I'm Barbara. I'm Gus. I'm Gavin. I'm're here I'm Gus I'm Gavin I'm Chris I'm

Barbara I'm Gus I'm Gavin I'm Chris I'm Barbara I'm Gus I'm I'm we we were jamming out introducing ourselves before the podcast started with a Chris but go as really lazy and guess hated it we're also banging the table another thing Guss hates yeah classic classic Rift's Chief Podcast. Hey. I had, I speak of Classic Rift's Chief Podcast. I got a message the other day on Instagram from someone. I'm going to read it.

For I got a message, it's from someone named John. He wrote, hello, listening to Animo today, listen to Animo, go to smutworkhouse.com. Listening to Animo today and decided to reach out to see if it would work. A quick guitar riff I wrote years ago used on RT podcast 127 and you gave me a shout out plus a badge on the old version of the website. That was my first accomplishment as a museum and I as a musician. As a musician and I think back to that constantly with my current band success. It started with a badge. Ha ha thank you. I hope you're having a good week. It's like that's crazy. Yeah then he is a musician now. That's like all he posts on Instagram. So we're to thank for it is what I'm

doing. Yes. We are owed 10% of all your money. And how how how back away was that that was in 2011 was podcast 127 I don't know what happened there Chris happened I looked I haven't I started playing the podcast But then I didn't I wanted to see what the intro was I haven't listened to it. Yeah, I'm gonna play it right now Yeah, this is his one this podcast 127 intro I hit play and it's not playing. Thank you, technology. I had it cute up, but there. Oh. Very guitar heavy.

Good. Gavin. Chris. Barrett. Gavin. All the time it was probably got spurny. Yeah, Matt. I don't know who was on this episode. That's crazy

That first of all I didn't realize it'd been 11 years ago. That's so long. That belongs in a museum Where it is a museum I can't tell what what date in the musician. Oh, I don't remember. I just saw 2011 on it That's how back away at us. Yeah, so back away. So back away. August 17th, 2011. Oh, no, that's not right. August 17, 2011? Yeah. I mean, I was looking at the cast and the cast that was listed here as wrong. Oh.

There's no way that that was correct. So. Gotcha. If I just remember my note, say I sabotaged a tree, right? What? Then it falls down. What? Christmas tree? Sabotage a tree, right? What? Then it falls down. What? Christmas tree?

Sabotage a tree. Big tall tree, big massive tree. What's a sabotage? I just like start sort of half-chopping it down. Ah. Cutting it? Yeah. Chainsaw, maybe make a little divot.

And I just leave it. And then it crushes someone who kills them, right? Uh-huh. Am I to blame? Yes. I'm to blame. But legally... Would? Am I to blame? Yeah. I'm to blame. But legally, would you get charged with murder? Right.

I don't think so. I don't think you get charged with murder. But I think there would be a criminal charge of some kind. See, my thinking was if someone stole me doing it that week, I would definitely get done in. But if I did it like 20 years ago, would they still come for me? No. So right, how long? Yeah, how

does it work? I think it does it over a long period of time. It does apply like a more direct example would be I believe there was a politician in the 80s who had an assassination attempt and was shot and survived it but then multiple years later eventually died as like a long-term side-effect of having this bullet hit him so the person who shot him was then charged with murder. Oh wow. So it's crazy. Right so stuff happening down the road can still be charged. But like people cut into stuff all the time and then if it's like a while later. time and then if it's like a while later. Well, I think it, I don't. Intent might matter in that case.

You know, are you laying a trap? Or like, are you doing it over someone's house with the intent that it'll eventually fall over and. Yeah, like if I spill a bunch of oil on the floor and then like, for some reason, no one goes in that room for years and then someone comes in and slips on the floor. And then like, for some reason, no one goes in that room for years. And then someone comes in and slips on the oil, bangs their head on the floor and dies. Like, am I gonna get charged with murder?

Ranslaughter. I think I'm gonna manslaughter. I think it's like whether or not or a woman slaughter. You are aware of what you're like malicious or or kind of criminal negligence. Yeah, or you knew that it was harmful and you're and you did it anyway. Yeah. I was just wanting to when it would time out like fifth like a 50-year tree cut. Surely I could be like, wow, that

just came down on its own. Yeah, I think 50-50 years, you're definitely in the clear. Well, that point is far right. But there is a amount of time where I'm in the clear, right? Yeah. Where are you cutting this tree? Like, where's the tree? Yeah, yeah. Is it like in a crowded area or some house? It's in a nice big field where people often picnic. I don't think you would be responsible because you have no control over the matter. Like you don't know when that tree's going to fall over.

But I have no control when I cut them out. Yeah. Yeah, but. You don't make it happen. Yeah, but just because you're changing the environment or changing the structure of something doesn't necessarily mean you have control of when or who it falls on. If it falls on someone, it's just like, he's helping it to fall. Yeah, it would be like if Gavin went up to my car and loosened all of the lug nuts holding the tires on.

He's like, I didn't remove the tire. It was like, yeah, but you're and then he also specific to a person. Sorry, I'm like, spin on you. What do we do to a rental car then? Oh, yeah, that's really. Well, that would totally check all the lug nuts before you think they really check that every time a car is run to. Damn, we should we should study law at some point for this podcast.

That sounds like a lot of work. Yeah, all I know is I don't be anywhere near tree and Gavin. I think someone in childy with Samuel Albrose said like Gavin just very panicked remembered that he started fucking with a tree like 20 years ago. Yeah. And someday someone's gonna walk past that tree. Yeah, I don't think I've ever left a half cut down tree to my knowledge. Did, uh, did Meg tell you what happened at TwitchCon this weekend? She tweeted about it, but I was at TwitchCon over the weekend to do something with State Farm,

which was very fun, but it was myself, Jake from State Farm, Cypher PK, and another streamer named Rex, and we were there to film a video of us playing like this claw game that they had on the show floor like the kind that grabs a Dolls or this one was like it would you would grab a ball and then you would try to get it in like a hole that they had For like different points, okay, so it was more about like picking up a thing moving it dropping it in to get points got it And it was like for a video so like there was a big crowd of people around watching it happen and like

Cameras were on us. We were mic'd up. We were filming this whole thing and I guess Jake from state farm had like security with him because he's you know A well-known guy's familiar. They want to make sure that he's like yeah secure and whatnot Mm-hmm. And we're filming this video, but like me and Cypher PK were kind of stood a little bit back and then Jake and Rex were like up on the platform playing the game And so it looked kind of casual and her and Fouya Megan Fouya came over to like say hi because they had just like arrived at the booth Yeah, and May came up and she's like burbs and she like went up to like go say hi to me like to tap me on the shoulder Yeah Jake security guard like fucking Ambush her and just like almost fucking took her out and he was was like, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

and I was like, no, that's my friend, that's okay, that's okay. But like, and she was like, no, we know each other. And he was like, no, no, no, no, no, like this huge guy. Oh, man. Like, he still didn't let her say. Yeah. And I was just like, no, it's okay, like don't worry. And he apologized later, but I was like, hey, you're good.

He doesn't know. He's doing his job. he's doing your job. He's doing his job. But it was so funny. That almost happened to Jack at RTX. For who? With me. He came up behind me when I was doing a signing

and my security guy didn't know. I was like, it was like, it was literally the exact same situation you just described happened to Jack at all. I like to think though that you waited a bit before you said, oh, I know him. No, what? Yeah, we're still waiting. 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, 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, security detailed took someone out, they would say,

like a good neighbor! And then just to tackle them. Oh. It was a very fun time though. And then we did a couple escape rooms that night. Me, Megan, Fulia, and you were very fun. I asked Meg like what was her favorite part of that stuff?

I did a escape room with Bob, and I was like, okay, so you went, oh, it's the San Diego time out with Bob. And do a scaper room there. That is one of the funnier thing. I'm like, there's so many people at TwitchCon who like, I've been playing games with for, especially like the last two years during the pandemic,

like a lot of them on gas and stuff like that. A lot of streamers that I got to meet. But yeah, I just ended up spending the entire day with Megan Fouya, who like, Meg lives here and I see all the time and then Fouya, I don't get to see very often, but we had a great time. Fouya has been cracking me up in SBI this season. And Meltdown, yeah, and so my blog got me meltdown. So funny.

Yeah, this most recent episode, like the way that it proceeded and ended, just like the focus on her was great. It's been really funny watching her. I love how she just, something about the way she always makes sounds. Something that like that, you're not really too, and it's just like such, she doesn't such a comical way too. When she overheard the, what the, the team asks,

has two cheeks come, conversation. She just like crouching, going back and forth in the woods. The way she like turns her little mind-craft characters head slowly towards the camera and she realizes something. She cracks me up. I so good. The only thing I got out of TwitchCon, and this is from Reddit, for the record, you did not go to TwitchCon. No, I didn't go. I didn't go. I'm saying, I wasn't paying attention. And then I started to read it.

I was like, Twitch streamer breaks her back on a foam ball pit. Foam pit, yeah. Foam pit, what happened? You didn't hear about this. So TwitchCon had a little foam pit that had, I didn't see the whole video, but you know those little platforms

where you try to knock the other person off. That's what they were there for? I'm pretty sure. To knock people off. And I guess this girl had won the competition and she was celebrating. So she raises her hands in the air and jumps, but first into the foam pit. But there's only one layer of foam cubes. And so she hits her tailbone super hard.

She broke her back. Oh my God. And she's also a sex tailbone super, she broke her back. Oh my God. And she's also a sex worker as well, this woman. And so there's clearly been a lot of jokes about her blowing out her back and things of that nature. And also Chris is very familiar with this personal idea. Well, I mean, Barbara was talking about it once. And I was just like, yeah, I was reading.

And then I was looking at the red comments. I was just making really rude comments. And then I clicked on an article that had a picture and I was like, I recognize. Okay, I'm honored. Yeah. She was accepted. It was an article. I don't know.

This is a crash. You can. Accepting a word for best oral scene. Oh. And so I was like, I recognize her now. Yeah. I didn't recognize her when I read just like, like her name, her name, but then image spurred some memories.

She broke her back in two places. Two places. Yeah, so, like a friend. She's getting surgery to put a meter rod in her back for support. The video doesn't even, like, it looks like she lands, like, on her butt and like, that she's in pain, but you can't like she tries to get up at one point Oh my god. Yeah, it's a no no a video of it happening to It's worse when you know what happened the context and there's apparently another another streamer

I think who injured I think like his his leg in the same foam pit It's gonna get a deep phone. Yeah, yeah, I think they intend for you to get knocked off and like not land at one point. You know, they probably think your whole body is gonna hit it and distribute the force. The problem is, I'm sorry I watched that. Oh, that was so painful. The problem with foam pits is people

have been all the foam pits I've been in, were deep. Or like multi layers of foam. Yeah, that's what it means. It wasn't like, wow, it was like. It wasn't a foam crinkle. It wasn't a foam crinkle. It like multi layers of phones. Yeah, that's what it means. It wasn't like, it wasn't a floor with a phone sprinkled over. It wasn't a phone together phone pit. I don't think, throwing together phone pits should be a thing.

But there's also a lot of references people are making of like, which is the worst pit, the phone pit at TwitchCon or the ball pit at DashCon. Whoa. Like the battle of the pits. Man. One has a lot of piss in it. The other one will break your fucking back. Oh my God.

I've really hurt my back once on my own couch. I have a water bottle and I guess I just jammed it down between some cushions in my couch and I just forgot it was there. From just ground level, I just flopped back but landed on the bottle and I was just like, and I was like, it's so much pain for like an hour. Based on just like maybe a two inch full. Kind of imagine like taking the whole thing on my tailbone. At least you're on the couch too. Yeah.

Well I was just a few months ago and I had that tailbone injury. Oh yeah. Which I took a, Chris was very kind. He gave me his little like seat cushion for my chair for the week. Yeah, that was like all tailbone. And that wasn't even that bad.

And it still hurt me for like weeks. Yeah, I, yeah all tailbone. And that wasn't even that bad, and it still hurt me for like weeks. Yeah, I'm, yeah, I wouldn't remember a couple years ago. I missed a step and I fractured my foot. It was like one step, I had to wear a fucking boot for like six or eight weeks. Where we'll get in Britain. Yeah, like I have myself in, does it do? I like slipped over on, I was trying to push

jam through the set. Yeah. And because I'm just smaller, I pushed it, but just slid away from him, and I just slipped over and smashed my hip bone. I'm really sad. And because I'm just smaller, I pushed it but just slid away from him and I just slipped over and smashed my hip bone. I'm probably broken one bone. Also, I have to do with pornography, but I called this story before. You broke your crossbone.

No, I'm going to give a TLDR because I've told it. I know I've told it. It was in high school and I lived out in the country where we had like dial up internet and then me and my friend were We're like, oh, we're gonna clean out the attic and let me get our hangout spot for the you know and It was just like the separated attic from the house We find all these boxes of his dad's like old playboys and we're like oh Let's take him downstairs like I'm a you know and so I was carrying more than I should, and I slipped down the attic steps and just landed on my foot and porn went everywhere.

Porn went everywhere. And then my friends were like, what do you do? I was like, no, I really hurt my foot. Like stop playing it up. Pick up the pole. And I had to crawl back into the, I like crawled back into the living room because they eventually like left me

because they thought I was messing around. They carried like dragged the box with me. So many porn related injuries on this podcast. No porn looked behind. Yeah. I can't believe people would be, I don't know, I feel fucked up after watching that video. I can't believe anyone would be making fun of't know, I feel fucked up after watching that video. I can't believe anyone would be making fun of her.

I'm really fucked up. I think it's like, she really hurt herself. And like a lot of people are making very, like everyone wants to be a comedian on Twitter, especially like always wants to make a joke about situations and stuff like that. And I'm like, this poor girl. I feel like it's just fine,

but there's always like a nice amount of buffer time before you start really so I'm gonna I'm not intending It was yeah, it was just like I was like man, I just can't imagine cuz you with your back like that that's everything Yeah, you're just like you just kind of lay so could she move? Was she like this process kind of like? Riding around a little bit, but she yeah, she could, and it's the worst part of that video,

which you didn't know because you had it on mute, I assume. Oh, gosh. Is there a, no, is he a announcer who like, is trying so hard to play this off? The person on the microphone is just like, oh, she's, don't worry, she's fine, everyone. I guess so, she just lives there now, you know? Like just, like just essentially trying to make jokes

and like assumes that she's fine and like, it's just. Oh, panic, filoettes. Yeah. But I mean, sometimes just shut up. Sometimes you don't, you don't have to say anything. Yeah, someone's health and safety more important than entertaining a crowd. Very.

Five minutes. Yeah. Yeah, it was a. We hope you've learned your lesson, Chris. Wait, what I do I've always been really scared about like jumping into something that's not very deep like you see stories of people who dived into the sea, but like rise the tide went out so that they just yeah neck snap the ground. Yeah I saw oh I saw a terrible video. Is this gonna be the depressing podcast? I should not talk about this? We'll talk about something happy right after. I saw a really depressing video. I

wanted to forget where it was. It was a bunch of people had climbed over a fence to get close to a coastline. They were standing on some rocks and waves were coming hitting the rocks. I guess they wanted photos. And it was one of those things where they turned their back to the water to have photos taken then like the waves hit each other just right made a huge wave hit all of them and then dragged them into the water. Oh what? And it was like you know very sharp looking rocks that you're just watching people get scraped over and pulled into like this really rough water you're like oh no I just like I think I just I was just like I was scrolling through red it and it was like people hit, oh no. I just thought. I think I was just like, I was scrolling through Reddit

and it was like, people hit by Rogue Wave and I watched it and I was like, I just watched those people die. Like, I can't imagine getting out of that. Like, it looked so rough and bad. I was like, I was just like clicking on videos. Like, I didn't want to watch that. There's a subreddit. Is there a subreddit called like, watch people die?

I don't know. I think that subreddit's gone. There's a subreddit. Is it a subreddit called like watch people die? I think that subreddit's gone. I think they banned that one. I do think rope swing videos are funny. When people do rope swings but don't know like. When to let go or how to hold themselves or leverage their body. They just go up.

They swing off and then just face plant. As long as they're not like interested, seriously injured, it's really funny. Yeah. There always needs to be a warning if people potentially died before you watch it. Because even if you don't see someone die, it's always disturbing to watch a video of someone die.

Like, or get so hurt to the point where you're like, you're questioning it, you're like, oh, that's a, that's not good Yeah, that's that video of the And if it's FedEx it's some like Freight plane taking off and I guess all the cargo slipped back as he pulled up So you just see the plane like suddenly still have to take off just go down and explode It's like Mission Air 102 listen to black box. Yeah, I was about to say we talked about that

Yeah, watching the video just like oh These clearly clearly couldn't survive that. And it's just like, I just wish someone died. Damn it. Yeah, that's a freaky video. Yeah. It's like, yeah. I watched, we talked about that for an hour

and then I watched the video, I think. And I was like, oh, no, full of fuel. That is a massive explosion. Yeah. Yeah, that stuff started to watch. Well, anyway, on happier news. Uh, yeah, happier news. Uh, this morning, uh, they announced it on social media, but our very own Jeff Ramsey and his now fiance, Emily are engaged. Yeah.

Yeah. Jeff and Jeff and Emily. Congrats to them. Yeah. That for some reason, I couldn't book them for the podcast today. I wouldn't. I think they were in, was it May or Michigan? I believe they were in Michigan. Michigan, yeah. Michigan. It's a beautiful place. So happy for them.

Emily is just the most wonderful person. I mean, it's okay. We couldn't record Anma today because they're in Michigan. So I mean, take some, you give some, I mean, whatever. Yeah. That episode of An Anna, you on now. I believe we just released episode 19, which is our 23rd episode. Okay, yeah, makes sense. I don't know.

We have non canonical episodes. Supplemental. Non canonical. Oh, yeah, the ones that guess are on it. It's not canon. But yeah, super happy for them. Yeah, very cool. I literally like gasped.

I didn't know that he was planning to propose on this trip and not just like, I don't know, just made me so happy this morning. Start at the day off. Did you cry? No. It's too early in the morning. All the emotions. I'm more of a late night cryer.

Really? The emotion builds up throughout the day. Yeah, definitely. I don't really, I can't cry very much. Do I feel like sometimes, I feel like I wake up sad, like I had a sad dream, but I don't really remember it. I'll be like, I feel like crying, but I don't know why. Although I do get emotional when I'm tired.

Like we just did a shoot last week where it was very long, it's like 12 hour days for five days. I was, I just went to the set on the fifth day and everyone looks freaking excited. It was very fun but very, very, very, very, that's why we're still in this temporary space because they filmed. That's why we were here last week and that's where you are done. The podcast, you were over there doing that thing. And that's why we're still here because they're still getting everything set up.

And then Eric, who's always like, eh, oh, like he's like, sarcastic, Eric was just sat there just like, just like, dead eye and looking into nothingness. It's because it was five days of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and it was just, it's just exhausting. Oh, and yeah, we, it's fun. Very fun.

But there is something. Yeah, exactly. At that point, when you're not filming you're just off yeah, conserving when you you know so that's Because for a lot of it we had to be in a very hot area. I can't give away I don't think I can give away details of what the shoot was but That also takes a lot of energy out of you to be like sweaty and hot big portion of the day also takes a lot of energy out of you to be like sweaty and hot for a big portion of the day.

But there was a part of it where it was, I think the third day, maybe the fourth day. And we had just done something where the results of it weren't great. And I felt like everyone is being mean to me. No. And I just started crying, not on camera, but when we were like like stop we were not filming

I was like in the little break area and I was just like Getting like really emotional. I was like I was don't like I actually tried really hard Yeah, I just got to real very like quickly, but then like 10 minutes later. I was like oh, just a fucking show That kind of stuff can be just it's just just your stress and it's exhausting and then you're just like, you can take things personally. When you know, it's not, especially like, everyone we work with is pleasant in general and they're not mean, right? Nothing is small. There's not people trying to personally,

if you ever see, I'm saying, look at you, looking at the camera now, if you ever see people being what you might perceive as mean, it's all good and natured, jabbing, not, actually being mean. Well, that actually happened to me on Campertureal too. Spoiler, it's been out for a while, but I was the first person eliminated. And rightfullyfully so because I was a saboteur in that show

The first episode, but when everyone is like attacking you even if it's just for a show if you are tired It becomes personal. Yeah, I didn't it's like I feel like everyone's getting up on me and then I got eliminated And I was like again crying Actually that too because you're you're afterwards like sorry, I mean the Gibson I just like it was it's just fun seeing it, because with this reason, it's coming out of the pandemic, it's just nice seeing everyone in real life. I was the best that I just didn't get to hang out

for the past two years. Like now, I don't get to hang out with everyone. That's what I'm sorry about. That's really like why I was most upset after. I just wanted to be on the show more so I could spend time with people I haven't seen in like a year and a half at this point. You can just go to San Diego and do escape rooms.

There you go. Hey. But it's funny because I hope this is what I think. But Fiona was in town for this particular shoot this week. And she was like comforting me while I was being upset. And she's like, you're such a cancer. And I'm like, I know. I had a blast with Fiona.

The other text me saying that she was, she couldn't stop laughing because of a story that you told. She was just like shitting herself with laughter. Oh, you said, you like, did something or said something during one of the like, sections of the show where we were both like, our team and your team was there for something. And you said something and she could not stop laughing.

She texted me about this and said that she couldn't stop laughing about it. There was an exchange on Twitter where without, where I think Michael posted some photo, no, if you don't have posted a photo of her looking tired or something. And then Michael responded to it, maybe it was Eric, with a photo of her looking tired or something. And then Michael responded to it, maybe it was Eric, with a photo of me and a chef hat looking like oddly just into camera and also tired I guess. Yeah.

But didn't tag me. Yeah. And then there was like a whole other exchange where they were like, I think someone photoshopped me on the Buzz Lightyear. And then. Oh, that's where that came like, I think someone photoshopped me on the Buzz Lightyear. And then, Oh, that's where that came from, okay. Yeah, but then I had no,

and because I'm in Tagnant, I didn't know I did what was happening, but then someone tagged me in a image of like Buzz Lightyear. You know how you can do like animated text messages where images were like, Yeah, it was like, the like, it was my face. That's like, Photoshopped on the Buzz Light Year, like flying, like a 30 of them flying onto a screen,

without any context, I was like, what? And I watched it three times before I realized it was my face. But I was like, I don't know what that is. I don't know why, why am I Buzz Light Year?

Yeah, I love Fifi. I always get to have her here. And yeah, I've got a couple people in to get about the three or four Chung Shua videos that we made. Which is how? Yeah, I love Fifi. Fifi. Always get to have her here. And yeah, I've got a couple people in town for the shoot. Yeah, we had Mando stop in on the podcast last Monday between doing stuff. Which is so funny, because that was one of the shoot days.

And I saw the Twitch alert that's like, oh, the Archie podcast starts now with Gus, Blaine, Blizz and Armando. And I'm like looking in Armando who's standing right next to me, and we're rolling on the thing. Are you supposed to be on the podcast? He's like, yeah, I didn't really think through the schedule here. He came over, he got some ice cream, he yelled at Blizz. It was good.

He worked out. I've been rewatching the Simpsons. I've been talking about this often on for a while. I was watching, if it was yesterday or the day before, I've been rewatching the Simpsons. I've been talking about this often on for a while and I was watching If it was yesterday or the day before I watched the episode where They make Lisa Lionheart, you know the like her version of Malibu Stacy Yep, and I realized that the Simpsons predicted deep fakes Because my god predicted deep fakes. Oh, because. Oh my God. Smithers turns his computer on, and there's that video of Mr. Burns,

like, Topless St. Oh, Smithers, you really know how to turn me on. And I was like, Oh, that's like a deep fake that he made up, Mr. Burns, to play when his computer turns on. Oh, Smithers. That was quite good at turning me on. Yeah, I was like, Oh, it's like a deep fake

from 1997 or whenever that episode came out. Like, what a weird idea. Yeah, that's crazy. The show has been around for it. And then I was watching the episode where the Tamaco episode where they have a farm and I realized I was watching it. The scene where they first introduced Tamaco and Homer selling it at the roadside stand, you know, Lisa's talking to him standing in front of the stand. If you watch Lisa in that scene, you can see that the storyboard version of her is still behind the animated version of her. Because like the animated version of her starts moving and moving her head up and down, but you can still see like a non-moving outline of Lisa behind her.

Yeah, like they didn't remove the layer behind for the blocking. What season of, of some sense, what is that? I think that's 10 or 11. A 10. Wow. Yeah, Tremon and I are also watching Simpsons, but we're, I think still on like season seven or something. Look at her, look at Lisa's outline there.

Okay. Oh. Yeah, like the front of her face is like behind her still. Yeah, it's really weird. I was like, I've seen that episode a ton of times. Yeah, he probably saw an SD. You need to be able to notice that. Do you think they'll patch it out now? I doubt it. I'm sure it's there forever.

It's just so weird that like that made it to air. Who knows how many people have looked at it? Who knows how many millions of people have watched that? Right. Like there wasn't something like behind her on that stand. That could have been. No. And it's very clearly like the spiky outline of her head.

Like her mouth. And her mouth. Yeah. Just not moving behind the moving part of her. How? Really? Anyway, Simpson's on a few or heard of it. It's a great show.

Yeah. I've been off for a little while. Maybe once or twice. Yeah. I I went to eat at a new restaurant the other day on was it Saturday? I heard about this This Chinese restaurant. I guess opened up a couple of months ago. I don't know if you all heard of it. It's called Bamboo House It's not too far from the studio actually. It's up like at Lamar and Airport and I was told that that had really good paking duck. I was like, oh, like paking duck, I could check it out.

But I was also told it's like they get really busy. It's like really popular so show up early. So Saturday, Estonia, we were like, yeah, let's go. They open at 11, like this show up right when they open. And the morning, 11 a.m. Yeah, morning duck. It was like, we'll show up at 11. Really? I'm just trying to beat the crowds.

We should lunch duck, right? Not breakfast. Correct. So we showed up like at, we're like we'll show up at 11 really try to try to beat the crowds We should lunch duck right not correct So we showed up like at we pulled into the parking lot like right out of 11 walked up Well, we're pulling a parking lot at 11 and there was a line. Oh already like going down the street We'll probably shut up then like early. Yes, and I was like, oh shit Cyparky a Franklin. Yeah, well, you know walked over there You know we they got to us like around 11.0.5 or so and we were the last People to get there who got a table? Oh, my goodness.

After us behind us, they were like, yeah, it's an hour long wait for a table. Wow. Do they take reservations or is it you have to walk in? Would you wait the hour if you didn't make it? Well, here's that's a good question because the waiter comes around to our table after we sit down and he's like, Are you all gonna order the duck? I was like, well, yeah, he's like, okay, it's an hour long wait for the duck right now. No. Should be like, can I order it now? Yeah, what? We were sitting at the table.

And I was like, okay. Can we just chill and get some drinks? I was like, yeah. Yeah, we'll try the duck. But that means if everyone ordered the duck. Right, that's why he was out of the way for the people behind us. Everyone sits down and then nobody eats for an hour.

Right, so many. So then, it actually took me so good. It actually took an hour and a half for the duck to come out. Was it worth it though? It was really good. Yeah, okay. Why don't they get there about 9-3? Just duck, cook it some ducks. Right.

I don't know. How long did they do that? I would love to try this place out, probably in a year and a half from now. But what? It's like slightly less powerful. Just show up at 11 and be ready to eat by 12.30. You'll be fine. I mean, that wasn't even an early lunch.

I was just like, it was, it became less, and I felt bad because then like, people would walk up and they'd be like, you know, there'd be, you know, people milling around waiting for a table, whatever. The restaurant was full and people would walk in, be like,

they wanted to get a table for two or four or whatever. And they'd be like, okay, the wait's two hours, right? Oh, no. The wait just becomes instantly so long. Put your name in and then go do other stuff and then come back? I'm sure you could. I don't know. I got to sit down. What, I guess like, do you guys have a threshold in terms of how long you're willing to wait for a table at a restaurant?

Yeah, it totally depends on the restaurant. On like what's around the restaurant? Yeah. Like if we went all the way there and that's all there is, I'd be like, yeah. Kura has a great system. Kura is like a sushi restaurant. I think it's in different cities as well, but one. That's the wheel one. It's like the conveyor belt sushi restaurant. But they now have a wheel.

You have a system where you could put your name, you could like sign in or check in while you're like driving there. And it'll have like a wait time so you have plenty of time. But there's also like a really awesome little shop next door, like a little Japanese. I went there like a week ago. Like a bookstore.

Yeah. And I saw, and I met my first robot, what was it? Oh, the drink robot. The RGA came out. What today? Today, yeah. Of us talking about it, a robot waiter.

Yeah. And how I thought it was the robot that might give the order. Give the order? Yeah, like in the kitchen. These drinks, oh, like the robot would come up and be like, four sprites, please. I imagine it more on the iPad or whatever being like make one. I'm letting on the kind of like come on guys. On the Gordon Ramsay robot. Yeah, but you got to experience it. I did. And I confused the waiter.

Because I was like ordering stuff and I was like talking and out and at some point I referred to like the robot as like a as a like Like a person like oh they they brought it like yeah, or I think I think they were I don't remember what what I said But they got used but I I refer to them as like a person, you know, like, yeah, I wasn't like an it. He or they, I don't remember the pronoun I used. And they were like, what who? I was like, oh, well, you know, the little guy, you know, I don't know if you, he was like, you didn't say like little drink. They should put a name tag on it. Yeah, this one I'm getting out of it. We you. We know that you were being offensive by calling it a robot. Like, it was the good thing.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. The courage here, it doesn't know. Oh, yeah. But yeah, you know, the robot guy. Gordon Ramsay could definitely do his shows in robot form. Like, Gordon Ramsay just shoots shows constantly. I feel like he just does every show ever in every country that he can he could easily send out five

Ramsey box. Yeah, and just make five different episodes at the same time. Don't get you. Yeah, switching between them like the robot just is like this while he's working in other restaurants and it's like It's hard ramsie sitting in a screen Programming them all he could do that he's got five programming them all. He could do that. He could. He could make five times the money at once. Yeah, but if there's something different about having Gordon Ramsay yell at you in your face. Well, you don't know, you haven't been yelled at by the robot.

No, yeah, I can make the robot really loud and intimidate you and give it eyebrows. No, I'm not. He's a real difference. Also, it'd be way scarier to have like an animatronic Gordon Ramsay yell at you, because you're like, oh. There was like slightly in the uncanny valley. Yeah, that'd be scary. Speaking of funny Chris things Chris came into work today and we noticed that he was wearing a new pair of pants. Yeah. And then we noticed that it still had the tag on it. It still has the tag on it. I did that purposely. No, you did.

I did. I swear. Why? Because I wanted to know, I want to ask you what it looked like. Or see how they felt. Chris, we could tell without the tag. So you wanted to. Wait, because you wouldn't want to return them. In case I didn't, yeah, I wanted to return them.

I didn't want to take the tag off. You little kind of person who would wear pants for a whole day and then return them. Obviously, yes, because you still wearing them with the tag. Where are we going? We didn't answer it. tag. I thought you were telling Pantswiss like, oh, that didn't fit. Yeah, you know, gonna spend all day. Well, I was pretty confident in them because I warmed to work, but I was like, let me also though the place you got them from you probably could return them without the tag. Well, yeah, maybe where can you return places without a tag Gavin Well, yeah, maybe. Where can you return places without a tag, Gavin?

There's a couple actually. Bull mom. I was curious to see what he comes up with off the top of his head. I think Target is one of them. I think Amazon is definitely one of them. I don't know. You can return stuff on Amazon without the thing, apparently. Those pants are from Amazon.

Yeah, just put two cans of duct to Pepper in a box and send it back. What? Oh, yeah. No, it happened to him. He bought something. And I drank the Dr. Pepper. Yeah, and you got Dr. Pepper? I bought a Dremel saw of Amazon, and it was someone else's return.

But for the wait, they just put in two cans of Dr. Pepper and taken the drink. Oh my god. That's a good thing too. I got Dr. Pepper. Did good thing. Dr. Pepper. Did you say, Dr. Pepper. Did you,

what did you say when you, I just, I just said it arrived as two cans of Dr. Pepper. And they were like, oh, can you return it? And I was like, you would have said, do you two, Dr. Pepper.

Oh, yeah, we'll just said you and you. Surprise they didn't ask for a photo of two cans of Dr. Pepper. Yeah, I didn't have to do anything really apart from just say it was Dr. Pepper. I, because they have to believe you, because why would you say that?

That's just a random thing to do. It's just a random excuse. That, so I've told you guys a story about when I ordered a mouse and keyboard from Razor and received a box of the mouse that had nothing in it. It was just an empty box. And they're like, send a photo for proof. And I was like, of an empty, like, of empty box and they're like send a photo for proof and I was like of an empty like of empty box. Yeah, the

same fucking thing happened to me the other week. I ordered um, have you guys heard of like athletic greens? It's like a green powder that like put in a drink like, oh yeah, I'm not that one specifically, but I've I've had that and I put in smoothies. Oh, did I tell you? Or like off maybe different brands of it. Green powder. Yeah. Green, you got the ball, but none of the stuff. Yeah, I opened the box and it had two sections. One for where the package of the greens was in a water bottle and I opened it.

It was just a water bottle and a pamphlet. And I was like, send the greens. And so they're going to send it again. But I didn't message them again until way late. Maybe a month after this happened to be like, hey, by the way, I never got the thing. It was just a box with a water bottle. And they were really nice about it.

They're like, oh, well, resend to you a new package like right away. Should be getting it soon. And I was like, okay, so. So weird when that happens. But again, it's like, it asks you to include a photo whenever you submit a ticket for something like this. Yeah. Yeah. You should take like a screenshot from Jurassic Park and be like, there asked you to include a photo whenever you submit a ticket for something like this. It's like, yeah.

You should take like a screenshot from Jurassic Park and be like, there was nothing to take a photo of. So, here's a T-Rex in Jurassic Park. I had to make an Amazon return the other day. It was like on Thursday or Friday, for it when it was. Anyway, I ordered something off Amazon and I got it and it was like, oh, this is the wrong thing. Like this is what I ordered the wrong thing. Yeah. It was on me. Yeah. So I go through the return process and it was like seven or eight p.m. So the UPS store was closed. I couldn't go drop it off. I wanted to get rid of it right away. I said, I'm gonna go to the UPS store. The UPS store is already closed. That's

not one of the options was return it to Whole Foods. I was like, oh, I'm gonna run down to Whole Foods. You know, maybe, you know, why'm going to run down to Whole Foods. Maybe I might not get rid of this, get it out of my house. Yeah. So, all right, Whole Foods, the one at like 5th and the Mar. Like, yeah, sure, why not. I'll go out, get a little drive in, drove down to the Whole Foods. I've never done a return there. So, I've got like this Amazon package and I walk in, I go to the customer service desk, walk up to the customer service desk and there's like a little bit of a line some waiting and I'm waiting and eventually I get up to talk to the employee and then

employees like oh is this an Amazon return? I was like yeah she was oh we don't do these at this desk anymore. If you turn around and go you know in that direction you'll see there's a kiosk it's got a green line on top of it just you know do the return there's like oh okay that's convenient. So a little annoyed a way to line there's no signs for this like no instructions anywhere it's like, whatever, not a big deal. Turn around, go get in line. And there's like, there's like three people, three or four people in line. And the person at the kiosk has like several large Amazon boxes with lots of items in it. And she's like doing returns for one item at a time. Like you go up to the kiosk, it,

you know, you scan your code, it tells you to put your stuff in a plastic bag, attach a label to it, and you dump it in the kiosk. It's like one of those FedEx or UPS top-off boxes. So she's doing this. And in between her printing out the labels and everything, she'll let people go through and use the machine for their returns because she's having to arrange everything. So everyone's slowly going through the process and she's still there. She has so many things to return. And you know finally I'm like the

next person in line and you know she's printed out her label. She's getting here things back up. She's like go ahead if you need to make your return. I'm like all right thanks. I walk up and right as soon as I walk up to the machine light goes from green to red and it says this machine is full no longer accepting returns. Please go to the customer service desk. Oh my God. The one that you did. The one that I was just at.

And I'm like, this is b- Oh, okay. It's like, all right, well, it's has to go to the customer service desk. So I turn around and I go back to the customer service desk. There's no line at the desk this time, though. And it's the same woman who I've talked to before. And I'm like, hey, the machine, the light turned red.

And it says, I can't accept any more returns. It says to come over here. She was, yeah, I can't help you. Oh, what? What? And I was like, yeah, but it said to come here. She was, yeah, I can't scan the returns anymore. We can't do anything. What? And I was like, I guess I'll come back tomorrow and she goes, okay. I was like, oh, okay. So I had to go home. That's bullshit. I couldn't change the return because we have a UPS store here right next to the studio I couldn't change my return to the UPS store Why was it was it because it was already I'd already said I'm going to Whole Foods So I had to wait and go back to home. Can you at least leave it there?

No Oh my god It was almost a annoying thing Do you want me to do some shopping at Whole Foods? No I'm just going to grocery store there I just left. I just wanted to go leave it somewhere. Like if I don't want to leave it on my doorstep, someone would take it or like something would happen. I spit on my mic. I just wanted to go drop it off somewhere. Yeah, no, I mean, I'm doing some return

training. I was going to spread out all the office. I didn't hear what you were saying. I said, I'm doing some return training. I would go and spread out all their office. I didn't hear a single thing. I said, I'm doing some returns right now. I got them spread out all over the office. Because it sounded like I was just doing it. I'm a bit of a fan of it. But I'm like, I try and-

Like how all of us didn't come here. I was like, am I just not hearing you? Usually I'm out first, because yeah, I'm from a different country and I listen to funny. Anyway, everyone was like am I just not hearing you usually I'm out first because yeah, I'm from a different country and I listen funny I do it everyone I got in some returns bad office, but like I don't like being that person who walks up and is like oh wait I don't have it ready so I like prep yeah prep everything so I'm like okay I'm gonna here's this and I've got this labeled so I can go

And so that's why I'm like prepping it yeah, yeah getting it set. Yeah. That's who you're gonna be behind. Next time you go to return something, it'll be Chris with his like 80 boxes. Well, but no, but no more. And then he's gonna have to take his pants off. I'm gonna have to keep my, sorry, I need to return the, you should keep them. I think I am.

Yeah. Yeah. I take a picture of you with the tag on it, just for the podcast, and if you wanted any photo evidence, but it's just so funny. Have you ever put stuff out for like bulk collection, or they have those days where? Yes.

I've done that before here. Is that a real thing? Because all that happens when I put stuff out for bulk collection is just random people come and take it. Oh, yeah. That's even better because then they're just like, I get used out of it. Yeah, I just feel like it's dangerous. Direct to consumer recycling. Yeah.

Cause one of the things I put out was a car door with a broken window and a guy just came and took it. No, why not? But I was like, that's, he just lifted it up and I was like, it's full of broken glass. Like it, should I warm him up like all the, I knew. I knew it.

That broke my ass. What if you had cut it halfway? What do you mean cut it halfway? What do you mean? And then he was crushed and like the trick. Oh, oh, oh, oh, sorry. I was like, oh, Chris, circle on that way. Yeah, I just, I always thought when you put stuff out that it's like the garbage pickup.

It's like the city comes around and takes out what it is. That's what my favorite helps came. But you get, you get notice. Free couch. It was like, what are you talking about? Yeah, I thought you guys put out was a broken TV and just two guys came up I was like I bet because you get notices that like oh this is your day for all the big trash Yeah, so they probably know this neighborhood has people are throwing out big things. I'm gonna go drive around at a friend in college who Would wait, you know like there's a in college who would wait, you know, like

there's a time where all is very, you know, we lived in student area and students, you know, who are moving or like say they're in the dorm, they don't have a place to put their stuff or they might have a, they may not be there for the summer. So people would just get rid of like brand new furniture or nearly brand new and he would be like I'm gonna drive around he'd be like Pick it up like all sorts of stuff if you've got a truck you can make some some good money Yeah, he would do it in uh, um, um, um, Zack Anders van I just feel like I should warn them that everything I'm putting out sucks. No, it's on the curb

I think there's the Presumption, yeah, let's get happy if I put up a broken TV, it was a TV with like half the screen was like garbled mess and unwatchable. Yeah. And I think they were just thinking like, oh, it's a TV I didn't want and it was fine and they might use it or try and sell it. But it's like, I think all the skin out for that TV is they're going to have to get rid of it.

So it's not better to be like, don't take in the end. You got rid of it. Yeah, it's them now. I just feel like it needs to be like a sign on it is like this one's, you know, they could be like scavenging it for parts or selling individual components inside of it Like maybe the screen is busted, but the control boards are fine And the yeah, you sell them on eBay like I know I had a problem with one of my TVs where like one of the control boards went out in it And I was like man, I wish I could buy just to replace this replacement component and Replace it myself and ended up having a call to manufacturer. It was all a thing.

I got new TV recently for like a hundred bucks. Oh God, Chris, you're fucking a hundred dollar TV. It was not intentionally this way. To be fair, the TV I put out that was broken, it cost me a hundred bucks. Like I bought it broken. But why? It was a 3D TV that I wanted to film for like a slow mo.

And I bought it in no way. I had a 3D TV. I have a 3D TV that I wanted to film for like a slow mo and I bought it no I have a 3D TV. I have a 3D TV. Why don't you why don't you message me? I didn't. I didn't. What's official about a hundred dollar TV that just because it's cheap. Well, no, so what's with the other? So this was a store. This is like an adventure. Did you get on the wrong plane? No. I saw this TV go on sale for I was like, oh wow, that's a really good deal for a TV. And I've been like wanting to get a new TV because my, I was still as a 1080. You make the jump to 4k.

Well, I had a 4k TV in my, in my bedroom, but not my living room. And I was like, I've been, you know, I was like, well, this is a really good deal. I bought it because it, and it was like, it also came with like a 150 best buy gift card or something. And then I was thinking about it after I bought it. And I was like, man, I really wish I was like, I kind of want a nicer one than this for like my living room.

So I, but I already like picked it up. So I was like, well, I'll just I'll Post because it was a did this sale that it was then like went away So like I'll just post it for the same price I bought it for and then some and I sold it on like Craigslist right for basically what I paid for it, but I was up a hundred and fifty dollar gift card and then I $50 gift card. Oh. Uh, and then I weighed, and then, and the better version of that TV went on sale and I bought

that one. I was like, aha. And then, but I, it was like, during around like RTX and stuff and I was like, super busy. So I wasn't able, I kept like pushing the date of when I could pick it up because I had to like, not pick it up. I had to like borrow a vehicle to pick it up. There was no delivery. No, it was a pick up and store.

And then when I went to go pick it up, that TV had been marked down even more. I guess they were trying to get rid of that model. And so I was like, well, can you, can I pay, like can I pay what it's priced at now? Like a price match. Yeah, price match yourself. And they're like, oh yeah, I guess we could do that I'm like okay cool cuz if not I guess you could just be like I want to return this

Oh actually, no, that's what happened They're like well, I can't do that for some reason But you can we can return to you and then you buy it back immediately. I said okay. Yeah, so did that Um, and so then it got even, because I think they were just like, that point just trying to get rid of all of them. There were no more in stock anywhere at that price. And so I bought it back again,

and it was like, you know, $50 cheaper or $100 cheaper. I don't remember. There's so much work. Well, at this point, I only got two TVs. You know what I buy? It's something that I immediately see at cheaper. That's always a no. Yeah, but that's the thing.

It's like, I bought the one and then I Pick it up and then I was like man I Like didn't quite want it so I just sold you know sold on Craigslist because I didn't honestly I didn't want to take I didn't want to have to borrow a thing and then take it back to best buy so I just put on Craigslist So that someone don't take it. Yeah That was easier and so I wouldn't picked it up after buying it back for myself. I could have at home selling the new one on Craigslist. I'd be like, yeah, it's a best bike.

Here's the email confirmation. So I took it home and like set it up and I saw a thing and I watched it up and it like flicker. It's flickery. Oh, no. Like it'll it'll it was running and then like every 30 seconds, seconds it just have a flicker. I'm like bad HDMI cable. Nope, nope. It was just a because I I tested, you know, trouble shop and I was like this is just a bad TV. So then I had to take it back and be like, hey, they're like this TV's like messed up and they're like, oh, we don't have any more of this type.

But it was not an OLED, but like a QLED or something. Yeah, it's like a Samsung-specific or a marketing word. Marketing word. Yeah, but anyway, I was like, all right, well, whatever you can do, that's this type. You know, basic, you know, the same size of this type. And because they didn't have any more of this type, you know, basic, you know, the cute, same size of this type. And because they didn't have any more of that type, they had to like then upgrade it to a way better one.

And then I took that one home, and I still used all my, just, you know, whatever. And end up, by the end of it, I paid like next to nothing on this TV. And it's a nice, truly beat the system. I was trying. You only had to give up a week of your life. I know. But I was not happy. I wasn't like planning on doing it. And I was actually really upset whenever the TV didn't work.

Yeah. Because I was like, God, I have to go back. When I had more time, yeah. Yeah. And I was like, I would rather if it just worked, but I ended up with a better TV. I put up, I think it was, I recently got it in a different house, but I put one of my TVs up on the wall in my office that used to be in, you move out sometimes and like,

you don't have a place to something, so it's like, I'll stick it there. Don't want to sell it. The second I put it up on the wall, a big line came down the screen, I was like, ah, that's wrecked. That panel is wrecked. It was like the day after I put it up, I just turned it on, I was like, ble That panel is wrecked. It was like the day after I put it up,

I just turned it on and was like, bleep, and I was so mad that I just put it up and I put up myself so I'm like, ah, it's like my own work, it's going up there. I just left it. I just have a broken, a TV. You're, if you're having the mount on the wall, you can just take the mount off the back of the TV

and put it on a different one. I just, I didn't want to deal with it. It was just so annoying. I was like, I could return this probably. But I'm just gonna stare at this blue line. You sound like Bernie putting a TV in a wall. What? At least it means.

It might make sense physics wise. Wait, that was a whole podcast. A whole podcast. A whole podcast. I don't want to talk about that. Okay. Journey essentially. Across how many podcasts is that?

Two years of podcasting. I just thought about what it would take for me with this TV. On my wall mounted and like wired in to get it to the point where I have a new TV in this exact spot. As someone who doesn't have a card, I just thought, I'm just gonna stare at this line. I'm too mad to do anything about it. Two years later, still got a line. Do you watch it, use the TV? Yeah, it's more of like a background TV.

It's not like I sit in my office and stare up like all of this. It's like behind my monitor. So I use it for like, from working on something, then just have something on the background or. It helps you concentrate because it looks bad. Yeah, it looks shitty and I don't want to look at something that doesn't work. Just listen. concentrate because it looks bad. It looks shit, I don't know what it looks like. Yeah, it helps.

Just listen. Um. Do you guys have a bedroom, a TV in your bedrooms? I do not. I do. I do. Yes, three. No, I only have two in your bedroom.

No, I have, I only have, I have one in my bedroom and one in my living room. I, so I, I've met a lot of people who are like, no TVs in the bedroom. Absolutely not. It's for sleeping only. And I'm like, there's something so people who are like, no TV's in the bedroom, absolutely not, it's for sleeping only. And I'm like, there's something so nice though, about like either going to bed and watching a show or a movie or like sleeping in on the Saturday and like watching something with like breakfast or whatever.

And I'm just like, I don't understand the people who are so vehemently against. I get it. I didn't have a TV in my bedroom for like forever, forever. And then someone was like, hey, I don't have a, I just moved, I have a place with Stevie. Do you want to like, keep it, you know, do you want it for a while until I like need it? I'm like, sure. And I put it in my bedroom. I was like, and then I was like, oh, this is nice. It feels like very luxurious. I feel like, like a hotel. Yeah. I don't want to confuse my body about what I'm doing in bed.

If I lay there and watch TV, then like I'm training, almost like training my mind, you can lay here and not be asleep. Yeah. Do you look at your phone and bedroom? No. So like you're in your bedroom, you are sleeping. Time to close eyes and go to sleep.

Wow. Or, that means, that's one. So when you wake up, I use someone who's like, I'm gonna get a stray out of it. You're gonna wake up. I don't believe in the snooze button either.

Oh man. I'm like that, but I feel like I, I feel like I lived so many years in like, Jeff's spare room or Jeff's apartment out the back where everything I had was in one room. Like the TV had to be in the bedroom. Yeah. It's still like I've totally become used to it.

And it doesn't, it doesn't like keep me up right there. I still, I still like predominantly watch stuff in my living room. I watch a lot. You said you had to better TV in your bedroom, Chris. Oh, no, it was actually a worst TV, but in 4K. It was, it was a, the TV I had in my living room was an older one that was really expensive,

but it was an older one, so it was 1080 and 3D. And, and then I eventually bought a 4K TV for my bedroom. And then, but it wasn't like a nice TV. But it was 4K. Yeah, so it was a better TV. So it was a better TV just. You, wow. You were a TV, but not as nice as TV.

Like picture, it wasn't. I mean, it is better. Either way, small, so crisp, but I'm gonna put this to you. A new, say like top gun maverick has just come out on demand, which TV do you go to? I'm watching my living room. I would, and now I have 4K in both. But you would have gone to the 1080p TV.

Yes. Why? Because it's more comfortable and that's like, where I watch TV, where I watch TV. Because it's more comfortable and that's like where I watch TV where I watch TV Something also that I feel like is really nice if me and Trevor want to watch something But it's getting a little late. It's like we'll go get ready for bed and then watch it in bed So it's like that way you could finish it turn it off and like okay, we're already ready for bed We're already here,

like, just go to sleep. Rather than like being in the living room, watch the show, it's already getting late, then have to go get ready for bed and everything like that. I don't know. Just don't brush your teeth. No, you really brush your teeth before. Yeah, yeah. I like fully getting ready for bed, and then like, being in bed on my phone or watching TV or something like that. Rather than Trevor sometimes will do the opposite, we'll like, we'll watch something and then we'll be like falling asleep and he's like, oh, I still have to go get ready for bed. And I'm like, I'm already stuck. I'm ahead of the game. Yeah. But I'm definitely on my phone way too much period, but I want to

stop being on my phone so much, specifically like going to sleep or after waking up. So I've implemented the downtime function on my phone, which basically like puts the apps in like unusable. And you could like select apps that don't get affected by it, but like all social media, basically everything except like the necessities are off limits from like 11 PM to 9 AM. Works well. Yeah. Can you focus?

Yeah, I think that's what they call our like focuses or like down time. This one's called down time, yeah. Yeah, you can set like specific things that are available and not available. I have minds so that whenever it's on charge, I get no alerts on any device. Oh, cool. Because it's only on charge when I'm trying to get a sleep.

What if you're like on a plane as being charged? I guess you're on a plane so you're not going to get alerts anyway. I'm sure you're getting a signal. I have like a work mode that I activate. Yeah, it's like so I like don't get alerts from things that will distract me during work. Yeah. You know, it's like, I turn that on. Sometimes I forget to turn it off and then like, you're like, why aren't you responding?

I was like, why are you looking? You can set it to specific times. I know, but I don't. But I feel like work, hours change sometimes. Like again, like last week we were like eight to eight, right? Yeah. It's just like, I just like turn it on when I arrive and then turn it off whenever I think about it I don't anything that people would be contacting me on I I never keep those of like

Off limits well like even slack because I have no boundaries. I can even keep slack as like notifications on all the time even on weekends Yeah, it too because again no boundaries. Yeah, glad even on weekends. Yeah, I did too. Cause again, no bad. Yeah, gluten for punishment. Yeah. I'm always working, give me more work. Okay, stuff happens. Sometimes, like, you're just in this line of work. Stuff happens that the weekend sometimes, doesn't it? Like, I'll notice a video that's going up

and it'll be, you'll just have a like a glaring era. And I'm like, yeah, shit. Now I'm gonna like wreck someone's weekend by just putting it in slightly like, Yep. Hey, this video is completely out of sync. Or the description of this is from a different video. Yeah, yeah or we shouldn't leave it But also I don't want to I don't want something to have to deal with it either, but I'm just like yeah anyone wants to Lisa is clearly there's doubled up leases

There's too many leases. I think I'm just so accustomed to it because I used to run the social media for Rupert Heath, which was like a 24 hour, seven day a week job because you're always having to pay attention to everything. So I'm like used to being always on call for stuff. But I do, I have fixed stuff myself on the Rupert Heath YouTube channel that I've noticed, like whether it's like a link was missing or the description was wrong or something was spelled wrong

where I'm like, I could just message someone which I usually do and then like, if no one responds, I'm like, I'm just gonna fix it myself because like, yeah. I'm really happy you said that because I could do that too. I just totally forgot. Yeah.

I could log in and just do that. Yeah. I think we, so many people doing things now that I don't think to like, oh, I could just fucking give them a fix. Yeah, it's this when the problem is like burned into the export of the video. Where it's like that I can use. And especially if the video came out on Friday night or something where it's like, we could wait until Monday to fix this.

But most of its views will be on the weekend. It's I'm just like most views are within the first 48 hours. Yeah. Oh my god. And I've had that before because minecraft used to go up on I would always add minecraft to go up a Friday's and that'd be occasional times where I like This whole track just got slightly misaligned the entire video. Yeah, I'm gonna back They're all we get it's funny. Say that most views are within the first 48 hours unless it's like a YouTube short

Which we're discovering apparently has its own life cycle that's entirely disassociated from the way you normally think of YouTube. I cannot even say that too. Let's subscribe in the same way. No, no. Well, definitely not because we actually started the STF channel. We have a YouTube channel where we're like, we'll park it and put our shorts that we're making for TikTok and Instagram stuff on there too, because why not?

So we've just been simultaneously uploading to YouTube, and we started off obviously with no subscribers, because there's a brand new YouTube channel, and we weren't putting any sort of promotion behind it or anything, it'll just be there, people just probably. Just through a positivity. Yeah, exactly. We've had videos, there's one video that's at like 4.4 million views. There's another one that's like 2.5 million,

another one at like 2.2 million. And like we've gained I think over the weekend, like 30,000 subscribers on the channel. All from just like. And that's all the subscribers it has. It only has 30,000 subscribers. But I think it's have millions and millions of you. I think a lot of people at YouTube have been contacting

their like part managers and stuff being like, yeah, my subs aren't getting notified about the shorts and the YouTube are like, yeah, don't worry about what, not supposed to do. It's honestly, it's good because like a big part of what we're trying to do with STF is like, make stuff for audience to enjoy, but also to find new people who don't know about Rupert Heath. And so it's like stuff that's a little more broad, a little like not as referential as a lot of stuff we do at Rupert Heath. And

so it's like really cool to like be able to do that with YouTube shorts. Yeah. Find people who have like our brand new audience. To the extent of universe. To our universe. I've made a few, but I haven't put them up yet on the slide. To the extent of the universe. Best in a matter of universe. I've made a few, but I haven't put them up yet on the slow, I just don't like what it does to the videos page, especially when it's like. I know, so it doesn't look as fast. My videos are so infrequent that it will just get annihilated

with the shorts. I wish it was like a different, like it did show up in the same feed, you know? Like it was a different thing. It's got that little icon, but yeah. Yeah, I just like, I even like when we were doing it, so we used to upload some to the Rooster Teeth YouTube, but then we started focusing more on the STF one,

which is why you're not seeing them on the Rooster Teeth one anymore. But even like when you looked at the videos, it'd be like podcast, RTA, short, like, and it just fell off balance, you know, just from a visual perspective. Yeah. Yeah, I could see why you might be a, just like a timeout. A visual standpoint.

See what it goes. They're cool. I could picture you doing like second long shorts that take half an hour to wash. That's exactly like, we did it. Because I like revisiting subjects that I filmed like 10 years ago, except now it's like 50 times slower.

But I don't want to make a whole entire video about the exact same thing. So I feel like shorts are good for that. But I did a video where it was the video where like you get a beer bottle filled with water and then you just like, yeah, and cavitation blows out the bottom. Yeah. And I was like, okay, great. And I saved that one little like one second clip and I got an hour of food. I was like, this is not a short. I the other day, I don't know if you saw it, I guess, Valve announced that they're, they're just selling steam decks now. They're not like, you have to wait.

You're in a hurry. Yeah. You can just order one of those. They'll ship it to you. So, uh, I ordered one. I haven't gotten it yet. Did you order a dock? No.

Is that a dock? Just because I think that I don't know anyone who has one yet. So I don't know how good they are. That's kind of like I didn't order. I didn't preorder a steam deck because I was a shrimp. They're're going to be any good now. Carey won't shut up about it I've heard like mix things so I didn't I took my italy. I just got it and I just played I figured I played I've talked about this last time. I just played like a ten year old game played dissonant and it ran really well because it's so old I just loved it. Mm-hmm. It's great, but I know

Factorio is coming out on the switch like in a couple weeks. I'm like oh, I wonder loved it. Mm-hmm, it was great. But I know, Factoreo's coming out on the Switch like in a couple of weeks. I'm like, oh, I wonder if it would work on the steam back. Something. Yeah, I just want to have like a portable steam deck. I feel like the mouse is so important for that. It's even scrolling around. Well, the reason I think it might be good

is they intentionally had to make it work on the Switch, which is already controller based. So they probably did some kind of controller support edition. So it might work well. Which one has better like specs, the steam deck, or a switch? Oh, the steam deck for sure. Steam deck's computer.

Okay. Well, I don't know. I mean, I guess technically the switch is too, but it's very. Yeah. And one's way older. Yeah. Very purpose driven. Yeah, I don't have a doc just, oh wait,

just like I said, I wait for the steam deck to see how that panned out. I'll wait to hear what people say about the doc. Yeah, I go the deck and then I order the doc where the doc hasn't come, so I'm still on the deck. I hate this. I don't only get a deck doc to take on. I don't get a dick, but I don't have a doc or a deck.

Man, I have a deck. Oh, one of my all time favorite shows is having like a revival. They rebooted it. They released the first five episodes of a new season of the mole of Netflix. The reality show. I love that show. The first five episodes are on Netflix now

and they're going to release the last five on a weekly basis. Oh, see, and that was like a, when I was like coming up with Camp betrayal, I was like, that was like and part of the like in inspiration, I'd actually watched the whole series by watch like yeah, most of it as like a like yeah, we're there's. Have you ever watched them all? It's so good. It's really good. The new season, they do things a little differently, you know.

Is it Anderson Cooper? No, no. Man, Tim, he was the best host. It's really good. The new season they do things a little differently, you know, is it Anderson Cooper? No, no. Man, damn, he was the best host. It's not Anderson Cooper, but they do some annoying things, but you might you might not be annoyed if you've never seen the old episodes, but if you've seen the old episodes, just like the pacing is a little different, they do something that I fucking hate where they go through the whole episode and have the quiz at the end of the episode, but you don't find out who's eliminated until the beginning of the next episode.

Reality shows are doing that more and more. I fucking hate that. Especially because Netflix used to just dump every episode, so it wouldn't have been a big deal. With this one, they jumped the first five episodes and now you have to wait weekly for the next five. Should they be trying to entice you by the next episode and not by the end of the episode?

I love a show where they show a little preview of the next one and then you're like, we gotta watch the next one right now. I groan at the end of every episode. Oh my God. There's a show like that that Trevor and I watch that does that exact, it's like the same formula every time where the huge, it leaves you on such a cliffhanger. Oh, it's the circle.

Oh. You guys are vercing the circle on that one. I haven't, but it's like a social media reality show. It's very much just like, as I call it like a phone TV, where it's like you just have it on it and you're like on your phone or doing that. Yeah, but you put on TV, that's a line down it. Exactly. Exactly.

Yeah. Behind your monitors, where they would do that thing where like, basically the big reveal of something would always be the beginning of the next episode, which like, it's a genius play to make you watch the next episode and essentially keep binging. But Trevor and I would do the thing where we would get to that point, watch that moment in the second episode and then stop watching. Almost as if like that was the full episode. Almost as if like that was the full episode. Man, I will say one thing that they did that I did like.

So in the current season of the mole, they don't tell you all the questions on the quiz. I felt like on the old ones, they were like, they would go through question one. Like, and you'd hear the entire quiz. This one, it's very much like, it's time for the quiz and they might show you one or two questions, but you don't really know. At the end of the fifth episode, they put a QR code on screen and a URL. They say, take the quiz to see if you're on the right track. Yeah. So it's like, you go to a website and it asks you a version of the quiz and then it tells you, like, it gives you a green or red thumbprint to know you're on the right track. I got a green thumbprint. Good job, Gus. I think I know who the mole

is. Oh, really? I think I know who the mole is. Oh really? I think I do. I don't want to say it, because I don't suppose. Do you know the premise of the mole? It sounds like you have to figure out who the mole is. So there's 12 contestants and they do like, it's almost like spy things.

Like go and recover this case or break into this building and like do these adventure things, almost like escape rooms kind of. But one of the 12 contestants isn't really a contestant. They're put there by the production team to sabotage the events as they go along. Yeah, but it's the same person throughout the whole series. So like everyone's trying to gain money into the pot, but only the person who wins at the very and the last person standing gets all the money, but the mole tries to stop them from getting the money.

Yeah. So everyone tries to play this game where they want everyone else to think they're the mole so that everyone else at the end of every episode You have to answer a quiz about the mole So like what did the mole choose in this challenge like what food did they eat at this point? And like what color shoes was the mole wearing in the car on the way to the challenge? So like you have to have an idea in your mind of who you think it is So you could pay attention to that person, right? So some very broad some very specific questions and then whoever's the most Wrong and on the quiz gets eliminated. So every player wants everyone else to think that they're the mole so that everyone's answering the

quiz about them while secretly trying to figure out who the mole really is. If you've ever seen the new mods on Among Us, you're trying to play the Jester where you want everyone to think it's you and get eliminated. It's when you said that because in in Chatguncada said, so it's an Among Us TV show. It's right, it has a lot of similarities for sure. It was, yeah, it's really good. And the funny thing about the mole is, there are, it's been like this on every season. There's always really dumb people who think that they're being really smart.

And it's like, God, this is not gonna work out for you. I think it's, I am all. I to work out for you. I think it is. I am all. Really good for you. Yeah. The entire show, that must be so stressful. I bet it is. Because I feel like you play among us.

It's just one round, and it's kind of nothing overall. But then we play a game like the thing where you have to take your role through the entire game. I kind of imagined doing that through a game of the entire season. Through weeks of filming, like spending time with people, like down, up. There's no downtime. It's like you're always trying to play the game. It's nice though, because it's like, it's not like the mole could get eliminated

in the games over, like, because your answering question about the mole, so of course the mole is gonna get things right about themselves. So, there's like no real stakes there in terms of like, oh, if people find me out, I'm like, I'm gonna be off the show and this is gonna be done. It's like a Z-head that would be a tough one.

I liked in our thing video, everyone was pretty much 100% sure I was in imitation and we still burned Jackie to death. Yeah, we did a- That was a great video. It was the finale of a... Let's Roll, is that what the series is called? Let's Roll, Achievement Hunter's Let's Roll, where it was me, Trevor, Gavin Meg,

and then Frato and Jackie playing the thing out post-31. Which is a very frequent crew outside of work. We would actually do that in real life. We've played that game multiple times together, which is so funny because as many times so as we've played that game, and as many cards are being drawn each time for like a new infected person i have never been infected

ever as we play so like when we were filming that i was like please don't let it be now i have to sabotage i was the first invitation i was like oh yeah it's not good it was pretty obvious i have a question about flasher's and what is appropriate? When can you put your flat? No, no, this is not me. I didn't do this. Why y'all shook your heads? We were talking about the thing all of a sudden you asking about flasher's. Oh, I think flasher? No, like in the car. Yeah.

Like, flasher? No, like, link war, yeah. Oh! Oh! Yeah! Oh! Still unrelated, but please. I was thinking, before I used to show in their dick, and when it was appropriate, I didn't even know.

It's not me using my phone. Yeah, what? No, so I'm not flashing flasher. Flasher, which the head lights. Hazard lights. The headlights when you make a price? Indicators, yeah. Wait, wait, the headlights or like the blinkers

of the hazard lights. Like, do, do, do, do, do, do, like indicators. The park any more button. Yeah. Yeah. That you can't just park like anywhere. Of course not. I was for an emergency, actually.

Yeah, for emergency. Or like a, or be doing stuff normally for the next minute. I think I think. And it's usually for a second. Like I have to pull over to like get this thing and then I could keep going. Yeah, or like maybe the push of this is like, so you don't have a park, you're parking somewhere,

like illegally like as like a dope park, but you put your flashes on, you run in, okay. Hand something and then you get back, right? Okay. I had someone, and this is not me. I was trying to park at a parking garage, and someone put their flashes on right in front

of the parking garage. Like blocking the entrance. Not like blocking the entrance where you couldn't get in, but where like, you couldn't get out. It was like, you had to go around them to get interrupt. Okay. Like right at the front of the entrance. Okay. And I was like,

surely they're like, not you're just gonna leave it like, I was like, because it was like the interest of parking garage. Uh-huh. And everyone was like, trying to figure out this like, thing in this person's just blinking. And I think they were someone in the car. And they just left it. And I was like trying to figure out this like thing and this person just blinking and I think they were someone in the car and they just left it and I was like are you really like you're just gonna leave this there are human beings many

human beings who have no sense of other people and no awareness and I've just got people who do stuff like this just like like, I don't know what it is if they just don't give a fuck, or just like they want it inconvenienced people. But I've seen shit like this before. I'm just like, are you, like you see people trying to get around you and struggling? And yeah.

I went to pick up takeout food last week or the week before. Did you flash someone? No. And I walk in and I'm, you know, I tell them, you hear to pick me in order for Gustavo. Like, okay, and I'm, you know, I tell them, you hear the pick of Norfolk Gustavo, like, okay, then let me go into the kitchen, I'll go check. The woman leaves, it goes in the back of the kitchen,

another customer walks into the door and then like stands right next to me, like no personal space. And I turn and I look at her and I take a step to my right, you know, to increase the distance between us. And then she takes a step to the right, like, crowning me again. And I look at her again and I take like, like, two huge steps to increase the

space and she doesn't get right up on me again, but she like halves the distance and gets close again. I'm like, what the fuck is this person's problem? Then like the employee comes back out and he's like, here's your order. Thank you. And I say, thank you. And I take my order and the woman who had the other class we walked in is, you know, on her phone and she just turns, like, doesn't say anything.

She just like shoves her phone out into the employee's face and the employee like looks at it It's like okay, you know I let me go get it. So like I'm walking out and as I walk out of the restaurant There's a car park like you know normally When you turn into parking lot there's like rows you go down you find a spot in your park There's a car that's stopped in the middle of the row with the hazard lights on the middle row Yeah, and I'm like I know whose car this is with the hazard lights on. I didn't know the row.

Yeah, and I'm like, I know whose car this is. Oh, I guess it was. And that was like a door dash person, or something like that. I guess it was. That woman comes out and gets in the car, that's blocking the entire row for the parking lot, gets in her car and drives off. I'm like, I knew it.

Of course, it's that same woman. Like, no, like you said, just unaware of other people, no common courtesy. I just can't. I can't. I feel like unless I'm in my home or at here at work, I have to just be an NPC. Like, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You know, in an inception where they're messing with the dream and everyone's like, you know what that is? You don't want people, you don't want to be, you want to blend in. I am so overly aware of myself at all times, to the point where I feel like I'm always in the way, especially in public. So I'm always trying to make sure I'm not, like, even at all times. So the point where I feel like I'm always in the way, especially in public. So I'm always trying to make sure I'm not,

like, even at grocery stores. You know, people just walking aimlessly or like backing up without looking. Or leaving their cart blocking the entire aisle. And I'm just like, I never wanna be a problem for anybody. I never want someone to be like, see, could the fuck out of the way?

Never. I'm, see, I worry. Because I get like, tumble vision on stuff, or I'm like, I know I've been that person on accident. But I'm not, I never do, I'm not like doing it intentionally. I'm not saying I'm like,

but I'm like, when have I done that? And I don't know. I, it's like, if you don't know. It's probably a lot. It's probably a pretend. No, I also, Fiona got back to me with what made her crack up from this week. The thing we are filming involved food, I will say that.

Okay. And at one point, someone's eating something that maybe Chris had a hand in making. I won't confirm or deny that. And they're eating it. Chris goes, chicken, um, yum. And Fiona could not stop laughing. And he could also make yummy noises for people as they were eating things.

It's kind of like, incept. And he would also like make yummy noises for people as they were eating things. Kind of like in-cept. Yeah. Chicken, oh my, y'all are mad. You're one of the best people ever. I'm not, I guess, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, where... I feel like, to the public, you're an absolute hazard. But, so I don't have any of your co-workers.

Just joy. Oh my god. Yeah, and Fiona just, she was dying. She, I think she was laughing about it like the rest of the day. So good, I can't wait for that show to come out. It's not gonna be too long before. When are we announcing that, you know?

I don't know, but I know it's supposed to come out within like a month or two. Oh, really fast. Someone in chat was asking, I remember who it was. Yeah, there you go. It's a show that involves food and food. It's a cool food show. Food show.

Very fun. Very enjoyable. You know, I'm thinking about, sorry, I'm doing a segue like Chris just did. I'm thinking about hazard lights. Why is there no standard place for hazard lights in a car? Like, if you ever get a new car or rental car, I'm like, where are they? Like, if you need them a new car or rental car, more like, where are they?

Like, if you need them, you're like, oh shit. Oh, the button here, there's a button over here, there's a button over here. Like, everything's pretty standardized except for the hazard button. It can be, and it's like, the Wild West when it comes to that button.

It can be anywhere. It is. And by car, it's on the ceiling. What? What? What? What? What? Yeah. A lot of times in the front, but also sometimes you're like, sometimes it's in the middle, like the point, like airbags. airbags down in the middle. Oh weird

It's there's no standardization or where that button goes. I haven't had a lot of cars And it seems to always be in the same spot where that I've noticed so that's crazy. Yeah, we need a feature in cost by the way That plays a loud sound over a cause's radio when the light goes green. Because nobody sits at a light, it does nothing anymore. Everyone's on their phone. Every single person. If you sit in an Uber and just watch other people, I was crossing the street recently.

Three lanes, five cars. The front was full and they were two behind. I watched the light turn green and go red, and nobody went. What? Five different people didn't notice. The worst is, I thought like, is something happening? Everyone literally everyone was on the phone

and it went red again. Oh my God. Sometimes I'm at a red light, like I don't pick up my phone like that, you know, I'm waiting for it to turn green. It turns green, there's like four cars in front of me, and I'm like, no one's going, no one's honking. I'm like four cars back honking because the lights green.

Three cars in front of me. I'm also on that phone. I am always, I don't use my phone in my car unless I'm like, I have the directions on it that I'm looking at. But I am the most impatient person. The second a light turns green and someone doesn't go, I am melee him on my horn.

Because I know they're on their phone. Around here, yeah, there's two problems. People don't go on green and people are running reds. I feel like I never see a red light that's not being run anymore. Dude, I know. Every time the light turns red, there's at least one, usually two or three cars

that run red. No, because everyone on their phones, they know no one's gonna go. You know what another feature a car should have? And I thought about this for a long time, a U-turn signal. Because there's a lot of areas where if you're behind someone and it's like a left turn thing,

there's like a certain speed that you keep behind someone as they're turning or as traffic is going. And if you're doing a U-turn, you need a wider birth and more space and stuff like that. And so like preparing the people behind you, like doing a U-turn by the way, just so you know, give me like a second. There's a specific spot in Ottawa

on my way to my high school that it's so many people would U-turn. And I was like, God, I wish they had a U-turn signal. It's like a little arrow that like, yeah, goes all the way around. My car beeps when the light turns green, by the way. One time my mom makes it, because it's got the cameras in it.

What's it do? When the light turns green. That's way. One time my mom makes it, because it's got the cameras in it. What's it do? What's it do? Boom. When the light turns green. That's really handy. That's so cool. Yeah. One time my mom called me on the phone. Sorry about that.

After she left. This was when I was like 17 in high school. She called me and started yelling at me because I got her into an accident. You got her into an accident? That's what she told me. What did you do? You were driving to her? No, I was at home.

Are you sure she wasn't saying you were an accident? No, yeah. Yeah. I just loosened the lug nuts on her cup. But like, we got, like, she got into, we got into an argument in the morning for I remember why. she was mad at me. I used to be like Difficult in the morning like I can't go to school. I broke my foot carrying

But I was just like oh I'm about done spiking my hair, you know like whatever and she'd always be like upset You know whatever and I don't remember what happened, but like liking my hair, you know, like whatever. And she'd always be like upset, you know, or whatever, and I don't remember what happened, but like. So you got an argument in the morning and that affected her on her part. She was upset and then she, I got a phone call from her yelling at me like after the fact being mad at me for making her upset

because she got an accident later on. And then I was like, I'm sorry. I was like felt really mad. That sounds like her problem. And then my brother was like, I'm sorry. I was like, felt really mad. It sounds like her problem. And then my brother was like, yeah, that was her fault. She goes, here goes, are you eat? And then, so wasn't like she was distracted and then she ran into so much,

she was like, go for it. Wow. And then like got hit. And I was like, and. There's no guilt, like mother's guilt. Let me tell you. You got me in an act because I was mad at you. I mean, your fault.

To be fair, I'm sure I was a shit. Like, oh yeah because I was mad at you. I mean, you're fault. To be fair, I'm sure I was a shit like, oh yeah, I was also a shit kid. I was a worst teenager. It's such a attitude. Yeah. There were times where, let me talk about this one, you would be up all night on the sky talking to me and a time difference. I would just be going to bed.

Like, one of your family members would come and be like, you haven't been up all night. Have you? And you'd be like, you haven't been up all night. Have you? And you'd be like, no, I just woke up. Or I would get a knock on the door from my dad three in the morning, he's like, Barbara, go to bed. Okay. Okay. Hey, turn out just fine. Hey, hey, hey're gonna wrap up. We're just praying for the post.

Are you saved for the post show for first members? Yeah, yeah, yeah, wink. But see, I feel weird, you just did that wink because early to the wink and it was about sex. Yeah, because our first time- That was my left eye number, right? Thank you, thank you, thank you. It's totally different.
