Oh I'm Gus Arola and I approve this message. RTTV, RTTV is sponsored by ExpressVPN, your data, your business, protect it at expressvpn.com slash rooster. Thanks ExpressVPN for sponsoring RTTV. Are you having a one-way-to-one-way-to-sheet podcast? I'm Gus.

Oh, I'm Gavin. I'm Drew. I'm Gus. Aw, I'm Gavin. I'm Drew. I'm Gus too. Maybe. I'm Gus. I'm Gus three. They decided that Gavin's the best looking for.

Okay, there we go. Wow. That's a scary mask. That proportion on it, it's out of proportion. It's way too big. Dude, it is so big and so uncomfortable. Like, not the way it feels, but the way it looks, just like,

no mountain. I get it, I know, it's uncomfortable. I see it every day. It's weird, it's like, when you look at the mask, not on someone's face, it's like, oh, that's, you know, that's Gus's face. And then when it goes onto someone else's face, the entire thing changes, it all looks wrong.

It's the five o'clock shadow that gets me. It just is too macro, it's too much, too many little hairs. I can it changes. It all looks wrong. It's the five o'clock shadow that gets me. It just is too macro. It's too much too many little hairs. I can count them. I think the thing that throws me off is the bottom of glasses are showing and I don't wear glasses. So it's just like cases. Have you won it?

Gus and aligned the glasses to the glasses on the mask? I wore it with the wrong glasses. I don't have the correct glasses. I don't have I don't have that mask or the correct glasses nearby or I'd go grab them. But yeah, so it was definitely way more terror inducing than I expected. But I will take exception.

Ruchu-T's, when they posted on social media, they said, it's better to wear a scary mask than no mask at all. Why is it scary? Like what's this level shade that means thrown at me? You got it, isn't it? It's a road social media. It's terrifying.

Do you not see that it's terrifying? On anyway, why would they call my face scary? I think too big. I think if you did it to anyone's face. Yeah, anyone's bottom half of their face as a mask would be scary, I think. It looks like it doesn't match. Looks like both select.

No one in this podcast has seen that. None. Nope. I don't have my ears. What if I just did the entire podcast like this? And you guys always thought I was like smiling on what you were saying. I'd hang up. I'd hang up right now.

I can't. Has anyone got anything they want to complain about. Oh, you both of you on this podcast, it's been six hundred six episodes. We've been so good about not complaining. Why would we start now and break that streak? It's a good point. Let's not complain. Yeah. All right. So we have been doing this to me on purpose because I went in the chat right before the podcast and I was like, guys, hang on, keep watching because both Gus and Gavin have something to complain about sure to be juicy. And then you guys called me out on it.

And now we have a nose. So speaking of which, if if people want to watch live, they can't receive.com. You can make a free account. I've got chat right over here. And I'm watching it. You can come and talk to us and we'll interact with you guys. So we're live Mondays at 5 p.m. Central time, 5 to 6.30. So at receipt.com.

Come make a free account, hang out, who is this? A front to nature says that mask looks like serial killers mask from the purge. Thank you. I appreciate that. I ran into Drew. So what was it last week? I talked about how I ran into someone for the first time from Rooster Chief out at the grocery store.

Well, this past weekend was it for on Friday? I ran into Drew. We were going to the liquor store. At the liquor store. We still have a weekend. I didn't even buy alcohol. I was specced I was buying a bunch of like cheese and bullshit. Uh, finer foods and better.

Finer foods. Yeah, finer cheese. You got booze. You got bullshit. Uh, finer foods and good. Finer foods. Yeah, finer cheese. You got booze. You got bullshit. They got everything. I, I'm sorry. I don't want to hijack your story here, Gus, but some magic shit happened in that encounter. It's best.

First of all, me and Gus have the exact same social, like, graces, I guess. I just like the whole time we saw each other from far away and both of us kind of like I think that's man I think that's him and then as we got closer to it. No, it's definitely him We're definitely gonna have to talk crap and then and then like we both went I thought that was you but nobody has stopped moving the whole time Yeah, we're both up on the store. Yeah,, and so I walk in first and then he tries to, he's like, have you met my wife Esther before?

And I was like, yeah, we met at Comic Con. Still moving, still not stopping. And still maintaining a six foot distance in masks the whole time. And then like, I'm like, now looking over my shoulder and being like, yeah, great to see you. Glad you're in person. Hello, how are you? And then I assume, because I'm going to go buy some clearly

Canadian again, finer foods, delicious beverage. I assume, and it's over in the beer aisle. So I assume now we're going to have to do that really awkward, like super bad thing, where we both awkwardly walked in the beer aisle. But then he fucking vanishes. And I never see him again. Like, he's, I turn around, I'm in the beer aisle, I'm like, clearly he's got to be here. No, and then I had to go buy finer foods around the store, never seen again. I don't know what you're saying. You know what, true? That happened to me with Gus at a target.

I just don't know how he does. He has a special rich people like, he's under target. He's under target. Is there a smoker guy? It's like I just dropped. I was at a target and I saw, I think four different people from Richard Dieta.

This was like probably a year ago at this point. And I saw a guy's nester there and I was like, oh, hey, blah, blah. And then we were still walking around the same area and I never saw them again. And usually, I don't know, Gus, if you were like, fuck someone here that we know, I need to get the fuck out of here.

So I don't talk to them ever again. But it was so weird, you disappeared. I think when I ran into you, we were about to leave. If I remember right, it's been a while. That was in the old days before COVID. So I don't remember very well anymore. It's been decades since then. In the before.

But I think we were on our way out at that point. With Drew, what happened was, what I needed was immediately to the right of the store, right by the front door. So it's like, we walked in and then immediately I just went to the right, picked up what I needed and then left. Like, we'll pay for it and then left. So that's why I I just figured you need it from from Drew. I assumed you went to wines. I assumed you were over and like, maybe the liquor I was like, I'm gonna run into them again at least one more time. No, but it was flashbang gone. You know how in Zelda, is it Zelda where you could use the rope to just

go back to the beginning of a dungeon? I think so. You could do it in Pokemon too. But I reckon Gus has something like that, but he doesn't use it for emergencies like finding his way out of a cave because it's lost. He just goes to the front of a store if he recognizes an employee. Gotta go. Just eject. Yep. By to get the fuck out of here. Get out of awkward social situations, right? Yeah. I will say, I felt relieved at how we both were the exact same level of awkwardly social. It was like, I didn't feel put out.

I didn't feel like I wasn't doing enough. I felt like we were doing the exact same amount. And I was like, this is perfect. If every social interaction was like this, I'd be in were doing the exact same amount. And I was like, this is perfect. If every social interaction was like this, I'd be in heaven all the time. I was really shocked. At first I was like, is that Drew? No, that's not Drew.

That's definitely no. Yeah, no. Yeah, I felt like the kombucha girl. I was like, you know, going to emotions. And we were like, oh yeah, it is Drew. It's amazing, just like having that mask on, how difficult it is to tell. You had sunglasses on too, didn't you?

I think you had reflective sunglasses on as well. And also, it was like even more difficult. Reflective sunglasses and then also shorts, which I don't ever like, whoa, who are you? Who are you? Exactly, there was, there was, Plus we had, we had, I think we had literally

just finished filming something too. I think we had filmed something together. I think I went straight to the liquor something too. I think we had filmed something together. I think I went straight to the liquor store or like right very quickly afterwards. So it was weird that I had just seen you on camera and then I just saw it running to you in person. So does this happen to you?

When did this start for you guys? Like if like you were very good friends with Jeff back in the day, if you'd bumped into Jeff in a supermarket, would you have done the same then or would that have been like a hangout a chat? Oh no, it would have been exactly the same There should be rules. Oh, hey, what's up? And then gone there should be rules about like seeing someone in a supermarket It's shit like there's a simple or like just some sort of like I see you. Yep. I'm not talking to you The absolute worst was years ago once I ran into Brandon Farmajini at HEB, and we were doing that thing where we were coming down

the aisles in opposite directions and meeting each other and talking, and then going through the aisle, and then the next aisle running into each other again, coming from the opposite directions, and then it was just like, I don't want to do it. Like I had to go to a different part of the store because I didn't want to keep running into him.

You guys were shopping in the same sequences. Right, we were going down the aisle in the same order. I feel like with you guys, like what Gavin asked before about Jeff, I feel like with you, any type of social interaction, no matter how well you know the person, I feel like any social interaction you want to have planned. So if it's something that is out of the ordinary,

it's like, you don't want friendship at that point in time. I just want to. And I say even human contact or interaction, it's abstracted further from friendship. Like, yeah, just any type of acknowledgement of your presence. So what would you do if you bumped into me in a supermarket and you had like a shopping cart full of Goods and I just climbed into it and sat in it with all your stuff. What would you do?

I probably just leave the car there and walk out like it's Gavin's cart now. It's not mine anymore And then I would just have to buy all the stuff that you chose and I guess let you know how it will turn out Yeah, I'm I I buy quality stuff. Hopefully you're into plant-based food. Oh, yeah. Oh, man. It's still beginning. I, for the most part, just like once a one-meal a week,

typically, like, yeah, one meal a week, typically, is not. Man, I had a, I did something fucking dumb last week. I much talk about it on the last podcast, but I didn't. I had some groceries in my car, and they were on the front seat of my car. Like, you know, we have just reusable bags here in Austin. I had like a cloth reusable bag, filled with groceries in the passenger seat of my car,

and I was driving, and as I was driving, I was thinking, oh, I can't really smell the pickles from my groceries. That jar of pickles, let's pickle smell really good. And I just kept driving, got all the way home and then went to take my bag of groceries off of the passenger seat and the pickles had opened and spilled an entire jar of pickle juice everywhere. Like the back was still. All over your electric car.

Yeah, my car seat was like a swimming pool of pickle juice everywhere. Like the back. All over your electric car. Yeah, my car seat was like a swimming pool of pickle juice. Like I picked up, it was just like dripping and there was just like a reservoir of pickle juice. Oh, the car seat. I was like, fuck. So of course, like I had to do my best to like wipe it all up and dry it all out, but it's pickle, it stinks like vinegar or what, you know,

like a brine solution from pickles. So it's like, I then I had to like try to for breeze it and like try it all these different things. I've been leaving my windows open for days trying to get the spill pickle juice out of my car. And then like later that day, I went and turned on my car and then it gave me an error message that the passenger restraint system didn't work anymore because apparently it must have pickle juice all in it. So I got a schedule on your car. Right, I have to go to the fucking car dealership so they can fix my fucking seat belt and my car. Dropping your iPhone in a pool. A pill of pickle juice. What size pickles are we talking here? Like, how many ounces, like, are we talking like the best made, like, no big girl movie theater pickles?

Are we talking like, it's like a plastic tub of pickles. It's those grillos pickles. It might have been, if I had to guess, like, 32 ounces of juice. Yeah, it's a lot of juice in there. Yeah. Anyone else craving pickles right now, except me? No, they're really good pickles.

I love pickles. I love them. I probably don't want the smell of it wafting in my car at all times, so I don't blame you on that. It's mostly gone. It's under control at this point, but man, what a fucking nightmare. Some of it is show out the sensor or something

or like damage the electronics somehow. I maybe, I think so. The error doesn't come on all the time anymore so maybe it's finally drawing down. But I still I gotta have a take a look at it. I don't want like the seat belt. I don't want the safety systems to not work because I still fucking pick up. Now I just want one of those little air fresheners. The tree shaped air fresheners but it's a pick. It's a pickle. a pickle. And it just has sunglasses on it says deal with it. Dillon it. Nice. Does anybody I get not gab not Gavin, but does anybody use those car air fresheners like the pine tree one or you do? Oh yeah. I'm a grand

I have a funny story about those. Drew, I want to hear your story about these. I just do. We ordered it. We helped. Oh, you're a story. Go ahead. We ordered Instacart to get our groceries. Our Instacart order came this week and had a bunch of those little car candle fresher things that you hang from your,

I guess, mirror or something like that, that we didn't order and obviously we're not really driving anywhere, so we didn't really know what to do with them. So we just hung on by our trash can because when it's full, it starts to get stinky. So we just hung a little car or a fresh nurse right by the trash can. But that happened this week. So it's funny that you brought that up. That's never had the before.

This one like post-apocalyptic shit. Like, that's like now that we're in, like, the end time. Just like, what are we going to do with all these air? Put them by the trash. Like, we're in the other time. Smell our trash. I've never I've never liked those car fresheners. I think they're always way too strong. I'm shocked to hear that Drew uses one. I feel like I mean, like for the first two weeks, you almost throw up every time you get in the car. It's like, wow. And then they always have like goofy fucking names like leather satchel or like green green green or whatever

And then you also you're also the kind of person who keeps just like full mugs like from the kitchen and stuff in your car I always forget I bought a new car Gavin and I keep it very clean. I had a drive Gavin one time I don't want to shame I don't want to shame your shame your car because you had kind enough to give me a ride. That was so funny. I've never seen like non-cod board cups in a car. They were just like full mugs. It made me, I was going to whack it up. The AI.

I just went on my way to work. Back when I was freelance, I would have a cup of coffee from the kitchen. I'd get to work and I'd throw it on the floor. And then so Gavin goes to get my car. And there's like Ninertinn, like ceramic ceramic mugs just like. Ninertinn. What's up? Yeah, totally. They're all gonna get old shipped and stuff.

Why isn't Mugs? Yeah, they roll around back there. How could they not get shipped? I don't know. They just never did. It was so funny to me. I think it was like a 10 minute caudgetty and I was cracking up for like at least off of it. It was so funny. Just this every time we take a turn, you're too like, I was thinking like one or two. I didn't realize it was that many. It was a lot.

And we've gotten better. I've got a new car. So I like make sure that no bugs are in the car. Man, remember when we could get in each other's cars and stuff? Hey, remember that. That's cool. Back in the old days. Yeah.

I saw a Drew this time or in person for the first time in a while I won up to Gus. I saw his mouth. So it's true. We did a photo shoot for some new merch and got to get some Yeah, we were socially distant But it's true. I saw some of the pictures drew. I don't know if Wes has sent them to you We obviously did them in a very safe space. People had masks, we were distanced. But there's a couple shots where I'm in the foreground and you're in the background.

And it just looks like you're scarily creeping in the forest watching me take photos because we did the shoot outside like in the trees and stuff like that. And you just seen Drew like still a wedded in the back as I was in. I'm stuff like that. And you just seem true, like still a wedded in the back as I was saying. I'm a good model. Yeah.

And it makes it look kind of creepy, but I love it in a weird way. I really hope that's on the front page of the, like check out the new line or else. Or else. Or we'll visit you. He'll meet you at specs while you buy a piece of shit. I'll be waiting for you.

What's it called specs? Specs, specs. Like the glossic. Specs finder of food. Yeah. And their mascot's a rabbit. And this all makes sense. Logically their mascot is a rabbit.

Okay. All right. It's a good store. I have a lot of it. Yeah, there's one kind of close to the studio. That's where we ran into each other. There's a couple around time. There's that one. There's that one down south by sunset valley. There's one up by kind of by the arboretum. There's one one second thing I was the top

of my head. This episode received podcasts brought to you by ExpressVPN. We've heard me talk about how important it is to have a VPN and now that a lot of you are working from home, it's even more important to choose a VPN that you trust. Now I like to do research on our sponsors here. I recommend brands that I believe in. And I can say with full confidence, ExpressVPN is the best VPN on the market. And here's why ExpressVPN does not log your data.

Lots of really cheap or free VPNs make money by selling your data at companies. ExpressVPN developed a technology called Trusted Server. That makes it impossible for their servers to log any of your info. Number two, speed. I tried lots of VPNs in the past. Many of them slow your connection or make your devices sluggish. I've been using ExpressVPN for months now.

And my internet speeds are always super fast, even when connecting to server thousands of miles away. Still stream HD videos, zero lag, super great. Another thing that sets ExpressVPN apart from other VPNs is how easy it is to use. Unlike other VPNs, you don't have to input or program anything. You're just far up the app. Click one button to connect. It's so easy, I bet, even your grandparents could do it.

That's here. That's here. And that concludes the where our specs in Austin of the podcast. I think I don't know if you want to get to it yet, but it has to do with identifying people wearing masks. No We have a Your man. I'm Gavin. Do you want to be mad about something even though he said you weren't I'm actually Oh, don't I need to find my beat button Why the f*** is Skype on all my computers?

All of a sudden I gotta go around and I just saw Skype off them damn it Why the f*** is Skype on all my computers? All of a sudden, I gotta go around and I just store Skype off them. Damn it. And you need to beep that damn it. It. There you go. Dude, how do you do that? I need to know how you do that.

I just got a little mixer thing with a bleep button. Or also, yeah, that's a first world problem, isn't it? But yeah, they just put Skype on all the Windows computers, I guess. Why does that bother you so much, Gav? Why don't use it, even though I, you know, as an ex-spokesperson for Skype, and I don't use it because who has used Skype in the last five years? That's why I want to know. I had to do an outside production.

I had to have a remote call with some people to film something a couple of weeks ago. And now the annoying thing for me is now that it forced Skype on my computer, it also launches it every time my computer starts. And it's like, we had this group call from a few weeks ago when we filmed this thing. And now every time I launch it, it's like,

you have X unread messages in your group. Chad, I was like, I don't care about that anymore. It's for a thing I filmed, it's done. Like I had to go in to like the windows settings and stop it from launching it boot because every time I computer booted it was like hey you have these unread Skype messages like I don't give a those messages aren't for me. I would say it's bozzy in this day to day to install something on everyone's computer and launch it on startup without any mention of it. It launches it's startup. I'm sorry. It doesn't like it doesn't like launch it. What?

You'll uninstall it. Let me look at my control. Let me look at settings. I will uninstall it. I just haven't done on this one. Why is it? Oh, I write you have more than one. The two PC set up because we stream.

We stream from one and then we use the other PC as the gaming PC. Should I uninstall it while we're doing the podcast? Let's see if it works. We stream from one and then we use the other PC as the gaming PC. Should I go to console? But should I should I uninstall it while we're doing the podcast? Let's see if it works. Why not? I don't understand why you guys are writing like I guess. Yeah, let's see if it just connects me.

Why do we act too like Barbara? I don't know why you're acting. A fool. I don't know why you're acting like uninstall it. Uninstalling an app from your computer. We do. We do. We do.

Imagine if you had a draw like in your nightstand and I Acting like uninstalling an app from your computer. We do. We do. We do. Why lie? Imagine if you had a draw like in your nightstand and I snuck into your house and put a pie in there, right? You've got to take the pie out now. You didn't want the pie in there. OK, but here we go.

Here we go. What kind of pie though? Take a pie. Yeah. All right, now that's done with forever. All right. Right, except you've got three nightstands. And there's pies in all of them.

Gavin, we need to organize a hike. We're going to break into Barbara's house and we're going to put pies in all of her nightstands. Oh no, please don't do that. No, stop. What's your least favorite kind of pie Barbara? I oh, I hate apple pie. Yeah, okay. There we go. Oh Really apple pies everywhere. I hate warm gooey fresh apple pie. Yeah Now we know your greatest weakness. You what?

Now we know your greatest weakness. You what? I was trying to get us free apple pie. Oh, true. I mean, it's not bad. I was just unexpected. Same with that old thing. We do not talk shit about pie in this household. Trevor heard me talking shit.

He went, you what? But two barbers point, we did come up with a game. I think Eric came up with a game. Well, we had talked about maybe last week or the week before and it kind of plays into what the experience drew and I had together. It's like Eric put together a bunch of photos of celebrities wearing masks and then we have to try to figure out who it is wearing the mask. Okay. I mean, it's all of them. I'm Brendan Frazier. I hope one of them is Brendan Frazier.

That's a good guess. However, not right. I'm very sorry. But here's the thing. I want to give credit or credits to Justin Young. Our graphics guy made some very cool images. He took images of celebrities not wearing a mask and he put a mask on them. So Shane, if we can bring up that first one and you guys are going to guess who the celebrity is, how are we going to go with the guessing?

Are taking turns or we? Oh, no, just kind of talk amongst yourselves, figure it out. Who do you think play the graphic? There's no, there's no graphic for this one. I'm sorry. I don't know. There's no graphic. There's no.'s no graphic for this one. I'm sorry. All right, there's no graphic. There's no intro. If we could just take just show the picture. That's what it in chat. Someone's asking for the garbage. Nicholas Cage. Oh, that's the chat.

They want the they want the graphic in the chat. We're all in the same way. Like, there is that Nicholas Cage. I can't even see it clearly. Maryland Manson. I think I think you're right about Nicholas Cage. He's got in the eyes. Sporting a nice Rischschede's mask there. Yeah, I'm gonna say, um, Brendan Frazier. I'm gonna say Willie Nelson. Can you see that clearly enough to see who that is? It's a little blurry to me. I had to maximize my window.

Leap pace. Yeah, Willie Nelson. Willie Nelson is your guess. Barbara is saying Nicholas Cage. That's like 50 years younger than Willie Nelson Yeah, his head looks like his face looks like Nicholas cage the rest of him his body his outfit looks nothing like Nicholas cage So I'm trying to get some context clues cuz like there's a dude and like a flame retardant suit behind him Yeah, it's like a nasty party. Yeah, like who would be it like where no fear booth is like I got gotta, you gotta think, and then in cowboy hat and boot,

and turtleneck, maybe his cage. I, it feels like cage is fitting. Could also be, I'm not Brent Spiner. If I look at the actual receipt livestream, it's probably clearer there. Oh, that's a good shout. Oh, oh, yeah, that's Nicholas Cage.

Yeah. Okay, are we gonna, are we gonna say all of our guesses are in? Yeah. Yeah. All right. Let's do it. And let's have the reveal. Take the mask off. Oh, Nicholas Cage. Way to go, Barbara. Yeah. Barbara, you nailed it. You nailed it instantly. Yeah. That was weird that you knew that so fast. I, I know what people look like. I'm terrible with names,

but I guess I read enough celebrity gossip magazines to help people identify people in weird angles. You buy magazines? No, not anymore. I used to. I used to read those. Like when I was a teenager, like 15, 15. Okay, let's see the next one.

See if you get it instantly. Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga. Right? We are, but so, Okay, let's see the next one. See if you get it instantly lady Gaga lady Gaga Yeah, right we are but so and let's go ahead and review that is it's that actress from us from a star is born. Oh Let's let's show who it is It is lady Gaga. So what we're learning was the hypothesis is right that you can identify people Even if they're wearing a mask, but let's go to the next one. I could identify true. Okay, let's see Let's go to the next one just in case, you know, no, no, you might you might not be able to identify everyone Oh, Vin Diesel

No, no, no, this guy It's so hard to see on my computer. Also in sunglasses to Gus's point. Yeah, sunglasses also make it way more difficult. I don't know if I could identify this guy. I feel like the tattoo would give it away, but I don't recall anyone, any actor or musician or anyone with that kind of tattoo. Brendan Frazier.

Enough with the Brendan Frazier. Any guesses. I'm waiting to see the, oh, here we go, the higher resolution version on, uh, there we go. The RST stream. Oh, shit, I pulled my stream. Oh, man. Yeah, we're sure she's dream. Oh shit, I pose my stream. Oh man any guesses a lot of chat is saying Vin Diesel Is it no, I was thinking to pop two pop

No I was I was thinking maybe DMX, but I don't know the DMX DMX is like the only one I could think it might be because I feel like it has a lot of tattoos, right? I feel like I haven't seen a recent photo of DMX. I haven't seen a photo of him from the past several years. Oh, look at that. Chad is now saying DMX, a lot of Jason's stay them.

It's a lot of, it's not Jason's. That is not Jason's stay. I don't Jason's stay them. It's a lot of you. So Jason's not Jason's. I don't Jason's. Stay them does not have that tattoo. Uh, I'm going to go with DMX. Yeah, I'm interested. Chad, do you want to have a reveal what his name is DMX? You were right. I wouldn't really know that.

I don't think I know what he looks like. I know that he has some tattoos. You don't know what DMX looks like. I don't know I know what he looks like. I know that he has some tattoos. You don't know what DMX looks like. I don't know what DMX looks like. I don't know what DMX sounds like. I don't know what Jason State looks like apparently either. I'm apparently. It did look like Vin Diesel for a split second. Let's go to the next one. Let's see, because now we're now we're getting into some shady territory here. Let's let's go to the next one. Let's see because now we're now we're getting into some shady territory here Let's let's see if you guys can identify this person Hmm, is that uh, that's Chris Chris Hamstwares. Yeah, it's one of the hymns worth boys, but which one Chris?

It's not Luke How many hymns worse there's like nine hymns words I Think you're out dead. I think you're dead on it's Chrisns worth. It's not a Pratt. I guess it has to drop. It could be Chris Pratt. It's a little more cargo shorts than this, dude. His motorcycle boots. That's an observation. So let's get final guesses in. Who do you think this person is?

That is Willie Nelson. Oh, actually, stop saying what he knows. I'm actually, I think once you pointed Chris Prattatt out now I can't not see it as Chris Pratt So I'm gonna go with Chris Pratt It could be Pratt like look at his forehead No, it's the eyebrows that are giving it away. Yeah, that can't be Chris Pratt Why not we got explain why it's because it's Willie Nelson Reveal who it is.

It's not Willie Nelson. It is Chris Pratt. Oh, wow. You guys got one. You guys are very good at this. I thought learning a lot that you can only hide behind so much. If you had sunglasses on, I think maybe that would be a little bit tough. Terrible photo, Chris Pratt.

No, I was convinced that was not there. It looks better than me, that. That looks like Chris Pratt stunt double. No, I'm just saying like how his face is like Well, I mean, he's not please just walk it on with some shopping Let's go to the next celebrity and see who it is. We live two more. See who this celebrity is That's a celebrity? I miss Andy. That is definitely Andy Cortez.

That was a what everyone do last week. Uh, huh. Oh, I started watching a show on Netflix that Jeff recommended to me. It's a game show called, I forget about the whole title.

I think it's like, awake the million dollar game show. Have any of you seen this yet? Oh, is this where people are counting quarters? Yes. Yeah, fuck that show. So they lock people in a room with a million dollars worth of quarters. And for 24 hours, they have to count quarters. So they have to count four million coins?

Well, no, they count as much as they can in 24 hours. And after 24 hours, they pull like the seven contestants out. And whoever counted the least amount of money is eliminated. And whoever is the most off in their count is eliminated. And then the remaining five people all have to do the austerity-based games and challenges since they're all sleep deprived. And whoever does the worst gets eliminated and they keep going until finally there's only one person left. And the last person, they tell them congratulations you've won, you've

won all the money you counted in the 24 hours. Or if you want, if you think your count is less than $500 off from the actual amount of money that you took, then you can bet it all and win everyone's money. So like let's say they bet. They bet their money and it conceivably can win everybody's money. And they say, okay, congratulations. You've won all the money. Everyone counted over 24 hours. You can either leave with that or if your count is less than $25 off, you can bet it and then you can win a million dollars. How much of the episode is just people like 5, 6, 7, 5, 5, 6, 7, like how many minutes of TV do you get? They just montage that. They just montage the 24 hours. Like how high could you count in 24 hours? I couldn't count to a million. I feel like you

have some count to 100,000 if anybody had some count to a million. I feel like you had some, like, a hundred thousand in that. If anybody had some sort of weird trick, it would be you, Gavin, where you were like, oh, I just did it backwards and inverted. And now I'm about like, not about $4 million. I was like, I figured it out. I think I probably, I'd probably figure out like, if I make some type of shape with my hand,

like how many quarters fits in that and test that out a few times and be like, then count it that way. And do some type of multiplication system, not obviously counting like individuals or even like picking up stacks of four or whatever it is. I don't think I can count to 50,000 without balancing it. Some people, I think at best, you can see count to around 30 to 40,000 dollars. But like they'll win that money, but if they think their count is fairly accurate, they

could win that time seven because there's seven people counting Wow But some people don't count nearly as much as the other people But yeah, and some of the b-roll that of like they'll show people counting during the 24 hours Like you'll see people's hands are just like black and filthy from handling all of the All of the quarters. Yeah, it's It's really gross. But it's, it's a really good show.

It's a really good show. It's a really good show. It's a really good show. It's a really good show. It's a really good show. It's a really good show. It's a really good show. It's a really good show.

It's a really good show. It's a really good show. It's a really good show. It's a really good show. It's a really good show. It's a really good show. It's a really good show. It's a really good show.

It's a really good show. It's a really good show. It's a really good show. It's a really good show. It's a really good show. It's a really good show. It's a really good show. I feel like I would count. I would put all of the quarters in a sock. And I would count how many can fit in my sock. And then I would just do it based on socks. Get you allowed to do that. I feel like socks are stretchy though. There's some leeway there for how much you can. Within maybe 10 to 20 coins,

you could fit a similar amount in each sock. But then I would worry that over the course of 24 hours, the elasticity gives out and they're able to fit more and more in. Yeah, but if it lasts, the elasticity will be maxed on the weight of a full sock anyway. So you're saying like, it was like, I know they should do, but it's not like a stack, like a certain height stack before it topples over and then just recreate that stack. And every time a topples at the same point.

Yeah, but I just like it gets to the say like you keep one for the like control and then match the other one. So let's say like this stack is $5 worth or whatever. You just keep doing that. Yeah, I think the fear is then that your stack tumbles over or like because you're sleep deprived. You might knock it over or bang the table or something Pomegran coach. I'm fucking ready for this

Measure it against you measured against like a part of your body. So it's always like the same amount of corners Yeah, you like lay you can lay like 10 quarters on your forearm scoop dump and then it's one forearms worth every time And it's like a very mechanical you can. And you can like really start cruising. Yeah, you'd have to figure out a way that didn't involve counting. Yeah. Right. I mean, just knowing like this height I have here is $5.

Let me just leave that here. And then just grab a bunch of quarters. You're going to count them. Just see if it's the same height. And you know that's $5. Just skip it. Also, I would count two quarters and then scream the whole time, other numbers, so that the other contestants fucked up their numbers.

And then just be like, yeah, I'm definitely within the $500 That's wrong because I only got two bucks. And then you just take everybody else's money. How do they do that in a room, though? That'd be like tons, literally tons of... It's a huge container, of course. I mean, it's like a swimming pool. It looks like that's filled with quarters. But the big rain drew up in here. The other thing is like the dexterity challenges.

And from what Jeff told me, Jeff already saw that. So he said that they never repeat any of the dexterity challenges. So you never know what you're gonna get. Like it's always something different. So it's like, it's not like anything you can prepare for. Someone said something in chat. I was going to comment on. That sounds cool. Some people miss the name of the show.

It's called Awake. Awake. Great. Yeah, it might be called Awake, the Million Dollar Game Show, or something. You just look for Awake. But the people are so sleep deprived that they're also doing talking head interviews with them. And in the first episode, there's one contestant who's interviewed and they're talking to them. They're like, do you want to know how much money, you know,

you say you counted $25,000. Do you want to know how much money you actually counted? And she's like, yeah. And they say, you actually count, you know, the count was actually $24,383. And she's like, 83. How did I end up with 83 for counting quarters? It's like oh Their brains are just so Really entertaining show it's a good way to go way to kill some quarantine time I've been watching that that alone the show alone on history channel alone the million dollar challenge. Yeah You're going alone right now you on the alone game. No you caught up. Oh, it's fucking great. It's the it's it's almost as good of a quarantine show as Perry Mason

It's just people go out into the woods by themselves and film alone in the woods for as long as they can. And this season is exactly and this season is you have to make it at least a hundred days in the Arctic. Did I say that right, Gus? Yeah, you got it. You're good. Yeah. So you have to make it at least a hundred, a hundred days and you might win a million dollars. And it's just been like, oh, yeah, a million dollars. Yeah, you like, I don't know how you knew all the details. No, it's just taking the piss out of the title of the last show.

It's, yeah, it's always a million dollars. What's keeping you from winning though? Like you say you might win a million dollars. So is it just you got to get through the time period? That's the thing is, because the other seasons have just been whoever's the last last man standing. This one is, you have to make the hundred days

and then I assume it's last man standing. So if's this one is you have to make the hundred days and then I assume it's last man standing so if somebody else makes a hundred days then you're in a real you're in a day off. Yeah it says I'm reading like the the history channel website about it and they say that over six seasons no one's ever lasted that long no one's ever done the hundred days. No no one. That long no one's ever done the hundred days no no one My My phone Jesus Christ what is going on? Before Well, I'm reading chat on my phone is what is going on is like where's my phone? I keep looking at chat Me like where's my phone? I'm looking at chat on my where is it neat?

There's a I've been watching Naked and Afraid as well, which is kind of similar to alone, but totally different. There's not a million dollars. It's just you have to stay in the wilderness. And this season, they have to stay in the wilderness for 40 days. Like, in they're in South Africa and they're naked

and they have nothing. Like, I think they have like a pot so they can boil water. And like, that's it. Like, maybe they have nothing. Like, I think they have like a pot so they can boil water. And like, that's it. Like, maybe they have a knife. And it's just like, out, out like in the heat, like they show it's like 120 degrees in the heat of the day. It's like, you're just naked out there. Like, I guess, hopefully I get to eat something soon.

What are you doing with your bollocks and stuff? And your cock. You just hang it out there. I can't help it. I hope you don't get them sunburned. You're a little bit more like a ballax and stuff and you're cock. You just hang it out there. Just hang it out there. I hope you don't get them sunburn. Some people though I think have made clothing and stuff and started to cover up with on previous episodes.

Like in this season, one woman, the top of her feet got sunburned. And so she couldn't walk anymore because it's her to walk because like just the tops of her feet were sunburned. So she had to like try to find feathers to cover them that way the they wouldn't get further sunburned. Yeah, I feel like if I if my John Thomas was out in the blazing sun all day I would immediately like gobble over it and then dunk it in sand or something to try and get a lot of them get mud like if there's a water hole nearby they'll cover cover themselves in mud. To try to block the sun. Just Gavin casually dropping the fat that he would gobble over his own dick.

And then you go to evidence. You got to stick stuff to it, right? Why don't you just tuck it in? Do you really just tuck it in? I'll walk around like my penis will tuck that. You walk around like Buffalo Bill the whole time. You do a buffalo bill the whole time you knew a little bottle Yeah, they get afraid and tucked Then they had to use a bit of it might get burned from the other side just the tip just the tip from the backside

It's a long skinny dick you got there I've had the tops of my feet some before and that shit is not fun. You wouldn't think it would be that bad, but my God, every movement that your foot makes, the burn just gets worse and worse. It sucks. I've always real madized the going out, reading hatchet as a kid or my side of the mountain, I was like, I could do that.

And then watching alone, I'm like, yeah, get that guy out of here. That bear is not going to be a problem for his camp. And then I went camping the other day by myself. Like, I went by myself with a dog and didn't last a night in the tent. Had to get in the door and was like, there's bears. And I called, I called Ali and she was like, there are no bears anywhere near where you are, dude. Like, you were just freaking out. I was just, she was like, the dog got dog going like barely growling.

I was like, what we got to go to the truck. I'm going to die by bear in central Texas. Well, bears have been spotted for like 200 years. I don't know if I'd want to go camping alone. That seems scary, although I am a woman. So it's 10 times scarier for me than it is for any of you guys. What with bears? Just, you know, men. Spooky dudes.

That's why. Just an entire group of people that want to murder me or do other things. It's only a half the population, right? It's only half the population. So Drew and I have been bonding over, kind of bonding over our... You call me Poppy one more time. I'm out. I'm out. We've been watching Perry Mason on HBO and it makes us both incredibly uncomfortable when his his love interest calls him poppy. So I've been I've been calling Drew poppy all

every chance I get. It's it's both like it's my favorite quarantine. It's the both like best of both worlds. Like it sometimes it's like really violent and crazy and it feels like Sin City and like whoa, it's a lot. And sometimes it's just fucking goofy. And then like the music's all weird. And like nobody's like, I can't, I keep trying to get blame or Andrew to watch it because I'm like, guys, just somebody talk to me about it.

So like I finally like slacked Gus to the day. I was like, are you watching Perry Mason? He was like, yes, I was like, thank God. I just want somebody to talk to about this fucking show. It's a. And I have them. Yeah, and we've been talking about it. It's good.

I'm not like, there's some things that I don't like about it. But for the most part, it's, it's pretty good. It feels like one of those pulp, like a pulp novel from like the 30s or 40s. Or it's just like CD and like not well written, but kind of good. It's also extraordinarily graphic. They'll, they'll, they'll, they obviously work on a special effect that work to make something fucked up and then they'll make you look at it. Like, yeah. Like, there's a character who gets shot in the face with a shotgun and like, they kind of show it from afar and you're like,

oh, that's gross. Thank God, they're not showing that anymore. And then they punch in and show it even closer. And then Perry makes it like walks up and puts his finger in the gas. Like, fingers wiggles that are out of love. And you're like, oh, why? Why? Why do we have to see this? It's so needlessly gross. Yeah. But it's like the special effects team is like, look how hard we work. Look how good this looks. Yeah, I mean, it does look good, but yeah, it's a it's a it's intense. I mean, there's also like in the first episode, there's a dude running down the street with his dick just flopping around.

Just out here. Just out. It's like, all right, whatever. Just naked and afraid and out. It. Just like, all right, whatever. Just naked in a friend and out. It's a good show. I watched this week's episode. I finished last of us, too, which I would now that I finished it, I would say excellent game.

I love that. Masterpiece level. One thing I really like, because I always like little touches that they add to the games and I feel like they did a lot of like cool things like Characters afraid of heights so that when you get near an edge they start like breathing heavily freaking out This bits where like if you're stealthy and you've been running the breathing like becomes Muted like they're trying to not alert the person so they go from like to like close mouth breathing like and it's like proximity based like all that stuff I really liked and one of the things I also liked was the the enemies talking about each other like if one of them dies they'll be like Oh shit Pete's dead and it actually is like it feels more real that way because like they come check on people and like yeah, like you get you feel like they know each other

But in the last bit of the game. I was just crafting Explosive arrows left and right and I was just like And I just hit I hit some dude like right in the in the chest his cup up a half just blew up like dripping off the ceiling And he was just two legs and then someone came round went Shit, they got Pete and I was like no legs and then someone came round and went shit they got Pete and I was like no way you know that's Pete right now you get that is this is Pete's Pete's favorite pants there's a Pete's boots and it was cracking me up as his bits we're just dripping off the ceiling once again incredibly gruesome game and I love it. There's a, yeah, I mean, there's a portion in that game when I'm gonna try to phrase this

in as non of a spoilery way or as possible, but there's a portion of the game where you are in the hospital and you're trying to find someone and you sneak up on an enemy and it's like a cutscene and you know, you pull out your knife and you're like, we're so and so and she's like, oh, they're upstairs're upstairs. And you've got this enemy, you've got this other human being at knife point. And you wonder, oh, is your main character just going to murder this person? But then of course, the enemy pulls out a knife and tries to stab you. And of course, then you stab them and kill them. It's like, how did you come about constructing this particular scene? Because what would have happened if the enemy didn't pull the knife?

Like, how do they portray your character? Is your character a straight-up murderer? Which your character have just killed this person and kept going on their way? Which your character has said, you can leave. Don't make any noise. It's just like walking that fine line between being a good, quote, unquote, good person, you know, or being just a psychotic killer, right?

Which I think that game plays with a bunch. Like there's a lot of that, like those choices and stuff like that. Well, the thing that I don't want to spoil too much but you play as two different characters. I didn't realize I only played video games one way, which is poorly. So I didn't realize they had different tactics. So I just played the same shitty way, but then someone was like, oh yeah, they have different. Like, she's she's super buff and is way better at like melee attacks and like

Ellie's better at like sneaking through the grass attacks and she's like, oh, duh. Like why didn't Gavin, when you played, did you, did you use the different character advantages or not really? I would always, I was pretty much always have the same approach. And that would be like to use stealth. And I was like super into the arrows, like with the, the bow and the crossbow. I would do that until it, until I messed up and it all kicked off every time. So I wouldn't ever like charging with melee or I also didn't,

I didn't like sneak around in the grass and like shank people. I was always just like silent ranged either with the silence or the bow for as long as possible until I ran out of arrows or bullets or I missed and it all went mental. That's pretty much how I took every single section. I love using the bow in that game. Gavin, do you have a D&D ever? Nah, I feel like you would like it.

I feel like Gavin would be a Dungeon Master's worst nightmare. Like, he would be like, I want to try this or I want to do this. Be like, fuck, I'm fine. I'm roll by the time. I guess we'll have to figure it out. Yeah, I feel like every time there's been content, like D&D based content at this company, everyone's immediately be like, not you.

You wouldn't like this, so like, you're not right for this, I'm like, okay, I mean, I've never tried it, all right, sure. I feel like you would. Drew, I feel like you would be very analytical, which is like a great type of person to have on your team, trying to actually figure out what the hell's going on. Gavin, I feel like you would play the same way Chris does,

which is like absolutely no consideration for the rules or people's time. It's just like, let me just feel like I have consideration for people's time. You do, you do. And I'm not trying to say Chris doesn't, but Chris is like, he'll just kind of like barrel in with one type of mindset that he wants to get done. She's like,

and he's playing like a character, so he's in character the whole time, like trying to like bother people or ask for money or get money out of stuff. Like, what's in it for me? Essentially, I don't understand. So we're playing obviously a D&D game that we've been releasing weekly and I don't I don't understand why Your party is trusting one character with all the money like they they they got into a huge fight because Chris After like a portion of the game Chris wanted his share of the money and the rest of the party was like no We'll let Jessica's character carry it. It's like, I don't understand where you all are splitting it up. Well, good to know.

Let me write that down to be reminded of to bring up on Thursday. It's just so weird. And then you all got mad at Chris for wanting to take his portion of the money. And I was like, he just wants his money. I think we're just like, we're nervous about everything in that game.

So we want to like, all right, you have the money. I don't want to worry about this. It's not in my inventory. I don't even want to think about anything else. So we want to like, all right, you have the money. I don't want to worry about this. It's not in my inventory. I don't even want to think about anything else. So maybe that's why we're just inexperienced. It's what it's funny to me. I'm like, okay, we'll roll with it. We'll keep doing it.

I feel like a lot of it, I feel like I'd want to try off camera first. Yeah, same. Just for fun. Because I honestly find, especially cause like this company has put out a ton of D&D at this point. I don't wanna be like learning in the middle of, all the audience is already like with it.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. I think having new players helps serve as a gateway for potential audience who don't know the game or don't understand it. So it's like they're learning along with you as you learn the game, which is I think kind of the approach we're taking with Dias Cast where we had a lot of inexperienced players jumping into the game. So that way if people aren't familiar with the indie already, they kind of like are learning along with the party and learning

about new abilities and stuff. Yeah, that's fair. That play. Yeah, but of course I mean that the downside is that you get a lot of backseat drivers who are like, oh, why didn't you do this or you should do this? And, you know, it's like, obviously, everyone's still learning and keeping track of all of their different abilities. So, it's just something you got to balance. I did, it's so funny because I was talking to Travis McElroy, who some of you might be familiar with the McElroy brothers.

They do a ton of content, including a very popular Dentions and Dragons podcast called the Adventure Zone. I believe that's what it's called. I don't mean to get out of my ass, okay. And I was talking to him at a convention that we were both at and I asked him, I was like, hey, we're starting up D&D soon. Do you have any advice for me? And he goes, the comments will always have people complaining about the way you

did something or didn't do something because everyone plays D&D a very specific way to them. And everyone has like their own way of playing with their friends and the way they grew up playing. And so everyone will have very different opinions on how you should be playing too. And so he basically told me like, don't worry about that. Just have fun. Like don't worry about necessarily what the comments are telling you to do or not to do. Just enjoy it. And I've been trying, I've also been trying to abstract some of it from the party. Or it's like, you know, instead of having them, instead of forcing them to say, like,

I want to do, I want to use this skill to accomplish this goal. I'll let it be more open ended like, I'll let them say, I wish I could do this. I'm like, okay, well, just roll the dice and then I'll figure out, you know, how to plug it all in. I'll figure out the math. I'll figure out the back end. I'll just tell you if it worked or didn't work. That's nice. So yeah, that way it's just more like you're left to be more creative. You're left to be more like, I want to punch this person, then I want to shoot this person, then I want to shoot this person, then I want to roll over here. But it's also overwhelming having so many possibilities for your decision.

There are many times, especially in the last game we played, where it was just me, John, and Jessica playing, how you're just like, yeah, you're in this town. What do you want to do? And it's like, leave, stay, shop, I don't know. Like everything felt like the wrong decision to make.

I think what made it difficult was that every possibility to advance the story, you all kept rolling bad on. Like every dime all is so bad. So it's like, well, I can't, like you keep failing these checks. I was like, well, I can't do what I wanna do. It's like, maybe you should go somewhere else. Maybe you should do these checks. I was like, well, I can't do what I want to do. It's like, maybe you should go somewhere else.

Maybe you should do something else. Yeah, you have to do a lot of hand holding for us. Yeah, it's like, can you get late? Sure, why not? We have talked about pegging a couple of times. A couple of times, every fucking episode, you're always talking about it. Just roll for pegging.

Can you roll like a... Just, you're running away from a demon through a tunnel. And it's like, I don't want to get pegged right now. Well, you got to have your long rests, you know, you don't know what happens during those long rests. You got to regain those spell slots. I actually find that it's, I think it's, it's been really fun to do during quarantine. I think the Dungeon Dragon Show dies cast just because it's like total fantasy game, total escapism. I feel like we only play for two hours.

So those two hours fly. Like, you know, we start and then the next thing I know it's like, oh, well, we got to wrap up the show is over. It's a really good time killer. I think if people want to learn how to play D&D, you know, this is actually do it. You can play remotely. You know, there's, you know, there's a really good time killer. I think if people want to learn how to play D&D,

they should actually do it. You can play remotely. There's utilities you can use online to play with your friends. You don't have to worry about meeting up or you can maintain your social distance. I think it's a fantastic game for that people to try out and play and really have fun with your friends.

I think it might be the project I look forward to most every week, just because like we all sit around in the laugh and kill time for two hours and it just flies by. What do you think this is? This I have, this is weird. It's like we have to, this is a lot more real life, you know? This is more like, oh, what do we talk about? I don't know, coronavirus deaths are up.

It's also like, you have a plan. Like, you basically have a storyline that you're following more or less. I'll be honest, I had something that I've never had before last night. I had an anxiety dream about the podcast. Oh, I have those regularly. I like, I was late. And then my camera wasn't working, which actually does happen almost every week. My camera doesn't work.

And then Eric was yelling at me. You were yelling at me. I was like, yeah, let me just reboot. And then I guess like 20 minutes had passed in the dream. And I was like, did I not go back to the podcast after I did it? And I was like, oh, shit. They're probably just like in the middle of the podcast. And I just forgot.

And I was like, what was I doing for 20 minutes? And I was really confused. And I was freaking out. I was trying to get back. My computer wouldn just forgot. And I was like, what was I doing for 20 minutes? And I was like, and I was freaking out. I was trying to get back my computer wouldn't turn on. I was panicking. I was like, I didn't think I've had an anxiety dream about work or school in ages. I get it for like big shoots, but they're never, I guess that this not like office work.

I never know what the shoot is gonna be like, but I know what the podcast is gonna be like. I was like, why am I freaking out about this? Do you guys want the best sleep ever of all time? Yes. Always. I don't know if you guys have this yet. I know it was a big thing a while ago, especially because Bernie brought it up on the podcast years ago, but waited blankets. Trevor bought a new one because I bought one for his birthday a couple of years ago, but it wasn't the greatest.

It had pockets of sand that would move around. So sometimes the sand would kind of like clump up into these hard balls within the blanket. But this one is a lot more evenly distributed. He got one that fits our entire king size bed that we could share. Oh hell yeah. It is, it's amazing. I think it's only 20 pounds total, so it's not super heavy. Do you know what?

I feel like you get a clammy. This one, I don't know what it's made from, but it breathes really well. I'll probably have to get the link from Trevor if you're interested, but it breathes really well. I don't get sweaty at all. I don't know what magic powers it possesses but it's great and like you literally sleep like a baby in that thing. My complete is I want one that's heavier. I will get one that's heavier. I think that was the lightest one. I have a 20 pound one but I want

a like I want to have 40 pound one. I think there's some restrictions on it just based off like your actual safety. They want you to be able to get out if necessary. Well, that's the safety that you might be able to get up. I thought it'd be like, you couldn't breathe well. Is it like an emergency evacuation situation when you like stuck under a blanket? How did he die doing what he loved?

Sleeping under a blanket. Dude, that's how I want to go. Yeah Before before we get to for I just want to do one last quick shout I want to give a big thank you to Ben and Christian on the broadcast team who help out with dice cast every week They've been writing the homebrew campaign that we're doing now We do for the past couple of weeks and I think they're doing a really good job They've put together something great. And we started out with a like a pre-made campaign, but we've transitioned to something that Benny Christian are working on.

I think I think they're really doing great work. So thanks guys. This episode of RISC podcast is brought to you by Staps.com. Back in the early days of RISC, Jeff ran the RISC store all by himself.

Is there anything that you prefer now that we're at home, not that we're newly at home, but is there anything that like you'll miss from this when we go back to work? The anonymity.

I could be doing anything in between my, like just not a half could be. Sure, or just like as soon as like the gaps, when you're at work, there's my office door and people can come by and be like, what is he doing? Is he working? Is he doing business? You don't know, I and be like, what is he doing? Is he working? You're doing business?

You don't know. I could be like, I could go on a walk. I could take a call. And the fact that you can take calls and not be visible is also nice for you. You just be like, on a call, on a walk. I think that'd be the big, big ad mess. I've really enjoyed being able to do like,

slow-mo related work underneath achievement and to work because it's like, I'm using my workstation to play games on, so I can be like, have this like transfer going, or I can be like transcoding footage, and then I'm just like, I got GTA over the top of it,

and I can just alt tab and see what, see how it's going. I can never do that work. And that's, I guess, I missed that. There are some things that are like, really nice about it. Just, I mean, working obviously like, with Trevor in the same space is really nice about it. Just I mean, working obviously like with Trevor in the same space is really nice just getting to see him more often throughout the day. And also there's like some content that we

never really got the opportunity to make when we were back in the office. Like we started doing some gameplay content, but out a raft video, which is super fun. But being able to make content like that, we didn't really have machines or anything set up for it at the office and it was never something we Really thought about doing but now that we're working from home There's only so much we could make like we can't really do a hybrid action shorts in the situation we're in So we've had to kind of pivot to more strategic content for the situation and I feel like I had a lot of fun with it I feel like achievement hunter was certainly the luckiest

with the pivot at homework. Like there's aside from like chucking moon balls at each other's heads, there's very little that we can't do from home. And like between the games I guess is a little more difficult. Yeah, but the thing is we got so many that we just never put out.

Like my phone is full of them. Well, look at that. We've been struggling with RT life. We've done a couple, and there's still more in the pipeline that we're excited about that we did from home. But that's a harder one to do because you're not just around each other fucking about all day. So stuff like that doesn't really come naturally.

Unfortunately. I'm glad that raft video we made finally came out. We filmed a couple of them. It was a lot of fun. It's funny reading the comments. We were like, oh my god. It's super the most fun. People liked it.

People were saying, oh, it's painful to watch them. They don't know what they're doing. We do show improvement. I think we get. I did see a lot of comments. It's painful to watch, but I love it. it's all a lot of that of people just like man They're clearly so new at this game, but it's really entertaining So thank you to all those people who are patient with that. Yes, I think over the course of even that first episode

You start to see that it starts to click for us and like it's starting to make sense and as the episodes continues like Oh, you know, it's it's definitely a lot more we're a lot more clear on what we need to be doing and how we need to be doing it know, it's definitely a lot more, we're a lot more clear on what we need to be doing and how we need to be doing it. Oh, man, that's funny. Yeah, we definitely do better. I think we've, we filmed three of them so far. Is it three? Four.

One of them has a special guest. Yeah. I think it's three, but it's, it's funny even watching the first one and see how we've gotten better since then filming the other two. But yeah, I had to, I had to get Cameron to cut so many moments of me going, how do I do this? How do I do that? How do I do? Where how do I get that? Yeah, see that was that was my fear about like jumping into a D&D series is that like especially with arc you've already got a lot of the audience have seen achievement hunt and do it. So

To then start again that that's like terrifying Yeah, and that's something that I've I've seen before that I every now and then I get the compel, I feel compelled to address it. Sorry, my brain is like off today. I always find it interesting when, especially within the Rooster Chiefs sphere, you know, there's a Chief Mahan or there's Rooster Chiefs, there's Fun House, there's Animation, like the direct groups that have their own channels and stuff like that. Of course, there's gonna be some crossover,

especially now that we're doing more gameplay, we're probably gonna end up playing games that you guys have played because you have been playing video games for 10 years on that channel. So it's been going on a long time. But to me, what's always interesting is seeing a certain group's take on a game

or take on a certain type of video. And I see a lot of people being like, oh, they're just rehashing what achieve my hunter is done. It's like, not really. I mean, this is a fun game that we enjoyed playing and it's our group doing it. It's like, I love watching this, like, different people do the same thing, especially like, I will watch other people's let's plays of like especially like single player campaigns just so I can see how other people handled certain parts. Even like down to fun house doing GTA heists, it was fun watching them get stuck on a bit that we didn't even realize was difficult and then the other way around where we like

ruin in ourselves and they just like breeze through it's really interesting watching two groups do the same thing in my opinion. Yeah I agree. So I don't think we should be scared about a completely different group of people tackling the same content. It's also it's been years. It's also video games like it's no offense to a team hunter. They did not invent let's place. They did not invent playing games on YouTube. So while people might try the argument of they're just trying to be a chief hunter, it's like, well, first of all, people love a chief hunter. I don't know why we wouldn't want to do stuff

that they're also doing. But you guys didn't invent the idea of playing video games. So I apologize if you have that feeling towards us. I'm hoping that you'll check it out at least because we've had a lot of fun making it. And yeah, just give it a give it a shot. I'm hoping that you'll check it out at least because we've had a lot of fun making it and Yeah, just give it a give it a shot. I went back and watched because we were talking about last week I so went back and watch the first last of Gus video that we made in 2014 it's it's really good. It's like really compelling because that was when we were playing the shit out of it not recording it so we were actually all

Just pulling off these sneaky bips and just like blasting through the other team. It was really excited. We were good at that game. I mean, we put it a lot of time into that man. And then for the Roulette's play, that happened like three years later, which I also watched. We were not as good. No, we suck. Oh, no, it was so, so disappointing. It's like, oh no. That was so, so disappointing. It's like, it's also at that point, if people are still playing the multiplayer for that game, like that many years later, you know that they were probably fucking really good at it.

Yeah. Ah, terrible. It's sad when you see yourself like, I don't remember when we played it the second time. I was like, I don't remember how to play this game. Like switching between weapons and the crappy equipment. At one point Ryan asks how to reload. The skill fate.

And the bus still isn't there. Yeah, to be fair, the reload in that game is not intuitive. You pulled the trigger while you're not aiming down sites. Yeah. Not great. Yeah, it's like shoot without looking is reload. Right. It's not a common way to reload in video games.

Oh, is anybody on ghosts of sushi? No, yeah, is anybody started that game? Not yet. OK, I'm so curious about it. I really want to know if I should, because I'm not, again, not good at video games. I enjoy them, but very poor at them. I could purchase the game, but I just want to know if it like I've heard great things

about the combat I've heard, but it sounds like kind of dark soulsy to me. So I'm a little trepidacious about a full because I never buy new games. The last of us to is the first new game I bought in the last eight months. So this was the next one I was thinking about purchasing. So if you guys have any, you know anything about it. I forget it's good. I haven't played it myself,

but I've heard a lot of people talking about it, which usually is a good indicator. Yeah, it looks beautiful, and you get to play with the sword the whole time. So I'm gonna be happy with it. I just, swing. with it. I just Shwing. I think something I've realized during this quarantine period is I am very

Impressionable and very easily convinced to try something just if you guys talk about it being good Uh last week we had Adam Kovagon and he mentioned the show called search party. That's on hbomax Trevor and I are already halfway through season two. You have, you have personally mentioned it to me three times. Just in passing. I'm like, have you seen Search Party? It's like, yeah, you, you, you, it's because now I want to find other people who've watched it. Yeah. Because like, I already texted Adam. I've already exhausted my resources. Search Party is your Perry Mason. It's, it's so good. Yeah, I did the same with factorial. When I just played that for two weeks straight and then never touched it again, because I was told about it.

Guess what, Gavin? What? I played my first multiplayer factorial game today. We were, I guess some people were, we're filming earlier today. And John and I wanted to film a video game. Let's play and we're like, oh, let's try out factorial multiplayer. You did it with John? I did it with John Reisinger.

We filmed it. What the f***? With John Reisinger? It's gonna be son of a... The delay! Great trip, Foss. The fun. I love I would love people listening to this podcast are watching it later on YouTube being like oh they're bleeping the podcast now No, we already got that let's plays where I'm just bleeping myself And the editor has to write that's not me

You looking for the button is my favorite part of it There it is. Great. Me. It. I'll be honest, I'm like a 9 out of 10 podcast mad and like 3 out of 10 really mad that I was not involved in this. Let's do it. I would do it. Let's do it. Just like how we watched Crystal Palace play. Oh my God. Are you living? Are you living in the past? Are we going to talk about something fun we can do? Yes, it's, it's got sat on my ass for 100 straight days.

All I can do is live in the past guys. Gavin, I have, I have something fun that might show you up that I wanted to ask you about. So you know love Island. Obviously you and I have talked about on the podcast many times and both watch it. Yeah. So, are you still watching it? I'm on season four.

I've watched it. By the way, let me say this, you didn't watch one and two, right? I did not. There's so much better than three and four. One and two, they don't cut away when people start shagging. You'd like see them like, wow plowing each other under the covers. You hear the like the smacking sounds and people, it's like pornographic.

Three and four, they just, they just like, oh, someone will say the next day, oh yeah, we had a little last night. And it's like, oh, they're not so shit. That's true. What happened? And they switched the villa. Well, yeah, they switched the villa, I think in four. Right? Well, one and two were the same villa, three and four were switched the villa. Well, yeah, they switched the villa I think in four, right? Well, one and two with the same villa,

three and four with the same villa. Well, something that Trevor and I like to do. So you know, whenever you start a new episode of Love Island, they show like a recap and then the announcer guy comes on and goes, he's in sterling. Ian goes, tonight. Yeah, no laughing. But we always try to guess what kind of tonight Installing Ian goes tonight But we always try to guess what kind of tonight he's gonna deliver

It's like the moon tonight So nice is a little more mysterious like tonight or tonight You never know you're gonna get what what are you watching now? We so I think we jump to the most The newest season I think which is season six, but we watched like two or three episodes and then we haven't watched since So maybe we'll jump back to one and two Just I feel like the more I watch the more sad I am that Caroline Flack is dead. Yeah, dude. It's like, I can't believe it. Like watching it that that happened. I told Trevor when we were watching one of the seasons, I was like, you know, she died and

I think it was February of this year or yeah, I think it was this year. Maybe last year. But it's crazy to see her just doing her thing, just normal and just know that she's, you know, not with us anymore. It's crazy. Yeah. Yeah, what's February? You're right. February? Mm-hmm. Yeah. You never know what's going on with people. Be good, be nice to people. You never know what's going on with people. Be good, be nice to people. Yeah, I feel like just the end of last of us, that was like a good, it was a nice message to be like, make the most of the people who you've got around you,

like while they're around. And that was like one of the messages I took from the game. So I was like, yeah, we really should all do that. And that's what is kind of frustrating about, you know, being stuck in one place at the moment. We really should all do that. And that's what is kind of frustrating about you know being stuck in one place at the moment. Yeah. But oh well, we'll get through it. Well, especially not to kind of bring more of a downer to the podcast, but last week there was two huge deaths in the entertainment industry. It was um, Grant Yamhera from Mythbusters. Oh, yeah.

Has to weigh of a brain, was it a brain aneurysm? Is an aneurysm, I believe, yeah. And then a Naya Rivera, sorry, for some reason, I blanked on her last name. You might know her from Glee. She also died, I guess. Oh, right, yeah. Building accident with her, her, she's on a, a boat with her child and then I,

they found the child alone and then searched for her for a couple of days and found her, her body and the water. But it's just, it rocks you to think like people around your age, if not younger, could just, it's done without any sort of like health issues or warning, it's just gone. And it really kind of makes you think what really matters in life and to really like live every day the fullest you can because my god life is short and it could be really short if you're not careful. Or just without, against your control.

Yeah, I mean, yeah, an aneurysm scary. I think Grant E. Mahara was 49, which is, you know, not that much older than me. And, you know, he's just think like you could think you're fine. And then just out of the blue, something happens like that. Just totally out of your, out of your control. Yeah. I'm, I bet him once at one of the events that we did, we spent a some time talking. So it's, I mean, it's just weird.

Like it's someone that, you know, I had seen on TV for so long, someone, I respected someone that I met and had a couple of conversations with in the past. And now to know just like, that's it, he just gone. Yeah, I think I think a red AMA put us in touch with each other to the point where we were emailing about potentially working because as I mentioned a lot, like Mythbusters is probably the biggest inspiration for Slamagai's. And he was working on White Rabbit Project at the time, so I

like that was the reason why we couldn't immediately work together. And then I guess we just never did. And now it's like, holy shit, that's like stuff like that. It's like you every we want to like do really to do things and like, it's just sad when people just suddenly vanish. Yeah. And it's like, oh man, I never really did that thing with them that I should have or I never told them this. You always think you're a time. Yeah. Like I felt like I wasn't saying about just stuff that I wanted to say to him over email because it's like, oh, just tell him the person when I meet him. It's like, I can't do that now. And that's just super sad.

I think it's so nice. I and it's crazy to see so many people we know in this industry who knew him or were touched by him. It's crazy. The impact he had on like so many people. Like, I think every single person who said anything about him was just about like how phenomenal it was. You're just great. Yeah. Yeah.

But I guess like, it's stuff like that when that happens. That makes me really think like, why do people spend so much time in their life just being cruel or just being terrible to other people or terrible to anybody in this world or trying to make their life harder and it's like it's so fucking short. Why, why waste that? Why not just focus on your happiness and your own life and making the best of it rather than trying to bring someone else down? It's just insane to me that that is such a... I think it's just easier said than done though isn't it? Because some of the mainists

and cruelest people are the unhappiest people typically. True. Yeah, but especially with everything going on right now, you think that it's a time to maybe reflect on that and re-value your life and the things that you're doing. Because I mean, we're living through weird times. It know, it's like, well, maybe, you know, when this is all said and done, maybe I should spend more time hanging out with people. You know, maybe I should, you know, seize those opportunities while I can. I feel like it's all been taken away now. I'm fucking stuck in my house for the most part, unless I run into a drew with the fucking liquor store. But I mean, the good

thing is, I'm not the good thing is, but the one, maybe okay thing about this is that we're all in it together. We're all experiencing this together. It's not like you are home by yourself while everyone else is out experiencing life. It's, this is life right now, at least for people taking this seriously. There is no, there is no FOMO. Like even, even when I see people like, oh, you're at the beach?

No, no, grow. I don't want to, I don't want to go to the beach. Gross, get out of my face. No FOMO. I think it was a big problem for me before the pandemic was I was like, oh, it was doing all this cool stuff. Why am I not doing all this cool stuff? And I wasn't reflecting on what I was actually doing was cool.

Where the people I had in my life were important. And now it's pandemic now that pandemics happens, it's like, oh, I do have a lot of resources in people and things to do, like, that's been really, honestly, there's been a lot of positivity just from knowing, like having people reach out and be like, hey, I haven't talked to you in a little bit. Like, let's hang out, let's talk on the phone for a while.

I talked to somebody today, I haven't talked to you in like five years, just like, rang her up the other day, and she's like, hey, what's up?, let's talk on the phone for a while. I talked to somebody today and talked to him like five years. Just like, bring her up the other day and she's like, hey, what's up? I need, I need some advice on some stuff. And she was like, oh, cool. I was really afraid to talk to people who haven't talked to in a long time. But this is great. And so, hopefully, you know, if you, excuse for it.

Yeah, it's a great time to reach out to people you haven't spoken to in a while. I've heard from that a few times. They're not doing anything. Yeah. But no one's, you know no one's really super busy right now. So it's like, I've had some good chats with people I've spoken to since I left England. That's nice.

My family does a weekly call, like a Zoom call with everybody. And I've missed a couple of them, because it's always the same like. Your family. It's also, it's not just like me, my parents and my brothers, it's like my entire extended family.

So it's like my cousins and my aunts and uncles. So how do you get away with not going to them because you're not busy? As soon as the weekend. I am and I am not, because while the weekends I used to actually relax like I don't necessarily want to be in front of my webcam talking like it's not. So that's what I screening. That's what I've dealt with where it's like everyone knows I'm not busy, but talking to

a bunch of people once we're talking to to family for hours, that's not relaxing. Yeah, just tell him you wanted to all Skype from your computer. Where you zoom, Gus, zoom. No, I don't mean to say that you're not busy, workwise, because I know that you and Trevor are both utterly annihilated with recited work. but in terms of, you know, our conventions and stuff is what I meant.

Right. I mean, we have been doing a couple online conventions. I think I actually am doing one next Sunday, but yeah, it's just, it's constant. And when your work is literally this, like this is, I sit in front of this computer and I talk in this microphone every day without fail, To have to do that on the weekend too is sometimes a little too much even if it's not being recorded it's not a performance it's

but it's still talking and interacting and being like on screen. Well, it's what you do. 2001 Stone combined your next family Zoom call with the Rucytief podcast. The Dunkleman podcast at the same time. Yeah. Hello, a Dunkleman family. Uh, yes, things in Austin are not great. I wish I could come back to Canada. I miss you guys. I love you. Uh, wow, look how big those kids are getting.

Hey, Eric, Eric, can you get this done? Can we get a, uh, a Dunklemenio podcast next week? Yeah, she would. I can do. I mean, we'll see if they're too busy or not for their daughter, but I'll put a finger in. I'm not. I still talk to my parents during the week. It's just the extended family.
