What are your favorites?
Do you like the ones with the original cast with Bernie here?
Do you like the rotating cast?
I like rotating.
Hell yeah.
Sorry.
Sorry, Bernie.
He's not watching this.
Jessica just wanted to know if you like to.
Don't speak for me now.
I like having new people, new ideas, new points of view.
For sure, for sure.
I love when Jessica's on the podcast.
New year's overseas.
Jessica just makes me happy.
That's, I really appreciate it.
You're such a lovely person.
I appreciate that.
Jessica, I've discovered it's the only person in your office.
Whenever we go over there to screw around, smash stuff up.
Jessica's there all the time.
Everyone else is always gone and there's no one to mess with
That speaks volumes, doesn't it? It does. Jessica's the hardest worker.
Absolutely. I think yeah, I
Were kind of all over the place all the time. I think it's because people are filming so much things all over and like in meetings
I've been meetings every hour of the day at this point.
Um, if I'm not... How do you feel about that? Um, not great. I would, I would enjoy less meetings in my life.
Maybe just, maybe just a few less. Just delegate them. Delegate my meetings. Yeah.
Okay. Just have someone who just goes to your meetings and takes notes.
Gavin, are you volunteering? I will do that one time.
You can use me on one meeting per year. Deal. That is a verbal agreement.
It's saving a lot of time. I'm going to pay four hour meetings.
Yeah, that I have. It can't be four hours. What means four hours?
I'm in interest meeting, right? Yes. I've been in like three, four hour meetings this year.
I'm going to go into an off-site.
What's your maximum hour spent in a meeting?
For this, for a bar.
90 minutes.
Okay, you have a 90 minute meeting you can pawn off on him.
Can she take three, 30 minute meetings?
It's one meeting.
One meeting.
It's one meeting.
There's so many rules to this.
He's like offering you something,
but yeah, there's like a million rules to do.
Yeah, just give one more.
Just give one, what shouldn't the rule is? All like a million rules to do. Just get one more. Just get one. What should the rule be?
All right, just go watch it.
Go watch it.
Go watch it.
Go watch it.
Go watch it.
Go watch it.
Sparkery.
No.
You don't really have to.
Sparkery.
You're really good.
Oh, no.
Those times where you forget, you're like, there's a song camera.
And someone in the chat just said, just getting Gavin works so well in the podcast together.
That's a real, real, real, real thing. And that's a real, real thing. They are. And someone in the chat just said Jessica and Gavin work so well in the podcast together
And then there's one saying what does Jessica do?
What does Jessica do everything?
The office and defense it from a team and a hundred or really what Gavin meant by saying that it's like just because always in the office Can't it be somebody else that gives like better reactions and videos?
No, you give great reactions
We just can't have videos where we just go and see you
and then come back.
It should just be called like,
Shenanigans featuring Jessica.
I saw you.
I was there.
Yo, yo, we're doing some messing around.
You're, because you're sneaky.
You're kind of hidden though.
Yeah.
I'm like right by the door.
Yeah, but it's not easy to, at a first glance,
when you're just peeking into offices to see if you're there,
you have to like really loop around. People always are looking in there. I don't like I'll be typing or doing something
I'll see like a shadow like looking and then leave real fast like what the fuck was that or be Chris jumpin?
Yeah, or Chris jumps in for some reason
Um, I don't I think we could talk about it because I think you guys tease the fact it was coming back, but versus is coming back
Um, it's a Chima hunter versus Rooster Teeth and we've already filmed I think you guys teased the fact it was coming back, but versus is coming back.
It's a Chima Hunter versus Ruchitith, and we've already filmed, I think, a couple episodes.
But I think I premiered this week.
But once I've seen her so funny,
if you have a fucking heard the news yet,
I think they announced at the end of Let's Roll, I wanna say.
Oh yeah, because Let's Roll's taking a little break.
Taking a little break in versus is coming back. I'm very excited.
Yeah.
Have you competed yet, Gavin?
No.
Well, I just want to get filmed this morning.
Mm-hmm.
It was pretty funny.
Yeah, well, do we know when that's coming back?
I think it's this week.
Is it this week?
Okay.
Should be interesting.
I wanted to.
It's only we had someone from Achima Hunter here to confirm it.
Can I bet you about something?
Yeah.
I wanted to take part in one of these things.
Yeah, I think the one today.
Yes, but they wouldn't make a special dietary exception
for me.
Because your vegan now makes the vegan right.
They wouldn't change it.
They were like, Gus will be at it.
Great. And then they were like, they're like, Gus will be at it. Great.
And then they were like, how vegan are you?
I said, I'm not gonna eat anything that's not plan big.
And then they were like, how vegan are you?
And they were like, okay, never mind.
We'll find someone else.
I was like, you can.
Well, how much stuff was like vegan?
I also, knowing what they used today.
That's why I asked in the meeting, that's why I said,
what was there?
What was there?
I said, it would have taken based on what I've seen.
One or two seconds to slightly alter it.
Right.
So I was kind of offended that they wouldn't make
the fucking change so I could be in it.
What makes me think that they probably already went
shopping and probably would have had to like make
a separate trip.
No, they could have just used more of some stuff.
Right, they can other stuff out.
Also, what's the most important thing?
What's the most important thing?
What's your see the video?
I think everything that they used was.
No.
There were two things that weren't.
Are marshmallows vegan?
No.
Oh, god.
What's in that?
This isn't going to spoil anything about it.
It's like gelatin, I think.
Same thing in the gummy bears.
You wouldn't have had to swallow it, though, would you?
Good question.
I just put it in your mouth.
I don't know.
Also, what is gelatin made out of again?
Thanks, Pains.
That's right, yeah.
Gus, who wouldn't accommodate you?
Like name names.
What's it?
Trevor.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Whoa.
I'll talk to him.
I love it.
I mean, I'm in a chat with him.
I'll have a chat.
Okay, can I call more people out?
Can I go in the airing grievances part of the podcast?
Yes!
Confertation Corner.
Oh, shit.
Well, a little plug.
You could watch Conflict Corner on RT and Bugs
every Saturday and Sunday.
Confertation Corner on Monday.
Confertation Corner on Friday.
Confertation Corner on Monday.
I'm not a shit.
Man, I got it.
I got it anyway last week.
Let's hear it Gus.
Who do you hate? Okay.
Don't hate anybody. I'm just frustrated at the process.
What did Chris do? No, it was.
So last week we had the podcast and someone said they had a very infectious
laughter. And I made the joke that it was the coronavirus of less.
and I made the joke that it was the coronavirus of laughs.
So we wanted to name the last week's podcast, the coronavirus of laughs,
but certain people didn't want us to name it that.
And frankly, honestly, I didn't care what we called it
until I started hearing, no, you can't call it that.
And then I was like, oh, we're definitely calling it that.
Sarah, why didn't you want him to call that?
Oh, no, no.
Evan, I was on the side of call it that.
Absolutely.
So who else matters?
I mean, you want me to guess?
No, no, no, no.
It's fine.
So it was like, it's just whole thing where it's like,
I had to go back and forth with several different people
and be like, no, let's just call it that.
Well, let's hear him.
Let's hear the names.
I'm not, I'm, they know who they are.
Are they around here now? No. I'm not, I'm thinking of who they are.
Are they around here now?
No.
Think so?
No.
No.
I, to be fair, to play devil's advocate for this person.
But I feel like, obviously, coronavirus
is a very serious thing.
Everything that has come with it and the repercussions of it. And I think ultimately it's
better to err on the side of safety when it's when we're naming things and doing things
on social media, which I get because there are some sensitivities to certain things.
But we weren't making light of it. Exactly. I think also like it's very important to know
the context for it, which is a little
weird with titling sometimes because not everyone knows the context before he put it out.
And then what I think, what my kind of argument would have been, it was like, if I had said
it was the malaria of laughs or the influenza of laughs, like nobody would care.
And we go, yeah, those people kill more.
Right, those kill way more people.
Yeah, influenza kills so many people.
Right. What is that? For years. 18,000 or something. people. It's like influenza kills so many people. Right.
18,000 or something.
I think it's more.
It's like 21,000 in the year.
Oh, it's a lot.
It's way more than I thought it was.
Yeah.
And I haven't gotten my flu shot yet this year.
They've been lost to you.
I think I think it's a new one every year.
Okay.
The flu 10,000 people have died and 180,000 people
have been hospitalized.
This year?
For this flu season.
Well, just the season.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a lot.
But anyway, I won the argument.
I did win, but I thought,
I thought, what?
Was it Chad?
Was it Chad?
Yes.
Oh my God.
I knew it was going to get to the next day.
Damn. I felt like, I felt like. gonna get in and say, damn.
I felt like, I felt like.
He was just trying to protect his channel.
I can't.
He was, the people who were working on that
just didn't want like a negative feedback,
negative comments on different social media
and video platforms.
And I get that.
But it's like, our audience would appreciate
that kind of a sense of humor.
And I'm trying to do things that appeal to our audience.
I know, of course, there were,
in the office, the office, the office.
And doing it the way you want to do it.
Right, in the opposition's defense,
there were negative comments.
But all of those, all the negative comments I felt
like happened as soon as the video was posted.
Like those people who didn't watch it,
like you're talking about context matters.
And then after people had watched it,
then the reply started coming, like, oh, it's exactly like I did. Well, it's And then like after people had watched it, then the reply started coming like,
oh, it's exactly like.
Well, it's also the pit like, especially this company,
we shouldn't be afraid to joke about things.
Yeah.
You got some very quiet, quiet applause.
Tell us to Edward Stockwell.
Jeez.
Vigit spinner.
Jeez.
That was a great moment in R.T. history. I don't know that, my mom. I don't know either. No. I don't know that, man. I don't know either. I didn't want to fake laugh and just be like, I want to be a part of everything.
No.
Making light of a bad situation using a fidget spinner.
Yeah.
Oh, the community knows, I'm sure.
We shouldn't be afraid to make jokes that are funny and not in bad taste.
How about that?
Right.
And context matters.
Context does matter.
Okay.
So if you want to make a video, you and not in bad taste. How about that?
Right.
And context matters.
Context does matter.
So if you watched our stuff and know what context is and you could be a voice for the
community of people who don't understand the context, good job.
Thank you for doing that.
Yeah.
Thanks for, thanks for still liking us even though.
Thanks for fighting for us.
We're awful pieces of junk.
I'm a human piece of garbage over here.
Man, that reminds me of something.
Coronavirus?
Yeah, coronavirus reminds me of something actually.
This is like Gus's best session.
Yeah, this isn't the best session.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, it's been going on for 11 years now.
On Friday night, Esther and I were sitting around and we were like, I think we're watching the news or something and there's like something about
coronavirus outbreak and whatnot and Esther turns to me and says,
you know, I bet you could probably fly to Shanghai really cheap right now.
And I said, you're probably right.
So I started looking it up and you could fly from Austin to Shanghai
round trip for $550.
And I was like,
but aren't they on lockdown?
Isn't like aren't all flights at internet of China
on lockdown?
From some US carriers.
We'd have to fly to like Tokyo
and then take like a Chinese-based airline
over to Shanghai or like just get to stop somewhere.
It's cheaper actually just to jump in front of traffic.
You don't actually have to go anywhere.
I was like, how interesting would it be?
Because like, it's, it's, I wish you would
be to see something like this where, you know,
it's obviously happening and like, the city is relatively empty
because people are staying inside and to go around and like,
try to document that.
And then that, they would be like, they would be,
then there was like this whole thing, like, maybe there's a
possibility of when trying to re-enter the US, depending on where where you went you might have to be in quarantine for up to 14 days
I thought how interesting would that be the document?
I knew that you were gonna be get excited to be quarantined
Right, you're just gonna be this so fun
That'd be interesting, but two weeks though. I mean obviously not but you could make an interesting 10 minute video out of it
Would it be worth it in the end? I think so.
Have you just spent two weeks to make a 10 minute video?
That's pretty nice.
It did a lot of views.
Yeah, a real one.
It did a lot of views.
It did a lot of views.
That's the key thing here.
Usually viral point.
Hey Jessica, do you want to take Gus's desk when he dies?
That means I have to say with Todd's own neck.
Yeah.
Just slamming you with the five.
I said it was marial now, so that's not much better, but uh, you always got the office
to yourself.
Yeah.
But anyway, we didn't go.
We seriously, we seriously talked about it.
How much was the light?
$553.
That is very cheap.
That's very cheap.
Like, that's a round trip.
That's a round trip.
The little giant tip to get to China.
It's like how...
And then to film it and experience that...
You could pay $553 to get coronavirus.
No!
I think a lot of the...
It's a lot of sensationalized.
I think obviously it's an illness people catching it.
I also look at those numbers, like it...
They keep publicizing the amount of people
who've died from the virus and stuff like that.
But when I think about that, it's often times when they publish those numbers, it's people who are already unwell, who've caught it, or like the elderly, or people who are just generally have a poor immune system or whatever it is.
It's not a typical, oh, if you get it, you're going to die.
It's the same with the flu, like typically people who die from it
are already unwell or older, whatever it is.
That's the way we were thinking about it.
It's just like a worse version of the flu.
Right.
So anyway, we decided not to go.
Why did you decide not to do it?
There was too many questionable variables.
Like how long would we board the docs?
Like if we boarded the docs for a trip,
but then got quarantined, you know what would happen
There's all these other like all this other like it's so right variable the dog is not in quarantine and the owner is
It's cheap. I don't know if you still can get that like some of the US
Airlines have stopped flying there. So yeah, like I said you'd have to connect somewhere It would definitely be a pain in the ass to get there and back. So it would, like I said, you'd have to connect somewhere.
It would definitely be a pain in the ass to get there and back,
but it would be possible.
I think, I don't remember now, but I think the one I looked at was
flying to Tokyo via American Airlines.
I was gonna say what airlines?
And then China Eastern Airlines from Tokyo to Shanghai.
Someone in the chat said, hashtag sendchat to China.
Oh, why?
Yeah.
Nope.
Well, now that would be a coronavirus of last.
Stop.
We're going to have to cut everything I say this old ball.
Yes, it's because I'm hopped up on day cool.
Are you sick?
Yeah.
Can you not hear it?
I can hear it.
Yeah, I sound not good. You sound better than you did this morning. Yeah. Can you not hear it? I can hear it. Yeah, I sound not good.
You sounded better than you did this morning.
Yeah, that's true.
But yeah, I can still hear it.
A couple days ago, I sounded like I was going through puberty.
What's that?
And like a really not sexy way.
Oh, okay.
His puberty is normally really sexy.
Very sexy.
So it's it.
Yeah.
It's the sexiest of ages.
No, don't do not. Oh, good job.
I'm not talking.
I'm not calling to support, I guess that.
PeerBity is the sexiest of ages.
Oh, man, gots her all a 2020.
Yeah, good.
Good to shine.
Good to shine.
Good to have so hard for a few weeks.
This episode of the Received Podcast is brought to you by ExpressVPN.
There's tons of VPN providers out there.
You've probably heard of a couple of them.
Some you may have even used to VPN before. I like to do my research before.
I recommend any sponsors and I can say that ExpressVPN is the fastest VPN I've ever used.
I've tried lots of VPNs in the past. You know, many slow down your connection or make your device sluggish.
I've been using ExpressVPN for months. My internet speeds are blazing fast.
Even when I connect to server thousands of miles away,
I can still stream HD quality videos with zero lag.
ExpressVPN also doesn't log your data.
Lots of really cheap or free VPNs make money
by selling your data to add companies,
ExpressVPN developer technology called Trusted Server,
that makes it impossible for their servers
to log any of your info.
The last thing that really sets ExpressVPN apart
from other VPNs is how easy it is to use. Unlike other VPNs, you don't have to input or
program anything. You just fire up the app, click one button to connect, it's so easy.
I bet even your grandparents could use it. And it's not just me who says this,
your tech radar, the verge, CNET, many other tech experts rate ExpressVPN, the
number one VPN in the world. So protect yourself with the VPN that I use and trust.

Big thanks to expressvpn for sponsoring
this episode of Receive Podcast.
It's a quality product.
Just check it out.
I've been into arguing with people
into it recently. You've seen it in a, I've noticed that. It's because I went. You should check it out. I've been into arguing with people on Twitter recently.
You've seen any of that?
I've noticed that.
It's because I went to England and I just don't have any work
to do that.
I thought everyone's too polite.
Like nobody's arguing with you there.
So you have to argue on the internet.
I've discovered the worst thing about arguments on Twitter
is that I'll say something.
People will argue with me.
It's fine.
But people will mis with me. It's fine. But people will
misinterpret why I'm arguing and come to my defense over the
wrong thing. So then I end up arguing with the people who are
defending me more than the people I'm arguing with. And I'm just
arguing with every single person. Like there's no side that
aligns with you, you're just arguing with every side. Yeah. And
it's just getting educated about,
a lot of Americans telling me how the immigration system works here.
You mean the Americans who were born here and have no idea,
actually, how?
How the NHS works.
So, what is happening right now?
If you buy your green card yet,
or sorry, did you buy your citizen's shipping?
You know, they've sold out.
Oh.
So, that was one of the tweets where I was like,
oh, I just listed to someone who doesn't know
anything about my situation.
Then people were saying, oh, they were only asking a question.
And I was like, well, the question wasn't the bit
that I'm arguing with.
It's the point where they said that I could already
get a citizenship.
Right.
Because I already been on a green card long enough.
That part's not true.
That was the part I was yelling about.
But then everyone was like, oh, you shouldn't ever
ask him about his citizenship. It's private. I was like, no, it's fine. That part's not true, that was the part I was yelling about. But then everyone's like, oh, you shouldn't ever ask him
about his citizenship, it's private.
I was like, no, it's fine, that part's fine.
You'd stop it, you'd stop putting, everyone's insane.
Like people are coming to your defense.
Yeah, but put the wrong bit.
Put the wrong bit, yeah.
Also, like people have been arguing with you
about like every tweet you've been making.
Yeah, it's because I've been firing back.
Because usually I don't care and I don't have the time to do it, but I just had some free time. because I've been firing back. Because usually I don't care,
and I don't have the time to do it,
but I just had some free time.
And I've discovered now, that's why I'm like
when I have free time, I'm just unprepared
to listen to bullshit fired at me
because most of it's wrong.
And you're responding to it.
I even messaged you and asked,
I was like, hey, buddy, are you okay?
It was just such a behavior that's very...
Yeah, you were texting texting a lot of people,
like, I just calmed down, stuck in, rolled up.
And I was like, I'm not like annoyed or riled up.
I'm just like calmly tweeting in my English living room.
It's just you.
Were you doing a drink in a spot of tea at the same time?
I'm not there, like, I'm just, it was more funny.
It was quite entertaining.
I'm not gonna make a full-time thing about that.
You tweeted some technical problems you were having.
Oh yeah, that was one of the things I was dealing with.
And then I texted you, I prefaced my text to you with,
do you want unsolicited advice for your problem?
And you'll put just like a little thing.
My problem was I had a Mac Pro from 2010 without a hard drive.
So I bought a hard drive for it, put it in.
And I thought there was like a recovery partition
or like an internet thing you can do
to just download the operating system,
but it just wasn't working.
So to get an operating system on that
is very difficult because it can't run
the latest operating system,
which is Catalina, Macau.
It's fucking final.
The Catalina wine mixer, what was that thing from step-brothers? Yeah, the fucking Catalina, Macau. The Catalina Wine Mixer.
What was that thing for the step-brothers?
Yeah, the fucking Catalina Wine Mixer.
Fucking Catalina Wine.
Yeah.
So high Sierra is the latest thing I can call on that.
But getting hold of that is very difficult when you're so,
I can't even be asked to explain it.
I had to jump through some hoops.
I had to downgrade my own laptop.
I didn't even know you could downgrade.
That's crazy. I had to downgrade it once laptop. Which I didn't even know you could downgrade. That's crazy.
I didn't even know.
I didn't even know.
So I could then get access to an operating system
that was too down from that.
Then I made a bootable USB, then I shoved in.
I got that shit done.
It took me, it took me about 11 hours.
Oh my God.
Trouble shooting and just not getting it.
Your explanation to me via text is so fucking long.
Yeah, right?
I mean, you're the only person I typed it to.
And I was like, you might have had to deal with that.
Yeah, I read it and I was like,
trying to think if there's another way to do it.
I was like, no, this was the best way to do it.
You've given your situation.
Yeah.
If you ever want unsolicited advice,
bring up something tech-related
or post a video of yourself working out.
Or post a picture of any temperature that you're experiencing.
Oh, God. Yeah. It's always colder or hotter somewhere else.
Is it really just like posting anything in general? You'll just get unsolicited advice.
Yeah, you're right. Okay, thank you. I mean, sometimes it's helpful.
Is it? I feel like I've been helped out by Twitter before.
Oh, yeah.
You have to really sort through a lot though. Like even if you're asking a very direct question,
you're asking for help.
There's a lot of, oh, I don't know.
Oh, I'm gonna use the internet right now for help.
We're trying to think about a name for,
we wanna do more like board games and fun challenges
and stuff over with Rooster Teeth.
And we're trying to think of a name for that series.
So we have a couple ideas thrown around,
but if you guys in the chat or in the comments
of this podcast have ideas,
we'd love to hear from the community.
Usually they're good at-
Yeah, they're all types of games.
They're not just board games.
They're like any type of game
could be like a field day outside
or something playing games.
We came up with a great one,
but then we realized someone else
was using something similar.
Yeah.
It was so good.
Can we say it?
Can we?
Yeah, we want.
All right, it was Game Bang.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh.
In the meeting, anytime I would say,
I kept alternating between saying Game Bang and Game Bang.
I thought you were.
I was like, I swear to God, I'm in game.
I want to be true to her, so being said,
it's very hard to tell if you're saying game bang or game bang.
You can tell the difference now.
Oh, you know.
Oh yeah.
Time for Gays, do you have time this week for game bang?
Always for your Jessica.
Yeah.
Oh man.
Oh my God, I'm crying.
Oh, Chris is over there.
Chris was in this conversation as well.
You guys think he's over there?
Yeah.
That's cool.
Did you end up listening?
Did you end up stealing any of his ice cream?
No, I didn't, but I will now, for sure.
I thought you were ice cream.
I thought you were ice cream.
What was up?
So, you know, last, one of the times recently when Chris was on the podcast, he talked about
how he eats a pint of ice cream every day before he goes to bed.
Was it a whole pint?
Is it really a whole pint, Chris? No, I always. No, I just said he of ice cream every day before he goes to bed. Was it a whole pint? Is it really a whole pint, Chris?
No, always.
No, I just said he had ice cream every night.
It's on the side, Gar.
Get in there, Chris.
If you're going to eat my pizza, get on the side, Gar.
I don't know.
I only see the whole pint.
I always eat ice cream.
So since he said he eats ice cream every night
before he goes to bed, there's a vegan ice cream place,
not too far from here.
So I went and bought him some pints of vegan ice cream
so that he could try him out.
And so I bought him for him last week sometime.
And about three different things.
I asked him what his favorite kind of ice cream was
and I tried to buy him comparable ones.
And being the asshole that he is,
like two days went by and he said nothing about it.
So finally I went up to him, I was like,
Chris have you tried the ice cream?
It was really good.
That's what he said. I was like, I expected you to let me know when you tried it. So finally I went up to him, I was like, Chris, have you tried the ice cream? It was really good. That's what he said. I was like, I expected you to let me know when I,
when you tried it. I've been over here waiting. Sorry. It was really good. Peanut butter was really good.
That makes a sound like you've got nothing going on with your life except for waiting. I spent
Chris's vote. I spent a lot of money buying him this fucking vegan ice cream. And it's like.
But also there's three in our refrigerator.
Did you take them home
or you just kind of eat them little bites at work?
No, I was gonna eat them at work.
Cause,
Oh, it's work ice cream, so not before bed, work ice cream.
So you have two ice creams, work ice cream,
and hold my screen.
Okay, hold my screen.
Okay.
I mean, I could take them,
but then I figured people might wanna try it.
Oh.
But you didn't tell anyone that.
Oh, okay.
You were also just sick, weren't you?
Well, but I scooped out into a bowl.
Oh, okay.
I made a point to do that.
Good, good.
That's smart.
Good boy, Chris.
That's a good boy.
What flavor is worthy?
It was like peanut butter chocolate.
Yeah, and then there's a chocolate mint.
Chocolate?
And then the chocolate.
So it was made with like almond milk. A chocolate, and then the chocolate.
So is it made with almond milk?
But all the Dutch metal by chocolate.
That's right.
What are they put in chocolate to make it vegan?
I mean, chocolate by itself is vegan.
You just can't add the milk.
Like you can add milk chocolate.
Yeah, just cacao.
Right, just cacao.
Just cacao.
Mm-hmm.
But so in this one is almond milk, coconut milk?
I think they're different kinds.
They have all different kinds.
I don't know which ones, those specifically those three are.
But Drew made an industry point.
So when we're having that meeting talking about
show ideas earlier, I have a pint of ice cream
from the freezer as well.
I eat out of it like an animal.
I saw you today doing that.
I was eating out of it and Drew looked at the container
and he said, there's no nutrition information on this.
Interesting.
And I said, what?
And I looked at it, I'd never noticed that.
There's zero nutrition information on it. Is it like a multi-pack? No. It was like, what? And I looked at it, I'd never noticed that. There's zero nutrition
information on it. Is it like a multi pack that has, uh, it was like a single pint that
I bought. It's on the inside of the lid. No, there's no one interested. Is this even a
proof or sale? Like can you eat this surely not legal? It was directly from the manufacturer.
There's nothing on it. When you bought it at the store, right? So I went to their website
to see I was like,
surely they have nutrition information on their website. They don't. So now I'm worried. Yeah,
you should be absolutely. You're gonna know. I don't know. I mean, they have ingredients on it.
They just don't tell you like, okay, then nutrition information breakdown or how many calories are in it.
Chris, what's the weirdest thing you think you eat on a regular basis? The weirdest thing I
don't read. You stay so thin. Like Like the fact that you eat ice cream every day,
I think is a little odd.
I don't think it's that weird though.
It's definitely not typical.
It's odd but not weird.
I drink a baby pdolite a lot.
Oh my God Chris.
Why?
You're so cute.
Do you really?
It's good for you isn't it?
It's a hydrating thing.
If ever I'm like, Are you dehydrated a lot? Well, for you, isn't it? It's a hydrating thing. If ever I'm like,
Are you dehydrated a lot?
Well, it's like, it's a hangover thing.
Are you hungover a lot?
Oh, for sure.
You go on every week.
So I don't be hungover.
What?
If you go out drink and then the next morning
you're dehydrated, that's part of what gives you a hangover.
So I'll chuck a bunch of the baby's,
the pedea light.
Does that think it's the babies whenever they throw up?
But babies are never hungover.
No, pedea light. But it's a hydrating thing they throw up. But babies are never home. I mean, yeah, pedea light.
Right.
But it's a hydrating thing.
And it hydrates you.
So I'll chuck a bunch of that.
Do you know what?
All those really good at hydrating you?
Water.
Water.
I drink that too.
But it didn't have electrolytes.
It's a lot cheaper.
Well, that would get your aid and stuff.
But this is like supergatorade.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, it's so good to give it to baby athletes.
I have, I do drink peteolite.
Also, when I know drinking is involved
because I'm definitely afraid of any sort of pain
over there.
You're gonna need that on Thursday.
Oh God, that's right.
Off topic.
What's the name of this stuff?
Peteolite.
Has a lot of electrolytes in it.
It's like peteotrition.
So why don't you call it pet deliolite?
Pet delite.
Why do we call it peddler?
Peddler?
He's us.
I'm not a full peddler.
I'm just a peddler.
I'm just a peddler.
God damn it.
Is that the title?
Yeah.
Where's the screen shot of his face?
Don't put me in that.
Don't put me in that.
Don't put me in that.
Are you saying two different words?
Peddler, peddler, light.
Cause I say pedophile, but you say pedophile. No, these are two definitely two different words. PDL, PDL light. Cause you say, cause I say pedophile, but you say pedophile.
No, these are two definitely two different words.
Pedophile, I'm not sure where the words are the pre-file.
I say pedophile.
Pedophile.
Wait, how do you say it Gavin?
Pedophile.
How do you spell this word that you'll say?
PDO.
Can you bring it?
I.
I.
I.
I.
I. I. I. I. I. I think yeah, okay, so it's the same bit you'll just pronounce it two different ways depending on the word pedophile
What pet pedeolite is pede I ate okay?
Pedeo for pedophile aluminum
I ate for pedeol
Okay, we also spell it differently so relevant's irrelevant. You all do like PAED?
Yeah.
Paid file.
I shouldn't be here.
Lane wants to say something.
What are you going to do?
How do you say pet filial?
I'm not going to get into that conversation.
On the topic of Chris's dietary habits,
he carries around snacks and his backpacks sometimes.
Oh, Chris and I have been collaborating
on a project recently,
so he's been in my office a lot.
I feel like all of your recent tweets are about
how you've had to deal with Chris
for an extended period of time.
I swear to God, we're fucking married.
So like, he was in there recently in Dutch
who's jumping on the set now. His in my office as well, we share fucking married. So like, he was in there recently and Dutch, he was jumping on the set now,
his in my office as well, we share an office together.
Oh God.
And Dutch, I walk in and he was chewing on a container
of like these Japanese like pocket sticks with dip.
There's something on them, don't they?
Huh?
Don't they have chocolate on them?
No, there's a vanilla.
Okay.
And I started.
Like Jan Jan or something.
I yank him out because he got him through
at least over half of the whole container.
And I yelled at Chris and I was like,
why the fuck did you leave food in my office?
And then he started getting mad and accusing Dutch
of breaking into his backpack and taking his snacks from him.
And I was like, he's a dog.
Anyways, we yelled a lot and I think in our next inbox
in the conflict corner, There's gonna be a segment
Yeah, I think we're I think Chad started filming it
Well, you have to have context for this too. There's already been two or three conflict corners where people have yelled at Chris for leaving his
Bucking backpack on the floor.
Yep.
And then he left his backpack on the floor in a different office and so fucking Dutch
and gets into the back back.
So who's fault is it Chris?
It's shared between me and Dutch.
Oh, he's a dog.
He's an innocent, evil dog.
He doesn't know any better.
He's asking for pizza now.
He's sitting there.
That's a good dog. He is
I enjoy playing makes some good dog content
Like the mud rolling around that was the best video
Why does he have one little pop?
I know
I bet you I bet it's conflict corner in the inbox video. Yeah
The segment we do on it. We have a couple of their contents. want their content? Yeah, I haven't watched the inbox show yet.
Although, if that was a different show,
just about conflict, I'd watch that.
Well, maybe we're using inbox to test it out.
Get it off.
Yeah.
I think we just have to be meaner to each other
to get more content.
We're constantly doing each other.
When was this?
On Friday, Blaine sent me the same sentence written
two different ways.
Oh my God.
And this was after her yelling match.
Oh my god, they had just yelled for like 30 minutes.
Like he sent me these two sentences and wrote which reads correctly.
This one or this one.
Chris and I will have killed each other by the end of today.
So I made my decision.
And then immediately both of them came running into my office to like argue their points.
And then Jessica just happened to be there at the time.
So they're asking Todd, the Jessica's waiting in.
Oh, geez.
Just stop.
Oh, they were so funny Friday, though.
Just stop.
Yeah.
Oh, man, these two.
They'll be happy one day.
Yeah.
When one of us dies, yeah.
Oh, look at that to the mind. That's, oh, you're so cute. Wow, that. Yeah. One of us died.
Yeah.
Look at that.
Look at that.
That's so cute.
Wow.
That must have been fun to clean up.
It actually wasn't that bad.
I mean, he jumped at the back of the Jeep and I give him a big old bad.
A big old bad.
He's a perfect.
But I love that the other dog like joined in just with Dush and be like, hi, we're
friends sitting in this mud pile together.
Oh, yeah.
That's just a popular dog.
Yeah.
It's all the dogs are all over.
For sure. Yeah.
Also Gus almost got me to go vegan for a bit,
but I've settled with pescatarian two weeks now.
How's it feel?
Good.
I mean, I'm fucking jack, so, you know.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Oh, I'm playing so hard.
He's off.
Playing jack-o.
I'm playing. I'm playing jack-o. I'm playing jack-o. I'm playing jack- off. Blaine, jack now. Blaine, you're humble, everyone.
Yes.

I wish you'd stay around talking more about that, but no, well, we'll take the next
time we go on the podcast. Gavin, you look different today. You look different.
What do you think looks different? Like, did you do something different with your hair or your face?
Shave my beard off. Is your hair thicker somehow?
Is it dirty?
How do you make hair thicker?
Is it dirty?
Well is it dirty?
Because sometimes like when my hair is oily,
and greasy, I can just like stay safe.
It's so dirty.
I washed it this morning.
Like you look like more attractive.
Barbara's got those night-wheel goggles on.
Hey baby.
Oh.
That means all the other times you're not.
Oh, she got it.
Well, I'm just like, whatever you're doing, it's nice.
All right, I'll try and figure out what I've done
and I'll continue to do it more.
Replicate it.
Or change it.
And I'll come by the core office.
I'll be like, what do you think today?
Yeah, that's what I'll do. I love it.
I've not nailed this.
So I was in England meeting a new member of my family, small baby.
Were you there during Brexit?
No, right before. That's when I left.
But I was noticing that because we recently discovered that Michael was about to turn a billion seconds old.
Sometime last year, so we had a little party for him.
And then I sat in a alarm, so I would know when I was a billion seconds old from time last year, so we had a little party for him. And then I sat in alarm, so I would know
when I was a billion seconds old,
and the baby I just met is already a million seconds old.
Wow.
That's the difference between a million and a billion.
That then, I was like,
that is such a good visualizer of the difference
between a billionaire and a millionaire,
is that it takes a human 12 days
to become a million seconds old,
but 31.7 years to become a billion seconds old.
That is incredible.
And that would not.
So someone like Jeff Bezos,
who's like, how much is, it's like 71 billion?
Something like that.
Or like, is that 100 billion?
I'm not sure since the divorce.
It was over 100.
I wrote Jeff Bezos.
Jeff Bezos.
In that war.
That just makes me think about like time and space.
On the 23.9. Nice to go deep. Yeah, 123.9 billion dollars. So that's the best of those in that world. That just makes me think about like time and space and costless.
On the 23.9.
Nice to go deep.
Yeah, 123.9 billion dollars.
It's just like, God, I still feel like we're constantly
reminded of what it means to be a billionaire,
but it's so hard to perceive that in a way that makes sense.
Yeah.
Because growing up, a million is a lot,
and a billion is a lot, they're both a ton
to have money, but when you see how far a billion is
from a million is horrendous.
And you said Michael, he turned?
No, I just turned one billion seconds
all the other day.
Congratulations.
Can we just talk about what you would do
with a billion dollars?
Because if you're like some people,
I'm gonna pass that down, you know,
through my family, Lyon, they'll always be taking care of.
But if they're gonna grow up to be little shits,
I don't want them to have that money.
Yeah, they're okay, so.
You gotta have it buried with you.
Yeah, I was just,
we're giving it to our donated.
Yeah, charity and help people with it.
There was an analogy I read about,
like trying to contextualize how much a billion is.
I read it on this podcast like six months ago.
So I'm going to read it again just because it's been a while.
So I read this was like a Bernie Sanders subreddit on Reddit.
Okay.
So that's what that's what I came from.
I did not figure this out.
Okay.
So if you this person used an analogy of a staircase
with each step on the staircase representing a hundred thousand dollars of net worth
So half of people in the United States are on the base or the very first step either zero to a hundred thousand Trevor told me this exact analogy
Now my mind was blown. Okay. I'm ready for it almost 200 million people can't even get one step up
The households in the 80th percentile which are are richer than 4th-year-old Americans,
are on the 5th step.
So 5 steps up.
Those in the 90th percentile are on the 11th step.
A billionaire is 10,000 steps up.
10,000 steps up. 10,000 steps up.
Yeah, that's...
That's a single billion.
Jeff Bezos is so high on the staircase.
He's 133 miles in the air.
Oh my God.
That's more than halfway to the ISS.
Oh my God.
So he got three, yeah.
The staircase made out of $100,000 every step.
He can't breathe on his own steps.
It's 24-mount Everest.
Oh my God.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, that's incredible.
There is so much inequality in the world.
It's a crazy difference.
No, I just like, I don't understand how you can be that rich and not want like you physically
cannot spend that money.
I know. I know. that's why I'm like,
what are you doing with it?
Like, where does it go?
Give this charity a billion dollars,
give this charity a billion dollars.
Why wouldn't you be doing that?
If you were to have much money.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Okay, maybe they want to save it for their family
and their kids and all that.
But at the same time, these people also need to learn
how to fucking work in this world.
What is, what is that crazy?
What is that crazy?
I agree.
What is crazy about that staircase though?
Because he has so much money, and I'm sure it's all over the place in different currencies
and different accounts and stuff, that his staircase is constantly like getting a lot
of money.
Well, also it's like, since a lot of it is probably tied in a stock, it's like, if he starts
selling that stock, his staircase is getting shorter because the stock is becoming worthless.
Yeah.
Oh my god. Yeah, but it's still halfway to the ISS.
It's a lot.
I don't know what to do.
Yeah, that's, I wish, I mean,
it's so sad.
That's a lot of money, but I wouldn't mind a 130 mile
by staircase.
Right.
Yeah.
What do you think, like if you could only buy one big thing,
like unlimited, you can,
unlimited amount of my
perfect.
Would it be like a car or like a...
Probably a place to live, right?
Yeah, I feel like I'd buy like a really nice place.
I feel like cars are always like a waste of money.
Yeah, I think so too.
The second drive off the lot,
it depreciates immediately.
Yeah, I never really understood that mindset there.
Like if you're gonna keep it
Then who cares right But like you guys are so I think the thought is if you drive it off the lot then two blocks away
You get into a wreck you owe a bunch of money on a car that you can't drive anymore. Oh, I see
Yeah, it's like because the insurance will pay you back so much
It's already depreciated and that in that time frame they call that the gap and they try to get you to buy gap insurance.
There's a whole fucking thing.
Is that why it takes the lens to buy a car?
Yes, that is why it takes the long to buy a car.
Oh, you remember this?
Yeah.
I thought I was being smart.
I showed up right when they were closing to buy a car
so that they wouldn't try to fuck with me.
They still fucked with me.
Of course.
Oh my God.
Took hours.
Next time maybe go there, show some interest,
and then take an hour long call first.
So by the time they're dealing with you,
it's like way past when they want to be closing.
Fuck, sort of kicking out.
I've had the same car since I moved here.
That's awesome.
And like, it's good car.
Yeah.
Keep it.
It is.
That's why I had the discussion
with a friend of mine recently,
who really likes cars.
And they were like, why don't you,
like you've had this car for so long,
why don't you get a new car?
I'm like, because it still works.
Yeah.
And like, it's a good condition.
Yeah.
Yeah, this thing, if you ever read like a personal
finance subreddit, it's like always the thing.
It's like, if you don't have a car payment,
keep it that way.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
And even if I tried to sell the one I have now,
I could probably get like a good amount,
but like not nearly enough to trade in for a new car.
Didn't you get a new car recently?
I got a new car about a year and a half ago, two years, and this is, I, I, I,
I leased before, um, and so this year's the first time I actually bought my car and I'm
making payments on it.
It'll probably be another like four years of payments, but then it's mine and then it's
great.
And it's, and it's a brand new car. So it's going gonna last me. Yeah, I'm hoping to keep it for like 10 years.
So yeah, but back to our question though, I would you're right, I would invest in a house because I
spent a lot of my time there anyway. Yeah, like a lot of my time. I've got to work that's yeah,
where you are. And then but it would have a bunch of different rooms that that are all themed,
different things. I'd go in there. Like what bunch of different rooms that are all themed, different things.
I'd go in there.
Like what?
Depending on what mood I'm in,
one room needs to be like a beautiful, like,
fairy light room, or like a tent is in there,
and I can go like, read and think about magical things.
I wanted, you know what I mean?
I want to like, wish my house together.
Yeah. I just have that room.
Yeah, I bet that really.
Pillows everywhere.
It smell really good.
Yeah. I probably would smell really good because I would be my house together. Yeah. I just have that room. I bet that really. I feel like I want to make an ASMR video about that room.
Yeah.
It's the room of many different things.
I like room.
I watch a lot of ASMR.
Yeah, I think that makes the most sense.
Like someone will live. Yeah. Yeah, I think that makes the most sense, like someone will live.
Yeah. Yeah.
Especially around here in Austin.
Yeah. I think it's just constantly getting more and more expensive.
Well, though, if you buy an expensive house,
it's kind of expensive to live in it.
Yeah. Well, especially because it needs to make sure you don't
property tax, spend the whole amount on the house.
Probably tax in Texas is insane.
Which I think,
both are like, if you've got like a $20 million mansion
and you need to like, re-dial the floors.
Yeah.
And like, buy the furniture to fill the rooms.
I'd be happy with much cheaper in the 20,
I don't need 20 million dollars.
I was gonna say I don't need a $20 million dollar house.
There are some very interesting YouTube videos
that I started watching where it's like,
realtors taking you on a tour of these like,
$80 million Los Angeles homes, and it's insane.
I'm like, what kind of person needs this much space?
I know, I look up celebrity houses sometimes
just because I'm curious.
It also feels like, so, like, how much of a percentage
are you entertaining people, right?
And they travel all the time.
Are they are, even home, right? And they travel all the time. Are they even home, right, all the time?
No. Even if you're home,
even if you're home a couple days a week,
you may, and maybe entertain like once
every few weeks or so on, that it's,
you have like a thousand rooms in your house
and you're using two of them in the majority of the time.
Mainly the living room in kitchen.
The kitchen especially, that's how much.
Really, huh? How many toilets are in that house? the time mainly the living room and kitchen the kitchen especially I'm really how
I'm gonna you how many toilets like are in that house like do you have to keep
a schedule like oh that's fine this week I'm pooping in that toilet over there
you probably have to hire people to like clean it and maintain it too
it's like another added cost exactly one toilet every week and then you're fine
but then the next week's toilet is gonna be on Mingen, because it's been used.
Do you clean it before you move on to the next one?
Like when you're done using a toilet for the week,
you clean it, then you move on to the next one.
Yeah, but I mean, by the time you get around
to that toilet again, it'll be Mingen.
Would it?
Yeah.
The toilet's get dirty just by being there.
Yeah, and like all the water drains away
and they get all, what does that mean?
Just nasty, like right.
You do?
Yeah.
I've been trying to think I've been out of town before
for like a couple of weeks.
I mean, I've had periods where,
like I've been selling,
I move out of my house to sell the other one.
But it just sits, you know, before it's been born.
And you got all the water goes away.
Interesting.
I don't think I've ever seen that.
That's weird.
I think that's just a you thing, Evan.
Yeah, you get fucked in Texas on houses
because like even if you pay off a house, you still have to pay property tax
And I think it's what 2% in Austin 2.2 I think 2.2.
Yeah, that's...
If you buy like a million dollar house,
it's a lot of fucking money that you're paying all the time forever and ever.
Yeah.
I'm not saying that's me, but jeez man. Okay, I did the math on it and
you said a 20 million dollar house, a 2.2 percent tax on that would be $440,000 every year. What's that?
What's that month? 440, 23 divided by 12, almost $37,000 a month. That's someone's salary. And that's just property tax.
Can you imagine spending your entire salary every month
and that's not going towards the mortgage or the interest?
Yeah.
If you're buying a $20 million house, you probably don't care about that.
Oh, yeah, probably.
But still, you have to look at that objectively and say,
that's what's up.
A lot of money. Yeah. Jeff Basel's money. That's 20th stair.
I saw speaking of nice houses. I saw neon films who I guess distributed
parasite. They had a tweet the other day where they showed like a behind the
scenes look at an exterior of the house in parasites,
the scene where the mother's throwing the hammer
out in the yard,
and they show like how the second floor of that house
is just blue screen, like it's all comped in.
It's like the house that they shot at was just like
that little facade for the backyard with the glass.
And then like all the second floor
and like everything else was all comped in.
It was super cool to see.
Not know that I would never have guessed.
Yeah, and that's one of the things I love the house
in that film.
Oh, it's so much.
Beautiful.
Yeah, it's such a nice house.
And it's like, and now to know it's like, oh yeah,
it's, I already knew I was like, I suspect that a lot of this
probably is sad or not a nice little house.
Cool things you could do in that basement.
Oh, yeah.
Sex dungeon. Yeah, that's g basement. Oh yeah. Sex dungeon.
That's gross.
Man, what a twist.
Yeah, I know.
It's a great movie.
If you still haven't seen it, you should absolutely see it.
I really hope it wins a bunch of Oscars this weekend.
Did you see, yeah, you saw 1917.
That's right, have you seen an IMAX yet?
No.
Okay.
Have you?
Not yet.
I need to see it in IMAX.
I'm seeing, um, into Stella 70 in IMAX. I'm seeing into Stella
70 mil IMAX in a few weeks. I'm literally watching that this weekend because
Devon watched it Friday night and like he was like I'm just gonna put it on while
puzzling and just it'll be in the background but he ended up staying up until 3 a.m.
I mean it's not it's really not in the background kind of weird. It's not just way too
fucking epic. Yeah Jessica has got to see a really fun movie this weekend.
Yeah, that Barb was kind of invited to go to, but she said no to and she made the right decision.
I got I had other plans.
Unfortunately, I couldn't.
Yeah, couldn't attend.
I saw cats.
The musical, the film version.
How?
Where is the playing somewhere? It's a good question
It was the rowdy version
At Almond Rapptouse so you could dress up like a kitty and
Yeah, the only draft house does rowdy screenings where basically they encourage people to like
Talk to the screen and like
Caller and like it's not one of those movies where you have to stay quiet the whole time
I'm not a place to see a movie for the first time. Right. No, I'm not, couldn't hold her in a plot. Yeah, and like, it's not one of those movies where you have to stay quiet the whole time. Like, you could-
Not a place to see a movie for the first time.
Right, no.
But you see more.
Almost as cats.
No.
Oh.
No.
So people were allowed to like hiss in the out,
and, you know, cough up a hairball if you felt the need to.
I had a cringe wave just travel.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like the first, and it was for somebody's birthday. It was actually, yeah, yeah. So, yeah.
It's like the first, it was for somebody's birthday.
It was actually Hannah McCarthy's birthday.
I love her.
We love her so much for her.
And that's why, yeah.
And the first 15 minutes go by, and I immediately
check my phone and I look up what is the runtime of cats.
And it was, yeah.
And it was an hour 50.
And I was like, oh, fuck.
And so I'm like calculating the time
of my head and I'm like, how many?
Okay, we did like 20 minutes of preview.
So I was like, fuck.
And I just, and you know, a lot of people were intoxicated.
Someone else was like on shrooms.
And so I was like, man, I'm the only sober person here.
This is not fun for me, because it just also
wasn't a good movie.
I was honestly incredibly blown away
about and on how not great it was.
It was like, it was like, it was incredibly bad. Why don't you just walk out because I'm there for my friend because I'm a good friend
Well, I mean see I mean you're not gonna hang out while you watch the movie
She was very much invested in watching all of our reactions. Oh, she was like the whole time. She was just like
I love her. I know it's really funny and as the only person I would go see cats for exactly
I wouldn't have never done it otherwise.
Although it is funny, because before I talked to you about it,
I talked to someone else who was there
who was intoxicated during the film.
And I was like, how was it?
They're like, it was actually really fun.
Like, I had a great time, like the movie sucked,
but like it was really fun,
and everyone was being really funny.
And then I saw you and you're like, it was terrible.
I had the worst.
But it was so sober.
So, the budget on cats, according to worry. But it was so sober.
The budget on cats, according to box office module,
was $95 million.
And domestically, it's made $27 million.
Oh, no.
How many times could Jeff buzzes make cats?
With the amount of money it lost domestically,
you go by $30 million is $20 million houses.
Oh my god.
Oh god.
You were just asking ourselves, like,
to have a movie get made,
it has to go through so many different steps
and like such a process for it to actually be released
in theaters.
And the fact that it got through all those different steps.
Yeah, but it's not like an unproven concept.
They're just doing the musical, right?
But it's so they know a lot of people like it.
But who made the decision on how to do the VFX and stuff like the way that they did it?
Because you have to see it and it's just awful.
So that's that.
And then I didn't really like the music, but I can't really punch that in the face because
it's from like the, I don't know, cats like 40 years ago, right?
I'm intrigued like that.
I'm intrigued like that.
I'm intrigued like that.
I don't know how old it is, but.
It's 35 years old, I want to say.
I think you used to have Brian blessed it in it. I don't know how old it is, but... It's 35 years old, I want to say. I think he's to have Brian blessed in it.
Mm-hmm.
I don't know.
Um, but yeah, I mean, I guess they see like the Lion King remake
and other things like that.
So they think that it's probably a sure thing.
Yeah.
But yeah, it just boils down to someone made a creative decision
or probably more slightly, a couple of people made it.
Same thing with like the Sonic the Hedgehog trailer, right?
Like that came out with one look,
and people realized, oh, this isn't good.
Gotta redo it, except in this case,
they couldn't, weren't they working on the VFX for cats
like right up until the premiere?
And like they patched it.
They patched it, they updated it
after the movie came out.
Wow.
Wow.
Oh yeah, because Judy Dungeons' hand, right?
Didn't she like have her human hand
with her wedding ring in a couple shots?
Oh, I don't know. That's not cats. Cats as human humans that were cats with normal
human hands, but cat faces with fur on their face with no fur on their hands. Also, why
did some of them have cat boobs? They're like six? No. No, just like actual like cat,
like human boobs, but they're cat. Packs.
They should, they should have had a bunch. Right. Yeah.
Jason DeRue.
That one that taken you, I was slightly
just on the tape.
We were like, oh, or maybe I'm kind of into this.
Oh, Taylor Swift.
Jason DeRue, how to tweet out that like they see G.I. out
at his, his package.
He felt like he needed to let everybody know that.
Cast up Dicks.
Yeah, of course they do. Yeah.
He's not the title.
But.
Make sure you have the question mark at the end.
Wasn't 1917 so good though?
Yeah, it was so good.
It was so good.
It was so good.
Yeah, it was so good.
I still haven't seen it.
It was totally clear.
Amazing.
Yeah.
We haven't talked about this in person yet.
Yeah. I feel like the only thing we talk about outside of work is amazing. Yeah. We even talked about this in person yet. Yeah, I'm so.
I feel like the only thing we talk about
outside of work is movies.
Yeah, because I mean they're important.
You know, they made, with 1917,
they made a one, you know, simulated,
a one take move or one shot,
one long shot movie where it wasn't distracting.
Like it wasn't the thing that was front and center
the whole time.
Like every now and then,
I'd be like, oh yeah, the shot has been going on a long time.
And I was watching, I was thinking like,
yeah, like you know, a tree moves in front.
It's like that was a transition.
But I feel like for every transition I noticed,
there was probably 10 that I didn't.
Right, there were so much like, early on in the movie,
there's like a couple of segments that are really long
and I thought nothing wiped the screen.
Like they're still going, I know, surely they must have cut
at some point because it's a lot of dialogue,
a lot of background actors going on.
I think they just did a lot with rehearsal.
So by the time they were shooting it,
everyone was ready to do pretty long takes anyway.
Yeah, what a fuck.
So how long was the longest real segment?
Actually, that's a good question.
In 1917?
Yeah, I don't know.
I wonder how long they went for.
I know in what in children a man,
they had like a 13 minute long take,
or a 13 minute long shot.
There was also that one in haunting his hill house,
they had a long take like that too,
which I think maybe was around 11 minutes,
where they moved all the sets and whatnot.
Yeah.
I think that the children are men one was so involved.
I think they could only do three runs of it a day.
Geez. Because like it had a do three runs of it a day. Geez.
Because it had a tank and like urban combat and stuff.
We joke about what it'd be like to be an extra
or an actor who's like seven minutes in
and they really don't wanna wake.
Don't wanna bother them up.
Yeah, they're like, I love that one.
I don't know if you ever seen,
there's a Korean movie that came out last year called Burning
and it has Stephen Yoon from Walking Dead in it and they have a scene in there that's shot at
Twilight like right at sunset and that was distracting for me when I watched it
in the theater because I thought they're using all natural light and they
probably only have a couple minutes of data film this and I looked it up on IMDB
after I was out of the movie and it said they spent a month just filming that scene.
Oh my god.
Just because they had such a limited window of time where they could film.
It's like that is fucking dedication to to that style.
Like they could have said like fuck it. Let's let's bring some lights.
Or let's just change. Let's do a rewrite. Let's do it some other way.
It's like no, they were like we're gonna do it at dusk.
Yeah, they brought that up in 1917 behind the scenes about how they,
sometimes on set, they just have to wait until
the clouds would move, waiting for light and stuff.
Just on set, just sometimes, you know,
30 minutes at a time, just everyone was sitting around
waiting. God, what a waste of money.
The producer's just watching a pile of money.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think about when we're filming,
it's like a plane going overhead and you're like,
oh, we have to wait 30 seconds
for a plane.
Can imagine being on a set, like,
like, 1970 where there's hundreds of people.
Well, especially like as an actor,
when you're like ready to be in that moment
and like, be on for that.
And like, it's like, okay, go.
Now I have to do it.
When you're like prepared, like,
I psyched up and stuff like that.
What's the record for the longest one take shot?
Cause 13 minutes is a long.
Well, it depends if it was a true 13 minute take
or whether it was 13 minute shot, you know.
Yeah, the one, I mean, when it was filmed,
it was limited by, you know, your film would run out
after like four minutes.
Yeah.
Someone said 8.5 minutes was the longest shot. I know
Birdman, yeah, had a lot of one one shot takes. Oh, I didn't know Hill House had four different.
I thought it was just that one episode. I need to look into that too.
I'm trying to look this up. It's hard to find. Yeah, I don't know if I'm going to find it or not.
Yeah, I'm sure I could find it. It's just hard to look it up quickly while we're talking here.
Yeah.
Do everything at once, Gus.
No, but I know the one in, I thought the one in Trillermont was 13 minutes,
they're saying 8.5.
I'll have to look that up later, but I know that one was a true take,
because the one they ended up using in the film,
the take they ended up using,
blood splatter got on the lens at one point,
and they had to like digitally remove it.
So like as you watch the scene go on,
like the blood splatter on the lens,
it becomes like fuzzier and fuzzier
than eventually like it just goes away.
Mm.

¿Tú si no te hagas?
Técnicamente.
Tienes. ¿Es un mar We should make our own 1901. Oh yeah,
I was like, what? No, it's the little thing we did for a team of hunter. Oh, that's coming out.
That's coming out this Friday coming out on Friday. And we unintentionally ruined filming for that day.
I think for you Gavin. Yeah. Because like you guys had put,
it was like, you were traveling or something,
so it's like the one day you could be there,
but we had to go to England, yeah.
We hadn't told anybody from Achievement Hunter about it,
including Trevor or Sarah,
because we didn't want anybody to know.
And after she's like,
if you guys could love and know
when you want to pull prank,
like I know.
I know.
Now here's the thing,
you absolutely should have told Sarah,
but it's so good that you didn't,
because she would easily just let it slip.
Well, that's because we're like,
we don't know if you were gonna tell anybody,
she's like, I wouldn't tell anybody.
She wouldn't intentionally tell anyone,
she would immediately give it away.
Yeah.
There we.
So there you go.
Yeah, okay, good to know, good to know.
Yeah, we have to have an inside man, inside woman.
I mean, we still got the video done that day.
That's fine.
Okay, good.
I was worried that we completely fucked it up for you guys, but I'm that day. That was fine. Okay, good.
I was worried that we completely fucked it up for you guys.
But I'm so excited.
That's the real prank.
I think this is one of the best things we've done in a long time.
We were all so excited about it.
Yeah.
I think like everything came together so well.
And the reaction was so perfect.
Yeah.
So stay tuned for that on Friday.
Yeah. I'm excited to see it. Oh yeah, because you, I don stay tuned for that on Friday. Yeah.
I'm excited to see it.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, because you, I don't know if you saw anything from it, right?
Yeah.
No, I was about to come in for the video.
We're supposed to be making and they were like, don't come in.
I was like, oh, okay.
Why, oh!
You should have told you to still come in.
Because I said I could only, I was like really slammed on time that week.
So I was like, I can come in for this video, but that's it.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
It was lesser. Oh, but that's it. Mm-hmm. Yeah. It was lesser.
Oh, yeah.
Of course.
Okay.
Unimportant.
Which we just finished today.
Finished Halo Reach.
Congrats.
Congrats.
Did you get the ending spoiled for you?
Or did you, uh, did you go in fresh?
I went in fresh.
How long did I take you off?
Sarah's in the chat.
I'm sorry, Sarah.
Oh, Sarah!
She's like, I can keep a secret! I
believe in you Sarah. Oh my god. I'm so cute. Sarah we love you though. There was
themes. We do. Sarah's the best intentions at all times. I've never seen someone look so defeated
when she came in. She's like oh, we were gonna film I know
She like she sees the office
Worth it it was worth it for a great video
Yeah, I think Ryan was the one who slapped me. He was just like don't say don't
Don't say what he's actually. No, he was like guess we're not doing less so at
X time Ryan and I like, what's happening?
And he's like, it's very hard to explain.
Yeah.
Oh, building up this despair.
Yeah, he almost ruined it for a couple of people too.
Yeah.
Because the whole purpose of it was to get you guys coming in and having the reaction
and getting all that.
And he apparently messaged some people before they were in the office to tell them what
was going on.
It's like, Ryan!
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Slop the keyboard out of his hands.
I was looking up an article that I was gonna talk about.
Uh huh.
But you know how like when you're reading an article,
sometimes there's like little sidebar articles
or like little other like suggested also things on this website.
And I had to click on this one. Okay.
The headline is, someone's finally made a pair of vagina gloves.
Finally.
I need to try and figure out what they're even talking about.
What does that mean?
I still don't know.
Do they read about a vagina?
Or they are gloves that look like vagina.
Is it like a glove that you can, someone can know?
Oh.
Yeah, it's a glove you jack off it, too.
Oh, god damn.
Okay.
So it's like a, like a,
pocket pussy.
Yeah, I figured this out was the first sentence
of the article.
Wait, read it, yep.
You know how every single time you blow your load
inside a cheat plastic, sextol,
you always end up feeling that beautiful tender moment
of shared devotion and pray to whatever God
you believe in, the two of you can, I can't even,
like, I'm done.
I'm done.
No.
Even you know what footage of you reading the cell lab.
I don't know.
Don't want that to exist on the internet.
Which, would you be annoyed, Barbara,
if they took a mold of the inner inside of your vagina and sold it for banging.
Sold it for banging.
I like how you imply that this would happen against my will.
Oh shit.
What if you just were just, you came into work and said on your desk.
In the room, the store was a new product.
And you were like, and it was your vagina.
I mean, I wouldn't be pleased.
But also just like-
What if it was ribbed for your pleasure?
How does that make it so weird?
Would you be happy if they were so on the mold?
You're dick in the store for people to fuck?
I feel like a dick is way more generic
You can like you can like the inside of a vagina like this probably
500 million dicks that are just the same as mine and there's probably 500 billion vaginas that are the same
Exactly, yeah, but I feel like the like the inside of a vagina can have more variation.
That's true, but I think if people were gonna buy them
on our researchy store, it would be like,
this is Gavin Stick, this is Barbara's vagina,
and they'll be thinking about both of you
while they jack off, and that's the difference, I think.
I thought you were gonna say they'd buy them both.
That's what I thought it was going.
I don't know how he didn't go there with that.
No.
Everyone thought it was going.
They would gain no information.
They would say that if you guys go and people buy two Barbie dolls
and see if they'd have something together.
Even if someone took both,
and was just like, yeah,
and be like, that wouldn't tell anyone anything about.
Nothing.
That's what I mean.
I mean, like, the internet is a disgusting,
vile place.
Yeah.
There's stuff that people post about me
that just shakes me to my core.
It's fucking gross, but I'm also just like,
it's not hurting me.
It just goes, don't be happy.
As long as you're not be happy.
Growing this out there,
I knew that there was already a product
where you could clone your own dick
and make a dildo out of it.
Oh, geez.
There is a clone of pussy kit.
It's 2150 on Amazon.
I'm shipping.
$21 and 50 cents.
Yes.
So what do you have to just shoot a bunch of foam up?
You haven't even won.
I don't know.
Or do you have at least 3D scat it and print it.
This looks like some kind of putty.
Yeah, if you kind of stick your hand up there,
putty it up.
This is the way you'll get all the definition
of like the back walls and stuff.
I don't know how you feel concerned with the definition.
It's the exact same.
It's the outer portion of any vulva.
Okay, so it's the front.
Yeah.
New Arcade Life Idea.
Oh my God.
They have a chocolate version. Wow. Sure they god. Oh, they have a chocolate version.
Wow. They do something special.
Okay. So do you think you'd be able to pick up?
Do you think you'd be able to identify your vagina from the lineup of everyone?
If it was just the inside.
No, the front.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
I think so.
Matthew, I wouldn't know the inside.
Obviously.
I don't know.
You would know the first two to three inches.
That's, you know what? That's simplifying that I do that bar, but we don't know. You would know the first two to three inches. That's it. You know what? That's simplifying that I do that, Barb, but we don't we don't know that. So it wasn't me.
Well, you could just, you know, at the same time.
Someone get a flip HR on the phone. You get the man here right now.
Someone's a little flip. HR on the phone.
Can we get them out here right now?
So the thing I was looking up that led me
to the vagina glove story was this story I'd read about last week.
I guess there's this mystery and halifax.
Pussypie.
Where there's this guy who goes around late at night
after bars have closed and
he picks up
He offers to give drunk men rides and if they get into the car with him
He makes them try on gloves and won't let them out of the car until they try gloves on and he can watch and
Sometimes yeah, sometimes he masturbates while watching them try on different gloves.
It's like, it's such a fucking bizarre story.
Yeah.
It almost sounds fake, but like there's numerous people
who corroborate it, who were like,
oh yeah, that guy picked me up five years ago
outside of this bar.
Like, I guess.
Does he have a gun with him?
How do they stay in the car?
They just say he won't let them out.
It's kind of vague.
I don't know if there's like an investigation
so they don't, they can't say too much about it.
Has he like taped gloves to the door handle?
So they have to put the mirror on.
They were the gloves on to get in.
They need to go.
It's, it's, it's a really, really long article.
Sometimes he makes them drive and put on gloves
while they're driving.
It's like there's a bunch of different variations on it,
but they just call him, what do they call him?
I guess like the Halifax glove guy
or something has like a really weird name.
It would be Halifax.
I'm just kidding.
Very interesting.
Halifax is a great place.
Lovely people.
There's so many weird fetishes out there.
Like just get to the whole one of you. What's the many weird fetishes out there. Like just
get to the point. What's the way this one you've come across?
Not literally. Nice.
I'll tell the story, whatever. You might be watching this. Okay.
Lindsay and I met someone at a convention one time who wanted us to
blow balloons up and pop them because that was his fetish.
He told us it was his fetish and then reached into his backpack and said,
I have some balloons if you wanted it.
And I'm like, no, no, I'm good.
I'm a little uncomfortable of a situation
because it's like, all right, I understand people
have their fetishes and stuff
and good on you
for wanting to share that with us,
but then wanting us to actually do it.
Like the actual act isn't strange,
but the fact that you know that they're getting off
on it, you're not at the pot.
Why would you even share that with you?
That even that part is.
That's weird, that's weird.
I don't, on one hand, I was like,
I appreciate that you feel comfortable around me.
Maybe it's because like always open.
We have that kind of like open-candid kind of rapport and like, that's totally fine.
And so I guess he felt comfortable enough to share.
But then it's knowing that and then asking us to do it, which was like the uncomfortable
part, I guess, to put it lightly.
That's super strange.
So how did you turn them down? Oh, no, that's okay.
I actually, sorry, I have to go now.
How many balloons did you do before you left?
It was like four.
Seven.
Yeah, just until he came.
Oh, wow.
We were, what was it?
We were, oh, no, I don't want to spoil that.
There was something we talked about in that meeting earlier.
I was like, yeah, we shouldn't upload that to Port and Hub, too. Oh, yeah. Oh, no, I don't want to spoil that. There was something we talked about in that meeting earlier, I was like, yeah, we shouldn't upload that to Port and Hub, too.
Oh, man.
We've been talking about wanting to upload our content
on to Port and Hub.
Can anyone upload to Port and Hub?
Anyone.
And it probably gets some okay views.
But see, of course, my mind immediately goes to like,
awful places like human trafficking.
So like, I hate that.
Well, we're not gonna upload that.
No, but I mean like other people,
if you can upload anything to PornHub,
then you can upload, sorry to bring this down,
but that was like my first time.
Just like, ooh, videos that don't,
I'm sorry.
Why, wait, what'd you go straight to that?
Because that's just like, I guess it was
because I watched taken recently, honestly too.
But like, yeah, it's just like,
if you can upload anything to porn hub, that means like,
people that shouldn't be doing, or maybe women or men that are doing things against their
will are being uploaded to porn hub also.
Well, I'm sure that I'm looking that's against their terms of service.
Sure, it's against their terms of service, but it'll be just not stop them doing it.
They can't watch every video.
I know.
So you might be watching something
the way you can't verify how much consent was in the video.
Yeah.
If we do an RT life of us taking a mold of our vaginas,
perfect porn hub content.
I mean, it is perfect.
That will get a lot of views for sure.
It's just a sitting there with just like, like,
like silent. Just a silent. Just smiling.
Sorry. Yeah, everyone would nobody would be disappointed by that. I don't think so.
That's like the ultimate clickbait. Yeah. Golden Kong right there.
I've been I've been I always like look up and try to find interesting things to talk about in the podcast.
I read something that made me kind of upset the other day.
You might get extra mad about this.
I'm going to read the summary as I found it.
Electronic patient record system used by thousands of doctors
were programmed to automatically
suggest opioids at treatment
thanks to a secret deal between the software maker
and the drug company.
Oh, that's fucking awful.
Yeah, it's I guess, you know,
there was a electronic patient record.
So when a doctor would see a patient
and put in like their symptoms or update their chart, you know, it would just,
it would be like, it would suggest like, hey, maybe you should give them opioids to fix this problem.
Yeah. And through no real reason other than the fact that the software maker had a deal with a
drug manufacturer to try to push more opioids on people. Everyone involved in that
should be sued to oblivion. Yeah.
Yeah, and it's not like this was a long time ago.
This was fairly recently.
Like, we were already in the grips
of this opioid problem in the United States.
And to suggest those kinds of things
that probably weren't even necessary,
just to sell more.
I like that something that was basically
a couple of clicks here and there
for some like smaller people
Literally result in death
Potentially yeah of multiple people. Yeah, that's crazy
Yeah, I'm just like continuing to fan this yeah, even one of those ended up in an addiction ended in death
Yeah, like is that crazy? Yeah, And I feel like I haven't heard a ton of story about it.
Like I haven't seen it all over the place.
I thought, you know, I think I saw it posted on Reddit somewhere, but I haven't seen it
like any other big news stories about it.
I could be wrong, but wasn't there also a study release that like in states where marijuana
is legal, the opioid usage
is gone way, way down.
Yeah.
Hmm.
And obviously, you're not involving marijuana,
or zero.
Yeah.
I have a number for you, Gavin.
So this was between 2016 to spring 2019.
That, and did that recently?
That alert went off 230 million times.
Oh my god
That's and might be one of the most damaging things ever happened to humanity. That is completely under the radar seems like yeah
The software company was a company called practice fusion they were paid by a major opioid manufacturer to design it in an effort to boost
Prescriptions for addictive paint mills. She's oh my I
That is so messed up.
I hate it.
That is like the, yeah, a definition of corruption.
I guess people found out about it
because of government investigation
and the software manufacturer agreed to pay $145 million
to resolve civil and criminal cases.
Wow, that's like nothing.
Seems like a slap on the wrist.
It absolutely does.
It went off 230 million times.
It's just over 50 cents.
You can't even make cats twice for that.
Yeah.
Man.
You would only get a few steps up.
My doctor that I go to, she knows I have anxiety.
Obviously, and I have panic attacks.
And I told her that there's some times
that I just can't calm my anxiety
when I'm having a panic attack with nothing.
And I told her I was like, I literally,
I need something to just calm my nerves down.
And it took me three times going back to her
after going to therapy and doing yoga and meditation
for her to finally give me a small amount of colonopin.
And I love her for that.
I love her for just, like, you know, doctors get paid money
every time they read a prescription and whatnot.
And so I thought it was just wonderful
that she just wouldn't give it to me just because I'm over here
saying, I have anxiety and panic to sort her and stuff.
I want to say, I think there's a website you can look up.
I have to research this.
But I remember seeing this a few years ago
where you can type in different doctors names
and you can see how much money they've been paid
by different pharmaceutical companies.
Wow.
Like a speaking fees or whatever
so you know if they have like ulterior motives.
I was very happy.
I typed my doctor's name in and it was like zero.
That's great.
Yeah, so I was like, oh, I feel like my doctor
would be the same the way she handled that situation with me.
This healthcare system you got here is pretty nuts. It's great. Yeah, so I was like, oh, I feel like my doctor would be the same the way she handled that situation with me. This health care system you got here is pretty nuts.
It's crazy. Yeah.
Yeah. It's true. If only there was a simpler way.
Yeah.
And I was in, if only other countries had a solution to how they do it a few years ago, I was in
catch, I tell a few years ago, I was in Sydney.
It was, I think it was for one of one one of, maybe it was like the first RTX Sydney.
Anyway, it was in late 2016, early 2017.
It was right after the elections, it was late 2016.
And I was down there and I was sitting in a pub in Sydney, down by the Opera House.
And so, my wife and I were sitting.
There was an empty seat to my right.
And then on the other side, like, was this older couple from the UK.
And then, of course, a bunch of Australians everywhere else.
This guy walks in.
He walks in.
I instantly see him and like, oh, God, he's going to sit next to me.
Because he's by himself.
And there's like one seat right there at the bar.
He comes in, makes a b-line, and sits right there.
He's obviously American as well, talking very loudly to everyone, giving everyone unfulisted advice. He tells, he starts talking to the
elderly British couple who are on the other side of him. He starts telling them how nationalized
healthcare doesn't work and it never works in any country and they're like, well, we have
that. He's like, well, yeah, I'm sure you all aren't happy with it. Like no, we we like it
We're really good with it and then he's argues with them for a really long time about it
And he's like all right, I'll be right back. I need to go vape and he like
puts like his stuff down on the chair
He has to bark that like can you watch this for me? And he goes out and he starts like vaping in the street and
So he goes outside, I was like,
I just want everyone to know.
I don't know that guy.
I just like, I know I don't have an American too,
but that guy is not with me.
Yeah, I don't share his opinion, thoughts or feelings.
We're from the same country, I'm sorry,
but I do not know who that is.
Cause it's fine that he has his opinion or whatever.
He was trying to engage everyone else
and tell them why they were wrong about things.
I was like,
that's madness.
Yeah, let them do whatever they want, man.
Yeah, everyone's entitled to their own opinion,
but you can't just like force it and whatnot.
I get into arguments a lot about that kind of stuff,
because I feel like it's pointless to not be vocal
when this just so much misinformation.
If I see an opportunity to hop in and correct
some false statement, I'll just do it,
even though it ruins my mentions for the week.
But the thing people say most about the,
how Y NHS wouldn't work here and stuff
is that the wait times and let stuff.
The wait times are already bad.
But also, like we have the NHS,
but you can also go private as well.
You can do what you have here as well.
They don't take that away. That's still
an option. People just think it's one or the other. They don't understand the truth.
I think their fear, which I think is somewhat justified, would be that once you have a nationalized
healthcare, the people opting for private insurance, the pool becomes a lot smaller. So
as a result, premiums go way up.
But I'm sure a lot of the people arguing against it haven't thought that through all that way,
but I think that would be the side effect.
Mm-hmm, yeah.
A lot of people also think that
because we have feel like a free, you know,
billless healthcare that the doctors don't get paid.
Before that the doctors aren't get paid. Before that the doctors are good.
For the health care.
Yeah, yeah, it's such a,
it's just such a misunderstanding
in terms of like how things work in other countries
and it's insane.
Yeah, and I don't enjoy constantly having these tweets
where it's like, nobody follows me for that.
But whenever I'm there like correcting that stuff,
I just wanna find out where people got their information from
because I don't know where this massive percentage of the US
has all the facts wrong about how the system works.
That's just the internet though, isn't it?
I'm just someone will see something or read something
and then say something else
and then someone will take what that person said
and take it like everything just becomes a broken telephone game
On the internet like so bad
Yeah
It's a depressing point
Speaking of misinformation and broken telephones
Great can't wait this I saw this really
Brilliant experiment that this guy did last week,
where he wanted to see if it was possible
to fuck with traffic on Google Maps.
So he had a suitcase, like one of those rolling suitcases
you take in the airplane with you,
and he filled it with 99 cell phones, all running Google Maps,
and he created a fake traffic jam.
So it was just red on that road.
Right. So it's like there were no cars on the street,
but the street turned red on Google Maps
and started altering people's like route suggestions.
So I bet the only people who came down that street
were people not using navigation.
Right.
That's like he-
That's like he-
That's like he-
That's like he-
That's like he-
That's like he-
Right, he effectively like created a denial of service
on a street.
That's really interesting.
Yeah, there is. What was the fun city of? I think he said it waso service on a street. That's really interesting. Yeah, there is.
What was the phone city of?
I think you said it was 99 phones in a suitcase.
And a bitch ain't one.
Nice.
You.
No.
That's great.
What else could you do that with?
Right, it's like really,
so honestly, it's a little scary.
Like you start to think about all the different bits of information that we get crowdsourced
and what can you fuck with.
Like this is one guy who decided he wanted to do that.
Like what if you had several people walking around doing that in a bigger area?
Oh, no.
No.
Wouldn't like that.
No.
What determines, you know, sometimes the airport, it says how long the way is for security.
Yeah. Is that manually entered or is that ultimately I looked into this before it's manually entered. Oh, there's a
So at the time I looked at it, it may be different now at the time I looked at it
It was an optional thing where you could download a nap and then when you went through security
You manually entered how long you waited to get through
Maybe they've updated it since then, but at the time I looked, that's how it was done.
It's kind of like they have this one intern that's like,
okay, you go look at the line.
Tell me, tell me in a minute, it looks like it is,
I don't know, like six to 20.
Like, you know, it's like when you go to a restaurant
and you're like, how long to wait for a table?
Like, I don't know, 30 minutes.
Like, they just make in numbers.
Yeah, exactly.
Like, people could sit there and like,
after they're done eating and like chat for another two hours,
bastards, and then I sit there.
The real animals, the real monsters.
Sitting in the lobby looking at them,
like, I say you pay your check.
Yeah, because sometimes the host will just point out,
yeah, once those people right there could happen,
and then just kind of like,
although my pet peeve is those restaurants where it's like a seat yourself kind of
Place like you order it to front and then you sit down. Yeah, and it's like the one or two people who are sitting at a table
That's designed for like six people
And you're just like there's another table for two. Yeah, right over there
Yeah, and like maybe that wasn't when they sat down
Yeah, it was it's like when you go
It's like when you park in a parking lot and someone's parked all fucked up up you like look at that assholes like well, they probably park like that because
Someone else that's yeah, it may not be them. I hate that happens to me if I'm parking behind someone who's parked like an
Asshole and then like I hope they don't leave before me because then it looks like I need
Yeah, yeah, oh
And I always I'm so tempted to always leave notes on those cars that just and sometimes when I see it usually
It's like it's like a really nice car.
It's like one of those sports cars or something.
Would you leave a really passive aggressive note?
No, it would be very direct.
Oh, so nice.
Yeah, do like you fucking asshole learn how to park bit.
I had to.
Call my bitch.
I had to do something any other day
that is still giving me anxiety.
No.
So there's a person who lives near me who,
on Sunday morning from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. at least.
They were sitting outside with their dog.
Their dog was on a leash attached to something
and dog was just barking.
Literally non-fucking stop from 9 a until 1pm. Wooden on stop, every time someone walked by,
every time a car would drive by, I would just barking.
And I was just like, what the fuck is going on?
Is she just sitting out there and like a lawn chair?
It was a dude, yeah, he was sitting on a lawn chair,
like this dog's barking.
And so I go outside and I'm like, excuse me,
because I just got like so fed up.
I was just trying to enjoy my day and like, I'll like it here is this dog's barking. And so I go outside and I'm like, excuse me,
because I just got like so fed up.
I was just trying to enjoy my day
and like, I'll like to hear this dog barking all morning.
Sassy bark.
And I was like, could you, your dog is barking?
Could you take it inside?
Like, I'm sorry.
Yeah.
And he was just like, oh, thank you.
It was like an older guy.
But I'm like, how would you?
Like, you know what barking?
Yeah. You own a dog. It's outside. It's barking, non-stop but I'm like, how? Like, you know what barking? You own a dog.
It's outside.
It's barking nonstop all day.
Do you know?
Nothing's disturbing anybody else.
Maybe he's slightly deaf.
Not a key heard me.
And I was like far away, you know?
It was hard barking first.
If you were a chef.
Well, like, it was all the things where it's like,
I know I have to do this to get it to stop.
But then I went inside and I'm just like,
now I'm full of adrenaline and I will be
for the next like, six hours.
I think you secretly love telling people off though.
I do and I don't because I'm like,
because you're really good at it.
Well, when it's like children,
I think we all get really enjoying it.
I wish you'd tell off a lot of children back in the day.
Yeah.
And it was awesome,
because I wouldn't have the balls to do it.
That way we'd go swimming and there'd be kids who are just like being nuisance to us.
And Gowdy's like, oh bro.
Don't tell them to stop.
He's kicking water in my drink.
Yeah, kids are fine.
How do you tell these kids?
Like, shut up, you fucking little kid.
No, I would just be like, hey, there's a whole pool.
We're trying to enjoy our time here.
Why not just go swim over there, okay?
Thank you.
And I would like sink down low into the water.
Because it made me uncomfortable.
Well, it's just like, especially when you're in a public pool,
it's so big.
We're just in this one little corner,
just like sitting in the pool drinking, whatever.
Like you don't have to be swimming near us.
Yeah.
And just like the fact that parents don't tell their kids
to leave other people alone is mind-blowing to me.
Yeah.
Like if I had a kid, I'd be like,
let's do them.
Yeah.
The father of those people,
they're just trying to drink for you.
I was in a meeting earlier today.
Was it the same meeting that you referenced
with the million toes with us?
That's the same meeting, yeah.
I was in a meeting earlier today and I was sitting on meeting that you referenced when Melanie tells with us? That's the same meeting, yeah. Okay, thank God.
I was in a meeting earlier today
and I was sitting on the couch.
Was it Game Bang Me?
Yeah, it was the same game thing.
Someone was sitting next to me using the massage gun
for like 20 minutes and it was like vibrating the whole couch.
I was just going to go to the hospital.
I was having good time.
No, no, no.
All right, all right, all right.
It was just kind of loud and it was hard for me to hear things. So I for like 20 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no floor and you're doing it on your like it literally vibrate the entire floor. Why would you do that? The meat. Reddable. I don't think this person realized it was
causing a ruckus.
It's just like a really weird thing to do.
No, first of when we first got our what's it called the hydrugin?
Hypervul.
The hypervul. It was such a strange thing to just randomly walk out into the flex
space and see somebody alone.
So yeah.
It's a a pistol.
Right.
Nobody was such a straight thing to just like come out of my
office, just go to the bathroom and I see somebody like sitting in the couch alone
in the foot space, just like massager their body, you know, like at work.
Yeah.
But now it's very personal.
It's like, it's like, it's just out there.
If you want to grab it all the time, you know, just sitting there just like,
yeah, so I really think in Q3 we should touch on their whole body.
Next time they're just inflating and popping balloons.
Nice.
I will say I have one now because of you.
And I will do it like at the end of the night and me and Devon are like watching something
and say for instance, it's time to watch like a real show, not one of those minemaking
shows you can watch this.
You like so on so under your night.
And I'll have it on.
And so like, Devon will let me do it.
And it's just on for such a long time
because I'm just like, this is so nice and relaxing.
Yeah.
It'll be almost like the,
I've told you.
Exactly.
In like 50 minutes, we'll go by and then he'll pause it
and then we'll go like this.
So, all right, I've been really trying to keep,
like cool, I've been trying to be very patient with you
But you've had that on for like the past hour and a half like we just started our show
Watching your show
Shaking
Ungrave it for the post show that what you can use it on the couch and you can see
The whole couch is shaking. He's like my whole body's been shaking the entire time
Yeah, yeah, he's like my whole body's been shaking the entire time. Can you Please turn it off? No, it was not me. I did not do it. It was you, VAR. Have you
introduced it to all of us? So I guess it's technically my fault. I mean, it's just it's a
brilliant device. But yeah, let's grab it for the potion. Yeah, I'll grab it right
