Starting point is 00:00:29 If he can survive the drive, also starring Stephanie Beatriz, Samoa Joe, Nev Campbell, Will Arnett, and Thomas Hayden Church, twisted metal, streaming now, only on peacock Hello everyone welcome to this week's episode of the RESTEE Podcast recorded live at the Rattling. I want to thank all our sponsors for this week. We got Blue Apron, Me Undies, and Squarespace, and also a special thanks for Pizza Hut, who kindly supplied Pizza to everybody in the audience. Just me! Beautiful pizza there. I thought you were going to show off your underwear just now. It's me, Andy.
Starting point is 00:01:29 Is that was really excited, guys. Showing off some delicious food. You want some food, Bernie? You didn't see the pizza over there. I didn't see the pizza there. You can have that. That's not cool earlier. We just got our shooting dates for laser team 2.
Starting point is 00:01:39 I'll put it back here. Squeeze my ass into a spandex suit for 30 days straight. Better start slimming down. Have you been walking out? What's that? Have you been walking out? I have. I like those looking pretty buff.
Starting point is 00:01:53 There's a reason for that. And so we had to start them way early. Because you were so far ahead of him in terms of beefiness. That's exactly it. It was really sad for the first laser team. I'd been working out for like a year and a half, two years. ahead of him in terms of beefiness? That's exactly it. It was really sad for the first laser team. I'd been working out for like a year and a half, two years. And Michael came in to same trainer that I had.
Starting point is 00:02:12 And in, you know, he's 20, what, he's 12? I don't know how old he is. I think he's 20-12. He's 20-12. He's 12. He's Obama's last election year. That was just a date joke. That was the joke. It's okay. last election year. Uh, that was just a date joke. That was the joke.
Starting point is 00:02:26 It's okay. It's okay. But he came into the gym and he started working out. And I think in two weeks, just being in his mid-20s, he got as many gains as I had in like a year and a half. It comes such a bro lately, too. I was like, yeah, walk up, go to the gym, get ripped. I'm like, who are you?
Starting point is 00:02:43 Who's the most annoying like that right now in the office? Is it always blame? It's always blame. It's always blame. Yeah, but that blame's like a baseline. I mean, you can't even like, you can't even feel it anymore. But that baseline's really high. Like, if an actual douche bag said douche things,
Starting point is 00:02:58 you're like, oh, you're a douche. So you're going to sound like a douche. That's blame in my head. So he's. He's right. Is it the baseline like the shitiest version. Like it's surely if someone's the peak of douche, they're not the baseline. It's just like you've got to like,
Starting point is 00:03:12 he's got a peak so high for me to notice if he says anything that's like fitness or gym related, you know? Of course he writes it into every script that he's in as well. He takes his shirt off. That holiday shirt? My mistake, by the way, I thought it was funny. The first short we ever put Blaine in,
Starting point is 00:03:25 that he had to be naked in it, the UPS short that we had for the Amazon drones. And boy, he took that and ran with it, didn't he? Yeah, but he writes himself as naked, but he also makes you take your clothes off too. I know. You're always naked in this stuff. He's, I think he's got a thing because
Starting point is 00:03:41 somebody that is side-side comparison of us in his gold shorts for the Rocky Horror Show and my gold shorts for the amazing race. And they did a side-by-side, they're like, who wore a petter? And he's like, fuck you, go through a picture. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:56 No. What am I taking steroids for? I gotta say, I don't know what, I just came up with that blame voice on the fly, by the way. No, you didn't. I don't know if you've noticed, but I that blame voice on the fly by the way. No, you did it. That's what you do all the time. I don't know if you've noticed, but I've been bulking up too. How are you, what are you doing?
Starting point is 00:04:09 I'm eating a lot. I can't stop. I've gained about 10 pounds in the last month. I have no idea why all day long I need to eat. I was, I think, actually, I heard me earlier. I was like, oh my god, I'm fucking starving. We were recording some videos for the know, and I had to be snacking the whole time. I cannot stop eating. It's because of getting something wrong with me.
Starting point is 00:04:27 Getting cold air. You just need to like bundle yourself. It's getting cold. So you're just layering up for the winter. What is it? Oh god. It's all right here. And also right here. I'm developing boobs Which I'm really uncomfortable with. They look good. Yeah, if I like It's a too bad me, Andy. It's as if you brought this. I need like a trainer, bro, like some of the lay cups or something. Have you thought about just going all out fat for 2017?
Starting point is 00:04:52 You know, you could just be like us, the fat guy. I could. Because we're doing fat uniformly, though. It's like coming like weird pockets. That's the problem. Like a sleast act for land of the lost. Want a sporehead? What are the places? When I was in college, I actively tried to get fat. Like a sleast act for land of the lost I want to spore head and
Starting point is 00:05:09 When I was in college I actively tried to get fat like every day I would eat half a gallon of ice cream Even regardless if I wanted it or not I was like I'm gonna eat half a gallon of ice cream every day and see if I can put on a weight And it's all just right here like right in the gut. It does not distribute Well, you have a very and it wasn't much it was like a tiny little You very distinct way of standing which I think you've imitated on the podcast before. It's just like up and never in front of me though. I saw it. Yeah, you watched the podcast when you're not here. No, but I saw that. I saw that.
Starting point is 00:05:34 You know why I could some fucking tattletail tweet to that, you know what I'm saying? You do have a lot of dobbers. That's probably what I'm saying. They grow up on some trouble. Dobbers? Yeah, like, oh, you do dubbed me into the teach and now I'm in trouble. I wasn't explaining what that word means. Yeah. Ah, don't double it. Oh, you know, you know, it doubles when you dub and then you dub again. Right before we went live, the three of us were sitting up here in Bernie, was right there backstage messing with his backpack, and all I heard you say was, oh my gubs!
Starting point is 00:06:02 Yeah. Did you drop something? No, it's just like, oh my gubs that Yeah. Did you drop something? No, it's just like all my gubs that I have, and I have to keep track of them all. Like I have three phones now, and why? Because... Are you baseline douchebag as well? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:14 I upgraded to the Plus, the iPhone 7, which by the way, awesome. Did you read the Apple has totally botched the launch of their wireless ear buds? That is not available. Yeah, yeah. So their courageous move to like get it done. And so I have my old iPhone. So I just kept it. That's kind of false. I know it's going to fall. I kept it as a Wi-Fi device. And then look at this. Google sent me a picture of phone. What does that mean? You kept it as a Wi-Fi device. You know, you have regular phone as a Wi-Fi device. No, but I kept it so I could do like time lapse
Starting point is 00:06:43 and stuff like that. And then I use, it's basically because this is so sad. What I mean in the airport? And I do a 15 minute time lapse of like watching the planes go. As soon as I start the time lapse, you can do anything to do because my phone is there. And I'm like, I just, I just sit there like this. Like, you know what most people do?
Starting point is 00:07:03 Now I got my phone phone and my time lapse phone. Yeah. You know what most people do that? Buy a camera. What, you're after is a camera. Which I believe is in your good bag. You have a camera. You know, you know what also might be cheaper?

See you later Barbara don't put in everybody taxi Don for evening what's the most number of people I ever booed you at once Barbara? More than this This is a small venue. I've been down here a couple times for parties. I like to sit down here. It's nice and cozy.
Starting point is 00:09:28 We had the... This is a small venue. That's his way of saying, you're a shitty crap. No, I'm just saying she's been booed by way more people. RTX is where I've been booed by like 4,000 people. Don't let him turn you against me. That's what he does. You do it.

This is where we had the laser team wrap party. I believe, right? Is your team? Yeah. Did you hear for that? No, no, this is where we had a premiere at the state theater. We had the after party here.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Yeah. So it was the wrap party. That's not a wrap party. What is it? The wrap party was bundled with our Christmas party. Oh, right. At the Vulcan something. Vulcan.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Wrap parties when you finish production. Yeah. It's not just a party where you play rap music live long You have to get up and do a freestyle rap Take it away. Oh Fuck off. We're hearing me when you need them. You know, I gotta give Jeremy credit because he got us in the booth He and he's done it with a lot of people at the company got us in the booth and got us to rap and that's no no no He got us to rap. And that's something he got us to rap.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Yeah. Listen, I mean, it's like, I'm actually, I mean, rest of what he's pulled off with this townless bunch. I feel like most people read and just throw like a, on the end of the last word. Yeah, you just have to add the, yeah, like every couple words.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Yeah, the Ryan one was the one I was most interested in. In Ryan and I was like, he was mouthful. He's good. Yeah, I Ryan one was the one I was most interested in. God, Ryan, I'm happy. He was mouthful. He was good. Yeah. I think it took a lot of takes. Yeah, that's true. And Jeremy edits him good too.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Well. Jeremy do good. He do such good. So guys, we have eight years of podcasting as of tonight. Eight years. I am seriously shocked that they're applauding that. How many decades is that, guys? How many decades?
Starting point is 00:11:14 That's two. Yeah, it's two. So we've gone down two decades since the last time you did this. Because it was joking, right? Because so we did the zeros, the tens. Once we hit 2020, it'll be three. It'll be three decades of 2020. Yeah. So eight years and two decades of podcast together.
Starting point is 00:11:30 That's how long we've been at this. What podcast number is this? This is 407. Is that correct? 406. Sorry, Patrick. So we get to 420 soon. No, he's working here. I didn't even think about that.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Yeah. We don't really. Really don't. We should do that one out of about that. Yeah. We really don't. We should do that when I was like, Denver or Seattle. Patrick, that's how this started. You said something and now we're here. Feel true. So should we throw this idea out to the crowd
Starting point is 00:11:57 because it's something we were toying with us after we started to talk about this event. We realize we don't do enough live podcasts. And so we toyed with the idea and I'll see you how many of you came from outside of Austin I'm dying if you if you see her park is not outside of Austin. It's FYI You know, he raised her hands like I don't get the job furthest away. Did anyone come from out of state? Dom came from Canada. Oh There's Dom. What's up, Dom? Get a thumb. Have you seen the
Starting point is 00:12:25 shirt he's wearing? Who the shirt is the last time you saw it? I'm joined a drunk tank shirt. Let me see that. That has held up really well. That is quality merchandise right there. Yeah, no, no, no, that is not available in the store, but I believe today is the last day of the 12 days of RISG sale store that Recital calm it is Does can never stop plugging stuff ever. It's amazing That's my job essentially So I was thinking back over all of the amazing things that we've done in the eight years of podcasting at Rishrige. And I thought it would be fun to play one of my favorite segments, which I think came about in your final.
Starting point is 00:13:07 That was GOSPS of the Lucas. How would you guys like to play a little Googler Daven? Yeah. You said the name wrong. You said the name wrong. Isn't it Gavin on Google? You piece of shit. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:13:24 It's a whole new game. It's totally different than the one you know. You know, I love that show, Reds and Blues. Great. Blue versus Red. Do you like thrown of games? My favorite. World West is awesome.
Starting point is 00:13:37 I'm imagining a thrown of games. Like, you've just found some mouse trap and twist. Have you wicked? All right, I guess we will play then. Fuck it. No, let's do it. Let's do it. They didn't make fun of you.
Starting point is 00:13:48 I did. All right, you want to play a little Gavin Google? Sure. All right. What if I said no? Fuck off. You're from Canada. You don't count.
Starting point is 00:13:55 OK, so here's the way that we play Gavin or Google. I take a three or four word phrase, and I type it into the global search engine Google. And I see the most common autocomplete that comes from that three or four word phrase. Then I take that same three or four word phrase and I type it into the global search engine Google and I see the most common autocomplete that come from that three or four word phrase then I take that same three or four word phrase and I give it to the mind of the young Gavin free who comes back with an equally or worse more ridiculous answer. We then try to figure out who said it Gavin or Google. You guys want to sing the theme song with me? Yeah! Alright, I think I have three. One, two, three.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Gavin or Google? Google or Gavin? Which one said it? Let's find out. Hey, I'm feeling lucky. Hey! Hey! Someone actually said I'd say that someone tweeted me the last time we did that.
Starting point is 00:14:43 And we're like, check out the front page of Google right now It says I'm feeling lucky on the browser. It's a reference to Gavin og Google I love that we can claim that after all these years What are you gonna do Bernie or Bing? What's that? When it's much of the show on to the show. All right, okay, so let's play Gavin or Google. The first race, Barbara and Gus, you guys will be scoring off. Do we want to have a special guest for the evening?
Starting point is 00:15:11 Join us for this? Sure. Why don't we have him do that? Ladies and gentlemen, joining us right down the middle of the theater, Mr. Jeff Keely, out of the Game Awards. So Jeff suffered from the problem that we suffer from and that we don't have Uber anymore, like a civilized city. So he got a little delayed.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Jeff, it's fast and. Yeah, yeah, it's, we're, we're, we're, we're ubalists. Yeah, we're in the middle of nowhere. We're in a, the desolate. Harvey Smith actually from Arcane, gave me a tip on Twitter saying you have to download Fast and so that's what got me here. Thanks to Harvey. I use it.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Solid tip. Is he awesome based? He used to be. So because Arcane used to be here, him and Ralph were here and he's in France. Arcane has two studios. But yeah, he lived here for a long time. All right, okay, well, you'll be able to pick up Gavin
Starting point is 00:16:00 or Google pretty quickly. So we have a three or four word phrase. You can also cheat and look on my screen right here. I'll cheat with you. We have a three or four word phrase. You can also cheat and look on my screen right here. I'll cheat with you. We have a three or four word phrase that we try to figure out who said it, Gavin, or Google based on the auto completes. I'm trying to find my entries for this evening.
Starting point is 00:16:15 All right, Jeff. Barbara, Gus, this is our first entry. I'm Barbara. I'm Gavin. Has there ever been? Has there ever been? Has there ever been? Okay. Those are the phrases that I gave you with Gavin or Google.
Starting point is 00:16:30 First response was, has there ever been a grape that grew as a raisin? Has there ever been a grape that grew as a raisin? Okay, no, no, I see it, I see it, I see it, I gotcha, I gotcha. It's like a Benjamin Button thing. Or it could have just been a really dry, hot day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I gotcha. Or it just had ambition to cut out the middleman.
Starting point is 00:16:54 The other was, has there ever been an American Pope? Has there ever been an American Pope? All right, Gus, since I think you're the whole of Barbara. Oh, I'm way too good. Yeah, off-al-absorbable. Why don't you start us off? I think that because of his fascination with grapes
Starting point is 00:17:13 that the grape ever grown as a reason, I think that is Gavin. I was going to say the same thing. I'll go, Gavin, too. You're all correct. One point each of you. I don't pick like I don't picture Gavin thinking about an American Pope, but But why do you wonder if there's one American? What does it matter? It's a weird it's a weird thing to think about.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Because Americans are very self-obsessed. Like we invented the Pope. No, I know offense. I'm fine a one a you do. Isn't the, again, I may be butchering this, but isn't the current Pope the first Pope born in the Western hemisphere? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:54 So yeah, we're making progress. We'll get to an American Pope at some point in the venture. I knew that too. Where's the line drawn for the Western hemisphere? LAUGHTER The primaridia. It's a Gavin Ergo. Oh. for the West and Hemispy. The primary video. The Gavin Ergo Booth. Where is the long drawn?
Starting point is 00:18:10 Okay. The next three word phrase is, Why doesn't A? Why doesn't A? Okay. Why doesn't a ball ever stop rolling? Oh, sorry. I read it wrong. Why doesn't a ball ever stop rolling? Sorry, I read it wrong. Why doesn't a ball roll forever?
Starting point is 00:18:29 Why does a ball ever stop rolling? No, no, no, no, what was it? Why does it ever stop rolling? Why does it roll forever? What does it answer say? What's that? What does it say? What are the actual words? Why doesn't a ball roll forever?
Starting point is 00:18:43 Okay. Why doesn't a ball roll forever? Okay. Why doesn't a ball roll forever? What are you doing? Keep rolling forever. This is the same answer. Read the words and say them. Why doesn't? I'm in the lion. Left to right. What does it say? It says why doesn't a round thing go on forever? No. Why doesn't a ball keep rolling forever? The other answer was why doesn't a dog try to eat its own bones? Why I read that one right the first time. Why does the dog try to read its own bones? Fascinating. Either way, it's an insight to the mind of a madman. No, nothing has changed. Just guess. So why don't you start us off again? I'm going to say the dog eating bones is Gavin.
Starting point is 00:19:30 OK. OK. Barbara? Don't stare at him. You can't try to keep the system. I'm not listening to them again. I'm going to say the dog eating bones is also Gavin, yeah. I agree.
Starting point is 00:19:43 I agree. I'm going to go the other direction. I'm going to the dog eating bones is also Gavin, yeah. I agree, I agree. I'm gonna go the other direction. I'm gonna go with bald again. Don't support him. Barbara, I guess you are correct. Woo! Although I wanna give a shout out to Jeff for trying to help me to cover that horrible,
Starting point is 00:19:58 that horrible first answer. Well, okay, obviously a dog doesn't try to eat its own bones because they're covered in fur. Right, it can't seem. Right, but does a dog know it's full of deliciousness on the inside? I think if a dog ever accidentally bit itself like that would be the worst thing in the world Maybe that's why I was going for its tail. Yeah, it's like oh shit I'm delicious. You kiddin me and he goes to the other dog. He's like guys We've been working so hard our whole life to find them
Starting point is 00:20:24 We've been working so hard our whole life to find them. They're inside of us. They're made of us. It's crazy. It's the whole time. Alright, this next one is what would happen if? What would happen if? What would happen if PewDiePie bought YouTube? What would happen if PewDiePie bought YouTube? And the other one is, what would happen if no one voted? I just I love
Starting point is 00:20:49 that last one. It's such a brilliant question. It's like I don't know what would happen if nobody voted. Would they just like would they have another election? Like what's the point? No one's gonna come back out again. Would they have a fist fight in the middle of the street? I don't know. Literally nobody voted. Gus, what do you got? This is for the wig for you and Barbara. Although Jeff can come from behind and tell myself if they are. I'm gonna say no one voted is Gavin. You got to go the other way. What's the first one again? What would happen if PewDiePie bought YouTube? Now I'm gonna do the voted one is Gavin.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Okay, Jeff. Popping you again. Hmm. I tend to agree with him, but do I have to go the opposite? Because I have a chance of winning. I can't talk math with the upper deck. I can't talk math with the upper deck. Well, this is this last question.
Starting point is 00:21:39 This is it. This is it. It's best out of three. Yeah, so I guess I have to sort of go with the opposite. There's one other chance of maybe winning. That's why you should see. Yeah, so I guess I have to sort of go with the opportunity to chance of maybe. That's why you should say in school, ladies and gentlemen, Jeff Keely just tied it up. There you go. That one was intended to trip you up.
Starting point is 00:21:53 That was a very un-gavin answer. Yeah, that's what it was usually. Because Gavin doesn't like being, I was trying to throw you a little. Well, now you're getting too minute with the game. Hey, hey, my name's in the title. I can do whatever I want. Game theory action, right?
Starting point is 00:22:07 Sometimes it's first, sometimes it's second in the title. Google or Gavin? That was actually kind of a curveball because Gavin does not like being mentioned at the same time as PewDiePie, because he looks so much like PewDiePie. And it bugs him that he looks like PewDiePie. Does it?
Starting point is 00:22:20 Is that something I've said? You're very upset by that. He's a good looking dude. He's a good looking dude. Hey, hey, calm down. It's no need to get very upset by that. He's a good looking dude. He's a good looking dude. Hey, hey, calm down. There's no music at some sense, man. It's all right. What's the version of his upset?
Starting point is 00:22:31 Are we actually going to have a tie-breaker question? Should we do it? There's no way to tie-breaker. Really, honestly, if there's... Stroppy is the answer, by the way. We're all... I just want to say, too, for why doesn't A? Gavin's backup answer, both of his answers
Starting point is 00:22:42 were better than the Google one, was why doesn't a dog try to eat its own bones, but his backup was, why doesn't a fart smell good if you drink perfume? And I don't know that that's true, I just assume it's not. That just makes me think of that image, that like stick figure that's like drinking out of a cup of tea with its foot. Like contemplating you ever see that? No.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Alright, there's no way that would carry down. It would always, the body would always inject the fecal smell into whatever comes out, right? Even if you ate just sheer essence. Did your fart ever smell like any food that you ate or does it smell like fart? Cabbage. I don't know, I'm just not enough. Nothing out of it. Alright, just wrap this up.
Starting point is 00:23:21 How come there aren't? How come there aren't? How come they're aren't? How come there aren't any B batteries? The other answer was, how come there aren't any gay snakes? What? These are just, I just take them as I get them. All right, so Jeff tied it up. Let's have him go first.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Which one said it? Gavner Google. What does that even mean? Gase Nate. We gotta focus on the Gase Nate's one, right? Who said Gase Nate? He is. It's a tough one.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I'm gonna go with the batteries being gav- The battery's being gav- And so Google wants to know about gay snakes, bar. Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Mm-hm.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Can I say, gal is in both of them? Like, it gets possibility that would be an ultimate trick answer for a tiebreaker. Yeah, because in my mind, I'm going through it. Galvin has a lot of like camera stuff and electronic stuff and tech stuff. So I figured like the battery one would be right up his alley, but also gay snakes who's asking about gay snakes online. Batteries is Gavin. Batteries Gavin Gus. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to agree simply because I think you tweeted
Starting point is 00:24:42 about this a couple months ago. But not being be battery. Batteries I think you tweeted about this a couple months ago. But not being B batteries? Batteries I think is Gavin. Ladies and gentlemen they're all wrong we have a three way time. What gap? What is this? I was going to shot you saw Jeff Stratigey. I thought about it.
Starting point is 00:24:57 But I didn't want to be the only loser. Wait. See he had everything to gain and nothing to lose. I had everything to lose and nothing to gain. Yeah but you're used to that though. So you're probably not gonna lose it. I'd rather have three-way tie than have them be in a two-way tie. I tweeted why on the A batteries. This double A and triple A was the single A.
Starting point is 00:25:12 That's right. But see, similar line of thinking. I think because if there was B batteries, people would think that they just had a stutter. Do you have any book batteries? No. No. No.
Starting point is 00:25:24 No. Show them goodnight. That's it. That's a good one. Do you have any book batteries? That's a good one see all of those claps make up for the booze that you go earlier Even now To me it's so great if the tiebreaker was why are 38 batteries? Like a coin All right, everybody. Thank you for playing Gavner Google. Everybody, thank you. They didn't play.
Starting point is 00:25:49 It's a tie. They didn't play. We played. That's a tie, nobody wants. They watched. Let me read this thing right here. I only have so many tie-brakes. I got a reason.

Thank you to blue apron for sponsoring this episode of the rooster teeth podcast. As always. Thank you very much. So do you do you notice that over time as you've done more in front of camera stuff is for obviously valid for everyone here that it becomes easier to read like a script or a teleprompter or something because I had to record something earlier with Gilby Adam Ellis. Oh, yeah, he could not go three sentences without floating on the note. Yeah, and it became incredibly frustrating and I was like just Just read the words. Was you reading a prompter? You're reading a prompter. His prompter isn't a quiet skill, I feel like,
Starting point is 00:27:28 because it's moving and rolling. Absolutely. He was like, he was just phrased. I've been doing scripted stuff with him recently, and he's memorized all his lines. He can go on for no time. Is it just the reading club? We go on for all sentence.
Starting point is 00:27:39 Every time he gets so highly of me. Every time he would flow by, we'd just say, buttery flaky crust. Buttery, flaky, crazy, I video, like the old couple trying to do the convertible. What the fuck are you talking about? They know it, you know it, right? Yeah, see?
Starting point is 00:27:53 No. Oh, I'll show you later. It's a great video. It's all about flubbing. And I think that before I'm in front of camera. I did a few videos for the know like years ago, and I had a lot of trouble reading the teleprompter, but you get better at like,
Starting point is 00:28:03 what do you think it is about it? Is it like, just like a scroll? I like like just like if you don't know the script beforehand you don't know like what kind of like it's kind of terrifying you don't know what kind of like inflection you're supposed to have or like if something coming up it's a question or a statement or if you're about to quote something so you're like yeah it is something I was up when you're reading something you've never seen it before a sort of like yeah where is it gonna go is it a question where is it going to go? Is it the question, where is it going to end?
Starting point is 00:28:26 It's like, it's not going to start scrolling either too fast or too slow sometimes. That's actually why I was always impressed with Matt when he would record Saj lines when I was doing season 7 of OVB. He would read them for the first time and do like perfect deliveries. And the only time he would mess it up is when he would laugh at the line because it was funny. And he was like, I should really read these before I just read them. Plus, he would just go and go and go.
Starting point is 00:28:48 Like what was supposed to be a five minute audio file for everybody else was 50 minutes friend. Yeah. He was just sitting in the booth and had a little bit of a boom. I guess the other thing is, like sometimes you read, spend all day with him. Settances that are written in a voice that's not yours. Like you wouldn't say that sentence that way. And then you're looking at it. It's like, oh, okay, that's not how I would normally have spoken. I voice that's not yours. Like you wouldn't say that sentence that way. Then you're looking at it, it's like,
Starting point is 00:29:05 oh, okay, that's not how I would normally have spoken. I think it's just nerves. I think when you first start out, you're kind of waiting to mess up and you're anxious about it. And then when you have like a flub or something like that, it just cascades in your head and you keep messing up and keep messing up. I have the exact opposite reaction of you is over time
Starting point is 00:29:20 because I have experience doing that when somebody else is messing up really badly, it doesn't annoy me at all because I'm just glad it's not me. I know what it is. I know what it is about my performance. I know it's like to be the person messing stuff up. No, and sometimes when you do like a whole day of things that you three are impromptu or whatever, and you don't have that one thing that you flop that you remember throughout the day,
Starting point is 00:29:39 and no one else remembers it, it's just like it's just one thing that you're like, oh god, I messed that one thing up. And it just drives you nuts, yet everyone else is just like, please forget it. It has no idea. It's like, oh whatever, it just happens. What's going on in the middle of the night? You get stuck in one word.
Starting point is 00:29:50 And I just have to change the word. If it's in the script, and I have to change it. Do this ever get stuck when you're doing live action stuff on a line that someone says that makes you laugh uncontrollably? And you cannot get through that scene, no matter what you try to do. We could just get like, getting a laughing mood, where... I don't wanna give anything away, but we filmed something for 11 Little Roosters,
Starting point is 00:30:10 where I was doing a scene with someone in the company who's really funny, and I had like luckily... So that never set down. That really does. It really does. But it was from like, their angle, so it was over my shoulder, and I literally had to do the scene with my eyes closed
Starting point is 00:30:25 because I couldn't look at them. And I had to bite my lip the whole time because if not, I would just be shaking from the back. It's difficult. I couldn't get to that scene. But on all the reverses of Bobber, there's an earthquake. Some reason. And that's tough to you because the AD on that shoot
Starting point is 00:30:42 is very much like concerned with time. So if you start wasting time or wasting people's time, you get in trouble. She was our laser team AD. Yeah. You have a Meg. She's great. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:51 So if you can't do a word and you have to replace the word, is it has it ever been a word that you can't replace? Uh, I can't do it. Like the one at the top, my head, what's it going? The. Like the word though, yeah. And then you just go, oh, instead. No, it's always like something like preposterous
Starting point is 00:31:06 or something like that where it's like a lot of syllables. And when there's a little bit of iteration, like there's two things or three things in a row that all sound the same at the beginning of the word, that will tend to trip me up, you know. Thanks for explaining all this duration. Listen, dude, we were off the topic. You dragged me back towards it.
Starting point is 00:31:23 What can I tell you? All right, so you know, actually it was, one of the things that I do when we're performing anywhere is I just constantly go over dialogue, go over dialogue, go over dialogue. In fact, Jeff, Ashian and I just presented on the Game Awards, you invited us to present the best action adventure game of 2016 when you were backstage rehearsing, right?
Starting point is 00:31:41 Did you do the little pre-read with him? We had two of those like award show, Bantry Line, you know what that was it? I must have said them a thousand times, 16 and you were backstage rehearsing right they do the little pre read with him we had two of those like a word show Bantry line to know that was it. I must have said I'm a thousand times just to make sure that I got it right because last I'm a natural off the cuff banter and they have a usually I don't know if you want this usually have a teleprompter backstage We sort of practice it because what typically happens the word shows these celebrities come in and you know They have never seen the script so they have this this fake teleprop, or you just tell it probably, fake camera, but back to the go through it. That would be the easiest job in the industry, is the guy who runs the fake teleprop.
Starting point is 00:32:09 That's a great project, so. Yeah, it's gonna be great. It's gonna be great. Let's scroll through it, let's see what you think, and then you guys probably did what they call the pre-read, where you start to go, and there's this teleprop, you're back to your backstage,
Starting point is 00:32:17 you go through it like, is everything look good, you're like, all right, we're good, and then you go out and do it on the real teleprop. Yeah, what you got that experience? Yeah, and it doesn't matter what I do to this day, I mean, going out in front of that audience, you guys were broadcasting all over the globe
Starting point is 00:32:29 for the first time in China, right? I even China, yeah. Yeah, and so you're very aware of that when you're walking up to that mic. It's like, I don't get as, you know, like locked up as I would have in the past, but my heart still starts racing, you know, so that feeling.
Starting point is 00:32:43 It means more to you, I mean, you're in front of crowds all of time, so the actual, you know, whether there were 500 people here or 50,000 people would be more about the idea that they're that many people around the world watching. Was it China? Specifically, that was there. What do you have against the Chinese? They know.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Is there a billion people? I'm good with China. I'm all good. We're all good. I think my worst nightmare is. I'm all good. I think my worst nightmare is being at an award show and like the teleprompter going off on me. You can just make crap up for 20 seconds and say the winner. But if you're in the mindset of like I have this thing to read, that's why I memorized
Starting point is 00:33:18 it. And then all of a sudden it's gone. No, I understand. They have these moments where these award shows where basically they will put nothing on the prompter until it's your turn to talk, because there's not like a director really queuing you. So you just sort of walk out there, you have this experience and sort of like, there's this black screen and you're like, I hope it's going to pop up at some point. And it's like, Todd is.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Exactly. Yeah. But like, but sometimes it may be it won't, right? And there's that one time where it's like, what do you do? Right. There's nothing there. It's like, and it's like, the time is so different. We say it's like, you're one of those planets from interstellar, where it's like, what do you do? There's nothing there. It's like, and it's like, the time is so different. We say, it's like, you're one of those planets from Interstellar where it's like every minute is a year
Starting point is 00:33:48 and you're saying they're going, yeah, everyone's looking at it. Oh, you're right, because normally it might be this big, you know, sweeping gypsha, like it's not even on you, but you feel like because you're out there, like the camera is zero to you. All of my children older than me now. I've aged severely.
Starting point is 00:34:02 It's feel like you can feel all, like I can feel all the Chinese games. I'm raising my heart. I get locked up. What's funny is I feel like I have kind of an opposite reaction where we do this podcast live every Monday night. Thousands of people watching online, I don't give a second thought to it. But then tonight it's like there's going to be a hundred people in front of us if something
Starting point is 00:34:21 is going to go wrong. I know something is going to go wrong and I'll feel much worse about it here because They can actually boo at me I guess And like that person is supposed to see what that feels like. What's good guys? Oh, that was hot get out. Hey, is anyone in the crowd Chinese? Well one person I'm nervous is hell now China's watching the spy is here I need a room, jerk. Someone just pointed something out on Twitter here.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Who is this? Grump the PJ? Saw the name. Every Twitter name is taken. Yes. At this point, right? Grump the PJ? They tweeted using hashtag RT podcast.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Are you not even going to question why Gavin was curious about gay snakes? Well, have you ever seen a gay snake? Have you ever seen a straight snake? How would you? Yeah, you watch Planet Earth, bunch of straight snakes. We're banging land eggs. I imagine like snake is the easiest species to be gay.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Cause they're dicks. Yeah, you're already in the position. So you're saying if you saw another snake back up and cruel up a different snake's butt, that's a gay snake? Gavin's given this a lot of thought. I have so many qu- But why snakes? Why not other species?
Starting point is 00:35:41 Why are you guys- Because I've heard of gay dogs and dolphins and stuff Why did the AC just go I do like only did all the crowd go sign up the room did to look at Bernie's glasses Your bless are fucking up I can pop the lenses out of them so these are you know We have a sponsor Warby Parker we should get a better sponsorship from Warby Parker because these are Tyler Oakley, uh, Warby Parker. He has his own line of glasses now on Warby Parker. Is that why you're born?
Starting point is 00:36:10 Barbara. Barbara. Barbara. I would change that to the teleprompter. So I'm wearing, I'm wearing, I don't think literally like anything I've got on today I paid for. Like this is like a promo hoodie. I just realized this. These socks we got from a sponsorship, I've got that phone.
Starting point is 00:36:24 It's like, you a baseline douche right now. It's like I don't own anything. Hey, hey a sponsorship. I've got that phone. It's like you a baseline douche right? I don't own anything. Hey, hey Bernie. I don't know anything. I'm gonna show you something Scroll through that. What's that? Gus's favorite page Yeah, but did you design the glasses or did you just pick them out like a chump? I picked them out and you're wearing one Look at the very first one on my page. What's that? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Very similar super embarrassed. Close, it's close. Get out. I can end this. I will turn this podcast around right now. So help me, God.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Did somebody do that? I can't see them. I forgot my glasses. How quickly could you turn off the podcast right now? Less than 10 seconds. I could tell them to do it. I can't do it. Oh wait, no, I could do it from up here.
Starting point is 00:37:23 Somewhere. I should mention something. So I know that people have had a little bit of trouble watching the live stream. Can I tell you I'm worried about something tonight? This is my biggest concern tonight is that now that we're here at a bar, a local bar, streaming the podcast from here, I'm worried the stream
Starting point is 00:37:39 will be better from here than it is at our own studio. I'm legitimately worried about that. I want to explain it a little bit. We know about it. We're working on it. The problem does not lie on R&D. It's the third party stream and provider we use. Oh, get fuck partner. Get fuck partner that we paid a lot of money to. I guess streaming video on the internet's tough. How much do we pay per pork us? A lot of money. Yeah. So Jeff, how many of you watched the game awards live when you streamed it? We had 3.8 million. We should talk to Jesus. How
Starting point is 00:38:14 did you have a live? Three point. I mean, I think it's distributed in so many places on so many platforms. China. China is one of them. But part of what's great about is because there's so many different places. So it's like Facebook's doing their thing. Twitter, YouTube, Twitch, so if one goes down, it's not the other world, but actually none of them went down. But it's kind of crazy that there is that one pipe out of the theater that goes to like all these different places and that goes down. That's really nerve-wracking. Yeah, that's great. What is the Microsoft theater? So you would hope that would come to some level of technology. I would want to just, I would just want to hold the cable I could say feel the power for any an ass
Starting point is 00:38:48 World everyone tuned in so what's the presenter so best action adventure game? So what was your witty banter that you had to memorize actually do you remember our witty banner? What was your banner? Can you do you need a prompt or? All right also wasn't Gilby terrible today Yeah, he was off all apparently I started right ladies first you started Hold on. All right, also, wasn't Gil be terrible today? He was awful. Yeah. He was awful apparently. Ah! You started right?
Starting point is 00:39:08 Ladies first. You started. And now when you used for action adventure game, hold on, wait, wait, wait. Let's take on the models of... For both adventurers, nobody watching the podcast. From a Rogage Vagabond to a genetically engineered cyber soldier. Two, let's see, which ones did I have cyber soldier. You fucked it up. This doesn't sound
Starting point is 00:39:29 like a banter. No man, there was a no man. China's tuning out while we're doing this. They're done. And then mine was something, whatever the hell ratchet and clank are. Oh, that's right. You just have a joke about ratchet and clank. This is like overwhelmingly witty. Listen, let me tell you some of my operators. Many writers. Oh, that's right. You just have a joke over action clang. This is like overwhelmingly witty Listen, let me tell you some my Is there's a lot of presenters that get up there and they will add to the banter and then what happens is someone like Hideo Kajima comes up and then he says two words and all of a sudden the music starts playing It's like what the fuck that's what the guy we're here to see and it's like I always get mad at the award shows Whenever the person who wins the award is ushered off so quickly with the presenter it goes forever
Starting point is 00:40:09 Right, so I'm just like get in get out get to the guys who won the award and let them have the stage That's why we'll keep having you back. Hey look at that. Yeah Yeah, I don't blame you if I could minimize the amount of time Bernie was on stage I would absolutely have him back all the time as well I I think I'd be funny if every presenter had a shot Color on that just would go off if they went too long nobody would go too long Listen, there's been some really Uncle bracelet you never know I mean, so I feel like the first time I ever learned about Kanye West was what was it? What was your in memory when you realized George Bush doesn't care about black. Oh, that was it for you
Starting point is 00:40:45 Too that was it for me. Yeah, yeah, it works. I should done that think mine was the Taylor Swift thing When he interrupted the speech. Yeah, yeah, that was your first. I mean, I knew Kanye West I didn't really like recognize him though. That's like them in the brand I knew the name Kanye West, but yeah, I just remember that but should Shirley Shirley Bassie song about diamonds. Really? Yeah. Can you sing it for us? Diamonds are forever.
Starting point is 00:41:09 That's pretty much it. You were. Is that a Canadian rap? I was trying to talk a bit for it. It's not a Canadian rap or a hoedown. I'm not sure what the whole stuff about a hoedown. You sound like a gay snake. So Jeff, the game awards, let's talk a little bit about that because the video game industry
Starting point is 00:41:31 has tried to have, I feel like, an award ceremony a couple different times. And for as big an industry as video games are compared to like domestic box office, it's bigger than that. You know, compared to television, I mean mean the video game industries are one of the biggest industries in media and i don't think they had an established a word show before the what was what was it that like what was the hold up there i don't know i mean i like the first video game of word show that i know it was on TV i worked on when i was a fifteen year old kid and get this it was called cybermanian 94 wow and it was hosted by the late Leslie Nielsen
Starting point is 00:42:07 from the naked gun and and Jonathan Taylor Thomas from Home and Proof and he was like bad show and it was such a weird combination super weird and it was like live yeah live from Universal Studios Hollywood and I actually got I was a kid and I was writing about games of time so I got to write the nomination packages that were narrated by William Schatner.
Starting point is 00:42:29 And this was, you know, there was a Cybermaine in 1994, there was a reason there wasn't a Cybermaine in 1995. So you've re-engotten it. Exactly, exactly. I've got the whole show. Yeah, no, it's online. You guys don't know what to do. You do.
Starting point is 00:42:39 It's actually kind of crazy. Like the presenters are like, Hillary Swank, Matthew Matthew Perry, all these people who went on to do bigger things with their career. That's CyberMainty in 94. But it's like Doom was the big winner at that first show. So I remember the guys from Kid, where's that? Small indie game. Small indie game, Doom, 1994, because then we came out December of 93.
Starting point is 00:42:58 You remember that one, right? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Doom came out December 10th, just to say anniversary. Tim, well, it's tweeted about for how many years it's been, it's been our 23, I do came out December 10th just just this anniversary Tim. Well, it's tweeted about For how many years it's been it's been our 23 I guess three But it was yeah, so it I still remember that being such an amazing game and then yeah, this award sure came after that But anyways like that happened that I was a G4 for a while It was called G for you which was like G4's awards which never really worked and then I was at spike for probably
Starting point is 00:43:25 Yeah, the, yeah. She's not getting G1's pun. Although the final thing was that, so the first G4, another random story, that was written by the three guys from the Lonely Island before they were the Lonely Island. Really? Yeah. I can even go to a drawing party.
Starting point is 00:43:39 Eight years old, that one. And they were like, and they were big gamers and that was like, I guess it was like 2004 or something. And it's like the three guys from only island wrote that show But again like what we're only on that question about g4. Yeah, they do like a lot of gaming stuff, right? They did do they ever do like let's play as they call it like g4 play What have been great I think this was good this was This was everyone who clapped out this was
Starting point is 00:44:25 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, We did the spike thing for like eight years. And yeah, I never really clicked. In many ways, I think, because it was, there were always like TV networks of people who didn't necessarily play games sort of coming and saying, hey, games are a big thing. Let's take like a Hollywood kind of like video music awards model and apply it to games. And it never really worked. And I was a part of all that stuff, because I always said to myself, hey, it's cool these people want to do these things. Let's go in and try and help them.
Starting point is 00:44:47 But you're all dealing with like, you know, you guys know the power of being independent. You can set your own rules versus sort of trying to tell someone else like why this matters to gamers. And they're like, no, that's great. We're going to book this, you know, the Cassidy Jersey shorter present because that's what, you know, that's what pop culture tells us is cool. Yep. So that was always the battle. And then game words like three years ago, I finally set up with kind of all the traditional TV people saying here's how we should do it.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Let's go online. And I mean, you guys were pioneers in this and saying, let's do something independent online. And we can make a show like five gamers, four gamers. And now we can be like live around the world. Right. And free to watch and stuff like that. So it's like TV networks always come to us
Starting point is 00:45:24 and say, hey, do you want to put the show on TV? I'm like, no, it's like TV networks always come to us and say, hey, do you want to put the show on TV? I'm like, no, it's like we want to be online. That's where people are. We were in live in 4K on YouTube, which is better than television. So jealous of that. Yeah, it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:45:34 You can't even watch the Super Bowl in 4K. I don't think, yeah. That's what's crazy. We are better than TV. It looked incredible. And it's like, why would you ever roll it back onto traditional television? Yeah, it's funny. I really appreciate the work you've done with the game awards
Starting point is 00:45:47 Like I think about like what you were talking about how previously it was TV people trying to dictate how awards Sure should be run and the own in my mind the only respectable award shows were like dice awards and bathtub But those are very much geared towards the industry. It's not like it's not they don't program and they don't they don't have Those are for people in the room. It's like for people in the industry, they're like sitting there attending. Right. And that's super credible when you want to have your peers congratulate you. But for me, like the scale we want to do, I always love that like we can be in front of millions of people. And that's like a huge opportunity.
Starting point is 00:46:16 And part of the reason people tune in is because we have all these new games we're showing and cool new, you know, E3 like things. Because at the end of the day, like I'm not sure there are millions of people who would just watch an award show. Maybe. Did you see recently the Kimmel bit with the new Nintendo? No, that was Fallon. Was it Fallon? Yeah, it was Fallon.
Starting point is 00:46:36 He was kind of really overselling the fact that he played video games, right? Oh, what was it? He was like, he was like, what was he doing? He was just like, really excitable. But then he was like, there he is, there's Link. Because really excited. He was just like, he was just like, there he is, there's Link. Yeah, because he was talking about Zelda.
Starting point is 00:46:47 I think he wanted everyone to know that he knew that that wasn't Zelda. There's Link, Link. You know, let me say Link. Although Jimmy Legitimely does play games. He did praise Link. I mean, I just, I just, I just, Jimmy does. He was just like, wants to, really proving that point.
Starting point is 00:46:59 What part of the thing is it's always, it's always hard to, because like, on those scenarios where someone's presenting a game it's like, what do you say? And it's like, how do you just, like, oh, that's cool, Reggie. So it's like, you need almost like scripted out. It's like, oh, there's that. There's that.
Starting point is 00:47:11 And you're right. It's you want to prove that you kind of know the game. Or you want to like, you need to be with the audience too. But gamers also as a group, they tend to like, reject that a little bit if they don't think it's genuine. Like Gavin's doing right now. It's one of the things, I just did a round of, we did some press in New York and in LA this last week. You're talking about Rucho T. In general. And of course, every question, every interview I did, they all wanted to ask me about It's it's one of these we just I just did a round of we did some press in New York in an LA
Starting point is 00:47:29 This last week. It's talking about Ruchu teeth in general and of course every question every interview I did They all wanted to ask me about PewDiePie and him deleting his channel Yes, you know, I had to like give my comment about that But it was like it's so interesting to see people in mainstream talk about gamers And I always feel like I'm resetting a couple of years like back to the days of like Mountain Dew and like oh you're a gamer and you're so extreme. And like whenever that people would come and they would shoot us at receipt, the one thing they would always do is like, can you guys just like, right?
Starting point is 00:47:51 Can you guys look trash talk each other? Could you just like, here, you do some trash talk? Because that's what gamers do. And it's like, I think when you talk to gamers in that way, or even when you use the word gamers, it's just like, you know what you're talking about. And it was always like the sort of pejorative term, which people would think that, yeah, gamers, it's just like, you know what you're talking about? And it was always the sort of pejorative term which people would think that gamers, it's like meant, you know, kids in their parents' basement,
Starting point is 00:48:10 drinking Mountain Dew, and that's who gamers were. And it's like, not gamers, or just regular people. And that thing I always kept saying to people is you can't talk down to that audience. So especially like on a night like the game board, it's supposed to be like celebrating this medium. So it's not like, we always had, we're doing the other shows, it was kind of like Hollywood parachuting in
Starting point is 00:48:26 to kind of like make fun of gamers and make drive games and all this stuff. And it's like, that doesn't work. Because we're not impressed that you're there. And actually, we're just as cool as you guys are, if not cooler. And it's like, if you want to come and celebrate the creators that are sitting in the audience,
Starting point is 00:48:40 then come and celebrate, but don't come and like make fun of, you know, gamers because you think that's cool. Right. Because that's not who gamers are anymore. in the audience, then come and celebrate, but don't come and make fun of gamers because you think that's cool. Right. That's not who gamers are anymore. And it feels like 20 years out of day. And it's also like when you look at HBO and they make shows like Westworld and Game of Thrones,
Starting point is 00:48:55 there's no one who sits around and goes, oh, so you guys making TV shows for movie fans. People who like movies, it's like, that's fucking everybody. Everybody likes movies. So such thing is like programming for movie fans, or programming for television fans. So it's like, that's fucking everybody. Everybody likes movies. So such thing is like programming for movie fans, or programming for television fans. So it's like gaming's the same thing. It's like, everyone's a gamer.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Right, and it seems so out of touch and tone deaf when people want to. Making those movies for the human fans. Yeah, exactly. Like, when you think gamers will like this, it's like, I just think people like games and they'll like this. Yes. I think people have it in their mind, a long time ago,
Starting point is 00:49:23 that wasn't necessarily the case. Obviously, the landscape has changed. But when I was a little kid, I didn't really know any friends or I didn't have any friends to begin with. But I didn't know any friends. Of my imaginary friends, none of them played games. Really? Yeah, I was the same way.
Starting point is 00:49:37 So what was the game, guys? Let's go back in time. You're middle school. You just want to talk to anybody about this game. What is the game you want to talk to them about? The game I wanted to talk about anybody about this game. What is the game you want to talk to them about? The game I wanted to talk about in middle school was Final Fantasy 2 in the US. Fuckin' dork.
Starting point is 00:49:53 No, Final Fantasy 3 in the US was the SNES version, which I think was 6 in Japan. That would have been the one I wanted to talk to someone about, but I didn't have any friends. It's like in my head I've already spent your milk money. It's like in my head I've already spent your milk money. It's already, it's already, it's already mine. No, what I know you mean, because to me it was like in the 80s, we had arcades, but like the home video game stuff was not a real thing. Like I wanted to talk to people like Ultima and things like that.
Starting point is 00:50:15 And it just felt like there was like four or five kids in the entire middle school that I could talk to video games about. Which now sounds crazy because like everybody's talking about it. Now when there's like a big release like Halo or Call of Duty or something like that, it's like a global event. It's kind of become the point. If you don't play games, you're kind of elusive. Well, no, you're missing out on part of pop culture.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Like it's entered the pop culture realm. It's like if you didn't watch a popular TV show or you don't watch a popular movie, it's like you're missing out. So much stuff to do now though. Like I was just talking to someone about this. How it's like, I haven't watched Westworld yet. And I feel like I'm missing out apart. You are. Like I would like especially with you guys who've all seen it. I feel like I'm missing out on a big part of life. But it's like I don't
Starting point is 00:50:52 have time to watch that and to play this game and to watch that and to watch this show and like. And part of the problem with games is you know problem is also a great thing about them is but it's like they take a lot of time to play. Yeah. So it's like sometimes you know movie you're like okay like I haven't cut up this let me go watch this for two hours and I'm done. A lot of games is like it's gonna be 25 hours. I had to really dedicate when I started Final Fantasy XV like I'm gonna play this through I'm gonna finish it I'm not gonna let another game sidetracked me like I'm committed to finishing.
Starting point is 00:51:20 So you're yeah you're a weekend. For the game. You also masturbate like three or four times a day. You could cut that off. You could still flick your bean a little, but also play these games. How long do you think it takes me? Go ahead, Gavin, answer the question. Pressure's on.
Starting point is 00:51:40 You just sort of in and out, or what? I mean, I prefer the DJ method. Yeah, yeah. Do you have one hand up here, too? Drop the bass. No, it takes like 30 seconds. From start to finish, 30 seconds? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:55 Like, I literally heard someone go down here to hit him. And someone over here go, yeah, that's about right. You can go group therapy session. I kind of want to'm a top-of-the-step. I'm someone I've hit ago. Yeah, that's about right. You can't get a group therapy session. I kind of want to do a survey now. Bart, just be like the rest of us and just masturbate while watching Westworld. But the rest of us do.
Starting point is 00:52:15 As I had to say, I appreciate the quality of the dong da boob ratio in Westworld. I like that. I think it was still a little imbalance. I think a little more close uponup on balance to balance that. It's progress though. They're working on it. They show dick in that show.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Lots. No, no, no. It's not necessarily dick you want to see. Was Emma like talking to me, Game of Thrones? Yeah. No. Or they all flaccid. I think they're all flaccid, but there's definitely, like, at least one dude who's a
Starting point is 00:52:44 shower. Oh, nice. I think they're all flaccid, but there's definitely, like, at least one dude who's a shower. Oh, nice. I feel like I've noted that, right? Yeah, I was like, damn. I feel like, I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- I'm a gr- and go, let me tell you about Final Fantasy II. I can't. You can't. Did you ever have a super Nintendo when you were in middle school? So I'm not a guy and I don't have a penis.
Starting point is 00:53:13 But I imagine. Oh, you've had a few. Yeah, I've had a few. That's a super old part. He's made that joke before. It's OK, I'm used to it. But I imagine being a grower is just more convenient. Because it's like compact. I don't know where the other side's okay. I'm used to it. But like I imagine being a grower is just more convenient because it like it's like I don't know where they're sides like
Starting point is 00:53:28 You're one of the other. I think the more difficult part is dealing with the balls honestly Because they're like always there and like always like if you like so you wish your poles would shrink down too Yeah, I wish I had smaller balls. Do they not wait as cold? Well, they like retract they don't shrink They don't shrink, but they like, enter you. They like, go inside for warmth. Being a grower, are you sort of at your largest right-off to?
Starting point is 00:53:51 Because I, yeah. You grow quickly, but triple back to gussiness quite slowly. Yeah, yeah. Takes a little while. So if, for whatever reason, people just glimpsed your penis, would it be right after you climax?
Starting point is 00:54:03 What if bloodthirsty? Yeah, that would be, that would be the first time. Could you imagine, like I know like, vagina's get like, you know, blood flows there so they get enlarged a little bit, like the clitoris area. But like, could you imagine if the entire like, lips and everything just like inflated? Blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu-blu a girl who's a grower, is that what you're saying? She had to sit up a little bit. I dropped it. Much of that dinner, just like.
Starting point is 00:54:30 Uh-huh. Or like all the girls in high school are just like. It's going well. It's like, you should grow, are you taller? John Cena walks out and all the girls in the room and just like, you'd have to use those memory settings for your car, like a driver seat, like a just. I'll see if you'd have to have little divots in them.
Starting point is 00:54:49 You just blow out the bottom of the stools. So great year for the Game Awards. Yeah. I hope you knew what you were signing up for. Let me read one other thing here. Straight off to that. Right? On a sponsor. Right, a sponsor.

In the middle of that ad, I press the space bar and it's scrolled the entire copy just up the screen like all of it was gone. Little awkward pause there. They'll cut that in the final version. Those sound scenes. Teleprompter. It'll all be together. Yeah, you guys get to see the real deal.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Yeah, with all the awkward pauses. Just show a hands real fast. How many of you are first members? Oh, so most of you probably watch this, most of the time anyway. How many of you are Chinese and first members? Wait global. Well, I want to thank you all for being first members I'd like to thank you in the way you normally watch the podcast by saying Tonight We're working on it. We're working on it. We've only been working on it. Well, they're
Starting point is 00:56:47 working on it, I should say. So I had probably the most interesting lift driver I've ever had before a couple of days ago. Not an Austin. It was actually technically fair, which is an Austin company, I guess. I got into this guy's car and he had lights all around the inside of his vehicle that changed colors Chris was like no like a like LED lights, okay, they could you log into the hue app and start changing I don't think so they just flickered different colors But I didn't music or anything or is it rhythm? Oh, there was music. Oh wow He he had two TV screens in his car one in the front seat one in the back seat. It was like a van kind of car. It was playing karaoke.
Starting point is 00:57:29 Wow. Hey, Mike, for you too? He was encouraging me and Aaron a sing. That's a Gavin, how quickly would you jump out of the car? If you had a talkative driver, and was trying to encourage you to sing. I'd be out the window. I wouldn't even open the door.
Starting point is 00:57:44 You would think this guy would be like really excited and like happy to encourage you to sing. I'd be out the window. I wouldn't even open the door. You would think this guy would be like really excited and like happy to have you in his car, but he was the most monotone Southern dude. I was just like, I like your setup because, yeah, this is how I roll. I'm like, this is a good song. He goes, you want to sing along? You should sing along.
Starting point is 00:58:00 I'm like, I really don't want to sing my prerogative right now. No. My prerogative, that was what was planned. Did you give it? No. No, saying it. No. We just sat quietly in the car, like watching the car.
Starting point is 00:58:09 The carry out he keeps going, though. Does he start singing at some point? He's humming at one point. That's like his fetish, right? Like washing people's sing. He's like, yeah. My prerogative. I know.
Starting point is 00:58:21 I think Aaron's singing lanes like crazy. Aaron might be able to tell you more. He's somewhere in here. He left. He left to go drink more of an asshole. He's gone. No, there he is. He's just like diving back into the room.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Do you remember that drive we had with the karaoke machine? He left. The karaoke machine and in the car we were in. Was it my prerogative? Yeah, my prerogative. I just like, I've never felt more uncomfortable in a car we were in. I'm in Brown. Was it my prerogative? Yeah, my prerogative. I just like, I've never felt more uncomfortable in a car before, because I didn't know what I was supposed to do.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Yeah, that's because Aaron was in there. Yeah, I'll take one. Thanks. I don't know what is. So glad you guys were paying attention while I'm telling you the story. Jeff, I was talking assholes. I'm getting drinks for everyone.
Starting point is 00:59:04 Yeah, break zero, I said my pr talking asshole. I'm getting drinks for everyone. I'm getting not being a dogative. Don't dump your fuck. I brought a broom. Uh-oh. Thank you, Gavin. I was I was listening and participating and passing out. No, I appreciate it. Gus Gavin Jeff. You know, it's it's what a resistant not whiskey
Starting point is 00:59:21 resistant, right? What's that? Well, I could what is different to whiskey. That might be the point. What's that? Well, what is different to whiskey? That might lead to that. At the point, it's like the whiskey molecules smaller, like they can get in. They're just like slightly slimy and drunker. They can let the way in. Sacrific.
Starting point is 00:59:33 They've got less inhibitions, so they can just like slide on in. You know, like in real life drunk people find their way into places you wouldn't believe. It's probably the same for the whiskey molecule. Because they walk with confidence, or they just don't care, they don't fear. It's probably the same for the whiskey molecule. It's true, it's because they walk with confidence. Or they just don't care. They have no fear.
Starting point is 00:59:46 So they can just wander into wherever. I've ended up weird places when I was drunk. Isn't it you? Have I ended up in weird places? Like you ever like wander into a hotel room. Oh yeah. You know, I found it's speaking since this is eight years of the podcast.
Starting point is 00:59:59 I was going through some of. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you very much. So I was going through some of recently. I was going through some of the old footage I have from years and years. I was organizing some of that. I found the footage of you and Jeff where you got all you. I had to save you but you were getting evicted from the hotel in. Is that what you saved me by stomping on my head and getting rid of that?
Starting point is 01:00:19 Well, yeah, I stomped on your head before the guy came up to the room and threw you guys out. But Gavin and Jeff got so drunk, they were screaming at three in the morning. Well, it's three-bed. In the hallway of hotel, then they were crashing around in their hotel room. And when the guy came and he said, what are you doing? Why are you making all this noise? And Jeff goes, I'm trying to punch him in the dick. And I have footage of you guys so drunk.
Starting point is 01:00:42 He was pulling around. He was pulling around. He was trying to finger my anus, and also my urethra. What? Hey, okay. Didn't Jeff just offer you to just like, money to shit on your life? We are so far in the weeds at this point.
Starting point is 01:00:55 Jeff said he would take a dump on my lap and pay me $2,500. Okay, Jeff's not the weird one in that scenario, Gavin. Yeah, well, he is. You're the game on a dude. We're the game on a dude. We're the game on a dude. Look, here's not the weird one in that scenario Gavin. Yeah, well, he is. You're the game on a dude. We think I'm taking money. Look, here's where I agree. I think money is someone's shadow on me for sure.
Starting point is 01:01:11 I already did that for free. I think I'm drawing my point here. I think there's websites for that. Look, I agree. Well, you won't see a long gonna lift. I shook his hand and it grins as a challenge to him. There's no way he's gonna do that. He won't deliver. So you think you're gonna have to pay him now to go through with it? He's kind of on the spot at this point.
Starting point is 01:01:36 Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh. Just shit on my dick. Dick. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha This conversation could have gone any lower, is to talk about on the spot. That's literally, this is firmly the bottom of the barrel at this point. Where's the worst place you've been drunk? On the spot? Extra life, 2015. No. I'm a scrant.
Starting point is 01:02:17 Oh my god. I wanted to make cheese for everyone. We call it hurricane Gus, if that says enough. It was something. So hurricane Gus. If that says enough. It was it was something. So Hurricane Gus. Like I can tell you that I don't get drunk that often the game awards that I just recently went to where there's a ton of people you're in a room full of people that you respect and there's a lot of drinks and everything and then there's that little voice in my head saying you've
Starting point is 01:02:38 drank too much. Just before after you presented. It was well after. I was saying it's good. You see those things where I remember there's one a couple years with giant that we're just shows up on stage Oh, no way left. I couldn't do it Did that bug come out that night? No, but I was like you know that feeling when you like wake up There's more like you try to recount every conversation that you had like I'm like what I see this person when I say that Because they okay, Jim is now we now it's coming to rt x Yeah, so yeah. I got a Gregor to a big talk, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:06 And I was convinced that in the few moments that I was talking to him canceled. Yeah, and he's like, you can't forget this. Wake up, there's the tweets. I'm staying home this week. You know, but it was like, it's just one of those things where that's the only thing with drinking

Are you? Why? Why? Why are you doing that to yourself? She cares about her family, Bob. So what part of Canada? One of the cool parts, and one of the parts north of the border? Montreal. That was a bad joke, right? I pulled up there. That was that cut, dude. That was solid.
Starting point is 01:05:30 I'm from Montreal, too. Montreal? You're holding up the record very well. Has Per capita, I think, the best-looking people in the world. Like all the best-looking people come from Montreal. I say you've tried to say that. Barb, barge from Montreal. Naomi Kyle's from Montreal. Sheer Lazarus from Montreal. I'm not from Montreal. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:45 I'm not from Montreal. Yeah. I'm not from Montreal. Yeah. I'm not. You just name me people you're trying to draw. Harley Mouranstein. Harley Mouranstein is from Montreal.
Starting point is 01:05:54 What part of a candidate are you from? Toronto. Oh, okay. I'm not offended. Sorry. You leave, Svan. I was when I was a kid in the last year. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:03 What do you like now? Nobody. Oh, okay. It do you like now? Nobody. It's better than the Leafs. NHL 96. Someone on Twitter here, dangerous DAC, said that extra livestream, Gus was so drunk he sounded like a serial killer taunting the police. No, my God. So I'm the brink of being gunned down at the end of his life.
Starting point is 01:06:22 At one point, I'll have to relive this on you. At one point, I was sitting on a chair. Gus came up to me, lift it up a shirt, and put his naked belly on my face. And he was screaming, I'm your boss. LAUGHTER APPLAUSE See, that's what's kind of awesome,
Starting point is 01:06:38 because we're both originally fans of Rucity. Yeah. I would love to take that one. And play it for you when you were 14. Good luck with that in your future. Have you removed all this footage guess? Oh, no, it's all there. There's best of compilations. I'll send you a few minutes. So when you woke up the day after extra life, what was your realloc? Walk me through the emotions. I woke up, I had a headache, shuffled into the bathroom, shirtless, looked down and saw a red hand mark.
Starting point is 01:07:11 That was still there? It was there for three days. And I was like, that's all right. Miles hit me, didn't he? And then it was downhill from that. I felt the least bad when I first woke up. And then as the day wore on, I just felt worse and worse. I think I was still maybe partially drunk when I woke up,
Starting point is 01:07:29 because I was still vomiting by 7 PM that night. Oh, wow. For the kids. We had a... We raised like $600,000 that year. This year we raised $980,000. I'm actually glad we came just shot a million. Because now we've got a next year's goal as a million.
Starting point is 01:07:44 Now we, when we break a million. Or we've already got it. Yeah, if we can do it right right? Yeah We had this thing the last two years called the Wheel of Destiny Where if we got a certain amount of money donated to us we would spend the wheel and Gus filled out each of the Compartments on the wheel one of which was homemade cheese So when we landed on it, drunk us was like, homemade cheese! That's the worst one! I still don't know what you were thinking.
Starting point is 01:08:13 I'm gonna save it. I remember what homemade cheese is. I'll save it. I'll bring it back in 2017. Should that be the goal for a million? Well, I'll put some stuff, some of those old ones that didn't get hit back on. We're not down for extra life this year. What's that? You're not in town for a year. No, I was put some stuff, some of those old ones that didn't get hit. We're not down for extra life this year.
Starting point is 01:08:25 What's that? You're not in town for a year. No, I was out of town. Did you play in your trip because of your... No, I'm still embarrassed from last year. No, no, I'm embarrassed by it. Really? Remember, I've told you this before, so...
Starting point is 01:08:35 Oh, you should be embarrassed. You should be. You lost people where I don't ever want to be embarrassed about stuff I did when I'm drunk. Like, I don't want to do something or regret it, so I always own that stuff. But what if you killed someone by accident? How's the bearish scamming? Be sure to. You think when they stand a guy in a corner who killed somebody they go, you killed these and I like yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:54 I'm just a super embarrassed about all the murder. Nah, just I just get front of it, own it. It's better to be embarrassed. You can only own it up to a certain level until you've done something awful. Did you see extra life? What's the word, what are you most embarrassed about when you've been drunk? I got, I got, I got your gabs.
Starting point is 01:09:12 The thing about being around people you respect, it was Gavin's first trip to VidCon and he was around all the other, you know, top YouTube creators. He got so friggin' drunk that I like, we were in the elevator, and I was leaving the elevator, he wouldn't leave me alone when he followed me, I put my foot on his chest, pushed him back in the elevator,
Starting point is 01:09:35 hit all the buttons, and I go, you're someone else's problem now, as the doors are shutting. That was the last I saw of you. Like, I'm a big worst thief fan, I really want to, I do not like hanging out with you. Let's hang out more. And you kick him into the lift. You just kind of disrespectful.
Starting point is 01:09:49 Wait hold on you at that time. You had that time. He's been trying to throw my phone into a fountain. I was done. I was done by that. This was only like two years ago, I think. It wasn't that long ago. It was like four years ago.
Starting point is 01:09:59 I was way old enough to be in control of myself. I wasn't. Were you dating, you were dating Meg at the time, right? No. No. Because I wasn't dating Ashley at the time. So, we were just, we were just two. There's two dudes having fun out of bedcogging.
Starting point is 01:10:12 We were just single dude. We were just single dude. We were just pushing each other in a panic. And we just came to a challenge. We just came to a challenge. We just came to a challenge. We just came to a challenge. We just came to a challenge.
Starting point is 01:10:20 We just came to a challenge. We just came to a challenge. We just came to a challenge. We just came to a challenge. We just came to a challenge. We just came to a challenge. We just came to a challenge. We just came to a challenge. We just came to a challenge. We just came to a challenge. Just a couple of gaysnecks. I think we know what's the name of this podcast, the title of this episode of the podcast is going to be... Paging? Gaysnecks in China. Yeah, there you go.
Starting point is 01:10:33 Damn, it's got to be that. What's the point, Jeff, are you going to do Game Awards next year? I hope so, yeah. This is the longest me entering conversation with a Game Awards ever. I love it. I hope so, yeah, I think it's at a point now where it's doing well enough that like, I'm excited about all the other places we can go with it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:48 Why don't we go live? They make games every year. They do? They do. Do it live from China. We've talked about it. Do it. Do it.
Starting point is 01:10:56 Be crazy, right? It'd be crazy. Oh. No, I, like, I, I would love to go. No, we had, there was like, there were like a million people watching live in China, like online at this. So, like, you know, they were like, we made sure you're doing the Olympics data.
Starting point is 01:11:05 And I'm just like, that would be crazy to have like, you know, 80,000 people there. It's crazy. You could easily full of steam. But then other people, yeah. So who knows? Yeah, I mean, it's exciting that we can be on so many different platforms, do so many different things, and be free.
Starting point is 01:11:16 So yeah, like I want to do it every year. I think it's, it's, people seem to enjoy it. They want us to keep doing it. So as you said, like, I think we're getting the closest we've been to a legitimate ceremony celebration games. Not that it's personal. I totally agree. But it's like I think we can get better and refine it every year.
Starting point is 01:11:31 And I'm just happy that us as a community we're finally sort of in control of it. So we can kind of hope, right, make it better, make it cooler. And yeah, I definitely, I mean, I want to get every December, let's do it. Let's have you present every year. Let's do it. Let's do it.
Starting point is 01:11:44 Hey, Patrick, keep it short. Jeff. I have some you present every year. I'm in. Let's do it. Hey, keep it short. Jeff. I have some availability on my calendar. I'm just saying I think we wanted all you guys to come. I was told you weren't coming. You know me. You know, I'm a Bernie. You know, I'm also check out some one of those esports stadiums in South Korea. Maybe you wouldn't come there. I was in South Korea a couple of months ago and I wanted to go see one and I knew of one and I was in Seoul. I was like, I was in South Korea a couple of months ago and I wanted to go see one and I knew of one and I was in Seoul I was like I was like where do they do the League of Legends file in South Korea? There's one was that yeah, it's like the I think it's the Sam so I know I think all of the OMG stadium
Starting point is 01:12:15 I think something like that but anyway I Those one stadium I knew I was like I'm gonna go out there I want to check it out that had been open for about a year and a half you know I took the train down there got to the location started looking for it I don't really speak Korean at all. So I'm looking, I'm trying to ask people, where's the stadium, where's the stadium, no one can tell me where to go.
Starting point is 01:12:30 Eventually I find someone who knows about it, and they say, oh yeah, it closed. I was like, what? They said, yeah, I guess that they had problems with the stadium, so they only used it for a year and a half, then they built an entirely new stadium and moved all of the esports over there. Wow.
Starting point is 01:12:44 It's like that's how lucrative and how crazy esports is over there right now. Thanks for listening, Barbara. Didn't you just get mad about this? Like, 30 seconds ago. Barbara wasn't paying attention because she's splashing booze into my crotch. She's trying to make esports.
Starting point is 01:12:56 Esports. I don't know anything about esports. So I'm doing something I know something about. Messing with Dicks. Making a dick with. Okay, can I stop? Oh, it's in trouble, Barbara. Caus in trouble. So for so inappropriate, in deciding what we were going to wear to present at the Game of War,
Starting point is 01:13:15 I had a feeling I know that the standard wardrobe of the video game industry is basically a black t-shirt under a black jacket with jeans and it's like that's probably what I was gonna wear so I was like okay I gotta go step to that which was nice and honestly that was Appreciating because I remember last year you have addressed I Would rather be overdressed in under that That was like last year the guy that won a Witcher 3 one game of the year and the CEO of CD project read great game But he came up and he accepted in like a Witcher t-shirt and jeans and people like a lot of people like that's
Starting point is 01:13:48 very disrespectful like he's a winnig game. Well, that's probably because they don't make much just to win just to. It does kind of rock and roll at the same time, right? Well, I work, I work, knowing that everyone's going to wear black, I decided to wear brown and wear like, this is gonna be real. You rebel you.
Starting point is 01:14:00 Look at me. And you actually had to coordinate. You wanted to look good on stage together, right? Exactly. Right? Did you coordinate that? I was wondering where you were. There we go.
Starting point is 01:14:11 That's right. We looked, well, wearing like jeans or black pants versus, I was wearing khaki colored pants, about two or three minutes before we went on stage. I had to go to the bathroom. Okay, so with me here, right? stage, I had to go to the bathroom. Okay, so you with me here, right? So the way that I went to the bathroom was such a precision operation.
Starting point is 01:14:31 No, I had to pee. So I was worried about showing up on stage, was like, when I washed my hands, I was leaning towards the sink like this. If I got any water on the front of my pants, I would have never lived that down. I was, and it was in four K, so you would have seen it. I had that point that you came from. If you get any water on the front of my pants, I would have never lived that down. I was always, and it was in 4K, so you would have seen it. At that point, did you get any water on your pants?
Starting point is 01:14:49 You just wet all of your pants. Right. It's like, so that it doesn't stand out. Then it's just a different shade of pants. If I got my pants wet, I would have started a fire in the trash can. So what, you were more worried about the water from the sink than you was dribbling? I was worried about the whole process. I was worried about the dribble.
Starting point is 01:15:05 You should know, like taking your pants off, hung them on the door, done your business, once you've done peeing and shaking. Flashback, the whole thing. It's like I wasn't thinking fully about, like when I got in the bathroom, like, oh, this could be a problem in brown pants. So once you were done, did you have to like pack
Starting point is 01:15:18 your penis away, like push it underneath to make sure there was no drips? I don't want to get into specifics, but yeah, that's exactly what I mean. I'm like, pack your penis away. You still want to eat in the overhead department and then you're not charged to 25 dollars?
Starting point is 01:15:34 You also don't want to walk out and cough and then have an issue. Yeah, I'm learning a lot about your body right now. It's a fascinating tour. Is there a lot of leakage with you cough after being? It can happen. For sure. I mean, if you don't do a thorough shake job, you can pull up and have a dribble,
Starting point is 01:15:50 or you can cough. What's a thorough shake job? You just don't know. Sometimes you can just like, go ahead. The audience is very split. I'm doing a silent poll over here. Half the guys agree with you. Half of them are disagree with you.
Starting point is 01:16:01 Wait, wait, wait. At one point, at some point, though, it's masturbation if you're just shaking that many hands. It is not. It is not. How many shakes is this though? You can't joke a flaccid knob. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:12 Don't you jerk it to get it not flaccid? When you get old. Do you know how dicks work? No. Say you think it do things. I want to masturbate. Let me work up my tiny little stub into a natural look. What do you do that you just look at porn and wait for it to like...
Starting point is 01:16:29 I feel like a groundhog. I just feel like in flight. You wait for it. If you see it's shadow, you got to wait six more weeks. I feel like it's a lot of it is mental and by the time you're ready to go, it's like it's working with you. You slap it around after that. It's like it's also like which came first, a chicken or the egg, right?
Starting point is 01:16:49 Okay. Do you start? Or is it the apple or the egg? Do you start flaccid and then want to masturbate or do you want to masturbate because you're already starting to get it right? Yeah, well, that's what I'm wondering. Right, that's, but.
Starting point is 01:16:59 Because sometimes I make the decision where I'm like, I'm gonna masturbate. Even if you're not feeling it at all. Yeah. You gotta be committed. You gotta be something, all right? Right. Well, Gav, what's your process by that?
Starting point is 01:17:14 You just get the call and then you have to go masturbate? I'm going, hello. Why, wait, why are you on her side in her mind? I'm just gonna curious, you seem surprised I'm on the side to masturbate. All I'm just gonna curious, you seem surprised to see the side of the mastermind. All I'm saying is that I never take my penis at its smallest. Go ahead. Show me again.
Starting point is 01:17:31 It's not going on it. I don't know what I'm saying. It's okay guys, it's on the metric system. It's fine. Totally average size, you know. What you're saying is, you don't decide that you're going to. You're just like, usually it's for a reason, and my crush is telling me. What's giving you a reason?
Starting point is 01:17:57 Give me a reason. Like, it's Saturday. What do you mean the reason? You saw some sleep. You said the reason. No, I'm saying it clarified. My penis lets me know what's up when to go. It does.
Starting point is 01:18:10 This is it. So like you're in the back of a lift. I put a man's head in his hands. So it's really you like you get to call and you have to go at that point. Show hands on this. Show hands. Who is just set there completely unaroused
Starting point is 01:18:24 and things let me get started on this? Yeah, yeah. Those are our people, Barbara. I'm going to raise it. Show pants, who likes that penis to let them know, hey, maybe it's time to go. That one guy had a terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible.
Starting point is 01:18:37 That one guy's like, you can totally have your own way of writing. That's fine. No, but Barbara, those are our people. I mean, for me, it's like, there's a commercial break, and I see the first commercial go, oh, I've seen this one. I don't need to stick around. I got three and a half minutes.
Starting point is 01:18:54 Yeah, if you're Barbara, you got 30 seconds. Anyway, sometimes, if you want to avoid a little bit of post spill, I'm talking about urine now, not semen. You want to, because that would be gross, if you mentioned that loud. You want to give a little extra care post spill. I'm talking about urine now, not semen. You wanna, because that would be gross, if you mentioned that loud. You wanna give a little extra care to sort of getting all out of the pipes.
Starting point is 01:19:11 You just don't know, so you can have it, you can occasionally have just probability wise, a little slip, and it's like, I don't want that to happen whenever, but step on stage in front of how many people? A million Chinese people. No, three million, eight million people. What's that? 3.8 million people.
Starting point is 01:19:26 3.8 million people. Oh, just wet jeans. Or I could have just worn jeans. That's a hindslings. Then did you see, did you check yourself in America to say, actually, everything look good? I did, I did. I had her check.
Starting point is 01:19:38 Thanks, baby. Was there a hand dryer in the bathroom? You should have seen me washing my hands. I was so far away from the sink. I was embarrassed. I have a question. OK, I know there's this hand dryer. I can't really not do it, but I thought of you. I do have one more ad read I need to get to at some point.
Starting point is 01:19:53 All right, Mark. But let me finish this thought. I promise it won't be that bad. Yeah. Maybe. I'm sorry, Scorsese. Can you know that kind of hand dryer that's like you put your hands into it?
Starting point is 01:20:03 And it's like really intense. Dyson Applate. Have you ever put anything else into there? Come on, dude! What Barbara, what are you doing in public restrooms? Oh, what's your life light? They you can actually see your skin ripple on your head. That would be yeah, the G-force You get an embolism the G-force on your penis skin must be through the roof of that. That damn. I was learned a lot about Gavin's body, not I'm learning a lot about Barbara's techniques. Aaron, she knows a blowjob isn't like that, right?
Starting point is 01:20:38 She knows that, right? Absolutely not. So that's your response, er. Wait, wait, who's shoved that cock in a dice and add like, no hands what up?

Starting point is 01:21:22 your own home on the web, because you never know when platforms are going to change and all of a sudden people are unsubscribed from your channel. There you go! How is that? How is that? A prime example of why you should own your own space on the internet. It was so great to be able to talk about that this week. It was the affirmation of the business model we've had for years and years. It's like now everyone is and it happens all the time on YouTube. There's an algorithm change or an interface
Starting point is 01:21:44 change and everybody kind of loses their mind for a while and this one seems Everyone is, and it happens all the time on YouTube. There's an algorithm change or an interface change, and everybody kind of loses their mind for a while. And this one seems pretty serious because a lot of people are documenting how they're losing subscribers, or those are actually- I saw Ashley complaining on Twitter. She actually was one of the people. And it's like, and it's very serious.
Starting point is 01:21:58 I know she sent, she sent a graph to, got YouTube on Twitter, I was like, this is her, she's got stats. Delete his channel. You can delete the no? Don't do that. Don't do that. You got to delete your on Twitter. Judy Biden, she's got stats. Delete his channel. You can delete the no. Don't do that. Don't do that. You go to delete your second channel.
Starting point is 01:22:08 That's how you do it, right? You have a second channel. Oh, shit. I haven't even. But it was great information to be able to say like, OK, there's a major change on YouTube. It doesn't, like, we're not all in on YouTube. So it doesn't, like, sink our business.
Starting point is 01:22:21 I mean, some people, it's like, if there's a big change that happens, talk about. What are you talking about? Remember when you got rid of mod points? You know what I'm like? Coma. I mean some people it's like if there's a big change that happens What are you talking about remember when you got rid of mod points? Yeah, I would like a comma I know little changes. I know. I Regret doing that. I wish we'd kept them. I really do Well, I wanted to have something who is around on the website for comma and Small school so decent amount. Yeah
Starting point is 01:22:40 So you don't even have to raise the problem you should always design a site To reward the behavior that you want people to do. And we wanted people like using modding up other people's stuff. The end result of it, we're moving the mod points. We used to have like a karma system on the RISC website. And people were hoarding them.
Starting point is 01:22:58 And they weren't like giving them to people like a plus one. Like, hey, that was a great post. Now that we have a. Give it to someone. You would get a bank of points. And you could also do like 10. Like imagine if you're on Reddit, you could do 10 a great post. Now that we have a, you could give it to someone. Yeah, you would give a bank of points. You'd spend them. And you could also do like 10. Like imagine if you're on Reddit,
Starting point is 01:23:06 you could do 10 upvotes on something, but you really liked. But now people mod stuff, even to this day, people mod stuff way higher than they did back in those days. Go look at one of your journals from like 10, or seven years ago, versus today, more people will mod it today than mod it back then, because they were hoarding their points,
Starting point is 01:23:22 which is ultimately what you want. Well, can you tell you use a site like we used to do like mod point content. It did and we lost that stuff. That's just got mod bombing. Yeah. Like people would come together and down vote a journal until it was pretty much deleted from the website. What asshole who like ordered up 4,000 mod points would like a negative a thousand like four of your. Are you talking about Haxa? He's one of them. He's our old school. So how long have you guys been on the website total 14 years 14 you sure you started the website does not exist for 14 years Well, when was 2003 the website was different?
Starting point is 01:23:54 When the website was different. Yeah, that's easy. There's the PHP Yeah, the movable type interface. Yeah, I still consider that the website I know about the website now October 2004. There you go. Yeah, status window website launch that is correct answer. I've been around September 2004. I was nice and set. I'm you're 24th. I'm user number three on the website. I'm 82 garbage. I think I came down to do. I interviewed you guys are for the spec show is probably 2006 I think right when I came down to boot.
Starting point is 01:24:23 Yeah, you guys all in the house from Remember That. Do you know what I recently just learned? Gus, remember when Sway from MTV came down to visit us? And we all talk about Sway. The guy who was with him, the producer, was Stephen Tittle. Yeah. Really? Oh, Kotaku, yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:37 Is you related to Patello? No. No, they're different names. They just rhyme. I mean, that's not a joke. How does relation work in game? Yeah, you know, Jack's brother, an Amadillo. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:48 Yeah. Yeah, I saw him in New York, and he pointed out that he had been down to mute in Texas. Yeah. Come see us when we were, you know, I had no idea. I was in the truck. Right by the truck.
Starting point is 01:25:01 Yeah, that was, I remember, yeah, it was 2006, we filmed that. And Ashley was actually on my first ever episode of The Spike Show too. Oh really? As a Frank doll? Yep. Cut her off. Cut her off, please.
Starting point is 01:25:12 Cut her off. Cut her off, please. I was September, I think of 2005. Well, do you know what happened five years ago today? Oh, I was gonna say this, you know how you have to like prompt it. So in addition to us having eight years of podcasting as of this episode, or emergency podcast, two decades of podcasting,
Starting point is 01:25:30 today marks the fifth anniversary of Barbara Dunkelman coming to work at R Usher T. Productions. Oh. Oh. Today, exactly five years. Exactly, yeah. Well, happy anniversary. What is it? Do you get service awards, like five, 10 years, R Us, yeah. Well, happy anniversary.
Starting point is 01:25:45 Thank you. Do you get service awards, like five, 10 years, Rooster Teeth, like something like that? Yeah, brand new, what do we get? You don't know? Would people get a five years? I'm Bocha. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:54 Oh, yeah. We get you a Dyson Airblade. And 30 seconds, because that's all it takes for you, apparently. No, we do something, but I'm surprised you don't know what it is. You don't know from like Brandon or anybody? Oh, I watch. There, I'm especially don't know what it is. You don't know from like, Brandon or anybody. Watch.
Starting point is 01:26:07 There you go. Yeah. What's this for women too? What's that? What? Yeah, for women too. Wait, isn't it? Isn't a watch what Dennis Halt put got in speed and that's why I wanted to blow up a bus.
Starting point is 01:26:16 He gets that shit gift. I never, I never, I never got to watch. How long have you been in the company? No, that's your fucking reward. There you go. I got a career. How long have you been in the company? Parking ears. Oh, that's your fucking reward. There you go. I'm not a career. I ain't gonna watch either. That's something Matt started.
Starting point is 01:26:32 He's just like, Mr. Spend Thrift. He's like, let's give out watches. But, yeah, so I think they're gonna do... I can't imagine they're not gonna do watches. Like Matt, that's Matt's thing. He likes to do watches. It's a very traditional thing. Sorry. I wonder how soon should she get her watch?
Starting point is 01:26:47 I don't know. And where could I sell it? We'd like to thank. She's, you want to sell you a gift? We'd like to thank Movement Watch's for sponsoring Barbara's Fifth Anniversary at the company. I don't know. I don't want to make any promises.
Starting point is 01:27:00 You talk to Matt. But congratulations on five years. Thank you. It seems like you guys. Thank you. It seems like longer- It's the five more. Yeah, I know. What's the telly again? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:27:11 Nobody's hit 10 years besides the founders. I have no idea. I wish I could tell you. I mean, what are we doing in 10 years? I mean, it was like, there was our anniversary. Who's the closest to 10 years, Brandon? Brandon and Jack. Maybe. Oh, god, really? Brandon and Jack, I guess. Maybe, yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:25 Oh, God, really? We can't allow that. I have to have it. This seems wrong. Yeah, but at 10 years, we just celebrated our anniversary and then, I don't know. Do you get a fruit back? It's good, there's so much.
Starting point is 01:27:36 10 years of service. You got an apple. What would you like, Gus? I don't even think you'll make it. You're coming up on 15 years as of April 1st. No, that'll be 14 years in April 1st. Uh, whatever. Yeah, you just not right.
Starting point is 01:27:48 Yeah, you want to be 14? Yeah, I'll take it, I'll take it, my box. The velvet edition. The velvet top. I'll put an Ergolker request to Matt for your my box. It'll make up for the watches I didn't get. What are you to this? You're coming up on five years, pretty soon.
Starting point is 01:28:03 Yeah, he's in February. February 14th. February? Watch a sunlight. Yeah, I mean, you're a weird one too, because he directed season seven of Red versus Blue as well. And that was before that. I actually picked up Gavin from the airport when he got to Austin.
Starting point is 01:28:15 It was my first time driving to the airport, since I had only moved there like two months before. And I almost got lost and never got you. You were early. Yeah, I should have like an hour early. I was nervous. We actually went out for drinks that night and I met Chris for the first time.
Starting point is 01:28:33 And you squeezed a lime into his eye. I think I bet him 10 bucks to squeeze a lime into his own eye. But it went in my eye. I think. Or did our squeeze into his eye and it went in my eye? It's not video, I got it. We went to home slice that night. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:45 And you kept going like this to me. Because you were real. Hope. Hope. Did you see Chris Dumeris skip on last week's podcast? Nope. Yeah. Oh, I just skipped it.
Starting point is 01:28:55 Skipping? Yeah. Look, guys, it's a weirdo. It was like a hopped foot to foot. I mean, you never skipped it. So we didn't know how you skipped. He might have been the person I was doing that scene with with 11 little roosters. You are thinking at him. Yes if it was him that I'm talking
Starting point is 01:29:12 about. It is. So I had a so ahead of this anniversary for the podcast I'm sorry Barbara not for you. Our eighth anniversary podcast we had a few user or we had people submit questions for the podcast. I'm sorry Barbara not for you. Our eighth anniversary podcast we had a few user or we had people submit questions for the podcast. Oh wow okay. I just want to go through a couple of them here and then get your your feedback on it. Didn't Brian write Q-cards for you and you just do travel very much. Just in case the internet didn't work. I've got them backed up on on Q-cards or Brian. Well I feel like you're loud. Brian I don't think you even work here anymore. Do you? Where is he? He left.
Starting point is 01:29:46 It's your last day? That's his last day. Well, at least go off the cue cards then. Go buy, buy, buy, and drink. Close that shit. No, no, no, I got to be here. He made you cue cards. I got to be mean to him.
Starting point is 01:29:53 Why did you quit? Why did he quit? He's an intern. He's an intern. Oh, sorry. It's a work time. No, watch for him. So someone asked, how did the RT podcast start?
Starting point is 01:30:04 What was its original purpose? I had a strategy for a while in the middle years of Roocher G's where if we talked about doing something and we talked about it for long enough, that I was just like, fuck it. I'm just gonna do it and I would start it and then that would get people like, oh shit, this thing's getting going. I got to get involved with it. So we did that in the podcast. I came in one day, I said start it and then that would get people like, oh shit, this thing's getting going, I gotta get involved with it. So we did that in the podcast. I came in one day, I said to you and Jeff,
Starting point is 01:30:30 I put down the mics and we recorded a podcast and put it out and then I think we went like three months before the next one. We did it to launch achievement hunter. And then three months later, it was like, we did another one and then Gus, you picked it up from there. Like I did the first, I think like four or five. That's why there's so many of songs. It's Gus go with the theme song right where it's like I was starting to stop trying to get Gus to sing it never happened. What's that never saying it no
Starting point is 01:30:53 But I did the same thing with like remember with shorts. I did the same thing Where you and I shot that ninja Gus all right? We talked about doing live action stuff forever And I was like you know what? I'm just gonna shoot some live action and put it up on the channel. You should start talking about Barbara getting a Tesla like over and over again. That's why I've been talking about a my-buck for eight years. Good, keep going.
Starting point is 01:31:13 And the same thing with achievement hunter. Like we've been talking about achievement hunter forever. Like before we hired Jack, we were like, we wanted to make this site, it was all about achievements. We didn't really know what Let's Play was at the time. But we talked about it so much. I just started posting videos up in my journal of like, mile high club on Call of Duty.
Starting point is 01:31:29 And it's like, I think that feeling of like, like when you get that kind of ball rolling, then people are like, it's a little bit of foam-o where they don't want to get left out, but then they kind of like, oh shit, this ship's on the move and they take over and they go nuts with it. So eight years later, here we are making podcasts.
Starting point is 01:31:41 You know why I was interested in taking over when you started? It was out of spite. Why? Not for you. Someone thought, someone made a journal on the Roots Teeth website back then. Before we had the podcast saying, trying
Starting point is 01:31:54 to explain to us that in order to make a podcast, you didn't have to pay money to Apple and that we were so stupid that we didn't understand how podcasts work. And I was like, mother fucker, I know how podcasts work. So it was like, I wanted to make sure we kept making one to prove that person wrong. Do you remember who the person was?
Starting point is 01:32:10 Ben King. Oh, Jesus. Really? Yeah. We left it all over Ben King. Long memory. Yeah, I remember that. What else we got?
Starting point is 01:32:18 Since the eighth anniversary of the podcast, you're going to be the 14th of the company, would you consider making a documentary about the company itself? So we have RT docs now. Yeah. So I see why this question came about. I think there's a good version of that out there. Do you think us of that?
Starting point is 01:32:32 A good version? Yeah. Yes. I don't know. I feel like we've done several retrospective pieces, but I don't know if we've done one as a whole. Are you thinking of something I'm not thinking of right now? I think it's probably honestly one of the best things Machinima ever produced was that info-not series, they were going to start
Starting point is 01:32:48 this documentary series. They asked us if we could be the first subject of their documentary series. They did a two or three-part documentary on Rishi Teeth, and then they never did another one. But that documentary is one of the best ones about Rishi that I've ever seen. And it was around, not a lot.
Starting point is 01:33:01 With all your respect and Jeff, who did his story for Rishi the years and years ago. It was around the 10-year anniversary, I believe, right? I think so.. And was that around? With all your respect and Jeff, who did his story for years and years ago. It was around the 10 year anniversary, I believe, right? I think so. Were they did that? Yeah. So I think, yeah, maybe at some point in the future, it's always hard to talk about it
Starting point is 01:33:13 because we're always in the middle of it. Well, also, the company has changed more than I think it's ever changed before in the last two years. So I feel like even a documentary that was done four years ago is very inaccurate. I like it with that. Yeah, because it would be like six people in that documentary. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:27 No, it was you 50? Six years ago. Yeah, 260 people as of today. So you said, what? 259. Sorry, Brian. Sorry. For people who don't know, Brian's the guy who dropped all
Starting point is 01:33:39 the in and out burgers. Did we ever put him on? Did you ever go live when he was asleep as well? Yeah, we actually used to that. That was a big deal. We filmed him sleeping with the Gib GAM. What a great use of inexpensive piece of equipment.
Starting point is 01:33:53 During the post show. That was on the post show, yeah. And I had to make sure that he was OK with it going out before we brought him to catch his sleep. I felt bad about that. There's something so invasive about someone that he's really great. Totally great.
Starting point is 01:34:02 He's awesome. He's also been helping produce, always open with us. So he's been a great help with that. It's gonna be sad to see him go and never come back. Oh wow. This is Rubin's salt and the moon, look at that. So how does that work? He's just done now.
Starting point is 01:34:16 We can't just hire him. He's in school, yeah. We can, he's in interns so we continue to not pay him, but we just continue to not pay him somewhere else. So it makes the way worse. Actually our interns have a great, I think, ratio of getting a rate of getting hired. Like, Blaine was an intern rubbing it in his face.
Starting point is 01:34:32 I'm saying. Sorry, ABC. You didn't make the cut. Brian and Gavin Spott next year, you'll know why. That's why that happens. Why am I sput? Let's be honest. You'll be dead.
Starting point is 01:34:43 OK, last one. One more. Do you think, will there ever be a hot spot. It'll be dead. OK, last one, one more. Do you think will there ever be a time when they sit rope-burning and Gus hand off the podcast? Or will they retire it and have someone else start something new or different? Going back to the previous question to you about documentary, one of the things that you talk about handing off
Starting point is 01:35:00 is I see the trajectory is eventually some point in the future. I will quit Ruchitith in the next day I'll publish a book. That's the way that I- that's the plan. Like and tell all about everything at Rupert Heath. But I actually don't consider the podcast. I don't consider myself to be one of the leads on the podcast. This is- I consider this to be your show.
Starting point is 01:35:15 I think your credit is a producer on it. Well, I'm a producer on it, but if I ever have anything I want to do on the podcast, I bring it to you and pitch it to you. You don't fucking pitch it to me ever. I guess that's true. Yeah. So I consider this to be your show.
Starting point is 01:35:28 Is that why you're always yelling at us? Always. I don't know. I feel like it's crazy that we've talked so consistently for eight years. To go back and listen to it, it's like you almost have a record of your life over, you know, honestly, close to a decade. And it's intimidating every week, every Monday, you know, I'll wake up in the morning,
Starting point is 01:35:50 every like, oh, God, fuck, I need to think about stuff to talk about tonight. Like, what happened to me in the past week? Such a joyous time. I'm making some notes. Look, look up news on the internet, something I may want to talk about. But it's like this, this weight that never goes away.
Starting point is 01:36:03 It's like, you know, you're done with one. There's another one next week, fuck you. You know? So there's just a huge button week off the week. Yeah, it's a lot of stress, a lot of work. There's got to be a few weeks off, Fred. Every now and then, if I'm on the road, I'll stop. But I think, what is it, according to the spreadsheet,
Starting point is 01:36:19 I've been on like 95% of them or something crazy like that? Jeff, what's your opinion? Your longest run at one place. I don't know, I feel like the spike show we did for eight, nine years, maybe? Wow, it's probably, yeah. It's rare, that long. But I'm also a control freak.
Starting point is 01:36:34 And I can't imagine handing it over to someone and being like, you do it now. If you had to hand it over to one person, Brian included. Who would you hand it over to? This is going to sound like an unconventional pick. I would probably hand it over to Brandon. Farming Heaney? Yeah. Get fucked. What? I would never go on that podcast. Love like the audience reaction was like, yeah. Gus. Gus. I'm sure they should agree with you or not. Why? Oh, their phone's like, how do I unsubscribe from this?
Starting point is 01:37:07 Brandon is a lunatic. Like, he would obsess over it. Like, anytime I invite Brandon to be on the podcast, all day long, he just sends me links about stuff that he wants to talk about. And I tell him, Brandon, don't talk to me about this. Like, I don't want to waste the conversation now. Like, I think he worries about it as much as I would.
Starting point is 01:37:23 You both are equally neurotic, I think. Yeah, so I think that he would be he worries about it as much as I would. You both are like equally neurotic I think. Yeah, so I think that he would be like so worried about it and like making sure that it happened and that stuff was going that I think I would trust him to do it even though I yell at him all the time according to Gavin. I love going on the podcast. I'm very rarely on the podcast with Brandon but I love when I am on an episode with him because there's like five seconds right before the show starts and the theme is playing It's like And Brand is going they're gonna hate me. They're gonna hate me
Starting point is 01:37:52 It's just like he's right I'm not afraid to himself I heard someone psyching themselves down That's not a joke. He honestly is like that I think he wakes up in the morning and look in the mirror and say, you're a piece of shit. It's like he hates his own confidence. He's like, I'm feeling pretty good about this. I suck. I'm like you're terrible. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Starting point is 01:38:16 It's just like me. I love Brandon on the podcast. He's great. He's great. He's great. So that's what we have to look forward to in the next eight years of podcasting is Brandon taking over at some point. Oh, I don't think he would, but I'd like to try to hand it off to him. He used to help a lot with broadcast in the early days before we had Patrick. Brandon and I used to, we rigged together
Starting point is 01:38:36 the first studio, which was fucking awful. I'm sorry, Patrick, that you didn't hear it that. It was a nightmare. Well, Brandon used to direct the podcast, right? He used to do all the switching and stuff. Yeah, it's because we built this studio that by all rights should not have worked. And I don't think anybody else ever really fully understood it. And that's why Patrick had to dismantle it and build it the correct way.
Starting point is 01:38:56 So thank you, Patrick. He looks like a DJ over there. Well, guys, I want to say it's been a great eight years. I love sitting down every Monday night and sitting across from you guys and talking you about everything in our week. It's really a highlight of my week and I look forward to it every time we do it and I look forward to many years in the future as well. Great. Thanks for watching everybody. We will be back.
