Hey everyone welcome to the RESTEEZE Podcast this week brought to you by multi-sers Jersey mics and square and square space Bam bam bam. Two foods two foods. They're gonna fight. I'm Gus. I'm Gavin. I'm Blaine. I am Bernie Burns
I'm Gus. So right before we started you said something interesting. I never thought about what's that?
You said what if we all learn to play musical instruments to learn to play the RT podcast
Oh, I just want to play the instruments
I just want to learn how to play the exact bit of the intro.
And we will have a different instrument.
What instruments are used to make the RT podcast theme song?
Well, there's some, some broths up in there.
And there's a, yeah, saxophone.
A little saxophone, I would say.
And then there's like the more or less.
Her bongos.
He's an alto sax.
You see, alto or alto?
Alto.
Alto?
Alto?
Alto. I call saxophone.
Altowades.
You want to do the saxophone? Sure.
That's gonna be the hottest one.
Is it? Cause that's the easiest one.
I call it Bongo's.
I remember the hardest to use this.
Okay, but the theme song again?
Can we have that where we could cut up and play it again?
I don't know if they can.
They're looking and they're trying to figure it out.
Thanks for joining us on this podcast.
We'll be right back for the new podcast.
Just act like we're starting over again.
All right, I don't listen out for instruments.

All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. Yeah, we can we can do it. Let's do it. It's just me. I think is I'm afraid this give ourselves a one week.
I'm all that day. Go about it.
Do we have somebody make that for us or do we find that from a royalty free site?
No, I think it was a custom bit because I've been finding like I heard a commercial play like the million dollar
button theme song the other day. I was like oh strong.
The one for the gauntlet would show up everywhere all the time.
Oh, yeah.
That's like a local commercial.
When we made the aesthetic for that show,
I never thought that the infinity gauntlet
would become like a real thing,
was in mainstream culture.
And it's like, that's,
did that pre-day most of the Marvel movies,
the gauntlet stuff that we did?
The first one.
What year was the gauntlet?
We were in,
Bura?
No, no, we were in 66 by then. We were definitely in and Bura, were we in, no, no, we were in 636 by then.
Yeah, we were definitely, we were definitely in six. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, get out here. Yeah, you're crazy. Actually was the first thing. Yeah, the episode one aired on November 12
2012
So what so I was right. I was right. You said 2013. Yeah, I was right to 12. I was just as right as you both 12 13 is like
I said he's in one and two
Gavin's not caught up on Game of Thrones apparently no, I am a slime when I came into my house
Gush will be happy to know I didn't even invite you.
So, like, I just, you're now removed from the process entirely.
So the first Iron Man came out in 2008.
So same year.
Yeah.
No way to predict it.
I gotta say, I felt like this episode of Game of Thrones,
people on social media were really cavalier with the spoilers.
As soon as the episode was over.
It's not a spoiler after the episode comes out.
Yeah, people have been very, very quiet about stuff like that when the episode was over. It's not as spoiler after the episode comes out. Yeah, but people have been very, very quiet
about stuff like that when the episode comes out.
But this one, it was like immediately people
all made the same stupid joke.
I watched it.
Oh, the blue.
Yeah, it was like immediately.
Like cool.
Everyone's making the exact same joke.
I like watching 9 p.m.
and like starting at a 30, I was just like
nagging at the touch of my phone,
even for text, I was just like voting avoid or voting.
I wait for it to be on HBO go,
because it starts the same time it is on TV,
and then I skip to the end and I watch the ending.
I gotta go home and work on this tonight.
Does your HBO go, do you watch it?
I'm what device do you watch it?
Please, H4.
HXBOX, you watch it in the Xbox.
The Xbox One, I'm assuming?
Terrible.
Okay, are the blacks like ultra compressed? It's compressed, the bit rates too low, it's like there's like three differentrible. Okay. Are the blacks like ultra compressed?
It's compressed. The bit rates too low.
It's like, there's like three different blacks.
Okay. And is it a gradient?
Yeah. And you watch it move.
That's most streaming.
Okay. That's why I buy Blu-ray still is because you can still get the nice gradient
from greater black.
Or for a special game of thrones.
I was, I was going to go home and spend like an hour with my TV because I have
people over all the time to watch Game of Thrones.
Gavin, you get an invite, you declined.
You also get an invite, you declined.
I at least say, you did the truth.
I told him the truth.
He did.
I came up and I was like,
I'm gonna eat your protein right here.
I was like, I'm sorry, but I've seen,
I like Gus's, I'm going with Gus's idea
that Game of Thrones is better when you do.
Who'd you watch it with?
It's right.
And myself, in my home, in my large home slice pizza.
And he didn't want people, I figured that was also part of it.
You know I would eat half your home slice.
Yeah, a lot.
The last time you invited me over,
I was considering bringing a via through on three pizza
and just not letting anybody eat it.
Just being like, I'm sorry, I had to eat today.
This is very socially retarded for me to do this,
but I'm not letting anybody eat it.
So I just open it and just go right in the middle of it.
Ah.
But the, how many people did you have over?
We were originally going to have 11, but too many.
Tomb dropped out in less than a minute.
See for an episode that long, that's way too bad.
Guy down to night.
Is it like, is there a technical reason that you use HBO go instead of just
watching it off of like your DVR?
I don't have a TV.
That would be the technical reason.
Also, the technical reason would be that it's not 1080p.
Yeah.
It's true.
I'm in the eye TV doesn't do that. I don't care about that. that it's not 1080p. Yeah, that's true. Because 1080p, I.
TV doesn't do that.
I don't care about that.
The compression.
Are you willing to take that sacrifice for the compression?
Yeah, resolution, I get over fast.
I do.
But the compression stuff is just like,
I lack, because there's a lot of blacks
when they're like, Winterfell,
and then the dungeon, you're gonna notice.
It should be custom for that show.
Like, they should, I guess,
they should up the bitrate on that show,
but with so many people watching at the same time, that's probably gonna, that's probably a reason
to make it much lower than other shows.
How was that a viewing party? It wasn't yours, but this was the one that was like, it really
brought to my attention. I need to watch these alone, because people were talking to that
thing. But the guy had one of those adjusting TVs garbage and the blocks were like, oh god dammit.
Is that that?
I'm not spin.
Yeah.
Do it properly.
Do it properly.
The worst part is I bought her this costume.
You bought her that?
Like three weeks ago I bought her this costume.
How long is it?
Why did you take so long to do this?
Because I haven't been on a podcast.
Where are you?
I can't see you.
Weird.
I looked over to you.
She was in there. She was like an AR thing.
Yeah, you bought this like three weeks ago. I thought you were forgot about it by now.
A little relish and everything else.
So you had forgotten about it.
I had totally forgotten about it.
You know, on the podcast, just because you know,
you just know region.
It's just hot dogging it up.
Barbara came to Game of Thrones night.
How was it? Too many people?
I had it.
I had an insider source tell me that there was way too much fucking talking.
Who talked?
Who talked?
Barbara is by the way, your inside source I can say is correct and help Mike.
That was too much talking.
That's awful.
That's awful.
That's awful.
That's awful.
Any talking is too much talking.
Anybody talk at all?
I mean, everybody.
Everybody talked.
I'm telling him he's right.
Well, you're so close.
There was too much talking.
The reveal that we're talking and you would shush them
and they would go, they would still keep talking
after you shushed them and it like they would just lower it.
No, not even.
Not even.
That would be the current.
This is just any TV show.
I want to go now.
They brought you a mic.
I was talking.
Bye.
I was talking in the sense where I was like going like, oh, whoa. Were you talking? Bye. I was talking in the sense where I was like, going like, oh, whoa.
Were you drunk?
No.
Okay.
Jesus is going, oh, who was the worst?
But you get it like the entire episode.
Oh, whoa, like even the most hell of it.
It's just the opening credits.
You get to dance like a hot dog.
I don't think I throw anybody to the bus.
And I don't think they ought to even know
who some of the people were.
I know.
Oh, I know it is.
Bye, Mark.
But there are people who were like,
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, disturb. There could be an emergency. I'm care.
I'm also worried though that Bernie and Ashley are going to try to get their revenge and
spoil it.
Like send me a spoiler soon.
You didn't spoil it.
I was just fucking with you that night.
I was terrified.
I was like, you want to explain?
You want to explain?
I don't think you've said what you're talking about.
We were in Mexico.
Ashley and I went on a short little trip to Mexico. And we were gonna watch Game of Thrones,
but we were dinner and for whatever reason,
Blaine just started texting Ashley in the middle of dinner
and like started texting about Game of Thrones.
And then I wrote it on my phone for that.
I said, stop texting Ashley.
And then I realized after I wrote that,
that I needed to explain this about Game of Thrones
because I just sounded like I was mean to Blaine say,
don't text my girlfriend.
I was like, we haven't watched Game of Thrones yet. I was just getting through all these scenarios. I was like, okay,, because I just sounded like I was mean to blame. Say, don't catch my girlfriend. We haven't watched Game of Thrones yet.
I was searching for all these scenarios.
I was like, okay, what do I do?
But I was basically, I was just like sitting theories,
because it was like super hyped from the episode.
And it actually like of everyone that I know,
I think Ashley knows the most about Game of Thrones.
So I was like, oh, wait, see this, what do you think of this?
Totally didn't realize you guys were in Mexico.
But now, by the way, that it's kind of rough
because next week is going to, we're trying
to figure out how they're going to do it.
But they do a, Gus, you're on it, I believe, they do the Game of Thrones livestream every
Monday.
The know your right, yeah, you've been on that a couple times, at least, right?
Yeah, it's usually her and rice and they go, they go for it in deep and do it.
So if you really want to talk about Game of Thrones, every Monday they do the livestream, they
did say like new, or something like that. And then they posted up on
the note. Two or three PM. Let me ask her. I think I talked about this after the last
episode of Game of Thrones, but I feel like it's been kind of reinforced again with this
episode about how they really don't want to, the stakes are not raised. Like I feel like
nobody's actually in danger. I think I need more people are close to danger, and then they get out of it.
They now have red shirt characters.
Yes.
I knew that, like, you didn't see those red shirts
at the end of the last episode.
No. I saw them at the beginning of this one.
I was like, oh, well, there you go.
Yeah.
Well, I saw them in the back, because they were like
calling something and it was like, yeah,
this guy's gonna be the first to go.
But I went into this episode thinking that only two mains
were gonna survive.
And, well, stuff happens.
But like, yeah, I was pretty disappointed
because I feel like they kind of like lost
their balls a little bit.
Still thought there was no case.
I was kind of hoping that the first episode of the season,
they would just immediately kill someone.
Yeah, like a big death.
Right.
I think the next episode they have to have,
they're gonna have to hit everyone
who's left at this point is years of dedication of fans.
Like who are your two favorite characters
who are the left in the show?
For me, it's for you.
If you're not paying attention to the show at all,
sorry, who's left?
My favorite character from the beginning is still alive.
Who is it?
Joramormat.
Joramormat?
Joramormat and Jamie Lannister are my two favorite characters.
I love them both.
I love Joramormat.
He's like, he's always got your back.
He's just sort of loyal.
Even though he was a Traia at the time.
Like Aria.
It's brought in a toss up between Jamie and fucking never mind.
Pound.
Pound.
Yeah.
I've like town's doorstep game.
Yeah.
Sandor Gregor.
Sandor.
Gregor's is.
Gregor's the mountain mountain.
Yeah.
Still alive.
Still alive from.
So I have a theory.
I guess this could potentially be a spoiler.
I have a theory and explains hard home as well.
Hard home we just watched that episode,
which by the way was season five.
There was two seasons ago that they had hard home.
They would like, yeah, that's when the dead
like totally over ran that wild-ling port.
And they had a really awesome chief this character
who was in it, she was fucking incredible. Probably one of the best like double that really awesome chief this character who is in it she was fucking incredible
So probably one of the best like
Smaller characters in the entire game of turns sense that kids off. Yep, and then gets attacked by those kids
This is all season five stuff this two years ago, and she she wakes back up, but the end of that scene is very
Formative for the series. That's when the night king and johnson or just staring each other down and johnson's a center robot
But the dead are like less than 50 yards away.
Yeah.
They're just like on the shore.
I have a theory based on last night.
I don't think that the dead can cross water, which is why they have to wait for winter,
because they cannot physically cross water.
They have to have a lot of the rivers freeze over.
They have to freeze the rivers and the lakes and everything have to freeze over in order
for them to cross them. So they should just build boats instead of
a pool. I thought I was one. Yeah. Because I think about like the world war Z and like zombies
and how they behave underwater. And they feel like, right, we didn't see any kind of equivalency.
Hmm. By the way, seven days to die, they do that, which they just did a big update for seven
days. Did I? Are you playing it all? No they just did a big update for seven days to die.
Are you playing it all?
No.
It's a really great game, right?
So you're just playing, we actually just made a,
I just ordered a community server for it.
But unfortunately, you can only have 24 slots.
So it's just small enough to where I think I'll make it available
to like first members or something.
Try to figure out how to do community servers.
But the big thing in the new seven days to die update, Gavin,
I know you're familiar with the game,
is there's a shitload more or less wandering herds of zombies, like 10 to 15
zombies.
As you want to tell us about the, the, no, your throne stuff.
Anybody got a mic for it?
They're running it.
You don't have to run.
I explain how the, the livestream works and I know this is kind of bad because next week's
kind of wonky, but.
Yeah, well, we're just live streaming basically a spoiler cast of each
episode of Game of Thrones on the no YouTube channel every week.
Mostly is an excuse to talk about it and get paid for it and it's fun.
Who's on it?
It depends on who's available.
I've been on most of them.
Gus, Blaine, John, and...
What do you bet?
Yeah, like two or three times.
Yeah, so it's a lot of fun.
No, watch. Mostly because it's cool because we can get corrections from chat and we have
all our theories.
There's a lot of chat interaction.
There's one of the things I like about doing that is like the back and forth like the
spinning ideas or like going off of things that we say as well.
I did not look at chat though because like I got something spoiled from this latest episode
from just a little speech blurb and I was like, gosh, gosh, gosh, everything spoiled from this episode or chat. Everything from this latest episode, from just a little speech blurb, and I was like, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Ash got everything spoiled from this episode,
or a chat.
Everything for this live episode.
From chat?
From moderating comments on YouTube,
trying to like delete them for other people.
I took the bullet, I did it.
You look like you're in a game of thought
and seen with that throne behind you
that here's in half with DM chair, I think, is behind you.
Yes.
Bring me wine.
Look at that.
If you had a flagging of wine, it's like,
even the way it's lit and everything,
you go like a flickering.
And if your choreographer's on fire,
or your microphone was on fire.
And if there were more naked people back there.
And if there were, if you were in season one,
we've been watching season one lately,
that show is way more nude in season one.
Way more nude.
Everybody's naked.
I'm also fucking holder-shaking.
Yeah, it's a big old prostite cockle.
Horror is a show.
All right, we don't need to go crazy.
Yeah, the hoedore is taller than the mountain.
Oh, what?
In real life.
That's crazy.
Guys, Tula, I'm gonna leave it.
Thank you, Dash.
Story wise, that makes sense though,
because you know, oh, that's an angle.
Because he's got like part giant's blood.
No, no.
Who does?
Hoedore.
Is that what it is?
Yeah, I think that's what it is.
How do you have part giant's blood, I think that's what it is. How would you apart giant's blood?
I think the wildlings says that.
I just ran with that.
But how would it, at some point somebody banged a giant?
Yeah.
Why don't, that big D.
He only needs his sperm.
Maybe just splash.
It's how you get it.
That's the problem.
You could be a male human banging a giant female.
How does that work?
Climb on up.
You go like this,
but it's really,
wait, a male human banging a giant.
Yeah.
What if that vagina is the same as that?
It's like a micro penis, right?
It's like, it's not huge.
It's just like a one-footed rod.
You just have a good throw distance, I feel like.
You know, like two dudes opening it up. Walk in? Yeah. You don't have a good throw distance, I feel like.
You have like two dudes opening it up, walk in?
Yeah, fucking do your business.
And I have no idea how we ended up here.
I really apologize.
I have tons of theories,
I just, we shouldn't talk about Game of Thrones.
Okay, let's be done talking.
Dispoiler casts, not perform well.
Can you wanna after the podcast, the post show,
or is that gonna...
They don't think we do well.
I think like, you're really segmenting
your audience at that point.
That makes sense.
Yeah, to like the people who care about Game of Thrones
and the people who don't want it spoiled,
won't watch.
Sure.
They'll watch us and also watch Game of Thrones.
Yeah, that's basically the,
you get this Venn-Diard brand.
The Boy Chalk, go ahead and limit everything.
Makes sense.
Also, honestly, people want us to discuss it,
but then when we discuss it, they don't like our ideas.
It's kind of like, because they have their own ideas
and they can't voice them as easily as we can.
So yes, spoiler cast general just don't do great,
but Game of Thrones is an excellent television program
and we highly recommend that you watch it.
Yes.
The, it doesn't really get that many ratings
in the grand scheme of things, so right?
Like I mean, it's like 18 million or something. I think it's the biggest dream we really see ever. It doesn't really get that many ratings in the grand scheme of things, so right?
I mean, it's like 18 million or something.
I think it's the biggest, pretty release ever.
But not like as big as like Walking Dead
or something like that.
No, I think it is better than Walking Dead.
I think the season premiered this time is 10 million.
And I always associate Walking Dead as like six to seven million.
But do you need a subscription to watch Walking Dead?
No, you're gonna.
Same thing.
It just came from.
Dude, why if it does better?
AMC.
I tried to watch Walking Dead like this.
Whatever this last season was, the first Negan season.
And I watched it on the AMC introduced a service to their website where you could watch
it like an hour after it finishes the West Coast broadcast.
You could then turn into the website and watch it.
But they put commercial breaks in it, like not just running ads, but like commercial breaks.
And literally the first ad was like one of seven.
And he had to sit through seven, 32nd ads.
It's like conventional TV.
And it really did, just that experience
of sitting in the chair and watching what is a totally
normal amount of ads for a television program
versus what you used to sitting in that chair.
It's like I was like, this is unnavigable.
I can't do this.
And I turned it off.
And I left.
The adult swim app did that for a Rick and Morty episode
that I was watching the other night.
And I saw that it was like,
it was like a minute and a half long ad.
So I muted it down.
I said Alexis said,
I'm from 90 seconds, Alexa playing music.
And I just laid in bed for the ad to go by.
I was like, I would rather lay here
and start my blank wall listening to music
than listen to a fucking ad.
That's crazy.
Speaking of ads.
No!
No!
You're a tag-wag.
No!
You know you can change the name of your Alexa?
Get your...
Yeah, or a computer.
So you just sit in your house and go,
computer, that's kind of like...
That's kind of cool.
Yeah, but think about how often you say computer.
Not that often, how do I'm talking to people in my house
because I don't have anybody over
Cortana on Xbox is worse than ever
Dog shit. I had a game. Let me tell you let me dog a-ness. Let me tell you something about that
I finally had to unplug my connect. I used it like you did occasionally to talk to it. Yeah complain about it
But I had a game the other day that I purchased and I I went to, I downloaded it, went to launch it,
and it said, like, the game booted up,
and it said, press A to start.
Press A, nothing.
Press A, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
It was like, all right, let me quit and restart the game.
Quit the game, we started, press A, nothing, nothing.
Hard booted in my Xbox, booted back up,
launched the game, it says, hit A, nothing, nothing, nothing.
So I look online, like, why the fuck can I play my game?
It's like, oh, if you're having this problem,
unplug your connect from your Xbox, boot it and then it'll work
Well, what is it never plug it back? It's unplugged. It's over. They fucking killed it
I don't like it and I have not plugged it back in I was like fuck you you you released a game that makes me unplugged
The peripherally tried so hard to push it launch
So my I'm in a constantly Tacoma
Oh, I want to play that now. It's a made by the people made gone home. my, I'm in a constant loop to coma. Ooh, I wanna play that.
It's a, it's made by the people who made gone home.
Okay.
I'm in a constant loop.
Okay. I'll say Cortana, sign in as Gavin,
and it will, you know, put up on the screen
what I said, sign in as Gavin.
Then it'll send that shit to the internet,
and it'll come back as signing as Kevin.
Like it spelled Gavin first.
Send that, I got it back as Kevin, it says there's no one.
Oh, I see.
I was like, but you know what I said,
and there's an account, just do it locals,
an account called Gavin.
And then I'm like, trying to go to Netflix,
it takes me to download Netflix in the store.
And on that page, or the page after it,
you can't go voice command anymore.
Like you're, you're sent to options
where it's like you have to pick up a controller now.
It's like brilliant.
You've just dead ended me into the store.
Prick!
In our house, I'm the only person
who can be understood by the voice recognition stuff.
Actually, it just doesn't understand her.
And if I may make a suggestion
to the richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos,
now richest man in the world, by the way.
Yes.
For your Alexa Echo Dot, whatever you want to call it,
a little piece of equipment, don't have it
read you error messages, just have it make noise,
like, eh, like just error, general error.
I don't want to know.
I can't do this right now because of these reasons.
Right, it gives you a full fucking answer.
You're waiting for the end of it,
or it's like the variable is at the end of it.
Like, I'm sorry, I can't find a device called Spaghetti Bowl. It's like, that's not what I said at all. You know, it's like the variable is at the end of it. Like, I'm sorry, I can't find a device called spaghetti bowl.
It's like, that's not what I said at all.
You know, it's just like, yeah, you just want to be like,
you are S-O-L.
Yeah, just, that's it.
It's like, I didn't get it.
That's all the information I need.
It's just, no, I started just saying her to shut up. And you're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no or like save before we go on. I do know that you can turn off Cortana and switch back to Xbox and I have done that.
But every few months I try it again.
They must have done it by now.
Nope.
I think that's pissing me off.
I think they've given up.
We need a different name for the echo
when we talk about them the podcast.
Like we should call it like,
I should say a lot of it,
but that's actually the person we know.
A lot.
We should give it a random name
so that we don't set off people's devices every time.
Call it Andy.
Andy the bomb.
Okay.
That's nice.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Andy Blanchard, which I don't want to be accused of that ever.
PornHub does this thing on their mobile devices.
Go ahead.
Where they open up your Snapchat.
Not that I've had this happen to me.
What's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on?
It'll happen. It'll pull up. And you'll be like, fuck. So wait, you see your face juking off?
No, so it'll do this thing towards,
like there'll be an ad.
How does that work?
I don't know, but it's happens to a friend of mine
like five times to a friend of mine.
Do you like snap and self-publish it?
No, I don't know what it's doing.
I think it's trying to get you to add somebody,
but it's just the second that you see your camera activating
and then snap, trapped, screen pulled up,
you're immediately like, oh shit,
keep covering your camera.
You're about to watch porn,
you're probably at a state of.
This has happened in my video,
or like at the start of the video.
It starts when you're like clicking
through the porn hub website, according to my friend.
You can admit it to you, it's okay.
Longest relationship, dude,
you gotta have to rely on certain things.
I'm not.
Yeah, it's kind of fucked up,
and I wish I wouldn't do that.
I was thinking about tweeting them
that I was gonna out myself like I am right now. I mean my friend.
Great.
Technology sucks.
Hey, Twitter's not doing a thing apparently where if somebody messages me and says Bernie honey doesn't spoil on.
I just extended that by another two years.
Like a deal if they say that on Twitter
And I reply back your shut up your idiot
It will then post to people who followed me post the feed and post our conversation you join the conversation
Yeah, yeah, and then it's but they don't follow him
Yeah, that person but they do follow me. So all of a sudden it like elevates the whole conversation up to where they see the whole thing
That's kind of that's a huge change. Yeah, why is why did they start doing that because I've noticed it's like making me quote tweet everybody
Basically is what it's it's turning everything. I all my replies into quote tweets. It's garbage. It's garbage. It's garbage
It's garbage. Yeah, garbage. Hey, yeah, thank you rubbish rubbish. You know, you know
Surah guys, but thank you. That is trash. That is the language of my people. Yeah, see.

It's not right now, not.
You're in Jersey, Mike's.
What do you order?
Terce, do you have weed bread option?
I believe so.
I normally get white.
You can't, you can do it.
Or you can do the seven tub without flair.
Without fanfare.
No, I like bread.
I mean, like, I like bread.
Well, like carbs and fat, you need those.
So yeah.
Unless I'm like getting, trying to get ripped for like RTX.
So just order the carbon fats.
So if you can, carbs and fat.
Man, I was at a Whole Foods the other day
and I, they had like this little, like pizza for one, right?
Like in the refrigerated section, it's like you heat it up
and the oven, it's not frozen, it's just like cool.
You just heat it up and eat it.
I was like, wow, that pizza looks really good. I'm gonna eat it. So I took it home, heat it up the oven, put it in the refrigerated section, it's like you heat it up and the oven, it's not frozen, it's just like cool, you just heat it up and eat it. I was like, wow, that pizza looks really good,
I'm gonna eat it.
So I took it home, heat it up the oven, put it in the oven,
took it out, took a bite out of it,
and I didn't realize it was like some multi-grain crust thing,
and it was like so, she was like,
this would have been better if they put it on the cardboard.
It was just like so, it made my jaw tired to eat it.
Is it cold foods?
Yeah.
Do you feel healthy though?
I felt so fucking healthy.
We had a pizza today.
We had no hands. I mean, they ordered pizza for it. And I like that.
Stack of boxes for that. You could, it was like, it was like someone was starting a Minecraft house.
It was just this massive tower. Two of them of pizza boxes, because there's so many people here eating pizza.
And I guess we ordered like probably a pizza for every two or three people. So it was at least a
hundred to a hundred and fifty pizzas a lot of day. But that I agree with you three people. So it was at least 100 to 150 pizzas a lot of times a day.
But I agree with you, Gavin.
That pizza was awful and I loved it.
It was like one of like, I don't know where it came from.
I would say it because it was exactly and shay and delicious.
Yeah, I like so good that.
I've eaten at that place and it's good if you eat there,
but then I think something about the transport of it here.
No, but it was good.
Yeah, it's good.
But I recognize, but it was inlook terrible.
And it seemed like it was made of terrible quality ingredients,
but I loved everybody of it.
Anytime the cheese, you can see the cheese like sweating,
you know, after it's been kind of like sitting,
it's just like, but I still ate it too.
Yeah, even though it's not Sunday.
Do you watch the eclipse?
I did.
I could freak that a little bit today because
I bought my kids, like basically what looked like
welding goggles.
And then I bought them some other,
I gave them a couple different options.
I really fucking did Tediah solid.
I bought a pair of eclipse binoculars.
He was damn nice.
He's starting a new school today.
So I wanted to make sure that he was like,
got laid and six grade with his binoculars.
That's a friend magnet.
Yeah, like, almost like 50 bucks.
But anyway, yeah.
So I, no, no, for binoculars, they're like,
but they're also like a one-use thing.
I can pack them away on 2024 now.
Yeah, there we go.
I got another solar eclipse right around the corner.
Yeah, it's coming.
Don't even bother putting them in storage.
Yeah, they'll probably find out
that it's like those, we're not using dark enough lenses.
Anyway, I had a little bit of a freak out this morning
because, uh, don't let stuff ready for them,
they went off to school.
And then, of course, again on the fucking internet,
and I find out that every pair of eclipse glasses
that anyone's ever bought are all counterfeit
and they're gonna burn your eyes out.
So, I'm like, Fouche.
There was a, an elementary school here in Austin
that had to cancel its eclipse viewing
because the PTA realized all the eclipse glasses
they bought were counterfeit.
But they tested them and said they felt like they were good
enough but they didn't feel secure so they canceled it.
Like some of them were bad.
But surely if you look through them and the sun is a color
then they're good enough.
Okay, do you think you'd look through them
in the sun?
Well, how could it not be a color?
Yours were green.
Like, if you can see the sun is orange or red, this obviously cancelling enough light to
the point where it's not just like you're looking into light.
That's like the white light.
Gotcha.
What do you know?
What an arbitrary distinction that you can see color.
What?
It's an arbitrary.
I mean, if you can see the color, you're not, it's not overexposed your eye.
Your eye would be white.
Yours were pretty bright.
I put yours on as well as your...
Yeah, I was a little worried about it.
Mine were like, it was pretty nice.
I basically had the same ones.
Teddy took some of the goggles.
That's why I know it with those shitty spikes.
Even my kids were like, oh, the kids like these are cool.
Kids took one look at those spike lenses and they were like, get that the fuck away.
They were awesome.
I'm not going anywhere near those.
So they take the plain ones.
Teddy took one of the plane pairs.
I take the spiky pair.
And then when I thought they were counterfeit,
you know what my solution was, it's dead.
I went out and went out with both pairs of glasses
and stared at the sun for three minutes straight with them on
and then took them off and was fine.
And then did it with the other parents
staring for three minutes straight.
I was still looking in your eyes.
They're like, you're burnt.
I know, it's like, well, I'm less worried
about my vision than my kids' vision.
So I'm just like, I feel a better approach
than the Donald Trump approach.
Just look again.
Listen, to be fair.
Yeah, go ahead, Blake.
Well, it's to be fair, that was a,
he looked up at it, and then looked back down.
So like, I feel like everybody is great photo,
but everybody did it.
But like, everybody, everybody at the point, everybody did that. You didn't look at the sun. I did, still a graph photo. Everybody is a great photo, but photo. Everybody did it, but like
everybody, everybody at the point, everybody did that. I look, you didn't look at the sun. I did not look
at the sun. I heard it for a, for a brief second. I'm looking at it, doesn't it? It like blows
around the moon. You know, my goggles got moved to where I could see it and I was like, oh,
so it happened briefly, but I wasn't like, I keep looking at that light like it's a sudden. It's
actually hurting my eyes. I mean, unless you're like right under totality,
you can't see the present, right?
I'm still gonna look.
What?
Just for a second.
He did look twice though.
So what?
He looked at it and was like, oh, put a dog on.
The present should have better PR.
He shouldn't have someone.
Which, it looks like he's just standing there staring
at the sun cause it's a photo.
If you look at the video of it, he does this.
Here's literally what he does. Let's get some video Bernie. He's like talking and he's just standing there staring at the sun because it's a photo. If you look at the video on it, he does this. Here's literally what he does.
Well, let's get a video, Bernie.
He's like talking and he's like,
da, da, da, da, da, da, da,
and he looks up and he goes, like, that.
That's literally what he does.
Everybody did that.
Everybody did that.
I did not do that.
I did not do that.
I get out of here.
Do you feel like there was a lot of cynicism
on social media about the eclipse?
It's just tight.
People can't stand hype anymore.
Everyone's mad about everything now. I feel like I'm so, so, so, I'm so about the eclipse. It's this type, people can't stand hype anymore. Everyone's mad about everything now.
I felt like I'm, like, oh, I'm so over the eclipse.
I'm so pleased.
I'm like, oh, you can't wait to go out and see the sun.
Like make your fun of people.
Most people haven't seen one, right?
Yeah, I haven't, I wasn't born
when the last one was around.
I still want an ambulance.
I was still in photos of them from like seven years ago
in place, I'm like, I don't remember
the being discussed at all.
Cause it didn't have to all. This was a phenomenon.
Everyone was talking about it.
I'd want to school in the 90s in the UK
that it was a big deal at the time.
Everyone was doing the pinhole through the sheet
to see the present.
It's really cool when the sun comes
through the leaves of trees and then the sun comes.
Yeah, there's tons of the, the sun crescent.
The boca.
You can do that with a camera lens.
You can take a piece of construction paper
and you can put it over the front of the lens,
like a black piece of construction paper,
and then you can cut a shape,
like in this case it would be a crescent moon,
or you can do a star or hearts.
And then you know like if you have a photo of you,
if I'm taking a photo of you guys
and the depth of field is super shallow,
and the lights behind you,
those little light bulbs on your arrow sign, which anyone can cut to at any point in
time while I'm pointing at them.
No?
Okay, here we go.
Right shot.
So you're not giving me number two.
So, yeah, oh, no, no, no, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
The lights on the sign that's right over Gus's head, they would appear if they were blown
out completely in depth of field, you can get them to be heart shaped or whatever the shape
of the thing is.
There we go. Hey, that was great them to be heart shaped or whatever the shape of the thing is. There we go.
Hey!
Not again.
Minute late, that was great.
No, no, no, I thought it was my fault.
I thought they would be in the shot for sure.
It's me not knowing our own count intent.
I thought it was really cool.
I filmed a little bit for my Instagram
of the little crescent bit.
I thought it was neat.
It's one of those things that a bunch of people
were experiencing it at once in many different areas.
So like social media is blowing up, but you're also with your friends. I thought it was a fun experience. We have a lot of people were experiencing it at once in many different areas. So like social media is blowing up,
but you're also with your friends.
I thought it was a fun experience.
There's a lot of people standing outside
ruining US worker productivity by $700 million.
If I go on outside and being fucking humans
and enjoying something that's actually cool,
Anthony Craboney had some really funny tweets
about that in particular.
God, what, how fucking,
I'm sure it was posted more as like an interesting stat
in that cumulative time is so valuable and you don't realize it
But I don't think it was like oh we should all not go outside. How fucking stupid
so we should have the
My house outside for came to the one of the people was one of the main actors from blood fest Robbie came over and
No, Robbie K. Yeah, he's great. It's super nice to just like to talk to me. I
Yeah, he's great. Super nice to just like to talk to you.
What do you mean?
He might have talked a little bit,
but I enjoyed everything you had to say.
He might have talked a little bit.
Those are really fucking bad at shot.
There's a lot of really cool moments
when the group is walking through the tundra
and there was a lot of people who have similar experiences
who then ended up in the same place,
walking next to each other,
they talk about stuff like Tormund
and the Hound having the conversation on, like, Tormund and the Hound
having the conversation on the creative tarth.
And the Hound's like,
fuck that bitch.
But there was a shot where,
who is the,
Tormund is talking about,
Vance Raider.
So that's Vance Raider.
Vance Raider, yeah, Vance Raider.
Talking about him,
how he's a really great man.
And then he walks,
clears something behind him.
And this epic shot
opens up behind him with the sun like pouring in.
And like I noticed it and I heard Robin that go,
oh nice.
Yeah, that's cool because they were cutting
between different setups, different camera positions
and it was still the same lights.
They must have been holding us
or doing like multi camera to get that to match.
Dude, if I was shooting in that environment,
I would have like 80 camera man.
I'd have backup, backup camera man for every camera,
basically.
It was just like stop.
Interesting to see the height difference.
Like a torment just dwarfed John when they're walking
side by side and then torment was walking
next to the hound.
That was like a foot taller.
It's like damn, that guy's tall.
Tall is dicks.
It has to be to take on his brother.
That's true.
So I came up with the best invention.
It can't exist.
But I think it would be great.
Go ahead.
Imagine if when your cat died.
No, great.
You know what I'm talking about?
It's really talking about this joke, the cat.
It's now like 11, I think.
So you get it right.
Right.
Imagine if when your cat died, a little slit opened up in the corpse of your cat and printed out a receipt,
a transcript of everything you'd ever said to your cat.
I don't think that's an invention.
I'm curious to know how you invented this.
Well, I was thinking it would be a good idea.
I would love to know.
Why is that even in the cat?
What can they do send it to you?
Like remotely. I don't know, the cat was keeping track of it the whole time
But you're crying opening your cat up. Oh, we got one to see my receipt
It would take so long to print as well depending on how old the cat was I would just love you can't read your
Because of me situation where like you're talking to somebody like what did you say last week?
And like I don't remember you look at a cat like I bet we can find out right now. Oh, no
Cat spies no, it have to be it wouldn't be listening to a conversation
so it would just receive what you were saying to it.
So it'd be an asshole.
It'd be an asshole.
It'd be an asshole.
It'd be an asshole.
It'd be an asshole.
Big old transcript of just garbage and nonsense.
I would love to read everything I've said to my kids.
I would love to get a stat dump at the end of my own life.
Just like how many pounds of hair it'd be.
Yeah, but I would want you to print it though.
What?
Me myself, Frank.
Oh, total length of fingernails is grown.
Yeah, I'm loving.
There's a short that's kind of like that.
I forget what it's called, but the guy can ask any question
he has a minute to ask his question.
Is that white?
In the white room.
Well, there's two.
There's one that's kind of a funny one,
and then there's one that's not funny.
It's a dead serious one, like true love and that kind of stuff. I like the funny one better. The funny one's two. There's one that's kind of a funny one, and then there's one that's not funny. It's a dead serious one, like true love
and that kind of stuff.
I like this funny one better.
The funny one's right.
Yeah.
Those guys in general are very, very funny.
Did you ever see, I can't remember the name of the channel,
but they did the video where the dude in the chair,
like the Dr. Evil character turns.
They're in a warehouse.
What?
No, there was a noise.
There's a noise.
Oh, I missed the noise.
You fart? No, it was like a phone or something.
It's like a phone camera.
You guys know the video I'm talking about
where the guy's in the Dr. Evil, he's in a warehouse
and he's like, oh, Mr. Bond.
Oh yeah, he turned around.
But then he's not there.
And he's like shit, and he turns back.
And then his buddy's helping him,
like, he's coming, he's coming, he's coming.
And so he just keeps doing the turn in all this
and it's really, really fucking funny. I forget what's the name of the video. I have no idea. But it's a, those guys, it's coming, he's coming, he's coming. And so you just keep doing the turn in all this and it's really, really fucking funny. Yeah.
I forget what's the name of the video.
I have no idea.
But it's a, those guys, it's same, what's it called?
Chris and Jack is their channel.
Chris and Jack is the name of their channel.
Got John Reising or giving.
Really funny guys.
Thank you, John Reising.
Backtracking for us.
I like you, I like you over there doing the,
you know, you should definitely put that in the link dump.
That's a, that's a great video.
So great.
Someone, someone posted their cats response
to your idea, Gavin.
Cat's upset.
A very upset looking cat.
So I like to like know like one to day get one thought
that my cat has about me, just like or whatever, you know.
Cat's have no regard for us, right?
What would you think it would think?
Just like you again, that's every time when I see Joe,
I imagine that's what he says to me. Joe the cat is like, it like you again. That's every time when I see Joe I imagine that's what
he says to me. Joe the cat is like, it's you again. Who is this on Twitter at Wiz LaKifa?
Says you can call it cat stats. There you go. It'd be brilliant. What's funny about that
name? Cat stats. Just kind of rhymes I guess. It's a good, it'd be a good app. Cat. You
make a jingle out of that
Probably cats that just trying to engage social media sure guys
You're fucking knocking it out of the park and going to the cat's talking about tweets
All right, you can tweet us at hashtag RT podcast what fictional impossible invention would you like to invent?
Let me think about this
I should have given you a prep on my head you might come back to me in this
I've got a story like you got all. That's, yeah, that's it.
So my, I just moved into a new apartment
and my parents is housewarming present.
We're gonna give me a couch.
You move a lot.
About every two years.
Oh, I remember I wrote.
We've known each other for so long.
So I moved and my parents were giving me a new couch
and they were looking at getting like a love seat
to compliment the couch that I was getting.
And I was like, yeah, if you could,
I mean, I'll pay for the other couch,
just see if they have one that has a matching fabric
because I think it'd be cool for you know, it's the same thing.
And they're talking to the furniture salesman.
The furniture salesman was like, yeah,
you're not gonna wanna get your son matching furniture.
If it's too matchy, matchy, people are gonna think he's gay.
And, uh, yeah, you're just, it's best if you get like,
if he's gonna get a gray, you might wanna get like a black couch,
but you don't want people thinking, you know,
all the da, and my parents are like,
matching furniture?
Yeah, but this guy was saying like,
you don't want your, you keep it people thinking
your kid is gay.
I have no idea who the fuck I was.
He didn't know who my parents.
How old was this guy?
He was like probably in his 30s. I didn't see who the fuck I was. He didn't know who my parents. How old was this guy? He was probably in his 30s.
I didn't see him,
but he was just based off the description.
And my parents, which was like,
this is a super progressive thought for them,
because they're like conservative folks.
They're like, what if you were gay?
That's a very offensive.
And I was like, yeah, good job, mom.
I don't know.
Even if you're not gay, it's still offensive.
Oh, I don't know.
But it was kind of fucked up that a
refer to your salesman was like,
be out of doubt. That's a ridiculous thing to say.
So did you match furniture?
What's that?
No, I got it.
I got a matching matchy.
What are you, gay?
Gay love.
Over there, like you.
You're matching.
I've never given a second thought
to the fact that I love seeing matchy children.
No, that's ridiculous.
So stupid.
If it's something you've strained people,
if you think about it, more than anything else,
like that straight people have these horrible
furniture settles.
Like we can't match two couches.
Yeah, honestly.
Pidious, definitely straight.
How hard is that?
You're fucking right.
Yeah, so I said you can't have good style.
She's straight.
I'd be angry.
Hey, so two stories happened this week.
One is relevance. We just talked about
Trump and everything. I don't know if it's relevant to Trump, but it's relevant to political
environment. Okay. So we are based in Austin, Texas, which is the home of the University of
Texas at Austin. Yes. We have two graduates. Of course, the rock didn't retweet my graduation
ceremony, but he did yours. You're playing. And there's a number of statues that are on
the UT campus that are statues of people who were big in the Confederacy and then also big
contributors to the university. Lee Hogg, Reagan, and somebody else. Davis. Davis, I think, yeah.
And they removed all those statues overnight. They're gone.
Which I have to bring up because regardless of your politics,
just looking at this at an objective level,
was this protest that took place in Charlottesville?
Was that the least effective protest
in the history of protests?
Because I feel like because of the protest,
everyone's getting rid of the fact that you're doing that.
They were trying to prevent there
is now happening everywhere.
Oh, good idea.
Literally within two weeks,
it's like it's happening everywhere.
I've never understood why we have a lot of statues
of Confederacy generals and heroes,
because this is a group who actively fought
against the United States.
It's yes, it is a rebellious group
that rebellion that was quelled. Right, it is a rebellious group that,
a rebellion that was quelled.
Right, it's like you never...
Did you feed it in combat?
I figured like any country never warships the fact that...
The enemies, right.
Yeah, I mean like England has...
The pandemic civil war.
England has, you know, burns the guy forks every year,
but it's like setting fire to him.
It's not worshiping him.
It's just a really weird thing. And I also read that somewhat related to that, that six flags theme
park in Texas and Georgia will no longer fly the six flags like they used to, that they're just
going to fly the American flag. So the one flag? The rebel flag, six American flags.
The flag, six American flags. So that's why six the name six flags that originated in Texas is to commemorate the six different
governing bodies of that govern Texas. Okay, so Spain, Mexico, Confederacy, United States, Texas, France, France
and since it's too because
What normally people associate as the Confederate flag is what we call the stars and bars.
The dukes of hazard for lack of a better term.
That's that flag you see in there.
But that's actually not the Confederate flag.
The Confederate flag looks actually entirely different.
That is the Confederate battle flag.
That's a flag that was flown indirectly
in battle against the United States of America.
Yes.
And also it's like there is a lot of people
who think that taking down of statues
one of the big arguments is, well, there are still six flags.
They're all in my right flags.
But, you know, there are people that talk about the US history, like getting rid of US history,
which I think is an interesting distinction to make.
They're like, you can't erase the US history, but the U and US does stand for something.
It does stand for United, the United States of America.
And specifically, the Confederacy was the confederated States of America. It was trying to be a different thing.
It wasn't trying to be part of US history. Right. And then there's also I think a major difference
between celebrating parts of your history and recording them. It's like that's I think what
what people are having an issue with is that putting these statues up celebrates this point in history. also the fact that you're trying to tell a ten-minute confession you didn't exist.
Yeah, these aren't either they're not super old statues that were erected immediately after
the Civil War. These are also statues that have a lot of weight to them because they were erected
during the height of like Jim Crow laws as almost as a sign of oppression or a reminder for
preserve the southern, you know,
so what do they get on some level? I get it because a lot of people
grew up in that as well, you know, but we did fight a war over this.
You know, we did. So it's it's like, you know, when you lose wars,
you tend to lose control over what gets to be.
I always say that the the winners write history, right? I guess so, but it's like,
in this case, I mean, history is still written, but it's just like, what are we choosing
to celebrate Memorial Island?
The president of UT, he sent out an email
and like right after he sent out that email
was when they actually took him down
or it might have been like, he timed it perfectly
to where they were taking them down
as he sent out the email,
but he called out the fact that they were put up
and like during the Jim Crow laws
and kind of as a way to celebrate,
like, hey, we have Southern Pride,
even though all this, you all this stuff is happening with people
having rights and stuff like that.
But they're putting them in museums, though,
which from what I gathered, that seemed like a pretty good
compromise.
And I've been tweeting about it because I tweeted at them
and it was like, hey, can you take these down?
And a lot of people were getting pissed off and stuff like that.
But it seemed like everybody that was mad
about it, they were fine with them putting them in museums
because it's still like acknowledging that,
but it's not.
Is that what they do?
They just give them to museums.
Yeah, so there's, you know, people pull them down
and they're smashed on the ground.
Yeah.
Well, they're relocating three of them
and there are people that were actually
a part of the Confederacy.
And then the other one, Hogg, he was the son
of a Brigadier General in the Confederacy,
but he was like the first, he was like a Texas governor.
I think that's, we have a number of locations.
We've talked about Hog, Auditorium,
where I saw Pulp Fiction and TSTV was in the basement
of Hog, Auditorium, there's also a Hog Hall.
Hog is, there's his name's on a lot of buildings.
Yeah, I think there's a street as well here in Austin.
Yeah.
His wife's name?
I'm a hog. I'm a hog. This here in Austin. Yep. Is wife's name? I'm a hog.
This is daughter.
This daughter?
Okay, just funny name in the family lineage.
So yeah.
Yes, and I don't want to dwell on this like statue
and protest stuff too long,
but there is something else that I felt like I wanted
to bring up.
Do you think that all these people who went
to this initial protest in Charlottesville?
Do you think they're learning why KKK used to wear hoods?
Yeah, they are.
They get docks, yeah.
It's like they're all suffering from, you know,
rightfully so I think, suffering from having participated
in this protest, you know, having to move
or losing their jobs and then complaining about it
and not realizing why and not realizing
that they're in the wrong over this.
Yeah, that was such a weird clip of this guy
who was obviously gonna get the shit kicked out of him.
So he ran off and pulled off all his race stuff.
Yeah, and then he's like someone on filming him,
confronts him.
He's like, oh, so you're not white supremacist now?
And he's like, he's like asking me like,
oh, so why'd you take your stuff?
I was like, do you support all this? He's like, ah, like asking me like, also, why'd you take your stuff? I was like, do you support
all this? He's like, ah, barely. I mean, it's fun to say
white power, but that's about it. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, he's like, just get a rise out of people. And then I
mean, that's the personification of the Pepe kids on the
internet. They think they're, they think they're actually
don't have any consequence or anything like that. But then
the moment there's like a real world confrontation, that
kid flip, it was also amazing how at the beginning of the video,
he's so frightened, like potentially for his life,
he's like, Al-Breath and freaking out.
And as soon as he feels remotely safe,
he's like straight back to being like,
yeah, whatever, like disappeared into the fucking crowd.
Like is he had a shirt off?
It was so, it was so weird.
And he's so young and I'm so confused by so many people. I don't get it. I think it is very confusing. Let me see this though, too
It's like you know in the Charlottesville thing the word Nazi now has become big
Jewish not to not to not see and there are people who were part or are part of the
Nazi party in America that were at this thing
But they keep showing this one guy with the one flag
over and over and over again. This one guy who's got it admittedly, if I was in a march and
do show no scene, he had a Nazi flag and be like, what the fuck, what are you doing? What
are you doing? What is this? You know, which I mean, I can honestly enemy of the U.S.
the Nazis. No one's going to argue that, right?
tons of Hitler statues.
tons of Hitler statues. But you know, you can make this, I think we talked about this last time, but you can make
this easy to see.
It's like the battle flag was flown against, you know, forces, the US Army forces in battle
on the battlefield.
So was the Nazi flag was flown against US forces on the battlefield.
It's like, if you, if those people's grandparents or grandkids were flying the ISIS flag 30 years from now,
it'd be weird.
That would be really fucking weird.
But what if 30 years from now,
they're flying the fucking ISIS flag or something like that?
It's just like, I mean, that's the progression, right?
It's just a matter of time before,
I couldn't imagine anybody in the 50s was like,
I'm not flying the flag as I'm upset with the government.
It's just the way it's like fashion, right?
It falls out of style and it comes back.
Lord, dude, good Lord.
There was a guy who was in the protest
and he was wearing a hat.
He was like on the pro Nazi side and he was wearing a hat.
I think he was like,
I wanna say 82nd airborne.
And then some guy was like,
I was like, my grandpa was in the 82nd airborne.
They fought against the Nazis.
What the fuck are you doing?
Like Jackass.
Is really fine.
That shit's crazy.
And non-Nazi-related news.
I'll give it up.
I fucked up my elbow somehow on Friday.
Yeah, I heard about this.
I was going on.
I don't know what was going on.
I don't know, like at one o'clock in the afternoon or so,
I was like, oh man, my elbow kind of hurts.
Then like at four o'clock in the afternoon,
I couldn't move my left arm.
Then like by six, my elbow was swollen to like the size of a grapefruit.
It was like, did you knock it?
I was in too much pain.
Too bad, you couldn't have.
No.
Hold up your two elbows.
Let's see him.
Because it's still a little discolored and actually a little bit big.
How did you not get a picture?
That's the fucked up one.
Yeah, we know.
Yeah, I should have.
I don't know.
I guess I was just like kind of freaked out. I was in a lot of pain.
So I had to go to the emergency room.
And I remember they were like, all right, well,
let's roll your sleeve up.
Let's take a look at it.
And I did that and all the nurses in the doctor go,
whoa.
Oh, really?
Shit.
They were like, oh, yeah, there's definitely
something going on there.
So what was it?
It's cult, versitis.
It's like everyone has little sacks in your joints that
like cushioned the cult,
bursa. And one of mine just became super inflamed.
So no reason, no reason. They said normally you hit your elbow on something or
if you like rub it on a desk a lot, it's funny, but it'll happen.
But I think I did a guess injury. So weird. And so then they gave me some
medicine. They injected me with this medicine. Listen, I can anti-inflammatory and pain killer.
They started feeling better.
And then they were like, okay, we're gonna get some needles
and we're gonna try to see if we're gonna extract
the fluid from your asshole.
There's no fluid, that's a drainage.
They tried.
What kind of fluid is that?
I don't know.
Like is it the lubricating bit?
Well, there wasn't much of it.
So they get like lidocaine.
Enough to fill up the whole thing.
They inject my elbow with lidocaine.
And then I could see the doctors,
like pinching the elbow skin and just like,
jabbing a needle in there, like trying to extract it.
Looks like a fucking turkey baster.
Ah!
And he's like, I'm not hurting you, am I?
But I have to lidocaine.
I was like, I can't feel that at all.
He's like, fuck it's jamming in the mouth.
Yeah, get in there.
Yeah.
He's like, are you okay with this?
I was like, yeah, I guess.. You're like, yeah, get in there, yeah. He's like, are you okay with this? I was like, yeah, I guess.
And he really didn't get much out,
but yeah, it was super weird than I can't believe you did.
You were probably hoping it was just gonna like fall off.
You always take pictures of your gross, like airwax and shit.
The thing that made me a little uncomfortable was
before the doctor started like trying to extract
all the fluid.
He was like, he was outlining how safe it was
and how I didn't have to worry.
And I in my mind, I'm like, I wouldn't have worried.
I feel like you're over explaining it now.
He's like, don't worry, this is gonna be sterile,
this is gonna be sterile.
We're gonna do it this way.
I was like, oh yeah, that's it.
That's my way.
I'm not worried.
He goes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then when we're done, we'll give you some
really strong antibiotics to make sure you don't get mercy.
I was like, what, why would you say that? They're like now I'm worried
So then yes, so now I'm taking some some really strong antibiotics
So I can't fucking drink this time drinking this stupid tea and so here. I'll give you think we extend your elbows for fun
It pops
Some time sometime yeah, I can do this one I can do I'll do it right now. Yeah
Oh It goes further now I can do I'll do it right now. Yeah. Oh, I didn't do it. Oh, what's the dead one? You should do that with your thing.
It goes further now.
But the the the doctor who also did that, he was he only he talked about video games and
anime the entire time.
I was like, you know who you were.
No, no idea.
He's like, what games do you play?
He's like, uh, I told him.
He's like, oh, yeah, right now I'm playing this.
I'm playing this. Oh, you asked him what games. No, he asked me. What's he, what's he, what's he, he's on my Atari logo? What was he playing? Uh, what was he playing? I don't remember.
Hey, Tari Trace. Sam. Yeah, he just, yeah, I had to take my shirt off because of all of that.
Because I have to do like that with the call it, uh, Basset Traceon. Bedadine?
Bedadine. Was it like the orange iodine looking stuff? Bedadine, right? Bedadine. Yeah, that's it.
To put it everywhere. I didn't want to get on my shirt. Uh right? Bet a dime, yeah. Is that it? Yeah, it is.
That's what it looks like.
That's not my photo, but that's what it looks like.
Nice checkered look here, guys.
It looks like that dude's arm has a heel.
Yeah.
What was he playing?
I don't remember what he was playing.
He told me.
Zelda.
He was playing Battlefield.
That was it.
Battlefield.
Battlefield.
Uh, Xbox.
I ran into Gus before the podcast and he was in the bathroom,
and was like, ah, pre-podcast dump huh?
He's like, no, this fucking, uh,
antibiotics will let me shit.
I'm sorry, I'm not exactly what I said.
I said they're making it difficult.
It's gotta be the worst.
Terrible, impressive, Gus.
No.
It's he wasn't, you didn't have burst cytosine brosus.
Yeah, very good.
That was good.
Well, of course I was convinced that first one might elbow started hurting like I knew like it was a different pain
So like I tweeted like yeah pretty sure I got elbow cancer
Even early on is like this this doesn't feel right like something feels fucking weird
So moral the story if you feel fucking weird go to the doctor. There's like do they have sacks burning you took pretty meds
You should know this hmm. What are those little lumps underneath? What? What happens if you happen to mistaken those for like a zit
and you really tried to squeeze them in pop them
and they just didn't do that?
Is that good for you?
I wouldn't say it's good for you
but I don't think it's gonna do any like long-term damage.
I'm not a doctor, I wonder why no?
Isn't that how you get lymphoma?
Like this one's a lot of like a zit.
That's a lot of the same letters.
I'm gonna say yes.
Yeah. Not Hodgkin. That happened to be this weekend where I found like this Like this is a lot like a zip that's a lot of the same letters. I'm gonna say yes
Non-Hodgkin that happened to be this weekend where I found like this like thing that was like kind of
Lumpy and I was like, oh you got plans to live like I find it. It's like these are the main if you're glands of swollen You'll find it here. My the swelling's gone. Yeah, it's not there anymore
Yeah, the doctor also checked my armpit for my lymph nodes when he saw my elbow. What what are your bodies that came?
What's system is that I can't find it what system is the lymph nodes?
Yeah, it is the like the cardiovascular lymphatic
system tickle myself
lymphatic system, okay
Let me see I'll look it up here. I'm pretty curious. I think it is the lymphatic system. You're right
I feel like we don't know enough about our own bodies. We're like crazy. It's crazy
Like we still all nutritional information is conflicting every five minutes to change what if you had to guess
How many bones you had and you didn't know?
206 oh wow
I'm so gonna guess if you had to be like what how many bones have how would you come any of the apps?
Yeah, I probably come up with 50 or 60.
Cause you can't, I mean, you'd be like,
that's the on bone.
Yeah, one bone, I wouldn't think there's two in there.
You wouldn't think how many you have in your fucking hands.
Yeah.
Couple in the A hole.
Well, you got like three per finger.
And you know, you've got,
you know what I'd say if you have 50.
You know my favorite and you click is,
is where you like snap the finger down and like pop.
Oh, I love that one.
This is a real circle up here.
Yeah.
What got you into popping your fingernails,
or your fingers?
Cause like, I remember seeing an action movie
where a guy popped his knuckles
and I was like, I wanna be able to do that,
but I can't and then I looked up on the internet.
How do you pop your knuckles and you're like,
well, you just gotta practice it
and you gotta pull it out and I was like,
I'm gonna do that and now like, I don't know if it's gonna work now of course gonna get blue balls.
I had one. Little baby one. Yeah but now I can like do it.
Meg can do this thing. I can't do it to myself. She does the thing when she grabs my
bottom thumb knuckle and just pushes in it and it goes and my thumb gets a little under.
It's the best one ever and I wish I could do it to myself. Eventually your thumb will be as big as
your other fingers fingers There you go
So now you just you can never break up the Meg because she's she won't be able to deliver that
I'm the by the way the same way with Ashley. I'll just be sitting there and I'll just do this
I'll just hold my hand out to her like we'll be somewhere and she just like goes and like pops everything
Yeah, and every joint she goes through them all pop pop pop pop pop pop and I give her my other hand
Do you have a do you ever get rubs professional rubs? Yeah, I just I just recently got a professional rub in Mexico
Professional rubs. Yeah, I just I just recently got a professional rub in Mexico. Yeah
I go up to a lot of the same thing be like hey my fingers are really like fucked up Can you pull them and she thinks I'm trying to get her to pull my fingers so I can fart?
Well, I'm sure because I fart a lot
Smart person why would we all know you blame as well? We've been dating for long enough that I farted
Do you literally ask? Do you ask her the way you just ask me? We've always hated it.
I kinda realize that she knows I know what she's thinking.
So yeah, I can sometimes giggle.
I never fart on her intentionally.
So wait, how long?
I don't have a fart.
I don't find in front of Meg.
What?
Well, sometimes I've fought myself awake.
And there's nothing I can do about that.
She looks like me.
I'll be, she has a studio apartment in San Francisco and I'll be in the bathroom and I'll
fart it out here in the other room.
Go.
Ha.
Damn it.
Yeah, I don't like to suggest to anyone that I thought.
No, no, especially.
Definitely.
Yeah, it's probably my favorite quote of myself in the podcast was everybody fart, but
not everybody loves you.
So, so you can definitely fart in front of someone that you're in a relationship with.
All right.
I got a good advice.
I got to talk to Meg too, because I was on a set.
Don't talk to Meg for this YouTube thing that I did.
This where I got to get a fight with a witch for the scene.
And she was like 68 yearyear-old stunt lady.
She was awesome.
But I got up out of the two or three takes
of wrestling with her on the ground
and I was like, oh, my hand kinda hurts a little bit.
And then I was like, yeah, like my,
this little joint here at the base of my thumb,
not the thumb joint here,
like down here, the thing that like wiggles
and connects to your hand.
That was a little bit of sore.
Pond, me.
I'm not kidding. Soar for like seven fucking months. It's something to it.
I got to do like a fracture. One day I could like got it to where I could like, if I pushed
it back this way, it would really hurt. I was where I got like a little stress fracture
or something in there. And then if, but I finally got to the point like seven months later
where it was like squeeze it and I got to pop that knuckle. It was the loudest like solid
pop. Then it felt good off.? Gosh, that's so good.
Yeah.
So good to finally get that thing to like move again.
So I was nuts.
I have to go to the doctor,
but I'm embarrassed about how long I've had a problem.
Like embarrassing boy?
My, my hip, this right hip, has hurt for about 20 years.
So what the fuck?
But now it's way too long.
I'll be like, oh my hip kinda hurts. And they'd be like, how long is it hurt? 20 years. I can the fuck do you do? But now it's way too long. I'll be like, I'm a hip kind of hurts.
And they'd be like, how long is it hurt?
20 years.
I can't just go in and say that.
It's like 65% of my life.
Just like build up to it.
Like go for like other little things.
Like, you know what?
My hip's been hurting a little bit.
Just pretend like it's a thing that you've always dealt with
and somebody else looked at it and like wrote it off.
But you're kind of like.
I can do the best pops on this hip.
Like, if I've been asleep a bit,
I can't do it now, it has to be in the morning.
If I've been asleep longer than eight hours,
I can always like get up and I stretch my like,
outwards and it goes,
and it echoes in my joints and I'm like,
oh, yeah.
Okay, here's what you do.
Film that and then take it to the doctor.
There you go.
And I can't do on this one and it hurts less after I've done that.
When you feel like you got it cold,
or if I've been asleep for a long time,
I can barely stand before I've done that.
That's insane what you just described.
And if I run for, I'm sorry.
If I run for like an hour and a half,
my hip will be an agony.
What you don't?
No, I do sometimes on a treadmill.
I got a bike, not doing the treadmill,
not running anymore. I'm doing bikes now.
Is that better for you?
I just, the running and the pounding is just like,. I'm doing bikes now. Is that better for you?
I just the running and the pounding
is just like, it gets me after a while.
It's not great on you.
Yeah.
I do running on tracks because they have like
buoyant grounds.
Yeah, you see like a sprinting person.
Just do like a really fast mile.
Okay.
Half a
fall. It wasn't as fast anymore.
I used to be able to do like a 610,
but now I'm like back to like 640, which isn't great.
What do my buddies do to know if we first be plays with Caleb?
He was on the amazing wrist with me, his name is Kurt.
He, he, I'm working for memory here, but it was fucking ridiculous.
He was posting his sprint workouts and he was doing, he would sprint a lap of the track,
a quarter mile,
and he was doing like 40 seconds, 45 seconds to just run. And then he would take a break
and then run it again, 45 seconds. So he basically was like, had like a three,
sub three, 20 mile, but obviously not in a row. You know what I mean? He was just doing
these sprints like that because of, you know, ultimate frisbee. I've seen in the games when when it's nuts the frisbee gets up in the air and people just hall ass and somehow know where the
Frisbee is gonna go like go takes a trajectory like this and floats down
But they're like run at a full tilt sprint for like 60 yards. Do you think that dog's love watching that sport?
So into it. It's like your uncle and Gahl for your grand plan.
Gahl, he'd say, nobody else in the house understands
why the fuck he's watching it, but the dog's like, leave it on.
Yeah, let me read this here.
I just want to say thanks to Maltesers for sponsoring this episode

Why not?
Here you go.
Call out.
God damn.
I love this.
Oh, off the rim.
You're wasting good motises.
God.
Alright, get us a countdown clock goddamn
But if this ends and nobody's sunk it, it's gonna be so embarrassing. I thought it's gonna be so easy. Did you practice it at all? No?
Oh my god, this is too uncoordinated fuckers keep going
Blaine, thank you Lord for that
Give me the rest of bucket get out of here. We touched all of them. I wouldn't well Keep going Blaine, thank you Lord for that
Give me the rest of that bucket get out of here. We touched all of them. I wouldn't well All right, I guess the ones that are in the bucket now have been in people's hands all right go check out
Multi-Sers and eat them don't do what we did and then maybe practice your basketball
Are you speaking really good at just in case you might need it at some point?
I thought beer pong skills would translate well, but they didn't.
Did you play that?
Did you, I was gonna say, did you play when you were younger?
I felt like that's something that came popular after us.
This is the old man portion of the podcast.
You played that dinner for Love, you and movie came out.
What was that one, Cole?
Is it a, can't hardly wait?
Yeah, there we go.
I went 10 and 0 and a beer pong tournament
and won it with my friend.
Don't even know what it is.
Don't even know how it works.
We fucking killed it.
I know there's line up of cups and you throw thing in and that kind of, if it like, if it spins, you and won it with my friend. Don't even know what it is. Don't even know how it works. We fucking killed it.
I know there's a line up of cups and you throw thing in and
that kind of, if it like, if it spins, you can pull it out
or something.
You can flick it out or you can blow it out.
But I remember being in my dorm room and I would be, I'd have my
studies, I'd have my books and stuff like that in my
classroom.
I'd have a solo cup and I have a bunch of ping pongs and I'd go
and I'd go, but you're being know, and then I'd go back to studying
and then every now and then I would just like dunk it.
I was so fucking good.
I'm not just saying that stuff and move.
Find the gods, I was great.
I'm just thinking, man, that's gash.
This doesn't look fun and I don't want to be anyone
who's on this in the same thing.
It goes, it's gross to drink it.
It took the world by storm now.
You know, it was a big part of, I believe,
the Blue Mountain State Kickstarter,
they had custom beer pong tables
for a certain level of donation.
I seem to recall that.
Speaking of Kickstarter and movies, go ahead.
Super Troopers 2 finally has a really state.
It's pretty crazy.
We really haven't talked about that.
We helped them launch that Kickstarter campaign
or Indiegogo campaign
A long time ago a long time ago and I was like right after we just finished laser team Yeah, I remember you handed the belt over or something like that. Yeah, cuz they beat us to they beat us
It was April 2015
That we did that April 25 went to LA and the movies coming out in 2018. Yeah, April 2018
Yeah, almost three years to the day. Oh my gosh
It fun down April 25 2015 and we comes out on for 2020 2018 The movies coming out in 2018. April 2018? Yeah, almost three years to the day. My gosh.
It fun, Dylan, April 25, 2015,
and then we comes out on for 2018.
I'm super fucking stoked because I love the first one so much.
But classic.
Man, I thought Dumb and Dumber too was gonna be good
and it just did not hit well.
I feel like sometimes they might get separated
from like what was the core,
what made it funny originally.
So, I'm sure you can always have a misstep, why not?
I mean, that's possible, but have faith.
They're funny dudes.
They are, and they've made some other funny movies too.
Like, beer fest, I think is fucking fun.
I think I'm like beer fest more than I like super troopers.
Yeah, let me see that.
I think I like super troopers more.
Beer fest is good though.
So I feel like super troopers has some kind of goofy stuff
in the plot, like let's save the orphanage kind of
from the style stuff that the plot. Like, let's save the orphanage kind of stuff.
That beer fest also has, but beer fest delivers it more deliberately.
I feel like it doesn't feel like an actual plot device.
Like when he drinks his way out of the beer, it's great.
There's some guys like, when a guy's brother, he dies and the brother shows up,
identical and even better at drinking than he is.
And he's listed to avoid confusion, just call me by his name.
Right, fucking brilliant.
Get out of your beer.
Fuck off.
Yeah, so SuperTuberTuberT I look at that. 2018, man.
I can't help it.
Can you believe it has been less than a year since the election?
It's just crazy to think about that.
Those are good.
These years just dragged out.
Yeah.
People thought 2016 was a slow year.
I mean, seriously,
if it slows down time like this,
I'm going to vote for like Alex Jones in the next election.
Just like make time last
longer. What was the what was the balance say Alex Jones please? I have no I don't even think most
will get that right unless you watch like public access TV in Austin the late 90s. Where he started
you will not get that you say but he was up in Seattle not too long ago and a guy poured coffee all
over him. Did you see all that coverage? Yeah yeah yeah, yeah, I saw some of that stuff. I was showing them just literally just don't pay attention. Yeah. Yeah. There was a
threshold last week tonight segment about him a couple of weeks ago and about
all the nutritional supplements that he sells. How do you identify the years when
you think back to them? Name a year and then I'll tell you 2016. If you had to
sum it up with light. Yes. Yeah.
To me, it's like everyone died in 2016.
2015.
I think of the ice bucket challenge.
Was that a Y?
Was that a Y?
Wasn't it?
Yeah, I guess so.
2014.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I was 20.
We were definitely here at stage five.
So it was either 14 or 15.
That was 20.
I think that was 20.
Early 2016.
The ice bucket was 2016.
You want to hear, according to Rolling Stone. 10. Oh, what the fuck? Can you please let up Alex Jones
us thinking about the frogs being gay and we'll come to that we'll cut to that in a second.
There's a there's a song or remake somebody did of Alex Jones turned the frogs gay,
whatever turned the frogs. Hey, so these are 10 what the fuck moments from Alex Jones
is custody trial with his ex wife a so he was in court.
And there's some really interesting things.
If you're, it was interesting to see how the persona
kind of sheds away when you're in court.
And it's like, the thing is you're accused of being
and then you're like, oh, it's all a character,
but it's not presented like a character.
You know, like that kind of thing.
One of my favorite, you'll say,
Jones got sued by a yogurt company mid trial.
These are just the headlines.
Kelly Jones accused her ex-husband
of molding their son into a conspiracy theorist.
Jones blamed a memory failure on a large bowl of chili.
I read that one.
So the on the witness did,
his ex-watch lawyers had him read
from a deposition transcript
in which he claimed he could not remember
the names of his children's teachers
or the details of their schoolwork
because he ate too much chili.
We've all been there. Come on.
In the transcom, Newman asked a new minute, I guess is a lawyer, asked Jones if chili affected his memory.
And he said, big old bull and chili. Sure does. Yeah.
So like he was too full. Oh, like the chili was too delicious for new memory. I don't know. No. Yeah.
On the, during the trial, he claimed these slept with 150 women as a teenager. And then Kelly,
Jones's lawyers accused Alex of paying office, paying off
therapists and closing arguments. Kelly Jones, lawyer Robert Hoffman told
the court that Jones had manipulated 27 therapists involved in the case to take
his side. Well, that's an accusation that it's only been was proven with God so wild.
Just crazy wild stuff.
Do you have Alex Jones saying the frogs?
Okay. Do we have that?
They're much for real.
We look to say anybody that doesn't know who Alex Jones is.
He's the guy that's from Info Wars.
It's like the crazy conspiracy through.
I'm a man.
Like by now, you would know who that is.
I like me.
Do you ever wish that you had that big of a lunatic?
Every moment is it every moment?
It must be fun to be like.
You can be, it's a character.
Uh-huh, it's my name, my name.
I can do the character because I feel like we bugging people.
He always seems so upset.
Oh God, I know, he's great at it.
He's really great at it.
Terrible.
Don't watch it, don't watch it.
No, look at the frog.
The frogs are gay.
Let me see.
I mean, carrots is based on yourself.
I can see the appeal and do it and being like a lunatic.
Like, if I was about to hit a midlife crisis,
I'd probably go all out if I was a personality
and people listened to me.
I just like sort of extend lunacy
although that usually involves spending money
on ridiculous things like yachts and boats and stuff.
Yeah, and I'm cleaning a school,
killing was a fake and other people were actors,
fucking idiot. Can I give, what, oh, here it is. Do you have it? Do you have it?
Is it the Alex Jones remix? It's not funny. I'm gonna say real slow for you. Game. Frog.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It is, it's so good. I love that guy so much.
He's such a looted thick, man.
He's entertaining though.
He's entertaining.
So can I give my crazy conspiracy theory?
Yes, so look, it's a conspiracy theory.
Cousin of Steppto, from formerly of Microsoft.
Really?
Oh yeah, you didn't know that?
No.
Yeah, it's a cousin.
No.
Yeah?
Yeah, he writes a, a steptoe writes about him every now and then.
On a, on Twitter and stuff.
I thought maybe more of a Steve Ballmer cousin.
Okay. Yeah, he's got that fiery passion.
The Alex Jones is speech about being a man and wanting to have babies and like,
this is real. It's like one of the best things on the internet.
It's so fired up. It's so great.
Do you think, because we're a theory, do you think that the US Navy is under attack by merchant vessels?
Dude, I heard about this theory. Did you hear about the GPS thing?
I've heard about some of that. Well, you think there's like terrorist boats ramming them and they're just calling it accidents?
No, that
foreign nations are hijacking boat navigation systems. Oh, Jesus. Like we've got a government mind here, buddy
I can think of one that's particularly interesting South China Sea right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah Russia
China dude
I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that.
I'm not going to be able to do that.
I'm not going to be able to do that.
I'm not going to be able to do that.
I'm not going to be able to do that.
I'm not going to be able to do that.
I'm not going to be able to do that.
I'm not going to be able to do that.
I'm not going to be able to do that.
I'm not going to be able to do that.
I'm not going to be able to do that.
I'm not going to be able to do that. I feel like you never hear about something like that.
Like how does a fucking US warship get hit
by a merchant vessel?
You would see it coming, right?
And they just announced, I guess,
like who they were claiming was that fault
for the last collision and they got relieved
of their command and then this happened
almost immediately afterwards.
Can they dodge that stuff?
Like if they see a ship coming,
is it just like they'll just look at each other
and say, well, damn it, they're gonna crash into us
and we can't avoid it.
It's a little fucking huge.
Yeah, like, can we, what do they do that?
I think destroyers are supposed to be fairly agile.
I've seen some like crazy maneuverability tests
that they do where they're pretty quick.
And you see the boat coming from so far.
Like, I think the big freighter, like oil tankers
and big freighters, like they can't move very quickly.
So it's up to the warships to...
That's a big fucking dent, that's right around them.
Yeah, I know.
John McCain.
Yeah, John McCain.
Name for John McCain's dad, right?
Yeah, fucking Jackasses are like,
oh, that's what we get.
Politicians like nuts.
No, it's dad, he done us.
Which by the way, his dad was,
I forget the rank that he was, when John McCain was daddy, don't ask. Which by the way, his dad was, I forget the rank that he was,
when John McCain was captured,
and John McCain would not leave the camp,
leave his compatriots, he wouldn't leave the camp
or be used in a way that they knew
because he was the son of this high ranking officer.
He's always stayed in that camp for,
I think like, was it broken arms or something?
Oh, fuck them up. Yeah.
Yeah, completely fucked up. I should know more about the story than I do, but I remember
when he was running for presidents, it's like really crazy story with that guy went through.
In arms and shoulders.
Just basically just to hold on to honor. I mean, really, it was really incredible.
I also read about another accident that John McCain had been, it was his fault, but he was
there for it. Like, he was involved in a fire on an aircraft carrier.
And we just passed the 50th anniversary of it
a couple of weeks ago during the Vietnam War.
And it was just this crazy set of bad decisions
and circumstances that led to an aircraft
on the deck of an aircraft carrier got jostled.
One of its missiles went off, hit another plane.
And that aircraft carrier had just taken on some old
ordinance that they weren't supposed to be using, that everyone thought was a bad idea.
And that old ordinance caught fire, sat in the fire for a while,
exploded, killed all the firefighters on the aircraft carrier.
Nobody else knew how to fight the fire.
And then the, the fires kept spreading to these old bombs that were all over the aircraft
carrier. So they didn't even move. So they didn't move. They were all over these old bombs that were all over the air care.
The worst thing about it.
So they didn't blow up.
Shucking bombs off the side just they didn't blow up.
Yeah, it was.
It sounds like what happens if like James Bond attacks a base.
And yeah, and when the initial missile went off and hit the plane, John McCain was in
the plane next to the one that got hit.
And he said he saw the fire and you know, got out of his plane as quickly as he could to
get away from it.
It's like that's, that sounds like a fucking guy.
Did they have a jet to seat, said?
He probably did, but I mean, he's like on the ocean,
like I don't know if you have enough altitude
for that to work.
Yeah, do they actually propel,
if you use that on the ground,
does it propel you with enough height to survive?
Going to gold, no.
Gold, no.
Well, that was a helicopter.
True.
Anyways, the USS Forest all fired.
If anybody wants to look it up,
it was really fascinating to read.
I think I saw a post about it. I'm lost gonna talk about that. I'm not gonna talk about that. I'm not gonna talk about that. I'm not gonna talk about that. I'm not gonna talk about that.
I'm not gonna talk about that.
I'm not gonna talk about that.
I'm not gonna talk about that.
I'm not gonna talk about that.
I'm not gonna talk about that.
I'm not gonna talk about that.
I'm not gonna talk about that.
I'm not gonna talk about that.
I'm not gonna talk about that.
I'm not gonna talk about that.
I'm not gonna talk about that.
I'm not gonna talk about that.
I'm not gonna talk about that.
I'm not gonna talk about that.
I'm not gonna talk about that.
I'm not gonna talk about that.
I'm not gonna talk about that.
I'm not gonna talk about that.
I'm not gonna talk about that.
I'm not gonna talk about that. I'm not gonna talk about that. I'm not gonna talk about that. I'm not gonna talk about that. I'm not gonna talk about that. and sums up like this and people like, oh, he's deformed like, yeah, cause he fucking fought for your country, dude. No shit, yeah.
He, I mean, he didn't take an opportunity
to leave Hannah Hilton when they gave him a chance to do it.
Did you have anything in the news that was,
I was kind of fascinated by it.
So lost you with Joel Silver that's going on right now.
No, this is fucking fascinating.
Joel Silver, the famous producer of...
Die hard.
Matrix also, right?
Client, that was a good one, right?
I pop shit all the time, just random.
Matrix is well-correct.
Jill Silver, his company Silver Pictures
and its employee Martin Herald,
if I'm pronouncing that correctly.
He've all been named in a lawsuit regarding
the death of Silver's former personal assistant,
and not gonna pronounce her name properly, Carmel Musgrove.
The suit filed by Musgroves, the state and parents
is suing all three parties for wrongful death.
Musgrove was found dead at the age of 28
on a beach and board board
during your star-studded trip to the island hotspot in 2015.
In the suit filed Friday in Los Angeles,
it's a very important attorney Brian Watkins laid out
the events that led up to Musgrove's death.
The recording, the setting Watkins wrote,
she herald the silver-related guests, along with
a large entourage of movie stars in the family members stayed at the four seasons hotel
by occupying over 40 bungalows as part of the Jennifer Anderson and Justin Thoreau,
well, honey moon cell members.
I don't even know, Jennifer Anderson was married.
The filing then alleges that herald provided Carmel with cocaine and possibly others.
Sometimes you know August 4th,
the day Carmel arrived on the island and August 19th.
It talked about the causes of death.
I said I read somewhere.
Suits sites of French investigation
that found her death was a result of five factors.
Overconsumption about call,
Consumption of cocaine, fatigue caused by overwork,
heat stroke after the fishing trip earlier the day,
and then a midnight swim
that she took in unfavorable weather conditions.
It seemed like the last one was the one that I'm gonna go there.
Yeah, apparently.
And it starts at the first four factors are traceable
to the conduct involving the defendants.
That's fucking crazy.
But, you know, not a lawyer, right?
You know, maybe I'm being defensive
because I put my assistant through a weird shit.
You know, not like this, but,
she, if this person is 28 years old,
it just sounds like, I don't know,
unless, I don't know how you can sue somebody over that.
Like, I don't know if there's other circumstances
that maybe we're not aware of.
Right, unless, you know, maybe,
the only thing she was coerced into doing these things,
just that it overworked.
Well, like, overworked is, I mean, you know,
it tripped to Bora Bora is like, I would take that trip.
If someone said, hey, you have to go to Bora Bora for a week.
I'd be like, okay, you gotta do a bunch of cocaine though.
If she's a ranging travel though and is stressing about a bunch of shit,
that's not what you're talking about.
I'm not saying travel's not stressful, but it is one of those things.
It's like, it's kind of a stress we accept when we do it, right?
Isn't it?
Just saying cut to Ellie right now.
She's doing cocaine, drinking beer.
She's out in the sun.
Yeah, like target the eclipse,
waiting for Bernie's to get off the podcast to call her.
Yeah, I mean, I was like, I'm worried because, you know,
Ellie's like sharpening swords and Ellen Blacksmith
and all of this stuff.
She's not going for a swim in a lagoon somewhere, you know,
to mean or something like that.
But it's just, it's interesting to me
the lawsuit was filed over a 20 year old person dying
in what seems like a scenario where you could potentially
die if you're partying and swimming and stuff like that.
Well, you can, you can file a suit for just about anything.
It is true, I guess you can, right?
I guess you can.
Yeah, let me read this last thing here.
I don't want to be insensitive.
No, no, no, yeah.
And there may also be stuff we don't we're not fully aware of.
It sucks.
It sucks when anybody dies, especially somebody so young at 28.
But it's a surprise has lost you over to me.

time for the last time today for four years? I'm just going to play a recorded sound there. I think so.
Is it new? Because the bells are... They're having to do repairs and I guess it's dangerous for
the workers to be inside. Four years. Yeah, so... Can you just rebuild the workers to be inside four years. Yeah, so
Build the whole fucking thing in four years. You know the trouble They went to to get the bell up there. They like took it all up there
Wait in the past and it cracked and they're like god and they have to get it all the way back down
Prepare the bell. I'll make a new bell. They go the way back up there and it cracked again
And they just left it everything you described two days
Definitely see the size of the bell
Did they get the bell halfway up the tower and then call it a day and then come back the next day and pull it up the rest
What year do you think they move the bell up there? I don't know
The all of the things they can do it today they can rebuild the whole fucking tower
You're a fucking years gosh. Here's something you don't understand. I can learn to repel
Prepare bells for four years all of that shit the story of that all of that stuff
Long time museum so damn old like, Buckingham Palace needs like millions
in renovations because it's such an old building.
How old?
Just really bloody old.
150 years.
What?
Yeah, right?
How old can it possibly be?
It's all like classic shit.
Like it was built in 1859.
1859 shit.
You tell me getting shit at the top of building technology
has not progressed in all that time.
Bernie, I'm almost there.
Almost in drool.
Okay, so you walk into Big Ben.
Here I am.
Okay, let me get in this situation.
I'm a big Ben.
All right.
Big Ben is the bell.
You walk up there and you think, yeah, we'll get this done in a week.
Well, there was a repair in all the clock faces and stuff, right?
We'll do that shit.
You can reveal the whole thing in my face.
It's actually called Elizabeth Tower.
Yeah.
I also had since Stephen's Tower, maybe that's a good thing.
What do we do with Big Beth?
Can we call it Big Beth from now?
The change in the name.
The bell's name is Big Ben.
It's what you do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
People just call the building Big Ben.
Oh, that's fucking sexist.
I don't know.
It's like when you say you could fight any animal.
It's like, go up there and look at the damn size of everything up there.
They can rebuild the building. They can tie any little, like it's the you could fight any animal. It's like go up there and look at the damn size of everything up there.
They can rebuild that and go.
They can tie any little, like it's the size of the tower.
Look up, look up right now.
How long did it take from the build the Burj Khalifa?
Oh, look it up.
But I've read this article about the repair big Ben.
It's been operating for over 150 years, right?
They've done all this shit.
They say that now, once these repairs are done, the building will be sound and secure
for the next 60 years or so.
Why can't we only make it good for 60 years?
Can you afford to work?
Right.
Make sure of the bell in comparison to a person.
I'm curious to see how it weighs 15 tons.
I'll look it up in a bit.
Oh, do you know, do you want to know about Burj Khalifa?
Yeah, how long have you taken to build it?
I think they'll silence the Twitter account.
Biggest building in the world.
You know, the tweet, the Twitter account, this just says, bong, bong, bong, every hour.
Oh, that's true.
I think they'll silence that.
No, that person loves that Twitter account.
They're happy with their Twitter account.
It took 1,325 days, which is just under four years.
Yeah.
All right, Bill, Bill the whole fucking thing,
they're repairing a bell in the amount of time
it took Dubai to build the burjklee.
But you've also got to preserve the surroundings.
They don't building it from scratch.
I'm sure they could whip up another one much faster than save the building and get the bell done.
Good.
Here's why I'm angry.
Here's why I'm angry.
Because we won't take four years.
I live in a part of town in Austin that is right by a road,
major road in this town that has been under construction now for about two decades.
Yes. How long has MoPak been under construction?
It's just forever. It's non-stop.
Gus, I go to other cities, I get on a highway that's got five lanes.
The highway's five lanes, it's always five lanes.
You can't drive in Austin and knock into a part of our freeways that are going on to one lane.
It's just like, just do it all the fucking time.
Do you realize that I-35 between this and the local bitching part of our freeways that are going on to one lane. It's just like, dude, all the fucking time. Do you realize that I 35 between this
and the local bitching part of the podcast?
I 35 between Austin and that's nothing.
I could put a strap on that bell and walk
and down the stairs.
That's nothing.
It's as big as a dude between Austin
and Samarcus.
It's been under construction for 25 years.
What's that?
I 35 between Austin and Samarcus.
That's been under construction for like 25 years, right?
Orange and white barriers are everywhere in this town
and I just don't see them other places.
I'm sure they exist, but it's they're everywhere in Austin.
It's a constant picture of us because you live in Austin.
Of course you're gonna make that up.
I also spend a lot of time in Los Angeles.
I don't off, I don't go down what's this back up for 45 miles.
Oh, they took I-10 down to one lane or something like that
Never see it. I'm sure it happens. I never fucking see it. I see it every fucking day in Austin every single day one
What's the new well-trained Senate building code
Spirit every entire kid took like 11 years to build it. Well, that was that was
That was terrible. It was terrible the whole thing was terrible
Yeah, well first of all I think it took three years to clear the site.
Yeah.
Because it was a criminal investigation as well.
And then they could decide what they were going to do.
Actually, look at the construction.
It didn't take 11 years to build it.
Yeah.
It took like, from, oh, for to recently, didn't it?
I don't think so.
I'm looking.
I'm looking so.
Patrick's telling me that a new additions to Moe Pack started in 94.
In when?
94.
94. Like, wait, Ace Ventura. In when? 94. 94.
Like wait, Ace Ventura, pet detective was,
I wonder what are they doing?
I see these crews working,
they go down one side of the freeway,
they tear it up and they repave it.
Then they go down the other side of the freeway,
they tear it up and repave it.
Nothing about the freeway fucking changes.
You said you want all construction to be done.
Eight years to build a freedom tower.
Eight years to build the freedom tower.
Okay, fine.
There you go.
But I used to say you want everything to be, you could repair two bells. Gavin, in the amount of time that it took to build the freedom tower. Eight years to build a freedom tower. Okay, fine. There you go. But are you saying you want everything to be-
You could repair two bells.
Gavin, in the amount of time that it took to build a freedom tower.
It's like, you're like, man, I've been living my life
and there's always stuff under construction.
I will hope it ends soon.
It will never end.
Everything will always be under construction forever.
Only lots and no.
No, everywhere.
Nothing will ever be finished.
Cause that's not how the world works.
No one's ever like, I'm with done. Yeah, nothing will ever be finished. That's not how the world works. No, it's never like I'm
with done. Yeah, yes, no, that's not how like they have to be. It's also like airport construction.
Every airport's always under construction. There is a fucking door in the awesome airport.
It's the, you know, the door I'm talking about, the sliding doors. Yeah. They they box them off
eight months ago to fix the door. It's still boxed off to this day.
And no one can answer why it's like eight months ago.
How long has that been under construction?
The one in the American Airlines?
Yes.
It's been like three months.
It's been a long time.
No, it's been a long time.
It's been a bit.
Lunatic, three months.
That's why it takes your country four years to fix a fucking bell, because you can't
keep track of time.
That door has been under construction at least eight or nine months.
A door, it's a doorway.
It's a doorway.
No.
I mean, the opening already just runs through it.
You know what it is?
They don't want you to use a door
because the fucking AC in the summer.
So they're delaying it until the end of the summer.
I guarantee it.
Well, let's do that.
They always have two sets.
And they open one door and then the other one,
the diagonal.
How many times have you ever invented
an airport in anywhere else in the US,
where one of the major entrances is just doesn't exist.
Like it's boxed off.
One time, oh.
Shitty and terrible and everything.
Is that even one time?
Of course, that's gonna be a broken door.
I see construction all the time.
All the time in our airport,
I don't see it, I go to other airports a lot.
I don't run into construction constantly in other airports.
I run into it constantly in our own.
It's at every airport.
It's question.
Name, where am I running into construction?
I mean just traffic and LAX LAX LAX
I'm a constructor forever. Yeah, there would be like
You're also talking about Austin Airport. It's the airport you go through the most
So of course you're gonna see these problems more often than I don't like JFK
I don't see them and oh my god
Because you know go to JFK every week. I guess
But I see it every time I go to Austin but I see it every time I go to Austin.
Because I should see it every time I go to JAPK.
Don't wait until every time week.
Because every trip of yours starts or ends and off.
Yeah, you can't fly anywhere without going to Austin Airport.
Every time I go through Austin, I see it.
But that's because that's what you're talking about.
Every time I go through Austin, for like the last five years, it's under construction.
Isn't it weird that you never see construction at Jamaica apple
I don't come make it
I
Always see here and I never see it here
Unbelievable what are you talking about I have to go somewhere? I don't fucking do a loop around the state
Lane back to the same side of your airport. I go somewhere else isn't it with that you only vacuum your flow
I'm saying that to your airport. I go somewhere else.
Isn't it weird that you only vacuum your floor?
You're idiot.
I lay into another place.
And there would be construction in the other place.
At least once.
That's all I'm saying.
I never see it anywhere.
From now on, you're driving to a different airport first.
You can't fly from us anymore.
You're gonna drive to Houston.
And you're analogy, I'm getting in my car
and driving around my garage,
and then stopping and getting out,
and going, I only see my garage
Idiot go fix your bell
I'm right now, let's let's wrap this up. Thanks. I'm ready for watching the potion. Oh, yeah, piss my pet. We'll see you guys next time
What an escalation. Look how they got him off guard. I'm going to be a little bit more careful. Do you like apples?
