Hello everyone, welcome to the Rooster Podcast. I'm Barbara.
Starting point is 00:01:20 I'm Gavin. I'm Kayla. What's up? It's your boy. It's me back from the dungeons of content land. It's Mary. Don't call it a comeback. Don't call it a comeback. We've been here for years.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Well, hello everyone. Welcome. Before we get into the podcast, I feel like there's something we need to address. Gus Surolla, lovely birthday boy is not here today. He's taking the week off for his birthday. So I thought we would all make a wish on behalf of Gus Surolla for his birthday. And I will blow out the candles. So Gavin, if you would like to give a wish for Gus. What do you want? Are we better say out loud?
Starting point is 00:02:07 Yeah. I hope he stops getting hassled by the wildlife in his back garden. Kayla, I hope that he remains as effervescent as always. Beautiful, Maryl. I hope all of Gus's male Pisces dreams in 2021 come true. Amen. All right, Gus. Have happy birthday, buddy. Is that Proud or a amen? Amen. How old is Gus today? Do you guys know he's 60 timeless. this guy's today. Do you guys know he's 60 timeless.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Cause a flat according to the chat, he is 23. What 23? Is he he's not 50 yet? No, he's I think he's still in his mid 40s. I legit don't know. I feel like a terrible friend. The name of this episode is the gang gets fired. It just gets to the point where you just start rounding to the nearest zero. You've been alive so long. It's really better. Yeah, it's true.
Starting point is 00:03:08 I have a favorite song. The thing that really scares me is that I met Gus when he was younger than I am now. So that means one day I will be Gus's age and that terrifies me. He's a hot 43. Hot 43. Oh, 43. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. a hot 43. I'm 43 just like this episode, just like barbass for.
Starting point is 00:03:27 He'll probably be pissed that you rounded up seven years, Barbara. He might be, he also might be pissed of the fact that I thought his middle name was ugly. What? Because I wanted, I wanted his initials to spell out Gus and I couldn't think of a U name, so I just said that his middle name was ugly. So I'm gonna be Gus guess ugly, so wrong. I'm gonna be the one with the feats I'm gonna see Gus offended.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Oh my God. That is amazing. Oh my God, all right. Well, we have some new guests on the show today. We got Kayla and Marl, you've been on the podcast before. So you're an old vet at this time. So, she's a new old guest. New old guest. I'm a fat hip barber. Happy to be here. Thanks. Thanks for being here. Thanks for
Starting point is 00:04:10 filling in for Gus. Both both of you make one Gus. Yeah. Oh yeah. If you add this up and you divide by the lowest common denominator, we do equal one Cirola. That is how the math comes out. Absolutely. To get to get one middle aged Mexican man need a black lesbian and a Mexican lesbian. Roll those two together. Yeah, because the two loves being canceled out. And then there's something I think it's like an exponent. I don't know. I'm gay.
Starting point is 00:04:38 I can't do math. So. It cancels out like it becomes straight. Yeah. Yeah. Like when you have double neck is make a positive, you know, yeah, there you go. Two gays make a head. I don't know if we want to like plug your show right away too or we want to save it for the end, but Oh, let me make sure everybody likes me first. I don't want to show the top of the bomb. Then they know I'm attached to it.
Starting point is 00:05:02 I don't want to show the other top of the bomb and then I'm attached to it. I need to do a assessment towards the end. Okay, do people like Kayla right now? Okay, go ahead. Okay, Chad, give me some chat if I'm doing good. Just 45 minutes. Yeah, can we get a poll going? Yeah, they're the ones on the screen.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Just do it like hard to guess. Can we make someone else know? How about at a certain point in the podcast, let's say like 545. Yeah. We're gonna ask for everyone's ratings and chat of how they would write Kayla based on that. We'll plug your podcast. And not in the hot air, not with us.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Please, I don't need that again. The traumas. What do you need again? The truck, we don't have to talk about it. Listen. Do you guys ever do those hot or not? Like websites when you were a teenager or a pre-teen or how whenever that thing came out? I didn't put myself on there.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Is this someone else? I mean, I still participate in hot or not. It's like on like, Bachelor always does like stuff with the bachelor contestants. I'm all oh, they're blowing up. Epson chat. so many F in law that for you. One double F off. But no, you guys saying?
Starting point is 00:06:14 Didn't do the hard. I was just I was just saying I still I still participate in hot or not all the time. Like the last game, there's a there's this. I don't know if you guys know this about me, but I'm obsessed with like in-sell culture.
Starting point is 00:06:26 I know I consider myself a scholar on in-sales and there are several sub-reddits that I follow just like keep up with all the hot gas. And one of them is called the glow up and it is literally just like girls 16 to 21 being like, should I get like plastic surgery? And I'm like, you should finish going through puberty. Like you're literally just a child. Like no one, like you're not supposed to be attractive at 16.
Starting point is 00:06:52 I'm sorry that you think your supposed look like the Casabiber Dill, but they're all 35. And that's why you don't, you and the boys at your school don't look like that. It's the most depressing thing I've ever seen. So they're just like, and they're just like, should I get Rhinoplasty? And I'm like, that's your baby nose.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Like you just, you got your face grow into it, you know? But kids like that, yeah, like teenagers are so put together nowadays. I don't know how to do it. It's so scary. It's Instagram. Yeah, I guess it's like social media and like just being able to easily compare yourself except like yeah
Starting point is 00:07:26 Not just the people you go to school with but everyone in the fucking world Hear me out. I feel like when I was in middle school if you wanted to be cool You looked at a cool kid at your school deal what they did you watched like in TV I guess I don't know why wasn't the cool or you like got a magazine that was updated once a month Tell you what was going on. And now everything changes every 15 minutes. And then also you can just use your mom's credit card that you saved on your Macbook to buy whatever you want from Forever 21.
Starting point is 00:07:54 So I feel like that's why the kids are so much more well put together now. Because I'm looking at a 13, well, I was 13, I was like, and this is my camp shirt, and I'm wearing it with my cargo capris and my converse, and this is a look. I'm serving friends. And then kids today are just like, my face is beat, my mom bought me fenty, and I'm cooler than you. And I'm just like, all right, that's weird.
Starting point is 00:08:17 I don't care for it. I wish this wasn't happening. It's true. I mean, it's true, though. Like back in our day, we had like 17 magazine talking about what was cool. And you get I remember getting 17 magazine every every month and like reading it religiously and even reading like going to the back end, reading the sex column pieces that were like how to give your boyfriend like the best blowjob
Starting point is 00:08:38 of the world, which was like not advice that I ever needed to know. But it was still something that I was like, oh, I need to go and check and see what the column is these days. And it's just like, I don't know, things are so accessible for children and for kids that they can, and I think that Gen Z is very, like my niece and my nephew and like all of my cousins kids, like they all want to be YouTubers. That's like they're like, oh, I want to be a streamer,
Starting point is 00:09:03 I want to be a YouTuber, I want to do YouTube. Like my six year old niece doesn't even know any like how to do that. But like anytime she records a video or like her mom records a video of her, she always was like, hey guys, like welcome back to my channel. And she's like, you're six. You don't have a channel.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Well, listen, life is just one extended black mirror episode. And I think we all just need to come to terms with that. Um, that's the way I think you're right, Kayla. I really think you're right. The more time goes on and the more is this pandemic goes on, I really feel like we're living in an episode of black mirror. Yeah, it's, um, uh, honestly, at this point where I'm at in 2021, if this was a movie, I'd be like,
Starting point is 00:09:45 that's a bit heavy-handed and unbelievable, the writing sucks. Like, I'd be like, oh, I haven't heard of an allegory before, you're kind of hitting it on the nose. And I'm just like, everything's just, you know? I can't, I can't imagine like having my consciousness live on for all eternity.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Gross. That, that seems like pure torture. If you could live forever, but you had the option of doing yourself in at any point. How long do you think, how long do you think you would go? 400 years and that just cool at day? I think like 250, 300 maybe. You think that's a good lifespan for a human? I feel, yeah, because I feel like at that point, you're like, all right, I get it.
Starting point is 00:10:32 I actually, it's funny you bring yourself, Gavin, I was literally having this exact conversation with Trevor this weekend where I was just like, man, I wish we could all be immortal and that we could just choose. I like to have the option to choose when to like end it because I don't think there's any more tortures than like being able to live forever but not being able to die ever. Yeah, that's torture. That's way too long. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:56 And no way. What also depends if I'm in my the only one like or can does Hannah get to live as long because if Hannah gets to live that long, you could choose five people to bring it to you. I think it should be everyone. I imagine a universe where everyone has it. But then what, like, what do you do with the babies? Because then you can just grow up and become immortal and it's just so many people.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Oh, no, then we, you know, what if there's a cat? It's like at 300 if you're not dead, you have to tie. I think also the movie midsummer. I think another stimulation that has to be you get to choose the age where you stop physically aging. Right? Like that, that definitely helps. I miss the boat. I would have chosen like 24. That was great. I think I did too. I would have chosen like 24. That was great.
Starting point is 00:11:45 I think it would be sad because I think a lot of couples would want to go out at the same time. Like if you could just choose. But then you'd have to wait for both people to be ready to discuss it. It'd be like, you like one of those people in cults just drink the death juice. It'd be really weird to go out with someone.
Starting point is 00:12:05 You're gonna, you could, like, notebook it is what it's called, right? No book it. No book it. Yeah, I've never seen that. What happens? Shit. Should I spoil it for you?
Starting point is 00:12:15 I guess it's true, like, it's a 25 years. I'm like, the movie's older than me, I think. Yeah. Not actually doing that. At the end of the movie, you haven't seen the notebook and you're listening to this right now, block a year or so, like, five seconds. Don't feel like three minutes, guys. Time the end of the movie, if you haven't seen the notebook and you're listening to this right now, block a year or so, five seconds. Don't forget to read minutes, guys. Time comes.
Starting point is 00:12:28 They, they essentially fall asleep and die together at the same time. How do they do that? Yeah. Well, because she's like rabbits, they're both sick. She's dying. I think he goes to lie down with her. And then they just both pass away at the same time. I mean, is it ever happened in real life? I actually just heard a story yesterday about a couple who were high school sweethearts and they both contracted COVID and they both passed away within 19 hours of each other.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Oh, go ahead. So I mean, it's tragic, but it's, you know, that's literally like rabbits. I mean, it's, you know, people say that you can't die of a broken heart. And I mean, that's like Carrie Fisher, right? She passed away days later, her mom dies. Yeah. Yeah, because she was literally like, okay, well, what's the point of maybe in here? I believe it. It's, you know, if your body or your soul or whatever you want to call it, is kind of just fighting to keep going. And then you lose the person you love the most.
Starting point is 00:13:29 And then you just kind of like stop fighting. You stop the will to live kind of thing. And I don't know. It's a tragic but kind of beautiful. What? Are you a can't see? I am a can't see. Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:41 I didn't take long at school. No, I didn't even have to get her drunk. No, that's for the rising and moon. I just got there sunsign. You can clock sunsign. Incidentally. That was impressive. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:14:00 I wish I didn't tell you Gavin so that you wouldn't, that you'd be able to guess this podcast. Oh, no, I don't know if that, an hour wouldn't be long enough. I'm fearful now. Don't talk about astrology. Oh, yeah. We have a hard way.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Yeah, we got the astrology cap. If you know there's a cancer, love of my life. God, I love that woman. That's it. That's all I was going to say. I was just thinking about being on this. Fine. Hey, guys, it's Barbara, not Gus.

Starting point is 00:17:05 spend the next 250 years together and then yeah no book it right right at the end. I mean, Hannah and I always say like we would not be able to live without each other. Like 100% like if something happens to her, you got 24 hours to say goodbye to me because I'm out. There's no point.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Yeah. That's you guys. Gavs, is that something you and Meg are talking about? Nah. Well, bit dog. Yeah, it's very dark. It's down.
Starting point is 00:17:38 I mean, I, there's already enough down as I think maybe maybe when, maybe when things are nicer, better in the world. Yeah, it's true. God, better in the world. Yeah, sure. Got to fill it out. Speaking of downers. Okay. Well, knocked it out of the park at that one. Is it, is it, is it a apocalypse time?
Starting point is 00:17:59 It's a apocalypse time. I think I spoke. I spoke. Apocalypse. Apocalypse. I've been calling it the apopo because I refuse to call the pandemic of the pandemic. I say the panty, so I figured I could shorten this one too and call it the apopo.
Starting point is 00:18:13 It was okay. So basically, I wasn't in Austin proper. I was like an hour south in this like tiny, tiny town called Wimberley in an Airbnb. And because sometimes you just gotta get out of town too much hustle, too much bustle. Sometimes you wanna get drunk in a place that isn't your own living room. It's someone else's living room
Starting point is 00:18:33 that you're paying $200 a night to stay in. So I was in this Airbnb and I was supposed to be there from Thursday the Sunday. So check out Sunday morning. I don't know if you know this about Sunday morning, but everything was covered in ice. I've never scraped ice off of my windshield before. I had to do it for the first time.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Don't have an ice scraper because I live in fucking Texas. Why would I have one? So what I did was the Airbnb had like one of those like, it's like to chop meat. So like another knife, but like the little like blade thingies. So I used that to like scrape the ice off my window. I had to fucking kick ice off my tires.
Starting point is 00:19:08 It was terrifying. Um, tried to pull out of the driveway and my tires just spin. Like to just spin on the ice because it's a slight incline. It's like a fucking like 10 degree incline. And my car just said, no, um, Fiona had also tried with Fiona. She had also tried to leave her car ended up in a ditch on the side of the road. She had to like hitchhike back. It was a whole thing. They couldn't make it down the hill because also her Airbnb was like in the middle of fucking nowhere. So it's like all these windy, hilly roads and we're at the bottom of a hill. So the dude was like I can't get take you down there. So she dropped off at the top of the hill and So the dude was like, I can't take you down there. So she dropped her off at the top of the hill
Starting point is 00:19:45 and she'd like walk down. Oh, we ended up being stuck in there from Sunday until I think we left Friday morning. Okay, so we didn't have enough food. We had literally just thrown away all the food because we were like, oh, we're going home. So like the racoon that I am, I had to go out into the trash can
Starting point is 00:20:04 and I was able to salvage like half a box of pancake mix. We had 15 potatoes, a bag of brussel sprouts and like half of a thing is spear of asparagus. And I was just like, all right, here we go. Oh, and like a quarter of a bottle of tequila. That's very important. Thank God. No, I was gonna throw the alcohol. Yeah, not enough, I'll tell you that. There was also a hot tub, sick. But hot tub's don't work when there's no power, which is we were going through,
Starting point is 00:20:33 they were doing like rolling blackouts. So we were at like two hours of power, six hours of no power, two hours of power. Don't know what's gonna happen. So that happened, we were running out of food. We couldn't use the heat because they were out of propane, because we were running the fireplace all weekend because it was cold and it's vacation.
Starting point is 00:20:49 And then once we realized we were stranded, the dude was like, okay, so you guys ran the fireplace a lot. So you're down to like, the tank is down the 15%. So no heat, you can't use the fireplace and the stove, you can use the stove, but you can't use the oven. So between that, the power going out and not having food, shit got a little, it got, you know, it could have been worse. I was not sobered most of the time on different substances. So like, it was like more fine than it probably could have been otherwise. And then like,
Starting point is 00:21:18 there was one day during the week where it got warm enough. No, actually, what I think what happened was snow came in like insulated the ground so it kept it from freezing over the next day and we were able to make it to an HB. So I was able to buy grocery. It was on like the fourth day that we were like stuck in this fucking Airbnb. So we were able to get like food that wasn't potatoes asparagus and brussel sprouts eventually. But then did Fiona start to look you know like cartoon where she just starts to look at ham or like Yeah, but that was because of the shrew and it's not because of the hunger And and then like there was a point like I went and got the food
Starting point is 00:21:57 But like the HB was obviously they were clear that I didn't meet so the only meat that I could buy it was like these fucking I spent $70 on four of flaming yons because that was the only meat that was could buy, it was like these fucking, I spent $70 on four of filet mignon's because that was the only meat that was left. And two lamb shanks that I couldn't even cook because you got a slow cook them because the meat's so tough, but you can't slow cook when the propane is down the 5%. So I think our second to last day,
Starting point is 00:22:20 we were down to 2% propane in the tank. And the dude was like, yo, somebody's coming tonight, they're filling, they're filling it back up like at least halfway. You guys have since turned the heat on. We didn't have hot water the entire time. I've never been so, we had to, we had this big pot that up until that point we'd been like using to make pasta and, um, or potatoes or whatever. And we were boiling water in this pot and taking it up to the shower upstairs
Starting point is 00:22:45 because it was like the warmest floor because the heat was rising and warming the tiles of the shower on the floor and just like bathing out of this boiled pot of water. It was disgusting. Kayla, are you okay? No, I'm fine. You're just saying, they went, they had trauma bonds. Yeah, we all had. We all had. So that's cool. And then like, oh yeah, we trauma bonded. Luckily for me, my dad has like, my dad's like, got fucking like, he's always ready for everything.
Starting point is 00:23:14 So I'm always ready for everything. So like, I had like a generator in my car. I had like water, I had snacks. Like that was like good. I had like, I had gotten new tires the day before I drove there because I was just like, I'm going to a different city. One of my tires is a slowly, I'll just get new tires. Thank God I did that because without those, I don't think we would have been able to make
Starting point is 00:23:35 it to HB. It like, you know, it was fine. I'm fine. Do you get pissed off with each other? No, that's the crazy part. We just got closer. So I physically closer to stay warm. Oh, yeah, there was a point where it was just like we're it's like everybody It's just like under a blanket like on the couch and it was just like we're all gonna have to sleep in one bed at one point But I didn't get to that
Starting point is 00:24:02 But yeah Okay, it's been so it could've been worse. You sent Tan and I a message and you said, I can't remember what exactly it was, but you were basically like, we're stranded. We can't get back to Austin and Fiona's car. It's not working, we can't get out of here. And so I kept on texting you and checking in with you
Starting point is 00:24:24 because I like I think you described it perfectly earlier where it's like you're watching a horror movie and like the first 15 minutes of like You know this teenage horror movie like a fucking party or like this like just amazing environment and then like something happened Yeah, and you're all fine literally because that Literally the transition. Okay, literally because that literally the transition, okay, I want to set up the good part first because you need to know how dramatic of a change was. It was Thursday, so like Fiona literally,
Starting point is 00:24:53 she had just done the Megan the Stauyan stream. Like we were fucking, oh yeah. Everybody was like, well, she came in the house and we were like, Fiona, you fucking did it. We're all one degree away from Megan the Stauyan now. Like you killed that shit. Here's my laptop. We were taking screenshots like during the stream and I have a folder that just says feel no slash Megan It's like 90 screenshots that I took during the stream We were like oh, that's so literally we're like we're doing shots
Starting point is 00:25:17 We pop the bottle of champagne to celebrate her playing with Megan the stallion the next day We were like hot tubbing and it was like this is so lit And I was like you know we so lit and I was like, you know, we made bacon and for breakfast, like we made a whole pack of bacon for breakfast just because we could, we made pancakes, eggs, like it was lit. The next day, same shit.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Where are you tasting the things in your mind? Oh, dude, there was like, you guys were eating Brussels sprouts and tequila the rest of the way. I was so angry. I was like, we didn't need to cook a whole pack of bacon that day. I feel like I threw out three slices of bacon.
Starting point is 00:25:46 And then there's like another moment where it's just like, god damn, we had to fucking, I threw out that. We could have had that. I'm just like, that's gone. We can't eat that. Dude took the trash out the second the last day. So we lost that stuff. Like it was, I was so, it was like the roll index of like, hedonism that I was going through
Starting point is 00:26:02 in my mind that I was like, you know, if we hadn't eaten that whole tray of double stuffed Oreos in one day, we could have had some double stuffed Oreos right now. Like it was the juxtaposition of the first four days to the last five days was like, I literally was like, this is the part where we get power for an hour and we turn on the news and they're like, local asylum, the goes out. And all the everybody got out and there's an ax murder on the loose and unrelated. Unrelated, the home depot has been robbed of precisely three acts as but those two things are completely unrelated. Don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:26:36 More at 10. And then the power goes out again. I was full like, there were like these big windows. And I was like, I can't look out that window because if I do, there's's gonna be a man, and I'm not gonna be able to handle any of that. And I'm just gonna, there are points like every time the power, I'm like, the one, the most PTSD I have right now is whenever the AC kicks off, I'm like, the power is out. Because that was like, the signal was like,
Starting point is 00:26:59 you hear like the home of the AC, and then it would just be dead silence, and it was just like, fuck. I want to read this text message between us. This is Monday night at 8 p.m. I said, how are y'all holding up? And you said, our power is out again. And you said, bro, what have you been eating? And you said, pussy, mostly.
Starting point is 00:27:19 And you said. But we also have five potatoes and a half pack of a asparagus left. It's dire, bro. Yeah, that sounds like meat. So I'm just so happy that you guys survived and that you're still here to tell the tell. And you know, you had a great time, obviously.
Starting point is 00:27:44 And you know, who else had a great time during obviously. And you know who else had a great time during the snowpock ellipse? Who's Ted Cruz? Ted Cruz? Cruzed on through. He Cruzed on through. He had a great time. But he came back and he delivered a case of water
Starting point is 00:27:55 into someone's truck. Wait, okay, can I? Here's the thing with him coming back. He should have been quarantining. That's the whole thing with international travel right now. If you travel internationally, you have to come back and quarantine for 14 days. So like does he?
Starting point is 00:28:08 Okay, there's nothing. There's so many. There's so many. There's that. There's the throwing his kids under the bus along with his ugly wife. I didn't say it trumped it. There's also the part where in the fucking pictures. It's like, God damn everybody's got these like fucking lines and HB all the way down the road eight blocks down the road Weirdly empty parking lot for this photo shoot to be happening and also that woman only has has nothing in the trunk of her car Except this one case of the sunny shit water the sunny is the worst water in the world of the sunny shit water That you're loading into her car for this fucking photo up It's probably just some woman that they hired
Starting point is 00:28:45 from some casting website and one of the staffers that they pulled into some empty fucking abandoned parking lot to do this photo shoot in. And if you look in the, if you look, if you look in the reflection of the windshield, you can see how empty the parking lot is. If you look through the window, you can see how empty the parking lot is.
Starting point is 00:29:01 And how does that help to put one exactly one case of you? He did worse PR than after Houston flooded and Beyonce went down to the food kitchen and was like, given out plates to people at her like old church. Like that is like what he thought he was doing. And he fully just made himself look so much worse. Like it's like when it's like when people lie online for like Cloud when they make up an obviously fake story, but like much worse because he put his own shitty photo evidence. I like I like to imagine he like dumped the case of water. And then just went, let's get out of it.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Yeah. Done. The juxtaposition of like him like doing this empty hand, this empty handed full handed gesture versus like fucking beta or work in AOC like anyway, so we like raised all this money and help all these old people and like they've raised up to warming shelter. Yeah, something crazy.
Starting point is 00:29:55 And then just like a beddo. Bro, I earlier today sitting here, my office working and I got a there was like a knock on the door. And I was like, who's that? It's bad. I'm on my door. I was like no don't don't fucking knock on my door it's a pandemic get out of here. I said answer it. So I answered it's this lovely young woman and she says hey I'm with powered by the people um and I was like that name sounds familiar. She's
Starting point is 00:30:19 like I we're just like going through the neighborhoods and making sure that like people are doing okay do you have water do do you have power? And I was like, oh yeah, absolutely. Thank you so much for checking on. She went on her merry way. And I was like, powered by the people I've heard that before, where have I heard that before? I Google it.
Starting point is 00:30:34 It's better or or works like organization or whatever. So he's has volunteers, not just helping people distributing stuff, literally going house by house by house in these neighborhoods. And being like, yo, you good homes, like you need anything, you need water, you're just checking on people. Wow. And even I for donations are anything like that.
Starting point is 00:30:52 That's crazy. I live in a neighborhood that's like a bunch of old Hispanic people, so I think that's probably why that they're like making sure that like these people who may not have had access to internet or you know, whatever are doing okay. But yeah, I think I, I don't know if we can, I know Eric's hanging out. Eric, are you here? I have Ted Cruz's
Starting point is 00:31:13 children been dealt with yet. Ted Cruz's evil daughters have not been dealt with. They will be dealt with swiftly when they are back from Cancun, but so far his evil daughters are still on the loose. I can't believe they did that. I have no further information. Who's gonna control them? Who's gonna control those greedy little girls? I can't believe that those 10, that 10 year old, that 12 year old girl would bully their adult father into going to cancun
Starting point is 00:31:39 when his constituents are freezing. When they're at, they left the dog behind. Snowfl's dog thing. So like is that true? The ultimate irony True, I think it is but ultimately like I it was a scary situation and I'm glad that you're okay Kayla. I'm glad that like it's definitely changed my perspective on like how to prep for certainly Oh fully And like become a bit of a doomsday or how is your experience? But it's definitely changed my perspective on how to prep for certain things. Oh, fully. And become a bit of a doomsdayer. How was your experience?
Starting point is 00:32:11 Mine was great. Mine was great. I got very lucky in terms of not, we only lost power for a few hours and we got it back for the rest of the time. And then we were under, you know, the boil notice or whatever. But the nice thing was that we had some friends who I think still today, they still don't have water. I think they got power back like yesterday or maybe Saturday. So they went like the longest without it. We were able to go and pick them up in our Lesbian
Starting point is 00:32:41 Subaru Mobile. Lesbian please. Lesbiananteau in Spain. Let's go. Yeah. And pick them up and bring them over here. And so they came over with their cat. And we were like camping out for a few days. And it's just like, I mean, you don't think about it. But it's definitely a traumatic situation, especially, we were very fortunate.
Starting point is 00:33:01 And I'm very happy that we were able to help a bunch of people and like we know Donate into places and actually like before the freeze. I think on Thursday night Hannah and I had gathered a bunch of old jackets that we had and Socks and you know just like stuff like warm weather stuff and went and donated it to Austin mutual aid It was kind of like after we did that like the first day when we were like out of power and we didn't think it was ever going to come back on for a while we were like, oh shit, I kind of wish we had those socks but like at least we're inside like you know and that those socks went to good people were like out there. And I mean the best thing and I think it always happens in these kinds of situations, these disaster situations, is that like, you know, like Mr. Roger said, at best, like look for the helpers
Starting point is 00:33:48 because there's always gonna be helpers and there were, I mean, there was, there was, like I have friends who own like a super small restaurant here in town and they literally just started feeding people. Like they were other businesses were sponsoring meals so anyone could come and grab a hot meal if they were able to get there. Like people were raising money,
Starting point is 00:34:05 Austin Mutual Aid was like literally going to the camps in Austin, because there's a lot of camps where on-house people live. And like knocking on tents and just being like, we have a bunch of hotel rooms, like, please come with us. Like you cannot survive this, it's too cold. And they were. And so it's frustrating that we have really incompetent people in government that do have the power to like do something and then
Starting point is 00:34:33 they fuck off to Mexico, but then it is really just incredibly heartwarming and just like really, really great to see people just go above and beyond to help, you know, complete strangers. It is pretty remarkable how disasters like this really, as you said, bring out like you you find some really amazing people through hardships like that, helpers. Yeah, specifically, but like, yeah, with tragedy comes that kind of beauty of seeing like the power of people and like what people will do for for each other in that kind of beauty of seeing the power of people and what people will do for each other in that kind of situation.
Starting point is 00:35:11 But fuck, it was. It was a freaking crazy week. Yeah. How were you in Meg the whole week? We lost power and then it stayed off for about 85 hours. Yeah Rice feet. It was fricking for I actually took a screenshot of the My thing. Yeah, that's that was when it was minus 12. That's that's Celsius
Starting point is 00:35:36 For comparison today back up to 23 just yeah It was 75 or so It's nice. Yeah think I'm fair. I jumped by like 60 something degrees in a few days. Yeah. It was freezing. And like every, every plant I own is dead. It's weird because I've been in the cold before.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Like, I think I've been in colder places, but I've never been so cold in my life in a place that I lived. I live in England. It's because it never gets out of your body. You're just constantly cold. Yeah. Inside, outside, everywhere. It's just like perpetual cold.
Starting point is 00:36:11 And I lived in England for like 21 years. And I don't think I was ever that cold. And thankfully I had gas. Thanks for that, a fireplace. Just keeping one by that. And I was very lucky in my occupation in that I have a bunch of weird stuff. Like, like, to power the Phantom camera, you can buy a professional battery, it will run the camera for like 40 minutes, but it will cost like $800 for some reason.
Starting point is 00:36:40 So I just bought, I just got these like camping batteries that I use out in the quarry. So I got like six of them. So I was actually pretty good on being able to charge our phones and I was occasionally like powering up the internet. So we could communicate with outside world, try to download a little film every night on my iPad, I quickly like turn the internet on, download a film on Netflix, turn the internet off and then we would just sit in front of my iPad. I quickly like turn into that on, download a film on Netflix, turn the internet off and then we would just sit in front of my iPad. She has an iPad, it was on the phone.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Yeah, yeah. We're trying to like, create as normal as possible, like eating soup for the fourth time and watching something on the thing. Yeah, she was worried about you. Was she? Yeah, she was, no one else just Gavin. Yeah, no, well, she was, I guess she was texting you, but she was just like every so often she would just feel like there's no way she'd be like, this is bad.
Starting point is 00:37:36 He's the richest man I know and he doesn't have power. So that means nobody's getting power.

Dude, there were apartments that were split. Yeah, that half had power and half didn't. It was fucked. At one point, I boiled some water on the stove and I chucked it in a little bit of water in the bath and a little bath at about three inches of warm water. It was gonna ask, like, how many trips did you make?
Starting point is 00:40:08 But it just won. Yeah, well, it was a big pot. It was like one of those big stewarts. So it covered all four purers. I was imagine you were like a pan of water. For the cultured. I just, well, I, so here's what was my thinking was. I wanted to put the cold water in the bath first.
Starting point is 00:40:26 I didn't want to dump boiling water in the bath because I was worried it would splash out. And then I was worried that like a cat might jump in. So I was like, I'm gonna put the cold in first. And I was like, I in it was eyeballing. I was like, that'll add up, that'll add up to one. Then I put in my boiling water, which took like 45 minutes to boil because it was so much of it.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Oh my God. Ported in, messed up the ratio completely. It was way too cold. And it didn't even get like over my hit bones when I was lying down. I'm like trying to splash around and like wash all my junk and stuff and flop over. And I was freezing. And then I had to like quickly rinse off with cold water. I had no heat or anything. And I just sat by the fire shivering for like, for like half
Starting point is 00:41:08 an hour. Just what it was, it was like a, just a different level of thinking of like, oh, the sucks to like, oh, we've got to like stay alive. Yeah. Yeah. We run out of food or like, heat, we have to go somewhere else. Yeah. Well, it's funny, because like Gavin, I tech, I was texting people throughout just to like check on them. Kale, I don't have your number, which is why I didn't text you. I promise. It's understandable for us after this. But like, just to make sure people were OK,
Starting point is 00:41:35 and I texted Gavin at one point, let me find the text message. It made me laugh out loud, but I felt so horrible at the same time. I was like, you guys doing okay? He responds with third day without power, getting used to wiping my arse by phone light. I was like, I had laughed so hard at that and I feel awful. It's why I had to go for the bath because I was there. There were unverified wipes towards the end. You can't do it. And you're hoping for the best, but there's no way I could do it. because I was there were unverified wipes towards the end. You called me. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:42:05 And you're hoping for the best, but there's no way I do a good job. That one was like, I phoned in one hand and bog roll in the other hand. How do you, I was blown away by how quickly you adjusted the situation. Like day one, I'm hitting light switches, nothing's happening. I'm like, oh yeah, the powers are,
Starting point is 00:42:22 I'm trying to do stuff. I was like, oh, idiot, the powers are. Day three completely used to it. By the time the power came on, I did like two shits in the dark when I didn't need it. The power's back. I was already used to it again. Just like, oh, I shagged the dark. That's why I do that. When you shit in the dark, just trying to flashlight like at the toilet paper to see like how much like what do you have to do? You have to, yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:49 I heard there were like tricks you could do where you put a flashlight or a phone light in like either a jug or like a a tupperware container and it helps to disperse the light over the room. Could you have done that? Okay. Yeah, if I was. I wasn't trying to make an permanent changes. I was hoping it was going to be over a little bit sooner than it was. In the main room, though, like we had some pretty serious games of like monopoly and mouse trap and scrabble and stuff. Oh, shit. Cut out then. You froze for your camera's
Starting point is 00:43:23 little choppy. Yeah, I don't know what's going on. Yeah, we're playing some like monopoly and stuff. But also, yeah, with slow-mo guys coming in handy again, I have ridiculous lights. Like, remember that light I had that was like the brightest flashlight in the world or something? Yeah, I remember. Yeah, it's designed to run at like 100,000 lumens for a few minutes, but it'll run at like 700 lumens for hours.
Starting point is 00:43:43 So we were just using that as a mobile lamp. But I didn't take that into the shit. That seemed a little bit... You blind yourself? Yeah, I'd book Cook My Eyes. Yeah. You blast out your corny end. Just blow it out completely.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Yeah, I... Another thing I was getting very angry at of being... People being... So is some woman from Star Trek, who I think we everyone at Rooster Teeth jumped on and was like, go fuck yourself because she was basically like, I don't even remember what her name was. I don't think she's acted in a while. But basically, she was like, I want to feel bad for Texas, but the mean girl in me, like, doesn't, because they're like a red state.
Starting point is 00:44:28 Which is just such an incredibly fucked up mentality to have, because first of all, no matter your political affiliation, you do not deserve to freeze to death. And there's that, that mentality's just so incredibly frustrating, but like, it's just such a privileged thought in such a like, oh, well, you know, they're not voting the way I want them to. And it's like, well's just such a privileged thought and such of like, oh, well, you know, they're not voting the way I want them to.
Starting point is 00:44:46 And it's like, well, people are trying, but they're not allowed to in most cases. So that was super frustrating. A thing that was really another heartwarming thing. And I think a few people, I think John and Dante tweeted about it. Rooster teeth handled this situation, I think, with such grace and such love and support for their employees that I was truly not surprised by because Jordan's a wonderful person were led by really, really wonderful people, but it was just very, like, kind of affirming to be like, oh, like, this is a really great company. And they really do care because like, they kept sending
Starting point is 00:45:32 out updates and be like, hey, like, no one's working today. Like, don't do any work. Just survive. That's like what you're supposed to do today. And then I think at like Tuesday or Wednesday, Jordan was just like, no work for the week. Like, it was like, it was my surprise. Yeah, it was my surprise. Updates every day too. Because like, there were so many people who were just like, I don't know what I should be doing right now. I don't even know what to do to like take care of myself. And so having those updates to be like, hey, this is, you know, what's going on today.
Starting point is 00:45:57 This is the plan for tomorrow. And yeah, I think it was like Wednesday or Thursday, maybe that Wednesday night. I think where Jordan was like, yeah, no more work for the rest of the week, just focus on you and your family and stuff like that. Yeah. And not only that, not only was it like, hey, don't worry about what we're doing here, but they also, I think it was Jeff Yetter
Starting point is 00:46:15 basically started this like Google submission sheet where you could like submit if you needed anything, like if you needed a place to stay, if you needed food, if you needed water, like transportation, you know, anything, like come in, you know, comment here, like, well, we can't promise, we'll, we can, you know, help you, but we'll try and do everything we can. And it's just like, I think mutual aid, whether it's, you know, company driven or community driven is so important. And I think like just like, we're going to save ourselves,
Starting point is 00:46:43 you know, like Ted Cruz doesn't kind of come down in the Superman shirt. He didn't protect his wife, he's not gonna protect us. And save us. Like, Ayo, see my betto, my, but I think, you know, it's just, it's, it's really incredible to see people just like come together and, and be super helpful. And then I started thinking about like, I started getting really like introspective and kind of doing some deep thinking and also just like, I used to watch the walking dead a lot. And so I was like, where do people hit the point
Starting point is 00:47:17 where they will do anything they can to help someone? Like, where does that end? Like, where does like the, like how long does the crisis have to go on before people start like turning on each other? I thought you were gonna ask, how long does this last until people literally start becoming zombies?
Starting point is 00:47:33 When you were made a reference to the walking bed, I was like, where is this going? Why are we close, I think? I think maybe another day or two. We don't know how the virus is affected by extreme cold temperatures. So. Well, I mean, they've had it in Canada this whole time too. So that's very, yeah, yeah, parents aren't zombies quite yet.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Also, we got interrupt very important business to attend to. It's past 545 now, but we got it. We got to get our vote in on Kayla guys. We got to say like Kayla. But we had a 10 out of 10. What's the vibe? What's the vibe? What? What? I just of 10. What's the vibe? What's the vibe? What?
Starting point is 00:48:06 What? I just vibe check. What's my vibe? Do we have vote to? Do we have? Please, I need it. I think we got the vote. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:15 Okay. I'm going to give you a 12 out of 10. Oh, shit. That's so many that will make up for all the negative sixes I get. Let's go. Let's keep it real. I just wanted to make sure it was balanced because I'm anticipating a lot of like really low scores. Yeah, a lot of rushes out there. I didn't realize it was out of 10. I was just going to say yes. Can I get
Starting point is 00:48:32 on a do a yes out of 10? Yeah. Oh, sick. Okay. Mary helps. I'm going to go eight out of 10. Okay. We're too improved. Like it. We're improvement, but that's because I feel like we know each other and we can be real with each other. No, you're right. You're right. I agree. God, it is getting dark. I know. Yeah, Kayla had to adjust. Blinds a bit her gain on her camera because she doesn't have the greatest blinds as we found out at the beginning of the podcast. So when it was right at five o'clock, which it's right no longer anymore. You have to adjust and now it's just like it's failing on you. Yeah, just don't look at my
Starting point is 00:49:16 cat. Don't mind me. Apollo. Apollo is one of the most beautiful cats I've ever seen. He's so handsome. Is that he's very handsome behind you as well, Maryl? Yeah, that's cashier. She's been sleeping there for the past six hours. Papa, where's your cat? Emma Pants. Hey. Ha ha. Another one.
Starting point is 00:49:37 Just so you know, Kayla, the chat has blown up. They love you. Oh, it's it would pass the by chance. I think wildly just under appreciating you. It would pass the by chance. I think wildly just under appreciating you. It's all I gotta say. Here's my handsome little boy. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:49:52 A little, a little, a little, a little, a massive cat. Is that a really big cat or is it just a fun guy? He's real long. Kilo is also real small. I'm also five, too. I know. Yeah. She's small.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Apollo, every time I see Apollo, which has been not recent, unfortunately, but I always look at him and I'm like, if I was a cat and if I was a straight cat, like Apollo is the kind of cat I would go for. He's just like, he's kind of beefy, but like kind of like a toned beefy, you know, that's also a great name for a cat too. He's hollow. Oh my god, I got him. Okay, so there was this cat I liked at APA, but I couldn't get her because I wouldn't be able to adapt to her special needs and that was going to name her Artemis. And then I found the Apollo. And I was like, I'll name it's a boy, I'll name it after the other the twin. And then I found out he's a Sagittarius. I know I'm not
Starting point is 00:50:39 supposed to talk about astrology. He's a Sagittarius. And the sign for the Sagittarius is the arrow and the Apollo is the God of archery and if you don't think a starlight is real, then explain that. You can't. You can. It just works too well. If I turn my lights on, I don't know if it's going to make it better at worst. Try it. Try it out. Turn your lights on and then come plug your show because of Holy. I think the people spoke and I love you. I know. I think we should get the poll going again now that it's been a second mention of astrology. Oh, that's right. That's so much better. Yeah, that's much better.

Starting point is 00:53:21 I'm gonna give like a full journey. I work in sales. A lot of my job was on boarding all of our podcast partners on the roost and basically it'd be like every week it's just like, all right, this is the new show. The podcast is these two white dudes and they've got 18 million subscribers. You've never heard of them
Starting point is 00:53:42 and they've been podcasting for five years. And I'm like, how does this keep happening? I would I would literally be looking at this and like, I've never heard of these people. They have such a massive following. They look exactly like the last two white guys we just signed. So I jokingly was do I started doing this bit with Fiona and Zoe or I'd talk about like my pot I'd be like, I'm gonna make a podcast. I'm gonna call it two average white guys, but the podcast is gonna be like me and like not a white man, it's gonna be funny. And like that was my bit I would always do.
Starting point is 00:54:10 And on one day I was like, maybe I should actually do that. So I kind of flushed out the idea and it became, well we were gonna call it, give it to me straight, but legal said no for a myriad of reasons. And the joke was gonna be that it was this dude for a podcast. There was like a lot of there was like other things named that. Yeah, not as or like to similar to it. Right name. I know, especially with the premise being, oh, Mark and Brad didn't show up. So now all these lesbians have to take over oops, all lesbians, that was my second idea. They also said no, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:54:46 So basically the premise of the podcast is I'm the producer for this long running podcast. It's been going on for 10 years called No Dumb Answers with Mark and Brad, because I figured that to heterosexual white men would think that if they made a podcast, that they answer questions on, they could not have any dumb answers because there were only dumb questions And it's basically like a Joe Rogan bar stool type parody but every episode Mark and Brad can't make it to the office for a various reason so at the top of the show
Starting point is 00:55:19 It's like hey guys. It's Kayla. I don't know what happened Mark and Brad couldn't make into the office today. Actually, I just got a text from them and oh my god, it looks like a bolder fell in front of their truck much like that much like in a video game as they were coming back from the mountains of Colorado.
Starting point is 00:55:40 So they're not going to be able to make it into the studio today, but instead of skipping a week and you guys having to not have an episode, I gathered some people from around the office to fill in for them. So let's hope this goes well. And that's every episode. That's the bit. That's the just. Um, Maryl is one of the co-hosts. Uh, the other one is my wife, Zoe. Um, she's on my real wife. She's like my emotional wife, my heart wife. Um we're just gonna have like guests on from RT, maybe not from RT, to play other characters
Starting point is 00:56:08 from like other podcasts, either like, it's basically the roost, but fake. So one of the groups we have is like, the brew boys. And it's like, and like they're looking gamer channel. And like every time we record, like, they fucking cause a ruckus. So like, we'll be in the middle of recording. And then you'll just hear like a crash and it's just like okay uh it looks like uh during a game of extreme tabletop
Starting point is 00:56:30 frisbee pong uh one of the brew boys has accidentally busted the wall with the booth and we're just gonna we're just gonna have them come and guess now I guess and then just have whoever that person playing that character is come and like be the guest on the episode um we're gonna have a lot of segments my favorite thing to do is uh to get drunken text marial like a segment idea playing that character is come and like be the guest on the episode. We're going to have a lot of segments. My favorite thing to do is get drunk in text, Meriel, like a segment idea. Like what did I tell you texted me like hot girl gas station, which stacks are hot girl snacks or something like what?
Starting point is 00:56:58 Okay, asking people what they're this is actually I stole this from a friend of mine, but asking people what like what's their go-to convenience store snack like on a road trip and then rating if it's a hot girl snack or not. Yeah, well, that's like, I'm gonna make you a hot girl or not? Yeah, another segment idea that I pitched to Maryl was a segment called Pleasing Daddy,
Starting point is 00:57:19 where we talk about what we're watching on HBO Max. I only refer to Warner Media as daddy. Warner Media, I only refer to, I did it to my, I was slacking Nadi in my boss this morning. I said, oh, daddy's asking. I was like, I'm so sorry. Warner Media is asking, I have to stop calling them daddy. I'm gonna say it, and I'm gonna say it in a meeting
Starting point is 00:57:42 with an HBO person that's gonna be extremely embarrassing. Um, WarnerMedia is daddy, AT&T is Papa, the difference is important. Um, important. So yeah, so we're just gonna do a bunch of like dumb segments. We're gonna have a reoccurring segment called Uninformed, where I get a very like, big or like crazy topic that I'm sure no one has heard of and I just kind of like talk them through it on our, like we did a pilot episode and I talked about in cells. And it was, it was truly like one of the most educational things I've ever been a part
Starting point is 00:58:18 of because like, here's the thing with Kayla. Kayla's hilarious. Obviously, we know this. Kayla's hilarious, obviously. We know this. It's been proven time and time again. And finally, we are having her star shine. So so far in bite. But Kayla is also about a 10 star.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Like an insane person who like cannot, like you can't just give Kayla like a thing and be like, oh, here's this thing. Like Kayla has to know every single little thing about this thing. And then she will come and she will teach you every little thing about that thing. And then she will come and she will teach you every little thing about that thing that you learned. Yeah. It's called, yeah, I have, it's called having ADHD and getting high-prexations. Sorry. And it's just like, you're just going to quit your job in sales.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Oh, God. Nadi is watching. So no. I would never listen, T. P. G. Tommy, you gotta stay close to the money. I learned that. I learned it. Gotta stay close to the money. What does that mean? Gotta stay close to the money. Just gotta stay close to the money. Gotta stay close to the money. Fair enough. Okay, understand. Completely. Wait, hold on a minute. Let me do it, as TPG. I think he's in the chat. You better watch out. You gotta stay close to the money. And the mic apparently, too.
Starting point is 00:59:33 I feel like there's a lot that you lose working from home. But I think the biggest thing missing from my life is the TPG interactions. Like, I miss it. I miss it. We were having, I miss it so much much sometimes we'd be doing a brainstorm thing and I'll put out like some an idea that isn't mediocre and sometimes he'll just look at me and go You'll do that and then I'll just be like
Starting point is 01:00:00 Yeah, right it down or like I like when you say something good you just, or like when he's got an idea and he's just like, you like got some fucking hot flago. It's because fucking flago dude. Flago. It's fucking flago dude. I don't think anyone makes analogies better than TPG. No, he's the best. Like we need, there needs to be a coffee table book with all the analogies he's made and
Starting point is 01:00:21 like references he's made. Oh, we explain who that is by the way. Yeah, Tim, Tim, G-T-P-G fucking the guzzling man himself. He's a, he's a, he's a also in sales. He hired me to Rupert to do it actually. He used to be my boss before. He became a, he's like a seller now and like I'm in the account management team now. That needs nothing to anyone watching this. Um, but he used to be my boss and like, it's fine.
Starting point is 01:00:48 So like basically, um, yeah, he hired me on, uh, like three years ago and he's just like, his job was basically like, if you've ever seen like a, a brand deal for Ristratyth and it's like a crazy thing, like, if you went to RTX and you did like the stupid moon ball activation, or like, you're like, how the hell did Camille Nangeani get on like a GTA stream with the Chief in Hunter? That was like his job. So yeah, he's super cool. He's like a Boston dude.
Starting point is 01:01:18 And then he went to like college in like California. So he's got the most interesting accent that I now have. He's also a gardener. He's also a gardener. Yeah. And a dad. He's got two sons. Another adorable and he fucked it. He's like, I've never seen anyone enjoy being a dad more than Tim. It's adorable and it makes my heart melt. I think I think Warner likes being a dad a little more. Who? Sorry, daddy. Our daddy. Oh, yeah, Warner does like me a dad anymore. You're right.
Starting point is 01:01:48 There was one time, this was back when I used to work in broadcast, so this was a few years ago. I remember TVGK off to me, and I like didn't know him that well, but that's when I decided I loved him forever. And he was just like, I never thought about doing RT podcast on the moon. Yeah, that sounds about right. What? I was thinking that happens before saying the idea to this classic.
Starting point is 01:02:13 I like to immediately because I feel like my relationship with sales was never anything special. We'd do a deal and then it would be over and we have like some sort of drunken meal at wherever we were shooting. But then TPG started and he was just like, he wanna hang out, you know, like get a beer or something. I was like, damn yeah, no one ever asked me to go out for drinks. They just, I don't know, I don't want to or something, but yeah, we just hung out. And like he was, he's probably my newest friend at Rooster City. Oh, yeah. You think he had friends quite a while ago. You got to make friends more often, yeah?
Starting point is 01:02:48 I guess the point where it's a lot of effort, you have to like sack off an old friend to make room for a new one. Right. Gavin has his top eight, OK, Barb? If he's going to add another one, he has to take someone off. Yeah, so Gavin would have been friends for like, what,
Starting point is 01:03:03 20 years at this point, you could train me out if you need to. I'd say actually Fiona's a new friend. Yeah. I don't know if you know that. It started off as like a pretend friendship. And now I text her more than anyone else probably in my entire point. Oh, she didn't text you to see how you were doing
Starting point is 01:03:24 during the blackout. We have like bursts of texting. Okay. Also, to be fair, we had no power. True, true. It was yet. It was rough. Or Wi-Fi.
Starting point is 01:03:35 It was, it's fine. It was one that we had power. No Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi, yeah. Um, I met Fiona. Um, so basically, I remember one time Lewis came in the office. Lewis just did the thing where he'd come into the sales office because I guess technically he worked with us and he just come to my desk and he put his feet up on my desk and he'd be like. All right.
Starting point is 01:03:57 I need your opinion need pulled out his phone and you just started showing me like female twitch streamers and he was like I think I'm gonna hire one of these girls to be on the chieftain hunter and I was like oh cool let me see we're going through them and I was like oh I know I know this streamer like she's super cool oh I know that cosplayer she's super cool and he showed me Fiona and I was like oh she looks like she sucks. No I was like oh she looks super cool but like I would never talk to her and he was like why and I was like I oh, she looks super cool, but like I would never talk to her. And he was like, why? And I was like, I don't know. She seems like like really pretty and like I feel like she might be mean to me.
Starting point is 01:04:32 And then I think it was the RT like anniversary party. I was like a little like tipsy off the hard seltzer in the stage five kitchen. Everything happens in the stage five kitchen. And I was trying to get a little snack, he's snacking some water to make my self a lot less tips, because I had to go back to work. And she was sitting alone in the kitchen, eating a bit, like at the tiny bag of famous Amos cookies,
Starting point is 01:04:57 and she had on the widest shoes I had seen in my entire life. And I walked up through it, and I was like, dude, your shoes are so fucking bright right now And then we fell in love and like now we're married and that's great It's a beautiful friend. Yeah, it's so I love her so much Fiona is the best. Yeah, that's the best. I don't I don't think there's a single person at research She's who doesn't love Fiona. Mm-hmm, everyone's sister slash wife, slash daughter slash everything. Oh, fully.
Starting point is 01:05:27 She's a little package. Yeah. She's just a daughter. Do you want us to like give you a moment to like talk about her for a little bit more? I don't for how much time do we, we don't have time for me to talk about. She's gonna start crying.
Starting point is 01:05:38 I will start crying one time. I was just like thinking about the, there's a point in the penny where everything was like on super lockdown, it was like super afraid as opposed to now where we're all just eating open-facing restaurants apparently that's a thing now. And I missed her so much, I would just like play episodes of GMOD while I was working so I could hear her voice. Because I missed her so much.
Starting point is 01:06:04 Like when we were still fully hanging out on Zoom like one to week, but I was just like, oh, no, no, no, we used to hang out all the time. We would keep you. I didn't realize how much I missed a little face when we went back to, not ever like squeeze her face or anything. It's just nice to see her real head in real life.
Starting point is 01:06:21 Yeah. And I didn't see it for like month and then we did it, we did extra life. And it was, I'm so excited to see people's faces again. Yeah, I can't bloody wait. It's, we're coming up on a year. That's crazy. That's crazy.
Starting point is 01:06:37 Like March is in a few days. What the, that was also like last month to me. Did you see, do you see what I posted on my Instagram where I fired up animal crossing for the first time? Oh, no. Oh, no. Since like May and my mailbox had mail at it.
Starting point is 01:06:51 And you know how you could send a little letter to yourself in the future. Yeah. It was tragic. I'd read to myself in May. Um, uh, dear, dear future, Gav, I hope you're not still stuck at home with COVID or quarantine or whatever from past Gav and I read it I was like, oh, that's sad, isn't it? When you broke down and saw it in a fetal position, do I think the most fucked up thing, like timeline wise about the panty thing that I've heard a friend say is a Zoe.
Starting point is 01:07:21 She said, it was a couple of weeks ago. She was like, I've been working from home longer than I ever worked in the office. No. Is that true? Yeah. Because we had hired her in like, yeah, no, that's crazy. She hasn't been here for two years then. I thought I for sure, for sure thought she'd been here. No, she just feels like she's been here forever because she feels like she's been the part of me. That's true. Same energy, one brain cell between the two of us, it's tragic.
Starting point is 01:07:54 That's your heart wife, right? Yeah, they're both my heart wives. Who's your work wife then? Zoe is also my work wife. Okay. Yeah. What am I? What are you? What do you want?
Starting point is 01:08:05 I know you're one of you're my very young mother. I call because I call you and Hannah. I call Hannah like Mama H all the time. That's true. I think you have that her in your phone is that we I mean, I think we did take on a like especially right before the pandemic. It we were all gathering to be gay and watch the real or not the real award. Oh, we're generation Q. Oh, we're generation Q. And it really was like we were we were our
Starting point is 01:08:30 hands in our handhouse and I was so amazing coming and being gay together and that one day we'll all have that was like again, but that was the best like 12 weeks of my life or however many like eight however many episodes that was, because it was just like, it was like every Sunday, I'd be like, go into Mariel's house, how are we carpooling? Am I gonna drive? Is it really gonna drive?
Starting point is 01:08:51 Is it feeling they're gonna drive? How are we gonna get there? Who's gonna be there? Snacks, drinks, and then it's like, show ended, and then we were, I feel like we were gonna, we were like, yo, the show airs in like March, so we can get back to it and then the panty happened. And then it was just like, yeah, the show airs and like March, so we can get back to it. And then the panty happened. And it was just like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:06 You know, yeah. I made the whole stay. I made the mistake of watching a bunch of like travel vlogs in my downtime, because it's like, that's something I miss the most in the last year of not doing. I like regret it so much. I can't stop watching them, but I'm just like, this is making me so depressed because this is it people currently traveling?
Starting point is 01:09:30 It's so it's this couple Cara and Nate I watch them the most. They have a whole vlog series of them going to a hundred different countries. And it's like really fascinating because they cover like everything the you know, airport lounges, different hotels, different like experiences in terms of, like really cheap ways to travel and also like really nice ways of traveling. So you get kind of like the whole spectrum of things, but currently the last year they've been doing a van tour. So they just bought a van and essentially I've been traveling around that way. So very interesting, but also makes me really like, I didn't realize how much I would miss being on an airplane until I watched like a hundred videos of people on airplanes.
Starting point is 01:10:10 And I'm like, Fergira, I will say it aesthetically, you could absolutely be a van life vlogger. Like it's extremely believable. Like I'm looking like at your beanie and your hair right now. And I'm just like, if you literally like just like just like like green screen like a fucking like air stream behind you I'd be like yeah, no, I'll watch this content. Oh You lofted the bed in there that's sick. Oh your bookshelves are also steps up to the loft Love it. I watch all of the tiny shows. Hey, like convincing me. You're making me want to do this because I watch this and I go, I could be a travel vlogger. This is a picture. I'm in the picture.
Starting point is 01:10:49 I'm in the picture. It's fine. Fargo's we almost did. We tried almost did. Would you bring your little hip wig laughing that you got? Would you bring that with you on your travels? Was that thing like an ankle thing? What the fuck? What the fuck? Got down was that thing?
Starting point is 01:11:02 It was trying not to talk about it this podcast because I got shit on by the comments. I was spending my own money on something that I wanted to buy. How dare you? Well, what was it? I bought something. It's, you might as, whatever.
Starting point is 01:11:17 It's called the Chi machine. Okay. Mara and Kayla, have you guys heard about this? No, I have not. I don't think I'm really going to go on. I won't get too much into it because I talked about it last week and people didn't like me heard about this? No, I have not. I don't think I'm really going to go on. I won't get too much into it because I talked about it last week and people didn't like me talking about this.
Starting point is 01:11:28 But it's a machine where you lie down and you put your ankles into it and it moves your ankles back and forth. And there's variable speeds that you could choose from. But it does a number of things. It realigns your spine. It loosens up kind of various joints and whatnot. It helps drain your lymphatic system It helps you know elevate your your feet, which is good for you to a number of different benefits
Starting point is 01:11:51 And I was talking about it last week and I got shit on because it's it's not a cheap product And I also am like I am going to see if there's any benefits for me. Why not? It sounds interesting You are a bad bitch. You make your own money. You get you deserve to spend it. How ever you want to spend it. But let me ask you do you have it now? I do have it. I do want to see it. I'm looking at it. I'm looking at it. I googled it. I'm looking at it. Okay. Do you think if this is how my brain works? I saw this and I was like, how
Starting point is 01:12:26 could I recreate this with no money? And I'm thinking, do if I were to place my ankles in a two pairs of butt cheeks, how this thing is set up, right? Set up your pairs. Yeah. So they sit wedged in between the cheeks, right? Yeah. You got like, you know, heel to anus. Yeah, and then whoever it is just gives me a little little wig wig for a little wiggle. Yeah, a little wiggle. Yeah, I don't know how long it runs maybe cash. Yeah, hashtag circles by Megan Slyne. I wonder if you could get the kind of the same. I bet you could even get some more tension squeezes. Yeah. Barbara, do you have a bad back? I do.
Starting point is 01:13:06 I do. You want to guess it? Based off the way I'm sitting like the fucking hunchback. I've been on my chair. Yeah, I've been fucking hunched over. You know that you will, OK, not you directly, but you through Trevor's, like Trevor, I was telling Trevor about how shit my back was
Starting point is 01:13:21 because when I was stuck in my parent's house, all I had was an eight dollar wooden Ikea chair to sit on at my desk for a month. And it fucked me up so bad because my back is already bad. I have a herniated disc. I have many ailments. And he was like, oh, Barbara actually just got
Starting point is 01:13:37 this like chirp wheel thing. And I was like, fuck it, I'm buying it. Which also, you can pay for it with your flexible spending account or your HSA. So technically, not out of the pocket, untaxed money. It's free real estate. Wait, is that one of you pop your back on? Oh yeah. Hold on. Yeah, it's a wheel. So essentially operates like, it's perfectly widthwise, the width between your shoulder blades of your back. So it sits between your shoulder blades and you just kind of roll back onto it. And it's such a night stretch that comes in three different sizes. I'm not selling this
Starting point is 01:14:09 problem. Does it pop your back every time? Every time. I've never felt like a deeper back pop. Like the, okay, so the small one pops at the least. And the small one is like the deepest like back popping. You can get. Yeah. And it's so good. Tensions based off the size so yeah the spot. I'm gonna need you to link me because I do.
Starting point is 01:14:28 Yeah I do. Also have a shit bad back. It was recently my birthday on a Friday last time. Thank you. Thank you. I'm a hot 29. What? Never thought I'd love to see the day here in 29 years old.
Starting point is 01:14:42 And one of the greatest gifts I've ever gotten. To marry. Oh, thank you. Liv, Liv laugh love. Liv laugh love. One of the greatest gifts I've ever gotten. Hannah was like, okay, for your birthday, so if you can't go anywhere, we can't do anything. I'm going to give you a 90 minute massage. And I've enabled that. And I was like, hold on, hold anything. I'm gonna give you a 90 minute massage and I
Starting point is 01:15:06 finagled that and I was like hold on hold on I love this I love this idea but I want to make the most out of this can I get two 45 minute massages like you know one-on-one day one on the other and she was like oh absolutely so I already got one and it was amazing so I'm gonna get my second one but it's do you guys do you guys guys, are you, are you massagers with your partners? Are you, what's, what's like the situation there? Because I, we always do a thing that we like to call 69, which is, we're rubbing. I don't need to. Our definition of it. And, or we will do timers, so we'll set it,
Starting point is 01:15:45 we'll watch a show for 20 minutes, I'll rub her back for 20 minutes, she'll rub my feet when we switch. But it's just something so beautiful about like a mutual, like, okay, I use scratch my back, I will literally scratch yours right back. We're not, we don't really like spend a lot of time massaging each other because we have hypervotes,
Starting point is 01:16:04 we'll just do that on each other. Since it's like my, I have such weak hands that my fingers get really tired after massaging for a long time. Trevor though, if I have a headache, which I often do because of my shitty terrible posture and back, he'll probably be playing at a street all day. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of factors.
Starting point is 01:16:24 It's a lot of factors. It's a lot. That's why I need my chief idolizer. But he, my two butt cheeks that I shake my feet in, he will get my traps for me. Like, he'll massage those nice and deep. And he is very good at that. And my headache will go away in like a minute of that.
Starting point is 01:16:41 I often don't need a lot, just that. So, Mary, on now that you have 45 minutes left, do you think just to make it last, you'll split it into two sessions within that? Or are you going to go for a full point? No, because I like my feet getting robbed. I used to hate foot roads because my feet were always so ticklish, but for some reason, I don't know if it's Hannah or if it's like what it is, but my feet have gotten way less ticklish. And so I broke it up into 45 so I can get 15 minutes of my back and then 15 minutes on each foot And we went we even went to target and got massage oil because don't do it with lotion you guys don't massage with lotion It pills doesn't feel great
Starting point is 01:17:21 Massage correct answer I need something to warm my freaking hands up. My hands are too cold to be like a job. Gavin. Oh, you missed from massage. It's the thing in general. I have to like, if I'm going to get involved in that, I've got to like sit on my hands for like 10 minutes and then they feel weird.
Starting point is 01:17:41 It's not ideal. They go all numb and it's like a stranger's given her a massage. I mean, you get jealous of yourself. Yeah, I'm like, what are you like in what I'm doing? I'm doing it. You have limp hands trying to give a massage. I'm just like,
Starting point is 01:17:54 slipping on oil, I'm leaving myself. What else do you get for your birthday, though, Mira? Anything else? I'm using your split massage. I got the sunshine, which I was super excited about, uh, you know, after all of that. Um, and yeah, I mean, I don't know, I wasn't like it. So my family usually always gets together because my older, or my older brother's birthday
Starting point is 01:18:20 is the day after mine. And on my birthday is my parents' anniversary. So we usually all meet up and, um, you know, have a big celebration together. So we weren't able to do that. Hopefully we can soon. But, you know, I need to, I need to make my list because I stole this idea from Josh Flanagan years ago, where every birthday, he makes a list of things that he wants to accomplish for that year and that amount of like whatever age he's turning. He makes a list of things that he wants to accomplish for that year and that amount of like whatever age he's turning, he makes a list of that.
Starting point is 01:18:49 Like 30 things for 30. Right. And so for, but for Josh Flanagan, it'd be like 50 things. Yeah. It's like, oh my gosh, I'm thinking of that. I saw I set a picture to Nadia this morning because I went to HUB super early this morning to see if I can get some groceries. And there was this man in line behind me who literally looked like Josh in like 60 years like just the most beautiful like long white hair.
Starting point is 01:19:11 And beard and I was just like oh my gosh it's Josh. So like I it's kind of because I had my like 28 list and I was like I'm going to you know, I'm gonna do all of these things like And there are certain things that I that I have on here that I was able to do But at the same time there were so many things that were like contingent on Traveling or like doing something like One of them was like eating a Michelin star restaurant I didn't get to do it 28. Have you tried caviar? I? Haven't tried caviar. Yeah, they deliver Like fancy restaurant food to you. Oh,
Starting point is 01:19:59 we scan them one time. How do you do that? No, I want you to finish first. Oh, I mean, and just like, well, there are certain things like visit a new state was one of them and we were able to take a road trip. We went all the way up to like Wyoming back in September. And so there are some things and like I didn't even finish this list. So now like going into 29, I have to make my new list and like make it, I guess, for a COVID world because who knows. One of the things on that list was getting engaged and did do that. So that was dope. Damn girl. But, but you know, so I don't know.

Please follow the socials there at askmarkandbredatweyer.com. I think that's probably wrong, but I think it is. No, it is because it was very shocked
Starting point is 01:22:30 that two men named that like had an argument. I'm already starting the podcast. I'm not. At Twitter.com. That's really working. It's like, oh no, I'm sorry. I'm doing it like Tumblr. You know, on Tumblr, you do your like your blog name

Starting point is 01:23:36 You know, I pitched a really good idea today about sponsorships. I don't think it's ever going to come to fruition. And I think that's like terribly depressing, but I could find no one. No one listens, no one listens to me. I listened and I said it was a great idea. Yeah.

When I was trying to describe to our design team what I wanted. I said, I wanted to look like one of those fancy DR brands that advertises to you on Instagram. And she said say no more. That looks exactly, that spot on. I was like, I wanted to look like a quip toothbrush landing page. But yeah, make what you know, make what you know, baby,
Starting point is 01:26:34 what you know, that's all in those DRBB. I'm going to say close to the money. Stay close to the money. Marl, do you feel guilty at all for cheating on always open? Barb, listen, I hear here's a thing. I honestly was like, I'm done. I mean, people have been saying like, oh, Mariel's back, whatever. It's not like it took a high a to say anything.
Starting point is 01:26:56 I stopped doing content, just mostly my job changed. I just needed like a change of face. I so, so, so miss doing stuff with Barbara We actually did it. I don't know if that's coming out anytime soon that video that we did yeah It's coming up probably in a couple weeks. We did a guess who yeah with all of our co-workers as the characters on the board And there was our guest along with Andy Cortez on that episode and it was really fucking fun That's a fucking super fun. And I never, here I am.
Starting point is 01:27:27 I never, you know, you should never say never because I really didn't think I would ever be doing a podcast, at least like not in like a host capacity again. Yeah. So here we go. We're gonna see how it goes. Yeah, I asked you for a solid.
Starting point is 01:27:40 And you said yes before I asked you what it was. So that's completely on you. That's true. That is true. I did.

Starting point is 01:27:55 starting March 3rd, anything else you guys want to talk about before we close out or should we call it a podcast? I would like to say that the harrowing week that I had last week was the third time I've been trapped in a snow situation that was a awful in a place that does not get snow. Those my third time. What was the first year? What do you guys remember of the snow apocalypse in Atlanta? I went a lot of people were making fun of Georgians for not being able to drive home in two inches of snow and the whole city being shut down for two weeks because of
Starting point is 01:28:28 the snow that happened and everybody like was dragging us and was like, ah, you guys are so dumb, it's just an inch of snow, the fuck is up. I feel like Texas was especially mean to us, but that's fine. That's not like you're north there. But yeah, in third time, that's happened to me twice in Georgia once here. Oh my god. Well, maybe you're bad luck. Maybe you should move away from Texas. I should just move somewhere cold apparently. And it's like, yeah, have a scary, scary preview of our future. Just like crazy weather, power energy shortage, no, we got to do something. Take girl mad Max shit. Have you watched, I'm sorry, last thing. Has anyone recently watched Mad Max
Starting point is 01:29:08 along with Tom already? Yeah, I watched it like a week ago. Okay, I did too. I watched it two weeks ago. Okay, hi, hi, hi. Here's the thing about that movie. When I feel like the first time I watched it, I was in high school and I was just like,
Starting point is 01:29:22 oh, this is so cool. And I didn't the message. I feel like 90% of the time the message just went over people's heads because I was like, I don't remember this movie having a message the first time I watched it. I just remember Tom Hardy being cool and show these thorn being cool and Zoe Kravitz being there. And this time I was like, oh, it's like a commentary. That's neat. Because the first time I was just like, ill, a Morton Joe's gross and that dude from skins
Starting point is 01:29:47 keeps spraying spray paint in his mouth and that's weird. Um, yeah. Yeah, but this time I was like, oh no. When his face and throat gets ripped out at the end. Yeah. Fun. It was gross, but cool. Still cool.
Starting point is 01:30:03 That one's not so much as a commentary. It's just a cool scene that still holds up. Hey, I haven't watched that since it came out, which was what I was in I think it's 2015. I enjoyed it a lot better the second time. I'll be honest. Yeah, I think it's hey, it's on HBO Max.
