Hello everyone, welcome to the received podcast.
I'm Gus.
You're Gavin.
Hi, Gavin.
Yeah, I guess he's like,
he's cutting out, yeah.
You're not going poop, poop, poop, poop.
Ah, I'm Gavin.
Oh God.
I'm, I'm Blaine. You're in it. It poop. I'm Gavin. God. I'm playing.
I just, you're getting it so shit.
I don't know what's happening.
I'm vibrant, I think.
Gus, you OK?
I'm Gus, what happened?
Everything was fine before we went live, right?
We were having a whale of a time,
having a really nice chat, and then the podcast started,
and then you glitched out.
And then I was imagining what that would have been like
if we were on the same couch in real life and you just went like this
At the beginning of the podcast
Remember they started messing up during the post show last week. Do you remember that like we were fine
Then the post show would just screwed up
What's going on am I am I remember that I have no time now? Oh, yeah, and we were messing with you by pretending to hear you
Right, what was he now? Yeah, for the most Right. What was the last podcast we did in studio? March 23rd? Was
that was that the one where I went to go get my doomsday
apocalypse jacket and I couldn't find it? I don't remember.
Blaine, I feel like you're the only person who's gonna
remember that specific detail about something you did
I remember I ran to the to the stage two
For the post show and then you guys started it without me and then when I came back you guys were like and that's our post show
Thanks for watching and I was like off. Oh, yeah, that might have been that day
Yeah, that sounds about right
Long time ago yeah
All right, I could hate you that if that might my my my my internet's still fucking up you guys are like popping it out
It's gonna be totally great
That's good. We'll take a nap. We'll finish the podcast. Oh good. It was going to be totally great. That's what we were doing for the year. We were going to take a nap, we'll finish the podcast. Oh, good. It was perfect.
It was fine.
We were talking.
You were asking me where come came from,
and I was trying to explain it.
Yeah, I was wondering whether it's just
throughout the balls evenly spread
or is it in some sort of chamber waiting to go?
And then you were telling me that it's mixed as it comes out.
I thought so.
I thought it's composed of different things
that every different parts of your body produce
and at the last moment it all gets put together.
Do you think that one ball is liquid, like water
and then the other one is like white powder,
kind of like powdered milk and then they use together?
That'd be unfortunate to lose one then.
Otherwise, you lost the liquid one,
you would just,
you used it like it's a constant powder.
No, that makes sense because there's very different
consistencies depending on the person.
Like some people got like really sick.
Like more powder would have been added to that mixture
and some very like thin, like,
like not as much powder would have been added to that.
So it's played.
It's depending on like how long you go though, I think,
is it?
Yeah, surely it's like like if you're dehydrated,
maybe it'll be thicker.
Gavgo whips up a batch and then lets compare it.
The batch.
I also don't know what that person has done all day
to get to that consistency.
I usually only know them in that moment and that's it.
It does come from different glands.
I just looked it up.
And it's like,
your powder gland and your liquid gland.
Yes.
It's just like a powdered milk,
like a treat cure oval team.
Same kind of stuff.
Yeah.
Man, so you were talking about the,
so I have a question for you, Blaine.
You weren't on last week.
If we talk about the Mandalorian on Monday,
do we still have to respect spoilers for this past Friday's episode?
I don't, I don't think so because if you're going by the Star Wars Twitter account,
they are already posting spoilers. They posted one this morning that I think I retweeted
where it was. Yeah, I saw that one. Yeah, it was a certain person in a certain costume.
And like last last week, people got mad at us
because on the podcast on Monday,
we said what baby Yoda's name was
and they had just revealed that on Friday.
And I didn't think that was a spoiler
because one, it's not really like a plot point or anything.
And two, it had been a few days by that point.
I mean, it's like it's not the as theaters, because you're not limited to like,
oh, take it available and all this stuff, it's literally sitting on your couch and just
like popping it on for 30, 45 minutes.
So I don't know.
I'd say just give it a week to be safe.
To be honest.
Yeah, but then it's into the context.
Yeah, but then it's into the context.
I'm gonna be busy for two days, but I'll definitely watch after that.
Also depends like how effective that spoiler is,
like how much it actually changes the show
or altars the show.
Like, I feel like, oh, the fact that now Baby Yoda has a name,
I don't necessarily think that's like,
I mean, obviously it's a spoiler,
but it doesn't change like a major plot point, you know.
Right.
It's not like this last week when you picked up
the two lightsabers in dual wield them. Yeah.
Dinda Jared is actually a Jedi of Mandalorian. He's in the new Mandalorian. Yeah.
So that shows fucking.
And that last one was really good. So I really liked season one, right?
I thought season one was good. I think before the show came out, I really wasn't
sure what to expect from it. I thought it was going to be more like one-off stories, like the Mandalorian traveling around
the galaxy and kind of like a team style, right?
Like finding a problem and dealing with it and fixing it moving on.
And obviously they went in a very different direction.
But I feel like season two, they're really like, I feel like they realize that people enjoy
season one.
So they're really leaning heavy into Star Wars lore and like connecting dots and like really making a story that's accessible for people who don't
know Star Wars but at the same time like pulling out deep lore plot points to make people who are
really into Star Wars happy at the same time. Yeah, that's all Dave Follone is doing because he's
like basically George Lucas 2.0. He was like, Lucas is like his protege.
So like, yeah, he's like one of us,
one of the Star Wars nerds.
I'm super pumped about it.
And like it's finally paying off all those hours
that I put into watching like Clone Wars and Rebels
through thick and thin, like all of that stuff is paying off
and they're like, it's just the right amount of fan service.
I'm really thinking.
That's fine.
Yeah.
I even saw like on the Disney Plus app, they even have like a highlights of a
sock. What's her name?
So I never watched it.
Aso katano, like, like, critical episodes you need to watch.
You can put up on her backstory.
Can we talk about her for like two seconds?
Because I had a question for Blaine on this or anybody really knows.
So I'm not as familiar with that character.
It like, I know basically just like the main
Star Wars movies and nothing else. That thing she has on her head that like goes up and then down
is that skin or is it something else? Because it looks like it's like a skin texture.
Yeah, that's part of her body like her anatomy. I know that on, they're not Lee Koo,
that's a different race.
I can't remember what they're called.
The thing that pissed me off was everybody was complaining
that there were a lot shorter in live action
than they were in the cartoon,
but it's like, you're gonna complain about that.
Like, clearly they had to shorten them
so that she could do stunts and stuff like that
and she's not wearing a fucking 45 pound heads piece.
Also, it doesn't have to be like inch for inch, right?
Like it says an interpretation of the character as long as it looks like them
and the fact that it's like just what an inch or two shorter or something.
Yeah. Well, in the animation style,
changed between like Clone Wars and Rebels.
So, but yeah, I'm so glad that they like, ah, fuck, I,
not all worried about spoilers and stuff like that, but they totally
Unnerved to one of my favorite characters and it feels
Feels good feels good
It's possible. You mean they actually he's that that character is actually worth a damn now
Yes as opposed to it before when it was just like I don't I don't understand why anyone liked him before
Well because he's awesome in the extended universe.
He's got like really cool stories and shit.
I guess my complaint is when I was growing up,
that stuff didn't exist.
It's like people loved him just based on the three core movies.
I was like, I don't understand why you all are so obsessed with him.
But I am happy that I never watched Rebels
or the Clone Wars card.
I watched the old Clone Wars cartoons that Gandy Tartikowski made,
got a lot 2003, 2004, but I didn't watch the updated one.
So I was glad to hear the Admiral Theron name drop because I was a huge fan of those
books when I read them when they came out.
So I'm curious to see where that goes.
Yeah, they brought about Timothy's on.
He did a new book series or he's doing a new book series
and they also did a short run of comic books on him
and it's all fucking rad.
And he's like, he's voiced by Mads and Michelson's brother
and like people are like speculating and fancasting
on who it's gonna be and they're saying it's gonna be him.
But I don't know, like it's weird
because now that they're bringing in like cartoon characters
from series that were like just previously made, theoretically a lot of these guys can translate
into their live action iterations, but some of them can't.
Like a Soca, Ahsoka, it was a different actor, not the same voice actor, but then the Boca
Tan, that's the same actress.
Yeah, Katie Sackoff played the voice for Boca Tan, right and she also played the live-action version in the Mandalorian. Yeah, and it's Rosario Dawson as Asoka, right? Yeah, the other one is a
Kate Katie use something on camera. What her name is God I love Rosario Dawson grilled she's so beautiful
Pretty cool. It's great actress
real. She's so beautiful. Very cool. It's great actress. In chat, Skipster 1-2-1 says that those things are sensory organs,
Barbara, they used to sense other people.
Oh, cool.
Montrals.
Yeah, she just looks so cool. I love that character so much.
I like Trevor Watches Mandalorian, but I want to kind of half watch it because I just want to see the baby Yoda scenes. But that at
the so it was like really captivating. And I paid attention
the whole time just because like I love Rosario Dawson and that
character was really cool. And I'm like, damn, I want to watch more
content with this character.
Well, how do you have watch it? You'd like like in the same room,
but doing other stuff.
I'll be on the couch next to him, like on social media
or like reading the news or something like that
and he'll be watching it.
And then baby Yoda will be on the screen and I'll go,
ah!
I'm just stoked because like they, in season one,
it was I think Dave Fologne's live action
directoral debut and then it was, I think Dave Fologne's live action directoral debut, and then it was also,
fuck, who directed solo?
It's his daughter.
Oh God.
Ron Howard.
Ron Howard's daughter, yeah.
Bryce Dallas.
Bryce Dallas Howard, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So like, they had like two of the weaker episodes
in season one, they were like, kinda cringey,
Ashley XD, and that's the voice of his hookah. That's okay. They brought them episodes in season one, they were like kind of cringy, actually X-D, and that's the voice of a Saka.
That's okay.
They brought them back for season two, and they had like fucking rad episodes.
And like I'm just happy that they gave them a second chance, and I'm glad it shows that
there's like a market improvement in their directing abilities.
So this is like every week, I'm waking up at 6 a.m. on the dot and watching the episodes
is the quickest I've ever gotten out of bed.
Yeah, you're such an asshole because you'll like post something about the
Mandalorian in our groups lack.
And Gus is just like, we haven't seen it yet.
Stop talking.
And you'll like try to drop little teasers here and there.
The ongoing fight between me and Gus is I call it last night's episode because it comes
out at like midnight.
And then Gus says this morning's or today's episode. So we got to days episode, night's episode, because it comes out at midnight, and then Gus says this mornings or today's episode.
So we go on.
We had today's episode, Friday's episode.
Yeah, and I'll say, yeah, Thursday night's episode.
We're doing this cute little fight.
We'll take each other.
Do you remember, we met Rosario Dawson, you and I Gavin.
I'm gonna fear of doing that.
Back at some point, like in 2014,
you sat on the couch next to her.
I did, I don't know why I was there.
I should have just not been on that.
Because I hadn't seen what she was promoting
and she's incredibly famous.
So I was just like,
if you look scary, so young there. Yeah. I'm not scared. I'm not scared. I'm not scared.
I'm not scared.
I'm not scared.
I'm not scared.
You look scary.
You look so young there.
Yeah.
What was that picture?
Did we do something?
I just felt like completely irrelevant to...
Yeah, look at me. I felt bad because you were interviewing her,
and you weren't next to her.
So I was just like, I was in this wide shot
that we had to keep talking about over you.
I should have sped off stage and come on when she left,
because she was only on for a little bit.
Was that Diego Luna next to her?
Yeah, Diego Luna was on the show.
He's another Star Wars actor.
He was in Rug One, he's an Italian.
Do you ever forget what your friends used to look like
years ago and then you see a picture? Like are you referring to? That picture of you. Look at your hair
and just like the way you're sitting. Look at it. We're all friends, idiot. I'm proud of all of these former podcast guests going on to do good things in the Star Wars
universe.
Yeah, they got their starter recipes.
That's right.
Yeah, use us as a launching pad to go on and do great things.

I have a question for you guys and I raised this question to Barbara and some other people
that we were streaming with you the night.
So like remember when Warner Media sent out there was like a little care package at the beginning
of quarantine.
It had a bunch of stuff like local goods from LA.
Yeah.
They're like, okay, so like they gave us a bar.
It wasn't a bar of pumice or was it a bar of soap?
Because I have it here and I've been watching it.
Washington, it's a pumice.
Pumice stone.
Oh, it's like a pumice soap.
So it's not body soap.
You, I mean, it's pretty coarse.
That stuff was awesome.
I love that stuff.
It's good for like the bottoms of your feet, right?
Like to, uh,
so that's- Yeah, if you need to like exfoliate something
Yeah, okay, I've been using this as like face and body soap and ball soap and I've been running it all over myself
Ball soap dude
Yeah, you exfoliate your bowls. I mean, I guess so so I mean here it is nice
They included some some shower bombs in that care package. You're awesome. Yeah
I gave it to my girlfriend at the time also here's a nature's Valley bar for comparison in case you get next to your ball bar
Well, it's just for its precise comparison
Blaine wouldn't eat food if it fell its balls. I mean, it's just these balls. Yeah, it's my balls
Yeah, would you eat ham off your balls?
I mean, not like intentionally.
That was a whole ham job.
It's a actually feel down.
I think it's something that would wrap nicely around the skin.
Are you are you thinking of what I'm thinking Gavin that episode of friends
when Monica has to make Joey a bunch of four skin a bunch of
four skin because he auditioned for something where he said he was cat like
doesn't that episode with him like dropping his balls like at during the
casting thing yeah he pulls skin falls off was it below me or something they
ended up with yeah I think he eats the first one.
You all need to watch how to with John Wilson.
Oh, my God. Hard to watch that.
Did I, we talked last week about the fact that we watch episode four, right?
I think so.
Yeah, it's up to episode six, right?
Yeah, that was a story.
But you're talking about the Bologoney stuff made me think about that show.
Did it make you think about episode four in particular?
Episode four in particular, yes.
Oh, the bedroom thing?
Yes.
The bed thing.
Yeah, great.
It's a great show.
That, so like that show and then like Eric Andre and then even like
Auntie Donna,
and then like Eric Andre and then even like Auntie Donna.
They're kind of following this trend where it's like throwing a fuck ton of money
at a really stupid concept and just pulling the string
and just seeing how far you can milk a bit
and just keep throwing cash at it
and I fucking love that style of comedy.
Because that guy goes off like,
I mean, I can't even pull up an example,
but like he like went to,
like across the country because some guy that he happened
to run into invited him to a convention
in the middle of nowhere.
And like he just keeps pulling these narrative strings
and it's like it's so fascinating to see where he goes.
Is it just me, it kind of has like a very Steven's
subject, sugar pine seven, field to it in a way.
It's like a first person camera and like narrative
that they kind of would do for their videos.
It's hilarious.
I feel like sugar pine seven, you probably love this.
Yeah.
Which is a good comparison.
I never thought of it that way.
That's an interesting way to look at it.
So what was it on here?
Was it you, Barbara Ojeska,
who was telling me to watch the holiday?
The Christmas movie.
I think both.
Did you watch it?
I watched it. I hated it. It wasn't any good, right? And then I looked up the budget.
It cost $84 million to make.
What? It cost $84 million to make.
But it's just like a romantic comedy. That's impossible, unless they bought the mansion that they filmed in.
I assume they just paid everyone like $15 million bucks.
$84 million budget, and I looked it up.
Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the Ring, was $93 million.
Wow. It was almost like... ring was $93 million.
It was almost like something off of the ring.
I couldn't believe it.
And it is.
I don't know why I didn't like it. It just wasn't very funny.
It's got a big cast.
I mean, Jude Law,
everything is caught when he was Jack Black.
Fucking E like wallets in it.
I just I thought it was like a sweet movie.
I didn't really think it was funny
I like it more for the raw version of the cut. It's a rom com, but I like the rom side of the rom
You like the rom rom just for that one some calm
I
Thought the most interesting thing was the stuff with Kate Winslet and that old guy. I thought I like that bit
Yeah, but that wasn't really I'm reading I'm reading the Wikipedia for it now that you mentioned that it cost $85 million to make. And I'm going to read you one
sentence from the box office. I also love how that's a Wikipedia page first instinct when
he watches a movie that he doesn't like is to see how much it costs to make. I was just
on IMDB just reading about it. I like to just check out behind the scenes facts. I'll try to see the film.
That's it.
The Hollywood didn't become cocaine.
So the Hollywood became the 12th highest grossing film of the 2000s to be held by a female
director.
Like what a weirdly specific granular bit of data to take.
Yeah.
It was so close. graphic granular bit of data to take.
Yeah.
It was so, well, well, thanks for a woman. Were there snow season?
I mean, I felt like love actually was a better movie.
And that's like, there's a lot going on in that.
Mm, I don't know.
I feel like romcoms, I would never classify like any of them
as like my top five or my top 10 movies,
but they're the kind of movies that I like to put on if I'm anxious or I just need something
on, need something to watch in the background.
I go to rom.
Yeah, I get that.
But they're not like that.
I think if no one had told me to watch it, I'd be fine with it.
I was just a lot of people were like, oh yeah, he's a classic Christmas movie.
Yeah.
It's great.
Now you have to watch last holiday with Queen Latifa,
which not to be confused with the holiday.
Just get the whole holiday series under your belt.
Just to understand them all.
I was watching Christmas vacation the other day.
Well, I was like, I put Christmas vacation on
because I was putting up a Christmas tree.
I had to go buy a new one, remember my old one got fucked up. And I don't know why,
like I was putting up the Christmas tree and I turned to look at them to watch the movie for a
second. I give it my full attention. And I forget what the gag was, but they had done some stupid,
like physical gag that's obviously supposed to make you laugh. And it was so over the top that
they even had that sound effect. I'm like, to try to emphasize the fact that what you were looking at was funny.
And I just, like, I just furrowed my brow like, has that sound always been there?
It was like a weird audio cue to be like, hey, that's funny.
You should laugh.
So John Hughes, that was when they found out that he didn't bring a axe to cut down the
tree.
That was it.
That's the exact moment.
He goes, man, Blaine, you really remember that movie well.
It's almost as if you just watched it at the Alamo Drafthouse.
Yeah, no, a small group of us went out there and watched it on the big screen.
And that's a movie I never expected to see on the big screen.
And it's a movie that you don't necessarily need to see on the big screen.
Still holds up.
Fucking love that movie.
It's just nice to watch movies so big with your friends in it.
Yeah, it really is.
I had it.
That should be the slogan for every movie theater coming back after quarantine.
So after after I watched that movie, I made a tweet.
This is I didn't want to look it up. So I was curious if anybody had ever actually had already done the work because I was going to do it otherwise
But I made a tweet asking if anybody had ever done the math to figure out how much it would cost in his electricity bill for
Clark Griswalt to run those lights for a month and
Someone had done the math and I read through it and
At the time using the kinds of bulbs he describes in what they were in
Chicago in Illinois
that it would have cost him $3,600 in electricity to run those for a money.
Wow, it seemed like they could definitely afford that.
Modern-day LED bulbs, like more energy efficient bulbs, the same set up
with modern bulbs would cost you $63.
Holy shit.
So when you take advantage of that and like use as a marketing thing, like fucking GE or something, you should get on that. So much credit. So much credit. So much credit.
So much credit.
So much credit.
So much credit.
So much credit.
So much credit. So much credit.

So much credit. So much credit. So much credit. So much credit. So much credit. last couple seasons of community because he was so hard to work with. Apparently he's like low key racist,
and he's allegedly, and he's kind of just in dick as well.
I mean, and that's been, that's,
reputations haunted him since his SNL days.
Like fucking Bill Murray hates him.
Like they hate each other,
and I'm catty-shack and stuff.
Interesting.
Which is a bummer to hear,
because like Chippewa Chays is a comedic god.
That movie was, that was my first time
seeing Christmas vacation.
And-
Oh, you'd never seen it?
I'd never seen it before.
And man, like, I, it was, had very heartwarming moments
and it had like some good old school comedy bits
and stuff like that, but God, that movie was hard to watch
at times.
Because so much is going wrong.
And the people are like, so many people are just unfazed by everything.
And I'm just like, this is fucking madness.
I can't, I don't understand.
The wife is so nonchalant in the entire movie.
She's just like, Clark, come inside soon.
And it's just like he's hanging from a thing.
And I don't know, whatever, I don't want to.
Have you seen any of the other vacation movies?
No. OK. They're all similar vein. thing and I don't know whatever I don't have you seen any of the other vacation movies no
Okay They're all similar vein where it's just like he's acting like an insane person and she's just like
Going with the flow, so I think that's the thing is like she's supposed to be used to it
Like it's just like he acts like that all the time. Yeah, I can't imagine having to deal with someone like that
Don't give me wrong. I enjoyed it. Yeah. I like it when he's in his attic.
It's very funny, but the movie.
The only thing, and it really stuck out this time
when I watched it, the only thing that bothers me
about the attic scene is when his feet go through,
and he lands on the bunk bed, he can easily
have scrolled his way down and out of the attic
at that point.
But he stays up there to watch movies and stuff.
It's funny though, because he just goes like, go, shh, he just goes,
unwatchable.
It's a good movie.
And the other funny thing to me is like the animation at the beginning of that movie,
that little animated thing with Santa looks so shitty.
Oh, yeah.
That's all right.
It's like, I don't know, I guess it's like
that style of like animation has aged a bit. It doesn't look as crisp as you would expect. It would
be like, I feel like if it was done nowadays, it would look very different. That it also had its own theme
song, which I feel like with the exception of like an orchestral score, like movies don't really have
theme songs, I feel like anymore.
And it's a catchy song.
Like I listen to it with my holiday music, you know.
Some movies have theme songs at the end.
Well, like songs about the movie that they stick on the credits.
I guess Tenet did.
Tenet has like a song.
I think you guys start with Chris is using playlists.
Like, when does that start playing in your house?
December. September? September.
September.
September.
September. September.
September.
I just, I didn't realize it, but I'm used to around the holiday time, like listening to
the radio in my car or like being at the mall or or out in public somewhere and hearing
Christmas songs all the time.
And like, now you got to make it happen for yourself.
Yeah, we haven't like told our Alexa to start playing it. So we're like, I guess is this coming up soon?
Should probably get the thing. We're in the thick of it. Yeah, you gotta get that started.
I know. What's your favorite Christmas song, Barbara?
Let's see. Let me pull from my vast knowledge of Christmas music. Let's see. Uh, die hard. I know that was
my question. I was gonna jokingly say the die hard theme song. Oh shit. I snipe. Oh,
to joy was it? Like, yeah. Yeah. They do play that song a lot. Yeah, I don't know. I like just like general Christmas music because it makes me it brings me back to memories of kid because my family and I would always traveled to Florida for the holidays.
And so whenever we would start hearing Christmas music, it would remind me god damn it stupid fucking light that we were traveling the Florida soon. And so that Christmas music always reminds
you of a vacation. You associate Christmas with Florida. I sure do. Isn't that when they
were going in a home alone? No, wait, where would they go to? Why? I think they actually
I think it might have been Florida. Miami, maybe. Also, if you associate Christmas music with with Florida. Why don't you hate Christmas?
We're gonna Paris Zing I got to find out where they were traveling now in homelown and father Paris
Paris
No, but it was supposed to be tropical
There's one where the oh
Homelun too. I think was something tropical right
Don't remember I guess the the best things to do would be to watch both of those movies back to back
pretend
So once a dominate the donkey is the best Christmas song fuck that that like that
Rings up there with songs that I like punch the radio to change
That like that brings up there with songs that I like punch the radio to change. Uh, sand.
Did it it it me hot me hot.
It's time.
Okay.
You know on what I've never I don't know what you're about.
I said.
I'm not crazy.
You're crazy.
And then Santa baby fucking sucks.
I want to hit the products for Christmas fucking sucks.
Eric, have you ever heard of Dominic called that fucking sucks?
Yeah, I'm singing it here. Hey, sorry. Yeah, just jumping in because I had to look it up. I've never heard this song in my life.
You guys are insane. That or I know Chris is what you Dominic the donkey? Let me look it up and see if I
know how long it is.
The my fast knowledge.
Why is the Italian for donkey Italian?
What?
Why is that is Dominic the donkey Italian?
The guy sings it in a super stereotypical Italian accent too.
Like Italian, the donkey probably did have to do an impression of the the super offensive Italian accent too like Italian to get the down gain probably probably didn't have to do an
impression of the the super offensive Italian accent maybe something to consider.
Right. It's okay. I'm partly. I want to go back in time and forget. I've ever heard that.
Yeah. Is it Italian American singer? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'd never heard this song. I just listened to a few
seconds of it. Where have you heard this blaine? It's on the radio all the time and it's
like an all Christmas Spotify list. What's the most common Christmas song this played?
Come on, I carry one. Jingle bells? Yeah. Jingle bells. Yeah, I guess the one I hate is that Paul McCartney song the simply having a wonderful Christmas time that song
No, no
That's a lot of this that's absolute best Christmas song
Is it right? I know I know you like it right I know mega 64 would play that all the fucking time
It's a great one. We're simply having a wonderful Christmas time.
I don't know that song because in the background
it's just going, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba Everything's there for you. I think of any person at the company you and I have the most unified vision or, you know, same taste in music.
I would agree. I feel like there's a lot of good Christmas music that never made its way to America though.
Like Dominic, the Christmas Duncan.
No, it clearly made its way.
I know it's it.
Like I wish it could be Christmas every day that the slate sold.
Oh, that's a good one.

Gavin, you need to explain something.
Meg made a tweet the other day what song was it oh sweet Caroline
What do you say instead of
Part of the game is it so good so good so good
Okay, so I
When I went to tenoree as a child which was is one of the Canary Islands, you know it well,
there was a big plane crash there once.
That was this guy who would like go around all the like British tourist resorts and he
was seeing classics, you know, a bit of Neil Diamond.
But whenever he got to that bit in Sweet Caroline, I've never heard of he would say so good,
so good, so good.
I've never heard anyone say so good, so good, so good. I've only ever heard.
I don't believe you.
You're making it up, you bitch.
What?
I don't believe you.
You're making it up, you bitch.
Yeah, I don't think it just carries on.
It would be like a call and response to the audience.
And I don't know if it was like a specific ten-hour-eaf thing.
But then, like, I just immediately said that that and Meg was like, what's on earth?
And I was googling it and it seems to be maybe specific to that one guy singing in
tenorief.
It might be.
But I thought that was the thing to say.
And this video is a bit, you can find videos of people responding with that.
So how did that, how did that go down?
Like she's singing along or playing that song.
You say that.
Do she think she's, you're talking to her?
She gets offended.
No, she immediately was like, we were doing some like,
we were going through some cooler response songs.
And when she sent me up with that one, I said,
I believe you, you're making it up.
You bitch.
And then she thought I was just joking.
And then I found a clip online
of like a bar full of people responding like that
to someone doing karaoke.
She must have been so fucking confused.
She honestly, I don't think I've ever blown her mind as much.
Like when I played that clip, she was like,
I can't believe that's a real thing that you haven't just
made up. In chat, Peter H says that he did the research and it's literally just that
one guy in Tineria. No one else. Shout out to Baz Knight.
Yeah, I wouldn't want to. I had to read her tweet like five times to understand what she was asking just because they made absolutely no sense to me
Of all of the weird like British stuff the I answer into videos that go on noticed that one is by far
The most niche and specific British reference that most of England 99% of England won't even get that one. I'm proud of it
There there was a video I saw, well I think I don't remember if it was last year or the year before. I think it was Tom Scott made a video where he tried to analyze the regional differences between
the the jingle bells Batman smell song. I don't know if anyone else in the video. Robin
laid an egg. Batman mobile lost wheeled. So there it is.
Got away.
Apparently there's different versions of that song of what you just sang.
Yeah, I don't doubt it.
Yeah, and he tried to figure out like whether it was a British American thing or if there
was like regional differences and he found a bunch of different versions of the song
and breaks down like where all of these songs are originally from.
And it makes me think of the same thing that you're talking about with like sweet
Carolina coming from that one guy.
And his stuff was like down to like different regions
within counties and it was like very specific,
what you would say.
Like, for me, it was always the Batmobile
lost a wheel on the motorway.
Whoa.
Not the Joker got away.
Not the Joker got away.
No, the Joker wasn't involved in that for me.
Like, Mark Campbell's, the Joker sings that
in one of the Batman cartoons, I think, the joke wasn't involved in that for me like Mark Campbell's the Joker sings that in one of the Batman cartoons
I think the anime is the
People who sang it differently were probably so confused and thought that they got it wrong
The fuck
That's a great video
And they want to turn a reef and they're very confused
Man, I wonder why bad night is up to now.
Is he still alive? How long could you see that?
It must have been a long time ago.
He was honestly like, I think the last time what's
10 or if was a decade ago.
But he would always sing at the place that I stayed at on Friday nights.
Since I was a baby, probably, I think he'd been there decades.
I hope he's still. I guess, I guess COVID is maybe not.
Not that great to that industry.
Good for the gig economy there.
Yeah, sadly.
Oh, what a crazy.
What's up, Gus?
I can't find it.
I was just gonna say I'm looking for information about it,
but I can't find it. At least we have a lot at the end of the tunnel. Yeah, with the vaccine.
Yeah, things come back. That'd be good. That'd be good. I'm ready for that shit.
Yeah, except none of us are gonna get it for a long time. But I guess it's good for other people.
Yeah, I can wait. I can wait.
Give it to the people who need it most.
All I'm saying is my birthday is in February.
If you want to combine my Christmas and my birthday gifts together into one thing, I'll
take a COVID vaccine.
You'll love it by that.
You don't have to give me two presents.
You can just get me one.
You can just get me a COVID vaccine.
That's all I need.
That's all I want.
I never asked for anything.
I've been a good boy this year.
I was a good boy last year. Didn't get anything and that's fine. You know, be great.
COVID vaccine is if Santa brought us vaccines. Well, yes, that would be lovely. I would start believing in Santa if that was the case. If for the vaccine, because I know the the two that are looking promising right now, it's two doses that I think have to be 14 days apart.
And apparently there's like 70% chance that people don't come back for the second vaccine. I
think there was like some study that they did that in 70% of the cases people don't come back for
the follow-up vaccine. And so I feel like the government should pay people a thousand dollars
vaccine. And so I feel like the government should pay people $1,000 after they get their second vaccine to incentivize them and like get people to remember to do it because like
maybe in addition to a stimulus check or like in replacement, I don't know what it is,
but it's essentially acting as both a stimulant, stimulant, and also getting people to get the vaccine. Right.
Just like, I don't know why it is.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
I don't know why it is.
I don't know why.
I don't know why it is.
I don't know why it is.
I don't know why it is.
I don't know why it is.
I don't know why it is.
I don't know why it is.
I don't know why it is.
I don't know why it is.
I don't know why it is.
I don't know why it is.
I don't know why it is.
I don't know why it is.
I don't know why it is.
I don't know why it is. I don't know why it is. I don't know why it is. I don't know why it is. I don't know why it is. they could not not buy one of those planes. Yeah, they could just take a tiny little bit of the military.
You say like it's a crazy thing, right?
Like giving a thousand dollars to 350 million people.
But I know that a lot of countries in the in the world are giving like a universal
income to their citizens during a time like this.
We've had, I mean, we had one stimulus back earlier this year.
Yeah.
And nothing sense then.
I mean, we could definitely earmark some of that money
towards giving to people who are affected by this.
Yeah, you're right.
I mean, I don't see it happening here because,
I mean, there's just a lot of people.
It's a big issue.
There's just so many people.
Can you imagine if they decriminalized marijuana
and gave us the COVID vaccine all within the same like time frame and how radical that would be
that'd be pretty dope
we should start a theory that 2021 is gonna be just as good as 2020 was bad
so everything good is gonna happen to you manifest it means like everything like it's gonna be as good as this year was bad
so it's gonna be like really fucking good.
It'll be like opposite year.
I'm picking up from what you're laying down here.
We get, you have a bad year, you have a good year.
Just to see, Sam, man, just shoot the other side
back up there.
It'd be cool.
It'd be cool for the, yeah, I'm excited about the world.
Yeah.
You have to go see it, but it's still actually there.
Yeah, make sure it's still still that.
What's this feeling? What is it called? I think it's like hope or something.
How?
I remember that a new hope.
I've been man speaking of medical stuff are fucking insurance sucks.
It's fucking shity ass insurance.
I've been bailed as head.
Any problems with it.
No, they, how did they get in touch with me? They called me
or they sent me a letter. They sent me a letter a couple
weeks ago saying that I needed to move my prescriptions to a
specific pharmacy that they told me I should use. Have you
all not had that yet? I had, I think they had like a list of a
couple pharmacies. And I was there in your network. Or whatever. Yeah, they were, they were like, I think they had like a list of a couple pharmacies and I deserve your network.
No, whatever.
Yeah, they were like, I have to go to CVS now to get my medicine.
Who cares?
Because like the problem is that there are other pharmacies closer to me.
Like to get to the CVS, I have to drive past other pharmacies.
I like how this is your definition of aren't sure it's sucking.
I have to try it further.
They shouldn't restrict you to one pharmacy.
That's the indication that it sucks.
It's like you should be able to go to whatever pharmacy you want to.
Like what's next?
They're going to tell you you have to go to a specific doctor.
You don't get to choose the doctor you want to go to.
I don't understand insurance at all.
If I'm paying every month for something and then I need to use the dog she want to go to. I don't understand insurance at all. If I'm paying every month for something,
and then I need to use the damn thing,
why am I paying for it again?
Why is there deductible?
Who came up with that?
What's the point of paying the insurance money
every single month?
Every month when nothing happens
and when something happens I pay again?
Yeah, I don't get it.
I don't get it.
I don't get it. I just understand the system.
I was doing this thing.
Let me go ahead, Blee.
I'm going to rant after you.
Oh, I was just going to say, I'm going to pee while you do that.
All right.
Okay.
I was going to get my butt checked out.
The whole thing like a like a scope down the thing and then down up the thing.
Hopefully a different scope. But it was going to cost so much fucking money and it was
basically going to take care of like my deductible. So I was like, well, why do that in November
December? Because it's going to reset in January. So like, I'll just postpone this until January
and then I'll get my my button, my my mouth like checked out and stuff. So I'm like waiting to get all that stuff done in January.
But by the time I get it all checked out, like the problem could have worsened because I waited,
but that's just I want to save money. I don't know. Which is the year round. Not what you want, right?
I mean, it's terrible. Yeah, it's pretty shitty. The other problem I've been having. So you remember,
I got my CPAP. When was that that like April of 2019 or May of 2019
It's been year and a half now the machine that helps me breathe. I put it on night and it can't decide where it puts oxygen into me
Yeah, so I'm a cyborg when I sleep so
When was it like two months ago? I got an invoice from the company that I purchased that machine from and
It was an invoice for $9.95. And I was like,
why the fuck do I owe them $9.95? So, you know, I clicked on the PDF that came with it. And it was
just like, it just said like, CPAP machine, $9.95. I was like, why the, I already bought the machine.
I paid them a couple hundred bucks for that thing. So then I called them, takes forever to get through
to someone on the phone, finally get someone on the phone, and I'm like, Hey, I've got this invoice from you.
It says, I owe you $9.95.
What is this for?
And they said, Oh, that's for your CPAP machine.
I said, I know that's what the thing says, but I've had this machine for a year and a half.
I already paid for it.
Why are you charging me $9.95?
And they're like, Oh, you didn't actually buy it.
You're renting it.
I said, Okay, let me tell you again, I paid for it.
I have my credit card statement here.
I paid for this machine.
Why do I owe you $9.95?
And they're like, hold.
So they put me on hold for like 20 minutes.
Then they come back and they're like, apparently
your insurance changed earlier this year
and you were renting it and then it lapsed,
but this is your last payment.
I was like, this is my last payment.
I said, I've never made a payment for it,
but this is my last payment.
And they're like, yes,
I've already got on the phone for like an hour at this point,
right? So I'm like, all right, fine, whatever.
I'll pay the $9.95.
And they're like, do you want to pay by credit card?
And I was like, I'm not going to give you
my credit card number on the phone.
I was like, I'm just going to pay the stupid email.
It has a link.
I'm going to pay it that way. So fine, I went through the website, paid my stupid $ number on the phone. I'm just gonna pay the stupid email. It has a link, I'm gonna pay it that way.
So fine, I went through the website,
paid my stupid nine dollars and nine to five cents,
which I don't think I fucking owe.
Guess what I got on Friday.
Another email saying I owe them nine dollars and nine to five cents.
And this is a monthly.
Yes, I am gonna fucking strangle someone.
Because I know now I have to call them again.
It's gonna take another hour.
They're gonna have to call me back again.
And then they're gonna say, oh yeah, you're renting the machine.
And this is the last thing you owe.
So I'm gonna have to ask them for the agreement I signed for this
because there is no fucking agreement.
I didn't agree to rent it.
I paid for it.
I bought it. It's mine.
So why if you just ignore it? Well, they can do it. I said, why have you just ignored what they can do?
I said, if there's no contract, then I don't know that many money.
There's no legal recourse.
Yeah, you surely could just like, if someone shows up, try to collect the debt, you
can be like, I don't even know what that is.
I don't know how to handle that.
That's a pain in the fucking ass, guys.
I don't like that.
I don't like having to handle that. That's a pain in the fucking ass, guys. I don't like having other companies stuff.
Like I don't wanna have AT&T's rua
that I have to pay for every month, even though I have it.
Let me just buy the thing,
then don't bother me about it.
Don't understand.
Yeah, yeah.
But that's another reason I'm saying,
I'm sure it sucks,
is because I'm having to deal with like these multiple problems,
which on their own are annoying,
but like, they're combining, they're like Voltron,
and they're building up and making this one mega problem
that is just fucking annoying me.
I guess.
I'm looking at the email right now,
and I've been ignoring it for a few days
because I know they're not open on the weekend,
and they're closed by now,
and I have to call them tomorrow and I deal with all this.
I guess my argument is our insurance sucks
because all the fucking insurance
in this country fucking sucks.
And it's just such a pain in the ass
and nothing communicates with each other.
And it's always like a fucking hassle to do anything.
So.
And even if you try and get your head around it
and like I got this for this, this for this,
and then this, then it will change it anyway.
In like a year, it's like, I don't know,
I don't ever know what's going on.
I'm so confused at all times.
Yeah, God.
The joys of being an adult, right?
It's like when you're a kid, you're like,
I can't wait to be an adult.
I can do whatever I want.
Oh, what do I want to do today?
I want to call the insurance company.
I want to argue over $9.95.
That should suck.
They turned off my gas.
Sorry, go ahead.
Oh, yeah, your gas story.
I mean, okay, so I'm an idiot.
I'm a first time homeowner,
and I've been living in apartments.
So I wrongly assumed that the city of Austin's utilities
took care of my gas, right?
Because that's all I ever paid or I pay rent
to the apartment complex.
So I wrongly assumed that and I did not start an account
with the gas company because no one had ever reached out to me.
So suddenly, without warning,
dude shows up to my house.
He leaves the thing on my thing,
it's like, hey, we turned off your gas.
And I was like, ah, fuck.
And I was like, okay, well, I'll call them up.
That's my mistake. And I even said it. I was like, okay, well, I'll call them up.
That's my mistake.
And I even said it.
I was like, hey, listen, I made a huge mistake.
I didn't start an account with you guys.
I'll pay whatever you guys can pro rate it.
I'll pay whatever you need.
I just need to get my gas back on because it's kind of cold.
And they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like 32 that day.
Yep.
This was Thursday.
I think.
And they're like, we'll get a person out by Tuesday.
And I was like, that is five nights away,
and it is supposed to drop down into the thirties
every single night.
And I was like, there's nothing you can do
to get my gas truck on,
because you guys gave me zero warning.
And they're like, well, you didn't start an account
with us and I was like, no, no, I know that.
That is my mistake and I'm admitting it.
And I'm trying to amend the situation, but I was like, I was like, what, no, I know that. Like that is my mistake and I'm admitting it. And I'm trying to amend the situation,
but I was like, I was like, what if I had a baby?
Like, what if I had a kid?
Like luckily to me, my dog, we've camped and worse.
But I was like, are like your grandparents
or something lived with you or something, you know?
Like it was some horseshit.
So anyways, about a heater thing, a space heater,
but I ended up putting that in my garage.
So it all worked out. But I have a question.
Who?
I need to like have a talking to your realtor or something.
The person who helped you purchase your home because like, I don't know about the rest
of y'all, but when like I went through the process of doing things like they told they had
like a checklist for me of everything I needed to sign up for and everything I needed
to make an account for and all this stuff.
He's, he's kind of an old buddy of mine that like, you know, like we're just, we're just pals.
So like, I kind of did all the like we're at to find the house and he just kind of did the rest of the
shit. So I'm, I kind of, I kind of signed myself up for that one. He's good dude.
He's great dude. I love grabbing beers with him,
whenever there's not a fucking pandemic.
But did he tell you to get a gas company?
Sure did, I think he probably soon.

Why is Gasther cheap?
It's a finite resource, we're running out of it.
Why is it cost nothing?
I don't know.
Like electricity, if I want heat my house with electricity,
compared to like, say, lighting a gas fireplace,
it'd be like a tenth of the cost to burn gas
and warm my house that way, then,
I guess I'm still using gas to heat,
but I'm also using electricity as well,
with the like central air, but I don't know.
It's just like, I don't know why it's so cheap.
Like you can leave it all in all the time.
And it's like, yeah, it's $8 bill.
What?
I've ranted about this before,
but I'm fucking hate paying my gas bill, Gavin.
You not remember this?
The fucking gas bill is the biggest scam
you have to deal with every month
because it's $20 in fees.
Even if you use zero gas in a month,
you still pay them $20.
Well, I think that's because everyone who has gas connected,
it's just leaking gas at all times.
Like you can't not have gas leaking into your house
if they are sending gas to the property.
And that's probably why they're losing gas
through everyone who's not even using it.
It is such, I hate it during the summer.
I'm like, I have you, are you looking at your gas bill,
right now, Barbara?
Because I guarantee you, it's like $20 in fees.
If you use no gas, you still have to pay them.
The minimum, you're paying them about $240 a year
just for the privilege of being able to use gas
when you want to.
It's funny because like, I didn't even think about it
until now because it's one of my lowest bills. So I don't even think about it until now because it's one of my lowest bills,
so I don't really think about it.
Yeah, right.
It's funny, get you.
You don't weigh more.
Think about it or an electricity.
And then those assholes charge you a dollar 50 convenience
fee to pay with a credit card.
Wait, really?
Yes.
When you pay them, it's an extra dollar 50
just to be able to use a credit card. Gus, do you remember when you put on the website, it's an extra $1.50 just to be able to use a credit card.
Gus, do you remember when you moved and some like the previous owner shot off your gas?
Oh, yeah.
I remember.
And you told the person on the phone that you wanted to shove everyone's gas on the street.
Yeah.
I was like, why not?
Apparently, anybody can cancel anybody's gas.
Let's just do it.
Everybody sent me that video when they found out about my gas thing.
So really? Yeah, it's a very flawed system. And to be completely clear, I was very nice to the sales rep, but I was like, your company's bullshit because like they gave us no warning and the
system's flawed. Here's the thing, all of my observations are based on living here. I realized I've never truly been an adult in my home country.
I never, I could never afford to move out of my parents' house.
I never had a car, still don't, that's all right.
I was never like a full-time employee anywhere.
I went straight from being part-time to being a freelancer.
So I missed out on all of these adult experiences and I've gone into them
all for the first time here and I actually don't really have anything to compare it to.
It might just, it might just be a Texas thing that gas is cheaper than knobs.
Yeah, I guess I've only ever paid those bills here. I've really lived here for the most
part. So I don't know. There was someone in chat here who is this Jojo Joz, 21 says, I used to check gas lines,
basically everything leaks.
Like I was a kid, like my gas stove in the kitchen is leaking.
It's just a small leak, but they all do that.
They just like spew small amounts of that shit into your house.
Do you smell it right now?
Actively? Are you okay?
No, it's not.
It's not. It's? No, it's not.
It's not that.
It's not that, but there's like certain tolerances
where they weren't fixed a leak.
Like if you do smell it, it's like,
if it's like really leaking, they'll fix it,
but if it's below a certain amount,
I've had it where they'll be like,
yeah, I mean, you know, there's no perfect seal for gas.
It's just, you'll get some.
I was like,
I'm gonna blow up the block, what do you mean? Anyways, Meg's taking a nap in the kitchen floor.
I had never used a gas stove until this place because before I've always had like electric
stoves everywhere I was. And I had to learn really quickly that like, it's a fucking flame.
So the pain is going gonna heat up immediately.
Like I'm used to like turning it on low
and like letting it heat up for a little bit
and then putting the things inside, but it's like immediate.
So everything I cooked with that stove
for the first week was like immediately burnt,
because I just can't.
I can't.
This is actually a completely unrelated tangent thing, but I did have a really funny experience
not too long ago where I was on a walk and I was picking up a to go order.
And while I was doing this, I was on the phone on a conference call about a project that
I'm working on.
And you know the dare people, like the dare, dare drugs, skies or whatever.
Well, I recently found out that those guys
aren't like the best because they're kind of like all pro
criminalization of where I wanna and like,
it's not great when you kind of really look at who they
support and stuff like that.
So they were standing out there and I have a really hard
time with talking to people that are kind of like asking
for, you know, donations and shit like that and stuff like that.
I'd always like, you know, especially during a pandemic when I'm trying to keep distance
from people.
So I was on the conference call the people and I partly did it because they, other people
are listening in, but they're like, hey, do you want to sign up for dare?
What other than that?
And I was like, no, I do drugs.
I said it really loud.
I have it.
Everyone on the carpet.
What is going on?
I was like, that's just hairy guys, you know?
God, blame why.
You could just not respond.
I mean, I made everybody the meeting last.
So I was pretty happy about it.
What's it?
Yeah, I would say so.
I'm sure what's it?
It's weird that they're still out there talking to you or trying to talk to random
strangers during a pandemic
like this when you shouldn't be doing that.
I guess what else?
Keeping their distance.
But also, like Austin, Texas, like,
I read the room, dude, like, we all, you know,
I'm sure a lot of people partake, you know,
I don't know, that's like an ancient thing.
That was like from the fucking 80s and 90s.
Like I remember that stuff when I was like a kid.
What does it even stand for again?
I completely forget.
I don't know.
Thanks for I dare you to do drugs.
Drugs are really evil.
It is.
Drug abuse, resistance, education.
Education.
Yes.
Yeah.
I mean.
They had six shirts. I'll admit. I mean, it's like, that's like one of the most iconic shirts from my youth is that black shirt with the red letters.
They dare with the little periods in between. Yeah. Anyways, they were they were offended. Did you see that the freaking radio telescope in Puerto Rico fell down? Oh, yeah, it did. That's sad.
telescope in Puerto Rico fell down. Oh, yeah, it did. That's sad. That was nuts, dude. It was like legit. It was like the end of Goldnye. They could cut the bridge in with Sean
being falling down and like, they could just cut to that drone footage. How frickin scary
was that? I feel very lucky that when I lived in Puerto Rico, that radio telescope was
pretty close to where I live. So I had a chance to visit it when I lived in Puerto Rico, that radio telescope was pretty close to where I lived.
So I had a chance to visit it when I lived down there.
Oh, really?
Yeah, so I feel like it's one of those things
you always, I guess I always expected to be there.
Like I only went once when I lived in Puerto Rico.
I was like, oh, you know, I never saw it.
Like I may as well drive down over there and check it out.
So I actually got to visit the radio telescope.
And it's crazy now that it's huge.
Like when you drive up to get to it, you drive under it.
Like that's where the road was.
And then you drive under it and then you eventually get
to like the little observatory area, I guess,
where like you can be a tourist and take pictures
and shit and there's like a gift shop there.
I'm watching now.
I was like, why was there a drone filming this
as it came down?
And I guess it just, a cable,
like internet just went weird.
Oh, I guess a cable had just snapped earlier,
like a few months ago, and then more was snapping.
And they were just like, it's going down,
and there's nothing we could do to save it.
Bro, that looks just like Golden Eye, you're totally right.
Yeah, and it's like, it looks better than golden eye,
because golden eye was a,
they made a model of it and blew it up.
It's like, to see all the cables like,
and apparently one of them sat
and like dug a big old gash through the satellite dish.
Yeah, yeah.
So there's like no salvaging that shit.
I mean, they have the pit already built,
which I'm sure is like, you know.
I guess they could throw to the battle,
but fuck. But you can imagine why they couldn't save it. Cause it's
like it's suspended, like the top is suspended over the big bowl. And it's like, if the
cable's are going, there's no real way to prop it up while they fix it. Cause it's just
hanging between three, they just have to erect a completely newer. See, that's why it
was crazy that that had a lifespan. Like you, imagine if you were just walking across it when the first cable went, you'd be
like, oh, like, what happened when they were filming there?
You would have done the piercing run.
You fucking spritz it off.
Get shut up.
There's a little front flip.
That's a cool movie.
I like that movie.
It's a fucking dope movie.
That's like the best one of the best bond movies I'd direct your kills. There's a stunt in that movie that blows my mind. I don't
see that movie like 20 times. Is it when they put the clown in the coffee? No, that was
a different movie. Was it? No, it wasn't the when he shoots when he jumps off the bridge
and then he shoots the grappling hook, right? No, my favorite stunt in that movie is where he's driving the tank and he's like just driving through buildings and stuff.
And they're like, by a river and he drives out over a car or over like some sort of Jeep.
So it like the Jeep explodes and two people come like car wheeling out of the explosion into the river.
And it's just like a real stunt where people just went flying.
There was a real explosion. They landed in a the river. And it's just like a real stunt where people just went flying. There was a real explosion.
They landed in a real river.
But it's just like, I can't imagine being one of those dudes.
It looks so dangerous.
It actually looks like a really unsafe stunt,
which I assume was very safe.
Would you ever want to be a stuntman?
I think it's time.
Whatever it would be like a...
I used to want to be a stuntman.
Really?
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
That'd be for your own.
It's still time. It's getting too. It's a very much an industry where it's like, I just don't want to be a stuntman. Really? Yeah. I didn't know that. That'd be for your eyes.
Still time.
It's getting too.
It's a very much an industry where it's like you know a guy
or like you're some guy's brother, and that's how you get in.
It's quite hard to come in as like a complete no one.
Unless you have like mad martial arts or like motorcycle
skills or something.
I mean, we worked with stunt directors, I guess
they're called like that guy from laser team.
I'm blanking on his name.
Jeff Schwann.
Yeah.
Jeff Schwann.
You got a connection there.
He's the best.
I love that guy.
That is like, he stuns for blood fest too.
Definition of salt of the earth,
just like a fucking just,
just a skit leather skin, just like real like,
you wanna grab a bruski with that guy.
You wanna be like, I wish grab a brusque with that guy. You wanna, you're like,
I wish I was related to you some.
Yeah.
You wanna go play catch with him out in the yard or something?
He's the kind of guy too who gives you like genuine eye contact
when you're talking to him.
Like it's like looking,
he's looking into your soul when he talks to you.
Shwai not only does that,
but he'll also be talking to you and be like,
you know what I mean?
It'll give you a wink and you're just like, ah, the Jeff Sean wink.
He's a great fucking guy.
He's probably done a lot of stuff with Rooster Dave.
He definitely did laser team.
He did blood fast.
I'm sure he's done some other maybe dead little roosters or sorry, 11 little roosters.
It was that little roosters trailer comes out tomorrow tomorrow.
Yeah, it is so have you I don't
know if you guys have seen it. It's so fucking good that people are gonna love that show.
My god, it is so entertaining.
I'm excited to see that. I was I'm waiting for it. I'm waiting to watch it like everyone else.
Same sees. Sorry, I'm looking at pictures of Jess Juan now.
Are you desperate for that eye contact, the little wink?
I just need it in my life.
That's just so great.
There's a great show of Mickey Rorks
slamming his head in the toilet from Sincé.
I don't know if he would agree with you on that though,
because I think Mickey Rork, like,
it was a Styrofoam toilet
and he was supposed to go through it. But then Mickey Rourke, like, it was a styrofoam toilet and he was supposed to go through it,
but then Mickey Rourke added hitting him with the toilet seat, which was not made of styrofoam.
Which was completely real.
Yeah.
So he's like, fucking Mickey Rourke.
What a dick.
Well, yeah, I imagine when you're like a stunt coordinator, you want everything to be
planned out, you know, to be as safe as possible.
Yeah, no surprises.
Yeah, I guess when people ad-libbed
during choreographed stunts,
this feeling extremely dangerous, not recommended.
They're also not like cool looking,
like an uncoordinated, like, I've been getting into,
so, corridor digital does these stuntman react videos,
and they're fucking great,
and they have like these amazing talent,
they're all the like people that are in like
Marvel movies and stuff.
And there was one video that they showed
where it was an improvised fight scene,
and it just didn't look like cool.
It was a lot more like, you know,
gritty and stuff like that,
but it was just like, it wasn't entertaining to watch.
They were just kind of following over each a bit of a funerable fight.
Like if two people start fighting in a pub,
it doesn't look like a movie.
It's a lot of this.
It's a lot of grout of it.
Not a lot of this.
And it's always one person at a time too.
It's never everybody at the same time.
That's what I love about fight scenes.
It's just like one guy will start approaching,
get his ass kicked and another guy will go off.
It's like just team up, go at the same time you idiots a
Vision that is burnt into my brain was college blame getting off of the bus coming home from six street to go to back to the co-op
And he looks across the street and he sees two frat guys one laying down like this
But his head is up and then the other one has him pinned on the arms
He has his knees on his arms and
And he's just
But don't do just like fucking land into his face and the guy still has his neck up
And he's just taking it and they're both just pissed drunk so that guy's probably not feeling any of it
But we're just watching this guy just fucking like speedbag this dude's fucking
melon over it over.
It was the most violent thing I think I've seen in person and then they both just got up
and the guy was just like fucking out of it.
Oh God.
That's pretty cool man.
Now he's now he's drunk and with a concussion.
Yep.
Did you call the cops?
What did you do?
It was like I was fucking wasted too, but in there were like really far away across Guadalupe.
So like I was like, we got you going in there and then ultimately I was just like I just
went home and had another beer. So I'm the real hero that story.
Yikes. Where'd you get a beer there?
At the co-op? The co-op. What do you mean? No co-ops were used to live.
No, I'm saying where did you get the beer? You said you went and got a beer and another beer instead.
Yeah, I had a lot of personal beer.
You're gonna live like here's the three past points.
Oh, you've got your. Yeah, I thought maybe I thought you maybe you went to like one of the bars that was over there.
Oh, no, no, no.
Do you guys miss bars.
Absolutely.
I miss bars.
I remember the awesome.
I went to this barb.
Aw.
Barb.
So.
Aw.
Right here, guys.
No, you know, I'm looking at my stupid computer.
You're Gavin. I'll pretend to be you.
That's what he would do.
That's what I would do.
I'll come anymore, be a COVID incident, wouldn't it?
It sucks because last year, I think-
And a no-oil.
The holiday party, I was just kind of like,
yeah, I'll go to this, you know, I'll dress up or whatever.
Like, I don't think I had a date,
and I was just kind of like
whatever about it.
And I just got in Dutch, so I didn't want to leave him at the
apartment. I would fucking kill for it.
Holiday party with my friends this year.
Just like the old school Rooster Teeth parties where we like rent
out of, you know, some dining hall or a bar or something.
And just like, that was a fun party though.
Like that, the space was huge.
Might be a little, might have been a little too big
because people were so straight out,
but like they had some good music playing,
people were dancing, it was a good party.
I would, I would love to go back to that night, man.
No, no, you don't want to get back
because then you have this year again.
Oh God, no.
It's true.
That's very true.
It's, it's frustrating lately for some reason
I've been thinking a lot about how we've essentially
been robbed a year and it's been making me angry.
Like you only get so many years on the world and one of them has been spent in my house.
I mean, that's so much better than like World War II.
Right, there are worse places to be, there are worse things to live through, but it's so
dumb Gavin, that's the thing.
It's like, oh, we can't go outside
because we're all gonna get sick
or we might make other people sick
or other people die.
There's not an overarching war.
There's not people in the front lines fighting each other.
Somewhere else, here, it's just like,
oh, you can't go outside otherwise
your parents and your grandparents are gonna die.
I feel like you're onto something, Gus.
This year should not count whatsoever.
Like no one should have aged this year.
I think January 1st should be 2020.
Let's redo it.
2022.
Let's redo it.
Let's pretend this never happened.
2020 hyphen, too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I just took, you, you, you, we all lost a year.
We're going to devil's advocate it.
It could have been so much worse and we're all still able to what it could have been
worse.
It could have.
It's true, but still I'm going to devil's shit in the grand scheme.
But I could have it.
So it could have been COVID kills everyone who gets it.
It could have been that level of bad.
Yeah.
I picked up a whole new skill set with like gameplay and streaming and all that bullshit
and podcasting from my home. So I've become a whole new skill set with like gameplay and streaming and all that bullshit and podcasting from my home
So I've become a much more independent person and then also like I feel like now
I'm going to value the fuck out of social encounters and I'm probably never gonna turn down an invite and
That I probably would have been like the same as
I bet I bet you will turn down and invite to something
within a month of getting the vaccine.
I have never turned down and invite from you, Gavin.
It's always been a scheduling of the facility.
Some Gavin necessarily, but anybody, rather.
No, I make an effort.
I don't think we should be having all these high hopes
for 2021.
I think 2022 for sure
But 2021, you know, we got a ramp back up
We can't have a 2021 is gonna be a lot of like getting back to normal and then probably it's gonna take the whole year for that to happen
at least take off the dust
we got
Get people injected with shit. I have a whole video plan for New Year's Eve.
There's a lot of industries and companies and businesses that have been shut down because
of COVID.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
I'm sorry, Barbara.
They're running about going to talk about, go ahead.
Yeah, I'm just going to say like it's going to be interesting to see if or when those come
back, you know,
because like I were thinking of like even movie theaters and depending on how long this
goes on for like they're getting pretty affected.
And I know like Warner Brothers talked about putting all their movies for 2021 on the HBO
Max app.
And so it's like, which is crazy.
Is that the beginning of theaters like kind of dying permanently or like, would they come
back eventually?
How does that work? How long will that take?
I think we'll just see an evolution in theaters. I think they're going to they'll just change.
They won't be giants in a plexus that we used to have just showing, you know, movies all
the time. But I'm glad you mentioned that because that's something I wanted to talk about
last week was that in order to try to like help keep the Alamo draft house a float,
Tim League has put a bunch of his movie poster collection up for sale. There's an auction going
on right now through December 13th. And how many there's 2,337 items that they're auctioning off.
It is some raised money for the draft house. I have, I think I looked at my list, I have 170
things bookmarked that I like and that I want.
But it's like, I'm not going to be able to buy all of them.
What's the website?
It's at emovieposture.com.
It's kind of in convenient.
You have to register for an account
before you can look at a lot of them.
And it takes a little while.
So if you're into movie posters or art related to movies, you
should go check it out. There is some amazing stuff in there.
And full disclosure, this is not an advertisement. We just fucking love the Alamo draft house.
And I think it's the best theater chain I've ever been to. And I really don't want them
to be hurt by this because it's also such a big part of Austin. It's a huge part of
Austin. Tim leagues a pretty cool guy. I don't know how, but for some reason I was a holiday party of his like four or five years ago.
And his whole house is just like a movie museum.
There was just like shit from like props and movie posters and all sorts of cool stuff like all over the place.
Whoever he was wearing a red velvet to own the coolest movie prop to own.
I mentioned something in Star Wars, right? He was wearing a red velvet to own the coolest movie prop to own
I mentioned something can start words right? I mean for me. I yeah
I gotta get a kick you back to you on that. I don't know man
It probably be a vehicle right? I
Think the I think the coolest movie prop the warian for, for me, to own, would be the red eye of Hal 2000 from 2001.
That's the right one.
That's the right one.
That would be so subtle and so understated, but such a fucking iconic prop.
I would honestly, it's along the lines of what we talked about.
I'd probably choose the pen grenade from God and I.
Interesting.
There's an SMART and DB5 from the Gold Finger.
There's a great poster that I sent to Blaine.
I think my favorite poster, out of all the ones that they're auctioning, it's a movie poster
for Die Hard. It's a movie poster for Die Hard.
It's a Japanese text on it.
And it looks like it's a Nakatomi plausible building,
but it's also a gun.
And like the helicopter landing pad
is the barrel of the gun.
It is, I slacked it to you, Gavin, if you're curious about it.
But it is such a fucking cool poster.
It's currently going for $400.
Not every time all the options
are going super expensive like that.
That's Ali Moss.
Yeah.
Oh, that's bad ass.
Yeah.
We have a ton of really, really cool stuff.
Yeah, I have some of that guys art.
In a turn, he got me some for Christmas,
like seven years ago, little
I want to say there were like game of Thrones sketches or something.
I feel like I want like the flux capacitor or something.
Oh, that's a good one.
Like something that's like you could display in your house or something like that.
I feel like that's a good size.
Or like the mask that Jim Carrey finds at the bottom of the water.
Oh, like that.
The mask from the bottom.
The mask, yeah.
That's an obscure one.
That's funny.
That's like one of my favorite movies.
Yeah.
Or something from that.
That's a lovely thing, good day.
It looks like the side of a pirate ship.
Yeah.
It's not very pretty.
Or like something from one of the Avengers movie,
I think would be pretty cool.
Like Captain America's Shield or Iron Man's helmet,
something like that with that.
I mean, seriously.
Yeah, I think as they don't exist really,
I guess the shield is real.
I guess they have like a bunch of them.
Yeah.
Yeah, but there's no like one thing, you know,
it's even like a bunch of like for specific shots,
or it's mainly CG, this is an all take anything.
This is no like one Luke Skywalker lightsaber.
I'll take anything that has touched Chris Evans.
Whether it's the official thing or not.
His broken shield would be pretty fucking rad.
Oh, that would be good.
Or Thor's hammer.
Oh, that'd be cool.
Yeah, a Thor hammer would be pretty cool.
Even Captain America's hammer. Ooh, that'd be cool. Yeah, a Thor hammer would be pretty cool.
You mean Captain America's hammer?
Oh, shit.
Controversial.
All right, well let's wrap this up.
And I just realized I, I, I, I, I, I, I said hell 2000.
I meant hell 9000.
I don't want people calling me out in the fucking comments.
Flux run.
Because I said the wrong thing.
I, I realized it after I said it.
I'm scared Steve. All right, well, let's wrap this up.
Thanks everyone for watching.
We'll see you guys again next week.
Take care.
Bye.
