I'm Blaine. I'm Barbara. And I'm Gus. What are you doing? You keep clapping and give us some audio texture over there. Stop. Yeah, I'm Blaine. And Barbara. And what are you doing? You keep clapping. You just give us some audio texture over there. Stop.

He just wanted to get on camera. No. Oh, he's got a milky cam back. He does. If you're doing by Gustavo, why do you keep introducing yourself? So I've been slowly trying to do it over the course of time. Written down, it's always Gustavo. You all already know me as Gusto.

Audience already knows me as Gusto. So it's only when I meet new, it's always Gustavo. You all already know me as Gust, audience already knows me as Gust. So it's only when I meet new people, I think. So you're not as sensitive as someone who already interacts with you because you guys are okay. That's fine, totally fine. In fact, I was at the flight school taking a lesson the other day and an instructor needed to borrow something,

so I handed it to him. He's like, oh, we never actually met and he introduced me to him. I'm whatever. I said, oh, I'm Gustavo. I mean, I'm Gustavo. It's actually, oh, we never actually met and he introduced him, so I'm whatever. I said, oh, I'm Gus. I mean, I'm Gustavo. Like, it's actually, I still do it all the time. He gave me a look. I was like, yeah, you're sorry. Have you guys ever introduced, I mean, Blaine,

you can't really shorten that in any way, but like, do you ever introduce yourself as a gav? Or is it always gavin? Feel like I say gavin. And everyone always asks me like, do you prefer a gav or gavin? Yeah. And I just never have an answer for that.

I don't really don't mind. I don't know how to tell someone that because I get asked that a lot. Like, do you prefer barb or baths or anything? I don't know how to say, I don't give a shit in a nice way. Oh, whatever you want, I'm fine with all. Yeah, I'm usually just like,

call me whatever, whatever you want. So you don't give a shit if I call you Gustavo or a Gus. What if I call you a gas? Well, that's not me. I'd be like, you're talking to it, doesn't that mean? Completely different names. Man, speaking of a flight school,

I had asked you to be here playing today, because today was the day I was gonna show you my pilot license. Oh really? Because I was supposed to take my test yesterday and get it, but the plane was broken. No! I went out there, like, you need,

there's one light on the plane that needs to be on out of all of the lights for daytime flight and it was burned out. Is it just a bulb? I don't know, it wouldn't come on. When I would like- I just tape your phone when I would flip it on and have you like, you don't even really need it.

It's clear day, it's sun, you can't even tell really if that lights on or not. It's like, but I know it's not on, so I can't take the test. I now every time I am like in my backyard looking up in the sky and I see an airplane flying overhead, I always think like, I hope their hudds is lit up, like their lights,

because I'm sure you talked about on the podcast, but it's like the cab and just black. Black, I uploaded a video to my Instagram account showing that, which like, my zone starts start holding a red flash. It's like fucking like you're about to drop a bunch of dudes into Vietnam or something. I'm just gonna say, it's like, it's horrifying. I definitely thought you were gonna say,

I just as humans gust flying up in the air. That's what I thought you were gonna go say. No, but I did have a moment the other night, I was walking my dog and my girlfriend, and I looked up and I was like, I bet that's Wes and Eric and the guys that are coming over from celebration. And like, I don't know why I had that instinct, but it was like, it just kind of lined up, just based on the flight path and everything, and then the next day I asked,

when did you guys fly into Austin? And they told me when they landed it, and it perfectly crossed over with the plane that I called out. And I think I actually just felt it present. Could have been, I mean, planes landed in Austin like every few minutes, right? It's like non-stop. You should install a flight radar 2400 phone.

Yeah. You can see what every plane is. Maybe what you mean. By that time that I followed that one guy that was not in the plane, I was like, I'm going to go to the plane and say, Like every few minutes. It's like non-stop. It's not. You should install a flight radar 2400 on your phone. Yeah. You can see what every plane is. I know what you mean.

By that time that I followed that one guy that was not you. And I was like, oh gosh! Yay! Gus texted you. He's like, I'm at home. Are you allowed to have signals with people on the ground? Like secret signals? What do you mean?

Like, if I think you're flying above me, and I flash a red light, like three times, that you allow to flash a green light back three times or something. It's not a laser or anything. Yeah. I don't see why not. Or you could just call me. I could say, hey, it's good. You're watching. I'm talking to the phone.

I'm not sure when I had to wait. I don't do it. Trust me, I put my phone in like, do not disturb so I can call for anything. Something funny happened during my flights this weekend. I went to a con with Aaron and Cara from Ruby. Lindsay couldn't make it unfortunately, but it was just the three of us. And Cara and I were on the same flight home. We were flying from Indianapolis to Dallas to Austin.

And Cara kept looking up. She like obsessive, obsessive over like flight status and where planes come from and like she just tracks that stuff insanely. And during the weekend she's like, oh I'm looking up like the statistics for this flight and like 25% of the time it gets canceled and 65% of the time it's late and like we had a one hour connection in Dallas, which is always a cluster fuck

because sometimes you have to change. You could be close, or it could be far. Very far. And then on Sunday, she was like, oh, good news, it's actually the same plane that takes us from Indianapolis to Dallas, and then we don't even have to change gates because it's the same plane that takes us there. And so we de-bored when we get to Dallas, and so we're waiting to re-board onto the next flight that takes us to Austin.

Same gate and everything? Same gate. Same flight, yeah. And we were talking about how great it's going, and we're so lucky re-board onto the next flight that takes us to Austin. Same gate and everything. Same gate. And we were talking about how great it's going and we're so lucky it's the same flight because it ended up being late. And Karen's doing the thing where she's like, oh, but I bet you, I bet you something's going to be wrong. It's taking too long. And I was like, Karen, stop it.

Don't jinx it. And she's like, oh, you know, it's going to be like, oh, we need more fuel and it's going to take this long to get the fuel and bubble, bubble up. Sure enough, five minutes later, they come on the thing and they're like, you know, it's gonna be like, oh, we need more fuel and it's gonna take this long to get the fuel and bubble, bubble up. Sure enough, five minutes later, they come on the thing and they're like, hey guys, so it turns out this plane has an issue with the water. They're gonna have to completely drain out everything and refill it.

So we don't really know when it's gonna board and I looked at Karen and I went, you fucking jesus. It's on your fault somehow. And then she's like, oh my god. And we finally changed gates to a different plane that we could take, maybe like 25 minutes later, 30 minutes later. And as we're literally going through the checkpoint, she's just like, what if we get on the plane

and like this happens? And I just said, Karen, don't talk, no more talking. She's like, okay, I won't say anything about the plane anymore about how we'll take off late or sit on the runway or blah, blah, blah, and sure enough, there's weather in Austin. So we couldn't take off for another 30 minutes. Was it this weekend?

Yes. You had another flight and I remember you're saying that you were texting the group because we didn't know if you're gonna be in for filming the next day and you had to get a pod or some little baby hotel that they have the airport. Yeah, that happened a few months ago. A few months and a half, two months ago maybe?

Coming back from Huntsville, and the flight was so delayed that we were going to miss any flight out of Dallas back to Austin, so I had to stay overnight in Dallas. Like at the airport? At the airport. I opted to rent, so they have like these mini cabins you could rent where you usually use them for naps on like a long layover or something or if you want like a private space, but you could also rent them for like an overnight thing. And I did that.

How much was it? It was like $170, $175. It was not bad. Yeah, it was, I wouldn't do it again. No, it was too cramped. It was sketchy as fuck. People kept trying to open my door in the middle of the night and to use the bathroom, you have to leave the little area that it is

to go use the airport bathroom. So leaving all your shit in the pod. And there's no lock on the door, anything like that, from the outside. No key cards or anything like that. So, I mean, you are in the airport, so like. Well, that seems like an easy fix. Why wouldn't they have some way to lock it?

Oh, it's clearly the cheapest thing possible. They have one guy there who I think goes and buys the snacks from the airport concessions and brings them into like the little lobby area. I was flying back from so into Star Wars celebration last week and I was flying back and I went a little extra because I don't have status like you guys do because I'm assuming you guys are flying all the fucking time. So I got, I spent some miles on getting into the Adenrals Club and I came on like an empty stomach and I'm not used to being in the Adenrals Club

and they had like free shit, like they got like free soup and chips. They have like, yeah, soups and snacks and little foods and any drinks too. I think I had like seven bowls of tomato bis to the point where my stomach hurt real bad. Was it like the cheesy tomato bis, or something?

Yeah, like Gouda and it or something? Yeah, I was just like, the guy next to me was thought I was like, like going through something because I would load up, and then just like kept going back and forth. Same bowl every time he was the best. He was the best like miles I've ever spent before.

She got two bowls at a time. I would love. This is going to be the biggest first roll problem, but I do have access to the ad most club just because of like the credit card I use and also the points and stuff like that from flying. And after you fly almost every weekend for conventions and stuff like that, I just want them to put like one new snack in there. It's the same time.

It's the same food. I mean, it's, It's the same food. I mean, there's a breakfast food where they have hard boiled eggs and some other things, fruits and stuff like that, and then in the afternoon it changes to the lunch dinner kind of menu. But it's the same stuff every time. I would pay money for one or two new options. And are they normally, don't they prohibit you from bringing in outside food?

I haven't noticed that, but I haven't tried so. They had tortilla soup, bisque, and barbecue sliders, and I just like, drank my weight and bisque. The next day I took a shit, and it was blood red, and I didn't know if it was because of the bisque or my stomach was doing something to me. It took a biscuit shit. It's also like, it's a very orange soup. I don't know where the blood red would come from.

I don't know either, man, but I was like, oh, normal. But the next one was nice and brown. Oh yeah, we're back in Brown Town, baby. Hey. It's all good. Thank you. That's another possible title.

Blaine Gibson back in Browntown I I for the first time and I since last year I think I went and I saw a movie this past weekend Actually made it I went out and I saw top gun Maverick. Yeah, I can see it. Yeah, I'm sadder day dude It's so fucking good. It is like you wouldn't expect a sequel to what 36 year old movie. Yeah, man. Well, I don't I thought a top gun was shit. So hopefully I really enjoyed top gun too. I feel the first movie was just maybe you had to be there. Yeah, I felt like it was a very influential movie when it came I came out. I was eight years old when that movie came out. And I remember like watching it on VHS and that's actually what made me start loving planes and aviation was watching the original top gun and I was like eight or nine years old and So it was really cool to see the new one the new one's way better the first back

Sweet yeah, I'll watch it. I don't want to like how many? How many other? Just two okay I don't want to hype it up too much But I went into it and I was like why how the fuck could top gun get all this hype like who cares like the first one I agree. I didn't like it all that much. And I went in and it was just like kind of like arms folded the entire time.

And then by the end of that movie, I was like, holy fuck, I want to go to the Danger Zone, bro. This is so sick. Do they play that song in the movie at least once? Not for real. Okay. Okay. I actually, so, and I'm not,

hmm, how do I navigate this? I had a bad movie going experience. I bought tickets from my girlfriend and myself to go see Top Gun at a trusted movie theater that I go to very often. And we went in and they had the Jurassic World trailer pop-up and then like something like a loud, time-ranosaurus rex leg comes down.

It boomed the speakers and then from that point on, the dialogue track was gone. So you see Chris Pratt going, but you wouldn't hear him, or you'd hear like Jeff Goldboom way in the fucking back of the field. The center channel was out. I guess, maybe, I don't know what it was, but it wasn't right, and I was like, well, maybe that's just a bad export on the trailer. And then Top Gun starts, and there's like pretty loud jet stuff going off and it kept

fucking resetting and then like you would just lose all the audio tracks. You can't hear. The hell? So I was like, shit. And I was like, I've heard such great things about this movie and I know it's like a big cinematic experience. I don't want to watch it like this. So for the first time I think in my life, we left the theater and I had to refund the

commitment. We went to another place like a cross town. It was like Dolby Atmos who's the exact opposite I Look the interesting thing is the reason I actually went and I saw it even though it's a second We like I'm still trying to avoid crowds and like confined spaces and everything. Oh get it It's playing at so many theaters and there's so many different show times I was like oh there's a showing that starts in like

30 minutes and there's only five people who purchased a ticket like I'm gonna buy a ticket on the exact opposite end of the theater. There we go. Done. Fine. Not a problem. Take me with you. If whenever you go see it, how you even see anything, I would love to go with you guys. Let's do it this week. Let's see this week. Experience. Yeah, let's do it. I want to see it this week. Okay. Let's do it. Let's see. If there's any seeds.

Yeah. I think there are, I mean, as Gus said, it's playing every now and then. I went Saturday afternoon and there was like, I could go to any of the eater I want and watch this. So did the T-Rex stump out the sound? Did it break at that point? I go on already. I think he was gone already because like I wasn't really super paying attention, but then that was the moment where like, you know, the pre show of the theater, it was Alamo. I love Alamo and I actually, I messaged them and they're like, how's your experience? And I was like, it was Alamo. I love Alamo and I actually, I messaged them,

they're like, how's your experience? And I was like, it wasn't great. I understand that there was probably some technical problems. It felt like your theater was understaffed too. I hope that they were okay. Like I was like very nice to the entire process and they were very cool. They gave me like free tickets and stuff.

Oh nice. It's all fine, but I was like, man, that sucks. Cause I love the Alamo. Speaking of the Alamo, I know that you saw the Bob's Burger movie, right, Gaff. I haven't seen it. Oh, yeah, I thought you did make. She's seen it. Okay. There is a little pre-show thing from the Alamo that happens in Bob's Burgers, where it's a phone call between an Alamo employee and Bob. It's Hannah McCarthy. Yeah. It's her voice. Yeah, because she works with the Alamo now.

And I guess they used her voices like the person from the Alamo like talking to Bob. That's pretty cool. Yeah, she got to talk to Bob. Yeah, even though probably didn't. They probably recorded their audio separately. She's most of the couple of things, oh, she's doing out there.

She seems like she's having a lot of fun. I actually reached out to her not too long ago because I listened, we do stinky dragon and I also listened to it. And she voices like one of the villains, Parallelite, which is like an incredible job and she's continued to support the show even though she's at a different place now and I reached out and was like, I super appreciate that because she offers so much to the show, very good voice actress.

Gus was second choice for Parallelite. I am. I feel like we don't talk about Tales from the stinky dragon enough. It's our D&D podcast, which I think is fucking great. I love it. I think it's going really well. She gets to do a voice on it. If you've never listened to it, we're like between arcs right now.

It's like the perfect time to jump in. If you have it, I would recommend you listen to all the episodes, but if you don't want to, there's like a recap episode and then right when the new arc starts. So it's like, you can listen to this recap and then get started without having to listen to it. But we should go back and listen to everything. Yeah, it's always difficult doing a podcast that's narrative because it's difficult for people to jump in at any point,

but that's what's great about those recaps is you don't need to. Although I've heard from so many people that like, once they started, they just binge the whole show. Yeah. So that might be you. So watch the first episode and see if you like it. I'm just really excited for the episode we're taping tomorrow. I can't wait to see how it's gonna go.

Like I've been sitting on it for a little while, waiting to get to this. I was doing yard work and I was behind like five episodes. So I 1.2 speeded through all of those episodes. It was the easiest listen. It's of the things that we're working on at Rooster Teeth right now, it's the one I give the most shit about.

I love that. I love doing that show. And it's also like, I've noticed this about Anima too. You're all hyped up on coffee. And like that's when you are like peak funny. And that's like I come in every morning with my Hank's coffee and I'm fucking slurping that shit down and I'm like far on all cylinders.

Yeah, we should start doing this podcast in like earlier in the day. Like we used to. No, we used to do it in the morning. Didn't we? Oh, I mean, we used to do it in the morning. Like audio. Oh, right.

Yeah, I remember we used to do the RT podcast live at 7.30 though. So we would get dinner. Home size. It's back at 66. Yeah. Yeah, that sucked. Yeah, and well, yeah, because we would finish

at like 9.30 at 9.30. We'd get home like at 10. Yeah. Yeah, she even had sucked. Yeah, and yeah, cuz we would finish at like 9.30 at 10. Yeah, she meant I would clear out and I'd sit with my thumb in my hospital. I'd walk across the annex and be like, is there anything set up? Okay. Yeah, guess we'll just hang out for another three hours. That first when we started doing it, it's like there was no broadcast department. It was me and Brandon. So be like, I'd have to go over there to the annex, set everything up and be like, okay, we're ready to go. I think this is the only show we do live after hours, like work hours. Yeah.

I guess sometimes does an off topic dip into that a little bit? Not anymore. They, I think, now go for an hour and a half and then do a half hour or so. Not without tight ship. I remember when off topic used to be like, I mean, you can go later if you want to. I just don't think anybody wants to.

I ain't on it. What are you looking at me? Why are you saying anything? I have to watch. I'm just having a conversation. We're just talking, we're all friends. No! We're all buddies.

We're all buddies. Yeah. Anyway, tell us what a sticky dragon. Go look for it. Where we listen to podcasts. We're gonna do a tale from the sticky dragon, one off, one shot at RTX, right? RTX, shit, that's like less than a month away.

Yeah. July 1st to 3rd. Oh, fuck, dude. It's RTXEvent.com. Woo! We're first time together in three years. Yes, it's 2019. They put out that like animated little trailer thing

with the little animated cartoons. It's really cute, I saw that. Yeah. Yeah, that's out there. Anyway's really cute, I saw that. Yeah. Yeah, that's out there. Anyway, go check it out right there. Boom, or go to the type it in manually rtx-event.com if you don't have QR code. I need to start doing my RTX routine. I'm going to start probably running and dieting.

Because I always want to look like fucking peak at RTX. I hear during RTX boys and girls. You only eat tomato bisque. It's true. Just three days of tomato bis, nonstop. Probably, I don't know how I can help you. In Austin, Texas. No, it makes the experience a lot of fun too.

Cause like if I eat like a saint, the entire month leading up to it, and then RTS hits, and then I'm just eating like a goblin, then it makes it all the more sweeter. I'm very excited, but yeah, I need that human fuel. It's gonna be crazy to do that again in person.

It's gonna be so weird. It's gonna be like a time skip. Yeah. I was looking back recently through some, I was just like archiving some footage and I found all the footage from when a bunch of RTX attendees pelted us with water balloons. And there's so many people in that crowd

that I've seen since. I know. And like, Christian was in there. Yeah, there's a bunch of people who work, especially I think like as either producers and broadcasts or otherwise, like who were RTX volunteers or attendees. Yeah, I was like scrubbing through and I was like,

and I'd slack to them, I was like, were you in the crowd of that? I know, like, is this you? And I just drew an hour thing. It's like, yeah. Cole from the first RTX in a volunteer shirt. He's like one of the eight volunteers we had for that one. That was cool.

Was that the year that I was your? Nope, this was 2011. So I missed that. I wanted to go to that, but I went to the day five thing instead. And I remember in day five, there's a guy with a bicycle. And that was me, my debut. Day five view. My debut.

Yeah. There's a photo from the first RTX actually that just popped up on my like, a memory from X amount of years ago where when you said Water balloons gave, I don't know if you remember this, Gus. How there was Water balloons, the first RTX and people were like throwing them at each other and like racing around the field and stuff like that. It's like, it was in the field. It was hot. It was very hot. It was in the field, dude. It was hot.

It was really hot. There's a photo of me running. And literally, it's a photo that was taken as a water balloon is hitting my face and splashing. So it's just me mid-run with a water balloon just exploding on my face. And I thought it was the funniest thing ever. Something you forget about water balloons

is when you get hit by one. It's like, yeah. But there are small amount of places on your body where it really hurts. And you don't often get hit by one, it's like, yeah, but there are like small amount of places on your body where it really hurts. Yeah. And you don't often get hit in one of those, unless there's like 500 people throwing them, and then you will definitely get hit.

Getting a water balloon pop over your ear and having all the water just shoot against your ear drum, really hurts. Yeah, do. And it happened to Dan and me in two different attempts. I would expect for that many people, it's gonna hit you everywhere, bro. Yeah, it hits And it happened to Dan and me in two different attempts. I would expect for that many people, it's gonna hit you everywhere, bro. Yeah, it hits everywhere, but just...

Where you heard the most, dear? Yeah, in the A-hole. But just that evening, just like, ah! Did you do that thing where you got the water stuck in there for a while? Yeah, I think he, Dan had it way worse because that was like a police siren what sounded like three miles away.

And he was like, ah! It was like, that's a frequency. The worst part, like when you get a little bit of water in your ear and like you can't get it out and then like an hour or whatever, and then it comes out and it feels like really warm. It was like, oh yeah, you're not quiet at that warm.

I guess it's like your body temperature, like it's warmed up to whatever. And is it like one of the hottest bits of your life? It feels disgusting. They used to take temperature in the year, didn't they? Yeah, I think it's just like, it's the same with animals. It can be thermal camera, cat, it's like,

is it really hot? I get it. I have an in-year temperature gauge that I got at the beginning of the pandemic. And yeah, you just like, you got your ears cleaned out recently, didn't you? Dude, yes. You get invacked?

She fucking rocked. No, it was like she was like, you got your ears cleaned out recently, didn't you? Dude, yes. You got invacked? She fucking rocked. No, uh, I was like, she was like, everything. She did like a little syringe, and she scored some water in there, and then there was also some vacuuming, and it was just like five minutes of me fucking pinned into a chair,

like feeling like I was the winner soldier getting his brain scrambled. Yeah. And then I walked out with like 20 times better hearing. He's incredible. 2020 hearing. 2020 hearing. Shit, we're rocked.

I was talking to you guys about something that I'm doing at RTX this year, and I'm so fucking excited about it, and I'm trying to figure out a way to make sure my parents aren't there for that panel, but it's gonna be probably the best thing I've done at RTX, and I'm very excited. But your parents can't see it.

They cannot see it. You can if you buy your tickets now. What other things from Rooster Teeth to your parents enjoy? They listen to this show every now and then, so I've kind of been a little bit more like, they're like, what did you do this week and be like, I was on the pot, I wasn't doing anything, you know? You're gonna say if they, let's say they like Face Jam or something like that, I don't think they do.

But if they were like, maybe see, they could put the Face Jam panel at the exact same time as this panel. Oh, I didn't think of that. So that they would, yeah. Yeah, we'll do that for you. Take your parents over to the Face Jam panel. See what they think about what we're doing.

It's a nice, wholesome, Face Jamming fun. I want to see some moms wearing the 100% eat ass shirt. Yeah, me too. Not my mom, please no. You're gonna get one for your mom. Uh, yeah, not. I want to see moms in that shirt. I think that's what I want.

Really enough, like my family has started taking a watching all of her squatting force TikTok stuff. Yeah. And like my niece and nephew want to see Uncle Bubba in content, but Uncle Bubba's content's a little bit more for the mature audience. Adults. Yeah. So I have to find a very selective amount of stuff to show them.

Uncle Bubba, we're doing bad things. We're doing adult things, adult situations. So like I mentioned, I watched Top Gun Maverick over the weekend, and you know, Miles Teller is one of the main characters, plays one of the main characters in that film. And I've also been, I don't know if anybody else has been watching, so I've been watching a show in Paramount Plus called The Offer. No.

Hollywood loves making movies and shows about making movies. The offer is like a fictionalized telling of the production behind the Godfather. It was not fiction, I guess. It's the stories of the producer of the Godfather and what went into the making of that film. And Miles Teller plays the guy Albert Ruddy who was the producer on the Godfather.

And it's one of those shows where I started, I was like, this is kind of shit, but whatever, there's nothing else on. And now I'm like, oh my God, the new episode's coming out on Thursday, I can't wait to see what's happening. Like, that show totally made a turn on me. And I'm like really into it. To the have playing like, I mean,

do they have like Francis Ford Copla and Al Pacino and something like that? Is it like, it's no actress that you would, right? Oh, it's, what's his name? Giovanni Robici plays a Joe Colombo who's like a mobster in New York. Huh, what if they had all these new actors, but then Al Pacino just played himself Can you play anyone else besides himself at this point? Well, it's funny watching that

and us besides himself at this point, versus Al Pacino. Well, it's funny watching that, the offer because it's like, it's not that they paint Al Pacino in a bad light, they just paint him in like kind of a not flattering light because I guess it was like a big role for him in a breakout role. So he's like, the character in the show

is very like self-conscious and not confident about his role and like, people are trying to get him removed from the film because they don't like him. Oh. It's like, oh, it's like, if I was Al Pacino, I'd kind of be like, hey, what the fuck man? I have a hunch that Al Pacino's doing just fine.

There's a lot of really good TV right now to watch. There's the new season of Stranger Things, which is, I, in my opinion, been phenomenal so far. I'm only halfway through those, so don't spoil it for me. There's the new season of the boys, and Kenobi. And there's like one other thing that just came out to you. Ruse Paul Drag Race Legends.

Hell yeah. That shit rocks, a fucking love Drag Race dude. I am hooked to that shit. There's no time for all these good shows. Especially with Stranger Things, each episode being a fucking movie link. Dude, what have they done with that? Because I'm rewatching the entire show, There's no time for all these good shows. Especially with Stranger Things, each episode being a fucking movie link. Dude. Yeah, well, they're dumb, cause I'm rewatching the entire show

cause I couldn't remember anything that happened. Oh, they have a whole recap at the beginning of the day. Thank God, but it doesn't, it doesn't, like I had to look up a YouTube recap. Oh, really? The cast did a recap, probably with like Vanity Fair or some shit. And it's like, it's like an eight minute thing. And if I hadn't watched that, I'd be lost.

Like when the boys, new episodes started coming out on Friday, they do like, quote unquote recap at the start of the episode. But it's super cutty and it ends like in two minutes. Like, okay, I remember some of that, but what the fuck did I just watch? Yeah, I remember not liking stranger things too. And I don't remember anything about three. Yeah.

But I'm like halfway through two now. I'm right at the end of two actually. And it's way better than I remember. Yeah. Honestly, I'm excited to anything about three. Yeah. But I'm halfway through two now. I'm right at the end of two actually, and it's way better than I remember. Yeah. Honestly, I'm excited to get to four. One is a masterpiece. It's a masterpiece. 100%.

But so far, season four, I think is like a tight second place now. Tell me it's really shitty though, so I'm not too hyped up. OK. It's long. So what actually is saying it's fine so far, I think it's better than three. I feel off after season two I think. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, that's because I think like when you compare it to season one, I think when

people watch season two, they're like, well, this isn't as good. Well, I think it's also like there's been kind of gaps in production. Sure. And it's like trying to get back into it. You know, it can take a little while. Like, for example, Westworld's coming back like in three weeks. Oh, Christ. And I'm like, oh shit.

I think I remember what happened, but I need to go back and rewatch season three. Like a completely different show now. Yeah. Who's the kid that gets trapped in the episode down in season one? Barb? Will. Will? Yeah, who's the who's the kid that gets trapped in the upside down season one? what will? Will whoever the actor is who plays will and whoever reactor milled Bobby Brown 11 They consistently have the shittiest fucking hair in that show. I mean it's the eighties. I Still think it didn't look good in the eighties either. It was like it's

No, I'm saying like yeah, but he's still happened Yeah, they're it's a period piece like it's supposed to No, I'm saying like, it's... Yeah, but the 80s still happen. Yeah, they're... It's a period piece. Like, it's supposed to look like they're actually in the 80s. Well, for me, I understand. Well, Sarah's like a ball cut if it was cut while he was leading down. Yeah. Like, when he's like 45 degrees down, it's like this way. It's like, it's horseshit.

It's the worst fucking hair. They must have like done something to the makeup team or something to the hair makeup team. Because it... I think the problem is to to they're trying to make people look like kids who aren't kids. And so they probably have to do some things and adjust the makeup in here to... They got to distract you from looking at them with bad hair.

They'll make them look like not bad, but if you're trying to make someone look young, sometimes it ends up looking bad. They got to shoot Drake off the set, because he's all hanging out with the guy. I heard that the Duffer brothers were originally trying to do it, but they couldn't get the rights to it, so then they're like, fuck it, we'll just make our own like- I could kind of see that, yeah.

And then it fucking killed, and then they were like, hey, let's make an it movie. And then they use like Finn Wolfhand or whatever. Wolfhard. Wolfhard. Yeah. Is that your name? That's the best name. It's the coolest name. Is it a birthday?

I think it's a dick wolf. Finn Wolfhard and Kiki Wolfkill are two. Kiki Wolfhard. But it's your coolest name. It's fucking cool name. Wolf really the name. I do apparently. It's called Drin.

It's cool. Space man. But in the boys season three, they released the first three episodes on Friday and I watched them all over the weekend and That first episode immediately you're like, oh, right. They don't shy away from showing fucked up shit Yeah, like you kind of I kind of forgot and then like immediately they're like, oh, oh, right, right Right, that's kind of their thing. Well, like gruesome go-aal-gut stuff. Like, body parts that you don't like to see, and then in a scale that you really don't like to see. Close up, penis.

I remember hearing that that show was gruesome before watching any of it, and I remember the first episode what happens with his girlfriend. I was like, oh, they weren't lying. Like, when they're like, it's gruesome, it's fucking. What, what, what does it have to do more? Like, super gruesome, it's fucking violent. What does it terms you more? Super gruesome, but unrealistic, or just less gruesome.

Like imagine in the thing where the dude's head gets up and walks away, compared to the guy and Game of Thrones getting his eyes thumbed in. I think the latter is probably like the more believable. Yeah, the more believable it is or like realistic, I guess. Like Sam Raimi Gore and like, you know, like, I guess that's like John Carpner and shit.

Like that stuff's like funny to me where it's like, this is almost like a top. It's over the top. Yeah. You're gonna hate me, but John gave me shit for not drinking. I knew this was gonna happen. And I have to use the little girls rule. Go for it.

I knew when I saw you reply with that empty bottle, I was like, Barbara's gonna have to pee during the podcast. I think blood is too small for the amount of what you have to drink. Yeah. Yeah. Unrealistic. I read though that you can train your bladder

to last longer. Like if you are constantly peeing at every opportunity, there's basically train your bladder to last longer. Like if you, if you were constantly paying at every opportunity, there's basically like your bladder's like, I you can't, you train it. You know how Apple makes those max-safe batteries that just like go on? If you could get a secondary bladder

that just went on the outside, would you use it? That's called a catheter, dude. That's a catheter, yeah. No. You wouldn't want that convenience of just like magnets on the outside, would you use it? That's called a catheter, dude. That's a catheter, yeah. No. You wouldn't want that convenience, so just like it magnets on the side. I was, I was annoyed when I went to go see Top Gun, because I had to pee partway through the movie,

because I drank a bunch of coffee in the morning. I was like, oh my god, I'm like trying to pick like, what can I go, what can I go, where can I go? I was like, I was like, that an ambulance when I accidentally ordered 4A ounces of beer or something. Yeah, you can't miss a scene in ambulance. Oh my God. You just talked about Top Gun Maverick for how long?

And you watch ambulance and tell me, I don't know, that is I don't see. I saw the trailer. I don't see the scene. I don't see it. It's on peacock now, isn't it? I don't have peacock. We have to get it.

Shit, I don't want to watch it. Do you remember when Was it for top gun when Tom Cruise came out with that guy? I was like hey don't put on them like the Frame blending on your TV. Oh no, it's for Mission possible. I was a mission possible. It was like the director of mission possible It was for ghost protocol. I want to say yeah, they're like going through the settings. Go right now, turn off this. It was insane. Oh, that's okay. Have you, when I saw Topgoon over the weekend,

I got to see the new Mission Impossible trailer on the big screen. Yeah, I don't only see that. There's a new Mission Impossible. Coming out next year. It's part one. Yeah, dead reckoning, part one. I really thought that series was over.

Dude, it's like, I'm going to be over. I have to pull out. Fallout was so good. That was amazing. And not get higher. was over. Dude, it's like I would be over off to pull out. Flaw out was so good. That was amazing. And not get higher. It's like every, it's like what are they gonna do now? And then you watch the trailer and it's like Tom Cruise could fucking die in this one. I don't even if it's part one, it's crazy. I don't think they'll beat Henry Cavill reloading his beat. I like that in the trailer. They're doing all these crazy driving stunts. And surely someone, like a DP or someone,

said, I was like, how can we show that it's really Tom Cruise driving this car at a high speed backwards? Let's rip the doors off the car that way you can see in. And it's like that's in the... Just like as I want to really show that he does his own stuff. So I'm gonna...

I was like looking for the stunt because that's what they do in every mission possible. It's like, you know, oh Tom Cruise latched himself to the side of a plane. Tom Cruise tied himself out of fly helicopter so he could do it this time. Tom Cruise, like a halo jump last time? Yeah.

Oh, that was the other one. I think this one, they have like him-draining motorcycle. Well, I don't wanna say, you don't watch trailers. It's like, it's more just like, holy fucking shit, why is Tom Cruise still doing this stuff? It's so cool. He's so old and so Scientologist. What other films is he making

other than Top Gun, Mission Impossible, like Action Movie? Does he, is he in any other type of movie these days? Maybe he should just make his sequel to everything he's ever done. I can't wait to see cocktail too. I don't know we both go there. Let's see Barbara. What's that risky bit?

Is it risky business? Yeah. So, apparently that's one of those scenes in a movie that people misremember where the people when people do the costume for it at Halloween or something like that, it's the white button up shirt underwear and sunglasses. Uh huh, it's socks. Apparently he wasn't wearing like one of those items

or like it's like misremembered on what exactly he's wearing. Yeah, it's dick was out. Yeah, he had like the costume is socks, underwear, white t-shirt and sunglasses. It's misremembered, but you don't remember the misrememberance. Yeah, it takes exactly, costume is socks underwear white t-shirt and sunglasses. It's misremembered But you don't remember the misrememberance. Yeah, it takes exactly. Well, I've never seen it That's my excuse I apparently he like like can anyone look up no sunglasses. No sunglasses. I think the sunglasses are on the movie poster

That's why people were that's what it was yeah, because everyone always wears sunglasses when they did that costume There's a whole thing with like Rayban was struggling to stay in business. And then that movie came out and then it was like, it's one of those clubmasters or then they wayfarers. Wayfarers, yeah. Sorry, I didn't know what I was thinking about the furniture store. They like blew up because of risky business. Mm-hmm.

So his recent projects, or I guess he announced are, live, die,die repeat and repeat. Yay! Wait, that is sequel to it. Fuck yeah. But that wasn't even the original name of it. Right, wasn't it? The edge of tomorrow.

The edge of tomorrow. But the comic is named I think Livdie repeat. Oh. Untitled Tom Cruise Space X project. I think that's the one where they're going to film in space. No. Mission Impossible dead reckoning part one and part two. Wait, actually film in space?

Yeah. It's some crazy. I thought that was the rumor that it was going to be for the mission possible movie. Like it might be just part of another stuff for another movie. Yeah. Top Gun Maverick mission possible fallout. American made the mummy. I forgot about that.

No, that's got to be cancelled. No, that already came out. Oh, I thought you were looking at the scenes. No, you're now going down to the story. That was what I was reminded of when you was talking about how the sent a channel went out for your thing. But that was that trailer that was uploaded where there was only the sent a channel.

It was just like his weird yell. A lot of the movies he does, like, are very American. It feels like. It's where he's from. It's Top gun is full propaganda Oh absolutely. It's all these like super-actiony American like freedom movies, you know I was I thought it was in Maverick of course, you know not they you know, there's like an enemy

Of course that they're like gonna have to deal with but they never name the enemy country in the movie. It's so strange. It's so strange. I was great. It was great. Didn't take away from the movie. Don't need it. Well, they do a lot with not wanting to piss off other countries too, because they'll

not make money there otherwise. Right. The same with like, Avengers and Sokovia, I guess from... I guess they didn't make up a name either. They're just like, you know, the facility is located in this area. I was like, didn't test my where exactly. Do you remember?

They did a remake of a fuck. Wolverines, what's that movie called? Redon. Redon. And I think China was gonna be the bad guys, and then like China blew the fuck up, and they were gonna like ban all of the movies from the production company because of that,

so then they switched it and digitally edit out every flag and piece of regalia. And then it was North Korea, and it was weird. It was like, they spent so much money fixing that because they messed it up. Oh yeah, saved them more money. And then the original, it was just Russia. It was a simpler time. Yeah. We watched a movie for your birthday? Yes, save the more money. And then the original, it was just... Raja.

It was a simpler time. Yeah. We watched a movie for your birthday. Hell yeah. Here, a Blaine movie. Big trouble in the little China. It's fun. Dude, the John Carpenter or Kurt Russell trilogy,

it is just the best movies. They're so cool. Was it been your favorite birthday celebration you've ever had? Preparator. Yeah. It'sator? Yeah. Is that what we did it? We did it. So there's a, when you come to Austin for RTX,

listen here at home. July 1st to 3rd. July 1st to 3rd. You need to go to the Blue Starlight movie drive-in. It's like a local thing and they have these pop-up drive-ins. And I always do patron pick nights. And I just like play a movie that I really like

and have all the friends out. And it's a lot of fun. I liked it. Before the movie, you could see that it was being streamed off someone's foot. Yeah, they're like airplaneing. It was really, it's a five foot. I mean, it looked great.

It was totally fine. I bought the Blu-ray out and stuff like that. There's such a small local business that the owner, I was coordinating with one guy and he was like, hey, the owner really wants to talk to you and was like, okay, yeah, and but I was also trying to like coordinate getting all my friends around and stuff. And then before the movie starts, he like came up

and was like, hey, thanks for your business. I've never seen this many people. You must be the coolest guy in Austin. He's like, you must be pretty populous. It was the weirdest, I was like, hey, thanks. And I was like, I knew someone was just gonna be like, shitting on me. That was the first thing I said when I got out of the car.

I was like, Jesus, playing. A lot of people like you. That's like 50 people. It's been a good turn out. There was more people who I think we're gonna come and just send it or not come. It's popular guy. Yeah, like, you know, I can't imagine being a friend of mine

and then just not showing up for my birthday, you know. Weird. The last second. My dog had seizures. So, well you should have brought them. You sound like a fucking dick now. Yeah, yeah. You had a bunch of seizures.

We had to take them to the animal hospital and go, hey, let's see. Yeah, but like both of you? Yeah. Yeah. You go watch this movie. I'll say, I'll make this seizure dog. Sorry. Okay. Okay. You didn't come to mine. You go watch this movie. I'll say I'll make this your dog

Okay, you didn't you didn't come to mine. I Was gonna here. You was I was trying to transition to talk about Gavin's birthday And I was I felt bad because I didn't know if he invited Blaine or not And I don't know if I should talk you're a liar Blaine Liar Gavin's birthday. We did something so fun. Well, this all came from, we were out at dinner for our freighters birthday. Is it a really nice thing? He was like, yeah, this is all I really want for my birthday. You know, I can nice meal with my friends.

And in my head, I was like, that's a nice comment. And then I immediately went to, what's the opposite of that? I was just like, I wanna do laser tag. And I just said it as a joke. And then it became a real thing. It was really fun. Yeah, we essentially had blazer tag here in Austin, like reserved for our group.

I think it was like after hours of the play so you could do like a private reservation. Oh, that's cool. And so like we had the whole place to ourselves. We got to play a bunch of rams of laser tag. I wish we got to play that last version of the game. Again, like multiple times. It was, I guess they don't publicize it,

that they do this for private events, but it's called like zombie mode, right? Oh, it's just like infection, basically, where? Infection, yeah. Everyone spreads out and one of you will turn red, and then everyone will shoot turns red, and it's just like, it's really just like extremely intense hide and seek.

It's so fun. The best, the best thing ever was the first round we did. We all like go into the room and people are kind of like going off and at this like small groups kind of bunch up together. And I guess it was Meg Alfredo, Jackie, and like maybe two or three other people. And Meg's vest turns red, like she's the zombie,

she's infected. And I'm on the other side of the room. All I hear is just like eight people screaming. And I was just like, oh my God, it's like a real zombie. Yeah, everyone next to me was saying how scary it was. And I was on the completely opposite side with Kai. And we just heard like distant screams and we just both were like,

oh yeah, it's fun. It's fun. I'm sorry I missed. I love Blazer Tag because they have this briefing room right before you go in and they play this shitty video that's been around for 10 years of these two high schoolers talking about the rules. And they have these big chairs that are made of wood

and they're covered in carpet and they have fucking massive subwoofers under them. Yeah, I remember every time. And they're like, oh, they're playing techno music and you're like, gggg. Yeah, it was great. We played around a laser tag. We ate pizza, and then we played in the arcade for an hour.

So, and then played another round of laser tag. And then- Did you see the jungle gym thing at the top? There's a good role for us. We didn't. We just played a bunch of arcade games. We were on the way there, and I just got a text from Eric saying, we're in the party room.

Yeah, it was literally one of those kids party rooms that they had a set up with like our pizzas. It sounds like the... I don't mean this like in a disparaging way, but it sounds like the best 16 year old birthday party ever. Yeah, I thank everyone at the end for coming to my 11th birthday. It was honestly like perfect though. Especially not to have like a bunch of other people running around. I'm honest to you. I'm honest to you. I'm honest to you.

I'm honest to you. I'm honest to you. I'm honest to you. I'm honest to you. I'm honest to you. I'm honest to you. I'm honest to you. I'm honest to you.

I'm honest to you. I'm honest to you. I'm honest to you. I'm honest to you. I'm honest to you. I'm honest to you. I'm honest to you. I'm honest to you. I'm honest to you. Do you do when you guys are doing laser tag, do you do your names when you enter the thing or do you do nicknames? What was yours?

It was nicknames. Oh, mine was Windows 95. And then my wife chose her nickname as birthday boy. The guy real confused. Yeah, he went to give out the tickets and he handed it to Kevin. We haven't. Nope. And then he chose Gavin chose the name small life. Because that's what I wanted.

Yeah. I try, I wanted everyone to pick names that like Gavin would say, like words Gavin would use. And I wrote minus chuff. And the best part is like when you're looking at your screen while you're playing, just every now and then it would pop up and just say, you are Jeff. Yeah, every time I thought someone and I'd look at who it was, if I missed it, just say,

you are a small white. Small white. But it was always funny when someone tags you, you tag someone else you see on your screen who it was. Everyone had joking names. I think except Jeff. Jeff was just Jeff. Jeff didn't want to do a name, he was just simply Jeff.

But then we won a bunch of tickets and stuff and everyone got cool toys to leave. I got a squish mellow. Yeah, cool. And guess I did the thing that I thought you would appreciate the most and I didn't even text you about it. Appreciate it. Sounds like fun, but thank you. I sent Gus my email, but with zero expectation. I think I even started a conversation with him and was like, I know you're not going to be there, but I just told you, I sent Gus my email, but with zero expectation.

And I think I even started a conversation with him. And I was like, I know you're not gonna be there, but I appreciate it. Well, Jeff was saying how you and him used to go to that blazer tag like every day. Yeah, it was like after, there was a period of time where we spent a lot of time going to that laser tag. We knew that I'm sure it's changed,

but I knew that course inside and out. Like I could have probably run that thing with my eyes closed. I mean, I went with Brandon in 2007, on 2009, and it hasn't changed since then. Okay, so that's probably, that's probably still exactly the same as the movie. Everything is the same about it, yeah. They play, there was one time that I was there

and they played the Halo theme song, but the meal near mix. So it's like the heavy metal fire and you're like, oh fuck yeah. Yeah. This is so cool. Yeah sure rocks. I learned a lot like, sorry I'm jumping in so much, but Dan Ma as a podcast has taught me a lot about Gus and Jeff that I did not know. Let's see what we get podcasts.

I mean, really check out Dan Ma. We have to do an episode at Blazer Tag now, because I learned that you guys went to Blazer Tag all the time. That's why I'm trying not to talk about it too much when you asked you about it. So, like, we have to do in there. I learned that Gus knows how to surf.

Yeah. And then I learned about Jeff is very good at bowling, but is very against bowling. That's the episode recorded today. That was that. That wanna be out next week? Whoa, that's like, he's very conflicted. That's the episode recorded today. That one's out. That one will be out next week. Whoa, that's like, he's very conflicted. It's something.

The one that fucked me up the most. You guys are, it's like a lot of Austin based stuff, so I'm getting extra enjoyment out of it, but the one that fucked me up the most, as you guys said, there was a restaurant that had chicken fried steak, but you could pay extra to have it dipped in case so it's not gravy.

And that like, I can't sleep until I eat that. It was something amazing. That restaurant might still be there. Let me look. No shit. Let me look. Oh, please, I would love to go out there. We just need to take a long lunch.

You and me and you can go out there. Did it start with a G? Yes. I think I've been there. What was it? Yeah, yeah. I think you took me there. I'm going to look for first place.

I'll see what it is. Green muskete? No, they are still open. Do they have keys? Wait, is this the one in Buda? Let me double check. Yeah. It's a fun listen. I'll see what it is. Green whiskey. No, they are still open. Do they have keys to their menu? Is this the one in Buda? Let me double check. Yeah, it's a fun listen.

I listened to that and 30 more minutes. Minimists on the plane trip over and back. And it made me miss my friends. Oh shit, they are open. Let me check their menu. Oh my God, hold. Hold. Menu.

Buda. Oh, there it is, hold menu. Beautiful. Oh, there it is. It's already loaded. What was it? I had to go down south recently for something where our old office used to be and I went into that little mall complex that's right by the old office on 636 and it was like going in a time machine. It's just exactly the same.

Just seeing like, there's some new stuff there too, but it's just like, we used to go to that restaurant, you used to go to that, like little wooddroes is right there, you see there all the time. We're just weird. There's a what, it was the wedding that you were down there for? Yeah.

Yeah, I remember we drove out there and I was pointing at everything, I was like, this is race intern. And I was living this way. And what a fucking shit drive this was. Yep. That road is like being a foreigner here and having that for here.

Yeah. Oh yeah, and that's where I used to, oh shit. I've been here really long time. We've been here over 10 years now. Yep. Wow. Yeah, this is. This is our podcast where we announce our retirement.

They still have chicken fried steak, but I don't see it with the queso anymore. It's gotta be a hidden menu thing. So it was probably the legal reasons. It was Garcia's Mexican restaurant in beauty. Yeah, maybe it's like one of the secret menus. Like he said. I'm looking at their website right now.

It says they're still open. My mom used to think she had it in good with the dudes that worked with her boylo's because they used to have this like Grande Burrito and then they took it off the menu and she'd go and she'd be like, listen sweetly, he's going here all the time. You guys have this Grande Burrito. Can I get that?

You can't lie to me. Oh, of course, ma'am. Yes, yes. And she's like, hmm, they like me so much here. I'm like, yeah, mom. Yeah. This episode of the RESTEEK Podcast brought to you by Stamps.com. If you've got a small business inflation is not doing you any favors

Are you aware of the MI, the asshole subreddit? Yeah, yeah, love that. There was a post in there from this woman who had just gotten married, I think like a month or two

before she posted this. And she was saying that her and her husband had a limited budget, but their parents helped them pay for the wedding. And to preface this, they're big Disney fans. They spent a lot of time in Disney World and Disneyland. And they saw relatives of theirs posting passive aggressive messages after the wedding,

because they paid for an appearance by Mickey and Minnie at their wedding. But because they had such a limited budget, they used their catering budget on that. So they had no food or bar service at the wedding. Instead paid for an appearance, so one-hour appearance from Mickey and Minnie. And how people were saying like,

there was no food at this wedding, it was like, yeah, it was really shitty. Was it during a meal time? I would imagine so. But also like weddings are multiple hours long. I can't imagine that. You can't really like food or drinks. You can dip it in out of a wedding.

And they were saying the venue were at headplaces where you could buy food and blah, blah, blah, which yeah, like vending machines and stuff like that, or places that you could get something at a restaurant nearby or something, but it's not the same. I think they're the asshole. I don't give a fuck about two people in a costume.

I went booze and I went foods. Oh, I thought you took about the price of the group. Yeah. The people in a costume. I went booze and I went foods. Oh, I thought you took about the bridegroom. Yeah. The people in the costume. Yeah, wait, no. No, the people, the bride and groom paid for an appearance from Mickey and Minnie. That was, let's say it was $3,000.

Instead of food and jewelry. Instead of food and jewelry. I think Gavin was that he didn't want to, he doesn't care about people in a costume. Meaning, I thought, I thought, he made all the bride and the groom in a costume. Yes. No, I thought, Blaine, he'd be all right in the groove. Oh, oh, oh. It may cost you. Yes.

No, I think that's what Blaine meant. What? I'm so confused. I got you, dude. I got you. Do you? I'm confused. So who is the asshole here?

The Brian groom. Yes. Agreed. Absolutely. I just like, especially, yeah, I feel like if you're hosting people in an event that's multiple hours long, it's especially a wedding. It's expected. Yeah, it is expected.

What is the thing? Nobody cares about anyone's wedding, right? I like weddings. I actually quite like weddings. I have like a ranking of the weddings I've been to. But what were you gonna say anyways? Let's pretend I don't know. What's just a lot of efforts, you know,

you get dressed up, you go out to somewhere inconvenient and inconvenient time, at least feed you get dressed up, you go out to somewhere and convenient and inconvenient time, at least feed the people. Yeah, you gotta. Yeah. Even like, even snacks, even a table that has some like, or durs or something.

Yeah, something. What about something, the most recent wedding we went to, one of the guys that was a friend of the grooms, is a baker. And he's like, he would never expect it. He's like this big, hunky, gorgeous dude. It's Randy, we talk about him right now and then, but he's an incredible baker.

And his birthday gift was he made the cake for the bride and groom. What a gift. Yeah, I was just what a gift. But what I say, birthday gift. Birthday gift for her. Birthday gift. And like, we were all lining up because we knew it was coming and I don't think the rest of the people knew

how good of a bakeries. Yeah, they were serving. So they got, basically, she cake for people, which I think a lot of weddings do. They have the actual beautiful wedding cake that they maybe cut a few slices out of and they have she cake for the rest of the guests. And we were in the area where they were cutting it up

and I think we saw the she cake being cut but Randy's cake hadn't yet been cut and they kept passing out slices and I was like, pass, passcake being cut, but Randy's cake hadn't yet been cut, and they kept passing out slices, and I was like, pass, pass, pass, pass. I'm waiting. It's fucking mad.

It was so good. It was so good. It was so good. It was so good. It was so good. It was so good. It was so good. It was so good.

It was so good. It was so good. It was so good. It was so good. It was so good. It was so good. It was so good. It was so good.

It was so good. It was so good. It was so good. It was so good. It wasn't very good at it. It was just a couple times. During the cake cutting, did you smush? No. Okay. Eric, did you smush? No. Like when they're getting the cake. No, I just can't, no. What?

No, what a miserable thing to do. I agree. What a terrible, no. Blaine looks so sad like he wants to smush, but he, No, no, no, I do not want to smush. It just seems like that is to me the same as when you have a birthday party for a kid and they go to blood, candles and you smash a face into it, except you didn't pay someone to do their makeup for four hours that day.

No. So, I just, that's insane. I always can determine how successful a marriage is going to be, whether or not there is a smush. I will not be smushing on my wedding. I'll be smashing in my right. Sex, lose my virginity! Yeah!

Little, little, little funny happened. I think the most important thing at wedding and the easiest thing to get wrong is when you play living on a prayer. When is it? When is it getting up to early? No, absolutely. If people are not having enough energy, it's the ultimate.

Like, this is peak drunk. This is peak night. I think it's perfect when like a lot of the older attendees have left and like the young friends of bride and groom are love dancing and stuff like that. That's the perfect time. Right? I think. We're just thoughts on children.

That's free at wedding. Um, personally, I think if and when I get married, probably gonna pull the invitation like, no kids under 10 probably. Damn, we gotta behave themselves. Well, it's like, I don't want a baby crying to ruin. Yeah, but there's something really fun about being five away and like, running and sliding on your knees.

It's very true, but that's not the kind of vibe I like. I was like, no knee sliding. I was like 11 at my cousin's wedding and they're doing the garter toss and I was like, I'm gonna get up on this foldable metal chair so I can get a better chance of catching the garter and I fell off and it was like near other metal chairs that were stacked and then they all fell down.

Oh my god. And I just like, each shit, there's metal chairs falling all over the place. And then we ended up with the garter. Yeah. I don't know if I did or not. I might have, no. All right.

I did catch a garter, I don't know, wedding ones. I know exactly what you're gonna say. And I was really hoping you were telling this story. Got a garter of my sister's wedding. I got my sister's garter of her wedding. Why are we hands in there? I don't know. I just got it. And I was like, listen, I'm an instinctive athlete.

I'm an incredible athlete. And it just happened to catch it in my hand because I'm so good at catching things. They're just super competitive. Did your brother-in-law take it off with his teeth or how did he take it off for you? I think I blocked out that part of my brain. I don't remember.

You just knew you wanted it. Yeah, there were some traditions. But I caught it, it was like, ah! There are some traditions at weddings that I am just not into, and I think the Gartertoss is one of them. It just seems weird to me. Like, hey, all my single male relatives or friends,

here's this like thing that's been on my thigh all night. Like, that seems weird. It's always like saxophone music. It's like, ah! It's like all the dudes are just, we're like, you're like, stop, this is what you do. The bouquet toss is great though.

And you fucking, you just smacked that chute. Yeah, we talked about it last week. How I ripped it out of someone else's hands. The strategic strike. The funniest thing was I think you literally caught it and then you went to Trevor. Yeah, I was dying laughing. Obviously I wanted my girlfriend to catch it and I was like, you can do it, just jump real high, get in the front. And then you got it and I was dying laughing. Obviously, I wanted my girlfriend to catch it,

and I was like, you can do it, just jump real high, get in the front. And then you got it, and it was like, that was hands down the best. Yeah, I was like a bohemith amongst a crowd of like chickens at that point. I was just like, roop!

That'd be a fun thing to just shot people's weddings in slow-mo. Just people going for the snatch. Yeah, oh, to film. Yeah, I already know there's gonna be a photo of me like arm stretched out, probably insane look on my face because of a talk pro is doing that. It's like that still photo of Beyonce where she's like,

yeah, like every muscle in her body is woman's flex. So cool. The audience is rips. I'm just excited because I assume when I end up getting married, I'll be inviting a lot of my friends, which is like a lot of people at Rooster Teeth, of course. But to do like some of the traditions that I want to do, like the horror and like the chairlift and all that stuff,

like just to see my Rooster Teeth friends to like Jewish traditions, it's gonna be like really weird and funny to see, especially with my family. It's gonna be very surreal weird and funny to see, especially with my family. It's gonna be very surreal. Who, like name your team, your chair team. Oh gosh. Who's your team?

How many people, is there a set number of people that get to lift a chair? You usually try to do like two to three people per chair and like have it organized beforehand so that like. Two to three per chair. Lifting. Yeah, I thought it would be more than that.

You've seen the videos where they go like, uh, boom, it's like, usually, I think it's usually three. Okay. I originally was like, oh, Blaine, you'd be great at it. And then you said the story about you falling off the metal chairs at that wedding. So then now my mind has changed.

I would challenge myself to do just me, just on the floor. Just you or Trevor's chair. Trevor's already been you were like, so we can't ask my uncles. They're just like really rowdy and stuff like that. I think they'd be great at it though. But yeah, you definitely have to plan that before

because you don't want everyone rushing in trying to lift the chairs at the same time. It's gonna be like a human pinnata. Like they'll just like, what? It's gonna be like rock and sock and roll wats. They're just gonna be smashing you and Trevor together. I'm gonna make Gavin do the horror.

Go ahead, show us. It's very easy. You hold hands and spin in a circle. Yeah, I'll get stuck in. Yeah. Yeah. It's a weird, okay, so how can I preface this? I want to talk about the end of survived block island because the last episode came out last

Thursday, but I realized maybe some people haven't seen it yet. So I guess we can't, uh, however, that being said, if you've been waiting to watch it, all the episodes around, I guess this is just kind of like a heads up. Yeah. They're all out there. If you've never, if you haven't seen any of them, if you're not a first member, you want to sign it for a first trial, this is the time to do it all the episodes around. I guess this is just kind of like a heads up. They're all out there. If you've never, if you haven't seen any of them, you're not a first member, you want to sign up for a first trial. This is the time to do it.

The binge gates, so you can watch all the survived block island in one go. It's how many episodes? Nine. Is it nine? Okay, nine episodes total. Yeah, and they're each about 25-ish minutes, but the finale is 40 minutes.

I think the first episode was kind of locked. The first episode might have been those 35 to 40 as well. Something like that, yeah. It's a little longer. We shouldn't talk about the episode and what happens for spoilers, but I think we can talk about the tease at the end. Oh, yeah.

I was surprised by that. I was so excited to see it. So we've confirmed that we're doing a Survive Lock Island season two. That's going to premiere September 16th. And it's going to feature Gavin and Michael. Alright. That a little teaser there, the summer boys or summer boys. That was fun to record. We were just, but there was like a script but we didn't use it at all. We were just like, oh you know summer boys and then

we're just like ad libbing back and forth and a travel was like, oh, you know, some of us. And then we're just like ad libbing back and forth. And Trevor was like, oh, I'll cue you for like the explosion. I was like mid sentence and Trevor goes, boom! And I just looked at him and I was like, and I looked at him too long. I was like, oh, I'm not saying anything in reaction. And Michael was reacting. So I just go, I was looking the wrong way.

I can't believe it. And they animated that in. That's like a part of the thing now. It was very funny. I said this last time, I believe, when you're talking about Block Island, I'm so excited to see other people play that game. And how completely new players and teams and everything

and challenges how those play out and to see what people's strategies are. Especially also now, I think they have season one to get an idea of how things went down as well. I also wonder if people are gonna watch season, like if they haven't already watched season one before going into filming season two. I think it would be dumb if they didn't.

Yeah, I think so. There's a lot you can learn, I think, by watching that first season. I think even when we were filming it, you know, when we were doing season one, even having seen a lot of surviving, a lot of reality shows, there were many times where it's like, I don't know what the right move is here.

Yeah. Like I'm kind of lost, I'm kind of over my head, trying to manage all of this. I definitely, a lot of my strategy was based off watching shows like that. So yeah. I realize there's like a group of people like Frado, you Trevor, I think Gav,

and Meg, you guys are all like obsessed with those reality shows. Yeah, we'll survive in particular. I remember talking about the podcast like a year or two ago and like I think at that point, you and Frado and everyone never really watched it. And then like, I'd never seen it. I think you guys started on a season and just like immediately got hooked right or something like that. Yeah, we started on. 20 something?

Yeah, like 19 or 20. I think it was one of the ones that was on Netflix, right? I think it was 20 or 24. I had to spend through it. Mm-hmm. Of course you're in the room. Would you guys do Survivor in Real Life? Oh, God no.

Yeah. No, that's absolutely not. Wow, no way. I don't think so. I think the elements alone would probably get to me. Not too much. Like the rain, the constant rain. I saw a comment under a seaside from someone.

It was, I think it was a comment on the last episode of Block Island where someone was commenting. I think I forget who it was. Someone in that last episode makes a comment about what a stressful way it was to start the year. So one of the comments was like, when did they film this? Well, they were just like, John, it's June.

It's June. Yeah. And I was like, yeah, we filmed that. I think the first week of January or the second week of January. I want to say it was like the 16th. Oh, is it okay? A little bit.

And it's somewhere around there. Middle of January then. Or maybe it was even earlier. I thought it was earlier. I thought it was like, it was the seventh. I thought it was the eight. Let me look. You might be right.

It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, but now I want to look. How the office was a ghost town, and then hearing about like spray, spray conversations about Chris's fuckery. I was like, what is this show? The week of the 10th. Gotcha.

You should, I know it's, we've had a lot going on. I keep telling Blaine to check it out, and I'm trying to keep him spoiler free too. Me and Kale need to, both of us. It was interesting, because even internally, we tried to keep, even like you say with Blaine here, we tried to keep it spoiler free for as many people as possible.

Yeah. And not really say anything about it. I think a lot of people who really knew were like the production team and the cast, of people who were involved in it directly. I think I'll be fast out. You think so? I don't think you will be. I, so we've done a lot of like first only shows and like competition shows in recent years.

And many times I've been the first person out. And going into SBI, I was like, I just don't wanna be the first person out. That's it. You just gotta win. Just gotta win, that's it. Especially those team games. Yeah, that's what it comes down to. It's like you just gotta win the challenges

and you just gotta avoid going to the chopping block to avoid any chance of elimination. Just win. I wanna golf. Maybe I can take a car. Oh, fuck, dude. I was thinking about like a last laugh. I forgot about golf altogether.

Oh my gosh. Oh yeah, last laugh, I guess I was second out. Kilo was first. Jesus Christ. That was like one of the worst. I, Eric, I never talked to you about this. I expected an apology after that. I was so fucking mad at you, Michael. What happened?

Yeah, no, we talked about it, and I said the same thing I'll say now. I have nothing to apologize about. What happened? How are you talking about? The night of the golf tournament, the final between me and Gav. It was like, I got in my head in the beginning,

and then I think Chris sprayed a bottle of that baby oil. So I had to like lose my glasses and I had oil in my eyes. And Michael and Eric were just fucking grilling me because of this trade. And every one was in retrograde, and I just, my shoes were weird. I couldn't, there's something wrong with the ground. Every experience, they,

they clout in your own way. I have nothing to apologize for. You made it to the finals. He did congratulations on coming in second. There's no one in there. You almost did it buddy. Nothing to apologize for. I could feel like I even had Ezra

and another producer came up and they're like, hey man, where's the macho man? Like bring him back. You gotta step it up. It's have some fun. And I was like, I'm just I'm fucking, I'm back. Like, you gotta step it up. It's have some fun. And I was like, I'm just, I'm fucking, I'm dying. I'm a done, I'm dying out here, bro. And I think I even like Gavin, I was like, I'm dying.

Like, you sent the sweetest text after that. You're like, I am so sorry about how that went. Yeah, because that was times when I was like, man, they're just railing on point. And it's like, reeling him. So I started to just like slap my shit around a little bit. Just make it more even. And they were just ding off of the Peter Pan statue

and hole in one. And I'd be like, oh! And I'd do like a really amazing part. And I'd be like, oh I'm sorry. I was like, you're also in character the whole time. And I remember one time you're like, I am not having a good time. Live it in a nightmare. Yeah, we'll live your comments.

We came like two putt in wood faces. I was so sure it was. I'm so sure it was. He putt in wood back. But I like, look back and like, I think like one or two episodes before is me and Lindsay and it came down to one putt and it had me do like the wrong handed putt with one arm because it was behind it.

And I pull off this fucking amazing like, just kicking ass and then that last one, I just shit the bed dude. Oh god. I made it entertaining at least. I don't think that last episode was entertaining. It was fun, it was great. Oh man.

It was fun. Good times. I want to do as much as I love like survive block island and stuff like that. I'm excited for the future of that show. I miss like those, I guess we have another one coming out that I can't really talk about. Yeah, they haven't showed a preview of it yet,

but I think I know a 20-year talk about the one we saw. Yeah, that kind of stuff where it's just everyone doing stupid bullshit together, so much fun to work on. Like that's like the dream that I wanted to. Honestly, I think Block Island was one of the most fun shows to be part of, just because it was so different. Yeah, it was a long day. It was a very long day. It was a very long day.

It was fucking long days. My first game in golf was with Fiona, and Albeit was that we just had little bottles of fireball that would be swigging every time. And I don't know why we used real fireball. We'd play that game, but it was just Hammond. We were in an Uber on the way home just like, I mean, it was trunk on fireball.

She was fucking gone. Like, you could just keep asking. You could have water. That was a fun duo, you and Fee. It was great. It was sad that one of us had to go. I know. It was the same thing.

I played Trevor in our first round and it was like, oh, well, this sucks because like one of us is obviously going to be a eliminator from it. But like, I go into shows like that's for show and into the Chima Hunter show where I'm like, I'm okay to get eliminated because it's in a Chima Hunter show and like, Traverse at Chima Hunter and if I go out like that is fine with me. Um, and so I think it's great that you ended up winning too because it's a Chima Hunter show. Sorry, that's a spoiler of a show that's been out for two years. That was early, I just said I won golf. Yeah, okay, cool.

Well that was the other thing too, because that just came off of last last season one. And I won that, but it was like on a technicality because I mean, James finished together, but we had the same, we had different amounts of lives. Yeah. And I remember at the end of the golf thing, I had a bunch of people come up and like you need to throw the match

No one wants to see you in class I don't think I rigged it, but I know of who did it and I was not cool with that It was pretty shit direction and that's when that's when the hit the mind game started I have nothing to apologize there you go you didn't say that I know I would never say that you just bully me I would have wanted you to win that and then everything else for the next calendar year to just destroy everybody at every competition. That's a scary thing.

That would have been awesome. See, yeah, it didn't happen. Kind of the opposite. I didn't once consider, oh, this is an achievement achievement hunter show I should throw it so that I can know what the best throw is. It's the bleach. I'm not talking about like purposely throwing anything of course. More of just like, if you happen not to win, accepting that.

Sure. Yeah. God that night was brutal. It was really classic. Wasn't raining for a big portion of that shoot too. Oh yeah. I'm just really living. Wasn't raining for a big portion of that shoot too. And it was like, oh yeah, day one, like fireball day was real wet. And I was lying on the floor a lot.

It was minging, especially in that suit. And that was just right before lockdown started. Do like week or two before fucking crazy. Like I remember we were supposed to have Greg Miller on and someone else I believe was supposed to come in, and like, because of where they were from, and like, high cases and stuff already happening, they like couldn't come.

Yeah, it was like, the whole shoot had that feeling of like, the storm is coming, like you can see it on the horizon. Like, let's get this film really quick, come on. This is the last thing we got to film, it's so long. We didn't, I mean, I don't think we didn't realize it was gonna be that long. No, no.

Crazy amount of time. God no. Well, I hate going circling back to the COVID times, but I remember the moment that I realized, oh, this is probably gonna go on for a while, and I just remember just sinking into my couch and just like this fuckers. I think it was like mid-summer.

Yeah. Mid-end of summer when it was like, oh fuck, it's just gonna be at least another year probably. It's saying slow. Thanks, I hate it. Thanks, I think it was like mid summer. Yeah. Mid end of summer when it was like, oh fuck, it's gonna be at least another year probably. It's ain't slowing down. Thanks, I hate it. Thanks I hate it. Yeah. Something pretty funny happened to me

at the convention I was at this weekend. Blaine, you won't understand this reference. Do you remember how we pre-recorded that podcast in that room where we had like the different camera angles? Yes. And it was the podcast that aired last week. That was filmed during a different podcast being pre-recorded. Yeah. There was a podcast that aired last week. That was filmed during a different podcast being pre-recorded. Yeah.

We filmed it two weeks ago from today. And I went into the chat and I picked a random user to be like watch out for coconuts. And as I can mention, someone comes up to the booth and they have a coconut and they go, I'm that one nerdy dad. No. And they had like 3D printed a coconut for me. He came with his family and everything like that. It's two daughters.

But you met them. At the convention I was at the second. What the heck? And I was like, oh my god, that's crazy. What the fuck? Yeah, he was like, we loved it. We were dying in chat and like watching that when that happened. But yeah, it was really funny.

And he gave me the coconut. So he would, he'd already seen the one. Yeah, because this, this was just this past weekend. Okay. So the one that we, with the coconut thing was just last week. If he hadn't seen that one, he'd be like, what was, what's with the coconut? I know. What am I doing?

I was in the chat when that happened, when he was watching and saw it. And he was like, yeah, they told me last week's, Barbara came in and said to be like, we're coconuts and then was watching, is it happened? He's like, oh, this is really weird. This is having to go back. This is before, but after this, it was just the whole beginning of that episode that was so confusing.

It was perfect. It's so cool. You were having none of the fact that we could have sent a message from the future that you argued with me about it. I wanna do this again. After what's, like when you came over, you were like, we won in the

future. We were the current president Dave we sent a message it would have been to the current president people watching. It was a whole thing. We sent a time traveling message during a pre-tap. Yes. Because we were recording at this time but it was pre-recording for the... So we were recording an episode while another pre-taped episode was airing. And our recent message to this chat... So my suggestion was we just hijacked the stream. And say we're from the future. Yeah, we cut into the pre-record live.

My argument was that if we did that, we cut in, it would be us just talking to the people watching that day. So it was not technically the future. Okay. It's present day it would be It would basically like basically we're talking the odds from the past when we do a pre-record right that's what's happening But we're in the future I don't want to talk about this anymore. You want to talk about is the game-rohood? Oh, yeah, another project that we have going. And I feel like we haven't talked about.

I guess we haven't done a podcast episode since that started coming out. Right, because it gave premier last week. Yeah. Yes. Stay for our game-rohood. It is a weekly stream show every Wednesday at 5 p.m. Eastern 4 p.m. central on Twitch and Ruchertit.com. You can watch it on state farms, Twitch,

and also all the contestants have it on their Twitch as well. And on Ruchitith.com and Ruchitith YouTube and Twitch and everything. Basically, you go watch it if you're on the internet. It's a five-part competition series where we do all sorts of different competitions with games and like yard games and trivia and stuff like that.

And it is a ton of fun. And it probably has the catchiest theme song I think of all time. How does it go? Nothing goes wrong in the game of hood. Good times, good vibes. Nothing goes wrong in the game of hood. Oh, pretty veggie. I have listened to it too many times

because I had to dance to it and we were recording it. I heard that a lot of times because I was scrolling through Instagram and I guess all of you posted at the exact same time. So I was like, what's the first word of it? Nothing? Yeah, so it's just like nothing, nothing. Nothing, nothing.

It's a screen recording. I was like, everyone I know is in the show. Yeah. Is that Frado, Jeremy, UBK? Michael. Oh, Michael. Yeah. And then there's a Golden Boy is a co-host with me.

If you know Esports or anything like that, you will know Golden Boy. He's also appeared on G4 with Fiona and stuff like that too. And then I'm Dante, Berleazy, and Montgomery, and Cypher PK, I believe are the other group of contestants. Everyone is super cool and super nice. That's what it looked like, a really cool set

and just like fun environment to be around. It was very, very fun and like, I'm very excited for people to watch it, I'll play through and see what happens on it. But ultimately, it's, State Farm is donating $100,000 to the children's miracle network hospitals in the winner's name, which I think is like a very cool prize.

Yeah. Because it's like, at that point, it's, who cares who wins? Because it's all for a good cause, right? I also like when like huge companies like state farm just put the bill for like our dumb shit. It's the best. It's like, oh, you're going to pay for us to have fun.

Oh, yeah. And it's like, we are part of this production that other people put on. Like, we just got to have our people be essentially the talent on the show that this other company was putting on. That's right. Yeah. It was really cool. It was really cool.

Very fun. If you do another season, you guys should be on it. I feel like I'm really happy that we have projects like this spinning up again, like after, like you talk about, like talking about looking back at pandemic and having been isolated for so long. Even though it's a lot of work, I get a lot of testing and everything

and trying to make sure everyone's safe. It's good that we're all having bigger productions and able to do things beyond staring at a webcam. Oh, I know. Right, this is right in front of me. And this is a very high version value, you can kind of show. Absolutely.

It was, it's very cool. So tune in every Wednesday, 5 PM Eastern, anywhere on Twitch, basically. Do you have the internet? That's where it is. Yeah. So I'm wondering what is it? I don't understand what it is.

Like, you're the host, right? I'm a co-host, yes. You're a co-host with Golden Boy. Yes. I'm trying to think of how to sum up what these people live in the game or hood together. I'll try to explain it the best I can. Okay.

So, yes, there's these A contestants who live in the game or hood, each person has their own house. And throughout the competition, they do rounds of trivia and gaming. That gives them different amounts of points. And then they face off against Jake from State Farm and could wager points that they have earned if they're at the top of the leaderboard.

That's when they battle Jake. And based on if they win against him, they could either double their points or go back to zero or anything like that. And ultimately, whoever is the top of the leaderboard at the end of the five parts of the competition gets their name, gets the donation in their name. What's it like working with Jake from Safe Farm?

Because he's like a celebrity, but he's like everyone knows him, but he's also like not like, ah, give me an autograph. What is that, what is that like? It's so weird because it's almost like a cartoon character when you meet them because their, like his name's not, I don't know if I'm allowed to say, but his real name is not Jake. What?

Oh, so what part is, I guess what I think he's about? But what we all call him Jake. Is that Michael keeps telling me that the prizes that your friends with Jake from state That's so I think what Michael is playing for. Oh, that's not what the prize is No, I mean I think that's like the secondary mode of us to I people because you get to play against Jake if you're at the top of the leaderboard Everyone wants me they he's like yeah, yeah, it's competition. The winner gets to be friends with Jake from State Farm.

So, you know, I got a lot to lose, but I got a lot to gain. Yeah. I think Michael was bummed because he'd sent me a picture of him and Jake from State Farm. And I was like, who's that? Yeah. And he was like, he was like, he's Jake from State Farm.

I was like, what's State Farm? Let's forget it. You're far enough. You're taking the wrong person to talk to about that. No, he's super nice though. But it is. I heard nothing but great things. Yeah, I remember when we did like a first meeting

to get to know everybody and stuff like that and like a walkthrough of the set and stuff like that. And everyone was like taking pictures of Jake and he was just like the chillest person, but it was like, you are like a cartoon character. Yeah. Cause he's in his red shirt, khakis, and everything like that. He did wear khakis the whole time,

whether it was pants, form, or short form. Commitment. Of course. So yeah, tune in. It was a very fun, very fun time. And it will be continued to be fun. Yeah. How long is that gonna go on for? Did you say? Five, tune in. It was a very fun, very fun time and it will be continued to be fun Yeah, how long is that gonna go on for? Did you say five five parts? So we just had the first part It's basically everyone's day in June. Okay

So yeah, got it got a little while ago Nothing goes wrong and came You can't scroll pass it now Still wish clear is your teeth would green light my show where I have a room filled with 12 men and I give one of them a Viagra. Stop, you're just... This is such a good idea. Can we actually do that?

Is that, can we get that sponsor? And then you have to figure out who's got the Viagra. It's the stop. Move on, you're getting your idea. I'm finishing this for years. It's the stop. What? Move on. Again, you idea. I'm finishing this for years, is it? No one will.

Why did it just fund it yourself? Yeah. Just do it outside. You know what? Let's do it. Let's go find 12 guys and give one of them a Niagara. Yeah. And we'll film it and say, this is for our new project.

But more than 12 guys showed up to your butt, they just picked some of them. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. And Gus, you'll be there too, won't you? We get stuff. Yeah, good times. I feel like we kind of talked about all of the different new shows that are out and everything that's going on. I feel like we kind of danced around talking about Kenobi. And I'm shocked you didn't want to talk about it more or bring it up more. I'm in a weird position with Star Wars where I know that this sounds like a fucking never going to happen dream. But I want to work on a Star Wars project at some point in my life.

So I'm always very reluctant to shit talk. And it's also a matter of the entire series isn't out yet. So I don't want to judge it too soon. So you want to shit talk is what you're saying. There's a couple of things where I'm like, there, I'd have been saying this from the beginning. In episode four, Vaters like, when I left you, I was a learner. Now I'm the master.

You're talking about a new hope. Yeah. And just based off of, and I don't wanna give too much into spoilers, in the case people haven't seen, but like based off of how that dynamic between Kenobi and Vader is going on in the show and stuff, it's not following along with that and it kind of bugs me.

And then they're also doing just some weird stuff with like Vader's power level. And it's like, Vader could fucking wipe the floor with a lot of dudes and stuff, but they're doing stuff where it's like, oh. I think he was separated by a big fire. You're reaching that point where you're having, like this was always, I felt like the danger zone

that they're in now. Where you're trying to reconcile the powers of the Jedi as shown in the prequels Versus the power of the Jedi as shown at the start of a new hope Yeah, where's like there's a big gap in that and it's like how do you get from these like Practically demigods to it is like that real lame low energy lightsaber fight what's it? Who's erected a chow she did she did some of the better episodes of Mandalorian. And she's fucking great. But like, you know, that being said,

they're like, you oughta looked at it next wing. So it's not like their Jedi aren't like dog shit, you know, by the time that the new, so you just want it to not, you want it to like very closely match everything that was said in the films, because that's like the cool material. If it was deviates from that then you don't have to do that. If it was my, if I had my druthers, Kenobi invader wouldn't have met.

It would have been the last time that they saw each other was when he was burning on Moose to Far and then they see each other again in like on the Death Star. I only have seen the first two episodes of Kenobi. I think they're at three, yeah. For what's coming out Wednesday? But the reason I asked who the director was is because there are some moments in the show that really threw me off and like made me

like be taken out of it. One in particular was the chase scene with Princess Leia. Yeah. Where it's like, here are these two professional assassin killer hunter people who can't catch a... A little girl. A little 10 year old girl.

And it's like, she runs under a tree and then one of them like bumps into it and you're like, oh! They see the tree and then they bump their shoulder into it. And if, I don't know, I'm not saying I'm better than Deborah Chaff, she's fucking great. She's killing it. That would have been-

That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been-

That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been-

That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- That would have been- Yeah. But, yeah, stuff like that, there's a few scenes like that. And even with Kenobi and Leia in the marketplace area, like them kind of going through and not being as stealthy as they should have been in a scenario like that where everyone's looking for them, I don't know. It was just. Yeah. But overall, you happy exists over it and not existing.

Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, I love watching you, McGregor. And I like that they're giving a Christian's in the chance to, I don't like think that he, I love watching you, McGregor, and I like that they're giving a head and Christians in the chance to, I don't like think that he, I don't know. It's nice that he's getting a second whack at it. Even if it's like a little bit more subtle and he's like, he's got the costume on and stuff like that,

like you can notice in the close ups, like that's head and Christians and acting. And something that I thought was interesting is like, I'm getting the sense that it's Anakin in the suit more so than I have before, because it always felt very black and white to me, like, oh, that's Anakin, oh, that's Vader, but now it feels like there's something in the performance

and there's something in the way, knowing that it's Hayden Khrushson and the suit and a lot of those shots, they're like, oh, that feels like Anakin. Like, he hasn't fully gone to the Vader that you know. Did you find it weird that the moment he got burned, they stuffed him into the Vader suit. What do you mean?

Like I felt like that would have been a longer process of like, something else coming. Like something sort of pod to keep him like, it's like they had the whole suit ready. Don't they put him in a back to tank first? Did they? No, and then. Oh, do they put him straight into the,

I mean he's going in like charred into the suit. They have him, they have him like in like, it's a pod that's floating in, it's very similar to the pod that Padme is in, whenever, shot into the suit. They have him, they have him like, and like, it's a pod that's floating and it's very similar to the pod the Padmaze Inn, whenever she's delivering the babies. But like, so the Vader suit, and they'd get into this and like, the extent, it's been like the Lord stuff. The Vader suit's designed to make it painful

for him to live in that suit. Like, Anakin's like in pain in the Vader suit because he can make some more evil. He's like, he's in pain and pain, you know, creates like more like our side. Before he got, oh, smashed up and chod. They did, they have the suit red. What was the suit ready for?

Like the suit existed. Engine it and ready to go. And I thought, that's what surprised me the most about episode three is I was like, oh, like that's it. He's Vader now. Like he's gone, that's it. Like, I just looked, you're right. I'm watching the scene.

They put his charred body on the table and then put the suit of the horror and put them into the suit. Yeah, that was what was the most surprising thing to me. Maybe they're just working on a suit for anyone. Just in case someone gets hurt enough that they can't live on their own. And we gotta keep them in pain.

Yeah. Well, like according to legends, like all of that stuff is like it's sith technology and sith, you know, this and that. So it's like, I don't know. Maybe Palpatine predicted that shouldn't be like. Do sith have scientists and I thought it was always two. No, well, so like that's before the rule of two

was established that like the s Sith were more of a race. They talk about it in Rebels, there's a whole planet where it's just fucking charred bodies. It's kind of like, it looks like the aftermath of a nuclear explosion or something like that, but it's just battlefield-like charred bodies and the Sith homeworld and shit. Maybe I'm getting them mixed up. I don't know. It's pretty cool. But the rule two, so the inquisitors that are in the show,

they're constantly fucking bickering and trying to get the favor of Vader, that's why the rule two exists. Because otherwise all the dark side users would be like, I'm the leader, I'm the best one. So they have to have that order and that's how they need to kill everyone but two. Right. But then like they have like dark side users

so they can finagle other people for life. I'm gonna take a montage of Star Wars clips of really dark things happening. Anakin's charred body being put in to Vader and put it to nothing goes wrong in the game. Yeah. All right, well let's go and wrap this up. Thanks for watching everybody.
