Hey everyone welcome to the receive podcast this week brought to you by hymns. I'm Gus. I'm Gavin. I'm Blaine.
I'm Bernie.
I'm going like a Nazi salute and I'm just trying to point
at the sponsor.
They told us that there was no.
I wasn't ready Patrick.
Patrick, he told us this was already.
I was ready to say my name because there's only one sponsor.
All right.
All right.
I want to say right away that you and I'll believe Gus.
You can now get this podcast on Spotify finally.
Oh, in addition to all the other platforms.
Look at that.
What's Spotify?
Yeah, it's the one on the right.
There you put it that way.
I just want to point it out.
Show me a little bit of iTunes, Spotify, and a slice of pizza.
Yeah, what's the middle one?
What's the middle one?
That's Google.
Google Play.
There you go.
Nailed it.
Never seen that logo.
Okay.
I'm trying to get a Spotify forever.
I don't know what happened, but thank you for finally putting us on your service
I guess who got us some Spotify?
Ezra. Oh
Biggie. Ezra does what Gus can't. I tried so hard to get us on Spotify. I think Ezra literally made one phone call
15 minutes later. We were fucking bullshit. After 12 and round and round with them. We've been Patrick tried before me
We've been trying so long. We've been trying for two years.
We've been trying to fucking make some phone call.
I know, right?
So we should just have Ed's make the phone call before.
I feel like Ezra would be, it should go to the office
and like, he's got such an imposing figure.
They don't want that.
He's like, shake him down.
I watched around full screen once with Ezra
and I watched everyone in the whole.
We hear him. I watched I walked around full screen once with Ezra and I watched everyone in the whole Here I have part part the C for him and then just be like
And I was like why did anyone look at you in the eyes? He's like that makes it seem like he's a bad guy though
I actually go talk to Ezra. He's a nice dude. He's always like
Well don't ruin it for him. I'm a bud. God. Sorry. Abling him is a nice dude. No, he's very scary very scary
I want we should have him on the podcast sometime. Yeah, we talked about it.
I think I'll do it.
Yeah, we should.
He pulled a beer on off topic last week.
I talked about him doing maybe a game time
because I'm in the middle of recording for a new game time.
I'm gonna ask him who he called it, Spotify.
Like what's the number?
How did you get the friend?
He had a friend.
Oh, how did you make that happen?
Somebody used to work with it.
How do you make friends?
Like if any of you went off and got different jobs, then we can do it. We have one friend
who's gone off and have a successful career basically. Amazing. April underwent. Well,
I mean, yeah, we have that. April's our friend. She's been like crazy successful. Yeah,
at least she's like at the top of the heap. Like, she was like a VB. I think he had a business
development at Twitter. I think she had a product. I had a product. Yeah. One of those titles.
She's a super high up. Yeah. She couldn't help us do product. I headed products, yeah. One of those titles, she's a Twitter product.
Super high up, yeah.
She couldn't help us do anything.
Couldn't get us very high.
She could not get us very high.
We asked her to run over.
I think that's how she answered the phone
every time we would try to call her.
And now she's gonna use her very fucking-
And every time I make fun of Slack,
I feel bad, not that you watch the podcast or anything like that.
Sucks, sucks.
What?
That's a clunky mess.
I just shit.
I think Slack's perfectly fine.
I just don't get it.
Like why do we need it?
You know, it's, and when Slack went down a couple of weeks ago,
people on Twitter were going, I can't work today
because then I'm like, dude, there's a billion ways
to message people.
I'm just fire up Amy, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It does have some good integrations,
but I think you really need to get into,
like, the nitty gritty of Slack to really get the most out of it.
Like, yeah, the power user.
Right. Like, I had an integration with Google Drive with it.
So where if someone sends me Google Documents,
it alerts me in Slack, I can look at them there.
I feel like it's a little bit more formal
than texting and phone calling,
but it's a little bit less like a quicker response
than email.
Do you die your beard?
No.
Because your beard is like, it's darker than your hair.
It's like, but there is a man-
It's a nice gradient, which means his head gets dark
when it is longer.
It's just throwing it.
I'm letting it grow out.
I hit a horrible milestone.
Ball spot.
Can you guys, my name's Chase, pull up the front page
of the Ruchis website.
It's Ruchitit.com, one word, all over the case.
Ruchit, you're like the bird.
Teaf, like, in your mouth.
I didn't, I didn't ever expect to hit this milestone,
but they put up art for the early bird passes
for RTX Austin 2018.
And in the, the clip art that they made is Kaboos,
I assume it's Kaboos, Ruby and me and then Jeff.
But they apparently have now updated in my art
to where my beard is gray.
They've made a decision now that I have a gray beard
and they've updated the art.
What's the funniest show?
When I first saw that art,
I thought it was me as well.
But then when I saw the gray beard,
I was like, no, that's Bernie.
He was a polo shirt.
That really sold it
because it's got a,
that character has a polo shirt on.
You got a new one of those the other day, right?
I get these all the time.
There's like a green one that you have now. No, I had one. There's so, this is like, they went kind of like not a douo shirt on. You got a new one of those the other day, right? I get these all the time. There's like a green one that you have now.
No, I had one.
There's so this is like they went kind of like
not a douchey path a little bit where I have one more.
Let me flip the collar up.
It's green and white underneath the collar.
So it's meant to be like popped.
So when you're popped collar is up.
You'll pop.
If I'm ever wearing one of these,
I keep going like this.
It's because I'm mushing down the collar
so you can't see the green and white.
That's the thing.
You know what Blaine did in diet, Blight?
I didn't approve this gray beard though. I want to say that. I did You know what? Blaine didn't die. I didn't approve this gray beard though
I want to say that I did not approve this I didn't approve it
I didn't prove this gray beard either, but I definitely didn't approve that one. So would you have a diet? Oh
I got this hat
Listen, I just need to order it. It's good hat. Thanks man. I like my hat. What did you say? Would you have a diet? I have I have done that before for a part and
Stuff like that. Yeah. Hey, yeah speaking of parts
What? Go ahead. I got on my birthday was that last week, the week before, I got a great
birthday present from Will Hyde. He came into my office and we had a meeting and he told me I was cut
from blood fest. Yeah. I knew that. Yeah. I first thought that he was joking. He's like, no,
no, no, you're really you you're cut entirely from the movie.
Like, we hadn't announced it.
I had like, I had actually quite a bit of scenes
in the movie and they were like, yeah,
your whole storyline and your whole plot is just,
we cut it.
It was taking, it was like this weird parallel storyline
is taking people out of the main story
and it was just making a pacing.
I was like, well, thanks for letting me.
I remember in the script I enjoyed your part. I thought it was a good, like when I heard that you were getting that, I was like, oh, thanks for letting me remember in the script. I enjoyed your part.
I thought it was a good, like when I heard that you were getting that, I was like, oh,
yeah, yeah, it was good in the scripts.
What happened was, I could say that the notes we got on that were, and I think we all
agreed with them, was that the placement of your storyline, it couldn't be moved to a
later part of the movie.
And it was just while you're in the first act and you're everyone's learning about everything that's taking place
and you're setting up the world, there was just this other storyline that was in there that didn't
take part in that. But now people will in the extended version will have extended guns.
It is what we do though. We just cut that bit out and release it on its own blu-ray
as its own movie. Gust the gun. It's a good short. Yeah. So it's long enough to be five minutes.
So yeah, maybe like five seconds.
I would buy that.
Sell it for a buck or two.
How much do we allow to say about blood fest?
Cause it's premiering this Friday.
Okay, yeah, we've had the trailers,
you can like tell the plot in the ending if you want to.
Well, I had to use this,
cause I was involved two degree
and I have some fun stories related to that,
but I don't know if now is the time to talk about them.
On camera?
Yes.
You're in it?
Yes, maybe.
Oh shit.
Just fucking blew it.
No, it's...
Well, yeah, do it.
I said you blew it.
Oh, okay, sorry.
You blew it.
Yeah, I don't know.
A later podcast, we can talk about it.
Some fun stuff happened.
So it's funny, you say, like, the outtake.
That's what will say.
Like, yeah, we'll put it like in deleted scenes on the DVD
Yeah, everyone watches that
Yeah, but the movies were finding this balance. We're trying to find and you know
Honestly, we don't make the movies just for our audience or actually supposed to expand
But we do recognize that the first people that are gonna watch it are gonna be the people who watch Richard Heath
Uh, and so we're trying to find this balance. Like with laser team, the approach was,
we had half the main cast was recognizable faces.
From Ruchitith, half the main cast was people
from Hollywood, traditional Hollywood.
And then we had cameos in there.
And there was like, man, reading the notes on laser team
or the comments from people is just like,
watching our audience try to reconcile that was tough.
We've talked about them, I think, on the commentary gap.
And there was in particular in their first laser team, style that was tough. We've talked about it on the commentary, Gavin.
There was, in particular, in their first laser team,
people saw, anytime there was a ruse-street person on screen,
they thought it was an inside joke.
Like, people didn't understand in the scene,
I'm not spoiling anything in laser team
if you haven't seen it.
When Michael falls in the pool at the high school party
and then Trevor, they cut to a shot and Trevor's in the shot
and Trevor like leads forward just takes a photo
of the guy falling off getting tased
and falling in the pool.
And everyone's like, yeah,
but if you don't know who Trevor is,
you're not gonna get that joke.
You're not gonna get why it's funny
that Trevor's taking a photo of Michael.
It's like, that has nothing to do with it anyway.
It's just, we just, that's it.
He's just an extra taking a photo.
It's just like a normal moment.
But because it was Trevor, everyone was kind of put all this like that's it. He's just an extra taking a photo. It's just like a normal moment, but because it was Trevor
Everyone's gonna put all this like importance into it. We should do a cut where all of those
Efferves is removed so Michael falls in the pool and then it cuts to just a blank space with nothing happening
Yeah
Or what we should do is every time we put a Rishi's person in a cameo in one of the features
We should do their scene and right here. No scene. They all go
in one of the features, we should do their scene and right at the end of the scene, they all go.
Did it?
We will cut that into the extended version.
But yeah, so it's like, we're trying to find the balance.
And it's like, I think a lot of people notice
that the trailer for Blood Fest
doesn't really feature anybody from Rousherti.
Like, Barbara's in one or two shots.
Barbara's in one or two shots, but she doesn't have like,
she's, you can hear one of her lines of dialogue,
but she's not on camera talking.
Right.
And it's like, that's,
I wasn't like, core on that when they were cutting
that trailer, but I'm pretty sure that's deliberate
to see like how people react.
Cause we're still trying to find that balance.
Cause she was cut from the movie too, completely.
Yeah, all on the final.
They superimposed my scenes onto her for some reason.
It's really weird.
But Barbara has the biggest role.
Can we talk about finally the Jacob Rooney who was when he came here and he was on
the podcast and why we who I we didn't air that podcast.
I wasn't here too.
Because I've heard about that.
But I didn't know if that's something weird.
I think there's speculation that what he talked about was...
No, no.
No, no, is there whatever.
But that's not at all the case.
That's not at all the case.
Well, I mean, what can happen?
Is there anything bad that can happen?
Well, we had a technical issue with it.
And then we also had the issue that we had a 20-year-old kid on the podcast,
and we did realize that we're all drinking around a 20 year old kid.
That's not a good thing to do.
I didn't realize he was 20.
We didn't know either.
We didn't know either.
He was 20?
Yeah.
We call him a movie star and he's 20 at the time.
So it's like, oh, we can't hear a podcast
where we're all drinking around a 20 year old
doesn't work that way.
Yeah.
Oops.
Oops.
That's one.
And then actually we had a huge audio issue on that one.
So it's kind of like, well, we could do this and rebuild it or record that.
It was like, no, just don't do that.
We'll just let it go.
Interesting.
Yeah.
I don't even know.
Well, I didn't even drink when the kids were here for the Lemon Challenge when they were
here talking about that.
And they just had that thing.
You see that they set the world record.
Yeah.
It was great.
It was just a couple days ago.
So what's the Lemon Challenge?
This is like new ice bucket thing, where you like eat a
lemon or something. I've only heard a little bit about it.
If the lemon destroy lemon, they were trying to have a viral competition,
kind of like the ice bucket challenge, where they would get people to
register for the bone marrow registration. So where they can do bone marrow
matches, which is really important for, you know, helping people with
leukemia.
Yeah, I saw some people,
like I guess not fully understanding
what the point of all of it was.
Like I saw Meg did a video with the lemon challenge things.
She tweeted out and I saw one of the replies was like,
I get that this is important and cool and all.
I just don't understand like the lemon challenge aspect of this.
What's the point of all that?
Is that going to reply like, well,
if you clicked on the hashtag or you watched the video,
you would learn what exactly you have to do is.
Right, you would learn what the point of it is
and the fact that they're going for a world record.
Speaking of bones, where is your skeleton?
It's inside you.
Well, my skeletons inside me, your skeletons inside you.
But where are you?
I'm in my brain. So you'll see your bones in your brain? No, my skeletons inside me, your skeletons inside you. But where are you?
I'm in my brain.
So you're skeletons in your brain?
No, my skeletons around my brain.
So you're in your skeleton?
Yeah, it's not in you.
I'm like a pilot.
And the skull is my cockpit, and I'm up there
and the eyes are my windows.
Every time someone asks you where your skeleton is,
it's around you and that's weird.
I think what you're saying, it's not in us, it's around us.
I consider myself like collectively me.
It's below me.
You have to keep in mind that like,
I have not, I don't have a great personality.
So like muscles are a part of this.
So like, I have to factor that in to it.
So do you think,
you don't have a good personality?
Cause I don't have a good personality.
You do?
You have to look like nice dude.
You don't have a nice,
we're gonna stop you right there because I don't want this if you're gonna be a pity party. Like,. Yeah, you do. You have to look nice, dude. You have to look nice. We're gonna stop here because I don't want this
to become a pity party.
Like, wait, it's all right, you're okay.
No, no, no.
Why is every compliment?
Kiss, I'm bad at taking compliments.
Do you not have as much respect for your bones
as you do for your muscles?
No, I have a lot of respect for my bones
because I never broke a bone.
Are you better at boning or muscleing?
Muscling? Muscling.
I got a new because I feel like I know for my muscles, but not for my bones.
See, I'm I see never good at bones.
I'm known for boners.
So there's that with circle.
I get a story.
I don't.
But like, I don't know why, why do you think you have a bad personality?
She's like low confidence.
Yeah, maybe.
Cause I can tell you, it's like 50 to 55% of the people
that work here like you.
Got most people, most people enjoy your company.
Most good to know.
Just over half statistically, it's a good personality.
Yeah, it's good enough.
Yeah, I'd say like my skeleton is part of me, but I wouldn't say it's inside personality. Yeah, it's good enough. Yeah, I'd say like, my skeleton is part of me,
but I wouldn't say it's inside of me or around me.
Okay.
Who do you think likes you the least at the company?
Gab, this is tough one for you.
For me to, yeah.
I, for myself, I'll for plan.
For you.
Oh.
Oh, I mean, do we wanna say that though?
Cause I know the answer.
What is yours, what's yours, Gus? Who dislikes you that though? Cause I know the answer. What is yours guys?
Who dislikes you the most?
Who dislikes me the most here?
Who do you think dislikes you the most?
There's a lot of people who'll probably dislike me.
But I can't say that though.
I have to think about it.
I know, I know his.
I'm opinion the ask for a lot of people.
You are, that's the thing.
It's not about them, it's about you.
Right.
It's like who's, who's life do I make the most difficult?
You missed a spit take on Gavin there. He's probably you. Right. It's like who's life do I make the most difficult? You missed a spit-take on Gavin there.
Please.
It's probably someone from sales.
Oh, from sales?
Yeah, I was at the department.
How about department?
Which department?
Which department?
Which department?
How about that?
Oh, okay, here we go.
I don't know what.
Oh, but the live action department may hate me more.
Why?
Oh, a cheaman hunter.
Why did I hate you?
Oh, I don't think a cheaman hunter collectively hates me,
but there is an individual in a cheaman hunter that does not I hate you? I don't think a cheaman hunter collectively hates me, but there's an individual in a cheaman hunter
that does not like me.
Who's this? Interesting.
I don't know.
We don't have to go down this path, but I think so.
You started it.
Well, I was just answering the question.
I didn't know we were gonna have to answer it.
Oh, this is true.
Oh, shit.
I know Gavin, though.
Do you think anyone would mind if we brought them up?
Like, who do you mind it?
Well, the problem with this is I don't,
if I want to talk to him about it, then I'll talk to brought them up. Like, who do you mean minus? Well, the problem with this is I don't,
if I wanna talk to him about it, then I'll talk to him about it.
I don't wanna like start some shit talk.
Can I guess?
Sure.
You think Michael hates you.
Yeah, I just think Michael hates you.
Really?
Yeah.
Michael doesn't hate you.
Michael doesn't hate me.
Michael doesn't hate me.
No, Michael doesn't hate me.
I can, no, I've never gotten that impression.
Uh, yeah, I don't know.
Maybe it's, I, uh, misunderstand his,
I think it's like he's got that attenuated personality.
Jersey facade.
No, what I think it is, is that Michael is used
to being the only person in the room who's talking
because he just talks and talks and talks.
So what happens is when he's not talking,
he just says this.
Yeah.
And he just, he stares at you.
And I know a lot of people get put off
by that Michael quiet stare, but he's just giving you your time to you. And I know a lot of people get put off by that Michael Quiet stare.
But he's just giving you your time to talk.
You guys had a moment on the podcast
where you were fronting on each other for that bit.
It was tense.
That was tense.
It was tense, I was seriously tense.
I got on video.
He stepped up.
That was when we had audio podcasts.
You were squaring up on him.
So you guys, what I asked this kind of question, though,
because he said he was upset with a dude in a club
and he was gonna, before Lindsey told the guy to fuck off,
Michael was gonna step in until they got a fuck off.
But he never got the chance or something like that.
I think that was the reason.
And I was like, I said, okay, what does this look like?
Show me, I'm the guy.
When you read, I'm like, dude, yeah, he's like turned on in a second
and he was to got my face and he was like, the fuck out of here?
That's scary. What's the problem that he's the most?
I was dealing with the person.
Oh, I think a Vaughn is done with me.
A Vaughn's like, which in a friendly way,
but I can tell most of the time,
it's like as soon as I start talking,
she's like,
get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get,
she would actually do that, yeah.
Oh, there it is.
Yeah, that's the old Puka.
Yeah, long hair on my face.
You guys are gonna kiss.
This is uncomfortable.
No, okay, so young. He's like, No, he's so young.
He's like, he's like in my space.
And it wasn't, it was actually tense.
It was.
He did that to me on a livestream
where he was like blackout drunk.
He was like an extra life thing.
And he got up real tight on my face.
And I didn't know how to interact with him
because I was like, I'm not gonna let him intimidate me,
but at the same time,
I don't wanna start a beef live on air and for the people who are like watching this'm not gonna let him intimidate me, but at the same time, I don't wanna start a beef live
on air and for the people who are watching this thing.
I let him.
So I just went with it and was like,
ah, I get one Michael.
I didn't know it was really uncomfortable.
And then from then on, I was like, that guy just liked me.
So maybe that was what started it, I don't know.
I like Michael if he doesn't watch the show.
Who do you like least?
Oh.
We noticed that question.
It's Gavin, we noticed that question.
It's Gavin, everybody just likes Gavin.
Yeah, I can not get answer that.
I can't answer that.
No, I wouldn't expect you to answer that.
That'd be rude.
Yeah.
When you did your spit take right now,
there was a moment at the all hands earlier today.
You know, we have this all hands meeting every now
and then where the whole company comes out.
Who was it?
Someone was giving a presentation at the all hands meeting
and they said something I thought was so funny.
I did a spit-taken, I wasn't drinking anything.
Like they just sliced my mouth.
I'm gigantic.
What are they?
What was it?
They were just fuck boys thing.
Yeah, they were describing an upcoming project
and they used the term fuck boy in a very funny way.
Yeah, but it's also in like a formal meeting
where everybody's talking to business
and then someone was like, yeah, the fuck boys and then everyone's like like I did the same thing guys like my instinct reaction
Well part of that was the that presentation was the achieve line
But you guys did one of the best photo shoots. I think you've ever done. What's it there?
Well, no, oh, okay shorts. You didn't like the short shorts. I've already saw you that damn like what the fuck are you wearing was that not your choice?
No, it wasn't my choice you pulled off team play gave it to me. I was like I was like clearly short short
Clearly someone's trying to make me look like an idiot and then I thought I'm gonna make them regret it by making
Most of the pictures completely what's funny is by rolling them up so high that my pockets were flappin' out
I saw you guys I ran into you guys when you were walking over there to take those photos
And you were wearing that get up and I didn't even ask I ran into you guys when you were walking over there to take those photos and you were wearing that get up
And I didn't even ask you all what you're doing. It was just like oh there they go. I had done but an eyelid
This is like whatever like what are you doing?
Why are you wearing days to do that?
That looks like it'd be a poster. That's a good looking thing. Wait, I haven't done a poster in a while. This is a live-action one. Is the achieve thing? Is that a?
This is a live action one. Is the achieved thing?
Is that a magnet?
Okay, it just holds it up with the sand.
Oh, fuck, I forgot about that.
Oh, is it?
No, no, no, no, no.
Now that's all I can see in the photo,
is it just holding it up?
Yeah, I think it was gonna slip down.
That's a strength.
What is this, oh, man?
It's also a magnet.
It's sticking a little bit on its own.
Yeah, no, don't take that away from him.
He's holding up that whole thing.
It's also a fucking banner, you know.
I mean, there's,
well, how come he has to hold that end in the other end?
It'll stay up. It's a magnet. I get it. But the whole weight probably
makes it slide down if it's not supported. Uh-huh. There's a wet car. Right. And he got
holding it in place. Wet from magnets? Oh, they can affect it. I'm like, getting this. Can we
do a reenactment? Let's get that car back. Get it out. You guys gotta show me. Who hates you the most?
Like, so I said earlier sales, I think it might be whoever has to schedule or work with me
in the live action department.
Can I nominate myself?
Maybe.
We've like you are cooperative.
Maybe Cameron, because I have to make him really wrangle the schedule in the calendar
for availability.
That's why I would say.
I know which department hates me the most.
Live action, accounting,
event, accounting for,
I hate you the most.
Uh, what else do you have?
Anything that like comes up against your travel schedule,
it just doesn't like you.
Achievement, honey.
Used to be,
I don't know.
Bernie's assistant pool.
That was a bad department for you,
but you get that all worked out.
Well, they've all gone.
What's, yeah, she's gone now.
Yeah.
What you guys worked it out before, she left.
Did you go that role?
No, I'm looking for a new assistant right now.
And by the way, Ellie's still here.
She's just doing other stuff.
Got a rough yourself.
What doesn't she miss being our assistant?
God, I wouldn't imagine so.
But all the perks though, she got to find a fucking helicopter.
She had a thing out of it.
Yeah, why don't you be a,
she's working on her own show now.
Can I be her assistant?
Do you think I can handle that?
I listen, I, I, I, I, I, I,
You can be a sugar baby, just put in a,
a lower bid than Gavin.
Ah, Bernie?
I'm a 50-400.
Yeah, for what?
What's that mean?
What are you doing over there?
He's paying me to be a sugar baby.
54, what is the number of 5400 mean?
I get the average, that's the average allowance monthly
for a sugar baby.
That's not very, what?
Oh yeah, that's that's good.
60K a year.
Yeah, that's not bad.
Tax rate cash.
Yeah, I can mortgage a seven figure house probably.
Why would that have to be tax free?
Can we give tax, wouldn't it?
I'm sure they're just getting cash, right?
I'm sure there's a lot of sugar daddy's right in that off.
$5,000 a month.
Right in that off, that's amazing.
For what?
For your sugar purposes.
Bubba, I don't know what I'm going to call.
Maybe you offer it.
What are you offering?
You know, look, you get me, you're upsetting my sugar finger there.
Workout partner.
But.
Yeah, yeah.
He's not doing that.
Drive your car.
I read an article.
I read an article.
I read an article.
You're self-driving car.
I tried to loan.
Blaine, my car for the weekend when he had a girl that he knew was coming in from out of town. This year's and years ago, and he wouldn't take my car. I tried to loan Blaine my car for the weekend when he had a girl that he
knew was coming in from out of town. This years and years ago, and he wouldn't take my
car. That's the item on a record. Yeah. And it was also, I think I'd explain to you
too, because I didn't know this girl. I think she was like a model for like the chive.
Okay, that's not like a humble wreck. Anyways, I did just a play straight up brand. I didn't
want to put out the percept.
She was crazy.
She ended up being like, all right, all right, all right.
I'm good.
I'm terrible at it.
Like in like a cool sexy way, but it's still crazy.
Anyway, crazy bitch, crazy bitch.
But I didn't want to put out the, she didn't know me well enough
that to know what my car was.
And I didn't want her first date showing up in a Tesla
and her being like, this guy drives a Tesla, he must fuck and then,
etc, etc. So I was like, no, I'm going to show up in my shitty,
Chevy HHR, whatever the fuck I was driving at the time.
So yeah, I do like how you say Tesla.
Tesla is that nice? You say like with a Z.
Tesla? Yeah, a lot of people say Tesla.
Tesla. Tesla. Oh, what was the guy's name?
Tesla. Tesla.
Tesla. Yeah. I was a Tesla's name? Is it Tesla? Tesla Tesla. Yeah, I was a Tesla
Is it with a Z? No, no, I have a you know, I've got that model 3 pre-order. We got fucking delayed
I
Well, I'm surprised is it? Yeah, I guess not I had a thing this weekend
Well in my car you crashed it. No, what kind of I went I took the kids to
today by the way or this weekend was Teddy's
13th birthday two teenagers so that's where this comes from all this gray beard is no
I have no more kids. I have teenagers now. I have no kids. Jesus still kids. I mean I have children
But they're not they're not like kids. You have spawn. I've got my adults
13 year old can't take care of themselves. He better learn. Can I ask you a person?
He's good a few years still.
What?
Can I ask you a personal question?
I think when people ask, can I ask you a question?
Just ask the fucking question.
What the point of asking can I ask you a question?
I'll answer it a lot.
No, because it builds tension.
It's always gonna be good.
No, I just, I just,
I just, I just, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no For regarding whatever we were just talking about, and it's whether I'm gauging whether or not Bernie
is comfortable talking about that.
When you ask someone that, have they ever said no?
Yes, if they're like the context of the discussion.
No one ever says no to that.
Just ask the question.
Just ask the question,
let that be a lesson for everybody.
Being like an internet personality and stuff like that,
do you think that you have an expiration date?
That seems like a personal question.
I'm not a personal question. I'm not a person.
Yeah, no, not really.
I mean, I started doing this when I was 29.
And now most of the people who I think struggle with that,
not never see it, but like in YouTube and online video
in general, they're like younger than that and aging out.
You know what I mean?
It's like, man, you're like six years off or five years off.
I was started doing this. How does Fred when he aged out? I don't know. I mean, I don't it's also there is the
There is the concept of burning super bright and then half as long and I think that that
Rurshji has been this nice steady
Slow burn you have burned so so bright. Yeah, it's like we were never
I've said I've said this before we were never in the course of the last
15 years which we're gonna be 15 years on April 1st I
Can never say that we were number one ever like we never had the biggest thing
Mm-hmm like reversible season one was crazy that was like
But still home star runner was bigger and then a few years later when Rooster was there when red versus blue was still going and still had
It's tried the guild was always the thing that everyone was talking about at that point in time.
But even if you look at Red versus Blue, it's not the most popular machinima of all time.
The most popular machinima that gets referenced the most is Lee Roy Jenkins.
It's just that one one off video.
Short though compared to him.
No, that's a totally different thing.
That's slow burn versus the, I mean, Lee Roy Jenkins was a one-off video.
I maybe I haven't kept up with the guy's career,
but I don't think he's done much since then, you know?
I think I was at an event where he was speaking
and he was there as Lee Roy Jenkins like five years later.
Oh, weird.
Yeah.
And it's hard to imagine.
Yeah, and it's like, you know, that's the way
the internet works is if you're doing a series
or you're doing something longer form,
you're never gonna be as popular as the viral thing of that day.
You're never gonna be as popular as the cat to fill in the pool.
You know?
So you can't try to compete with that, you know?
Not that that's what the guild and home star runner are,
but Rishi's always not being number one.
He kind of helped us, I think, last a longer period of time.
Well, I also, like, in your position,
actually, like, thinking about it,
there's, like, dudes, like, Patrick Stewart thinking about it, there's like dudes like Patrick Stewart
that are like old dudes,
but they're still like the fucking hot commodity.
Like if I could hang out with Patrick Stewart,
I absolutely would.
So, if you think you wanna hang out with me a lot,
does that wish to hang?
No.
No, it's me that's the thing.
Yeah.
Yeah, but yeah, there's like older dudes
that are like still super, like Neil deGrasse Tyson
is kind of like an older-ish guy,
but he's still like, he's an older guy.
He's like, what is he?
50s, 60s?
No, he was doogie house in like 1995.
You know what?
12 in that.
Neil deGrasse, you know what I got his,
I got his, I got his, you know what I'm called on.
Neil, but you know who else?
Patrick, you're insulted by this conversation, aren't you?
That, what's his name?
Yeah, he's insulted.
Wait, are you talking about Neopetric Harris
and Neopetric Harris Tyson?
Neopetric Harris.
I said Neopetric Harris Tyson.
But I knew who you met.
Wait, you're saying you're thinking of her.
And I was like, no, I got confused.
I was like, sorry, I just watched Starship Troopers.
I had my own conversation over here.
How old is he?
You're not to be insulted by my mistake.
I was so confused.
I thought Neopetric Harris is not fucking 50. No, Neopetric Harris Tyson, sorry. That's who he's by my mistake. I was so confused. I got Neil Patrick Harris, it's not fucking 50.
No.
Neil deGrasse Tyson, sorry.
That's who he's, yeah, he's an old dude.
How old is Neil deGrasse?
It's 59.
You should be worried about Neil deGrasse Tyson.
I whistled a little bit.
And you should be worried about Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Because when he was in college, he was fucking ripped.
Go look at my college photo.
So it was my dad.
I've Neil deGrasse Tyson.
I was talking to that, talking to somebody today about it.
And I was like, yeah, my dad looked like fucking her healies when he was in like college and Tyson. I was talking to that talking to somebody today about it and I was like
Yeah, my dad looked like fucking her he leaves when he was in like college in early. What does he look like now?
He's just a more robust dude. He's an off-and-sort line coach
He's an offensive line coach at a high school in Texas
Are you excited for you to just let yourself go? And I don't you think you'll keep it up?
I don't worry. I gotta all I have to do is maintain this. This is not hard
This is like five minutes a day.
This whole thing that you've got going on with these things and those things, it's just
like, yes, unsustainable.
That pot, what are you gonna do?
Look at me on the grass, Justin.
I feel like he did the whole Einstein thing where Einstein was like, I'm just gonna
wear the same clothes every day because I don't want to fucking think about it.
Look at that guy though.
I mean, look at the transformation that he had to make to play Dugi Hauser.
I don't know.
I'm not trying to pull that.
That's the best vacuum.
That's like Christian bail level
of like commitment to the role.
The machine is losing all that weight.
Yeah, listen, that's the thing I'm,
I'm in a period now where I'm trying to cut weight.
Way harder.
Why are you doing that?
Way harder at 45.
For some, I'm working on later in the year, Ciso.
I'm even giving myself a yo-yo.
I'm giving myself a long runway,
and it's still just like, he's talking about weight,
yo-yo, C-Saw, I've always heard that yo-yo.
A yo-yo is a thing you do in your hand.
I thought that's a C-Saw.
What's a C-Saw?
A C-Saw's when one person's in the end of the board
and then he first goes, like,
so what are you referring to? What's going up and down? Why did you say C-Saw? A seesaw's when one person's in the end of the board and then the first person's like, so what are you referring to?
Yeah.
Going up and down.
Why did you say seesaw?
Yeah, seesaw.
If you're trying to lose weight,
you can like get good at seesaw with a lighter person
or something like that.
That's a far more.
I was thinking like going up and down and weight
like a seesaw goes up and down.
That's what I thought.
Yeah, that's what I thought also.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I'm way behind everybody today.
No, I was with you.
To be fair, that was just a throwaway comment
that didn't deserve the focus on like my Neil Patrick Harris
Patrick re-insulge by Gavin's comments
Wait, what?
All right, let me let me read this thing here

And I saw that Twitter announced they were discontinuing their macOS Twitter app.
Why did Twitter have a macOS app?
That doesn't make any sense to me. You have a web browser. It's a web-based platform.
What's like TweetDeck?
I have a TweetDeck app, yeah. Right?
You do stuff that you can't.
But isn't TweetDeck also just in browser?
Yeah, they had an app and then they killed it.
Yeah.
And then I thought it was built into the OS.
I thought it was like a pot of notifications, wasn't it?
I don't know if it still is, but it was.
It was into the OS.
I haven't been to the Mac App Store in probably years, honestly.
Probably most people.
Like, I don't, I don't use apps anymore.
I feel like, like Twitter still here.
The app apps aren't like, that's not like the hot thing right now.
Because I remember when you wanted to make money,
you made a hot app.
But that was like a mobile app.
Are you saying that people don't make apps anymore?
No, they did.
Apps are over.
No, no, I'm saying that a-
So down, you can't download anything else.
Now it's all widgets.
Well, no, like a-
Oh man, I missed widgets.
Well, fuck it.
Cause I feel like the App Store was something new
that the PC didn't have in the Mac brought
to like the whole equation.
Well see I, my Windows 10, everything is apps now as well.
Oh, so I guess this would show over.
Yeah but that App Store sucks.
The Windows store?
The Windows store is garbage.
Of course it's garbage.
Terrible.
Have they never used a store before?
I don't know how you can make it worse.
I moved my entire library of content, movies and music.
I'm slowly moving it over to Microsoft.
I love music. I'm going to have to keep with iTunes. I'm just too deep there.
I just buy physical media. No, not for music, but all movies. I found Blu-ray.
I was saying, I don't own anything on Xbox or Zoom or Ever or Apple.
I don't want it.
Only things that I really enjoy the visual fidelity of, I'll buy a physical media for.
You don't enjoy the visual fidelity.
But like if it's like, it's really important.
See, the other day I bought Magruba on Blu-ray.
I would never have seen that.
Oh, fuck.
But Basekiple as well.
I bought the only two movies that I own on my PlayStation or a console are X-Men, Days
of Future Past because I really fucking wanted to watch it and I didn't want to drive
the store.
And the Grover, I bought my Grover 2, it's a fucking classic.
You watch my Grover some time?
Yeah, I do.
I really do.
Meg was to come to.
She loves that movie.
Yeah.
Alright, cool.
Let's hang out.
We won't.
You're so full of shit.
If there's anything bad about you, you're just a liar.
Oh, Kevin doesn't hate you. Oh, Kevin, don't hit you.
Oh.
I came to your house at one time.
You came out with your penis.
That's true.
Yeah.
I was a dick out.
So I was like,
You're the door and you dick, hold on.
Why'd you go to the door and you dick out?
It was my Woody dick.
Oh, I had it poking through.
Just like coming out the bottom of the shirt.
Yeah, no, through the flyhole.
I'll do the flyhole.
Would it be a run down your leg? Weird start to the night if I did something Yeah, no, through the flyhole. I'll do the flyhole. Would it be a running anger leg?
Weird start to the night if I did something similar,
but used real body parts.
No, be fine.
Okay.
Do people know about that?
What?
Publicly, that Woody had a giant dick in the laser team.
I think we mentioned it.
We mentioned like commentary.
I wore a dances belt.
We got a giant dick attached to it
that crushed my actual dick
because of the super tight suits.
And then it was just all cut from movie.
You may have been cut from blood fest,
but my dick was cut out of laser team.
Well, you're fake dick.
What is dick?
My real Gus was cut out of blood fest.
Yeah, that was the learning process with all this stuff.
I said the big learning process from laser team
was writing an R movie and then all of a sudden
it'd be coming a PG-13 movie, partway through. Like you can see the reviews for laser team was writing an R movie and then all of a sudden it'd be coming a PG 13 movie partway through like you can see the reviews for laser team when it was
out at festivals.
But by the way, I just I totally pulled a humble break thing where I retweeted I untweeted
and then retweeted Guillermo Datoros tweet about laser team from like three years ago.
Right after you won the Oscars like, oh yeah.
So let's bump that to the top of the heap.
But yeah, the festival reviews are so different from the other one,
because that was the process by which you went from an R-rated movie to a PG-30.
I like the A cut way better.
I like the R cut way better myself as well.
But also because that's what we wrote on the blue.
And set out to make.
That was the Blu-ray version, right?
I think yeah, that's what it is.
The director's the cut. Yeah, right? I think yeah, that's what it is. The direct cut.
Yeah, our rated version.
Will we only make our movies?
What was the decision behind that, if you don't mind me asking?
I mean, it's always a distribution thing.
When you go to distribution, it was one of the business
decisions that was made to make a beautiful question.
You don't limit the audiences.
You don't want to limit the reach, right?
Gotcha.
Gotcha. I mean, right? Gotcha. Gotcha.
I mean, it was, it was a big debate.
It was a big debate.
It was lasted for a long period of time.
Is there a cut available that people can watch
for the R?
You could watch the Blu-ray, like Gavin said.
Oh, sorry.
I didn't watch the L.A.
I have a copy if you want to borrow it.
You can get to get you watch double feature
McGruber and Laser Team.
What was the last time you watched the Laser Team?
Probably the commentary.
Okay.
Got Bernie.
Well, I watched it when we were in pre-production
for Laser Team 2.
Yeah, I rewatched it right before the Laser Team 2 premiere.
I think was the last time I saw it.
So just kind of like catch up on everything.
Yeah, and stuff.
Make it all for it.
Mine was like, I wanna make sure that we carry things through
for Laser Team 2, you know,
because we got on set. There's a bunch of ad-living,
especially with Colton and Nicole.
It was just like, you get through the scene
and they're like, okay, now what can we do to punch it up
and do some things?
And you can always draw back things from the first one.
Yeah.
I don't think like, if you're doing like callback jokes
to the first episode or whatever,
and call it first iteration in the sequel in a franchise,
I don't think that's an inside joke.
You know, that's an inside joke.
That's the kind of thing where it's like,
kind of paying homage to the whole thing.
I shouldn't think of a movie where there was an inconsistency
with a character from the first one of the sequel.
I feel like Rambo maybe.
I feel like Rambo's first.
I watched Matrix, The Oracle,
and she died in the first place.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah.
I would have fit for the character.
They were able to navigate that.
Yeah. I watched Rambo for the first, well, first blood. I watched for the character. They were able to navigate that.
I watched Rambo for the first,
well, first blood.
I watched for the first time.
Yeah.
The other day.
It's not anything like what I thought that movie was about.
It's really not the super depressing movie.
Oh, yeah, you mean first blood?
Yeah.
It's about a veteran that's like,
with corrupt cops and everything.
I thought it was like a badass.
I thought it was like a,
I thought it was like kicking ass like,
like, even the world was with the...
Rambo.
Rambo.
It's like alien to aliens.
He's like, splatting cops and, he's clearly got some PTSD mental health issues.
Dark movie.
Yeah.
And I don't know why I always pictured it being like, yeah, what the sequel is.
He's either the later one.
Yeah, where he goes and does that kind of stuff.
Yeah.
I mean, about two's baths.
It starts with him like prison, chain gun, that's kind of stuff.
When you're expecting that and you watch, when you watch first blood.
Yeah. And then the credits roll and you watch when you watch first blood. Yeah.
And the credits roll and I was like, oh God.
I just watch.
You just feel like sci-fi and horror stuff
from the early 80s, which when first blood came out.
It's super dark.
Like it's like messes with your head.
Like the movie The Extrasist,
when it came out with seven, it's like,
it's about a little girl possessed by a demon,
and it's just horrifying.
I had sex to Rosemary's baby one time,
and it was a really fucking weird situation.
How did that happen?
I, we, we, we, we went on a date, and we got back,
and we're popped in, Rosemary hates the fucking Netflix
and chill thing, but it was exactly that,
where she was like, hey, do you wanna watch a movie?
And she's like, sure, sure.
So, and I voice cracked, just like that.
And we plugged in, you know, she was, we're going through, and she was a film buff, so then it was like, sure, sure. So, and I voiced crack, just like that. And we plugged in, she was, we're going through
and she was a film buff, so then she was like,
let's watch Rosemary's Baby.
I was like, okay, yeah, yeah.
And we ended up hooking up
and this lady's having a demon baby on the move.
I don't remember what happened
because we're having sex, so.
Yeah.
You actually having intercourse during
Rosemary's Baby.
The moment you didn't move out of the room
and like go to the bedroom or like,
no, my bedroom was a fucking pigstie and I didn't expect to bring anybody home or like pause it or mute it
Might have loaded the volume down you would take someone home that night besides being on a date potentially
What I mean I I actually I told myself I was like not gonna bring you by home tonight. I'm not gonna
I've gone down that path before just knocking it and then you know then, you know, two hours later, and like, little, little blame took over.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I like that, but, like, as a, as a young guy,
I spent all my time like, okay, I really,
really want to try and hook up with someone,
and you're like, I'm not going to do it.
I'm definitely not doing it tonight.
Oh, I did it.
I didn't.
Oh, I'm going to do it.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
my penis, oh, god.
I also like the mature mindset, too, of like,
I'm going to go out, I'm not going to do this.
I'm not going to do it. So I'm not going to clean my room, because then I won't bring someone home. It's like, then you make the mature decision, you bring, I'm gonna go out, I'm not gonna do this. I'm not gonna do it.
So I'm not gonna clean my room
because then I won't bring someone home.
It's like, then you make the mature decision.
You bring him home anyway.
And you think, listen, I don't wanna like,
insult you by taking the dirty bedroom.
I'm just gonna fuck you on the ottoman right here.
Well, Rosemary's baby is flaky.
And I'm not gonna stop it.
We're just gonna lower the volume.
I had a thing, I was like sort of like flirty time
with a girl watching a movie at home
and she wanted to watch the boy in the Stripe pajamas.
Oh, no.
Which I never seen.
And I was like, you're sticking on
and she'd never seen it.
And then, you know, it's about the war.
It's about, I mean, the movie ends.
Concentration.
Boiler.
With the kid, he gets gassed with a load of Jews by Nazis. And you don't want
to touch anyone off to the credits roll on that one. It was it was a limp dick end to the night.
Trying to think of some other really shit date movies. So like I saw Interstellar on a first date.
Has a basic instinct on a first date. What's wrong with the stellar? I mean, it was a fantastic
movie and stuff,
but like, there was no romance after that.
We didn't have becoming boyfriend girlfriend afterwards,
but then we had a great conversation that night,
but it was just like, we were just exhausted,
like emotionally and like, because of how long it was.
We need a better phrase than,
that means boyfriend girlfriend without saying it.
So when you say boyfriend girlfriend,
it sounds so like immature.
Like, through a couple.
Yeah, but you're a couple when you're dating, like two.
What about you go together?
Yeah, right?
Go on steady.
Everything's so good.
We became partners, we started a business.
We were boyfriend girlfriend, just like, I don't know.
So what is Ashley, oh, fiancee, yeah.
fiancee, yeah.
I call her my girlfriend, a regular basis and she says,
that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that,
that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, says, that's a good idea. What's the big to you?
The girl.
Okay.
Yeah, girlfriend.
But we're not dating.
She made that very clear.
You're not dating?
No, I mean, we're like boyfriend and girlfriend,
but that's different to dating.
You go on a study.
You're in a committed relationship.
Yeah.
There you go.
You.
Yeah.
What is dating then?
Just the front bit, the beginning bit,
where you go on dates.
Who's trying to figure it out?
Gotta have progression.
I feel like, yeah, dating's like the job interview part.
I feel like there needs to be a term for boyfriend
or girlfriend who lives with you.
I agree with that.
There's no separation.
It's like, oh my girlfriend, she lives with me.
Living in sin.
Yeah.
The partners go with the very generic partner.
Because I feel like the step from girlfriend to girlfriend who lives with you is bigger than
the step from girlfriend who lives with you to wife.
Really, is it?
Because it's not as much changes.
If I got married, if I was married now, nothing in my life would be different except the
label.
You divide everything by two.
You made my microphone.
You know your microphone just died.
Your microphone just watched the whole thing
in the stripe of jam.
I haven't seen this movie.
I don't know what it is, but it sounds horrible.
It's really sad.
There was another time where I was with someone,
a lady, we were not going steady.
And it was a freeing stair Marshall.
And the movie, it is a great movie. And we was a, for getting Sarah Marshall and the good movie.
It is a great movie and we were laughing
to have a great time and stuff like that
and then like towards the end, you know, we were doing things
and then it went through the credits
and then the theme, like the menu song
that plays during the menu was,
is Russell Brant singing inside of you,
inside of you, inside of you,
and it was just some loop.
And I thought it was gonna stop after like five repeats.
And then I was like, stop, I gotta go like,
turn to the fucking thing off.
And were you inside when that happened?
When it came up?
Maybe.
That was in the living room I gotta point out too.
Is this like your bedroom chronically dirty?
No, that was my, enjoy fucking on the couch.
That was my bedroom at my mom and dad's house,
which is a whole different thing.
You go, hey baby, the bedroom's from a boyfriend girlfriend.
That's when you get the bedroom.
How did you have sex when you were living with your parents?
I never did.
I didn't, yeah.
Yeah, that was with my parents.
Now, I just had to add an episode of college.
That's not something you can take back.
What do you mean?
Who is them here and you do that?
Well, with me though, like I might have my rooms
on the opposite side of the house,
I wonder if my parents were aware.
Of course.
Colorful watching this right now.
You know what I'm gonna have been?
What's up?
Colorful and ask them.
Nope, I'm good.
Text them.
Have you ever done it with a girl at her parents?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and that was fucking risky too.
Because there was one time where we almost got caught.
We heard the garage door open and we just like,
it was like the whole thing where you're throwing clothes on
and trying to clear off the sweat, wipe off the things.
Wait, wait.
That was like, that was a really scary. That like, if I had to think of like a
scary moment, that was one of them, where it's like, oh, shit. Good, my ass beat. Yeah, I never, never,
never did it at my parents house. Mm-hmm. Even later as an adult visiting, that's what I visit very
frequently. Oh, that's weird. Yeah. We're like a family, we take a family trip.
That's what I wanna know about.
No matter, it never gets normal.
That'd be a good stat to know each person in the company.
What was the oldest they were
when they had sex at their parents' house?
I imagine like full grown adults
when they go home for holidays.
Yeah, but they can't just not do it for like a weekend.
So with that specific situation,
or weekend maybe, yeah.
You take out your parents SUV and you fold down the seats
in the back and you find an empty neighborhood
that's under construction.
And then afterwards you get paper towels
and you wipe down the sweaty windows.
Speculation didn't happen.
Blaine, you've had a lot of interesting experiences.
You're a grown man, Renekah.
Oh yeah.
You're doing that, Kyle.
Renekah, Renekah, Renekah Hotel.
Oh yeah, Renekroom.
Get a room.
Okay, let me read this thing.
I want to remind everyone, this podcast is also brought
to you by the Rooster Teeth Store
and it's brand new Achieve Collection.
If you don't know about Rooster Teeth,
Rooster Teeth was founded by a few broke college kids
who wanted to make movies, but couldn't afford to, so they cut out the middleman and made their own.
A few billion views later, they're still at it.
Seriously though, we're really excited about the new line from Achievement Hunter.
I think it really represents the Achievement Hunter guys and their punk rock aesthetic.
No, it doesn't.
Okay, we got the t-shirts here.
I got a couple right there.
But they're also got long sleeve tees, a hoodie, and a hat.
They just went up this weekend.
They're selling like crazy.
Go ahead and check them out at store.rusty.com.
Tell them Gus sent you.
That's me, I'm Gus.
Of course, you got to turn the camera, dude.
No, I didn't. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I was looking at it. It's a good bit. He's only ever slicking you. I'm blocking your space with a giant black shirt.
It's good looking.
I had the idea that we should get in the gaps where there's no actual sponsorship.
We should get someone from sales to come on and explain themselves.
I don't, do you mind though?
I mean, we...
Did you make a difference?
You know?
Right?
I mean, I'm fine with having no add that,
but it's someone dropped the pool, right?
Yeah, right.
It seems like it.
I can't remember.
It's been like a long time since we've had open inventory.
What happened?
Are we losing popularity?
We're gonna have to update the two hates
that we have on the most question after this one.
Well, now we're on Spotify,
so even more people can listen.
Hopefully.
It's good.
And there's no ads.
So it's a record.
The, I want to thank you about something that came up
last week.
You told me, I did homework for the podcast.
Okay.
You told me to watch the Cloverfield Paradox.
Yes.
And I watched the Cloverfield Paradox.
I can't remember what your opinion of Cloverfield Paradox was.
Okay, with my opinion was, it's okay.
It's not a great movie, but I'm glad they're making it.
It's totally fine.
It's totally fine.
It's totally fine.
Everyone was so upset about this movie.
It's okay.
It's totally fine.
Yeah, there are pretty some pretty glaring plot holes.
Yeah.
But.
It's fine.
Yeah.
That's why I told you.
It's really fine.
Just watch it for yourself.
I don't get why people are so mad about their movie.
It's fine.
Are they mad about the end?
They mad about the middle?
I think they're, like you said, there's some weird pacing and plot and consistency things, but It's fun. Are they mad about the end? Are they mad about the middle? I think they're, like you said,
there's some weird pacing and plotting consistency things,
but it's fine.
It's just a B sci-fi film.
Just watch it.
Yeah.
It's got a couple of cool concepts about it,
and maybe they wanted more of a tie-in
to the Cloverfield universe,
but I like the open-end in this and the ambiguity.
Really good cast, too.
Kind of great cast.
Cast was good. What's up, the guy who played Monk, I love. he's in a silver linings playbook. He plays the brother-in-law
Here's a little what's that?
What now not that monk have you ever seen a silver linings playbook? Yeah, but I was fine the theater
I was thinking forever remember that brother-in-law who's like talking about his job
He's like and the pressure the pressure is choking me that guy
He's the guy who plays monk in that and it took me it's one of those actors that it took me like five minutes.
I know this guy, I know him from somewhere.
And actually it was like that with the blonde lady,
the blonde lady, you've seen it?
Yeah, so the blonde lady was the super tall.
Yeah, she's the golden lady in Guardians of the Galaxy T.
Yeah, it took me a while to figure that out.
Yeah.
The villain and a man from Uncle.
I have seen it.
Crazy, and that.
She can then play Brain of Tarte too.
Hmm.
No, I don't think she's like swollen up like no pinch.
Yeah.
What's her face?
Like, you know, I she would kick my ass.
Get badass.
Yeah.
And she was a nice butt.
Remember that one that said we're her butt.
No.
What?
Yeah, she was in the pool with Jamie, and then he says something offensive.
She stands up and it's like, but.
Oh yeah.
It's a good butt.
Yeah.
So it's season three.
So that's when she was taking him back south.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, season two.
The big one, I was surprised at
and Clofield Paradox was that Chris O'Doward.
I was like, what's he doing in this film?
And then he does the occasional,
like weird comedic relief.
Oh, okay, yeah.
You got from Batman?
The guy who was using... I was in Cret. Oh, relief like okay. Yeah, I'm from Batman the guy who was
I was in Oh, I was like I wish I'm the
Guy from aircraft he was yeah, he was the cop in bridesmaids. Yeah, I thought was a weird casting the cop from bridesmaids
Did they address the fact that he was foreign? Can you be a cop in the United States? I think they did ask him that and he's like
Yeah, sorry, I'm pretty sure you can't be.
I couldn't be a part of your plan.
If you can work, why couldn't you?
You can be foreign born and serve in the military.
So to assume you can be foreign born and serve
in the foreign born.
Well, so like people were so fucking mad about this,
or they either loved it or hated it.
Why is, why is, I loved it or hated it,
but I thought it was fine.
It's okay, I didn't regret watching it. I'm happy they made it or hated it, but I thought it was fine. I mean, it's okay. It's okay.
I didn't regret watching it.
I'm happy they made it and I'm happy
they're gonna make more.
Yes.
But like not to bring up Star Wars
because I don't want to stick on
the conversation for too long,
but like that was the same thing
where as people were like,
I fucking hate this movie.
This is the greatest Star Wars of all time.
Like why are people so,
am I the only one that can stray in the middle of line
and be like, yeah, it's just fine.
I think you just hear the people who are on the extreme ends. I guess it's a lot louder than you hear the people who are like, yeah, it was okay. They're not out like going. Yeah, it was all right. You know, yeah, that's true.
I heard the funny thing about Star Wars fans like you can't be a Star Wars fan because you don't hate episodes one to three seven eight and Rogue One. That's only a true Star Wars fan would hate all those movies. It's a genius, true Star Wars fan hate most of the movies.
Right, it's all of all of the movies in the franchise.
Did you see that controversy in quotes about the solo posters?
No.
Oh, the Sony, the graphic design was the same on the posters.
Yeah, the graphic design was very similar to some other posters.
What were there?
And some music posters.
They are very similar. It's very similar, but I'm curious. to some other posters. What were there? And some music posters.
They are very similar.
It's very similar, but I didn't seem like a rip off to me.
It seemed like, I mean, they're very, very similar,
but it seemed like the kind of thing that's generic enough
that someone else could have come up with the same concept.
My problem with the posters is that they're all
fucking like super colorful.
And it looks like a really groovy movie.
And then when you see the footage from the trailer,
it's like really bleak.
It's like the dude that he was a cinematographer for a rival.
And it's just like, it's like blue and sad
and cold looking.
So that was my issue.
It looked like they're making a Guardians of the Galaxy
meets Star Wars when really it looks something like else.
I don't like any of the older characters.
Like watching, I didn't like Solo in episode seven.
I didn't like Luke really in episode eight.
Leia, I'm still kind of okay with.
Why didn't you like Solo?
I just didn't like him.
I just thought, I don't know.
Just like, I didn't respond to it.
The way I was hoping I would respond to it.
I didn't find it cool for him to be back in the Millennium Falcon.
That, that was in the trailer.
I got to see that.
Unfortunately.
Is your issue that you see Harrison Ford and you say,
Hey, that's Harrison Ford, not Han Solo.
That might be the case.
I think that might be a part of it.
Yeah, but I don't feel that way with.
Mark, they are.
Oh, wow.
Shit, those are fucking similar.
I mean, I think because it's a sequence and they made the exact same sequence.
Yeah.
The fact that it's exact same colors is the weird.
Yeah, well, the red blue and, I mean,
the exact shade, that's really fucking slightly different.
The two of you went to little, yeah.
Yeah.
But even like the yellow poster around it, the yellowed.
It's a cool style.
A lot of those posters.
Yeah, there was a,
what was that Spike Lee movie in the 90s,
Clockers and their poster was basically
some murder mystery from the 50s,
and it was like a body outline,
they just like changed the head going the other way.
That was literally all they did.
It was like super stylized poster.
I'm gonna look at some of those.
Yeah, Clockers, I see it here. Posture rip off., I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,

I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like What's her name? Is it reboot or like a sequel? Is it Emily Blunt that's in it? Anybody? Emily Blunt?
No shit, I was the Emily Blunt dude.
I like it.
I like it.
I think so.
Mary the Jim Kazerinsky from office.
Yeah.
What does that have to do with it?
What?
You asked if she's a good kid.
Yeah.
Tim Kazerinsky.
That's an element in the 80s.
So is that Chris Iski?
Chris Iski.
John Chris Iski.
John Chris Iski.
Man, he's directing a film coming up that looks fucking cool
Buy place quiet is a quiet place. Yeah, he directed that yeah, you wrote and directed it and I wrote it. Oh shit
Yeah, really? Yeah, I like that guy second trailer for that movie is pretty fucking intense. Yeah, I think I've seen a trailer for that yet
Quiet place. Yeah see the first trailer. Make sure you watch the first one.
It's cool.
You should go see it.
I like John Kyrzynski, because he told what was what
with Hillary's emails and Bing Gasey.
What?
What are you talking about?
He was in the Bing Gasey movie.
He's got a friend named Ben Gasey.
Why don't get this?
It's a little white. How do you feel about Jordan Peelgett and that,
Oscar?
I feel great about Jordan Peelgett and I feel great,
but I think, okay, there's a lot of shit for this.
I think Cloverfield, Paradox,
and Get Out, fall in the same category for me.
Everyone's going, Abe Shit, forget out.
To me, it felt like,
it's to me, it felt like an episode of Black Mirror.
That was a feature length episode.
Everyone's like, oh my God, I was such a crazy story
and like this, it took all these twists and turns.
I was like, what twists and turns?
It was pretty much straight through.
Well, you kinda had that first twist
where it's like, oh, something's up.
Yeah, but that's like,
meaning the premise of the movie.
I think you're right.
I think you're gonna get a lot of shit for that.
I know, listen, I love what they do.
It's like, when she drops him through the floor, it's like a...
Ooh.
What?
I rewatched it on this weekend before the authors, just to refresh myself on it.
I loved it.
I still, even on a repeat view, and I thought it was...
Yeah, I would say going on a plane recently.
I like it.
I realize I'm in the minority on this.
Everybody really loves get out.
I should probably go back and watch it again and...
I would recommend it.
That's what I was playing after I was pretty well hyped at that point. When I point when you when I rewatched amazing movie that no one's ever seen before when I rewatched
I also picked up on a lot more that I didn't pick up the first time for the first go through
Somebody said that to me about episode eight of Star Wars that if you go back and you watch it it makes sense. Where are you cutting to me?
Yeah, we saw we saw annihilation you You used to that be good to watch again
I think it would be yeah, I don't know when I'll do that. I watch it. I'm gonna turn Netflix in a week and a half or whatever
so
He's speaking of things that a the people
Don't like I had a really
popular tweet over the weekend about guns and gun control
God, I think that and Eddie we've said something to me when I when I was talking about control. I think that, and Eddie, we have said something to me
when I was talking about this,
that I think he made a really good point.
I said I wrote that,
you know, I've been using firearms for years
and I understand them,
but I think it's time for some gun control.
And Eddie said that he thinks it's time
to use a different term other than gun control.
I agree with that. I was like, I never thought about it that way, because I think people use a different term other than gun control. I agree with that.
I was like, I never thought about it that way,
because I think people have a knee jerk reaction to it,
and they think gun control means taking everyone's guns away,
you know, with no question.
And whereas, you know, I'm open to,
let's meet in the middle, right?
Like it goes back to what you're talking about,
Star Wars in the extremes.
You're only hearing from people who are either fiercely pro-having whatever you want or
people who want to outlaw it altogether.
There's got to be way more people in the middle, just like with Star Wars.
Probably 95% of people sit in the middle.
Why can't those 95% of people sit down and figure this stuff out?
Why do we let these really loud, extreme, of people dictate, you know, what we can
and can't do in this country.
It's absolutely ridiculous.
And then last night on the last week tonight, John Oliver had this really long piece, the
folks of the episode last night was about NRA TV.
And I know how there's that whole thing about boycott, Amazon, Apple and Roku, because
they carry NRA TV on the streaming
platform.
And it was really, I'd never watched NRA TV.
And they showed some of the type of programming
that's on there.
And it's really crazy.
And they don't release numbers.
They don't have to, right?
It's not broadcast.
You have no idea how many people are watching that.
But it's really unique program.
It's got a very fear mongering Or a to a lot of it and a very
Fear mongering. I guess they're just playing to their base a plane to that extreme trying to drum up this fear that you need all these weapons or that
The world is evil and only you can stop them with firearms
That's that's not that's not the case see the crazy crazy photos from last week of the people who were church having
Yeah, the religious ceremony with
the moonies. I read somewhere.
Someone said it was the moonies.
They were doing that.
They were doing that.
And that's what was like the moonies are still around.
The moonies are,
are you Christians, right?
It's a sun. It's the dude that started that's church.
It's a sun, I believe.
I'm a moonies.
I always find it interesting.
I never did a unification church.
But who's the sun young moon?
Yeah. Was first used in 1974 by the American media. I always find it interesting. I never did. Unification church. But who's the sun-young moon?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Was first used in 1974 by the American media.
Church members have been, have used the word mooney, including moonshell, present in
unification.
To catch our listeners up, there was a big news thing, I'm sure everybody saw it.
Whereas a bunch of people were like having some sort of weird like service where they brought
their AR 15s specifically and crowns.
Yeah.
And they had like bullet crowns and shit like that.
And they're doing some, it was like it was a renewal of your, your wedding rights, wasn't
it?
Or some shit like that?
Yeah.
I just tell these photos, it's just like, I don't know.
It's just, it's, it's, it's, it's extreme.
It's like hard to believe that some of my friends on the right
are in that group with those people.
They're not.
They're not.
We don't realize there's so many people that are in the middle.
That's what I'm saying.
And that's kind of the point I tried to make,
in my two years, I've owned guns for many years.
I consider myself a responsible gun.
There's enough of us in the middle.
We can make a change ourselves if we don't
count how to be extreme ends. Is the majority in the middle? we can make a change ourselves if we don't cow-tow to the extreme ends.
Is the majority in the middle?
I think so.
I think so.
What the NRA says they have 5 million members, which is a
difficult number to back up.
But there's 300 million people in the US.
Yeah.
But playing in the middle just seems very weak.
It seems like you have no position.
Because you're just on the fence.
Yeah.
It's like, I was reading about what it takes to get a gun in
Japan, and it was fascinating.
The procedure to go through it.
I think you have to take a written exam about the gun.
Then you do a shooting test,
and you have to score above 90%.
Then you go through like a criminal background check,
and then you go through a mental health check.
It says all these stages to it.
And at that point, you can buy a shotgun or an air rifle.
So all of that just to get to the point where you can get a shotgun
basically for hunting.
And then in Australia, I think they have a similar thing where
it's a pretty strenuous process and you have to explain why you need this weapon
and then you have to put it in a locker and then they examine and they check in on that locker
or whatever. And then in the Conversely, there was a,
I think it was a British journalist.
He was trying to prove a point.
He flew to America, he flew into Kansas or something
to see how quickly he could get a gun as a tourist
as a non-citizen.
And I think from when he landed to having the gun in his hand
was like 45 minutes.
And then I think the guy who sold him the gun
was arrested and then the gun was arrested
and then the journalist was told not to come back
to the US for three years.
Wow, holy cow.
That was suck.
And journalists comes here and gets a due to arrested.
I mean, he should have done his job correctly,
but still it's just like, you know,
the guy wants a story and this dude's going to fucking jail
because he made a mistake or I don't know if he did
deliberately or not.
But yeah, and then you go to a country like Switzerland,
which you normally associate as being pretty pacifist
and our friend, Stefan,
had to go through a lengthy procedure
to not be required to keep a rifle in his house.
He had to go through and prove that he was a pacifist.
Right, they had like mandatory military service.
And then when you're done with your military service,
they give you a rifle to take home.
In case they need to call you up as like a militia.
It's Switzerland.
And then he said it was a really long process to go through, to fill out paperwork, save
as a pacifist to be able to return the firearm to the government.
And I think there are rules when you have that gun at home, you still had to keep it locked
away with the ammo somewhere else locked away.
It was a whole, it was a whole, it was a whole, it was a whole, it almost looks like
you're one of those parade rifles.
Like it's not, it's almost like the modern equivalent
of a musket, it's not something he said,
you like, you would go into a liquor store with and rob,
it would just be ridiculous if you tried to do that.
I've got a buddy who owns some guns and stuff like that.
And he's actually, I think like probably left leaning
or whatever, I don't know what his political beliefs are,
but he invites me out to go shooting,
and then I'm always kind of like on the fence about it.
And like, I don't know, like I'm always preaching about like kind of not a big fan of guns, but he's offering to do it shooting, and then I'm always kind of like on the fence about it. I'm like, I don't know.
I'm always preaching about not a big fan of guns,
but he's offering to do it, and he's like a cool dude.
What?
You should go.
I mean, I think you should learn.
I think that's one of the big things.
I've been before, but you're saying
you're like shit kept happening every fucking month.
So.
I think you should go, and you should learn.
Yeah.
Just to see what the differences are, what the difference. Make me a hypocrite.
Weapons are.
I don't think so.
I don't think so.
I mean, I own guns.
You know, I see me own guns.
I was a little bit like this.
I consider myself to be more left leaning.
But I was raised that way, and I work in creative field.
And I should tend to lean more left on a lot of issues. So the left tends to focus more on the first amendment, which is freedom of speech,
freedom of religion, but mostly freedom of speech.
I mean, freedom of speech is always brought up in the US to fight things like censorship.
And so I'm a huge proponent of the first amendment that people should be able to say what
they want, you know, and voice or opinion and whatever they want.
They want speeches included in that.
It is.
And that's, to me, it's like that's kind of what you have to deal with.
You have to deal with hate speech
if you get to give everybody an even voice.
At the same time, I do recognize that when the founding fathers
were creating freedom of speech,
they couldn't envision the internet
and global networks of computers
that can just create stories and put them out there
and that the machine language and machine learning
can create these stories that nobody can tell
the difference of what's real and what's not.
But if you boil that down,
that some person running those computers
that has freedom of speech that they've amplified,
even if you want to take a simple example,
like spam email, I don't think a guy she built
a send out 800 million emails for no money at all,
for like 10 cents.
I just think that's a burden on everybody.
So in some cases, in this case in particular,
I would support limiting free speech in that way
to take care of some of these things
that the founding fathers couldn't have seen.
When I always come back to you though,
again, we won't believe at this point too much hopefully,
but when you talk about with Japan
and what do you have to go through to get it, I always come back to you in the US, I come back to, when you're talking about with Japan and what you have to go through to get it,
I always come back to the US,
I come back to always to hand grenades.
Everybody knows what a hand grenade is.
I feel like everybody, I've never used a hand grenade.
Have you used one?
No, I feel like I could use
and most American average citizens
could use a hand grenade with no training whatsoever.
And probably use it fairly effectively.
Probably can out and love it, right?
Well, there's a safety clip.
I looked it up, there's a safety clip and then you pull it out,
but I'm pretty sure you can figure out that safety clip.
But the panel is doing is holding the little handle down, right?
Right.
Now it is, yeah, but that's the fuse is.
Right.
But that's when you throw it.
Yeah.
And then the handle pops off.
And it's, it's, we never hear about hand grenade attacks.
We just don't hear about them.
Like even in schools, you don't hear
about somebody lobbing hand grenades into buildings.
You might hear about improvise like homemade explosives though.
Don't let me explain it.
They have to go out and build them.
But the reason why they have to do that is hand grenades
are not available for purchase.
You have to have a class three firearms license
and a special certification in order to buy hand grenades.
And I can't help but think that, hey, where's the black market for hand grenades?
Where's all the outlaws with hand grenades?
Everybody knows what these are.
They're very effective.
You never hear about a guy walking into a liquor store with a hand grenade because he
got it on this very easily accessible black market where only outlaws now have hand grenades.
And I can't help but think also, if hand grenades were made completely legal
like shotguns and air 15s tomorrow
and they sold them at sporting goods stores in Walmart,
do you think you would hear about less hand grenade attacks
because everyone has hand grenades
which would deter people from having hand grenades?
Or do you think we'd have a sudden, amazing spike
in hand grenades attacks?
I think the counter argument, I'll take up
an opposing point with you here
just for the sake of argument. Yeah. I think the counter argument, I'll take up an opposing point with you here, just for
the sake of argument.
I think the counter argument is you don't hear about that because guns are readily accessible
enough that there's no need to resort to using a hand grenade when you can use a gun just
as effectively for the same.
But a big gun has such a wide range of what you can, like, so whenever, but you do hear
about people making bombs because they wouldn't even hear about that because they just go out
and buy the things.
But buying what you need to make a bomb
is a step in which you can be discovered and stopped.
True.
Whereas if you can buy a six pack of hand grenades
with a 15 minute background check or whatever,
it's normal and they're fucking everywhere.
So you don't need to make a pipe bomb
or a fertilizer bomb or something.
Whenever a mass shooting happens,
and people will just get rid of guns,
you won't get mass shootings.
The next argument is, well, then someone will just use something else.
Like, they point to Europe where it's always like a van will plow through a crowd of people.
Yeah, but there's a limit to what you can do with a van.
I mean, you can't...
That's it for a van. You can't have a standoff. You can't hold someone at van point.
There's no, there's no like, you can't keep people there with a van.
It's like, a gun is so much more than any other weapon just from how quickly you can turn a situation around with one.
Even knife, you can like, if you got a room full of people with a knife,
you're not going to be able to kill everyone.
I agree with that. It's like, I think when you say like you want to approach this,
you know, intelligently and you want to try to decrease easy access to firearms,
you're not saying you're going to stop every potential,
crazy person from committing every crime or all these crimes and all these acts.
You're just trying to make it harder and reduce the number.
Yeah.
And I think it's like it less convenient.
Right.
It's like, I think that's a sensible way to look at it.
And I think a lot of people have been in, it's an endorsement of it that we allow.
Because people can have these devices, you devices, that can kill a large number of people,
that it seems like an endorsement,
if we continue to allow these to be,
like it looks like this feeling that we don't care,
that lots of people are being killed by it.
It's a hot one to talk about,
especially for me as a foreigner,
just because I wasn't raised with the same mindset
as Americans, but now, like living it for so long,
I see it, I can see why Americans don't ever
want to give up with the guns,
because everyone's raised with it.
Yeah, something like me being raised without the queen.
Some people came after me actually with my tweet because I said that I fired my first
fire when I was five and I got my first one as a gift for my ninth birthday and people
were like, well, there's the problem.
You know, why the fuck are you giving a weapon that can kill to a nine-year-old?
It's a part of society.
Right, it's like, well, my father was in law enforcement.
There's a lot more. I can't explain it all in a tweet. It's like, there was a society. Right, it's like, well, my father was in law enforcement. Like, there's a lot more.
I can't explain it all in a tweet.
It's like, there was a reason, you know,
but they're, like I said, my father was in law enforcement.
They were already guns in the house.
Yeah. They wanted me to not be curious about them
and try to play with them in secret without them knowing.
And your situation, to most Europeans,
probably sounds like, man, that's a crazy problem.
It was mainly Europeans who came after me.
As an American, totally normal experience.
Right, and then I bought my kids a BB gun
when they were really young.
Man, I didn't think anything about that.
When you were growing up,
do kids have pellet guns and BB guns?
Yeah, BB guns.
Yeah.
I mean, it's just a normal progression of that.
It's the American mindset.
You got to shooting with a friend, it's fun.
You want to protect your family, right?
That's like the reason people have them. You want to protect your family, right? That's like the reason people have them.
You want to protect your family,
you'll potentially fight the government if they turn.
Right, that's the spirit of the Second Amendment.
Which is crazy now,
because one of the arguments that we're making,
it just goes to show,
it's like we're losing sight of everything.
One of the arguments that keeps being made now is,
hey, we should arm teachers, which is fucking crazy.
I read a great tweet about that,
which is like we should absolutely give every teacher a gun
that way they can sell it and make up for the pay
that we're not giving them.
But arming teachers and then also,
or having law enforcement of some kind
or station people who are armed in schools.
It's like literally we're gonna use the second amendment
to justify arming government officials and employees
and putting them in our schools
and our communities.
That's literally the opposite of what the second amendment is all about.
It's literally the opposite.
But now it's like, it's not about that anymore.
Now it's just about don't take my guns.
How is that the easier sound by?
How is that going to help?
Like, at the most recent shooting, the one in Florida, not even the most recent shooting,
the most recent big shooting in Florida, There was a deputy with a gun there.
I don't like talking about that guy.
I don't like man.
Right.
And that's the counter argument.
It's the good guy with a gun is going to stop it.
It didn't happen.
Well, yeah, I mean, this guy was a parent.
I mean, I don't know.
I wasn't there, but everything I read where he was there with a gun, like he was at the
school.
Here's the shots and he didn't go into the building for something like four minutes or something like that.
Yeah, he wouldn't go in.
Cool him back up or something.
Yeah, and then immediately from one airshade resigned.
Yeah.
Right afterwards.
Like, I resigned.
I'm out.
It's like, it's just, it's terrible situation.
I had someone with kids,
would you feel safe sending them to a school
where that's each had a gun?
Oh gosh, man.
Any question?
I mean, I can't, I know I guess not,
but then I also live under the illusion,
it's probably an illusion that no one in that school
has a fucking gun, which weren't Texas.
There's probably like a bunch of the seniors
have guns in the cars in the parking lot.
Even though the signs are left of the school,
like every school has no gun sign, right?
That's the means.
Yeah, I mean, sure.
Well, my parents are both teachers, I don't want to drag them in
because I don't want to speak for them because we have different views and stuff.
But I do know that as teachers, they couldn't bring themselves to shoot it.
Fucking student, man. I'd be done with their lives to teaching these kids.
Maybe my parents are teachers too. Now you say that, yeah, it'd be hard to imagine
my parents. I mean, it was always, but yeah, it's weird. It's a really steep piece.
People's not the high-stress situations.
I must say, one dude that actually
barricaded himself in, I heard of, like, I don't know,
that sound like a weird situation as well.
The teacher that, yeah, no matter what.
Anyway, other, yeah.
Long story short, there's plenty of us in the middle.
We should be able to figure this out.
And I think a large part of it is just education, blame, learning about guns, and becoming more
comfortable with them, that way we can talk and everyone can be on the same page. We don't
have these misunderstandings about what it is that we're talking about.
It's Alex Leonard. He's the guy with the guns and he's a former military officer.
You should absolutely go with him. Yeah. I also really love Alex. He's the guy with the guns and he's a former military. He should absolutely go with him. Yeah, I also really love Alex.
He's a very delightful person.
Yeah, he's, we have a bunch of people at the company
that look like Rainbow Six operators.
Alex Slender looks like Blackbeard, Aaron Wynn looks like Ella.
And then I'm naming off people that nobody knows.
And then, oh, fucking, who do you look like?
Issa looks like Dogeby, like spot on like Dogeby. Who do I look like? Issa looks like, uh, Doga B, like spot on like Doga B.
Who do I look like?
Doga, I don't know who Doga B is.
Doga B is the new South Korean operator.
Oh, she's new.
Yeah.
She's got glasses like when they launched,
they're like announcing all the operators.
It was like holy shit.
I feel compelled to point out, uh, an update from Twitter.
Mm-hmm.
At Swiss mom, 88873 says,
Switzerland no longer requires her soldiers to keep the gun at home. It is voluntary now. an update from Twitter at Swiss mom 8873 says switcher,
switcher, and no longer requires her soldiers to keep the gun at home.
It is voluntary now. I am Swiss and my brother in law still lives there.
Thank you. Oh, cool. Thank you for the.
Thank you. Swiss mom.
They don't know that. And that should be fair.
That story was to fond was probably 10 years old at this point.
So longer than 12 or 13. Yeah. So she's a Swiss mom.
It's you could probably assume she's not a Swiss miss.
Your face that joke definitely Swiss miss.
So I'm the age that you are when you started the red vise blue.
Yeah, yeah, that's crazy.
29.
Yep.
I mean, it was 2003.
I started working.
It's crossed over my birthday.
So I started working out in 2002 in September. I started working on the trailer over my birthday. So I started working on it in 2002 in September.
I started working on the trailer and it's like
concepting it out, but then we started April 1st.
Yeah, April 1st, 2003, and I was 30 then.
I was 30, I think 29, but I was 31,
where she started.
I was going through, I think I mentioned this
on our previous podcast, I was going through
a bunch of old photos and I handed them over
to the documentary crew.
And I had a lot of photos from like early on, like the early, the spare bedroom, the
beauty office and stuff.
And there's just a point where I didn't have them anymore.
And the doc crew came back to me and said, hey, we're really missing photos from this
time frame.
Do you have anything?
I was like, why don't I have any photos from there?
And I realized that's the time I got an iPhone.
It was like, oh, all my photos are on my phone in my eye cloud now.
And I looked and I was like, oh, I do have photos from that. I just never think to scroll back that far. It's like, yeah, all my photos are on my phone in my eye cloud now. And I looked and I was like, oh, I do have photos from that.
I just never think to scroll back that far.
Yeah.
It's like, yeah, there's plenty of photos.
So it's like, I got them like another five and a half gigs of photos and videos.
It's weird that because there was a shift from where people stop carrying cameras as much
and then they switched to phones.
But the phone cameras were so shit back then that it's like, yeah, photos are really good
quality.
And then they just go,
they take a thought.
And I had digital cameras too, in the late 90s.
You know, when you had a film cameras
and then digital cameras came out,
but they were like a half a megapixel.
Yeah.
So, all the pictures for like four, four years look like shit.
Yeah, and then they got better, then they got shitty again.
The stuff on Netflix, like you can watch an episode of the Twilight Zone.
It looks, it's black and white.
It looks phenomenally crisp though,
because they just reskandal the film.
But then whenever they switched to video, it's like, this shit's black and white. It looks phenomenally crisp, though, because they just reskandal the film. But then whenever they switched to video,
it's like, this shit's cheap.
Yeah.
You can't remaster that.
No, it's awful.
I had to delete so many old photos
before I sent them to the doc whoops.
It was like, oh, that's blurry.
That's blurry. That's blurry.
Are you using some baritone?
That's blurry.
They're all terrible.
It's like in low light, the, you know,
early phone cameras couldn't do anything
with unless you had a huge light.
Are you concerned that there's gonna be
a huge chunk of your life that's missing
because you don't have like the physical media to show it like you may have lost
and I I an iPhone's worth of photos, which is like a year and a half.
Yeah, I lost my I lost 2008.
Really?
Yeah, that's not two thousand.
I just Sony like K something something else.
So we selfies Barbara.
I I'm not in the least bit worried about that
because I have, when my parents died,
I got our family photo albums.
And so basically from the time I was born
till about 13 or 14, maybe even later,
like all the way through high school,
there's like four or five books that have about 50 photos
each and that's it, like that's it.
Now I've got tens of thousands of photos and videos of my kids and the last 15 years
It's like I can lose I have more pictures of my cat than I have of myself between the ages of like 0 and 15
You saw that wall of like all of your family members and stuff like that. Yeah, I'm like all my friends
I my photo wall. I didn't put that in the final vlog, but it's there. Yeah, I moved it
It's like right outside my bedroom,
it's in my little writing milk that I have.
That's cool.
Do you have a jerk off to it?
What the photo wall?
Wrong to you.
If you had to, okay, a million dollars.
But every day, you have to stare at a different picture
and jerk off every morning.
I do that every day, I do it already.
I mean, I think you mean it's on your photo wall.
Yeah, oh my photo wall.
Yeah, you have to like start at the top left.
For a million dollars?
Okay, what do I care?
Could you actually work up a good job, good go?
Off some of those folks.
I got a million bucks.
Absolutely, I can't have to joke off the blame.
That means I'm on your wall?
No.
Oh yeah, he is somewhere.
Seattle's got the gum wall.
He's gonna have the gum wall.
Yeah, there we go.
I got a million bucks.
I got a million bucks.
Who would do this?
Who would do this?
Family and bucks.
I would do it for 5400 a month.
Yeah, bet.
I bet you would.
Does anybody have a,
this is a weird question.
Come on.
No, no, no, does anybody have an ex-girlfriend box?
What box in which you store things from past relationships?
I got that for the IRS.
I got like, I could show you, I have W2s going back to like 97.
I think they can only pull up,
they can only request like seven years ago.
I think I'm about to like just start trading
some of it.
I keep records on everything.
I just keep them for fucking ever.
I have filing cabinets.
I don't know anybody else who has filing cabinets
at their house.
Why don't you just PDF it? Because that's a, that have filing cabinets. I don't know anybody else who has filing cabinets at their house. Why don't you just PDF it
Because that's a fun that's an effort. So Gus was talking about
the doc that we're working on. Mm-hmm
So I was a person who had those cameras and I could remember there was a sanio camera I got that was my first
Camera that recorded the digital media everything was tapes before like the Sony VX 1000 that classic mini DV camera
But then I had a format that only Sony had of course
Oh, and it's this is a format called micro MV and it's this tiny little tape tiny
And it was this little handheld thing. It was fucking amazing and say the art
But the camera stopped working years ago. It's like 2004. I had this thing
So went on eBay and I found one new in the box for three hundred bucks but the camera stopped working years ago. It's like 2004 I had this thing.
So it went on eBay and I found one new in the box
for 300 bucks and I was like, oh shit, I'll buy this
and I'll have access to all these tapes
that I can't view any other way.
Got it on eBay, 300 bucks.
I get it in, I charge it.
That looks like mini DVD.
That's mini DV, yeah, that's mini DV.
Till by the case, but I got this mini MV player in and then I remember how it works.
Like you hit the button, the thing goes, kunk opens and it goes, and opens up and then
you put the tape in that and it goes, it lowers down and it has a stupid label on it.
Like don't push this.
Of course, this camera by the time I get out of the box is 15 years old, it literally
goes, bump, opens up and then he goes, ee-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e- You have to remove all that shit and then just put your tape in manually. Pretty pretty new gear. Or they have like DIT stations that you like like VCRs for those things, right?
Now this this format is so specific.
I did find a place online where I could just ship my micro MB tapes.
Oh, and they'll ship it back to me.
Yeah, I'm not going to do that.
You should ship in the originals and also there could be anything on that.
I know, right?
It's like, yeah.
We, I'm running into Matt because he's the one that was running at Matt Hames as one of the dudes that were
center documentaries and stuff. And he, when we were doing the documentary with me and Barbara
doing connected, I found out that the lady that was doing DIT, which is the person that digital
image technician. Yeah, they like digest all of the video and audio and then they organized it for
the editors and stuff. It was a girl that I had actually seen during college, like it was like somebody I
dated. And after finding that out, they gave us handi-cams that we would record ourselves
with. And I, um, I set down the camera and I ate pizza for an hour, knowing that she
was going to have to watch the entire thing.
Why?
You like an F Utah?
Hi, because it didn't end well in college.
Man.
I'm curious now. I didn't even know. I didn't even know. I didn't even know. I didn't even know. I didn't even know. I didn't even know.
I didn't even know.
I didn't even know.
I didn't even know.
I didn't even know.
I didn't even know.
I didn't even know.
I didn't even know.
I didn't even know.
I didn't even know.
I didn't even know.
I didn't even know.
I didn't even know.
I didn't even know.
I didn't even know.
I didn't even know.
I didn't even know.
I didn't even know.
I didn't even know.
I didn't even know. I didn't even know. I didn't even know. I didn't even know. I didn't even know. and then there's just like, hair. A little knick knacks, you know, like, not hair, fuck. Like photo books.
I had a couple of girlfriends make me old, like,
photo books, like that kind of stuff.
Just like pictures.
You have a mixtape?
Yeah, I do.
I have like three mixtapes in there from an old,
old old girlfriend.
Nice.
So, yeah.
I don't have anything.
I don't have anything you know.
I don't have anything.
You just, did you, do you throw that away
or is it, do you just never have any
different relationships?
Never had it a relationship this long.
You surely have had a photo booth photo with an ex girlfriend.
What happened to it?
You know what Gavin has?
Which one of them started to say, you know what?
Gavin just has that on Facebook.
Like, did you delete photos of you with your exes on Facebook?
Nah.
Yeah.
That's like a normal thing now.
Like, I can go to actually Facebook page and go back and see,
like horrible, why is that stuff? That's so bad and I wish that Like I'm gonna actually Facebook page and go back and see
like horrible, whatever, and stuff.
That's so bad.
And I wish that there was like some sort of backup for that
because I purged all my fat photos.
So like I remember going through when I was losing weight.
And there was only a way to backup pictures.
Yeah, that makes it.
When are we gonna figure that out?
No, I'm saying like there's like an emotional thing.
If only they hadn't stopped making apps,
Gus, they could have that.
The Grotto Vactic client in 2018.
The app crash. It was in when you went it't happen of passion that I deleted all these photos now
I was like well fuck my mind is completely changed about that subject. I wish I deleted all this
Well, why did what you do? I mean I'll just shove on a drive
You didn't take them with your computer on Facebook. They're the existing another format. You uploaded these things
Yeah, they're right they deleted them off my social because I was embarrassed by that
But you were the original where the original deleted because I was so embarrassed So you deleted them twice. Yes, I was embarrassed by that. Yeah, but where are the original? Where are the originals? Deleted because I was so embarrassed.
Please delete them twice.
Twice. Yes.
That's on you dude.
That point.
It's unfortunate.
Here's your solution.
Get fat again.
Okay.
Take some photos.
Okay.
Get it yourself.
Just put it, set up a camera, eat pizza for like a week.
I told you to gain 20 pounds.
Do you want to say what you're way?
Is that something you're thinking with you?
No, no, no.
I think I'm playing 171.75.
Are you really? Wow. So if I tell you you need to weigh, no, no, I think I'm playing 171.75.
Are you really?
So if I tell you, you do weigh 200 pounds.
Okay.
Could you do that?
Are you keeping yourself and check all the time?
Well, I would go at that with, I would do mass exercises,
but I'd also like, like shit.
Like I would do like a combination.
That way, once it's done, then I could have been like,
I'm bulking and then I come back, Jack.
I just want to throw this out.
We're never.
I'm the same weight as Blaine.
Oh, you are?
175.
You stand side by side.
It's like I'm a perfect human, perfect human specimen
right here.
Did you hear about the guy who is,
you say they call you a perfect human specimen?
Oh, thanks.
See, that was such a nice compliment.
I appreciate you.
It's the guy who eats big Macs every day.
Oh yeah.
About to hit is like 30,000th big Macs.
Really?
How much is that?
How much are big Macs?
How much money? Three bucks. Yeah, 399. No, I'm at that. How much is that? How much are big Macs? How much money?
Three bucks.
Yeah, 399.
No, I'm on that.
How many?
I don't think so.
30,000.
Well, 50, I think.
How much is a big Mac?
I'm looking at it.
With tax.
How many big Macs do you need?
Don't do that with tax bullshit.
What's it on the menu?
Why do white tax in the price?
Why is it on the menu?
Why is it nowhere in the price
with the tax on the menu?
No, it's tax deductibles.
It's different in different states.
And it's not a fair conversation.
Give it.
What? Go ahead. Just print a bunch of taxes prices. Because it's different in different states. And it's not a fair conversation. Give it. What?
Go ahead.
Just print a bunch of taxes prices.
I'm putting them in every text.
But it's potentially also different by county.
Oh, Christ.
But you know what, you know what, price?
I pay when I buy a big Mac and England.
The price that it says on the board.
Listen, because dude, in the price.
I agree with you, but that's not gonna change
the fact that the system's broken right now.
Yeah, look, I't know how much spending.
That's it.
Our system is superior.
It's like, it's just gonna be like 29 bucks
and I've got three tens.
I know, I can't afford it.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
Now you know, what's the price?
Is the point and the price is on stuff.
I agree with you.
Hey, look up what county he lives in
and you can find out what we're doing all this shit.
You can find out how much the tax is
depending on what city lives in.
Big Macs must cost different places
because it's not on their website.
Well, how much is in Texas?
This gotta be easy to figure out.
It's gotta be more than four.
How much do you sell?
I would bet three bucks.
Three bucks?
You saw what just the sandwich.
Okay.
And he ate how many?
I'm guessing.
How many do you eat?
I think he's over like 28,000 or something.
He's gonna...
I probably said Big Mac with 357 the United States
I said 399 you called me an asshole
By the way 357 not a price. What's that with tax?
That's probably with tax is that that might be with tax? Yeah, because the 357 now. Why would they calculate tax? They can't calculate tax
What are they say 357 wait? It was of a Big Mac was 229 pounds in the United Kingdom
2 pounds 29 According to fast food menu prices calm a big Mac is 399. That's where a meal
What is the most a meal with the with the fries? This can't be right. It's a steel
Anyway, he bought every big Mac McDonald's doesn't give him anything special
But he's not he apparently buys the whole week's worth the big max upfront and just microwaves to him.
Oh, which sounds gross.
Yeah, because he's got vegetables in there that are so fast.
He's not overly fat apparently.
There's the guy in SuperSize me that they talk about
who like eat a big mac every day.
And it might be that dude, it might be the guy.
Yeah, I mean, it's no dollar loaf of bread or anything.
Do you know about?
Dollar loaf of bread is a fucking steal.
Like, you guys made fun of me for that.
Dollar loaf of bread? A loaf of bread is a fucking steal. Like, you guys made fun of me for that. Dollar life of bread?
A loaf of bread, a French bread for $1.00.
Where do you get it for a buck?
Really?
I don't know, like a baguette?
No, no, it's like a little thick French...
Like a fat...
Like a blooma?
Several old baguettes.
Which is worth $1.00.
Yeah, that's tough, because then you get in that center
and you start pulling out, like, that's all pure gloomy.
Oh, yeah.
So good.
Yeah, so good. Kinda wants to super it now.
I made Japanese pancakes for the kids.
I was gonna try to make them for the pancake podcast,
but we had the robot, so we went with that.
I can't do those Japanese pancakes, I'm not good at it.
Kids liked them, but I just couldn't get them, like,
maybe we can get more trip to Japan,
just to get the ins and outs and then we'll come back.
I would love a JD would go live in Japan.
It sounds like get the fuck out of here kid,
but I really think he had such a good time in Japan.
I think he really likes the culture there.
You should've lived in Japan.
I thought, yeah, I could do that.
I think I could do that.
Oh, you'd love it.
It's all orally and yeah.
The problem is I'm big, I stand out.
It's a lot of pictures of you.
I'm the wrong size for everything.
Like shower heads are too low.
It's just, it's weird being too big.
They're right in house.
Even when you're in public, like doors are a little weird and like it's just, it's weird being too big. They don't even know when you're in public.
Like doors are a little weird and like everything's just
a little too small.
I'm gonna ask your opinion something,
and you as Volgaev and I already asked us.
Just ask the question, Blake.
Let's go set it up.
But okay.
I never answer your personal question.
They did.
About the expiration date?
No, yeah, you had a really full, yeah.
Okay, that's a nice answer.
I am traveling to Japan and then I have some travel afterwards.
One of my options to come back is through Moscow.
Do you think I should take that?
Hell yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, to put it in Russia.
What is for what?
I'm going to be in Japan for vacation then like I got to go to some other stuff and one
of the possible routes to get back is through Moscow.
And it doesn't change the price.
It's actually cheaper.
Like, fuck an egg, go to Moscow.
That's what I told him.
No, no, I'm going to, but I was just kind of the safety of that.
Well, I mean, it's gonna be, I'm doing this in like August,
by then we might be awarded or something.
So do you think that's getting a little weird?
Yeah, like tensions are getting high.
Do you think that's a good idea?
If they go to war, just get a refund.
You could probably get a war refund.
Yeah.
The USSR fucking collapse.
Like had a full on economic collapse in the late 80s, right?
It broke under 90?
Yeah, they broke apart.
Now that's a lot of the problem.
All these separate countries, Russia was the big one,
obviously, is now separate.
The whole thing, and it was for years, we talked about just like the crazy, okay, how the
fuck did they build such an incredible cyber crimes division that apparently is way better
than what we have?
It's cheap.
You just need to buy computers.
You doesn't even need to be a powerful computer.
So we should have that.
We should have that.
Yeah.
The problem is, I think here, if you do that kind of stuff, you do like private sector.
The government doesn't actively, like if you're good at that,
you don't work for the government.
If I play PUBG, do you think there's a government building
somewhere just mining Bitcoin?
Like you have a room in the fence again,
there's just churn and out Bitcoin.
There was something where there was an app
that you installed and the developer just added
in a Bitcoin mining team.
Some websites were doing that.
Was that what you called?
Cloudmine from your phone?
From your web browser.
But they were telling you,
it was for their benefit not for yours.
So you were just spending your processing power
or GPU power.
Yeah.
Unknowingly.
Yeah.
That was to train the battery on devices.
Yeah, apparently.
I mean, there's a lot of theories
about the sustainability of Bitcoin
just based on the power consumption of it.
Well, Trevor and Michael were bitching about the sustainability of Bitcoin just based on the power consumption of it. Well Trevor and Michael Abitchin
about the price of a 1080 Ti right now,
it's like inflated by like 700 bucks.
Yeah, graphics card.
Yeah, the graphics cards are crazy expensive right now.
You can't buy them anymore.
Like a $900 card is like 1,600 bucks or something.
Really?
Yeah.
Because it was buying them.
It's all the Bitcoin miners buy them.
I didn't know this.
Yeah.
But it's fascinating. Yeah, that's like a huge problem right now
I think in video has been trying to encourage retailers to stop but to stop selling
Products to people who are mining and to try to
If I guess if you're buying a bunch or if you're like trying to buy like a palette of video cards, mm-hmm. It's like
That math thing that was pseudo-federing that they make the method of same thing. You have to have a license now to buy a video card.
That's crazy.
I didn't know that.
So they used the GPU.
What they should do is now to buy a graphics card.
You take a written exam,
and then you score above a certain amount of video.
You gotta keep your computer locked in one box.
Your video card locked in another one.
Although then only the outlaws will have ultra-high quality settings.
What? What? Only outlaws will be running 2160 p.
We'll be stuck at 1440 budget jumps.
What's your resolution that you run right now?
4k.
What is that?
Like my new resolution?
What's that?
2160?
So I run 3, 3440 by 1440.
So the wide aspect ratio, which I don't care about the resolution, but I got the super wide was so like pub G is like I got like up you can see the cheaters coming from all directions
Dude I saw
It was Naomi Kyle had this crazy some some on it. There's you know wider ones now
It's like it wraps around her head. Yeah, that was an exaggeration, but it's a wicked wide monitor
I don't know the resolution of it. Yeah, there's these new super like someone was telling me, I think it was
hex who was on the podcast a few weeks ago.
Her and Peter were in town and they were talking about, they saw our
monitors ago, you should get those really wide ones.
These are the really wide ones.
No, there's ones that are now like crazy wide.
I was like, oh my gosh, I couldn't get that.
Get two of them and just wrap all the wrap.
Yeah, like a big circle.
I know what you're looking at 360 degrees.
I played Don't Starve with the kids this weekend.
It had a setting that I've never seen
in the options of a video game ever.
It had a setting for if you play the game on two monitors.
Well, check box.
How what advantage would I guess it will just spread the game
out over two monitors, but like where's your cross here?
If it's not in the middle, you never played Don't Starve. It It's not like well. No, he's right. This character stays kind of like the bad guys
Well, the character does stay in the center. So is it just like moves the HUD into convenient places?
Now I want to hook up a second monitor find out. I don't know. I don't know shit
Inventory and like other stuff. Yeah, that's gonna be Kyle and have flip in amazing Mona. That's pretty cool
You would need that desk.
That's like the only desk you have.
What is that overwatch?
Where'd she play?
Looks like over.
What was it doing?
I think it's overwatch.
I would know, I don't ever play it.
That's a fucking nice monitor play overwatch on there.
Yeah, I was jealous of that.
That's pretty dope.
And then I feel inadequate now.
I've just got one like 4K monitor.
That monitor wouldn't fit on my desk.
Yeah, that monitor would not fit on my desk.
Am I already have like the biggest monitor I can have? Yeah. And it's like, it's like 4K monitor. That monitor wouldn't fit on my desk. Yeah, that monitor wouldn't fit on my desk. Am I already have like the biggest monitor I can have?
Yeah.
And it's like, it's like even another inch.
Am I crazy for like, I just bought a small monitor
a because I'm poor, but B because I feel like,
if I get a huge monitor, it doesn't help me with games.
Like I feel like I'm more focused and attentive on this.
I'm like that's thing.
They feel good in my office.
I have an Xbox and the monitor's like this big.
Right.
I like, I just don't know about that I like.
When I'm playing PUBG, I like the increased resolution
because then you see like little things.
Like you can pick out someone like in the grass a lot better.
There's little fun running.
I have a 30 inch 4K monitor, just normal 60 by 9.
But I have it pulled right up to the point my keyboard
can only just fit and I'm right up against it.
And it's great because you can really look into your crosshairs.
Here is the eye sizzling the irises going. Yeah.
You're a nice, like, a nice sear on them. Yeah, when in doubt, just bring it all up to your face.
So my, uh, this is what she said. My hoodie came through today and I hoodie came my white hoodie. What a great birthday gift for me.
And he tried to send me a bunch more stuff too.
And I was like, hey, no, that's fine.
You should be like, hey, he might be threatening you
to send you, because now he wants to send plum squad,
like these things.
Plum squad?
Yeah.
What?
What's plum squad?
It's our podcast, let's play PUBG group.
Right, I've, it's what I have.
I have noticed that.
I've noticed that I'm on the podcast as well. You're always making your other less plays.
But I'm not in Plumplem.
It's all him.
I don't get his criteria for.
I don't want to take you away from the other less plays
you're doing.
Why don't you leave that to be my decision, Gus?
I don't know.
When's our next Plum Squad?
I don't want anyone in that room resending me.
Like, oh, that fucker over there's making his own videos
and he's taking our people away.
I don't tell them where I would just be like I'm leaving and then I walk out the door
All right, I just don't want to create me be the plum squad if I'm gonna create bad blood. I would rather it be with you
I don't know as well does that make sense sure
Well, not happy right just a friend
Sure Not happy right just a friend. All right because you is best friend. I'm kidding God can people take a joke?
Fuck it. Hell well you're grown man. You don't have to have a best friend
I mean I always think it's a weird distinction. I'll be honest. I have I guess I would say
Well Ashley because we just talk about everything shit. What what she ever done
She uh and then I have kids like I'm I mean my kids are
I mean my god this isn't Miss America. Who's your best friend dude? What's that?
Blame and I'm saying
Like I'm saying from that can I ask you a personal question? Who's your best friend?
A lot of is I would say are as well my best friend
It's the person that I had to get along with, aside from that, that's the obvious answer.
It's not you, are you fishing for you?
No, no, we would have-
I would say, hold on, Matt, yeah, I've known Matt
for 25 years at this point,
and we work together every single day.
I would have said Joel.
Maybe Joel, possibly.
25 years, such a long time.
I, Gus is high up on the list.
Who's your best friend going?
I'd say, don't say, Meg, I already know.
I'd say Matt and Gus are right there.
Ooh, like this, we're like kissing. Yeah. I would say Jeff. I already know. I'd say Matt and Gus are right there. Ooh, like this.
We're like kissing.
Yeah.
I would say Jeff.
Gus.
What?
Who's your best friend?
I don't know.
That's such a weird question to me.
Who's your best friend, Blake?
I've never had a best friend.
I've never had one.
Maybe it's a weird thing, right?
Yeah, I have the best thing to think about it.
Maybe you're like ranking people you know.
Right, yeah.
Like, we go back to like the boyfriend girlfriend thing.
Like, it's like a little kid label or something.
Sessily.
Probably Drew, Drew Saplan.
He's the, he's, he directs.
Have you lived?
I like how you've to explain who he is.
I know, I see.
He's the worst or worst of teeth, but nobody knows.
I feel like it really works here.
You can only be best friends with someone you've lived with.
I would say.
What?
Would you say that that's not true?
Well, in that case, it's my mom, duh. What, you lived with that?
Yeah, but that was like, yeah, I mean,
but with 10 year olds have best friends, 30 year olds don't.
I mean, so 10 year olds aren't living with their best friend.
No, I don't mean living with now.
I mean, just to have lived with.
Okay, go back to the, okay, Gus, please help me out of this.
How did this?
What did I do?
How can a 10 year old have a best friend then?
I'm not talking about 10 years.
You're talking about best friends.
Yeah, I'm the greatest.
Humans now in this couch having this podcast live.
Okay, now you're adding the qualifiers.
That wasn't there before.
I would say I became best friends with Jeff
because I lived with him.
That makes sense.
I'm sure if any of us,
well Gus wouldn't be my best friend if we lived together.
And you wouldn't be my best friend if we lived together.
You would hate me.
Good Lord.
Couldn't begin to imagine it.
Could not.
Why?
I would feel I'd say you've got to be compatible enough with someone to the point where
you can live, you can share work, you share a home and not hate each other.
That's fair. I would say that doesn't apply to you and me. share a work, you share a home and not hate each other.
That's fair.
I would say that doesn't apply to you and me.
We would hate each other.
Yeah.
Well, you hate me.
I'd be fine.
We've had to stay in like hotels together in hotel rooms.
Like, it has been fine.
Well VidCon was the fucking worst.
That was the worst.
I wanted to choke you out and leave you for dead in the back.
I should just text me and say to shut up.
Why?
Because I was saying, what is she doing?
You have to be your best friend.
She is. Actually, she's my best friend.
Here's the way I think, if something happens, who do you call?
Sorry, actually. Go as well.
Nice.
Good job.
You got it on the floor. Can we end on that?
All right, let's wrap it up.
