Starting point is 00:00:00 It's time to put your pedal to the metal. From the twisted minds behind Deadpool and Zombieland, an executive producers, Will Arnett and Anthony Mackie comes the new Peacock original series, Twisted Metal, a high-oxane action comedy based on the classic video game series. Anthony Mackie stars as John Doe, a motor-mouthed outsider who must deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Starting point is 00:00:29 If he can survive the drive, also starring Stephanie Beatriz, Samoa Joe, Nev Campbell, Will Arnett, and Thomas Hayden Church, twisted metal, streaming now, only on peacock Hello everybody and welcome to the Rischartee podcast. I'm Bernie Burns. I'm Chad. I'm Aaron. I'm Chris. If that was the almost kept up, they all would be like, just got past. Should we try it again? We went the opposite direction.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Is that what it was? I think that's what it was. Yeah, get the stuff. All right, hey, everybody, welcome to RRITU T podcast. I'm Bernie. I'm Chad. I'm Aaron.
Starting point is 00:01:19 I'm Chris. I wish you guys go on the other way this time. I'm RRITU T. Sorry for the audio podcast listeners. We just had a really funny thing with their introductions, going the opposite way in time. This is so great. Sorry for the audio podcast listeners. We just had a really funny thing with their introductions, going the opposite way in the couch is they normally do. Happy labor day.
Starting point is 00:01:31 Labor day. Labor day. Everybody? Or Memorial Day, whichever one is. I have to always stop. It should be easy because Memorial is May, right? Oh, right. So that should be,
Starting point is 00:01:40 I just literally just came up with that myself Chris. Like, I don't know how to do that. I don't know how to do that. I don't know how to do that. Yes, that makes sense. Yeah, and it's didn't know that. Oh, man, yes, that makes sense. Yeah, so it's weird. So what is Labor Day celebrating? Like, what do you mean? Is this just people who work?
Starting point is 00:01:50 Well, it sounds like a day where you should work harder. I'm glad it's down. I'm glad it's down. But, you know, I admire your attitude, boy. That's great idea. It's my first and last time on the RISD thigh guy. So, thanks for having me. We are, we're gonna introduce the screwdriver tech
Starting point is 00:02:05 philosophy to RISD teeth. Everyone works twice as hard on labor day. No, please God, don't let that get out there. As with instead of having the, we have the day off, you know. So, Chris, do you find it's interesting when we have a day official day off at the company? I don't know if it really works that way though. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Like, I see it's I'm getting at. Yeah. To me, and I was talking, actually, I was talking to Josh about this last night. What did you do, Patrick? Sponsors. Oh, sponsor. He's yelling at me, sponsor.
Starting point is 00:02:30 So, our sponsors today want to thank them for sponsoring the Richie Podcast, our Pro Flowers and Squarespace. I'm glad you're mad at me. More on that soon. Thank you. You see, Patrick really misses when Gus isn't here, because Gus is a professional broadcaster. I am not. I'm a color man.
Starting point is 00:02:48 I'm here for both. I don't know if they heard me or not. I'm here on my luck. Patrick got a good, hardy laugh at that. Well, anyway, it's like, to me, a holiday at work, it's just a day whenever there's other people who aren't available for working stuff. Does that make sense?
Starting point is 00:03:03 I might still be working on a holiday, but there are other people in the office like you can't go to accounting and ask about accounting. Right. Yeah, it's like, I think you're, are you afraid to say your schedule in general is pretty fluid anyway?
Starting point is 00:03:16 Yeah, yeah, very much so. Cause it's more, I feel like my job's so much, so objective-based. Sometimes you don't know what day it is, right? You're just like, I know it's team minus two until this is done. And you don't think Thursday. Yeah, it's like, like, what days it?
Starting point is 00:03:30 Well, it's day 13. That's all I know. You're a day 13 of production and that's it. Well, we got so used to not having holidays because like conventions, it's cheaper for them to book over a holiday with a hotel. So that's why we see so many conventions during holidays.
Starting point is 00:03:43 So we will always be out at some event, and then we get back, and it's just back to work. And I was like, oh, that was a holiday that we missed again. Did you guys do that thing for years and years, which is like, we're gonna get ahead. Did we talk about that? Like this mythical goal of getting ahead on production? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:56 It doesn't happen. It's always the curse of production. We talked about it before, which is, if you have a deadline, then you just work up until the deadline. And you end up kind of in a lot of ways when you're creating stuff. You end up trying to push those deadlines sometimes you get things more done.
Starting point is 00:04:10 The idea though, you ever like finish something, and you say, okay, this is complete and done, and it's perfect. That just moment never, ever comes, ever. So you will work right up until the last minute on anything. It's the mindset of like, if I didn't work up to the last minute, then obviously I didn't make it
Starting point is 00:04:24 as good as it could have been. I left something on the table. Yeah, I left something on the table. It's like, maybe you didn't. I mean, or maybe you did, but that's getting into my head. But, I mean, you might increase it by 0.1% in quality or some intangible,
Starting point is 00:04:39 but like, you probably could have taken that day and been okay and not, you know, I don't know. We talk about that all the time, struggle with that. It's like, where do you balance that life of pushing all the way to the end and then also having a life afterwards? Like actually, going and enjoying bowling with your friends, like you should be, or I don't know,
Starting point is 00:04:59 whatever you're gonna do. Well, Aaron, I think you and Chris and Josh as well, you guys are in kind of a unique position in the company where you guys are very project based. Chad, you work on Death Petal all the time. Yeah, like 365 days a year, same project. That in Top Sense, yeah, Oliver shows. So we have a routine that we do.
Starting point is 00:05:17 So you guys take breaks, ever? We usually take some time off in January. Yeah. It's our one chance to try and get a little bit ahead for the year, but the problem is you're saying, especially so R3D Animatorian, I cannot get that guy to stop working. That's, I mean, as a manager, I'm just like,
Starting point is 00:05:34 please, go home, stop working. Anytime I get him more resources or like, hey, let's give you more time for episode. He eats, sleeps, and breathes animation. So then he's just like, well, I can use that time to make it even better. And he does. And like, I will get this crazy animation. I'm like, this is awesome. But damn it. Go home. Like, have a life. There's been a huge upheaval. I don't know if you guys saw it on Twitter. There was this big upheaval about
Starting point is 00:05:57 Crunch, specifically as it relates to video games and tech stuff, which is a huge problem in the industry is crunch. And everything goes into it. Production, any kind of production of any kind, whether it's, you know, animation, like we do here, just general production for like live action stuff. And then for video games, sometimes those crunches are like a year, 12 months. And some people worked 18 hours a day, you know, six days a week or more for months and months at a time.
Starting point is 00:06:23 And it's, it's, there's been a lot of high profile incidents in the news like EA had this, EA spouses, I think it was what it was, but it was wives or spouses, I shouldn't say which wives. Spouses of EA employees who were against crunch because it was destroying family life. Absolutely. Whereas here we just have fucking dogs barking at the back.
Starting point is 00:06:41 We're shooting this in an alleyway. We're just like, we're in a junkyard on the wrong side of town. What is it? Is that rebel barking? Probably, right? What are the chances? You're just here gunshots and dogs. I don't know, like that's been a,
Starting point is 00:06:56 oh sorry guys. No, no, that's all I had to say, special podcast. But I hate crunch. I hate it. And it's like as a manager, you know, you were just talking about that. You don't wanna ever give the impression that you want someone to do it. You know, and it's like as a manager, you know, you were just talking about that. You don't want to, you don't want to ever give the impression that you want someone to do it.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Yet myself as an artist, I absolutely did that stuff. Like for red versus blue, I worked my ass off and stay up all night and then go back to my day job and then come back. So it's kind of like, I always run into this huge dilemma of, I don't want to tell people they have to do it. So I don't wanna tell people they have to do it, so I don't wanna go that direction, but I also don't wanna go all the way to the other direction tell them if they wanna do it, that they can't do it.
Starting point is 00:07:31 You know what I mean? But do you feel a responsibility when I see people like working 12 hours in a day, it's like I say it all the time, say it to Ellie all the time, it's like stop, go home, go home, don't work on this this weekend. We did a badass vlog this weekend, Vegas where she was firing a mounted machine gun out of a helicopter.
Starting point is 00:07:47 What? What? Yeah. So, uh, she, uh, but she's training. Do you know the thing that we're doing? I know that training, but I didn't know about helicopter cannons. Yeah. It's like a Huey or something like a Vietnam copter. Yeah, she's like in the side seat, like, like, like, like, like, firing at these, uh, like, trucks and cars that they have on the side of a mountain. How do we slide up for that? Yeah, just go, you have to run my schedule for six months.
Starting point is 00:08:08 I get bored of them doing that. It's like, go do something better than that. It's the curse of Rishi. You have to turn everything into a show. You know what I mean? It's just our nature kind of a thing. I feel really bad. Ellie was playing guitar the other day in stage five.
Starting point is 00:08:23 And Chris and I were working in here and Ellie's got like a beautiful singing voice and all that stuff. Now many people know that. That's true. Yeah. But I thought she was playing this thing and I was so just lovely and Angelic. So I stuck my head outside the door and I said, shut off that goddamn music! She just stopped.
Starting point is 00:08:43 And I was like, oh man, I should go tell you. So I walked up and I walked up and I said, you know, I didn't really mean that when you, you know, because I had talked to her about it before. And she's like, I didn't know that was you. I thought someone was yelling at me. I thought that they'd finally done too much and blah, blah. And I was like, now you're fine, go back to.
Starting point is 00:09:01 I don't know where she's gonna work next or when, but she'll go into that interview and go, tell us about your previous job. She goes, I don't wanna talk about it. I was like, I just can't be not discuss it. Just single two. Just goes down. Well, I took off eight years from work
Starting point is 00:09:14 and this is the black hole in my resume at this point. It's being in which, do you guys ever have that, like, explaining your job to people when you get put into that? And I was like, oh, so what do you do? And like, I first of all, it's just like a YouTube. You know, and like, I hope people just be satisfied with that answer.
Starting point is 00:09:29 You can say that now. You couldn't say that like six years ago. Exactly right. That's like a grace that you can say YouTube and at least people understand basically what you're talking about. Right. The problem is with death battle is so nerdy
Starting point is 00:09:40 because they're like, oh really? I love you too. What do you do? And it's like, well, you ever wondered which character this fictional would win in a fight to the death? You know, like, no. And I'm like, well, really? I mean, I mean, I mean, I think that's like such a concept
Starting point is 00:09:54 that so many will get. I mean, the amount of views that death battle gets, you know? Biggest show in the Rishi network in terms of views for what comes in. You know, what's your average views per episode? Oh, I mean, usually we'll get it like 1.3 within a week. Yeah. And then it really depends on the topic.
Starting point is 00:10:10 So we've like Goku for Superman's coming up on like 40 million. Yeah, so crazy. Crazy. So people, and people like they get it. It's like that's the thing I think about death paddle is that it's got this broad appeal that people just understand
Starting point is 00:10:21 because they've all had those dumb conversations with the friends, you know? Like I always said, way back when the podcast first started, we tried to figure out what would that be the nerdiest conversation you could have. And it was an argument over whether or not a lightsaber could cut through Adamantium. That would be the nerdiest possible conversation. And then we brought that up, and of course, we got pounded like in the forums of like, of course this can't happen.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Oh yeah, the facts. That's like half your job is like, we're porceless, can't happen. The fact. Oh yeah, the fact. That's like half your job is like researching facts, right? Yup, lots and lots and lots and lots and soul crushing nerdy research. Because we decided to actually determine who would win in a fight to the death. So the other shows that have ever done this
Starting point is 00:10:56 are always like, oh, who do you think would win? We kind of think this, tell us in the comments and they leave it to a vote. And so, you know, when Ben created the show, he's like, no, I want to settle it. Science. Yeah, exactly. We're going to science the shit out Ben created the show, he's like, no, I want to settle it. Science. Yeah, exactly. We're going to science the shit out of this.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Yeah, people's like heads exploded at the end. And he beloved characters are like decimated by the end of this thing. Oh, yeah, absolutely. So one of them dies, which instantly pisses off half the audience immediately. Yeah, because like, you know, they're there to root for their favorite character. And oh, we just murdered it. They're to ruin it. Dude, I've gotten death threats.
Starting point is 00:11:23 I've read that from Goku versus Superman, it. Dude, I've gotten death threats. I believe that. From Goku versus Superman, especially, Ben and I both really bad. I had a person wish cancer upon my family, and that I should take the fastest way down off of the highest skyscraper I could find. Just all of a sudden, it's like, it's a fictional character, dude.
Starting point is 00:11:41 I'm a fan of Goku. But it is canon, right? Yeah, right. That's it, I know. They of Goku. But it is canon, right? Yeah, right? That's it. I know. We did the MetaVersus Carolina episode, right? We still get people being like,
Starting point is 00:11:52 that's not how it would go. And I was like, we literally worked with this people who created this episode. They said this is how it would go. And they even debate that. So anyway, it's fun. But it debates a big part of the show. And that was like when it first came up, I was like, all right, well, just I don't want to know how it ends. I literally didn't mind how it would go and they even debate that. So anyway, it's fun, but debate's a big part of the show. And that was like when it first came up, I was like,
Starting point is 00:12:05 all right, well, just I don't want to know how it ends. Like I literally didn't mind how it would end up. So, and the funny thing is, we've actually, some of these battles you've seen, like where characters do face off, just nobody dies, right? And so then you guys can take it and take it to the point where we, you know, we haven't really done that other than like, we did a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Battle Royale.
Starting point is 00:12:25 That'll hurt your childhood if you watch that one. That was good. But yeah, so normally we do stuff that, kind of the appeal of the show is that these characters would never meet up. And so we get to kind of, it's almost like writing fan fiction. It's this cool thing of these two universes
Starting point is 00:12:41 coming together and then they fight at the death. But yeah, we have talked about that. We're characters haven't actually ever like they may exist in the same universe but they've never truly like tried to fight to the death and me for the first time in fighting for the first time. Yeah yeah yeah. I've been writing all those hate comments. It's been a year the whole time. I'm trying to find an avenue to explain that. I wish seeing the cancer on death terrible. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What's like? Have you seen my family?
Starting point is 00:13:05 Well, really quick before we move on. If someone is seeing you for the first time, like they've only ever watched Roushiji's stuff specifically, what would be the first episode that you would recommend someone to watch of Death Battle to introduce them to the series? Oh, man, I'll tell you what, it's the most recent one and I'm super excited about it.
Starting point is 00:13:22 So we did Ballrog from Street Fighter versus TJ Combo from Killer Instinct, and it is a boxing match, excited about it. So we did ball-rog from Street Fighter versus TJ combo from Killer Instinct, and it is a boxing match, especially, it's really special. I love the amount of effort that went into this episode because we're big fighting game fans. Yeah. And so it was a passion project for everyone involved, and I feel it's like Torian's best animation
Starting point is 00:13:39 that he's ever done. Unbelievable. Okay, great. And I remember I walked into your office and was talking to you guys about that well in advance. Like, yeah, they said I was out, and I remember I walked into your office was talking to you guys about that like well in advance like Yeah, they said I was out and yeah, I was with somewhere else in the they're like all birdie game by he's talking about the fight And he's like so it was really cool. He's like you should get on that Mayweather fight Yeah, I figured out like something we could do for like deathbattle the
Starting point is 00:13:56 McGregor Mayweather fight was coming up. It was like two months out But there's still all this mammoths of height for it And then I was like we should do something that's like related that. And they just let me know they were doing a boxing one. I was like, that's perfect. Did you watch the fight? I didn't, I didn't, power was that because of Hurricane Harvey, which we should talk about in a minute too.
Starting point is 00:14:14 But yeah, I was, that was my first time, I went without power for 28 hours, which is, look, in the spectrum of things that I've had to people during the storm, that's like nowhere on the scale, but I didn't have access to anything. And then I ended up leaving and going to Vegas while my power was still out.
Starting point is 00:14:30 That made me really nervous, because it's like, hope everything's good. Yeah, or it's like you're there and all of a sudden your power comes back on. It's like, it's not that you usually leave the house of like did I leave the curling iron on or stuff. You don't know, like it just kicks back on.
Starting point is 00:14:43 It's like, oh yeah, I actually left a curling iron plug in. She's like a weapons grade. It looks like, it looks like the world's like most dangerous dildo. It's a curling iron? It's, I mean, it would be. It would be. It would be.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Yeah, it would be. If they marketed that way, they're just one marketing meaning away from having the world's most dangerous dildo. But it's this like But it's this black rod that comes with a, like a Kevlar thermal glove. And then she curls her hair with this thing. But there's no, like, I don't know much about beauty products. All the curling iron's, I know they have the little clip
Starting point is 00:15:17 bitty thing, like there should be a lot of them. And it doesn't have that. It's just the rod part. And then she wraps it, I guess. I saw a video on YouTube where I go burned her hair off using it. Oh my God. And actually, it's like,
Starting point is 00:15:29 what do you really burned yourself? Like on her neck and her shoulder? Like a couple of different times with this thing. I don't like this thing in the house. I wanted out. But I was worried about that thing. I was convinced that was like, power comes back on her Vegas
Starting point is 00:15:41 and it like slowly burns the house. Like from the second floor, like burns its way down to the foundation. So it's going to be curling iron go through Adam and you. Oh my god. It'll be the new death battle Bernie's house versus curling it. That's it. Look at that. That's it. That looks innocuous doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:15:56 That is a vibrator. I didn't think of the man probably. She just convinced you real well. This probably actually looks like a little vacuum cleaner like has different attachments and stuff. See if you've got the velvet cloth. cleaner. Like it has different attachments. And stuff like you feel a little. You forgot the velvet glove. It even has all the different attachments here. It goes all the way down from Bernie up to Max.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Okay. I don't know. Have you heard this about Max? Max has enormous balls. Have you heard this? No, I believe that. That's just like a thing. Everybody laughs over here.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Is this true? I've heard this. I mean, I don't know for. I've talked to Max enough to get the sense that he has. He seems like he just swinging around. I mean, who knows what his penis looks like. What's going on? He's just like, is it like the balls themselves?
Starting point is 00:16:36 What's going on here? Can we go Max? Over, tell him to wear something revealing. What? I imagine Max is the kind of balls that like, they fold up over his penis, you know, like when he wears- Why would you go-
Starting point is 00:16:48 Why would you go- Like a drop of something I think about it night, before I go to sleep. But like there's so much balls that wear else you get it like they just kind of- Are you talking about the balls themselves or the sack? Like the- What didn't that indicate both? I don't know, I mean I don't know if it was funny for the tiny second really big ball It's like skin type ball
Starting point is 00:17:09 See I was picturing the opposite he's like a flying squirrel It's like when you vacuum seal something in the art department We can just have him draw us a photo just a little picture. He can draw. Oh, he'll send a picture perfect He'll set Max will send a picture of his I'm gonna I'm gonna text someone say Max is it okay? We talk about we talk about your balls. Well, it's a little picture of his. I'm gonna text him. I'll say max is it okay? If we talk about, we talk about your balls. Well, it's a little late for that. What's that? We can go back to the hairdildo.
Starting point is 00:17:30 We can either edit this or fire him before it air. So that way it's okay. Is it okay to tell him about your balls? Max talks about my butt all the time. It's fire. Then they pee us. I hear they're ginormous. Yeah, he's always like,
Starting point is 00:17:44 oh, I almost made a typo. That would have been embarrassing. Is it okay? Yeah. I'll let you know what he says later. I'm curious. I'm gonna get back or what picture he sends. I'll turn on my, I'll turn on my phone.
Starting point is 00:17:55 See here. Yeah. I don't even know how we get on this conversation. Hurricanes. Oh, it's what it was. It's the track scene Houston, I think, is what got us one of this. Ah, yes, the classic pathway.
Starting point is 00:18:06 The classic way. The talking about your coworker, the genitals. We were talking about the fight or something about watching the fight. And then the electricity and then the curling iron. The fight though, were you saying that there's the first fight? You'd say, or what were you saying? You weren't there.
Starting point is 00:18:20 I, no, power's out. I was, I actually thought about going, I looked it up at one point, the floor seats were $37,000. Yeah. For a seat at a fight. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, You bought with the guy. And he had these massive multi million dollar purse fights and Tyson would just beat the shit out of the guy in 90 seconds. Yeah. The last pay-per-view fight I saw was Tyson Holyfield. And that burned me, oh, I'm not like I paid for, I guess parents are something, but like.
Starting point is 00:18:54 I made him. It was, made him with the biting in the ear and all that stuff. And everyone's like, I'm not paying for pay-per-view anymore. It's like, because it was a big hyped up thing and then he's biting ears and everything.
Starting point is 00:19:03 So I don't know, that was the last fight I saw. And then when I illegally watched was like, because it was a big hyped up thing and then he's biting ears and everything. So I don't know, that was the last fight I saw. And then when I illegally watched this one, I, no, I mean, it was all, it was all right. I thought it was a good fight. I mean, for someone who doesn't watch fights or have anything to do with fights or know what a fight is, or get his ass kicked in a fight.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Yeah. I was entertained by it. Yeah. No, boxing fans loved it. I think it lived up to the hype and everyone felt that way. I read this like breakdown on Reddit because a bunch of people were like, oh yeah, like he did a good job like he hung in there
Starting point is 00:19:32 and then everyone was like, no, he didn't. Like this is exactly what made it their job. It was predictable like the strategy boxer versus non-boxer is the hell would go down. Yeah. That basically made where they're actually looked like he was in trouble for about five rounds. And then just came back and just beat the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:19:48 He looked at his feet though the entire time, Mayweather's feet versus, you know, McGregor's feet, McGregor's right? Yeah, like Mayweather's feet were always planted. A good feet that Mayweather. And then, I feel like you're a person. I'm just interested. And then McGregor's feet were just like,
Starting point is 00:20:05 you know, he's doing whatever he was doing. And I mean, you just knew that it was gonna, and how it did. I think they just stretched it out because for the entertainment value, I'm not absolutely like. You know, I've never done any kind of training in that regard either boxing or any kind of martial arts
Starting point is 00:20:19 before, but it does seem to me that all those years of training is basically just to build muscle memory so that you don't even actually have to make too many decisions that you just kind of like go, your body just reacts. Especially if you're facing someone with equal or greater training. And it must be hard for someone like McGregor, even all the boxing training he's done,
Starting point is 00:20:41 it must be hard to fall out of like the grappling. Yeah. Do you know that Tyson quote that everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face? Yeah. That is exactly what you're talking about. Yes. Because when you get punched in the face,
Starting point is 00:20:52 your body goes like, we've got to stop doing whatever we're doing right now. Because we're getting punched in the face. And then your training as a boxer is to go like, nope, keep the hands up, keep going, keep going until this red fades away and then I can see again. Move the, move the, move the hands up, keep going, keep going until this red fades away and then I can see again. Move the face out of the way as much as possible.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Until the cloud clears and then I'm back on, it's that pure muscle memory that you're talking about. When you get hit in the face and your brain is not thinking about protection anymore, it's just thinking about going away, you have to just, your arms know to go up and just to keep doing that thing. Even if you guys have been knocked out before? you just, you know, your arms know to go up and just to keep doing that thing. Even if you guys have been knocked out before? Ah, once, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:28 So I used to do Kung Fu. Or did you have you been knocked out? Yeah, I did. Yeah, you didn't know I did Kung Fu? Don't, I always do my Kung Fu moves around the office. Do you really? No, I don't. I don't pay to see that.
Starting point is 00:21:41 I probably just kick over lamps and stuff now. I used to do Kung Fu. Ah, the way I guys max is, is perfectly fine with us discussing his balls. Wonderful. Actually, his response was, haha, haha, haha, haha, haha, haha. Yes, sure. Ask him to send a face. Winky face.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Draw us a picture. How'd you get knocked out? Well, we used to have, when I was in high school, we used to have these garage fights. I think you might be fired for these texts, right? I can't tell if you're lying or not. Well, we used to have garage fights in high school because even fight her for these texts, right? I can't tell if you're lying or not. Well, you used to have garage fights in high school because that was like, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:09 there was street racing and then there was the garage fights. And then so the garage fights in high school, we'd get together in the afternoons after school. And, you know, some people were in karate, some people were in boxing, some people were in kung fu, some people just wanted to, you know, go crazy. Very different friends than me. Yeah, that's a, I mean,
Starting point is 00:22:24 I don't think any of my friends were in karate or boxing. Chris, I had a go crazy. Very different friends than me. Yeah, that's a, I mean, I don't think any of my friends were in karate or boxing. Chris, I had a hard life. It was a hard life. It's free racing. Free racing for money and boxing. Anyway, so this, a friend of mine came who was a boxer and like I wasn't a boxer, I was a Kung Fu guy.
Starting point is 00:22:37 And that was a Kung Fu guy. And we were, you know, we're sparring, right? And when you're sparring, you're supposed to, you know, it's like taps and you're fully padded and all this stuff. Well, of course, I was like, you know, I felt confident with this guy, you know, and I felt comfortable with my abilities. See, Brian, just give the shake. I'm waiting for this text from Max to come back. And so I felt confident. So I was like, Hey, man, give it to me. Give me a punch. And he's like, be sure so I was like, hey man, give it to me. Give me a punch.
Starting point is 00:23:06 And he's like, you sure? I'm like, yeah, man, sure. So we'd dance around a little more. I opened my arms just a little bit. He sees the opening, pops my face. I don't remember that. I remember going like, hey man, give me full force, blah, blah. And then off the floor going like, what happened?
Starting point is 00:23:23 And he goes, you told me to, I'm sorry, man. I didn't mean I was like, I went from that to this. What happened in between? And I just, I couldn't tell you. I was just black. It was what happened. I got knocked out trying to break up a fight. Really?
Starting point is 00:23:40 Yeah, I was stupid. And, but I didn't get knocked out. I always say I've never passed out. I don't remember it. Like you, but I didn't get knocked out. I always say I've never passed out. I don't remember it like you, but I never like lost my footing. Like I was a way, like wandering, but like just could not lose it. Just face, yeah, I was just phased.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Like you're talking about, like I can hit like this from behind, that or so I'm told. That's an RTA, right? Yeah. And then they even like everyone in the room kind of stopped and everything. And I was just like,
Starting point is 00:24:04 and then I was like in the nurse's office. Oh man, that's like a rabbit punch. Yeah, or so. And I've been on the room kind of stopped and everything and I was just like and then I was I was like in the nurses office Oh, man, that's like a rabbit punch. Yeah, and I've been in the other side of that to you in college I punched a guy and it was one punch fight and it was like it's just amazing like if you land a good shot It's just like oh this is over. You know what I mean? And that's it. It's the job. Why'd you put it? He had he had there was I had a stupid college life There was a big fight in my front yard. And it was like 10 of my friends and 10 dudes from down the road.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Garage fight? For eternity thing. I'm the first demon, say it all out. And they were fighting. And I was on the third floor. And I saw my friend who is, even in college, he was losing his vision, couldn't see very well. And it's like, you know, shf, motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:24:42 And I come running on thing, run across the lawn. I remember I was run right at the guy, and the last, he said, I was clearly, I was gonna punch him. Is he said to me, he said, the weirdest thing he goes, he goes, I'm sober. And I punch him. And then that was it. And it wasn't, but then it turns out it was
Starting point is 00:24:56 even the guy I thought it was that he hadn't had a lock. It was like a totally different person. Oh, same stranger. No, it was a different friend, but just wanted to like his much. That I wouldn't have risked, you know, bodily harm to go after this guy for. So, yeah. I'm a stranger. No, it was a different friend, but just wanted to like as much. That I wouldn't have risk, you know, bodily harm to go after this guy for. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:08 I'm so burned. Wow. Yeah. That's like a safe word. What do you yell at? I mean, sometimes you can confuse your attacker if you just throw out some nonsense. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:16 What if you were just like, well, hold on. And then, you know, let's go drink. Yeah. But, yeah, it's one of those things where it's like, it's, it's always stuck to me. I have a group of friends where like, there's one guy who likes to start fights.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Yep, and then you're all fucking on board. Yep, yeah. Oh man. Or the worst situation of that is, and I think guys deal with it more so with, if the guys have girlfriends in a group, there's always one girlfriend that just like, doesn't mind like, just starting a fight in a bar
Starting point is 00:25:41 with a random person and it's like, then you're all dragged into it, you know? Oh yeah, it starts embarrassing because should make it a scene or something, or you know, and anybody can do this. This is not to be a girlfriend, could be a boyfriend. There's always that person, you know, that just like, oh, they start making the scene
Starting point is 00:25:53 and first you're like, okay, you know, this is a little uncomfortable. Fuck you asshole. And then, oh yeah. And then it starts escalating. And then you see it gets this point where you're just like, oh fuck, now I'm involved. Like, I have to stop.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Like, this dude's gonna hit this person and we need to stop in the Yeah, it's not a problem for me because I have a friend who knows Kung Fu Dude I've liked it a couple times I got a deep use the situation with Max. No, don't send me any photos It's excited about that sort of thing. He just wants to share his balls, I guess, with the world. It's his way I misspelled dope. It's his dude. Don't.
Starting point is 00:26:31 All right, I'm out of this conversation with Max. To be continued, the little table to discussion on Max. Till later. So yeah, no, I blocked out twice from skating, just like taking a hit to the head. But then most recent time time where it was like the closest you can get was actually on stream for that, we did that stack up charity stream, right?
Starting point is 00:26:50 Yeah. And so we were trying to like, oh, let's really do it. We're kinda new to Rooster Teeth. Let's really get the initiative and raise some money. So I was like, all right, at whatever donation, somebody can slap me. And so my mistake is that we're like, all right,
Starting point is 00:27:02 we get there, we're like, oh, Nick should do it. Now, Nick is like the kindest human being in the entire world. But Nick has like the reverse mightest touch. Like anything this man touches, breaks, or goes wrong. I've had that in my life, it's sometimes. Like it's an aura where you break electronic stuff
Starting point is 00:27:17 specifically. Yeah, yeah. But everything happens. Some people have it. I felt like I had it for a year of my life. I once watched him look at a picture and it fell off the wall and broke. Oh. So, anyway, they're like, well, for a year of my life. I once watched him look at a picture and it fell off the wall and broke. Oh.
Starting point is 00:27:25 So anyway, they're like, well, we'll have Nick do it. And so I'm not thinking. And so I'm sitting in this chair, I'm like, okay, here we go. And he's like getting lined up. And he's like, do you want me to really hit you? And I'm like, yeah, I mean, it's for charity. Like, give me a good slap, right?
Starting point is 00:27:38 Mm. Mm. So what actually happens is it, he's like, show on me. Yeah, show on me. So he's like measuring it up, right? And then he goes way back and what actually happens is he comes in and cries in the fucking jaw on accident.
Starting point is 00:27:54 And so my world got flipped upside down. I was sitting in this chair and it was flash of white. And then I'm suddenly on the floor on my hands and knees, and I watched everything just go, boop, and I was just like, nope, nope, nope, like on the screen, raining in, and I, like everything balanced back out, and for like the next two weeks, I was in this like weird like fuzzy days,
Starting point is 00:28:17 like I know I had a concussion. Right, see now I've had that, like I've hit my head more times than I care to remember, I probably don't remember most of them, but I do think the reason why I have never passed out or been knocked out is just out of sheer force of will. And I think that is something to that of like,
Starting point is 00:28:32 you know, you're like, this is horrible. I'm just gonna go with this and pass out, you know? But I fight that feeling of like losing consciousness. Not letting yourself be taken by the darkness. It's green for me. It's just green, whatever. I don't know, it's like a, do you ever get the fuzz that just takes over your vision
Starting point is 00:28:48 if you got in hit? I get that when I get like super, super mad. And I don't get super mad that often anymore, but Chris, I mean, you've seen me before where there's been situation, but I used to get more mad when I was CEO, like just like a lot of like shit like in one basket. And put your vision wet green when it. Red, red. Like actually. with CEO, like just like a lot of like shit like in one basket.
Starting point is 00:29:05 And put your vision when it red. Red, red. Like actually red. See like in like when the people see you talk about seeing stars, it's like I see like black dots kind of a thing. Yeah, it's really scary when you're mad. Yeah, I don't think like a been mad in a really long time, you know? I can feel Chris is like, where are you getting so scared? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:25 I don't know, I always hear those about like horror stories about executives like throwing shit and doing that. I know. I have many stories about. Really? Well, Chris had most worked for the same guy in advertising when we were like 22. This guy was an absolute madman.
Starting point is 00:29:43 And he like, you know, he may or may not have had a drug problem at one point that made him very excitable. And the guy would do things like, what? I mean, I'm in a rough and you start. Well, so he had this big office space. Like, I mean, it was a multimillion dollar company. Many clients, but his office space was the size of this studio and all that was there was one desk and a ping pong table and whenever he got pissed off, he'd throw the ping pong table. And like and comment and he had things that he knew he would, I think he bought other side of the room and he's like, did you call that client about that thing? And I go, I'm about to, you know, it's about to happen. He's like, well here, maybe you should send an email.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Let me help you with that. He grabs my laptop, throws it from across the room and it shatters against the wall behind me. And I was like, I'll get on that right now, I guess. And Chris thought at the time that I was lying about this stuff that he was like, I was like, what do you happen to his laptop? Well, that laptop shattered.
Starting point is 00:30:53 But when it Chris, the cap of your laptop, I was like, oh, well, you didn't know about that. I mean, you've seen, do you think it was practicing Kung Fu? Yeah. Well, this guy was also the kind of guy who, in my interview, and Chris had this too, when I showed up for the interview,
Starting point is 00:31:06 he had told me to show up at this Mexican food restaurant at 2 p.m. sharp. So I show up there, it's closed. And I'm like, what the fuck? And then the manager comes out and goes, are you Aaron? And I go, yeah, and he goes, I'll just say, Bob is in the back. And I go, okay, this guy's sitting
Starting point is 00:31:23 at this 10 person table, at this booth, but he's in the back of it. So there's between you and me, Bernie, like that's how much space is between us. I literally just did a vlog making fun of stuff like this. I swear it's real, and I have confirmation from others. He goes, Aaron, I've been reading about you. I know everything about you. And I go, how do you know everything about me?
Starting point is 00:31:44 You had an owl. You give me this, you should. I give him. He goes. I go, how do you know everything about me? You gave me this as a gift. I give them. He goes, he goes, you want to see. He opens up this tomb of this huge book. He slides it over across the table with me. And I look at it and it's an astrology book. And it's turned to my birthday because he had asked me my birthday before.
Starting point is 00:32:02 And he goes, I know everything. Good reading, right there. He goes, read that passage right there. So I start reading it and he goes out loud. And I go, a curious or sometimes known for their predicates, like, no, no, no, get to the weaknesses. And I go, you know, defiant something, something. And he goes, ooh, that's not good for our business,
Starting point is 00:32:26 that's not good at all. He and he'd already read him, so he knew, like he was making sure I knew and he goes, turn to July 28th and I go, okay. He's the light 20th, he's the light 20th. Why did you do that? He's the light 20th. And the weakness, he goes,
Starting point is 00:32:38 why would I hire someone with these weaknesses? Yeah, he goes, why would I hire someone with these weaknesses? I was like, and before I could even answer, he said turn to July 28th, so I turned to it and he goes, read it and I was like, why would I have someone with these weaknesses? I was like, and before I could even answer, he said, it turned July 28th, so I turned to it, and he goes, read it, and I was like, okay, out loud, okay, and he goes, no, no, skip to the weaknesses, so I give to the weaknesses, and it says,
Starting point is 00:32:54 Panicked, disturbed volatile. And I read it, and I was like, oh man, Panicked, disturbed volatile. That guy sounds like a real fucking nut, right? And he just starts, there's no one in the restaurant, and he goes, oh man, panic disturbed volatile. That guy sounds like a real fucking nut, right? And he just starts, there's no one in the restaurant and he's laughing. Oh my God. And I go, yeah man, that's pretty crazy.
Starting point is 00:33:12 He's like, what do you wanna make your first year, your second year, and your third year? And I said, and I hadn't thought about this. I said this and this and this and he goes, that's more than I paid anyone before. What are you doing, can you show up Monday? And I was like, I like, what is this job? Like, there's just an average time job.
Starting point is 00:33:27 I want this job. Now, this guy sounds amazing. And when I showed up to his office on Monday, not knowing if I actually had a job or not, he was not there, but the office was unlocked. And I walked in and he didn't show up for an hour. And then when he showed up, he talked to me and he said, you're gonna lose me money for the next year.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Like, you are worthless to me right now for a year. And I could go on about this, but I had that boss that you're talking about that. That's amazing. The craziness. And Chris almost came on board because I was like, I gotta bring someone in to help me. Like, survive.
Starting point is 00:34:00 I'm good. Well, it was one of the, it's like, is you can outrun him? Yeah, I can. You know when the gazelles take the weak one. I don't know, come, but yeah. Yeah, over.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Why brought you, Chris? I was like, Chris, you, because Chris needed jobs. Yeah, this was like 2010 and, you know, this is right out of, this is before actually I graduated. Chris, we share a birthday. What's our weakness?
Starting point is 00:34:24 I don't know. I guess. I don't remember. Memory. Oh yeah, he would have told you that. That's a lot of cemented joke. But it was one of the things. It was like, I was talking to Aaron,
Starting point is 00:34:34 and I was like, well, he's like, there's a job opening. I was like, I'll call, and I, you know, fill out the email, and I get a phone call like 10 minutes later. And he's like, and he's like, that it and he starts talking to me and asking me all this question. He's throwing out like long, like multiplication, like what's 13 times a-
Starting point is 00:34:53 26. Yeah. And he's like, just don't use calculator, just think about it. And then you say some answering, he's like, yeah, that sounds right. You didn't know either. But he wanted to see how you'd respond.
Starting point is 00:35:06 This is what always depresses me about conversations like this. I love hearing about a guy like this out there. But the thing that depresses me is I feel like I'm not crazy enough. Like I'm leaving so much on the table. Like clearly you'll put up with that. I don't think you're like one pent of that.
Starting point is 00:35:22 I could do so much more like awful horrible stuff. I don't really you like one 10 to that. I could do so much more like awful horrible stuff. I don't really can do that. I like in an interview when your perspective boss says, and yeah, if there's a play to cocaine from me right now, I'd probably sniff it up, but I don't do that anymore. What? Okay, I didn't say you did man, he's like, well good. Can we get this guy?
Starting point is 00:35:39 Let's move on, you know what? Can we get this guy on a podcast? No, you don't want to bring that kind of energy. And that's bad energy. Wow, fucking hilarious, dude. How long did you work for the guy? I don't know, six, six months, eight months, maybe, he's a six, this was during, okay, this was 2009.
Starting point is 00:35:54 This is when everything went bad, you know, recession wise and all this stuff. There was nothing to do, like, as far, like we just graduated and I was like, oh, a job in advertising, great. And so I jumped on it. And it was the most insane thing I'd ever jumped on. This guy, one more thing, talking about craziness.
Starting point is 00:36:12 He had a filing cabinet full of cash in his place, not locked, ready to do that. I'm actually doing that. It's like 50 grand in his filing cabinet. And but it was just for games. So the games were, you know those little things with the metal balls that you try and roll around and get them into the little divots. Yeah, labyrinth. Yeah, labyrinth of games.
Starting point is 00:36:33 He'd get out two of those and he goes, I'm like 80 years old. It's like the only game I had. What was wood? Yeah, these wood or these little plastic ones. Gotcha. Okay. And so after my time, the plastic was that. But he'd get him out and go, first want to get him all in. Gotcha, okay. And so, after my time, plastic was good.
Starting point is 00:36:46 But he'd get him out and go, first want to get him all in, $1,000. And I was like, holy shit! I can't do that. He's like, you win. I give you $1,000. I win, we keep playing. I'm like, okay.
Starting point is 00:36:57 So, I won the first time, he's like, double in nothing. I'm like, okay, sure. I mean, I guess there's no stakes. And then he's like, no, no, no, you're going to clean my car if I win the second time. That's not nothing. I'm like, okay, sure. I mean, I guess there's no stakes. And then he's like, no, no, no, no, you're gonna clean my car if I win the second time. That's not nothing. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:08 But it was the win two grand. So I was like, yeah, okay. Sure. And so I won again and he goes, that's not gonna happen every time. And so he goes to the filing cabinet and gets it. He gives me to, did you experience that? No, no, no, because I got offered the job. And then I turned it down because I was like, you're smart. I will put one I knew from Aaron's stories and then I turned it down.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Because I was like, You're smart. Well, one I knew from Aaron's stories also. Wait a minute, wait a minute, hold, I gotta put a pin in that for just one second. Did you get two grand? Yes, I got two grand, David to you?
Starting point is 00:37:34 He gave me two grand and cash. I never do that. I know, that's the down. You gotta get crazier. I could just go and double or nothing to leave you. Do it, do it. Do it, do it. That's the thing, you should never pay out.
Starting point is 00:37:44 What does it matter? The Gavin strategy for bedding. Just double it down. He does as I was saying. It sounds like that's just like being in the achievement hunter office. Like, I'll go over there and they'll have some ridiculous bet of like that's just been going on in their office.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Like, oh, you see that hole in the ceiling? Like here, here's this bet. Take this ball and if you can hit in the hole, you can get a hundred bucks. And I'm just like, the stuff of mad man. So weird place that they live in. By the way, history of achievement hunter office of people in that room not paying off their bets
Starting point is 00:38:07 happened to me again. Now my third time, I walked in there, they were bouncing a ball off the wall into a little bitty cup on top of a trophy that was in the center of all their desk and they've been doing it for four hours and they gave me the ball and I used to put the zoom and it goes right in and it went in the cup
Starting point is 00:38:22 but the cup's so small that it went in the cup, rolled around and then popped out. And they were like, that doesn't count. I'm like, are you fucking shading me? It went straight into the cup. You know what was the bet? I think it was a hundred bucks. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:34 And what happened? No hundred bucks. Your crazy boss gives out two grand for playing a little marble game. These guys never pay their bets. It was just why, and he was like, and if you, and he'd say things like, if you steal from me, I won't know. And I go, okay, he's like, what is that?
Starting point is 00:38:51 Why would you even say it? Oh, I know. Exactly why. He probably, he would know. And he's just waiting, like he probably dreams of the scenario where he would catch it and pull the stealing from him. I could go off the handle.
Starting point is 00:39:02 He would, don't think he cared. I really do. He would do things to set you think he cared. I really do. I really do things to set you up, to yell at you. Yeah. For like, like, because Aaron has a lot more stories, because I got offered the job and then decided not to do it, because I wanted to do film stuff and he also said, crazy. But it's like, went to the same Mexican restaurant, same thing, same table, big thing, restaurant was closed.
Starting point is 00:39:25 What's the weaknesses? We had the same birthday. We got to remember, I got to find this big book. But we sat down and we're talking and he's like, all right, well, what can I get you to drink? What would you, you know, what are you feeling this way? I was like, I guess I'll, I guess I'll have a margarita. Then if you know, he's like, you showed up in an interview and you wanna margarita? I was like, he was like, I would like to buy you a drink.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Right. And it was like the context was alcoholic. And then you answer and he's like, why are you buying an alcoholic drink at an interview? Like, I thought you wanted, I was trying to be polite. It's all mind games, beautiful mine games. That sounds terrifying Yeah, no, I I have fever dreams sometimes about it. It's pretty pretty bad He also did this thing where he he always had the newest whatever car and he left the keys in it and left it unlocked
Starting point is 00:40:15 And he said he said if it gets taken it gets taken I get another one I'm good Lord. I it's what he did do you ever like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm not, it's like, I can't get it. Your tip, Tony, right? We got it. Yeah, I blew it. Yeah. Otherwise, we're gonna think it's something of conversation with the kind of person where it's like, you just fast forward and you're having a conversation with cops
Starting point is 00:40:53 like in the parking lot and they're having this saying, well technically we can't arrest him for anything. Like, I got nothing. Where it's like, he's not doing anything wrong. I mean, he's just like, he's, I mean, throwing a laptop, you could probably say something about that, but you weren't hit by the laptop. He just destroyed his own laptop at the end of the day.
Starting point is 00:41:11 And it's, you know. Yeah, it's his property. He also asked me to fire people, even though he was supposed to do that. Like, how would he not, he would love that. Well, he didn't, there was an employee who liked him, this employee, and he was like, yeah, right? Well, he didn't, there was an employee who liked him, you know, this employee, and he was like,
Starting point is 00:41:28 I know, I know she likes me, she, you know, but she looks like a marshmallow in a dress, and I'm not gonna do anything about it. Oh my God, good boy. I know, you got a fire, Aaron. Good, I'm gonna fucking love you. I have to fire her, and he was like, yeah, and do it by the end of the day.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Go to, he told me the restaurant to go to, and he's like, do it there, pay for dinner, use my card, you know the number, and then, you know, do it by the end of the day. Go to, he told me the restaurant to go to, and he's like, do it there, pay for dinner, use my card, you know the number, and then do it by the end of the day. And so I was like, okay, I was, it was 22 or 23, I had a fire. I know there's a lot of people working there. Yeah, he doesn't think he really liked him, right?
Starting point is 00:41:54 It sounds like this boss immediately took a shine to Aaron, and it was like, he's the kingdom. In a weird way, he was like a mentor, in a scary, not everything he said, but he had some interesting life lessons like, you know, on- He's just fell into play. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, restaurant and I go, I hate to tell you this, Bob wants you gone.
Starting point is 00:42:25 And she balled, like in the middle of this restaurant, like I had just fired someone for the first time ever, it was in the middle of the restaurant and it was at the beginning of the meal. And so, Why are you just, you're timing. Yeah. I had just you finish the meal.
Starting point is 00:42:38 Did you finish the meal? Did you finish the meal? Did she sneak out the meal? Yeah, we both stuck it out. Good God. And got dessert. And I didn't know I was a 22. And there's, yeah. the meal? Did she sneak out the meal? Yeah, we both stuck it out. Oh God. And got dessert. I didn't know I was a 22.
Starting point is 00:42:48 And then she ordered a margarita and I was like, what the fuck? I'm not I read her horoscope. I know. I think the book for your birthday but timing is also a weakness. Oh my God. I can't be dead. So guess what? We have a special guest in the side car. Oh, I just see him sneak in.
Starting point is 00:43:02 I just like to cut the max. So Max, we're not really sure how this came up. I was wondering how it came up. I don't remember how it came up. We were talking about the hair dildo thing and then you just threw it out there. It came up recently and it was just something that somebody mentioned very casually about you
Starting point is 00:43:17 that you're very well endowed. But they were very specific about your balls. pero eran muy específicos sobre los bolsos. more things, more divine, less and more sold with in Twitter Mail Sim. The brand number one in email, the brand had automaticization. It started right now in Mail Sim.com. You'll see more of your public brands, the brand is competing in global numbers of clients in 2020-2022. Are you in first of all, you can't pull talk. I mean, we're already here. We're here.
Starting point is 00:44:00 I should've just been like, no. I'll add a layer of mystery and privacy by saying, I won't talk about my dick. I'll just, oh, that was okay. That's fair, that's fair. Yeah, okay. But no, I always like, whenever I saw porn, like I was like, why does everybody have such a small bowl?
Starting point is 00:44:16 I just really, I did it. And then it was just like, like, I, you know, came out around 22 or like I only did like stuff for the first time with like another guy like 22 I was like wow you know small small balls and yeah and I have made almost zero considerations whenever I'm wearing pants. So there's just days whenever ever like people are kind enough not to mention it. I guess, but there's days where it's like, I guess I'm like walking around and it's like, just like, it's like, well, it's like just all there, like kind of bunched up or working it's way.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Yeah, it just makes it look like whoa. Like over the penis. Packin', it's, does it cover the penis and a hole over the penis? Here you go. I mean like, it's just, there's a lot to go. I mean, yeah, it did not what I wanted. Is it a sacking or a ball thing?
Starting point is 00:45:19 Like, Chris really specific about this. Both, it's just like the whole, yeah, I mean like, like if the, if the normal testicles are grapes, I don't know, like, what's between a grape and a- Canelope, golf ball? Avocado. Yeah, more golf ball.
Starting point is 00:45:36 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are they grape to golf ball? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it makes sense. I don't know, I think grapes. People like grapes, Are they long? You got that long ball? Yeah, and there's not really anything that we can do. There's not really anything you can do.
Starting point is 00:45:55 There's no like advantage you get there. There's no like, like, give up like all possible. They have the same aerodynamics. You know, they do not. And do you let me ask you and this is honest. When you flush a toilet, do they swirl around in the water? It's called the sidens kiss. Can we stop laughing for one second?
Starting point is 00:46:17 Come on, it's serious. It's going to be a serious question. You know, maybe, maybe once. They can't have that. That's enough for me. What have you once did, you know, maybe once. A week? That's enough for me. What have you once a day now? Yeah, it's like not really, it's the weirdest thing to learn
Starting point is 00:46:31 and then also like now what do you do with that information? There's like nothing to do with it. Well, you talk about the first time you were with a guy and you go out, you know, did a little disappointment, is it fair to say? Well, yeah, I was just kind of like, what's the deal? Yeah. Oh, poor baby.
Starting point is 00:46:46 Yeah, I show. And it's like maybe like all these porn stars are using like steroids and something like, you know, just drinking their balls. Just drinking their balls. But the flip side of that is for you is like the first time you're with somebody new, this is like, you know what's coming.
Starting point is 00:47:01 Like you like, this kind of, it's gotta be a fun reveal, right? I guess so, but it's like, it's just not even something that like really is discussed. I mean, I don't think I've ever like really discussed it hardly at all. That changed tonight. And now I'm in that other way.
Starting point is 00:47:16 I'm in that other way. I'm in that other way. I'm in that other way. I'm in that other way. I mean, it's not like, they're not like weird looking. They're not like, you know, like. What will be the job that you lost? I'm in that. It's just kind of like, they're not like weird looking, they're not like, you know. Well, we'll be the just that. You'll be the lost sight of. It's just kind of like, oh.
Starting point is 00:47:29 What in what that reveal is the equivalent of? Like, if I went to a friend's house and I opened their fridge and it was full of broccoli, like it was just a completely full of broccoli, be like, man, that's a lot of broccoli. I don't really care. Like, I don't, you know, I mean, broccoli necessarily, rock-ly necessarily,
Starting point is 00:47:45 but that's impressive that there's so much in one place. Well, I mean, too, it's like the big general things, like guys are much more focused on that than anybody else, right? Guys are way more focused on that. And if you're with guys, that's like, that's your demo, right? I mean, that's like, I guess, but like, you never see like on like, you know, the websites like, you the websites increase your balls.
Starting point is 00:48:07 It's not the same sort of mystique there. That myth would be so great on the sidebar just like, boohoo, they blew it out horribly for a job. It's always the girl looking, with the, pulling on the dude's boxers, looking going like, it'd be great if that was for a ball. She just moves up his pain. I wanted to record.
Starting point is 00:48:27 I'm going to Pornhub for the podcast. Oh, I got a record. I'm gonna look up Big Balls. That's why I went there letting her. Is that even? I actually turned off my mute. Oh no. There we go.
Starting point is 00:48:40 Okay. Thanks so much for having me on today's ball. Let me see what the auto completes on Big R. Let's see how far down balls are You are below big ass latinas You're a big big big white girls Who's big dick bitch? What is that? Oh? Yeah, that's what a person. It's category. Sorry big bitch. God. Thank you. God it. I love his work
Starting point is 00:49:02 I got it. I got it. I love his word. Too much. What you read is what you did on the sites. Yeah, there's a whole category on it. That's a whole category on it. Big balls. Yeah, wow You could have taken my word for it. I'm sure no one else Look it up. I'm not you know, they're gonna right away. Yeah, fall back. They do you know average circumference and average length of You know, penises and stuff like do they they don't really do studies like that for testicles It's an unexplored research field and we're actually all you know chipping in to learn So I think it'd be easier to weigh though you just set them on the scale. They don't vary as much either You know it's not like there's the erects. Oh
Starting point is 00:49:43 Yeah, there's no flaccid balls. No, I guess there's only just Fuller empty, but it does Does that very does that change the weight? I don't think so cold and stuff like that. No, no, no Like if you wade your balls Pre orgasm and post orgasm would they wait? Yeah, right? Yeah, it's got a it's got to go somewhere, but it's like it's an insignificant amount of. Wow. Yeah. You know,

All right, well Max, thank you for sharing such a personal detail, which we're all fascinated by. We wish you well in your journey. It's gonna be... I'm sure it'll never pop back up. Never, ever.

I can do it. The one thing I didn't tell you about was that running without... I was gonna ask you problems. Like, running without briefs is just, no.
Starting point is 00:50:58 It just helps me build extra momentum to go extra fast. No, it's like, it's like, Who the fuck runs without briefs? Was that hitting your leg? What's that? Was that hitting your leg or are you shot by? Yeah, yeah. But I No, it's like it's like, who the fuck runs the briefs? Was that hitting your leg? What's that?

It's not, it's just not gonna happen. So you're telling me you can't wear like a. It's not just not gonna happen. So you're telling me you can't wear like a normal pair of like tidy ladies?
Starting point is 00:51:48 No, I mean like a can, but it's just like whenever I'm like trying to run or do something, you know, like, like trying to move around like you want them to kind of like, Oh, so we should find out his birthday and put that as weaknesses. Yeah. Two of his weaknesses, I know, but the other one I don't. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:52:04 Max, thank you so much. Thank you. Love you everybody. Bring in the next witness. Yeah. See, you know, we make, you're making fun of your previous job and interviews and stuff like that. If we sat down with Max, we was interviewing.
Starting point is 00:52:16 He's an artist. We bring him into work in the art department. It's like, oh, at some point, we might want to bring you on the podcast and talk to an audience of about a million people, about your most. How do you feel about that? Where do I sign? He's like, why is there no one else in this restaurant? So it's funny that he mentioned that he kind of discovered that a little bit because of what watching porn, right?
Starting point is 00:52:38 So amongst our groups, a group of friends growing up, we had the discussion was like, oh, who's a circumcised and who's not, right? And a group of friends growing up. We had the discussion, it was like, oh, who's circumcised and who's not, right? And then, and our slang for that was like, they called it the doghouse club? Does he know it's like a doghouse? Wait, sorry, what? You lost me. Okay, with the penis and the doghouse thing.
Starting point is 00:52:58 So I'm sorry. Oh, doghouse, doghouse, right? Okay, I gotcha. Yeah, dog's in the house. Anyway, so it gots all thrown out there one day, because you know, being kids and whatever, and you know, one guy always was like, oh yeah, Doghouse Club, right?
Starting point is 00:53:11 Okay, this other friend is really weird. He would just go off in the other room and start watching porn, even though we're all hanging out. It's really strange. Anyway, so one day, I have to call me out like that. So one day we go walk it in to just be like,
Starting point is 00:53:22 all right, stop watching porn, let's go do something. And our friend. He's always been in the doghouse club goes, what's wrong with that dude's dick? And then we're like, what? It's that's that's an uncircumcised penis. And he was just like, holy shit. We literally watched on like on that spot.
Starting point is 00:53:44 He always thought that he was uncircumcised when he was circumcised. He learned it right watched on that spot. He always thought that he was uncircumcised when he was circumcised. He learned it right there in that room. He learned it. Yes, what in the world? How old was he? Oh man, probably like 16? Good lord dude.
Starting point is 00:53:58 You guys are all watching porn together. No, no, no, no! No, no, no. No, other guy, weird guy would go off and watch porn. We'd be hanging out in the living room. And I don't know why you would do it. It was really strange. And so, like, we wanted to go skate. So, like, we wanted to go and be like,
Starting point is 00:54:11 stop watching porn, let's go. And that's when our other friend saw, I was like, what's wrong with that dick? You all the time, Kyle's in the door. Like, it's that comp. Let me see. All at once. Yeah, you know.
Starting point is 00:54:20 Well, there's, there's, I don't think I can name the person by name, because that nice, he probably has told the story himself on the air. But there's, there's, you know't think I can name the person by name because I know he probably has told the story himself on the air, but there's, you know, it's a bunch of, there's some of our groups that are almost entirely dudes. And so it's like I said, guys are obsessed with channels. One guy told a story about, he used to play a soccer team and a guy in the soccer team was known as having a really big dick.
Starting point is 00:54:41 And this guy that we know was like really obsessed with it and everything. And apparently he just started talking, telling the story. It's one of those things when people tell the story, it's like, okay, go ahead. You know, where he goes to where, when the soccer team would do well, they would all get together, Danny would show it to them.
Starting point is 00:54:58 Like that was what? That was what? Here's your prize. That was real. Whoa, yeah. And essentially, I could have some matter of even telling the story wrong, I'm sure. But essentially, the way you walked me through it was,
Starting point is 00:55:11 it was really cool at first in the moment, but then later he would just be upset because he would be depressed that his take was in this enormous moment. Whoa, it was cool in the moment. Look at that thing. You know, everybody, you know, it was such an odd, like, reinforcing technique for, like, an
Starting point is 00:55:28 intermural squat. It's like the pulp fiction thing, like their face is glow, golden when he pulls down his pants and they're like, it's going to be a good year. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. It's like the weirdest thing in the first. I thought I'd misunderstood the story, but I don't think I did.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Wow. Can you see it, Shadow? That's when you know it'll be a good year. Jesus. All right. Before we move on, I? That's when you know it'll be a good year. Jesus. All right, before we move on, I have to read this. I'm always late on reading ads and dust is way better than I am. All right, this episode of The Roozy Podcast

Starting point is 00:57:00 All right. So what are we going to talk about? We should probably talk about what's going on in Texas with Hurricane Harvey, right? Because it's been going on now for, we're pre-recording this podcast cause of Labor Day, but it's been going on for over a week. And I'm glad to see finally the rain in Houston has just stopped because I've been in flooding before,
Starting point is 00:57:19 but since on Twitter, when you're dealing with flooding and you're trying to get water out of your house, but it won't stop raining outside, it's just the most demoralizing feeling in the entire world. And I'm sure you guys have seen images that have come out of, you know, South Texas and in Houston and it's just, it's unprecedented. My mom was doing, I mean, it was the same.
Starting point is 00:57:39 I was just about say demoralizing, it's exactly it. Because she, well, here's what happened. I think it was, when it made landfall Whatever day that was was Thursday Friday or something like that, but anyway, she was like oh, it's no It's nobody deal. It's like we're great. Boa blah by Saturday I get this call it like two in the morning. She's like Aaron our first floors underwater and I was like What you know because immediately those images come to mind of, you know, people stranded on the roofs and all that stuff. And I was like, are you okay? Well,
Starting point is 00:58:10 well, she's like, well, the generator flooded. We don't have power. You know, luckily we have water upstairs and stuff like that. But I mean, I, you know, I was surprised. What do you mean, not actual water? Yeah. Yeah, she had bottle water or whatever. And I mean, it was the craziest thing because in her words, she was like, we are the people that you see on TV, you know? Yeah. Which I was like, well, that's,
Starting point is 00:58:36 because it's so easy to disconnect and disassociate, because those are disaster people. Those people are on their roofs, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then your mom's like, no, no, we're right there. That's us. It was pretty bad. It's still is bad. People are dealing with a lot of stuff, but wow.
Starting point is 00:58:56 It's always just amazing to me on a scientific level with this is you see the pictures of the flooding and it's water up to the street signs and it covers a huge, huge area, square miles, all this water. And to me, the utterly incredible fascinating thing about that is all that water came out of the sky, that water was in the sky. In a weird way, the ground is less capable of handling that amount of water than the sky is. And it's just like, it's insane to think about that. That trillions of gallons of water just like somehow made it into the sky and then poured down and destroyed like an entire city, you know. And for a week at a time too. I think they said it could run Niagara Falls for a couple of weeks or something like that.
Starting point is 00:59:40 Some of the flows in the, because I've learned it's one of the things when the crisis, you start learning all these new terms that you never knew before. And they were talking about terms for like flow in a river and like some of these runoff from west of reservoirs. And there was one that was like, it was the equivalent of Niagara Falls in terms of gallons per second or gallons per minute.
Starting point is 00:59:57 And it's just like, that was just one like tributary that was coming out of this thing. Man, well, what I heard for us here was they said that like we got a year's worth of rain in a week. Oh, for Austin. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:09 And honestly, we've get it that bad. You just moved from Dallas just recently. And so we've dealt with that a couple times in the last few years. You know, I went on a rant on the podcast years ago about all the hipsters and Austin talking about lake levels. When the lake was dropping, it was like 50%. All the homes out at the lake, which we don't really talk about the lake much
Starting point is 01:00:27 on the podcast because in Austin, there's like a couple different cultures and lake cultures, like, we don't have anybody who's in lake culture. No, we're not lake people. We're not, we're not, we're not. It's like whenever we go out and do stuff, nobody, we never go out to the lake to do stuff.
Starting point is 01:00:38 But the homes that were out there, they just like, the property values were just plummeting because this, it was just like, what was a beautiful lake front was now a big like gravel front Or like a cute mud. Yeah, and it was awful like mosquitoes and everything else that was out there and Then after years of drought It's like this will never change and this is like now permanently the lakes are gonna be down It just started raining in 2015 it started raining in like February and it didn't finish raining until May.
Starting point is 01:01:05 It just, and it filled all of our lakes right back up. And you can go see those photos, like those before and after photos of drought stuff in California, they show lakes, and then six years later, there's like nothing. It's just like sandy, floor desert, basically, with a bridge over it. Speaking of the house,
Starting point is 01:01:18 is my friend in Houston sold his house 12 days before the hurricane hit. And the house, he talked to the people he sold to completely flooded and ruined. Oh my God. I'm on the flip side of that. Oh really? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:32 I don't know if you ever heard me talk about it for the house I mean now, I bought it on Friday and it flooded on Monday in Memorial Day. Yeah. And it was like complete. I bought the house one of the things I didn't want to do like a renovation project. So I bought something that was kind of like pretty much the way I wanted it. First day, I bought the house, one of the things I didn't want to do like a renovation project. So I bought something that was kind of like,
Starting point is 01:01:45 pretty much the way I wanted it. First day, literally the first day, it flooded about that deep in water and I had to like tear out the floors. It wasn't much, it'll be a little bit got in, but it was enough to where any water gets on the floors. Yeah, yeah. Are you in the base board, like the base board of the wall
Starting point is 01:01:59 and so are you up there? Yeah, tear that stuff out, usually. Yeah, if it gets up into the installation, it's a huge fan. Is that like Travis Patrick? Yeah. Oh man. Yeah, that's what like Travis used to look like. Like, just a few years ago. And now that that would be just completely filled with water. It's like all filled back up. We're at 100%. I sound like a lake level hipster. Yeah, as I say, are you sure you're not in the lake culture? We're at 100%. Now it's a 150% chance party
Starting point is 01:02:22 in this weekend. Yeah, well, but I am fascinated by weather. I mean, weather is like we're all at the mercy of weather. And it's interesting that how little control we have over that. You know, it's like if there's a hurricane and it becomes this massive thing, like Katrina coming towards New Orleans, now hard becoming towards the Gulf Coast of Texas, there's nothing we could do about it. Like there's literally like, if there was an invading army, we could do something about that. We just had to kind of like just wait. And run.
Starting point is 01:02:47 Yeah. And also once you're in that thing, you're like, well, how do people in flood waters, like how do they drown? How do they do, it's like, oh God, you don't understand until you're around an overpass that's flooded or some sort of like, you know, gutter or something like that
Starting point is 01:03:03 that's sucking in water. Like my high school football or my high school coach passed in the storm Saturday because he was helping people. And he was sucked away and he was gone. And people were like, where'd he go? You know, he's missing since last Saturday and they found him. Like, this guy was like six five strong dude. Awesome guy. RIP coach Jordan.
Starting point is 01:03:27 But he was telling people and he just, and he got taken away too. You know, and it's way more powerful than you are. I think the biggest disasters in the world have evolved water. You know, the mass volume water, the tsunamis that hit in Indonesia, you know, and the maldives. And that was like, that was brutal.
Starting point is 01:03:44 Just like you're just, you're in a place where you're not dealing with water and then suddenly you're way steep. I think if you go up to your knees and water, that's when you basically don't no longer have control over. If the water wants to take you somewhere, you just physically nobody of any size or any level of strength is going to be able to do anything
Starting point is 01:03:59 above that level. And you can see people were chest high or at least waist high in most of the stuff in Houston. Hey Patrick, if you guys could look up the the show Creek saloon from a couple years ago, they have the security cam footage of we just had a creek that just like basically overflowed and then flooded like a two block area. Yeah, to open Lamar. And it was that was interesting because we had a football stadium that kind of went underwater. That looked like, you know, yeah, it was just was interesting because we had a football stadium that kind of went underwater that looked like you know Yeah, it was just a lake there It's like right under the Lamar or and feel bridge or whatever it was
Starting point is 01:04:29 But it gives you a feeling this footage gives you a feeling of just like how are these people get trapped in their homes or whatever How does this happen? It's like it slowly builds up over time But then all of a sudden it gets bad very very quickly And you can just see it like we can find the security camp footage that they posted online You can see just like how how quickly things go wrong. Yeah, and he was talking about the, like, you know, people getting sucked down or whatever. I remember seeing this thing on Reddit
Starting point is 01:04:50 that like totally changed because you know, you do initially have this thing of like, oh, whatever, it's just like some water, you know, like at first. And I watched this Reddit of like, so this guy was walking and there was just a manhole cover. Oh man, that's a way. It was just terrifying, because this dude is walking,
Starting point is 01:05:05 it looks like the water's like, you know, it's like ankle deep, and then it's just gone. Because there was a manhole cover that had gotten pulled away, and so all the water's trying to pour into there, but it's high enough so that you couldn't see it going, and he was just walking, and then, look, it's just pulled down,
Starting point is 01:05:18 and now he's stuck in the series, and it's just like, that's shit, horrified. Yeah, so here's the footage we have. This is the saloon that's just right by the creek. And you can see it's, you can hear the rain outside, and the water's been building up. And there it goes. Bam.
Starting point is 01:05:35 Oh my God. This water just comes flooding and fills the whole place up, takes all the furniture out. Like, there's a sign, I guess, going through there. It's like, you would have no time to react to that. And I mentioned it, you're elderly. You know, it's like, this is a lot of the story you see about people trapped.
Starting point is 01:05:48 And that's just high. And it's churning. Yeah. It's like violently churning. It's white capping in there. Yeah. And that was a creek that overflowed in Austin about two years ago in Memorial Day.
Starting point is 01:05:58 Yeah. It seems like that like, like, I know it's weird, but I have this weird fear of being in a boat that capsizes and turns upside down. And then you, you know, you go, you think you're going up, but you're not really, you're going to the bowels of the ship. Yeah. And like as it's going down and like,
Starting point is 01:06:15 it's a very specific fear. I have lots of fears. I mean, there's a lot, like, it's in a lot of movies. I mean, well, because it happened, you know, it's happened a lot since, you know, shipping and stuff like that. But like, man, that kind of being, that swirling water and stuff just reminds me of just being trapped in those kinds of ways. Well, one of the, and there's a lot of really great stories of humanity and, you know, people reaching out to each other.
Starting point is 01:06:35 Do you go up in the Houston area? Yeah, yeah, south, southeast Houston. There's a great guy, I just want to, I just want to call out. There's a guy that I grew up watching. He's a local businessman. He always sponsored everything like sponsored, even like the shitty wrestling shows back in the late 80s that I watched. His name is Mattress Mack.
Starting point is 01:06:52 Mattress Mack! Yeah, he runs gallery furniture in Houston. And he's has gotten some national notoriety because when this happened, he turned his delivery trucks loose to be rescue vehicles. He opened all of his furniture stores where people could come as a shelter. I saw that.
Starting point is 01:07:07 Yeah, that's him. And his guy's like, he's like this legend in Houston that if you grew up in Houston, you know, mattress Mac and you love this guy. And it's so interesting to see other people discover him. He's just this complete humanitarian. I saw National Guard people sleeping on his mattresses, I think. And you know, it's just, you know, they're covered mud, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 01:07:26 And just all, I mean, it looked like the nicest barracks you'd ever seen because it's just pillow top mattresses in these National Guards people. And this guy, like, who built a business from nothing, like he has this furniture empire in Houston. And he would, while he had this mattress smack, I get it, he would literally go out in a mattress, like carved a part out for his face, he would wear a mattress and go around it.
Starting point is 01:07:48 He would do anything to promote his business, you know, that was the catchphrase, going to save you money. Yeah, I was saying you money. Hey, it's got a handful of money to show you. You can say like, yeah, he just super passionate super passionate guy. I know what I understand. I might be misremembering this, but I think he was like executive produced the Chuck Norris movie with the kids in it.
Starting point is 01:08:09 What was that called, do you remember that? More of the kids dreaming of Chuck Norris. Side kicks. Side kicks. I'm pretty sure that's him. Yeah, like he just got interested in like making movies and was like, you know, he's just like, well, it's just like,
Starting point is 01:08:20 you know, it's totally expected to like this like, down to earth dude, it's just like, he's a big Chuck Norris fan, you know what I mean? It just like makes sense to me. Which I'm just always running around Houston for a while there, and he was, you know, any kind of big business owner, I'm sure, would meet him and be like,
Starting point is 01:08:32 and Chuck Norse is like, I got this movie I'm gonna be in. He needs mattresses. I should look it up. I don't actually know what mattress, Max, gym, Mac and Vale. He provided the crash pads. I just can't imagine mattresses. I used to double-pilot top.
Starting point is 01:08:44 You save you money. Yeah, no, there was a lot of reaching out, I invited the crash pads. I just wanted to measure this. I used to double-pilot top. Save you money. Yeah, no, there was a lot of reaching out. It's been, man. It's been nice to see all the pictures coming out of it and just people helping each other. Some of the pictures though, and you've probably seen,
Starting point is 01:08:59 you guys have seen this picture before. Every time there's a flood anywhere, or hurricane or anything like that, people Photoshopped the shark in the water, like going down the road and every, every time it's like, and look, there's bull sharks on it. It's like, fuck her. Since like 99 or something, since Photoshop is around, they always put their sharks in the water.
Starting point is 01:09:19 It's like, I just, you know, people are having enough trouble and they don't need that. They don't need sharks. They don't need that. And also you're not, you're not seeing a foot and a half down in flood water. It's not, it's like run off water, it's got tons of dirt in it. Among other things, you're not going to be able to see to the bottom and see a shark like swimming around. It's not a half. It's just like a great white looking shark.
Starting point is 01:09:39 That's the kind of shit that gets my mom all the time. Because like, her technological achievement over the past few years is that she uses Facebook now. And there's so much fake news stories and pictures and things that get posted to there that she thinks are real. Like, she doesn't mean onion article. And I'm like, my onion, it's not real. Don't.
Starting point is 01:09:58 What's the one that where it's like, there's some story that went around for a while that is if you, you could jump really high on a certain day, because gravity on earth was gonna be The lie. Yeah, that was like a real thing and I remember someone was telling me about it. It's like yeah, you know, it's coming up We're gonna be able to jump really high that day. So dumb Well, you can probably do something nice for people on those days Yeah, you could get them some flowers from below pro flowers while they hit their personal record and jump height

Starting point is 01:11:52 Yeah, he contributed heavily to today's podcast. Emphasis on the heavily. Weighted. Oh, that was a ball joke. Not a weight joke. Well, yeah. I think it's, Chris, I was still on Chris, how I gave some money to some of the Hurricane relief organizations or whatever.
Starting point is 01:12:10 And Chris, you could just give it to your mom if you wanted to. I didn't even think about that. I guess it's a weird thing. I get it. I get it. You know, give it to everyone else or my mom lost know, my mom lost quite a bit, you know, and it's like, well, do I help her out? Or like, I don't know, like what, I don't know exactly
Starting point is 01:12:30 with the right path. It is strange when you're at a, an emergency of this magnitude, you probably know someone that you could help directly. That's what I was like, man, I feel like I know several people that could be helped directly, but it's a weird, you also need to help the agencies that save in those environments.
Starting point is 01:12:50 Well, there's an economies of scale, right? Exactly. You're also people that are affected on different levels. Right. Yeah. So, you're $10 that goes to name your organization, maybe get them more than if I get my mom 10 bucks, she's like, all right, great. Yeah, that's I mean, it's fine But get some toilet paper or something. Oh, um, yeah, but there's a really easy way if you want to support the Red Cross
Starting point is 01:13:12 I did it You can text and I'll look this up so we get the right information or nine zero six. Ah, I want to see now Let's look at the right one right across text close to this Oh, it's on screen. Right. Trust. Close. Close. Close. Close. Close. Close.

Bay Patrick, can we get you on the side card to talk about some stuff we've got coming up to?
Starting point is 01:13:46 So we're working on some things as well. I mean, obviously, we're based in Texas, we're in Austin. We were very, very fortunate to be on the fringe of this unprecedented storm, but even just being on the fringe of it, we got, like you were saying, all the rainfall we normally get in a year.
Starting point is 01:14:04 People whose lives here were affected. On a personal level, it's like, I had to go to this thing. I tried to, I had this job, this hosting job that I had. And it was in Las Vegas where I just got back from. And I had to go to it. It's like, there was like so many promotion around and everything. And if there was any possibility that I could, you know, go, I, I, I had an obligation to do it. But there were so many times where it's like, I don like, I don't feel like I can leave my house right now
Starting point is 01:14:26 and everything, and the universe was telling me not to go because I had three flight cancellations out of Austin, had to drive to Dallas and then got delayed two more flights than another flight I got canceled and finally got out at like 9 p.m. to go to this thing. So it was just like, even just being on the fringe, it paralyzed so many different things. And then for the people who were in the middle of this, you know, it's just, it's life changing to say the least. And so Patrick, what's the plan right now?
Starting point is 01:14:54 For, we are putting together a GoFundMe page. Okay. To help out a charity, we're still deciding on which charity, probably by the time the shares will have it set. So the description and link will be on the screen, right here. Got it. And in the description as well. So if you're listening to the podcast, just go to our link dump and I'll be there as well. Yeah, and you know, we're trying to do this
Starting point is 01:15:16 as carefully as we can. You know, it's like a lot of times when you're trying to raise charity, you want to make sure it's going in the right way. We have a lot of experience doing it with extra life and some other charity work that we've done and you guys work with Stackup a lot as well you're saying. It was I think it was an RT initiative. Was it was Stackup thing? Yeah, we were part of that because you guys.
Starting point is 01:15:33 Yeah, so the you know it's one of the things where we do have a lot of experience doing that people hear that you know know how to handle that and do things in the right way. So we just try and do whatever we can to help out. Yeah, and we jumped on to the Red Cross texting donation because that was the thing that was set first, and we could get on to it quickly. And we've had some time to kind of look at all the charities and see where we can help the most.
Starting point is 01:15:55 So that's what we're doing next. Cool. OK, and in the meantime, if you're looking for something, hopefully that link that we have will be something that you can contribute to. But there's a lot of different ways that you can help out if you're concerned about the people whose lives were affected in Hurricane Harvey. You know, even to symbol if you live in the US, there's disaster relief funding that is
Starting point is 01:16:14 provided by the government, those kinds of things. It's like, now you know what they're for. You know, when you see something like this, organizations like FEMA that helped out people recover from Katrina, and then they come help people now. We don't know. I mean, we're sitting here recording this late in the week, but on Friday, when we're recording this Monday, when it airs, we don't even know what this situation will be.
Starting point is 01:16:33 We're still in the process of all figuring out as this water recedes. Just what is left for, not just Houston, but a lot of cities along the Gulf Coast, Rockport, that was hit heavily by the hurricane itself, Corpus Christi. Most thing I learned, right? Yeah, just Beaumont, right hit heavily by the hurricane itself, Corpus Christi. Mustang Island, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:47 Just Beaumont, right? Yeah, I think so, yeah. Pretty much. It's just a lot of it. I really, I didn't see this, and I wish somebody had done it. You kind of lose perspective for how big the storm is just because of how big Texas is.
Starting point is 01:16:59 For something to affect, most of the Gulf Coast of Texas, if they laid New England over that, it would literally be every state in New England, I think. And I haven't seen that. I would like to see someone, if this had hit another part of the US, it's like people just keep saying Texas,
Starting point is 01:17:13 you tend to think, oh, it's one city, it's not. It's an enormous, enormous amount of land and a huge amount of people that are affected. Houston's now the third largest city in the nation. It's finally passed to Chicago, from what I understand. Oh, so I don't. Even though on a smaller scale too, helping outwise, if you're in Houston or they're about,
Starting point is 01:17:31 a friend of mine is helping people with their houses tear out like the rubber sits in there and help them with the flood and everything. If you see someone, a neighbor, and again, you have to be local or whatever the case is, like, you can just go and help them, you know, and they'll be appreciative of it, you know, clearing stuff and a house when it gets flooded is just full of just shit, just mud and grass
Starting point is 01:17:56 and everything's ruined and blah, blah, blah, and if you can, you know, help your neighbor that goes a long way. Yeah, and it's like, I don't want to get too preachy here or anything like that, but also, even if you're not anywhere near the area, and you're just like on social media, I read a really interesting perspective of someone
Starting point is 01:18:09 who was talking about being in a situation where they didn't, their power was out, all they had was their phone, right? And so they were trying to get information as quickly as they could. One of the things that they used in order to do that for quick dissemination of information was Twitter, but they kept getting in the hashtag
Starting point is 01:18:23 and the hashtags for their crisis were filled with people just saying, oh, look at this crazy picture of this thing and hashtagging the thing or saying, I'm praying for the victims, you know, and then all this stuff. Look at the shark in the water. Yeah, exactly, like that kind of stuff. And, or even like calling it out,
Starting point is 01:18:38 like can you believe somebody Photoshopped this thing? Harvey, and it's like, then people don't need that in a time of crisis. So let people use that hashtag for, you know, things for disseminating information. But then also there's another part of it too, which is just, I was really shocked by it. And I just, I guess it shows the disconnect of people who have never been in a crisis. But I saw people posting, like I saw a post by Casey Neistat and he said, my wife's seven year old father is trapped in his house.
Starting point is 01:19:05 Here's his address. Can someone please help him? And it was just like people saying, oh my gosh, I wish I could do something, that kind of thing, normal expressions and reply. Couple of people in there saying, oh my God, in the area, I'll see what I can do. But then there was also a group of people
Starting point is 01:19:18 that were just like, why can't you evacuate? It's like, dude, come on. And it was just like, I thought, I don't know that much about, Casey's life, but apparently it's part of his vlog. It dude, come on. And it's like, I thought, I don't know that much about, you know, Casey's life, but apparently it's part of his vlog. It must have come up. Somebody was even like, isn't your father-in-law a doctor? You should be smarter than this.
Starting point is 01:19:32 It's like, dude, shut the fuck up. Sometimes you can really help out by just not saying a fucking thing. Also, that's just emblaming. And it is, and it's like, what are you contributing there? It's just like, it's, these situations, they come on nowhere. Nobody told Houston to evacuate. Nobody told us to evacuate in Austin.
Starting point is 01:19:47 That storm takes a left. I mean, our houses are all gone. And this production, we're not having it this week because this place is under water, you know what I mean? I mean, they specifically didn't tell Houston to evacuate because like when that happened with Katrina and people were evacuating, people were getting killed in the cars
Starting point is 01:20:03 because of the flood waters. And it's like, there was a reason why they didn't do that. You know, I mean, it, it, it's, it's always stuck on the highway. Yeah, it's now under water. Well, it's easier on day four of a hurricane to predict what the hurricane was gonna do. Right.
Starting point is 01:20:15 It's not so easy on the team minus one day to say, okay, the hurricane's gonna go here and then it's gonna take a harbor right and go up the coast. They don't know what's gonna happen. Plus there's a person that has to go like, yeah, evacuate the six million people from the city. You know, like, you're gonna be sure,
Starting point is 01:20:30 or at least, I don't know, as confident as you can be. It's much harder to be safe than sorry when you're dealing with a million people. Also, when you live somewhere for 30 or 40 years of your life, it's hard to imagine two days it can be underwater. Like that you live in like, you know, just chest deep in water. It's just hard for anyone to imagine two days it could be underwater. Like that you live in like, you know, just chest deep in water.
Starting point is 01:20:46 It's just hard for anyone to imagine that that could take place. And it's not, I mean, Houston does have a history of hurricanes, but this is, I think it's never seen anything like that. I'm saying it's like, there's definitely a time for jokes and it's comedians. I would definitely say that, you know,
Starting point is 01:21:00 when there's dark parts of our history that you can go back and make jokes about it, 9-11, being the big one is like, people got very sensitive about jokes after the fact. Once a crisis is occurring, I can absolutely say that's not the time to be standing around making jokes, coming up with the hottest take of what's going on.
Starting point is 01:21:16 It's just, I was super disappointed to see some of that stuff. The anonymity that people get, and they feel like they can just say whatever they want. You know what I mean? I was legitimately amazed. And I've seen a lot of stuff on the internet. As you know, my search history will now say
Starting point is 01:21:30 today's podcast. All right, cool. Anything else, final thoughts, anybody?
