Hello everyone welcome to the receipt podcast. I'm Gus. I'm Gavin. I'm Brian. Shoot. I forgot the order already. I'm Brian. You did great. I'm Barbara. And I'm Gus. Welcome back everyone. It's a we're back from the holiday break. Everyone's rested. We're back from the day. Ready to podcast back to life. That's what it's called.

That's what the R.T. podcast is going to be called in 2021. R.T. podcast back to life. That's what it's called. That's what the RTPog is going to be called in 2021. RTPog has back to life. Back to life. No more no bullshit. Chicken McNaggets. No more bullshit. Back to basics. So you know, I bitch about this every year. I'm gonna bitch about it again. Squares. No, one of my neighbors launches fireworks, which is whatever. But they were still launching them last night. I get 12.30 in the morning. I'm laying in bed. I have that too because I hear fireworks. Yep. It's like, what the fuck are you doing that you bought this many fireworks and you still have them? And you like you could have launched them at any time earlier in the evening. I didn't hear any all night until I get until I'm lying in bed at 12.30 in the

morning and the fucking fireworks golf. But I will say this. So I've been I'm lying in bed at 12.30 in the morning and the fucking fireworks go off. But I will say this. So I've been I've been having to listen to this for several years now, like always for the July and and the week before and the week after and New Year's Eve and the week before and week after these people like launching fireworks. So I'm laying in bed last night. I hear the fireworks go off. I opened my eyes like fuck. Here we go again. It was like a 12.30 on the dot. And then like at 12.31, they start launching more. And I'm looking at my ceiling. And as I'm staring at my ceiling,

I see red and blue flashing lights. And I hear the trip of a police car. Karma, oh my God. I think they're must of, like, normally the police never come in if you call for a fire sort of. They must have just been driving down the road and thought, what kind of asshole largest fireworks at 12.30 in the morning?

They probably just like chirp their lights at them to make them stop. Wait, and what night did you say this was? This was last night. Oh, okay, because at first I thought you were talking about New Year's Eve and I was like, well, yeah, they're gonna launch them at 12.30 because New Year's is at midnight

and you're just gonna keep going. This was last night January 3rd or the morning of January 4th. Yeah, that's, guys, really excited that 2020's over. Let him be happy. Maybe, maybe. That's too many days after though. That's like leaving your Christmas tree up in April.

That's just too way to, way to three nights. Like the second, okay, maybe. But January 4th is the April of filers. That's right. It's got to, it's got to, it's got a, it's like a human ears versus dog ears. Like there's such a weird discreet. It's exactly. They actually started launching them on Christmas Eve, December 24.

So I had a solid 10 days of a firework so far. So I'm hoping that last I was it that they're done with, uh, with the fireworks until the end of June. Do you know the guy? Uh, no, I, I know, I never know exactly where it is. that they're done with the fireworks until the end of June. Do you know the guy? No, I never know exactly where it is. Like if I look at my window, I can see the direction it's in, but it's not like on my street.

It's like maybe the street behind, maybe the street behind that, I don't know. I don't want to get my car and go out there and look for them. There's no point in doing that. But it's like it's somewhere back behind my house. I don't know where.

But it looks cool. Oh, I knew your seatbelt. I was like, yeah, that looks pretty cool. Have you yeah, can you see fireworks in your neighborhood? Like we stepped outside right at midnight when and and stepped out so it was like the fall of bag dad or Just it was like it was cool though. It was like a free three-minute show. Yeah. Yeah, I honestly expected there to be a lot of people lighting fireworks in their own neighborhoods because of the pandemic of course people aren't going to like a location to all watch it together. So I thought there would be like a lot more neighborhood fireworks in their work. It's a surprise. Yeah, I mean, I think I thought I probably thought the same thing as well. It's a surprise. Yeah, I mean, I think I thought I probably thought the same thing as well. You know, was there even if the city didn't launch any fireworks, right?

Even if you couldn't go, there was no like official fireworks display. I don't think so. I don't I don't think so either. I assume they didn't want to bring a load of people together. Yeah. Yeah, we had a we we bought some and my favorite was called the Naughty Dog and it was a hunched over dog, like looking like it was about to take a shit. And you lit the fuse was right in his

ass. And so you light it. And it made a few sparks, but the real, the real sort of star of the show was this ash just came out of its bottom. So it just looked like it was just taking a giant shit. Oh, so didn't go anywhere. No, it didn't move. It really just that ash coming out of its ass for like 30 seconds. I'm watching a YouTube video of one right now. Yeah. Yeah, that's a bad dog. You're just shit all over that rock. Yeah, no, it's exactly what you think it would be. Yeah. I feel like launching fireworks from the ground is a waste because not as many people can see them. If you launch them down at Earth from space, I think more people will be able to see it. And you'd get more bang for your buck.

It's like the theory behind detonating nuclear weapons in the air, like doing air bursts above a city as opposed to having to explode on the ground. Yeah, more people get affected. So are you trying to say that someone should fly up into the air and launch fireworks from the sky? Like someone? Like straight down. Yeah, I'm sure that'll be really cheap to do.

I'm very happy. It's possible. How would they do that? Like, would you like get a skydiver to go up there and like as he's jumping like, through two. You just have a plane go up like 40,000 feet and drop just one ginormous fireworks. And then multiple cities will be able to see it.

And probably be a little fun. And probably be a little fun. That's right. Why would the people find it? It's not gonna land on the ground. I mean, it will, but not lit. They'll be dispersed and go out. They did that one time.

I remember as a kid, they did something similar to that. Do you not remember? It was called the challenger and everyone got excited. They should just get the more drones the better. They should just get Elon Musk to send up one of his rockets because it's going to blow up at some point. Just pack it with fireworks when it comes come back when it comes back down. They never land accurately. I don't think they launch them at night though.

Well, you'd to be awake. What's the luck really? Yeah, I guess you're right. Yeah. Well, they can do a lot nighttime. I mean, space is dark. They don't need daylight to take off. Exactly. I like how the weather always has to be soap Oh, yeah, yes, wow Yep, that's it Oh, it it had some spicy food and and we're groaning, but I assure you children love it like that is no joke I've ever told kills as much as that firework. Do you make your kids clean up after that dog after it's done? Like, get a plastic bag, you can pick that up.

I do make, I didn't make them clean up all the paper, you know, the debris or whatever after. And they didn't like it because they're lazy, but yeah. Well, that's not the fun part. The fun part's blown shit up and then it's like, oh, now we gotta be responsible and clean it up. Right. And that's why you have kids. So they can do a bad job of cleaning up after. Let me kids you have, Brian. Uh, three. You have three kids. Mm-hmm. Oh my God.

I'm not used to having people I work with have multiple children. Like, there's a few that have like one, maybe two. Yeah. That's a smart, that's a smart number. Just cut it off there. And yeah, after that, it just gets out of control. Yeah, you lose track. That's right. Damn, I didn't know that. That's awesome.

Which is your favorite. They're certain to get none of them. I mean, I would like to say one stands out, but they really doubt, but they are getting. The way you phrase that made it sound like you didn't like any of them. Yeah, that was, that was a. I think that's the truth. They are, they are getting to the age to where they're like a competitive at video games though now, like definitely like smash and things like that. I have to like really like try hard to beat the oldest. So, yeah. We'll just be oldest now.

10. So it's going to get us. 10th of a classic gaming, you know, when you're in your prime kind of, you're starting to hit that stride. They're going to go pro any day now. I mean, they're at that perfect age before they get old and decrepit.

You joke, but that's like totally true. Like there are like tweens and like young kids who are going pro in these, I guess, like eSports things. I read one time in like school and I don't know if this is right, but that you see and hear your best when you're 10. So I guess it's all downhill from there, but yeah, I can't like, I can't button mash my way to victory anymore. So that blows. God, don't wait to see that the new NFL league filled with 10 year olds. Don't human suck. Like the rapid decrease of our health and sanity and bodies after like 25, like everything is like,

there's a good reason why people just used to die in their 30s. Yeah, yeah, it's starting to give us. And now we've just prolonged it by so like 200% and it's not great. It's just old slowly downhill the whole time. Yeah It's a it's quite crazy. I was thinking about the other day. I was like doing really just get like 25 to 30 like good strong healthy years like in all your entire life like that's what you get and everything else It's just like downhill unless you, yeah, George Clooney or somebody who can, you know, just sort of state, some people can I think just hang out at that zone

where they look 45 forever until they're like 80. And I think, yeah. I think having enough money to be able to like eat really well, have like personal chefs, and trainers and people whose job it is to make you look good, mix that kind of thing a lot easier. And also access to like the best treatments and skincare and like all that stuff that you could ask for. That's not like stuff that's not available to the general public. Yeah, I understand. Like COVID vaccines.

Right. Totally. Yeah. The the state of Texas announced that I don't know how they announced it. They announced it like what we were on break that the next segment of the population was now eligible to receive COVID vaccines and they announced it like on their website after hours or something and they didn't give any pharmacies or hospitals a heads up. Like the information just dropped and it was like I saw like on the Austin sub right it was like hey apparently almost everybody can get a COVID vaccine now. And of course, everyone just starts calling every pharmacy, like to the point where pharmacies are putting on their

website, like don't call us. We don't know what's going on. That's a recipe for riots. Yeah. It's like when the gay agent is boarding group one and then gets bored and just boards all the other groups without even really looking. And that is my fucking pet peeve.

I cannot tell you enough. The one time I got upgraded and I was group two, I was so excited because it's the highest group I'd ever been. And they're like, all right, a group one, you're free to board now. They start boarding boba and they're like, all right, group two and groups three. And like, you just got me. What's the point? What's the point? I get mad when they let the military go ahead of me.

It's like I got all these kids. I got like three kids here. This is way harder. Come on. You just you have your little sack with you. You just have your little rough sack. I got like a stroller to deal with. Come on.

You get pre-bored if you got a stroller, don't you? I'm always giving you parent stink eye when I'm sitting there like I don't have any kids. Where's my priority boarding? Yeah, oh yeah, you can lie and like, oh look, he's sick. Get one of them to start coughing or something. Yeah, you can work it. I will say the worst way to travel is if you're on crutches. I was on crutches one time for a flight because I had like, spray my ankle that day.

So I had no other choice. And trying to handle like a backpack and a carry on bag while also crutching yourself, I just like ended up like, like hitting the bag with my crutch every couple steps just to like get it across. And then like getting onto the plane and sitting and trying to get them up there, like in people's bags and stuff like that

It's fucking nightmare. I'm picturing like the beginning of an info-murshil Or like you struggling with all this stuff and it's like has this ever happened to you? That was me that was me in that moment I felt like so pathetic and useless and Luckily like some people ended up helping me put my bag up and stuff like that But I was surprised no one offered to help me like pull me put my bag up and stuff like that. But I was surprised. No one offered to help me like pull my bags through the terminal and stuff like that. I guess people are weird about other people's bags.

But yeah, they just don't want to get involved. Yeah. Like because like they don't want to go with you to gate 20 like on the other side. You know what I mean? Like they got to go this way. She'll be fine. Somebody's a proper and. And nobody does. Yeah.

I remember speaking of people's bags in an airport years ago, like pre September 11th, it was probably in the late 90s. I saw this episode of 2020 where they had like one of their reporters go to the airport in Las Vegas with like this before, you know, before September 11th, you could walk up to the gate if you didn't have a ticket. So you would like walk, you walked up to the gate with a taped up box

and was trying to convince people who were about to fly if they could take the box for him to their destination. And it was shocking how many people were like, oh yeah, Cheryl, take your box for you. Oh my God. But even like at that, even in 2001, like bombs and airplanes were still a thing, like that they had hijacked barrels and stuff, yeah. yeah like it that's so weird to be that that was just like not an issue

yeah it's it was such a weird thing like it was so weird I remember it to this day like what the fuck are these people doing like this could be someone you're sitting next to is like yeah I'll take a random way stranger box on my on the What's the worst that could happen? Yeah, it's ticking, but I'm sure it's fine. What could possibly be in the box? Like, what would you have a stick on a plane without going yourself? Well, I think that what their story was that they needed, it was like a present or something,

they needed to get to like a family member and they needed to get it there same day, or like they had some contrived story about it. Yeah. Yeah. I just can't imagine like contrive all the way to the airport to do that. Just FedEx, it was something. Well, you're thinking rationally, aren't you? Could you not one day stuff, like overnight stuff, by the way? No, it was like it was probably like 50 bucks or something. I also don't think the test is. Just back into six to eight weeks before delivery.

Yeah, the good old. I also don't think this was a test of asking people to take a box on a plane for them and waiting to see if they would go, why can't you just do overnight delivery? Like that wasn't the test. How many people will come up with a more rational way to ship this box in one day? Haven't you haven't you heard of Amazon? What do you mean the book seller?

No, what do they have to do? It's funny how much shit changes. Like I don't remember exactly when that era, I mean, Amazon, I mean, that if you may not have even existed at that point, but like I bet, you know, back then you couldn't, you know, back then, you couldn't, you know, print up, you couldn't go to their website. Like if you had to FedEx, you couldn't go to the FedEx,

you couldn't print a label, you couldn't, you know, figure it out for yourself. You probably had to go to a store somewhere and deal with all of that. But it's just weird how much of that, how quickly that stuff changes. I was recently also rewatching some of the early seasons

of the amazing race. And like in season one, you know, they have everyone at the starting line and they're like, all right, everyone go. And like everyone runs for a pay phone. It's like, what the, how old is this show? Like for everyone's first instinct is to run to a pay phone and call the airline

to find out if there are seats available on a plane. Is this the 50s? What the hell am I watching? I wouldn't even know where to find a payphone now, it is. They've taken them all down. Yeah, there aren't any. I've got to go reserve this airline ticket and call in this news story to the office. This episode of the Receipt Podcast is brought to you by Squarespace.

The smartphones are really like the best invention ever. I'm so happy that we have those now. I feel like there wasn't a grand,

like there wasn't a giant party when they became a thing. I feel like they just like oozed out and like slowly became normal. But how is it not so amazing that you could go on the internet on your phone? I feel like that should have been the biggest news of all time. Well, it kind of was. It was a big deal. It was. They were super expensive. People weren't used to paying for phones when the iPhone came up. When smartphones came up, it was like,

it was crazy that they were charging like six or seven hundred bucks for it. And I mean, that would have dealt a lot more. Yeah, I remember like 2007, I think, when the iPhones came out, it was like a deal if you had one. And everybody wanted to sort of hold it and see it. But then like, I feel like six months later, everyone had one or it was like,

it got adopted really quickly. It also wasn't like an immediate, like going from a phone with texting to like this magical phone. Like I feel like there was a gradual ramp up from other like previous phones before the iPhone. Like having certain like games or like internet capabilities that they had. Like didn't, wasn't there a phone that had just like a browser or something like that?

Yeah. I had a sidekick and that had a web browser built into it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The original iPhone didn't have an app store. So it was just like what was on it was what you had. It's crazy to think about. Even though it had like the same layout of apps, there would just be like a gap of the bottom. Be like,

oh, you couldn't have just like even the wall out. That is weird to think about. I guess you could have deleted some apps. Could you even delete apps? I don't know. I don't know. I think it was just like, it's on the phone. That could have been local apps, I guess, like for the carrier.

So that may have needed to be rude. I don't know. And you couldn't multitask. So it was like, if you have to close up your email and then go to the iPod, like, there wasn't, it wasn't all at the same time either. Yeah. Yeah. Super. And we could all see better and our bodies were all much better back then. That's how hard. How old were you in 2007? I was 18. Yeah, I was 19. Yeah. God, what a time to be

alive. 2007. I was almost the same age you are now when it was time to be exact. Exactly. Yeah, it just turns me that I met Gus when he was younger than I am now. Like I think you were 28 when I met you. Was I? No, I would have been 27 somewhere around there 26 27. Okay. But yeah, that's even worse, fuck. That's it.

I feel like you're the same though. You've grown up, but you've always been a grown up, even when you were 26. I was a grown up when I was like five. I've been shaving for a long time. You just had that personality like you were always like, yeah, yeah, I've friends like that. Yeah, it was a ton of fun I really get you a lot of friends when you're a kid let me tell you

The guy wondering if we should call our parents before we do this. Yeah, oh I one time I had to go to the in when we were in third grade. I had to School had started like everyone got there in the morning the first bell rang like it ate in the morning or whatever and our teacher Wasn't there and I was the one who went to the office to tell the office that we didn't have a teacher. Ah! Ah! The whole class was trying to stop me.

So, yeah, that was a... I wonder why people didn't like me back then. It's really weird. So, what was your... Did you just want to learn? I just... It just felt weird. Like, it wasn't normal if there wasn't a teacher there. I was that way too. I was a rule follower. Yeah. Right. One time my, my gym teacher thanked me in high school for helping her with the role, like take role every day. It's like so fucking lame.

Even an uh, yeah. I see you cringing thinking of that. Yeah. Well, I guess you're the most trustworthy. Like this kid is not going to mess up the role. And I didn't. I took, you know, I took the role. She asked for help. But she would like leave the room.

And I would just, okay, he's here. He's going to get going. And speaking of like one time, Barbara, you were talking about being on crutches. The funnest time I ever had in high school was when I broke my foot and I got to be on crutches because there was an elevator in our high school that only people could use if you had the crutches. Otherwise you'd get like, you know, detention or whatever.

So everybody, and it was just an elevator, it was a two storey, a two floor elevator. It was not a big deal, but everybody wanted to ride on the elevator with you. It was like, it was a club. It was a two-storey, a two-floor elevator. It was not a big deal, but everybody wanted to ride on the elevator with you. It was like, it was the closest. Yeah, it was the closest, I'll ever to be to being a VIP of any sort, that I could get on this elevator. It was so nice. I am so jealous, because I've definitely

been on crutches during high school before. I've sprayed my ankle so many times. And no elevator at our school just had to like, crutch myself up the stairs, while the kids were all running. I hope you don ankle so many times. And no elevator at our school just had to like crutch myself up the stairs, while the kids were all running out. Yeah. And it's like those like school stairs that are like that weird like smooth concrete.

Right. I don't know how to make sure we don't wipe out. Yeah. Yeah. I, uh, when I was in second grade, I changed elementary school. I had to go to a different one. And on the first day of school, uh, there was another kid in my class who had a broken leg,

and he was on crutches. And the teacher assigned me to help him. Like, that was my job for like the first six weeks of school while this kid was in a cast and crutches, was to help him like carry his books and get around the school. And we're still friends to this day. That's the only reason we became friends is because in second grade, he had a broken leg, and I had to help him carry his books. It's like, one of the people I've known the longest in my life is just because he broke his leg and the teacher told me to help him. Maybe he still feels indebted to you.

If you were responsible enough to remind them that there was no teacher in the classroom, surely you could handle this kid and his books. Yeah. I don't forget your thing. Sorry, go ahead, Brian. I have the same, like one of my lifelong friends is kind of the same way. It was, I had moved to a new school in fourth grade. And I just sort of like, I didn't really know anybody. And so my teacher called my parents and was like, he's not talking to anybody, you know, or he's just sort of sitting by himself at lunch. And my parents are like, oh no, and she was like, don't worry, I know this great kid, like we'll,

we'll pair him off. And he was like, you know, we were very similar. We were both really into video games. And we've, we've been friends ever since. Like it was, and my teacher totally just made that match. Good match maker. Yeah like it was, and my teacher totally just made that match. It was a good matchmaker. Yeah, it was. Teachers should I match bigger. I just remember how harsh kids can be to teachers.

Speaking of no teacher, there was once it was like, I think we're doing cooking or something because it's my school. We did DT, which it could be like cooking or it could be woodwork or whatever, it would just change every term. And we had this cooking teacher that was this old woman. She must have been beyond retirement age. She must have been like very late 60s. And she left the room and it was like it was a classroom with two doors.

She left the room once and one kid just got up and just locked the door. It's like locked her out. And I was like locked her out. And she was just like, she came back and she was trying the hand or tiny little woman. And she was like, open the door. And then she just went around to the other door. The guy unlocks that door and locks that one. Oh, my God.

Then she went around to the other one again. And then she just disappeared off. I never saw her again. That was the last time I saw it. I'm not convinced she didn't just leave her job and retire. Did you still have classes left? Yeah, we just had a different teacher from that point on. Oh my God. Wow.

That kid bullied her out of her profession. You're ran her off. Yeah, I bet she was just, she just tried the door for the third time. I thought, I think I think I think I'm done. I think I'm done. I think I'm done for this. I think it's not worth my women.

Yeah. When I was in middle school, I did not have this. I want to preface this by saying I was not in this class. I did not have this teacher. But there was one science teacher who would get bullied by the students. And they would lock him in the supply closet in his room. Oh, no. I was like, how what is going on in that classroom that like, it's anarchy that the children have taken over like the adult who's supposed to be in charge has lost

all authority in power, right? Yeah. The kid that's like Lord of the flies at that point, like the kids have firmly taken over like, and it wasn't like a one-off thing. It was something that would happen regularly. And it's like, man, what is happening in that class? Yeah, like have they established a new system of government? Now, teaching their own lessons. Now what are they learning? Or what are they doing for that for? Who are they gonna vote off the island?

You've got a way to see. now what are they learning or what is what are they doing for that? Who are they going to vote off the island? Yeah. You got a way to see. I feel like I never got in trouble for doing anything bad. I did get in trouble for doing absolutely nothing a lot though. I remember there was this, because I went to a quite a small school. There are a lot of rooms that were shared. You do multiple lessons in there. I think it was like graphic design or something.

The room had a closet and the teacher was very clear. He was like graphic design or something. And then the room had a closet and the teacher was very clear. He was like, never go in this closet. This is for teachers only. It should remain locked at all times. If I ever see one of you in there, it's going to be big trouble. I maybe had chemicals in there or something for something else. And then in a different class in the same room, a different teacher told me to get something out of that. I don't know, but he's like, I'm not supposed to go in there. He was like, yeah, just take the key, get this, his word is. And I was just like, I don't have the security clearance to do this. And in the back of that closet was a window.

And I was in there, like, playing this thing. The teacher who's screaming, not to ever be in there, walked past. And then like popped back. And I was just like, and I just saw the teacher who's screaming not to ever be in their walk past and then like popped back. And I was just like, and I just saw him, he just came running and then he came storming through

and he was like, get out of this room. And I was like, I was like freaking out. He was like me and him in the closet. He was a screamin' and spitin' in my face. And I just remember thinking, that is just really unfortunate timing.

I've been put in this position by someone else. I'm getting ballicked. The only reason I didn't get detention is because the other teacher was like, no, I told him to. Yeah. And I know the greatest fear of response. His response to that was, okay. Oh, I'm

even even if I do not do you apologize to you? Even in my no, it was a right bastard. Why was he trying to keep you out of there? I don't know what he was stashed in there. I don't know what he had. Maybe some, maybe a Why was he trying to keep you out of there? I don't know. What are you? It's stashed in there. I don't know what he had maybe some Maybe a drug cook or something a legal things on his computer. Yeah in chat fo fo fo Says that was his drug closet. Yeah, then surprise me

I mean we had yeah, we had a closet like that in my chemistry lab where it's like you weren't supposed to go in there There were times like swear all the chemicals were right like all the things you do experiments lab where it's like, you weren't supposed to go in there. There were times like swear, I swear all the chemicals were right. Like all the things you do experiments with and it was like acid and like all kinds of things that could really hurt you. Then for some reason, the last day of school or school or school was like, yeah, you can go in there, look around if you want.

We were gonna love it in all year. But the last day was like, oh, okay, then we were like, everyone went in. It's like, yeah, this is really dangerous. None of us should be in here. Yeah, why didn't they do that in the first place as a learning experience to be like, oh, okay, that we were like everyone went in. It's like, yeah, this is really dangerous. None of us should be in here. Yeah, why didn't they do that in the first place as a learning experience to be like, see, this is dangerous, you don't wanna be in here, okay?

Crazy how differently you, I guess, like a situation like that, back then, I was shitting my pants and I probably spent the rest of the day reliving that, that guy screaming in my face, just because like, that was, you don't really know a lot. You don't have the wisdom. Now I'd be like, shut up, you all bastard.

I'm totally sorry. I'm sure that would have resulted in a really great experience for you. Yeah, instead I probably nearly cried and just went quietly sat down off the woods. Slunk away. Did you guys ever like do really stupid shit in high school

just to make your friends laugh? Like was that something that you were known for? I used to do this thing and I don't know how it became so funny and why we did it all the time because it was really stupid and dangerous. But I had a friend who some of you guys know named Brittany, she would fucking lose her shit every time. I would run full speed into these gym doors

that were closed and just body slam myself against me. And she would like crack up every time. And I'm like, I could have broken a shoulder or something like this, because I'm just like full speed running at this thing just to make her laugh. Just stupid shit like that all the time. But it was working so you did it.

Yeah, exactly. You didn't got a laugh. I have a very small audience. I gotta do something before YouTube. Yeah, it's a tennis. Yeah, it's funny thinking back about school. I was, I was looking up my old high school for some reason. I think, Esther and I were talking about our high schools. And I was looking it up and I showed her like a photo of it like in Google Street View and she was like, what's that?

I was like, oh, that's the security guard station. She's like, you had a security guard station? And I was like, have I not told you that the high school I went to was essentially a prison. Like there was a separate security outpost where all the security guards were. Guard towers? Right.

Like it was on the perimeter. And I guess like someone ran their car into it and like knocked it over this past year. Anyway, I went to a terrible, terrible school. So your school had set entrances and exits. You couldn't just like stroll out from anywhere. Right, like even coming onto the campus, there were set checkpoints that you had to go through.

And this was like before school shootings and shit, right? Like there were no metal detectors in the school or anything like that. It was like, there were checkpoints to even get on the campus and then, I guess like different doors to get into the building itself. Damn. Different times.

They would have really flipped out if you had gone into the wrong supply closet. Oh yeah. They would have been a nod. They would have been more than just yelling. One time actually now, I think about it, someone actually showed up to my high school with a gun once, like in 94. And like, when student tried to shoot another student, but they struggled over the gun and like, ended up shooting the ceiling and no one got hurt. And I don't think anything happened to that student. I think they just took her gun away. It was a female student.

I think they just took her gun away. Like I think they didn't even like expel her or anything. Like, what? There was. They were like, no, we told you, you can't bring that gun to school anymore. Yeah, we're taking it from you until the end of the school day and then it needs to stay at home. You need to keep it in your locker during school day. All right.

I'll have it out. How many countries there on earth where that person would still be in prison? Oh, yeah. It got me. It's a lot like after Columbine though, because I remember going like to pick up my little sister who was like in high school and I graduated and I feel like I was in college at this point or maybe even older and I just went in, I just went into the building to get her because it was time and then just I was mobbed by security and just like where are you, you need to go to the office and you know go to the office and get the pass or something. I did not get the pass. It was kind of terrifying, actually. They were like, like, lipping out. They're like, this old guy is here for some reason.

What's he doing? He's asking for a specific student. This can't be good. He's got a stroller with him. Just listen to him. All right. He needs extra assistance. That's right. This episode of the RISD podcast brought to you by Gabby. We're all looking for ways to save money, right? Especially now, so let me ask you this, how would you like to keep an extra $961 a year in your pocket? That's how much Gabby customers save per year on average, on car and home insurance. This is the time of the year we go shopping for insurance.

Well Gabby takes the pain out of shopping for insurance by giving you an Apple Stapples comparison of your current coverage with 40 of the top insurance providers like Progressive, Nationwide, Travelers. I've checked out the website of you set myself. You'd super easy to navigate and understand, gives you quick easy quotes to compare what you already have versus what you can possibly get, shows you how much money you could potentially save. You can just link your current insurance account and in minutes you'll be able to see quotes for the exact same coverage you currently have. Like I said earlier, Gabby customer saved $961

per year on average, but it'd be nice to have that in your pocket over here, right? If they can't find you savings, they let you know. So you can relax knowing you already have the best right out there. That actually happened to me. My rates were already the best. Anyway, they'll never sell your info, so no annoying spam or robocalls. You're probably overpaying on car and home insurance.

See how much Gabby can save you. It's totally free to check. There's no obligation. Go to Gabby.com slash rooster That's g-a-b-i.com slash rooster gabby.com slash rooster So guys, I had you a had you beat cyberpunk. I beat cyberpunk. I was I was done. I mean I got there were still more missions I could have done But I think I was done with the game for now. I wanted it to be over

So I just I pushed, I got to the point, I had to save at the point where it was like, if you proceed any further past year, like you're going back, like the game's going to add. So it's like, that's it. I'm going to go there and I'm going to finish it. So I finished it. I got, I don't know how many endings there are. I think there's like six endings or something. So I've only, I've only seen one of them and I was not happy with my ending. That's sad. Oh, is it like you get a bad ending, like near automata or something? Or it's just like, I didn't die.

I wasn't, I didn't like the story choice, I guess. I didn't like where it, where it. Is there a way to, I don't know the mechanics of this game at all. Is there a way to reload from a certain save point and get a different story? Yeah, that's kind of what I was trying to do. That's kind of what I was trying to do up until the point where I was done with it.

I was trying to advance to the point where I was ready to finish the game in any of the ways possible. But I may go back and do that in the future. Like maybe once the game's patched a bit. I'll go back and see the other ones. If there's a sign of any good game, I just wanted it to be over. Yes. I'm getting to the point now. I still haven't beat it. So no, we won't do spoilers or anything. I'm able to upgrade stuff.

I think I'm level 35 or something. But I'm seeing stuff in my skill trees that I don't know how to do. There's one that's human shield. And it says, while you're grappling an enemy, you have more armor and it's like a picture of a guy holding someone and having it. I've never been able to grab someone and hold a gun at the same time. Can you do that? Maybe you need to perk. I've never done that. I don't have that part of any of that.

I can see the purpose. It's called human shield, but I don't know what the base put. Like, why can I get that if I can't do this? Like, you can grab people and choke them out and stuff where you can hold people and shoot when they're dead or unconscious, but I don't think that's what that putt is talking about. So I'm like, why would I, what am I doing? Increases armor by 20% when grappling an enemy. What does that mean grappling an enemy then?

What is the context of that in this game? I believe the actual definition of grapple is this. What's going on? Right? Like, is that what, like, what is grapple? That's grapple, right? You gotta make the face, Barbara. I was not expecting that.

You just like, I'm like, if you're struggling with them, like if you're down on the ground, like rolling around, because I think that's what grappling is. It's like jujitsu stuff, like you up see when they're just going. Yeah, I would say if I was trying to like wrestle a gun off someone that'd be grappling I

Think I know why I thought this was grappling cuz I'm thinking of a grapple hook. That's like I think a human doesn't cyberpunk. You just just start doing this and that's it. Yeah, maybe that's what I'm thinking of. Just on my hand movement. I see a lot, I tried googling it. I see a lot of people who are very confused about it as well. And it seems to be the consensus is that you cannot shoot when you have that perfect. All you do is you hold them and it increases your armor,

but you cannot shoot back. It's not like you had that. I die at the end of an 80s movie where he grabs your girlfriend and then points the gun at you. Yes. I mean, surely if you've got someone, if you're holding, wait, so it's saying,

when you're grabbing someone or when you're holding a body. When you're grabbing someone. Why would I need more armor than if people are shooting at you while you're doing that? It's gonna tits up anyway. Just chuck that guy and get shoot.. That was the point of that's no it's pointless perk ever. Yeah if his buddies are shooting at you 20% is not gonna do that. This comment made me crack up hanging frog in the chat wrote grapple arthritis apparently.

How long did it take you to beat it Gus? How long gonna take you to beat it, Gus? Oh, it's a life on the table. I think I put 30 hours into it. It's what I want to say. I could be wrong. I didn't really pay attention to the time. I guess I go back and look. Was it like, did you do kind of a leisurely do all the side quests type of run?

I kind of really focused on one storyline. And I got to the point where it said if you proceed, the game's going to end. And then from there, I started like side tracking and doing other story lines to try to kind of flesh it out. Right. So I mean, I wouldn't say it was super focused, but it wasn't like super in depth doing every single side quest either. And according to how long to beat.com, the main story is 20 hours.

So I would think that my 30 hour estimate is probably about right. I assume doing a lot more side stuff gives you a better ending though. I don't know. Like the true ending. Completionist is 88 hours. Oh wow. I don't understand the mentality of getting a game and then wanting to complete it as fast as possible. I feel like I want to take my time.

Yeah. Yeah. I guess I've not having fun, but if you are having fun, wouldn't you want to really stretch that out? That's what I'm doing. I'm having fun with it. I mean, I can definitely recognize how broken it is and how immersion breaking it is at time, at times, and how it seems to be

a lot missing that they were originally going to include. It's just a classic story of they just had to get it out, I guess. But I'm still having fun. It's getting a bit samey though with all the extra stuff you have to do. There's a lot of just like find this area, clear out these people, find the piece of evidence and leave. I mean, that's like all video games, right? There's only like five missions ever.

It's like, it means a variant of that. Right. Uh, yeah. Are there any escort quests? I don't think there were any escort quests that I had to do. I don't remember doing any. Yeah, I fucking hate escort quests. No, they're the worst.

Yeah. Wasn't escort quest, was it? I just haven't. Yeah, I fucking hate escort quest. So the worst. Yeah, it wasn't escort request. I just have it. It's like where it's going. Someone you have to go with. Yeah, it's like follow me to this thing. You're like, oh my god. And then you're probably with them. Excuse me. And you you rent this p to a double gym door. All right. All right. On crutches. Okay. Sean Harry add everything. In chat, Sean Herring says people like grapples.

God, I love him. God enough. That's it. That's cool. Ascourt quest is when you go to backpage.com and enter into your city name and find somebody you like. I need a rimshot sound effect on my sound board here. I can hear it.

We have Brian. That'll be awesome. That'd be badass. You do need that. Oh, speaking of badass, you've watched all the Cobra Kai season three already. Haven't you, Brian? Oh, hell yes. Yes.

It's awesome. I wrote a review of it. I was so into it. Yeah. I'm halfway through season three. I didn't want to, as much as I wanted to watch it all in of it. I was so into it. Yeah. I'm halfway through season three. I didn't want to, as much as I wanted to watch it all in one sitting, I was like, no, I need to space it out. So I'm only on episode five right now.

I wish they had done it like the Mandalorian and parcel that out like a week at a time. Like, you know, the good old days because I can parcel it yourself. Right. No, I can't control myself. That was what I was going to say. I was done by January, the early morning of January 2, I had finished it. It's very good.

It's the best one yet, I think. There's just, there's so much like fan service and so many tangents they go on and so many like returning, you know, faces. And they also clearly have Netflix money now. Like YouTube red is not gonna fly Daniel out to Okinawa, but like they can do that now. And so it's, it feels like they're able to do more

of what they wanna do and just go nuts, but yeah, it's really good. Yeah, it's an amazing show. I only found it recently, I guess like during quarantine, maybe late summer, early fall, I watched the first two seasons. And I'm happy to read it. I don't think so. That's how Jeff apparently has been watching it and loves it.

He's been hyping it up to me and Trevor for a while. So I didn't know that's what you think. Yeah, I don't think so. It's also you're seeing so much of it from Johnny's perspective. And his just caught stutts scoffing at all of Mr. Miyagi's teachings and all of the bonsai stuff. And everything. It's so funny because it kind of makes Daniel look like a douche a lot of the time. So it's just really fun to, you know, for Daniel not to be the squeaky clean good boy. I don't know.

It's a, it's a, it's a great show. I'm so happy. And they already, they had a trailer a couple of months back, you know, for season three. And they also tease that season four is already in the works as well. It's been greenlit. Oh, good. Oh, I'm sure. Yeah.

It was, it's also, they did a really good job of like, I think introducing new characters because they're clearly trying to get, you know, focus some attention on the kids, because they need somebody to do the karate and not just guys in their fifties. But they do a good job of like, it's still mostly about Daniel and Johnny, but, but they, they just kind of gradually, they don't force the kids on you, but they're in there, but they aren't kind of the main part. I feel like it's what Star Wars should have done with the newer cast.

Yeah, it's absolutely a master class in like preserving your old characters and introducing new ones as well. Right. You have, if you've seen the old stuff, obviously you get it, but I think you probably don't even have to have seen the cryocard or no shit about it. I don't think so.

It wasn't a complicated plot or anything. Yeah. And they have like short flashbacks if you never saw the movie that like get you up to speed. You'll need to watch like a flashback in a TV show to understand what's going on. You see Johnnie gets kicked in the head a million times. What if I saw the carotid kid but the Jaden Smith version? Yeah, you'll be lost.

No, it's totally definitely. I think I've seen both, but they'll sell that one more recently. It's not bad, it's not a bad movie. I never saw that one. I'm an old man, I only saw the old 80s one. Have you finished the Hobbits yet? I watched all three Hobbits this weekend. I never watched those.

I'd never actually seen all of them. So I sat down and watched all of them. And as a whole, I'm like, the story's fine. It shouldn't have been nine hours of my life. I mean, it's probably more like eight and a half hours. It's like, this is way too long for this story. And the second movie ends in the middle of a fight. It's like the credits, the credits started rolling

and I thought my playback was messed up. And I was like, that's weird. So I rewound it. I was like, oh no, that is the end of the movie. Okay. You'd still skip chapter. Right. Luckily, I didn't have to wait a year

for the next one to come out. Like I just played the next movie. But it's nice about binging stuff that's already out. You just don't have to wait at all. It's great. Yeah, I'm halfway through the second one now. It's the Hobbit kids book because I feel like the tone is bent to it. Completely.

Like there was that bit of the first one where they're underground and the the giant goblin to start singing And I haven't never seen the first hobby. It's like Is this a child's book? Who's this for? I think the first hobby was yeah, where he goes and finds the ring. Yeah, and God makes it. I said, yeah, I just didn't I didn't know that and it was very what he just erupted into a big musical number. I was like I just didn't, I didn't know that and it was very what he just erupted into a big musical number. I was like, but I'm also watching the extended. Was that in the theatrical?

Yes, there was, I don't know if it's longer in the extended, but the Goblin King definitely did sing in the first movie. I don't remember the dragons doing a dance number in Lord. The only Goblin King I want to watch is David Bowie. All right. Oh, yeah. Good choice. Do you remember Brian, you're an old man like me? Yes.

When I was young, I remember I used to always see these television commercials for an animated version of the Hobbit. Yes. You had to like buy it. Like you had to send them like 25 bucks and they would send you a VHS tape. Yeah. And Bill Bow had all these wrinkles and stuff. And yeah, and they were, it was like, it feels like it was like a time life thing

or something to wear. Yeah, no, I know exactly what you're talking about. Yeah, it was weird because I hadn't thought about that in years and after I watched the movies, I looked up a YouTube video of it, like what it looked like. I'm like, I feel like I'm five years old again.

Yeah, yeah, I know I wouldn't have gotten it because there's no way my parents would have trusted me or trusted. Like, we're not going to spend $25 to get you one thing. It wouldn't happen. But yeah, I definitely remember that. Yeah. I've never seen all I ever saw was that commercial that they played every now and then and then the YouTube video trailer I watched yesterday about it. I should, I'm an adult now, I could buy that. You should find this. You should find this. You should find that. You should find this.

You should find that. You should find that. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this.

You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this.

You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. You should find this. to be an adult for as a child. And you've always been like waiting to grow up to do it, but you haven't done it yet. Like, is there anything that you still wanna do from childhood? I'm playing. I'm playing. Oh yeah.

You should've done it. It's easy. You should try to do that at some point. I feel like you could take flying lessons in Austin and eventually you didn't have a flying. Maybe not like a commercial flight, but a little plane. I'm still kind of like blown away by the fact I get to choose the food that I get to buy for my own place

and what I get to eat every day and like buy my own clothes and my own stuff and like just have income for buying things that I want rather than asking my parents if I can have something as a kid. Like that's still even to this day. I've lived away from home for 16 years. It's still weird to me. I still have the childhood mentalities of stuff, though.

I can now buy ice cream whenever I want. But if I'm just eating ice cream, I still stop after having an inch of ice cream and I'd still go, I should probably shouldn't have any more. I feel like my parents would have been like that so no. It happens at the perfect time where adulthood and like independent, independency, what's the word? Yeah, maybe. Being an independent, that like perfectly aligns with you being aware of what food and

lack of exercise do to your weight and health and you're like, fuck, like I could now buy anything I want and eat anything I want. But now I'm aware that if I eat all this ice cream, I'll feel like gain a ton of weight and look like, you know, really unhealthy. If I keep going down this road of only eating sweets that I want to do now, that I'm independent, it's the worst timing. I wish we got disposable income like at age 10 or something like that.

I still like any purchase over $30 makes me nervous. I still feel weird about it. I shouldn't be spending this much money on anything. If it's $5, yes, a comic book and some candy, that's fine. But anything, and if it's $ dollars like I'll have to think about it Along I still think that would fit the price of video games if it's more than the cost of what for me It used to be like thirty nine ninety nine pounds, but now if it's like it's more than sixty dollars I always I want to be like do I really want this?

Yes, I really need this because I'm just a game that I'm not gonna buy It's funny. I think of things kind of in the video game sense as well. Like, no, this is two video games. Yeah. I think of things in like a Starbucks drink. Like, knowing people are willing to spend like five to ten dollars on a single drink. Sometimes is absurd to me. And I'm like, God, that's like this new new shirt is like four Starbucks drinks or something like that or two.

And some people still like start using Starbucks until I was my mid 20s. So I never really equated that to. I've only. I've only started doing it when I was older. I think it's because there was a subscription I wanted to sign up for. That was like five or six dollars a month. And I was like, that's expensive. And I was like, I just bought the Starbucks drink for $750. Like, what am I prioritizing here? Yeah, I remember that was like when my friends would go out for a burger king or something, which was the only fast food anywhere near us.

But the one right near us, the Wappers, or like a whoppermere was like six pounds 20 because it was like a car service station. So we would go way further to get a whoppermere for like five fifty. But we would have to drive really far away from all of those right there. Does it seem, doesn't seem like worth doing. No, maybe not. Maybe not. Maybe used to do it all the time though.

But when, when money is tight or all you have is like, you know, when you're a kid or you don't have, you know, you only have your allowance or whatever, I could, I would totally, yeah, one time is worth nothing to you. No, no, no, that's all you got. That's all you got. All the time in the world. I just went flips the other way. Yeah.

One time when I was in high school, I was doing a scavenger hunt with that friend who had a broken leg. He ended healed by this point. And Frank, who has been at some research stuff that we do. And we were like, so we're going to the scavenger hunt and we were leaving from the start of it.

And we got into one of my friends' cars and we realized that his car had no gas and none of us had any money. So it's like we had to look through the car and in our pockets and we found 70 cents. And we pulled up to us a gas station and we had to convince Frank to go in and tell him we wanted to put 70 cents of gas in the car.

Can we get this fence that little? Yeah, it could. Because we're back then, I mean gas was probably like 80 cents a gallon or something, right? So it was not quite a gallon. It was almost a gallon worth of gas. It was like, none of us wanted to do it. So we were like, Frank, you have to go in and tell them, we only want 70 cents worth of gas off this bone.

You have to humiliate yourself in front of this board attendant. Oh, college was like that too. I feel like I just remember never having any money like at all to do anything. And a friend of mine was like, yeah, I remember you were so broke. I remember you being broke. Oh, wow. Yeah. That was like, damn, that was a really bad.

Yeah. It has to be extreme for someone else to remember because like, yeah, of course, you'll always remember what financial state you were at Yeah, it has to be extreme for someone else to remember because like, yeah, of course you'll always remember what financial state you were at different points in your life but for someone else to notice, yeah. That was like, was I wearing a barrel? That's right. No belt, just a rope.

Yeah. Did my cardboard shirt give it away? I don't know. Right, right. This episode of the receive podcast brought to you by Fields. Do you experience stress or anxiety or chronic pain or you have trouble sleeping at least once a week? Well, you're not alone.

Someone else pointed out in chat too, which is something like I'd never think about, but like going out drinking is so expensive. Like a shot is like 10 bucks and like a mix drink at some bars is like $12, $15, depending on where you're going. It's insane.

And like people just blow money going out drinking all the time. And I still think back to the, when I went to Vegas with Dan for New Year's and he was just ordering every drink on the menu. But he didn't, I don't think either it didn't have the prices or he just wasn't looking because he can't read menus anyway, but he was already like $25 cocktails. Oh my god.

Pights of beer. And then I think it was like $200 worth of drinks that he personally drank. When we went to do that season two premiere of Red versus Blue in New York, I think you went you attended that Gavin. that season two premiere of Red Vs. Blue in New York. I think you went, you attended that, Gavin. I remember the first day we were there for that event. I went to the hotel bar, the hotel we were staying at, and I wanted to get a drink before we went out to go do the event. It was my first time, like, as an adult, really, in New York in Manhattan. So I walk up to the bar, and I order a vodka soda, and I reach a vodka soda and I reached into my wallet. I pull out 20 bucks. I'm like, man, I can't, I can't begin to imagine how expensive stupid drinks going to be here in New York. Yeah. And the bartender puts the drink in front of me. Looks at me

and he says it's $25. And I was like, oh, what the fuck? So I'm like, I pulled out 20 thinking I was going to pay for it. Tip and get changed back. And it's like, no, that's not enough. Like I have to pull my wallet back out and get more money to pay for the fucking drink that I had just ordered. I'm so annoyed. That's so expensive. That was in 2004 dude. There's a time.

One of the first bars I went to when I moved to Montreal to go to college in that city and I was 18 at the time which is legal drinking age by the way, just in case people didn't know. And I remember the first bar I went to, I was like, I'm going to order a smear-n-off ice, because that's easy to drink, and I know what that is, because I had very little knowledge of alcohol. And they charged me $15 for a bottle of smear-n-off ice. It wasn't a mixed cocktail, but it was just one of those like douchey bars that charges an insane amount. And I'm like, am I supposed to tip this girl?

Literally just took the bottle that went, here you go, $15. Like, oh my fucking face. Because you're already over budget. Yeah. You could have stayed home and bought two six packs. Well, then I learned later on in college, but like when you'd go pre-dreaking

at someone's apartment or house, with like your friends before going out, I would buy what is it? Yellowtail that wine brand? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or you get like the fucking leader of wine for $8 or something. Right. I'm just like, I'm just gonna drink this. Not the whole thing. The first time I legally bought booze in a pub. I guess I just, I didn't really know how it worked.

I'd seen a lot of soap operas like EastEnders or something where people just walk up, go, I'll have a pint, please. I'm like, I'm gonna use my shoes. I do whatever I say. I'll have a pint and the guy was like, I was like, what? Pint of what?

I'm gonna have a pint. I don't know. And he was like, when you reach the limits of my knowledge. And he was like, well, we got all these and I was like, I don't know if And he was like, when you reach the limits of my knowledge. And he was like, well, we got all these and I was like, I don't know if I like getting them. Which one do you know? And I felt like, I don't think I ordered booze for like two months out of embarrassment.

It was just too scared. And then I was up with Stella. Was it was an often one I went for and maybe sometimes a peroni with us in Guinness Well, I can't get it feeling like drinking a meal They do do that in movies a lot though. Those oh have a beer because they don't want to say like a brand name Yeah, I told I just thought that's how I honestly the moment I finished saying I'll have a pint please. I thought Wait, uh, wait, what else? And then he was like,

I was like, yeah, let's just in the, let's just on TV at it. It's a, they, so like you're talking about how like on TV and movies, they'll just say like a pint, like they don't want to avoid brands in the, most recent season of Cobra Kai, they had like a car company kind of figures prominently in one of the storylines. So they had to make up like a fake car company. Yeah. Yeah. Like a weird brand. Right. It's like, so there's like, what would be a fake Japanese car company name? Like I wonder how long they sat around thinking about, what can we call this fictitious car company?

But in the background while they're talking in their dealership, it's like, that's clearly Lexus logo is behind you. That went that went over my head because I know exactly what you're talking about. I just took it like as a as a given, it was just some brand I didn't know of. Yeah, but I know exactly what you mean. Yeah, it's like totally, totally made up to avoid avoid any problems.

Yeah. And if they ever get like weirdly specific, you know somebody paid them to like, I'll have a Pepsi please. Like, no, you wouldn't. No one orders. What's weird about that is so they made up that car in corporate high school, they made up that car company name. And then like, I think that same episode or maybe the next episode, Daniels in a bar ordering a drink and there's like a bottle of whiskey that's fronted to camera and it's like the label is very clearly in focus, like right over his shoulder, like, well, obviously, that's like that's planted, right? Right, right, right, right. There was that scene and what was it judge, not judge dread, demolition man, where they have a whole scene where they go to Taco Bell. Oh, yeah, remember

that? Like, I's go to Taco Bell. It's a big deal, yeah. I think there's two things I want to remember about demolition, man. It's Taco Bell and the Sea Shells. Like, that's it. Yeah, the Sea Shells, yeah. And Wesley Snipes with the blonde hair.

I think I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago, but I've been watching the shit out of Survivor. Brian, have you ever seen Survivor? I think I saw the first one, yes. Okay, so you're not a winner. More of a flavor, a love guy. Yeah. Everyone has their own reality shows that they like.

But I did not realize until recently how much goddamn product placement there is on that show. Like we were watching an upset the other day. And they're like, all right, this is the reward challenge and the reward today is gonna be, you get to spend the day at the Seven Up Lounge. They're gonna have the bottles of crisp, delicious, seven up. And before the challenge shoot,

he's like, you guys all wanna taste and like, you know, took out the bottle of seven up but it looked all beautiful and handed to them. They just took a sip and all this stuff. And then like when they won, they're all just like bass and air logos everywhere. It's like, it's so in your face, but you know, I don't even know if he's really think about

it all that much anymore, or back then at least. And like I said, I've been rewatching some of the early seasons survivor. I'm sorry, of the amazing race. Oh, I was getting really excited. No, no. In the first season of the amazing race, there's like none of that, right? Let's all I guess like it was a new show, no one else going to be popular. There's none of that.

Then by season two, immediately they're like, you now you've won this prize. You've won a trip provided by American Airlines or you've won a Kodak EasyShare digital camera. You get to enjoy it after the race, like immediately they go from zero to like all out, like it's gonna get everyone knew that it was gonna be a popular show. Like every advertiser was on board.

That's also yeah, just to keep the production afloat, like you almost need those product placements or just brand sponsorships to keep it on. Yeah, I mean, I've got no problem with it, but it was funny because in one season, like, they have been giving away so many codec easy share digital cameras. I fucking remember it now, but like one of the challenges they had to like take a picture with the codec easy share digital camera. And then they had to like use the codec printer and like put the camera on the printer

and print a photo, but one of the teams couldn't figure it out. And they were like, this is so hard. And I was like, I wonder how happy Kodak was with this. Like, they're scruggling with notes. Yeah, we can't figure out how to make it print. Like, it's not working. Or if they had to cut so much of them being like this fucking piece of shit,

god damn, this thing doesn't work. Who can- Easy share my ass. Yeah. Just pinning the camera. Is that what was easy about it then? You just plopped the camera on top of the printer easy share my ass. Yeah. That was easy about it then. You just plopped the camera on top of the printer and it prints. Is that what easily frustrating? I guess that must have been it. That's what they did in their challenge. I don't remember what codec Easy Show digital cameras did back in 2004. Sorry.

Have you ever noticed like on ABC shows like the family sitcom? There's always an episode where they go to Disney World like always. Oh yeah. It's like family matters or whatever. I think they did it in blackish too. There's a whole there's always one episode and they all go and have a great time and that's like the whole point of the show. They're just having a great time with the show. Which transformers movie was it where they stopped the movie to have a Mercedes commercial? It's like looking up a car and then they get up the webpage. He's like, oh, this is like a $100,000 car. It's like spinning around.

It's just like show all the features of this car. Oh, yeah. And then you're like, you start off in your own board. You're like, oh, yeah, they need to find out this car. And then like, now they're just saying nice things about the car. Now, all of a sudden his voice is a different voice. And it's like the new Mercedes available. Wait, now there's a 1-800 number on the bottom. There was, and there's a visit in Rainbow Six Vegas that also

happens where it's like, we're going into like one of the levels, you can, you can like shoot all the cars, except for one car that's like in the spotlight, it's some Dodge happens where it's like we are going into like one of the levels you can like shoot all the cars except for one car That's like in the spotlight. It's some Dodge vehicles like a couple was it. Oh, yeah, I think that was oh no I'm thinking of splint is so had the big blimp that had air waves like the the chewing gum But then that's a I think that's just a UK gum. So maybe that was a different blimp for different Did you have air waves gum here? No, I don't know what that is. I don't know what that is either.

I think it was splinted so. I'll try and find the picture. They put a Mercedes in Mario Kart. It's one of the cars you can, and it's so out of place. Like it's so out of, it's like you can ride a little caterpillar or the new Mercedes-Benz 2020. Mario only drives German cars because he loves to reminisce about World War II. Yeah, it's like let's pump the brakes on this German Japan.

You got like this pair of German Japan Italy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just love the idea of having like a bubble car, a caterpillar, I know Mercedes. And an Audi 5000. And a bicycle. Right. Right. I was in the picture that I was looking for.

I don't, I still don't know what game it is, but this was the, you see it, the blimp. Oh, yeah. Oh, airwaves. Yeah. Yeah. Rigglies airwaves. Oh, Rigglies. We have that here. Yeah. Rigglies airwaves. Oh, Rigglies, we have that here.

Yeah. But maybe not the airwaves part. People who say that the car displayed in Rainbow Six Vegas was the Dodge Mac. Thank you. It was not crazy. And then in chat, Sean Herring says it's five gum is airwaves the same as five gum here. Good old shrug from Gavin. Is Airwaves the same as five gum here? We get a good old shrug from Gavin. That's what I know.

I mean, I've had both. I didn't know if they're the same thing. What is it? I mean, this is a dumb question. I was going to ask, what does it look like? But all gum essentially is the same. It's a long strip of green or blue. Or pink if you're a fucking baby.

Yeah. Yeah. Is a waves. You know what I didn't think about? I haven't chewed gum in probably a year at this point. Because I would chew gum if I was like on an airplane or like at a convention or something and I wanted my breath to smell okay, but like like I haven't chewed gum ever since it started. It's like a double-edged sword right? One, you don't see anybody, two, you're wearing a mask, so even if you saw anybody,

they wouldn't be able to smell your tear. Exactly. Yeah, just me. It's just going back. Yeah, I have chewed gum a few times just because when I put a mask on, I don't want to smell my own coffee breath. That's the only time it's come up. Yeah, if you're always at home, you can just brush your teeth all the time. Yeah, or you're just too gum. You know, it's something that you guys will never experience, which I have to experience with all my masks. I still wear makeup. If I go out, I'll wear like, you know, foundation, sometimes I'll put on like lip gloss or

whatever, even though I'm wearing a mask. And then all my masks, because they're white inside, have like, it looks like my lower half of my face has been imprinted onto the mask, because it's just, it's makeup and then like a little lip stain of where my lipstick was. And so it just looks like the back of a face. Did it not come out in the wash? It does. I only wash them like once a week. So like when I take it off, that's what it looks like.

Yeah, do you wash yours every time? No, I take mine off and then I lick the outside of them. Mm. That's what I plan to do. That actually just cleans off, never ready to go again. Yeah. Yeah, I've got a bunch of them. I use a new one every time I need one. So they meet it, I use it, then it gets washed.

Yeah. There's like things things I didn't own at the start of last year. About 30 fucking masks. Do you feel I'm not going to stop using them though. Oh, I mean, even after the Vax, it like I'm going to be like the people in Japan and China now. I feel like that's just what that's how I want to be from now on. I kind of like it. Yeah, that's how I wanna be from now on. I kinda like it. Yeah, I like it. Like, where in the mask?

I don't know. I haven't caught a cold this year. It's great. Yeah, plus I mean, you also not seeing people, so that makes it easier. But like, I don't understand the people who don't wanna wear them.

Like, oh, hell yeah, I'm all about this. I wanna wear it all the time. You know, it's also great that I'm only realizing now that it's January and it's getting colder out. It is so fucking nice and warm to have a mask over the lower part of your face. Like I wish I knew about that when I lived in Canada because it would have been so much more comfortable

to be outside having this part covered. Well, you're wearing a beanie. It's the same concept really. Yeah. So you can just put a beanie over your face? No, I mean, like the idea that putting something over that body part keeps it warm. No, but I mean like, but yeah, like I mean like I didn't own a mask years ago to wear like that.

And like now that I've experienced wearing that in the winter time, I wish I could go back in time and give myself a mask like that. So I could have worn that outside and been comforted. Yeah, or a scarf. Yeah, but like the scarf, it's like wrapped around there. It's bulky. Like it's all like up in your, it's all up in your grill. It grappling with it, you know, I feel like lava and skim off have a bad wrap. I think that's great. Yeah. I, I felt strange the other day. I had to go to a convenience store because I needed to buy something. I was paying for my purchase and of course I had a mask on.

I was the only person in the store. I'm finishing my transaction, buying my stuff. I heard the door open and the door was to my left. I turned to my left to see who's walking in. It's two police officers. I felt really guilty wearing a mask, like standing at the cash register, like, are they gonna think that I'm robbing the place?

And it's like, no, wait, they've got their masks on. Like, no, no, that's just the reality we live in now. Yeah. I have a lot of people saying, like, what about a scarf? Like, let me put it this way. The mask fits to your face. It's all like nicely tight and everything like around the part that really matters. Would you rather wear a jacket?

Would you rather wrap a scarf or piece of fabric around your top part of your body? If it's cold enough where your mouth is cold, just pop a scarf around it. I would, but it would be annoying. It would fall down. I'd have to hold it. It doesn't just stay up by itself. You know, I'd have to hold it, like it doesn't just stay up by itself. And also everybody else canadian ever. Oh, too. It's annoying, okay. Lots and lots of winter clothes are not fun to deal with on a daily basis.

I get that. Yeah, it's convenient. I just, it wasn't the revelation to be that having something here makes you war, but. Oh,. I just I know it's something covering a piece of your body makes that piece of your body warmer. I know that in the cabin, but nobody own like fabric masks like that at that time. It wasn't even really a concept. Yeah, they weren't a thing. Yeah. It's also weird on the winter like you're the rest of your body gets so much. You get gloves, you get like a jacket, you get scarfs, you get a hat, maybe a mask,

maybe something around your face, but your legs, you're just like, uh, jeans are fine. They're fine for you. That's like the rest of the year. These things are so lame for your body. Yeah, yeah. Uh, jeans are fine. You'll be fine. That is weird.

Jeans are awful. I guess be fine. Then it is weird. jeans are awful. I guess you were like thermal underwear, but. I guess so, but yeah, feel weird. That would be too much though. It would be like, yeah. Yeah, normally that's like some of the you picture someone like trekking out to the Arctic has.

Right, it's nobody here in central Texas has fucking normal level. That kicks it up all over. That's like dog sledding. Yeah. Yeah, not just walk around. It's like find your jeans. Yeah. Yeah. Not just walk around. Find your chains. Well, did you ever go like skiing or snowboarding as a kid? Yeah. That's true. And you wear that bib over it. Yeah, that's true. That like, what? You're a bib.

Like a ski bib. If you not heard that, it's like, it's basically a big overalls that you wear over. I mean, you put your ski jacket over. Oh, yeah, it's not. Oh, it's like, yeah, it's just essentially pants with suspenders, essentially. Yes, exactly. Yeah, that hold up your snow pants is what we call them. Okay.

Then you put your jacket on and then. I mean, does it work if you spill food down them as well? Is it also a bib? Yeah, they're waterproof. Yep. Even better than a bib. Really? Can you get your whole nose dirty? I only ever went skiing once and I was an adult by the time I did it. Actually, I took it back. I've

done it twice. But I think the first time I went, I was 26 years old. So I like, I never got to, I mean, I lived in South Texas my whole life growing up So never sauce no until I was much much older as I'm wanting to go skiing Yeah, I mean at the first time I ever went skiing it's because it was the first time I'd ever gone to Australia and Someone just invited us to go like we're in Melbourne and someone invited us to go to a mountain boulder, which I guess is a couple hours drive away to go skiing.

And I was like, sure, why not? I'm on the other side of the world. I'll do opposite things and anything I've ever done before. So, Jeff and I got in the car with a stranger and went skiing. Hell yeah. The water goes a different direction down the drain. I'm gonna go fucking skiing.

Yeah. Did you eat shit? Oh the drain. I'm gonna go fucking skiing. Did you eat shit? Oh constantly. I'm terrible skiing. I can't do that at all. I ate so much snow. I gave up after a while. There is definitely nothing very graceful about being in ski gear because you're literally, as Brian said, you have like these snow pants jacket, like you're layered up like crazy, you probably have long underwear on. And then the worst part is the ski boots that are so bulky and like you have to essentially walk like a baby in them.

And then like you put, you get the skis on and then like now I could only be lifted up up this hill and go down it. And I immediately need to take them off to do anything. Yeah, I need a mechanical chair to get up this mountain because it's, I feel like the little brother in a Christmas story. When I'm gonna make you go on.

I'm just, yeah, exactly. Or Maggie in her little star, Snowcey. Yeah. And now I'm gonna do something kind of athletic. Yeah, I guess this is gonna go great. I feel like I just missed the window on skin. I think I'm too old to go skiing for the first time. Tell though. Really, I feel too old to go skiing for the first time. Tell them.

Really? I feel like I'd just be so crap. That's why you start on small hills. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the little kids. They color code them too. Like the greens are easy and then blue is like medium. And if it's black, like black diamonds, you gotta stay away from that. That's really hard.

Yeah, you'll go fly into this. But it does help to start. Yeah, if you're a kid when you're like fearless and you like don't care if you wipe out, you can just sort of, you know, you're fine with going fast because when you're an adult, you're like, that's going to at least tear an ACL. I will say though, like going downhill while you're skiing is some of the best adrenaline you will experience in life. Yes, it's awesome.

Yes, yes, totally. Yeah, it's amazing. Maybe you like it. Nick here. Nick here. It's good skiing in Yeah, it's amazing. Maybe I go next year. It's good. This good skiing in America, right? What's the best place to do? Colorado, New Mexico, some places, yeah, up north. I think there was there was someone in chat who was it that was commenting on us. I might maybe Vermont. Who was it? Was it like, what's this person's username? Vermonster 802.

So listening to people in Texas talk about snow was killing me. So I'm gonna assume that they're from Vermont. So they probably have skiing up there as well. We all know anything about it. I'm also from Canada, I'm not from Texas. I currently live in Texas though. So maybe that's what they're getting at.

No, if we see snow, everything shut down. You close down school for the day. Yeah, we don't know how to act. I think it's because, I mean, the roads and the cars and the systems in the city and Texas in general aren't prepared for snow. So they don't have salt trucks. They don't have like anything that would be able to give people safety and traveling to some place.

So I think that's ultimately why they close down. Yeah, school and whatnot. In back in January of 97, I was living in Houston because I was going to college down there. And they had to close downtown Houston because it had rained a lot and then immediately frozen. So all of the tall buildings in Houston were covered in ice. And then when it started defrosting, like giant chunks of ice started falling off of all the skyscrapers and smashing cars in downtown Houston. Oh, shit.

That's bad ass. So they had to close it and tell people, don't go to downtown Houston, because you might get killed by falling ice. Oh, that's terrifying. That's hardcore. Fucking fools. Did anybody get hurt?

Do you know how they're like? I don't remember anybody getting hurt. I think like, I think they saw that this was about to happen and they were like, hey, don't anybody go down there for a day or two? It's going to be really bad. Yeah. They're daggers falling from the sky. You might want to stay home. Yeah. with I think it was Blaine and John today. I was telling them about the snow storm or the ice storm we had in 1997 in Ottawa and Quebec as well, where we literally had an ice storm that coated the entire city in like a two, three inch layer of ice. So like all the trees, branches, power lines, buildings,

like everything was just ice. And the- So when we were not snow, it was ice. Ice, everything was just ice. So when it's not snow, it was ice. Ice, everything was just ice. It was the weirdest thing, but it made for a really fun backyard. Just slipping around there. That was insane. Ice, yeah, I mean, snow and ice are like,

ice is a whole other fucking ordeal you got to deal with. It's terrible. It's a fucking worst. All right, well, let's go ahead and I think it's about time to wrap this up. So on a thank you everybody for watching. We'll see you guys next week. I want to thank Gavin, Barbara and Brian for all being here. Wow.

Wow. I think you guys are being here. Thanks for having us. And we'll see you guys next week. Bye. Bye.Bye Bye Do you like apples? All right, examples. Together in Treppet House, Characombs, Characombs are free to deal with nothing to do with this
