Hello everyone welcome to the RESTEEF Podcast. Guess what? I'm Gus.
Okay, guess what? I'm Gavin. Why am I so low down? Gavin.
I'm Blaine. Why am I so low down? Gavin? I'm Blaine.
Why am I so tall?
What guess?
It's Barbara.
And Gus.
I like your shirt, Barbara.
I just noticed it right now.
I didn't notice it when we went live.
Protect him at all costs.
It comes back to life.
Listen to weeks, new baby Yoda episodes.
I'm doing baby Yoda.
So it's my favorite show.
Mandalorian.
What's up with their marketing? Like I feel like I've seen like Yoda. So it's my favorite show. Mandalorian. Mandalorian.
What's up with their marketing?
Like I feel like I've seen like two things about it
and that's been it, you know?
Two whole things?
I think that they don't care.
It's like you either got Disney Plus or you don't.
I think they're, you know, it's like they're not gonna
get anyone else.
Like everyone who wants to what,
everyone who's excited about it already has it probably didn't the main guy quit
So okay, I'm gonna address that Pedro Pascal there were rumors, but that's just horseshit
I think that that's people trying to stir up Star Wars drama and I actually reached out to a couple people that are like really big in the community and have like back
You know
Behind the scenes connections and they're like, no, it's just horseshit.
Star Wars has drama?
Well, that's good.
It's well like Lucasfilm, I think they have a policy
of not responding to fan speculation.
So when people are speculating
that Pedro Pascal like quit mid season,
they just, they were like, are, you know,
hands are tied, but no, that's not the case.
Can I play?
Glad to steal around.
Why does it come back to like Christmas or something?
What was the day?
No, it's the two of us.
Oh, fuck.
Isn't there a new trailer today?
There's a new thing today, isn't there?
Well, they were tweeting out that you can tweet them
and then they'll tweet you when it happens, tweet.
What?
You can send a tweet to everyone.
They're gonna individually at reply to everyone. They're going to individually
at reply to everyone to let them know
that there's a trailer out.
Yeah, will you not, well no,
they'll let you know
whenever the new episode is out.
Have you not seen that marketing thing?
Where they say tweet us,
reply to this thing,
and then we will tweet you
when the new episode is out.
Like it's almost like when you sign up for alerts
if something is out of stock on a website.
So if you like put in your email address, they'll like contact you when it's available
So it's kind of like this through Twitter, right? Is that what you're saying?
Yeah, so there's one account divide designed entirely
Say anyone else's thing this is entirely stupid or am I the only one?
I mean to me it's like if you're super lazy and you want to know, like, you see a tweet about something
you're like, yeah, I'd like to know when that comes out,
but I have too lazy to do follow up.
Let's just have them tweet me when it's out.
So I don't even have to look.
Can you see the whole cast like that
with that voice and that lean?
Like, like just leaning like this,
talking out of my mouth, just from the side.
It's easy, kind of, standing.
As someone who got super fucking hyped for, hey, look at her getting desk. Wow. For the just from the side. It's easy. Someone who got super fucking hyped for.
Hey, look at your desk.
Wow.
For the ghosts in the show, like, Netflix show.
I totally missed when that got released.
I didn't watch until like a week after it came out.
Is it good?
I liked it.
It's like people.
People hated the atmosphere.
Yes.
Yeah.
Stand on Complex 245.
I just finished rewatching season one of standalone complex this past weekend and about a start season two
I meant to watch start season two yesterday, but I
Didn't maybe I'll start it after this podcast. It's still so good. It's still it's a great show
I think the I remember at the time it came out
God woman was it like 2003 or 2004 like I thought the animation looked incredible like I was was blown away. And now we want you to get them like, it's all right.
How much that changes?
It's so good. I just bought the Blu-ray.
We were talking about this yesterday and I just got the Blu-ray in the mail today.
Don't destroy the illusion that we talked about this already before hand bling.
We have a spot in this conversation here.
The first time ever we save all of our conversations for the podcast to talk about with our community.
That's right. That's right. I've been watching Huan Tung of Hill House, because I'm trying to watch Blind Man
but I don't want to watch that first so I'm just catching up. It's spooky. It's a little bit scary.
I also last night watched Episode 6 and it's been turned on.
Turned on the Jedi? Nope. last night watched episode six and it's a men's.
Turn the jetty. Nope.
Oh, episode six of the show house.
But it's the one where they did it in like five shots, like the whole episode has
like, it's got like a 12 minute take and then like a 17 minute take and it's like,
must have been a technical bull ache to get that done.
I'm saying.
Very good.
It's very good.
Do you ever get stressed in long takes?
Like watching children.
Like watching children.
Watching children are good.
Watching children are good.
Yeah, like watching children of men,
they have like long takes and you're just like,
oh, someone's gonna blow it.
Someone's gonna blow the take.
Yeah, we talked about that on a super old podcast,
like what it must have been like to be like a dying guy
in some room that they don't come into
until like eight minutes into the take.
And you just like lying on the floor waiting for them
to get to hoping you don't ball, exit up.
And you know that, by that point,
like if you're that far into the take,
you don't get to practice it that often.
So it's like by the time they get you,
you haven't done it more than a couple of times. I don't fuck it up.
You know what reminds me of that is when we used to film those vines with Bernie back before
Vine had like any sort of editing tool. So you had to get everything in sequence on the
first take. And I remember there was one we filmed in particular where he had to drink
something in burp and like I Gavin, how many do you think we had? How many takes
of that? Like probably 15 to 20 of them.
Then, it was like, we do the whole thing
because it was like three or four shots before
and then the last shot was him drinking and going like,
what?
Whatever it was.
And he's like, he'd fucking up every time.
So we'd have to refill the entirety of the mind.
Did we have to refill it or,
so we couldn't like stack shots at the beginning?
I thought we just had to refill him that one bit. I think they updated it. They updated it after where you could then stack
shots, but I think before it was just like, I do remember it being a proper nightmare to
make a six second video. We would lock up polish like entire days to film like three vines.
like entire days to film like three vines. We've all been in shoots before.
What's like something like a gag that before the AD was like,
we only got two takes at this, so we better not fuck it up.
Like, I'm sure Gavin's is way bigger because it's slow.
So many blood fest too, yeah.
Which is like gore and like messing up a costume before we set.
Yeah, there was a scene. I mean, I feel like I could spoil like messing up a costume before I set there was a scene
I mean, I feel like I could spoil blood fest at this point in time. It's been out for three years
So I get like a hand come through my body
and I'm supposed to like cough up blood and
I think that we did like two takes total but like I was like I really want to like spit blood so I could get it on my
Camera lens because I think that, I really wanna like spit blood so I could get it on my camera lens
because I think that'll be really cool for the shot.
And it didn't go very well,
but by then everything was covered in fake blood.
So it's like, well, we have to use one of those two takes.
That's really all we could do.
Unless we wanna like spend the next hour
and a half cleaning everything up.
I filmed a train crash into a car once.
That was probably the-
It's probably a little more stressful than car once. That was probably the blood shot to me.
Jesus.
There was a blood taken.
Arizona Circle.
Yeah, like a blood like I had a.
We were in the living room of episode one.
It was yeah, and I suppose I'm supposed to vomit blood and they kept
fucking it up toward the tube
that was connected behind my mouth
was like getting dislodged or it would just like
shoot the wrong direction.
And I think we ended up just like enhancing it in post.
There's a lot of stuff whenever it involves
like something wet or something bloody or something dirty.
It's a lot of pressure because you're like
we could reset this shot. It's gonna take a lot of cleanup. Luckily most people at places have like a lot of pressure because you're like, we could reset this shot.
It's going to take a lot of cleanup.
Luckily, most people at places have a change of wardrobe.
Like I think for blood tests, we had two or three at least different versions of our wardrobe
for that kind of stuff, but it's still a lot of work.
I got so many wardrobes, did you have them blood tests?
Just one.
But one more than you had did singing the final film.
We, for the first time in seven months, I went back to the studio last week.
And had we filmed something in a very safe manner.
Uh, I had to take a COVID test.
This is my first COVID test before we could go in.
And that's not pleasant.
It came back negative.
I'm sure everyone wants to know.
But, uh, as part of that shoot, there was one thing
where I had to destroy the set.
And it was like, we have to make sure that we're ready
for this take because there's not a second one.
Like when it's done, that's it.
Like that's it, we're going home.
So it's like everyone's like, all right,
are all the cameras working?
Is everything rolling? Are we sure that
we've got this? Is there any last minute notes? Anybody want to
do anything different? Like, okay, do it. And then it's like, all
right, that's it. We're done.
I was wondering how that part was going to go because I was also
on the same shoot as you as was a couple of the people from
Richard Heath. And I remember them saying like, oh, you know,
at the end of this, Gus has to destroy the set and do all this thing.
And Stephanie was talking to me because she was the director on this and she's like, is there anything you recommend us like
Giving direction for Gus for him to like get all angry and destroy so I was like it's Gus. No, just like
I don't know. Just say like go for it and he'll go crazy. He'll be happy to like yeah just fart on him
Yeah, I've I had this similar thought when I was was doing that video I made for Tenet where I had to at one point hit a vase of paint like all up the wall, but
it was like whatever happened happened. Like I couldn't do it twice because it would
then because I was doing it backwards. So it would have been in everything before that
not after it. So I was like, everything has to be untouched. And I was doing it backwards so it would have been in everything before that not after it so it's like everything has to be untouched and I was really nervous I was gonna like
do a really lame hit and I ended up
and it went too hard and freaking glass what everywhere
but yeah one had done so I sat as fine
1917 the when he's doing that sprint down the battlefield and all the guys are running out of the,
what are those called?
Trinches, he like slams into a dude,
they like tackle, make contact and then he fall,
then he gets back up, that was apparently that was unscripted.
It's happened to just happen to collide.
Yeah, but it looked great.
It's more realistic.
Yeah, yeah.
It would have been hard to make that look real with the timing.
There's a couple of easter eggs like that in different movies.
I know, was it Django Unchained with Leonardo DiCaprio?
That character he played?
Apparently, there's a scene where he slams down a glass,
and it actually slams and breaks and cuts his hand open.
And his hand is bleeding in that scene
And they just kept going instead of cutting
Yeah, he ends up like wiping it off
I think is a because they made it part of the scene. I think it was an ash tray was it like slams it. Yeah, yeah
It was something glass. Yeah
My favorite one is in Lord of the Rings when Vigil Mortensen like breaks a toe
Because he like oh, you kicked the bucket. He kicked the hell out. And he was a helmet.
Yeah.
And he's like, you just kept going with the scene.
And I think it's the take.
And also in mission, a possible fallout, right?
Like they use the take where Tom Cruise broke his ankle jumping from one building to another.
Yeah.
And in one of the rings, there's no that other one.
God, this is just fucking I and D.V. trivia.
The podcast is the last one I'll contribute.
But the one where he hits the knife
that was thrown at him by that orc.
Apparently that was not supposed to happen.
Like the guy was in the costume,
so he fucked up and it slipped out of his hand
and Vigo Mortensen actually fucking hit the knife
like a baseball bat.
Really, I didn't know that was unplanned.
Apparently that was unplanned.
I have not found anything that's disproven that,
but like, you were saying that Viga Mortensen
got so fucking good with the sword
that he just like instinctively fucking whipped it out.
There's a great moment in,
I assume I've told this before.
There's a great moment in an earlier Bond film,
Octopussy where like Roger Moore is Bond and he's in India.
They're on like, took, tooks fighting,
they're like driving together
and like someone's got a tennis racket
and there's like a guy with a machete
and they're like, clashing these two vehicles together.
And from the other direction, is just a man on a bike.
And the two cars just go like,
ooh, and like, let the bike pass
and then come back together.
And it was just some guy riding his bike.
And he just rode through the shot,
like, hold on to the camera crew.
And you just go like, ooh, it's so funny. I think you mean the rode through the shot like hold the camera. And you just do go like,
it's so funny.
I think you mean the name of that James Bond film
is Octo.
Did you look at you?
Very well done.
Gus is upgraded.
Everybody's got a fucking Elgato now.
I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
Are you kidding me?
Oh, you got that as well.
I'm ready for actual Eric to get fit on it.
I revived.
We've been at home long enough.
I decided to resurrect the Eric Soundboard.
Big dogs got to eat.
I don't know who's real and I don't know who's the Soundboard.
Brother back.
I had a little bit of help from Mike.
He sent me his Soundboard file. So I said, I said,
one up here. Genius. Even when Eric's not around, got to keep
sure that he's around. My favorite part of this that I'm going to out you, Gus, but you got
this mixer a while ago and you've been like testing some stuff out. And like every now and then
we'll be on a discord call, like getting ready to record something or stream. And you'll like
test certain features out on us.
And so you're like, oh yeah, did you guys
watch that recent episode of Face and your beat won't work?
So it just sounds like you're just saying,
and we're like, were we supposed to hear something just now?
Yeah, were you trying to bleed jam?
For some reason, it doesn't.
Like, I think yeah, like on Discord,
what was the gate setting for wrong?
So on Discord, it wasn't going through.
It's just whole fucking.
It's been, it's a great mixer.
I'm glad I have it, but it's been a lot of work getting it set up.
You're right, Eric, that was an unappreciated joke from Gavin.
That was a good joke, yeah.
Do you, do you think that you are less technically minded than you used to be gusty?
Think you're like getting on and like,
you're not up to date with a new shit.
I'm so with it.
I got all kinds of tech.
I'm never gonna let it go.
When I think I've said this before,
but when I was younger,
obviously when I was a little kid,
didn't have a computer,
I don't think I got,
my family didn't get our first computer,
so I was much older.
I must have been like 16.
And like back then,
you really had to know a lot about computers for them for them to like in order to get the most out of
In order to make them work and I thought that as time went on
Everyone would understand how computers work that it would just become like this thing where everyone knew
It's like if something went wrong. They know how to troubleshoot it and people would be able to swap out hardware and it would just be like
A thing everyone could do and man. I was so wrong on that
That I think the best analogy I should have thought of at the time was it would be like a thing everyone could do. And man, I was so wrong on that. That I think the best analogy I should have thought of
at the time was it would be like a car.
Where it's like, everyone uses it
and you're aware when something's wrong,
you can't necessarily fix it,
but you can find someone who can fix it for you.
Yeah.
We've definitely gone in that direction
where it's like all technology and computers
have become like black boxes,
where people don't necessarily understand how it works.
They know what they can do with it, but they don't understand the underlying technology behind it or how to get the most out of it.
And I, getting back to your point, Gavin, I don't want to get to that point in my life.
I want to make sure I always understand the technology I'm using. And I can, like,
get the most out of it. And if I need to, I could fix it myself. I'm not going to fucking open
things up and solder them. I'm not going to get down to that level, but I'll be able to do like troubleshooting
and you know, basic like replacing parts and stuff like that.
It reminds me of that time when you were troubleshooting
the server in Buda, and you were plugging it in
and it wouldn't turn on and then after a while
I was like, don't you say hit the switch?
The switch on the back.
Yeah, it was all the time.
And you were just like,
I'll just like, you have to go so silly. It was all the time. And you just like the play switch. You must have felt so silly.
God, I hate that you saw that.
It's really it embarrassing. I've noticed too, like with with our group, at least,
John has been like our savior so many times for tech issues.
Like he, he understands some stuff that we are still working out.
Like everything to do with like sound mixers and stuff like that.
I had no idea how to use it.
He has been so patient with all of us
walking us through step-by-step
how to use stuff and how to operate it.
That's the reason I bought this hardware mixer.
We had been using a software mixer
to try to do the things that you're talking about.
And the software mixer was just such a pain in my ass.
I couldn't wrap my head around software
doing the job of hardware. So I was like wrap my head around software doing the job of hardware.
So I was like, I'm just gonna buy the piece of hardware.
And that way I can physically route my audio.
Like I can see it and I can plug shit and I know,
I can hit a button.
It's going from here to here.
There, done.
I bet it's still software.
You just got fancy buttons.
It's not the software.
It's obviously software.
So there's a software application that comes with it.
But it's like I have a piece of hardware that adjusts the software. Like if you want to do it right, I could open the software that came with it, but it's like, I have a piece of hardware
that adjusts the software.
Like, if you wanted to do it right,
I could open the software that came with it
and do all the same things, but I have this piece of hardware here.
We use this thing called voice meter,
which essentially is like a software sound mixer.
Into my fucking existence.
To essentially like route, like if we're doing a stream,
we only send our gameplay audio through that,
and then we have the TD take our audio
from discord for our voices and it's like this whole complicated setup because then if you try
to get just your desktop audio it's going to capture both the gameplay and your discord audio
so you're going to get people twice it's a whole complicated thing and it's just been like
having to figure that out and the interface of the software is so confusing for someone who's never used
something like that before, which is like, all right, I got a one, a two, b one, the this
input, this output of the oxen.
I'm going.
But still going off of the trial version.
So sometimes it just closes out and I'll be like in the middle of a recording a phone call
or playing games and then everything mutes and I'm just like, it's like 20 bucks.
I love just buy.
Yeah, I said, you don't have to pay for it.
If you're using it for what,
the company will buy that.
Yeah, you probably have to pay for it.
It's expensive.
Yeah, you just get a license for that.
Yeah, all right, I'll go buy it.
We'll buy it tonight.
I'll buy it tonight for tomorrow.
I'll put it off.
It's better to just bitch about it and complain.
Yeah.
It's content.
It's true.
I had a speaking of content.
I had maybe one of the highlights of the past 17 years of working at Rooster Teeth here
recently.
In the RT animated adventure that came out today, I have an argument with Bernie and at the
very end of it, he acknowledges that I'm right.
And I think-
I almost say argument.
It's from that stuck at home podcast
where we argue about the direction of six street
and first street in relation to the cost of all of art
and how you go down one street.
But if you turn you're on a different street,
at the end of the argument, he looks at a map and he says,
oh, you're right.
And I was like, that out of 17 years, that's like my highlight of my career at
rooster teeth is finally having Bernie acknowledged it.
I was right in an argument.
Wow.
The education must feel.
I like that you have the best moment wasn't when it happened.
It was what it was animated.
Yeah, it's like that was great.
But now having it animated like now everyone's going to see it. It's it's it's immortalized
That yeah, good. I was gonna say that the RTA is to you like those are only a minute and a half two minutes
Like everyone's gonna know about that argument now. It's gonna be one of the more viewed thing
And so it's now you're just gonna be the successor forever
Those are a while ago now those
Stuck at home podcast different to this stuck at home podcast.
Yeah, we're stuck at home.
Wasn't that like before in like June April?
Was it April?
I don't even find it was like it was early on.
Wow.
Yeah, you're right.
It must have been April.
I think you're right, Barbara.
April and May at least.
The favorite argument that I had was you guys talking about the iPhone thing.
And then we made it into an RTA, but it was like a
Bobblehead RTA. Yeah, that was the first project I ever worked with on it, Rooster Teeth. You did that like by yourself too, right? Yeah, I went back and watched it and I was like, oh, this holds up. This is
pretty good. It was probably a little interned blame. I loved the airport door construction argument. Slash big bell argument that got animated because
Bernie and I are just refusing to argue about the same thing. We're both like pushing our
own points that don't cross over what we're both so stubborn. It's great. The argument
goes nowhere and in the end, Bernie just gets annoyed and stops, which is the ideal outcome.
That's real good content. That argument that you won, Gus, that's the real reason he left Rooster Teeth.
He just couldn't face it anymore.
Yeah. I think I read a comment that said like he got on the road
and couldn't figure out the appropriate exit got turned around and kept driving
till he left the country.
Bob, are you just said one like Gus?
I've always said it like that. You won. I you just said one like Gus.
I've always said it like that.
You've won.
I've always said it like that.
I think people have pointed that out before, but I am consciously trying to change it every
time I say it.
No Barbara.
You're saying it the correct way.
Because it's won.
W-O-N, it's not O-N-E.
It's not won.
Correct.
Point to Barbara.
One, uh.
I did it.
Me and Gus agree on something. what's that was wonder woman's name
Wonder woman. Yeah, but you said wonder woman. You didn't say one like wonder woman
Because
How does it want it's two totally different words
It's W-O-N in both situations. Oh my god,
are we really going to do this? No, let's not. I just want to get something animated. Yeah,
how would you how would you pronounce L O N? Like, that's not a word, but just L O N.
Lon Lon how would you pronounce L-O-N-E-L-Y lonely Lonely, Lon Lon E-Oftrip, Barbara
Yeah, I mean, I'm just saying like just because you have the first three letters of
So how do you say London we're doing it London
London, London
London, we're done.
Archivis over.
Archivis over.
We're nowhere.
Nobody won.
We all lost.
I was alone the two shots.
Nobody won.
Me and Gavin, because you're so far down in your frame that it looks like it's a mistake.
I want to do it again.
You're not too bad.
I'm fine.
Now you go really high.
Yeah.
I think we were just talking about height right before this podcast.
We're in high heels.
Yeah, that's me in high heels.
Just tell me how to.
Eric and I picked the same height.
Oh, for ideal height.
Yeah, the right you said we Eric.
He's not there.
Wait, so.
No singing.
Gus, would you change your height if you had the ability to, like, or do you like the
height that you're at?
I'm pretty happy with my height.
In your six foot, two, six one, six two somewhere on there.
Okay.
Okay.
And then Gavin, you would want to be six foot two.
Well, Eric asked me what, like, if you could pick a height, what would you be?
And I picked that because it's, you know,
like a respectable height without banging your head
on playing ceilings, a door frames and stuff.
Maybe a plane's feeling you'd clock your head.
You picked it, you picked it because it's the perfect height.
Yeah.
I have you twice.
I have always that.
Oh, it's voice meter, or sorry, it's it's discord in the mix. Oh
I'm everywhere guys
Well, then hear me say this six foot two is the perfect height, but you like being little no
I happen to be little I
To if you worked out a body slash hand just gesture for I'm big drew did you worked it out? Yeah, oh
What was it leave it was this?
Like crouching over yeah like a bear leaning on offense. Yeah, yeah exactly
What's on medium? Did we take that up to you?
The medium is just like there. It's just whatever you are. I'm medium.
Yeah, I don't think it needs to be mentioned. No, we're good. I'm so low down.
You're pretty low. I'm going to the rest of us.
Oh my headroom.
This episode of the receipt podcast is brought to you by Harry's.
Harry's just came out with their sharpest blades ever and unlike some other razor companies
they're not charging you more for their product improvements.
Harry's is out here with new sharper blades that are still as low as two dollars.
I love a close shave at a low price so naturally Harry's is a go to like how convenient they
make everything without sacrifice equality.

I had something embarrassing happen the other day, I got a story I guess I got to tell.
It was a squirrel. It was just not involved. Well it doesn't involve any alive animals. Um, okay. So you know,
I I try to eat a plant-based vegan diet throughout the week Monday to Friday, but on the weekend,
if I want to eat meat, I'll eat meat. So on on the weekend, last week I went to a butcher shop.
I did it's like this place in Austin. I'd never been to it's like I'm gonna buy a really nice
steak and I'm gonna grill it at my house. Since, obviously, I don't wanna go to a steak restaurant
or can't go to a steak restaurant.
So I go to this butcher shop
and they've got this beautiful steak.
It's this super thug, stuck, super thick,
so, did that go sooo.
That's a super thick bro.
Try each ribeye.
It's like this thick.
I mean, I don't know, like two and a half, three inches thick.
Like looney tunes cartoonishly big.
Massive.
Well, here I've got a picture of it actually.
Oh, yeah, that looks good.
Really big.
And then so I don't want to go on to get, I'll get to the rest of the pictures here in
a second.
So like you saw, it was a super thick steak. You know, I someone even say it was thuck. And I was worried
because I'd never grilled a steak this thick before, right? Like it looks almost like
it's got two bones in it. And I was like, God, in my mind, I'm going through the thing,
like, how am I going to cook that? Like, I don't want to burn it on the outside and have
it be raw in the middle. So I'm like, trying to figure out my head. And so it's, it's, I walk up to the butcher and he's like, you see anything you like?
I was like, I really like that dry drier by there.
He goes, oh, yeah, it's a, that's a good meat, good piece of meat.
And I said, is it possible to like cut it in half so that it's like two steaks?
That way it's easier to cook.
And he looks at me like I asked him to shoot his dog.
And the guy, there's another guy
who's not even at the butcher section.
He's like somewhere else.
He's like at another counter.
It's like another customer who's like
somewhere else in the store.
He asked me ask this question and he runs over
and he's like, you're gonna ruin that steak.
Don't do that.
And he's like,
I feel like you should know that.
You're a steak-oficionado.
Right.
You would think so, but I've never cooked a steak this thick.
And at this point, people are now paying attention to me.
So I'm becoming like super self-conscious.
And I just wanted like, escape and just leave.
And I'm like, oh, yeah, right.
If you were gonna cook it, how would you cook it?
I'm surprised you didn't just run out of the store.
I was way worse.
You said like, never mind.
That's so much worse than someone
hearing your sonic order.
It's someone listening to you about to butcher a steak.
So he's like, he explains like how he would reverse sear it
and he goes through the process and like gives me pointers
on it.
Like, okay, like I think I can do that. So I end up cooking it, like doing a reverse sear it and he goes through the process and like gives me pointers on it. Like, okay, like I think I can do that.
So I end up cooking it, like doing a reverse sear.
Where it's like you cook it.
It's almost like a sous-vie, but in the oven where you cook it like at a really low heat
for a long time in the oven.
It's my hand for reference.
I got a big pattern.
Perfect.
And then you finish it like you sear it out on the grill.
And look at the looking steak.
It ended up taking forever.
I think it took like two and a half hours to cook that fucking steak. How is it? Oh, look at that. Look at that. It ended up taking forever.
I think it took like two and a half hours
to cook that fucking steak.
How is that, but it was perfect.
It was a medium rare and it was just unbelievable.
It was like one of the best meals I've ever had in my life.
So big shout out to the random dude who yelled at me
at the butcher shop for telling me
how the property reversal is steak. You like that I have secret service? You know, let me at the butcher shop for telling me how to properly reverse your
steak.
I like that I have secret service.
Like it is though people are about to listen to you on how you're going to butcher a steak.
But I guess butchering and steak actually goes together.
Yeah.
So I is sort of the point, isn't it?
Yeah.
You butchered that so well.
I had a pretty recent like stress induced like very public thing happen.
So I went camping with my girlfriends and while we were doing that,
we decided to drive up to Oklahoma to go to your family.
And I haven't encountered like a physical toll booth and so long where you
actually like throw some money in it.
No, no, those things don't exist anymore.
But it was just the one where you just put in the exact change.
And my girlfriend was like, hey, just go to that one
because this vehicle doesn't have a toll tag.
You're getting it charged at the ass.
I think I've got some money.
So then we went in and like this is like middle of traffic.
So we're there and she's like looking through a purse.
I don't have any cash.
This is a rental vehicle. So we don't have any cash in there. And she's just looking through and I'm just watching as like one car, two car, three
got four cars, just like all of these cars start stacking up. And she's just like, and I was like, babe,
there's a lot of car. And then I was like in the middle of just like staring at the light and it was just like seeing if I could see how much the ticket would cost for me to run the light because I was like I'm about to fucking gutted this is killing me and she was like
is there a 20 and I was like I don't know and I like slipped the 20 in and then it didn't take
the 20 and started shitting it back out and it's like no 20s only 5s and 1s and I was like I was like
they they they they're just like I'll huge fine of. And I was like, as if magic, she found two Chris $1 bills
that she didn't, I don't think she knew that she had those.
And I was just like, just like stuck them in with shaking hands
and the wheelchair.
That makes me so anxious, dude.
Oh, I hate that.
It was the worst.
I was just wanting to like get the fuck out of there.
There's nothing worse than inconveniencing other people and like being the worst. I was just wanting to like get the fuck out of there. There's nothing worse than inconveniencing other people
and like being the asshole.
I hate that's like my worst nightmare.
Has it happened to you recently?
It happens to me like every day.
Where it's just like I'm slow to do something
and I'm like I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I'm holding those up,
like I'm like I'm late to something.
I was whenever was at the Alamo.
It was whatever one's,
it still had like the long bench that goes all the way across
the seats instead of the end of the tables.
Yeah, that's the right one.
I went with so much human hunters, when we're turning.
This was years ago.
And I peed before the movie, so I was like coming back to my seat.
And I just, I think I had, I was carrying something that I don't usually have. So I just clipped the drink that was
on the start of the bench. And it was just like one of those full, massive ice waters.
And it just went over across the bench, like six people down. And it went in all of their
laps. And like in some moment, bag, and then And then everyone I was with,
because you know, they're my friends.
We're like, you idiot, you stupid boss.
And I was like, and I was like, I wanna,
I wanna slip into a nice coma
and have someone wheel me out.
And I wanna wake up really far from this situation.
Five years from now, I don't remember this.
You should have just walked right out.
I just didn't sit, so I went,. You should have just walked right out. I just didn't see it.
So I went, I immediately just like looked at the best.
I said nothing.
I turned around.
I walked out and I just grabbed the air.
You didn't say so.
Oh, I, when I came back, I was like, so sorry.
I came back with like a whole thing of paper towels that I just took from like the entrance.
The car's older.
Yeah, because I was like, well, it drinks a slippery, so sometimes you can get a paper towel.
Anyway, I just grabbed all that and I just like was mopping up all that stuff. I was like I'm sorry. I wish I was dead
I'm so
The movie was this pre-roll this was right before it was like it was before the movie started
Okay, I was on the like everyone was on the far bit and there was one gap and then all of them
So I had to sit next to them after doing that to them and I
and then all of them. So I had to sit next to them
after doing that to them.
And I was,
I was just gonna apologize.
At least she like did that thing.
I had a thing happen to me,
which I don't know if I had talked about in the podcast,
but it was my first and only time
I ever upgraded myself to business class on a flight to London.
And it's like the seats where you could like,
essentially lie down,
but it's like you're in a little pod,
and there's two pods that are facing
like opposite from each other. And I was like in the aisle, lie down, but it's like you're in a little pod and there's two pods that are facing like
opposite from each other. And I was like in the aisle and I guess the woman who was like sitting
in one that was like ahead of me, she had to like step over my legs to get out. It was like I
don't know how to better explain the situation, rather than like drawing it somehow. But I had a
tray that had my drink on it, which was a bloody Mary,
because I'm gonna have a drink if I get it for free.
Of course.
She starts getting over my legs,
and I guess she's not paying attention
because she just kind of like turns herself around.
She kicks over my bloody Mary onto me.
So not only does it pool into my whole lap
but also into my entire chair,
and it's not just like water.
This is tomato juice and vodka
and all the stuff that a bloody Mary has.
And she's like, oh,
let me go get someone.
Not once did she was like, oh my God, I'm so sorry.
Like that is my bad.
Like cause I get it, mistakes happen.
I'm not pissed, but I'm just like,
I, this is also an hour into a 10 hour flight.
I don't have a change of clothes, like,
this fucking sucks, like at least apologize.
That's all I want.
She's just like, oh, let me go, let me go get someone for you.
I'm like, okay.
I'm like, I'm so fucking rich.
Shit, like, oh, let me, let me get someone to fix this.
Thanks, appreciate it.
Yeah.
I was at a pizza restaurant one time, and this, this couple was eating dinner together, Let me get someone to fix this. Thanks. Appreciate it. Yeah.
I was at a pizza restaurant one time and this couple was eating dinner together and I
was with my family and they're just eating and stuff like that.
And it's like one of those like family restaurants.
So it's like a little bit loud, you know, like people talking and then they have like music
playing.
And the lady, I guess was reaching across her like crushed pepper or something, maybe Parmesan,
who knows what kind of a night it was reaching across her like, crushed pepper or something, maybe Parmesan, who knows what kind of an night it was?
And she knocks her glass over and it spills
and then it goes into her husband's lap.
And then like a couple of people look and stuff like that
and she just started laughing because she was embarrassed.
She was like, oh my God, I'm so sorry.
You know, kind of like giggling and stuff like that.
The husband is fucking beat red.
And then he takes his drink and then splashes it into her face.
What?
What?
And the whole fucking restaurant just went dead quiet and all eyes were on this guy.
And then she's still like, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, our meal and stuff like that and that was like all we could think about and as soon as we stepped up the door
I remember turning to my parents was like god that guy was a dick. I wonder where he is like what an asshole at turn around
He's standing outside
Like oh my god, I honestly I wouldn't be ashamed. I'm like yeah, he is an asshole. Let me talk about this louder
I remember saying that and I was like probably in middle school, but then I was just like
Fuck that guy like that was like the point where like I think like you know, even if he is an adult
I'm a bit disrespectful because like I was a dick. Yeah, that's a that's like anger management issues or something
Why why is that his reaction?
Yeah, I think it's a year old, six year olds reaction.
Yeah, that's a psychopath reaction.
Yeah, I don't like that at all.
I don't know why people are cruel to each other, especially in public.
Like my god, if you're like, I mean, don't be mean to each other at all.
I mean, be cruel to each other behind closed doors.
Like, come back close doors.
Obviously, like an accident.
This person didn't do something on purpose
to try to like humiliate them or piss them off.
Sounds like he is in our issues potentially.
Yeah, I'm wondering actually,
like if I witnessed the beginnings of a divorce,
like just right then and there.
You might have liked it.
I could almost guarantee those two people aren't together anymore.
I would bet good money on that.
You know how some people like if someone's choking in a restaurant, they ask if anyone's a doctor.
Do you think it would have been inappropriate to ask if anyone was a divorce lawyer?
Like, right.
I'm just going to say divorce lawyer.
Help me.
Imagine see.
Any cool if you could just divorce two people right there and then if they wanted to like perform
marriages, if I could just like perform divorces to is like, if I had to keep an even number,
like if I do a marriage, I have to do a divorce.
Like I have to keep my net at zero.
Yeah.
Is there anybody you don't guess like any couples or any people at Rishi that you know
that you wouldn't want to marry that you would like refuse to marry. No, nobody like that, but I think that I'm done. I think I don't want to do it
anymore. All right, well I answered my question. I should probably say it. Why, do you, do you want?
No, I'm just kidding. Okay. I looked over here. It's not for anybody in particular, just like,
I don't know. I feel like I'm a
distraction when I do it. I don't want to distract from people's weddings anymore. So that's
it. I'm retired. What? No. Retiring. No more. No. It was the last wedding you performed,
the one where I got married to Michael and Minecraft. No.
You did another one after that?
Wow. Yeah.
I had been Jordan and Hollis.
Yeah, that was that one.
It was like a year ago.
Yeah.
And that was a good way.
It's good to go out on a high note.
Yeah.
That was a great wedding.
You did great too.
You were like funny, but sentimental.
It was awesome.
Have you done some shit weddings?
Have I done a shit wedding?
Have you done one way you went home
and you were like, that wasn't my best work?
I don't think so. I think like all the ones I've done, I you went home and you were like, that wasn't my best work.
I don't think so.
I think like all the ones I've done, I know the people.
So that helps, right?
Like being able to genuinely talk about knowing them
and being able to genuinely talk about them as opposed to just like reading
some boilerplate stuff.
And I think that's part of it.
It's like, I feel like there's a lot of pressures or write something that's good
and put together like a good ceremony. It's like, especially in front of people's families.
Like it's not just like people are shooting.
It's also like both sides of each family.
Yeah, you know, when they obscure a family,
that's to be like, who the hell is this guy?
My Bubby though would love it though.
If you officiated our wedding because my Bubby loves you guys.
I'll show up.
I'll hang out with her.
What, who was that?
I think it was that Jack's wedding. Someone thought I was show up. I'll hang out with her. I think it was at Jack's wedding.
Someone thought I was a priest.
Like one of the, one of the, one of the,
one of the people who are there.
The ceremony.
Someone commented how the priest was drinking beer after the ceremony.
Well, I priest, I priest a lot to drink.
Yeah, it was drinking wine, blood of Christ. Was that the one, I think I was got to drink. I've been drinking wine. Blood of Christ.
Was that the one?
I think I was there for that.
That was on Lake Austin, right?
Like it was overseeing the...
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I remember showing up in the exact same outfit
as Kyle and I think I was relatively new
to the company at that point.
And I was like,
I mean, same outfit, isn't it just like a button up shirt
and pants?
Like, is there a,
Yeah, it's like the same color and everything,
and I was like, the fuck's up,
so it's over this guy, this is my outfit.
That's what I couldn't really like, Kyle
as much as I do now, I like Kyle Pliny.
Back then I was like,
I probably just didn't know him.
Is it because he was like the other buff guy?
Yeah, it's because he was the other buff guy.
Yeah, he was, yeah.
We're good now. I like, I like.
If you had to pick somebody from Richard teeth to officiate y'all's wedding
and Gus pretend you're not married already. Who do you think you'd pick? Genuinely.
Interesting question to be anybody.
I think Bernie, because I just want to see him again. Oh
I would pick the CEO of AT&T held
Mr. John Stanky down Stanky hell yeah, I would pick someone who I feel like really wouldn't want to do it
Like maybe Eric.
Feel like it would be really like pull out by it.
Eric, you down?
Yeah, do it.
He'll do it. Yeah.
You blame to a toaster. I'll do whatever you guys want.
You just line it up. I'll knock it out.
Is it facing front or facing sideways though?
That's tough. It depends on where the crowd is and where the buttons are, I guess.
That's all. That's why the way. That is impressive. Did you have any dumb kitchen arguments last week
that I missed on? I missed out on. It was at the plates last week. Oh, was that what was the plates?
Yeah, I had two sides plates. Yeah, well someone brought it up in chat in the pre-stream and I was
like, you know what? I'm in my kitchen because this is before I brought my computer back up to my office.
So I was like, I'll just go grab some plates and see if there's ever a law in conversation.
I could bust out the plates.
And it was another argument naturally.
And then there was another type of law in the conversation.
That was good, Blaine.
Thank you.

You freaked out before the podcast.
You was complaining.
Yeah, because he always messages everybody on Slack
and I'll be like, hey, this is the link for the thing
that we're going to connect to.
I think I can pull up the conversation.
I was like initially like, all caps.
I'm on the podcast and then he sent all within like 10 seconds
of each other, question mark, question mark, question mark.
You're not. You're on the invite.
I can talk to Gus, question mark,
unless you're doing a bit.
Let me know quickly if you're doing a very good bit.
He's panic.
This is panic.
What's the pressure?
That was that from 408 to then he answered all of that
and like it was in 409 so it was like within like,
so listen to me now or before we went live.
Lane does that though.
That's a fucking recurring joke with Blaine.
He did this to me when we were on our way to Connecticut
for the sponsor thing for Annabelle,
which is like, there was one flight to the city
where we were going to,
and then we had to take like a two hour car ride
to this other place and it was like a whole thing.
And I was on the plane and it was like,
gonna be taking off in like 15 or 20 minutes.
I hadn't seen Blaine yet.
And I was like, hey, dude, you at the airport yet?
Like, I'm on the plane.
And I think he texted me like two minutes later.
He's like, fuck, I just woke up, holy shit.
Like any starts like, I'm like,
dude, are you fucking kidding me?
Now I have to go to Connecticut by myself.
Are you crazy?
No.
Anywhere but there.
Not to make you feel unspecial.
I do that to every friend group.
I did it to my Japan group
and they were fucking losing their minds.
I did it to Chris when we were going to LA
and I got him to even talk to a flight attendant
to see if she could stop the plane for me.
And I mean, well, I'm watching this.
I'm watching this.
I'm watching watching just like, Yeah.
So like I love doing that shit where it's like I like to freak people out and lure them
into a false state of insecurity before I break the news and everything's fine.
And then I give my flight got delayed because you did that and I missed my connection.
I'd be so pissed.
I was going to step in right before I knew
that she wasn't going to stop the flight for me.
But like, I like freaking people out,
making them think that all is lost
before I'm just like, it's okay.
Hey, I'm here. It's fine.
And my old job before Ruchitise, it was a traveling job.
I spent five days out of the week on a plane
traveling to different cities around the United States.
And on one of the first trips I went on,
we always had to fly super early in the morning.
It's like first thing, so it's like a 5 a.m. flight or something.
So I was there at the airport,
and the guy I was supposed to be traveling with,
who obviously had been at the company for a long time,
isn't there.
Like the plane's getting ready to board, he's not there.
So I called him.
He's back in 1999.
This is my playback in the year 2000.
Anyway, I called him and I'm like, what's going on?
Where are you?
Like the planes about a board.
And he says, I woke up late.
I'm parking my car.
I'm in the garage right now.
Do not let that plane take off.
Oh, I was like, what?
That's so much pressure to put on you.
It's so not fair.
I hate that.
I was like, they are boarding right now, dude.
He's like, I know, I know.
I was like, I'm going to run there.
Don't worry. So I was like, shit, so we hung up the phone. And I was like, I was standing there at the gate. And they're like, they are boarding right now, dude. He's like, I know, I know. I was like, I'm gonna run there. I don't worry. So I was like, shit, so we hung up the phone
and I was standing there at the gate.
And they're like, all right, last call to board.
You know, if you're going to, wherever we're going,
going to Chicago, get on the plane now.
I was like, all right, I need a fake an asthma attack
or something.
I was like, what am I gonna do?
So I started like trying to hyperventilate myself.
And then like, right, as I'm doing this,
like a bottle, like throw a fit, he like runs up.
Like he just cleared the security and got there just in time. He was like, all right, I'm here this like about it like throw a fit he like runs up like he just cleared the security and got there
Just in time. I'm like all right. I'm here. I was like you fucking asshole
Try to stop a plane from taking off. It's a good thing
It's the awesome airport because that's probably why you got bot like got through so quickly the security line there
Especially if you're like TSA pre-check. It's a breeze. Well, this was pre September 11th
So I just ran to the plane door.
The shi thing about COVID is like, I used to have
plane anxiety, like ages ago, first one, two, three, or four,
you know, plane rides because like, it's still a very new process to me. I was always afraid I was
going to miss my flight. Like, there was like the kind of lingering, you know, feeling that the
plane's going to crash or something. And then I got over that like entirely because I've been flying so much. I haven't
flown in so long. And now with like COVID kind of hanging over, I feel like my anxiety towards
air travel is gonna just like hit me even harder when I get back to it. Yeah. Just listen to Black
Box Down. You'll be fine. You won't be nervous about flying it all. That's the other different
thing. Now that that shows around I'm like listening Oh, God. I really want to listen to that show on a plane. I think it'll be fun. I'll
save the tenoree episode for that one. I don't think I have the moment of like, wait,
does this mean that pilots are out of practice because they're not flying as much? And does
that mean that there might be higher risk of an accident because they had a practice? But
I don't think that flying close your eyes don't worry, I don't think it's
true.
But that's still just why.
Yeah, they're still fine.
These people start on the plane.
They're still fine.
Okay.
There's less flights, but they're still flying.
I on the black box down social, which you should be following
on Twitter and Instagram at black box down pod.
Today, I posted a video.
We had a listener send us a video from the cockpit of a
747 of St.
L.
Mose fire, the effect happening on the windscreen of the plane as it's
flying at cruising altitude.
And it looks super fucking cool.
So it looks like you know, like when the emperor and Star Wars like
shoots the lightning from his hands, it looks like that.
But on the on the windscreen of the plane, as it's flying.
And then you, if you listen closely, you on the on the windscreen of the plane as it's flying And then you if you listen closely you can hear on the radio so on saying
I'm
Limit in power
Hey guess laughter. It's a good one. I keep you good joke. I keep checking my phone because I don't know when if he's gonna show up
I'm really excited
You can show up so you can talk about that. Did you on
air? No. Oh, so yeah, I guess. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So socially distance, I'm letting if
he come lift in my garage, and I'm super stoked because I know that he hasn't lifted like
proper weights in a while. And now that I have a little home gym,
I know he's gonna really appreciate it.
And I also stocked up the refrigerator full of protein shakes
and pickle juice,
because I know that if he likes pickles.
Good man, very good man.
I'm excited for him to just get a fucking good lift in,
drink some tea.
Have you met him in person?
I don't know if I have.
Yeah, he was there for the stand-up night. Oh yeah, I don't know if I have. Yeah, he was there for the standup night.
Oh yeah.
I don't know TX.
Yeah, the kind of funny standup.
Yeah, he's fucking killed it.
I remember seeing him and I was like,
dude, that guy is super jacked and he's fucking hilarious.
And then I got sad because it's like, I want to be that.
I've never met him.
I hope to one day beat him and see all of you again.
It one day.
Yeah, it was weird.
I saw when I went for my COVID test last week, Barbara was also in the parking lot.
So I saw Barbara like across the parking lot, we both rolled our windows down and waved
at each other.
Yeah, that was funny.
That was the first time we saw each other in person since I guess our podcast in March,
yeah.
And I knew that we were both had to get tested today because we were both shooting the next day.
And so when I saw your cry, I was like, it's guys.
Well, we had been also doing something.
I think we had been streaming right up until four.
So I think like we both ended that stream
and then went to go do our test.
I think we both were there at the same time.
Yeah.
So it was fun.
And I was like, don't worry, guys, it'll be great.
Because I had already, that was my third one at that point.
And I think it was your first, right?
So.
Yeah.
It's uncomfortable, for sure, but not terrible.
Yeah, Trevor had one today, too,
because he has to go to the studio for something.
And I was like, I'll come with you.
I know I wanted someone there with me when I did mine.
And he was like, it wasn't too bad.
He coughed a lot during his.
My eye watered like crazy. It was just like. His nose, it wasn't too bad. He coughed a lot during his. I watered like crazy.
Which is like.
His nose watered his eye water.
He coughed.
For me, I was just like, okay.
They said in the guide that they recommend that you sit on your hands and I was like,
that can't be good.
Like they're trying to prevent you from having an instinctive bottle or reaction to go,
ah, so I'm.
I really, that's why I thought maybe it was just like putting pressure on
another part of your body to focus on or something.
I think it's so you don't swat it.
I bet I wouldn't even feel it.
I bet.
I get a tiny little nose.
I barely felt it at all.
So I don't think that has anything to do with it.
Okay.
I think it's just I think it's a mixture of like the person who is ministering the test
and like how they go and how gentle they are and whatnot.
And also maybe the way like your nasal passage is shaped inside is determining how it feels.
But for me, it I barely felt anything.
It feels like I have water at my nose all of a sudden.
What's strange to me is like for those tests that we take or that, you know, I barely felt anything. It feels like I have water at my nose all of a sudden. What's strange to me is like for those tests that we take,
or that, I assume everyone takes the test that I took,
I had my results in an hour and 15 minutes
after taking the test.
My mother had to take a COVID test last week
and she got hers like two days later.
So it's weird to me how like,
you can get results quickly
or you end up having to wait a long time for them.
Well, didn't it used to be like a week or two
before you get results when this was like first,
like really crazy?
Yeah, there was no rapid testing initially
because I heard a huge issue.
Someone it took them, I think, three weeks to get theirs
and then it's like, what's the fucking point?
No, I'm not sick anymore. Yeah, you don't have COVID, three weeks to get theirs and then it's like, what's the fucking point? No, let's take anymore.
Yeah, you don't have COVID three weeks ago.
Well, it's like, then you got a quarantine until you get your results.
So it's like, as you're waiting, I mean, you should be quarantining anyways
in socially distancing anyways and acting as if you have it all the time.
Because that's how you keep people safe.
But it's still frustrating when you're like, I'm waiting for my results.
I have no idea if I have it.
So I have to act like I do.
It's really more when you're like, I'm waiting for my results. I have no idea if I have it. So I have to act like I do. It's really more data on the transmission,
make transmission, make transmission rate on planes.
Like the people get it from planes if they were.
It's actually very unlikely.
So I read that as well that it's super low, but the airline industry did that study.
It's like how much do you trust them?
After listening to the results.
This show I know called Black Box Down and knowing how often airplane companies will cover
shit up for their benefit, you know, I don't believe that at all.
What the fuck?
It's an article on, it's an article.
It's surprising.
ABC News, their website, it says, risk of COVID-19 exposure on planes virtually non-existent
when masked
study shows.
And then below that, it says, this was conducted by the Department of Defense and United
Airlines.
No, no, no, no, no.
Pass.
And they just put it on like the recycled air being a factor of like, it doesn't stay
in the air long enough?
Well, I think the other thing they said was that, if I remember, I think I read that
same one.
It's like the study only covered if everybody wore a mask the entire time and nobody stood up or moved.
Oh, wow. Okay.
Well, of course, people are going to take their masks off to eat or drink and people are
going to use the bathroom. So it's like, well, then it's worthless. Like, if you can convince
everyone to sit perfectly still, not move and keep their mask on and you trust united airlines,
yeah, sure. Why would you take it off if you go in for a shit or something, though?
I'm talking about eating or drinking.
If you want to drink, yeah.
And then if someone uses a toy that obviously it's going to send particles flying everywhere.
Yeah. If it's a short enough flight,
I don't think it's obviously too much an issue.
I think the longer flight is probably more dangerous because at that point you have to eat,
you have to drink, you have to get up to the use of bathroom,
at least a couple times. But I also like, because I might have to go
to Los Angeles for something in the next few months and trying to weigh my options of like
trying versus driving, but driving, then you have to stop multiple places like gas stations
and bathroom and for food and it's like the amount of time you have to stop.
But do you like that astronaut who drove from Texas to Florida? I'm also not gonna drive like 20 22 or whatever it is
Our straight like you're gonna have to stop so wherever night
It's just just just take some math where diaper you'll be fine
If you got a hundred miles an hour the entire way you could do it you doing like 10
Haven't you know anything about driving? You don't do it.
Just press the pedal really hard, right?
Yeah, fuck traffic, fuck anything else. Never stop.
There was a video long ago. I don't know if I have the footage where I like Gavin
drive my car. And I was like, Oh, he really isn't. This isn't a goof. Like he
doesn't know shit about cars.. Was that for FMDB?
No, yeah, we were filming something
and then I let you, I was gonna let you drive
to like the next location, but he was on the same lot.
It was like, it was like 100, 200 meters or something.
I don't even know why I was driving the car.
I took that in a, in Bernie's car too, for a vine.
But I'm like, I've only ever driven a manual car,
where you know, you like shove your foot on the clutch,
but I did, there was, it was automatic at Bernie's,
so I just shoved that foot on the brake,
but like breaking with that foot is like super harsh,
so we all just went,
ugh.
It's fun.
It's fun driving other people's cars
because I get to draw you them,
look at their faces
Well, I'll do it also what did what did you tell me the other day like you could
Drive a car without a license and get like a fine. I was looking up like what the
The fine it just in case it's like I got a quickly drive somewhere in an emergency like what would be
What would happen if you got pulled over by the police and I just don't have a license and it's like
$200 fine
Yeah, if you keep doing it then they'll like arrest you and stuff
But I was like wow you could like anyone could just get a car and drive and you just pay
Like a game console to get out of it. That's
Sorry officer. I've got a PlayStation in my back seat
I guess console's a more half a game console.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But after being told me that, I thought you were talking about like if you get pulled
over and you don't have your physical license on you, but you're like, no, if you just
don't have a license.
Yeah, I don't, I mean, I didn't really read too much into it.
Maybe if you've never had one, maybe it's different, but I don't know.
Maybe like an expired one is to, I have no idea. I don't want read too much into it. Maybe if you've never had one, maybe it's different, but I don't know. Maybe like an expired one is two.
I have no idea.
I don't want to do that.
If I'd known that, I'd probably would have gone
and gotten my license renewed,
because it was up and then like,
they said that you didn't have to go,
like if you got pulled over,
you would not have gotten fines
because of the whole COVID situation.
But then I read something else
that I had to get it renewed.
So anyways, they opened it up back up.
So I went to the DMV to get it renewed
and I'm wearing my mask.
I'm like, I wear two masks everywhere,
just because peace of mind.
And so it gets to the point where they needed to take
my new photo because my old photo was like when I was like,
20 and she's like, okay, just,
I don't, maybe, I don't know,
but she said go ahead and stand up against the background and go ahead and remove your mask. And I remember it was just like, okay, I don't maybe, I don't know, but she said go ahead and stand up against the background and go ahead and remove your mask
And I remember it was just like it was like she asked me to take off my clothes. I was like
And then she was like all right smile and I was like like clearly uncomfortable and like
Yeah, I put it back on cuz like some dude like two booths down is like
because like some dude like two booths down is like, I know it's like, oh god.
But I know, why didn't you do this online?
Why did you go in?
Because you can only do online once every other trip.
And I already did mine because I had to do an address change.
I'm pretty sure you could do it.
Never.
No, it wouldn't let me, I promise you. I know that I can't do it online because I'm not sure you could do it. Never. No, it wouldn't let me. I promise you.
I know that I can't do it online because I'm not a citizen.
So I actually have to physically go to the DMV whenever I
want anything on my license changed because I need to also
show up at Green Card and they need to process all this other stuff.
I can't just renew it online, which sucks because there
was something for my taxes that I needed this year where I needed
the address changed on my license.
But I couldn't do that because I had to go in person.
And this was in like March or April
when all of this stuff was like really getting bad.
And I was like, I'm not gonna risk going to the DNV
where there's like people sitting everywhere.
This is also before like the masks mandate
really became a thing.
And I'm just like, I don't wanna go,
like I'm not gonna risk myself
so I could like get a bit more of a tax cut here, tax break, whatever it is, like, fuck that shit. I'll pay like a
lecture a few hundred bucks for this to not have to risk my long term health. Right. So annoying.
That's a tough call, right? Like, how much is your health and well-being worth, even especially in
those early days when we weren't sure exactly? I guess we still at this point don't know the long-term effects of it.
Nope. It still feels freaky going out. You guys were talking about how you had run ends with
each other on campus. I saw Jessica and Devon, like in the early morning of Saturday when I was
going to Home Depot to pick up some stuff, and I saw this couple approach me and they're like,
what, what is that?
Yeah, and I turned on and I knew
and silly was Jessica and Devon.
And I immediately started going in for a hug
and then I was just like, I had to like stop myself.
I was like, wait, when I, this isn't a lot anymore.
And then we just stood our part and I miss people.
Especially Jessica.
I miss you. Yeah. You miss Jessica? I miss Jessica. Especially Jessica. Yeah, you miss Jessica.
I miss Jessica. I haven't seen her in so long.
She's just such a loving presence.
And it's just nice seeing her in Devon.
She's fabulous. Yeah.
Absolutely.

Some of us might see her this week or we'll see her this week when we do some shoots at the
office. She's producing a deadlil roosters. So, uh, yeah, we're gonna, I think we're,
we're gonna miss her again this coming week in Dye's cast because of that. That's why she wasn't on last week
She's not gonna be on this week again because of that
So hopefully she comes back soon. Hopefully she'll be back the week after
I saw I want there's something I wanted to talk about
Before we get too far. Oh into this podcast Blaine. I saw you also have your I voted sticker as do I
Right here
I don't know why Barbara and Gavin don't have
their stickers. So I'm very ashamed of you too. But I saw there was a promotion where, well,
first of all, I guess Travis County and Texan Geron has had like super crazy early voting numbers.
It's been like off the off the charts, which is super cool. But I saw in the Austin subreddit
that apparently if you go to home slice with your I voted sticker, they'll give you a free slice of pizza and they'll give
you like a custom home slice I voted sticker. And it's got like the little, the, their
little mascot, like the little pizza girl says I voted. And that's cute. I don't, I haven't,
obviously, I haven't done it. I haven't swapped it out yet. I wanted to worry this one
for the podcast. I want to go like during the week I can't swapped it out yet. I wanted to worry this one for the podcast. I wanna go like during the week, I can't,
like I said, I tried to eat plant-based,
so I couldn't eat the pizza during the week.
So I wanna go and just be like, hey, I don't wanna slice.
Can you just give me the sticker so I can swap it out?
I'm just like, I'm just like,
I'm just like, I haven't had home slices.
It's such a long time.
I'm imagining it right now.
I had to switch my camera
because my other camera overheated for those of you who are wondering, I just wanna point that out. I can imagining it right now. I had to switch my camera because my other camera
overheated for those of you who are wondering, I just want to point that out. I can switch
my camera too. You seem so much colder. I'm pulling away at how many. How many can
stream a camera's can't be on. I just, it's, it's, I don't know what happened. Something
changed where all of a sudden now keeps overheating. I was using this one for like months in quarantine
just on for the podcast.
And now it just overheats after an hour.
Mine overheats if I press record, but I mean, I'm just looking
for that one.
I have a dummy battery in it.
It's just chill out.
It's just normal.
Oh, yeah.
So a slight of a jump.
It's tighter.
It's my close up.
A Sony camera.
Oh, see, if it's more this way, a Sony camera overheating say it isn't so Barbara.
I know how crazy. What are the chances of that? Gus never seen it.
Did you guys ever see that video of Tom Hanks at like a consumer?
See, see, see, see, see, see,
community. You got it.
You got it. Come on.
It was like an electronics expo, but it wasn't. There's, you got it, you got it, you got it, come on.
It was like an electronics expo, but it wasn't neat.
I don't, there's so many of them,
I don't know, you have to tell me.
The one in Vegas, the one in Vegas, I have to go.
C, C, C, what?
C, B, S.
All right, anyways, Tom Hanks, he's up there.
C, C, B, S, I'm February.
And it was, basically, the story is that they,
he was doing a movie for Sony,
and they wrote in his contract.
CES.
CES.
Oh, don't talk.
Oh.
So he's, they wrote in his contract that they had to, that he had to do a speech for Sony
at CES.
And I guess he had overlooked it and didn't realize that.
But he basically on stage is just like
shitting all over Sony and it's the fucking funniest thing.
He's like, he's like, walk around, I was like,
Sony, Sony, Sony, I see it everywhere.
I see it when I turn on my Sony phone,
when I open my Sony Vio, when I'm on set, I see Sony cameras.
And he's like reading a teleprompter
and when he says the Sony camera thing
He's like, oh, that's a lie. And then he's just like he's so clearly just shitting on the scribes
I highly recommend that you watch it. It's the funniest shit ever. I think I've seen that I've also seen the one where Michael Bay just
Sort of goes into some weird trance and leaves in the middle of
Presenting whatever the hell he was talking about.
That was scary.
That was scary.
That was scary.
That was scary.
Yeah.
That was scary.
That was scary.
That was scary.
That was scary.
That was scary.
That was scary.
That was scary.
That was scary.
That was scary.
That was scary.
That was scary.
That was scary.
That was scary.
That was scary.
That was scary. That was scary. That was scary. That was scary. That was scary. That was scary. I wonder how long, like I like to think in the middle, if we hadn't said anything in the middle of the night, he just wanted to like, shot up, set up and finish.
Yes.
I was at CDC, but that's not.
I think you did say it first.
I was over the weekend, I made a tweet,
like I had been thinking about this.
I've been trying to mentally,
I've been trying to contextualize,
like how long was teeth had has been around
and you know, all the different things that we've done.
Like 17 years is a long time.
I just really started thinking about it.
And just over two years, we'll hit 20 years.
And I don't know why my brain went here,
but I started thinking about,
we've been doing this for so long that
Jeff and I were at an event and we went and saw
X-Men the last stand in the theater on opening weekend.
And that movie feels like it came out a thousand years ago.
And that was three years into doing research.
Yeah, I think I remember going, it was like after a convention day.
And I'd come and be with us, I think I was with Jason.
And we went and watched the first Transformers.
It was me, it was you and me.
It was you and me, Jason.
We were in New Jersey. We were at an event in Jersey and we walked over to the movie theater and we watched
the first transformers. And that was 13 years ago, somebody. It's a fucking long time ago.
Yeah. That was a new movie when we were doing conventions. It's crazy. That's the convention where
you hid in the hotel room by pretending to be the pillow. You know how like you get into a hotel, like the beds made very tightly and the pillows
are like covered by the bed spread.
You haven't removed the pillows and laid across the bed.
And then I put the bed spread back over him and he looked just like the pillows.
Genius, that's a great place to hide.
It's a way of like just a nicely made bed, but my hand is coming out of the pillows.
I should find that. It's a place in some way of like just a nicely made bed, but my hand is coming out of the pillars.
I should find that.
We used to occupy ourselves in different ways.
It was like, smartphones weren't really around, so we couldn't just like goof off on our
phones.
We had to make real entertainment.
And it sucks because since smartphones went around, like we really don't have footage
of that or anything.
It's like, like you said, there's a photo of it that might exist.
Like, we don't have footage of that or anything. It's like like you said, there's a photo of it that might exist. Yeah. Like we don't we don't have access to that anymore.
And there was that time where I was you were on the phone and I was jumping on your bed,
but I slipped spilled water all over you.
And you were on the phone, you're like, hang on one second.
And then you started like throwing pillows.
We were like children asleep over the bed.
The best ever experience was I think it was well
here was it it might have been like Comic Con 2005 maybe or 2006 when we were
playing new Super Mario Brothers and you and I were in that game like we were
playing that multiplayer aspect of the game and the game ever going on forever
and finally when the game ended the game ever going on forever. And finally when the game ended, the game had been going on so long that when it ended, I won and I got, I was so happy.
I ripped my shirt off and started screaming and running around the hotel room.
Man.
It was a different time.
Yeah.
I was at the embassy suite, so we're there down the road from the Convention Center in San Diego. So it was like, it was like the living room in the bedroom. And I was like it was a that was at the at a embassy suite so we're there down the road from the convention center in San Diego
So it was like it was like the living room in the bedroom and I started like doing laps from the living room into the bedroom
Like all around the hotel screaming because I was so happy that I won and then we had the the rest of the wrestling match in London
London that was a good one you super Mario bros when did that come out that one?
That was a good one. You super Mario Bros.
When did that come out?
That was through that May 2006.
So it would have been that summer 2006.
Long ago, this thing is going to be until conventions could happen again realistically.
It's a long story short.
It's been a fucking long ass time.
Yeah.
I've read, I don't know if anybody else uses these, but I have this new obsession lately.
And it's kind of unhealthy.
I think I'm gonna need to stop.
But, no, you obsession, stop.
There's a new feature on Apple Watches
where it measures how long you wash your hands for,
and it gives you like a little alert
letting you know that you wash your hands for long enough.
And I find myself washing my hands more and more
to like see how many times in a day I can wash my hands
because it'll track over time too,
like how much you wash your hands.
And it's like, you know, in using the Apple Watch
you can have like exercise competitions with other people.
But I want to start like hand washing competitions with people.
Like who can wash their hands the most
or who has the longest average time for washing your hands?
Like I'm tracking all these metrics now,
and it's like super easy.
It's like right there, and I'm like,
I, this is unhealthy.
I need, like, it's good to wash your hands.
That's a good thing.
It's bad to obsess over it and be like,
I need to wash my hands for an average amount of time
more than anybody else in the world.
Yeah, that's like one or two steps away
from flicking the light switch on and off
before you leave a room, I think.
That's on that sort of level.
Pretty close. Yeah. But, uh, yeah, leave a room, I think. That's on that sort of level. Pretty close.
Yeah.
But, uh, yeah, it's up.
I, I, I don't need to know that.
I, I was washing my hands fine before I've been washing my hands fine for 42 years.
I don't need that alert.
I, I probably should disable it, but I'm not going to still refusing to get an apple
watch until they put a camera on it because I want a Dick Tracy spy watch.
Like, if I can't talk to someone,
like James Bond is or something,
like with someone seeing my face from my watch
then I don't want it.
Do you think I was ever gonna do that?
I think that's pointless.
Yeah, it's pretty pointless.
Then I'm gonna, I'm never gonna get one then,
because I want a Dick Tracy watch.
You could see through your phone's camera on your watch.
No, I don't care about that.
Because then I'd be holding my phone at that point.
Like I might as well just be on the phone.
Yeah.
Use a phone for your phone call.
Do you not have an Apple watch?
I thought you had an Apple watch, Blaine.
No, I have every other, every other,
I have every other thing.
I got the AirPods Pro things.
And those things are fucking great.
I want an Apple Watch, I really do.
But I just like, I don't know why I'm drawing a line
in the sand at camera on watch.
Dude, if you ever get it, I'm gonna walk you talk to you.
That's my favorite feature of this whole watch.
It's just so dumb and so, like I can understand the point
to it, but just like fucking with your friends of this,
is just the best part of that.
Yeah, it's fun.
They're putting out a new telephone soon.
You tell the phone.
What are you, what?
We need a new iPhone.
Well, they got some, yeah, they come out this Friday,
that I think pre-order started last Friday
and they start shipping this coming Friday.
I'll be honest, there's too many freaking iPhones in this generation now.
There's like, there's so many.
Four, there's the mini, the normal, the probe, and the Pro Max.
Yeah, there's four.
That should have been the Mini Max as well.
The Mini Max.
Just for a fifth one.
I have a question for you.
I don't know.
Any of you watch that Apple presentation where they like unveiled the phones and like they go on for 75 minutes about how they're changing the world
and how fucking great they are and Jack and Jack and Jack. Sometimes, yeah.
Is my name weird enough to work at Apple? Because it's like every person they cut to has like a
really unusual name or an unusually spelled name. And I was watching and I was like,
is Gustavo a strange enough name? Could I work at Apple?
And I was watching and I was like, is Gustavo a strange enough name? Could I work at Apple?
Like we said to pull a lot of people with our new carbon neutral steel.
Like, so you're stood out there on the roof, like with all the solar panels.
Yeah, I think they just pull a lot of people from European countries.
I think Apple has a lot of Europeans working there.
Johnny, I'm still there. No, I think he pissed a lot of Europeans work in that. Mm. Johnny, I'm still there.
Mm.
No.
I think he pissed off.
Yeah.
Oh, OK.
I haven't been keeping up with Apple.
Like, the Apple events, those are ones
where I can just read the article that happens after the fact.
I am no longer hyped for Apple products,
except for if they put a camera on the Apple watch,
I don't give a fuck, because it's just a phone.
But like, I'll watch trailers for because it's just it's a phone. But like I'll watch trailers for you know
trailer for a phone
No, no, no, no, like I'll watch like Xbox press conference shit because that's that's a different feel that hits different
but like Apple
Yeah
Unless it's like here's always like here's a seven minute video summary of everything Apple announced.
I'm just like, why don't Apple make that?
Why do they want to put out like a two hour,
10 minute, freaking video?
They've got great production value.
I will say that, like some of their transitions
and the way that they do it all, I'm like,
all right, that's top notch.
They fucking kill it.
It turns out when you're worth like $2 trillion,
you can buy it.
You could buy like an $,000 dollar camera set up.
Someone even notice.
It's not a real camera.
The girl with pink hair says, if I go by travel, then I'm set.
Oh, yeah.
That's a cool name.
I like that.
But the stuff that they showed Apple, it's not even like the real thing.
It's all like a computer like all those close-ups and shit.
That's all just like, it's computer animation.
And since it's not like a human face,
there's no uncanny valley.
So it's just, it just all looks like close-ups.
Really tight.
Do you want them to be wasting time photographing a real phone
with real lenses and lights?
Or are you okay with them just shitting out a render that takes like,
yeah. one person,
not very much of the thing.
But also like to get those angles too
because it's always floating in those shots, right?
And like rotating stuff, like they would have to get
someone to film it and slow them like toss up the phone
and get like the perfect shot.
Yeah, cool, I would watch that.
Yeah, I could and it should, that would be rad.
Because I think it put you like on a fan.
And it was like, I bet you would show up, you would show up to Apple, your first day Apple,
you'd be like, I'm gonna revolutionize the revolutionized.
The revolutionized.
The revolutionized.
Well, photography, the videos are gonna be real.
We're gonna like Christopher Nolan, this freaking iPhone trailer.
And then you'll like edit the video on your little laptop
and give it to them and they'll be like,
it's like a reflection of the camera in this shot.
There's some like, schmutz and dust on the phone.
You'd be like, maybe we should just render it.
Okay.
They, during a bummer's back,
during that event, they like tried to show like,
you can incorporate all of these wonderful products
in your home and like part of the set was like a cutaway house with like a car in the garage and like a living room
and a dining room and a bedroom and like people going through like the different
how parts of the house and I kept staring at it and it may be mad because they show like
all these different wonderful things you can do with their products but there were no
bathrooms in that house and I couldn't get over it in my mind.
I was like there's no bathrooms in that house. And I couldn't get over it in my mind. I was like, there's no bathroom.
Like this is so ridiculous.
Like you would have to have that built a room
that wasn't used in the video.
Yeah, okay.
Or if you want it to be like,
you can use your iPhone while taking a shit.
Right, yeah, just like,
honestly, that's where 90% of the time you use your phone is.
It's on the fucking toilet.
I was just like, that's the one point.
It's like, look, you can use your home pod everywhere.
Your toilet, your phone.
Yeah, Eric, 90%.
That's where everyone uses their phone.
No one uses their phone anywhere.
90% of the time.
What would you think it is?
10%.
10%?
What?
Like, I'm usually on my phone.
Like if I'm hanging out on my couch or like at my desk
and I have like a moment of downtime to look at something like I'll take this as a bathroom.
But I'm also not in the bathroom 90% of the time that I'm doing. I don't know.
That doesn't make sense. I will often get a new iPhone just so the constant videos that I take
are in, you know, they'll be like better future proof to get. So I'll look better for longer.
So I was looking at like, oh, what's this trading program
about?
Let me see how much I can get for my current phone,
which is 11, right here.
And I was like filling out the thing and they were like,
is it in good condition?
And I was like, because by default,
it's like you get like $500 off on my model of phone off the new
phone.
So I was like, oh cool.
And I slight to the button that was like, it's your phone in good condition and I looked
to the back of it, which looks like this.
So I was like, no, and it just changed from $500 to, we'll recycle your phone for free.
It's like shit.
Damn.
Damn it.
It's been a great year. I'm for free. I was like, shit.
Damn it. It's been a decade.
It's 11 months, I think, that I've had it.
Have you cut your hand on it?
No, but sometimes Glastas fall out of the back.
I mean, it's the back who gives a monkey.
Shite.
Shite.
I see a lot of percentages being dropped in the chat
about how often people use their phone in the bathroom
It's right in in our our own discord chat here
I see Eric and Cody talking and I see Chris is typing something Chris isn't even on this episode
Why is Chris about to chime in you could we could have him join the discord and say hello?
What do you get pulled in I think I don't think he would because he's not on me mix.. Yeah, he's not in this. Yeah, Eric. So they wouldn't really hear it. I also love how Chris
is named on discord because you could, you know, change your appearance of your name.
His is still big nanny Chris. And I don't know when that happened or why it happened,
but it's been like that for months. And he won't, where? Why does any change it? It's just Chris.
I mean, I like it. Big nanny Chris. He's still typing. He's won't, where? Why does any change it? It's just Chris. I mean, I like
it. Big Nanny Chris. He's still typing. He's still typing, by the way. I'll tell you
all what he says when he types it. I wonder what it would cost to buy. Go ahead.
Not watching the show and just getting the message notifications. It seems as though Eric is
panic guessing the percentage that Barb's camera is overheating and that it somehow depends on the amount she poops.
Hahaha.
And then he went, anyway, turning off note of Jesus.
Hahaha.
I think Cody sent him a link.
Yeah, what a journal call.
It's, it's okay.
We don't, we don't need any more Chris thing.
We got already. Yeah. Chai is actually't need any more Chris thing we got already.
Yeah.
Chad is actually suggesting the thing I was just going to suggest.
What if I just like, I fixed it the back of my phone for like a couple hundred and then
send it in, get the remaining 300 jobs are good.
That's a bit of a risk though, because what if, also, I think that that voids your warranty
and then I don't think they would accept it back, right?
I don't know.
That makes sense, yeah.
They probably have like, I probably just waved the phone over some sort of device.
It's like, nah, out of warranty.
Nah.
Uh-huh.
I, I, so we've been podcasting for a long time.
Do you think that if like, yeah, so many minutes now,
podcasting.
Yeah.
That's like, do you think like if we didn't work here,
like if you didn't work at Rooster Tees or if, you know,
you were just whatever doing any other job,
do you think you would be sitting at home like,
I'm going to start a podcast.
Do you think that if you weren't here working in this field,
that you would start your own podcast randomly?
No. Definitely not.
Me neither. I probably still make videos,
but I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know what kind of person I would be.
Rishwichi that has shaped my entire life.
I started watching when I was 14 and I'm 31.
So it's like, it's hard for me to picture if this didn't exist or I wasn't in this career,
like what my interests would even be if it would be an entertainment at all.
What if theoretically you found out, I'm going to answer my own question by asking it.
If you found out your life was better, if you had gone a different path,
would you have gone that path,
or would you still go to Ruchiteeth?
If it was better than you'd probably go
to the other path, I don't know why I'm asking.
Just ask, if your life was better at a different path,
would you take that path?
Yeah.
Deep questions with Blaine Gibson.
I gotta say, I would take whichever path
let me to Trevor.
So whatever that was.
Oh, sweet. Yeah, so cute. The fact that the fact that Ruchiteeth let me to Trevor. So, whatever that was. Oh, sweet.
Yeah, so cute.
So the fact that the fact that Rischthi
led me to Trevor, I will never want to change that.
But I found out that a path led me to Jennifer.
I can't even make fun of that.
I wanted to make fun of you at the moment you said it was like,
it's just really nice, isn't it?
That is very awesomeolesome. T.
All right.
Let's go ahead.
It's been a wee bit doing a podcast for way too long.
Let's go ahead and wrap up on that wholesome heartwarming note by Barbara Dunkelman.
I want to thank everyone for watching.
Mine's the same, by the way.
I would take the path to Trevor.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Of course, same here.
Thank you for watching.

let's get go home. Well, we already come. Go eat something.
