Starting point is 00:00:49 Hello everyone, welcome to their C-Podcast. I'm Gus. Hi Gus. Hi Gus. Hi Gus. Hi Gus. I had to, I didn't know you were gonna go and do a fucking ad read at the outset.
Starting point is 00:01:02 I had a burp queued up. And I'm gonna rush, I don't wanna burp over a sponsor. at the outset. I had a burp queued up. And I'm going, right? I don't want to burp over a sponsor. You did just stifle the book. So I had to just eat a burp and it's hooked. I'm starting off the podcast at a deficiency now, because my dad. Did I not say we're going to start the podcast.
Starting point is 00:01:16 I'm going to do the read. We're going to go around the horn and then we'll go. I literally set that two minutes ago. That's why he was chewing up a burp. You can't do two things at once. Thank you. Yeah. Also, this says we normally do this from home. I couldn't see the monitor. So I didn't know when the camera came on to me. I didn't know when the lower third came. I'm like looking out of the corner of my eye. There's a camera right here. I was like, yeah, it's like, okay, I think that's me.
Starting point is 00:01:29 I can see the color of my shirt. I can see the graphic. You should look at me. I'll give you Q's guess. I'll be like, yeah. I have no, I have to look over here. Now I can see it. It's over there.
Starting point is 00:01:39 I can see me. That's a good looking person. It's me. I can see it. I can see it. I can see it. I can see it. I can see guess. I'll be like, yeah. I have no, I have to look over here. That, I can now I can see it. It's over there.
Starting point is 00:01:48 I can see me. That's a good looking person. It's me. Man, I did something that annoyed me the other day. You annoyed yourself? I annoyed myself. Did you know going into it, you're saying it just made me like, I thought I had to do that.
Starting point is 00:01:59 It's really that pissed me off. So you were surprised by your action or surprised that an annoyed you? I was surprised at the outcome. I was driving around town the other day and I drove by a Ford dealership here in Austin and I thought oh Ford has that new electric car that Mocky right? Like I wonder if they have one there on the lot. They do. I'd love to see it. I'm not in the market for a car but yeah I want to test. I'd love to see it. I'm not in the market for a car, but I want to test, I'd like to see the electric vehicle that Ford's making.
Starting point is 00:02:28 So I went home and I looked on the Ford website and I looked at all the dealerships in Austin. I was like, oh, the one that I drove by, it says here on the website, they have four in stock. I could drive down there right now and look at one. So I drove down there to look at one and I'm like walking around the lot and of course they're all coming out.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Like can I help you, can I help you? It'll find like fine. Yeah, I'm looking for the mocky. I want to take a look at it Like oh, we don't have any of those I was like but your website says you have four right now on the lot like yeah We've had we've maybe had five in the last six months and we sell them as soon as we get them I was like And then the guy was like what we have one charging over there. I was like oh, can I look at it? No, that be locked to someone. I was like, well, I mean, that doesn't fucking have to do that.
Starting point is 00:03:07 I would tell you that. What's his point? He's like, you can look at it from the outside if you want. Yes, you could. I was saying, just walk around. You might see one driving or if you're going to look at one in public. What was the point? I was like, why did the website say that there was some, I intentionally went home to look
Starting point is 00:03:22 at the website so that I wouldn't go and have to talk to someone like out you know Unnecessarily now you're gonna have to do that and then also call the place to double confirm from now on are they are those Just gonna add a stupid set. Yeah, no kidding. Oh, there's stock numbers per location of stores. Are they all bullshit across the entire industry? They might feel like it's never true. They must be because according to the website every dealership and Austin had four five and stocking this guy Oh, no, we've only ever had five in the last couple of days. They just made me go. Ford is just full of shit. Because when I bought my car, I found it on the website first and I went down in and I was like,
Starting point is 00:03:52 can I drive the car on the website? And they're like, yeah, it's right over there. I know what the issue is. They had Ford in stock. I was going to reach for my soundboard. There it is, thank you. I think it's the universe telling you to stay the fuck away from Ford.
Starting point is 00:04:09 It might be it is. I'm just curious. It's from its Ford. Apparently they don't want to sell the Gus. It's true. I mean, I'm a Honda girl, so. I was very excited about this new Bronco. You know, Bronco's my all time favorite video.
Starting point is 00:04:20 I saw the Bronco, I saw that when I was there looking for the Mocky. And so I was really jazzed about it. I even priced a few out, thought about buying one maybe. And they're not, they're cool in pictures. In purpose, they look kind of, or in person, in purpose. In person, they're kind of small and dinky. And I was like, I saw the person, I went, oh.
Starting point is 00:04:38 I walked by one, I thought it looked cool. It looks okay from one angle. It is. Is that Bronco? Is that the car that was your dream car the whole time? And then as soon as you could afford one you went out to get one you couldn't find one you bought something else Really? Yeah, it's a dream. It's just not a very strong dream It just has to be available that day. Yeah, available to drive it for a lot
Starting point is 00:04:57 It's a dream of convenience. Oh Is your dream car still the same the Aston Martin? Yeah, hasn't changed Not why I haven't ever driven a car. That's true. So I have not, yeah, found out if I like one or not. Like, what do you, is the time to get a new car when the one you have is just like unusable anymore? Well, I think you miss a window at some point
Starting point is 00:05:20 because at some point it becomes funny that you haven't changed car in so long and I think you're way beyond upgrading car. You should now drive this, you like conquers that. You should absolutely drive a car into the fucking ground. I've had the same car for 10 years at this point, almost. And it's impressive. It works great.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Yeah, no reason to change it. Don't rock the boat. How long would you say is the average, maybe that's the average amount of time, how long would you say your average for owning a car? My average... I don't know. I've heard that price for a while.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Probably like, eight years or so? Yeah. And you've had 10 years for 10? Well, yeah, when I moved to Austin, so December will be 10 years. I had the Audi for, I think, eight years, seven and a half, eight years somewhere, your car for like, seven and a half, eight years. And I felt that was a that was a pretty good. That's like, I feel like I got my monies worth that car.
Starting point is 00:06:08 When I bought my Prius back in 2010, I thought to myself, you know, me, I did spreadsheet. I was like, I'll break even on this car with fuel savings if I own this car. I forget what it was like six and a half years. And I ended up having that car for eight years. So I felt like I did good with that car. That's real good.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Yeah. I ended up, well, mine always comes on the maintenance, right? Like the Audi hit like a maintenance wall and then everything broke on it. And then I got into a fight with the dealership and they had the car for three months and it was a whole thing. And then so I basically picked it up from them
Starting point is 00:06:42 and then drove it to another dealership. That was like, I think it's way from here. then drove it to another dealership. That's like the best way for me. That's cool. I get mad and I get like, I make final fuck you decision. Your car ownership always end in a fight. Yeah. You never have like a car that just kind of like peacefully goes away.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Your car's always like you have like a very definitive fucked up and that's the end of that car story. You're gonna be MW gracefully transitioned away from you. I wrecked the... I stopped liking the BMW, the old one, because I couldn't stop running it into shit. Like I kept having, like I kept hitting, not in bad, I just, I don't know what it was about that car something about me and that car
Starting point is 00:07:27 We never liked each other very much. It never felt super comfortable I never felt comfortable in it. I got the impression the car wasn't that fond of me and then like We just I just kept hitting like light poles and Not fast like five miles an hour in a parking lot You like bought it and it's like oh there's the, in the BMW thing that sucked about the BMW is that I got it, see if you remember this story. I fucking remember got it. I had it for two months.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Niceest car I ever owned. I shopped really well, shopped around for it, I got a really good deal and it wasn't super expensive. It was like four years old, but it was like, I felt like I had like a fancy car for the first time I was like, oh, nice car, real nice car. Really real nice car. Really was a nice car.
Starting point is 00:08:06 And I let Bernie Barwick to take somebody to the airport now. And I had had it for like, I don't know, a month or two, maybe. Max. And he called me to tell me he had gotten into an accident to freaking me out. This is a very Bernie thing to do. As all of you know, you've all gone through this with Bernie. He had borrowed the car because he was taking
Starting point is 00:08:24 a contract to the air bars, who we work with at a at a big company that rides the hippie that you would you would maybe think macro hard maybe Not nice Oh I wanted to take that person in a nice car Anyway, so he took that person and on the way to the upper he called me to he had this prank worked out where he had wrecked it and he was really sorry and he would get a fix and stuff. And while he's relaying this wreck, he re-rinsed.
Starting point is 00:08:52 He got re-rinsed by somebody. Yeah. Like while he was on the phone pretending to have been in an accident and apologizing, he got hit. That's kind of right. And then he just started describing the accident. And that hit, that was the first hit of that car. It never got fixed. Not saying Bernie didn't fix my car, but for some reason it never got fixed. I said you're trying to remember why it never got fixed. And so that set the precedent of just like that car hitting shit.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Yeah. And then for a curse forever. Cursed forever. He read out the curse while he was in it. And then the magnetism of crashing happened. And Gavin, you'll maybe learn this if you ever learn to drive. But I feel like there's nothing more embarrassing than if you're in a parking lot or like a busy section of road. And you're doing something where there's like backing
Starting point is 00:09:39 into a spot or parking, whatever. And you do the thing where you like bounce onto the curb or you like turn to sharp or you hit something and people see you and your car does that little thing, I want to die. I hate it. Everyone's watching you. I drove over a median two days after I bought my new car in it. It just was not like took a left to to tight and like, put put on with your front and back tire. Yeah. And I was like, oh, I fucked up this brand new car. I had to get out and look and make, and nothing was right, but I was for like 35 seconds
Starting point is 00:10:12 I thought like I had just drove a car off the lot and ruined it, particularly. And it was. Yeah, because I have cloaking, I feel like I would only ever use it for that. Yeah. If I bump the cub, people could see me like bouncing around inside.
Starting point is 00:10:24 It was like, how was, not inside. Like, the other day, I left my house, like almost at the exact same moment, one of my neighbors left their houses, and we did that awkward thing, where we were both backed out of our driveways, and then turned in the same direction. So we're both going down the street, and I'm behind them, and my neighbor's driving,
Starting point is 00:10:42 and it's like the first time I've ever seen my neighbor drive, I've never been in a car with them, I've ever seen my neighbor drive and never been in a car with me. I've never been in a car with them. I've never seen them drive and I'm watching them drive and I'm like, my neighbor's a bad driver. It's like, oh, they need to make that lane change. They're changing back now. What do they do?
Starting point is 00:10:57 Have you ever honked at someone that you knew accidentally? I did that this weekend. What happened? I was very hesitant to tell the story, but I was meeting up with my friend, Erin, at a park, and we were both meeting there. She was driving separately to me because, you know, we live in different places, whatever. And I was driving down this road, and there's a section of cars that are waiting to turn left and another, like, lane of traffic come the opposite way, where she was doing a U-turn,
Starting point is 00:11:28 but I guess couldn't see the car's very well so she just went quickly and like, I almost slammed into her and so I like honked and then like she drove off fast and I was like, oh, there it is. Shit, so there, because like, I can see no, is he? No, and I didn't tell it.
Starting point is 00:11:43 You can't see the speed, look at that on it now. I didn't tell it you You can't tell it. She's gonna find out it was like it was not like a giant Honk like fuck you kind of it was just like oh my god I almost hit you kind of huh you can just play it up the light. I'll just say hi I recognize well Jeff what I didn't mention to you after I honked and I saw it was Aaron she was driving off I went I went like this just in case And she looked back and saw it with me so I'd be like I just saw it with you and she was driving off. I went like this just in case. And she looked back and saw it with me. So I'd be like, I just saw it with you.
Starting point is 00:12:06 And I was talking to get your attention. But yeah, that's smart though. You need to cover your tracks. I was trying to explain this to Gavin the other day in our, do you want to say the beep? Or if I say the F word, will you make a mouth beep? On our podcast, fuckface. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Yeah. That we in. Can't even do it. Brilliant. What I was talking about. It doesn't matter what I read. Three, two, one. I literally don't. She's trying to help you. She's honking at you. Peace. Thank you. I mean, you probably shouldn't say the word if you want the bleep to be effective because
Starting point is 00:12:47 it's not muting your mic. Yeah, but it's the spirit of it. Okay, sure. Tell that word. Anyway, what are we talking about? On your podcast? Oh God! Where's the fuck you get stuck on from?
Starting point is 00:12:59 You see that? We're celebrating. What are we celebrating? We're celebrating being in the studio. That must have been over a year old confetti. What is that from? That was the weirdest thing ever. Oh, a recent photo.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Oh, recent photo shoot. Just like a year old. I thought it was piece of red confetti just fell from the ceiling very gently as we were all you should keep that. That's worth something now. I guarantee you I will lose you could actually actually keep that. That's worth something now. I guarantee you, I will lose this. You could actually,
Starting point is 00:13:26 auction that off at Extra Life for a charity. So on your hit runaway hit podcast, Bleepface, something happened. I don't know, I don't remember what we were talking about. Oh, that's great. I said I forgot about it. I was like, honking at friends,
Starting point is 00:13:38 bike ride, being terrible to friends, waving it, gotta cover your tracks. Oh, I was trying to explain this to Gavin and the other dickhead on our podcast and Raymond yeah, and that you it's always good when you when you have a snare to try to cover your tracks and they were arguing with me about it What do you be I do with you more or less annoyed if I crashed into you would you be more annoyed because it's me or you'd be like I know who it is. It's less annoying
Starting point is 00:14:06 You're the second one. Well, you good tonight. I Would in all honesty if you crack like if you hit my car with your car. Yeah, I probably laugh Is on nobody got hurt. I probably laugh. Yeah. What did you do when I smashed your phone? I laughed yeah, why'd you especially? You have to laugh. I laughed. Yeah. Why'd you get a phone? You have to laugh. I guess you have to. Yeah. What what else are you going to do? It went like 15 feet in the air. We were we were a yellow jacket with another contact from a big company and we were taking them out for
Starting point is 00:14:39 drink. And I just got nice have a thing where I was like if I if you leave your phone alone, I'm going to break it. If you leave your phone right and get it. I'm going to break it. It was if you leave your phone alone, I'm gonna break it. If you leave your phone right and get it, I'm gonna break it. It wasn't a guarantee break. It was usually a guarantee throw it. I'm gonna throw it, I'm gonna throw it. If I see it, I'm gonna kill it.
Starting point is 00:14:49 I remember this time period. Yeah, it was like, it was a thing. It was what we did. This is tears, right? It was tears, it lasted for a while. And so one of those times he had it out, and I was fucking took it, and I went, but I threw it a little too high, too far,
Starting point is 00:15:00 and on concrete, too much concrete, and it's like fucking shit. It was too much concrete. Yeah, one of those falls on its face and then you pick it up and you turn it over and it's just... Yeah, it was completely shattered. Yeah, but it was, I don't think it was shattered enough to stop me from using it.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Yeah, and I've actually said before, I don't like having a brand new nice phone. It's like very, you gotta be really keep it nice and you're very careful with it, because you don't want to break it. It costs like a thousand dollars, probably. So when I do drop it and I just dink the side or I get a little crack, there's a sense of relief there.
Starting point is 00:15:32 It's like, well now it's ruined and I can still use it. So I'm not gonna be overly careful, but it's still fine. It's the best scenario for me. You should offer a concierge service for people who get new phones or you'll just break their phone a little bit. That would be a little bit of reward about it.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Yeah, just get like a really small, like a little rock hammer, like in Shawshank. And just like, wait, just like fucking hit it in the corner of the screen. Yeah, it doesn't really make a lot of sense even to myself, but once I've wrecked a phone a little bit, I'm much more comfortable. No, I get that.
Starting point is 00:16:00 I get it's not pristine anymore. You guys don't have cases on your phone, right? No, I do now, because my phone is spider-vain in the back. So I have to have a case on it. So it's broken. Yeah, I just broke it on the front, but not enough to bother me. I used to, I used to like, if I, if I chipped my phone,
Starting point is 00:16:14 I'd have to get a new one. And now I don't get a flood. Because I also didn't chip them very often. Do you remember that game that used to be on the App Store? Calls sent me to heaven. Like years ago when the App store first came out, Apple ended up removing the game from the store, from the app store because it was a game where you would turn the game on, then the accelerometer would measure how high you could throw it, catch it.
Starting point is 00:16:34 No. It's like you would get a high score by throwing it as high as you could, like the higher you could throw it, your phone, the higher your score you would have. Yeah. But at some point, doesn't the accelerometer just register nothing like zero G. Like how does it actually? Can it really tell altitude? Where's it just timing? I think you can tell the altitude. I can tell when like it goes from going up to going down. So she will measure it that way. Fair play. Have you ever used the level app on the phone? Is it all the time?
Starting point is 00:17:03 Those are the first apps I ever downloaded. I'm still. I never trusted it first first I feel like it's gotten better. Yeah, are you gonna wreck my car? Are you gonna crush in my car? Well, I'm just trying to add up like so you've kicked a TV kicked TV over a couple of phones Doesn't really add up anyone near this price of a car. Oh you wrecked my car It doesn't really add up anyone near this price of a car. Oh, you wrecked my car. Um, eventually. It's anyway. It was your car.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Yeah, maybe I'll, maybe one day. Okay. Well, just so you know, I know where it is right now. I, thank you know, for the last 18 months or so, I've been doing a lot of work to get myself to a better place. And that just so you know, in all honesty, the way I would look at it is I have, will, I have had
Starting point is 00:17:44 and will have a lot of cars in my lifetime But I will there will only be one Gavin free in my life and so to me you are far more important than a dumb car So it's time to wreck Yeah, so I would be what's going on Crack them open. No, if you wreck my car, I would be like whatever cars are replaceable. You're not maybe and shithee and trying to wreck your cars Tucked into a nice moment. Do you want me to switch spots? I feel the same way about you. Really?
Starting point is 00:18:06 Yeah. Now, you'd be a little mad if I wrecked your car, I think. I don't know. I mean, if you did it for the lulls, I might. I want to go on the record. I'll be mad if any of you fuckers break my car. I said, you know what I said? So you noticed that I said these two, you were excluded
Starting point is 00:18:20 from that. If you had a long, long, long car. If you had a long, long car, so I could get a new one, that would be great. But you did that insurance claim. But you know that you could get hold of me a lot easier No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, You're right. You're right. I can't even look at you when I'm thinking about this. I have to look up there like if I look at him I'm gonna get mad at you Okay, but no, I agree. Yeah, just stuff right people people matter stuff doesn't It's the last year has taught us anything. It's the people matter way more than stuff I don't know shit. It's probably taught us to I just I just I was like the dragon in the hobbit

Starting point is 00:20:36 Oh man speaking of my stuff, I fucking TV broke yesterday. Yesterday? Yes, so fucking mad. Like that TV's only three years old? Do you think Ford has any in stock that you can really have in the market? I'm gonna fuck, they're four minute TV gun, gah.

Technology has an advanced enough to be like, sweet new TV, you're just gonna be wasting money on the same thing. It's still, in my mind, it's still new. That is new.
Starting point is 00:21:04 That is new Doesn't have all the features that like smart TV. Yeah, like all this. It's got everything I need Let's find Jerry Seinfeld over here No, it was fine. It was the deal with my TV The the sound works great. It's like the fucking the backlight burned out or something So it's like the the screen doesn't come on. Oh, what are you? Make your own backlight? Oh That's good idea actually. You can do that. You're smart point.
Starting point is 00:21:29 I wonder, I could probably just buy, like, hmm. What is it? It's probably, like, I'll have to take it apart. Now I'm gonna take it apart. You convince me, Gavin. I bet it's like a daughter board on there, that regular. Or it could just be like a wire mill, it also. Right, I bet I could figure this out.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Daughter? And if you can't, I was trying to tell you this earlier. Ialing TV. Oh, yeah. I bought this. I bought this little and this goes for you, too. I bought this little. It looks like a portable Bluetooth speaker. But it's it's it's it is. But it's also a HD 4K projector. Yeah. It's like 500 bucks. Did you or did you not see this on TikTok? No, I So what the way it worked is I went to Martha for a couple days It's like a getaway and we stayed in the house that had one and so I just used theirs and I loved it So I went home and bought one and stuck on a tripod and then I just put it up
Starting point is 00:22:18 I just as a joke I Face the ceiling in my bedroom and now I lay in bed and I just watch TV on the ceiling every night I thought I fall asleep I got a moment and it's huge and it's awesome. I don't even have a TV in my bedroom. I hate the idea of having a TV in my bedroom. Same. The bedroom is for sleeping and for other stuff. I totally agree. I totally agree. What are the stuff? Let's get into it. But this changed everything. I like I don't want the bulk of a TV in my bedroom because I think from a design standpoint It makes it hard to design a bedroom properly
Starting point is 00:22:46 if you've got to throw a TV and technology in it. But this is out of the way. And so, and it's just on the ceiling, and I'm already laying down, so I was telling Gavin, it's like Queen's Gambit, kind of, you're watching TV. And it's fucking awesome. And I love it.
Starting point is 00:23:00 I'm genius. I go to bed at like eight o'clock sometimes now, just so I can watch TV and bed as opposed to the living and then Great space save it. So what's your bed point at that? nothing The door to my bedroom. Do you have a headboard? Yes, why? Because it's so you can lean up and look at nothing if you want to like what is the point of a headboard? You're right. I'm taking it. I'm going home
Starting point is 00:23:20 I'm taking apart my TV and I'm taking the headboard off my bed. You're minimalist after this. You can't have fucked this. I like having the TV in the bedroom because it's like, you wake up on a Saturday, you want to still relax and bed and maybe watch a movie or a show and you're just still chilling, have some coffee, chill and bed, it's nice. I guess I can't, when I get up,
Starting point is 00:23:40 I have to take the dogs out. Oh. It's like, you have a response to that. It's like, I'm up, oh fuck, all right, I gotta let them out. We have no pets, no children. So we It's like, you have a response in there. It's like, I'm up. Oh fuck, all right, gotta let him out. So you don't need any help. We have no pets, no children. And so we're just like, what do you want to do?
Starting point is 00:23:49 So you have to take a picture to give you an idea of what my setup is going to. So you can just kind of see what I'm talking about. But I would love to be able to watch TV lying down because that's the one problem I have with the TV in the bed is like, you need more pillows to prop yourself up. So you can still lie down and watch straight. But if you're just lying down, you're perfect.
Starting point is 00:24:04 You've also got like, it looks like you have an angle in your ceiling here. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, I mean, this is the point. I'm part of my ceiling is cantered, so it's like, oh, that's the perfect, yeah. So it's kind of like the perfect ceiling for it, but I assume it would work just as well.
Starting point is 00:24:19 But yeah, here I'll show you a part, see like, so this is my bedroom, like me on my bed, so you can see like my ceiling is like it comes down That's that's a bulldog That's Henry upside down. That's his rib you're looking at Very loud sure this yeah, I Love being able to hear Henry every time you record something I love being able to hear Henry every time you record something. Jesus dear.
Starting point is 00:24:44 He's like the fourth cast member of Thuckface. Yeah, he loves bleep face. Bleep face, thanks. Can we get buttons like how much if we get a good a little post or yeah, but it's it's gonna meet me. That's a good count. Yeah, you got us Mike. Route this microphone into it and then route that into whatever it's
Starting point is 00:25:02 routed into. I don't know if that's possible. I don't know the way technology works. I want to ask you to a question, based on something you said earlier before the podcast started. Are you looking at me? I'm looking at you, Barb.
Starting point is 00:25:13 That's based off something that we talked about on Bleepface recently, that had an absolutely hasn't come out yet, but you mentioned being nervous before starting the podcast, kind of joking around. And in Gus said something about being nervous before podcasts, and then I want to have you. And it got said something about being nervous before podcasts. And then I want to have you guys get,
Starting point is 00:25:27 you missed something about being nervous. I think you were joking around, but do you guys ever get nervous before RT productions? It's not. So nervous probably isn't the right word. It's more of like performance anxiety. Or just I'm very hyper aware of the fact that people are watching me right now
Starting point is 00:25:43 and that there's cameras on me and that, like it's not just like having a normal conversation because you are presenting yourself to people while speaking. I see. And so I think it's just like being way too aware of myself and this like situation I'm in that happens before productions, but I'm not nervous about it. Yeah. Doing this 10 years at this point. So it's like it's just you've had your 10,000 hours,
Starting point is 00:26:05 you just like, yeah, how about you, same thing? No, no, yeah, I don't think I ever get nervous. I feel like I got nervous about something recently, but I can't remember what it was. I get nervous about hosting things. I would get nervous for every episode of Always Open because, and you guys probably experienced this to a degree when you're hosting something,
Starting point is 00:26:22 you have to be paying attention to the ad reads, paying attention to the time, if you have segments or topics that you have to jump to. So specifically live stuff? Yeah, live stuff, especially. But even like, we're doing this podcast for the Nevers, the TouchBase, and Jessica and I are co-hosting it, and even making sure we get through all the topics we want to talk about, all the points that HBO helps us put together,
Starting point is 00:26:47 transitioning to the next segment and everything like that. So you're trying to have a conversation will also in the back of your mind be like, okay, how am I going to seamlessly transition into this next part? So it's just a lot for the brain to handle. I think, I totally agree with you by the way. I think Achievement Hunter helped prepare me
Starting point is 00:27:03 for that part of it because that's kind of the same, I don't know if it's the same for you, but like when you're doing a Let's Play, and especially if it's one that you created, like a Minecraft Let's Play, you kind of go in through all those while you're doing the Let's Play and trying to kind of steer it
Starting point is 00:27:15 and make sure you get a beginning in a middle in an end and you're covering it. And so you're, you're kind of having two, like you're of two minds in your head at the same time, like you're performing and going through it and being immersed, but you're of two minds in your head at the same time, like you're performing and going through it and being immersed, but you're also like part of you is like watching and overseeing the whole thing
Starting point is 00:27:30 and managing and producing it. It's not as laid, being laid back when you're part of something. So if it's like, hey, we want you to be in this video or in this podcast as a guest where you just like, yeah, you're just here to hang out and talk like, I know Gus is hosting this podcast and he'll transition to the next topic whenever there's a law in conversation. I don't have to think about it. When there's a law in conversation.
Starting point is 00:27:49 How does a law that's a different story? It is great not to have to be the person. In our group, when we make videos, you call it the daddy. The daddy, yeah. So who's the daddy of this episode? It's essentially whoever came up with the concept for the video and it's like guiding everyone through it. Cause you have to have a host, some capacity for videos. You can't just start, I guess you can't just start
Starting point is 00:28:11 it's probably what you guys do. I have to discover more from being recorded that I don't realize it in normal conversation, but there's very small periods where I'm not listening when I think of something to say. And then I'll start listening again, or I'm thinking of something to say right before someone. And I'll miss sometimes just tiny snippets of the conversation
Starting point is 00:28:28 that I don't hear until I listen to it back. So it's like, I'm unaware of doing that when it's not recorded, but it's clearly happening all the time. But it makes me, like when you see comments on videos or it's like, how did you not see this written on your screen at this point? It's like, I am so far from being able to see everything on my screen at the same time.
Starting point is 00:28:46 I can barely listen to what is being said and think of the next thing to say. Forget about like what happened in the top right corner of your screen for four seconds. God help you if it's a let's play and there's three different conversations happening at the same time. Well, it's like you guys were just like 10 people
Starting point is 00:29:02 in one video. And the thing is it doesn't seem difficult. And when you watch people do it, it seems like a piece of piss. And it is easy when you're in the moment. You just don't realize the stuff you're not looking at. And you just don't realize the stuff you're not hearing. Yeah. Until it's recorded.
Starting point is 00:29:16 And I've watched videos back where I'm in. And I'm like, wow, it said it right in front of my eyes. And I can see my eyes looking at the screen. Didn't see it. Because you have crazy. 80 other things going on eyes looking at the screen. Didn't see it. Because you have 80 other things going ahead at the moment. It's funny because I am the I guess the opposite of getting nervous ahead of time. Like you mentioned that there's people watching us right now. I had completely and totally forgot.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Blisfully unaware. I am literally just having a conversation with you for. I just have to remember in the back of my head, don't do anything to lose your career, right? Like don't say anything to end your career. That's the only note I have for myself, right? But after a podcast, I fall apart. Like it was kind of a conversation we had.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Like Gavin gets nervous going into fuck face or like something like this, where I in the opposite, I'm totally comfortable. I'm very close to the night before. As soon as it's over, it just, it goes down to the point where probably within like three or four episodes of every, or three or four hours of every fuck face we record, I have to call Gavin for a pep talk.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Really? Yeah, yeah. I spiral bad. And then I'm like, it was at the worst episode a pep talk. Really? Yeah, yeah. I spiral bad. And then I'm like, it was at the worst episode and he has to like dig me out, you know, with his like a steam shovel. Yeah. It's always fine.
Starting point is 00:30:31 But what I try and stitch, if away from doing is doing it while we're in the middle of the road. I do that. I do that. It's the second case I was in okay. It's gonna be in the middle of a story, be like, yeah, that, forget it.
Starting point is 00:30:42 I'm sick of listening to myself. No, no, it's good. I wanna get wiped. No, I'm a complete opposite of that. Beforehand and Jury, I'll be in my own head about it. And then when a podcast or show is done, it's like it has wiped from my memory entirely. Because oftentimes, especially doing always open,
Starting point is 00:30:59 afterwards, we were done the show, producer would come up to me, all right, what do you think of titles of that episode? I'm like, what do we talk about? I don't remember anything. I think that is the far healthier way to go about. If you can, I believe you can, you just like, you could,
Starting point is 00:31:14 cause you can be nervous in the anticipation of something, but then if you have that moment and then it's wiped and you're good, that's what I feel better. That's what I feel best. I'm still upset about, I'm still upset about a story I fucking told on the podcast a week or two ago that I didn't think I told well enough Don't spoil the next week phase. I'm not gonna but I'm still mad about it, you know and
Starting point is 00:31:33 Yeah, I carry that stuff way too long. I just have it all before and it and to the point where it's like For example, I did that video with Will Smith where I'm I arrived like three hours early to set up make sure everything was there. What you must have really thought it was important. Well, what has to fly in and I wasn't gonna do the sit in though. No, I was getting I was making sure you got everything wasn't gonna reference Gavin showing up when we are counting down the pop. I couldn't get in because the damn. Even though I've been brain swapped already. Anyway, my call time was 4 o'clock and I asked Eric, I was like, when do we record at
Starting point is 00:32:13 5 right now? He was like, yeah, 5 and I was like, so I get there at 4 and get there at 5.01. Pretty much. You got to distract me the whole thing and the Adreads. That's true. Dude, I fucked with God in the Adreads this morning. It was really great. This is warning.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Before this. Now we're going. Yeah. But yeah, I was there early at the YouTube space, just freaking out. Just like trying to set up cameras. I'll be like, and I would just like, oh, I plug everything in, be like, right now, I'm going to move it out of that there.
Starting point is 00:32:39 And then it got to the point where I had nothing left to do. Everything was set, and I had like 90 minutes. And I was just sat there, just like, I wish my heart would stop beating so fast. I'm freaking out right now. I just want time to pass. I just need to get to the point. And it got to the point where like,
Starting point is 00:32:56 he's walking up to me and I've just been freaking out for like almost two hours straight. And we pressed record and I was just like, and then it was like serenely calm, like all through the making the video. It was just, he made me feel very comfortable. Like he was really good at doing that, like making me feel like on an even playing field
Starting point is 00:33:13 with Will Smith, which isn't the case at all. He'll get there someday. Yeah, but he ought to do, but then we just like made the video. It's like, boo, boo, boo, boo, you know, making each other laugh is funny. And we cut and I was just like, and I was just like, I crashed, I was just exhausted just from all of the freaking out that I did before.
Starting point is 00:33:29 You're hard at probably done all the beating and needed for the day, it was done. I'd done a day's worth of beating, but I wish I could somehow, because I know it will be fine, like how bad could it have gone, not that bad, right? I could have gone bad, who knows? I can't be terrible. Yeah, well that's it. What's the worst that could happen? You get like a blacklisted from a ever working with Will Smith or anyone in Hollywood ever again. Yeah, I like it. For fun talking about it. It hits my jugular. But yeah, I was a...
Starting point is 00:33:58 That was a great video though. Just such relief. Yeah. Just think of any episode of extras or Hello Ladies. That's how it could have gone wrong. It could have had a tray of shots. Just filled them all over. Everyone there? No, I am not quite like that. Like I would have been nervous throughout the entire thing until it was all done.
Starting point is 00:34:18 Everyone went home. I was in my hotel room after and it's like, okay. Now it's done and I'm not going to think about anything that happened it's done it's over with that's it it just makes me in a way not want to do stuff because yeah because I know I know I'm capable of doing it I've done it a bunch see I'm actually going into that but every time I successfully do something and I got away with it I'm just like I should just stop doing stuff now why would I do that again why would I do that again yeah it's a do that again? Why would I do that again? Yeah, it's a...
Starting point is 00:34:47 It's not an issue. We kind of touched on that in a bleat face. This episode of the recive podcast brought to you by a show sponsor Better Help Online Therapy.

This podcast sponsored by BetterHelp and Rupert Podcast listeners get 10% off their first month at betterhelp.com slash rooster. That's B-E-T-T-E-R-H-E-L-P. dot com slash rooster. Yeah, next up.
Starting point is 00:36:01 I'm kind of the experiencing that a little bit, and it's foreign to me, and I don't like it, in that the pre-show jitters, which I do get for stand-up, like when we were doing stand-up. Oh, yeah, yeah. I would get that for sure. And that was like, even thinking about it makes me like, shake.
Starting point is 00:36:18 I told a fuck, I told a fucking story about a, on belief face, about a belief face about a situation, a predicament that I put myself in with stand-up comedy, that I had to fight my way out of, that is probably the manest I've ever been at myself, and probably the shittiest I've ever felt, and the most successful I've ever felt, all at once, but I never wanna,
Starting point is 00:36:40 it made me never wanna do stand-up again, which basically I wasn't prepared, and I had to wing it, and I was able to do it, but it was not fun and it wasn't good But other than that, yeah, I don't have the I don't have that I just it's the opposite We're all labor and stress about it forever afterward But we're doing this live stream on Friday called fuck face Bleep face bleep face break shit and
Starting point is 00:37:03 It's different than anything Ruchtees have done, and I'm scared of death about it. That's on Friday? It's on Friday at 4 p.m. Well, now I wanna know what's going on. It's 4 p.m. Yeah, it's basically, I've been obsessed for the last four or five months
Starting point is 00:37:14 with the collectible scene. And I started to get back into it at the start of the pandemic. And then, then, bleep face, it became kind of part and parcel to bleep face in what we do. And, I've kind of really keyed into the idea of, you know, with a Chima Hunter,
Starting point is 00:37:31 I think the thing that I thought was great about it was that, we always described it as a friendship simulator in a way, like, it's like four or five friends sitting on a couch and there's an empty space for you. And we want you to feel like you're on the couch with us. We're all playing the game, telling the jokes or like, you know, whatever together. But what this is with Bleatface break shit and kind of where I'm trying to take that is more like making the
Starting point is 00:37:54 audience more a part of it in bigger ways. Basically like bleat faces sort of becoming a performance art piece in some ways where we're like like the Don Zimmer thing and where we're like mobilizing the audience to like to really get to be a part of the content. And so I've got a lot of ideas to do that with baseball cards and basketball cards and dumb cards and stuff. But anyway, through the course of all of all of my obsession with this industry and I realized that um that me collecting like collecting baseball cards as a kid is how a team hunter started. It really is. It's like it was my desire to collect and accrue things. Friends?
Starting point is 00:38:35 Oh, I guess achievements. Achievements. Now you got, you nailed it. I think you really got it. I hadn't thought I'd considered that angle, but yeah, that tracks as well. It worked, it works. But this is basically, so this is basically, so like, fuck, belief-face break shit
Starting point is 00:38:50 is basically the genesis of what Achievement Hunter is. It's basically the origin story of Achievement Hunter, which is the pure, finding ways to have fun collecting things. And so what we'll do for an hour is Gavin and Andrew and I, and maybe Jack, I think he'll be there. I had a segment for Gus, but I don't think we'll be able to do it unless unless you want to go to Eagle Pass tonight No, yeah, so we'll do it next time if there is next time But which is be opening up packs of cards looking for Don Zimmer's looking for funny stuff I got like like some really goofy stuff like I got some Game of Thrones cards and they have autographs
Starting point is 00:39:23 Someone's really excited about. Spam risk. They have autograph cards in Game of Thrones trading cards and there's a hold-door card where he signed it. He signed it, hold-or, hold-or, which is funny. They say, quote, so the lady that says, shame, she signed her card, shame, and then her name, which is, how do I have watering them?
Starting point is 00:39:42 Thank you, Hannah Wadingham. Wow. It's this funny goofy stuff like that. Trying to collect it and then just like having conversations and Gavin's gonna have a sound board and play silly noises. Are you guys doing it at the studio? Yeah, yeah, we'll do it here a lot of sudden.
Starting point is 00:39:51 What are you doing with Andrew? He's going to, he's gonna be, we're gonna pit him in in a funny way. Okay, I was like, are we flying him in from wherever we go? No, no, no, we've got a gag. We've got an Andrew gag, but he will definitely be a part of it. But anyway, this whole thing because it's so different and because it's like, it's me sitting in front of the audience
Starting point is 00:40:08 just opening baseball cards and talking while I do it, which is, or Battlefield Earth cards, or all my children cards or whatever. Oh, my children. I have a bunch of all my children cards. No, you do. I do feel that, like, it's slightly too much. Dutch angle.
Starting point is 00:40:24 And I just, I'm scared that it won't be entertaining. I'm scared that people won't like it's slightly too much to look at. Dutch angle. And I'm scared that it won't be entertaining. I'm scared that people won't like it. Jeff, I think I speak for everybody in the audience when you could probably do anything you want and people will find it interesting. I hope so, man. But it's like, it is keeping me up at night. It's not like a night, chill, fun time. I hope so.
Starting point is 00:40:39 It's just so different. Break shit and all related to Break Stuff by Limbiscuit? No. Okay. No, I wish. and all related to break stuff by limb biscuit. No, okay. No, I wish zero of Abby Dude, that's a fucking deep cut right there. I forgot about that Yeah, that was the break stuff was that from the trailer trailer the trailer the actual trailer That was yeah, it wasn't the character in trailer. Yeah
Starting point is 00:41:04 Anyway, but that's the first time I found myself outside of stand up being scared about something. Yeah, I'm not sure. The character in trailer. Yeah. I'd be going fast way too long. Anyway, but that's the first time I've found myself outside of stand up being scared about something. Yeah. And I'm noticing it now. I don't know. Is it because you're like hosting it? I think it's just because it's different and I want it to do well. And it's because I've been like, I've been working toward this moment for about six months
Starting point is 00:41:19 in my head, trying to figure it out and trying to plan it. And it's the most effort I've put it to. I know you would, that's like Something something new that we're working on that we've been putting months and months of effort into that terrified of it's launch. I mean, no idea. You couldn't possibly know what I'm talking about. No, not at all.
Starting point is 00:41:34 No, I think in general, the last year has just been a real confidence killer, just from, yeah. Yeah. Having pretty much nothing new to talk about for an entire year. It's also you don't have the same type of, like you can't, you don't feel as creatively energized when you're at home. And when you're working remotely and coming up with ideas or just like solutions to how you would do shows. We're just looking at the same shit over and over. There's never any new like visual or any kind of like stimulation to like spark any type of different thinking. I don't think you're TV, but a good thing your TV broke. Something new.
Starting point is 00:42:05 Oh, yeah. Something new to try. I can't. I just can't. I was thinking the other day about Bleepface. It's that Andrew is now like one of the bigger players in my life, I speak to him all the time, texting him all the time.
Starting point is 00:42:15 I think I've met him twice. I feel like I'm getting cut out of this friendship. I feel like you, I feel like, I feel like I am. I am feeling very third wheel in the bleep face trying all these days. It's like, you know when you talk to someone on the phone who you know very well and you can kind of imagine their face saying this stuff down the phone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:33 I haven't seen Andrew in so long that I've, I've like morphed what he looks like in my head, I think. When I hear him like, while we're recording the podcast, I can't picture his face saying that stuff anymore. I don't know if I've ever met him. I might have met him like passing in the hallway, maybe might be my time. Probably met him at RTX or maybe at a like a pack.
Starting point is 00:42:52 But also the same with Gavin, I can't picture. All I picture is that stupid profile picture he has with that giant mustache. The glued on mustache? Yeah, that's all I can see if it's. I've seen that more times than his actual face. Yeah, no, the same thing. I, it's the same boat. If I see him in person and he doesn face. Say you, no, it's the same thing. It's the same boat.
Starting point is 00:43:05 If I see him in person and he doesn't have a glue on mustache, it's going to be weird. Oh, so you've seen he has to have a glue on face whenever he comes down to do anything in person. Glue on face. Facial hair. No, not a whole glue on face. That would be fun, too.
Starting point is 00:43:18 We'll give him that guzzman face. Like a Hannibal Lecter style. Where it's like a face on a face. Yeah. Face is all the way down. It is true though, you're talking about running out of stuff to talk about and do for a year. Like, one of my spirals with Gavin, I was like, similarly I was just like running out.
Starting point is 00:43:36 I was like, I did like eight episodes on socks for fuck's sake. I did a whole episode on finger nail clippings. Like, you're just really scraping the bottom of the barrel at some point. And you're just looking at, you're looking around like. Well, I felt bad for Gavin at the start of the pandemic because I think you were, you were doing the R.T. podcast. You were on, still on doing off topic every now and then and fuck face. And I was like, how does Gavin have enough stuff to talk about for a three-
Starting point is 00:44:04 Yeah. And the answer is I didn't tell him. I'll tell you the answer. Accent. How does Gavin have enough stuff to talk about for three odd caps? And the other thing is I didn't tell him. I'll tell you the answer. Accent. Yeah, it's a matter of what he says. Anything sounds great. It's a little bit different. Well, it's just like, I felt lucky doing black box downs.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Like, I didn't have to tell stories, right? It's like, yeah, we could research the topic and talk about that. It's not like I had to come up with the shit myself. Yeah, and it's the same thing for like when we would do like streams or gameplay videos. It's like you're talking about the game and like what you're doing in there. So you have something to like focus yourself around. But podcasts, it's just. Yeah. Auty podcasts off topic and bleep face is it's off topic three times really. I mean, they have different names, but that's kind of what it is. We need to attach yourself to
Starting point is 00:44:42 a like an annual pass type podcast where you don't have to say anything. You just sit there and listen to Jack for an hour. And then go, thanks for listening. And then you go. How many have you done? Five. We recorded episode six tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:44:57 Yeah. We recorded five episodes before the first episode came. How long are they? That's 45 minutes probably. I think they cut in about 45. 45. Is that just to make sure it was worth putting out? I have no fucking clue.
Starting point is 00:45:10 I mean, it's probably just. Let's get ahead while you can, I guess. Yeah, we're working on a new podcast too, that we recorded the first two episodes for, a new D&D audio podcast that we're doing called Tales from the Stinky Dragon. Trainers out now, subscribe to it or we get podcasts. Tales from the Stinky Dragon. Yeah, first episode comes out May 4th. doing called Tails from the stinky dragon. Trainers out now, subscribe to it where we get all that. Tails from the stinky dragon. Yeah, first episode comes out May 4th.
Starting point is 00:45:26 It's kind of a reference to you. So we were doing D&D live on RTTV for... A little over here? The entirety of the pandemic really. And Chris had this little rat character named Stinky. And he would make Stinky do everything. I hated that fucking thing. Everything.
Starting point is 00:45:43 Like, oh, Stinky's gonna go in and check this out or he's gonna go take this item or whatever it is. And so just became a running gag of having stinky involved in everything. And so when we were coming up with a name for the new podcast, I was like, well, something, we gotta have stinky in there. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:45:58 And so, Tails from the stinky dragon. Well, we want it, I wanted to call it the stinky dragon. Me too. Okay, but Someone by the name of Eric Badur would not let us call it the stinky dragon. Why because it's a sex act on Urban Dictionary Now I want to name it that boy Oh, he's calling me Somebody who named the podcast bleed face Edel. It's not worth it Put him on speaker. No speaker what
Starting point is 00:46:36 It's not a sex act. It's the name of a character Daddy wants I understand daddy wants some But his name's not a sex act. He's a stinky dragon Hang on, hang on, I don't think it's a popular enough sex Stagin has more intrigue no one knew that we had to look it up. But anyway, we're doing our own part. If you want to be a part of this, you got to come into the studio.
Starting point is 00:47:07 Get in the hamburger. ToonannetteRusty.com slash. You tried to get me up in the elevator. So who's on this podcast you guys are doing? It's, so Gus is our dungeon master. And then it's myself, Chris, Blaine, and John. Okay. And we recorded the first two episodes.
Starting point is 00:47:21 It's been great. I think it'll be really fun. How long are the episodes? They're been great. I think it'll be really fun. How long are the episodes? They're really short. I think 45 minutes. 45? Okay. Honestly, I feel like that's a nice sweet spot for podcasts.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Are you editing some of the mechanics out so that it's like an adventure story? We're trying to focus more on storytelling. And if you will have a phone with it, it's like, so the, the, you cut not all the what do I roles, what do I roles. I mean, yeah, you kind of cut that out, tighten it up.
Starting point is 00:47:50 We're trying to do things a little differently than we've done some of our D&D productions in the past. Like for starters, we're trying to really lean into the audio aspect. So the players don't see any board, they don't see anything. Okay. So we have to convey it, it has to be theater of the mind so we're trying to convey it to an audio only audience
Starting point is 00:48:05 There's no video at all associated with it. So it's like I'll have a board so I can keep track of it But it's on me to convey that adequately to them. Yeah, is that That's got to present a new kind of challenge as a DM for you. No, I mean not really if anything I mean, that's typically how D&D is done right? Yeah, if anything, it's like it makes sure that I'm doing my job properly really yeah I have a question for Eric Watch it. He's listen Eric. He's calling is it gonna be weekly the first Word in bleep face that we bleep out is A sex act thought
Starting point is 00:48:41 It's too late to cancel it 49 and 6 act so you guys are the main one If you called it tails from the bleepie bleep then yeah, I guess you could do that That's the example you want to go with I don't know what you just said. What are you getting is so fast? Usually there's a delay in it I'm doing my job that I'm good at. So I'm very on the pole. Oh, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? You're very good. I call tails from the stinky dragon.
Starting point is 00:49:13 Tails from the bleepie bleep. Then yes, he's wearing a mega hat. It's a terrible name. No, but what how are you wearing, Eric? Is that a mega hat? It's a producer. It's like a, it's more of a maroon car. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Right. No problem. Thank you, Eric. Yeah, no problem. I love you. Bye, Eric. Bye, Eric. Thank you for your input.

Starting point is 00:51:07 Name Bart. Name Bart. Bartra's funny. Bart's good too. But my name is Barb. Barb. Yes. So I just wanted to confuse everyone as much as possible.
Starting point is 00:51:17 Bard Bart. Barb playing the Bard name Bart. It's pretty good. If you have an accent, it all sounds like the same. Barb. I've never played a bard before, so it's interesting. It's pretty good. If you just, if you have an accent, it all sounds like the same. Barred. I've never played a bar before, so it's interesting. Are you having fun?
Starting point is 00:51:31 Yes, except I wanted to program some like, like loot playing on my go excel art, so I could like pop it out. You can play the loot. I have a, I have it. It's called a Mandarin, and I have it. I have one. Those are Mandarin or oranges. Isn't it called a mandolin? Mandolin. No no it's not a mandolin it's something else mandarin
Starting point is 00:51:49 Who's not a mandarin mandalorian mandal and maybe some mandalorian it's not a loot though Remember I had a special special name. Could I get some samples of you playing it just for my we'd have to go back to the old What was that show we did here's a heart Jerry mandering What is it called I thought it was a Is it not mandolin I look up mandarin music instrument and it just showed me mandolin It's a mandolin it's not a mandolin. It was something else. Okay. I'm gonna look up stupid guitar Thanks, it's not a loot it's similar to a loot I don't know. Okay. It's a hot pistachio pick it's a deep down But it's fun. Yeah The piano is the stupidest guitar because you have
Starting point is 00:52:30 The piano is the stupidest guitar. That's your fucking title. Oh my god. Terrible. That's a lecture. What else do you guys have going on? Oh, yeah. Um, I guess it's a good segue to talk about the new stuff We've been working on. I tried to keep talking about how about how I was nervous. No, I appreciate it. Yeah, no, Jeff is doing the Lord's work here. So we kind of talked about it, journal anniversary, about how there's obviously a lot of confusion, which we agree with about how there's a team of hunter, there's fun house, and then there's Rooster Teeth.
Starting point is 00:52:59 Also kind of known as Artie Core, which is like an official unofficial title. It's never something we gave ourselves. It just kind of happened because calling us Rupert's was confusing because the company is also named Rupert's teeth. And so there's always been this thing up in the air of like what do we do about this? How do we distinguish ourselves? There's a lot of brand confusion. Even internally. Absolutely. Because I'm confused. And it's like it's also like we're all Rupert's teeth. We're all part of this company.
Starting point is 00:53:25 And so to have one group be called Rooster Teeth kind of takes away from the fact that we're all part of this Rooster Teeth family. So we kind of teased it during our anniversary, but we are officially starting our own brand. Yes. It's gonna be myself, Gus, Blaine, Chris and John, as you're probably very aware of,
Starting point is 00:53:45 you've seen us on the Rochy Channel together for this whole year. You're here, yeah. And I guess, should I say the name? I don't know, are you ready? I saw you guys teased it on the Twitter. Yeah, so I teased it. The acronym is STF.
Starting point is 00:53:59 Well, he's your, I like, I like, super taco fun. Super taco fun. Which I kind of wanted to change it. It was like, I was like, I don't know why he did it like, great day. I didn't go to talk a lot. Which I kind of wanted to change it. I don't know why it never came up before. We might have to change it. We played around, like honestly,
Starting point is 00:54:13 and Jeff, you probably could commiserate about this so much, but naming shit is so difficult. Coming up with a name of a brand is so challenging. There were so many things thrown around. Yeah, you like come up with an idea and you're like, yeah, we all love it. Oh, they're starting. It's already used. Or like, oh yeah, that's exact. I know. I think it's actually quite easy to name something when it's not yours. Like when somebody's like, hey, I need help with a name. You're like, oh,
Starting point is 00:54:42 here's five dumb ideas. But the second it's like, barb, I need you to name your podcast's like, hey, I need help with a name. You're like, oh, here's five dumb ideas. But the second it's like, barbed I need you to name your podcast or like Jeff, you have a new thing coming out. And you need to know, it's impossible. And to, I'll go to my grave. I love everything about what we've accomplished over these last 18 years ago. But if I could unname us, Rooster Teeth. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:55:00 I would give just about any amount of money to do that. And if I could unname us, achievement, I would do that too. I hate those so much. I just submit paperwork to the US government and explain why we're used to teeth One of the time. I've decided that if I meet people And they ask what I do Merlin. That's what's called sorry. It's a Merlin. Yeah, that's a wizard It was called a Merlin. They're right. It was called a Merlin Like I'm not gonna I can't I'm done talking about Rooster Teeth. If I meet someone, I'm an IT consultant. Like I can't, yeah, I can't, I don't want to fucking get, I don't want to help you with your YouTube channel.
Starting point is 00:55:33 I don't know how that shit works. I can't, I can't do that anymore. I get a lot of teen years. I get a lot, yeah. I get a lot of people asking me for like, oh, you're working animation. Can you ask? And I'm like, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah You have a lot of power right now in your hands. You have an officially announced it as super taco phone or anything else. You could pivot right now or you could hold on to that. What is that? Earthsea Trilogy, right? Where it was like, you know, Ursula Gwynn, like if you know somebody's true name,
Starting point is 00:56:16 you have power over them. Like a Ruppelstiltskin? That too. You guys have, nobody knows your name, you have power right now. It could be anything. You could hide the name forever and make people guess what it is.
Starting point is 00:56:30 But the social handles are already in good. There's, we got a logo. No, I noticed, there's still time. Pivot to the food thing. You don't even have to do that. You just be like, it could be like, what do you think it means? Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:41 That's it. Yeah, that's what people, I see people in chat right now. We have chat up who are, or are guessing a whole bunch of stuff. US production company. Apparently there's like a wrestling move called, God, I have to look it up. They really wanted something to hold.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Sinkies that fly, whatever that means. Jeff, please stop. That's not the right letters, Dickhead. Step over to hold space lock. Spin the fun. I will say, like, if people have been watching our content. They've heard it before Yeah, they've heard us use this term before it kind of has had come up in a tongue and cheek kind of way I'm loving to see so the fuck
Starting point is 00:57:18 That one's all time fun Shitting then fucking these are great. Oh, I should better than that. Show the feet was pretty good too. Show the feet. Maybe it's all of these things and the logo just changes every episode. Maybe we haven't figured it out and we're just like sourcing it. We're just like, yeah, just throw it three letters to people and see if they come up with anything good. Yeah. Anyway, but you should you could probably tell them what the room is, but this is so much fun. They're losing their minds trying to figure it out. And also madamee now. So now I don't know if I want to say the name or not. Oh, there's clothes. They were clothes. That's seen a couple that were pretty close.
Starting point is 00:57:45 Yeah, there's some people who have like used some of the words. And I nailed it. Stop the farts. Yeah. That fought. Anyway, we'll tell you next week. Come on. Say it.
Starting point is 00:57:54 It's a squad team force. So it kind of came up as you could guess. But I think it's a lot of people who have been in the squad team force. I think it's a lot of people who have been in the squad team force. I think it's a lot of people who have been in the squad team force. I think it's a lot of people who have been in the squad team force. I think it's a lot of people who have been in the squad team force. I'll tell you next week, come on. Come on. Say it. It's a squad team force. So it kind of came up as you could guess, Blaine was a huge fan of this name. But it's very much that tongue and cheek over the top, kind of like 90s cartoon aesthetic
Starting point is 00:58:18 of like this group of people who are just really dumb. But. Yeah, I mean, it's better than achieving a hunter. Like we don't do that. Couldn't be one. We, how long do you think we spent, months, suggesting names and talking about it? And it's funny because squad team force was something that we just like came up with randomly as a temporary hole.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Right, it was like the placeholder document name. Yeah. We had this long list of a bunch of names. And one day, it was almost like, what about that one? Like, it's just like- And they were like, you know what? It's stuck. We've been staring at it for months.
Starting point is 00:58:52 Yeah. At least, but you guys, yeah, I just started thinking about when we had the name Haunter, that took about a six months to a year, and nobody was ever happy ever. If you guys are happy with STF, then that's great. I think it's a great name. Okay, I was thinking.
Starting point is 00:59:06 If you're happy with it, that's cool. I think no, I think it's great to start off happy with it because we weren't like, I mean, I would have loved it. We had no fucking clue. Rochita was gonna be staying. If you had to rename a team of Hunter, what would you name it?
Starting point is 00:59:18 I don't know, but I wasn't happy with Achievement Hunter when I picked it. Like it was like, it had been going on for so long and we had been going over for so long, and we had been going over it for so long, and it was like the best of the options. You know what I mean? And I really wish Hwanta was called, are you there ghosts? It's me too.
Starting point is 00:59:34 I know, that was my favorite one. Although it's not very like broadly a key old. I like the, on your market set, ghost. Yeah, it's like the funny ones the funny ones are better names But don't make any sense to people who don't know us. Yeah, and if we're trying to sell it Yeah, not everything has to be an inside joke punny name. I mean even achievement haunter makes no sense of what we changed All right, that's it we're changing I really like the logo treatment All right, that's it. We're changing. That's fucking crazy at the floor.
Starting point is 01:00:05 I really like the logo treatment. The logo too. Yeah. And the colors and everything for it. The color scheme is fucking nice. Yeah, it's at that very like 90s aesthetic that we really are excited about. And like, I mean, I can't help but think of blame
Starting point is 01:00:18 whenever I think of squatting forces being this just like macho, like super into superheroes and comics and all that stuff. Imagine if you lived the next 90s. It could. I was born in 89 if I looked to 101. I'll be there. You can do it, that's doable. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:39 Well listen to Jira, he didn't say shit about me. I'm not doing it. I'm not fucking seeing it. I'm never gonna make it. Okay. I'm not dumb, I'm not fucking saying shit. You guys never be scared. I'm gonna make it. Okay. I'll be there. I'm not that important. We talked about this. No, we have to, I'm not going anywhere. I will live forever.
Starting point is 01:00:54 Steve Jobs said the same thing. Deal. Yeah, I'm not, I'm not gonna fucking try to cure cancer with root bagas and shit though. Yeah, yeah, yeah, fruit. Oh, yeah, all the money in the world and did, yeah, no actual treatment with it. I guess not until the end.
Starting point is 01:01:08 Not until the end. I mean, I read his biography when it came out. It's like, I think he was seeing too far ahead of where we are in the world. He was looking at cancer as something that is a chronic manageable disease. And his thought was, he thought at the time that we were at the point where it was something you could live with if you just learned how to manage it correctly. I think eventually down the road, we may get to that point, but we're not there, and he was not there. Yeah, that guy should have been born in like 2150.
Starting point is 01:01:45 He would have been right at home. Who do you think was a bigger, who do you think was a bigger visionary in their life? And I realized it's not fair because one of these people is dead and the others aren't, but do you think Bezos, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, or Bernie Burns. Or, Sagan.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Jobs? Jobs. I think probably... I mean, I know I love Jobs more. It probably Bezos. But, because he had like the intention, I feel like he always intended to do what he did. Yeah, I think Bezos saw it, like he drew a line in the sand that was decades down the road.
Starting point is 01:02:26 And it was like, we're starting here and we're gonna get over there. And he's successfully navigated and did it. To the point where it's like, Amazon is a fucking crazy company that does everything except make video games and mobile phones. Yeah. They cannot do those things, they've tried.
Starting point is 01:02:42 Those are two things they just cannot do. I guess it's like why not Just just put more resources into that if they want to but they're doing everything else so well, right? Yeah Or you know what I mean. I think you're I think you're monetarily well. I think you're probably right. I think jobs Was innovative. I think ultimately he was a marketer. He was like a futurist right like he He's a lot of gates in the chat. He could figure out what people wanted and how to get there. Gates, I think, was like a super smart technical genius. I think, you know, it's been well,
Starting point is 01:03:14 document well covered. A lot of those early days of like Windows and Mac OS, like switching to a gooey operating system, like, oh, that was kind of stolen from Xerox anyway. Like, there was really no originality and a lot of that stuff. Yeah, no. The originality is people who we don't know
Starting point is 01:03:30 who worked at Xerox on that. It was very much that like they caught fire and it was like, what do you do with it, right? And you expand it from that. And I do think, in some ways, it was even reactionary probably for a period of time. And Musk, I think, is just rich. But he's thinking of like, I think he might need to back up the human race. I think he, I
Starting point is 01:03:50 think he's just put a lot of money. I think he's, he's betting on himself, putting a lot of his own money into his own ventures. But honestly, I don't, you don't think there's any altruism behind that? No, you think SpaceX is purely a monetary footprint for that. There's a lot of I have a lot of problems. You must know I It's a complicated dude now. I would I certainly do as well. Yeah, I can't imagine like I I think I get annoyed at like the boring company and I get annoyed at his idea about a filter for news agencies to like filter out real news and fake news like These ideas that seem that maybe he hadn't heard of before and that he Get's credit for inventing it's like the boring companies to glorify the subway for one car, right?
Starting point is 01:04:37 Yeah, it's it's fixing a problem of traffic by utilizing Another one of his companies by putting people in cars. Instead of fixing the problem in a bigger way to solve it for mass transit as a, like instead of eliminating cars, it's just a vehicle to sell more cars. Yeah. SpaceX is a little different. But I mean, ultimately a lot of that is just like billionaires have money and that's what they do. They go to space. Yeah, I guess that's true too or as Gates
Starting point is 01:05:06 It's like a lot of what a lot of what he spends his money on now is his disease prevention, right? And like yeah, eradicating shit like malaria Which is actually good for the world It's interesting. Hmm. Yeah, I mean and I think Amazon think Amazon has a lot of problems as well, but I think that looking at what I think, of course, I'm no expert in this field or anything, where they started at from step one to where they were going, I think it is Bayzo. Well, I will say one gets the impression that Bayzo has been on a path the entire time, and I certainly don't feel like that about the other guys necessarily. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:46 Hmm. Guys, we have 55 followers now on the squad team force Twitter account. Hey, congratulations. 55. That's huge. Are we verified yet? Not yet.
Starting point is 01:05:57 Oh, we got. We got nine on Instagram. Ooh. All right, back to the conversation. Oh. What was the back to the conversation. What was the name of the guy who had 10% of Apple that he sold for 800 bucks? Pete Best. Oh, he sold it like a week after they started the company, right?
Starting point is 01:06:14 Yeah, he got a cold feet. And I think he sold his 10% back to them, freaked out for like 800. But I think now it's worth 200 million if they were to be. Ronald Wayne. Yeah. it's worth 200 million if they were to run. Ronald Wayne. He sold 10% back for $800. One year later, accepted a final US $1500 to forfeit any potential future claims against the newly formed Apple. But what is going on with GameStop?
Starting point is 01:06:40 10% of Apple today. Peter Hayes is following over three. Peter Hayes? Peter Hayes, I know you you found it. Yeah, Peter Hayes found this quite team. You found it. As of last year, 10% of Apple would be 95 billion dollars. Yeah, but only with this. Only with two trillion now. Wasn't that with when they were trillion? How much is that for? Their market cap is currently $2.26 trillion. That was my... Yeah, so it's more than $226 billion. Yeah, that was a really expensive $800 that he spent.
Starting point is 01:07:12 What would you be doing now if you were billionaire? Would you be sitting here? Would you be... Fucking who knows? The open and better packs of baseball cards will tell you that. I want to pose this question to you guys, because this is the hypothetical I talked about with Trevor last night.
Starting point is 01:07:28 Okay. Let's say you were a multi-billionaire. You said like, fuck you money. Okay. If you could buy a neighborhood in some like beautiful place, south of France, whatever, to the point where you could afford a house in place for everyone you know,
Starting point is 01:07:43 all your friends and family to stay and live forever and give them each like a million dollars. I just wouldn't work. Everyone would be... Do you think people would do it and would you want that? Hell no. No. It wouldn't work. It would be intolerable.
Starting point is 01:07:58 Everyone would be a complete pullback. You would be the... You would be... First off. I don't want to spend time... I don't want to spend too much time with anyone, anyone to begin with. You would be, you would be first off. I don't want to spend time, I don't want to spend too much time with anyone anyway to begin with. But this is your neighborhood.
Starting point is 01:08:10 This is your neighborhood. This is your neighborhood. This is your neighborhood. I'd wake up on board and Gavin would have hit my car in the driveway and I'd have to see that face. I'd hit all of your Lamborghini's. It wouldn't be that. It wouldn't be that.
Starting point is 01:08:23 It'd be like when Gavin and Barb get into a fight and then they go to you. Because you're the middleman now. Because you're the one to bottle the property and you're the one to corral everyone together. So suddenly all of the problems come to your mind. It's a roll and you're mad. And you know, you're in charge of rooster.
Starting point is 01:08:35 You're managing an H-O-Way full of people who were your friend. You know what I mean? It's just a neighborhood that you happen to be able to buy on a house. I thought it, don't be rubbish. I don't want more Cuban did it. Plus, didn't work out for him.
Starting point is 01:08:48 The reason, like, because ultimately, if you wanted to, you could just be like, I'm gonna go live in this place, whatever, and do whatever I want, and have a different job, live a different life. But you would miss your friends, right? You would miss people in your life. Well, I don't think I would do anything different. What do you mean?
Starting point is 01:09:08 I just feel like I'm living my billionaire life even though I don't have it. I just suck. I just suck. I don't agree. Yeah. Like what? I want to ride my bicycle for two hours every day.
Starting point is 01:09:17 Like I wake up thinking about riding my bicycle and I go to bed thinking, I'm gonna ride my bicycle tomorrow. I hope I have time. And I do that. And I don't know that a billion dollars would help me do it anymore. I don't want to punch all of it. I don't want to punch in your stuff. I hope I have time. And I do that. And I don't know that a billion dollars would help me do it anymore. I don't want to punch you.
Starting point is 01:09:26 I don't want to punch you. I don't want to punch you stuff. I don't want any more land. I think it's because I've been watching this house hunter show where people look at houses and the Caribbean or like. Caribbean life? Yes.
Starting point is 01:09:38 Is that about Caribbean life? Yes. It makes me think that would be amazing if I could just, like, first of all, the US and a lot of places in the world are, I don't know, it feels not great to live here sometimes. And so I've obviously thought about where would I want to move if that was a possibility, where would I want to live? And then I'm like, but if I went there, I would miss my friends. So I want to take them with me. So stay with your friends. But I don't want to live where my friends are because the place that they live sucks. I'll say this anecdotally, right?
Starting point is 01:10:07 There was a period of about two or three years where Gus and I lived two streets away from each other. Yeah. We lived in the same neighborhood. I could walk to Gus's house in six minutes. What's that? Wasn't that great. Wasn't that great?
Starting point is 01:10:21 Yeah. You were there. You guys both stayed in that house when Gus was living there. The amount, if I ever saw the inside of Gus's house, it was probably walking either of you over there to show you where Gus lived or vice versa. Like, in the years that we lived there, I think when you moved to Puerto Rico. I think the one time you went in that house was when it was under construction and you broke it.
Starting point is 01:10:40 Yeah, I did that. You broke it. I was in the house probably three times, totally. But it's kind of like when you moved to Puerto Rico and I was like, we were like, oh, it's going to ruin our friendship and then I realized it doesn't because most of our friendship is video game and text-based now just text-based, right? Or phone-based. So yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:10:58 I just, I don't know. It was just one of those, like, I'm daydreaming about. It's a fun daydream. All of my friends would be around and it'd be convenient and money's not an issue I get that yeah, but like Gavin and I live I don't know 10 minute bike ride Oh probably a five minute car ride I live closer to gabs and just like anybody probably I mean people I mean, it's not that big so it's not that big and I have Bend your house twice and only to pick you up to go for bike rides twice. Yeah. I've never seen the inside of your house.
Starting point is 01:11:25 There was change that there. There was an article in the New York Times today. It's actually what I sent you earlier, Jeff. There was that kind of talks about what you're talking about right now, Barbara. It was a terrible headline, I feel what it was, but it's a little bit about the Yolo economy. Yeah. About how as a result of the pandemic and working from home for a year, a lot of people are reprioritizing the things in their lives. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:49 And saying like, if it doesn't matter where I work from, why am I still accumulating all of this stuff, and why am I still, you know, working my ass off at a job that maybe I'm not happy with? Why don't I just go somewhere nice, like downsize my life and work like a small, no stress job, like get economy stuff, and just be happy, like why don't I trade cryptos and ETFs and just do that on the side whenever I need money. Right, yeah, and just like really enjoy life.
Starting point is 01:12:21 Like I think, you know, the having been locked at home and seen so much misery over the last years made a lot of people reprioritize the things in their lives and wonder like why don't I just do things to make myself happy? Like we only have such a limited amount of time here. Yeah, why not fucking be happy with it? Why go to a job you hate and Why should you don't like? I didn't even thought of like if I if I were to change careers like what what would be a just a job that would be like, no stress, so just be fun.
Starting point is 01:12:48 And I'm like, maybe when I'm older and like, not quite ready, you're tired, but like still want something to do. If you move to a place like Hawaii, for example, and let's say there's like a nice resort there, like working at the resort. You're around people who are in a good mood, who are just there to like have a good time.
Starting point is 01:13:02 You're bringing people joy by, you know, working that job and it's like you're in a good mood who are just there to have a good time, you're bringing people joy by working that job and it's like you're in a nice place and just it's not a lot of stress. It's not a job you have to answer after hours of emails or get on the common calls. You leave it there when you drive away. Yeah, I can't imagine what that's like. You're gonna leave your job at your job.
Starting point is 01:13:21 And then all this saying, I love your shoes. I love making hair, but like in terms of like long term future, what am I gonna be doing when I'm like 60? When you're in the 90s again. When I'm in the second 90s. Or you know, maybe even sooner, who knows? It all depends on like where life takes you, but it's not something that I've thought about it.
Starting point is 01:13:42 A lot this pandemic I think. I will say the best job I've ever had, including Rooster Teeth, is working at a video store. Now, granted, that economy's gone. That industry's dead. I can't say I can't go work at a video store again, but that was the most stress-free, just everybody that worked there was cool. Customers at a video store are not in jerks. No, not really. And it's just easy. Customers at a video store are not in jerks. No, not at all yet. And it's just easy. You just, it's just, it's just,
Starting point is 01:14:08 it's a budget job. Million dollar idea, Jeff. Okay. New video store for a new century. You set up a store where you help people find the movie they want to watch on the video streaming service they already have access to. Someone comes in, they're like,
Starting point is 01:14:20 I want to watch Nomad Land. I heard it on an Academy Award. I don't know how to watch it. You're like, that's on Hulu, do you have Hulu? I love that idea, here's the problem. I have an Apple, my phone that does that. You enter it, anything you want, and it tells you where you can go.
Starting point is 01:14:33 I've got to say cool Google. It's built into your phone. You can use the TV app to filter into the Apple phone to tell you, but I think a lot of people don't do that. They don't know, they're like, I don't know how to watch this movie. They got a Google it, it's like, oh, do I pay $3.99 on the Amazon store to watch it? Do I pay $2.99 on YouTube? You're like, I don't know how to watch this movie. They got a Google it. It's like, oh, do I pay $3.99 on the Amazon store to watch it? Do I pay $2.99 on YouTube?
Starting point is 01:14:47 You like, just like consolidated. It's like the new movie phone. That's it. We're gonna get a phone number. People are gonna call us and we're gonna tell them how to watch the movie they wanna watch on whatever service they want. You got a lot of good idea.
Starting point is 01:14:58 Yeah, Gus, Gus movie phone. Movie Gus phone. We'll work on it. It's Quantine Force. We'll work on the name. Yeah, it's coming up. Don't you hate the phone? I do.
Starting point is 01:15:07 That's the worst part for you. That is the worst part. But it is very, a very foreign idea to have a job where you don't think about it 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 52 weeks a year. And not saying that's a bad thing, but it is like,
Starting point is 01:15:22 like Ruchartee has been my life since I was 15, inside and out. And so, you know, everything has revolved around that. I understand what you mean. I think it's just kind of the way the world used to work. I guess it doesn't anymore, but I guess that's an antiquated idea that you find a job and that job becomes your life
Starting point is 01:15:41 and you work there for 20 years and then you get a retirement and then you die, right? And like, but that's the way, like, I was in the, that's the way it's been for me since 18. Like, it was like that way in the army, I was a journalist, like, you were working for every soldier, sailor, airman, marine, Coast Guard person is working 24 hours a day,
Starting point is 01:15:58 seven days a week, the entire time they're in there. And then we worked at the tech company, Telon Network, where we were on call 24 hours a day as managers and then Rucheteeth. It just feels like it's been, it just feels like that's grown up, like adulthood to me is, I've just only ever been in careers
Starting point is 01:16:15 that are all in conversation. I guess, yeah. I guess I worked at an office store. Office of point, I was the beeper repairman. That was the only time I didn't have a girlfriend. I actually really liked working at Burger King. I had a good time. I got really good at it.
Starting point is 01:16:29 I got really good at it. I got really good at it. It's something to work by yourself. That didn't seem very great though. It was nice when it wasn't too busy. If I was by myself and it was like a Saturday night, it was hell, but other than that, it was just like, just making food and then if it wasn't busy,
Starting point is 01:16:42 I would make food for myself, going back and eat it. Have yourself a wapper? Yeah. A wapper junior. Oh sorry. I ate an impossible wapper the other day. How was it?
Starting point is 01:16:52 It's good. I like the impossible wapper. That was before my time. Sorry, that's after my time. I had one not so long ago and it was really good. It wasn't an impossible wapper but I had an impossible burger the other day that was I could not tell the difference. Hopda audio actually has a really good one.
Starting point is 01:17:03 It might have been, I don't know where it was. Oh I can't believe I'm saying that was I could not tell the difference hop dog you actually has a really good one might have been yeah, I don't know where it was But I can't really I'm saying that I fucking what's gonna be the hottest meat to Give up well to replicate Fegie Cuban style Cuban yeah, oh Cuban yeah, Cuban me I also heard that song Cuban meat I also heard what he said Cuban sir. Yeah Cubans are humans what I sushi that would be hot I I also heard Cuban. Well, he said Cuban. So. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:25 Cubans are humans. What about sushi? That'll be hot. I feel like you could replicate fish flavor pretty easily. They already have like imitation crab, right? Yeah. Crab with a K. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:37 I feel like maybe pork would be difficult like bacon. Do they have, they have bacon? Yeah, that's a really good vegan bacon. Faken. Faken. Bacon, bacon. If anything that's a really good vegan bacon. Faken. Faken. Faken. If anything, I would think like, deli slices.
Starting point is 01:17:50 Apparently, vegan cheese is really hard to get right, according to Gus. No, there's a great place that what I got today was not good, but there's a really good place with a good vegan cheese cluster here. Gus was eating vegan cheese and vegan pretzel. Or the pretzel's right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:04 Do you think 11 not be,, will it always just be called vegan cheese or that just have a new name for the ingredients that are in it? Yeah, because they're neat. There needs to be a new name. There's this like speaking of which, I'm, I accept the living in Texas can be very difficult. Oh.
Starting point is 01:18:21 And it just really pisses me off when government officials intentionally spread misinformation to just rile up the base. Like, I don't know you talked about that's happened. In this country. Greg Abbott, the other day tweeted that in Biden's new, this whole green new deal in Biden's new, whatever he called it, that Americans would only be allotted four pounds of meat a year and that you could not have burgers on Fourth
Starting point is 01:18:49 of July. And Greg, I have a tweet like that's never going to happen in Texas. Like, well, yeah, nope. It's also never going to happen anywhere. It's not going to happen anywhere because that's not true. That's like categorically, no, nobody's asking anybody to do that. And it's like, it's just intended to piss me on. I'm not working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, I incredibly low-voter turnip. This is such, every election is important. This one is also super fucking important.
Starting point is 01:19:27 Hey, and nobody's getting out there. I don't wanna talk about it on camera, but I would love to talk about how you voted. Yeah. If you wanna talk about it. I am Emily and I have been just racked with how to vote. It's very complicated, very nuanced situation.
Starting point is 01:19:45 Right. That is being diluted. That is being diluted. For talking points. It's about the home-wings and campments, right? Yes. I think I know how I'm going to vote, but I'm curious to hear. So opinions.
Starting point is 01:19:58 The election day is May 1st, and as of today, 8% of registered voters in Travis County have voted. I think early voting tomorrow is the last day of early voting. Yeah, which I'll probably do it. I'll do it tomorrow. I just have been holding off because I just I still feel comfortable. I just don't feel comfortable with it. Yeah, they're just trying to make your decision.
Starting point is 01:20:18 Yeah, it's just it's so heartbreaking and yeah, it's a really serious it's a really serious decision to make, you know? Yeah, and I think it's gonna be close. I think I don't know, I really don't know what we're gonna go. I have no idea. And like you said, it's nuance, it's not an easy thing. And there's a lot of misinformation. Right. It's almost like every vote is like that.
Starting point is 01:20:38 Unfortunately. For everything. Yeah, because this one is like. A lot of conflicting info, a lot of, yeah. This one's just like. Difficult decision. Super affects everyone in Austin immediately and right now. Because this one is like, a lot of conflicting info, a lot of, yeah. This one's just like, difficult decisions. Super affects everyone in Austin immediately and right now.
Starting point is 01:20:48 Sure. In big ways, yeah. Yeah. But, yeah. So, go do something about it. I'm sure there's an election coming up wherever you live too. Go, go do it. Go vote.
Starting point is 01:20:58 Nobody's doing it apparently. Yeah. Like, people like to vote for the presidential election because that's the big one. There's tons of other elections that happen All the time make sure you read up on them and for the people that complain that voting for the president doesn't matter You're not correct, but even if it even if you were voting in local elections matters a lot. Yes a shit load Morso way more so and they also I guess like the initial census numbers are out and Just gain in two seed years losing two. Yeah, no near exclusive one. I guess like the initial census numbers are out and Just gaining two seeding years losing two. Yeah, no New York losing one. I thought in the
Starting point is 01:21:28 College of Electrol no in the House representatives Oh Congress oh, because all of the all of the representatives are divvy based on population That's why the census is such a big deal on such a tricky deal and why it has to remain non-partisan Hmm because how you count matters Yes, yeah, so yeah such a tricky deal and why it has to remain non-partisan because how you count matters. Yes, yeah. So, yeah. So yeah, thanks for getting to more.
Starting point is 01:21:52 Boat. I don't know. There was something dumb I was gonna say before, but now I don't remember, and I feel like it's not as important.
