Hey, everyone, welcome to the Rooster Teeth Podcast. It's Christmas! Yeah! Christmas Day? It's... Christmas. It's Christmas. Yeah. Christmas Day. It's the 23rd during this livestream. Oh, I'm Gus, I'm Gavin. I'm Chris, this. Dog. Thank you.

Thank you. It's Christmas. So I guess it's when we're live, this is the 23rd and this comes out on YouTube on Christmas Day. We're pre-taped, by the way. This is pre-taped. Did I mention this dog is here? That dog is awesome. It's E-E-E. It's E-taped, by the way. This is pre-taped. Did I mention this dog is here? That dog is awesome.

It's itchy. It's itchy. It's itchy loves crunchy food. I walked by earlier eating fritos and her head just like shot around to look at me instantly as I was walking by. She loves the crunch. That's the cutest, one of the cutest objects

on the planet that I've ever seen. Yeah, it's gonna give scrappy dog a run for its money. But just look at it. Yeah, look at it. Look at his, look at his head. Her. What would you do? Watch it.

No, it, see. Now you don't pay attention to me, of course. No, that's over. Get some fritos and then we'll talk. How many sweaters do you have for your dogs? I don't know off the top of my head, probably four or five. Okay, each. No, no, total. Off-hate sweaters. You look like, don't you have like top of my head, probably four or five. Okay. Each. No, no, total.

Off-hull hate sweater. You look like, don't you have like a little bed for your dog? Yes, I do. They have like a little bed. They can lounge on him in the living room. I'm not that's not uncommon, though. Yeah. But like it looks like a bed bed.

Kinda. Do you make it? Do you make it? No, no, no, I bought it. I bought it on Etsy. Oh, and this is, this is Etsy the dog. Yeah, that's not to be confused. They're kind of, they're cousins. Anna does the hair and make it on Etsy. Oh, and this is Etsy the dog. Yeah, that's not to be confused. They're cousins.

Anna does the hair and make it for this podcast. Yeah, and today she blessed us with Etsy. Do you have views on YouTube? Do you think people want to get away from their families and watch a bit of podcasts? I could see it going either way. I'm going to bet lower. I would say lower.

I always find it... I don't know, I just feel a bit guilty if I use my phone too much on Christmas. Yeah. And actually if I was like sneaking off to watch stuff, sometimes you need to get away though. That's true. We have so many options for thumbnails with that dog. There she is. Eric got a mouthful in there. What are you waiting Eric? We got breakfast. Oh yeah. We got breakfast. We got some egg nog. There's no vegan egg nog. We got a what was for bread vegan Mexican hot breakfast. Oh yeah, we got breakfast. We got some egg nog.

There's no vegan egg nog. We got a... What was the bread? Vegan Mexican hot chocolate. Oh wow. But it's cold. They got some pancakes. They got some breakfast tacos.

Eggs. I think you guys got some am or sausage. Pancake day? Well, it's a pancake day. It's just morning pancake. Yeah. Okay. It's morning. We're in morning.

We sat down here right before started, and Chris sat down. He looked at the egg dog in the bottle of rum. I didn't hear it. Do you want to say? I said we're in mourning. Very good. I could see you pausing, and I was like, I didn't acknowledge it. I always know when they catch me make a pun, because the camera will stay on me.

I'll see the red light. I didn't hear the pun, but I saw you on the screen making pun face. So I was like, okay, let's get back and see what that was. We sat down and Chris looked at the egg nog and he looked at the room. And he said, it's morning. It's a little early. And I was like, oh, do it. Go ahead.

He's like, okay, is I didn't take any convincing at all? He opened it or he's to keep pouring it. It's Christmas. Yeah. Is it okay to drink in the morning or Christmas? I think so. It's okay to drink in the morning period. Okay. I'll go. That's why mimosas and bloody Mary's Christmas. Yeah. Is it okay to drink in the morning or Christmas? I think so. It's okay to drink in the morning period. Okay, how cool is that?

That's why mimosas and bloody marries exist. But see, I feel like those are morning drinks, right? Like if you order mimosas at night, you're an asshole. Yes, I think it may be, yeah, but if you order like a screwdriver, you're not. Right. It's like, it's carbonated, so it's okay in the morning. But if you order a champagne at night, you're... That's almost in that. But if you order a champagne at night,

you're not a weirdo. A what? A champagne. Right. But if you order a mimosa, you're weird, but then if you order a screwdriver, you're fine. But like, where does bloody Mary fit into that, right? It's like, if that's only morning,

there is no nighttime equivalent. I'll have a vodka tomato juice. Get the fuck out of here. Could you order an eggnog in the summer? No. Order, Chris, where would you order an eggnog? You can just go to order an eggnog point, I guess it. You go to a bar, I think, so you're like,

I'll have an eggnog. That's a part of it. They would tell you to get the fuck out. Where do you think you are? I guess it is where it's order a bloody Mary late. Right. It's like, we don't have any celery anymore. We don't have any of that stuff.

They've run out of all the fresh produce. I love bloody Mary's though. They're pretty good. It's like one of my favorite drinks. That and Moscow Mule's probably up there. I know you like a cheeky Mule. I like a Mule, yeah. I don't know.

I just can't have too many. Like I get, I feel like if I have a lot of sugar, you get like hung over before you get drunk, if you got too many. I feel like if I have a lot of sugar, you get hung over before you get drunk if you have too many mules. I feel like you get like a sugar hangover. Yeah, it's pretty yummy. I'll have a maximum of two mules. Yeah, I think it's like a sturdermule. You know, stardomule, you have to sit down, get a bit of fence, and then you get to the super drinks. Get your copper mugs. What is in this?

Spicy? I've got a sore throat. I you want to eat sheep, a drink. You get your copper mugs. It's a little spicy. What is in this? Spicy? I've got a, I've got a sore throat. I'm like, I've got a cold. So it's got something that's irritating my throat. You know, it's good for that. Red pepper. It's got red pepper.

In the chocolate, all ingredients. Mexican hot chocolate. Ooh. Oh, I didn't see that it was Mexican hot chocolate. It's actually really good. Here at, what do we go good with Agnob? Yes. Yeah, and absolutely what pass that over to Chris.

Do you only have big gnaw in there? You also try that. That's actually really delicious. This is not brought to you by whoever made that. Almond Breeze. The Mexican hot chocolate council. Yeah, you sound like shit. You sound sick.

I feel like shit. Why'd you come in? Because we have to do this. You think I've gotten someone else to do it? Yeah, like glass of mint and I'd be like, hey, can you go in and do the most important job in the company? Nobody's ready for that.

I almost got to do it. You don't have to let them hang out there. You don't have to let them hang out there. That's the best joke you've ever made, man. I almost got sick this year. Did you? We did you think you're still out of it? Sorry.

I did, because I always do that, even though that is scientifically total nonsense. No, I bet, we did you think you're so proud of it? Sorry. I did, because I always do that, even though that is scientifically total nonsense. No, I bet there's something to that. But I actually, I was just on the couch playing a bit of Pokemon, and I was like, throat hurts, and then I sneezed like four times. So I was like, I just got sick right here. The next day I felt terrible, my throat was hurting,

had a cough the day after that I was fine. You sure it wasn't just allergies? No, I don't think so. I don't really allergic to anything. I have been here eight years, you've almost been here eight years. Yeah. I think I just started getting allergies this year. Oh, it happened.

It's really bad right now. Yeah, well, yeah, that's what, because I'd never had allergies before moving here and then I didn't for the first couple of years. And then this past year has just been, I guess they decided to all get together and build up. Get on that flow, Nase. I had developed what I think is an allergy

to fake cinnamon flavor. Go on. Don't have any of this. Oh, like how did you discover that? Why'd that fireball had real cinnamon? Does it have real cinnamon in it? Real cinnamon I think is fine. Like, fireball doesn't affect me.

If I have like one of those, I think the orange tic-tacs, the ones that are shitty fake cinnamon flavor? No, no, no, no, those are the orange ones. Real cinnamon, right? Red ones, red ones, yeah. What's the fake? It has cinnamon in it. Cinnamon in it.

Cinnamon in it. Cinnamon in it. That looks pretty good. Fireball has cinnamon flavoring. Anyway, whatever those tic tacs are, they burn through my tongue. I feel like I'm a capsule of acid. I was on a...

Like it hurts? I was on a flight with Kara one time, Kara Abelie, who voices wise, and you still work at Richchee as well. And we were sitting next to each other, and we had been upgraded on that flight. So at the end, what they do is sometimes they give you mints at the end, what they do is sometimes they give you

mints at the end of the flight when you're like landing. Only for breast fat. Right, which ours was. So we both opened it up and put it on my mouth. And it's a cinnamon mint. It's not like a mint mint. And I didn't know this, but Cara apparently hates cinnamon. Like to the point of like, she'll get sick.

And all I saw out of the corner of like she'll get sick and all I saw either corner of my was And she was like freaking out. I'm like are you choking what's going on? She's like Like yeah, maybe she has a seam yeah, maybe she's actually like it burn. Yeah, she like was having an issue with it that whole Rest of light. Yeah, it's a new thing for me. It's since I moved here issue with it that whole rest of light. Yeah, it's a new thing for me. It's since I moved here. I'll have it. If I have the whole mint or the whole thing,

my tongue will hurt for like three days. Ooh. Yeah, and I was like, that couldn't have been from the cinnamon mint. And then I did it again to see if it was like two months later. And I was like, oh, I have like a thing for that now. I think that used to happen me when I was a kid, but I liked it.

I would like each cinnamon stuff. I'd be kid, but I liked it. I would like each of them and stuff. I'd be like, out hurts. I want more. Was that word, masochism? Yeah, this is just sent to masochism. Eating cinnamon is not good. So that's why you enjoy playing Chris and Chris and Clayton so much, huh? No, that's not.

That's just yummy cinnamon. It's like, it's spicy. It's like the same way you eat it. No, I don't want to wear the shot collar today. It's yummy pain. Is that what you said? Yummy cinnamon. Like the way spicy stuff is like kind of tasty.

A little spicy. The word yummy after your past is earned age is so funny to me. People who call things yummy. This is some words like that. Another one that bothers me, I think I've said before, is tummy. I hate that. My tummy.

I hate when people say tummy. Yeah. That one seems like four-year-old. So does yummy, dude. I hate to break it to you. Wait, really? Is it really that? There's a word called delicious.

I'm not sure if we're familiar with this. I'm not tasty. How do you feel about scrummy? I don't think anyone's ever said that before. You're a liar. What's the, I saw a clip. So you guys just did an episode of Ready Set Show where you're doing British slang.

Yeah. And it was a clip of Trevor looking you straight in the face and going, was it Bosch? Dosh. Dosh. Dosh. Yeah, he tries to, like once per episode of that, he'll try and like get right up

and look for like micro Expressions when he says stuff. Yeah, but I gave him nothing. Was that a real word? Dosh. Yeah, it's money Also apparently I can't come up with any fake slang because somewhere it's real. Yeah I have to like do two English words and then just make up something so I'll just Make up something and then I'll realize that that's real somewhere. I was like, god damn it. It's like, it's something to invent a word.

Someone in the comments will be like, no, that's real. Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy. Happened with, I think, shut. What does that mean? I'm just trying to come up with a fake money. So I was like, I think coming off chutney, I was like, I'll be a shut.

But that means chewing gum in some places. Oh. Shit. I've heard chuddy for chewing gum in some places. Oh, shit. I've heard Chuddy for chewing gum. That makes more sense. That makes more sense. Chud, like a cow. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Come up with a word now. Come up with a word for money. Bluff. Bluff. You can't get it. That sounds like a Star Wars thing.

I feel like you just need to take a syllable, mix in a vowel, and then another letter. Just bookend it with a ghost voice. Speaking of which, speaking of Star Wars, the new episode of Baby Yoda came out today. What would you do if you had the freedom to be anyone or to go anywhere without limitations?

Next-gen gaming is built with Intel Core i9 processors. Oh, in preparation for the premiere, right? Or not the premiere, the movie. Oh, is that why? I heard something that they were gonna release like the last two episodes during Star Wars Week. Oh, okay, yeah, one came out today and I think the next one's next week.

So not Friday? I don't know. I think it might be Friday. So I was really throwing off because I was like reading new sites this morning trying to find stuff to talk about in the podcast. I saw like our review of Mandalorian episode seven is like, it takes a Wednesday. Yeah. What does it usually come up Friday?

Friday's. Everyone knows it's maybe out of day. Okay. It's officially changed. So cute. It's kind of right to your baby Yoda. Yeah. I think all dogs like that. It's funny how they're now putting out merchandise for pre-sale, like official merchandise, and it's like available May 2020. Geez. You're like, I'm like, even gonna want it then. Which sounds very like consumerist with the word. Like, like in the moment, like if you want it now, but you won't want it later, like why are you

then bothering, ordering it. Right. To say like, oh, I'll be over that show by then or like, I won't care about that. And plus you don't know, like there's still two more episodes left. Maybe Yoda might turn out to be evil. It's still one of them.

Might be another Harvey Weinstein. Oh my goodness. Yeah, that comes to you. We don't know. I was thinking about him the other day. I saw a fucking, I guess he went to court. Yeah, settled his shit. He was trying to brag about like all the goodies done for women.

Oh, I saw that. Yeah, yeah. It was like you are in your own like world. Yeah. Like not aware. Go for it. Even if you could quantify that. Who cares?

Yeah. It doesn't outdo the awful that you've done. Right. And yeah, just like get it over with, be done with it. Don't try to backpedal in any direction. Just get the fuck through it, man. Mm-hmm. And Eric's just stumbling around back there.

Everything okay, man? Yeah, I said, you put out fires? No, medicine. Medicine, all right. You just drank some rum. Yeah, and I had to take medicine for the rum. Right. All right.

Rum medicine. You ever taken medicine with liquor? No. I'm not feeling very well. What takes some Tylenol would chase it with a shot of vodka? It's probably bad for your liver. It's probably really bad for you. Yeah, but I can't have more until the show's over

because I'm not gonna come on set. So, so I have to wait and no. You can't have more alcohol. You can't have alcohol for an hour so you're taking medicine now? No, I have a toothache. No, I have a toothache. I didn't, I have a toothache. No, I have a toothache. I have a toothache.

That's why I took medicine. Are we talking to the soundboard? I think so. It's so much better. Yeah, baby. Yeah, baby. There we go. It was more interesting.

So what are you doing on today? Christmas day if you're watching on YouTube. Are you watching this on YouTube on Christmas day? No, I'm not. Okay. I might be reading the comments though. We ask people at the end of the show on YouTube to leave us a comment and I'd like to go through

and see if people actually did. And sometimes I'll chat with them there. I'll also chat with them at rstheeth.com. And normally for live I would do that with our chat with first members, but we're not like we're not. I know, and I want to talk to you about each other. Yeah, and it's just us. We're staring into nothing.

No, I'll be looking through the comments and I know. You're going to watch the Queen's speech. Is the Queen giving a speech on Christmas day? She does it every Christmas day. Does she? Yeah. It'll be weird if an American watched it, but you could try it. See what she's chatting about this year?

What kind of things does she talk about? Hey, just, you know, state of the country and all that. Does she know? Good things. Yeah. She's the leader. Is she? She's doing a pretty shit job, isn't she?

Yeah. So. Oh. Yeah. Yeah, well, no, I had no idea. I think she's like a, like a, like a radio address or does she get out in a balcony and just yell? I think it used to be radio.

Oh, there's video. She just on TV. See what it's on this year, what time? I was going to, maybe. Maybe. Oh, my internet's not working, that's cool. Nice. Oh, the Queen Christmas Day speech.

When is the Queen's Christmas? There we go. Does she say happy Christmas? Yeah. Just because that's I've only ever heard British people say happy Christmas instead of Merry Christmas. It's been a tradition. You know one of 1932. Happy Christmas, Ron. Happy Christmas, Harry. I don't see why that's weird there. So happy birthday. It's not, I don't think it's weird. I think it's just... You say happy birthday. It's just unique to... British. ...set 3 p.m. on BBC One. ITV Sky One.

She's been doing it since the 30s. 32. It'll run for about 10 minutes. Oh, I found her speech from 19... From 2018. Oh, look at this production value. Yeah, go out. It's like a big event. People gather around the telly. I've actually... My family just was never interested. Oh, it's like a production value. Yeah, go out. It's like a big event.

People gather around the telly. I never, I've actually, my family just was never interested. So we didn't watch it. But it's the thing every year. We go to the whole day. We go to the whole day. It's really old. Yeah, she old.

She's like, look at her tree. That is sizable. I think she's got a little bit of money. No. I could be wrong. Got the old crown estate. Jet Basil says could be wrong. Got the, the old crown of state. Jet Bay's also the richest person in the world, right? Yeah, I believe so.

How rich is the royal family? I don't think you can quantify that. Can you not? I feel like there are rich of people than him, but like they're like rich families and people who hide their money. Yeah, like Putin has to be rich and then I would imagine. Jeffrey must be.

Who's the last thing you think someone looked at him in the face and called him Jeffrey? Oh. Probably when he was a child and his mother called him that. Yeah, we like walk up to Bill Gates and calling him Billy. Or William or William. I see that's his first name, right?

Yeah, I think I think it's actually Billium. Bill. I assume that's his first name, right? Yeah, I think it's actually William. Bill. I'm a billionaire. Billium gates. I was thinking last time. What I made my first billion. I was so just mom could say. I was watching something and there was a character named Hal.

And I started thinking, what is Hal short for? I had to look it up. How should we guess? You can guess if you want. Halba. Halba. Halibus. Halibut.

No, that's fish. Halibut. It's probably something that doesn't start with H. Like maybe Hal's the middle. Harold. That's a good guess. That would be my guess, yeah. Yeah, I don't know.

Are you going with halibut, Chris? Yeah, we'll go with halibut. Why the hell not, halibut. I had also guessed Harold. It can be Harold, Henry or Harry. Okay, but isn't Harry short for Harold? I guess so. But Henry, how can be short for Henry?

Yeah. Well, Hank can be short for Henry. I guess that's true. Henry is just the name where it's just like, name your kid Henry if you want it to be anything. It's like a asterisk name. It's a wild card. I guess it's not that weird, but my dad's name is Lawrence

and everyone calls him Larry. I guess that's typical, right? Yeah, I think so. Even though, yeah. I was fighting with your dad on Twitter the other night. Were you? Did you see that? No, what were you guys fighting about? The Bickering. What were you guys fighting about? I was complaining about it dad on Twitter the other night. Were you? Did you see that? No, what were you guys fighting about?

The bickering. What were you guys fighting about? I was complaining about... You lost me more? I was complaining that Kettle's take so long to boil here. That would be an argument. That would be an argument. That would be an argument.

That would be an argument. That would be an argument. That would be an argument. That would be an argument. That would be an argument. That would be an argument. That would be an argument. That would be an argument.

That would be an argument. That would be an argument. That would be an argument. That would be an hell. Why would it take away the gas? Why would it take away the gas? Do you think American gas is slower than English gas? Talk about. It's because it's imperialist-edometric. Maybe if there were vastly different altitudes that would be accurate. But yeah, like the voltage is low here. So it takes like three times as long to boil the kettle.

Uninduction kettle. Do you have an induction cooktop? I bet that would be- But that's still electricity though. I have an induction cooktop, and if I try to boil water, there's a boil water button on it. And it just goes like-

And it goes like instant. Like you hear it, it makes it noise, it goes like, mm. It's cool. And then it's just like your water's boiling. So yeah. You should come record it. It never had actually been good. You're good, you slow-mo sound.

Let's do it. So what was the argument about? So I was going to go back to both and he was like, why'd you need water to boil so fast? What's the hurry? Why not just get the cups and stuff out? Like at the end, that was like. Well, you're doing wrong it.

Why do you need water to boil so fast? You just get the cup. You take your time. That's how my family talked. To be honest, that wasn't coming through on Twitter very well. And then I was like, well Larry, I don't need it to go that far. Well, Larry, parallel, but then I was like,

imagine if your TV just suddenly took four times as long to turn on. It's not a big deal. Go get some cups. Do some stuff. But when you were used to the TV turning on almost immediately, you'd be like, man, I remember when the TV used to turn on. Mm-hmm. I remember...

Is that how it ended? Pratt pretty much. And maybe I'll show my age a little bit here, as if I don't do that all the time. But I remember being a kid and like, TV's taking a little while to warm up. Yeah, that feels like the QBRT's. Yeah, it's like you turn it on and be like, okay, in about 30 seconds, it's gonna be a full power. Yeah, it'll come on old dim.

Yeah, like the wrong shape as well. I'd be like, I'd be like, Yeah, we were still part of that. Okay, good. Yeah, I remember. Yeah, don't worry. But,

but I feel like changing the channel was instant. Right, yeah. It didn't have to like go black and then come on. It would just be like, oh, I was having, I was having like the dumbest problem the other day was, I think it was my PS4. No, no, it was my Apple TV. It was some stupid device where if I like,

let's say on my Apple TV, I selected a piece of content I wanted to watch. So I was in the menu system of the Apple TV. Let's say I was in Disney Plus, I was gonna watch the Mandalorian. And it wasn't just this, it was any piece of content. I would go and I would hit, okay, on that content, the screen would go black, and then it would come back up with the content.

And then be like, well, I don't wanna watch this anymore. So I'd like escape out, and the screen would go black, and then come back up with the menu. It's like, why is that not instant? Because it's switching to HDR. Right, I know that it's like, it's like changing the format. It's going from like signal through the cables.

Right, it's like, why? Stop it, stop doing that. Just, why isn't the menu system by default in HDR already? I think you can set it to be. Can I? Because I went through the settings looking for this. And I couldn't figure it out. And it was like, it was only taking like two seconds.

But I was getting so fucking mad. Because I think I was looking for something. So I was going through a bunch of content. I was like, every time I had to look for something, it's costing me three seconds of my life. And I'm fucking furious. I had to look at 10 things. Like, there's 30 seconds.

The technology makes people the worst. You end up actually getting annoyed about such nothing issues. Like before this, I would have had to go get discs and find them and inject them and put them in. Like, I'm sorry to do on-demand entertainment. There's like 4K HDR and I'm getting mad that it's taking a second.

I don't know what happened. There's a shift that happened in my mindset where I just like stopped caring. Like things take longer now, every now and then or like if something's broken, I'm just like, uh, whatever. I'll get in that way. It's because, is it?

You're young, you think you have a lot of time. Let me tell you, you don't, every second matters. Live life to a fullest. How long have you been trying to fix it combine your egg nog in your your almond breeze Uh, I think I spent like 10 minutes looking at it It's like way longer than the fucking issue would have caused Do you ever turn on Netflix with the intention of finding something to watch and you just get like selection fatigue? It's every time I just like don't watch something. I've never

Turned on Netflix without like the intent of knowing what I'm gonna watch. Really? You never just like, let's find something to watch. I just feel like I don't have enough time to watch the shows that I really wanna see. So I'm like, I have time to, I'm gonna go and find it. I'm never just like, but there's, I feel like there's some time.

Where it's like, there's an obligation where I need to finish this, but I don't really have the energy to think about it, so I just want something on in the background. Like, lazy content. You know? I just feel like that's YouTube for me. I just find something on...

It's not just shorter on YouTube. I found living alone, like, I lived alone for 10 years. And I would just like to have the TV on with something. It wasn't even like having music or a podcast on. It's something about like, there being something visual and also audible in the room that made you feel like less lonely. Yeah, I don't know, I guess it's just like a comedy.

I can see that. I just do like podcasts a lot for that. Yeah. It's like turn around and walk around the house. I was listening to your podcast this morning. Oh yeah. And so I was getting ready. Yeah, it's a good like morning podcast

because it's like the perfect amount of time for when you're actually Getting yourself ready to go. It's not good evening. Yeah, it's good morning for me. Yeah, you can have a memo or a party You can I've been watching all the Star Wars is to get ready for new Star Wars, which I've already seen now at this point Those original trilogy movies, no one was on set telling anyone how to pronounce anything. Oh, I think about that all the time and Con or Han,

Han, Princess Lea, everyone British says Lea, Tatooine, Tatooine. It's all like there was no one. I feel like every time Obi-Wan says anyone's name, he says it and no one corrected him. Who because he's like, well was no one. I feel like every time Obi-Wan says anyone's name, he says it, and no one corrected him. Who, because he's like, well, it's Guinness. Good, also be like, it's all different dialects in space.

Sure. I feel like it's though, it changes sometimes even between characters. Yeah. Like, Leia will sometimes say Han and sometimes a Han. Yeah. And then what is it that Han, the Obi-Wan says to Luke, he says something. You're the force. He says that too. Yeah, and what is it that hand that

Obi-Wan says to Luke he says something force. He says that too, but he says something The wrong way and because Luke's in the scene with him He repeats it back to him the wrong way, but then in the rest of the movie says it the other way I just can't remember what it was it was when he's like doing the spar and I was like lightsaber Nope, wasn't that light Light saber. It'll come to me. Jedi. Oh, he says, everyone says Yada at one point. Yada. He's saying Yada.

Yeah, I've been rewatching him too. I don't really. Yada. The first time he mentioned, he's like, go to Dagobah, find Yada. Yada. Maybe Yada. He doesn't roll off the tongue as easily. Yeah.

And now it's all like, I assume they've got people in control of that. It's like you have to pronounce it this way. But on the set, the original, especially the original too, no one was there doing that. I've been, when I get ready in the morning, I'll have the TV on here talking about, and I've been rewatching solo that way. And just this morning I saw the explosion that they said was inspired or that they use like a slow-mo guys for reference. There's so much about that movie I'd forgotten. Like what? Like the robot that flies the ship that is into land and wants equal rights.

Yeah, the Fleabag. Right. I was like, oh, I totally forgot that this robot existed. And that robot becomes like the Millennium Falcon. Spoiler, right? Yeah. It kind of like becomes the system computer, the ship computer. I feel like when you watch the original trilogy, you can see where the pre-calls and like the other size stories try and cram in bits to make the original trilogy make more sense,

but I feel like Solo does it the best, like the fact that it used to be land-o-ship, all that stuff. I feel like when you watch episode five, they talk about stuff and Solo makes so much sense, but other movies kind of, they like shoehorn crap in. So it's pretty good. Solo is good.

I honestly, Solo and Rogue One, I enjoyed so much better the second time watching it. Yeah, and I think they really got kind of shit on them. I think I liked Rogue One more than Solo. Maybe it's because I had higher expectations for the Han Solo movie, just because it's like a more fun character versus Rogue One. It's like I didn't have any like character preconceptions. Yeah.

I think the main characters in Rogue One were a little flat. They were they were they were I think, but I think the like, I don't know, maybe it's just because I didn't care as much about the story. So I was like, oh yeah, this is just more a fun romp and then with solo. A fun romp work. Everyone gets killed. Yeah. I mean, Rogue One is a really good action movie. It's like, it's like saving private Ryan, but in space. It's like a Star Wars video game Yeah, like if you were playing a video you're like that's what that's the movie. I would want to play as a video What is your all-time number one favorite Star Wars movie Empire Strikes back? I think yeah Empire probably yeah Empire because I've just go and I've just finished the original trilogy Empire stands out

For some reason just like that's a really good standalone movie. It's like perfect. And it's the middle story. Yeah. I don't know if you really like stand alone, it kind of just ends. It does. Like, it's not like a complete set. It's on its own.

It's like, it's an amazing piece of cinema. Technically, it's amazing. And I think the first one is like, they had no intention of making more of them. Right. They like, they, they, the first one was almost like, so much stuff. It's almost like a prototype or like an alpha version.

Yeah. We're like, oh, we're gonna make this as see if it works and it works like, oh shit. Like, you can tell they clearly didn't ever plan for Veda to be Luke's dad in the first one. Hmm. Well, you did episode one come out, two thousand, seven, oh episode one,

uh, ninety nine. Okay, ninety nine. Interesting. It's so funny because I watched the original three star wars movies when I was very young. And out of every single movie, I remember episode one the most because I think it was like I was at an age where I could actually better process movies and story. And so episode one just like I remember that one more than any other. I was 10. Do you think maybe it was also like you were kind of close in age to Anakin? It's like you can identify with a character on screen. I'm not also I'm not saying

that I liked it the most. It's just the one I like remember the most vividly in terms of like what happened in it versus the other ones That I saw when I was which is bizarre because that's the storyline of episode one makes no sense Honestly episode one stands out the most for me to like if you were to ask me If you were to like give me scenes for episodes two and three and be like which which one did it happen? I don't yeah People shit on the prequels a lot for, like because they're just not very good, but they shit on them for just being all CG and stuff.

There are so many practical effects in the original in the prequels. Like they build so many models. The thing is they just kind of like scan them in. They made a lot of miniatures and then just put it behind actors on green screen. So it doesn't feel real, but a lot of the environments

are totally real all through the prequels. And I feel like most people don't see that. I don't realize that. It's the Kent Street looking past Jar Jar. Yeah, there is a lot of CG filth in there too. Yeah. But I mean, we probably wouldn't have, I-L-M probably wouldn't have developed all the stuff they use now

if it weren't for the prequels. Yeah, true. And I mean, I think a lot other, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, Yeah. Which, I mean, is better because it doesn't look like shit over time. Like, that's the thing, like, you would, if you used to go to the theater and watch traditional film, like, every time it got ran through the projector, it degraded a little bit. So it's like, if you watch, like, an old movie, be like, this looks terrible. It's just like, I'll scratched up and grainy with the fucking cigarette burns in the corner. So would they not order, order new print? They would, eventually.

But sometimes you'd get an old print It was just like so shitty and fucked up Heated that Nowadays you kids in your fancy Digital projection and your ones in your zeros. Well, we still have to wait two seconds. Yeah What why didn't Obi-Wan Kenobi remember rtd That's to see that's one of those things that's like, come on.

And also, I feel like George Lucas knew what he'd done in the original series. So it's like, why write himself into this weird corner where he's trying to shoehorn in all the classic actors? Like, what if Anakin built C3PO? And it's like, we don't need to. We don't make any damn sense. Like, what if they just come across him later?

That doesn't make any sense. And then they're like hiding Luke, where Anakin was. Like the whole point is split up the twins, right? And hide him. Like they just hit him at home. And they can eat damn sense. And Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan, he kept sitting. Obi-Wan, see, I put it up, it's definitely too.

He goes and hides on the same planet, Relukus, but keeps the same last name. Yeah, so it's like a bed. It's not really, it has just changed my fucking name. No one will know. Kenobi's just like Smith. Yeah. But they keep going back to Tatooine.

They're always like, oh, that nothing planet out in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, almost everything, like even the Mandalorian went back right to Tatooine. They should open a tattoo parlor on Tatooine. Oh, and cut. Tatooine.

Yeah. Are you drunk Chris? No. I really like that. Thanks Chris. And when Han Solo gets frozen in carbonite, it just ends up back on Tatooine. Right, it's like, of all the places,

the whole galaxy, everyone keeps going there. And you're withing. Yeah, it's like of all the places, the whole galaxy, everyone keeps going there. Yeah, it's like Los Angeles. Or you when they make a new planet, like in the four-so-weekens, whatever it was, the planet ray comes from, it's like, is that tattooing? No, no, no, that's a different desert planet. Totally different. With scrapers and...

It's hard to see. People have already seen the new movie. I guess there's like early screenings for some people. Well, as when this comes out, I mean, it'll be out when, yeah, when this comes out. And I'm sure some of the, avoid the comments of this podcast, I'm sure people are gonna be spoiling stuff. The people get into those early screenings.

Some people here got into early screenings. Yeah, I think, and I'm a little pissed off. Ask them how? I think they might have like some relationship with some press company that has access to these. I'm more important to those people. I do the most important job at this company.

I do this podcast. So, it came in on fake Christmas day and he was sick. Yeah, got a hotty looks. Where's the tree? Where's our like... We didn't do anything this year. We got eggnog. You showed up five minutes late.

What? So, I don't know what's we. Oh, you. Yeah, but he's not. You were very early. Thank you. He's not the producer though. That's true.

Do you think if I got hit five minutes early, I would have been hanging decorations there. Yeah. Yeah. I said, no, you were going to come and do. We were like, I think there was a lot of gavagin to do this. He's drunk and he's on the medicine. He doesn't know what he's saying.

Papa's on cough syrup. Yeah. We really gotta talk to HR about him. He's looking. Yeah, it's weird not being like, I don't want to drink booze now, but I don't, I have nothing to drink. I have nothing to do in my hands.

You drink my options. Some eggnog. I don't want the nog. Do you want my coffee? Do you want my half drinking coffee? Make it a hot chocolate. It's actually really good. It's really good. It goes into the nog. It's want my coffee? Do you want my half-drinking coffee? Making it into hot chocolate. It's actually really good. It's really good.

I had it all over the cinnamon. It's real cinnamon though. But it's cold. It's good. But it's chocolate milk. I didn't take my one that. Put it in the cup now and then in five minutes it'll be warmer.

Do you want me like breathe on it for a little bit to heat up? Let's have it. Let's have it. Why don't we put it on a kettle and wait 20 minutes for it to heat up? So we were talking about a digital video for like, on demand, you okay? It was just so viscous that I started pouring it

and I decided to check the cup and the bit that I poured out went back in. All the studio Ghibli movies are now finally available to buy digitally for the first time ever. Oh shit. It's a weird, like, you know how people used to give DVDs and blue race and stuff as presents They don't it does you can't really do that with like digital things, right? Like if you got a a thing for a digital movie, does it feel the same as a Christmas gift?

Well, it looks the same when I watch it. I know, but does it feel as like you're not like what are you unwrapping? You know, it's like I don't know. It just doesn't feel as much like a present. I agree. Right? It's where you're collodically friendly. You don't have to wrap us up. No, I think it's good. I think it's a good improvement,

but like as far as a present. Well, you're here bitching about it, Chris. Well, I don't know. I'm all, you were bitching about the two-second delay. So, I'm like, what? I'm not so much bitching just like conjecturing as like weird presence. Yeah, I was getting annoyed on using Disney Plus

because if you use the dog shit little Apple TV remote, yeah, it has like the back 10 seconds thing. Yeah. Every time I use that, it just puts like a small buffer in thing that doesn't ever go away. Really will keep playing. And it's like, why does that do that?

Oh, I don't, I have not experienced that. That sucks. Are you just watching any? Yeah, no, I, series that are like Apple TV series. Yes. Which ones? I've been watching the morning show. Morning show, okay.

Yeah, I'm caught up on that one. How is it? I think it started really strong. It started meandering for a bit, but now it's really strong again. I didn't even know Apple TV had series. You might not have been on that podcast. We talked about it. I guess before that one, I didn't know. I mean, Apple did. I feel like they don't spend a ton of advertising.

Well, I think not a phone. They soft-launched it, too. It doesn't have a ton of content. Plus, also, they offered to give a free year to everyone who got a new iPhone. So it's like, keep it on the hush. Yeah. I think it's good. I also I started watching for all mankind. I watched several episodes of that and I just kind of stopped. I just kind of fell off from that one. Boy. Yeah. I don't know. It's fine. Just like I, other stuff came up that I'd rather be watching. But yeah, the more shows really good, have you not seen it yet?

You should watch it. They released the, I would say when Apple TV launched, they had the first three episodes available at once and I think it's a really strong start to that. And you get access to it just by having an Apple subscription? Yeah, if you have like, if you bought an iPhone this year, you have a year free of Apple TV.

Plus. Thank you. Appreciate it. It's good. Another streaming service. Yeah, but wait till HBO Max. Plus. Cool. Shit. It's good. Another streaming service. Yeah, yay. But wait till HBO Max comes out and destroys them all.

Thank you. Oh. I gave a weird gift on accident. Well, so this is an Christmas gift. This is not Christmas. It was a birthday gift. But Zach Anner was staying at my place for a Christmas gift. This is not Christmas, it was a birthday gift, but Zach and I were staying at my place for a few weeks. Well, you guys ate it all of Garden of Dix?

Yes, and he'd never slept with a weighted blanket. And so I was like, hey, do you wanna use this? It's okay. And so you wanna use my weighted blanket. And I let him use it while I was staying. And he loved it. He's like, oh man, it's blanket and I you know, I let him use it while I was staying and he like loved it He's like, oh man, it's great feeling. I don't feel as alone and I But like jokingly it's like it's like a girlfriend. Yeah, I was like, yeah sleeping on top of me

And so then his birthday was in November or something. So I was like, oh, hey, what's your address? You know, I'm gonna I'll send you something and then I sent him a weighted blanket And I was like I was like hey, did you get your package? And he's like, no, no, go check. I'll check him out. Go check the next day. Like, hey, did you get your packet? And I was talking to him on the phone.

He's like, yeah, yeah, thanks so much for the present. I might need your help using it. I don't. And like you might have to like, whenever if you're, because I'm gonna be coming to LA, maybe you could help help using it. I don't, and like, you might have to like, whenever, if you, because I know you're coming to LA maybe you could help me use it because I know it will definitely, we should film it because I don't know,

it might make a mess in the bathtub. What? And I don't know if it's gonna like, stain or what happened? What do you think I brought? What are the wrong thing? And I was like, that's not, I was like, what are you talking about? And he was like, what are you talking about?

He's like, well, you got me the sticky bathtub goo, the glitter kid goo, and I was like, what are you talking about? I even know what that is. I checked my Amazon order, and I think it was in my mailbox. I think it was a conversation. Yeah, yeah, and then I think it was from during extra. I think it was a conversation. You're talking about your heart?

Yeah, yeah. And then I think it was from during extra life or something. We had talked about one bit being like this. There's just like bathroom slime goo for kids. It's called slime bath and it's like, it makes your bathtub goo and it's purple. And I put it in my cart and forgot about it and I accidentally sent him that. But like just that, not even that.

No, the way to blanket just didn't come for another couple of days. He opened it up and he's like bathroom slime. And it's funny because you're so, you're like, did you get your present? I say something really nice. And it's like four kids. It's got like kids on it. The most confusing like five minutes. But he's gonna use it, right? Sine, bath, bath.

Yeah, oh yeah, that's, except for it's the glitter one. So it was like a purple type. How do you get rid of that? Is it just like, I don't know if he has a drink. I don't know if he has a drink. Wouldn't that cloggle you shit? Yeah. I don't know.

Maybe like dissolves after a certain amount of time or I don't even know how that would work. That is so funny. Yeah, did you guys try it when you were there? No, we were going to, but it was like, and then we're like, oh, we should put it in the hot tub. That sounds like a terrible idea. Would that be like in a pool of jello?

Like if people want to take a bath in jello? I don't know, I sent something to Blaine too. Because he helped me out with like doing that UT class kids thing. Yeah. So you sent him a gift. So you sent him a gift. I was like, hey, I sent you something as thanks and it was the glitter bath. Did he use it?

I don't know. He never said anything. He probably did. I didn't want to tell you. I don't know. Maybe he didn't get it yet. Maybe not. He gets the weighted blanket instead.

Yeah. He got the weighted blanket instead. Yeah. He got the weighted blanket too. Amazon is such a lifesaver in terms of like coming up with gifts for people because I just get people with Amazon gift cards now. I feel like that's a cop out though because I'm going. It's like what you talked about earlier. Yeah, exactly. Like I'm going up to Trevor's family for Christmas and like I know them somewhat because I met them a couple of times,

but it's like, I'm so bad at giving people gifts that people I don't know that well, it's even harder to come up with like anything for them. And I feel like it's kind of just like a cop out getting people gift cards, but I feel like that's what I would prefer. Yeah, rather than buy whatever I want. It's the inside of waste of money. Right. Yeah. No, I totally get it. Something that someone's like, oh, saying, so I guess I like prefer. Yeah, rather than buy whatever I want. Yeah, it's the thing that's not a waste of money. Right. Yeah, you're not buying something.

No, I totally get it. Something that someone's like, oh, saying, so I guess I like this. And they were gonna use this. Yeah. Yeah, because in that scenario, it's like, the person wasted their time and money, and you get something they're not really gonna use.

I guess it just doesn't feel thoughtful, which is, how is it a bit of gift than just money, though? Because that feels weird, especially if you're like going over to your significant other, it's very much. I agree. Like it's just being on someone.

It's a money, don't spend it all in one place. It is weird that cash is weird, but a gift card is slightly more thoughtful. I don't know why though, it's the same thing. I think it's because you're still buying something for them. Yeah, but still, especially on Amazon, you can buy anything. I need to know. It's the exact same as money.

Yeah. Sure. But it still feels less like, I don't know. You went out of your way to do it versus like, oh, shit. Here, I got you this. I guess no one had that one driving on the way here. I stuck in an ATM. Let me uncrumple this 50 from my pocket.

Yeah, I don't know. And it's funny because I was thinking about this the other day, but if and when I do get married, I'm trying to figure out a way to tell everyone I invite like, just give me money. You can do that. You can very blatantly just say that. Because you can also say, hey, we're doing a honeymoon

donate towards that. Yeah. And then it's like, oh, we're doing a honeymoon, donate towards that. Yeah. And then it's like, oh, they're not giving you money, they're helping you do your honeymoon. I mean, we wouldn't have like a registry of, there might be a couple of things that,

I mean, it also depends on like when and where in my life, I am at that point in time, but like, just, could maybe use some new pots and pans. Just ask for money. I don't think there's, I don't think there's any problem in setting that up.

I think I've been to weddings like that before where it's like, it makes it easier to. Yeah, just do that. Or just like, here's my Venmo account. Right. I want to somehow put the bride emoji that way I know. That way. Would you be annoyed if I talked to everyone who was going

to your wedding and I convinced everyone to get you a Blender? But everyone. Yes, I would be mad Gavin. You never, you never have a tennis store credit at bed after the hour. Remind me, never do it like Gavin to any function that I'm hosting. Totally do. It's so fun to get in the same model. If you do that, I'm gonna make you walk me down the fucking aisle. Give you a step aside Larry. That's where you and Larry I love her way more Just I know you almost as long as he's

No, that's true It's a significant percentage of your life. I'm over 50% Yeah, you're I've known you more than half my life at this point, but he's known me my entire percent. Yeah, you're I've known you more than half my life at this point, but he's known me my entire life. Look, as you look at all that we all get closer. Here's the thing, I bet you he's known you a greater percentage of his life than Larry has known you for his. Yeah, Larry was blowing time before you were born. Yeah, well, he didn't even know about you. He didn't appreciate you for the entire like first half of your life. Plus, also, if you think about the years in which barber could talk your way or 50% like there's some shit years in which Barbara could talk, you're way over 50%.

Like there's some shit years at the beginning. It's like, she doesn't even know what she is. Yeah, that, that, that, yeah. With that just ended like two years ago. Yeah. So still going on a little bit. I have my days. It was funny when he would come in and ball at you

for being up one night. Yeah. To be on Skype. Yeah, because me and Gavin used to talk. And I don't know why, I guess it was like morning for you when we would talk, because it was like two or three in the morning when I would be Skyping with Gavin. Yeah, and I would just be like, go to my day

and then I would like watch the sun come up behind you and he would come and be like, you went up all night again, what? Or you'd like hear knock about a Barbara. Go to bed. It's like, it's fixed. I'm working on my future career. I'm networking. It worked out.

It was important. It was important. What? Yeah. You having you give me words to read the definitions of. That's like all we did on Skype. Yeah, I'm going to be like, all right, here's this one. What was it?

Feltch was one. Hi, I just look up shit. I'd be like read the all we did on Skype. Yeah, I'm gonna be like, all right, here's this one. What was it? Feltch was one. Hi, I just look up shit. I'd be like, read the definition of this on a picture. Good. God. It's a weird. It was a very typical childhood friendship. Mm-hmm. Yep.

As per you. Embarrassing myself for someone else's entertainment. No, you wish you had those videos. You can watch yourself. There are some videos that I have like me and my friends used to make really dumb goofy videos that some of which I put on the Rooster Cheese website at the time, on the community site. I remember seeing some of them. Yeah, with my friend Brittany, we did a lot of stuff.

You should do that panel that we do with embarrassing films at RTX. Yeah, the problem is I can't find them. Like I know they exist somewhere. My house has like a lot of like old stuff that we've accumulated over the course of our lifetime. That's like in storage or in this, my room's still full of stuff that I had growing up. So it's like, I don't even know where to look for this. And a lot of it was on my computer, which I don't have anymore.

So I don't know if it's like lost forever. Can I put on a drive-out? When I was in high school, I recorded a bunch of stuff on VHS cameras. Do you have it? I'm trying to find it. I've been through so many VHS tapes looking. If you find it. Yeah, because I wanted to do that.

But I've been through so many fucking VHS tapes looking for shit I made when I was in high school. You got to get that stuff off VHS soon. Yeah, I know. That stuff's going to start running. Like, I had a VHS camera and a VCR. So I would do like very basic like editing the two of them together And it was like light years beyond what anyone else in my small town was doing

So like anytime there was a project at school I'd be like can I just make a video instead? I would do the same thing. I'd be like can I do this is a big Yeah, I had a class that was called Comtech. I think it stood for communication technology and You could choose whatever project you wanted to make, and I would always choose video. Because you'd always get like perfect marks for it, because it's like more effort than a lot of things. Yeah, they didn't understand. But it's so much easier.

Yeah, they didn't understand the process behind it. Remember once I filmed a video with Frank, you know, from Heroes and Halfwits, and I made it look like he was holding something and then it disappeared and we just like paused the recording. So when we went in and removed it, we started recording again. And the teacher in the class, like,

how did you do that? And I was like, I mean, I can't even begin to tell you. I like it. I did a movie where I was a hit man or something. And then I get thrown off of a bridge. But I just like, I did a wide shot where we were in the center of the bridge. And then I went and did the and then I get thrown off of a bridge, but I just like, I did a wide shot where we were in the center of the bridge and then I went and did the thing where I got thrown over

over at the very end of the bridge and just like where's like a five foot drop. And the entire class gassed like, how'd you do that? They're like, what did you actually jump? And I'm like, yeah. You're just roll. Yeah.

Jump and roll. I got so much old footage, because I had that little hi-8 camcorder. I filmed so much stuff on that. I have a box of tapes of hi-8. I'm running, I've been meaning to get it digitized. Yeah. I might do a video on my second channel

of just like all the old stuff I did when I was a teenager. It's just that myself and fire a lot. Oh god. I did that too. Look, look you're back at it. I'm just like all the old stuff I did when I was a teenager. This has set myself on fire a lot. Oh God. Oh God. Look at that too. Look at that too. Look at that.

I'm just like, how did I not get hurt? What absolute idiot? There are so many bad videos on the internet of people doing things with gasoline and fire. It's like, what are you doing? Yeah. I think like so many people don't realize that gasoline is explosive and the fumes are flammable.

Yep. Yep. That leads to disaster so many times. I see videos all the time. I'm like, this person is an idiot and I did that when I was a kid. Yeah. I'm just like, it's amazing how you just take stuff agronid when you're younger. It's just like even when you're fucking older,

I see people just being idiots. Like obviously you're seeing it on like Reddit or wherever the worst of the worst things get posted. But like even just driving around in Austin, someone will just like be like driving straight up behind me and like scoot around me really fast going like a hundred miles an hour and I'm like you're fucking idiot.

Someone changes lanes not seeing you coming. You're fucking dead. Yeah. And it's just like reckless shit like that. I don't understand it. I was driving by the roundabout over here the other day approaching the roundabout I was in the left lane and someone was in the right lane then they like I guess they realized they needed to be in the other lane so they tried to change lanes. They didn't see me I'm then at the last second they like swore the way they saw that I was there and then they honked at me Yeah, I was just driving straight.

Why am I getting honked at? You didn't see me. You almost hit me. And then you honked at me. Didn't you make a tweet yesterday, Gavin, about something, some driving related thing in Austin? Oh, yeah, because everyone's on their phone. Yeah.

It's like, terrible. You'll see the light go from red to green. And if the even if this three lanes, no one will move. It's like, or like three people on their phone. And nobody else is honking. Like, I have to honk. Yeah, I was like, the green light should come with a honk. It really should. Yeah. Green traffic lights. And everyone's like, how about people just don't be on their phones? I was like, obviously that is the better solution, but no one's doing that.

And then everyone was like, you don't even drive. And I was like, do you think that me as the passenger can like warp through the car when the light goes green? Like I'm still in the car. Also, you still care about your own safety. I care about safety. I've got a be places on time. Right.

It doesn't matter if I'm not driving the thing. Right. That's why he was five minutes late. No, Gavin, you can't have an opinion about cars because you don't drive one. Yeah, if you don't drive it, you don't use it. Although I still think you should be helping Meg look for parking spots when that happens.

I forgot about that. Then, and then I think you might need to rethink. We was supposed to go out after that conversation and I was supposed to help you look for a parking spot. Oh yeah. We didn't. We didn't. Posture. And that was three years ago.

Oh god. Eric was quick to say yeah. Come on in my car. You guys were out the holiday party, right? No you were. I went to the LA one. Chris was out of town. I was at home.

You didn't go. Gavin was there. the LA one. Chris was at a town. Gus, I was at home. You didn't go. Gavin was there. I was there. It was a good party. There's a good venue. Lots of people dancing, which is nice to see. I didn't like that.

Was it nice to see? It was, yeah. Because it's like, I don't know, it makes it more fun. People around here dancing? Yeah. I thought that was my least favorite holiday pie. Why? The venue was weird.

It's like very like echoing. What about the compared to the one from last year that was just, isn't that? That was, Last year we didn't, it was a, It was a hotel. It was a hotel, It was a two hour mixer from five to seven

after our yearly all hands. That one was shit too. I was proud about that one though, because, Were you? Yes. I was proud of that. I remember me and James, we started the coat pile. Because it was that big empty room

and there was nowhere to put coat in. Oh yeah, I put my coat in that. Yeah, they started that. I remember I was like, I was talking to James, I was like, dude, we should just start the coat pile. Yeah, and then we put our coat, we just set them down. It's like, one night I wore a coat too. I was like, mad, it's hot.

Well Chris, guess what? The party this year had a coat rack. Well, I know night I wore a coat too. I was like, Matt, it's hot. Well Chris, guess what? The party this year had a coat rack. Well, I know what I would have done there. So I'm glad I didn't go. So what's your coat at the very bottom? You're a twig for everyone else to leave. No, no. No, because at some point the hotel people came

and they were like, they brought out a little coat racks like after the fact and then started to move in everyone's coats. And I was like, you've destroyed everything I've done. You've added organization to this shit show. Fuck you. No, I made the mistake at the holiday party of like got there, went to the bar, it was open bar, got a drink,

and two seconds later, Nadi, it's like let's go do shots. Oh god. And I was like fuck and they poured us to Kila shots and it was probably. That was your second drink, because it's a Kila shot. That was my second shot, it was a Kila shot, but it was not one shot. It was probably three shots worth of Kila.

Oh, was he just like huge and overfilled? Yeah. Oh my God. Which is like, did you get drunk? I literally took that shot and 30 seconds later, I'm like, I'm drunk. Man, I haven't seen you drunk in a while. Yeah.

I don't remember you drunk that part. I mean, it was like, I haven't been like drunk, drunk, drunk in a really long time. I was like, definitely tipsy. And then right after that, they started doing like the end of your awards and stuff like that. And I was like, yeah! Yeah!

You rock! And I was just like clapping quietly. It was not my best form. I, uh, yeah, I feel like I got drunk right at the end. And then when I got home, I was like, oh, I'm drunk and then I was in the pie. I was just in the middle. Yeah, but I'd feel.

I ended up going out after two. So it was a fun night. It's a good night. I, let's, I want to get drunk with you and drunk. I haven't seen you drunk and like, for my birthday, if I go do something for my birthday, will you get drunk? Yes. Okay.

Yeah. January teens. January. January. January. January. January. January.

January. January. January. January. January. January. January. January. January. January. January. January. January. Can we have more alcohol-based shows? Like two people just get hammered in a room on camera.

Yeah, you wouldn't. Isn't that off topic? Yeah. No, it's more than two. Yeah, we could do that. I think that the thing about drinking for me, I don't really like drinking that much, but if I know it's like, oh, someone's birthday, they want to go out, they want to do this. Like, okay, I'll go out, I'll drink with them.

Like, Merrill had her birthday, I think it was two years ago where she's like, I want to go to this place for dinner, and then I wanna go to Barbara Ellis, which we've talked about in the podcast before, it's like, the last place you go when you're out drinking, you are probably already drunk when you get there. And so I went into the night with that mindset of like, okay, I'm gonna get drunk tonight, and I got drunk.

I did a fucking- Like hold my beer, so like- Body shot? On, I think I took one off of Texas, I did one off of Merrill. So if I'm prepared, I'm good. It was like off topic too, when we took over off topic, I was like, I'm going to get drunk on the show. My main reason for not getting as drunk anymore is that I just always have something to do the

next day. And even if it's the weekend, it's like, I'm just going to be worthless tomorrow. You also don't want to waste the weekend. That's something I've noticed so much now, where you're so busy and if so much going on during the week where you're like, the weekend's about to be here. This is where I get to clean my house and spend time watching shows or playing video games and relaxing, that you don't want to sleep in and waste that free time. Yeah, everybody's working for the weekend. Nobody.

That's okay. I got it. Thank you. I got it. I mean, I got it. We just couldn't sing it. Every once we had that, uh, that tequila podcast years ago. And that was terrible because we had received a bottle of tequila and recorded an audio podcast and we drank the entire bottle. And then we were just like, the day was wasted.

I think it was like me, Michael. Bernie. I don't remember who, I don't remember Michael was that. I don't remember who else was that. Oh, I'm right here. Were you there? Yes. I don't remember.

I remember, I remember, I was here yet, but I remember that podcast. We were done recording and we were like, 10 a.m. Yes, there's still the whole day of work to go. Yeah, because they were a sponsor, right? Or something like that? Unofficially, yeah. The game was a ball of tequila.

We were like, all right, fuck it. We'll drink it. They never keep it. You want to do that again? No. Yeah. I mean, yeah, we got this sick. He doesn't have to come in.

Let's do it for Chris's birthday. Yeah. We just worked there. The 18th of January. 18th of January. OK. You mean Bernie's birthday? Who? Yeah, we did the 18th of January. 18th of January. Okay. You mean punny's birthday? Who?

That's a Saturday. Can we do it the 20th? Yeah. I'm going to set it up right now. All right. Oh, God. Thank you. What do you want to drink?

Is it tequila or is it something else? We can do tequila. Or whatever you want. You're the birthday. I'm the birthday boy. Also, maybe pick something that's good with like a mix. Okay. I mean, I really will I don't really care. So what do you guys want? If you're birthday dude. All right. This is a full bar full bar. Yeah. Well, I find okay. Happy birthday birthday boy. Birthday

birthday boy. And we will arrange lists to get home that night. Yes. We will. I'll I'll make sure we get all the details covered and everything. Yeah, I just sent the calendar invite to. Yeah, don't drive to what? Let's see. All right. Oh God. I'm so nervous now. You're you're really excited about this.

Chris, it's like one thing to know you're going to drink. It's another to know you're going to get drunk. Chris. It's like one thing to know you're gonna drink. It's another to know you're gonna get drunk. You're gonna drink this, you know? Yeah, I feel like it's so rarely just happens anymore that it's now always an event. Like, especially with the holiday parties, like, okay, so I'm gonna get drunk that day. Yeah, I'm gonna get.

Before we did the always open takeover of a topic, before I left the house, I put two Advil and a bottle of water on my nightstand. And I put my pajamas on the bed like you're ready to go. And I was like, I'mma come home today. And Trevor had to like, change me because I was just like, yeah. Yeah, it's a, it's different when you're young. It's like, you don't care. Yeah.

No, we're all old and breaking I hate it. So we arranged like a minute delay on the live broadcast that day Just in case Probably like vomit or no, that's fine. It's like a it'll be like our version of the megacise for Christmas cast Oh God can we get banned from our own side? Yeah, they got I think they got banned from Twitch for a week, right? Yeah, they're they're back now. Yeah. Okay. What did they do? So every year they do this thing called the Christmas cast. And I don't know how it's right, Eric, you might have to jump in, but it was this thing where they all bring a food

item that they eat on the show. And it's usually either something really gross or something that would be really terrible to consume a lot of. For example, I think I think that's where they had the search drumming, right? I think, yeah, the search drumming. And I think that's where they had the sir strumming, right? I think, yeah, the sir strumming, and I think I want to say Brian did condensed chicken noodle soup, but like 20 cans of it. So the sodium should have killed him. It was. What do you want me to do?

So we've done a lot of weird foods. I think Brian is always my MVP for that, because he ate an entire KFC family meal by himself. That was all the sides and everything. I mean, everything. He sat and he ate the entire thing. It was like, it was too much. Obviously.

He ate, I think he made like a whole salad, but didn't, nothing was like cut. He ate like fruits and vegetables, like with skin on, like just biting into a banana. Yeah. Like biting into a banana, like biting into an orange. Oh, that stuff. Yeah, he drank a whole thing of honey, but I guess if you drink like a lot of honey by itself, it can like make you really sick or kill you. So he washed it down with a whole bunch of wine.

If you go and find the highlights, the best ever is Sean Chaffeele drinking a, an entire, not like a, like a regular bottle of wine, like there's big, like, the value pack. Yeah, huge thing of wine. He throws up the way that a fire hydrant is like open. Yeah. It's insane, but Rocco kept putting like butter on Sean's face, but Sean was so drunk he couldn't defend himself. So Christmas cast is always in abundance and then throwing up. So now they've moved

into food competitions, eating a whole bunch of food as fast as they can. And they were eating broccoli. So there was there was one that was just how many of these florets of broccoli can you eat, whatever. And it got to like these rounds deeper and deeper. And the final round was duck tongue. So they had to eat as many duck tongues as they could. As many. How many was the most? I don't remember, but it was too many and they have little bones in them.

Oh, yeah. Wait, dox have bones in their tongue? Yeah. I like that that competition immediately puts you in like the top 1% of like the people who have consumed the most duck tongue. Like, because no one said duck tongue. You have like two of them and it's like, you know what it said, uptons.

You have like two of them and it's like, I mean, you're up for echelon. Yeah. How did that start? Like, what was the thing that was like, let's do this for Christmas. It started a long time ago and it was like, oh, I think we're just, it was when the podcast was starting and it was, I think we could drink a whole gallon of milk

in an hour and then everyone would go, no, you can't. And then they're like, now we'll do it. So they did it and they couldn't do it. Never went through up. And then the next year it's like, no, you can't. And then they're like, nah, we'll do it. So they did it, and they couldn't do it. Never went through up. And then the next year, it was like, well, let's just do it with like weird foods. So it's bringing like a huge thing of mayonnaise

or ketchup or whatever. And it's just disgusting. The grossest part of the Christmas cast to me, and I'm sorry, Gavin, if this makes you sick. But the fact that Rocco wears the same thing every year, and it has dried vomit. Oh, it is. It's like a Santa costume.

He's had it for years. And Sean finds it and throws it away. But Rocco recovers it somehow. So no one knows the coveted vomit. It's also been in the trash. Yeah, so last year it was eating a lot of sour cream was one of the things. And it got all over Rocco. Rocco knew that he wanted it for the year after.

So he put it in a bag and show it in the corner of his office. And he didn't reveal that he still had it until he was on the show. And he said, this has been in the bag in the corner of my office for a week. Oh my God. Pulled it out, he put it on, it smelled terrible. It was just everyone going, oh, and then he started licking it. Oh my God.

Oh God. Fuck off. Why don't we have a show like that? No, I let, no, that's not how you show like that. I left that. I'm not doing that. That's, oh, I was there. I was totally a quiet that whole company. Yeah, if you watch it, I'd tell we just have all of mega 64. I was there when you were for it. Oh, yeah, for Christmas guests.

And I remember thinking like I really hope they don't make me eat anything or like I hope I don't have to bring anything because I'm there. Everyone also, you guys have a lot of people watching the show too, so people bring their own shit to eat. And I'm like, I'm going't have to bring anything because I'm there Everyone also you guys have a lot of people watching the show too, so people bring their own shit to eat and I Copt out by saying I'll just take a bite of everybody's thing

No one wants to eat anything right. I mean it really is bad. I just Because I produced the whole thing and I would be punching it So it would I would just go well. I have to work. Right. The cameras, but the smell, Gavin, the smell, Gavin, the smell of vomit all in one bucket from half eaten food is the grub. It with that sister swimming. Oh, we couldn't get the smell out for like a week. It was miserable at least it's not like summer where it's hot as well. Oh, I mean, it's San Diego, so it just gets hot during the,

oh, that's our old studio was just a place where they used to like repair cars, like a garage kind of like Bay. Yeah. So there was no insulation, so it would always just get super, super hot and then super, super cold. So the smell would like bake in and then reactivate what it was. Yeah, and then you have a fucking sour cream suit. Yep.

How much for you to get a small bucket of water, put in Rocco's all outfit with all the stains on, leave it in there for a night, pull it out, and then drink a cup of that water the next day. Yeah. No. No. That's like the gr-

Oh, I don't know why I was water. That's disgusting. I know. There's like different colors on it and stuff for there. I'm gonna be sick. Oh. Yeah, that's so cool. So check it out, youtube.com slash makes this more. I think just put it up today.

My favorite thing is the cut down that they would do of like, it was like a minute or a minute and a half and it's just like season screenings It's very Christmas. Yeah. Oh Good times. Yep. They also like chicken feet. That was gross. Oh, yeah There you go Be drink eat and drink responsibly. I saw That I maybe think about this you said drink responsibly. I saw that, I mean, we think about this, you said drink responsibly.

I saw that Glenn Livitt is gonna start selling glassless cocktails. They look like little tide pods. Oh, I saw that, yeah, I won't, that's what I want. Feel about that. Yes, like cocktails. We'll eat all our drinks. They look like tide pods, but they're filled with alcohol.

Oh, that's gonna really help the whole, don't eat the tide pod thing that people have going on. You can only eat tide pods if you're over 21 and if you eat them responsibly. Fuck. Yeah, we should get, we can just, if those are expensive, we just maybe just want to eat. They kind of look like chocolates. Yeah. Unwrap.
