We've ever used try them out at express VPN.com slash rooster. The whole thing was a mess. We're under late. Everyone was just a podcast. I'm Gus. I'm Gavin. I'm Andrew and I'm Barbara.

Eric, you told me to say slash rooster and the graphics head slash RT TV. Listen, who can say what is the problem here is that where's Andrew is the thing? He's right there. He's right there. And not the problem thing that I messed up the worry about. Classic deflection. It may sound like you forgot the name of what we would do it. Well, I was going to say RT because I was doing the normal ExpressVPN Topper Show. We do a different one for the RT podcast. So partway through. I realized it.

And then to like stabilize where I was mentally, I looked at the URL on the screen, and I was like, that's not even the right one. Who can say who did what and what problem was caused by who before the show, other than Andrew messed up the whole thing by not being here. and can you believe it? I can't believe it. And that's what we should focus on. All right. Cheers everyone. Cheers. Andrew's running a little late. He'll be here in just a couple of minutes. He's doing something else around there. He's better take that knife out of his head. He's reading it's a little dangerous. He's reading I Okay

Should I start I've got I've actually got a couple things to talk about this week Shit I have one thing to talk about. I'll start with something light since Andrew's not here yet, but I got so Fucking annoyed the other day believe it or not. I know me annoying you Squirrel or possum. Raccoon. Raccoon. Good guesses, but no. The driving, driving related. I was driving down the road, going straight in my lane,

and someone's on the left, was in a left turn only lane, and I think they realized it. So they turned their right turn signal on, like to try to merge into my lane because they were going straight as well. And being a courteous lane and I think they realized it. So they turned their right turn signal on, like to try to merge into my lane because they were going straight as well. And being a Curtis driver, I was like, okay, they messed up. They missed the four signs warning

and this was gonna happen back there. But all right, I'm not gonna be an asshole about it. I slowed down a little bit, they were able to get over and we all proceeded going straight. A little down the road, we come up on a light and the light's red. So the card that I let in in front of me is the first card at the light, the light's red and I'm right behind them.

And waiting, the light turns green and I wait and we're not going and I can look and I can see in that guy's review mirror, I see him looking down at his phone doing something. So I get annoyed and normally I give like a quick honk honk if someone's's not going but it's time I just laid into it. I just laid it. I wouldn't let go and I was like I was annoyed right like I let them in to begin with and now they're doing this shit. The guy looks up looks at me makes eye contact in his review mirror and then he starts honking back at me. I was like what are you you're honking at me? You're the one who missed the light. Also, you're, you're, you want to meet?

Did it go through green to red again? No, then after he stopped honking at me, then he finally went. I was like, you start, like you realize it was green, didn't even go, took the time to honk at me, and then went, like I was so fucking mad. I don't know if you're the same way as me in terms of being a driver. Gavin, you can't relate yet because you're not driver, you're not driver yet, but some

day you'll relate to this. But if I'm in a position where I fuck up when I'm driving and like, for example, I'm in the left and only land, I'm like, shit, I actually have to go straight and someone lets me in. I am so fucking focused now on not pissing anyone off, especially the person who let me in. So I'm like hyper focused. I mean, I'm always hyper focused now on not pissing anyone off, especially the person who let me in. So I'm like hyper focused, I mean, I'm always hyper focused on driving,

but like extra courteous, extra paying attention, especially that person let me in, and I fuck up again, I'm not gonna hog it then. Like what the fuck? I was, yeah, I was mad, I was so mad. When did that happen? How did everyone who's in a car just start acting the same way? It would never happen outside of a car.

Like if you're in line with Donalds and the guy was looking at his phone, you wouldn't ever go, Hey, he would just stand there and go, I just wouldn't happen. But I would go, Hey, you're next. They go over there. I mean, I've had that happen before in, you know, in a line at a fast food place. You put in yellow to him though. You'd probably tap him on the shoulder and be like, excuse me, I think you're next.

I would definitely wouldn't say excuse me. I would say, hey, go over there. I'm fucking dumb dumb. Fuck you dumb dumb. So annoying. I think people also are just like, I don't know what it is, because anytime I have to drive somewhere,

I feel like everyone is less patient, less courteous, just fucking dickheads when I drive around anywhere now. And I don't know if it's like, because people aren't driving as much because of the pandemic, or if people are just on edge because of the world and politics and everything like that, but it is not fun to drive. It's always bad in Austin in general. I think it's because so many people, so many new people are always moving here, that there's always, and then also a couple

that with the university where there's a bunch of like young people who are also moving here, there's a lot of people driving on the roads in Austin for the first time, or who have not driven very much on the road. So it's like, I've lived here for almost 23 years now. Like I know which lanes are gonna end, like which lanes you need to turn.

Like I've been here long enough, or it's second nature for me. And I forget that there's a lot of people experiencing those roads for the first time and don't realize it. It's also such a mix of different types of drivers in this city because you have people from LA, people from New York, people from other places in Texas. So it's just like a big group of people who have different driving styles, I guess. Like at least if you're in New York, you got New York drivers, you know what you're getting into everyone's kind of aggressive and the same.

And if like you're in a small town, Texas, people are a little like maybe slow move and stuff like that, but Austin is like a combination of all the shitty drivers in one place. Yeah, it's like a wonderful melting pot of shitty drivers from all over the country. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah, and we see it all the time.

It's very, very frustrating. Gavin can't wait to drive, can you? We're getting there. I mean, we have self-driving cars here relatively soon. You'll probably get one of those, right, Gavin? You don't have to drive. Dude, if it works like it doesn't cyberpunk, I think that'd be wicked. No, I definitely don't want to drive. Dude, if it works like it does in Cyberpunk, I think that'd be wicked.

No, I definitely don't want to drive. It's like the way it works in Cyberpunk. That just comes to you. Could you have it drive you when you're in it? I've just driven myself in Cyberpunk. But you can summon it. Yeah, you can skip the driving portion. That game, it's got some issues.

I've heard it. I had a thing last night where I was yesterday, I was playing Cyberpunk and I came to a scene where I was meeting a guy in the back of a butcher shop, right? And I walk in and he's like, he's got his back to, well, he leads me into the back of the butcher shop and he's got his back to me and he's like looking at the counter. And then my character has some dialogue about how he thought chickens were illegal or something. I'm like, the fuck is he talking about? There's no chickens here.

And I look at the counter in front of the guy and I realize like, after the sight of him, there's the head of a chicken, just the head. Nothing else. It's like laying on the counter. I'm like, that's where the chicken head just right there. And then the guy that I'm talking to says something about the chicken and then he pulls up a cleaver. And then as he's swinging the cleaver down,

the head disappears and a chicken appears on the counter in front of him. And he cuts the head of the chicken off and the newly decapitated head rolls over to the spot where the head of the chicken was earlier. What? Yeah, I feel like. So I should perhaps it by saying, I'm playing on PC. So I'm not, I guess I'm not experiencing a lot of the issues that was it previous gen console?

What's the, what's the people complaining about? Is it the Xbox one and PS4 version? Yeah, Xbox and PS4. So I've not touched either of those versions, as I should say that, but it is glitch central. Not enough to ruin the game for me, but just to really ruin some moments, like there was quite emotional scene in the back of a car where someone had to pull, this is spoiler free, someone pulled a chip out of their head, gave it to me. But the chip, like the model got swapped to a gun. So as he was about to pull it out, a gun appeared through his head, a pistol, just like

stick it out the side of his head, like the trigger was here, the barrel was sticking out. And I was like, what the hell? And then he just reached into his head to pull the chip out. And he hands me a gun. I take the gun and put it in my head. And I was like, well, it's going on. It was so goofy. Look, and I wish I'd recorded it.

Yeah, there's a, it's a lot of, it took me out of the moment. There's a lot of strange glitches like that. Like I was in another, I was in a conversation with an NPC who was smoking. And then like as he's holding the cigarette, all of a sudden, there's just a cigarette floating in the air. Like he still has a cigarette in his hand, but like the remnant of where it was a few seconds ago is just floating in the air.

And I'm like, why is it's just sitting there? Like the one that's floating in the air is not lit, but the one in his hand is lit. I was like, I wonder if I move my camera if it'll go away. So I move the camera just look a little to the right and then it disappeared. Yeah, there's a ton of stuff that I would have assumed

would have been noticed and fixed. Like sometimes I get a hint come up and I would just get stuck there for like half an hour, even if I pause, it's like over the pause menu. It's like, how is that on a release game? I feel like it's also difficult to find the zone where you have to like engage with someone to get the talk dialogues like sometimes I look at someone like weird hit X to talk to them. Then it won't pop up and I have to like look away and look back it's like okay now I can hit X to talk to I'm playing on series X.

How many times three times. It was supposed to come out I think like in March or April of the year initially yeah Yeah. The first straight thing is you can see that it's a decent game under that. Like it. Yeah. I've done some missions that I thought were amazing, but it's definitely missing something like it doesn't feel like the living, breathing world that I was expecting. It doesn't feel like GTA 5 where you're walking around. You actually feel like people are doing stuff. I honestly feel like quite detached from the world, even though it looks very nice. However, I still don't think ray tracing

is worth the performance hit. Like it looks so good, but the game also looks good without that. So I feel like dropping 20, 30 frames just to have that on isn't ever worth it for me. Yeah. Also, I can't get HDR to work at all. I don't know if it's broken or what, but every time I turn on HDR and I like raise the

peak brightness to what my display is, it like brings up all the blacks as well. So it looks really mucky and gray and I can't figure out how to get actual HDR and not just slide the dynamic range up and down as a lump, you know what I mean? Yeah, so it's like it's like almost like adjusting brightness instead of an HDR like. Yeah, I don't know what it's doing. I turn off HDR and it looks much better, like much deeper blacks, just it's dimmer. Yeah, the HDR calibration and the console version of that game I didn't think was very good. Like when you go into the settings and you calibrate, like flips between two different images to show you what you're doing to the screen, but it's like I feel like. What I'm changing has no effect really on them. It doesn't yeah, it's not helpful that it switches between two images to me.

I'm just like tweaking. I'm like wait for a bit. And you guys said you were both playing on the PC. I'm on the Xbox series X. Okay. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. But I'm excited. I might just hold off for a little bit, wait for some patches. Cause I think it's going to be good. Have you guys been able to get the PS5, by the way? No, I really want one. Did you get? God, what is terrible. This is the first PlayStation console since the original PlayStation that I won't have it launched. Like I bought a PS2 at launch,

I bought a PS3 like a week after launch, PS4 at launch and PS5, I just, I've not had any luck. I just, it's so sad seeing people fall for things on eBay. Like I've seen a couple listings of people selling just the PlayStation 5 box and like they're very clear that it's the box and it's going for like $405, $600. They could do in that every generation. I know. I know. I see where they're not scamming. Like what Barbara's talking about. Like they're very clear in the description. Like it's just the box,

box only. And it's people are still like, they're not reading. Like in the title, it'll say PS5 box only and then in the description, like you are not getting the actual console. This is just the box. And it'll be hundreds of dollars. Do you think that buying the box so they can scam other people by not saying that it's the box? Like they may be. Maybe I just, I feel bad because you know, like, I could only imagine there's people buying those who are like parents or grandparents trying to get their

kid or grand kid a present for Christmas. and they're like, I found the PlayStation I'm gonna buy it and it's just the fucking box. Those are the people probably getting scammed and it just, it hurts my heart because everyone starts to do something nice for Christmas or the holidays. I'll try, I think I'll try and get a PS5 at some point but there's nothing I'm desperate to play on it yet. I feel like it's still, yeah, but I'm still like, I'm still working on the Xbox stuff. PC things. Yeah.

I finally finished, I finally finished Gears Tactics, which you had talked about a couple weeks ago, Gavin. It's a good game. Yeah. I had a couple of bugs in that game, but I'm not going to complain about those anymore after playing cyberpunk for six hours or so. I'm never going to complain about a bug in another game again. I did you.

So the bit I was got stuck on was the corpse a fight. Did you get? Did you find that difficult? Do you or did I just pick a really shitty team? You must have picked a shitty team. I passed out my first first attempt. It was tough. It was tough.

It was tough. It was like 12, but I did pass it. The war step on my dudes. The last boss fight was kind of difficult. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough. It was, I see how much you went for. That auction was supposed to end Sunday night. And there were, actually, there were like 170, I think, that I was really interested in, but there's nowhere I was going to buy that many. So I started looking, I started keeping tabs on a few that I really wanted, but they all ended up going for way more than I wanted to spend. So I didn't end up buying any, but they got a lot of money from it. That die hard when it went for $775, by the way. Oh, deserved.

So that auction was cool poster. That auction was supposed to end on Sunday night. But when I went, when I started going in to see like place bids and see, you know, how my actions were doing, like the site just became unresponsive. Like 45 minutes before the auction ended, I couldn't get in anymore. It was just like locking up. Yeah, so they had to extend all of the auctions 24 hours. They extended them all today instead

because I guess there was so much traffic on their website that they just weren't able to handle it. It was like, it's like, it's like, it's very good. I was like, it's like, when I say like almost 2,300 posters, then we're all ending I think one every three seconds. They were ending within three seconds of each other. So it's a bunch when I say like almost 2,300 posters, then we're all ending, I think, one every three seconds. They were ending within three seconds of each other. So it's a bunch of people going in to get like last-minute bids in.

It's like, you're dealing with a ton of people refreshing on a ton of different items. It's got to be a nightmare to try to serve. I'm just thinking of like someone who has been in a bidding war for something with someone, and then all of a sudden they're like, okay, there's only like two minutes left, like three, two, one, crash. And they're like, we're gonna add another 24 hours to this now.

Yeah, there was one poster that I was, I really wanted. I was bidding quite a bit on it. And then it just went crazy. Like I looked, they ended the auction today. The one I wanted ended at 255 so I'm not paying $255 for a poster So you just I won't it is what it is, but I'm hopefully they raised a lot of money for the draft house Yes, for sure. We love the draft house big part of us. Yeah

Yeah, I started watching the the um, the Lord of the Rings on 4K. Extended versions, which I was very long. Watch fellowship. It was like three hours, 40 minutes or something. It looks good, man. It's a really good 4K remastering, I guess. I think Peter Jackson oversaw the process himself, but somehow held himself back from George Lucas in it

and didn't change any of the shitty stuff. Like, that stuff that hasn't held up well, he just kind of left it. I assume they've done some like denoising of the film grain slightly, which you could say is a slight change, but it looks so good. It looks just, I forgot how good those movies are.

It's funny, you were talking about that, those extended versions. And like I really gave it like last night, I was like, all right, I got to get those. I'm going to watch them maybe this weekend because, but if you watch all three of the extended versions, I want to say it's like 11 hours of movie. Yeah, you got to treat it differently. Like instead of just imagine you're watching an entire season of Game of Thrones. Oh, it's about that. Like, yeah, but you watch it and I mean,

if you take a break every time the disc changes, you'll do it in six sitting. You spread across two discs. She's so long. But yeah, one. It's funny, like the first disc ends around a minute like an hour 40 which some movies are that like and and it's the bit where they're all like gathering around the ring forming the fellowship and they're pretty much all right Let's go That was a movie nothing has happened yet. God. What what a place to end it to or break it at at least. It'd be like the Hobbit movies, right?

Or it's like they just stretch it so far out. I've never seen, I saw one Hobbit movie. I think I saw the middle one. I didn't know what was going on. And I didn't see the others. You know, you could change that. Yeah. Got some time.

They're pretty good. They're pretty fun. I don't know if I would like compare them to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but they're pretty fun. I like the first one. Yeah, look at it. What? I'm sure there's ways to watch it online right? You got to be able to stream it somewhere. Yeah, whatever. I'll look later. Yeah, I've been I so I think I probably going to watch the Lord of the Rings movies again. It's been a while. I'm probably watching this weekend. I've been looking for more things to watch. Like always. I watched that Salina series on Netflix. I don't know if anybody else watched that. No. It's like, it's like part one of the story. So it's only like nine episodes. Yeah, it's nine episodes for part one.

And it comes from like when she's a little girl to win like she's starting to gain popularity and the town I grew up in Makes a small cameo in that in that series where She's performing the concert and basically a riot breaks out and it's like a super dangerous situation and they have to leave and I feel like Like in the in all of the episodes whenever they play concerts They may be like briefly talk about where they're going or where they were. But I feel like they must have really hated my hometown because afterwards they make

it a point to say over and over how dangerous that town was and how they need to get security and they need to rethink all everything that they're doing because the town I grew up in was so dangerous because of all the fighting. Oh man. I was like, they have us have had a really negative memory about it to have reinforced it that much. This episode of the receipt podcast is brought to you by DoorDash.

You know what, I've been watching the shit out of survivor. We randomly started watching, so they have season 20 and 28, I believe, on Netflix. And I was like, you know what, I used to love survivors,

I get, I'm gonna start watching season 20, X, I never saw that one. And I'm like, fuck, I forgot how addictive the show was. And I'm like, God, it's the shame that they only have two seasons on Netflix. I went to a different streaming app, Hulu. And they have all 34 seasons or up to 34 seasons on a one to 34. And I'm like, well, this is what I'm doing for the rest of quarantine. Just how many years is that? It's, I think they do two every year.

That's like four years. 17 years. I think the first season of Survivor was 2001 or 2002? I think it was 2000 actually. And they're still going with it. I think they're up to season 40 now, which would be yeah, 2020 to every year. Man, I'm I'm really happy you told me this bar rip because I've been wanting to rewatch season one as survivor and I thought it was only on CBS all access, but if it's on who I've already got

Hulu. So I can go back and watch it. I don't like the way they craft it's like to me the quintessential reality show. They it's so well done. And the way they hook you, especially now, because you could watch on a streaming service, you have to wait week to week like you would back in the year old times, but the way they do it, where they have a vote at the end, you don't get to see like anyone's reactions

or with the other team things or anything like that. You're like, well, I got it. I got to at least start the next episode to see that. It's so great. I love it. Check got to at least start the next episode to see that. It's so great. I love it. Check it out. So what season should I start with? Oh, it's entry.

What's up there? Hey! We're talking about survivor. I'm back, mini. I think season one was amazing. Like that was, when it came out, I thought it was like a grant. We're talking about survivor.

I don't know if I said that. I know, I got. I'm ready to make peace of television when it came out. I'm excited to go back and watch that. Yeah. Gavin, I would say if you really want to get into it, I would start at season one because if you keep going season by season, there's some seasons that bring back certain contestants or have a best of season where they bring back a contestants or like have like a best of season,

where they bring back like a couple different favorites from previous seasons. So if you're gonna watch it, I would do like sequential or just pick a random one. 28 was a great season if you wanna watch that one. Every time I think of survivor, I always remember, I always think about that 30 rock bit and from like season three called Milf Island.

Oh, it's 13 hot moms, 7 eighth grade boys. Just like a just ridiculous, completely ridiculous bit. I like honestly don't know how they got away with some network content TV, but hey, it's a hysterical, fantastic bit. Milf Island. Fantastic fake show. Wow. That you rock was good. Oh, Eurokas, good.

Oh, so good. Even it's like weakest seasons were better than anything else on TV at the time. Yeah. And I felt like it never really gained traction in the ratings. Like that was never a really highly rated show. It was very critically acclaimed and an amazing show, but it was never like,

number one show in America or anything like that. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. It's what it's like, oh, one thousand Emmys and never cracked, like top five shows. Like, the critics loved it and fans of it absolutely adore it, often meamed, often quoted, but for some reason

didn't gain the cultural purchase or ubiquity of the office or something like that. Yeah, there's there's an episode where Tracy Jordan talks about a project that he had to do I think was a movie called where Wolf bar mitzvah and I think Maybe once a week Yeah, boys becoming men men becoming wolves Maybe maybe the best fake song ever. Well, I mean, it's a real song, but maybe the best best fake songs ever created

specifically for a gag like in a show. Like just absolute, absolute home run. Where will Farm It's a spooky scary? Have you ever heard the whole song? There's a whole, they recorded a whole song. Oh, there is. Oh, yeah. Oh, no, I have it.

Oh, yeah, it was written by, of course it was written by Donald Glover He he wrote it And yeah, he's like on the track. There's like a full like two and a half minute where what bar mitzvah track which is just like full of like references to Jewish tradition and and bar mitzvah's and it's hysterical. It's very good highly recommend go check it out We filmed a video That's gonna come out soon where I sat down with some people from the Ruchit group

and we did some Hanukkah Madlids and I wanted to play a rabbi Barbara character and the whole time I'm Jewish. I just want to say that. I was born from a Jewish family. I grew up Jewish, all that stuff. And the whole time, all of us were like, is this offensive? Yeah, I'm really writing that line. I don't know. We try to be very respectful and learn,

but oh, man, yeah, it was a lot of hitscrackers. So I think that video is going to come out on social at some point this week, but I'm playing Rabbi Barbara. I'm teaching my friends the story of Hanukkah and it was very fun. Teaching them about Hanukkah, why not? Come on. Speaking of videos we filmed, I feel like we need to give the audience a heads up about something.

Yeah. We should. Andrew, we talked heads up about something. Yeah. We should. Yeah. Andrew, we talked about this right before. Yeah. I don't know. I'm thinking of it. We filmed a video last year before COVID, in the last year, like November. November 2019, to be exact.

Yeah. And that we wanted to release for the holiday season last year, but there was a timing issue and we weren't able to release it. So we put it on the shelf and we thought, we'll just release it holiday 2020. And that video's coming out Wednesday. And tomorrow. It's coming out this week.

Oh, it's coming out tomorrow. And this past Saturday, SNL did a skit that's pretty much exactly the same thing. It is me, no joke. Beat for fucking beat. I don't know how would happen. I don't know how it happened. I don't know if there is a spy in our midst, but I swear to God, it was terrifying to see,

because it's literally the same skit, and we're putting it up tomorrow. And it just been sound it for a year. Yeah. Yeah, because it's a holiday, like it didn't work out timing wise, and but it's a holiday short. So it's like, we can't really,

we can't release this like in January, when we're making these sets. So it's like, we can't really like, we can't release this in January when we make any sense. So it's like, well, perfect, we'll shelve it for a year. It'll still be good. It's got a, no, it feels evergreen to us. So it's like, fantastic. That just means in December of next year, we won't have to think of a thing to put out. It's just one piece of content.

We won't have to worry about next holiday season. Bap, bap, bap. Yeah. It's also like, yeah, we wanted to save to worry about next holiday season. It's also like, yeah, I mean, we wanted to save it because, especially during the holidays, like people want to take time off. So our editorial team, like, has a lot of stuff to do. So if we have a video that we already have in the can to release, it's like, great. That's bonus content, essentially, for us.

Exactly. And then over the weekend, I guess, was it Sunday morning that you messaged Sunday morning, blame Sunday morning, blame, like, dropped it in the slack, I guess. Was it Sunday morning that you messaged? Sunday morning blane, Sunday morning blane, like dropped it in the slack, a weekend slack, so you know it's serious. It was like, was just like the link to the skit with rut row. Or like, I played it.

And like, first of all, I like saw from the title of the video in the slack, I was like, Mom, the dirt. Good luck. I just, so I played it and I was expecting like, oh, it's just kind of the video in the Slack, I was like, Manda there. Good luck. Good luck. So I played it and I was expecting like, oh, it's just kind of the same premise. And then it starts playing and I'm like,

this is like, again, like Barbara said, beat for beat the same, it has like the same cadence and kind of moments. Granted, I think ours is funnier. I think it escalates to a funnier place and like gets more, you know, wacky. It's a little bit more, you know, goes to 11, but this like, but it really was just like, Oh, and now this other character is entering at the exact same time or character enter. Oh my god.

There's even like the guy and it does the same pose at one point that Blaine does in it and it's just like I Did we have someone who works on it who left and then move when his Bernie Yeah, we use Bernie's drone for some of the shots in it. Yeah So he he may, he's the spy. Maybe he's the spy. He's the, he's the mole.

I, it was just one of those things where it's like, I like, I expect it when I saw the title, I expect it. It's like, oh, I mean, man, it's probably a little similar. And then when I like watched it, I was like, okay, well, shit. Like, well, but you know what, it's always, it's scary to sit on stuff. Like that happened with an old million dollars butt

where we filmed it for Christmas, but for some reason missed Christmas with it. So we put it out the following Christmas. I think it was you me and Blaine, Barbara. Yeah, it was, yeah. But for some reason it just didn't come out of Christmas and then came out a year later, but I don't think I didn't really notice.

Yeah, we had an issue that we ran into that, we just couldn't release it in time and it would have been ready by early January, but at that point it makes no sense. So we were just like, we'll just hold it for next December. What could go wrong? What could go wrong? It makes me mad because we were talking about release dates for the short and we're like, oh well, you know, it's about Christmas and something for Christmas shopping. So maybe we'll put it out like right at the beginning

of December and we're like, and now we'll hold it for mid-December, just so it's like right in the middle of things and stuff like that. God, I wish we put it out. Sweet. But I guess the reason we're giving everyone a heads up is like, so nobody nobody like first of all

It would be impossible to rip it off right like even if they aired it Saturday night And we woke up Sunday morning be like we're gonna make the exact same thing I don't know if we could put it together fast enough to put it out You know Everyone to the sketch minds like no, we know there's no We weren't I like to sit on content for a long time, especially like behind the scenes of achievement on a stuff, let's sit on it for a few years and then put it out.

But it's always stuff that I know that no one else will make. Like SNL is not gonna make the making of Garbo Man. You know, I think that's pretty safe within achievement on a, so you can just sit on it. If you never know, no. Yeah. Musical guest Garbo Man.

Garbo Man. What? Awesome. So if you guys, if you guys see our short tomorrow, give it some love and just know that we're not ribbing off SNL and if anything, there's somebody working behind the scenes who probably still are idea and they should be shamed. I should be shamed. Actuizations. I will, but yeah, yeah, we're letting fly with accusations. who probably still are idea and they should be shamed. That should be a challenge. Accusations. Yeah, we're letting fly with accusations. I will say, we made it last year and then a worldwide pandemic happened.

So I totally forgot about it until it was approaching and then we started talking about doing it again, or releasing it. And when they, editorial sent out the link to watch it again, I watched it and I was like, man, it still makes me laugh. There's a bit, there's a bit in it that blame does something very physical toward the end. He throws something and I like still cracks me up. So I still enjoy it. It's very fun.

So I hope you all, I hope you enjoy it. Yeah, I think people will still enjoy it. Just had to put that out there so that everyone's aware. Yeah. So I had something strange happening to me the other day. And I got to give a little bit of backstory for Andrew, because he probably didn't hear the beginning part of the story, but I think Gavin and Barbara have.

So a couple of weeks ago, maybe a couple of months ago, at this point, sitting in the living room with my wife, and she turns to me, she says, there's a bee under the coffee table. And I look, and there's like a small letter B on our rug under the coffee table. Which I know this sounds confusing, but trust me, just stick with me. There's a small letter B on the floor under the coffee table. And so I pick it up and I think, oh, that's weird and throw it away. Then a couple of weeks later, from the kitchen, she calls me home, she's like,

look, she points at the floor and I look, and there's a small letter N on the floor. And it's the same font, same size as the letter B that we found weeks before that. What's the material? That's really strange. It's almost like a rubber. It's soft, yeah, you can fold it and it doesn't bend. It's not plastic. That's really strange. It's almost like a rubber. It's soft. Yeah, you can fold it and it doesn't bend. It's not plastic. That's really weird. So the B I threw away, I didn't think anything about it.

The end I took a photo of because I was like, okay, that's weird. Friday night, we were both standing in the kitchen and I put something down on the floor and right next to where I put down the thing on the floor, we looked and there was a letter S and we both screamed like we were both terrified. I have a little image here. This is the end and the S next to the logo on my laptop for a size comparison. So that's the way you found them. Okay. That's where I found them.

I just put them there to see that they're essentially from the same thing, clearly. I am very glad. I am very glad that there are pictures of this. Be there some evidence because this, there's some evidence, because this 100% sounds like one of those like really, really long stories that has like a punchline, like it's one of those long jokes that goes on for like eight minutes, and then you have, there's like a punchline to it, and everyone here goes, you mother fuck like they get the super pissed.

Yeah, no, good. So in S on the floor, got it. And S, we screamed, we still have no idea where these letters are coming from. So we think that there's some kind of spirit that's maybe trying to talk to us and it's spelling something really slowly. So maybe we have to unscramble these words. Yeah, what do you think that's going to be beans? Beans. Beans. Be in an S. Okay. It's going to be like you must have like a rubber mat or something that has letters in that you didn't realize it. You're stepping on them and it's lifting the letters out. What is it? What is happening? But here's the problem. So we don't wear shoes in the house. And the

B was in the living room under the coffee table. And the end and the S were both in the kitchen, but on opposite ends. I mean, guys, they're relatively maybe 10 feet apart from each other on the floor. I know, it's been in your house. Like, you haven't had like work done in there. No. No. I just have like something delivered to your house that might have had better. I mean, the B was found at this point two and a half months ago, maybe. And the S was just found on Friday. And you guys are playing people. Sorry. No, no board game.

Oh, this is something so boring, but I can't imagine what it would be. Okay, I'm, I'm now just like it's, it's, it's so, you haven't solved this mystery. Like this is an ongoing mystery. Right. I have to update everyone. like it's it's so the you haven't solved this mystery like this is ongoing mystery right I have to update everyone. I talked about the B in the end. So I had to update everyone with the S Okay, this is this is now like legitimate like this is I'm like fully invested I want to find out what the and you're absolutely right yet It's gonna be like the most mundane like like oh, you know some Yeah, something you dragged something in,

like something, it was like stuck to something you bought on groceries or something. But the problem is that, you know, everything gets vacuumed and cleaned very regularly around here, so it's weird that weeks between finding them. Right, it's not like it's been there the whole time and we just noticed it, like it wouldn't be there. It would have been vacuumed up, it would have been cleaned.

Have you checked your shoes? That's what I asked. But we don't wear our shoes inside. Like, they get taken off at the door. Oh. Have you checked the vacuum to make sure that it's not lettering coming off of your vacuum? It could be to be very fun.

It could be to be very fun. I have a vacuum. I guess I could check the vacuum. But do you have a, Gus, let me ask you something very serious. And I mean, you don't have to answer your don't talk. Do you have a M let me ask you something very serious and I mean you don't have to answer you don't talk do you have a Muppet infestation? Because they could be trying to they could be trying to teach you something. Oh, I don't know what has that lettering on it. I can't even imagine.

I think I give you a little reference again. Have you hold it did you ever see sorry that just madeola, did you ever see, sorry, that just made me think, did you ever see there's an old, the sketch group, the state? Do you remember the state? Yeah, I remember the state. Like mid, mid, mid late 90s sketch group. Um, they had, they had an old sketch called Mupp speaking of, they had Mupp and Hunting.

And it's like this, it's, it's, it starts the sketch, this like group of the, you knowuppet hunting. And it's like this, it starts the sketch, this like group of the, you know, two couples are sitting down to like eat, they're having like little couples, like, you know, couples dinner. And I was like, oh, this meat is so tender, it's, but I've never tasted anything like it's like, oh yeah, it's Muppet.

It's like, I'm sorry, Muppet. It's like, yeah, we're Muppet hunters. We've been, we've been hunting Muppet. And let me tell you, their meat is so delicious. Like, how do you hunt a Muppet? Oh, it's really easy. I like the husband goes over to the window I wish somebody would teach me about the letter B and then a puppet pops up. Well, I can't you and you just Classic oh, Vienna we should make that into an R2 short Classic. Oh, B and S.

Good stuff. We should make that into an R2 short. B and S. Someone in chat that it sounds like it could be a discount code for the Roostery store, which it's not, but that does remind me today's the last full day to order things from the store if you want to get in time for Christmas. Yep, you can sit it. There's 30% off.

30% off, too, yeah. So go down to advantage of that Yeah, if you consider that your wife may be screwing with you I would have and I thought about it because she found the B as she pointed out the end But the S we found at the same time and her reaction our her reaction of horror like mine was too genuine I of horror like mine was too genuine. Eek. I am frightened. I am frightened. I bet I wish I had footage of both you screaming.

I bet it's adorable. Like, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,

ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, coming off your, yeah, like your vacuum or something your vacuum picked up and then is dispersing somewhere because what brand has BNS in the name? Snorub. I like the way Snorub thinks. Do you think Bernie's pranking you and he's just trying to spell out his name? I just said people to chat if it burns. You have yet to find the you and the are right because he did that. He conspired with one of my friends, Britta, many years ago at Gus and Gavin.

You might remember this, but my friend, Britta and I used to prank each other by hiding troll dolls in places. And so she shipped him a bunch of troll dolls and he would hide them around the R.T. office and like in my space and all my desk and stuff like that. And I had no idea for probably like six or seven months who was doing it. So I wouldn't put it past him to be fucking with you in this. I mean, he could, we. In chat here who is this Lulu Domenari says, I've had a similar thing happen to me.

I had little letters popping up all over the place. Turns out it was my core-seer headset and the logo letters were falling off. So, oh, maybe what do you have some fancy bang and o'lifson? No, I definitely didn't. They've got those less. What brands have been at? They look, it looks familiar though.

Like that material and size and font looks familiar and I can't place it. People are saying backwards. No, but it was a... No, but it was a... But it was a capital. Yeah. So weird. All right, anyway, there's no resolution to this. I'm just posing it out there. Something that happened. Think about it. Let me know if you can think of any posing it out there, something that happened. Think about it. Let me know if you can think of any possibilities.

Uh, yeah, shout out to whoever remastered the unsolved mysteries, uh, song, the theme song for the Netflix series.

Yeah. They turned it into like something dark and serious like before we're just kind of like, all right, it's the Unself Mystery theme. Now it's like when that theme song comes out, it's like, oh, this is scary. Yeah, no, it's creepy. Have you watched it? Have you watched the news?

I think there's two seasons of it. Yeah, I've seen all of them. The first season's really good. And because like a couple of the mysteries on the Unself Mysteries, the titular Unself Mysteries from the first season are like truly spooky. Like I'm like, okay, I don't have any idea like what happened here, how this like occurred

or what the like solution could be. The second season's a little different where it's like, okay, this is unsolved but the boyfriend totally did it. Like you know what I mean? Like it's like they haven't arrested the person they think's involved, but we're pretty sure it's this person. There was one where it's like, this prisoner escaped from prison.

We gave him money and regular clothes to go shopping out of mall and he never came back. Like, look at him, he just left. Like, you can just, you can just, just be in the money and close and you walked away. Yeah, exactly. Man, wasn't that, sorry, wasn't that insane. That story that they're like, oh yeah, back in the 70s,

we used to let prisoners, like prisoners wanted, or that were arrested for murder and rape, we used to let them, for good behavior, we give them money and let them go shopping in public. It's like, and they're in maximum security prison, but they got like afternoons to go shopping, and then of course, one guy was just like, peace and just like, yeah, we told it. We told him to come back by 2 p.m. when 2 p.m. rolled around and he wasn't here.

We knew we knew he had taken off. Like, of course, of course. And then also it's like, this happened 40 years ago. He'd be 75 or 80 by now. Like, oh, man, the story's to tell your grandkids, but yeah, I'm just someone I got put in prison to let me go shopping and the bid out ever since. It's like, you like, you should go. You're a criminal.

Yeah, and it's like, it's an awful crime. Like, he was like not, it was, it was bad. I think his like, his crimes are like numerous and pretty messed up. I think he murdered a child. It was like, oh my God. We just let him go. Especially to a mall.

Yeah. Yeah, from children everywhere. And they gave him money. It's absolutely bananas. That he was like, that that was like a program. And it really, it was speaking of the Simpsons, really was that we're such a Bob and that guy who eats people's faces. I'm right here, chief. And it really, it was speaking of the Simpsons, really was that's like, where's Sancho Bob and that guy who eats people's faces?

I'm right here, chief. And he like gets on the bus. It's like, well, if anyone sees Sancho Bob, if anyone asks about Sancho Bob, I beat him to death. Like, we're just like, we're just let him go. It's fine. There was, in the town I grew up in, it's a small border town.

A guy broke out of prison once, oh, they're not prison jail. Like, it's a county jail there. And someone broke out of the jail by, there was a contractor who was on site who was, I believe he was painting. And the inmate asked the contractor if you could borrow his truck to go to the convenience store to buy some cigarettes and the contractor gave him the keys and let him drive out and the prisoner took off.

Yeah. That happened. Sometimes you just go to ask. Yeah. Shoot your shot, bro. I just love to like, yeah, I'll give you the keys, but you better stop shifting your eyes back and forth. I'm sorry, I'm not confident.

Mind if I get the keys to go get some cigarettes? If you don't get your fingers. Oh, sorry. Oh, oh, oh. Stop ringing your hands. I'm not going to give you the keys when you're doing this. I thought you'd do make a good point. Very convincing.

I have a space question. If an asteroid plows through the atmosphere, and lands on my property, is it mine? Or do I have to give it to the government? So mineral rights cover the minerals under your property. These are minerals coming from above your property. They're not subject to mineral rights. So I believe that. I believe that you own it. Because I feel like a lot of the stuff that doesn't break up entirely if you have like a lump

that's left over, it's always in some museum. You never really meet someone who's just got one. I feel like they're always handed over for study. But maybe that's because they land in public. They're not on priority. Or maybe just because people want to be like contributing to society and research and cool things like that. And I don't want to keep it for themselves. You got something to get people hogging asteroids. Plenty of them. Bob Brad there's loads of them.

So it's illegal. Get it. It's illegal. So according to meteorite market, I mean, if you find a meteorite on your land, the meteorite is yours. That's cool. That means Superman was legally the property of Kent, the Kent family. He landed. He was already adopted. Like, yeah, exactly. It was done on it.

Yeah, it's like, just don't need this anymore. Paperwork. Someone, someone, someone in chat, you asked if it's also littering Gavin. If the astro, yeah, space can lit. Oh, like if the universe littered on your property, it's what you're gonna find. I feel like you probably wouldn't want it to land on your property. There's things pack a punch, bad.

You know, yeah, people have survived getting hit by them. There's like that famous story of I think it was a woman who was taking a nap on her couch and while she was napping Meteorite burst in through her roof and hit her Like bruise up a leg really bad or something She's lucky was just that You don't have to say the roof it didn't come in through the door or the side As soon as I could have come in on a sideish angle

I guess the atmosphere would slow it down enough that it would just drop it had a really maybe a really tall house and it came in through the side But I just like a meteor which came in through the floor. I don't know how Really weird came through the pipes. I saw it on my ring doorbell and then I I saw it on my ring doorbell and then I said, oh, but I still broke it playing. Ring, boom. Not like we get the video, just a meteor hovering there, I'm fire. Oh, let me open it up. If you were playing baseball and you were sort of ready

to catch a ball, but instead you saw an asteroid coming. Would you switch and go for that instead, do you think? No, if it wasn't like ball sized. I can't imagine how for that instead, do you think? No, god knows like ball sized. I can't imagine how fast that thing would be coming in. I'm not going to try to catch that. And how hot it would be. Probably pretty hot. Yeah, like that one that one that was caught on all those dash cams was it in Russia,

Russia, Russia, of course, it was. And it looked really nice. It's like, oh, it's coming across. But then it because it was so high up, people thought it was. And it looked really nice. It's like, ooh, it's coming across. But then, because it was so high up, people thought it was over. But then the shockwave of it coming through the atmosphere, like pull it out a bunch of windows and like hundreds of people got injured.

Yeah. And that, and that, and that, and that, and that asteroid was only like the size of like a car. Like it was not like super big. Like, or even it would anybody been smaller than that. It might have been like the size of like a bean bag, bean bag chair or something. It wasn't, it wasn't.

Which is how I, the thing I use for all my measurements. I like the use of measurements that are just difficult to, like, it's about the size of a palette of sandwiches. It's like, oh, that's not really, it's a standard. That's yeah, there's no, it's a metric of sandwiches. It's like, oh, that's not really a standard. That's, yeah, it's that metric of as metric sandwiches. You psych a bet. Have you ever seen that thing that says,

like, the human mind and the human body are so incredible that like, you could look at something. And even though you've never liked it, you would know exactly what it would feel like and taste like to like that object. Yeah. I don't know what you've done like and taste like to like that object. Yeah. I don't know if I've done it before though, isn't it? Not.

Like if I look at this fuck, okay, I got hair all over it. If I look at this hair brush, I have to take my hair off of it. Like I've never liked this hair brush, but I know exactly what it would feel like and taste like to like this. Yeah, but you have lick to have brush. When?

Not this one, I have a licking hair brush. I keep that over there. You're saying it's a kid, you have a lick to have brush. No. It's just like when I look at my dick, I know what it would taste like to lick it. I know, barb, all giving shit aside, I completely agree with you.

I think that's like a mild form of like synesthesia like where you can look at something. I think so because I have the same phenomenon. I'm like, I can, like sometimes I'll be like, just kind of staring off into space or like just like zoning out and looking at something and I begin to taste or like, taste and texturally feel that taste and texture in my mouth.

And I think that's a mild form of synesthesia. They're like, I just don't, I didn't know that was an uncommon thing. Like I could literally look at any object in my room right now. And I would know exactly what it would feel like on my tongue. Yeah, me too. I feel, it's easy, but I don't think I could do taste. Isn't taste just a very specialized kind of feeling

I Guess like if you showed me if you showed me a dog shit I can imagine what it feel like I have no idea what dog shit tastes like But you smelled it right so I mean you never like dog shit as a baby Gavin I mean smell smell is different to taste. You could associate smells with taste, but if I've never tasted the thing, now I, metallic, nutty, bitter, disgusting. I can like, I can, I can, like,

I think my mind could approximate it. Yeah. I don't wanna live that. I don't wanna think about mind could approximate it. Yeah. I don't want to live that. I don't want to think about it for too long. But you shit or drinking wine. That was so so detailed. Metallic. Oh, really notes of a kibble and a nutty. Bitten. Like you would know exactly what it would taste like to lick like a metal handle somewhere. It's that like kind of like. I'm getting it. Yeah, but I think that's just because I've licked metal before. I think once I've learned what metal tastes like, you apply it to all things metal, jobs are good and that's a ton of metal in your life.

Different metal tastes different, doesn't it? Yeah, aluminum tastes different than steel or iron or something because there's different like actual like mineral content that like makes up the thing and your brain can definitely differentiate between that. You're turned into metal taste, the taste of metal, the non-musical metal appreciation podcast. I feel like old taste like. Probably doesn't taste like much because it's not reactive, right? It right so very stable Yeah, element so imagine you go say you got some metal that Barbara

Gavin's gone. All right. I got a little platter here. The variant. Things you could like and taste. That is tastings. Yeah, got all these different. Oh my god, We could try.

Is that tungsten there at the end? Oh my goodness. I'm struggling to hold it because a tungsten is bloody heavy. That's you've got a flight. You have a metal flight. I think when it's down, it's killing me though. Like, should you lick magnesium? Probably not.

Is that pure magnesium, is it? What? How heavy is it? What? How heavy is it? Is it pretty light? Magnesium should be pretty light, right? Yeah, it's light as balls. Oh, this one doesn't piss about there. Oh, it's not got the thing on the front.

What is it? Oh, yeah, that's, that's a, I want to say that's tungsten. Yeah, tungsten. I know what that would feel like to live you can you can look led No, no gold Let me just snack on these paint chips. Oh It's free 1978 paint chips. I feel compelled to save rough as a quick correction apparently meteorites are cool to only warm by the time they hit the earth.

Okay. Really? Cool to only warm? Yeah. Apparently, since they're so cold in space for eons, they spend such a little time getting warm in the atmosphere that it doesn't have enough time to go into the center in the middle, the part that's left by the time it hits the ground. And people have distorted, coming upon meteorites that have just hit the ground and they'll

be coated with frost briefly, even if they fall like on hot summer days. Whoa, interesting. I guess that makes perfect sense. The rate I was phrased is just like, they're so lonely in space, so cold for you, three ons, just drifting aimlessly. Rutterless, even earth most. Can't warm their cold hearts. Ha ha ha. Hey, I'm sorry, I don't mean to interrupt it, Eric.

Hello. Oh, hey, it's the guy who screwed up the graphic earlier, Eric. Oh, don't worry, Andrew was late. Can you believe how late Andrew was in space? Can't, so is Gavin gonna lick the medals or is he not? Because we got them all over here and then showed them off and then didn't. I just felt like kind of, I don't know, you know, blue balls was like the term

necessarily for it, but I was just, I just felt like I changed with tungsten and all of a sudden they were gone. Look, Eric, it was a bit of a blue-bossing and you would think I perfectly sculpted that conversation so I could pull out my flight of metals, but I don't really feel like licking any of them. What about just one of them? Could you just lick one of them? Yeah, but I don't know, like, what if I get some sort of

tetanus or something? But you're already touching them, so I don't understand how licking them is going to cause an issue. I already know. Licking them is my mouth. It makes the back of my jaw tingle thinking about that. Yeah, me too. I'm having these exams since I've just

like everything in my human nature, Eric, everything that I've learned in this existence. It is something subconscious in me saying, don't lick the blocks of metal. Do you want to know what I just googled? There's something subconscious in me saying don't lick the blocks of metal. I should listen to it. Do you know what I just Googled? I just Googled is tungsten delicious. Wow.

Is the answer yes? We will find out now by watching the Reaster Teeth podcast. Eric, you wouldn't be over here licking my metal. What would you if you would absolutely be licking those guys those guys are taking a page right out of my fanfic I would be in my mouth like a gobshopper right now like Oh wait wait wait wait Pure tungsten can be a hazard, but tungsten jewelry if it's jewelry grade tungsten. It's completely safe But if it's raw tungsten, pure tungsten, it can be hazardous.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Can we get some jewelry grade tungsten for the table? Thank you. I guess there's probably cobalt in pure tungsten or not pure in raw tungsten. But if it's jewelry grade, it's cobalt-free. So that's what actually gets you sick. Okay. So of my seven blocks, which is the safest to lick? I would think things to the right-hand side of the periodic table. Was it tungsten over there? We've got magnesium, aluminium, Ti, what's that titanium? Fe, iron, copper, zinc, and tungsten. I, sorry, in the like cartoon version

of this, it pans across all those metals, and there is aluminum, and right next to it is aluminum. They have to one for the British pronunciation and one for the American. Is Fee, iron or s, my is there is there an element this NT To go with this one no, no there is no Okay, oh you could do you could do nitrogen and titanium and have it be country Yeah, let me get a block of nitrogen. Yeah How cold with the room have to be? Wasn't remember there was a there was a fake ad campaign for the northern

territory of Australia that someone had made and posted online. That would just said, uh, see you in T, like see you in northern territory, but it was the letter C, the letter U, N T. See you next Tuesday is a popular love phrase people say for that. Oh somebody in the chat pointed out that I am drinking up a cup of mud. You are. Lick it. Although I think it's stainless steel.

Yeah, lick it. Father. Okay, I'll lick this one. Are you ready, Eric? You got your balls ready? Got you. I don't want to get your balls ready. Oh, my balls are prepared. By all means, please lick the cube for my entertainment.

I hate it. Yeah. Is it exactly how your brain pictured it would taste and feel? You really taste like anything to be honest. That's disappointing. That was a different round. Let me pull out all of my tongue to cleanse honest. That's disappointing. That was a two-letter round. Let me pull out all of my tongue to cleanse it. Out of your clever mud.

Well, that was, all right, well, now we know copper doesn't taste like much of anything. How many more blocks? How much would it go? Why did you buy those? Where did you get those from? We can't be asked over that. What are those? It's cool. Is it like just like a paperweight kind

of thing? I just wanted some stuff from my, it was ages ago, it was years ago. I just wanted some little desk toys. I thought that's a physical representation. I think I saw it on Instagram or something. One of those crappy, I don't even know if it's real. They could not be those elements. Well, I've not tested them. You take them to the lab. You said the tungsten was heavy and the magnesium was light, so I mean, there may be. And I'm sorry, is there a gold one on there because I guarantee you you don't have like,

unless that's that set cost like $900, you don't have. No, that's why I was asking. I was asking gold. I would actually be cool to, if I just don't know the value, I don't have any gold, I don't have like that's why I was asking gold. Yeah, I would actually be cool to if I just don't know the value I don't have any gold I don't have the value of gold. I assume gold of This size would be thousands of dollars. They'd be very expensive Yeah, I mean, but most like if if it was gold pure gold of like that size It would like crumble and like fall apart because gold is incredibly soft metal, which is why it's like

Usually like it's cut. They step on it. I'm using street drug terms. Oh, yeah, most gold is stepped on two or three, four times before it sees an enjoy. So it's mixed with like, the gold pickaxe in Minecraft. It doesn't mind very much. God damn it. No, just kidding. I mean, we could measure it and find the dimensions and figure out the value of gold of this size.

Go ahead. Oh, I won, I won inch by one inch. Is it what? And let me, let me get a ruler. Imagine it's an inch by inch that cue. One ounce of gold is $1,800. Whoa. One ounce.

Yeah. So, I can't imagine how much I know how said it is. Yeah, that's just shy of an inch. No, it is an inch. Yeah. It's an inch by inch. Yeah. Inch cubed. Inch cubed of gold. How many ounces is an inch cubed? Of gold. Okay, so one inch, one cubic inch of gold weighs 0.7 pounds. So that's 0.7 times 16. That's 11.2 ounces.

That's 11.2 times 1800. That would be $20,000 of gold worth of gold. What? Gavin, lick the $20,000 of gold worth of gold. What? Gavin, lick the $20,000. He doesn't have a gold one. Yeah. That makes sense. That's way more than I guess.

Yeah, I've just never really understood the value of gold. I mean, we saw that's gone up. Those gold bars, I know this is like not anything to do with reality, but in tenant where he had those gold bricks and how much were they, each of those worth like something crazy. So the fact that one inch by one inch cube would be $20,000 is not surprising to me. A gold bar, like you see like pictures like in Fort Knox,

like a gold bar like that. I want to say those are like $300,000. Something like that. Like a couple hundred thousand, yeah, at least. In a, I find that like gold bars are such a more, I mean, it's outdated, but there's so much more compelling thing for people to steal in movies than like money, than just like, like, like, the piles of cash.

There's something like so, like, it's so much more interesting to like try to get away with stealing a bunch of cash. There's something like so much more interesting to try to get away with stealing a bunch of gold because it's fucking heavy as hell. And it's shiny and glitery. There's like something I'm like, yeah, stealing a bunch of gold. Now we're talking,

I don't know, there's something more romantic about it. Maybe that's what it is. Then just like, when you steal this safe full of money, we don't even go to cash in that gold? I got this gold brick. Where do you go to be like, I want to turn this into money in my bank account now?

Cash for gold. You just mail it in. You can't let it on the bars to cash for gold. Make sure you get insurance on that package. Yeah. We could potentially do a full, like a real tower of pimps for like 80 grand. I think I'd work that out before,

but actually back in the old, uh, tower of pimps days, that'd be that'd be a fancy desk toy, we should sell them in the Ristie store. For 80 grand. But we cannot afford to give them 30% off like we can today at store.ratristie.com. The gobbosale gobbuse, they would actually be worth doing. For God's sake.

Yeah, it's true. 1%, you have a lot of money for that. I forgot to mention, like I said, today's the last day that you'd be able to buy something and get it shipped in time for Christmas from the store, but you can always get gift cards as well. I believe we have gift cards on there. Yeah, if you don't know what it is. If you just search, there's a search function on the store. You could just always get gift cards as well. I believe we have gift cards on there. If you don't know what it is.

If you just search, there's a search function on the store. You can just search to give cards on it. Give card. Yeah. I meant to throw that out earlier. Just forgot. You get it. I've been.

You get it. So one more thing before we move on, but you could also buy gift cards for first memberships for people as well now. That's like a brand new thing in the store. So if you have a friend who wants first membership, you could buy it for them in the store. Surprise. May I store. Surprise. May I please? There's that I, you know, not to, not to, not to show, but that

funhouse jacket that I did a photoshoot with Wes and I had that like fun house bomb, a new fun house bomber jacket. It's really worth nothing like it's, it's great. I mean, we're nothing like crazy. I wear it like outside. I'm working out on my car. Just like put that thing on. It's great. I love it. And I got it. And you know what? It was great. I've been wearing that thing like crazy. I wear it like outside. I'm working out on my car Just like put that thing on it's great. I love it So and I got it and you know what it was great because like we do like photoshoot sometimes And I let us like keep stuff and I was like Take that home with me if that's okay

And it's it's getting tons of use I really enjoy it fill off the truck right into your closet I want it in such places as outside. Yeah, listen, we're not going very many places. So it's true. I mean, like really, it's like outside to work on my truck or like on on like walk around the block. And now that it's like, we had like that week of like pure perfect brisk walking weather where it was like sunny, sunny, but like a cool cold breeze that would like blow through pretty consistently. Oh, just dream. My absolute dream.

And yeah, that I was rocking that thing. Those entire walks just tremendous fantastic. It's a good jacket. Yeah. What would you you gust? What would you be worth in gold by way? That's a good question. So we said, okay, got a little bit of math here.

You said it was $1800 per ounce. Yeah, so let's say I weigh about 28.80 ounces times 18.00. What's a good ounce? The scale. What weighs an ounce? That's about $5.2 million in gold. If you ever order a quarter pounder from McDonald's, the beef patty is four ounces. So a quarter of a beef patty from a nut. I would be, I just did my calculation, I would be worth in gold $3 million, $686,400.

Wait, what's the condor? Sorry, what's the, how much is it per pound? 1800. Yeah, 1800. It's funny. I typed into Google, I typed 2880 times 1800. And it's asking, if did you mean 2880 by 1800 the resolution? The monitor specs here. Man, it's weird. There's a value on shit that's just buried in the earth. I guess this is what evens do.

They find they dig up shit and sell it. Didn't it wasn't there? Isn't there like some weird stat where if you if you were to melt down all the gold that's ever been mined throughout the history of the world, it wouldn't even feel a swimming pool or something like that. That's right. Yeah. So rare.

That's. Yeah, but that can't be right. It's a pair. I heard that same stat a while ago, but I imagine it's still true. I feel like everything that Goldfinger is trying to steal from Fort Knox would would fill a pool. What did you use the gold for to buy a pool? Speaking of weight, too, all of the gold discovered thus far would fit in a cube that is 28 meters wide on every side. Wow.

28 meters. What's a pool, usually, me to cube. Yeah, 90 feet by 90 by 90 by 90. That means different measure. You would be, you would be so rich, but it'd be really convenient. Like, how would you even start spending that? Give chip off a little bit every day. Cash for gold, send it. Guys, guys, I'm worth $5.8 million in gold.

Damn. So when someone says you're, you know, they're worth the way in gold. That's a really good compliment, because people are heavy. People are valuable. Three point people are heavy. 6, valuable. Three-point people are heavy. Six, eight, six, speaking of them.

At the end of the outsiders, when they said stay golden, pony boy, they were, I mean, wow. Yeah. Oh, there's something different about you. Look closer and tell me gold. I say that way too often. What would be, so what's more valuable than gold? Love.

So wait, okay. Printer ink. I think printer ink might actually be the correct answer. Wait, you think printer ink would be $20,000? What you talking about? Shit. Printer ink cost per ounce. It's more than milk. In 2013, consumer reports found that ink jet ink cost anywhere from $13 to $75 an ounce. So $1,610,000 a gallon. So yeah, you're right. That is a little different, but still quite expensive for what it is. I mean, platinum always comes off the gold in video games. Is that more valuable? And records, yeah. And records.

Weed of boards. It's about $1,000 an ounce. That's close. Platinum. No. I was close. No, platinum. No. I mean, gold's 1800, gold's almost double. What about uranium? Yeah, it's going to be like some artificial element that doesn't exist naturally that can

only be produced. It's like factorial, right? It's like it's going to be something that you can't find. You have to find other things and then process over and over to get the other thing. And that's just going to end up costing the most. Like when you're looking for U238 to power new key reactors in factorial and you gotta be like, it's like churn through tons of U235 to find it.

You're like one every hundred or something. Yeah, it was so rare. I had my single network, I would have alarms go off. Anytime U238 comes up, like I would hear noise. It's like, oh, I found something. I missed that game. That was a fun game. That's a good game.

Yeah. I think, you know, you just, you just like hit on something that's like maybe like a bigger existential point is that just like the only, like the only reason anything has value is because we've all collectively decided it does. Like it's just like gold isn't like useful really for many things. It's not useful, but it's like shiny and we like it. And we've like a scribe value to it. But like on a desert island, I would rather have a chicken is worth more to me than gold

on like if I'm stranded on an island. You know what I mean? So it's like depending on what I'm saying. You're making me want to watch more survivor tonight. Oh, you mentioned survivor earlier. I meant to bring this up. I've been watching the season of the amazing race. Oh, yeah.

And last week, a team got eliminated. And one of the people who was eliminated was so mad that, you know, they had that end of the show banter where they're talking with him and the host is like, you know, so did you enjoy it? And the guy who got eliminated was like, no, I would never do this again. And the host is like, what do you mean? And the enjoy it and the guy who got eliminated was like, no, I would never do this again. And the host is like, what do you mean?

And the guy who got eliminated said, the money means nothing to me. I've already got money. I would rather have paid out a pocket and taken this trip than been on this show. Oh my God. Whoa. Fuck.

I don't know, so I lose her much. Yeah, then this partner was like, he doesn't mean that he's just mad right now. It's okay. Jeez. If you're having money and you don't like, you go on for the experience that I imagine. And to be on a television show and like,

I don't know. So yeah, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was crazy to see. Do you think people like contestants on reality shows like Survivor Amazing Race still get paid even just a little bit from the TV network because they are cast on a show that the network is making money on. Do you think they get like some type of payment? Even if it's a way.

We trust Bernie. We should. I don't know, probably. Hey, Bernie. Oh, someone did you understand. It was gonna talk about head phones. Oh, we're about to wrap up soon though. This fucking stupid ass.

Apple, AirPods, Mac, headphones. How much are they like 500 and how much are they $530? I think they're $550 or like $549 something stupid like like that only an idiot would buy those and I ordered some I Look at those I thought I bet that good. I didn't look nice. I'm not I've got I've got ahead of the ready the reason I ordered them is that I had an Apple gift card for $540 that I hadn't used for it. Oh, get the fuck out of here.

What? It was because I had traded my phone into Apple some time ago and in credit, they gave me $540 in Apple credit and I just had it and I hadn't used it. I mentioned to these headphones which are like $550. I was like, oh, I can basically get these headphones for free. So I ordered them. You turned the phone into headphones. I just just had the fucking thing is.

Who that can be in with? I ordered them the day they went on sale. Like they announced them in the morning or whatever. I ordered them like at 3 p.m. or something. They're not estimated to ship till March. Like what the fuck are you? I can't. I mean like, I've listened to some pretty expensive

like Sinhizer studio, some really nice music studio headphones. And it's nice, but man alive. Is it just like, I don't know that it rocks your world enough to be like $500 headphones. My God, like, yeah, and it's weird because, like, there are headphones that are way, there are like headphones that are thousands of dollars. But I don't have a good air fri,

I'm not an audio file, I don't know what I'm listening for. So my qualifier for good headphones is so low that it's like, why would I ever spend $500 on them when they're gonna sound like $150 headphones. It's so low that it's like, why would I ever spend $500 on them when they're going to sound like $150 head. Yeah. I mean, it's like, my nice Bose ones, my noise canceling. Yeah, that's what I was thinking in my mind. It was like, I already have that nice pair of Bose ones, which are honestly, I've had them for several years and they're breaking.

Uh, I needed to replace them anyway. Uh, I was traveling to wear this year, but when we do start traveling again, I'm going to need like a nice pair of noise canceling. In the past, I've always used the Bose ones, but it's do start traveling again, I'm gonna need like a nice pair of noise cancelling in the past I've always used the Bose ones, but it's like I already had the credit like I basically paid $10 to replace my fancy headphones Um, and I'll probably replace these like the ones that I wear here every day when I'm working on it. There's also some cool features that I think the uh, the AirPods Pro had where you could change between noise cancelling and um, I forget the term they use but like active listening

essentially. Transparency is like a yeah. It's like amplifies kind of hearing aid. Yeah, so you hear your music really well, but you could also hear like if people are talking next to you or across the room or something like that. You can do like last of us listen for creatures in other rooms, or zombies in other rooms. And get through the walls. Where I gotta go see the outlines. Yeah, that's why they're $549. Yeah. Okay, what are your differences?

Yeah, from clickers. From clickers, yeah. They do look cool, I will say it, but it's just like $549 for headphones, for me is a little too much. They look like every pair of headphones here. It's just like, I will say, if I didn't have that gift card, I would definitely not have bought those headphones.

I think it's way too much. I just, I love the idea of getting those headphones and then listening, being like me and listening to nothing but podcasts on them. Just like people talking. It's not even things that's like audio engineered to sound like, oh, symphonic. It's just like, oh yeah, it's my dickhead friends.

Just be an idiot on all podcast. It's like, that's what I listen to most of the time. I's just like, oh yeah, it's my dickhead friends. Just be an idiot on all by God. It's like, that's what I listen to most of the time. I'm just like, I'm gonna wear them and play Minecraft with these guys. Yeah, you will. But all of a, ah, that'll sound perfect. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. With headphones, the headphones with technology

have always given me so much grief. I had a pair of headphones that were, I've still got them. I don't remember what brand they are. It was a pair of headphones that were, I've still got them, I don't remember what brand they are. It was a part of something where I was provided them with something. But every time I turned them on, it would just start playing a song because it was paired to something, but I didn't know where or what the thing was. So I would turn them on and it would just play a song that I didn't own, and I couldn't ever put them on and just use them with anything.

I had to like unpaired them from the mysterious item that's playing this song to use them. And it was a it was annoying. I just want to have I want headphones that plug in and they play what I'm plugged into. I'm simple bad simple man. Plugging in. So those dumbass headphones that I bought don't have a 3.5 millimeter jack, right? Like they have lightning audio. So if you're gonna want to plug them into a 3.5 millimeter jack, you need to buy an adapter. They shipped me the adapter right away. I've got that, but I'm not like

no headphones to use on them. That alone is a reason not to get it. That alone is it. So I mean, they're blue too. You're blue to use as well. Right. Yeah. If you want to use them with your computer, you need that. If you're going to probably do Bluetooth on your computer. Right. That's exactly what I'm planning. So I, um, yeah, I've got like a whole mess of. I mean, it's just like it wants to use to come with an iPhone, right? They would have the lightning on the end. Couldn't use those with your own. You couldn't use those with your own Apple laptop. Correct, which is so stupid.

There's so many dumb decisions like I feel that we've been bitching about the same thing for like five years. Someone just mentioned Twilight about yellow in the chat. I have no idea what they're talking about, but I love yellow. So I just wanted to show you. You say it was at the song that would play every time you turned his headphones on. It was some depth step thing. I'm convinced Dan did it somehow.

That is a tremendous prank. If you had a device that would automatically pair with like Bluetooth devices and you hit it in someone's house. So anytime they like boot, like anytime they powered up headphones, it would just connect it, play. And they would just automatically play just something like, you know, you know, awful. The poor, yeah. These ones here, these ones that I use for editing, which I plug directly in. That's how I use them. But if ever I'm doing Bluetooth, it will play, it'll just play some song. I'll try and get

a video of it. They're dead right now, but I'll try and get a video of the song. I'm trying to get a video of it, that's dead right now, but I'll try to get a video of this song. Alright, well let's wrap this up. We've gone far too long. Alright, well thanks for watching everybody. We'll be back next week. Yeah, we'll be back next week. We'll see you guys then. Bye! Bye! .
