I'm Gus. I'm Gavin. I'm Andrew. I'm Barbara. And
I'm Gus. How do I make you quiet? I'm loud. You're so loud. Yeah we're in our
in our in our temporary audio space. The main space is being used for something else right
now. I walked in there. I forgot that we were in this room today. You put on the calendar invite. I don't. I know,
I'm the one who wrote it. I thought something else was going to be filming there today, but the
other thing got postponed. I thought, oh, maybe we're back in there and I walked in and they were
filming something I wasn't expecting. I mean, how would they know? I think we're going to be in
that at five o'clock on a Monday. There's no way they could have known.
It's unknowable.
I do like doing it in here though.
I was looking forward to doing the podcast in here.
We do tails from the stinky dragon in here.
I don't know if we mentioned that last time that we were in here for RT podcast.
I think we did.
I think we mentioned that we do not all of them, but mostly audio podcast in here.
You guys did a bleep face in here
for the first time in person, right?
Did a little office day.
Yep.
Do they have to drag all this setup in and out of here
every time you guys do a different job?
They don't.
Thank God.
I think they bring in stuff.
The cameras.
Okay, thank God.
I'm just, my heart just sank for the behind the scenes,
all the tech people and the people running the show and broadcasts
That's a move that's it. Oh, that's it every time like oh, no, we're moving it out. They're doing the podcast in here. No, I
We talked about this recently, but there was one episode of the podcast we did back at the old studio when we were in the annex and like
10 minutes before we went live the
Place where the electricity comes from the pole into our building exploded and melted. So we had no power. So we had to pick up
every camera and light we could and then run across the parking lot to our other studio
and set it up to live stream from there. And that was like a mad dash. I was like everyone
grabbing as much equipment as they could and running ended up in the back in the conference room.
Right, right. Well, we used to do it. Right. Yeah, that was fun.
That was madness. I went to, I went out of town. I went to Vegas last week.
Greg about it. It was nice. It was hot as hell.
And your monthly vacation. Did you go see the seven inches of lake
mead that still left? So I got in a taxi there.
I was taking a cab, I forget where I was going, but it's one of those rides where it starts out
and the cab driver's totally normal. And then by the end of it, he was talking about how the drought
in the Western United States was a hoax and how water was just being dumped into the ocean.
And I was like, um,
but I've seen the photos are like me. It's like, yeah, it's low because they're dumping it
all out into the ocean. They're doing that to artificially increase the price of electricity
and water. Like they're just turning on a thing and draining it. Right. Like helicoptering
it out. No, like they're just letting it go. They're like opening a spigot and draining
the meat into the ocean. It's like, I don't think that's how that works.
It really is crazy.
The lengths some people go to to rationalize things
that they don't understand in their brain
to come up with these insane conspiracies.
It's just like, I don't think these people
are coming up with anything.
But I just, I have to, no, I know.
It's simply not like a, I think their own thought.
I think it's definitely something
that's like a public conspiracy theory. But it's not like a, I think their own thought. I think it's definitely something that's like,
a public conspiracy theory.
But it's also like, who's doing it?
Who's dumping the water?
Why those people?
Ladies, who is they?
We bono, who benefits, like find,
like just like, who benefits from that?
Like wild, it's like, it would take so much more energy
to pump water from Lake Mead,
like an eighth of the way across the country
because Vegas is not super close to the ocean.
Significantly inland.
It's significantly inland.
Like to pump that amount of water all the way to the ocean would require way more energy
than I think you would get from like raising like water.
It's not going to pay four cents more for a kilowatt.
It's exactly like, that makes no financial sense to any,
like in any area.
I think aren't the electricity rates,
and you don't live there, I'm not looking at you.
Aren't the electricity rates in England
about to go up like 80% because of Ukraine, Russia?
I believe so.
Like next month the
Electricity bills or whatever they they pay for powers in about like 80%
But you got you got you got trust there. Boris is out. It's it's a trust out
Liz lose trust she's in
No nothing. I've known nothing about this person. I don't know
Just like okay cool. I guess who I don't know anything. Just like, okay, cool. I guess.
I don't know who this is.
It's basically the last thing the queen did, I think,
was in state hers.
I feel like Liz Truss is forever going to be
like that, eventually will be like that obscure
Prime Minister trivia fact.
Like, who was the last Prime Minister
to visit the queen or the first Prime Minister
to visit King Charles? It's like it's going to be Lister. He will forever be remembered
and be a bit of trivia just because of the timing of her taking over the Prime Minister
office. I read a fact that when the Queen became Queen, Winston Churchill was in as prime minister and him and Liz truss
Would born 101 years apart
That crazy
My brain cannot like actually I can't she was also the queen for
14 US presidents
14 US presidents which is 30% of the president. We've had Biden is 46. Yeah, and I think she was in a like
32 or something. Oh my god. I also know like I think it was just in true
I was saying that like there was 17 prime ministers or something like that in Canada during her
Rain rain or something like that conversion makes sense 17 14
There you go. It's about right. Yeah. I Did anyone else text Gavin the second they heard the queen died?
Because I did.
I was like, I'm sorry about your queen.
Because it's I mean, like, you know, obviously,
she rained for a very long time, but also like, it's your queen.
She's been, the queen as long as like multiple generations
of your family.
And it must have been like a bit of a shock.
I think it's quite shocking just because
she was the queen so long.
Like she was the queen when like grandparents
were teenagers, like that's to that extent.
We're never dancing to Chubby, to the twist.
Yeah, and we discussed earlier.
Yeah, the number one hit for the longest time.
Yeah, I wasn't sad or anything.
She looked a damn long time.
Very little.
It's quite, how old was she?
96.
Yeah, the age, it's quite. How old was she? 96. Yeah.
The age where it's like, the shock comes
because of the reign of tenure,
not that a 96-year-old woman
has shuffled off this mortal coil.
That is much more understandable.
And it is weird to say you like long live the king now
when the king is like 73 is something.
How is Chelsea?
He's, he finally got a job.
Congrats to him. Yeah, bravo
That resume is just
How much one sentence long a large omaker 1980 to present
what's the next
To potential queen in the succession
It's like not for like another what six or seven different. I think it's like three or four.
Oh really?
It's Charlotte.
And I just because I read a fucking story about it,
it's about the Charlottes, the kid of William.
William, right?
I believe so.
But if William's son has a kid, then it'll be him, right?
Unless it's a daughter.
Right.
Basically, there'll be a different woman.
Right.
And then it transfers to John Goodman.
At some point during the graphic of all the generations of Corgis that she had,
she had like one Corgis that was a descendant, like 16 generations up from all of it.
It's like a dog family tree. It's crazy.
Oh, yeah, yeah. It's like this corgi was like the,
like a descendant of the first corgi on the British island.
Like it's like this one's been here since like the Romans came.
Like it's telling other dogs to leave the country.
I wonder if anyone ever told the queen a dog don't shop.
Here's an etching of the, of the first corgi
here next to Adrian's wall. It's like good Lord.
Oh yeah, I've seen it. They could be traced back to multiple corgi generation.
She thanked his Tyler. He sent me the info on it. She was given her first corgi as a gift on her
18th birthday in 1944. There was a corgi named Susan. That seems like a, what a corgi's name would be like in 1944.
Susan, Susan, Susan, Ethel, Margaret, Olivia, just a bit.
Barbara, yes.
But then sugar's offspring were named sugar and honey.
It's like you go from a very serious person's name to like,
yeah, then like cookie dog names after that
Cookie is a good dog name. Oh, that would be
I had to tell the bees I heard that they have you have to tell the you have to tell the royal bees
That the Queen has passed is that the origin of the same go whisper to the bees?
Yep, you have to go tell you have to go tell the bees that what is the bees?
whisper to the beast. Yep.
You have to go tell the bees that,
what are the bees?
In the like royal apiary,
the like actual honey bees.
Actual bees.
Actual bees.
Yeah.
How do you, do you just go, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz like, the Queen is dead. But good news, there's Charles and-
Not your Queen.
Not your Queen is still here.
You're still-
I can't be freak out.
They like, no, they like, they have to go tell them
that, yeah, the Queen is dead.
Or like, you have to tell the B's certain things.
Like, when someone dies, when someone gets married,
and something else, there's like three things
you're supposed to do.
Is this a real thing?
Yes. And you tell the Nishin is weird. It's tradition, yeah. I don't three things you're supposed to do. Is this a real thing? Yes.
And you tell the dishes in English?
It's tradition.
Yeah.
I don't know if it's an English tradition.
I think it might be, it might be just a,
like a folklorish tradition.
Not necessarily a royal one, but I'm not sure.
I just like heard about it.
And that's when the monarchy is a weird tradition.
Yeah.
I watched this.
There's a real fight for you.
If I'm gonna fall open,
I just want to read this headline from Vanity Fair.
The Queen's bees have been informed of her passing.
Ha!
It's an important step.
All, yeah, like all 80,000 of them have the Queen's bees.
You're supposed to cover it, like,
I think I read somewhere like,
you're supposed to cover the beehives in like black cloth. No, no, joke, you're supposed to cover them in I think I read somewhere like you're supposed to cover the the beehives in like black cloth
No, no joke. You're supposed to cover them in black cloth. They're not morning. Yeah, seriously. Yeah
You're supposed to invite them to to like major weddings that was the other thing
So it was like birth deaths and wedding. How would you bring them? Do they all wear tuxedo?
You're just supposed to you're just supposed to invite them. They're just, it's one of those things where I'm like,
I just want to be invited. I'm not going to go. Like just like, and what if they show up
and your meal counts all all? Exactly. Yeah. That's our CP, our CB.
How many generations of bees did the queen oversee? That's what I want to know.
She, she had the original bees that were right over. Yeah. Maybe that's one of the corgis name was Honey.
Who knows?
I saw this whole mini documentary about what happens when the queen dies.
It's called Operation London, or London Bridges Down, I think is what they say.
It's Operation.
Not Operation.
London Bridges Down, I think is what it is.
Operation London Braille.
Like what?
And apparently like all newscasters before reporting on it have to like change to like
black clothing and like there's all these different steps that happen and like all these
different scenarios of like where she passes and what happens depending on where she passes
and what the whole like what happens to London when it happens like a whole city shuts down
all the flags go and half mass like all these different steps that it takes and it's like wildly complicated.
I'm sure she wouldn't even want that.
Like she was pretty no fuss.
Like when I think when she was queen for like 90 years,
she was like, look, some people live a long time, all right?
It's just what happens.
I'm queen because I've lived a long time.
Crack on.
Crack on.
Crack on.
Oh, yeah, it's when I was trying to think like,
oh, what can we talk about?
Is there any news?
No, most of the day I was seen by them.
And like, I remember working with like,
all right, you had the queen died.
What, but there's new iPhones, Gus.
There are new iPhones.
Did you hear about the new feature?
Now you don't have to worry about the SIM tray,
because it's not in there.
What's the SIM tray?
It's where. SIM card would be? Yeah, exactly. They're basically promoting the fact that they removed the SIM tray because it's not in there. What's the SIM tray? It's where SIM card would be?
Yeah, exactly.
They're basically promoting the fact
that they removed the SIM tray as a feature
that you know long, I guess what?
There's no longer this, this little tiny
inconsequential sliver right here.
You know what?
I wasn't actually that worried about that.
That was fine in there.
Yeah, I'm with you.
I was losing no sleep about having a SIM tray.
The only thing that bothers me about it is that something could happen to the SIM.
Like it could break or it could stop being read.
Like I've transferred my SIM between a few different phones now.
So the SIM in my phone is several generations of phone old.
Oh, I have no problem with the SIM, I use it.
But if I want to knit back to England, I could just shove my English SIM in.
But you didn't use it as a, but if I want to knit back to England, I could just shove my English sim in but you know
Well use it as a virtual e-sim I could but I I can't convert my current UK
Simmin to an e-sim from here. I'd have to like
Do you know how to have a plan on your phone that just lets you use your phone
Internationally as you would in the US. Yeah, then why do you need a difference in?
All right, just so I can people who know I'm home can use my little number because it's Gavin and you want to make it needlessly complex.
Yeah, I'm not dead.
I can, they're both in there.
They're both in there.
The UK sim is in there and the US is an E sim, but now they're both going to be E sim.
Did you have to tell your UK sim that the queen passed away?
I did.
I put it in black and white.
I shut it in and I broke the sim track.
You have to whisper to it.
It's just the way that they describe the removal of something is like a great thing.
It's just like, yeah, subtractive innovations where it's like,
we've made this better by taking something away.
Yeah, it made it better by changing the way the camera looks.
I know some people had issues with like the three.
It's largely the same.
Is it not just two now?
That's the four, the pro still has three.
Okay.
The regular one has two.
Yeah, they had, they were, there was like rumors that it was, was no longer, it was
going to be recessed.
So you wouldn't have this like little piece that stuck out, yeah.
Yeah, but not this time, not this time, baby.
Didn't you used to have a Android?
Oh, I made my thinking of Drew.
Oh, yeah.
Drew had an android now he is an iPhone.
I think he gave in.
I think he.
Thank you, finally switched.
But no, yeah, I was thinking about that when I got this one.
And then they announced the 14.
I was like, when is the next thing?
You know what I mean?
When is the next, not evolution, but revolution,
gonna come in that technology because I feel like for the most part we're just kind
of like tinkering with like small things and like just kind of like majoring in aesthetics.
There's one of those things like I don't even think we've thought of it yet. I don't
even think that we've gotten to like it'll be a while. I feel like every major step
four like that you're looking at like 20, 25 years, if you're lucky.
Or something happened, like, I mean,
the internet really took off in what?
94, when it really started exploding,
then, you know, cell phones and 98 or so, 97.
Yeah.
It's when they became a lot more accessible.
And then I mean, we'd looking at like a smartphone,
like we know it today in 2007.
So yeah, I mean, there's,
oh, I guess it's been a while then.
Yeah.
15 years now.
Yeah.
Mm.
We're closing in on it.
Mm.
Well, I'm like thinking, like, you know,
I was having this discussion a little while ago.
Just about like how the, like, we did it with trains.
Like trains are it, that is, like,
that is the pinnacle of like moving lots of people. Vast distances very quickly for very cheaply. It with trains. Like trains are it, that is the pinnacle of like moving lots of people,
vast distances very quickly for very cheaply.
It's trains, it's always been trains,
we figured it out.
The next, there's not,
the next thing to like revolutionize,
it's going to have to be such a gigantic leap
in technological advancement.
Like we can't, it's gonna be like teleportation.
It went from like trains to smartphones to something else.
Yeah, it's like whatever that next thing is.
Cause like everyone's trying to like reinvent
mass trends, like, oh no, no, it'll be this,
like it'll be this some stupid hyper loop thing.
It's like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
that's dumb.
That's really stupid.
It's trains, it's always been trains for in terms of like
efficiency, efficiency in moving large groups of people
best to count. Like maglev is like a new, canoe well that's still a train though isn't it?
It's still a train. The count is just like a training improvement but not like a new thing.
Yeah that's a fast train. It's a fast train. No yeah no I know maglev and like you know
the like the the uh you know Japanese trains that like go like 700 miles an hour or something insane,
like awesome, great, but it's still like the same essential technology of like,
yeah, crane cars, it really is, in my mind, it's really just going to be like, okay,
the thing that after trains is like faster than light or teleportation.
It's got to be something like that just completely changes. Trains, maybe 200 miles now to foster the light. Yeah, exactly.
No, I mean, like what,
I think either that, because other than that,
it's just making trains faster.
And yeah, you want it to not be a tube full of people
moving it, it needs to be a new thing.
Yeah, it's a tube full of people
that all get teleported together.
Yeah, exactly.
That get, they get fly to that get,
they get cronin' birds together, and some weird goop.
Have you ever read about how trains have a relatively low maximum grade that they can
go up as far as an incline?
Because the wheels make such a small surface area contact with the rails.
Oh, because they're not like grip.
Right.
Like each wheel of a train, the contact surface with the rail is about the size of a postage stamp.
What?
Shit.
Yeah, so the maximum grade they can go up,
it's typically for a like a passive,
for a high speed railway between 2.5 to 4%
and for a freight train, it should be like 1.5%.
So it's a very slight incline that they can go up
and that's it anymore.
I guess they've never really.
And they start slipping.
I guess I've been really tunneled.
I guess I've been really tunneled. I guess I've been really tunneled. Like upward slant that a train has done up over. Right, because it's it. And more. And they start slipping. I guess that's really tunnel. I guess I've seen like a whole,
like upward slant that a train has on it before.
Because it's impossible.
It's impossible, yeah.
Yeah, you need like a jet assist or something on the back.
Right, that would have to be something else.
Or really strong caboose.
That, that's a great piece of information
that I will just like,
neatly tuck away in my brain and never think about.
Because it's like a little disturbing
to think about that.
Oh no, you're gonna pull it out sometime,
like conversation five years from now
with a random group of people at a bar.
Hey, I think I read this like five years ago.
It's like one of those things
that's been like brewing around in the back of my brain.
Like one day, we're gonna talk about trains on the podcast.
And I'm gonna have this ready back there.
Train is absolutely the supreme superior method
of transportation. Right.
Slow on them fly.
I don't care.
It's more.
It's so comfortable.
You get on, you put bag away,
and it's like you can get up and walk around,
you can do all the things, you can use the bathroom,
you can eat, you can sleep,
all that stuff, and it's very comfortable.
And also, just like getting a look out the window,
it's usually a fun easy way to pass the time.
Plus you don't have to wait 30 minutes after takeoff
to get up and use a bathroom.
Exactly. Also, well, not, I mean, that's,
I guess, a selling point.
No traffic or delays usually, right?
I've been on some delays, but not like air flying.
I would say that trains in every,
trains in every other country are better than trains here. I took a
sleeper car train from here to Chicago and because the commuter rail Amtrak lines used the same
rails as the freight lines, anytime there's a freight train on the rails, they have right of way because they're commercial.
So the commuter trains, the like Amtrak people trains have to go off on switch tracks and
let those buy.
It took 12 hours to get from Austin to the Texas border.
Oh my God, it would be faster to drive.
It 100% would have been like you can get from Austin to the Texas border in five by car.
Like you're you're there.
Yeah, but trains are so fun.
It is fun except we stopped literally we literally stopped every hour on a switch track
and stopped there for at least 30 to 45 minutes.
So you were doing that all the way to the Texas border and eventually it took so long.
Like once we got out of Texas, I got a little bit the Texas border and eventually it took so long like once we got out of Texas
I got a little bit better, but then it eventually took so long that we got I was going with a friend of mine
We were going to
pitchfork music festival there in Chicago and we were going to miss the first day because we were already like so far
Day yeah, we so I
Shit you not we got out in St. Louis and rented a car and drove the west of the
West of the way and we beat the train.
Did you flip off the train is just by we beat the train there by eight hours.
That's ridiculous.
Hey, that system doesn't look this country's perfect as well inside.
It's massive.
It'd be great for a really fast like east to west train.
If there was a train we can take from here to LA,
that would be amazing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My change in my change in my change.
Yeah, just hop on the train.
Even in New York, St. Louis, St. Louis, Dallas,
and then Dallas, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Seattle.
It was probably only cost about $50 trillion
to put that into effect.
We build it bit by bit.
We can start here.
Let's start with central Texas connect Austin, Dallas and Houston
And if there's enough money left over San Antonio
An hour and a half from Austin. Yeah, I live in Austin. So that's what's important to me if we need to cut something
I'm just saying that's just down 35. How much? Oh, sorry. No you know that it's a different subject
How much have the US government spent on rail? I think
I'm all looking up. Okay, but I think a good tangential question to that is how much have the
airlines been subsidized by the government and could that money be used to invest in rail instead?
Ooh, US government. I think it's a big thing that like, you know, the argument from the massive oil lobby that keeps
commuter rails going from coast to coast is I think it's like, oh people like we'll lose out on
like profits from like driving across the country. It's like only from like only from commuters,
like only from people who like, I want to like take a road trip or go to LA or something like that.
like only from people who like, I want to like take a road trip or go to LA or something like that.
Like freight lines,
like tractor trailers, that kind of stuff,
will still operate on oil and gas
and driving across country
because they have to because it's such a,
you know, weight and freight intensive thing.
So it's like, just give me my community
to be able to Los Angeles.
Just give me the high speed train from able to Los Angeles. Just give me the one, the high speed,
the high speed train from here to, so I can get to Portland unless
they're like, you know, 14 hours. It looks like in 2020,
24.5 billion dollars were spent on public transit and railroad
construction in the United States. 24 billion. Yeah. Yeah.
50 trillion easily. You get there in a few years.
You know what happened to Jeremy this weekend coming in for Uno. No. Well, not just Jeremy,
but a bunch of travelers, the Austin Airport on I believe it was Thursday morning. And he was
Wednesday and Thursday both. power complete lost completely lost power
And so Jeremy's flight I think was gonna get canceled and it got I think he got on a flight to Dallas and then drove to Austin. Oh shit. Yeah
I think the on Wednesday was out for like a three or four hours in the morning in the morning and then on Thursday
It went out again, but it was a shorter time on Thursday
I wouldn't say it was like an hour maybe on Thursday
I think it was Wednesday he was coming in. Shouldn't a building that important be connected
multiple times to the grid? Like how does it, how do I have a power bill? There's like a transformer
that works. I believe so. Yeah, but still it goes through one transfer, have two. What do you mean?
It's an app poll. Pretty important. Right. I don't know him. Three. Let's get three. That's like
nucleopaloplont levels of connections.
Even when, you know, we had our website
hosted in a data center in South Austin,
it had three different points
where power came into the building,
and they made it a point to put it on different sides
of the building.
That way, there was no like one point
to feel like, oh, if the lines get knocked down there,
it's still coming in on this other side.
No, ABA is a extension cord.
Just like running through the grass.
It just plugged into Dallas.
It's plugged into a power strip with a little switch on it,
but it doesn't have a red light.
So you don't know which side is on it, which one's off?
You gotta lie.
You gotta be like, is it?
There are so many flickering when getting in there.
I guess that's getting.
There are so many things about the Austin airport that are so fucking stupid.
Hey, we're back.
Hey!
But especially, I don't know if you guys have had to take an Uber
from getting into Austin to wherever you need to go,
but you need to walk six fucking miles to get to the Uber station at the Austin airport.
It is a trick. And there's definitely- There's not supposed to have done that to the Uber station at the Austin airport. It is a trick.
And there's not really.
And there's not really.
And there's not really.
And there's not really.
And there's not really.
And there's not really.
And there's not really.
And there's not really.
And there's not really.
And there's not really.
And there's not really.
And there's not really.
And there's not really.
And there's not really.
And there's not really.
And there's not really.
And there's not really.
And there's not really.
And there's not really.
And there's not really. And there's not really. And there's not really. And there's not really. And there's not really. They had to get a taxi to get to like another place and like another They were in their early 70s when they started they were in their early 80s when they got there
Right, but I think you hit the nail on the head there barber. I think a lot of that is
The taxi industry
Muscling out ride shares because the taxis are still right in front of the airport
Mm-hmm
And like they want to make the taxi the more convenient option you see first before you keep walking, having a head over for a ride share pick up. Right share, yeah.
Hmm.
I just park at the airport now, every time I travel.
Oh, yeah.
Just like I'm not dealing with that Uber situation.

I flew out of the austen airport on Tuesday, so I missed the power outages. However,
I had something happen to me that I've never had happened before. Yeah, too much power.
I had too much power. Yeah, we stole it. We took it with us. It's guessing it, not chill.
I was going to fly from... I definitely not. I was going to fly from Austin, Houston,
in Houston, in Vegas. It got on the... It ununited, got on the plane, boarded, closed the door,
pushed back, and we're sitting there, and Esther turns to me, she goes, someone smells bad
in here.
I was like, I had to smell a little weird, and then, you know, we're waiting, and then the
pilot comes on the, on the PA's, like, so people in the back of the plane reported a strange
smell.
We're going to go back up to the gate and have maintenance check it out.
Like, okay, that's weird.
I was like, well, maybe they'll check it out.
In my head, I'm like, maybe it's just like the toilet or something.
That's what I would assume.
Yeah, like it's blocked up or something.
So, you know, we pull back up to the gate, they open the door.
It's like two or three minutes and they come on.
They're like, yeah, everyone needs to go ahead and get off the plane.
Like, fuck.
All right, fine.
So everyone gets off the plane.
And like, everyone immediately is like getting in line to talk to the the gate agent
So I'm like, I'm gonna wait. It's probably just it's probably just a toilet. They'll be done
Like they've got to clean the toilet out. It'll be like 10 minutes. Yeah, then they come on there like yeah
I mean it's out there looking at the engines. They don't know what the problem is. Oh shit
What happened ended up like
Rebooking on another flight and ended up only being delayed like three hours, okay
Like I ended up on like
The next flight to Houston and the next flight to Vegas. Rebook all you guys on that flight on like a new flight
No, because they didn't know how long it was gonna take
Yeah, I don't think stinky engine is in the manual
Just like looking out like looking out the window and just saying like two guys just like hands on hips, looking up at the engine and just like, poking on the stick and then smelling the stick,
I'm fucking, I'm really both good at it.
The point is COVID.
I am not doing this.
That's what I figured, it's like,
they're gonna get guys out there like on at the gate
to look at the engine and trouble shooting
and feel like this stuff.
You just see them going, yeah, like,
hmm, they're pretty set smell. Is this not, just like I was showing it to everyone. Why two fingers? I'm going I
Just like I was showing it to
Why too big is this taste normally you?
How the engine should taste it was yeah, it was uh it was uh, I'd never had that happen before
So yeah, they're definitely gonna get on a different plane. Well, and that plane looked old as fuck like
The paint was peeling everywhere
The inside was like that super dated, like cracked up seats.
Yeah, it was. Do you ever think you'll fly yourself to Vegas?
Oh, it really could.
How many times would you refuel?
You'd probably, from here to Vegas, you'd probably have to stop twice.
That much? I guess you're in a small plane.
Yeah, in a small plane, you'd probably have to stop twice.
Maybe once, but I wouldn't want to stress.
Like, here to El Paso, El Paso to Flagstaff, Flagstaff to Vegas.
Yeah, something like that.
Look at me.
Look at you.
And you have all the markers you've got in.
I mean, you can talk the talk.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaking of smells.
Where's your uniform?
It's safely stolen the overhead compartment.
Well, you've talked them talk.
He says stowed and the overhead compartment.
Speaking of smells, I saw this very interesting video He's so stowed in the overhooked compartment.
Speaking of smells, I saw this very interesting video the other day about this woman who
her and her husband were just spending some time together one day where she noticed
he was smelling off like musky kind of, but no one else was able to smell anything different
about him.
And apparently this went on for years and years and years and he ended up developing Parkinson's disease, I believe.
And it turns out this woman had an ability to smell
Parkinson's disease.
No dogs can do that, right? So, can it?
I think so. But like she was able to essentially,
like they did a test where she would smell people's clothes and identify
who of the people's clothes she was smelling, who had Parkinson's disease.
And there was once she got wrong, but that person developed Parkinson's disease years
later.
She like pre-smelt it.
Yeah.
Do you think that?
Well, she smelled it on her husband before he was diagnosed with it like for years.
Do you think that?
Something in the sweat and like chemical.
The world is a living hell for her because her nose is so highly sensitive.
She smells everything.
She's a very she's a,
Bruce Willis and Unbreakable only for smells.
She like can go around and tell.
But like, I wanna go find this person
and have her spell me and like all my friends.
She's like give me 20 bucks.
Yeah.
Is that, is pockets and something that you can prevent?
I probably not.
I don't think so.
Yeah, I guess it's.
But you can, but I think like you, if you like, catch it early, you can start treatment earlier, which delay
the progression of the disease.
I don't really know much about it, but.
But they do that for dogs too.
Dogs can sense smell.
They have diabetes, and assistant dogs, which can tell who the dogs know when your blood
sugar is low and stuff because they have
can't be else those aren't their dogs that could smell COVID?
Yes, sure, and I think some to smell cancer as well like if you train a dog like there's no this is a really powerful
Yeah, they can find I mean just about anything. I know you're useless. You're good garbage
So cool cool another cool animal fact folks
Cool, another cool animal fact folks, raccoons, their sense of touch is as sensitive as sense as our eyesight.
That's why when raccoons get like food, they put it in water which enhances their sense
of touch and they can feel around to know what they're touching.
So that famous cotton candy video.
Yeah, exactly, because yeah, their sense of touch
is as good a sense as our eyesight.
So they have like,
I almost like co-location with their fingers.
Yeah, I'm mentioning them just doing this
and just building this massive 3D mental image
of the thing that we do.
They really are, yeah.
You could hook them up to a computer
and that could be a really cheap 3D scanner.
I was gonna raccoon the hole something
and it'll build a 3D model on your computer.
That's so, I did not know that. Yeah, I think. Another fun fact that I'm gonna raccoon a hole something and it'll build a 3D model on your computer. That's so, I did not know that.
Yeah, I did.
Another fun fact that I'm gonna store away or a future conversation.
I think I read the other day that the human sense of touch is so sensitive that it can detect,
like if you're rubbing your hand across something smooth, it can detect like pits or
dents that are smallest three nanometers in size, like human touch.
Like, is that sensitive to change
this in differences in sensation?
Like, nanomy is, though.
Yeah, let me look it up.
It's like a billionth of a, like a behavior.
But the three of them.
Yeah, I'll take you back.
Difference is down to 13 nanometers, not three.
Well, they never mind. That's crazy.
Is everyone at home watching this right now just slowly
touching the surface in front of them or like their phone,
just to see if they could do because that's what I've been
doing this entire time. It's like, oh, there's a nice
text on this table. These little bumps, these little nano
meters, what?
These nanometers.
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don, I don, I don't know, I don, I don, I don, I don hold your mail. In theory, they don't deliver your mail.
I'm guessing they delivered your mail.
Why do you want that?
So your mailbox doesn't get filled with a bunch of shit
and it doesn't look like you're not home.
Right, get rid of the mailbox.
I would love to.
Have a letterbox.
So what?
Daca through the door.
Oh, okay, mail slot.
Mail slot.
Because then you'd have to worry
unless your entire house fills up. Exactly. Yeah, or get a mailbox the size of like an R2 unit and you just like
so they delivered my mail every day I was gone. I've got one of those mailboxes that that kind
that open on the front that kind that open up they flip up on the top. Sure. The mail went also left
the box open during the rain. It rained. Repeatedly.
And every single piece of mail that they delivered
that they weren't fucking supposed to was ruined.
Did you get anything important?
I got a letter from my insurance,
which I don't know what it said,
because I can't read it.
And there was one other, oh, and I got a bill from a doctor.
I don't know how to pay it.
So this is my evidence. I mean, you could call the doctor and just say, hey, and I got a bill from a doctor. I don't know how to pay it. So this is my evidence.
I mean, you could call the doctor and just say, hey, I got this bill like you.
No, I'm gonna bitch.
Here's, here's the best part.
They'll keep mailing you the bills.
So don't worry, you'll get another one.
Don't worry, indeed.
It's like, no, you were, so when you got home,
you were treated to a nice mailbox full of paper pulp.
Yeah, that's good.
There used to be mail.
Granted, most of it was trash, 95% of it was trash.
But there were two things that I fucking needed.
And then-
Can I make a deal with the Postman, with the mailman?
And just try and get him to not mail all of that shit
into my mail.
You would love that.
There's like a lot of that junk mail
you could call a number on it to ask to stop receiving it.
Like I don't wanna do any work.
I just want to not get it.
I just want the guy to be like,
oh this is all junk.
And I just never see it.
How much does that service cost?
You probably have to pay more than the companies
are paying to send it to you.
What you have to do is you have to catch your male person
out by the curb and go,
there is a crisp $20 a minute
Where you just
Shuck this fucking shit in the garbage literally like I would pay a good 20 for that to stop happening
20 a week I maybe not a week maybe 20 a month 20 a month to get that to stop happening because it I get so
Frustrated at the waste. That's the worst part for me like whatever, whatever if I get it, I could recycle all the stuff,
but it's just, we all know how recycling
doesn't actually fucking happen, 80% of the time, right?
Like recycling companies don't actually recycle shit,
and they don't take care of it properly.
But just like the amount of waste it takes to make those things
and send them and just all the energy
that gets put into those things
that essentially just get immediately tossed.
And then some people throw them out.
And I burn all mine just to make it even more.
Does the increase your car per foot?
Yeah, to really dig your heel into that carbon footprint.
Just want to really leave.
I mean, if you're throwing into your fireplace,
you're using the energy, right?
Yeah, well then I get all the ashes
and I put it in the mail.
And then you just get, go somewhere else.
Wow.
Yeah.
So far.
We might return to send her on the ashes.
I don't really do.
You should take one of those like return, like you know how some things that mail you,
you get like a return envelope to send something back.
You just shouldn't just send it back and that'll probably make it stop, right?
Well, I'm going to do is get some like weird mail sorting robot full of turds.
Just making them the wrong for someone else someone in that male processing center gonna get that OCR on their screen
When when I was in Vegas I went to that meow wolf installation Omega Mark. Oh, yeah
It was really cool and I was way too sober for that.
Oh, yeah.
I was like, no, my condolences.
Yeah, I was like, this is all really cool,
but I haven't drank anything.
I'm not on anything.
It's like, yeah.
Yeah, mistakes were made here.
Is marijuana legal in Nevada?
It is, okay.
It's legal in a lot of places.
You wouldn't think it would be legal.
Michigan was one of them. Yeah. But I recently found out. Really? Yeah. I was at a
convention in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and I found out from someone that it was legal there.
And I was like, Michigan. You do. You're doing. You're doing. There's a couple of
play. There's one one state recently legalized edibles. But only edibles. And it was because
they didn't read the bill carefully
That's Texas kind of has something similar where they had they're obviously there's just a
Strength called Delta 8, which there's a loophole that makes it legal in Texas
Mm-hmm probably I don't know how many places, but
You could also I think sell
Edibles that have Delta 9 which I think is like more
Normal THC,
but it's because there has to be like a certain weight limit
to it, which is why they can't sell like the flower.
But edibles, if it has like a certain amount
per serving or something, it's like,
there's a loophole that makes it
people list out.
I think it's derived from hemp, if I remember right.
Yes, yes, but it's also still like some weight thing.
I don't really understand it.
Other people will understand it way better than I do, but.
Yeah, it's just like.
Just make it legal.
Here's my controversial opinion.
Either make it completely legal across the board,
across the United States, or make it illegal everywhere
and cool again.
Because that's the,
that's the thing.
That's the thing.
That's the thing.
There used to be some like,
like a little bit of a cool mystique about it now,
but now because it's like widely available
in so many places, it's like, you go to LA
and it's like going into Apple Store to get me,
it's just like, what the heck?
And it causes much.
And it's just as much.
Yeah, I'm just like, very strange experience.
But yeah, I don't know.
I know there's like some loopholes around it in Texas,
but it's just, yeah, very, I don't know what they are.
But I had the very same similar experience
when I saw a multiverse of madness, the Sam Remy one.
I saw it totally sober and I was like,
fuck, I should have not seen this.
Strick, we don't have to talk about that movie,
but man, what a mistake not seeing it altered.
Yeah.
In some way.
I didn't either.
I watched it at home.
You know, it was on stream.
I was like, hmm, I think I had the same thought.
Like, yeah, this would have been really trippy.
Well, as you guys do in Vegas,
while you're there, you're there for a couple days.
Yeah, there for a few days.
I, like, did some gambling, but mainly was for eating.
Yeah.
Going to a bunch of different restaurants. I went to them,
like I wanted to, I went to that Omega Martin, which was actually, I don't want to sound it like
it was bad or anything. It was actually really super cool. I tried not to look into it too much
before I went just to avoid spoiling it. Not that there's anything too spoiled, but I wanted to
be surprised by things. Yeah, you wanted to have the experience when you're there.
Right.
And it was super cool, super trippy.
Stop by a legal hemp shop.
A legal weed shop on the way there.
Probably for an enhanced experience.
I went to this other thing.
I was walking through like the shopping area right by the are.
It's called crystals and they had this thing called
the Van Gogh experience.
And I was like, huh, what's that?
Is it they have Van Gogh art or something
or some kind of Van Gogh museum?
I was like, all right, again, I don't know anything
I'm walking about like, okay, they're starting,
it's right here, it's going.
Some wife and I went to that.
We went in, again, not knowing what it was,
and it was like you walk into this big room
that has mirrored, it's like a huge.
The room itself is probably like the length of this stage
that we're in from like that parking lot to that parking lot.
And maybe like double the width of the broadcast area.
So it's massive.
And you go in and like there's support columns
that are like covered in mirrors and there's like yeah like a box
Yeah, it was like a box like a room in the middle that's covered in mirrors and
There's like benches all scattered around the room like and then there's there like projecting sunflowers like van
Ghost sunflowers all in the walls like what the fuck is this you take any photos?
A couple I can show you then they cut your ear off and we so whole experience we sat down and we're there for like
5 10 minutes.
And we're like, is this it?
Are we just gonna stare in this room at Sunflowers forever?
And then the music starts and then the Sunflowers start
changing, like, oh, okay.
And they start projecting various pieces of Van Gogh
art onto the walls, set to music.
And they kind of shiddly animated parts of it,
where like stuff's moving,
and they're like trying to tell a story through this art,
and I was like, this is garbage.
Oh, really?
You like it, huh?
Well, because I felt I'm not like a fine art person,
but I was always under the impression
that the point of art is for you to look at it
and for it to make you think and unlock your thoughts.
Right.
Viewing it in this setting was like someone else had programmed the music, had put together
animation, was like trying to tell a story through the art.
So it's like the thoughts are being made for, it's like your thoughts are put onto rails
as to what to think and what to feel as you're watching this thing.
And I was like, I fucking hate everything about this.
I'm sure there's some people who love it.
I'm sure there are.
On rails thinking.
Yeah, I don't have to do any more.
It was not for me.
I was like, like I said, we sit down at first.
This is like the sunflowers and everything
and they're showing different art.
And they're like halfway through them.
Like, they're gonna end on Starry Night.
Starry Night's the finale.
I know it.
Sure enough, like at the very very end like the music swells
Like at one point they're playing like a doggie for strings and I'm like fucking shoot
Man, I really appreciate it's like guys. We need really starting thinking inside the box here
We need to get we need very straight linear processing. Yeah, I can actually people in chatter disagree and we some people really like it again
Just not my thing
It was I just felt like I was being real-roaded
into like a specific way of thinking.
Like this is the presentation for you.
Instead of looking at it, appreciating it,
and thinking on your own about it.
Right, it's like, I, you know, I like movies for that.
I like movies more for that reason where it's like,
oh, this is like a narrative that I'm being drawn into
and a story's being told and everything.
With museums, fine art, stuff like paintings and stuff,
I really do like a personal affecting experience.
If like, let me see this thing, let me experience this thing.
Like, on my terms and like, draw from it and have it affect it, you know, have it affect
me in that moment in that way rather than.
I always feel like such an imposter whenever I go to any sort of like museum or like art
exhibit because I'm like taking everything in and like looking at everything and reading
descriptions and what the artist was thinking or whatever it is that have like next to the paintings. But I also feel like I'm an alien trying to act like a human
in those situations. I'm just like, yes, I will slowly walk around this. It's been this
amount of time looking at this painting. Yes, very nice. I'm going to walk over here to look at
that one and spend this amount of time. You count in your head, like you look at the painting,
like what? Yeah, like how long is acceptable to stand in front of this one so the other people wouldn't. I can't
just do what other people are doing too. But it's definitely one of the
situations where I'm just like I don't know. Maybe it's because I just don't have
like that's art sensibility that some people do when they go to exhibits like
that and they try to really think through. I feel like I don't have any
sensibility about that either. But like my goal, what I look at something like that,
is like try to see what were they trying to capture
and does it make me feel anything?
Like what does any of my experience of life
and is there a connection I can make to it?
Yeah, I guess I just don't have a soul or something.
I'm sure you're not missing.
Or you Canadian.
Yeah.
Ah, that's it.
I'm not a ginger, right?
You just have a ghost.
That's the, that one of the things that always strikes me,
usually the first thing,
with a lot of experiences with art,
especially seeing some of my favorite artists
and my favorite paintings is the size of them,
which I never, like Carvaggio's one of my favorite artists,
Old Master, and I got to see a Caravaggio exhibit in Chicago one time,
and one of this hall of these paintings.
And of course, I've only seen them on a screen,
a picture, a JPEG, so it's all like this big.
Then you walk in and it is a humongous painting
of the most beautiful thing you've ever seen,
painters of light, like just like one of the most
unbelievable, and like that was legitimately, like I cried.
Like it was moving to see those paintings in light.
And in scale, it was just like,
do you think it has a greater effect on you
because you can paint and you actually have that Billy?
That was, that was like 15 years ago.
I was about to even pick the little paint.
You didn't even know you could paint.
No, I didn't, no.
This was like years ago.
You probably always had that artistic bone in you
to some degree.
Maybe.
I think it was just like under,
like the, the, the, both the subject matter,
which is like, oh, usually the Caravaggio
is usually pretty religious,
but then like, just like the forms and figures
and like being able to like render,
it's just like appreciating for,
like, I think, you know, on the, on the, on the small scale,
just like appreciation for something that think, you know, on the small scale, just like appreciation for
something that was created from nothing.
It was like, this at one time was like a stretched canvas,
like 15 feet diameter that then became like,
this unbelievable board of stone.
There's also the alternative too,
which I've seen, like the Mona Lisa, I think,
is a lot smaller than I think it would be.
Like in person, the actual painting is like, it's not big at all. This it would be like in person the actual painting is like
It's not big at all this big, but like in my head. It's like
Mass larger than life. Yeah, yeah, and when you see it in person, you're like, oh, it's so tiny in
So, you know in chat that guy named J. Low said that they like to speedrun museums and try to see how many paintings
They can see in one day. Yeah, that's really funny. I also think I one of the things I like about museums to
That's really funny. I'll sort of think, one of the things I like about museums too,
Art Gale, the Met in New York and the Chicago Museum of Art and stuff,
is like, you'll be walking through it and you'll see,
you'll walk past, there are some paintings they like give,
like a big spot light, like the Mona Lisa, it's like,
Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, this is the painting you came here to see yeah and then and it's just all these people with their phones up
They're taking a photo. They'll know again. Yeah
But then like you'll go to like the Chicago Museum of Art and it's just like
You'll walk past
Like a masterpiece which is next to just another amazing painting, but a
well, you'll walk past water lilies, and then it's just next to just another painting
that you've never heard.
It's so strange to have this context of these pieces that are just breathtaking masterpiece
that are super, super famous.
Next is Joe Schmo.
He got it.
But we got him put Schmo over here. Yeah, he's the Janet.
He got it, but we gave him,
we got him put up painting in here.
Like, yeah, it's just like, it's just strange to be walking
and be like, okay, there's a ship on the ocean.
That's beautiful.
And there's just one of the most famous paintings of all time.
Yeah, right next to it.
Yeah, what is the thought process in,
I don't know, it's not programming, but like,
curating, curating, curating, curating,
curating, like, he stacks of like,
what a clearly foda paintings
to put in between.
Yeah, we don't have like too many famous paintings
in one space, right?
Right, you gotta make people walk around
the whole thing.
Get them when he's worth.
Speaking of paintings, did you see that in Steve Merchants
newest show, I can't remember that,
I think it's called Outcast or something similar?
I know, I do.
Christopher Walken is in it and his character accidentally either like cleans or paints over. I know, I know, yeah. Christopher Walken is in it, and his character accidentally,
either like cleans or paints over a Banksy,
like while they're outside doing work,
but it was a real Banksy.
Like really?
Really much and got Banksy to put a painting there,
like weeks before they shot there,
and then they like uncovered it and did the whole thing.
And I'm not sure if the cast knew it was real.
Yeah.
I haven't actually seen the show, I need to watch it.
But it was like, it was an actual official Banksy.
Oh my God.
That Christopher Walken painted over a real,
back to this, like a legend is like painting over
another legend's work.
I also wonder how you get in contact with someone
like Banksy who is anonymous, right?
Like no one knows who Banksy is.
I think a lot of people know who they are.
I think so.
But just like does Banksy, does he have an email address?
Is he the contact info? Like on his Instagram, right? I think a lot of people know. You think so, okay. But just like does Bank's, does he have an email address?
Does he have the contact info
like on his Instagram page?
He's like, he's like,
Bill Murray has like a home phone
that you like have to leave a message on.
And so like, you don't ever actually talk to him.
Doesn't have an agent.
He's actually sent everyone mail.
You just have to fill out one of those self,
like one of those return envelopes.
Uh-huh.
And they all go to him.
It all goes to you actually
and then gets rained on.
Yeah.
I think just to continue the art discussion, some of the coolest art, I've ever outlaws. Okay, cool.
Not outcast.
Yeah, I don't know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, I was, I was half right.
I don't know who the art is, but they do 3D, um, sculptures, but like really huge, like faces and heads and humans and like, to the point
where like a nose would be, you know, five feet long and like three feet wide or something
like that. I don't know if you know this artist, but I've seen some of their work in person
and it's like, that shit is so cool because it is insanely detailed. And it's like you're
a mini little thing on like the cheek of a real human being
you're looking at all the detail of it.
That's like a put that artist's point.
That also is just along with painting but also sculpting.
When you see really amazing sculptures where veins and arms are articulated in marble,
it's just like...
The marble work always gets me.
When you look at like a Michelangelo or something,
something crazy like,
how did, I forget what the sculpture is,
but it's like,
anytime there's like a woman with like a veil over her face,
and you're like, how did you make rock look like
cloth over a person face?
Yeah, over, over for. Right. When I went to Italy and saw a bunch of art that was like, Did you make rock look like cloth over a person's face?
Right.
When I went to Italy and saw a bunch of art
that was like marble statues and stuff like that,
I had the exact same thought.
I'm like, how do you do that?
How do you make it look like soft cloth?
And in my mind, it's like, you're like, ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch- The artist did not make hands. Yeah. His hand is originally just like cloth, just like nose.
My god.
What if he nailed the hands and eyes,
but they were just in like a slightly wrong pose?
Did you see just like really rigid as stupid?
Did you, why is the left hand on the right arm?
Right hand on the left arm.
Oh, shit.
Oh.
Did you see that YouTube video,
the guy sculpting Mel Gibson's DUI arrest.
No, no.
But the reason I bring it up is it makes me think about what
you just said, where he made like a little diorama that's
maybe like twice as high as my laptop,
like not huge but not small.
And you know, it's like that he like,
imagine what it was like the night Mil Gibson got pulled over
and arrested for DUI.
And he started out by making the Mil Gibson sculpture first. Imagine what it was like the night Mel Gibson got pulled over and arrested for DUI. Uh-huh.
And he started out by making the Mel Gibson sculpture first.
And he did like, he sculpted like a human-sized head of Mel Gibson, which looked phenomenal,
then 3D scanned it to then make it like smaller so that it was like, it fit in his tiny diorama.
Like he goes through the whole process to make this huge head to then just like 3D scan it and then shrink it down
It's a great video. It's like 20 minutes long. The guy's just narrating the whole time. I was just making this a diorama
It's it's a fucking great video. I started watching and I was like this seems like a waste of time and they're like 20 minutes later
Like that was a wonderful journey. I'm glad I watched that I watched that video. I'm eating my words
Gus I had I, I had a very, I wouldn't call this like an old man moment.
No, I would call an old man moment.
I accident, I wouldn't say accidently.
This is a lot of preamble.
Say in the station, there's a lot of preamble.
There's a lot of track to lay.
I love it.
I went down a rabbit hole.
That's not accidently because you go looking for something and it means you take something.
So it's not accidently. So this was purposeful. This was purposeful. It started out. I was looking up something was doing some research for something
Okay, and I eventually started watching on YouTube
Gold-panning videos. Oh, okay old men out in rivers with a little like
disc panning for gold and
It is the most relaxing, I'm like,
I gotta do this.
I'm definitely gonna watch that.
Is that like your ASMR?
It's not even like ASMR too,
because they're like talking and they're like telling you
like what it's like, telling you what they're doing
and how they and how like the process of like
gold panning in a river.
And it's like, not only is the video like I was compelled
by the videos, because there is, you kind of like get that second hand,
like looking for little like gold flakes
and like little like bits of like gold in there.
But just like the process of like sitting by a river,
like in waiters, just like methodically,
like being out in nature, there's something up,
but that was like, I gotta do this.
I wanna go get in a river and do this.
I think you're going to.
I think I probably will.
I think that's your next step.
I'm just gonna be like a mile at River
just dumping gold later into the forest.
That's it.
I've actually kind of looked for that before.
I think there's a place in Arkansas
where you can do that.
There's a place in Texas too.
I mean, so this wasn't an accident.
There's a place in Texas that you can do it,
but it's like nothing huge has ever been found there.
There's not like nuggets being pulled out of there.
It's like flake and little tiny little, like.
That's like probably 99% of the gold
that's ever been found.
Or that was found, like especially when panning like that.
Yeah.
I think I'd wanna do just like the metal detectors
on the beach, to ever see videos of people doing that.
Or they like go through and then like sift through the sand
and find rings and all the gadgets.
I'd probably just hire a dog that could smell gold.
There you go.
And Parkinson's. Yeah.
You can double whammy.
That like, there's just something really fast because it's like the heavy,
it's a heavier metal. So, you like, like, slosh this, you get the like dirt and like,
rocks and stuff like that and you like move it and you like wash it in the river and like,
the rocks and dirt and everything eventually flow out. And because of the golds, the heaviest,
it lands in the corner.
It's really methodical and something, again,
like painting, which is why I took painting up,
is something that very practice and meditative.
And so I was like, that seems very appealing to me.
That reminds me, there's an absolute garbage TV show I watch.
How does that remind you? You're talking reminded me of some
Fucking awful I want to say it's on discovery. It's a show called Outback Opal Hunters
Oh, okay, it's about like people who go into the Australian Outback to like Opal mines and try to find Opal
Oh, my and it's like everyone has you know, there's different ways to do it.
You know, there it's like a big excavation machine or people going with like hammers and
like shovels and digging.
But the thing that's striking to me about that and the reason it makes me think about it
is like the amount of earth you have to move in order to get the smallest payoff.
Yes.
It's like, oh, we're going to move 10 tons of dirt to find 50 carrots or like the tiniest little minuscule.
Like blink and you could miss it.
Yeah, and they probably do.
Right, it's probably happens all the time.
Like, that's one of the things that people go back.
Yeah, this mine's already been dug out.
This already been mind dry,
but we think that we can still find some,
you know, if we dig by hand and look,
because they only went through with machines here before.
Yeah, we'll do it manually and get,
and that's like, when you,
like, if you ever actually crunch the numbers
on like time, energy, to like pay off ratio,
you would probably say, you probably wouldn't do it.
Right.
Well, that's the other thing too,
is like, in some of those gold videos I was watching,
they get, I mean, like, the tiniest amount,
after like an afternoon
of like looking, they get like, you know, like fractions of an ounce.
And it's like, could you even pay their salaries for the day?
No, it's like they maybe get like $12 worth of gold.
Wow.
It's like out of a whole day of work.
So it's just like, you got to be in this for the love of the game, man.
I guess so, yeah.
There's like, you're not like, you know.
Yeah.
Woohoo.
It's not like, yeah, not like the gold rush, you're not,
you're not finding a boulder made of gold.
Right, exactly.
One of the sides of a fist, no.
I hate looking for small shit.
I recently, I got my lens repaired.
It's like a lens about this big.
And it came back like set wrong.
I had to change the dial.
Because you can change the mode of the lens
based on what sense you have.
And it's unscrew these three tiny little screws,
probably like a couple of mill high,
more than 13 nanometers high.
Three of them.
And then you slide the thing over,
and then you retighten them.
And on the last one, I had it just on the,
it was so small that you could just like have it
on the end of the screwdriver, it doesn't go anywhere. And it just went, and I blinked and it was gone, and I had it just on the it was so small that you could just like have it on the end of the screwdriver doesn't go anyway and it just went
And I blinked and it was gone and I felt it hit my leg and I was like
I was just in the middle of my studio which is a massive open room. I was just like not carpet though, right?
No, okay, it was carpet. It's gone. It was gone. It was gone. I can't find it
I was like it out. I just like take her middle detector over. I bet I bet you like it. I was like an owl. Barbara could take her middle detector over.
I bet you I bet you I could find that screw.
Do you think smash cut?
Do you wish you up on a mountain to take that?
No, I bet you could find it without one.
We should find a couple of tiny things.
I someone who's lost backs of earrings,
multiple times and little tiny pieces of jewelry,
I have my methods.
It just vanished in front of my eyes.
Yeah.
It's probably in the folds of your pants. Yeah
Smash smash cut to you Gavin in that like contraption from honey. I shrunk the kids
Where he's like
In the backyard like going across the floor
I was worried like because I cooled around on the floor for about an hour like listening to podcasts and stuff
Just like doing back and forth and I was like what if it's just stuck to my leg?
And I was like, and then I was worried it was on me.
Right.
It's gone.
I would love for you to find it.
You got it, it's like set a room button there and listen for the little.
Like, like, like, like, like when I get stuck something metal inside it.
Yeah.
Next time, next time there's time, I'll come by your studio and I'll look for it.
And that's all I'll do, all day.
I, there's something I really like about, like you said,
the very mindless, methodical, you can kind of zone out.
I did that this weekend during the Uno Infinite Stream.
Trevor was on a couple of times, but also like just being
there to watch and support and whatever,
help out or were needed.
I was helping taking the cards and shuffling them
and also reconfiguring the
decks because we wanted to make you guys like actual Uno decks that had the proper cards
in it and proper colors and everything like that. I spent I think three or four hours there.
Taking the cards you guys were done with, redivating up all the different colors, reassembling
all the decks, shuffling all the decks and everything like that and putting them, it was
so nice though.
Because it was just mindless. Yeah.
Mindless just hanging out. Me and Kaelin Cameron were doing it for a little bit and just chatting and yeah, just
taking numbers and doing all this thing and that stream is
insane. You guys absolutely crushed it. I legitimately had a dream Friday night because you all started
this stream, that Uno Infinite Stream on Friday. I had a dream Friday night that it was,
that time to do this podcast on Monday,
and this Uno stream was still going,
and that I was forced to go play Uno,
and then do the podcast on the...
I should have just taken over,
like done the podcast while playing Uno.
I think you guys could have gone,
and I thought you were gonna go into Monday.
I thought there was no way this game would end.
I, I think,
like they would have to manufacture an ending.
Right, this seems impossible to get through this.
Yeah, I'm gonna end in the,
it was like in the middle of the night for you.
For 30,
for or for 30 on Sunday morning.
I mean, to be fair,
it's gonna end,
it's probably gonna be like 4 a.m.
when no one's around, I guess.
Yeah, no one in this country.
But people were still watching.
There was a,
I think people just headed up the whole time.
I actually saw someone tweet a
Photo of their screen. They headed up for so long that they got screen burn of the little oh
Of the overlay where like it had like a yellow overlay and it was like
Subscribed to first for this to add cars to Iran got burned I think that was in there the whole time because it was up on
Screen for like 37 and a half hours. I think you guys went and we had some insanely generous
Dumps of gifted subs and stuff
And some just like really bizarre things that happened I guess that
When you do play Uno for so long and everyone's doing the same thing like certain cards aren't being held like we had one of the punishment cards was
Draw until you get a wild card. Oh my god, but the deck we were playing from was shuffled from the ones
We'd been putting down and no it had been putting down the wild
Oh, no
And then like halfway through I don't remember who was drawing it. I wasn't even on at this point
I was just watching. I was just like oh, oh, oh this is the stuff we've been putting down and we've not been playing these cards
So that someone ended up with like an obscene amount of card. Yeah. And at one point I rolled a handful of dice and I'm like a couple of D20s I rolled like 20 and 19 and I was like
I was just getting more it was like everything worked for the best in keeping that game going. Yeah it was
honestly like very nice to just have on in the background during the day like what it all
alms the whole time. Well, it wasn't on I was just at home editing and just sat it on behind me
and stuff.
I thought it would go on for, yeah, again, like you Gus,
I thought like someone would have to come in
and be like, stop this.
Like, Oh, show was gonna shut it down.
Right.
Like some, you know, Jordan comes in, stop this,
we can't do this anymore, it's running it like,
because I mean, Jordan did come in,
but he came in with fireball
No, I just mean like it was gonna be like we have to stop the madness like we've got to make other stuff This is going into like Wednesday of this week like because again like, you know it could have just kept going
I mean it could have just kept going
It is weird having to plan for something to go a really long time
But not knowing whether
it'll go like more than an hour.
Like it could have ended an hour in.
Like we had no idea how long it would go.
Yeah, community really showed up for it.
It was very to see the support.
Also, like I'm really excited now that there's like a whole bunch of people who have first
membership for the first time.
Yeah.
So like maybe people who could watch this podcast, or I guess you could always watch this live. Now, ever since quarantine started,
we broadcast this live, Jack.
Living watch post show.
But the post show, and Survival of Island season two,
which starts on Friday.
This Friday, how long does the gifted,
I think it was a month, one month?
I think it was a month.
Yeah, watch SBI.
Hell yeah.
Oh yeah, that's your gift worth right there.
That's worth the price of admission.
And the weird place that you know we talked about.
Yeah, we'll.
Yeah, we'll before that's a first exclusive show.
Yeah, if you want to watch day five,
us walk around it three a.m. every night.
This is when we had to film that.
I love that show.
That was a great show.
It was weird.
And a place.
Yeah.
What do you call it?
Mm hmm.
Yeah, shout out to the new first members.
Yeah, it's a it it was quite a feat.
The Uno stream.
Just like, what a feat, what a accomplishment.
Some of you all stayed for, I think,
was Frado's stay for like 12 hours?
Yeah, like full 12 hours back to back.
I think I did. I did like nine hours at one point.
Yeah, Jeremy had some really long ones too.
Yeah. I did a few shorter ones.
I was just going to keep coming back in smaller chunks
Yeah, at one point I I decided that every thousand subs I would throw a moomba or the ceiling
I saw that and then some of them going through one of them I threw I guess with the perfect amount of force that it went through
But lodged in that hole which caused the entire ceiling tired to come up and then crash down onto the table and then
was the entire ceiling tower to come up and then crash down onto the table.
And then,
someone smashed it on their head
and it knocked all of the way.
I think.
The Joe maybe?
Might have been on Mondo, smashed it on his head.
Oh, maybe Mondo, yeah.
And the wind from that caused all of the cars
on the wall behind to like start doing this.
They were falling at it.
It was just like,
from one ball came so much chaos.
I also, I was there when you threw a moon ball. I don't know how you did this either.
Directly through an already existing hole you had made before with a moon ball, and it
went into the ceiling and never came back out. I was like, hey.
If you hit it once before, 10s are key to the game.
But it's so like I can't, people don't I don't think realize how high the ceiling is
in that building. It's really high.
And to like whip a ball up and hit the exact thing, small little like ball hole size thing
up there.
It was very impressive.
You're nothing if not consistent.
Consistently terrible.
And of course, with the broadcast crew there.
Yeah.
The whole time.
Thank you.
I think Brian, I think you were there when the whole thing ended. Oh, yeah. That's a, yeah, that's crazy. A lot of people behind the
camera also making sure that it's a, it's going out to the internet. A lot of work goes
into it. For sure. Yeah. I watched, I watched the end of it the way it ended. And it was
like, either it was going to end like in like tears and people falling to their knees
or it really was just gonna be like,
That's it.
We did it.
That's it.
And it was that.
And it was just like, I almost can't believe it.
Yeah, and then just like, are you,
and then Joe being like, you fuck with me?
Don't, like, is this, is that, was that really it?
Oh god, he's just screaming.
Apparently that moment too.
You'll see in the clip, I think it's all over social media
of the final round.
BK had a card where you choose the color of what to go next.
And no one knew what Alfredo had.
He had one more card left.
And she happened to change it to green, which is what he had.
I can't imagine how he felt and what was going through his head.
I know. But if he had any other card,
it would have kept going back.
And who knows could have been more donations
and more cards drawn.
More cards drawn.
But yeah, you see in the video too,
of like when the green gets played,
you see his face just like,
like there's a visible change in his face
because he knows like,
like I did it. I did it.
I think currently we're trying to figure out how to put it up
to watch, because-
Like a chunk or like best up,
because I think YouTube changed the length of the maximum
length of videos to 12 hours.
Oh.
Cowards.
Yeah.
I guess you could put it up in three.
Yeah, maybe just cut some.
Or just do a best of.
But that's a lot of footage to go through.
Yeah, a maximum file size is 256 gigabytes or 12 hours,
whichever is less.
I put up a 19 hour video once.
So it definitely changed it.
Yeah, okay.
So the second, my second channel.
Yeah.
I changed it.
Oh, yeah, yeah, it's the, you falling into a pool?
No, that's certainly an hour long.
I, it was like a five second realtime clip of some pyrex exploding and I just called it the longest five seconds on YouTube
That's night stretched to 19 and a half hours
What is going to be a 20 hour video of him looking for that screw later?
Meal
With magnets alone actually very smart the, that's the way to.
I'll get one of those powerful, like, little horseshoe magnets.
I have the cartoon.
Yeah, the O'Dimmie of magnets that I was doing this with, and I got nothing.
Oh, but I don't know where it is.
Because you have that.
Me.
There's something I've had.
I've definitely lost, like, little tiny, to always screws.
But I've definitely lost, like, little tiny, like, components or screws and a little bits
or something like that.
And two, that do just like...
I think...
I'm just like it literally could be anywhere.
But then when you find them, it is like heroin.
It is just like...
Oh my God, there it is.
Oh my God.
I say like.
And just like perfect. Oh my good. I say like. And like, oh, it's like perfect.
Oh my gosh, I cannot believe it.
Just like of all the, you know, you know,
of all the tiny, of all the microns in all the world.
My fingers found these.
The line, it lined up.
Just right.
Maybe the post show should be you trying to find the script.
Yeah, I'll, I'll livestream it on my phone.
No.
Me.
What if you're looking for it, like you talk about all the possible, all the microns, all
the atoms in the universe, you find the right ones.
What if unknowingly, it's the one time where the electron cloud in your fingers passes
through the electron cloud of the screw and no contact is made.
And it just happens.
And it's like everything lines up perfectly.
And your hand goes right through the screw and you never even know
like this infinitesimally small possibility happens
and you don't know.
I assume you did this, but I'm gonna ask just in case.
You did put your head directly on the floor
and look like.
Oh, I've tried to, I put a light down
and I tried to backlight it at ground level.
I was trying to also, it's just stuff. I'm trying to see a shadow
Did was pick up all the other shit I've dropped on the
I was gonna say that floor is probably covered and like ran a little bits and stuff like that
It's not too bad
But there are just like tons of small things and obviously I can't clean them without cleaning the screw and losing it
Yep, I could also just buy a new screw like this
It's probably be the easy solution.
And that's my screw.
But knowing like specialized things
for like expensive equipment, it's like,
oh yeah, this, this tiny screw, $48.
So I mean, $48 bucks to replace that tiny screw.
Just pay me $48 bucks.
$48.
$47.
You got to give him a deal. Yeah, that's right.
She put them by the screw.
4750.
It's more sustainable.
You're not having to go.
You're not firing up an industrial factory to make a screw.
There you go.
You're not moving anything.
Repurposing this screw.
I call myself when I wake up in the morning.
Firing up the industrial factory.
I mean, to be fair, the quickest way to find that screw would be for me to buy a replacement, because that's when I'll find it,
right, is off-draft on that.
Right, exactly.
Order, click, and you see, like, move and step
and immediately feel it under your foot, like,
fuck!
Fuck!
Yeah, once you can no longer get your refund,
once it is shipped, that's exactly where.
How do they even ship a screw like that?
In a giant box. Here's how they ship ship a screw like that? In a giant box.
Here's how they ship a tiny screw like that.
In a little plastic baggy, like this big.
Like a little, like, one of the bigger plastic bags
in a massive box.
In a massive box with air bubble wrap,
like all around it.
Yep, probably.
Yeah, what is the smallest thing you can buy online?
That might be it.
Oh, this is a good, this is a good line of questioning.
Should we all order something online
and we'll try and order the smallest one
and we'll open them next week?
I like how it's like half an hour ago,
we're talking about how wasteful
all this like unnecessarily, and that's how mail is.
So we're all gonna get shipped something.
It's gonna go in a box in this big.
And we don't need it.
And I know that it is.
Well, let's do it.
No, that's fun actually.
What's the smallest thing you can buy online?
It's probably.
I'm sure I could buy someone's breath.
Does that count?
Just.
Yeah, but I have to come in a jaw.
Yeah, but the thing you're actually buying is.
Nah, the jaw is what you would gonna measure.
Has to be.
So, if you bought a screw, will we measure the bag it came in?
Excellent counterpoint, Barbara. Yeah, okay. Here's here's stipulation
I guess here's that like put some a method of transportation
We'll put some stipulations on it. I think whatever you order has to be manufactured
It has to be or at least physical it has to be physical thing that was made like it has to be a solid a solid
A solid yes, I'm sure you could buy like a little transistor or something from a circuit board that's
tiny
A little something I actually just had to buy a little a bunch of like bitch
I'm rebuilding my high-fi my mariance high-fi system and I had to order like a whole bunch of like
Because you can't because it makes no economical sense to buy a package of four screws for $8 when you
can get a big thing of multi-size screws for $12.
It's like, no, just give me the big thing with all the two.
But man, that little package has some tiny-ass screws.
I'll just leave you some in mind.
Oh, yeah.
Unbelievably small screws in there.
Smaller than sunglass screws, it's crazy.
I googled the tiniest thing you could buy.
And there was an article that came up like the smallest tiny things
You could buy on Amazon and it's all just like miniatures
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, look at this little rocking chair
Oh
Now I want to buy and put my phone on it
I think he's thinking the same thing I am it's an old joke on the podcast
12 years ago what I
Could put my dick on that and it would look massive.
But I didn't even think he was there because I still love those mini-chips.
Oh my god.
I just lit you a dick down and I was like,
How the hell would you put your dick on this, you know?
Where would you put like...
All over.
That is a huge, like huge stuffing in between the arms.
God, I think you showed that.
I was looking at you.
Just seeing if you remember that show.
What the fuck in the whole time?
I love it.
That was like...
That was like 12 years ago?
Well now everything I look in this list, I'm imagine.
You put your dick on it.
Just like a little, get a little blank, a little afghan'm imagine you put your dick on it. Just like a little little blanket little afghan said it over your
dick
I'm not in chair
I'm just like a little spectacles
I'm not in the class of tea
Is that anyone in chat who remembers what podcast?
That was from
I'm sure someone if it's not live in chat someone remembering I'm sure someone in the comments of this when it's uploaded
Yeah, someone there someone someone's somewhere there's a there's a subreddit call like tip of my rooster
Yeah, probably will find it. Oh God. That was that was forever ago. It's really funny. Oh wow
Man, I
In totally other news. I sent this to
Barbara and Andrew, both earlier.
I've been rewatching the Sims.
I've talked about this multiple times.
Like every day, I'm watching a little more, a little more.
And I'm watching it with the captions on.
And I encountered a weird thing in the captions again today, watching an episode of The
Simpsons.
It's a season 10 episode four, Barthomother.
It's the episode where Barth finds...
Oh, he shoots a bird and kills it.
And then he sees in the nest that there are some eggs.
So he takes the two eggs and hatches them
and they turn out to be reptiles.
And at one point late in the episode,
the bird, there's a bird watching group
and they're trying to kill the reptiles
and Barth's trying to get away and Marge is stalling them and uh Ender Craboppel says,
oh for crying out loud just knock her ass down and shoves Marge.
But in the captions they didn't write ass. They wrote a asterisk asterisk. So it's like
the characters say ass but in the subtitles it's censored.
That happens a lot with like the F-word where they'll, oh I guess that's when it's bleeped though.
They'll also like, yeah, bleep the subtile. They said, bleep the subtile if it was never bleeped in the show.
That's like a different experience for deaf people.
It's, I don't know why they did that.
Like they, I'd never seen any of the sub-hull in that show. Is it because they can't change the audio of the episode itself,
but they have control over the subtitling.
So it's like, well, we're gonna have a vibe
that is more offensive to read than to hear.
But also, it still has the same rating.
Right.
That is very strange.
Although I guess I, I should try watching a show
that has like, fucking shit in it
and see if those subtitles are also.
No, it'll be there.
Like, typed out?
Yeah, normally, I watch, I'm old now,
I watch all my content with subtitles.
It will always be there.
It was just so fucking weird that it happened
and I had to hit rewind.
I was like, wait a minute, am I imagining that? Did I see it so I saw it then I like I took a screenshot of it
Like just to share with everyone just be like what the fuck is this?
Yeah, why is it because?
Some places will play a show like in a public place with subtitles on like in a bar
So you wouldn't necessarily hear it so they also don't want you to read it
I don't know but if you had a bar you'd you'd be offended by the word looking up at a TV so you wouldn't necessarily hear it. So they also don't want you to read it. I don't know, but if you had a bar,
you'd be offended by the word looking up at a TV
and seeing the word ass.
I didn't agree with it.
I didn't agree with it.
Worst things are written in the bathroom.
Come on.
You're a part, yeah.
Okay, apparently the podcast where that happened
is before podcast 30.
Really was that one?
Because that's when I left for 150 podcasts and came back.
I thought we were down at Ralph Alblaneito when that happened.
Was it in the Congress office?
I think it might have been.
Fuck.
If it was 12 years ago.
Wow.
Yeah, that would have been before you and I even worked here.
Yeah, that's when I was merely a visitor.
Yeah. That's nuts. was immediately a visitor. Yeah.
That's nuts.
What podcast number is this?
Seven, 20?
No, no, 17, 18.
Okay, thank you.
Damn.
So, 700 podcasts ago is when this joke was,
we made a joke 700 episodes ago
and both instantly remembered it at the same moment.
My God.
I'm impressed.
Yeah, I watched a movie.
I get, I feel like we've been home for so long.
I've watched everything.
Like any movie, any TV show that I'm even remotely interested in.
At this point, I watched it.
I was flipping through Amazon Prime the other day,
probably trying to get away from rings of powers fast as I could.
And, uh,
Wait, what?
You don't want to watch it?
I do not like that show.
Um,
Have you watched any of it?
I've watched the first two episodes.
Okay. It's not good.
It's boring. It's just like,
I, the third episode came out, I haven't watched it yet.
The first two episodes were just boring as fuck
But I thought I found this Korean movie I'd never heard of before called zombie for sale and it's a
Zombie romantic comedy
Where comes on a rom com's on where?
comedy where a rom com's on where
Tom come if like I guess the movie starts out by like
There's one zombie and if he bites an old man
But old man doesn't instantly turn into a zombie. He like becomes useful
Like his hair instead of being great like turns dark and like it grows back in He's like very like full of energy and like energetic energy.
Energy energy. Anyway, so like all these old men like lined up to get bit by the zombie
so that they can be young again. But it turns out it's just like an incubation period.
Of course.
And then they all turn into zombies. Of course. But like the, and this was better than
a lot of the rings.
Yeah, I was like, it was actually fun. It had some, it had some problems with the story,
some plot problems.
But I guess it's like a male zombie.
And the main character, there's a female lead who's about the same age as him, who really
likes him and gives him a name.
And wants to keep him around and falls in love with him.
What?
It's really...
Is it a movie?
Yeah.
Okay.
It's really weird. then like everything breaks down
and you know, she's trying to save this one zombie
amongst all the zombie hordes.
It's not like the best, it's not like a great movie
or anything, but it was really entertaining.
I was like, oh, I've never seen a movie
with like this take on it before.
Do you purposely, when you're looking for something to watch,
like do you purposely look for something you own
nothing about, like you just read a description
or you like something catches your eye and you're like, let's take that out, you purposely look for something you don't know nothing about? Like you just read a description or are you like
something catches your eye and you're like,
let's shake that out, why not?
Well, I actually have never heard of it.
Well this one is like, yeah, I never was like,
oh, zombie for sale, what's that?
I was like, oh, it's a Korean movie.
Like, that's weird, I've never heard of it.
And then I just like to like to like
to like to write the little description
and I was like, oh, why not?
I got, yeah.
It's like, it's only like an outward 40 minutes or something.
I was like, oh, yeah, sure, why not?
I'll give that a try.
Mm-hmm.
It was good.
I, someone recently turned me on to a show
that only got one season.
And it's a real shame, because it's fucking great,
called The Grinder, starring Roblo, Ben Savage,
and The Premises. It's not Grinder with just DR, is it like the app? Ben Savage and the premises.
It's not Grindr with just DR, is it like the app?
No, no, no, no.
It's, so I had only one season of it.
Oh, I forgot about this show.
Of course, everyone did.
There's only one season of it,
but it is so, like I enjoyed it so much.
It was so enjoyable.
It's about, so Rob Lowe plays
this famous TV character lawyer called the grinder and
He quits Hollywood to go home and work for work for his brother Fred Savage's law firm, which is actual law firm
What's Fred Savage's nickname?
Fred Savage's nickname. He just said it's nice.
Do you just like, it's just like,
Rob? He's not like the mincer.
No, he's just, it's like a small town,
he's just Fred Savage is just like,
a small town lawyer.
Okay.
And his big shot older brother Rob Lowe,
who plays an actor, who already started,
who is an actor playing a lawyer,
comes home to actually try to practice law,
a delightful time. Like, feels very like...
Comedy?
Comedy, oh big time comedy.
Feels very like it would have gone perfectly
in the like Parks and Rec, 30 Rock,
like block of NBC programming.
I really enjoyed it.
I'm really sad there was only one season of it
because yeah, it's a good time at the movies.
How long ago was it? It was like 2012 or something? Oh, I've said it's I'm really sad there was only one season of it because yeah, it's a good time at the movies. How long ago was it?
That was like 2012 or something?
Oh, I've said it's been a long time.
Yeah, yeah, because it was only one season.
2015.
Oh, 2015.
Yeah, this is only one season.
It kind of came and went.
But yeah, that was something that somebody
turned me on to recently.
I was like, what the hell?
You said the name was like,
it sounds familiar.
I looked it up like, and as soon as I saw
like the promo, I was like, oh, right.
They promoted the hell out of the show.
Yeah, it was a delight.
I'm saying I'm sad that it didn't catch on.
I'm lately I'm the only big fan of 30 minute,
like sit, 30 minute TV shows,
like an experience you're gonna have like a 22 minutes
or something that's not like really protective
and drawn out.
Did you finish at Only Murders in the building season two?
Yes, I finished Only Murders.
That's another good example of a nice 30 minute episode show.
It's great.
I thought season one was stronger,
not that season two was bad. I just thought season one was stronger, not that season two was bad.
I just thought season one was stronger,
but yeah, absolutely great show.
Totally easy watch.
Very easy watch, yeah.
I love those.
Awesome.
Lava, yeah, a little like a nice little dish.
It's a nice, you know.
And another 30 minute show,
I know I've talked about it the other week.
I'm still watching reservation dogs.
Like they're in a high like a partway through season two.
I'm gonna write that down. Great show. You mentioned
that the other week and I meant to go check it out. Again it's just like it's just
a 30 minute show. It's a super easy watch and I think it's really interesting. I
feel like you don't see a lot of stories told from that perspective and about
that group of people. I think it's absolutely worth a watch. We just started
watching for the first time what we do in the shadows. Mm-hmm, so good.
So good.
Also like New York City.
It just could really hear Tyco with TV
and like all the writing.
It's great.
And yeah, he's an executive producer on
Reservation契.
So while what we do in a shadow is already in season four.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I just finished the fourth season.
It's great.
Damn. I'm great. Damn.
I'm gonna get you.
There are a couple of episodes in the season.
I would just like, it's always nice when a show gets to a fourth season.
If a show gets a fourth season nowadays, it's always nice to get to the fourth season
and have like episodes that are like, oh wow, they really like, they really did something
with this form.
You know what I mean?
Like when a show really still innovates and does something really cool, just like, there's
one episode that's a bottle episode, so it all takes place in the mansion, in the living
room, essentially.
Yeah, it makes sense.
Very simple.
Very simple, but it's such a cool concept with a game they're playing.
It's such a strongly written that you yeah, you don't really need much.
It looks like season four just wrapped up last week.
Okay, yeah.
Okay, I've been, I've been,
I've been meaning, if you keep talking about it
and a lot of people keep talking about it
and I've been, I told myself,
I'm gonna wait until the season's done.
Now I can just binge the whole thing
and not like catch up.
Get a, get a, the first episode took me a second
to like get into and it's like, once it was like two,
three episodes in, they're short though, too.
You really start grooving with it.
Yeah.
But Cobra Kai's season five just came out and I had to watch it first and then I'll get
to what we do in shadows.
I'm also, I know a couple people have asked me for updates on it, but I'm well into, I'm
almost done the third book of a Court of Thorns and Roses series.
So good.
It is so good.
I would highly recommend it to anybody into that kind of, uh, writing and novels and stuff like that.
How does Wafer it to be made into a TV show? I think it is going to be made into a TV show. Although I'm in a weird way not looking forward to that because something I really like about
books like this is being able to picture all the characters and, um, like cities and everything like that.
A certain way in your head.
And I feel like seeing someone else visualize that and like casting and everything like that is going to be so wrong.
I could already I could already tell it's going to be so off versus like how I
pictured in my head.
You didn't have that with like Game of Thrones.
You just not read the book.
I never read Game of Thrones.
Yeah.
Although I imagine that happened to a lot of people.
Look, I looked at I felt like I started reading that. Well, I did a different started reading that after the show after I'd seen the show
So it was already set. Yeah, I have not watched
Rings of power or game of phones, but I definitely have mixed up their marketing materials and scrolling social media
Two new fantasy shows that are fantasy shows like prequels to other things
Yeah, yeah, it's like wait is that blonde wig is that an elf? Nope. Nope. That's a
Like house of dragon rings of power. They spent like a billion dollars on yeah. Oh, did you not know this? No
This is like 89 million dollars on episode
Episode episode
episode. An episode.
An episode.
An episode.
That's insane amount of-
Where do they come from?
It comes from us.
Buying everything.
They're coming from looking for the smallest thing you can buy online.
They're ordering it.
Wow.
Oh, Amazon.
We should all be executive producers on that show.
No, it's all of us.
There was a quarter of us.
If rings of power isn't to hit. Amazon originals will go away.
Like, the show has to be successful
or they will kill streaming.
And I was like, that's not, man,
sure sounds like an eggs one basket situation,
probably shouldn't do something wrong.
How many of this is there gonna be?
18?
Oh, is it eight?
I think it's eight.
Not a billion.
I mean, close to it.
It's 700 it's production.
Oh production only not marketing and not marketing and etc. Production only costs you 100
million I'm sure. Yeah production only costs 750 million dollars and then like I think yeah
marketing and everything else. Oh damn. Press it over that Billy. Yeah so now we all got
together and paid for this to be made. Now the thing we use to pay for it is the thing showing us that it's been made
Every time we open the app exactly. It's very clever. Yeah, right. It's a real nice loop
Yeah, eight episodes 89 million dollars a piece. Wow. I watch it. I'll give it a go Trevor has been liking it
He's a huge Lord of the Rings fan though
So he like he knows all about the lore lore and backstory and characters and stuff like that,
where I was just like, who's it? The lore of the rings. He knows the lore of the rings.
Yeah, I'm just like, who's that? What are they? What are they evil? What?
It's an, I love high fantasy stuff though, so I'm enjoying it. I just need to, I haven't watched
the lore of the rings trilogy in how many years since it's actually come out? 1520. We returned to the King, came out in 03.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I'd haven't really seen the movie.
It's the Rucity Stod.
Yeah.
It's been a minute.
All right.
Well, let's go ahead and wrap this up.
Thanks everybody for watching.
If you're a new first member, don't forget to check out the post show.
Like it's posted when this goes live Tuesday's afternoon.
I'm Tuesday.
All right.
Thanks for watching everybody. We'll see you next time.
Bye.
I've got to go look for a screw. Do you like apples? Alright, example.
