Thank you express VPN for sponsoring the podcast. Yeah. Great start. Whatever. Hey, when I'm Gus I'm Gavin Used to be Jeff I'm vibra

That would have been the quickest episode ever. I mean, if I get we're just out of here. Yeah, they're rolling out already Oh, my god. I was about to launch into an attack on Eric to start to show off and then he did that. It was never mind. He's perfect. So when that's now, I think that's ever happened. Ever. And it's all for you, Jeff. I think it was. It's a second time. It's a nice touch. Yeah. Thanks. Thanks for waiting 643 episodes to share. I really appreciate it. Yeah, cool. Ethan.

Chat professional media company. Thanks Nathan. That's us. Yeah. Well, I mean, listen, we got to keep quarantine fresh. We've been working from home for over a year now. We got to try new things. We got to try new fuck ups. What if you start the podcast with the end of the podcast? It's revolutionary. No one's ever done that before. Yeah, it's the new sign filled. with the end of the podcast. It's revolutionary. No one's ever done that before. Yeah, it's the new sign filled. You know, I'm looking at chat right now.

And Jeff, I don't think anyone is excited to see you. So, you know, sorry, you wasted your time being on the subject. What's up? I'm actually, I'm not excited to see Jeff because I don't know what to talk to him about that isn't face-related. It's very difficult. Well, not just that too.

Like, it's true. And if you're not familiar with me, my name is Jeff. Hi, I used to make some stuff here I currently do an audio only podcast wave of the future Fucking video sucks nobody likes it So I do the only podcast with Gavin called Gavin you got me yeah called fuck Face thank you That's mental. All right, just goes. All right, called three two one black face. Thank you.

It's called it's called three two one face. Yeah, that's a really weird name for a black podcast. And unfortunately, it's we started it because Gavin Andrew and I have this really fun friendship, but we learned that the podcast ruined it because any time we talk to each

other now, it could be a bit, and we don't trust each other. And so we've essentially broken all communication outside of the podcast that we perform together on. I also imagine that anything you'd want to talk to each other about whether it's like what's going on in your personal life or anything you want to save it for the podcast too. So it's not even like, could this person be fucking with me, but I just want to save my story for it.

No, totally. I was lamenting that earlier. earlier like I had a I realized I had a crazy Story about a horseback ride I went on in the mountains like two weeks ago And I was like to I tell it on the RT podcast or on Gavin you ready three two one fuck Hey Gavin three two one. Thank you. That's perfect every time. I got you You have options now. It's, uh, although I forgot how this stuff is done. How about a practice? To those who have listened to, um, check out, uh,

what can you say is? Check out the wicked shelves behind, Jeff. Look at those. Great shelves. It's funny. We did something for, uh, the live livestream on April 1st for our anniversary, and a bunch of comments were about Jeff Shels. And I guess I haven't gotten to that episode of

FACEY yet, so I was like, what is everyone talking about? Yeah, well that was what Jeff tried to move the podcast, and reschedule everyone to get some shelves, but it's a pretty eventful episode. They're good shelves. Well, they took about three months to build. It was a long process. And then they kept it off.

It was like this whole four month or deal. And I was just happy to finally, I was filming the podcast out of my bedroom because this room was a mess. And then the day they got finished finished my pipes exploded in my bathroom. And then so that was like a two month thing. And then I haven't even talked about it yet on the podcast, the other podcast. But pretty sure my foundation's cracked. So I'll be dealing, so that'll be a whole thing.

We're going through. Yeah. Big old crack in my ceiling in my hallway. I love this because it's just reminiscent of when I remodeled my house back in 2009. When every week of the podcast was me bitching about all the shit I was going through. It's awful when you're going through it, but when you're listening to someone else that you know, talk about it, you're like, oh, yeah, fuck them. That's really hilarious. There's, there's an addition to my house.

And I've noticed as of late after the crack appeared and a lot of other cracks appeared. I've noticed that I walk down sort of to that edition. Similarly to when I helped you move from your first department complex in Austin and I walked up from your living room. What do you think about that? I came in the front door. Yeah, you had to go up. Yeah. Oh, like your your foundations cracked to the point where it's tilted. Yeah, like oh my god. Remember that little house I used to live in? The really small one? Yeah, the house that I remodeled. Yeah, over my God. Remember that little house I used to live in, the really small one, the house that I remodel. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember like I was all over. No, no, no, after that, the one, oh, oh, oh, the house was a little bit.

Yeah, yeah, many, many. That house had three different slabs for foundation. The house was eight. A small square feet. Yeah, as small as it was, it had three slabs. Like, if you wouldn't know it, but like I knew since we tore everything out. It's like, why did they built it this?

I assumed that they initially built like one small room to live in, then they added on a back part and then the side part. But it makes you say, when you say you house has three slabs, you think some massive house, but it's like, like you said, it was like 800 square feet. It was like the smallest house in the world. Yeah, I've no idea what that would.

And they were put in at different times. They just built the thing room it was like 800 square feet. It was like the smallest house in the world. Yeah. And then we put in a different times. They just built the thing room by room a long time. I, I think so. I don't know for certain that house was built in the 40s. So it's possible. Do you recommend doing up a house? Did you like that experience? God no, God no.

Oh, it's awful. It's the worst thing in the world. But the result though, you get like exactly what you want. Challenge between cool. You live through hell. Cool ass shells. A year, you know? Yeah, I guess it's like depending on like how you value

your time and what you want to say and result and how much it's worth it. Yeah, and also it's like if you're fixing up a house like that if you're doing a lot of work, you own a house that you're paying to fix and then you can't live in it You can't live in it. Yeah to find another place to live so you're paying for two places to live It's the worst what I did at that old place that I fixed up that when we're talking about the little house We went to an RV and parked it in the driveway

Dude that's actually smart. Yeah, except it didn't work. It was awful. It was terrible That was when I was some I think Jeff was awful. It was terrible. That was when I was some, I think Jeff was driving and I was in the back seat, but we were also giving your portable air conditioner right? So that was right on me in the back while you were in the front with all the room in the world. What was it? I forgot about that. Do you remember that? I was like crushed by an AC unit. It was it was those the like the room ones because the RV didn't have an air conditioner in it. So I got those those ACs and took them over to the RV. Like the big ones from RT that we had.

The one that I'm not to use that in Congress. Yeah. Yeah, I want to say in the back seat, it was me, Ben, the Kasi with an air conditioner across all three of us. Somehow it seemed a little unsafe. Does anybody know? Has anybody heard from Ben in the last couple of years? No. No. I'm lost couple, maybe like two years ago.

I think as well as time. I think I heard from not too long before the pandemic and he was doing well. That's a name I was going to be. Yeah. It's good. It'll been. It's good to hear. Man, there's kind of a lot that's good. It'll been. It's good to hear.

Man, there's kind of lost steam there. Speaking of housing, did you see that Elon Musk is here to fix all of our problems in Austin? Is everyone super happy about things? What's he going to do? He's discovered that Austin has a shortage of housing and that to fix it, Austin need more housing. Wow. What a genius. I'm so glad Elon Musk has solved these problems and pointed out these flaws that we had no idea were an issue. Thank God. It'll take the world to space.

Not enough houses in Austin. Austin houses go for a lot of money. What do you? Yeah, build houses. I look forward to Austin. I mean, if you're, I kind of imagine trying to move here right now or trying to buy a house right

now. I feel like every day in the Austin subreddit, there's five posts from people who are like, I don't know how to buy a house. I've been trying to buy a house for six months. And even if I put an offer in, that's way above asking, I get out bid by cash offers.

It's like there are so many people trying to move here and trying to buy a house. It seems like a nightmare. It's funny you mentioned that I guess, because there was a house that I looked at a while ago, years ago, that I saw was listed again, I guess the people are moving out. It's listed for like 300 grand more than it was.

I was like, oh, yeah. And I was like, the holy shit. Like, oh my God, it is quite a seller's market right now. Yeah, I was reading on Reddit just the other day that some big real estate investment guy was explaining that there are 30 year wave cities in America historically or I guess Recently historically and that like it for that 30 years that city is like I guess the object of like of desire for people and like the cool place And the the last 30 year wave cycles were San Francisco and Seattle and And now Austin is in that 30-year wave.

And they're saying that just like Austin will be the city with the most growth. And the most like, I guess like, heat behind it for the next 30 years. I don't know how far into that cycle we are. We could be 10 years into it already. But we've got the heat. I guarantee you that.

There's fucking plenty of heat to go around here. I don't know. Why do you? I think about it sometimes like how did like you're you know back in the before the invention of electricity when people like first moved out here how the fuck did anybody live here before air conditioning like it is so unbelievably hot like to the point where it's dangerous I can't imagine anyone living here you know in a fucking log cabin. Yeah, old people would have dropped dead because it does get to like 42, 43 degree Celsius. And without acutording, it's just you're just going to be dripping.

You got to be constantly drinking water. I think it's just acclimation, right? Because I feel the same way, but you know, I spent about a year in the middle east in the army. And it would be like 125 degrees, and Bedowans would just be like walking through the middle of the desert, just having a stroll like on a normal day,

you drive by them in that wave and you'd wave, and they'd be like, it'd be like 125 degrees outside, and they would be a long way from any kind of shelter or anything, and just like, just going about their business, like it's a pretty easy please, like it wasn't hot. So I guess at some point you just acclimate. Yeah, there's, there's an acclamation aspect to it, but there's also something I think that Gavin said in there, which like you got to drink a lot of water. Imagine back before there was even a

thing as well, you know, what it was like, you got to dig, you got to dig a well to find dirty water, and that's what you would drink. Or you live next to water, right? That's why it's often is where it is. Yeah. I imagine it's also gotten hotter over time, right? Like did Texas always used to be this hot forever and always back there? Yeah. It would be average is higher, but I assume it still hit those peak temperatures even back then. Yeah. Yeah, maybe. Did you say that thing about how the cherry blossoms in Japan bloomed at the earliest time in 1200 years? Yeah, no, I think it was the cherry blossoms in Kyoto. I think for 1200 years they'd be keep it track of when they reach peak bloom and this I want to say this was this was the early state it was March I want to say 26 that they reach peak bloom and the oh is March 25th the previous record was March 26th

and that was in 1409. That's crazy because people actually do, I guess not so much this year, but people do travel for that specifically, like ghost Japan to see that. And I kind of kind of imagine booking that you're in advance and getting there. It's already happened. That'd be really annoying. Although it doesn't really matter this year because there's pandemic. So I don't think a lot of people are. I went to Japan right now as usual. I went for the first time ever to see the cherry blossoms.

And I did that in this cherry blossom season in March of 2019. And little did I know that was the last possible time you could do it. Like the next possible time you'll do it is maybe 2022. Like you couldn't do it in 2020. Couldn't do it in 2021. I fucking got in there by the skin of my teeth. Yeah, are these two years just like complete washes essentially? 2020 and 2021. I think that's why we're getting better.

Shelves built. You also updated your wardrobe. Yeah, I got some new clothes. Oh, you got a shirt too. I guess I did. I Didn't even notice apparently. Yeah. What would you tell it? If you were wearing that shirt in public and someone's like,

Oh, obviously someone who doesn't understand what that was stand for. What would you tell them that that stood for? That person wouldn't talk to me in public probably. Like a creepy, like a old grizzly bearded homeless looking tattooed guy With a shirt that says fuck on the front of it People people start star cake. They are only people that talk to Jeff Barbara you should probably remember was Is the people who woke up to him? Yeah

You're the worst thing about Austin I still remember that so vividly. That was like shortly after we moved here, right? Or was that one we're visiting? It was like 2012. We were just reuniting after years. I'm not saying you should learn that just some guy got involved.

Told Jeff he was a piece of shit and the worst together. And then walked up. And Jeff was like Thanks, man Cool really having to be here in Austin. I'm really happy. I moved here not scared at all the people What bar was that do you remember that Jeff? I do remember that it was at a bar called Long Branch It's no longer there now. It's well the bar is there. It's called nickel city. I think now I think you had it torn down almost the second. Yeah, I bought it that next day. Had a race to the ground. No, that was 2012, Austin might have

been 50 years ago. Cities changed so much since then. Yeah, I mean, nine years ago. That's great. How's this with cheaper? Oh, God, that's great. That's. How is this a cheap? Yeah. Yeah. In chat, actually, I'm dead says you could tell him it's sense for fork face.

Fork face. Say again. Yeah. I was going to say funk face. Oh, what's going on? Like, you know, for some type of like dance podcast. You know, yeah, sorry, Gus, please. Have you seen that fucking? There's that local attorney who has billboard?

There's, I don't know if you all pay attention to local attorneys. I think they're fucking very much very much. There's, there's that funk and associates, you know, which is, what's that maybe think about, but have you also seen that other one? It's like one dude and he stands with his background. It's his Daniel Stark. And for the longest time, I thought background. It's his Daniel Stark. And for the longest time, I thought that lawyer's name was Daniel Stark.

His name is not Daniel Stark. What is the name of the name of the firm is Daniel Stark. His name is Danny Daniel. I was like, what's Daniel and Stark? Daniel and Stark, but it's only only show one dude. And he stands between the names. So you think his name is Daniel Stark In sane person would name their child Daniel with the last name Daniel That's what I'm focused on here, but I actually have seen that exact billboard you're talking about

And I thought his name was Daniel Stark because that's one dude standing in the middle. Is he like favorite? Do you guys have favorite local? Um, not my favorite is David Comey, the attorney who rocks. Yeah, I don't know. Oh, the guy with the guy with the drugs. He doesn't look like a lawyer. That's how he sneaks up on them.

That's like he rocks. It's either him or Betty Blackwell. Betty Blackwell's great too. You do know Betty Blackwell? I had to show that commercial to my girlfriend the other day because she didn't know who I was talking about. I like Lorenz and Lorenz. Oh, yeah.

The dude that looks kind of like a turtle with the glasses and he carries a baseball bat because he's going to get tough on. Yeah. Did that Comey guy, the attorney that rocks? Did he buy like a 10 year deal on that billboard? And what like anything else ever been on this billboard, aside from him. The funny thing about the David Komi billboards is that in the late 90s, he was young. And then one day in 2010 or 2012, they changed all of them and suddenly he was old.

It's like the queen on money. They got new headshots. It's like he got a new headshot and like he ate in on the billboard. He aged 20 years overnight. There's, there's another one and it's so funny you bring this up, Gus, because we, this was just a thing about how yesterday,

but there's another one named, a guy, I'm sure you know Thomas J. Henry. He has like, he has more commercials than all the other local loyal lawyers together, I think. Like you cannot go an evening watching local TV in Austin without seeing two or three different Thomas J. Henry commercials. But my girlfriend was telling me that he had a reality show that he self-produced about his family supposedly and it's on YouTube. And it's like keeping up with keeping up with the Henry's or something like that. And she was like

somebody told her about it and she was like, we've got to find and watch it. And so there may be a Thomas J. Henry lawyer family reality TV self-produced reality TV show out there. Oh my God. Self-produced. I guess I wanted. Yeah. Do you think anyone ever has like a huge case and they assemble like a dream team of Austin billboard lawyers? It's like, I want the reins of the reins. I want Thomas Jay Henry and I want David Komi representing me on this case. I'm working round the clock and not stop. I bet they they clash over some things, but they'd be a correct team overall. It's all the guys and I want whoever's on the other end of 7777777. Oh, yeah. All right. Isn't that like if you need to get bailed out of jail? Yeah, I think that's a DIY. Yeah, perfect. Get them on the team too. We need everybody. This one. Shady Adi. He appreciates this extremely localized version of Austin lawyer talk.

Well, they they they can experience it themselves when they move here and are unable to purchase a house just like the rest of the world. Yeah, and a kin. This episode of the receipt podcast brought to you by me undies. I'm just going to cut to the chase. I love everything about me undies. I love how comfortable they are, how great I feel in them.

Alienware is your portal to new worlds where limits don't exist and the only rules are the ones you decide to make. Defy boundaries and start gaming now at alienware.com. Next-gen gaming is built with Intel Core i9 processors. Yeah, so we just sort of trapped in our houses now. If we want to move, we won't be able to afford any way else to move to. We'll just have to leave.

Well, you have to be stuck in these. You'd have to like downsize, right? Like you could sell your house, but then you couldn't buy a comparable one. You'd have to buy like a shittier. Yeah. Yeah. I think a taxittier. Yeah. Yeah. What is propping attacks goes up and up to live in our

analysis. I think the best you can hope for is a lateral move right now, unless you like had a windfall and you have a bunch of extra cash, right? Like I was reading on some lawyer thread on red at the other day, or not lawyer. I'm sorry, some real estate thread on the Austin store but maybe two weeks ago and somebody's saying, like, I'm just gonna throw a number out there, but like say you have $500,000 to buy a house, you can't go look for a $500,000 house,

you have to look for $300,000 house and hope that the $200,000 is enough for you to bid up. So if you wanna buy a $500,000 house in Austin, you need $700,000. If you wanna buy a $300,000 house in Austin, you need $700,000. If you want to buy a $300,000 house in Austin, you need $500,000. Because whatever the down payment on that would be, but yes, yeah, whatever. But it's just fucking, it's nuts. Yeah, but if you, but like to the point of having the money, it's like then you

can put in a cash offer. You can buy because if you're offering that much more over asking price, you run the risk of the, of the house not appraising for the appropriate value. So you have to pay for it out of pocket anyway. So if you put in a cash offer, then you can bypass the appraisal. God, why are we talking about this? This is what we're talking about when we go get coffee. It's just a continuation of old, old Austinites grousing about property. I mean, Gavin are finally on that same page as you guys, because we used to listen to

the R2 podcast when we were fans and you guys would be talking about like super local Austin stuff. I was still a big as a fan right now. I'd be like this Now I can relate so I'm like yeah Like get it. I'm just gonna talk about lost every week. Oh God. What do you guys watch these days? So lost every week. Oh God. What do you guys watch these days? So I'm so happy you're into it now, Gavin. I'm asking you to watch this. Why would you do this? You've given me 20 years of content to get through. Exactly. And guess what? You're probably going to get through

all of it because I'm working to be stuck in his hell forever. I'm never going to watch a movie again. There's no time. Right? Because it's like, well, I mean, we got to put on an episode of Survivors who would happen to next. And then you end up watching four of them. Yeah. And you've watched three in a row. And then it shows the preview of the next one is someone's like on the floor, like maybe having a hot attack. You've got to be like, we got to watch that one now. Got it. You got it. You can't stop. Have you guys, you speaking of never watching a movie again,

I don't think I will ever watch it. I don't think I haven't had a, like we were even talking about watching Kong vs. Godzilla, I can't make myself watch a film anymore. I do. Something about, I don't know. I like TV so much more. I like serialized TV or reality TV so much more

than like one, two hour story. I don't know what it is. Like I would much rather watch it. You guys watch zero, zero, zero. I think that's way better than try to even know what the fuck that is. Oh my God. Dude, Gus, you're gonna love it. Zero, zero. It's a show on Amazon that it's about the drug trade, right? But it takes. Are you ready to do love it? It takes place in Mexico, Italy, and New Orleans. And they film on location in all of those places and some places in I think Egypt and Africa and It is a hundred and sixty million dollar budget for eight episodes It is the highest budget thing I've ever seen in my entire life every movie or every episode looks like a twenty million dollar movie

And they hire like famous actors and actresses from those locales. So you've got like really top notch amazingly acted characters. And then it's so it's like the episode you're like, and it's just following the trail of these drugs from Italy to New Orleans and back, through Mexico and just how these groups work together.

And it's only one season, it's only eight episodes and it's phenomenal. That sounds great. I'm going to watch it. Yeah. Really, really, really. TPG is agreeing with you right now. Yeah. It's got Gabriel Boen in it. I think and it's just like it's some of the best at like I don't recognize a lot of the actors in actress. But like the dude that plays the the head of the military in Mexico is one of the best actors I've ever seen. He's so good. I'm going to tell TPG to stop spamming in chat. It's going to get banned. Just kidding, Tim.

Just kidding. He's only going to see that you're just kidding about 30 seconds. I get you. I'm going to take this to be great. I know. That's why I said it. Is that a typing it? I get you type that too. I know. That's why I said it instead of typing it. But also, Jeff, I'm kind of with you though, in terms of preferring to watch serialized television

or even reality shows right now. And I wonder if that's a cause of being in quarantine and being through this pandemic thing where you almost just want content. Next, next, next, next, next. And you could follow this thing rather than a movie that feels like so much to take in for an hour and a half to two and a half hours and then like, it's done. I don't know.

I kind of understand. Or you're coming from. There's just something I don't like about the format anymore. Like, I tried to watch, sorry, just a little quick. I tried to watch that Dinsel Washington Remy Malik movie recently. Oh, yeah.

And I sat through it and at the end of it, I was just like, it was a good movie, I guess, except it was basically about cops covering up for shooting other people. But I was just like, I didn't do anything for I would, I would have been much happier watching an episode of Love Island, which makes me sound, I don't know how that makes me sound, but I'd rather watch real people interact with the real world, even if it's staged or suit, suit of fake, then a full blown fake narrative. I mean, maybe because it makes you feel connected to the reality.

Maybe that's what I need. Maybe I'm just stuck in home from the pandemic. And that's, maybe that's what it is. I've been watching amazing race. I'm up to season 16 now. And I actually watched Godzilla versus Kong to take a break from that. Because Barbara was saying,

when you're watching a reality show like that that has a ton of episodes You're like, oh next one next time. I'm just gonna blow through this But it's like I don't want to watch an episode knowing that I'm gonna watch another one Like I wanted to know that I was gonna step away from that and I was gonna spend two hours on something and then like That was it. It was done. Yeah, so that's why like I went I took a break from reality TV to watch Godzilla versus Kong And then it's like it's just like almost like a palette cleanser to reset. Yeah, that makes sense. I understand that.

We watched it this weekend, that movie, Godzilla versus Kong. And I was on my pain medication for my surgery. And so this pain medication makes me feel a little high. And watching that movie while in that state was very entertaining. Okay. Because I was just like, I was on the couch with a bunch of pillows behind me, just like

all my pain medication going, whoa. Yeah. There's a lot of points watching. That's free. I mean, if you have each meal, Max, or you can watch your home for free. It's like there's no, there's no reason not to. But if there's there's there's definitely parts of that movie where it seems like they're presenting it almost like a ride. Like I remember like

the the King Kong, you know, encounter at Universal Studios or like the old Universal like back to the future in E.T. rides, where it's almost like the movie shot in some sequences like from a first like they're in a vehicle shot from like the first person perspective of that vehicle as it's like flying around, like King Kong and Godzilla and stuff. And it's like, I felt like I was on a universal studio's ride in a few of the sequences in that film. That's what Trevor and I were saying. We were like, this needs to be a ride.

Like there was one shot in particular. I'm not, it's not gonna spoil anything where they're kind of going around God's, sorry, King Kong is he's climbing up something and he swipes at it and misses and I was like, that's a ride right there. Yeah, it's totally a ride. I don't want to get into a whole King Kong versus Godzilla thing. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I said it earlier,

I'll say it again. I like King Kong. I like Godzilla. I don't understand how Godzilla doesn't just step on King Kong and then breathe fire on his corpse. Like, because King Kong climbs the little spire of the Empire State Building and Godzilla is the size of the Empire State Building. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Well, the movie can't act the lot bigger. I'm sure they make it make sense. But I just it in my head. They're like very same size. Yeah. And this is not a spoiler because it's in the trailer. But I'm going to say it anyway, King Kong has a weapon.

Well, like a gun, like an axe. All right. You see you see him wield it in the trailer. He like, why put it? So it's like, it kind of, when one of the opponents is armed, it kind of evens the playing field a little bit. God's hell is a deal. The arm looks fire breath.

Yeah, yeah, that maybe should have been over very quickly if it was based in any sort of reality on those two beasts. I think I have. And you started real. King Kong, King Kong got beat by by planes. Yeah, yeah, if you yeah, but that was that was the old days. That was a long time ago. Okay. Yeah, he's more powerful now.

Yeah, he has more of a motive. Apparently, well, if King Kong wants to go on a reality dating show, I will definitely watch that. What would it be called? I'd be like, it'd be like monster love or something. It'd be like Godzilla and Mothra and Rodan and King Kong and Wild Seribus and all kinds of great mythological creatures. And then they would be like a love Island where you'd like,

there'd be, there'd be some sort of anonymized dating I would think, maybe a mix between the circle and love, I don't know. Oh, okay, I feel you. I just want them, I would just want them to find love. Happiness. It's gotta be hard. Being a monster, that that size and probably radioactive and the dating pool is probably pretty limited, you know, yeah, in to missies an issue. Queen Kong. Yeah. When was that mass effect coming out? Leave it this month, right? What is that? Is that just all three games? Is that what you must have gave? I think they're all remastered. I'm glad you said something. I forgot about that. If I just want to play two, can I play two or do I?

Oh, that's soon. I think you have to buy all of them. I think it's a bundle. I don't think you can just get one. I still think massive fact to is one of my favorite games. Mass Effect 2 might be the best video game ever. And I think enough time is passed where I've forgotten a lot of it. Yeah, and it'll be good again.

And I think Mass Effect 2 is a good game. I think it's a good game. I think it's a good game. I think think enough time is passed where I've forgotten a lot of it. Yeah. And it'll be good again. And I think Mass Effect 2, I think they realized that they needed to open up the series because I think the original Mass Effect was only on the Xbox platform at the time. I know it's on PlayStation since then. But the way that they start Mass Effect 2 leaves it in such a way where you didn't have

to play the first one. Like if you play the first one, you understand the story a lot quicker, but in Mass Effect 2, like, you die immediately, it's like, it doesn't, it's like, so you can just start fresh essentially in the, in the game if you never played the first one. Are you interested in going back and playing all of them again? Or, because I'm a Gavin. Two is the only one I think that's worth playing. Like, one was tedious and difficult difficult and then three just didn't have

Whatever magic to had or the expectations are too high. I think a two is like such a sweet spot Two is good. Yeah, I'll play all of them. I've rep I've replayed the original Mass Effect since it came out I think with three came out I replayed one. Yeah, I'll replay all three. What else am I gonna do not play them? What what am I loser? That's true. You could play Andromeda. No, I'm not gonna play that. I'm definitely not playing that one. I got my fill to that. Do you know, did any of you beat Andromeda? I did. Did you really?

God, I didn't make it off the second planet. Uh, and it sucks because we never, I mean, obviously the game had problems. We all know that. But we never got the DLC. Like there are big unanswered questions in that core game that DLC was supposed to answer. And the DLC just never came out because it flopped. Like they just cancel the DLC. Right. It's like they're supposed to be waiting for like the quarry and ship that's supposed to show up.

And never shows up in the game. It's like, oh, it's going to be the DLC, but the DLC never shows up. So the ship never comes. So was there a season pass for that game? The people just like, ah, shit. I think they didn't have a season pass. I think they were gonna do the DLC after it came out. I think I could be wrong.

It's been a few years. Interesting. I never really understood the season pass. I feel like it's always a, like, what it, because a lot of games you buy them up front with the season pass, and then it's like, what if I don't like the game? Am I really going to sit through it and all the DLCs? I guess it's cheapest sometimes to buy in just the DLCs you want.

Yeah. Wouldn't you do it after you played the game a little bit or do people tend to buy the season pass before they even play the game? You can buy after you buy the game. little bit, or do people tend to buy the season pass before they even played the game? You could buy after you buy the game, usually it's bundled sometimes into like an ultimate addition. There are games where you don't really know

what the DLC is gonna be like. Fallout 4 had some great DLCs and some really weird little tiny ones. To the point where it's like, I don't think I didn't want all of them. I wanted like the campaign ones. Yeah. To the point where I say, I don't think I, I didn't want all of them. I want to like the campaign ones. Yeah. I think even even then some are some are different scope, right? Because in New Vegas, if I remember right, like some of the campaign

DLCs were really long and some of them were much shorter. So even if it's like, you could get story, but it could be variable length. They might remember that right. The only game that I've got a season pass for is Cludo. There's DLC for that game. And it was just to get the other characters and maps. Like it's not, it doesn't change the mechanics of the game at all.

It doesn't like, it just adds new skins to everything essentially. Oh my God. But I was playing with some people that were all buying it and I was like, I wanted to be completely new. the season pass is way more than the actual game for that. Oh, it's the game is like 499. And the season passes 35 dollars. Could you not just buy the characters individually? No, I don't think so. I mean, maybe you can. I didn't really think much of it. But I was just like,

you know what? I'll treat myself. I've been living at home the last year, not doing anything, but I as well buy myself some new characters in this make-believe game. I got to have three friends who owned the Cludo season pass, and Barbara, you are one of them. I'm one of them, baby.

I did the same thing where I was like, I was just playing. It was like maybe midway through working from home since we started and now. And I was still playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Is that right? The Greek one? Yeah, that's Greece.

Yeah, and I was like, I never get like cosmetic DLCs. I'd never do it. I'm gonna do it. And I spent like nine bucks on a horse. It was the only time I've done it. And I don't know why I picked that game. I just felt right at the time That was a good game. Was it worth it? Did you like the horse? I Should have bought it earlier like I had the the unicorn horn horse for the for most of the game Which didn't cost me anything and then I bought like a really

futuristic like animus lookinglooking horse. But, uh, yeah, I was already pretty much done with the game at that point. Now, but I haven't done the DLC. So now I can do the DLCs with my fancy horse, probably. There you go. So that's a possible move. This episode of the Steve Podcast brought to you by stamps.com.

I bought for a dead by daylight. They had some new killer and a new survivor come out the other day that I bought. I feel like I've not spent nearly as much money on that game as enjoyment as I've gotten out of it because I own I bought it on steam for the PC, but it's part of Xbox Game Pass. So I didn't, you know, I didn't pay for it over there, which makes sense because I paid for it here. But I played that game so much that I didn't feel guilty.

Like the new killer and survival were like seven bucks. I was like, I played this game at least seven bucks worth right? So I bought that on the Xbox the other day. Yeah, I mean, that's a lot. How is it on the Xbox? I've only played it on steam That's fine. I mean, you just got to play with a controller. It's easier to look around when you're repairing with a mouse So you just got to be more deliberate about it like when you use it a controller It's a lot slower to look around when you're doing repairs or like healing someone That game is so I am so bad at that game But it's only because every time we play it we just essentially are like loaded up to start playing immediately

So I never have time to like read through all the different abilities and equipment and stuff like that Which I feel like is a huge part of strategically playing that game. Mm-hmm But we played a couple weeks ago now. We played with Meg Gavin and she just annihilated us within I think it's really good. I think within three minutes, we were all dead. And so she's like, okay. Must be over a thousand hours into that game.

Yeah, she's very good. She's very good. She's just like hanging out on our stream, like drinking and like hanging out on our stream, like drinking, like hanging out and we're just like, ah, I got it. She's putting people on hooks with one hand. That game's fun though. Are you guys excited about any video games right now, other than Dead by Dillet? That's a good question. I mean, I don't know if it's counts, but that new among us Matt came out and it's kind of like reinvigorating a lot of our like interest

in that game because I mean, we've had such a fun time playing that game, but it's the same three maps. So you kind of, you know, it gets a little tiring a little bit at some point, what playing the same three places over and over again. So the fact that they added something very different, that's like not only a different map, but it's bigger, the tasks are different. It adds a whole new level of challenging gameplay to it. So I've been enjoying that.

That's something I was really looking forward to. Hmm. I've never been able to see chat's fun in that. Yes, it is. It's pretty fun. Is it still a mod or is that built in yet? It is still an I lot. Okay.

Yeah. Is that game on the Xbox two or is it just a PC game? I think they said they were it was going to come out, but it hasn't come out yet. I think it's going to be on a switch is what they were going to be bringing it to, which if they haven't already, but yeah, it's on PC. I think it's also on mobile. Yeah, it's just among us will come out on the Xbox in 2021 is all excited. Have you played it all Jeff? No, I've never touched it. I watched Millie play at once. That's all I'll be honest. I I might be done with video games. Um, you're an idiot. Now, like, aside from James of War,

uh, oh my god. I feel obligated to get that one achievement, just because they, it's, they named it after me, uh, uh, but other than that, like, I played Cyberpunk and I enjoyed that okay, but, and I would play. You did? Yeah, I mean, it was

fucking glitched and flawed, but it was still fun and goofy. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it too Yeah, I was like it was just like a dumb action movie I don't know it was fun and silly. I didn't take it too seriously I would play any DLC if if any ever comes out But really good. So yeah, I don't know. I was even I go through the store on Xbox live and just look for anything That's interesting and I and I never buy anything. I played sieves the other day with Millie as like a hangout with her type thing and that was okay.

But yeah, I think all my, it's weird. All my video game interest has been transposed to baseball and basketball cards and trading cards. Like all that time I spent playing video games, I play with baseball cards or I watch breaks online or what. I don't know. What a break. This is making sense to me because Jeff, sorry, interrupt,

but you're one of the people I know who has such a vast knowledge on so many different things and so many different interests too. Like you read books, you play video games, you collect these things, like there's so many things that you do and have interest in that I don't know how you manage your time with all of it. Yeah, I guess you don't.

By dropping video games. Like, yeah like you just like I would you ride the wave of something and then you you get enough of it. Like I was thinking about this with corn dogs the other day. I was actually had this conversation with Gavin. I know I mentioned the Gavin and I never see each other. But yesterday we did hang out. We we had a responsible outdoor bike ride together and it was a bad full it was a bit full it was the first time we hung out I don't know long time this year probably like 10 months and it was the most fun I've

had in a really long time we laughed constantly Gavin Rack direct it was a whole thing but I was explaining to him that I had a realization of the day that like I'm never going to eat another corn dog again you're missing out no why I'm never gonna eat another corn dog again. You're missing out. No, why? I'm not and here's why I was going to Sandeys I used to have a routine. I used to get two corn dogs every Monday at Sandeys I went to go do that. I was eating a corn dog and there has been a

feeling of like bitter sweet malaise and nostalgia every time I eat a corn dog for the last few years. And I realized that I am, I'm more eating the memory of a corn dog than the actual corn dog itself anymore. I know exactly what it's going to taste like. I know every step of the process committed to memory. I've had, I've had a lifetime worth of corn dogs in my 45 years. And I just, I don't think I needed anymore. I think I've had enough. I think I'm going to move on and never have another corn dog. And that's fine. And I'm sort of feel that way about video games. You just like, I feel like I'm setting that.

You've said that about video games every year for the last eight years. Yeah. I'm also buying it. I don't see the parallel. Like how much of a variation can there be in corn dogs? You need a corn dog. You've essentially eaten all corn dogs. You play a video game.

You haven't played all video games. There's of a variation can there be in corn dogs? You need a corn dog. You've essentially eaten all corn dogs. You play a video game. You haven't played all video games. There's so many different kinds of video games. Yeah, but I have played all video games. I did a profession like for like 18 years.

Like, but there's still new stuff that comes out. Like Bob was talking about among us. Like that's really kind of a new type of gameplay that didn't exist before. Really? Because it sounds a lot like that deceit that game we used to play where you've got six people and one, two of them are monsters and you've got to figure out who they are before they kill everybody. It sounds identical. It's pretty similar. It's all very candid. It's not a scene. You know, it's like, I'm not complaining about it. I'm just saying like I feel like I've done it. Like even Cyberpunk, I super enjoyed the fun that it was, but very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, it doesn't, they're not exciting at any, baseball cards are super exciting. I'm having way more fun with that. And like you were asking what a break is.

A break is like a, it's like you go, like on YouTube or Facebook or Instagram, people will buy boxes of baseball cards that are rare or that's not to be baseball cards, it could be X-Men cards or X-Files cards or whatever. And then they just open up the packs and show you the cards and talk about them if you find something rare. And yeah, and it's just like, I don't know, it's

interesting. It's interesting. The same way as an unboxing video is or like Ryan toy reviews or any of that shit is, you know, the kind of red videos. I'm looking it up right now. So they just have like, I guess different brands of baseball cards or different things and they just open them. Well, it depends on what you're looking for. Most of the things. I just type baseball card breaks into YouTube, and I'm just looking at you like that. Look at baseball, look at live baseball card breaks. It's also a way to get cards because you can't buy cards in stores right now.

Like I couldn't go to Walmart or Target and buy baseball cards or basketball cards, it's impossible. Because of the reason. Did you, Market? Did you know I used to collect baseball cards when I was a teenager? Like I used to like, I used to work at a little league field and I would take a lot of the money and I bought a game gear

one of the years, but other than that I would buy like a ton of baseball cards. Really? Yeah. Like you know super into sports. I used to be huge in baseball up until a strike in 94. Hold on. Are you serious? Are you serious? Is this strike in 94 killed you love baseball? That's what you love of baseball. That's what killed my love of baseball. That's why I stopped collecting baseball cards. See, I'm here. I stopped after that. That's cool.

But I had. Yeah, they did that, huh? I have about, I bought a bunch of baseball cards that I never opened. I have like 50,000 unopened baseball cards at my childhood home still, like from 94, 93, 92, somewhere around there. 50,000? Yeah, it's like, like from 94, 93, 92 somewhere around there. 50,000. Yeah. It's like I went to.

Yeah. No, no, no, because I like 1000. Yeah, they had, um, where are they? Because what happened was I, like I said, I worked summers at that baseball field, it's a little league field. And I just got in a bunch of money and I went down to Walmart one day. And they had like I walked when you walked in you had to walk by the customer service desk and at the customer service desk they had a bunch of shopping carts filled with unopened baseball carts and so I went to customer service desk I said what are you all doing with all that and yeah I was like I was like 14 or 15

at the time and they said that it was all like all their unsold merchandise and they were just pulling it out of the back because they needed to clear space and I said well, can I buy it? And I gave them like I don't know like 200 bucks or 300 bucks for like all 50,000 baseball cards and so I was like I was like just I was like leave them here. I need to get my mom to get the mini van That how much space is that is that literally like to shopping cars full of cards? It's way more than that. It was like I God it was a long time ago. I want to say it was like five or six shopping carts filled with Baseball cards. So yeah, I mean my mom came down and with the mini van and she still has them there

If you watch we did that documentary about You know, no, no, no, we did that documentary a couple years ago. I was with you the about immigration And remember in part of that documentary, we go and we open up a storage unit and like we're looking through some of my shit. In the very back of that storage unit is where all 50,000 baseball cards are. Is that it? I gotta go rewatch that to see. Yeah, they're in, I don't know if you see them in that shot, but that's the storage unit. They're in the back of that storage unit. So they're like mint condition. You don't even know what you have. I have no idea. That's it's all unopened. It's all like in the pack. that storage unit. So they're like mint condition. You don't even know what you have. I have no idea.

It's all unopened. It's all like killing the pack. You're probably sitting on a ton of money. Is it baseball? Or like it's all baseball. It was like tops and don't rust mostly. There may have been some upper deck, but I think it was mostly tops and don't. Okay, so you've got six shopping carts worth of unopened baseball card boxes from 1994, I think you said

two to ninety two and ninety four somewhere there. I don't know. Full of shit. No, no, did totally serious. I'll text my mom and I'm sitting on the largest gold line of Don Zimmer manager cards on fucking earth dude. How many simmases he got? He's a zimmer whale. He's got thousands. He's a zimmer whale. You're a zimmer whale. Oh my God. Does that translate to actual like, or would people pay good money for those cards? Jeff.

Gavin hit the button in 3, 2, 1. Fuck face fans would. Oh my God. Can I have them? Yeah. I'm gonna give you 200 bucks for it. 200 bucks. You gotta get it within first from 92 to 2021.

Uh, yeah, can we make content out of it? I guess. Oh, I'll call my mom. I'll call my mom after this podcast and ask her. Uh, you're gonna call your mom, see if you could ask her. It's a killer moment, but ask tell your mom it's for me. She likes me. All right, I'll tell her. Can I go get up today? I could be an eagle pass. Dude, you could be sat on some buns. I can't. It's crazy. That's all worthless.

Unless, unless you're looking for Don Zimmer cards, I mean, come on. That's the reason they were getting rid of it. Nobody was buying it. Okay, well, I still don't have a Zimacot. Gus, how much for a mint Zimma? Okay, well, I still don't have a Zimacot. Gus, how much for a mint Zimacot? How much are, like, three bucks? I don't know. Yeah, I'll do that. I'll do three bucks. Gus doesn't know what he's doing, Jeff.

Yeah, I'll take a three dollar Don Zimacot. Hold on, like, someone says you're a Zimian air. Look at all these hot Zins. You can be sitting on these guys. Just like the ZimZinny right here. That could be on a We should have a contest. There's a contest and have people try to guess out of like all 50,000 cards.

How many Zims there are total in there? All like the jelly beans in the job. But with Don Zimz, there you go. That's a that's what you're going to be. I thousands of you. I have that. That is that is the kind of card that I have 50,000. Oh, by the way, Gavin, this is a bit of a fuck by saying, but I meant to say this. Do you remember we were figuring out on,

oh, sorry, on our other show, our podcast, we were trying to figure out funny cards to collect. And I found one that I really liked of this guy that looks like he died. Yeah, he had a heart attack. I got one randomly just in I bought a box of cards from Goodwill and I got one in there Gavin. So there's the guy clutching clutching his chest. What is he actually doing? No, he's clutching his chest in pain. He's he's laying these a catcher. It's this way. He's laying down. Yeah, it looks like something I'm winded himself or he's asked him to be so happy that he's like, or he had a bad curry right before maybe.

or we had a bad curry right before. Maybe it's a party pack. This episode of the received podcast brought to you by a newest sponsor, BetterHelp Online Therapy.

Yeah, that's true, they are. So you should give them to me. I've actually been begging my mother for years to throw up like 20 years. I've been begging her to throw them away. It gives me, hold on, I'm still having ideas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It gives me a bunch of ideas,

You're on the podcast too, you're listening to everything I say,

but listen to the cues, I try to make them obvious, I give you the countdown. I do it. That time I did it super slow. So let's try it again Well, I was ahead of you that time. I know you're talking about I'm trying to come up with a podcast with a livestream like version show for for our podcast three two See I'm ready you're the one who's keeps What I'll take this part. I'll take this card. I'll take this card, guys, thanks.

So I texted her. I wrote, I can't believe I'm saying this, but if you still have all those old baseball cards from the 90s, I might have used for them. What if she just takes you a picture of them on fire, right? No! She just replied, she wrote, yes, of course I have them. You know me, they would have to pry them off

of my cold dead grip. She didn't say that. Did you really? I fully believe she said that 100%. Okay. Good. So yes, as was discussed, honey, mommy will protect these cards with her life. I told her to throw them away for like 20 years. I'm so glad.

I heard mom didn't. Eric, could you be me for the rest of this podcast? I mean, do you have, you have to go then? Yeah, well, because of someone misunderstanding time zones, who wasn't me, I, yes, I do have to go. I mean, I probably won't be you. We'll just get you out of here. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, it's probably better.

I'll take over, I'll take over the beeping beauties. Okay. I'm trying to blow you up the screen like my app. Oh, yeah. Bye, Gavin. Okay. Bye. Goodbye, Gavin. Making me all the way now. Thank you. Oh, that's better.

I hate that guy. Hi, but, Jeff. Oh, that's better. I hate that guy. Hi, but, Jeff. Oh, shit. Good. Why did Eric say that? He's doing a real good job of being Kevin. Yeah, he is. All right.

Now he's gone. Let's talk shit about him. Are you still at Gavin? Are you still there? No, he's gone. I see he's not in there anymore. He just turns into the actual livestream to watch the rest of it. So, yeah, I'll figure out what we'll do. We'll get him up here and

we should do something with him. We should make a, like, a, when it's safe to make, we should make a journey to your childhood home and document the whole thing to call it or or we could just bring him up. I mean, okay. No, I want to see, this needs to be filmed. I want this to be like a whole production. I apologize for wanting to turn every every facet of life in the content. We could just get them. We could yeah, we could just get them. Oh my God. How long? All right. How long have they been in storage? Then I mean, probably since I went to college in 96, probably somewhere around there. So 25 years. It would be interesting to see.

The toe well, I don't know that that could be funny to make a fun way to make fun of you. So maybe I shouldn't spoil that idea. There's a really funny stuff we could do. There's really funny stuff we could do. 16, 17 years. How much, I wonder how much you've been paying that storage facility for the last seven? That's why I've been trying to get her to throw him away. That's gotta add up. It's not the only thing left in there though, right?

There's other stuff in there too. Okay. There's all that stuff in there too. I keep, that's the main thing I do. Every time I visit home, I go out in my childhood room and there's all my old shit in there, all my old clothes and toys and books and stuff that I collected over the years.

I have Doritos dust on my fingers, by the way, sir. That's really embarrassing. But I keep telling my parents, like I don't need any of this stuff. So you could donate all of this. And every time I come home, it's all still in there. And I feel like maybe they just don't want to give it away. They've just learned a terrible lesson from these baseball carts in Barbara. I'm sorry to tell you.

While we're on the subject, is there anything else in that storage facility that we might be able to make content out of? Are you 100,000 comic books or like there's a bunch of old video games, like old video game collection is probably in there. Any s stuff, you know, I bet you're sitting on some money. Like I bet there's some stuff in there that's pretty valuable. There might be some decent old video game stuff. There might be baseball cards probably not. You remember when we used to go back before Rupert Heath and we did that website drunk gamey, you drunk gamers? I forgot the name of our own website for drunk gamers and we would go do that thing we could did called drunk sailing where we would get up every Saturday morning we'd go around

to garage sales and do the whole bit about it. Um, I, uh, I, I, I, what do you, do you still do that? By any chance, do you still go look? Uh, no, I mean, I, I would be itch in that. I feel like, you know, these days, it's not really good idea to do that. But before the pandemic, I mean, I would go wherever now and then I wasn't like a regular thing, but a couple of times a year, I'd do it. I wonder when the, when the world opens back up again, if maybe that's something that we would be fun to try again. Yeah, I'll be down. From like a, from a, like a trying to get collectibles angle.

I don't know, because I remember we would run into all kinds of stuff. Again, the reason I ask is because I got, you mentioned that you had all those old video game systems that are probably still there. All the ones that I used to collect from when you and I would do those drunk sailing, because that was our focus was old rare video game consoles and games. And I put them all, I was just thinking, I put them all on the attic of that first house we lived in together.

And when I sold that house, the day I signed the paperwork, I thought, oh yeah, all those video games are still on the attic. And then I thought, I guess you're staying in the attic because I don't wanna go up and get them. And so, my entire old rare video game collection belongs to whoever owns that house now. They might not even know it's up there. They probably have gone into the attic at some point.

But yeah, I think so. How often does that happen? Is it one of those addicts that actually is like, an attic or it's a crawl space? It's like, Is it one of those addicts that actually is like an addict or it's a crawl space? It's like, it's one of those addicts that you like, you pull the thing down and the stairs pop down and then you can walk up. Like there's enough addict there to move around

and store stuff, you know? I have not been in the attic of my house, the house I'm living in right now. Yeah, I have an equal actually, two years in a cell, there could be, there could be shit in there. It's possible. It's very possible.

I'm too afraid. I've seen too many horror movies, things living up there that I will, I will never, if I ever have an attic in any place I live, that's stay in a mystery forever. You just sin Trevor. He's expendable. He's also very brave. Yeah, there you go.

Send him with a flashlight and then problem solved. Okay, yeah. And then if he never comes back or gets transported into the body of an old doll, you know, I'll never know. Cause I'm never going in after him. He's an affirms self. I used to live in an apartment that Jeff was afraid of because the way it was laid out, it had an attic.

The attic and it had a loft. The attic and the loft looked just like the attic from the grudge. And he was convinced that an evil spirit was gonna come out of it at any moment. I'll back. I lost you guys for a second there, those weird. You talking about your creepy ass house, your grudge house? Yes, yeah.

Dude, used to make me go babysit your stupid cat, and I would have to go to your haunted house to do it was terrifying I like it wasn't haunted. It was fine. There's nothing wrong in that every day. Mm-hmm. It was fine. I Jeff didn't you like see ghosts at one of your old places he used to live pretty frequently? Yeah, no, I did I had a Pretty frequently. I was at U.S. Yeah. No, I did.

I had a, no, I wouldn't say C ghosts frequently, but I had a bunch of experiences at the house I lived in previously, like Millie's child I don't. And that was part of what spurred my desire to do the Haunt or Ghost Hunting Show, which is like all the kind of weird shit that had happened in that house throughout the course of years and years of experiences. Yeah, it was a very active.

If you believe in that kind of thing, it was a very active house. A lot of weird stuff happened there. Yeah, I've never had any sort of experiences before. Yeah, I have. Especially nothing close to what you have. It's weird because you would be able to communicate. Not like you would be able to talk to,

like when the house would do stuff, you would talk to it. And then like nobody would talk back, but like shit would happen able to talk to, like when the house would do stuff, you would talk to it. And then like nobody would talk back, but like shit would happen. I don't know. Like one time I walked into the downstairs bathroom of that house, I guess it was only downstairs back then because we hadn't put the second floor in yet. And walked into the bathroom and I turned the light on. And like the house would just fuck with you sometimes like it was mischievous and I turned

Because it was an older house maybe yeah, well it was built in the I don't know 20s or so So I imagine quite a few people probably died in it without the course of a hundred years Oh, I met more like old wiring and stuff like that Oh Yeah, yeah, that too, but we had you know, I did a lot of work on it over the years but I went into the bathroom with time and I turned the lights on and the lights, I was going to go and I went to the sink and the lights turned back off and I went knock it off house and I turned the lights on and then I turned the faucet on because I was going to like wash my hands

or brush my teeth or something and then the lights turned off and both towels on the towel rack hit the ground and there was a towel on the towel rack over the shower behind me and they all just hit the ground at the same time when the lights turn off second time and I went okay all right cool and I just left left the bathroom alone for a while. That's like Phasma phobia as I expect you to be like there's dirty water in the sink. No there was no dirty water there was no redis fetus none of that weird stuff but but yeah it was just like it was just like it was weird And that kind of stuff would happen a lot when I live there. Yeah.

Dude, fuck that. I wonder if, maybe you had a mental breakdown. That happens. I'm always trying to think that was last year, but this was way before that. Oh yeah, yeah. Which mental breakdown we talked about here, which year?

We pulled on my diary. Yeah. Do you say? I noticed it. Yeah, do you understand? I noticed it. I just tested me. My nose looks oddly red and I real in this photo. I'm just, I'm realizing through watching this and my nose itching that I have a burn to my nose on my bike ride today.

I guess it's warm enough that I need to start wearing sunscreen. You gotta do that trick where you put sunscreen just on the bridge of your nose. Like you see in all the movies where the uncool dad is wearing that strip of sunscreen right here. Little zinc. We did that with your with your flip down sunglasses. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I finally understand why they do that after seeing like your just your nose is burnt. Do we lose Jeff again?

Yeah. Well, that's a good thing that you know, we've only been doing this for a year and that he's been you know with his teeth for 18 years. Still can't get a shit together. It's all good. I think it's this I record uh Barbie got one of those buttons right? Yeah, I record we'll go in three two one record we'll go in three two one. Yeah, I record that podcast. I didn't realize you're gonna count me in. All right, okay, I record three two one. Fuck.

Nice. Yeah. Every week it worked on my end. It worked in my ears. It's the same. I have no idea why I've dropped my internet connection with a wired connection twice now in the last two minutes. Story well.

What's those ghosts? They hear you talking about them again. I guess you're like, oh, we got to fuck with them. Dude, there is definitely no ghosts in this house with a wired connection twice down in the last two minutes. Story of my life. What's those ghosts? They hear you talking about them again. I guess they're like, oh, we gotta fuck with them. Dude, there's definitely no ghosts in this house that I live in here. This is a, there's no activity. Is that boring house?

Good. I like it for that, I imagine. I like it for it. You get an extra $20,000 for that in the austral market. That's true. Certified non-haunted. Yeah. You got to remember, you don't want to get burned.

What's the thing to say in Australia? Slip, slap, slap. Got to fucking take care of your skin, dude. He's, I've never heard that before. Slip, slap. Oh, yeah. You're talking about putting on sunscreen. It's a, yeah.

Slip into, was, slip into long sleeve clothes. Slap on a hat, and slap on a sunblock. Where is the first country you guys want to visit once you could travel internationally again? That's a good question. Damn. I think it's a weird one. I think I want to go back to Singapore.

I had a really good time there. It's not weird at all. I would love to go to Japan. That's been on my bucket list for the longest time. And there was actually a bunch of people that were supposed to go to Japan last year, I think, end of March. And then this all started happening.

So I could imagine a lot of people are dying to go. It's funny how different the world is. I'm sorry, I'm going to go on to tangent. Well, what about you, Jeff? Oh, I don't know. I mean, I would go literally anywhere, I think, if like, when I can just to be able to go somewhere, but I was, Tokyo would be nice to revisit.

I'll probably go to Mexico first, that will island that I go vacation at sometimes. That'll probably be my first trip, but Gus, please tangent. It's funny, like Barbara was talking about how people were wanting to go to Japan last year. What was that? That was like early March when that was supposed to happen? I think they were supposed to go,

I wanna say like the 20th or so March. That was for a concert or something, right? No, no. There was a concert, but I think a bunch of them were also just going, I think there was, I wanna say my chemical roaming, this is playing here. And it's funny how different the world is, it's only, it's barely been over a year since then.

Cause I remember at the time when they canceled their trip, I was like, no, you should have gone anyway. This, this whole thing's gonna blow over super quick. It's gonna be a non-event. You should have gotten out of the way. What do you, what do you, crazy delaying your trip? And now here we are. I was a hundred percent wrong.

I'm like, it's gone totally the opposite direction of what I thought it would. Hindsight. Yep. So I'm the idiot. I'm ready to admit it. You're not an idiot. I think we all just like really underestimated

the scope of this. I think what would happen with it? I think even there was like that Achima Hunter live thing, y'all were gonna do on the West Coast tour, right? Y'all were gonna go up to Yeah, we're Seattle and LA and stuff and we had a meeting run that may mid-March early mid-March talking about whether or not we should do it and In that meeting it was the same thing. I think I was like, yeah, you know, it's probably gonna blow over

You know out of a bunch of caution. I guess you know if you all wanted to lay it that makes sense We'll just reschedule for like next month or the month after everything will be okay. Fucking hell dude. We're wrong. Boy, we're we wrong. Good Lord. I Had to get my passport We done recently too because I realized throughout all of this like I was in paying attention my passport expired and

I realized throughout all of this, like I was in paying attention to my passport expired. And I wonder how many people are in a situation like that where you're not even paying attention and then certainly you can travel to get your like, oh shit, my passport expired. Yeah, you should definitely check that stuff. I have to worry about my green card expiring at some point and I don't know, I need to look up what I need to do for that. I don't know if it's just like, hey, I still live here. So please don't, please give me some more years on it. Or if it's just like, I have to go through some type of application process to renew it. I have no idea. So I'm a little terrified

of that. That's three more years. Good one to figure out. That's good. You got three more years. Yeah. I got, I got five more years before my green card expired. So I got time. Okay. Good. Knowing me, I'll wait until it's gonna be six months away, and I'll be like, oh, right, far. It was cool when I got my passport redone, Gus. It was at the place that is run by the people that you used to share space with. Oh, yeah, yeah, they run that,

I know what you're talking about, yeah. Yeah, it was cool. I didn't see the guy, Aisa, but I talked to so many other people there. It was really neat. Small world. I saw him, I ran into him. Actually, when I got that passport, where that I just checked on, God, that was a lot. That would have been 2014 then. He was our

landlord for like, what, three and a half years? Really nice guy. Something like that. Yeah. Yeah. He was there when I got that passport a few years ago. It's crazy. Yeah. Small world. That's, that's, I mean, that's a good business to be in. People need that service. Yeah. Yeah. Apparently. And, uh, and you will be in general.

Historically, you will pay just about anything to get it back quickly too. Although, I got my back super fast without even trying. I think didn't, I don't know if anybody else would remember this story. I had to help someone when we were down at the office on Ralph Hablin-Ado. There was someone we were sending to a trip in Canada who didn't realize they needed a passport until like three days before the event.

Yeah. I think it was Miles. I think it was Miles. It sounds right. I had to help him. It was like, oh shit, we got to get you a passport like tomorrow. Well, there's also been a couple of times where we needed some type of travel visa to go to some international places we've gone to for RTX or some other conventions.

And there's been some people. I won't name them who had to do the application for it like at the airport because they forgot. And I'm like, this is stressing me out so much. We leave in like 10 minutes and you're doing as no. Jeff and I had to do that. The first time we went to Australia, we didn't know that you needed a visa to go to Australia. And we went to check in at the counter,

like yeah, we're flying to Melbourne. And the woman who was working at the counter was like, did you get your visa? And I was like, what are you talking about? She was like, oh, so yes, she had to help us get the visa right here at the counter. We get one. Luckily, it's a very quick process. And I think it's just like, you got to pay like 25 bucks

or something like it. Yeah, we felt pretty stupid, though. We definitely got to read the riot act a little bit. But it was really so. She gave us a guilt trip about it. But it was. I don't know what would have happened if you would have showed up without your visa. I think they did not even get up. Yeah, they could just can't let you on the plane.

I think they're not supposed to, but if you do get on the plane that once you get to passport control at the other country that they just reject you, they send you right back. We did you ever watch that show border control? I see it before. Yeah. Yeah, Jeff, I feel like you would love that show too. I've never heard of it. What is it?

It's just, there's different countries that they do. There's one in Canada. I think there's one in Australia. And I want to say there's one in the US, where they essentially, it's like a docky series, where they just follow Border agents as they get people who are coming into the country. And they deal with a lot of people who

like don't have proper visas or are bringing in something illegal or something like that. It's really fascinating because it's real life situations and scenarios. So seeing what people try to get away with when they come into different countries is very fascinating. That's super interesting. Where can I watch it? I know there was a season or two on Netflix a while ago. I'll look it up and I'll text you about it. Millie just got board of security. For us. I don't know if that's the one I've seen,

but this looks like it. Millie just got me on one call. Have you guys heard of Night Watch? I think is what it is. It's about New Orleans, and it's about the EMS, the fire department, and the police station and they follow them all for a night.

And it just, so it's just like, it's kind of like cops but like right along, but it's more heartfelt than that because they're learning the stories of the, like the EMS drivers or like, the firefighters or whoever or the paramedics. But it shows like people getting shot, it really what, it shows like a lady on her eyeball bit now, it shows like people getting shot. It really what it shows like a lady on our eyeball bit now. It shows like people get sliced up.

Yeah, like it is the most gruesome thing I have ever seen on television. And I don't know how they can show it. It is they'll show like open knife wounds. They'll show car accidents with like mangled legs. It is. Yeah, I don't want to see that. I don't need to see that. I'm good. I just I just popped in my head when you're talking about the border thing.

It just reminded me. It's like, it's hard to watch. It's crazy. I saw one, I saw a similar TV show. I saw a TV show about lifeguards in Australia a few years ago. And there was one episode that I saw where they, there a like a tourist, I think it's in Bondi Beach and Sydney, but there's a tourist at the beach who is drowning.

So the lifeguards have to go out and save him and they pull him out of the water and pull him onto the beach. And he's not breathing, his heart stopped. Like they have to do CPR on him. Like he's just face his face is blue and it looks like he's a dead body. And they're doing CPR on him and He starts like he starts coffee comes back to life like he starts coughing

He starts breathing that to put him in an ambulance and taking the hospital and then they do a follow-up or like Like the next week that guy that they saved comes back to the the lifeguard station to thank all of the lifeguards and They show him the footage of him getting pulled out of the water and being put under the beach. And this guy's watching the footage and he's looking at it and he goes, I'm dead. Like it clicks at him at that point. Like he's looking at his own lifeless body right there. And he's like, I'm dead.

You guys brought me back to life. And it's just like such a weird thing that he sees. And you can see like the realization come over his face that he's extremely lucky to still be alive. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah, that's dark.

I don't ever want to think about that stuff. That stuff just makes me icky inside. Yeah, it's well, it's one thing to see it, right? Like there was an episode of that night watch show I just watched where a guy OD, a guy and his girlfriend both OD at like a dinnies or some diner and they were dead for minutes and they were able to bring him back and they were talking to the guy in the amails as they're taking him and the lady was like, you flat diner and they were dead for minutes and they were able to bring them back

and they were talking to the guy in the amelons that's taken them and the lady was like you flat one you were dead you died of a drug overdose and the guys like that's rough and he like didn't seem effective by it all but I can't imagine watching yourself die and being like that's my dead lifeless body there and you watching people bring you back to life that's insane. Did they talk about their experience like what they felt or saw when they were going through that? and you're watching people bring you back to life. That's insane. Mm-hmm. Did they talk about their experience, like what they felt or saw when they were going through that? He didn't remember anything.

I think he just remembered being out in the water and the next thing he knew, he woke up like in the hospital. Oh, Jesus. That's cool. I think if I remember right, he was a tourist from another country. So he didn't speak English, if I remember right. So it's like they had to get an interpreter. So he was very limited in his communication.

I don't want to die. Well, in popular opinion there. Yeah. If you could live to be a thousand would you? Oh, easily. Easily. I would love, love to live forever. I want to be, no, I want to be the non-sword fighting version of a high live forever. I wanna be, no, I wanna be the non-sword fighting version

of a highlander. Do you want the option though, if you were like, okay, I've seen it all, I've done it all, I'm ready. Kind of situation where do you want to just be immortal? Eternal life, no matter what. So I feel like that, we talked about it last week on the podcast, I think, or a different show. I don't remember this point about how like, that's some level of torture it feels like.

Well, you know, I will say that my opinion on that has evolved thanks to the... Did you guys ever watch the good place? No. Oh, okay. Well, I don't want to spoil how that show ended. It's okay. I'm not going to watch it. It ended similarly, and I do think that at some point you would want there to be an end. I think it's necessary, right?

But you talked about how I, like you were mentioned earlier about how I get super into stuff farb and then I just kind of consume it and then I move on. I'm interested in almost everything. And I would love an infinite amount of time to be able to explore those interests. I would love to be able to soak up all the things that I find unique and peculiar and wacky and fun and scary and exciting. Yeah.

I assume you're talking about like maintaining a certain standard of living, like not suffering from your body falling apart for being old and not like curious. Yeah, I envision it where, you know, by the time I'm like 65 or so, there's enough technological advancements that, you know, if you've done, you know, you could like,

get some sort of nanotech infusion that just kind of like, maintain your health level at that point. Cause I don't, I don't want to be at like, climbing mountains and stuff. Like I've done all the dumb physical stuff. I was talking about this with Gavin the other day when we were riding bikes.

I was like, I don't ever want to, like I took a tumble on my bike recently and I got pretty fucked up. And it's like, it's my yearly like, oh, Jeff's in the emergency room kind of moment. And I just am sick of that. I'm sick of like physical therapy and being hurt, and it was, I was telling you how it's,

I think it must have been what it was like, a couple years back, Johnny Knoxville tried to do a flip on a motorcycle and it didn't work. It was in the desert and the motorcycle fell on him and it crushed his dick. And he has to self-cathetered P. I don't know if he still does, but for about six years after that moment,

he had to self-catheter four times a day. It was the only way he could pee. His dick didn't work that way anymore. And then it was like over time, slowly build the muscles back up so that he could pee normally again. I don't want to any long lasting effects of any dumb physical stuff I do anymore. So I kind of just want to be old and boring and read books and and you know I don't know playing the end of retirement. Yeah, right? No, I get that and I'm with you. I wish there was like some way to live This is gonna sound like of course

Never attainable never realistic. Whatever, but this is just like my brain going wild with it. Of just, you could live however long you want to and you're immortal so that you also can't be hurt or like killed accidentally. It would be essentially your choice. I feel like obviously humanity would be a very different beast if that were the case. I also don't know like if and when people would choose, if they ever would choose, that's a whole another question

but It's definitely food for thought. Yeah, yeah, it's it's weird because like we As it stands now, we know we are mortal obviously we cannot choose You know that the doctors cannot help us if you want like if you're if your quality of life is bad and you know You don't have a good prognosis, you cannot choose to end your own life, right? You can't go to a hospital and say, you know, I know that I have a terminal illness and I'm not going to survive it. Can we just do something about it? Like they're going to do their best to keep you out. There's only a few countries in the

world, I think, where you can make that decision. It would be interesting if once everyone's immortal, if that decision would be more accepted, like if people would be more willing to let you make that choice or not. That's interesting, yeah. That is very interesting. Or like if you had to be a certain age or have lived a certain amount of time before you're allowed to make that decision.

Now what a bummer. I wanted to end the podcast, but I feel like that's a fucking... Well, I mean, the whole point of it is, is just like, if you want to rephrase it, like I want to experience so much more of the world and of people and of life, I just don't want to, I just don't think one lifetime is going to be enough.

Gotta cram in everything you can. I'd like to, yeah. While still being physically safe, and so I don't have to go through any more physical therapy for my shoulder. Yeah. Which, all right. All right, well, let's go ahead and wrap up this podcast.

Thank you for watching. We'll see you guys again next week. We'll be back in and we'll find out what's going to happen with baseball cards at some point. I don't know what we're going to do. You're not pranking me. This isn't an Andrew prank. No, no, no, no, no. It's not. You haven't spoken to Andrew Pantin about this. I don't even know how to get in touch with Andrew Pantin.
