This week brought to you by tripping pro flowers and dollar-shade clubs. Ripinger, are they a new sponsor? This is the second time we'll be doing a read for them. Was I previously on a tripping sponsored podcast? I don't remember. All right. Well, I'm excited. What do you have? I'm gus. I'm Gavin. And I'm David Eddings. Pleasure to be here. We didn't go over that. I'm Bernie birds. I'm going to be so free. I didn't say my last name, but it's free.

Do you feel the need to say your last name a lot since like David's a fairly common name? Yeah. Most people just call me eddings or eddings. Oftentimes I get David every now and then. I've never introduced myself as David, but yeah, because there's so many David's out there, eddings, but the problem is there's another David eddings out there too, which trips people up as well. That's my cousin.

He's a fantasy author. He's like the bellguard. He related the suit as well. Yeah. So who has the Twitter handle? That would be me. That would be me. That would be me. I get a lot of followers.

Does he have David Eddings too? Or like something else? He's dead. He passed away about seven years ago, maybe six, whatever, but no. So pre-Twitter. Also, he was, he was pretty much against computers. He wrote longhand and stuff like that.

So didn't ever squat a website or anything. Yeah. So he had to fight over the Myspace account or something like that. Yeah. He didn't even know a website or anything. Yeah. So you had to fight over the MySpace account or something like that. Yeah. You know, he didn't even know that MySpace existed. He was pretty, uh, pretty out of it by then. Mm-hmm.

He was about 40 years old to me when he passed away. What was crazy though was that I was at E3 when he died and I was standing next to somebody and they go, it was right when Twitter first came out. He goes, hey, you're dead. In the moment that he said that, I knew, like, oh my god, no. And then, you know, like the next couple of hours

at E3 everybody's like, you're dead, you're dead. And I'm like, dude, and it was like two hours later, my father called me, let me know that it. Wow. Wow. That's how I make it a joke that they couldn't possibly see the connection. Yeah.

Yeah. That's the weird. I think I've heard of something similar where somebody walked into a room and goes, wow, who died? It's like our friend died. Do we just front out? You know, it's that kind of thing. It's just like, oh, who died? It's like our friend died. Do we just front out? You know, it's that kind of thing.

It's just like, oh, shit. Also, you're in a funeral home. Yeah. Yeah. We're not in the last. Yeah. The interruption you legit. Hey, who died?

The, but there's some people I know in life. And I think David Eddings, you were one of them. There's some people that I call by their first and last name. And I don't know why. And I can't think of anyone else I do it. Before I'm trying to go through the list of people I know in my head, Gus you might have been that way for a while.

Like I might've referred you as Gus Arola. Even though Gus is like, we're such an uncommon name. Gus Arola, like rolls off the tongue. It's like Gus Arola. It's all a liaison, isn't that what they say between the two? It's like Gus Arola, yeah.

When you have two words, were they string together? I just learned something, man. I don't know that. It might be a French term. What's the code? Liaison. Oh, ho. Uh-huh.

Oh, we get to the offensive accent. We're doing it podcast. I just want to put out, I'm also enjoying not an official sponsor, post them the alternative coffee drink. Are you drinking post them now? I just have a cup of water, but I just wanted to like a drink.

You win and grab that. They're sort of really back behind you. They're dude, ever since they were on our podcast if coffee drink are you drinking post them now? I just have a cup of water, but I just wanted to like You wouldn't grab that. They're normally back behind you. They're dude. They're ever since they were on our podcast or we talked about the podcast they've they've like catapulted to 500 350 followers. I think on Twitter. Yeah They were like 400 coming up. I'll see. I'll see what post them at these days. Let's go look that up. So you are a fellow flame thrower for your older person, yeah. Did you really? I pre-ordered a flame thrower from the boring company. Yeah, I got about a thousand tweets about that.

I was going to ask you if you were going to get one, because obviously for slow-mo guys you have more of a use for it, but then I thought he's probably been asked this a thousand times. Well, people ask me because I had a flame throw and someone nicked it. I know that because as soon as I posted on Twitter about the flame throw, everyone said don't keep it in your shed.

And I was like, what's this shed joke? And apparently you kept a lethal weapon in a shed outside your house. And now it's gonna be more else do you keep a flame throw in the kitchen? The garage. What are you, there's already five in your kitchen, right?

I don't have a flame throw closet. I guess really, I get a build one. What have a flame throw anymore? I would keep a gas can in my shed. And that's really the dangerous part. The flame throw just throws it, but you can throw it, right? You can like gas and fire and throw it. Yeah, did that for videos all?

Oh, God. Yeah, I'm not going to get another flame throw. I already made that video. I don't need it. Well, it looks like it's just air and it's like Like less than a 10 foot flame. Yeah, we had like a 50 foot flamethrower. Yeah, this is a very casual flamethrower Like a cost player version of a flamethrower. It does seem like it's been limited in what it can do Well, it looks like a super soaker. So that's your first hint that it might not be the most industrial flamethrower

It's also gas not liquid. Like when I associate a flame through it sprays liquid which sticks to stuff. Yeah, my old one. It was like napon. It was like goo. Man, I'm starting to think maybe this thing is like the equivalent of the first price flame Thrower. Exactly. My first flame. My little flame thrower. Or like the equivalent of the hairspray with the lighter. Yeah. I don't think it's dangerous.

Hopefully I don't get ever caught anything on fire. It looks like a bug assault with a paintmobile. A silencer. Bug assault. I'm going to buy you. You ordered one already, right? All right. Great.

You're going to get to work though. You're going to what? I'm a cancel. I'm not sure if I can. You can't cancel. The Elon Musk called you. Why can you can't cancel it. You know I must call you Why do you want wrong with your order? Why did you buy one? Because strictly because I have learned over my course David Eddings of my career in video games as a consumer I have learned never ever ever pre-order hardware or software, always pre-order hardware.

Because hardware is always in great demand. And if you get it, you can just sell it. Just like the vessel. I can probably, yeah, just like a little gloss. If I get this whatever flame-thorthing in, I even ordered it like next day shipping, which was like 40 bucks more. But I got it in case I decide when it gets here,

it's like, oh, people are gonna want these things. They're all sold out. Now it's a big deal, and then I could sell it if I want to. You could open it up, use it, and sell it for more than you bought it for within the first couple of days, because of the shortage. Yep. That's smart. I would have sold those dopey little Nintendo things to have all the Nintendo games in them. I mean, it's classic. I hate all these things. I hate, I mean, just get the digital version on your current Nintendo console, don't. You can't have it.

You can't, yeah. What do you mean? You can't get that shit on a switch. Well, why not? I don't work for Nintendo, dude. I'm just telling you what the way it is. They should, they should offer it like a digital demo. Because that's the way you're saying.

They wanted to monitor the tiny little thing. Exactly. And then we got some, and I was like, oh, these are people are going crazy for these. I don't want this will sell it But it was given to me by as a gift for a speechy speaking engagement who hurt you who an Nintendo hurt you It's the most same person I hurt Ryan Ryan Hayes Nintendo Why I don't know David had things don't use your first console you ever owned The very first console I owned was the Coleco Tellstar. It was a pong console.

Holy cow, yeah. Yeah, back in the back as well. Did you have hockey as well? Yeah, we had tennis hockey and squash, which was basically you versus God. Yeah. And what was funny is you could actually, there was an analog slider between the games. You had three choices of games, and you could slide between tennis and hockey and give yourself an extra guy. And there, of and hockey and give yourself an extra guy.

And there of course both sides had an extra guy. Of course all the guys moved in unison, but from down like so you're playing two games at once kind of you could play. Well, you could have an extra hockey guy. I guess it's that was that the first day you became a chia that was that was hacking. That was that was it. It was just it happened automatically. You couldn't help it but getting from one game to the other.

You would see it. The transition happened. You're like, wait a second. What if I just left it there? I love what that's analog change the game is like, well, you're almost there. To be clear, this is the way this thing works. This pong, that was tennis. But then when you had two on your side, that's hockey. Then when you had three, that was soccer. And so it was, it was pretty ridiculous. But it was a lot of fun. And we spent hours. And

if you wanted to take a break and pause, you had to align the paddle so that the ball would go right in between even. So you could get to a point and then you could walk away from it and you could leave it there. Call of a cruise. It's me like, all right, I'm not going to move it if you don't move it.

You know, I spent so many years playing pong before even the Atari came out that there was actually a giant pong at the National Video Game History Museum in Frisco, Texas. And when it opened up, they invited like Palmer Lucky and Cliff Blasinski, some other guys that were there, Vince N'Apella, you know, like a respond. I know I'm name dropping and everything like that, but it was bunch of these folks, they were interviewing him and whatnot. And we got to play giant pong.

They had big giant freaking pong with a big paddle like this. I see it. I'm name dropping and everything like that, but it was a bunch of these folks they were interviewing him and whatnot. And we got to play giant pong. They had big giant freaking pong with a big paddle like this. I see it, that's it. Yeah, and there it is. And I kicked all of their asses. I was undefeated on a giant pong. Is there a cobweb hanging from the nob boys that?

It's a retro thing. That's probably for some Halloween, get up or whatever. But yeah, it was awesome. And I played Palmer and I kicked his ass and I went to say good game and he just turned around the other way and walked up. Yeah, I was gonna say it's good to know those guys went because now I can go and there's less likely a chance that I'll run into them.

So, yeah. But I actually saw, I was at an open house for my kid and with somebody, one of the other parents there had a video game museum see in from Fisco, Texas. It's one of those things, what do they call it? So I'm gonna buy us when you see something once and then you start seeing it. Like confirmation buy. Yeah, but something that's not confirmation buy.

It's like, it's like when you buy a car, you never see one of the road, you think I'm gonna get a unique car. And all of a sudden that's all you see is the same model of your car, right? So literally two days ago, I heard about this thing for the first time and now you're bringing it up. Is it worth going to this thing? Absolutely.

I'd like to say that I had a little bit to do. In fact, there's a little mic character. I have a character that's on the mural and they're on the wall, whatever, but can you tell us what character that is? No. Okay. No, it's a little robot. It's a little. All right. So for those, by the way, to the folks that are listening and watching, I'm a new hire over here at Rooster Teeth. I started with about six months ago. Yeah, nothing new anymore, six months ago.

It's still still, I think, I've been on the thing, like, I have a lot of, oh my God, so all there you go. So I'm the voice of clap trap in Borderlands and also TK Baja in the game too. And I'm even doing a, you know, I'm doing another voice in the game that we're actually publishing here at Rooster Tees,

which will announce that whenever we want to get to that point, he's going to do it in the Rooster. No, no, I'm voicing a character in a game that we're going to publish. Here's what we're doing. We are trying to get four pong paddles at once, and then we're going to have our whole own sport. That's Rugby.

He's already. He's already. so my wife doesn't play video games that's shame she like she'll like be around when I'm playing video games and she hasn't met you yet but she fucking hates you because in the in the first game she hates the character right yeah look really I'm dancing I'm dancing check me out I'm dancing I'm dancing I was like she would hear that every what's on the title of the great? Is this game that you're playing? Yeah, I'm so sorry about that.

You know, I totally lifted that line from a movie, or no, from a cartoon, an old Hanabar Barra cartoon, Tom and Jerry, which they lifted it from like a Bowery Boy cereal, which nobody's gonna know what that is, no white and white days, whatever. But that, check me out, I'm dancing, I'm dancing. Black and white days, whatever. But that checked me out of dancing. I'm dancing.

It's like this from this cartoon, Tom and Jerry, it's like, you'll, you'll mama can get that or you'll, you know, Tom, Tom, it's something like that. I forget what it is. And it's a little mouse. He's over there dancing with like this little mop type of, you know, kind of, you know, I feel like I remember. Yeah. And I think these are like the original memes back in the day because I swear that Curly Howard

from the three stooge has also said something like this, right? Oh, I could have been a Curly line, yeah. Yeah, you know, I'm saying. And so I totally lifted and stolen. In fact, most of the stuff that I, yeah, well, that, there you go. So the great artists, right? There you go. But, so, so, you know, the character's supposed to be irritating.

Right, right, right. Because, because, you know, the character's there to remind you to nag you that you have emissions that you're supposed to complete because if Because the characters there to remind you, to nag you that you have a mission that you're supposed to complete. Because if you want to get away from him, you will out-level the missions and the whole thing screwed up. Well, you do get an achievement for high-fiving him,

which is the easiest achievement ever in any game. Took me forever to figure out how to do that. I love it. Really? Yeah. I'm on the screen. Come on. No, I know.

You said high-fiving, but you don't know what to do. You're still some melee hit him. Yeah, that's it. That's the high right. Oh high five is just punching in the face Yeah, it does a different animation High five Teddy's absolute favorite character and which which is the one that's the moon one where you can play as clap trap Yeah, the pre sequel. That's what is and yeah, he played his clap trap We remember when they announced that when you guys announced that, I thought, that's going

to be interesting. Because that's a character that's playable. And so that's a lot of time with that character. I was against the whole idea. Don't really. I thought it would have been overexposure. And I thought that nobody would have played that character. I was completely wrong.

That was the most popular character. I'm not surprised to hear that in the way. And yeah, it was very, very surprising given the fact that it was useless. Like it was random, right? So people would try to complete this game with four useless characters playing together. It was nuts. But I want to say that in defense of your wife, he's supposed to be irritating but endearing

like your kid brother, your mom says, yeah, you can go hang out with your friends, but you've got to take your kid brother along and you'll slap your kid brother around, but you won't let anybody else do it. You'll circle the wagons around your kid brother, you know, your mom says, yeah, you can go hang out with your friends, but you gotta take your kid brother long, and you'll slap your kid brother around, but you won't let anybody else do it. You'll circle the wagons around your kid brother. So that's what that's who clap trap. I think I loved clap trap in all that series of games.

In fact, I think, you know, close to the end, spoiler for the end of Borderlands 2, it's your fault if you ever played it. Yeah, you know, close to the end when, you know, you're going, you're gonna finally confront everyone, then you get to the area where there's the stairs, and then the clap trap just has the area where there's the stairs. And then the clap-trips just has that breakdown where it's like,

no! It's like the one thing that you can get over. So it was probably the best moment for me, the best moment in time. Thank you, thank you very much. Also, in defense of your life, I want to give our shout out for putting up with you for the 16 hours that you're not at work every day, plus weekends.

It's a lot to do with. I'm not. She can like or dislike whatever she wants. I think she puts up with you. I'm going to to deal with. I'm not. She can like her just like whatever she wants. I think I'm going to frame the shirt when I'm not at home that we should always have my face to look at. It's like I'm always there. I'm going to do that to her. Well, my wife is the opposite.

I've been married for 25 years and my wife is sick and tired of me. She's like, can you work late tonight? And we're going to work out. Yeah. I know. We got off on a little bit of a tangent here, but the thing I was saying, Gavin, is I don't hate Nintendo. My first console off on a little bit of a tangent here, but the thing I was saying, Gavin, I don't hate Nintendo.

My first console that I have was an Atari 2600, then I got a clickovision and some other stuff. It was like probably five or six years before Nintendo came out. By that point, it's not my retro sweet spot. Like if you played a Atari 2600 game, you'd be like, you would be excited about that. Oh, yeah. I played a Atari 2600, and that was exciting for NES. I mean, the shit out of a Tariq 2600.

Kevin the middle ground though, to me it's like it's not, especially like the super Nintendo era, it's like that's not retro to me, you know. You remember when the Intellivision came out and it actually had animated stick figures and crowd noise? The basement was fucking great. Yeah, you can hear the crowd, you can hear the smack of the bat and it was great, right?

You know, and then let's do it. It's probably like, it was terrible. It's not like static now, but they had the B 52 bomber one with the voice. The super module. Yeah, the voice module. Yeah. It's like B 52 bomber, whatever.

B a T. They too, bomber. It was anything that nice. Yeah, it was, it was really, really electronic. I'm not sure I can sit it. I'm not sure really, like, try not to block out black. I'm not sure I can sit at like Super Mario World's retro. It's just what I grew up with. I gotta consider that retro.

Yeah, you consider retro like before your time. Yeah, like shit and cabinet and stuff like stuff. Hey, like what we're talking about. Everything that we just said for the last 10 minutes. I remember when Super Mario Bros. was actually an arcade game. And I actually bought the NES because I knew it would save me money at the arcade. I was a fifth, I was 15 years old at the time. I was assistant manager at the mall.

And I sent a major of what for Lottie. It was a, yeah, it was like the very first one. And this was that towny small in Mesquite, Texas. And I, yeah, I know. And so I sent an employee the Toys RR to pick up the NES for me. And I didn't go to sleep that night. I stayed up all night long playing that game

and freaking loved every minute of it. We don't think about it much these days because of the state of like PC gaming and consoles now. But it was a very, very big deal that the NES was the same experience as playing in the arcade. Look the same. The home versions of all games sucked. Like the transition from Pac-Man from Arcade to Artware, that's what sank the Atari 2600

because the video game crash of 1982, which the video game industry declined by 95%. That's why they didn't want the NESs at all at retail. They had to do that ROB to make it a toy. They would even carry it. Oh, the robot. Yeah, so they would be on the toy. That's one. Did they have two games?

I know they had gyro might, and I forget what the other game was. Well, that doesn't suck. You just went and just pushed the button. It's like, pick it, picked up the top and moved it, put it down to the right hand. It's the robot. It looks cool, but it doesn't do anything. Like, when you see the box, you're like,

oh man, is that thing gonna play games with me? Is it gonna talk? No, it's just gonna move the stupid little tops. And it would open doors to you in Jaramite, wouldn't it? It's it. Yeah, it was so sad too. You wanted it to be your friend, but it wasn't gonna do a goddamn thing.

I don't understand why. Like, I guess I know why they did it, but they designed it with like those big eyes and it's like, wow, this is gonna do so many, no. It's just plastic. But it actually did look at the screen, like, I guess I know why they did it, but they designed it with like those big eyes and it's like, wow, this is going to do so many, no, it's just plastic. But it actually did look at the screen, I didn't it, because it flashed, the screen would flash and get it. Yeah, there was some sort of like, like, like the light gun. Yeah.

There was some sort of light sensor on there. It was fascinating to me as a way that the, the, the zapper worked on the NES was, you know, the screen would flash and it's not that anything was coming out from the gun. It was the sensor in the gun was reading when the screen flashed and what was hitting it. Right. Christmas of the New Year's of 86, whatever. 36 when I was in the 10th. Yeah, when that came out and man, that was, yeah, it was 86. So it was, it was magical. And the NES brought video games back in the home like nobody. Without question. Yeah. And and and even even now, even though I didn't, you know, I was 15, but when that came out, that was it's still it's retro. It's it's still, it's retro, it's still the,

it holds a place with my heart, even more so than I think the Atari. I think Colliko Vision was the closest thing at the time to, remember he had the Donkey Kong was like, oh man, it's almost like the arcade, right? Yeah, yeah. And finally with the NES, it was arcade quality. Same thing. Do arcade cabinets counter micro transactions? With continues?

I don't think it's, I think it's like, I feel like that came full circle. It's not necessarily a micro transactions. With continues? I don't think it's, I think it's like, that came full circle. Not necessarily a micro transaction. I think it's almost like the transaction. Right, it's almost like an equivalent of a freemium game or it's like, but without the free part. You know, it's like, you're paying

and installing this whole couple of games. Well, it's free to work up with. You can watch the demo screen. Yeah. Then if you want to interact, then it's like little iterative charges. I wonder how the NES would have gone if you actually had to put money into it. What's funny is I did the same thing you did to talk about using, yeah, about justifying it as spending less money in our case we had an NES. I was still, I was too young. I couldn't buy them. But that's how I just applied it to my parents. I was like, if you buy me this

game console, what's up, man? I will not go to the arcade anymore. Oh, you're gonna talk about that. Oh, thanks, Jack, appreciate that. Yeah. Let me read something before we get to that. I feel like that's a great, that's a great idea. That's a great idea. Look, to hold off on.

What would you do if you had the freedom to be anyone or to go anywhere without limitations? Start your journey and experience for yourself the feeling of total freedom when you game with Alienware. Alienware is your portal to new worlds

where limits don't exist and the only rules are the ones you decide to make. Defy boundaries and start gaming now at alienware.com. Next gen gaming is built with Intel Core i9 processors. Microsoft has a console, Sony has a console. Those are the big ones now today in Tendo obviously as well. But there's like so many people that try to make consoles over the years, you know what, Sega,

Sega tried to make console. That's how many know it was. They did a console. Yeah, they did a fine job on some of those. Which one, the Genesis I liked, but all the ones that are what kind of, oh, the Dreamcast was good. They also had a master system. Yeah, who had that that was like

that was like when you're a tarry and the kids had you know who had a master system was Jeff Ramsey. Yeah, what was the satson? The dis space first dis space I believe right was that like n64 no say a Saturn. No, but you like when the error. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, No, take a center. No, but you let go in the air. Yeah, it was around that. Yeah, yeah. But it's weird, you go back far enough and the pong thing that you're talking about was probably made by Magnavox, and Magnavox made the Odyssey as well, which was a super cool

console that very few people could afford. My like bridge buddy had that and I was like, what was the one with the rings, the sheet to the TV to give you a number of of those, but that was. The Vectrix. Yeah, the Vectrix was one of them. Yeah. And that was cool. I was like super vectorized graphics.

That actually looked quite good for that time thing. Do you know who made the Intellivision? It's Coleco. Oh, Coleco. It's Mattel. Yeah, Mattel did. And it's weird, because you know, associate Mattel as a council company.

But they were like, it shows that there was toy companies trying to get involved with it or electronics companies in this No man's lane when they were trying to figure out video games, but it's weird to think of Mattel had a lot of those handheld Maybe they had the handheld football games and stuff like oh they had like Oh, I love that I was like I Whatever I'll play the beginning of b17 ball three lanes to run. No passing. Let's We'll see this whole It's never any pass. It's like old school. There was passing but it's That's amazing

BOMmer I wonder what like the sample rate on that is like what's what size of audio? I read at one point, I have to look it up. But like on the Sega Genesis cartridges, obviously it's limited memory and storage space on these cartridges. And the Sega that comes up at the beginning, that was for some games 12% of the cartridge

had to be dedicated. It might have been higher than that. Was it higher than 12 or something like that? It's like 20 to 25% of the cartridge had to be dedicated. I thought there might have been higher than that. Was it higher than 12 or something like that? It's like 20 to 25% of the cartridge memory was just the Sega. Having to play that, right? I'll look it up. Why don't you put that in the hardware?

I can't use the came up later. You know, I read a great documentary about, actually it wasn't documentary, it was a game that was put on the Xbox console. And you go through and you can play games, but then they also, you can look up info on the game that had developers, and typically a lot of these games,

these cartridge-based games, one person worked on it. And that was it, one or two people. And then they talked about the history of the game and like how it's sold and everything like that. And I mean, a huge hit was like 200,000 copies back then, a huge hit. And a lot of times for the cartridges, because they had to go to manufacturing,

their deadlines were so tight that they would ship the game and then they would test it. And then they would put in the documentation for the game, which was printed later, they would put the things that were wrong with it as Easter eggs. Like, oh, if you get to this part and go this way, you'll get a purple screen, that's the

especially Easter egg, so you got to level three, you can't finish it. Hey, you know, I remember being a few years into the gaming industry and meeting somebody who used to program games for the clinical vision. And I remember at the time thinking, wow, you've been at it for so long, right? Like that's, and now I realize, like they were in it for like just a portion of the time that I've been in it now already.

Oh, you know what I mean? And, but I feel like the games that were made at that time. So, Janelle J. Quays used to work at a clique of, doing a clique of vision games. And I just remember one time she was talking about that. It was just like, that's, that's freaking incredible. But at the time, it was like 12 years prior to me getting in the industry.

And I just seemed like ancient, right? And now I hesitate to even say how long I've been in this one. A lot of those people also invented a lot of the stuff. Yeah, there was no rules for how you did it. But we're all in Venice. Even now, we're still in Venice, right? And there's always that innovation that starts that next jump. But I mean, all the people that we know are innovators, right?

I mean, we're sitting here today because- It's innovative to where you guys are based on a shirt. By the way, fuck nailed it, by the way. I had my gav a moment over here, 12%, it's 1-8. The car's okay. It's 1-8 the model. It's a nail bit. People are dying to know what's in the box.

Oh, all right, well, I have got a few things to tease right now. And case I never get to come on the show again. What's in the box? What's in the box? What's in the box? What's in the box? All right, well, I have got a few things to tease right now. And in case I never get to come on the show again. What's the bug? What's the bug? What's the bug? What's the bug? I do want to say that there's one thing that we're going to

mention tonight that is an exclusive thing just for this audience. We're going to announce the game that we recently signed. I'm teasing it a little bit. I don't know when y'all want to do that. And you know the one that's on the top. You're full discretion. But all right, then I'll just do it right now because I'd like to go ahead and get this out

because this is one of the things that I'm really excited about. And we'll talk about RT games. And I want to talk about the secret project that we have, the internal project, if we get a chance to do that. I'd love to, yeah. But we also, we're publishing games,

we signed a game, a game that I'm really excited about called Bindi and the Ink Machine. I don't know if you've seen this or not, I heard about this or not, but it's like five nights at Freddy's, meets BioShock, meets Cuphead, and quite frankly, I'm very, very, very excited about that. So that's the big news here tonight.

And so whenever we wanna get to that, we can talk about it and we'll leave that for later. I know that we're not in that. We're not in that. Let's talk about it. Okay, great. So yeah, so the, the bending in the ink machine is by the meatly games.

The thing. Yeah. So for a lot of people, there's a lot of people who enjoy video games don't understand the video game business. So people talk about developer, talk about a publisher. None of us understand the video game business,

but just briefly say like, what's the difference between publishing and developing? Great question. So imagine you write your, you're an author, right? Stephen King, a writer, right? Stephen King. I love to be, I'm Stephen King. Stephen King is the developer.

Stephen King writes the books he makes the games. If you were to develop, we'd be making a game. Stephen King's publisher does not write the books. However, Stephen King's publisher does, indeed, get the books out to market. They give him the money in advance a lot of times. They make sure that they have, they supply it editor. They make sure that it works, it fits on the page, whatever, they print it, they get it out to the stores. They sell it, they take the money, you know,

and they try to go find more Stephen King's out there to publish more books, right? And I do find that like in the publishing world, people, or I should say, publish more, in the publishing world, people, or I should say, publishing world, in the literature world, people know those authors and don't necessarily know the publishers at all. Whereas in the video game world, a lot of times people just focus,

especially when they have, Iir, they focus it on the publisher. Yeah, yeah. And now it's all through like EA, people always complain about EA, EA is a publisher. Well, EA is a developer and a publisher, because they own some of the development studios.

But, but, you know, I came from the school of gathering a developer's God Games back in the day. And to me, it's more about the developer. It's really about, you know, those are the rock stars, right? Nobody goes to movie just because it's a universal picture. Right, yeah. They go to movie because Steven Spielberg is directing or, or, or, or or or Jordan Voterober,

so I'm just giving a shout out to him for the movie. Oh, I got you. All right. Yeah. He did Kong Island. Yeah, that's right. Hey, you know, cool. Dude, how do you know that?

What's that dude? He's a good director. He's a great director. He's a video game. He's a huge all over the Kuchima. I feel like he was always there. Yeah, I know. All right.

So yeah, Jordan's doing the Metal Gear Solid. He's directing and written by Derek Connolly, who actually looks here in Austin, by the way. All right. But that said, you know, just like directors and writers and movie stars are the ones that people go see a movie for, not because of who, you know, basically produced it, right? You know, nobody gives a shit about a MGM film, but you can't really write. So that's how publishing should be with with developers as well. Now, the cool thing is, is that here at Ristartyth, we're not just a publisher,

but we're also developing games too. We have an internal dev team. They're working on is on on project secret code name right now. We'll leave it at that. It's a sci-fi game shooter. It's a set in the future. And, you know, it's a lot of fun shooter, it's set in the future. And it's a lot of fun right now. It's funny too, by the way. And later on, if we have time, I was hoping I could get the audience to help as with some of the future jargon and catch phrases.

And like, crowds are sort of a set. Well, I had some things to talk about in that regard, but we can get to talk about the theme of this. But we have so many things. Yeah, we've passed over a couple of things. So this is all what's upcoming up next, right? Now you pick which one we're gonna. So I feel like we need to see what's in the box.

All right. All right. This is this is the box first and then show everybody else. All right. Now, guys, do you do? I can do it. All right. So why is it?

Why is Jack have this box? Because I gave it to Jack personally. Jack did. I did. I gave this to Jack. What you doing? I always open Because I gave it to Jack. Personally? I did. Look at Jack. I gave this to Jack. I gave this to Jack. Jack, did you ask for this for free on Twitter? Sorry.

Did you ask for this for free on Twitter? No, no, no. Dave Roth is to me. So it's something. So we do extra life every year and Dave's like, hey, I have some really cool stuff. I'd love to give to you to give away for extra life. And he brought me this incredible piece.

And I'm like, so last year I was like, we don't have enough time to really prep this thing. Let's build this up. So for 2018 extra life, we'll do something really, really fun. I was like, we don't have enough time to really prep this thing. Let's build this up so for 2018 extra life, we'll do something really, really, really fun. It's like 10 months of hype then. Yeah, and this deserves it. And I'm glad, I'm glad, thank you very much for doing this too,

because this was a gift that I received when I was in Dongguan, China, having the original loot chest made for the Borderlands 2 Collector's Edition. And when I was over there, this manufacturer happens to be an official Sanrio original loot chest made for the Borderlands 2 Collector's Edition. And when I was over there, this manufacturer happens to be an official Sanrio manufacturer in Licensee and they do Hello Kitty. And while I was there, if you know anything about Chinese culture, if you ever say, like,

oh, I would love to see something like this. And if it's within their power as a host, they will make that happen. And so I said, oh, I would love to see a Hello Kitty loot chest. And when I, as I was leaving, they presented me with an official. Oh my God. Hello Kitty loot chest. There's a loot chest from Borderlands in the style. It is a borderlands. So there's that one of a kind of borderlands. It is one of a kind. It is a border. I'm gonna try to get the light reflecting You can see the logo. There's a gearbox and two K-Low there. Oh, yeah, there's right. Yeah, it is I was there when this was made. This is made with official Hello Kitty. Can I hold it? Yes, of course and you can even open it up by

official Hello Kitty plastic. There's official Hello Kitty plastic and and stickers. Yeah, pass over. And there's so I don't know why you want to stand you one because I'm going to win this. It's the only one. And and the reason I gave it to Jack is because I knew when I received it and one I wasn't really expecting to receive that. But I know that somewhere out there there's a there's a Hello Kitty fan who's a Borderlands fan or maybe just a Hello Kitty fan that wants everything. Does it come with your business card in it too? It does. It does. Yeah, you can call me later. But you know, the reality is, is something like this, I think, can raise a lot of money.

Maybe even over $10,000, maybe even over $20,000 for sure. To the right collector, right? And if we can do this for extra life and if it can go to relieve some children's pain or suffering or anything like that, you know, having spent a lot of time in the hospital myself, I know how much it sucks. And so I would like to see this do something good for for for some folks. So that's why that's why Jack came in and gave it to me right now because we want to let the world know that it exists. It's been hidden for a while and now that you know, spread the word and maybe we can help raise some a lot of money. You got to wait until we'll know that.

That's right. Yeah, but yeah, so that's one thing. We decided whether or not to do like an auction style, like where we actually put this up on eBay and have the proceeds go to extra life or if we want to do sort of our raffle style, which we do with most of our, the majority of our prizes for extra life. And I think we're going to do an auction for this one. It should be unique and kind of one off. We might do that with a couple of things this year.

So, can I, what you wanna do it maybe like, time it around RTX Austin or something? Probably, yeah, probably, we'll probably get a few months. We're really right now is about showing it. I mean, this is a one of a kind unique piece that literally, that's the only one that exists on the planet.

And so if you are a, if you are a kitchen, it's official. I mean, that's, yeah. Yeah, so I mean, that is literally it. So if you know anyone who's in a Hello Kitty official, I mean, that's yeah, yeah. So I mean, that is literally it. So if you know anyone who's in a Hello Kitty or you know anyone who's into collecting unique one one off things, Borderlands or Hello Kitty, even if you like Borderlands, it's doubly official. So yeah, but anyway, so yeah, well, we'll kind of show that around kind of spread the word a little bit more. And then we'll probably have an auction maybe around RTX, maybe we'll push it closer to November towards

actual life, but we'll figure it out and we'll make sure to raise a lot of money for this thing. That's awesome. Man, thank you for giving it to me. Oh, and thank you for thinking of it. I appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you. Problem.

To tie a couple of stories together here. Bye, Jack. Love you. The tie a couple of stories together here. Do you remember Gus that we were at the first ever child's play charity auction? And it was a big deal. They'd never done anything like this before. The Penny or Tade guys, they were taking a step to do it.

And then they got up and gave me a take or a great on stage, but they play off each other amazingly well. If you've never seen them do like a, there are Q and A sessions at PAX, you should absolutely check it out. But when they came to do the auction, everyone in the crowd like had never been to it before, so they started auctioning off the first thing,

and the room was kind of dead silent. Like anybody, like, when do you ask like after a presentation, does anybody have any questions? And there's a big lull, then nobody was saying anything. And I, Gus, you've hated this over the years, but to me, if there's a dead silence for like one second, it feels like an hour to me, and I will immediately fill it in. So I just bid on this me, and I will immediately fill it in.

So I just bid on this thing, and I won it, and I got it, and it was this MMO called World of Warcraft that was just about to come out, and it was signed by the whole dev team. And my brother was excited about the game. I got it for $350. Something like that.

And then it came with a three year subscription, it was a collector's edition signed by the entire dev team. I gave it to my brother, he sold it four years later, he sold it on eBay for $1,500. You're shooting the box. Oh my God. Wow. After his... Is this another one, if you want. No, I know. At the time you were like, well, you know, it's the three year subscription, a $1,000, $1,000, it pays for itself, right? Right.

You're like rationalizing it. It's fine. It's like, you bought it for less than what it cost. I did. I bought it for less than what it cost. Now if you go to one of those child's play auction stuff goes as crazy because people are just using it as a excuse to give money. I did. I shared that one of the child's play auctions. I just I wanted to be on something. So I've been on a Hayla for Xbox was signed by some people and I think it was like it was few hundred like 400 maybe. Yeah. But it came with like 10 Xbox Live year things with it. Yeah, I think I made money on it. Yeah, I sure did. Wow.

I didn't even know that was the part of it. Which is great, because the company donates that stuff anyway. So, I mean, it's just like basically free money for the charity, everybody wins kind of a solution. I did a similar thing where they were auctioning off like Adobe Master Collection. And I knew at the time Jordan Squeers was using like an old version of Flash

to make animated adventures like, oh, like this auction's going for less than what Master Collection actually costs. Like I can buy this, win it, and then give it to Jordan so he can make animated adventures. And that would make you all the money. Good business. Yeah, but I actually called them

because I was, I said, hey, my brother, he's gonna sell this, he's gonna sell on the eBay, but it's it's literally the first item ever sold at the first ever Child's play auction. Do you guys want it back for like your Records or whatever and Remember this was wrong with you know Get out of here The one who bit on it the closest thing I can find here on eBay is a signed vanilla World of Warcraft

collectors edition and burning crusade collectors edition. Yeah. $4,000. Get out of here. Oh wow. Peace sold too soon. For $4,000 I can get you a night with Rob Parto. How about that?

Yeah. Man, the big deal too is I don't think he'd use the code to get the pet, which was a Diablo demon with the collectors edition. I think you had an option with the collectors edition. I think it was either Diablo demon or a little zergling from Starcraft. I think when you redeemed the code, you could pick one of those two. Yeah.

I could be wrong. It's been a few years since that game came out. Correct me if I'm wrong. Did World Warcraft ever descend down the pay for cosmetic stuff or was that? No, that was legal. It really made that the big deal was the paying for cosmetics or it's like his counter strike. I mean legal legends was first was first. Yeah, were they I think lead came up before counter go time I'm talking about kind of try go because I got cosmetic with CS go So I didn't exist before go

Well, for the cosmetics you don't pay for cosmetics in a source or 1.6 fair enough. But I, I've been having an amazing experience with the sea of thieves closed beta. Yeah, I have just absolute. I got two kids. So it's perfect. Me and Ashley and the two boys, and we told you exclusively like pirates, the whole thing. Yeah, like a little bit. Teddy's pirate voice is pretty funny. God Michael I don't think it's come out yet. Michael does just incredible moments as a pirate

I think the way he can just spew paragraphs of nonsense and somehow it rhymes most of the time as well. It's amazing Michael has an ability to talk. I don't know if you ever noticed that Yeah The whole policy thing that I say I hate never happens around Michael ever I want you to like your watch him till he takes a breath. And then all right, here we go. Does my as Michael have a hood silence, do you think? It's very probably happened.

Yeah, but I was put people are pointing out on on the chat that World of Work have does have cosmetic mounts that you can pay for. It does. I, uh, I was given a bunch of chicken mounts once by Blizzard to give away at our Christmas party. Oh, yeah. Give away. I'm like, oh, no, no.

Well, one, uh, I, I refused to play World of Core craft only because, uh, my second child had already been born and, uh, and I was a huge, uh, city heroes freak. Oh, really? Yeah. Which was made here in the Austin area. Our very first live action piece that we ever did as a company was a city of heroes.

No, sure. Short. Yeah. It was a captain dynamic, right? Yeah. I obsessed over that game so much. I was the most powerful hero in the shard that I played on for even after six months after I quit.

I went and locked back in. I was still ranked number one. The developer, Jack Emert, who designed the game, I was like, hey, you should be a controller. Gravity kinetic controller. It's, you'll be really weak. You'll have a glass jaw in the beginning, but in the end, you'll be the most powerful

and he was right. And I did the math and spreadsheets. I was, I am, he owed myself out. It was crazy. I was like that with you, and I lost, if you wouldets. I was, I am, I would myself out. It was crazy. I was like that with the opinion. I lost, if you have a kid. And I lost so many hours, you know, and then I, you could, you could talk to an NPC

and depending on the first letter of their name, it could give you different information, it could tell you like how many hours you played in the game. And I've never told this to anybody else, but I know how many hours I played and I was embarrassed myself this fit so much time. And then my second child is born. I swore off in most and then Star Wars, the old republic came out. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's also developed here in Austin. I know. I know. And I was pretty pissed off about that coming out too. So I deliberately, whenever there's a big, especially like Bethesda games, I know I'm going to lose a lot of time in

them. Skyrim full-out and stuff. I deliberately leave the game on and walk away from it just so I don't ever truly know how many hours I've waited. Oh, good call. I'm like, I've got to know. My skyrim is over a thousand hours, but I can't wait to, you know, like just to fool yourself. Yeah.

Yeah. I've got to know. I never wanted to. If there's games that keep it going during the posthumine,'ve stepped away like I'll quit the game and go back to the title Because I wanted to be like as accurate of a counter as I can get like a lot I want to know how much I played this game. It's just like another milestone. There was a Gavin's one is Halo 2. How many matches of Halo 2? Did you play a multiplayer? I think it's 4,500 400 is crazy a lot. I mean these games like,500. 4,800 is crazy. Which is a lot.

I mean, these games like 10 minutes, at least. It was a crazy amount. And then we went and looked at our stats at one time, which thankfully Bungie.net had at that point, we go look at all your stats. And I had this crazy thing where we went back and looked at Halo 2. And I said, there's no way I have even closed that.

I sure didn't. I had like 1500 matches or something. And then I looked at my kill death ratio. And my kill death ratio across all my games was 25,000 kills, 25,000 and 10 deaths. I was like, 10 off. I'm like, I'm like, I'm perfect. One to one.

That means you're almost completely net use in every game. Yeah. That's a big thing. Yeah. You were barely a liability. Between, after 25,000, it's 25,000 in 10. Yeah, it's 50,000 in 10 total kill deaths, right? I'm like put down the middle, but under water,

just like my nose out of the water there. Yeah, it was crazy to be that close. Even Stephen, yeah, that's what I think you are. In a Guitar Hero 2, I might have told this to me on the podcast, you get really high scores in guitar You can get like 300,000 and sometimes it's like you hold a note for a fraction of a second you get like 15 more points But I was looking up for some reason was looking up a song what where I was in the leaderboards and Jason South-Ana voice of Tucker we were next to each other in the world leaderboards. At like, I might have had like 180,564,

and he had 180,563. We were just like, I was like, if we set out to do that, we never could have done that. That's amazing. Our game of text, I actually thought I was just looking at the friend leaderboards, but it was the world leaderboard. Oh, we should. Our game of text, you knew it was talking to the right next.

Yeah, we were both there in the room checking it for some reason. And it was crazy. One of the craziest coincidences of my life, but it's like very specific to if you play a guitar that you wouldn't really relate to it. Anyway, I was checking recounts over the crazy coincidences that you and I have had. And we got to go back and capture those. We went through a period where you and I had just insane amount of coincidences. Yeah, well, we thought we were living in a simulation. Yeah, plugged into the same one.

We had we got a lot of that in the cold. I've had moments like that. Yeah, that's odd. Yeah, there's some really weird stuff that we patched the simulation. Yeah, too many coincidences going on. They've ever caused the death of a celebrity by just thinking about it. I've thought she wanted to. I've caused twice to a Bobby, Bobby Heb and arguably not who'sty have he sang a song called sunny sunny.

I look at the day my life was cool. Anyway, I was like, Hey, is Bobby Heb dead? I think he's dead. No, I don't know. I'm gonna look it up and right at that moment, he died. Oh, wow. The same thing happened with Ray Harryhausen and with the with Ray Harryhausen, I got a lot of witnesses, two K games and video and folks at Gearbox. And we were talking about Ray Harryhausen. I was like, Hey, is Ray Harryhausen, I got a lot of witnesses, 2K games, Nvidia, and folks at Gearbox.

And we were talking about Ray Harryhausen. I was like, hey, is Ray Harryhausen dead? They're like, nah, he's not dead. Everybody looked it up at that moment, he died. He was literally the next morning, everybody's sending me emails like, oh my fucking god, man, he fucking killed Ray Harryhausen. Yeah, we did that with Tom Clancy.

We were playing Rainbow Six. Wait, did he kill Tom Clancy? Yeah, it Rainbow Six. Wait, which... He killed Tom Clancy? Yeah, it was unfortunate. Yeah. At Rainbow Six Vegas, we'd just started getting back into it, even though it was like, it'd been out for like six years at the time. And we're like, it's Tom Clancy alive, and the day that video came out, he died.

Yeah. It's the same shit. Oh my God. So he didn't, we didn't kill him that day. You're the reason we won't, we don't get rid October 2. Yeah. Don't blame Jeff. I think it was Jeff who mentioned it.

Fuck. You guys have a bad history of that. But I have reactions. Dude, Don't blame Jeff. I think it was Jeff who mentioned it. Fuck. You guys have a bad history that, but I have reactions. Dude, you did this too. Whoa, I didn't want to. I have reactions like you do. Like, I have been lost in some games. I arguably got pretty lost in PUBG,

not nearly as much as I did what I was saying. I love that game. When I had spare time and the concolegian stuff, I could get lost and see a thief's home. I'll play it whenever my kids want to play it, essentially. But you could tell myself, like I do see things and go, oh, I know exactly where this is going. I'm not touching this.

Like I never got super into wow, because I knew I would get sucked in. He got sucked in. I had spreadsheets too, like trying to figure out the perfect rotation, like, oh, with the cool down here, and like the pause for the animation to watch the, the, for your your be able to click the button again

It's like you know what kind of delay. Yeah, I was crazy. I didn't have a But you know is now that I'm in here fucking if I see if you sat me down I'd be like I don't remember I don't know I could be more than at the time you had your Headed down all of this laid out like this for a reason. It's like discovering another person's death. You felt like you're God at that moment. Right. I mean, that's what it is about these immuno- Traceous Christ.

I was a God in city of heroes. And people would worship me. They would bow down. They had that worship animation and stuff like that. And it was crazy. And what's nuts is you start to identify as your avatar, as your character, right? And Gus, you know what I'm talking about?

If you were that obsessed with it, you know what I'm saying? You start to think, like, oh, this is who I am, as opposed to I'm Gus Serola, I'm like, I don't know what your character name, I'm, my mind was blue lucifer in, in, in, in city here. Mine was an anagram of Serola.

Okay. All right. So, you know, I'm blue lucifer, right? And, and you start to think like this. And it changes your mindset and its asickness and it's weird and it's great and wonderful and it's terrible all at the same time. I don't know, that's just, you know,

you know, I played one match of Overwatch. I played his Reaper, got to the end of it, saw the play of the game or whatever. And I was like, didn't it was ready for the next match? I was like, I see exactly where this goes. And I was like, I never played again. Never played again. The thing with Overwatch, it's amazing how little downtime

there is between matches. There's just enough time for you to be like, oh, there's this. You look at the end of game screens, you watch the play of the game. Well, it was like that. Cool, legit. It's like, oh, very quick.

The next game's starting. I may as well play it. It's just like three seconds from now. That's kind of a great game. It's one that's short enough that you feel like, I can play another one and I'm not going to ruin any sleep time or family time Or like that, but then you end up spending six hours playing that because it's just one more just one more It's like a potato chip, right? You know, can I pitch a idea at you for to talk about downtime between matches?

If I can hear Gavin's pirate voice from CF thieves Why don't you hear that? Well, he said CF thieves and I thought you mentioned your pirate voice earlier First of all, you have a pirate voice. No. You can already have it. Oh my God, I'm from the pirate lens. But, uh, PUBG, you like it. I like it. Yeah. I think that the parachuting part is a lot of unnecessary downtime.

There's a lot of, between that and the starting island and all that shit. Would you play a match when we start? You just spawn somewhere in the island by yourself. I would rather spawn on the plane and the plane's going. Spawn on the plane. Okay. I get it. And you better like and you you better pick it. You better pick your spot Well, I think I think we have to that anyway. I mean, you see you're saying we take out the island right Yeah, it's a spawn island part. Well, I mean they've even changed that already. Have you played since then? Yeah

That's what made me think of it They just now spread out how people spawn on the spawn island because apparently was Xbox one was having trouble keeping up with all those people Spawning in one place at one time. Yeah. But then I thought, well, I don't even have the playing part in the parishing part just spawn in the game. I mean, that's part of the strategy of the game is picking where you're going to land and watching the other players play.

When the playing crosses over. Right. Like knowing the path of the plane and keeping that in mind throughout the whole match. Like, that's very important information. I did not consider that and I agree with you. So I will retract my pitch. Do you feel pretty stupid after that? Interesting.

It's all learning. I'm not afraid to fail. That's the secret to success. Filled. That's the successful guy who bitches about blood tea. Let me read this thing here. When I mind everyone, this episode received podcast is also brought to you by ProFlowers.

It's like, wow, those smell really good. I never realized before using pro flowers, how many flowers will kill a cat? Okay. Like how many of the stuff flowers are toxic for a cat? Yeah, like the pollen, like a mostly lilies because I kept ordering flowers and then mega be like,

okay, I can't have these because the cat would die. Rose is a safe, though. What was cat can die? I don't know, like the bunch of different flowers can kill cats. You have to order cats say flowers. It's the case, cats, I mean, that's like an evolution thing. Yeah, I don't know what it is, but apparently they clear the cats that roam outside or allergic to plants, right?

Right. Yeah, like other protected cats from flowers earlier before humans domesticated them. But I mean, would a cat ever find like a stagazer lily? Yeah. First of all, is your cat like putting out certain like propaganda into your like like little pamphlets and things like this?

Like don't like these kind of flowers or. I just feel so bad. Here's what you have like cat safe flowers you can order or what? I would love a cat safe option on the website. This is a great thing. This is a great thing. You have a good opportunity here.

Great maggot the door, which comes back from like a trip or something like that. Yeah. Greed the door, I have a bunch of flowers. This is a card says, sorry, I killed the cats. You're gonna be like, it all works out. I'm looking here. All right. Um, so then 25 years of marriage, though, by the way, ordering flowers, I'm looking here. All right. So the 25 years of marriage, though, by the way, ordering flowers just because it gets you

in trouble. What? Oh, we have to do Mingyang. Yeah. So you got to make a steak or something bad. Yeah, there's something. So if you're going to do it randomly, you got to just have it sent at random times. I wish there was a random function, like just to pick a day.

Randoming. Three times. I'll be here. I'd have like subscribing to like three bouquets a year and then you don't know when they're going to show up. You don't want to go to show up, right? So, occasionally people just drop little bombs like when David Edding is talking about this, maybe you think about this with Ashley. Once you get up here, I want to talk to you about the bomb you dropped on me, Maddie. The, but I was talking with Ashley about the flame thrower today. Oh arguably a

frivolous very expensive purchase Right? It is not frivolous frivolous pervillus $500 right? No arguing not frivolous nor really expensive for man like you in hindsight all three of us because Michael bought one as well from what I understand Michael Jones. Yeah, we could all just have gone over to Marcus and he probably would have made us. But it wouldn't say the boring company on it.

Oh, shut up. Get that hat on that. It looks like a supersoaker. It's like fun. It's like, is it gonna shoot water? Is it gonna shoot fire? You don't know. It's boring though.

Cheeky joke to Ashley when I saw her. I was getting a C of thieves closed beta code for somebody else, the company she had an extra one. So I was gonna do a nice thing for somebody else. And then I jokingly said to her and I was getting a C of thieves closed beta code for somebody else the company. She had an extra one So I was gonna do a nice thing for somebody else and then I jokingly said to her I was like, hey, sorry, I Sorry, I made a purchase like a flamethrower without talking to you first and she's typing in her desk And she just looks up at me like this and she goes You didn't talk to me about the bus first

Oh, I was like I was like I then there was his dead size winner often without everybody first. And I was like, I was like, and then there was this dead size winner often without everybody who worked for us. Like, was, oh no, I didn't even realize that was a thing. And so now I'm in trouble. There's lots of things that you don't realize. Yeah, yeah. How can you not have that conversation about a bus? It was, she knew us, I was in the works,

it was the playing end, welcome to relationships. Yeah, a bus. Yeah, literally physically huge. It is huge and I got in trouble. Let me deflect now and introduce to relationships. Yeah, a bus. Yeah, huge, literally physically huge. It is huge and I got in trouble. Let me deflect now and introduce Scott Flick. Are you gonna deflect? I said deflect, I said deflect. You did say deflect.

Let me deflect. And then you're like Shakespeare, you're in very worth over here. He's from Australia, she can't even speak English anyway. So this is Maddie, say hello Maddie. Hello. Maddie is one of our interns in the live action department.

How are, I'm Maddie. You've been an intern for a longdie. Hello. Maddie is one of our interns in the live action department. How are, I'm Maddie. You've been an intern for a long time. Yeah. How does that work? It's, now it's, like, it's way more fun because there's other people to hang out with. Whereas last semester was like, That's a one of your, wait, how long have you been an intern?

I was the intern last semester as well. So I was, but by myself, so it was just me. So it was a little bit lonely. But now I have so many more other intents to hang out with. I met Maddie on a live action shoot. And that's why I know it's like, you've been here a little while. I've seen some things. Shows get canceled.

Yeah. You have seen that. We worked on a shoot that got canceled. Oh, right. I felt so bad for you. We can't talk about that, right? Can we now? Why not?

You released photos from it. I thought we did. We did a shoot about that, right? Can we now? Yeah, fun. You released photos from it. I thought a photo. We did a shoot that was gust dressed as the Grinch, and it was a Christmas thing. And then halfway through it, legal was like, no, don't do this. Yeah, look too realistic. It looked realistic, and it was also had a musical component that used a very similar sounding song.

Can you just cool it something different? I think the Grunch, the music and the costume were like too close. Legal always says no to everything. That's their job. I just know you can't do this. We'll get sued and it'll be. Which do you think would justify their job getting sued? No, they don't want to work though.

Nobody wants to like, oh shit, now I got a card. Generally you get a cease and desist before you get sued to say in. Yeah. And by the way, I also pointed out that this was a holiday short for our store. If the Dr. Seuss estate had taken down our short, there would have been more publicity than the video probably would have generated for this thing.

So then the Grinch would have killed our Christmas. Yes. Oh my God, that would have been perfect. I don't know how to make perfect. That's perfect. I felt so bad though, because Gus was in makeup and hair for the whole day. We had everyone come out to the house. I think we'd sent everyone home.

We got in every shot except for Gus' shots. And we're like 80% done with principal photography. I done sneaking around and stuff like that. And that's the idea of you getting in full costume and makeup. Six hours long, just for shows that get canceled. Right as soon as you just like. Yeah, I was not happy. I was not. That might be the most. Like, it's troppy.

Diva, I've been on a on a shoot. What was your action? I'll be the like, uh, hey, uh, we don't know if we can do this. Uh, it's too close to the real thing. Uh, we may have you redo your makeup and, uh, and do something that looks less realistic. And I was like, I sat and makeup for three hours for this Like I'm not redoing this whoa. I said I'm not gonna you're not gonna redo this and I'm post and I'm not gonna Re-shoot everything that we already shot listen you wow so were you more of the Chuck Jones Grinch or you more of the Jim Carrey grinch? Okay, all right and

Then that way there was some there were some very tense conversations and it was a harder everybody let's go home And then that way there were some there were some very tense conversations and it was a harder everybody let's go home Unfortunately Blaine who even though he should have the highest confidence levels of anyone at the company because of his physical fitness and just his position in life He's unfortunately his very little confidence He's the only person I know that's had two shoots canceled in the middle of the shoot That was one and then we did another one a couple years ago where three quarters of the way through the day, the lead actor goes, you know what, I don't like this material.

And said, I'm leaving. Oh, right. He even got his agent on the phone. The agent's like, if you walk off this set, allegedly, this is what I heard was said. If you walk off the set, I'll stop representing you. And the guy was like, I'm out of here, bye. So you worked on that one.

You worked on that one, Cuddy. So I do, then like, that will cost a fuller of money. Is that like an insurance claim? We all know you're talking about you and the guy for a little bit, just out of like, I'm out of your bike. So you worked on that one, cutting? So I do, then like, that will cost a fuller of money. Is that like an insurance claim? We all know he talked about doing the guy for a little bit, just out of like, because we'd never had anything like that, but we're not gonna sue a dude. I mean, he would have, there's no way he could recoup. He certainly can pay for that shoot.

Certainly won't work with him again. Huh, I don't know that we can't not pay him. No, no, no, you can sue him for enough pay. If you sue him for all the time and money lost, I doubt one person could afford that. I doubt that. That's too bad. How bad was the script that he just started to walk across?

It was fine. It was in the script. Either way, it was in the script. All right, well, Maddie, I have to say that as an intern, one of the things that we offer that's of value to our interns is they learn valuable business and professional procedures. What do you about?

Oh my God. I'm trying to figure out how to get to the point. I can tell it's not working. We are supposed to teach you about how to operate properly in a professional business environment. That's one of the things I'm trying to teach. Are you goofed? She goofed a little bit.

You goofed? Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. You're stopping with the story, so it's weird. So, Maddie was gonna come and sit in on the podcast. I was on a shoot for Marshall's got a new show, a new live action show that Marshall's working on. I have a part in it, and I was on set.

Maddie working the live action department was there as an intern, but she was coming over to the podcast as well, and I said, I had to race to get out of there, because we shoot the podcast at five o'clock. I race to get away from Marshall too. Yeah, yeah, no. It was like four or 15, we were getting to get out of there because we shoot the podcast at five o'clock. I race to get away from marching to. Yeah, yeah, no. It was like four or 15, we were getting to the end of the day

and I'm like, hey, I really gotta make sure I'm winding down here to get out of here. And then I saw Maddie go, hey, Maddie, I said, you're coming to the podcast, right? And she said, yes. And I said, okay, do you need to ride? I don't know what your situation is. Do you have a car?

She goes, yeah, I have a car. No, Jessica said, yeah, she's got a car. Oh, I could have sworn you said it. Okay, we're in the room. Yeah, Maddie's got a car. Oh, I could have sworn you said it. Okay, we're in the room, yeah, Maddie's got a car. So we wrap, I get out of there, I go out to my car, Maddie comes hauling out, running, and she's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

And I go, what? And she goes, I need to ride. And I said, oh, I'm sorry, I thought, I didn't even get to fall. I thought you had a car. And she goes, oh no, on the application, one of the requirements for the job is in turn, is that you have to have a car. So I just told them that I do, but I don't have a car and she goes, oh no, on the application, one of the requirements for the job is in turn, is that you have to have a car. So I just told them that I do, but I don't have a car.

Okay, I'll get right with you. And she asks me, my car might. You do know who that is, right? Why would you tell him that? Why am I like you're stealing office supplies, you can tell the CEO, what's he gonna do? He's like, he wasn't buying the paperclips. He's like, wait a minute. Wait a minute, show initiative. But it is one of those things where it's like, is obviously dirty little liar.

But, is this initiative? Like she went out of her way, like one of the things I found out she had to do, Gavin was pick you up to go somewhere because you don't drive drive another irresponsible foreigner over here Yeah, and that she had to get you a lift instead and kind of fool you into taking a look I got someone else to go and get you instead. Yeah, I mean, I don't really pay attention to who it is I'm not driving Texas. I knew you wouldn't care

But also I'd like to clear my name go. Okay. Go. So originally, I was in the post-production department. And so I was just editing. I didn't need a cop. It wasn't on the application. I applied online. So I was in the clear. I didn't need a cop. It was fine.

And then slowly I started doing more and more production stuff because they didn't have an intern. I was all alone by myself. And then Will was just having me do more and more stuff. And then one day it was like, okay, next semester, when I come back, I was like, yes. And he's like, you've got a car, right? And I was like, yeah, I didn't write anything on paper.

I just kind of, Oh, so Eli doesn't count it as a thing. It always count it as a lot. Oh, wow. I'm a boy, he's be like, well, no, you can't, like, we need someone to. Well, that's exactly what he would have said. What do you do if I was like,

it's actually right, I'm at the level where I think it's funny what if Will's like going pick up a bunch of shit from a bunch of different places I Uber everywhere I calculated how much I spent lots of semester and it was like it was pretty bad oh my god your how much work here how much was it for I don't want to say it no because I get 500 get in trouble. About 500? God, she's paying for education. She gets professional business procedure education. Was it more than $500?

Oh, yeah. More than $800? More than $1200. Get a car! Get a car! I'm coming and spring break and we're going to get a car. Oh, it's the decision for not having a car, because I don't know.

Yeah, because I'm foreign and I'm- Oh, you're asking that question. Because I'm foreign and I'm worried that I'll like hit someone and like get to Porto high five Yes, yeah, that makes sense I'm a recent and I had an Australian driver's license that was valid So if I did need to drive the pickup truck I could like they need me to do something are you authorized to drive the truck? Well, I'm not an employee, so I can't you but I always said if they need me like desperately I like could but

All these agents watching we do not allow no To drive the truck and I've only authorized driven on the other road on the right hand side No, I've never I didn't think so no, but you you have a hard time crossing the streets too I'm always like yeah, you look the wrong way. Mm-hmm. Yeah Yeah, yeah, it hit like the other day We were filming something here in the parking lot and like my license is now expired Like I can't drive here at all and so Drew we were filming something We needed cars to be lined up and drew was like hey, Maddie Can you go like can you go ask people if you can move their cars?

Just like he is who can use them in the shot now is like Okay, and so we're like one of us the other in turn I was like listen Like you gotta go you gotta move them. I can't do it. She's smart, she delegates. Okay, so you can probably push them. She goes to Home Depot to pick up like hardware materials for live action and then gets a lift and then loads lumber. Also, Home Depot's like 90 seconds down the road

from here, so you're right there. So you're gonna put lumber in your car and then take it 90 seconds back. And then they send me to HUB to get crafty and they'll be like, you need 10 cases of water, three cases of coke, three cases of like Sprite. And it's like, the Uber pulls up and I'm like, hi, please don't give me a bad rating

and you're going next door. God. Wow. You can at least walk there and then call the Uber once you get there. I'm just like worried right now. You need to make a friend who has a car. Jessica's gonna see this, so like, playing her hobby.

Well, it's too late now. Wait, they still don't know? No, I think. You're approved. Say no now. You're approved. I don't know what power my title has, but you're approved. That's it.

You get a seal of approval. You don't need to call it. I'm totally fine continuing to Uber everywhere. Right, you're gonna have to use Uber. Do you use Uber or not left? Yeah, I use Uber. Because it has the the parent like I can Do you know what I mean like I can like my what I have a family account and so it's like

Anything else you want to clear the air on right now with the confession think of I'm 21. You're 21. Sure. Actually 21. You're not like two 10 year old stack on top of each other. I like that. I just read today.

Okay. All right. Good. Bojack. That's it. That's it. Yeah. Well, thank you, Maddie.

It was great to work with you for the short of months. I think we're just going to kick me to the curb now. So yeah, one will find out you're kind of out. Well, at least so have a ride. Oh, no. I think Rulish is gonna kick me to the curb now. Yeah, one will find out your kind of own. Well, at least you'll have a ride. Yeah. Oh, no. I think that's some good initiative.

That's pretty impressive to me, actually. Patrick was saying that now we should have all of our interns submit photos of themselves with their car whenever they apply. Look, I have the keys. I can drive it. Next up we'll do, we'll have interviews where the intern has to drive. And then you ride. We should have an intern like road course, like, you know, obstacle course, whatever.

They have these like Canadians were Canada's worst drivers. Have you ever seen this? Might not obsessed with this. Canada's worst drivers. And it's this reality show where they really have these the shittiest drivers of the world. I swear to God. It's fun. It's fun. I watch that show. I live in Austin. I live that every fucking day. You get so mad driving. You're always like, why don't you drive?

In some of these people, yeah. Play a game. Getting your car in Austin goes somewhere and see if you can go somewhere where that run into somebody who clearly has no clue what they're fucking doing. That's me. I'm ran out of here.

I'm the guy that doesn't know what the fuck I'm doing. You're gonna hear a horn. If you get in your car, someone's honking at someone. You're gonna hear horns. Like for nothing. Like I car, someone's honking at someone. You're gonna hear horns. Like for nothing. Like I feel like everyone's job when you get to a green light. It's like the first person has to pull out their phone and look at it.

The second person has to watch the light to honk at the person when it's time to go. It's like, and then if I'm the third person and I'm honking, I'm pissed off. And like the second guy is not doing his fucking job. They should, oh, you already found out in Austin, the cameras that are on all the traffic lights are not red light cameras. There's a few, but most of them aren't.

It's so they don't have to put metal sensors in the pavement. They're just optical now for what? For like seeing if there's cars at the intersection waiting to go. Oh, so they control the lights? And yeah, it's for traffic control and for identifying emergency vehicles. Totally thought they were red light cameras,

the entire time. I don't even know if we have those back. There's a few red light cameras. I like the kind of you can light flash your brights and you can get a green light or whatever. Yeah, that's the old school way to do it. Yeah. Yeah, I like those. Just be like a police officer.

You're ever an intersection with a police officer like two in the morning or three in the morning and there's nobody else around. Cop hits his lights and goes through the red and then turns it back off and you're like, why I want to do that? Where you go? You know, if I did that, you know, he pulled me right over, right? Yeah, you just have to wait for them to leave a little bit. That's all you have to do.

Like, just go like 50 yards and then you can do the same thing. I do that at a at a skarpment in slaughters the worst like at 2 a.m. when the bars are closed and you got a turn left on a skarpment or whatever or I know exactly where you're talking. Yeah, yeah, it's a circle C whatever and that light just stays that way forever stays red. There's nobody coming and it's just it's just red the left turn. There's just nothing happening at all. And it goes for like 30 minutes or it's over 11. That's for sure. And it's just red, the left turn. There's just nothing happening at all. And it goes for like 30 minutes or it's over 11, that's for sure. And it's just ridiculous.

And you want to go away at a red light before you realize it's broken. I don't, I don't. I get it. I get it. If it's nighttime, I feel like there, I feel insulted when there's nobody in the intersection and I'm just sitting at the red light

and it's every other direction pretty much has a concrete life. It's ridiculous. Yeah. Do you think anyone, because a lot of people get frustrated at other drivers on the road, I've seen you do it every time a bit in your car.

As anyone ever been like, man, this guy in front's a great driver. I've done that. What? I've seen good drivers and I'm like, oh wow, that person really knows what they're doing. You're the one. How do you differentiate good drivers?

You can see like proper use of turn signals, like keeping maintaining safe base. I'm like, a good speed. I'm like, okay, like this is someone I can, I'm comfortable being around this person. Like that's a good drive. You don't mind like pacing behind them. Right, like yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm gonna associate with this guy. Like I'm gonna be close to this person because we're not gonna get into a wreck together. I'm blown away by the fact that you've noticed a good driver. I know, good drivers, it doesn't happen often in Austin. It'll happen every couple of days and be like, that person knows what they're doing. Right on, man.

You'll see him. I like that. I like it, you even notice. And it makes me want, like, I wish there were different kinds of horns, like different honks you could do. Like, like a thumps-on. Like, hey, that was good driving. Yeah.

Right. It was like, you know, also like I talked about, like the green light honk, like a, come on. The fun. Meg weren't honk anyone. And what what is the what is the whole and for is for like, hey, no, let's pay attention. If you're in India, it's to indicate that your car is on. Yeah, I'm driving. I'm continuing to be driving.

We were in indoor driving for that dark honking. You can't lay on the horn. You got it. Yes. It's communication. But the guy in front of us this morning had his indicator on the whole way. He was right. That's right.

That's right. For those of us in America, that's Blinker. Yeah. His turn signal, or whatever. It was right. And he wasn't taking any rights. And I was like, why don't you blast him with the horn. So he's like, what am I doing wrong?

Oh. And she was like, that's not what the horn's for. And I was like, oh, what the song for that? Like go. Surely it's just, what am I doing wrong? Oh, and she was like, that's not what the hoax for. And I was like, oh, what the, what's wrong for that? Like go, surely it's just, hey, something's different. There's a, there's a period of time you have to give for somebody to even notice. And then you give it like a really polite honk.

But then there's the danger honk. There's the danger honk. And then there's the asshole honk, right? There's the polite honk, the danger honk, and the asshole honk. Well, how all these honks different? Man, they're all different. They're different, they're different.

Yeah, and you know too, when you're getting what chunk you're getting. But if you were driving along for ages and then you just got honked, would you be like, what's up? No, if I was doing a thing, just in my lane, I would wonder what was up. But if I was like drifting into a lane, or maybe I was texting, or maybe I was like, I feel like phone and text. I feel like if she honked, he would have turned off the blinker. You know what I do?

No. I honk on other people's behalf to get up and trouble. Like say, there's a left lane, and there's a right lane, and I'm in the left lane here, and the right lane here, and then a guy comes in on a burglary and cuts somebody off from him, I'm in the left lane, but I go, I got caught. Oh my god. And then it's like, I look at the guy. They start arguing. I can't do that. Yeah, I look at the left lane, but I go I And then it's like I look at the guy

They started arguing Yeah, look at that guy like it we hugged him over that and also you can just hog by putting your hand down below Where did we can see play on the horn and just like look around like You do the pranks of the knee hawk and you have your hands up like this Veroth the road while I was trying to honk with my knee. That's the worst when you hear a honk and you're like, was that it me? And then you're like, I was driving fine. What the fuck?

Then it wasn't you. No, but fine, you're fine. I can't even paranoid about it. Yeah, I was fine. I wasn't doing anything or like you get the honk when the instant the light turns green. Like I'm human. I'm not a robot.

In some places, you'll get your ass kicked for just for honk and a horn. Yeah, you probably got someone beat up. Yeah, maybe who knows? I know who cares. I feel like there should be multiple honk sounds. Happy. Yeah, I'm just saying green to the good. Yeah, good. Why not? I have no, I agree with that. There should be a there should be a separate nice honk or like or just say, Hey, I'm not mad at you. Just like a good guy. Well, you know, back in the 70s and early 80s, when I was growing up in Houston,

Texas, I remember like sometimes you'd have the like kukuracha honk, you know, right? That's never an asshole honk. Like anybody honks that, but that's the matter of what you're doing. You're like, that's pretty cool. That's all they had. That's it. That's that was to let you know to go in a green light. So let you know you're being a dickhead. You know, the whole time I made you happy. That was the thing. It was like positive reinforcement.

You're like, oh yeah. If you could record one like vocal from yourself that would be your horn. Hey, the fun. You'd be the fun. Yeah. Well, Joseph, I wouldn't do me. I do, I had to have you do your old message tone.

Ah! Ah! I'll be like, Hi, honey home! I just wouldn't do it, because then I never used my stupid horn ever. What, you could, you could have a pretty good yell though. You're like, you're like,

I'm sure you just don't want to know that. No, every horn's not F. It's the standard, the standard US horn is in the key of F. What if you want to calm it up? Just then fucking get a different car. I don't know. Get a car that's made in fucking your car. You're talking about something, right?

What's Europe's horn left? Is Europe F? All I know is you need you need to change your emergency vehicle the sirens I hate the European ones that when when what's that needle needle needle me on me I don't like if I ever hear that in something like immediately know it's in Europe and it was good about like English police cars and stuff they're reflective they're like bright yellow fluorescent colors so you can see them. Yeah. You'll please cause a black. Yeah. Yeah. Not always. Because our cats are black and white.

Sometimes they're black and blue. I don't really stand out. I try to catch you. Actually, the police cars in Austin used to be all white with blue accents. But in the previous police chief, when he started, he said that he complained that the police cars in Austin looked like taxis. So he changed them to the black and white color. Taxis the yellow. Yeah, he was, that was his complaint, was that he said Austin police cars look like taxis. Well, also, you came police have no authority.

I mean, so who cares, you can see him. Like, I'm gonna be in a fucking ice cream truck. It's fine. What are they gonna do? Greatest cops. John is true drugs. That'd be the best. Like everybody would love cops in the neighborhood.

You know, Here's a sorry you're going five miles over the speed limit. Here's your ticket, but here's your dip cone to people chasing the cop cars, right? No, no, no, no, no, no, come back. Come back. I do think they should separate the traffic control and authority from police officers. I think so. Because I don't like the fact that whenever I see a police car, my industry reaction is, oh shit.

You shouldn't feel that way about the police. Usually you see cop and you're like, oh, thank God there's a cop around. Yeah, something happened. The UVM is only serving and not protecting. Right. It's like, when I now notice a cop out, cop car, I'm like, oh, I'm doing some wrong.

I gotta watch myself. Which is really weird as a white dude. Yes, I think that's right. You know, oh my God, like, oh my, I'm so scared. That's just, I mean, honestly. We do, I feel this story two weeks ago, I think, or three weeks ago now, about that I was waiting at a red light

and there was a cop in front of me and all of a sudden he hits his lights and just drove, no, he's behind me because he drove past me. He drove up on the curb and drove through somebody's front lawn to make a right turn. Whoa. Yeah. And I was like, and Gus pointed out afterwards because he goes, that's the definition

of privilege. Like you're a white dude. That's the weirdest thing you've ever seen. A cop knew his drive across somebody else. Somebody else is lawn. I was like, that's a really good fucking point. Yeah. That's a really good point.

Still though, I'm pretty pissed about that about the cop driving over the lawn. I know I've had to I've had two It's in his work cops have pointed a gun at me. You read that No, I've been handcuffed once and they're gonna rest in hand cuff Why do you think I'm doing all street sign Galveston 69th Street my brother's girlfriend. She's fucking idiot You stole the 69th Street sign Yeah, I was like, why? I was like, why? Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why Nine, which is the sad nine. It's like a crush. Nine. What age were you when you first 69 someone? I don't know the two questions.

I'm gonna find out. That's a great question. Do you 69 someone or do you just participate in 69? No. Because all you can do is. Do you initiate or you can't only do half of that? First of all, you can six or nine. Which one are you?

The six or the nine? Where's the camera? Yeah. Good question. Too much multitasking. I mean, what do you guys add a time? I mean, you've only got a focus on one thing. No. You're gonna focus on two things.

Oh, yeah, I've really got to focus on getting sucked off. What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing?

What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? to do something too. You can't just, I think all you got to do is work on your end and try not to fop. Come on, right? Well, you do want to join Gav when you're not in a 69 and you're just getting regularly sucked off. You're not doing your taxes or anything else, like multi-cats. Although, that would be a great way to do taxes.

I would be looking forward to tax day. I was thinking I was close to doing it on that out of my account. Really not going to get there. I was thinking I was close to doing it on that album. You have to do my account. I'm really not gonna get there. We don't got like a 69 of these. Is April 15th gonna get here yet? Oh geez. Yeah. So what are you thinking about during that?

You're asking me when my date was. What do you think about during 69? I'm concentrating on what I'm doing here and I'm concentrating on what's going on here. But what? 69 sucks because you're concentrating. I'm concentrating on what I'm doing here and I'm concentrating on what's going on here. But what? 69 sucks, cause you're concentrating. What's your ratio? You're concentrating on doing something.

Well, you're also concentrating on receiving pleasure and you can't do it. But surely it's the worst position in the world. The six inches is actually completely stupid. It really is. But what's your focus? And you like 90 things. Like if you've got like five minutes and that's it.

It's like, well, we can't get you in Like between classes at school. Yeah, I don't know what how much like what percent are you focusing on one thing like you 90 and 10 I don't know. I didn't like it's not like a chess match where I'm like it The stopwatch thing then I don't know. I just think like You're concentrating on receiving and your concentration. You can't be 90% on getting sucked off and 10% on doing your job. It's probably 50-50. It's probably where the 69 come from. That's where it's 31. That's what it means. 69% of my intention is devoted. You give 69% of the

attention and 31% as you receive it. You know, it works out. Sometimes they'll clip out a bit of this podcast for Facebook, and it'll be like a quirky meme, little clip. You think this is gonna be that clip? I hope that could be. You're saying that that that won't be?

You're hoping this won't be it. Oh my God, no, I'm hoping it won't be. So I can't even tell you what the age was, and if first 69% had me college, had me. And did you make that move? You were married. Let's try something. What's that? I don't know. It is a move though, because it's a full rotation. I know, and you were changing positions. The other person sometimes tries to figure out like there's like a, it's almost like a lump bottle. Yeah. It's very.remarkable. It's very unremarkable. So that's it. Like, you're leading a little bit like,

I'll go this way or go that way, we're doing this. Sometimes the person goes upside in like, no, no, no, we're not going that way. We're going to. I feel like it's unremarkable to be like, 69. I think you're putting an order in. I'll take a number of 69. But the 69 move is like the full rotation.

So I guess you do have to discuss it beforehand because the person's like, where are you going? It's like, what could you do it while you're in her mouth? Like, there's someone in the outer booth over there. Sound like you're off under the window. Oh, they're in the booth. Oh my God. It's like, it would be like rotating like this, right? Yeah, like it's a like rotating like this, right? You're like, it's a bit spider on the pivot point.

That's it. It's a bit spider, that's it. It's a bit, yeah. I feel like you can feel like nine degrees of rotation. I'm a watering star, right? I feel like she tried to keep up for a while and then after a while, like, okay, so you've come around. Yeah.

Now, I feel like this, I mean, it's a dangerous move. If, yeah, it's complex. It seems overrated. I have a day overrated. I've already done the wrong way You know, you could slice your penis off You know what you really got to be careful of you know before you 69 is a proper grooming really Are we gonna go next sponsor by the way?

Oh, yeah, you have to buzz that every day. It's a shame that I'm every day is what I do. That's good.

It's a good thing. Thank you. Thank you. Do you think anyone has ever burned an ant through a magnifying glass with light bounced off their head? Oh, sure. And you can't get enough light bounce off your head. Oh, shit. And you're done. You can't get enough light bounced off your head, I don't think.

Why not? You can concentrate it enough. Yeah. And then concentrate it. Why have you had a polished head? I think your head, like, it doesn't reflect enough light for that. Yeah, it probably doesn't. I had a friend in college, he was Adrian, and he had shaved head. And whenever he crossed the big dorm here is gesture. How many people live in gesture?

Yeah, Maddie does You live there? Are you like a lease official here anything? She has a parking space but no That's her dorm, but he would cross the courtyard and gesture and the grackles would dive bomb his head Every time He would cross the courtyard of Jester and the grackles would dive bomb his head every time. Whether they're shining. Yeah, it would just like they'd make a run and just like dive in his head. He'd have to like scatter like and run like he was you know, avoiding bombs from a B-17 bomb or something like that. He's like, okay, one hand over his head and just running is fast. He's good. So I always thought it was funny. I left my ass up every time I saw.

Do you know I'm still? No, I don't. I'm trying to remember his last name. That'd be great in slow. Oh, that would be a thing to see. I can ask him. That happened to me one square. I was just walking and for like for no reason, like I'm just walking down the street and then like a pigeon flew right into my head.

David, I think what the fuck is wrong with you? You can fly anywhere. Why are you flying this low and then right at my fucking head? Stupid bird. Are you out of your field too if a bird a bird gets too close to you? You take a swatted it? Like, if I can grab a bird or hit, oh, totally with me. If a seagull or something comes near me, I try to hit them. Yeah, Lindsey said, I'm I'm punched a pigeon in Trafalgar Square.

Holy shit. First of all, first of all, there's a shit that a pigeon's in Trafalgar Square. Well, one legend everywhere. Well, I think they called a bunch of them. How do they do that? They just put their sons. It's just, oh, they have pro-lando pigeons. They have pigeons. You're not, you're not one. Get out of here. Get out.

Yeah, I just, the queen comes out and goes, all right, fuck off. I have to break it. They just couldn't handle it. They went back to mainland Europe. Went to Portugal. Got to fuck out of there. They are everywhere in Chicago Square,

Trafalgar Square, though. Yeah. I'm not even pronouncing that correctly. Trafalgar. Trafalgar. Trafalgar. to go to the fuck out of there. They are everywhere in Chicago square, Chicago square though. Yeah, I'm not even pronouncing that correctly. To hell, to hell, to hell, to hell, to hell. To hell, to hell, to hell. Yeah. But what else should we talk about? We're coming to the end of the podcast.

Let me show you. Are we coming to the end? Yeah, I got more about, let's talk about the man, the man, the coldies, the people. I know, I brought some pieces of paper here. We didn't, we didn't elaborate on the, on the bendy news. We, we did not and, and we'll save the best for last But yeah, I wanted to talk about

Lina but line though really excited. What's that? People are looking it up online. They're very. Thank you I'm glad I'm glad they're excited by the way. We have a lot of Affiliates RTO affiliates that already have been making like bendy music videos and some things like that these guys that The meatly games, whatever, they're a really cool group of guys. Mike Mood in particular is a guy that has a real pure heart. He's Canadian guy, so you know, he's like an awesome dude.

But more than the Bendy the English, and I want to really spotlight something that they're doing right now, which I think is really cool. They have this thing called the Mood Foundation. Mike and Jillian mood created the mood foundation is for independent game developers up in Canada, but honestly anybody that wants to learn or wants to be a part of a network, these guys are given back. And that's one of the reasons why I really like when I first met them, not only are they

making a really cool game that personally that, that, that, that, I personally, it's right up my alley, but, but there's also like a whole group of people that are really digging, bending the machine and there's already merchandise Jillian Mood, and the guys that work there along with folks like Fat Mojo that are their partners and merchandise and whatnot. They're giving back to the community, which is really cool. So the success that they have, that gives them a platform to spotlight other independent game developers, and that's what they're using their platform for.

And I think that's really freaking cool. So for the folks that are listening right now, look up the mood foundation. It's Mike and Jillian mood. It's the folks that are making Bindi and the machine. And if you're a budding game developer, you're an aspiring game developer, then by all means, you know, get in touch with folks. And there's a lot of resources out there for you if you want to make games. And there's a community of resources out there for you if you want to make games. And there's a community there.

And I think that's what it's really all about. I think, you know, when I came to Rooster Teeth, it felt like it's all about community, right? Even this year is about, is the year of community and whatnot. And building community is one of the most important parts of what we do. And it's really cool to see folks that are just now, you know, getting

some success or getting some attention. And the first thing that they do is they want to give back. And that's one of the things I wanted to spotlight in particular about the meatly games and the mood foundation. We're going to be revealing some more stuff later on throughout the year about Bindi and the ink machine. And I think that the folks out there are really going to love it. But that's enough. We can stop talking about Bindi and the Ink Machine. And I think that the folks out there are really gonna love it. But that's enough, we can stop talking about Bindi. If we wanna talk about any RT game stuff or whatever, I did have something and I'll leave this for you now.

We have our projects, it's, we have our projects. We have our projects. We have our projects. I don't want to get you. So don't say the code name or the secret name. If I may, why not? That's not the point.

You can do if you want to. It's just, I'm calling it project code name, but I also think the code name might imply something different too. Like people would hear it and think, okay, the guy, it's literally just an animal, right? You know, it's like, it's all war was Windows 10 or Windows, Windows, Windows,

it was Vista, wasn't it? But, but so here's the thing that we're doing with this project code name, whatever. It's sci-fi, first person shooter, It's set in the future. And right now, I'd love to get some audience feedback, if you don't mind. Could I do that? Please? I think this is the first time a lot of them are hearing about it. So, this is set so far in the future that there's, you know, language evolves. I don't know if you know this or not, but if you ever read the Canterbury Tales by Chaucer, whatever, the introduction of the Canterbury Tales is done in

middle English. It's in English. And it's like, wandered up on the shore of S Canterbury tells us done in middle English. It's in English and it's like wandered up on the short assault day, the druthramach and pass it to the rote and by that every van is sweetly, right? That's English, right? That's English from like 500 years ago, English. That's English that you should understand better than I understand. I mean, right? Anyway, the point is though, is that language is almost indescifable, except unless you know what I mean.

That said, we're trying to come up with some far future language. Got you, okay. So you're writing sound like a different language? That's just the occasional world. You still, language evolve. You're still gonna, it does evolve and you're still gonna have to, like, it's gonna sound somewhat like English. But here it's catch phrases, jargon, and so on.

And I've got some examples that are terrible and some that are good. And we mixed them up. And I'd love to get viewer votes or whatever. All right, you ready? Right. How are people going to give you feedback? You can just say, like, hey, I like that or that sucked or whatever. You know, feedback on the hashtag.

Or keep going. I guess. All right, there you go. The Nazi podcast hashtag is going to be just gibberish and nonsense. I love it. If you do something really cool in this game that we're making internally, right? Like something's really awesome. Something's, we're not gonna spoil anything about the game. Don't forget everybody. So I've got some, I've got some things. I'll give you, I'll give you one. You can, you can, you can do some of these. You can, you

can say some of these. Yeah. Give me one. I'm missing one. Oh, here we go. Take that one. You know, I got this one. All right. I like that you didn't like this one and gave it to me. Gavin. Thanks. Yeah. Oh, I was just passing down. So you read it. What I like to do is like, if you'll just read like the number first one on your card. You got to tell me like something good. It's awesome. Right. Webs. Mackie. Webs. Macky. There you go. That's not bad. Got mine. Curated by who, Janky? I like who, Janky.

I like who, Janky. It's what to say. Jiggy. What do you think? That's 90s. Thank you, Will Smith. You're welcome. I got Jiggy with it.

Some of these are terrible on purpose. We mixed some in there so that we could see if the audience was actually being All right, so what's another one? Sticky Oh, Poppy don't sluppie Yeah, that's perfect for you. Is that is that the first part of the word just like it's yep, not E but why? Shino slurping. Shino slurping. Oh my whistle a little bit on that. Do you hear that? Mm-hmm. Oh, man a little bit on that. Do you hear that?

Oh man, like my bottom teeth sometimes I whistle. Wanna talk? Do it again. I can't do it again. That's a problem. It's like a pottener rare card and GT-Tank. I can't do it record a whistle. So I don't know if anybody's liking these or not,

but this is what we're trying to come up with. You can see how hard this is by the way. These things don't just roll off the tongue. Yeah. Anyway, can you get some votes? I'm happy. I could get my belt. I'm happy. I'm happy. You can get my belt.

Get my belt. Right? By the way, that could be for like a machinery. It could be for what would this be for? It sounds pretty specific. Who got the meat? Oh, I'm sorry, I was watching an Arby's commercial. This one feels like a kind of like a brush off or a compliment.

She ate nothing but two dudes honking. Hey, right there. It's just two dudes honking. Hey, another but two dudes honking, man. That's it. That's all it is. Who janky? Come on.

Wap, smacky. So we could say that it's a sci-fi. Are they? And they saw the language that we've been using here is clearly sci-fi. Yes, yeah. You see what you're saying? I mean, you were saying this from your intro of it. I have a bad habit, David Eddings, of revealing information about things that were so skip secret.

Hop, thank you. So I just tell people, don't tell me, you know, because I might reveal on the podcast, but that's just to do talking as far as I can. Hey, that's all it is. It's nothing but to do talking. That's all right. Yeah. Why are you even worried about it?

Yeah, before we started the podcast, you said you were talking about this stuff and Bernie walked up and I said, Hey, we're talking about Project code name. Don't say the code name. You just say. I was like, I interrupted. It was like, stop. Hold on for a second. And I turned.

I like that it has a code name and a special code name just for Bernie to use. Yeah. Oh, but just to be clear though Maddie also said whatever you do Don't tell anyone in live action. I have a car. I was like, oh absolutely What if you get my fired what's that what if she gets fired now? I'm just gonna lie her way to another job Yeah, this company I mean, you know, I'm just gonna lie your way and do another job.

I'm probably out of this company. I'm probably out of this company. This is their second time here. It's an intern. Yeah. Yeah. No, but this is their second intern job here. Yeah.

Yeah, that's true. Yeah. They're just changing your name. You'll be good to go. You'll be fine. It's gonna mustache. Like, no, I'm, I'm, I'm muddy. You know, be funny.
