I'm Gavin. I'm John. I'm Barbara. That was so fast. And I'm Gus. You did that without a telephone. There's a hair on my mic. Oh, I've done, there it is.

I've done that read there. Oh, it was an eyelash. I've done that read so many times that I know. Actually, I was reading it, then I picked real fast. What was like, what does it say on the lower third? Okay, it's the financial details one. Like I can go. I had to do that last week. Oh, actually Eric did it for me.

For some reason, he thought I said, Eric do it for me, but I said, I gotta do this before the show starts. And so the camera was on me, you ready to do the ExpressVPN rate, and then he started reading it when the camera cuts me. But it was great, because he could see the copy,

and I couldn't, so it worked out. I'm gonna make a weird confession that is gonna just tell you volumes about it, my stupidity and mundanity. I like memorizing lines and words. Like I like that act. I know, I know what saying that seems like. It's like, what a goddamer.

Why would you torture yourself with that? I like it. It's something about that act of just the repetition and taking something and writing on your mind. I love that. I love it. It's fantastic. We've got to give you more lines and stuff then.

Like I, You heard it here. You give all the exposition dialogues. No, I do. I actually like we are presenting a bunch of our podcasts on this presentation thing. And they're for advertisers to try to buy space and he's like that.

And so they asked me to be the host of this presentation. There's a bunch of prerecorded stuff. And the top of it was a two paragraph long monologue about the roost, our network, and all that kind of stuff. And I memorized it, and I really liked memorizing it. And it tickles the part of my brain that sends like serotonin and stuff. I don't know why.

I keep showing, remember it. Go. No, I don't remember it. I love this point. It's so awesome. In chat, Voshtha stampede says a true theater kid. Once the vote is read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the trial

with Councilor Eidley. I'll read the votes. But that's every part. This is something completely different. But in survivor and we'll talk about this later. I'm sure I have memorized. So Jeff Prope says the same thing for every action in the show. Like step by step, like when he's getting them in for the

challenges, he looks down and says, come in and guys, every time. When he does the votes thing, he says it the same way, the same thing every time. And I have to say it with him. That's why I just even show up. Why don't they just like clip? Like from previous seasons.

At this point, they should have like, they should be able to reconstruct him, like a 3D version. And he's like, he said enough things where they can make him say anything. It's a good polygraph. They could just cut to him on a single, but just have someone different and all the wides.

And I didn't think I'd be able to. No, definitely not. One, I loved that part. That was probably my only part of on the spot that I loved. The memorization? The memorization of just spouting out the rules of the game and everything like that. I like that.

But two, you just made me think about something with the talking about like of these issues. Clips of him, I saw another like nightmarish clip, or an article that was highlighting a new development in deep fake technology. For good use, but as deep fake technology improves, it still scares me. Doesn't matter how much the good uses, but they were using it for re-dubbed movies,

changing the lips to actually follow the doubts as well. And they were using a clip from, what's the Jack Nicholson, you can handle the truth. Good for you, good man. Few good men. They were using that as a clip and showing another language and they changed Jack Nicholson's mouth. They're match the line.

There was one film, one Miyazaki film, I forget which one, it was either spirited away or Princess Monon, okay, I want to say was spirited away, where when they wrote the English translated script for the voice actors to do, they tried to write it in a way that matched the Japanese animated mouths. So it's like, yeah. It's like slightly changed what was being said, but- But they only do that a little bit.

I think they do that with a lot of stuff. Oh, do they? Oh, maybe I thought a lot of times like it just doesn't necessarily sync up. But I know for a fact in that one, it's like they made sure that the script was written to match up with the mouths. I'll match that with another interesting dubbing fact.

Do you remember, I'll match your fact. That's what we do in our arti podcast, right? We're all supposed to just... Fact, math, right? So you need to follow up after me, Barb, okay? Okay, fuck, I'll start thinking about the fact. I fold. No, see you in the next one.

I'm with him. I'm called, fuck. You remember St. Grinning, the dumb blue cartoon? Yeah, I loved it. They originally named... Frisbee and the Ratson. She's the Frisbee. She's Mrs. Frisbee. But then when they made the movie, they're like, we can't just have people saying Frisbee in the retzonym. She's the Frisbee. But then when they made the movie, they're like,

we can't just have people saying Frisbee a brand of a toy over and over again. So that's why in the movie, the secret of name, and they had already animated it and they had already even recorded most of it. And so you watch it, they had changed to Miss Brisbee to fix that.

But it was like a later on, like someone came in and was like, can't just say like, but it's F-R-I-S-B-Y. It's not E-E, right? But they were saying, I'm sorry. This is the fact that I heard from some documentary where it said like it was Frisbee,

they changed it because of the toy because they couldn't just say Frisbee over and over again. Or they didn't want it, maybe they didn't want it, maybe that's the phrase. In the notebook. Yes. They actually, fun fact, they filmed the movie backwards because Ryan Gosling had to play a younger, less lean version of himself because the movie happens over a course of time.

Oh, it's a little frumpy at the end. At the end, he's a little more muscular, more big, rugged and stuff like that. And he lost weight and muscle mass to play a younger version of himself at the beginning of the movie, so they actually filmed it backwards. Next. That is really good. That's the opposite of Castaway. Castaway they filmed it.

They filmed it forwards. That's the opposite of what they did. Castaway they took a big break in the middle for Tom Hanks to get, yeah, because that's where it was. He looked how he was and then he's on the island for, I don't know how long he was on the island. Four years? No. Five years. They needed him to like get skinny from being like, you know, starved on the island, get a tan and get toned and so they took a break. And four years. And then he did that for you. And did that. Look at that. Wow. You learned to, don't ever, don't let

anyone ever tell you this is not educational. Don't let anyone tell you that we get the facts wrong about anything ever here. Kevin, how much weight did you have to gain for a laser team? Um, six pounds, but only in my genital region. And then it was cut from the movie. It was. Oh yeah. You were, oh man, you were walking around that thing hanging out of your pants during, right? I hope you guys remember that.

You're gonna clarify what you're talking about. Yes, Gavin's character in the first laser team movie, or I guess technically both, cause you're playing the same character in both, is supposed to just have like a comically large dick. Yes. And so they gave him a prosthetic. A prosthetic, which would just be like,

I guess cause it was more comfortable just hanging at it's actual. Yeah, the downside to it was that it would smush my regular penis out to the side. So it never looked right. I either had like a big long shlong with like a two bulges because one was my real pulse. So just in between, I would just pull it out

because it was comfortable to walk around without it smashing my genitals down. You were pulled out the other one accidentally? Whoops! Sorry that was... That was a good time. You can just tell people it was deep-paked. Yeah, and then the second one I don't think I even wore it. I think it probably got it. It was completely cut from the movie. Where's your U. see my, your sound?

Just like you and blood fest. Yeah, oh, I was the dick that was cut out of blood fest. Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. There you go. Thank you, Mike.

It's much fancier than my room. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a weird one. That was a lot more fun. Yeah, yeah. So, um, oh, I should mention this thing. I got something in the mail and there was no note with it. So, you know, we get mail here at the studio and there was a box that someone had sent me via UPS, I think, and I opened it up. And it was this.

Wait, that It's like a what how would you describe this is like trying to tell you that you're a lot to handle oh Looks like a big handle a big handle C shaped handle for a giant covered. What is that there was no note in the box Something that would be on the on the side of a vehicle so you can step up into it. What the hell is that? And yeah, it's just like it's kind of rubber. It's a little flimsy and lurish something that would be on the on the side of a vehicle so you can step up into it. What the hell is that? Yeah, it's just like it's kind of rubber. It's a little flimsy and loose. Yeah, oh, oh, oh, I thought it was It's metal this whole time. Is it like the tips are metal like where it connects to whatever it attached to You can see there's like little holes for it to screw onto something Is it maybe like a USB-4 cable

And a lot of technology So I dug around in the box and under one of the cardboard flaps was this little dirty piece of paper So I started looking at this little dirty piece of paper to figure out what the hell this object was And apparently this is a part of a Boeing 737. Oh This is a plane part. This came off of a US Airways plane that flew between 1990 and 2017

before it was taken apart. But where? But I don't know what part this is. It wasn't just sent me like a random 737 part. And it's just like, what if that's just the, uh, the handle they had in the restroom to help you get up off of the seat?

Yeah, what if it's like, there's a, like, a bug gas something. There's a part number on here. I got like I don't know maybe it's the staring whale It was removed by Jimmy. It says I guess it's like this is the Full-fetched every bit every piece You can't just like God just blow it up throw it up. It's got the serial number the tag number the part number Someone's saying it's a wave guide. Yes, it does say wave guide, but what does that mean? I could, have you Googled what wave guide is?

Yeah, I did, where is it? There's a little tag right here. It says, wave guide, engineering, and manufacturing. I thought that was a company maybe. Wave guide. Everyone keeps saying wave guide, wave guide. Yeah, people are saying wave guide. What is a wave guy?

We're on the way. It's trying the radio system. Usually radar, usually radar. Radar. This looks just like I thought someone used this to climb in and out like from a maintenance app. You should be careful with it because a plane might try and land on you. Especially you keep shaking it like that. So yeah, I don't know what post some photos on it and the black box down, social media or something

cool. I don't know if this is black box down related at all, but are you guys going to talk about the rocket from China at all? Oh yeah, that just happened didn't it? I guess not mean? This is not airplane related. We have a black box. Aeronautics.

Spacecraft is totally different. I don't like, I don't understand that nearly the same. But that's interesting. I mean, stuff always comes back, right? Or well, not always, but stuff will, a lot of times come back to Earth. And it's just, I guess, irresponsible the way that it came back. Like, it wasn't in a controlled manner. Well, didn't something happen with like the, like, when it was ascending?

Yeah, they said there was some kind of malfunction. And like, it came off too early or too late or something like that. The crazy part to me about all that was how they don't know when it's going to crash or where it's going to until like at the very end they're like, there's like this long wave all around the earth is like it's going to happen somewhere around here.

We'll know as the time goes closer. I definitely saw a video about it online at like one in the morning when I was already feeling kind of anxious. And I was just like, I'm gonna watch some videos just to kind of like relax and like whatever. And then it's just like, there's a rocket that's hurtling from space. Nobody knows when or when it's where it's gonna land. So enjoy.

I'll be honest, I left my house twice and looked up just to get for a while. Like one of the potential lines came over like that's what I saw that was like I probably just glanced the sky when I go out just a case I know how like what's what to what end? Glancing the sky fuck up. Just see if you see anything. You don't want to go out of the way You don't want to be caught off god if you're gonna be crushed by 10 story railing You want to be able to see it because it look cool. Don't want to see it because if I don't see it then then there is there's no moment my that were my bodies aware of it

And we just we just say bye-bye to John and John doesn't realize Everybody knows you know you like you see like nest doorbell footage of people walking out and slipping on ice And it's funny all that the drop delivery person drops the peat is right against the door. Yeah, I just think the same kind of footage But just like Shit learn a metal from space. Just like, obliterated a moustacheoed man he didn't see it coming. It was moments like that, though,

that I know that I could explain that my anxiety is unreasonable, where it's just like, am I really anxious about this rocket hitting me? Out of every single fucking place it could hit on this earth, which is what, 95% of the ocean? One of the lines did come through like Central Texas.

I know I know, but it's like you're not healthy. I'm not a kid. Are like microscopic like it's not gonna happen. Yeah, but it was non zero. Everything is non zero right? I mean, to an extent, but it is a good point. There are how many people seven something billion people. Something like that. Yeah. And that's just taken into account the pieces of Earth occupied by humans

Right, which we are counting like I'm going to the ocean exactly exactly so but still Yeah, they did end up what crash like 27 miles from Yeah, mildees it was about 27 miles away from where people actually did live So yeah, even though the ocean does cover that much Those people had a much great date. They almost got here. So it's so it's like it's crashing. Yeah, okay Yeah, it was a Saturday Saturday and I'm going to go back today. We're all fine. That was a fish somewhere that was Yeah, there was some other fish saying there's a non-zero chance you're gonna get hit Wham run the little fish.

The fish like, it's probably gonna hit a human somewhere on left. I think I could almost, at this point, think about that line of reasoning you went through with watching that video that way. I can now almost like pinpoint, when did John get his anxiety? And it was a day that my science teacher in third grade

told us that someday the sun is going to explode and it's gonna all exist. And it doesn't matter that they said it was like, it's gonna be millions of years from now, my brain went, we're all gonna die, everything's going away. And I just went straight down this anxiety riddled nihilistic hole. But the sun is good when it's exploding. We like it exploding right now. Right. If it goes out, that's the bad bit. That's the bad bit. Or if it goes supernova. But that one, I don't think.

I feel like that might be a common fear when you teach kids stuff like kids. I think kids don't understand time like that. No. Yeah, it's like. Well, I mean, you are the center of your own universe. So like, if you hear about anything happening or the possibility of something happening,

you think about, oh, that's gonna happen to me. Well, I'm the center of a lot of universes. I just wanna make sure I'm here. You are my son and stars, Gus.

Did I tell you that I had a I had a dream a couple of years ago that I wasn't in like I wasn't even the main character right? I've had I've had those before. So you were just watching other people yeah, it was like a movie, but like I didn't play any part. Do you do you think that maybe you stole someone else's dream? I think so.

I think you were waving that around that I picked up someone else's way to try to pick it up. Yeah, I put this on my head and you put your head on the other one. Yeah, I'll take your dreams. That was the plot of a failed but still published TV movie based on Generation X, an X-Men title. Oh. This was like prior to anything successful in Marvel and I think that as far as movies and TV, but they had a, a, you see, there are movie or a mini series that was Generation X and the villain made a machine that allowed him to travel through people's dreams.

Looks pretty crookin. and the villain made a machine that allowed him to travel through people's dreams. Like Freddy Krueger. And Nightmares. Yeah, but it wasn't as scary as that. It was more like he went there to like steal secrets and stuff. And he also got an inception, which is all about that, right? Well, two or a degree. Jim carries the riddler and Batman forever. The king himself.

There's no original ideas, then. Everyone just stole everyone else's idea. They're still there. The generation X TV film was original Gus, okay, we have to have one because it has come from somewhere Speaking of original things I solved a mystery recently Congratulations very proud of this. Oh, this is something I brought up a couple of times on the podcast Yes, I kept finding little

Letters around my house. We hear about this, Sean. I think I heard about this. It's tiny. How big is that? Like, maybe a centimeter? Tell like a little N. Yeah, I found the letter B, the letter N, and the letter S. Like, all over the course of a couple of months.

I mean, maybe it's a little... Transfold bonus. Yeah. And I just couldn't figure out where these letters were coming from. And a week or two ago, I'm gonna try like two weeks ago, two or three weeks ago, in my living room under, or like right next to the coffee table, there was a letter O. I was like, oh shit, the letters are back. You literally texted me and Gavin saying, oh, shit, they're back. They're back.

So then at this point, we're at B-N-S-O. And then like, Fongos. Snob. And then like, five minutes later, I found another O on my couch. Snube. So it was B-N-S-O-O. And at this point, once I found the second O,

I knew exactly where all these letters were coming from. It came together. As soon as I found that second O, knew exactly where all these letters were coming. Oh came together It all came as soon as I found that second oh I think I think two minutes after you said they're back being like I figured it out. I was so happy Bns oh oh It was my shorts Bonobos what Little raised letters those were short, they were blue shorts

I was wearing that day. Oh, they didn't get stuck in the washing machine. They were actually just shedding out in the world. Out in the world, as you can see, BNS, oh, oh. Oh. Oh. Did we ask if you had any clothing that had lettering on our shoes?

And you're like, no. I don't think I did. I don't, I own a couple. I guess on the back, it's hard to really think. Right, and plus I own a couple pairs of shorts from that company. This is the only pair that has raised letters like that. None of my other shorts from that brand.

That's a good sign for, because, surely whenever you bend over, it's gonna strain the tops of bulbs of each letter and ping them off. That must be why, you've been bending over a lot. Yeah. Did you just peel the other two letters off by yourself? No, just do it.

No, just do it on the other side. off by yourself? No, just don't want to. This is still there. So then once I figured that out, you know, Esther asked, I can tell a story in the podcast, she said, yeah, and she said, is it just gonna seem like some really lame, like advertised? Yeah. I'm marketing, you probably buy a notebook.

If anything, it's only. If only you got papers. Hand-site marketing, because someone's like, why do I want those shorts? The letters are just gonna... Shut everywhere. They're great shorts, but yeah.

I mean, by the ones that don't have the raised letters on them. That's a nice satisfying ending to that mystery. Yeah, at least, like, it's super anti-climate. There's not- there wasn't anything fantastic. There's nothing crazy about it. It's just like, oh yeah, it was my shorts the whole time. Because I had a mystery once that was just never solved. Remember when I had that little puddle that kept showing off in that same spot in my apartment? Never figured it out. Never figured it out.

Oh, you still did to this day? No, I don't know, there's no anyone. Maybe it came from your shorts? I think something something we should do is the three of us should start planting other letters. In Gus' sounds, they're at the same shape and sizes. That would require us to actually have ever set foot inside of this. It's true. No, never. I've gotten close to being inside your house. Oh yeah, you picked something up there.

That's what I was close to. I got close to the new house. I was in the new house. Several houses, yeah. Yeah. One time ago. Yeah. No.

Whenever I moved to Austin, I think I visited UNS for one time. Like that for sure. The old school house. Yeah. I had a crazy little coincidence happened. Nothing happened, but a little discovery. The other day, when Jeff and I were doing that stream,

the bleep face stream, it just came up in conversation about how we wished that Let's plays were online when we were kids because one of my favorite games as a child was Abe's Odyssey, which was one of like on the first PlayStation demo disc or something, had like a nice little demo and I had. Well that wasn't on the original Xbox. It was a bunches Odyssey. I mean, it was Xbox. Yeah, yeah. Apes Odyssey was like 1997, or something. Yeah. So I would just, I didn't have a PlayStation.

I'd go to my friend's house and I would just play the demo for Apes Odyssey over and over and over again. And then I bought the game on the PC because I didn't have a PlayStation. And when this was years later, and I just loved the game, it was like one of those games you play as a kid, you just fall in love with it. Yeah.

I played it so many times. And then they put out a sequel called Apes Exodus, but I couldn't afford it because I was like 10. So I was just like, oh man, I guess I'll just keep playing Aebs Odyssey. And I was really trying to find a friend who had Aebs Exodus and never knew anyone who had it. And then in 2014, they re-released Aebs Odyssey and they called it Oddworld New and Taste. It was like a PlayStation 4 version remake of the first game. And then last week we just came up a conversation on the stream. And I was like, I'm talking about Apes Odyssey. I was like, oh shit, why didn't they remake Apes Exodus remaster?

Because now I can afford it. Yeah. So I was just like Googling around. I was like, oh, it seems they announced a game called Oddworld Soulstorm in 2016. And's gonna be a reimagining of Abe's Exodus, but it never came out. And I was like, oh wait, it came out last week. Wow. And I was like, what's the chances that I'm like for the first time in years, thinking about A-Sword-C, and there's a new Oddworld game for me to play. Oh, like you go.

And I bought it, and I've been playing it. I had that same like nostalgic feel. Like, you know, when you play something new, but it feels exactly how it did when'm in playing it. I had that same nostalgic feel. You know when you play something new, but it feels exactly how it did when you were a kid. And I was just like, it's a new ape. And I was just really excited and I love it. It's a... Do you think if you had, let's place this a kid and we're able to see the whole walkthrough

of the entire game you would have cared at all anymore? Or because you hadn't... Yeah, I just feel like, if there's any franchises I love to the kid, I'm just gonna get them no matter what. Yeah, they're just therein. It was the same when I played Super Mario Odyssey. What was the new one? Yes.

Odyssey, yeah. Yeah, another Odyssey. I was gonna say you were questioning whether or not another Odyssey. But I hadn't played like Sunshine or Galaxy. I just played Marys 64 and I didn't play a 3d Mary game for years And then when I played Odyssey, I was like He has all the same moves as Mary 64 and I was just like jumping around I'm doing like the triple jump and side flips. I was like I just feel so right, but it looks so good

It's such an exciting feeling to me. It's such a good. It's such a good looking game. It's a great looking game But anyway, Oddworld Soulstorm's really fun and out now. A world soul storm. Yeah. I hit something similar happened years ago, years ago, like in the early 2000s before Rupert's teeth. Remember, once I was like driving around my car in Austin, and I was thinking of like, what was, there was a look at band that was popping the late 90s better than Ezra. And I was like, you know, a lot of bands come through. I was like, oh, I wonder if they were gonna play a show in Austin. I'd like to see them in concert.

So I went home, looked it up online. I was like, oh, they just played last week. I mean, so we were literally in town two days ago. And I can't wait. You just like come back around at the same time as something happens. I got the opposite of that, which was a good experience with something like that, where it's just a band that I had known for ever since, like,

high school and I feel like that. But I've, my majority of my life has been defined by not having money to spend on much recreation. I've lived quite a paycheck to paycheck kind of life. And even growing up, my father's a pastor, not exactly a lucrative industry in the day. Nowadays, you can be quite a rich pastor. He's a rich pastor, and he's gone too.

OK, sorry. I don't know what that song was. You're a rich girl. Oh, OK. I don't know why it came to mind. I went. I went. I went. Um, so.

No singing. No. If you call that singing, I have questions. Yes. More hold on. No, you talk about like, you couldn't like just go and buy any game you want. And same thing, I very limited limited experience of view games growing up, just like whatever was available is what I got to play, you know, that was on sale or cheap,

or some of my parents could afford. Anyways, didn't go to very many concerts, didn't go to that, do those kind of things growing, because just didn't have money for that kind of thing. But then I started dating someone just before the pandemic hit us, like the September beforehand, and she managed to get in February, right before we all, she'll never start it. She got tickets to go see dashboard confessional. And I am such a little emo boy who loved dashboard confessional all my life, ever since high school and from like that.

And so it's funny thing that I've liked this guy since I was 15. And I saw him when I'm 35. I've probably seen him much sooner. But it still managed to be one of the most magical moments ever because it was during February of 2020, I guess. And it was freezing and we were an outdoor concert. It actually started like snowing a little bit during the concert, which was cold but magical.

When snow was still magical, I'm not trying to kill us. I was doing one year. But it was like coming full circle of like being a fan of this for forever and just find like, oh, I finally saw them in concert, this band that has been around for ages. That's cool. You've completed that question now. I have.

I saw years ago when I was still in college. I saw you two in concert in Houston. And it was the strangest opening acts leading up to like this U2 concert. The first opening act was Mazy Star. I was like, like fade into you. Oh, yeah, fade into you. Like, Oh, yeah, yeah. And I was like, okay, and this is like kind of like moody, low energy stuff. The next opening act was Smash Mouth. Little bit of a tonal shift. So I've seen Smash Mouth

in concert because I opened for you to and used it. And then it was you to, it was like the weirdest concert lineup ever. We saw it Smash Mouth live. Because of, because of kind of funny prom. That's a kind of funny prom. They had Smash Mouth. Yeah. Did they really? Yeah. I don't know if I need that.

Wait, it was the singer of Smash Mouth. I want to say the singer and like one band member. Yeah. But they say played. Yeah. And you know, just the mouth. It's just the mouth part now. Smash mouth I don't think we like smash mouth anymore because it's like I think they turn out to be like

Oh, does something happen? I think they supported some some things. We don't support Or at least the lead singer did but still seeing smash mouth like they played like all the hits But the funny thing was that they didn't play Was it All Star? Yeah. They did at the end. Oh no, until the end, but they played like 10 songs. And every time they got to a new song, and it wasn't All Star, they're just like, come on!

Yeah. You would think that that would be their opening. Yeah, and so since it wasn't their opening, they were like, it's our closer. People will leave if we play this song, okay? It's pretty cool. This is the most random place to be seeing a band that you listen to as a kid I thought Cisco at that kind of funny life. Yeah, there you go Yeah, it's like some kids. I was like backstage and like Cisco was there like oh my god I was gonna say like it seems like kind of funny is friends with a lot of like

90s and early 2000s superstars. They just pull stunts with 90s and 2000s. That's who sculpted them. Yeah, well, I mean me too, you too, probably. Yeah, my way of doing stuff. My way of doing it. You as well. I was, because I feel like you, you end up do, if you go to events like that, you end up

seeing live music that you would never intend to go to. Like the opening acts. Yeah, like I went to see a stand up comedian called Peter K. in England, but Rick Hassley was the warm-up. And that was one of the first, I think it was the first live music I ever saw was Rick Hassley singing, never gonna give you up. What year was that?

Was it a meme at that point in? No, it couldn't have been. No, I think it already, I think Rick Rollin' had already been around. Oh, okay, it was, it was 2000s. And the other one was, I was at the Streamies. And Starship just came out and started singing a, we built this city.

What's that? What's the other one? What's the other Starship hit? Um, the, they played two. I recognized both songs. Yeah. The two that probably everyone would work in. Yeah, that's like,

No, if you've got a movie mannequin. Yeah, that's the one. Nothing's gonna happen. No, he's gonna You know, I think you're gonna Yeah, from the movie, Man, I tell you, I tell you everyone was on their feet. People standing on the chairs. It was ape shit. I was like, this is an experience that I don't think I could have Saw out myself because I don't think I'm gonna be like Starship at the streamies too.

It's probably different now with a lot of like younger creators Starting up, but like the streamies used to be all people kind of around our age who grew up with the same type of music and TV and movies and everything like that. So you just put a band that everyone listened to when they were younger and you get people to go apeshit. It's probably like Smash Mouth that kind of funny. It's just like, yeah, here's a bunch of millennials. So I think it's also the Smash Mouth thing.

It also is like, what's a band we could afford? What's what's someone that our budget can can get we can't get you to Well, maybe now it's smash-mouse Yeah, people with a chat until we're at pizza cake. It was actually for the The DVD recording of that stand-up tour I know that was I think I've mentioned this before at the beginning he grabs one of the cameras Because he's in front of the big screen. It was like O to arena It was like you know that the old Millennium don't massive venue and he just pulls out a camera He's just so zooming in on people in the audience like look at her and then he goes

And he shot he put it right on me and my brother We're just like I think I showed that clip on the podcast before or like found it Yeah, it's on the TV on the DVD Yeah, but it we've shown that clip on the podcast before or like found it Yeah, it's on the TV. Oh, did it made the tag on the DVD? Yeah, but it's like there were thousands of people. There were, I don't know what, like what is the, I don't know how many people fit inside the O2 arena. Oh, that's big. It is.

I want to see. Ten thousands. Yeah, I want to say 30. 30,000. It's huge. Yeah. The chances of that is national. It could only zoom so far.

So he is zooming in on like probably 15 people. Yeah, we are in that frame. I was like, what the chance is that is I mean, I can only zoom so far so he is zooming in on like 20,000 probably 15 people Yeah, we are in that frame. I was like what the chances of that. That's crazy. Yeah, that's bonkers.

We looked at before we did RTX London, you know, when we were doing site visits, like, O2 Arena is one of the places that we looked at

at possibly having the event there. Really? Yeah. It's close by, isn't it? It's like, right, yeah, right across the water there from Excel. It was expensive, but that venue is so cool. So we did like the tour, like the backstage stuff, like all the technical things. And like there are hidden rooms backstage. It's like there's hidden rooms that lead to hidden rooms. It's like security. Yeah. Is it like back a house kind of? Yeah, it's like, oh, like here's the fake fake green room and then if you pass through this door over here. Here's another one But if you want to like escape from people who maybe have come in here You just do this and then you can go into this other room It's like rooms after rooms after room. Yeah, it's like all the way through it's like

I'm in this place. I bet you I bet you loved that. Oh, you know, I did Yeah, I bet you all over that. I've always wanted to have like secret rooms in my house Or is like a bookcase or something that blocks these off And this is like the idea of you getting just every door is a bookcase. Why is this so many bookcases? I just have a lot of reasons. I just like I love reading But yeah, it's it's it's that's one of those like interesting experiences like I never would have imagined that that's a place I would go to and see things like that. Yeah. Like it's such an iconic venue.

There's so many things that have happened there. So why don't we do it there? Two chances. Well, it was expensive, but also it's like the way it's a great venue, but there's no like big panel rooms. Like if we were going to have big panels, they would have to be on the floor of O2 and they would have to have like multiple, like the sound would bleed over. Yeah. Into different, uh, panellums. It's a good cause. Right. For the way that we do events,

it just didn't work. Yeah. I had, uh, an interesting experience at the last, aren't the excellent we had. I don't, I think you guys are there. I don't think you were there. Maybe the last London, the last one was the last one you were where I don't know what was going on. I was having like, got issues for like a week or two leading up to it You're shitting no shitting no shitting zero shitting Well, maybe not zero, but not enough basically is what it comes down to And then like one of the days during the event I started feeling like like headed and weak and like I was gonna Throw up and I went to they had like an emergency clinic in the convention center. And they were like, yeah, you know,

you have a bit of a temperature, so it could be like an intestinal infection. So you should probably go to like the emergency care. And so I had to do that instead of going to the VIP party. And they had given me some medication for the next day to take. And so I had to basically tell everyone on every panel that I was on, hey guys, I might shit myself at a rate of his pants. So I just pretend like nothing's happening and just go about your day. I did it happen.

Luckily later in the evening. I got sick one year when we were at Acon in Dallas, and I had to tell everyone like, I may have to run off the panel and rent to go vomit. But if I I'll be right back. You did and then I did like part way through the panel I got really sick and it's like I had to bolt it out of there I know where I had found the closest bathroom backstage ran to the bathroom vomited They came back out like all right. All right. I got it out. I was there I was in the audience for some reason that one was like 2006 or something five or six somewhere around there. Yeah, you just got up you're just like

I think mainly like walked in that panel too. It was an eventful panel Have you gotten sick at a convention before John? I don't know my voice went so high John, I don't know how my voice went so high. Thank you for the question. Thank you for the question. I don't think I have any nightmare stories like that. I, I, you're talking about all that, like, you know, having to get sick and I think that I wish, it's a weird thing to say, but I wish I was a better vomitor.

I envy someone like Michael Jones, who I have. I have it. You think Gavin also right there where You can just vomit and then somehow continue Whereas if I ever get to that point it's it's just like sending my body through a gauntlet of people with bats just hitting me. And like, I'm somebody who often pops blood vessels in my eye when I'm vomiting and that kind of thing. I used to be a terrible vomiter.

Then it's not something I'm gonna practice. I wanna point that out first, okay. We're not practicing this. We're just wishing for better. For the next time, use Gus's tip. Yeah, in my early 20s, I drank way too much and I got plenty of practice to get better at it. See, I know this is that I've lived too sober of a life.

And then it was just like, it's almost mental. It's like, I know if I get this out, I'm gonna feel better and everything's gonna continue. It's like, I just gotta go do this. All right, cool, let's go, let's keep going. But I probably, the same as you, John, where I think I've thrown up maybe on average once a year, most like it's only when I get really bad migraines and I throw up because the pain is so bad.

But it's like the process of getting to it, like knowing you're going to be throwing up because you're feeling sick and just like that anxiety and then when you actually throw up, it's like, I'm done for the next like eight hours. I feel like a lot of time when I vomit, it's always in the middle of something that I have to keep going with. Yep. That's insane. That's what you put extra life for.

You have vomited. You're so good at it. You've been paid to vomit quite a few times. I'm so sick. In that you have been on the clock and have been compensated for the vomiting. Well, I'm just... Party we were at one.

Sorry, innit? It's for real. There's a party. You have to have done it during some non-charity time, right? Well, I mean, Party we were at one There's a party you have to have done it during some non charity time, right? Emotion You made me vomit Well, I mean, I think the car made you vomit and I probably didn't help because you know There's the food the food the food the meal in particular didn't help. But there was like a party we were at years ago, probably like eight, seven or eight years ago, where Gavin was like very drunk. A lot of us were. And he was just like, I don't feel good. And then he

literally goes, and there's just like a vomit like into a trash can. And then he's like, well, like it was like it didn't happen. It was like, but it was just like a vomit like into a trash can. And then he's like, well, like it was like it didn't happen. It was like, but it was just like anyone got a gum. Anyway, Aaron's deck still compliments me on that vomit. You come over the other night when she saw me. She's like that night when you just threw up so casually, I was like, she still thinks about it. Yeah. Yeah. And we have to get off this conversation because now I get the point where I'm thinking too much about vomit and it's making me sick. Did you see that video?

I got a practice job. I got a practice. That armored car, the attempted robbery on an armored car from South Africa. Yup, shit dude. Yeah, it's like at first they released just like an interior cabin footage. But then they had the external. But then yeah, then they, like a week later, they's like at first they released just like an interior cabin footage But then they have the external but then yeah, then they like a week later

They showed like the external camera and it's like GTA I mean like the guys like driving through people who are trying to shoot him and yeah going around obstacle Not him and trying to spin him around way he's like driving towards a car That's like clearly in the way meant to block them and there's just people like running away in the other direction And then he's like clearly in the way and to block them. And there's just people like running away in the other direction. And then he's like, yeah, he's gonna shoot. And like you can see the bullets just like slamming it all down the side of the window. It's like, what happened to get away?

Yeah, yeah, they're still at large looking for them. But I read a new story about it. And like if you watch the interior footage, like you know after a while, like they stop and then they get out of the truck. I guess like what they're planning at that point was, was they were gonna prepare and be ready for them. They were setting up like defenses to get into a gun fight

with the robbers, but they never showed up. Like the people who were trying to rob them just took off. Wow. I guess like that person who was driving was like a former SWAT instructor with like the police himself, Africa. He kept his cool. Yeah. That's like, really? He was like watching a movie out right now about armored car, uh, people with a guy richie starting Jason Statham,

a man. Of course, of course. Well, that's about, that's about, it's about armored car guards. course, of course. Well, that's about, that's about, it's about our armored car guards. But that, that video is nuts to see like, and then like you said, like you see the, the glass like shattering where the bullets are hitting it, like any one of those would be it.

And like, guys, just, real calm, what did you say? Like, but he's tells the guy to pull up his, the past, the past, we pull out a gun, he pulls out like the hangers, like, no, no, the big one. Yeah, yeah, does he like help him with this? He's driving and instructing the other guy on what to do

while dealing with what now we can see an external view is like cars in the way of trying to save him. You really can't see much from just the internal view but it just looks like the driver's good apeship because his hands, that's the guy, you see the bullets hit that window there. But his hands are just all over the place. It looks like someone really overacting, you know, when people are then to the right

of the movies, because his arms are like, he's getting knocked the fuck around. He's just like doing good work. He's like slamming into them, like doing U-turns. It's like, jeez. At one point there's the car parked, I guess, like on the highway to stop them. And they're like, swerving around or something. Damn. We should recreate that for a GTA video.

I'm just kidding, that's very insensitive. I'm not doing that. No, yeah, that was wild to see that. Yeah, it's absolutely crazy. I kind of imagined being in that scenario. Like his passenger, like he said, the driver's doing everything and like helping the, the coworker was like, the coworker,

I just got to feel like that would be me on my first day. Like, oh shit, like this is real. I thought you were just gonna drive around. Which gun you want? And then I'll rock it from China, cuz down. It's just a lands right on you. Oh, well, it's amazing. Like with just cameras everywhere now, all the different things you can see.

Except the rocket actually landing. Didn't know when actually capture it. I guess, what was like 27 miles out in C right? Yeah. That sucks chances are we weren't going to get it if it landed in the ocean. Maybe a boatman. A boatman saw. Be a lot of waves. I wonder how big the piece was that finally like hit the ground or the hit the water. Because it breaks up to it right I can't believe yeah, it disintegrates a false apart mm-hmm Space left a left a real mess up that it's just a bunch of shit up. Yeah orbiting the earth. That's like the premise of a

Korean film Space sweepers. Oh, yeah Sci-fi future like Wally kind of future kind of thing if we've like screwed up the earth so badly and They're doing stuff, but like there's an entire like workforce that that's all they do is scavenge All the things that are orbiting the the For scrap and they sell for scrap It's an interesting film. There's some I mean I I didn't love it I didn't but there were some interesting things.

It was very anime. It was very anime. Yeah. All the performances you can tell were just like really trying to ham up and go overboard everything. It was very anime. We were, we tried that show that you recommended to us, Gus, the Expans. Oh, yeah.

We watched the first episode or maybe first two. I think it might have just been the first one. That show is a lot to understand. And I'm- We just didn't continue. That's too much survival to watch. Too much survivor. Too many seasons of survivor to catch up on.

But no, I think we started like pretty late at night. So we're like, oh, we don't want to start another one. And then we just never were in the right headspace to watch it. Because it's so much to take in. But I imagine it gets more understandable and that's what I see as on. I loved the first couple episodes, but I understand I see a lot of people complain about that.

They say that the first two episodes are really a lot to get over and to get into. They pick episodes of television. Not that that's a bad thing. This gets, but I mean, I feel like they treat a lot of the space travel stuff very authentically. And it's like, they just hit you over the head with it. It's like, yeah, you know, like we're in this big ship.

We can't, we could turn around and go in that direction, but we all have to be prepared. Like it might kill us. Like everyone's like, you just see shots of everyone just like pin down into their seats. Like because the ship is turning or like, you're in space.

Did you see that story in the news recently about, there was like a farmer, like a French farmer or something who was annoyed at these stone blocks that were like in the way of his path

and he was like having to move his tractor around these things. So instead he just, he was like, so these, he just moved the blocks out the way, he moved them like two meters out the way. But they were like the border between France and Belgium and he made France small. Yeah. That's impressive.

And that started war over and careful. Like that's like that should be on a list of like smallest things you can do. Yeah. Biggest ramifications. Yeah, absolutely. Borders are such a weird thing. And we've talked about some videos before

that cover these kinds of things. So what do they call them like ex-claves, like countries within countries or like the way that like weird borders or even some parts of, I think, Belgium and France may be where it's like, there's cafes where like the border comes down and it's like, if you sit on one side of a table, you're in one country, you sit on the other side of the table, you're in another country. But I've watched a video, God, a couple years ago now, talking about how a lot of places use rivers for borders, right, like states and countries or whatever. But it's like rivers are actually very unreliable borders,

because on a short time scale, they don't move, but on a long time scale, rivers are constantly like adjusting their flow or moving and finding you past. So it's like, they can change all the time. Like that's not a good border at all. I know, I listened to the song just around the river band from Pocahontas. I know.

Can't stand stepping the same river twice. I've never spoken a lot. I'm going to think of it as a reference. Yeah, that's like a bunch of weird countries with like on-claves and exclaves. It's like, what a mess to keep track of. And is it, what is that country? Is it Cyprus where there's just like some contested land

and there has been for a long time? I leave so. Yeah, it's like international borders is so complicated. Mm-hmm. Where's the place in the United States that has like four states that intersects? The four corners. It's Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah. Yeah, where you can be on that little There's like a little cross. Yeah, you could like step in all of them at the same or like the Hoover Dam I'm gonna talk about rivers to Hoover Dam is a Here four less. Oh, there you go. The Netherlands and Belgium. That's what exactly what I was talking about You could spill your drink and that the in Netherlands and it would land in Belgium.

What happens if you had your like one foot on each side got shot and died? where like Where would they say you died? A little a little ref would come out and he'd come over and he would measure to see which side landed on more side. Well, I might be something like that. His body is in France, but most of his blood is in Yeah it on more side. I might be something like that. His body is in France, but most of his blood isn't in the Netherlands. What if you were straddling that line and had a baby? Where was that baby born? Did you tell me these things?

When you said baby, did you have to do that hand motion when you did that? You went like that as you said it in order to teach assault. Where's the babies come from? Where he comes from? Where's the babies come from? Where it comes from? Where's the babies come from? The vagina. The memories are down here. The memories according to Chris.

According to our good friend, Chris. Yeah, if you haven't seen Lost Week's Rt. podcast, you should, it's a trip. Oh. Chris explains a lot. In chat, Sombra says that there's a corner in the Harris casino in Lake Tahoe that you cannot gamble in because that corners in California and not Nevada. And it's legal to gamble. What is the point? What are they putting that corner?

Like a toilet smoker's love or something food court. How does that even happen? Where did the border move? Did they know that the corner was going to be built before the court was that before the casino. But then why would they build it there? That's insane. Is that why would that be built? If you know where the border is, or is it they just like they they overextended their their construction and then someone came in later is like, oh, you accidentally built on California. It's always weird when people are like so strict about stuff like that because most their construction and then someone came in later, it was like, oh, you accidentally built on California.

It's always weird when people are like, so strict about stuff like that. Because most people surely will be like, don't worry about it. It's the usual building. But because it's like, into state law, it's like, well, you have to be very strict. Otherwise, people could be extending the state

all over the place. Yeah, you have to like, you have to draw the line and it's literally that. It's borders are drawing the line at a specific spot. And that's when you go past that line. Then problems happen. Yeah. What happens if you're playing cards and the cards are drawn

over the state line? But you bet on the safe line. That's like that's that is the legal battle of not touching you. Not touching you. Yeah. It's like it. But you are doing something wrong. Yes, in my presence.

I'm waiting for chat to tell me if what's going on in that corner of the casino. They reminded me it's illegal to smoke inside California. I said, smokers lounge. So you couldn't even be that. Can you still smoke in casinos in Vegas? What can you do in California? Last time I was there, you could. And now?

Some casinos have no smoking policies, but I think for the most part you can. What can you do in California? You can buy weed legally? Does that play? All right. So that's the corner they do that. Yeah. That's the corner of that piece.

It's all gambling. You can be here and you have to walk out. I don't know, it's legal in Nevada now, too. So And I would probably make a bold statement to say that we is probably safer for people than gambling In some ways. Yeah, maybe Before but yeah, I've seen people get cut off at from gambling in Vegas before yeah, like at a craps table Like I've seen because there's been too much money or there's no too much I've seen like the craps dealer be like,

why don't you take a little break, go walk around a bit. We're gonna come back. So what's the need for the dealer just to be nice? I think so. They're just like, you're not having a good run. Why don't you go walk around. Common courage. Cause I would imagine unless you're a completely disconnected,

emotionally dealer, like that's gotta be hard at some point just to watch. are completely disconnected, emotionally, dealer. Like that's gotta be hard at some point, just to watch, because part of your job is just trying to take people's money. I'm not trying it, but your company's success is based upon you taking people's money. But there has to be talking about lines that you cross. There has to be a line where it's like,

this is now I'm watching a tragedy. Yeah. And I'm actively participating in the tragedy. Sir, please stop making me a part of your sad story. I don't want to be part of this, Mr. Highton. You are forcing me to ruin your life to a certain degree. So I need you to step away. Come back with someone else standing here.

Please go make some money and then come back. Can't believe it's terrifying. Let's get this to show me. Yeah, it's a... You could get a little crazy with it. Cause like if you're successful for a bit, you might have more confidence and then lose it all. It's kind of the same thing with like,

I mean, investing also. It's just like a different kind of gambling that you're okay with. I'll tell you about a low level gambling. A low level gambling that is fun to watch on like this like an inside perspective. I play a phone game called Marvel Puzzle Quest. James actually, James Williams plays it

and he actually just did a stream for them celebrating his seven years of playing the game in like the games anniversary. Oh wow. But a big part of the game, it's like a pay to, it's a free to play a game with like pay, you know, features in it. And you, you, you, you can buy these covers in order to, to have these characters to play in the game, very much like buying stuff in any game to have the accessory or the character.

And they have these like, uh, boxes of like here are 400 possible items you can get if you use this token like 400 okay that you can use this token that you've earned you've done the game to agree and you can use it There's a possible 400 tokens and one of them is like this really good cover Another's that this kind of thing and so often people will then hoard a bunch of these tokens for a long time And then try and get there that that really good cover and you often people will then hoard a bunch of these tokens for a long time and then try and get there that really good cover. And people will post on like the subreddit, it's like, they'll show that they only used one token

and got the best thing. And then it's like, oh, you got the best like ever. But then the other side is that people will show 399 out of 400 items gotten, and that one item is still in the box. And they're just like, the gods have hated me today And I have paid for it and I from playing the game I know the button like that feeling like pushing the button and waiting for that like you know seeing the good thing coming up

And I just can't imagine 399 times using this token and just not getting that one goddamn thing you're looking for Yeah, that's a hell of a shooting. I want to circle back real fast. Apparently in that corner of the casino is the food court. And specifically, there's a fat burger. That's what I said. Food court is a joke. You nailed it.

There's a fat burger. It's the corner of the casino. That's the same thing for that corner. So do they apply like California state tax to that? The most. Maybe what if the register was in the other state? But, oh man, I don't know. I don't know.

What if you were with a 17 year old and you walked into the fat burger corner? Was that bringing a minor across state lines? How does that work? I don't even think a 17 year old is allowed to be in a casino. Just a go to a casino. What if a 15 year old? What if it's your kid? Or so, I guess if it's your kid, doesn is allowed to be in a casino. Go to a casino. What if you're kid or so?

I guess if it's your kid, it doesn't matter. It's a tough question. Move on. I think I've told this story before, but I remember one time early on when I, after my divorce, when I traveled solo with my kids in an airport. Yeah. And like visiting my family in Georgia or something like that.

And if you're not aware, I have two kids, and neither of them look like me, because neither are biologically mine. But one is this little white ginger ghost, and then I have a black kid. And when you are traveling by yourself, and you are traveling with little kids like that, they no matter what are going, they often ask to make sure that I am the person who

is supposed to be with these children. And so I have a special extra little bit where I'm looking extra suspicious because I'm just some dude who looks like nothing like either of these children that he's what he's traveling with. And so they always, especially when they were younger, they always asked. Now when they're older, they haven't asked as much anymore. But I always just trust that my girls will answer right, but one time we got to TSA and they stopped us

and they talked to the girls and they were like, what's your names and they said their names and like that. And then they turned to me and they go, and who is this? And there was one time they did that and my girls gave what can only be described as the uncomfortable amount of pause before they answered. Because they thought it was like,

they thought it was a silly joke because they're like, that's dad, you know, in their brain. But then this lady's just like, and who's him and they're like, he, it's like, and it was just enough time. We're like, a lifetime of anxiety was compact

into this one. I was like, every second, it was sticky by you. Right. Uh-oh, thanks. Yeah, inside I'm screaming, answer. And just say something because I need to get on this flight and not- They're just looking at each other going,

job. Yeah, like they, they're like, the worst thing they could have done is like, Ben said some sort of silly answer. You know, like, I picture almost Jeff being a little kid in that scenario. Yes. And Jeff being like,

I've never seen that man before in my life. Right. Imagine that in an airport when you're trying to get on a flight to go see grandma grandpa. Yep. I guess that's something that just adopted parents and children have to deal with. Yeah, it's not even think of that.

Yeah, that's crazy. I have been walking with my kids in certain settings and if I've gotten far enough away from them, I've seen people approach both of them and try to find where mommy and daddy are because I don't look like that. And so they're like, they think that's just wandering children. They're being followed by a creepy man roaming.

No, they don't even think me because they're just like, well, he clearly isn't connected to them. So these children are lost. You also, you know, not to compliment you, but you also look young. So like, I don't know if I would see you and assume that you had daughters that old. I think I've aged myself a little bit with the mustache

or at least to some degree, but yeah, I have a 10 year old daughter that I'm, that she's like, and she's an early bloomer as well, so she's tall now. She's actually taller than my girlfriend. And, do you really? Yeah, I had it. We didn't know this until because I've we've we've kept a level of separation with our our you know houses and like that. And so my girls have not been around her basically at all during this this pandemic. We've kept a good

separation. But recently with with like, like vaccination and stuff like that, my eldest walked by her and she was as tall as my cousin. Wow. And so she's gonna be tall probably, then, if she's already that tall, that age. Yeah, we don't we don't know anything about, we have no information about her. So she could, she could, she's already grown a good amount. And so she could just keep going. How'd she know?

She's 10, she's 10. Now going on, going on 11 this summer. You have a 10-year-old. Yeah, about 12-year-old. You're a double-ditch. I'm looking down the barrel of paying for braces. Yeah. That's the age I'm at. I'm at the age where I'm paying for someone else's braces.

I won't say my age anymore. That's all I'm gonna say, how old are you? I pay for braces. There also, I won't say my age anymore. That's all I'm gonna say, hell, I'll do it. I pay for braces. They're also, I mean, they're approaching that age of puberty soon too. That's insane. Is that my eldest, she's hitting puberty.

Like, we've gone past training bras. Like, we're past that at that point. I got my period at 10, so I'm assuming that's coming soon. And I'm just really hoping it doesn't land on one of my days Because just for her sake. Yes for her sake. Good to be around your mind. I think she would prefer to be a round of woman when that day comes You should probably have some stuff just in case I'm yes, I'm prepared I'm my parents were young when they had me when I was born and I remember very distinctly when my parents turned 30 years old

And I remember thinking wow my parents are old now Like I had that is a memory I have That's bad whereas my parents had all of us after 30. I was I felt all the other day when I was watching James Buckley streaming the other day when I was watching James Buckley streaming. Do you do? Yeah. Buckley from Inbetweenst. Yeah. And he was saying, he was like, Matt,

it's been a long time since a GTA game came out. Playing GTA V on a stream. It's been, it's like 2013. And then he was doing the math. It's like, the gap before that was shorter. So I assume the gaps will probably get a lot longer, longer. And he was like, I've probably only got three or four GZs left in my life's clinic before I die.

And I was like, that is tragic. As an increment for measuring your lifespan. Especially when you grow up and they're just like, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, they're coming out. That's like, oh, they're slowing down. It might only get to GTA 9. Only. But what about how many portals?

Are you going to get a portal 3, you think? Never. Never. Never. Or a half life three. Half life three. Or a lefdette three. But their business changed. It's just not, I mean, the steam alone makes their money.

Like, it's, they made Alex, though. But like, how long before that had they made anything, I'm saying, like like the urgency is gone. I'm saying is that they don't need to. And that was even like trying to push a new platform. I guess yeah, they'll make a portal three to push more VR maybe. Oh, portal three and VR.

I throw up. Yeah, you might be doing like that stuff where you're flying through the air. I was like, I was going really have to do two portals and you're just gonna... Or if you have to like get flung into a thing and you come out the other and you're like sideways and then you have to like read a judge.

I try playing, you just fly down. I try playing Skyrim VR. And you've either seen that glitch at the beginning of Skyrim where you're on the cart but for some reason sometimes the cart just starts flipping over. And I was just sat in my chair, like on the cartless, like with the guy who's about to get ahead of it.

And all of a sudden it started flipping over. I was like, I lost about 10 seconds. I was like, I am going to throw. Because it was, I was compensating for it. Yeah. But I couldn't move fast enough. I was like, I'm gonna hurl. It's like 10 seconds.

I'm gonna throw up. I was like, Jesus Christ. You didn't try anymore of the game? After I did. Yeah, I did. I think't try anymore of the game? After that? Yeah, I did. I was going to open fun. I did. It's just a bit clunky.

I feel like games not made for VR are still pretty clunky. Yeah. So my Half Life Battle was primo VR experience. Highly recommended, a little bit scary. It was, I'd say, Alex was the game where it was like, if you came out with a game that was going to make me buy to invest, this was a good game. It still didn't get it for me because... I thought you meant which game made you buy sexual.

Yes, Alex. Half-life Alex made me a bisexual. You can put that on the box. Would recommend. No, but it was like, it looked like the perfect storm. I just wasn't in a position to make that much of an investment still, until it's like getting all the VR stuff, but it was like, it looked like the perfect storm. If I just wasn't in a position to make that much of an investment still, and to like getting all the VR stuff, but it was like, it was, it was if there was a game to come out

that could make you get VR, it's like, we wanna play about, because I still am sad I haven't played it, because I've seen how detailed it got. And I think there's also that connection of, first time I played Half Life 2, Half Life 2 blew my mind, because of the advancements in physics, technology,

and even just textures and graphics. I remember the, do you remember the demo of the physics engine of Half-Life 2, where they showed it at a presentation, and they were showing a mattress that they would pick up at the grab gun, and the mattress flopped around, and they would put the mattress on the water,

and that kind of thing, and they were just showing off that. And that was like that That's why I originally got Gary's mod like in 2004 or whatever just like fling and ragdolls around was so fun That's when it came out 2004 GMod is really old and a half life Two would have come out around things. I remember we built some of the early red versus blue computers for Work at rooster teeth and that was O4 and the graphics cards I bought came

with like coupons in them for free cups of Half Life 2. Wow. I want a memory. I was traveling. I have a vivid memory of when Half Life 2 launched. The day it launched and was available on Steam. Craig me for wrong. Was it like one of the first Steam games?

That's how Steam launched. That's what it was. That's what it was. Okay, so that's what it was. So it was a brand new platform. And I unfortunately was traveling as a kid, but I was in Arizona visiting family on like my grandparents internet on a crappy laptop. And I was just trying to download Half Life 2.

So I could play this stupid game. And also like the steam servers were getting heavy issues. And it was the most... It's funny to think that I was like, steam is terrible at that time. Everyone hated steam back then. I hated that. That was a piece of shit. And now it's how we play video games.

I remember back when I was in college, we would host prospective students, you know, who were thinking about coming to the university I went to and they would stay like the weekend with us and, you know, we'd show them the school, they'd go to the class with us, take them apart or whatever. And there was this one kid who came and stayed with us one time and he was really anxious all weekend because he had left his home on Friday and he had left his 56k modem connection to the internet or not even 56k he had left his modem

probably a 28-8 modem connection to the internet at the time because he wanted to download the demo for Diablo and it was going to take all weekend oh my god like by the time you got home on Sunday the download should be done he's like I nobody can pick up the phone at my house they all have to leave it and not touch it and hopefully when I come back on Sunday the demo should be done he's like I nobody can pick up the phone at my house all have to leave it and not touch it and hopefully when I come back on Sunday the demo will be done downloading and I can play diablo when I get there's no way that had a happy ending there's no way I like my son I saw that kids I have no idea if it downloaded or not was like man that kid was like stressed out all weekend thinking about his diablo demo going when the download going on back home

when at the point where games are so big that if you had to download them at those speeds, you probably would die before they finished. Geez. Yeah, I think it was like 80 megabytes or something and it was taking him all weekend. Yeah, but now to download like, what's the current big old games?

It's still like a cool idea. I went to read download arc. And I went to read because I was gonna play it with Andy and that was like a hundred and 40 or 160 gigs Yeah, I remember I think GT is like 90 something is GTA still beefy call of duty wasn't that a big one wars on oh Yeah wars on is huge. I want to help big the Master Chief collection stuff like that. I think it's the legendary Mass Effect gonna be Yeah, that's three games. What's among us like five megabytes?

Actually, it is. I was thinking about the age difference and how young my parents were when they had me. My parents were three years older than I am now when we started a rooster chief. Your parents are say. Say that again. Like in three years, I will be as old as my parents were when we started a Rister Tease. Okay. Oh.

Yeah. That broke my brain just for a second. Yeah, that was like, I'm almost the way you phrase that. I was trying to think of a way to make it clear. No, it makes sense. It's 27. 27 when you started 26? 27 when you started, I was 25.

25. 25. Fuck, that was six years ago for me. Yeah. Seven when you started 20 what you're we start we start I was 25 Fuck that was six years ago for me Yeah, I Can't think about this this during this breaking my brain. What do we always do? We always used to make people figure out if more time is passed between now and When they were born then when they were born and the second world war Oh, some people like cross the that is. I've crossed that a long time ago. Yeah, I crossed that 10 years ago.

Shit. I don't like this game. Time is fleeting very quick. It's weird because like as you get older, a year is a smaller and a smaller percentage of your life. Yeah. So it's like when you're young and you're going to school, you're like, oh my god, a year takes forever.

I'm never going to move out. I'm never going to graduate. And because it's a big chunk of your life. But then as you get older, it's like such a smaller and smaller sliver. That's just like, oh, we've been in quarantine for over a year now. You're also not developing as many new, what's the word

I'm looking for? Like when you're younger, you're learning about everything. Yeah. A lot of things for the first time. When you experience this. Experiencing things for the first time where it's like the older you get, the less new experiences you have. So like things go by a lot faster.

It seems like two. Mm-hmm. But I think the percentage wise, it's probably the biggest factor. Yeah. It's the biggest thing about. It just looks like your color. When you're five, a year is a fifth of your life.

Yeah, the guy I used to work with in the UK was like, he was pushing with time and he was like 65 or 66 at the time. And he was like, you know, I felt like I was 21, like a few years ago, it just goes. I hate that. And I was like, what do you want me to do with that information? I can't. And I can't.

I can't, I can't do anything about that. That's scary. What's the appropriate reaction to that? I'm sorry. I guess the ball to story is, enjoy it. Do good. Don't mess it up. Don't.

But have a global pandemic for one of those, one or two of those years. But he was right. That was 12 years ago. Yeah, well, we were just before the podcast, like reminiscing a little bit about, like was it eight years ago or so, eight, nine years ago. Yeah, well, we were just before the podcast like reminiscing a little bit about like Was it eight? Years ago or so eight nine years ago back when we were down south on at six three six

Which is like the first office that got and I started that not the first Rishi's office, but And John my first office. Yeah But how like we just go to a bar across the street, like pretty frequently for drinks and stuff like that, and how being that age, and just the time that we were in, just like, was so carefree, just like, I don't know, well, maybe not as much for John. Yeah, I pointed out that it was a horrendous time in my life that resulted in divorce, but anyways.

But for Gavin and I, you guys. Because we had just moved to Austin. Yeah. Didn't really have like any ties to anything. No responsibilities. Yeah, there's no responsibilities. You know that I think the day this podcast comes out, this comes out tomorrow, right? The 11th.

It'll come out tomorrow for first. First, yeah. Yeah. I signed up on the receipt website on May the 11th, 2003. Wow. Tessentry. website on May 11th, 2003. Wow. 13 years. My 18th. Yeah. On the receipt.

You're account is now allowed to vote and drink in my country. Am I? I joined October 2004. So I was like a year and a half after you give tick. I was I was answering your email from the island of Puerto Rico. Good times. God, that was such a pain in the ass, the old website and the old forums. Oh my God. It took like all fucking day to answer all those emails and modify

people's like stars on the fucking forum. God, I fucking hate that. I remember saving up to become a sponsor. And it took me like a few months. I was like, I don't really have, what was it like, 20 bucks to become a... It was 10 bucks for the regular sponsorship for the season or 20 bucks for the super.

I remember being a big thing, because yeah. People never gifted you sponsorship or anything like that. I feel like a lot of them. Yeah, maybe not like 2003, 2004, but after that, there was like gifted sponsorships. You know who is either? Who was what? Like, why would I do that? Yeah, I mean, because a lot of people knew you and were friends with you on the site. So it's like kind of like here you go buddy.

I mean, it's kind of like how people say is it right now? Twitch subscriptions and stuff like that. Yeah, but I guess that's more for a streamer than a few. It's a different kind of system. Someone in chat who's in Europe pointed out that it's already the eleventh over there. Oh, yeah. It's been passed. It's a good point.

That was on Europe time. And your birthday is this month too, isn't it? No. 23rd. I'm not going to be 33. Oh, please. I'm not going to be 33. Oh please, I got a fucking decked on you now. I know Gus is over here.

I slept funny and now I can't look that way. If I'm going to hold on. You know it's funny about that. So I saw Fiona this weekend. You did too. But she was telling me about this thing that she likes to do where she does like a kick flip thing. I think you guys were doing it at the Friday summer event, spring event.

And I tried to do it too and I couldn't. And I was like, I don't have 20 year old knees anymore. I can't just like, it's the thing where you jump and kick your legs up to the side. And I was like, I'm going to hurt myself. I'm going to land on this funny and you're going to land your hip, you're gonna have to go to the hospital. I'm gonna miss that little freak. Yeah, she's a LA bound, right? Already already an LA.

Yeah. Everyone tested negative. Do we have to put that on every, isn't that a given at this point? Haven't we already mentioned that? I think people haven't seen it. It's good to remind them. What's the harm already mentioned that? I think people haven't, maybe people haven't seen it. It's good to, it's good to remind them. What's the harm in reminding them?

I think it's time for the show. But don't it's gonna be on the video forever. Well, you will know for posterity sake. I did not have COVID at this moment. Okay, fine. Hopefully never, hopefully. You're my little vaccine sticker. Oh, you can't see it there.

Beep, boop, boop, boop. That little freak. We came in and we filmed first and squat team force stuff for the first time last Monday. Yeah. Which I'm sure you guys talked about. Did you ever talk about first Monday? I'm looking at Gus, Gus, what was that?

In the case, you just never heard of it. We filmed squat team force. We did, we did talk about, I think, a little bit. We didn't tell them what we filmed, but just like we were all in the studio that day. Yeah, and, well, then that's, and that's, we filmed, and we posted something this morning that we filmed today with Chris and Gus

that were making them dance for us. No, it's a beautiful moment. It wasn't dancing. Well, see, it was dancing, and I think, I realized I watched the video. I was like, I think I'm on a very, very short list of people who have danced with Gus a role. I think. So it's great because Gus and Chris don't really watch TikToks like me and John do. So we know a lot of these

jokes and things that we could do on them. They have no idea what the gag is. Yeah. And so we can pull stuff on them. So it's this it's this like rhythm test that you say. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no have reels for right? It doesn't have the ability to upload or even view reels in any of you. You can't even view them. I don't think it's that it's too new. I guess it's still a new-ish feature. That's some of the accounts that get created. Just don't have it as a feature on it. So we're looking into that. I see it here. Has it been rolled out to all accounts yet? Yeah, it's very strange. We came in for we, so we came in for the first time. And last Monday was the first time I had done anything in production

because I wasn't in anything we've done prior. It was like your first COVID test, never been. I had my first COVID test two Sundays ago and everything like that. And so I was, I obviously woke up on Monday and I had a very busy Monday already as it was because I had to drop kids off at school and I had to drop kittens off to get their bits chopped off.

Paul, kitten bits. That's good for the kids. It's good for the kids. So they don't make anymore babies because they don't need anymore. And so I had a very busy morning and so then when I finally got home and was getting ready for work for the first time in forever,

I was trying to do everything, you know, I had done in the past, I was like that. And I had one of the most nightmarish moments happen that could happen, which was I got out of the shower and I was doing all of my little routines and I was going into trim my mustache. Oh yeah. And my normal routine for trim and moustache

I have a little tiny little comb and I take the comb and I comb down a little bit and then I kind of just trim the edges and make sure everything's nice and you know, and trimming it on the other side of the comb. I think it's like the comb and I can even like, or even like just combing it down and then just doing that.

My brain switched and it thought that the buzzer was in one hand and the comb is the other and instead of combing with the comb, I combed with the buzzer and I took hand and the comb was the other, and instead of combing with the comb, I combed with the buzzer. And I took off a chunk of my mustache. Luckily, I was very unfortunate. Why everybody is going happy birthday, Eric Bedurin. I told him all to wish Eric a happy birthday.

See you soon, I'm in chat. Oh, yeah, that is today. Luckily, I have dark mustache hairs and a rather thick mustache, and I only took out a certain part. But you see, you can't notice it very much. If you look closely, you could probably see a little bit. No, it's gone.

We're just like live CGing it back onto this. Yeah. Like Henry Cavill. Yeah, exactly. But I can't stop touching the area because it's a step. Like there is a divot where I have taken away my muscles because here it's like, oh, it's just nice

in all the same texture and it's like, oh, it's just nice and all the same texture. And it's like there's a spot. But it was just like, just, oh, we're going to get it. I don't know if you can see it. Let me see. As it's showing you, John's mustache. See, it can barely see it.

It's just right there. You can see a little bit of change. I'll read the text that John sent me that morning. It ate 46 in the morning. Kill me now, Barb. I just took a chunk of my mustache off accidentally. Today of all days, I have a shaving accident. I was, I had to make a decision of like, either I'm going to try to deal with this or I'm going to just shave my mustache off. And that's just how I'm going to be on the premiere of our squat team force like stuff.

One comment. If it made you feel any better, I showed up that day with a star. I tried to hide it from you guys and like only show you one side of my face. We don't notice, we don't notice. And then fucking today, guess who shows up with a star? Me. Yeah, you'd like texted back this morning. Like I was like,

is there a way to come in today? Like an eye lump? So it's a, I'm not so sure. It can be infected. I think it's an infected gland, like something gets in and then gets infected. Or I don't even know if something has to enter it, but- It can be irritated by an foreign object.

You either get, depending on which lid it is, you get like a little white bump just on the kind of edge of your lid. But the white bump hadn't formed this morning, so my whole eyelid was just swollen and I was like, oh good, I can't wait to be in contact with this. I was actually telling Gus right before the podcast I was considering going to find an iPad and doing the podcast with an iPad John and just never referencing it. I told her just to put her mask over her eye.

I got a style recently, for some reason that's been on my docket as well. And I got a really, really bad one. And the only way that it felt like bearable was when I bought this like compress from like CVS that you like microwave and then you put on and having there felt good. But it's not good to have to be like this all the time when you want to do two hand activities

like even like play video games, something like that. And so for a couple of streams, I took a bandana and I just tied that compress to my eye. And so there's like, I'm sure in one of the most dreams there's just footage of me just like with a patch on my eye playing Pokemon Snap or something. I mean, you don't need depth perception when you're looking at a screen, right?

So I was playing like Pixel Mont and it was hard. It was like some reason it still is very difficult. Well, I was just thinking it would be funny if I had it for this podcast because I wouldn't be able to really see you guys too well. I know, I've been able to see you guys. I'm just a higher friend. I'm a higher friend.

Yeah, but it's really confusing, because I love looking up illnesses and ailments online, where it's like, oh, could be cancer. For every thing. It could be cancer. But for this one, it's like, okay, my eye is swollen and painful. Cold compress, cold compress, cold compress,

sti, hot compress, hot compress. And I'm like, but I don't know which one it is. I don't know if it's just a swollen eye from an infection or a stye. Lukewarm compress. Just dunk your head in a bath of water. Well, you're a dunkleman. Oh.

So yeah, go for it. I say I'd vote warm compress. Warm compress. We're not gonna wrap up quite yet. We're getting to close the end, but I do feel compelled to mention that we have part of our spring event series going on this Friday. We have a fun house. This Friday murder from the top rope. It's a championship wrestling role play mystery with James and Elise Williams, Daniel Schneider, Charlotte McGrath, Ryan Haley. So yeah, it's going on. Head over to the WebRL and lower third. They're SpringEventSeries.EventBright.com.

Take us to 20 bucks. Check it out. Sounds like a super great event. You can go there. You can read what it's all about. I don't want to be told to bring it and spoil it. But it sounds like it's going to be amazing. It sounds like a great costume.

Are you doing a SpringEvent? I am not. No. Our group is our style guys. The style guys is going to be what we're going to be called. No, we have we're the last one of the... We give you the shy guys. We collab with them. Yeah.

I think I might be there. You can see the details for that one as well on that website. That was on the lower third and that I mentioned a little earlier.

It's right there if you want to read it. Yeah. If you want to go take it, 20 bucks. Go get it. Why not? Do it. Yeah, you guys just did the Achimahunter one last Friday. Yeah. That looks like a ton of fun. Yeah, it was pretty bucks. Go get it. Why not? Do it. Yeah, you guys just did the Achima 101 last Friday. Yeah.

That looked like a ton of fun. Yeah, it was pretty chaotic. It was pretty us. Yep. Yep. I ended up on Michael's shoulders. I saw that. I tuned in at various points in time during the stream.

And I saw you guys playing with water. Yeah, I liked the idea of Michael, my boy. We're not together for like an entire year. And then the moment we're back together, I'm sat on his head. Literally one person, yeah. It was good time. The amount of trust you put in my goal

to not drop you on the concrete is impressive. He was starting to quiver towards the end. And then one of the very nice code for guys helped get me down. I'm like, my friend, I can trial that of a high chair. I can't. Yeah. To keep my underarms.

What was the best part of that? I'm just seeing people. Yeah. It's so nice. Just being able to make an instant comment to someone's face. Right. It was really nice. Comment to someone's face.

I read an absolutely totally different topic. I read an absolutely disgusting story the other day. that I've been dying to share with you guys. Okay, is it best? No, it's not. But apparently there was this phenomenon that used to happen in New York City that I was unaware of, you know, in the old days before smartphones and digital currency. If you wanted to ride the subway in New York yet to have a token You put like a token the turn style and go through and get on the train. Yeah Apparently there were people who were referred to as token suckers

Who would intentionally put stuff into the token slot to jam it so the token wouldn't go in And then when like it didn't work and your token will stuck in the machine They would come out from like the side somewhere and put their mouth onto it and suck the token out. That way they could then reuse it because each token is worth like a buck 50. So they would make it so that the token would go all the way through so that they could then come and retrieve it through suction.

Yeah, suck it out. And I cannot imagine. Surely there's better ways to make a buck 50. Yeah, it already looks like you want to puke. There's some other sucking you could do for. That's just going to be a little more money. I cannot imagine putting that token in my mouth, much less putting my mouth onto the machine

to like, wait, everyone suck on it. Fingers go. Right. It makes my teeth hurt for some reason. It makes my immune system hurt. It makes everything hurt. Like, what if it gets stuck like a suck at it? You're just like

you're stuck in on the knee. Or you suck it too hard and it clanks the back of your throat. Oh God. It's absolutely. So what do they do to prevent dusting? Token suck is. Well now it doesn't happen anymore. They just eradicated them together. But like what do they do at the time? I don't think there was anything they could do at the time. Here I'm going to read a,

a little snippet here. I guess like, there was a, they were, they were talking to the police who worked in the subway at the time. And one of the quotes was, these guys had a lot of various diseases. You name it, they had it. You don't last too long in that line of work. Maybe just they could have like ventilated it. So that wasn't an airtight way to get them out. Like a looser situation. Yeah, like a mesh around you. You're making me think of there's a trend that sometimes happens on like a TikTok where someone makes a video with the full intention of a story they're gonna tell or some questions are asked, but something about the video totally derails everybody.

So no one ever reacts to the full video. They just react to the one thing that went weird. And there's a video of a guy that's sitting in his car and he's like starting, he's like, I wanna talk to you guys about something. He takes a drink of his boba tea with the tapioca balls, but he just sucks down the straw and then just swallows completely.

And so everybody just keeps making like, do wet videos, he's like, are we gonna talk about the fact that he didn't chew those chocolate balls? They're just, I don't know what the rest of his video is because he just like, sucked down the straw and then just, instead of chewing on the tapioca balls, are you mad at you?

I never get that. Yeah, I mean, it's like a pop. I would say more like you kinda, yeah, you kinda chew on it. I never get that. Yeah, I mean, it's like a pop. I would say more like you kind of. Yeah, you kind of chew on a little bit because they are like, they're big old suckers. I used to when I couldn't, for a long time,

I couldn't swallow pills because I would freak out and choke on them until I was like, deep into my 20s. So to practice what I was a kid, I would just swallow a piece whole, like whenever I already peed, so I would just be like, Gavin, I did the exact same fucking thing with peas No, no, no, I think me you and I are the outliers maybe in that there are two people two types of people in this world They're like destined to meet and become friends. I know and talk about this shared experience right here

Frozen Cooked like like when you were eating dinner. Frozen. Don't look at me like I'm the crazy person. And you just said that you practice your mom's life for vitamins. Your mom's like, hey, what's going on here? Well, I mean, what does a pill resemble more? A soft mushy pee or a frozen heart?

Well, it's a practice, so you want the mushy. Yeah, you want to stop mushy, just to like tease the throat. just to like tease the frozen one. You might as well try a pill. I don't know what that process with this rehearsal. Not a whole lot. You'll get brain freeze from a frozen pizza. I guess so. If you're doing it that quickly. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, it's time to wrap up. I want to thank everyone for watching. We'll see you guys again next week. Bye. Bye. Hey, it's James, and I've got a new podcast called Wrestling with the Week.
