcast and I just wore this. That's right. Don't have to, you know, you can say things. You don't have to like keep going on this. Okay, I want to remind everyone that this episode of the podcast is also sponsored by Link A.K.C.
Starting point is 00:49:50 Everybody knows how much Gus loves his dogs, Oswald and Benjamin. Gus was telling me that he was on the lookout for cool, functional accessories for his dogs and he came across this awesome new collar called Link A.K.C. And it's not just a collar. Backed by the American Kennel Club, the Link A.K.C. and it's not just a color. Backed by the American Kennel Club, the Link A.K.C. color is a GPS locator, fitness tracker, and more. All controlled to a smartphone app, I bet Gus loves that. Because he's basically obsessed with his dogs, Gus loves the GPS locator, uh-huh, because
Starting point is 00:50:17 it tells him exactly where his dogs are. There's no more, did they get out of the yard? Did the dog walk or take them where they're supposed to go? You can see exactly where your dog is at all times right on the app. It's complete peace of mind for dog owners. Gus' other favorite part is the activity and wellness tracker.
Starting point is 00:50:33 It doesn't matter how old your dog is or what kind of dog it is. Link A K C shows the exact amount of activity every dog needs. You know what they should make this for cats? Cat, I don't know what the fitness tracker would look like for a cat, but it would be flat-line, probably. Yeah, just flat, with a couple little bumps here and there.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Everyone who sees it loves it. It's easy to set up with sizes for every dog and even one the CES Best of Innovation Award in 2017. Link A K C is a super comfortable and excuse me, Link A K C is super comfortable and looks great on Oswald and Benjamin. They're hand some dogs though. So a lot of things look good on them.

Starting point is 00:51:32 this would have actually been, you know, a thing that a friend of mine could have used because I had a friend who lost a dog during Hurricane Harvey. No, we lost Joe, well, you know, animals can panic during stuff. And they hadn't evacuated, but they just, the dog got out because lost Joe, you know, animals, companions during stuff, and they hadn't evacuated, but the dog got out because of just, you know, I guess they can sense stuff, and it's like,
Starting point is 00:51:51 man, if they just had a GPS look at it, they could find it. I actually have it. You think animals think humans are weird, like they, they're like, they're like, there's like an earthquake coming or something, you see all the animals start freaking out, they know something's coming.
Starting point is 00:52:03 Do you think they're like, hey, dummy. Why are you like, why are you not reacting to this? Well, don't say that because we have two cats. And cats are great because you'll be sitting there. It's like one in the morning, you're in like reading a book or playing a game or something like that. The cat's next to you.
Starting point is 00:52:20 It's completely dark in the house. And then the cat just does this. And then runs. And it's like, what the hell did the cat see? And it's like, I'm sure the cat's like, did you not see that specter or whatever that walked by and takes off and you're like, just sitting there like a dope reading your book, you know?
Starting point is 00:52:32 One of my favorite things in fiction is the way different stories will address something like that. Like, what is it that cats see? Are they seeing ghosts? Are they seeing another dimension? Are they seeing some form of living seeing another dimension? Are they seeing some form of living being that only exists as vapor? Or they're just freaked out all the time. I mean, they're cats. Listen, since we're keeping score today,
Starting point is 00:52:59 are we keeping score? My cat's better than your cat, right? I like not Meg a lot, but Joe's like overall better cat. Nothing's getting to be a good cat. Joe the cat is a wonderful cat for everyone. I appreciate the numbing. I appreciate the numbing loves me the absolute most and like I'm the center point of her life. How do you feel about Troy Baker? Troy Baker was the second day host. How does it how we rank? not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:53:29 I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:53:37 I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm first of all, I entertained the crowd with a wonderful time. He sure can.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Listen, I went first to you. Those guys, I got to warm up that audience like for a full day before Troy Baker. No, Troy Baker was really close. They're pretty asses in there and just decided to blow off confetti cannons apparently. Yes, it turns out Troy Baker is actually a voice actor in Persona 4, which I'm playing right now. It's a, it was a cool thing to learn. He plays kanji, kanji, kanji, no kanji, whatever. You know, I do voice acting. I don't know if she says, you know, red versus blue, Ruby. I don't know if you've seen those.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Those are pretty good. Just saying. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha on the last trip, then I took it to LA, which was really surprising. Hannah Hart, who I don't associate as being a gamer at all, enormous last of us fan, absolutely loves last of us. I feel like the last of us is the kind of games that a lot of people who aren't hardcore gamers can enjoy because it is a very tightly focused experience. You can play through it and then it ends
Starting point is 00:54:44 and you don't have to commit hundreds of hours to enjoying it, but it will tell you a lovely story, you'll have a great time while you're playing it and then, you know, and it, like, doesn't ask the world of you. Also, for someone like you who doesn't like zombie games or horror games, which is because there's some of these.
Starting point is 00:55:02 I mean, everything's zombie, that's what I say. Don't, don't, what hair is about that. But it's clearly a zombie game. You would not play it on your own, but you did a thing where you watched all the cutscenes with me like a movie after I finished the game. And I had a great camera watching it. There was really only one part of the story
Starting point is 00:55:16 that was not told in the cutscenes. It's when Joel gets hurt, not to spoil anything, but. Yeah, it was actually, it was pretty cohesive. Like I could get a really good idea of what was going on and going through it. Yeah. It's, I'm looking forward to the last of us too, but I didn't hear anything about it.
Starting point is 00:55:31 E3, how about you, Mrs. In the Know? When is last of us two coming out? When it's ready. Yeah, naughty guys. I mean, I think the emphasis right now is elsewhere. What did they, that now, now the internet Twitter's busy ranking me in the Troy Baker, Kevin Pereira world. So I'm, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:55:52 How are you, how are you doing? It's like a game of Thrones night. I'm not gonna watch it. That's it, I'm done, I'm out, I'm out. Well, anything else you were to talk about? We're getting close to the end here. Um, let's see. Any grievances you want to hear?
Starting point is 00:56:04 Anything in your subsets, obviously, pistachio shells. By the way, that makes it seem so lame. If light's like the reverse stuff. They were finding about pistachio shells. And that's your worst complaint about me. This is pistachio shells. And me, they're doing something right
Starting point is 00:56:16 or just something completely wrong. I mean, what else can I, what else am I angry about? Sometimes after you go to the bathroom, you leave the bathroom light on, but close the door, so I don't know if someone's in there, and sometimes I really have to go, and then I have to go find another bathroom, and that takes me like an extra 10 seconds.
Starting point is 00:56:35 Really? It's a real problem. It's never came up before. I thought we were airing new crevances. It's a new thing, it's just like, you could have mentioned this in any point in time, but I would just turn off the light. I mean, I should turn off the lights anyway.
Starting point is 00:56:48 It's- Consider it mentioned. That's environmentally sound. Also, please leave the, just the toilet seat, not the whole lip, but the seat down so that the cats can get in in in case of emergency. The cats can get on the rim of the ceramic.
Starting point is 00:57:02 They don't like getting their paws dirty. Get out of here. How do you know this? So you have the conference with the cats, like a performance review. You have a nutmeg. She says, I am easy. And she's really pretty.
Starting point is 00:57:11 And she'll sit in front. If the whole seats up, she'll sit in front of the toilet and meow sadly. But if the seats down, she will get up there and she will drink out the toilet to her heart's content, which is disgusting. But I also acknowledge that she looks her own but whole she'll probably be fine.
Starting point is 00:57:23 Yeah, I don't, that people get upset when animals do that. I don't worry about that at all. I'm not gonna do it. I, I just want them to drink water of some kind. Yeah, and also not, so let me answer your question. So actually, we lost our fish. That we, we got these fish with the house. They came with the house.
Starting point is 00:57:41 We inherited fish. We inherited fish. And we took care of these fish. Totally not our fault. The fish died because somebody tried to do something to help the fish and they made a mistake and we still haven't figured out who did this. Yeah. They filled the pond back up with like tap water and then left it running so replaced all the treated water with tap water which fish don't like tap water and they ended up
Starting point is 00:58:02 dying. I don't think that they died of not liking it. I think they died of their gills burning for the green. Oh, that's horrible. Don't say that. So as a result of that, we buried our fish. Then the fish got unburied by something in it ate them. Something big. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:16 Something big. Something that could move the stones we put over it. It was our next door neighbor. He's suspect. I'll talk to you about that off here. But then we went out and we bought, instead of three big fish, we have 30 little goldfish. And I can see on the security cameras
Starting point is 00:58:32 still day that a raccoon was eating the fish out of the pond. He was, he was in there. Wait, no, the raccoon was eating the fish. He was going for him. He was going for him. I don't wanna like, you know, I don't wanna assume gender on the raccoon, but let's just, it's a guy for the sake of the story. This either raccoon. He's eating. Yeah, he's eating these fish out of the pond
Starting point is 00:58:49 He's fishing. He's doing the raccoon thing. You could be washing something because I do that what dishes What little wash band over there. I don't you know they wash stuff. Have you ever seen the video with the the Rek is a wreck it's a raccoon It's like washing stuff and then I grabbed some cotton candy to go to wash it I have seen the cotton candy disappear and I thought that was hilarious. Yeah, records are there I couldn't had it come in Especially if it was eating a little fish beforehand, but you're taking good care of the fish. I'm trying to I got a point out we had fish before You feed those fish every three days. That was the previous fish current fish
Starting point is 00:59:23 We had to feed every day. We well you're supposed to feed them every day. If you go on vacation, they will be fun without food for a couple of days. They're like cats now. We feed our cats every day. Now look, they're like cats. Here's the, what is that? That's not actually cotton candy.
Starting point is 00:59:37 It is cotton candy. Is it? It looks just like a square block. Oh my god, there's something that can be used on its nose. Now it's a sad trash panda. And you know what, if it's a fish eaten trash panda, it deserves to be a little bit sad.
Starting point is 00:59:47 There's a follow up video to that where they got the raccoon some cotton candy just to eat it. Oh. I guess they give it to it. They just raccoons will wash stuff when they're not around. So I don't know, we'll see. But you are going to learn with this first story. I'm just saying, why did we upgrade to fish
Starting point is 01:00:03 that required to be fed every day? Like we're busy people. We should make better decisions in this. Don't come here did we upgrade to fish that required to be fed every day? We're busy people. We should make better decisions in this. Don't get me wrong. I like to fish. And you know there's one fish in particular that I like. You like Joe the fish.
Starting point is 01:00:12 I like Joe the fish. Yeah, we have one fish with its orange and it's got a white belly and so we named it Joe the fish. And I was afraid that the raccoons can eat Joe the fish, but Joe the fish is fine. And yeah, but it's like,
Starting point is 01:00:23 we're gonna mess this up. I was already so excited. No. I had so much anxiety about the three fish. I need you to not stress that, the fish is fine. And yeah, but it's like, we're gonna mess this up. I was already so, I had so much anxiety about the three fish. I need you to not stress out about the fish for one with the exception of this morning. You have not had to feed those fish once, I feed them every single time. And I looked on the internet,
Starting point is 01:00:35 which is a very credible place of for information. And it said that they can go several days without food, if necessary, it's not preferable. So, I'm trying to, I'm trying to,, I'm trying to fatten them up a little bit and make sure that they have their nice regular diet so that if we have to go on vacation and they miss it feeding or two, they will be totally fine. This is grievance I have with you.
Starting point is 01:00:56 You just reminded me of it. You say you're acting like I don't feed the fish. You feed the fish every day, and I appreciate that you do that. I also, by the way, were you making the face for? I cook all the time in our house. Like I cooked you dinner last night. I cooked you a very elaborate dinner.
Starting point is 01:01:10 And I thank you for it and cleaned up. How, not really, did you? You did, you did. You did, you did. How dare you do that? Did you notice how I plated your food? It was, yeah, the zikinis made a nice little half moon. I absolutely noticed that.
Starting point is 01:01:24 With the potatoes inside the half moon. It wasn't lovely. It was, no the zikini's made a nice little half moon. I absolutely Know that potatoes inside the half moon it was lovely. It was no comments about it all You just literally just like sat down like you put one hand on the like the opposite side of plate Like you just got back to the army bear So you're like no no eating your food you were so hungry by the time you got to dinner You didn't make a single comment about it. You just started like tucked in I think you from making dinner. How dare you? He did say you like five minutes into dinner, you think, for making dinner. I was very hungry initially.
Starting point is 01:01:50 Sometimes you have no room for anything but the food. I should have, and plus you had to walk over so many pistachios shells, apparently, to get to the dinner table. It's true, you can hear them crackling. We'll go home right now, and we'll take a look at the kitchen floor as no pistachios shell.
Starting point is 01:02:02 That's because the room ago is at 2 p.m. Bernie. I don't think the Rumba can pick up. Give it an hour after you get home and there will be pistachio shells all over the floor. By the way, of all the things, like I like automation and like lights and all that stuff, I like to have everything in the house. I even got our sprinklers now
Starting point is 01:02:17 where I can run it off my smartphone. I gotta say, I gotta say. It's the stupidest thing we have as a Rumba. The Rumba is the dumbest thing we have. It's so dumb. And so many people have these room buzz. And it's just like, the thing is dumb. And it just like, it gets jammed places.
Starting point is 01:02:30 And it's always gone missing. Like we have to go to hunt for this thing when it's, it's just. It manages to lock itself in the bathroom constantly. Constantly. It will, it manages to get itself all tangled up in cables. And then it just dies. It'll chime sadly for a while and then die.
Starting point is 01:02:46 Yeah. We lost it for several weeks, I think, under a couch. It went into the guest bedroom, went into the bed. Yeah. Which is a burger that it's never supposed to go past. It's the dumbest robot we've got. Yeah, a lot of robots. We do?
Starting point is 01:03:01 A lot of robots? Well, we've got an Alexa in like a- Did's a body that Alexa likes me more than Alexa likes you. Sorry, everyone who's listening to podcasts and your Alexa's are now. It bars me a little bit. Alexa, Simon says Bernie smells like poop. Alexa subscribed to Kimber on Twitch. You know, I think that like, when I listen to you, I feel bad how Alexa never, ever, ever listens to you the first time. She really does. And then I try to help out and butt in, but then you're like talking over the top of each other and that's even worse.
Starting point is 01:03:36 Yeah, for whatever reason, Alexa does not like, either it's like my tone of voice, maybe she just doesn't like my attitude. I'm really not sure what it is I try and be polite. I say thank you when I ask Alexa for things and She just won't she won't listen. She just does not like me bitch got a grudge You know, it doesn't bother you when people don't in this day to age don't understand the etiquette of Voice recognition when you start talking to a computer and they don't get quiet like they they just continue to talk over the, you know, top, like, saying whatever they're going to say. He's like, yeah, it's like, talking to the robot right now. Yeah, the robot needs my attention at the moment. I have to speak to the robot. You know who did that to me recently? It's a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a name. I don't know what's going on there. But he likes cars, he's a car person.
Starting point is 01:04:27 And so I was trying to show him how I had hooked up one of the cars to the Alexa, which is very cool. And he was like, how does it work? And I say, here, let me show you. I said Alexa, ask my car. He goes, so you can just tell what to do. And I'm like, yeah, okay. And then he goes, I didn't understand.
Starting point is 01:04:41 He goes, it doesn't work. And I go, hold on a second. And I go, Alexa, ask my car. He goes, can you just ask it anything? I'm like, dude, okay, I didn't understand. He goes, uh, it doesn't work. I go, we'll hold on a second. And I go, Alexa, ask my car. He goes, can you just ask it anything? And I'm like, dude, it's like, and then it said, I didn't understand. He goes, he goes, uh, I guess it doesn't work that well. And he walked out.
Starting point is 01:04:54 And I was like, I was like, you jackass. You talked over every time I was talking to Alexa. I think you kind of got trolled. Yeah, I think I did a little, it could never tell with them. I could never tell with them. I think, I think when in doubt, assume that trolling you. Yeah, right? All right. Try to knock me down a peg trying to name me. You think you think with that headband, he's not trolling?
Starting point is 01:05:14 I don't know. I don't know. You might have the perfect picture of Kib to put up. That's it. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. So he was he was he was remarkably unimpressed by my Alexa integration. All right. Anything else you want to discuss? Robots are the worst. Robots are the worst. This is your chance.
Starting point is 01:05:32 You can ambush me with anything at all. Look, I don't come up with crazy things to ambush you with on the podcast, but if you want to get ambushed about anything, we want to thank you for watching this. I remember you came after me. You were upset that I changed the pin code on my phone. You changed yours. I did, it's retaliatory. Why?
Starting point is 01:05:56 Why did you change your code on your phone? What's going on? Because I took it to the Apple store and they came back and it would default to six digits and I didn't care enough to change it to four. So I just added two zero. It's all mysterious. It's all mysterious.
Starting point is 01:06:09 It's all mysterious. I just wondered if there was like, you were upset with me because I just like, and I didn't know, I tell like I'm in your phone all the time. It's just like, there was the thing where I needed to use a phone, yours was nearby.
Starting point is 01:06:21 So I was like, oh, I'll just use a code. No, you can't do that. So what happened was, how long have I been outside the circle of trust oh, I just use a code. No, you can't do that. So I what happened was How long have I been outside the circle of trust? Because I just found out at that moment when's the last time I broke my phone a couple months ago? Why are you breaking phone you mad? What are you doing maybe where do you try to hide things from me? No, probably probably You think so probably you think so Do you want to get on my phone and look at stuff? I know should we talk?
Starting point is 01:06:45 You want to get on my phone and look at stuff? I don't know. Should we talk? Do you want to get on my phone and look at stuff? Not really. You know what I'm up to. Yeah, I know because your car will play your porn for you. Oh, stop it. Take it easy. Take it easy. I saw a thing the other day I read it where somebody was saying that every porn video should begin with five seconds of music. Like a very specific music, so you know and you have time.
Starting point is 01:07:03 Yeah. And XKCD was talking about how when you go to play a video and he did a timeline for the video starting. It's like video loading, video hasn't starting, video is buffering and the entire time the volume buttons are ringering or ringering or ringering and then as soon as the video starts then all of a sudden the volume buttons are for volume. So it's like you can never turn down a volume on your phone in anticipation of a video about to start. But we all know what he's talking about.
Starting point is 01:07:27 He's talking about porn. That's what he's talking about. He's talking about porn. Wait, is this a problem you even identify with the volume and the ringers and stuff? Not really. Everybody else knows what I'm talking about. Everybody else.
Starting point is 01:07:36 I mean, I have my volume to zero, my ringer off, and just the phone set to vibrate at all times anyway. Because otherwise, I get super confused whenever I hear your alerts go off, I'll check my phone. And so if mine is just silent and on vibrate, one, I don't worry about it, two, I don't pay attention to it. And you know what, ignoring all my alerts
Starting point is 01:07:55 makes me happier person. It bothers me when you know text me back. Really? It frustrates me, frustrates me. Because it's always like, I don't have text you unless I need something. It's like, we don't sit there and text all day. We see each other so much.
Starting point is 01:08:08 Shouldn't you be happy that I'm enjoying my life rather than living tied to a phone? Listen, I want you to enjoy your life to your fullest and all that stuff, but occasionally, I need some answers for something. You know what I mean? I just need to like, hey, this, what do you want for dinner? That kind of thing?
Starting point is 01:08:20 You want me to pick something up in the way home? Of course, then you'll tell me, yeah, I picked this up and then I forget it. Probably. Maybe. Or you'll pick it up and you'll eat it before you get home. That's never happened. A bunch. I haven't once or twice. All right. Well, that's it. Actually, thank you for joining me for a one-on-one podcast. As far as couples therapy goes, I think this was, we've had worse than this. That's for sure. Are we doing it? Are we okay? I think we're worse than this. We had worse than this. I think we've had worse than this. That's for sure. How are we doing?
Starting point is 01:08:46 Are we okay? Are we okay? I think we're okay. Yeah. You want to get married? What's that? You want to get married? Let's talk about it.
Starting point is 01:08:53 Are you back on track with that? Do you want to, because we got engaged, what, a year and a half ago? We don't talk about it all that much. I don't know how to plan a wedding. What does that mean? I think I might buy a book. I don't know. I think you can do, you can plan us all this other stuff. It's just like, we never, like. I don't know. What you could do, you could play
Starting point is 01:09:05 this all this other stuff. It's just like, we never like, we don't have a date or anything like that. I'm not complaining. I was thinking, I was thinking our anniversary next year, what do you think? All right, what is our anniversary? It's the 23rd of September.
Starting point is 01:09:17 Okay, let's go. Don't be a threat. I was just seeing if you remember. So 23rd of September, 2018. Yeah, you wanna get married? Yeah, you wanna put a date on the calendar? Let's do this. All right.
Starting point is 01:09:31 All right, everyone's got advice on the wedding. You know, like, you know, you can't really like not talk about venues and stuff like that. You know what, I need a checklist. They're talking about venues and centerpieces over here. We're getting all this in the centerpieces. We need to do something. Isn't this like curled horses or something?
Starting point is 01:09:43 Aren't you just like, like genetically genetically is like when there's a wedding, it's like you just like something kicks in. Isn't that happen? No. Is this gender, is this sexist? I feel like you're making some assumptions. I am, I am. But am I wrong?
Starting point is 01:09:57 Also between the two of us, you're the baby crazy one. I am the baby crazy one. I am the baby crazy. So, you know, we're breaking all kinds of stereotypes here. I have no idea what to do about weddings and you're cute and baby crazy. I am, that's why when you guys when you're wearing a bearded suit,
Starting point is 01:10:12 because it's like I didn't want to get into that conversation. You wanted that conversation on the air? Well, I have to one of the post-show. Oh, boy. That'll be a good one to have in the post-show. Anyway, I think you're a great girlfriend. One of the things I love about you is that, you know, I have,
Starting point is 01:10:28 I think of myself as having a business brain but an artist's heart, which makes me, like sometimes I like get quick to get angry, and then also my artist's heart makes me kinda stupid in some cases as well, and you're very extremely patient with me. You've always been very patient and supportive of me, and I appreciate that. Well, that's profound and that's very sweet.
Starting point is 01:10:46 Oh, well, you know, it's five years, right? Five years in September 23rd. So congratulations to you. That's it.
