Very close. All right, Barbara, do so excited to tell everybody! Very close! Very close. Alright, Barbara, do you want to tell us what was the cool milestone that you hit this week?
Starting point is 00:03:09 So Gavin and I both moved here to the United States of America five years ago and have both been working really hard on trying to make our time here permanent. Did you do it? And this morning I received a message saying congratulations! Your green card was approved Barbara is now a resident alien is that what green card means permanent resident permanent resident Congratulations
Starting point is 00:03:40 American lines up, huh? You hit me in the eye It's nice to rub it in I don't have one. Oh, I don't have one yet So I'll join you up that one day. I was abusing Barbara all day today because now she's an American and there's nothing American take more than other Americans So now Barbara is a resident technically she's not an American. No, she's a pretend American She's not not a citizen, but she's a woman American Not a citizen, but a woman American So now Barbara's your citizens Barbara is a permanent resident and I'm some dude who has a long commute Yeah, you got a really long commute. You're living on your visa, dude. Mm-hmm. I would tell you I
Starting point is 00:04:21 So I was most excited to tell you out about people I bet very happy for you and proud of you This is not the reaction of your day. Your day will come soon. What do you want from me? We wanted you to be miserable. We're hoping that you were gonna be so sad. Do you remember when you got your visa before you got mine and I was like, hey, congratulations. How do you feel though? What's working underneath the surface there? What do you got? Well, that's cool and I want one too.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Yeah, very nice. I'm somewhat related, not quite the same. I recently applied for and got my global entry, which is, I applied for it, didn't know this. They said, you're pre-approved. Now you have to schedule your interview in 30 days, otherwise you lose your 100 bucks. Yes, you just have to schedule it.
Starting point is 00:04:56 That doesn't mean the interview has to happen within 30 days. You think I have like four days left. That I have to do that. Just schedule it. So the problem is, you schedule it. You, if you want to book it in in Austin like there's no slots left this year You'd have to book for like early next year. What?
Starting point is 00:05:07 So what I did was to get around it. I flew to Houston and I did my interview in Houston Is that the place you couldn't have your cell phone by any chance? No, but it we were probably in the same office I talked to you about that off camera. Okay. What wait what you couldn't have your cell phone when I went to go do my green card stuff I was no longer have my cell phone in there. I was the same as the government government building So you you in a place guest that where you could never cell phone. Yes, you were yeah, what are you doing? I can't Something like related to families. I don't really want to get into it. I can tell you later. Okay, that's right It's not like a gust story The most board you've ever been it was terrible
Starting point is 00:05:42 They I told the longer version of the story on a previous podcast. I think you guys weren't on it the most bored you've ever been? It was terrible. They, I told the longer version of the story on a previous podcast, I think you guys weren't on it. The short version is, since you can't use your cell phone, there's nothing to do in that office. They have a TV on the wall and they were playing man of steel. They then ended, they put batmen versus superman on.
Starting point is 00:05:58 I was like, oh my god. Anyway, okay, so all that aside. So I had to go to Houston to do my global entry, right? P&M. You're gonna be able to figure out where you were based on those two minutes. So I booked my flight well in advance, because I knew I was going, I had this date picked out,
Starting point is 00:06:12 the date was months in advance. Then like the night before the flight, I got an email from the airline saying, hey, you've been a couple of entry upgrade to first class, like sweet. But when I look at my boarding pass on my phone, it doesn't have a seat. It says C agent. I was like, no, that's a that's a airline. That was United. I hate that shit. It's all the
Starting point is 00:06:31 does that all the time. That's a little weird, but whatever. You know, I've seen it every now and then. It's a little unusual, but I've seen it before. So I get to the airport and like before I go through security, I check where like where you, you know, where you first check in for the flight. I'm like, Hey, my board of pass says C agent. Is that something you all can help me with? They're like, oh, no, no, just go to the gate. They'll take care of it there.
Starting point is 00:06:51 I was like, okay, so I go through security. I go to the gate and I'm like, hey, my board of pass says C agent. They're like, okay, yeah, we'll take care of it. Just go sit down, we'll find you. Uh-oh. It's like I sit down and- The plane starts boarding and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:07:04 mm, something's happening. So I. The plane starts boarding and I'm like something's happening. So I go up to the gate and I'm like hey, um, you're all still working on that. They're like yeah, um, it turns out that the plane we got was smaller than the plane we thought we were going to get. So what? They said you got, they told me they said you got upgraded from economy to first class, but the seat you're supposed to sit in at first class doesn't exist. So downgrade me back. I'm like, okay, so I had a seat before. So you went from a... In a comic grade. So you upgraded it to a side of a plane.
Starting point is 00:07:32 But then they were like, well, we're trying to move you back to your seat and economy, but we can't get it to work. I was like, what do you mean you can't get it towards you? It's just not working. Every time I do it, it says like, you know, some whatever database connection error. I was like, someone's like you'll see and I was like well is I was like well what are you gonna do like she's like don't worry don't worry you're gonna get on the plane you know what we'll get this straightened out I was like okay so then like I sit down again everyone's bored at the plane it's just me like left in the gate and I'm like I go to the desk like she's not gonna close the door right like I need to get on that play I'm fucking with you at this point she's like yeah I don't know that can't
Starting point is 00:08:05 down you being stuck outside and that being one mtc on the plane and they just can't put you in it and then eventually she was like like it's get it's like five minutes to were supposed to take off and the lady at the desk is like you know what to go get on the plane what I was like what she was yeah I just I'm never heard of that my life just get on and yeah and she's like I'll fix it when you're in the air That's awesome. I was like, uh, okay, so then I wait so the seat's empty, right? So you're not just like standing in a full plane like right right like your the lights are on the subway and it's not like he's some stranger He just strode up on a plane. I was on the original. I was on there. They've checked right
Starting point is 00:08:40 I've already done all of that so then I walk up to the gate and the lady lady's like can you boarding pass? And I was like um she just told me to walk over here and get on the plane. She's like, oh, okay, I've already done all of that. So then I walk up to the gate and the lady, the lady's like, can I have your boarding pass? And I was like, she just told me to walk over here and get on the plane, she's like, oh, okay, yeah, go ahead. Right. So that would work. Just like, yeah, let me on the plane. She said it's cool. So where did you end up sitting?
Starting point is 00:08:56 In the bulkhead, like the first row of, Econ, which is where I booked myself in the plane. You got that. That day. Yeah, so it was probably the equivalent of where your first class C was, but it was. It's probably because I was in the middle of the class. So I got on the plane and class C was, but it was. It's probably exactly what was in your mind. It's like I got on the plane and flew down Houston.
Starting point is 00:09:07 But then I was worried the whole time I was in Houston. It's like if she didn't fix it and they think I didn't get on the first leg, they're gonna cancel my return leg. So it's like the whole time I was stressed out, I was freaking out. I was driven that. Well, I thought it would be way easier to deflaught.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Yeah. They replaced also I booked myself the interview. There's two interview locations in the Houston airport, one inside a security, and one outside a security. I'll book myself on the inside security, one, because it's less people gonna go there, it's easier to get in and out. So I could be good with that.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Yeah, so I don't have to go back to security to go back on your flight. Yeah, so that's why I didn't fly there. That's why. Good answer. So then I get there, and it was an interesting experience. So again, since it's a government office government office there's science everywhere like no cell phones and all of them were upside down for some reason which is really weird to me
Starting point is 00:09:49 because you'll pay attention to them and the uh... it's like that laundry what is it with that laundry? what is it with that laundry? is it is that in other parts of the world? no it's just an Austin I've only seen that in the country there's a laundry yeah there's a like a laundromat where you know it's this laundry
Starting point is 00:10:03 laundry and it's upside down it just has an upside down it's like can laundromat where, you know, this is laundry laundry. And it's upside down. It just has an upside down way. It's like, canter is pizza pizza. Longer your laundry. I don't know what that means. Classic. So I walk into this office in Houston, right? And the office is about the size of this podcast set.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Oh, really? It's tiny. And it's like one dude, like one customs officer at a desk and he's in a smaller couch. He's interviewing someone. I guess like doing their global entry interview and he's like, I'll be with you in a minute. Okay, so I sit down, whatever, they finish up.
Starting point is 00:10:28 And I go up to do my thing and I'm talking with him. And I guess you can see all of my information because they do like a background check on you and they have all, they have, you know, your whole life on the screen in front of them. He's like a filmmaker, huh? He's like, yeah, yeah, I guess. What kind of films you make?
Starting point is 00:10:41 Well, I was like, it's complicated, you know, we do stuff on the internet. You make it sound like porn. Yeah. It's not porn. It's comedy. And he goes, oh, okay, he's like, I guess what kind of films you make? Well, I was like, it's complicated, we do stuff on the internet. You make it sound like porn. Yeah, it's not porn. It's not porn. It's comedy. And he goes, oh, he's like, I love movies. Like, I love watching movies.
Starting point is 00:10:51 I was like, oh, really? He was like, I'm a huge fan of Wes Anderson movies. He's like, oh, what's that Wes Anderson movie that was filmed in Houston? It's like, oh, Rushmore. I said, no, I love Rushmore. It's one of my favorite movies. He was like, yeah, I love that.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Is he quizzing you? I don't know. And this is going to make you push for more. We're going to be more. Were you then like, shut the fuck up. I don't care about your life. So that true feel more. We ain't gonna make you feel more. Were you then like shut the fuck up, I don't care about your life? So that true American fashion. So then he's like, yeah, he's like,
Starting point is 00:11:09 I really like good films, you know, I hate those trashy films. Like a friend of mine inviting me over to his place. He's got a pool and he had a screening for that movie, Shark Danko. I was like, Shark Danko? Yeah, I was like, what?
Starting point is 00:11:23 He's like, yeah, you know, Shark Danko, the sharks and they're like flying in the air. I was like, what? He's like, yeah, you know, Shark Daco, the sharks, and they're like flying in the air, I was like, I'm the danka. Okay. He's like, what's your, you didn't ask me, like, what's your favorite film? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:35 I was like, I like Ghost Roll a lot. I think Ghost Roll is a really good movie. He's like, I don't think I've seen that one. I was like, it's got Thor, Birch, it's got your hands. He's like, oh, yeah. It's also got Steve Buschemi in it, right? Wow. He's fun, I don't think I've seen that one. I was like, it's got Thorber, just called. You're having to go, oh yeah. It's also got Steve Buschemi in it, right? Wow, it's guys. He's fucking with you.
Starting point is 00:11:48 He's fucking with you. I was like, okay, is this a test? Like what you said. Yeah, he's fucking with you. It feels like, because he heard you were a filmmaker, so he's testing you by throwing out something and you know, maybe you don't know about it. I don't know, but I got into your shift and you'll find that.
Starting point is 00:12:01 I never said anything. I didn't question it. Got through the interview real fast and everything was fine. But like in my head, I'm like, but I was your shift, you'll find that. I never said anything, I didn't question it. Got through the interview real fast and everything was fine. But like in my head, I'm like, was I being tested? And did I, like, did I fail some kind of test? You should have been like, hey, what's that, like, natural disaster called with a wind going at a circle? A toe of dango.
Starting point is 00:12:14 No, wasn't. You had a toe of dango. Steve, you're scum. He dies in a toe of dango. Now, there was one other thing that he said, where I can't remember what it was at the time. But you should have messing up like government agencies. Like, I did pay taxes to the iris
Starting point is 00:12:28 See if he calls you on it see if he's really a government agent. I didn't pay taxes to ISIS I love that a barbers first day with a green card. She wore the most fucking Canadian shirt that you could possibly imagine She looks like a lumberjack mounting. I also have camo pants Canadian thing? Yeah. I think so. So, since you've taken one more step down the road to becoming an American citizen, is that the goal? Are you going to become an American citizen?
Starting point is 00:12:52 No. No. You don't be like us and like Spins. For five minutes. For five minutes. 12 hours out of your day so you can save like five minutes at a time over the next 10 years. I would like an out if Trump becomes president.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Oh, you always come back to Canada. Exactly. But are you taking one more step down the road towards American citizenship at least? All I want to do is be able to live here and not have to worry about it. I beg of them, I'd like that too. If you think you've got to give up your British citizenship
Starting point is 00:13:17 and we'll give you residency today, you just got to give it up. No, I'm going to do that. See, Gavin and I would have to give up our citizenship to get American citizenship. Right, really? Yeah. Today, making a decision, you can be a US citizen
Starting point is 00:13:31 and you just have to renounce. Yeah. Is that a thing? Do you have to go like pull your hand up and say some special words? Bye. Or in Jermon, Kiegel. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:13:39 No, I mean, if your stuck is an American citizen, you have to pay American taxes no matter where you are or where you are. It's the same with Canada. If you're a Canadian resident or citizen, you have to pay taxes on all your income. Yeah, but even outside Canada. But I became a non-resident, so. Right, but Americans can't do that.
Starting point is 00:13:58 You can't just be a non-resident. Really? You're in or you're out, you're paying taxes as your citizens. Oh wow. Yeah, I just had to file this paperwork that's like, yeah. Yeah, most places like that. The only way to get out of it is to renounce your US citizenship And even then when you renounce it It's not necessarily that easy that easy
Starting point is 00:14:11 I've heard before that when some people try to renounce your citizenship for this reason The government will force them to pay for you know projected lost tax revenue over the rest of your life There's a swap you could do is someone trying to get citizenship Yeah, I love the idea of like going to apply to not be a citizen and the US is just like No denied You're one of us still you're pay us the next 30 years of your life taxes right now And then we'll attract what does that they do that? I took another citizen anymore. Go fuck yourself What if you take your own death pre-pay tax? I've heard that let me verify it just to be safe
Starting point is 00:14:44 Oh, what if you fake your own death does that count? It I've heard that. Let me verify it just to be safe. What if you fake your own death? Does that count? It's fraud. Well, if you fake it then they don't know. If you're bad at faking it, then yeah, you probably get in trouble for that. You can just ask them that in the interview. They go, oh, you asked $80,000 in taxes ago. But I'm dead. Oh my god. This fake did. You can't get me to pay taxes. So somebody on Twitter whose name is Boston Tom, who says he's a British citizen with
Starting point is 00:15:10 a name like Boston Tom. I can't think of a least. Maybe it's in Boston. A British name to call yourself then Boston anything. But I don't have to give up. I didn't excuse me. I have to give up my British citizenship when I became a US citizenship. That was exactly how he wrote that. So apparently when Boston Tom got his US citizenship he did not have to get it. Uh, Boston Tom, what year did that have Boston Tom?
Starting point is 00:15:33 So nobody believed they're gonna have Boston Tom. It might be a place. Well, maybe now he lives in Boston. Well, yeah, he does, but it's like, I don't know. If I'm British, I'm not moving to Boston. That's such an important city for the American Revolution. I'm changing my... I'm changing my fuck out of Boston. I handled to Austin Gav. Austin Gav. Gav ATX. I find like everything on me pops a lot more.
Starting point is 00:15:51 I'm going to like lately a little bit, huh? Maybe it's because we've had so much god damn rain in Austin. What makes you pub? That up to do with your bounce, Bob. These are barometric, good luck gets off. The barometer gets all wonky and then your pressure. You get pressures and it's not. Oh, the pressure.
Starting point is 00:16:08 There you go. Come on, pressure power. You think that affects more than just flying a lot? Oh yeah, yeah, I've been flying a bunch too. I get headaches now. I get a day long headache after I fly. I flew recently and was next to a guy who just wanted to talk the entire time.
Starting point is 00:16:23 You see, you got a friendly face. No, but it wasn't even just to me, he was a middle seat. I was on the aisle seat and there was a guy on the window seat. And he was talking to the guy on the window seat when I sat down thinking like, oh, maybe these guys knew each other or like they could all- You just got to give answers that are too short. Not rude, but just like-
Starting point is 00:16:38 I didn't. I had my headphones in. He was like looking at something I was doing. I was playing Cainy Crush on my phone because like my laptop was dead. He probably just, looking at something I was doing, I was playing cany crush on my phone because like my laptop was dead. He probably just thought you were hot and wanted to flirt. I don't, he was like an older guy.
Starting point is 00:16:51 No. And like he kept asking me what level I was on. And then he ordered, you know those bottles of wine you could get on the flights. Yeah, maybe you want citizenship. They're about this big. I got the fast track. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:02 These are the bottles of wine you could get on flights. He ordered four of these. Let me show you my global entry. I had a friend who was recently on the plane, and he sat next to you, and I'm gonna be very vague about this. It was some months ago, and this person was on a plane, and I was on the same plane, and I saw this person get on the plane and talk to every other person, like in the aisle seat as she came down the aisle,
Starting point is 00:17:27 and that was like quite a person, just chatty. And I was sitting far in front of my friend, and she also had a dog, a full-sized dog with her, like a decent-sized dog. Was it one of those service dogs? It was a service dog. She ended up sitting right next to my friend on the plane. And the service dog had to like go underneath the seat in front of her
Starting point is 00:17:45 Like barely fit, but luckily was a well-trained dog. He was like a great guy. I said the dog and a baby I mean, I decided to be really how big was the dog so service dog so wedged under the so what was the comic about it? What was your service dog? Well, what kind of service was the dog like a like a lab? I was like a military. It was a FEMA dog I was on that flight with you right from Baltimore. It was a FEMA dog. I was on that flight with you, right, from Baltimore. It was a FEMA dog? It was FEMA. FEMA is, I don't know what it stands for,
Starting point is 00:18:10 but it's like the federally murdered and you're being a management. Yeah, it's emergency response. Like it's FEMA's the team that went into New Orleans after Katrina. Yeah, when you said, when you said, when you said,
Starting point is 00:18:19 I thought you meant what like, what actual type of dog. Like a, and I was like, like a lab. That's either a rescue dog or an even sadder kind of dog, which is a dog that's there to find dead bodies. Probably.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Yeah, but it just give it a tree off to it. Is it what we find? Now, I'm just saying it's just a sad purpose to train a dog to find dead bodies. That's rough. What do you think that dog was for? Anything else that FEMA would have a dog for us? Probably a fine body.
Starting point is 00:18:41 Yeah, right? Is it look for the bones? It look for the FEMA? Well, they're not. Very good. That's that's a good one. So while it's trained FEMA dog. So it used to be if you renounce your citizenship you had to file taxes for the next 10 years anyway. That is no longer the case. But if you are if your net worth is over two million dollars you have to pay exit tax. Wow how much is tax? It does not say.
Starting point is 00:19:06 $1 million. So my friend was in no mood to, like deal with all this because she was, ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch the lady a question, he said, what is a service dog? What kind of service dog is it? And it was an emotional support dog, which I, what is that? It's like there to keep you calm. Maybe it's people who experience traumatic personal like with plane or something like that. It just gives you nice affection if you're nervous. Yeah, but it's like that's affection.
Starting point is 00:19:38 Like what's the training that you give the dog to be that? Just like, just a real friendly dog. Just a friendly dog that like watches out. Yeah, I think the dog like picks up on cues, like, there's a real friendly dog. There's a friendly dog that like watches out. Does it like, yeah, I think the dog like picks up on cues, like when you're upset. Oh, yeah. I thought commercial with a veteran who had PTSD
Starting point is 00:19:50 and the dog woke him up from a bad dream. That's the kind of thing that this. Or I can just like, to like, never have heard of that. Come up to get pet when you can see Europe set. Never have heard of that. So it's pretty awesome though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:01 The dogs can be used for that. Dogs are so versatile. Didn't they do something at an airport where there was a huge delay or some huge issue and every flight was delayed for days and they brought in like, corporate dogs? I think it was in Washington DC. People that had dogs.
Starting point is 00:20:16 Or people who were like, Why was it flight delayed? It was some big disasters. It was dang ghosts. They were dang ghosts everywhere. They couldn't fly the ones because all the fucking dang ghosts. They showed dang everywhere. They couldn't fly the one because all the fucking Dankos. Showed Dankos.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Real bad weather. They had F5 Dankos everywhere. Yeah, I got something I want to read. They named it James, Dankos. Wondermind, everyone, this episode of the podcast is brought to you by MianDies. Whether you're wearing a suit or sweats, you spend almost 24 hours a day in your underwear, but instead of making a statement, like Superman's Tights Under is everyday clothes, your underwear is probably boring.

Starting point is 00:21:18 That's m&D's.com slash rooster teeth for 20% off your first order. M&D's.com slash rooster teeth. Big thank you to meandys. I am wearing the render way right now. Show me. That's a great mental. Prove it.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Oh, they cut away from you. Yeah. Oh, I have that same pattern. They're fucking running for the camera. You're not getting a close up on that, yeah. Yeah, you are. Get in there, man. Mix it up.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Don't be shy. So why we got wheels now. Yeah, we have a whole bunch of new studio equipment that the audience can't see. So people on Twitter explaining me what emotional support dog does. Emotional support dogs react to cues, they mean a different kind of cue,
Starting point is 00:21:56 and are taught to ground the person by laying down on them. That would freak me out of a dog fucking laid on me. Among other things. I was thinking it was gonna rain. There's problems. Are there also like some dogs? The barometry is off. That they can help.
Starting point is 00:22:10 But people with really bad diabetes, like they can smell when people's blood sugar is off. Really? Oh, well. Because you can't tell, supposedly you can't tell when you're having low or high blood sugar, even though people, or maybe that's blood pressure. I think about blood pressure.
Starting point is 00:22:22 See, if you're pressing, you need a broma. For a pressure, you do need a broma. Hey, no, you can tell when you have a low blood sugar. You can tell really easily. So I think it's's blood pressure. I don't think I'm about blood pressure. Say for pressure, you need a broma. For pressure, you do need a broma. Hey, no, you can tell when you have a low blood sugar. You can tell really easily. So I think it's high blood pressure. Maybe it's high blood sugar. People will say I have high blood pressure. I feel like I have high blood pressure,
Starting point is 00:22:33 but there's apparently just literally no way to tell if you have it or not. Was it cool when you feel disconnected from the... I probably have asked this, what were you don't feel connected? Astronaut syndrome. Whenever I would have like, whenever I got like panic attacks The feeling that I always got
Starting point is 00:22:50 Was that things would flatten out like everything felt too dimensional to me. I don't know how I was to explain it And I felt trigger those for you Well, it was right after college and I finished my movie Graduated from college and broke up with my girlfriend all within a one month period. And I guess I didn't realize the amount of stress or like the end of a lot of stress. Big pudge.
Starting point is 00:23:11 Yeah, and I just like, what triggered it for me was, I was doing something, I was like cleaning out a box of shit that I had. Like it was just like random knick knacks and stuff. I'm gonna go through that box. I'm gonna throw it away. And there was a bunch of dust and everything, got my nose and everything.
Starting point is 00:23:25 And I got like a really fast heart rate from that. Like, I don't know why. I got like 120, 130. And I thought, I had to measure it. What does that mean? It's you just count. You could count, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:39 I don't know how to measure your heart rate. No, I mean, like you actually, you went out of your way to think, man, my heart's fast, I'm gonna measure it. I know how fast 120 is. I'm just saying it was beating very fast. What's your resting heart rate? No, I mean like you actually, you went out of your way to think, man, my heart's fast, I'm gonna measure it. I know how fast 120 is. I'm just saying it was beating very fast. What's your resting heart rate, Gavin? What would you say? What's a normal resting heart rate for a human being? All right, 70? There you go. Yeah, you're right. I think 72 is what it is. My resting heart rate is actually really fast. Is it fast? Yeah. Really?
Starting point is 00:24:00 That's usually about like 90. You're burnt out? 90.'re not 90. Yeah, really? Mine's normally around 92. Yeah, I just have really fat hair. Right, it's too. 90 as well, fucking dickhead. Well, you know what, Lance Armstrong's is? It was like 45 or 12. Yeah, it was like 40. Is it like, if you get more,
Starting point is 00:24:17 I can go slower? It's just two seconds. What's that? How much of the steroids take off of that? No, no, no, no, it's fucking. Is it like, if you be injected a steroid straight into his fucking slow ass heart. We allegedly better shape slower, right?
Starting point is 00:24:30 That he injected steroids into his heart. I missed that one. That was a joke, obviously. Yeah, he did, he admitted to Oprah. To using the steroids. No, we're thinking about Lance Armstrong's. And let's go back to Barbers. What do you want to know?
Starting point is 00:24:41 I just heard that if you're more in shape, it's slower. It is. But I don heard that if you're more in shape, it's slower. It is. But I don't know if that's true. Well, if it beats faster, you'll burn off a lot of calories. Well, people have different size hots too. Yes, they do. What?
Starting point is 00:24:56 They do Gavin? A big hobby. Yeah, like a five-row kid has a different size heart than a 30-year-old man. People like hearts. Slightly different size. People like hearts. Right, so be fast. Yes, a baby's heart rate is faster like hearts. Slightly different size. People like hearts. So be Fasta.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Hmm? Yes, a baby's heart rate is faster. But their bodies are also smaller, right? So it's like less force needed to move the blood around. Well, I still get up to the brain pretty quick, isn't it? It's newer blood. It's much of a distance.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Yeah, I mean, what's that to that on a baby? Right, no that much. The babies are growing. So the heart has to be sure it can keep up if there's like a little bit of stretch. Like the head's getting further away. It has to like constantly be shooting for where the head's gonna be.
Starting point is 00:25:28 So as to say amount of beats, it's just spread over a larger body. Is that's the way it works? Yeah, okay, right. A million dollars, but you'll hot. No big enough that you, I need to beat once a minute. No way.
Starting point is 00:25:37 But you can feel every beat. Cause it'll be like, I need to feel or you'll blood go like, I need terrible to live with. I mean, would you be able to see the last thing ever? That's the worst thing ever described No I'm gonna lie there would be like a million dollars for that Every time I slide around in my seat by the way the camera guys are having to shift everything so well
Starting point is 00:25:56 I got wheels now so it's fine It's easy. The podcast chair is always so slippery. Well I end up doing the Gus like slow and steady slide down So you had a high fast butt I'm gonna go slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow's like, I, you know, playing the dirt and have fun. And I, you know, I did all that stuff, like I played in the dirt constantly, but she was mainly worried about us getting hurt. That was the main thing, or we get like some kind of like serious sickness. And so I, as a result of that, I was kind of like a hypokondri act.
Starting point is 00:26:36 And when I had this, like a... Is there a T on the other that way? Hypokondri act? No. Did you see it here? Did I say T? Did I say T? Hypokondri act? No. Did you see it here? Did I say that I say T? Hypocondriac? I think I said it right.
Starting point is 00:26:47 I think I might've said with the T, I think it's right. Hypocondriac. You think that's right? Oh, he did say it with the T there. No, I said it with the T that's how I'm purpose. I think there's no T. Hypocondriac. Hypocondriac.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Yeah. I think I said with the T. I think I did. Anyway. I think you should spend three more minutes talking about it. I have this fast heart rate. I thought something was physically wrong with my heart. I thought I was having a heart attack.
Starting point is 00:27:07 That made me way more nervous. Oh, geez. And kind of like it was this thing to fed on itself. And so then later, like the next day, when I had like a panicky moment, I thought I was having another one of these episodes. I thought it was a physical problem. So I did this whole thing where like they,
Starting point is 00:27:22 they wanted to see a cardiologist and they gave me a monitor that cardiologist. Yeah, and they gave me a, they gave me a, the only hyperconjure ex can go to cardiologist. And they gave me a monitor that I wore for like 24 hours and they gave me a fine. And like literally I was, I probably went through like two or three weeks with different doctors, general practitioner, specialist and everything. And then just one guy goes, you probably just got a lot of anxiety, but I just stressed out.
Starting point is 00:27:48 So, and it was something weird, not gonna happen for everybody, and I don't wanna, you know, imply that it's this easy for a lot of people, but when somebody told me it was like a mental thing, I was like, oh, because I was scared of like having something that was gonna cause me to pass out and have a heart attack and die,
Starting point is 00:28:02 and go to cardiac arrest, whereas now I knew I was stressed, I could de-escalate very quickly. I think I remember when that happened, I knew you at that time, right? You may have. I remember you coming to work one day, and you're saying, yeah, if you're not,
Starting point is 00:28:14 they said it's anxiety attacks, and you're like, they gave me these pills to take, but I'm gonna take them. Yeah, it was a game he's so loft, and that was a big thing for me too, I was like, I kinda got the feeling that I'm like, it's not very depression. Yeah, if I started taking that, this was like late 90s, so they probably have way better thing for me too. I was like, I kind of got the feeling that if I- It's not pretty depression. Yeah, if I started taking that,
Starting point is 00:28:25 this was like late 90s. So they probably have way better stuff for anxiety now. But they gave me Zola off at the time. And I was like, I felt like if I started taking that pillow I would never stop. So I'm gonna try to tackle this on my own. Yeah, you'd probably get some sort of addiction too. I had the opposite of that the other day.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Reliance. Where I was alone at home, makes that town. I was really quiet. And I felt like just numb, and I didn't really feel like I was fully awake. And I feel like your heart was broken. Oh, that sounds like sleep paralysis. We can bet. No, no, no, it was just the middle of the day.
Starting point is 00:28:57 It was like 2 p.m. I was awake. I was just at home in my living room. I was walking around. I was just like, I feel like detached from the world right now. I feel detached from reality. Yeah, I know that feeling. I'm like, I can't really feel my footsteps very well.
Starting point is 00:29:09 I can, you're also probably over focusing on it. Like, we over focused on like all your body and, yeah, I know that feeling very well, yeah. So I just had to go like, just quickly like turn on video games and stuff like that. It's like when you start thinking about the size of your tongue and your mouth, you can't stop thinking about how to move. Hey, everyone listening to the podcast right now hates you. I know. I can't sit in my apartment without any sort of noise at all. Yeah, like if I'm home
Starting point is 00:29:33 I live alone so I'm always alone Do you have a head? Do you have a get too quiet? Yeah, it's I can't be in my apartment without something Do you have a white noise machine or do you just like turn on a TV or? I either turn on a podcast, the TV just to like anything or just like, I put Netflix on. I think that's what triggered it, because usually this mega's home and the dog is always running around like an asshole.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Dog's gone, Meg's gone, the cat was asleep and the air conditioning was off. Oh, I'm like complete silence. And you weren't doing anything? I'd just come from like one of the other rooms, I was just walking around. I was like, maybe this is all a dream and maybe I don't live here. Like you really lost it. Yeah, you've lost your connection to the earth. Yeah, someone saying what Gavin is saying every time
Starting point is 00:30:13 He talks about it. You're called what that is called is disassociation. So yes, that is disassociation. Could you experience that with a human? Like could I disassociate from Gavin? You got a green card. See easily disassociassociate from Aaron. They're like, I got a new chart. That's the first thing you said to me, wasn't it? Well, yeah, I think I said enduring a management. Well, I announced this morning at the management meeting that I got the green card. It's literally, it's definitely the other side of the room and it manager meeting. Good. Now you can dump Aaron.
Starting point is 00:30:43 And then you followed up, don't anybody say anything so we can tell Gavin on the podcast. That is true, I did. I don't know why you thought I'd be mad. I don't know. Maybe not mad, just like... Jellis. Have any reaction?
Starting point is 00:30:54 I just thought we'd see her so I don't know. I don't really get jealous. I'm just happy for you. And I do want one. You know, that is true. I should have... I should have realized that because Gavin does not get jealous.
Starting point is 00:31:05 There's two things about Gavin that I think the average person who watches all of your videos both across achievement hunter, Ruchiteeth, and the slummo guys. One thing I, two things I don't realize about you. One is that you don't get jealous at all, which I find to be a very interesting trait, but Barbara, as a woman,
Starting point is 00:31:21 you want your guy to get a little jealous, or whatever, tiny bit? No, I mean, jealous in the way that like, Well, jealous is a negative. So when you describe it as jealous, it's already gone too far. I want someone to appreciate me. Right, and Val, like kind of,
Starting point is 00:31:36 I'm not saying Gavin doesn't value that. And like feel lucky to have me. Right. So like, if you know, maybe they see you with like another guy or something, though, like get that tinge of like, no, that's mine. Yeah. Like that.
Starting point is 00:31:47 And that sense, like maybe jealous. Not in the like, we're talking to, you want to touch a possessiveness, a touch, like, like investment, like point zero, zero, zero, one. Got you. Yeah. See, jealous is a weird word because when she say jealous, they've already crossed that. Sessiveness is also kind of a weird.
Starting point is 00:32:01 It is a weird word. There's not a great way to say that. I just want someone to feel fortunate. What's the second thing about Gavin? In fact, the thing about Gavin is, Gavin is probably the most trustworthy person, I think, for like, when you talk to him, Gavin will never repeat anything anybody else says.
Starting point is 00:32:20 It's true. It's no one's business. No, I know. I know I've talked to Gavin about some stuff over the years. I know he'll never tell anybody else. And Gavin, I've been on like long trips together. We spent a lot of time together. I've never, he's never related to me anything else
Starting point is 00:32:33 that anyone else has said. So that's how I'm, am I saying that right? Yeah. So it's like Gavin does not reveal that. So I consider Gavin to be one of those people who's a vault. Probably more so than anyone else I've ever met in my life. Maybe you aren't real.
Starting point is 00:32:44 So if you ever want to murder somebody like Gavin. The Gavin know. Tune into my new show next month called other people's problems. So we've got a tweet from Andy. Uh, you say hashtag RT podcast? Who? Any Quartes? Yeah. Who reminds us that for some people now, you have to say, Hey Quartana, turn off. Oh, thank you. Get me started on that piece of shit addition to the Xbox. What's that? Change it. Like, here's the problem I have with the piece of shit addition to the Xbox. Why did they change it?
Starting point is 00:33:05 I like a kid. So here's the problem I have with it. The problem I have with it is My wife is not a video game player. Yeah, and she Regularly talks to the Xbox and now she says like Xbox do whatever and I'm like no you have to say Hick or Tana And I said why yeah, like it worked and it works totally differently. Yeah, for example I It changed so I'm getting used to it. My hate Cortana, go to Netflix, or open Netflix, this is one of that. It then opens up a Bing search with Netflix filled in. Do I want us Bing Netflix?
Starting point is 00:33:38 Is that really what the stupid thing thought I wanted to do? How did no one testing it? Try and open a nap with it. You can't open up. It's just like they changed the words, right? You want to use Bing. I don't know if Bing anything.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Yeah, we can do. And now like, for example, if you want to, like I used to say Xbox off all the time. It would say, are you sure you say yes, it goes off immediately. Now it goes, hey, could turn off, turn off. And it's like listening. And then it goes turn off and then it doesn't
Starting point is 00:34:06 think anything it's just yes or no and you say yes. It takes like three or four times longer. Why is it so much longer because of the update? Because it has to go through the incident now. It's like sending, it's like Siri. Before it was just like a local thing between you and your Xbox, Xbox off, it goes off. Now it's like, we think he wants you just being yeah do you want to bang how to turn off an Xbox that's that here we go now I want to disable it Apple TV by any chance I do do you have you ever use the microphone I love that thing is that going to the internet are just within the
Starting point is 00:34:39 Apple TV I assume it's going to the internet I think it's the same as series because through the internet yeah Yeah, interesting. But anybody having Alexa? Yeah, it's not called an Alexa. It's called an echo. Yeah, I do. I love that. I want one. Do you know how you can change how you talk to it? Like you say Alexa to get it to respond to you? But you can also change that so you can say echo or Amazon. Can you change anything? No, I want it to talk to and go. Oh, it's it's a drop now. It's one of the three. Yeah, I think the thing they said it was like we only suggest you change it from something other than Alexa
Starting point is 00:35:11 There's someone in your household name Alexa right. It's weird though to have a product always listening no that has a name But that the name you call it isn't the name of it Yeah, I go and I feel like echo and I immediately call it I feel like even they can't figure it out. Like the app used to be called echo. And now it's the like, so they're the way around. They change. Yeah, they're moving. I wouldn't be surprised if it's called the Amazon. Just call it Amazon thing. The Amazon Pylon. It can now control your thermostat, which is nice. I went on a home automation tear. I love it. Tear. Do you just have like all those like Wi-Fi enabled light? I got a lot of stuff. I'm not gonna go into details to what I have
Starting point is 00:35:47 because I don't want Gus getting in there and messing with my stuff. I'm messing with your stuff. But I walk around my house like just shouting shit all the time. Like do this, do that, do this. Tell me what this is. We use dictation more than anyone I know. I use dictation constantly because I can't type for shit.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Which is why whenever you talk about Jeff in a text it's spelled G, E, F, F and I'm like, do you not know how to spell his name? Yeah, I just see it and I'm like, I'm gonna give a fuck We're not even just said that to you Do a Jeff with a J.E.E.F.F. It happened once Still talking about it. Have you ever dictated an email before like a really long email? I can take scripts Really? Yeah, I use dragon dictateictate and that was awesome, Gavin.
Starting point is 00:36:26 I saw it. I use it in a headset. Actually, if you look at my desk right now, I've got one of those. I've seen it. Blue microphones. It looks like a big radio mic. And I just put that right in the middle of my keyboard and I just talk when I want to write stuff.
Starting point is 00:36:38 That's great. It was amazing watching you type. I'm terrible. I've typed like probably 15 or 16 feature link length trips. More than that, probably in the high 20s. And I can't type. It always, all my friends laughing me, because I can't type.
Starting point is 00:36:55 You look young. It was. She does, doesn't she? I look younger. You look like 20 today. I have to play in older parts, so I've been like aging myself out. And like one of the things is growing
Starting point is 00:37:04 like a big straggly beard and everything. So it's like this week I have to go do a thing. so I've been like aging myself out. And like one of the things is growing like a big, straggly beard and everything. So it's like this week I have to go do a thing. It's not a researchy thing, but I gotta go play an older, a person, this lady is so grumpy. Older than myself. So. So you're so grumpy. No, you know what?
Starting point is 00:37:17 I was, I'm grumpy because, should we talk about this? I'm grumpy, honestly, because I saw the fucking set for your new show, and it's way fucking better. Also, it's done, completely done, and it's a badass set. What do you want to do after me? Is that my phone? It's a badass set.
Starting point is 00:37:35 No, building our fucking set. I'm waiting to- I'm like, what the fuck? No, I mean, we probably should have put this about it. I can fucking wait like an adult. This is like the green card, very happy for you. Very happy. But it's an American.
Starting point is 00:37:44 What? Gus, come on. Nah, this is fine. What the fuck? No, my set. You didn't see it. You weren't here this morning. I don't think. Don't play this pieces of it over there.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Every time they make a new set, it's better than the last one. I would like to point out this was the first one. So it follows that trend perfectly. God damn it. It was better than every other set we had before. What was that? This was better than every other set we had before it. But think about it. Well back when the set was a post-drill hanging on the wall, the conference room. Exactly. It's better. Dickhead. Metal table.
Starting point is 00:38:15 Think of it like this though. The longer we wait for this and the more sets to get made in between now and then, the better also. I would believe that if I couldn't see our set like right behind me in shambles a new podcast Which is just like like it's like it's like an abandoned project It's like one of those places in the desert where fucking airplanes are buried in the sand That's what our set looks like that. Yeah, like there's Using it as their office I asked Patrick right before this I said I said a couple chairs
Starting point is 00:38:44 I go, wouldn't you I started explain but we made a couple of chairs. What did you, I started explaining, but we made a change to the set where we, they're usually on rolling platforms. This set is not. So it takes the crew like, how much longer does it take to set the set up every week? How much longer? A lot longer.
Starting point is 00:38:58 30 minutes longer? Like twice as long. Like a lot longer. A lot longer. You wouldn't commit to a lot of change. What? Why did it change? Because they needed our platform on which to build our new set. And I said to Patrick, I said, when do we move the set off the platform so we could start
Starting point is 00:39:16 building the new set on the platform? Probably a year ago. And I was like, he was like, July, I go, I think it was May. And somebody else goes, it was March. And Patrick was like, all right, March. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I forget when you said Patrick. I go I think it was May and somebody else goes it was March And that it was like all right March yeah, yeah, yeah, cuz we hadn't I forget when you said Patrick But they hadn't done something by that point and that was way back in March That's when that's when our set moved off the class so this is where you're grumpy and now we're listening on the floor Hey Barbara, it's too long.

Starting point is 00:40:49 It was like every time I looked at, I can't explain it all because I don't want to ruin it for people when I go see it. But they're like, oh, look what this does. This does this. I'm like, mon. I'm like, in this things, we got this thing and it'll do this.
Starting point is 00:41:00 And it's like, come on, I'm like, did you do your face of like, that's cool. I'm mad. No, I was very happy. I was very happy. I was like, I was like, I hear exactly how it went down. I was like, show me this, huh, it's cool. That's really cool. What's that?
Starting point is 00:41:13 That's really cool. Guys, this set is really fucking awesome. Matt, come here and need to talk to you. That's basically the way that we went down. That's basically the way that we went down. It's the end of the jealousy spectrum here between Gavin and Bernie. Change the fair.
Starting point is 00:41:25 It's a great set. It's a great set. It's a great set. Well, I think you're just learning about something. Gus runs the Rooster Podcast. I run this podcast in which one? There we go. Oh, true seats over.
Starting point is 00:41:35 Oh, it doesn't matter. Guys, it's fine. It's fine. Hey, Gus, let's buy a smaller couch. Yeah, let's do that. How long did I bug you to buy a smaller couch for the Rishi podcast set? Was it a year and a half?
Starting point is 00:41:49 Who cares, I don't know. Two years? By the way, do you see this couch everywhere? No. I see it in like so many movie productions. It's usually white though, instead of this black. In my night, Marius, is that couch? You don't like this couch?
Starting point is 00:42:00 I actually kind of like this couch. I don't like this couch. Yeah. You don't like this set on there? I don't even like about this couch. I'm talking about this from my office. It's bigger than the old couch. I don't like this couch. Yeah. You know, this sit on there. The only one like about this couch is that. I'm banging this for my office. It's bigger than the old couch, but you can't lay down on it.
Starting point is 00:42:09 I don't like that it collects little crumbs in the holes. Just don't drop shit on it. I mean, if it was my couch, and when I didn't have anything in it, I'm a tidy bastard. Do you have crumbs in your holes? No, I have a, I pay special attention to them. Even the bum crumbs.
Starting point is 00:42:23 The real crumb holes. I actually found something in my belly button. Everyone gets bum crums. What does that mean? Yeah, like she picked a bit of like, tapo, dark lint out of my belly button. From a t-shirt or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah, from like a black t-shirt.
Starting point is 00:42:34 Yeah. I'm like horrified now. I'm just like, well, because that was like a new step in the relationship. Well, I didn't know that my belly button had ever collected lint before. I mean, you've never checked it. I've cleaned my belly button many times,
Starting point is 00:42:46 but I never thought I'd never pulled out like of this like nugget of whatever. How did it have been a fluff? It wasn't like, how big was this nug? It was just a little fluff. It was fluff. It wasn't nugget, it wasn't crusty or anything. It was just fluff.
Starting point is 00:42:59 And it was still enough to make me go. Well, I have a question for you. Are you the kind of person who likes picking things like pimples or like if there's like an ingrown hair like pulling that out? A ruler. Yeah. Actually, he's very much, she's always like picking at me. Like you get pleasure as like like the eyebrow thing that Gavin has. I have that too where I have a couple super long hairs in my eyebrow. No, those don't last. Those are going. Oh, see that like the base of your eyebrow. No, when Ashley sees an eyebrow trellis did I ever tell you about my neck hair? No
Starting point is 00:43:29 So the beginning of the best story I can I can like 1900 okay? Gus I would like for you to tell me the story of Barbara's neck hair story of Barbara's neck hair is that she's got one hair on the side of her neck This side over here and it grows out really long and thin and Every now and then she has to pluck it when she plucks it, it just like she doesn't feel it at all. It's like an invisible hair. Right. Okay. That's wrong.
Starting point is 00:43:52 No, that's it. My barber's neck here, it's in the front where her Adam's apple used to be, and it's like a one long hair that grows out that, and if she gets embarrassed because every now and then, it's like a long hair in the front, so it's kind of like in the beard, male, facial hair region that women don't ever want to have hair in. Go. It's a hair on your neck that is connected at both ends. And you don't know which way it's growing,
Starting point is 00:44:14 but it's growing in a loop. It's like a rainbow. So I, at all times, have one neck hair. And I'll always pluck it when I see it. Let me tell you something. You have thousands of neck hair in your mind. But, I know always pluck it when I see it. Let me tell you something you have thousands of neck here. But, I know right. Whenever I pluck it the next day it'll be in a different area.
Starting point is 00:44:31 It's like a fucking whack-a-mole. Oh, so it's, it is only one of the times. One at a time. But in different locations. Yeah. That's bizarre. Like right now it's like, oh, so it is in the front. Yeah, it's right here right now.
Starting point is 00:44:44 You see it? So it's trying to get away. Like every time you plug it is trying to find a new hiding spot Like she's like I'm gonna find you see there's loads of hairs and one of them is just stuck out That's all that's happened there, but then I'll plug it and then the next day another one will be like long in a different place long long I'm sorry. I pronounce the G in long Did you do that all the time? What do you say like what okay? What have I just done to you there? Did you do that all the time? What do you say? Like, what, okay, what have I just done to you there?
Starting point is 00:45:05 I don't know, what have you done? I don't even know what that is. I was giving it or something. Give. No. Hand me something? No, no. Oh my god, so my outfit is shot on it.
Starting point is 00:45:18 With belly button and the fountain, lint in your belly button. Oh, yeah, yeah. You're right. I've got lint just about every day. That's how it grows, thing to me. I was trying to get you say giving. Giving.
Starting point is 00:45:27 Asselent. Giving. Somebody asking me on Twitter, I guess Bernie doesn't ever get ass-lint either. I know, I do what that means. No, I know that. What is ass-lint? Is it like, explain that anal collection?
Starting point is 00:45:36 All purpose and nerd. You wouldn't get any ass-lint from Modal? You know, there you go. There you go. Already read the sponsor read. She's reminding you. We didn't just drag a meandee's read into, Modal There you go Already read the sponsor read your mind to you Drag a me and these read into into oscillate that's like ironically that was your best segue to an ad read ever Hey, you know what when I'm mind you this episode of the podcast

So my kids don't like any. Thank you,k's candy. They just they don't and they actually eat children or aliens, but they don't like go out of their way to eat sweets of any kind. Which takes as a parent it takes so much bargaining power off the table. Like you won't get
Starting point is 00:47:38 dessert if you don't eat that I don't want to. So do you have anything you can hold over them? Pictures? No. How did you how did you potty train them? Like what was your like incentive for them? Because as, probably not to have shit in theiriness. As a kid, my parents would give, I believe it was one M&M to me and my brother if we like use the toilet. You were sold, you can remember being potty train? Yeah, I don't, what was the big thing with us?
Starting point is 00:48:03 Yeah, I remember. No, they told me this. Oh, okay. That's something I remember. Yeah, I don't. Where's our big thing with us? Yeah, I'm not sure. No, they told me this. This is not something I remember. Yeah, that was, that was. It was still a total of different. It's like, man, I love Eminem. Kids are all different. You can't have to shit for some reason.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Kids are all different. Like some kids will be, you know, they'll have a really tough time doing one thing and then they'll have a really easy time doing the next thing. They're really worst part about having, none of you guys have kids. I'm not, none of you do. We're all short-sort-sort.
Starting point is 00:48:24 I'm the only parent on the podcast. You are just kids, none of you do. I don't realize that. I'm the only parent on the podcast. You are just realizing? I guess I am. I don't know why. But one of the things a parent's do, young parents especially, is they all tell each other like what month the fucking kid did this or what month they did that.
Starting point is 00:48:36 And it's like this look weird like competitive thing with kids that are under a year old basically. Like he rolled over at six months or whatever and it's like, he gives a shit, you know? It's like, it's like, what a gift of 20, and he never learned to roll over. He's like, he can walk and he can run, he just graduated with an MBA, but he can't roll over.
Starting point is 00:48:52 That's suffocating. I told some of my friends with kids that before, like, oh yeah, you know, our baby learned to roll over at six months, I'm like, I don't give a fuck, I can do that. It's like, that's not impressive to me, I can roll over. Like a brag about it kid. Like, especially if it's animals, you can plop out and get up and walk around and eat.
Starting point is 00:49:06 Oh I know. Like a giraffe's up and walking in like a minute and a half. It's that wonderful time of year where social media is filled with everyone's pictures of everyone's kids going back to school. When I talk about things I do not care about. How lucky would you be as like animal in the wild to find a human baby?
Starting point is 00:49:22 I can't really say easy. How lucky would you be? Yeah I mean it's like human baby. I can't really. It's like easy. How lucky would you be? Yeah, I mean, it's like human babies. Like, they're the crazy. Oh, it's like free food. Oh yeah, if you're a tiger or whatever, it's like a jackpot. It's like finding a pair.
Starting point is 00:49:31 What, white, white. It's like, I mean, at least with a baby gazelle, you got a fucking chase it or something, baby, human, you're like, it's like snack time, let's go. Unless they could roll over, then you're in for a challenge. They roll away from you. But, yeah, we didn't, the only time I remember having a trouble with anything
Starting point is 00:49:49 where I felt like it was taking too long was my oldest JD Jack at the time. We gave him a pacifier. Like, you know, kids take, kids take pacifiers. We gave him a pacifier. I forget exactly what age, but then like, breaking him of the pacifier was a probably, it felt like a three or four month ordeal, trying to break him of the pacifier. So it was just like, it was way too hard. And then so we just didn't do any pacifiers with Teddy,
Starting point is 00:50:17 basically, we just learned our lesson. But like, Is they sucked their thomaddle? No, not that stuff. I don't know, any kids that did that. JD did this really funny thing where, when he learned to crawl, he would use his legs, I was gonna say his back legs,
Starting point is 00:50:30 but he would use his legs. And he would, he would, do this weird thing where he wouldn't use his hands, he would just plant his forehead on the ground, like a tripod, cause we had wood floors and he would just like slide his head. And he had like this callus in the middle of his head. And we just, we had to floors and he would just like slide his head and he had like this callus in the middle of his head and we just we had to break him in that habit too like but that's the last
Starting point is 00:50:50 very long you know what yeah like a glossy wood floor wasn't like like splinters and stuff to give him up to the front of his head yeah so occasionally Barbara you did you make this noise like like like like bare skin on like a slide sound, you know? So, yeah. Oh, bad. And he developed this like, little callus. It was only like, he did only do like, two weeks or three weeks. And he also did this thing when he was younger.
Starting point is 00:51:13 This is great, because he started high school today, so it's great to like tell these like, little baby stories about him. Your kids are high school? JD started high school today. Do you know when high, by the way,
Starting point is 00:51:22 if everybody is suffering through back to school, sorry about that, that sucks dude. Back to school is like the worst thing ever. Well, his was great about it though. It gets better. Like right now in my life today is great. Yeah, but don't- I think you're in a bit of a difference.
Starting point is 00:51:35 No, no, just anyway, what's your time with school? It's like, yeah, you suffer through it for a bit and then yeah, what's your time? Well, also real life. Like, Kanna is hard as well. What's the, yeah, what's the age you think Barbara, you don't know how good you have it Honestly high school high school. I think high school was probably like looking back
Starting point is 00:51:51 The easiest couple years of my life high school was probably the worst time of my life I fucking hated everything about that. I mean, I didn't enjoy it But looking back it was just like I had no real responsibility It is one million times better right now. This is the best time of my life. I would say being full was the best. Yeah, don't even know how good it is. I'd go with that.
Starting point is 00:52:12 You don't know how good you got it. But I did like having like a disposable income and like the ability to go and do things on my own. Yeah, my disposable income in high school. I had a job. Burger King, remember? Yeah. Gavin, you look so befuddled.
Starting point is 00:52:24 I worked at a Burger King. It was a disposable income. Were you make money that you don't have to spend? Yeah, you could just spend, you know, it's not accounted for basically, you know, you don't have it budgeted so you can just spend it. You just suppose you're looking for it. You have rent? Are parents house?
Starting point is 00:52:37 Did you pay rent when you were in high school? Did you have your job at waitress? Yeah, your parents are terrible. Did you pay rent when you were in high school? No, I was, as soon as I started working, I was like, pay them rent. Was it after school or what? It was still a tiny rent, but it was like,
Starting point is 00:52:50 I couldn't just be like, wait, waitress, money. No, any money I made, I could spend on whatever I was doing. It was like, I wasn't paying rent during high school. Well, that doesn't teach you anything about that. When I was in T-Joy, F4s and your GDQs. Yeah, all of my friends and my print have you will you all the way through it all the way through your A1s what is it? All right your dank host fucking school system there. I watch the school system supercut of you trying to explain me English God
Starting point is 00:53:18 School system. That's right. So were you through your GSEs GcCS, dammit. GCS, previously known as our level. Your BDSM. Where you done with all that stuff? No, I was doing that stuff. Okay, I was 16. Stop, you, Gavin, whenever you talk about school, don't take that as sumptive tone with me. Like, of course, I was only 16,
Starting point is 00:53:39 so of course I was doing my old levels, formerly known as GCC. No, as the 16 is like when you can work. Yeah. And I was just my old levels from a nose just like 16 is like when you can work. Yeah. And I was just finishing my GCSEs. Can you work at 15 in the UK for like I could work at 15. I mean, I only work only 20 hours a week. Family business just what.
Starting point is 00:53:54 So I think I'm not sure if this is correct. So people tweet me if I'm wrong. I think in Canada you could work if you're 15 as long as you're not handling cash. That's a weird thing. You're gonna say cats for a second. cats really so careful the livestock driving what what age in Canada in the UK 15 you could get your G1 Which is like I think you have to be driving the learners permit Yeah, you have to drive with someone who's had their full license for I think yeah
Starting point is 00:54:24 I thought you had to watch Grootack video so I'm driving So what are you how can you drive in the UK? You need to be 30 so come on stop. I swide and do you even know? 17 really? I'm a look to stop now. You don't even know that I think 17. Oh before I didn't do it I while I'm while I'm thinking of only briefly I I wanna thank the person, I gotta do a better job of making notes as to who, when somebody sends me something,
Starting point is 00:54:49 I get behind the picture of the note. I do. What I'll do is I'll look at the note and I'll usually save the envelope if they didn't write their address in the note they sent with it. But somebody sent me their college textbook. It is the game design textbook, a rules of play anthology edited by Katie Saillan
Starting point is 00:55:08 and Eric Zimmerman. And in it is a whole section on Red vs. Blue. That's a terrible textbook. People have always sent us, people always sent us pictures of this but I've never actually seen a textbook in person where there's a whole chapter about life. That's close.
Starting point is 00:55:22 Did you guys have to give any permissions for that? Typically we have, I don't remember this one in particular. But let me see the publication date on this bad boy. What's from the MIT press? They are reprisedegis. It's to Hampton and to Gavin. Must be about that chef. Boy.
Starting point is 00:55:43 2006. So there you go. Keeping irrelevant Boy, 2006. So, there you go. Keep it relevant back in 2006. So, I was really going to see that. It's always weird the places that Red versus Blue does show up. So, like a class, I saw a modern media. In a museum, in Germany.
Starting point is 00:55:58 In Germany. People see it a lot like educational purposes, like that textbook or like in class, people study it, or it's like there's a presentation about it. Especially outside the US. And Islamogas. Yeah. Seeing a lot of that.
Starting point is 00:56:07 I was making sure that like educational stuff and museums can just use my stuff for free. Just bung it in. You're so generous. Why I mean, they're not going to be able to pay for it anyway. I, the weekend, I installed my connect for my Xbox One. I saw this picture of this thing. Did you know that that, when they said you got to have an adapter? Here's a figure.
Starting point is 00:56:28 Yeah, what you're going to be sure. It would be a, the connect plug is like kind of a square with like a corner cutout. Right. It's kind of like a fat, almost like a USB 3- A very proprietary and very annoying. I thought it would be that, right, to USB. Right, just like a little dongle, essentially. I expected to just be like, yeah, plug the n and n and n.
Starting point is 00:56:44 No, it's a connection box and a transformer and a power plug. So now it takes up two outlets. And plus it has from what I can tell two power boxes. To yeah, one is to convert, one is to split the connect to USB and power. Also, it only works in a one, there's the picture of it. It only works in one of the USB ports. Like, you have to pick a specific port. Yeah, it has to be the one next to HDMI in. What is, what is, what is, and everyone's saying,
Starting point is 00:57:15 we'll just, hey, don't use connect, that's a good plan. But I use it, I use voice commands, I use it for like controlling, like, how much would you give if the Xbox 1S had just had a mic in it? That would be ideal. Why not? Why doesn't it have that?
Starting point is 00:57:28 And a lot of people will be like, well, I don't want it listening to me all the time. Well, your phone and your Mac and your PC's. All that has mic in it. Right. And is listening. And is listening all times. Yeah, and your TV probably does as well. It can mic in the thing.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Yep. So everyone, everyone is... I think the controller. That's probably near you. And everyone is saying, oh, we'll just use a headset for voice commands. It's like, if I have a headset on, and surely that's connected to a controller, which means I've got a damn controller in my hand.
Starting point is 00:57:52 Why would I use a voice command if I could just... Yeah. Also, you don't have to be wearing a headset all the time. Yeah, it's probably... It's a worse part. It's not easy to be like. The modern gaming is the headset. The walk in general, I always embarrassed when we were in headsets and somebody would say, that's a fucking d is the headset. Walking through, we're always embarrassed when, like we'd be wearing headsets and somebody would say, that's a fucking dorky headset. I still don't wear headsets.
Starting point is 00:58:07 It's awful. I don't. But it's nice to just walk through the, oh, Meg left the TV on Xbox, you know, turn off whatever without having to find a control, turn it on, and then use it. What's faster doing that or saying him make Trump a TV?
Starting point is 00:58:20 Which is not in the room typically. You're just associations. It's just annoying. So now, uh, way I plugged with that crap in, I'm pissed off. I'd love to hear how I talk to I'm gonna I'm gonna pretend like I'm gonna say having a conversation with my device, but to be nice to people who have one in their homes, I'm gonna say crab box. So when I talk to my devices, I'm always like, I'd love to hear recordings of myself talking to my devices because it's like talking to a kid.
Starting point is 00:58:50 It's like, you're not listening to me. I say, you take a very like a Thorateve tone. It's like, crab box turn off. Crab box turn off. I just get immediately like, it's all like, staccato, just like, authoritarian thing. I think you're just enunciating that. You know what I'm doing?
Starting point is 00:59:06 But it makes it sound like it's a lunatic. And sometimes it still doesn't work. So then what I revert to is I talk in robot voice. Like that's my fault. Like after I get angry, if it still doesn't work, then I talk in robot voice and then it always works. That works for Siri. That's why it's, because we talk about Apple products a lot,
Starting point is 00:59:21 and everyone knows I use Apple, I use my phone and stuff. And you know, you get shit on for using Apple. But it's like, sometimes I appreciate Apple because Apple never would have made that abomination to connect the connect to their product. They never would have had a device that had two boxes and three plugs and one power outlet. Also, they wouldn't have renamed Siri halfway through the iPhone's life cycle. Just because. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:44 Whatever. Yeah. You know what's weird is that probably the size difference between the Xbox One and the they wouldn't have renamed Siri halfway through the iPhone's life cycle just because, whatever. Yeah. You know what's weird is that probably the size difference between the Xbox One and the Xbox One S is all the junk they pulled out for the connect. Clearly, all that stuff they pulled out is like, I'll almost bring you back up to the form factor of the Xbox One.
Starting point is 00:59:59 It's so ridiculous. When the box arrived, I was blown away. I was like, why is it in a box that's literally this big for an adapt? That's terrible. Do you use the British Siri or the normal American Siri? British. British Siri. I use the British one too. Do you really? Yeah, it sounds fancier. Does it listen in British?
Starting point is 01:00:15 No, she hears me just fine. She just speaks back in British. She asks if you're up the dog. With a British accent, I'm sorry. Since your... My car has a different voice in it, female voice, and actually cause a Gigi. So we have Siri and we have Gigi. Oh, even though the one doesn't have a, I don't like that.
Starting point is 01:00:31 She name it Gigi. She's named it Gigi. I don't like Gigi. Gigi. Since you're so upset about the connect, I want to show you a video to make you happy. What is this? Oh, this is a ran?
Starting point is 01:00:42 This is a sheep dancing competition in Wales that I found it. What? I don't want this just in the bottom face in the wrong way. You just edit out the sheep. This guy is so entertaining. Look at this one fucking sheep is his channel. He was blocking the sheep. Yeah, what the fuck dude? How is it competition? You can't even see one. It's such a fucking bizarre video. He's's gotta be the only contestant.
Starting point is 01:01:05 No, these up there like, look at these balls. Look at one of the horns. This is Dougal's time to shine. The Dougal's fucking dead. Yeah, Dougal's clearly starting to show. It's killing it. No, he doesn't. Look at Dougal, Dan.
Starting point is 01:01:15 If you're doing this, you can't get your head too close to the air. It's because I imagine it's turn and fucking coax you. I love that the Scottish black face sheep is literally the only one that doesn't have a black face. It's literally the only goat only one that doesn't have a black face It's literally the only goat up there that doesn't have black on a space Do you think it's like a secretly really cruel and that's still on a hot plate or something? Like when you find out Mr. Ed was being shocked is that true? No, they did it. I said and then they would have like little electrodes to give him a little shock
Starting point is 01:01:40 Or they'd put peanut butter on the roof is I heard that was all a lot of ballaks and it was just a well-trained horse Mr. I tried to give him a little shock or they'd put peanut butter on the roof. I heard that was all I had a ball. And it was just a well trained horse. Mr. Head was last time you thought about Mr. It was recently because I played Wilbur just died. Oh, did he really like month ago, right? I got a good long life. Yeah. Oh, he missed your head.
Starting point is 01:01:57 But the control room's asking me for a link to that cheap video. I just closed it. I'll see if I can find it again. How much would you pay for a pot of glue made from this ad? Ed ran eight years a show Dude I'm talking horse it has a 7.1 out of 10 out of on IMDB Unbelievable, I don't know why that video reminded me. I just sent you a link to another video No, I'm gonna play this. I don't know why this reminded me of this video But I saw this recently I think on reddit and it made me laugh hard. I think it's because your air is out that you look young
Starting point is 01:02:31 Well, there you go. So this is what my best barber just sent me what is that? Oh, I don't Don't cut away from this. I want to see which one wins. Well that purple one is Stalker I got what money Aqua is looking pretty good I don't know It went so fast the camera couldn't keep it. I thought was laggo whether the the The other just had a burst I'm suspecting something the thing is is do you want the fastest one or the slow? See this is where if Tesla was still alive He would have designed he would have designed a dildo with the ultimate
Starting point is 01:03:06 Resonance that would definitely win the race We lost track of the fucking aqua I think that one won though. Yeah, I'm just kind of sad It's not your own dildo because they were all remarkably similar models. I don't know. I was kind of sad There's no dude at the end been over I'm supposed to see the one that goes down like this Like the rabbit. I read that one like the one that goes down like this. Like the rabbit one. The rotate, I rabbit one like rotating as it goes down. So if I'm more info, there's no more info on this. I have a problem on what?
Starting point is 01:03:32 Too bad. The dillaries. Oh, so you're looking at this too. What's your problem? I got another flat tire. How many have you gotten? I think I have more flat tires. Well you did drive to a quarry once.
Starting point is 01:03:46 And that was the last flat tire it got. So that was when we filmed in the quarry, I got a flat tire then, and I got a flat tire again today. Different tire. Different quarry? Nope. Didn't go any more quarries, although I did drive over to the armory.
Starting point is 01:03:59 Next, so we have the weirdest names for stuff here. That's when I get them, too. When you go to the armory. Yeah, I'm done driving over there. That's probably because of all the stuff I've blown up over there. Yeah, every time I take my car to the armory, I'll get a flat tire.
Starting point is 01:04:11 Yeah, it just sucks, dude. I mean, we have a really cool facility here, but it's just like, I feel like when people are done making a set for production, not our people, but just anybody who's using this area for production, they just basically take a handful of screws and just scatter them across the parking lot. I've gotten more flat tires since we've been
Starting point is 01:04:29 in this facility than I have probably in the rest of my life combined. We've only been here like two or three years, at this point. So it's very frustrating to me. So it's been two years. Yeah, it was two years ago in May. We were a little bit over two years,
Starting point is 01:04:42 because we moved in May. But there's another reason why hate flat tires now is because, and this is really embarrassing to admit, the Tesla does not have a spare tire in the car because you're not allowed to jack up the car. You have to jack it up in a very precise way. You're not allowed because it'll break the car. First of all, the car's heavy as shit.
Starting point is 01:05:01 So you need a bigger jack. Which they could supply in the car. On a regular car, you're supposed to jack it up only in certain places anyway too. That is true. The difference being, and it seems like it's pretty easy. It's a spot, and you just have to hit right on it, and then jack it up from there. If you miss it, there's the risk you could punch through, puncture, elitium battery, and then your day is a lot worse, really, really quick.
Starting point is 01:05:21 Because your car just calmed fire. Yeah, because your car will just explode and catch on fire. And, uh, so... Damn, Teslas are fucking heavy. Yeah. How heavy are they? lot worse really really quick because your car just call them fire yeah because your car will just explode and catch on fire and So damn Teslas are fucking heavy. Yeah, how heavy are there? Depending on between 4,500 and 5,000 pounds. Yeah, it's heavy. It's everything I pick up set and tons What's a normal car? It's over two tons two and a half tons a normal car I would estimate we're probably about 251 to 3,000 pounds So you that's 2,000 pounds to a ton. Yeah, that's it. That's what is the US. Yeah, why why not what why not just a thousand?
Starting point is 01:05:46 Oh, I know 2000 did you see twitch is putting out this thing where they have you buy bits? Yeah, and then you give people bits when they're streaming Yeah, a hundred bits for a backwards? No, it's the best. It's smart. It's like Microsoft points. It is. It's so smart. They detach the value of real currency from their currency.
Starting point is 01:06:12 So when you're spending it, you really aren't connecting it. It's not like, oh I'm spending five bucks. It's like, oh I'm spending 70, you lose it. But what's the thing, the first thing you do when you have to spend 70, you lose it. So you figure out how much money it is. Yeah, but if it's inconvenient amount, like 1.4 cents or something, then it's like, oh, then you're rounding, like it's not at all the same.
Starting point is 01:06:28 Are they as dumb? It's not all the same. You don't, I feel like I think it's really smart. Also they do, it's really beneficial for another reason. Every other platform has moved away from that system. The other reason it's beneficial for them is that they are the payment processor directly. Yes.
Starting point is 01:06:44 And Twitch has a big problem where sometimes people will give a big donation to a streamer, then initiate a charge back on their card saying it wasn't legitimate. Patreon too. This is separate because then the transaction has happened previously. You've already made your transaction for the bits and then you're just giving bits to someone else. Don't you con charge back to bits. We talked about the podcast.
Starting point is 01:07:00 There was a case of a guy who did that like to like 20 or 30 people and then refuted all the charges or like did a charge back on them all and they honored all of them and charged the kids like an outrageous amount of the kids from Australia, I believe. And I think he had given like a $10,000 donation and tried to charge that back. And he would record the streamers reactions and then post those as his videos. So hot. Yeah. Terrible.
Starting point is 01:07:24 It's messing with emotions, brother. Yeah, but he ended up having to pay everything that he committed to. They made him pay all of it. Wow. Good. I mean, they really just make an example of that one person, but it works.
Starting point is 01:07:35 I bet less people will do that now. Yeah, well, you see someone you're like, oh shit, yeah, if you're really on the hook for it. Yeah, that's bad. There was a... But I mean, really, every platform, Gus has moved away from that. Microsoft, you just buy things directly. The worst honestly, I think, is like, if you don't have to do it, but like, things that
Starting point is 01:07:52 make you have like a wallet, like a steam wallet or whatever, the Microsoft points I thought were really egregious because basically... What's good to global, I guess. Why would it be better for global, though? Because then you don't have to say this game is $17 and here it's 12 pounds you just say this game is 2,000 Microsoft points and that's like you're just a value It's one image that's one post. But then you have you still I guess then you'll have to do the calculation once for selling the points Everyone does their own calculations. They don't have to make multiple posts About announcement. Yes
Starting point is 01:08:22 That doesn't make sense. Yeah, I wonder though About announcement. Yes, that doesn't make sense. I wonder though when you were in the Xbox 360 and the point system existed How much were arcade games when you downloaded them? Was it 400 points? No, I think they were 816 hundred or they I believe you are correct. I believe what was 400? I think some shitty games were like 400 like like the games you liked defender Miles 1200 games were like 400 like like the games you liked defender stuff like 1200 That's how much the discount so the rate of the
Starting point is 01:08:53 Goes down as you buy more Further off-uscating the actual value of the bit. I know I just don't like it. Why don't I don't find it honest I designed it doesn't change the amount of money that I'm just honest by design. What is the point of the bits though for? I think it's dishonest. It's good to tip someone. Yeah, so you give it, you get, so I get, hey, Barbie, do great.
Starting point is 01:09:11 Here's a cheer. It's called a cheer, right? Or cheer? Why don't you just give a donation or subscribe? Because apparently they wanted to move to this bit system. Also, when you do it, it has like a little animated graphic. Yeah. You can animate a graphic for the donations too.
Starting point is 01:09:26 But it helps draw attention to it as well. Also, why not just make it a dollar amount, man? I just like, I don't get it. The reason why they do it, here's why they do it. So you go out barber and you go, oh, I love all these streamers and everything, it's great. I'm going to buy $100 worth of bits. So you spend $100 bucks.
Starting point is 01:09:39 We can multiply it by that by like four million users. Yeah. Then four million people have given Twitch a hundred bucks each. And Twitch is just holding all those funds at that point in time. Just to use for whatever stream. Yeah, they made all the money day one, you know, and they said to wait to pay it out. I mean, it's smart on their part for sure.
Starting point is 01:09:56 And like, you might spend those, all those bits over the course of three or four months or six months. And it's typical thing, like for one of these platforms, is the aggregation of all of that at once is a very powerful thing. I mean, Twitch might be sitting on tens of millions of dollars at a time.
Starting point is 01:10:13 Additionally, they use Amazon payments as their processor for all of these payments. So they get, since they're the processor, they get charged even less for the card transactions. It's because, I assume they're making no money on a PayPal donation. But now they can actually make a lot of money. Right, they lose a're making no money on a PayPal donation, but now they can actually make a lot of money on that.
Starting point is 01:10:26 Right, they lose a percentage of the money on that. Now it's like it's all in house for a card because they're owned by it most of them. And where do you see those little animations? In the chat. In the chat. Yeah, on the screen too. I don't really like when people do
Starting point is 01:10:36 like those animations on the screen or things like that, because it's just like I'm trying to watch this person's stream or do this thing. And it's like I'm constantly seeing like those person donated $5. Well that's the culture of that whole audience though. Is that a thing. It's like, I'm constantly seeing, does person donated $5? Well that's the culture of that whole audience though. Yeah, I just like it. I dislike it.
Starting point is 01:10:49 It makes it hard to watch Twitch streamers when it's like that for me. I just want to see them play the game. Yeah, I just honestly, I feel like Twitch isn't the place to do that now. If you just want to see someone play the game seriously. Okay, this is from Vice. The name of the guy who tried to do it was Inexus underscore ninja.
Starting point is 01:11:08 Was that his, on his birth certificate? Yeah, yeah, sure was. Inexus ninja, as it turns out, is an 18 year old kid from Australia, way to go, named Anthony Archer, a now deleted tweet discovered by Reddit users months ago, reportedly suggested he uses parents credit card to pay for the shenanigans, where he would make large donations and then do a charge back. And the card apparently carried that kind of load just fine. And then PayPal said they're not gonna refund them.
Starting point is 01:11:31 That's it, he's gotta pay it. If I recall properly going through this first and Twitter timeline, I saw pictures that led me to believe that he will not miss the money very much. Yeah. Really? Yeah. What was the picture you saw. Just like some nice cars
Starting point is 01:11:47 and lots of traveling. Ah, still women. No, he's still a younger dude. Was he 18? Did you say that? Yeah, I think I'd younger dude. Man, that's like that's that's one of those like karma things that people loved to hear about. Mm-hmm. Got something else I want to read here. No, you don't.

Starting point is 01:12:50 I started really late. You used to late. I think because it was shotgun for a while. Yeah, it was shotgun. It was probably. I tried to tell. It was after I got married. My wife was concerned about long term planning.
Starting point is 01:13:00 I've heard the betterment don't accept that as one of your answers. No, you cannot say shotgun. I was like, what plan don't accept that. I was so confused for a second. You want to know. No, you can't. You cannot say shot. I was like, what plan is shotgun? And then I realized, yeah, I was probably I think it's a shotgun on yourself. 30, 31 maybe. I tried to fight these guys like hell all the time.
Starting point is 01:13:16 I'm stuff like that. Maybe get life insurance. You know, things like that. Would you guys get married? Some of us had kids. Oh, yeah, I do have life insurance. I should take care of myself. Does that your wife?
Starting point is 01:13:28 How much? So, like five bucks. Here's something to consider. Is that there's this thing called the Rule of 72, which is it's how you determine how long it'll take for any invested amount of money to double based on the interest that you're getting. Basically, I call the Rule of 72
Starting point is 01:13:41 because you take your interest rate, expect an interest rate, and you divide it by that number. The interest rate number. So let's say you get some good investments, you can make 10% a year on your investment, 10%. Then in seven years, your money will double, 7.2 years. So you divide 72 by the percentage? By the actual integer of your percentage. And so if your money doubles every seven years, Barbara, how old are you if I may ask? I just turned 27. And how old do you think you might live to?
Starting point is 01:14:13 Just guess. I'm hoping at least. Let's say 90. 95. Let's say you're not do you know, and you're how old? 27. 27. Okay.
Starting point is 01:14:22 I think, wait, let's do this real quick. So you go 34. Yes. Then you go 41. Then you go 48, then you go 55, then you go 62, then you have 69, then you have 76, then you have 83, and if you make it 90, you have 90. That's nine periods that your money will double. So let's say you put away right now, you put away $10,000. So I'm gonna only have nine more sets of seven years. Yeah, pretty scary when you look at like that. But look at this. If you put away, let's say $10,000.
Starting point is 01:14:51 Let's say we have a scrape together of $10,000 and you put that away. It doubles nine times. So you get 20,000, then you have 40,000, 80,000, you have 160,000, you have 320,000, you have 640,000, you have 1.2 million, 2. have six hundred and forty thousand. You have one point two million Two point four million and four point eight million dollars. You know, what am I gonna do with four point eight million dollars when I'm nine? But it's only because you put away it only because you put away ten thousand dollars when you were twenty seven
Starting point is 01:15:14 Is that the still the case? Well, as you get a ten percent return that's a pretty aggressive return But it's illustrating the point. I mean if you let's say you get six percent then it's a whole thing I've like you get what you start with a penny but it doubles the illustrative point. I mean, if you, let's say you get 6%, then it's, it's not the whole thing of like you get what, you start with a penny, but it doubles every day for a month, and you end up with a crap load of money. Yeah, but that's a meetup hypothetical scenario.
Starting point is 01:15:33 This is like real. This is like real, yeah. Yeah, but stuff doubling, stuff doubling is mental. I've had money put away since I was 12. Have you really? Was it like, special money? It was from my butt, Mitzvah. Did you, so you did you butt, Mitzvah? So what's done It was from my butt, Mitzvah. Did you?
Starting point is 01:15:45 So you did you butt, Mitzvah? What's done with that? My butt, Mitzvah. Bar Mitzvah is for men. I thought it was B-A-H-T. I thought it was B-A-H-T. Right? Is it B-A-T or B-A-H-T?
Starting point is 01:15:53 B-A-T. B-A-T. It sounds different. It's butt. The way she says it's more like butt. It's a Hebrew word. It's a Hebrew word. It's not bat, Mitzvah.
Starting point is 01:16:02 Bat, Mitzvah. Bat, Mitzvah. Bat, Mitzvah. But, uh. So what do you do with that? Bat mitts the. I'm a bat mitts fat. Bat mitts fat. But uh, so what do you do with that? Like you just invest it in stuff? Uh, I mean, my parents did it for me. Do you check out on a regular basis? See how it's doing?
Starting point is 01:16:15 Really? I don't want it. I don't want to. Just take a look and be amazed. Like 401k, fighting Gus, you 401k forever. And then you look back and it's like, oh, because the company will put more, put money into a 401k for anyway, go to betterment.com and follow out of that.
Starting point is 01:16:28 But it has tons of retirement stuff like that. This is where you start the better. That's where you start the more on the store. Starting your buy, Mesa. Money doubling, having money, like we put away a little bit of money and then it just grows. Anybody like in their 60s to 70s, they'll all say the same thing, put away some money. You know, one problem is though, don't have a a wedding have take the money. They call it 401k
Starting point is 01:16:48 So think of anything more boring sounding 401k They want to sound it what you wanted to sound like have retirement money plan fun I mean what the fuck that's a stupid thing to say. It's a stupid name. Yeah, it's a stupid name Everything's a stupid like a 1040 for him is for your taxes. I mean, it's just a number of a fall. What was 401 H? 401 K is the law. Right? What are the other ones around it? 401 401 J 401 L? Yeah, right? What are those? Who knows? It's called 401 K because for $101,000 is the ideal amount of money. How that doubles? Every seven is.
Starting point is 01:17:26 That's exactly right. There's also the crazy decisions too. I'm running this younger, I had to decide between a traditional IRA for retirement stuff or a Roth IRA before any company I worked for had for one K stuff. This is a weird thing. So what do you think you'd want to do? So Essentially that if you get a traditional IRA you put the money in and you get a tax benefit Because you could so you can put one money and say I get a hundred dollars I can put all hundred dollars in and I don't have to pay taxes on the hundred because I put it into an IRA So it's like an isa down the road when I pull it out I have to pay taxes on the money as I pull it out or I think the hundred dollars. It's not like a nice put it in a out I'd pay taxes on the money as I pull it out. Or I think the $100.
Starting point is 01:18:06 It's not like a lot. Put it in a Roth IRA, pay the taxes on it, I pay 33, well, assuming. Whatever. Yeah. Say pay $33 of it on taxes. I got about 67 bucks left. I put that in the Roth IRA. Whatever that turns into, I can pull out tax free.
Starting point is 01:18:19 I don't get taxed on the thing. So you, so it's just. You just talking about this and Gavin talking about the school system in the UK is pretty much on par right now. Yeah, but you don't need to know, but you need to know about what I'm talking about tax on the way in. You think you think you think take the tax on the way to pay on your age, I think right. Like you take you take your way in. If you grows enough, then you make money by not having to tax on the way out. Yes. I mean, you're starting with a lower principle, right theoretically. Well, tax that source is always nice.
Starting point is 01:18:41 principal, theoretically. The tax that source is always nice, layer. Unless it's not too much later. And you never know if the tax loss change in the over the length of time. Also, we prepare for any time you invest money, it will immediately go down. Immediately.
Starting point is 01:18:58 In the short term, immediately go down. That's always awful. Why does that always have to take a long view on that stuff? Like especially if you're planning for retirement. The resets, and there's been two in my life so far, the resets on financial stuff, they're pretty fucking serious when they happen. Like the dot com crash was pretty fucking serious. And then 2008, the housing crash, very fucking serious.
Starting point is 01:19:19 But you always have, you always have to have faith that things will recruit you. The opposite of Joel Heyman, the economy will eventually recover and continue to grow. Here's the way that I look at it. Sorry, Barbara. I mean, I look at it to your point, Gus. The way I look at it is that there's enough people involved with the system that they're invested to make sure that it works. Yes, that that's the that's more so in the faith that I have that all this stuff
Starting point is 01:19:43 actually does make sense as opposed to like, oh, you know, I what happened 2008 it went all fell apart. Everyone's like no, it didn't here's your money You're okay. You're fine. You're fine. You know the bank's gonna go jump to further trains there. Yeah, I would never I never I can go back and work at waitress, you know Yeah, I mean Joel's always Joel's always obsessed that the system doesn't work. That's all gonna fall apart the numbers don't add up But like what you say there are people there who are invested to make the system work. Right. And it has, you know, continues to grow. I just, you know, it's the idea that, like, the economy will collapse to the point where paper currency will mean nothing and people want gold.
Starting point is 01:20:17 It's like, people are going to want food. Right. You know, they're going to want fresh water. Yeah, get by a fucking farm and learn how to grow corn. Yeah. You do way better with that. Start storing gasoline in barrels. You know, I actually thought about that like remember we talked about buying a barrel of gas when it got down to like We got our oil right over there when it was down to like a dollar 33 a gallon at the pump. Yeah, it's like holy cow for gasoline Not for oil, but
Starting point is 01:20:37 But it would be cool to do that and see but it would be so much work to store all the fucking oil Did I ever tell you what Joel said to me one time, which made me know he was crazy? I mean, amongst a few. Anything? Was he sitting next to you on a plane? Say hi, Barbara, my name is Joel Heyman. You guys fucking nuts. This was like, I think right before I started working at Ruchuteeth, I was talking to Joel
Starting point is 01:20:56 about something. And he said he was looking into buying a Hummer. And I was like, oh, like, that's cool. Why do you- It's a very non-Joleco. Yeah. That's a very non-Joleco. And I said, why do you like, that's cool. Why is it a very non-Joseph Cargai? Yeah, that's a very non-Jole call. And I said, why do you want to get a Hummer? And he said, well, inevitably when the economy goes to shit, everyone goes crazy, I want to be able to drive through
Starting point is 01:21:17 the crowds of people losing their minds. And I was like, ha, ha, ha, he goes, no, I'm serious. I'll be able to drive through everybody and nobody will touch me. Economics is such a, like, just fabricated science. It's way more philosophy than science that if you go deep into enough, you get to, like, sci-fi stuff.
Starting point is 01:21:38 You really do. You get to, like, you get stuff like Bitcoin, which is just, it's crazy. And Twitch Bits. And Twitch Bits. Where's your cheers or whatever. Twitch Bits, you like Bitcoin? You like Twitch Bits, do you like Bitcoin? I like the idea. coin which is just crazy and twitch bits and tears tears or whatever like what do you like twitch bits do you like
Starting point is 01:21:46 bitcoin uh... i like the idea i don't like bitcoins specifically by like the idea of a jichle i don't know people who think a paper currencies garbage and they they they're think bitcoin is better no it's like i mean basically anything to be money if people decide it's value right right and i like that governments believe in paper money
Starting point is 01:22:03 yeah governments probably are going to see I'm so in the mindset of Yeah, I guess if everything goes to crap It's nice if you have a bunker ready full of food and you're well prepared But I would much rather be someone who enjoyed life the entire way and then was screwed for a little bit at the end as opposed to Completely adjusting my life and preparing my entire life for something that may or may not happen and maybe not living my life to the full. Oh, there was a really cool thing that was on Reddit earlier this week.
Starting point is 01:22:30 Did you see it? It was a 50s era bomb shelter underneath a Nevada house. I did not see that. And it had like a fake. That's still fully found out. It looks like Barbara looks like it's a set of a fallout movie. It's like, it should have filmed our emotion. I don't mean like a vault.
Starting point is 01:22:43 It looks like, I'll get some pictures of it. I'll show you guys. I Just watched for the first time 10 Cloverfield Lane. Oh I actually like I when I saw it on iTunes. I was like oh Gus was like raving about this movie when it was out So I'm gonna check it out. It was not what I expected at all. I know that's the best part Yeah, and I never actually saw Cloverfield Whenever John Goodman was on the screen I was just so excited every time he came back. I was like You saw the movie.

I'm I think they did you don't have to have seen Cloverfield I think they did a great job with the trailer I mean nothing to do and then yeah, you put it you put it together. It's like so good so good So good. I feel like there's a few movies. I've seen Hey, it's me this year that have been really good Look there. It's also an ad for the Is it on screen right now? No, that's on screen. Okay, so they're trying to get it sliced.
Starting point is 01:23:45 They're getting it there. The 10th core filling was one of those movies that I really, really enjoyed this year. Yeah, and that reminded me of the whole like, having a bomb shelter and stuff that's fully prepared. Yeah, being ready for. Super-paradigmaticial disaster, yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:57 Yeah. I'm so ready to move it. I'm so ready to move it. I'm digital and physical discs now. Got it. Yeah, you should have it. It's on like the eye movies or whatever. If you're on you have Apple TV.
Starting point is 01:24:06 Some planes too. You're about to take a flight. Absolutely watch it. God's great. So great. All right, so we have this follow up, shall we? I think they're still getting it.
Starting point is 01:24:14 Oh, there we go. Oh, here it is. So this is. So this is? That's all underground? Yeah, it was underneath the house. I believe in Nevada. Was they like turfed it? Was that a stretch out?
Starting point is 01:24:22 This looks like that movie with, um, go ahead and go through them, guys. I think there you go. There you go. We can like turfed it? Was that a stretcher? This looks like that movie with... Go ahead and go through them guys. There you go. There you go. We've got like fake trees. This is underground. It's like Newtown.
Starting point is 01:24:30 Yeah. Have you ever seen... It's got like painted walls. Blast from the past, that movie? I think somebody mentioned that in the comics. Is it Brendan Frazier in there? Yeah, this looks exactly like Blast from the past. Oh, you kid it.
Starting point is 01:24:40 Is that like a fun project or were they actually hoping to use this? Yeah, look at that kitchen dude. They should've brought this out. They should've brought this out. We're really great when we're trapped in a ground for three decades. I mean that would be lush for the end of the world But yeah, wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait go back. Okay. I thought that was a kitchen first I thought there was a kitchen counter with a toilet No, let me take a carpet and bathroom. We went through a weird period where people would put wall-to-wall Carpening in their bathrooms Fucking lunacy disgusting absolute lunacy a weird period where people would put wall to wall carpeting in their bathrooms. That's so fucking loonies-y.
Starting point is 01:25:06 Disgusting. Absolutely loonies-y. And if you're gonna do that, you'll at least have a fuzzy toilet. Gross. Dude, I had to copy it in my bathroom. I would be full of piss. You know what, I was looking for a house one time. You put those copet things around the toilet.
Starting point is 01:25:18 Well, for the audio listeners, we will put a link to this in the link dumps so that you can see it as well. But it's basically like, it's an underground complex. It's a pool in there too. This image to me is painting stuff on the walls We're like you have a ceiling outside and it's like all this artificial light That's a nice bar because you're out of the Flintstones right there. It's pretty nuts, dude Yeah, but how much must that have cost? I don't know, but somebody was convinced a world was gonna end and A guy to do a mural down there
Starting point is 01:25:41 I was convinced the world was gonna end. And I was like, it's just a fight of a guy to do a mural down there. I think Joel, I don't think Joel is like a pessimist and he wants the world to end. I just think he wants to have the scenario where the most amount of people are wrong and he's right. That's what I think he's trying to set up.
Starting point is 01:25:58 It's a very long play. But it just seems so easy, so much easier, just to not worry about it. That's your ever. That's your ever. Just don't even worry about it. Don't even sweat the world of course Well, then with it right in link did a whole episode on this thing for good mythical morning the bunker. Mm-hmm. That's a good show It's a great job. I like those guys those guys are talented guys
Starting point is 01:26:17 Did you see that um that Yelp review of a laser tag place on reddit last week? Yeah, I did Now these are the guys it's like three guys, who are friends, look like they're in the early 20s. Aside, they want to go play a laser tag. They show up at the laser tag place, and they said there's like 15 little kids there, and they're like talking to the kids,
Starting point is 01:26:36 like you want us to split up, like we split into teams, and the grownups on both of the teams, and the little kids start chanting, grownups versus kids, grownups versus kids. So it's like the three of them against 15 little kids. And the Yelp Review goes on to post pictures
Starting point is 01:26:49 of the final score, which was 73,700 to negative 1100. How did that happen? They just proceeded to wipe the floor and destroy these 15 kids. I think you did a negative half of each other. Yeah, that's amazing. You're very happy about that. That's amazing. This fucking destroyed them. And then you get a negative vibe in that picture? Yeah, that's amazing. You're very happy about that.
Starting point is 01:27:05 That's amazing. This fucking destroyed them. And then like the Yelp review has a picture of them, the three guys, and then also like the school of all the way. Oh man, I wish I had a picture of the kids too. I just imagine like little kids crying. Yeah. Oh, there it is.
Starting point is 01:27:20 They found that really fast. So great. So great. I also love that the Yelp are really four stars. I thought that was going to go the complete opposite direction, because usually kids are really good at laser tag. They're just sneaky and fast. Yeah, but then I'm old as my bones creak.
Starting point is 01:27:34 No coordination. The the broma makes your bones squeak. Squeak, squeak. So, um, maybe a slightly controversial topic, but I'm curious. Why? I'm curious to know your opinion on this. This has been a serious podcast. Is it? It's about interest rates.
Starting point is 01:27:50 So, it was... Gawker shut down. Oh, fuck Gawker. Oh, it's awesome. What's controversial about that? So, I think the way that they handle... How come it's getting money? They have handled all of this announcement
Starting point is 01:28:03 and the way that they've portrayed themselves throughout this entire ordeal. And all of their sister sites or all of their children sites whenever they report on it is like our parent company, Gaucker, shutting down, after it was revealed that there was a clandestine legal attack by billionaire Peter Teal. It's like, really?
Starting point is 01:28:22 Come on, that's really how you're going to frame the news. Also, why would they want to give the guy that much credit? If he really, like, submarine their business, like he put them out of fucking business. How? He basically just funded the Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against him. Which, by the way, they were wrong. They did something that's not possible.
Starting point is 01:28:39 It's illegal. It's illegal. It's like this billionaire gave him Hulk Hogan's sex tape where he's banging his friend's wife, you know, which by the way Hulk Hogan did the hell of a misdirect on that. That was a hell of a PR campaign where he put a company out of fucking business and Came out everybody's everybody's on Hulk Hogan's side from this whole thing. They also did a terrible thing where they Posted a video of a girl having sex she was drunk and having sex in the floor in a bathroom. I just read the story I'd never heard it before and
Starting point is 01:29:04 like the girl called and said you just please take down that video, like somebody else recorded it. And it was in public so they said that they could post it. And then the dad called and said like, like people at work are like posting screenshots or like, you know, you say, I'm having to see this for the last few days. And I got to get over it. And it's just like, you sound like the worst people on the fucking planet. I think what he said was, I'm having to watch my daughter get sexually assaulted
Starting point is 01:29:25 on a floor filled with piss. On a pile of piss, I think isn't it? Oh, yeah. And I think you're right. The response was essentially to the effect of deal with it. Or he said, he said, they said, don't make a big deal about this. Not that, he's Christ.
Starting point is 01:29:36 Because that'll just reveal to people who you are. So just like, kind of like, just go with it. It'll blow over, you know. So I've been very surprised by their almost like flippant attitude about the loss and the shutdown. I'm ridden. Glaming on this clandestine legal assault by Peter Teal, with another person that they fucking wronged in the past.
Starting point is 01:29:56 Didn't they post the video, someone, some like stalker took a video of Aaron Andrews? Oh, did they post that video? I don't know if Gawker posted that. I don't know if they did. Okay, Ier posted that. I don't know if they did. I don't know if they did. I don't know if they did. Anyone who would, that's just like,
Starting point is 01:30:09 so I guess. So, do you make a little money? It's still in the appeals process. Okay, which is why I think they never apologize for it and maybe why they frame it this way so they don't have any admission of wrongdoing until the appeals process is exhausted. I don't know
Starting point is 01:30:28 But it's just weird to me to see them always talk to and it's not only them like I said It's there there are other sites like Kotaku anytime they talk about Gakushedding down has like the same little boilerplate about this clandestine legal Assault So it's just weird. It's the company that bought the stolen iPhone at one time Gizmodo Gebb, well, they use Gizmodo, yeah. That's a different company. Who owns who?
Starting point is 01:30:49 I think they're a lot better. I always bring Justin, you can say it out loud. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, it's Gizmodo, who's their parent company? I think it's Gokker. I think it's Gokker. Yeah, I just always like pile them into the same level. Gizmodo drove me fucking crazy.
Starting point is 01:31:01 They would always do things. They were just the unboxing. Like the unboxing, yeah, like the unboxing with the hey, the whole thing. The whole thing, the three out of the window. They threw it all out the window after they would always do things. They were just the unboxing. Like the unboxing? Yeah, like the unboxing with the high stuff. They threw it out the window. They threw it all out the window after they were done with it. And it's just disrespectful. And the worst thing to me, which really infuriated me, was the time that they went to a trade show with one of those remotes that you can push the button and it runs through all the
Starting point is 01:31:21 turnoff. It was CES. CES. Huge convention here in the US. And it was, it was basically it's a button. People use them in bars. You pointed at the TV, you push the button, it finds the remote code to turn off.
Starting point is 01:31:31 It goes through every, that TV, really fast. It runs through every remote code for off. And so, people being the middle of presentation, they kept just shutting their stuff off. Typically, they're showing off that product to a group of people. And probably didn't think to tape over the IR sensor on it.
Starting point is 01:31:45 No, and they kept shutting it off. And then they published this. I mean, it's a tech blog and they did this. And then their response when people got upset with them for ruining people's jobs, their response was, ah, you'll get over it. These work, don't be so uptight. Presentations with brand new televisions
Starting point is 01:32:01 being unveiled and demoed for the, you know. A tech website that's ruining the future of tech. And it's like, oh yeah, cool. Now this television company, I'll get over it. Because it, it's so, I'll give you. For years after that video came out,
Starting point is 01:32:12 I would have to tape over our sensors when we had displays in our booth because then it was like great. Now everybody's got the idea. They're all gonna fucking do this at every event. Yep. So great. So thank you for giving me all that extra work too.
Starting point is 01:32:24 Then there was another, well, I know we're really at time here, but there's one more thing I wanted to bring up that I saw late last week, I don't know if any of you guys saw this. Do you see that YouTuber who went to North Korea and made a music video? No. I forget the guy's name, we'll have to look it up. He's, I believe, the British YouTuber who,
Starting point is 01:32:44 he has like a travel adventure vlog and he went to North Korea for seven days, Lewis Cole. And he did travel vlogs for seven days in North Korea and then kept, maybe. Is it L.O.U. I. Yes, yeah. Okay. I didn't know he went.
Starting point is 01:33:03 I know that guy. Then he kept it off with a music video. I think it was called. Yeah surfing in the DPRK That's it and it's it's really bizarre He says that of course that it wasn't sponsored by the North Korean government But it's a really weird thing to do with one of the most oppressive governments in the world to go and he said that You know, he and I watched videos. He's talking to people there, you know, showing what he's being, what he's being shown, but it's like you have a very limited scope on what you can see.
Starting point is 01:33:31 It's like you aren't talking to everyday people, you're talking to like essentially actors who are being paid to say certain things and act a certain way in front of you, and it was just really, really bizarre to me to go and make those videos and then publish them. And of course, they're all really popular. I mean, they've been tons of views because people are talking about it's controversial now. Yeah, he's huge.
Starting point is 01:33:50 But people don't remember how he started. He's basically using his second channel now as his main channel. And he's called Fun Faluie. Yeah. His original channel. His original channel is called Food Faluie. Well, he just ate gross stuff. That's fun.
Starting point is 01:34:04 You eat road-kill and stuff. It was awesome. I remember that. The Simgo. Yeah, I think he just like, he pivoted. He was like, yeah, this is like, I can't, I can't market this anyway. I think he was working with Apple at 1.2. So Vanity Fair asked him in his representation
Starting point is 01:34:18 if he was being paid by North Korea for propaganda. And the response was, this trip to North Korea was inspired by a friend who has been on 17 trips to North Korea since 2007 Running humanitarian and relief work in communities which need it the purpose of the trip was to join a team of volunteers in teaching local tour guides and children How to surf and skateboard as part of an annual surf camp which first first launch in 2014? Is that America? Louis saw this as a unique opportunity to be immersed in the culture as It's the American guy who stole the post to still stuck there. What do you stole the post?
Starting point is 01:34:46 No, I think he's got booted from the country. I think he's got it back in the year. What's the scariest thing you've ever seen come out of North Korea? Out of any documentary secrets? There's a lot of interviews. And again, you don't know how much of this to believe, right? There's a lot of interviews with people who have supposedly escaped North Korea, who will draw images,
Starting point is 01:35:05 recreating what they experienced in prison camps in North Korea. Oh! And it's like images of dogs eating people, and like people just chained up. Dog. Nice. In rooms and being tortured by dogs, by guards. There's a lot of really, really bad stuff.
Starting point is 01:35:22 Well, yours is way worse than mine. I was going to talk about how creepy the fake grocery stores. Yeah, we're here. And you can't buy anything. There's no lot of really, really bad stuff. Well, yours is way worse than mine. I was going to talk about how creepy the fake grocery stores. Did you ever see that? And you can't buy anything. There's no cash registers. There's nothing in there. It's just fake grocery stores with a bunch of fake food in it. So it looks like everything's going great.
Starting point is 01:35:33 But it's like they're just fake grocery stores. And they're super well lit and everything. I think there's a fake house on a mountain somewhere that you can see from South Korea. So it makes it look like North Korea has a really nice thing. But it's like completely fake. There's a documentary coming out. I think it's, it might be out now. It might be a limited release really nice thing, but it's like completely fake. There's a documentary coming out. I think it's, it might be out now.
Starting point is 01:35:46 It might be a limited release. I don't think it's playing an awesome. I forget what it's called. I'll look it up and we'll put it in the linked up. But there's a documentary that a couple of got a couple of people made where they went to North Korea to film this documentary. But of course, the government goes through all your footage and delete stuff. They don't think it's appropriate.
Starting point is 01:36:01 But all the cameras they use had two flashcards. So they would hand over one and then keep the other one in the camera and secret. So they got a bunch of unapproved footage out of the country. And it's supposed to be really, really interesting. Enough people do this. Somebody's gonna get caught doing this
Starting point is 01:36:18 and we're never gonna hear from that person again. Yeah, you won't know when it happens. Yeah, I don't like, you know, it's one of those things. I know we got in the show, but the, is it the Cincinnati Zoo? Yeah. They just recently put out a statement saying, don't make any more jokes about her own bay. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:35 If they don't, they don't want any more memes, let it die, please, you know, the people that took care of this gorilla, love this gorilla, and they had to kill the gorilla. They had to put it down. And then there's a lot of people all over the world just kind of laughing about it, you know, and it's like, they're just... I don't even understand how the memes even started about it. Like it's such a tragic incident, and it's like, people just took off with it. You know, it's just one of the things where it's like a meme is essentially it's a joke
Starting point is 01:36:57 somebody makes, and if somebody else repeats it, then just basically becomes a meme, you know, that's it. Yeah. And then the repeating becomes its own thing. But something like this, where they make that statement, that just kind a meme, you know, that's it. And then the repeating becomes its own thing. But something like this, where they make that statement, that just kinda like, you know, it's gonna make it last probably another three months now that they asked people to stop doing it.
Starting point is 01:37:12 So I figured I was going with that. But anyway, I think it's interesting when people think they can like affect the way that people are gonna talk about something and just never works out. Right, no. Barbara, as a new American understands what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 01:37:23 I do. Free speech. Somewhat American. I can't a little green. You can't control the memes. That's what you said to me when you called me a slut today. You said free speech. Free speech bitch. Free speech bitch. Alright, well about time to wrap this up. The serious edition. Bring it on. Bring it on podcast. Do you have the number of that immigration line? Uh, no.
