You want us to oh, come on.
So thanks to meundys,
response me this episode of the podcast.
I want to play Minecraft.
This episode of the ruchertieth podcast is, of course,
also brought to you by Squarespace.
Love you two Squarespace.
But we're gonna talk about you a little later. And then that one over there, which she just talked about. I'm Gus. Oh, I'm John. Good Lord.
Oh, I'm Barbara. Yeah. Oh, I'm Bernie.
Oh, and I'm still Gus.
You guys, so South by Southwest is going on.
I feel like things are always a little hectic,
a little crazy around here whenever South by here.
So by. Yeah.
I was just talking about this with Anna.
Do you know anybody who travels to Austin
to attend South by Southwest every year?
I mean, the majority of people who attend South by, don't they travel for? But I feel like everybody who comes to South by Southwest every year. I mean, the majority of people who attend South by,
don't they travel for?
But I feel like everybody who comes to South by Southwest
is there for a reason, like they're working.
Right.
Like they're there to do stuff.
Like you just attendee.
Right.
Like who's like, oh, it's South by coming up.
I gotta, I gotta, I go every year.
Right, I've never run into that person,
but it's like Coachella.
I've met a bunch of people who traveled to Coachella.
Oh, and they're gonna let you know.
I know.
You'll find out.
Bernie man, Bernie man is like, man, I only know they're going to Coachella by call the
fire festival.
Oh, fire festival.
Oh, that dude.
He got convicted, right?
Oh, he got a fire fraud.
Yeah.
Yeah, they got him for wire fraud.
The, the, the, Scarelli, is that what he says?
Name two, the farmer bro.
Yeah, yeah.
He's seven, seven, seven, 14 years ago.
You see the excerpts from jurors selection for his trial?
No, right.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna look like inclined to just hate him
like just by looking at him.
Yeah, just the interviews for people to be
on the jury for his trial.
I think the reasoning that you know people
who are attending for work is because that's like
the industry we're in. So the majority of people you know are people who would be attending.
Confirmation bias. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just saying it's like I would like to meet the person
who is like I just come to South by. Just go on the street. Yeah. This is a
industry event. So yeah, maybe I guess it would be the same as going to like a personal
on convention and everyone there just happens to work in the hair industry. Of course
they do. Yeah. but I don't know.
I just feel like there'd be somebody who just attends
South by.
For like, yeah, for like music, I think that's probably
the biggest one.
Well, we went and saw Ready Player One and this is the
first time I've ever seen this happen, but that was a
very full theater.
And so the theaters for those kind of showings, there's a
big chunk that's just reserved already for the people that
made the movie and have their friends in there.
And then the next people that are led in
are people who are like, get express passes.
And then the next is people like us
who have film or platinum badges.
And then that's already filled with theater
like almost a capacity.
And then they let just people who have like
a wristband may become in.
And when we already been in,
I was waiting for to get a drink like a coffee.
I saw them let in like five people
from that part of the line.
And those five people who, by the way, the badge you're talking about, we were very fortunate
enough to be given free badges to South by, we got the platinum badges. Those are $1,600
dollars.
$1,630 to be exact.
Is that true?
And $99 RTX to get in, it looked so bad.
But it was like, we had a $1,600 badge. I did not, I
wanted to clear I did not pay $600 for this. It was very nice
to them to give us the bad. I paid for Bernie's.
Yeah, John paid for my yeah. I have Gus. You know how like, this
is how much I like Ashley, she really wanted to go see ready
player one for the know. And so the screening was last night. So
we had to line up the movie start 9 30 with a lineup at 7 to see it. Wow and a half hours early. I stayed the whole time.
I stayed the whole time.
I did.
I stayed the whole time.
That's like going to the Alamo way back in the day.
You know, Aaron Morgan said that to me, our friend Flash.
He said that he goes, I know how you feel about that because when the Alamo moved to reserve
seating, they used to just have no reserve seating.
You can only buy tickets like five minutes before the show started.
Yeah, so people would show up two hours early.
You never know if you could get into an album.
You'd show up two hours early,
you'd be like, well, the line's coming down,
this is like when the old location,
the line's coming down the stairs
and we're only a little down the block.
We're probably gonna make it in,
but those guys in front of that restaurant,
they're definitely not making it in.
And there would not be anybody
counting the people waiting in line
to like tell you, hey, don't bother lining up.
No.
Oh, that's shitty.
And it was like, I think it was of all the place,
like a trip advisor, review or a Yelp review.
But I think it was a trip advisor
where there was this huge debate and outcry
about the Alamo Draft House theaters
moving to reserve tickets.
And there were people like this ruins
the entire line culture of the Alamo.
It's like, it's like,
I was like, you got to fucking
get that. That is an Austin problem. That is an Austin problem for sure
For sure what are we gonna do if we're not waiting in a line
But we were guaranteed to get into this movie
I mean, it's like if you paid $1,600 and then you wait in line for two and a half hours and then didn't get into the movie
Yeah, what in the world? Yeah, what in the world? I mean, it's just like that's crazy and even a normal bad
I think 800 I think so
I think Wow, that's a lot what's a normal badge is like 800? I think so, it's like, at the end of the 900.
Wow, that's a lot more.
What's the cheapest South by badgick again?
I think any one badge,
it's like 999 or whatever you say.
Yeah, yeah.
But you can buy it if you buy them further in advance.
Yeah, like a West has a film badge
and that's only like $300 cheaper than ours.
Yeah.
Yeah, they really push you to spend a little more
to get the stuff. I've already spent $1,300 a month. I'll get a platinum.
I'll say a little more. Like, $300 bucks is a... I know.
Three of a bucks is not much. I've already spent $1,300. You already invest.
If you are traveling from out of town, at the end of the day, the $1,600 if you are going
to pay to go to this festival, you're paying more than that airfare in hotel and meals.
It's like the trip is going to cost you more than that. If you just buy it by like,
if you're at South by the entire nine days, you're going to talks andfare and hotel and meals. It's like the trip is gonna cost you more than that. If you just fight by like, if you're at South by the entire nine days,
you're going to talks and events and movies
and some music and everything,
like there I could justify it.
But if you're just,
like you just wanna go to one thing,
or like a few parties or whatever,
definitely not worth it.
And it's also a lot of money.
Also I think South by is kind of shifting a little bit
the way E3 is now,
where it's more so about
what's outside the event and inside the event, you know?
The film festival's different because you go to the movies.
You know, they're not showing random movies
like down the block or something like that.
They might be doing that, but I'm not aware of it.
Yeah, so there's a lot of stuff,
but there's also a lot of stuff you don't need a badge
to get into.
Yeah, it's like all the insularies stuff.
Like you went to the Westworld thing, right?
For the Westworld thing.
How was that? How was that? What was that? Yeah, what did like all the insulation. Like you went to the Westworld thing, right? So the Westworld thing. How was that? What was that?
What was that?
Yeah, what did they have out there?
They basically got you on a charter bus
and then took you way out to Maynard
to this small western town they built
out in the middle of nowhere out there.
Street water, right?
It's sweet water.
They literally created a sweet water replica
and you would enter through like the entrance of the show
and go through the train and then you walk out
and you're in this actor populated hosts,
populated world that has stories and resets
and events and mysteries for you don't cover
and there's, you can shoot a dude.
There's like questions you can do.
No.
Only if you have a platinum badge.
Yeah. Don't fly that was really to shoot the guy. There's like questions you can do. No. Only if you have a platinum badge. Yeah.
I don't find that was really to shoot the guy.
I witnessed something happen on Sunday when I went
because I was watching an event happen
where some guys were roughing up like the town drunk
and then they got roughed up by the local sheriff.
And so by the end of this event,
the guys are on the floor, you know, knocked out.
Some idiot that was an attendee decides to run up and try to take one of the actors,
prop gun. And then gets chased off by the sheriff actor. He's like, no, no, no, you can't do that.
The actor stating character and got him off. But then I watched a producer do,
who's as like the earpiece in, go up, grab him,
and escort him off the premises.
Get out.
Cause like you idiot.
Like yes, they like, they like,
you can't just go and grab the prop gun that is.
But you're not in Westworld.
Yeah.
I have a question.
I've, cause I saw everyone tweeting about it
and I haven't seen Westworld yet.
What's the difference between the black hat and the white hat?
Does it, is it something that's gonna spoil the show?
No, it's not a spill thing.
Okay. It's just like a spill thing.
It's just like a typical like cowboy trope, right?
Like how you go out.
Yeah, it's a representation of maybe how you would
will act in the part.
It's like a real thing.
Gotta go lawful good or do you go kattaki?
Yeah, that's it.
Or the hair in the white hat is like.
Yeah, good.
Yeah, you're just gonna go enjoy the western town
and have your little fantasy
and go ride horseback and camping.
And that black hat, you're like shooting people
in the fucking everything.
Gotcha, okay.
Yeah, and then not the activation thing,
when you showed up to check in,
the first thing you did was go upstairs
and then you went to this table and they were like,
what's your name?
And you give them your name, you're like,
you're a black cat and they give you that.
Oh, they would tell you?
Yeah, it's fucking dark.
That show is really dark.
If you're really gonna watch it,
the season's coming out really soon. It's like just what April dark. If you really need to watch it, the circumstances coming out really soon.
Like it's like just what April 20th or 22nd?
22nd, 22nd, yeah.
What if you removed all the morality from moral choices?
It's like, that's what it is.
There's no repercussions here actually.
No repercussions whatsoever.
Not even guilt.
Yeah, that's like number one on my list.
It's good.
It's good.
Hey, I'll talk to you about that for a second.
There's a fair amount of dick in it.
I've heard.
There's a giant front and center dick.
That's a great exchange, Quentin.
What did she say?
Oh, your talents are being wasted.
Yeah.
I mean, there is like, they talk about a certain dick
for a few episodes, and then the episode comes
where you see it, and they don't just put it
in the background.
It's like, if this is the camera,
the dick is this entire part of the screen.
That's where it is.
We're wrecked your faucet.
It's flaccid, but it is.
It's a rest.
He's a shower.
A shower.
He has a shower.
Is it?
Would you prefer to be a shower or a grower
and what else do you what you are?
But it seems like...
Grower.
I'm a grower.
You're a grower.
I think it's the most people grower.
No, well, answer to both. Yes, I'm a grower and I think it's better to be a grower because sure is what you got to deal with that
All the time and then it's like and then it goes from like unimpressive to oh, that's impressive right?
It's like oh you're you can only get better. Yeah, I don't know about that because I would say I'm out of my life
I can only get better. Yeah, okay dick. There's like shower or grower. You don't care. Just dick. Yeah
By the time you get to it, it's all the same.
Just give it to me.
Just.
Just keep it.
So, what's one thing you don't,
this is not a dick motion.
Man, what's this?
I want to read this juror excerpt
before we get too far from it.
And I want to say,
I want to say some more about the South by thing.
The Martin Scrily juror selection.
So the court is talking to juror number 59. The court.
Juror 59, come on up. Juror 59. Your honor, totally he is guilty and in no way
can I let him slide out of anything because the court. Okay, is that your attitude
toward anyone charged with a crime? Was it not proven guilty? Juror 59. It's my
attitude towards his entire demeanor. What he has done to people. The court. All
right, we're going to excuse you, sir. jury number 59, and he disrespected the Wu Tang clan.
He did that last bit in.
Wait, wait, wait, listen, I'm all for this guy being a jackass
and he should go to jail for what he did,
but how did he disrespected Wu Tang clan?
He bought a bit, I'm like a million bucks for the rabbit.
I'm about to talk shit about the album after he bought it.
Oh, did he?
He loved to troll everything that he had.
And so when people were like jealous of it,
he was talking like, he's like,
not only do I have it,
like he was talking trash about him.
He's talking trash about it.
Well, good luck on the inside, motherfucker.
That's gonna go over real well.
Maybe he can like bring it in with him,
like shove it up his butt.
If he meets anybody in jail who either needed that drug
or ran into someone who needed that drug,
or just like the Wu-Tank.
Or just like the Wu-Tank, the guys,
I had that fucking douche nozzle.
What was the drug? That wasn't the F.I.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P. know if we're listening. If we're gonna be outrage. If we're gonna be outrage. You're right, you're right. I can't do it.
I hate it when I become ignorant about something
that I have an opinion about.
And I'm like, well, I shouldn't have this opinion anymore.
Exactly right.
Yeah.
If I've forgotten it, then why am I holding on to the emotion?
He's probably a nice guy.
He's fine.
Oh, so Sai is going to jail.
I want to say what they do before we got too far away
from the lines and passes in South by Southwest convention stuff,
is that we also run our own live events.
And I don't, you know, you're never,
if you're gonna have a bunch of people in one place,
you're never gonna solve the issue
of crowd control in lines.
Those exist.
When you go to a stadium, you end up in lines, you know,
when you go to like, hall H is a two day wait
to go to hall H, a Comic Con.
You know, lines are, when you have a bigger people,
that's what happens.
But it's one of those things where it's like,
if someone has paid $1,600,
it's just like holy fucking God,
that's unbelievable to me.
That's a lot of freaking money.
I guess because it's, oh my God,
this is a picture from South by Southwest.
Is this this year?
That's not their branding for this year.
Is this year?
Last year. Last year.
Last year.
But yeah, I mean, that's a ton of people.
Yeah.
Well, that was at the Westworld thing.
The whole thing was, well, the preview night
was invite only, but then the other nights
was that if you replied to this event thing
and got a ticket, you could go.
But then they also had a standby line.
And so when I got there with West,
I saw the standby line that time,
and it was going way down the street,
and I was like, is that a line that we have to wait in now?
And he's like, no, that's people that've been waiting here
since like eight o'clock this morning
in hopes that at some point today,
they might get into the park.
I think waiting in lines is not as bad as long as you go
into the event or the experience knowing
that that's going to be part of it.
I think people who don't expect that have more trouble with that and maybe get more aggravated
was like, if you understand that you're going somewhere that's going to have a two hour
wait, you're going to have to stand in line to get into it.
It's like, it's easier to deal with in that case.
Yeah, the top part for me is there's always somebody who's got more time that can just say,
I'm going to show up two days early for haulage,
and I'm just gonna sit and haulage the whole time.
You know what I mean?
I'm gonna bring a sleeping bag.
Yeah.
Gust did that for a fan of menace.
I did.
What a fucking mistake.
I'm gonna talk about questioning your life choices.
So before we get away from it,
the drug was Dara Prim, a 62-year-old drug
used for protozole infections.
protozole infections.
The price was $13.50 and was then raised to $750 a tablet.
Wow.
So that's like two of them and you get a platinum badge.
Yeah, you almost.
You almost.
Almost.
It's like that drug and was that movie limited?
Unlimited.
Unlimited.
Unlimited with Bradley Cooper.
I never saw it.
It's funny when people talk about that movie. They always say unlimited with Bradley Cooper. Maybe it is limited. But yeah It's funny when people talk about that even they always say unlimited with Bradley
Maybe just limited. I think it is limited. No, it's on limitless. There you go. I knew it wasn't limited
Yeah limited. I think it's a girls clothing store in Canada. It's a brand
I think I saw the other day that you ever see that
That store in the mall Claire's, they sell shitty earrings and stuff.
Oh hell yeah.
They're declaring bankruptcy, they're all gonna close.
Oh no.
They're very clear in bankruptcy.
That's pretty good.
They're yes, they're declaring bankruptcy.
I think that's the longest silence after a joke.
Just gonna wait it out.
Just gonna, just gonna,
you've got to double down.
It's camera, John.
It's so we can insert. No. It's so we can insert. Oh
Back to the shame girl
You saw she grabbed it she has no shame. She has no shame. She's like a crap
I'm gonna come and she now to him come for dick. What a neat please one of the things I say that I love about reddit is
Reddit is such a great machine for discovering the perfect joke about a situation
because there's this announcement of a headline and then if you're like eight hours late to that
headline you click on the comments the top comment is the perfect comment. Not even eight hours.
Yeah, it's not even eight hours. It's a distillation process that the good stuff comes
the top and then you can just read the top crust. Right. I think like on the main page, on the main page, it's like that.
And for the scarily going to jail, they said he had a seven year sentence.
The top comment was the original sentence was only 14 days, but the judge increased it
by 5,000%.
That's a fucking perfect joke for that.
That's pretty good.
I mean, no one is going to, he'll probably only do two years, you know?
Yeah. Like because of good behavior. He's a rich white dude. for that. Pretty good. I mean, no one is gonna, he'll probably only do two years. You know?
Like because of good behavior.
He's a rich white dude.
And his charge wasn't because he raised the price of the medicine.
He's like, didn't he defraud?
Yeah.
A bunch of investors or something?
Yeah, well, he's trying to.
And that's what everyone was making comments about was that he's not going to jail because
he screwed over poor people.
He's going to jail because he screwed over rich people.
Don't do that.
Yeah, man.
Well, don't do either.
Maybe just don't screw over people.
Yeah.
Be a good person.
Yeah.
Put the weakening album out.
Hey, Bernie, could you just be a good person, please?
White hat.
You, so Dickie, boy, think you've John a free hat at this fucking
thing.
I got two hats.
You got two hats.
You got a white hat and a white hat.
How did you, were you not supposed to take them?
You went twice.
No, you, you take them.
I went twice.
Oh, I mean, hats are the given.
Those are expensive aren't they? Yeah, but it was like, it was only limited now if people so it was like a part of it there
There was like the whole part
I got two hats even though it was limited. What could you you could buy someone else of a hat literally just started with being a good person
To have one you want the white one sure
Go ahead. I'll let you borrow excellent Gus and I are in the same boat here that we don't give shit because those promo hats
There's no way they're fit in us.
Yeah, no, no.
That would be like,
that would be like,
that would be like,
I have a giant head and they had,
like they gave me one and they're like,
this is pretty big.
Let's see if Fitzgerald's like,
nope, give me the next biggest one.
You're better than like, yeah.
I actually, they both fit my head comfortably.
I have a big head too.
I think we all, I have a huge head.
You do not.
It's long, it's long, it's where. You've got a baby head. No, no, it's. I think we all have a huge head. You do not. It's long this way.
You've got a baby head.
No, no, it's not.
I'll brush you with my head.
Do you want to do a hat comparison?
Sure.
We could do it.
I have a long head.
It's not big this way, but it's big this way.
It is bigger.
You can't not imagine.
We use the precisely calibrated John Tung.
John touching.
And that's how we came up with issues.
It's a good size, but it's not even as big as mine.
It's a good size.
Actually, it's a tiny head.
Yes, it does.
A little tiny head.
Well, I remember that,
at least and I had the same hats for 11 little roosters.
Those are Mounty hats.
Yeah.
And hers, you put it on it,
it would just like sink to her eyes
and mine wouldn't even go over my head.
It's the worst.
I don't know, I'd rather have a hat like fit
wrong the other way. Yeah. Then to have my head. It's the worst. I don't know. I'd rather have a hat like fit wrong the other way.
Yeah.
Then to have one that just sits on the top.
That's what you can do about it.
You're like some kind of stupid cowboy doll.
You're like, you're your chin to like hold it.
Keep it from lying away.
I can a little bit over there.
What's that?
Do you have a little head actually?
Eating a sandwich.
Yeah, a little bit.
Like if I put it in the top.
It's not a lot like tiny little hands too. My hat. Yeah, a little bit. Like if I put a lot of like tiny little
hands. My hat off and put it on her. It's just like wobbling around like that. Broadcast is looking
for measuring tape. Oh, there it is. Oh, do we have like, is that real? This is what we're gonna use.

Let's not be so boring
Yeah, come out of here Get a dentist guy, right?
There. You're at exactly 61.
Okay, thank you. I needed that.
61 is really important.
I mean, I've really won.
So I think that's all the matter.
Shut up. Is that winning or losing?
What's that? I think it's awful.
I have to buy hats from a special store.
What do they say about guys online?
Is it a hat store?
It's a giant head hat. I think that's the from a special store. What do they say about guys like that? Is it a hat store? It's a, it's, I mean, it's called giant head hats.
I think that's the name of the place.
Wow, they're not like, yeah.
They're not catering to your feelings at all.
I think I looked at them like,
what hats for giant head?
Hey, fuck, face got a big head by our hats.com.
Well, it's kind of like how you know,
like the surgery to get your nose reduced
is called rhinoplasty.
Yeah.
I know.
It's just like adding insult to injury
for people who are insecure about things. Big head, big head hats, big head caps. That's what it's called Rhino Plasty. Yeah. Rhino. It's just like adding insult to injury for people who are insecure about things.
Big head, big head hats, big head caps.
That's what's called.
Big head caps.
Yep.
And every now and then I just order a couple
and just have hats.
My like my Dodgers hat is one of those Flexfit
and there's some Flexfit hats that I can wear.
That's the reason why if I have a hat,
like I used to have that rooster hat until Rh Wyatt stole it. Did he take it? Take it? Yeah, but I think I lost
it after that. I think he gave it back to me. But he did. He liked my hat a lot so he stole
it and a party one time. Oh, as a joke, but then he ended up with my hat. So I stole
Joe's watch ones. Who's do you still have it? Do you really? Yeah, for like maybe three
weeks. I accidentally stole Gavin's wallet one time. His orange one. I had it for like
three weeks. It's a nice watch. Yeah. So Joe's super good at blackjack. Yeah. I accidentally sold Gavin's wallet at one time. His orange one. I had it for like three weeks. It's a nice watch.
So Joe's super good at Blackjack.
Yeah. I think we might have talked about this for a while.
I hope I can tell the story.
And I sat with him in Las Vegas.
And I watched him win the money in one fucking night
to buy that watch.
It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen.
It was incredible.
Man, I stole it.
And then you stole it.
Then John Rice could stole it.
Yeah.
So I'm here to do.
We got all kinds of hats. They got Velcro hats. I mean, you stole it, then John Rice could stole it. Yeah. So I'm here to do. We all kinds of hats.
They got Velcro hats.
I can get myself a three XL tarp hat.
Is that the guy?
Is that the guy?
Is that the guy?
Side you need?
Do you need to order three XL?
I don't know.
I mean, I just get like, I think there's,
those flex fit caps are small medium and in large, extra large.
And then if they're gonna make one,
like they made that RVB vintage one,
I asked them to get me a double XL,
and that'll fit me in.
That'll fit my gigantic head.
So, and then if I get that, like I said,
if I get a hat, I wear it forever.
That's why I've worn the Datt Dodgers hat for like a year now.
Yeah.
I'm a Dodgers fan, but I'm not like a huge Dodgers fan.
It's just like that's a fucking hat.
Yeah, I can't even stop talking about the Dodgers.
Yeah, I can't ever stop.
Let's go.
Turns out it's actually Dodger,
the YouTube star Dodger that you're a fan of.
Yeah, it's exactly right.
It was through it.
I was trying to get around her show.
No, my older brother, Steve,
and he used to call me hot dog head when we were kids.
Hot dog head?
I have a very long and narrow head.
Oh, that's my brother just called me UT.
Because he got that like melanchead.
Yeah. Yeah, they were just calling me T because he got that like melon head. Yeah
Yeah, they were just calling me big head
If you want you weren't creative. They're like creators have a big head. You're just a big head
Man, so I you know, we had a birthday party for me recently. I turned 40. It's no no surprise I still can't believe you're 40 so when you're when you're 40 year old
Dude the doctor just starts doing new stuff to you that they've never done in the past So when you're 40 year old dude, the doctor starts doing new stuff to you that they've never done in the past.
So when you're 40, they have to check your prostate.
I've never had your prostate check before.
I've never had my prostate check before.
I've never got for you.
It's the first time.
And I thought about that reddit thread
that we read a long time ago
where that person discovered
they really liked prostate massage.
That's fucking red ever, but yeah.
I'm not that dude.
No.
No, I'm not that dude.
I was like, okay, some people are into this. I'm not one of them. It was
any simulation. It was uncomfortable. It was very uncomfortable. Maybe not those two speakers.
There's two speakers. There's the anus in the rectum. There's the one that you can actually control and then there's the one you really can't control.
There's two. It's like, okay.
And so the one that you control, you can get that to loosen,
but this one that's in the inside, you got to like,
coerce it.
Gotcha.
So maybe you're just trying to coerce.
You weren't relaxed.
No, I tried to be relaxed.
And now you probably didn't, it did not work out.
And the doctor, you know, the doctor's so casual about it.
He's like, all right, drop trial.
Mm-hmm.
All right, just go ahead and bend over right there,
put your elbows on the table.
I was like, oh God, it's just, and then it was happening.
And it was like, they stick fingers in and feel around.
Yeah, yeah.
He said, he said, he said,
they're gonna feel two fingers.
He said, you're gonna feel some pressure.
It's gonna feel like you're gonna need,
it's gonna feel like you're gonna need to urinate.
It did not feel like that.
I would have never feel like that.
I would have never feel like that.
I would have never feel like that at all.
I feel like you need to poop. What? What a poop. It did not feel like that. I don't know if it did not feel like that. I don't know if it did. It did not feel like that. I don't know if it did.
It did not feel like that.
It did not feel like that to me.
Yeah, but you have a little lash in there.
Do you have a glitter on your hands, Barb?
Barb and I just didn't interview.
Do you have glitter on your finger?
Yeah.
I was messing around with some makeup earlier.
Oh, were you?
Yeah.
I was like, we were doing the interview and I didn't want
to bring it up on that camera.
Yeah.
But yeah, I was like, are your hands glittery?
They are.
I'm a vampire.
And we were sparkling in the sun. on that camera. Yeah, I was like, oh, he has glittery. Yeah. I'm a vampire.
And we were sparkling in the sun. Barba Knight wears a not to completely talk about South by
South West the whole time.
That's about that.
But Barba Knight, we share Lazarus and town,
good friend of ours.
And she always does these amazing like installations in South
by Southwest and does interviews.
And she wanted us to come by, but she wanted us to come by
literally an hour before this podcast starts.
We had to be downtown at an hour before this podcast starts.
So we had to be downtown at four and in here at five.
So yeah, between rush hour traffic and South by traffic,
that's a risky.
Yeah, the weird thing is, is like Ubers here is,
I guess I'm using Ubers,
but Ubers is super easy to use
because no one in South by uses cars.
They just all walk around.
Like all my drivers this last week have all said,
yeah, I'm not any more busy than I usually.
I'm even though all these people are in town.
Well, it's because a lot of people in town for it
are not local, so they're probably staying downtown.
We're exactly close to it.
Yeah, a lot of people who live in Austin
are not going downtown this week.
Makes sense.
Well, before we get off South by completely,
we should talk about how we premier in blood fest.
You should talk about that, absolutely.
You should talk about that.
Yeah, you were there blood fest.
What?
Hey, is that a movie?
How this could get my hat?
It's a Derek Kingle on Twitter has my exact old hat.
Look at that.
Maybe he stole it.
It was Matt gave it to me because it was that rooster hat.
I didn't like that it said cock on it.
I always hated that.
And for one point, I was trying to figure out
how to remove the stitches that say that, but I couldn't.
But I can tell it's the same hat because he got it for me when he went to go visit his dad
in Hawaii and it has the Hawaiian Island stitched on the side.
So this guy has that exact hat.
Did you see my hat, your mother fucker?
Derek, Derek clingle.
Bloodfest.
Barbara talk about bloodfest.
Well, if Bernie doesn't get his hat back, it's gonna be a bloodfest.
Feature film debut of Barbara Dungleman.
Yeah. You were there for my friend.
My friend John was there supporting me.
Yeah, you're one and only friend, John.
What happened?
I supported my friend Barbara
by seeing her feature film debut.
How did I go?
I was not at the premiere,
but I had a reason I told you why.
I told you why.
Thank you, knock it, no.
It was a pretty gross.
That's us on the stage.
Look at them.
Yeah, it was a, it was a midnight hour.
Originally I was supposed to premiere at midnight
at the state theater, but because there was a more people
who wanted to see it, they actually got moved
to the Paramount Theater, which is just next door
that holds a lot more people.
And also do the delay it started a little later too.
So I think the movie started playing around 12, 45 at night.
Cool.
And finished at what, like, 215-ish.
And then we did the Q and A after so it was tired. It was a late night
But it was incredible being able to see the finished product was not only like my friends and people who worked on the movie
But other people who had no idea what it was about or anything about the movie was really surreal
The response was great everyone was laughing and
surreal. The response was great. Everyone was laughing and
reacting to everything appropriately. It's always interesting to see what people laugh at. I think that's always my favorite part of seeing anything with a
crowd because it's like, you know what's going to happen, but people laugh at things
that you don't expect them to laugh at. Right. And vice versa. It's like, well, no one
laughed at that. I guess it wasn't that funny. Had you watched that cut of it to that point?
I hadn't seen that cut of it. I also hadn't seen it as a full movie.
So I had seen bits and pieces of it. That's fun.
I definitely saw a cut before Gus got cut.
Hey, you mean the best cut? Gus was originally at it.
They're just going to make you an extra little short.
They'll just make the Gus part.
I think they were trying to make me feel better.
They're like, yeah, we can film some more scenes with you
and we can flesh it out and have this whole other side story.
I was like, don't pay for that.
Me and Mi Robbie, Jacob and Cey shell,
the cast of Black Vest were talking about how
we were all bummed out that your stuff got cut
and we really want them to take all your scenes
and edit it into a really emotional short movie
and put make it black and white
add some French music to it.
Can we say what your character was?
I think we've talked about it a bit.
So it's like a guy that just couldn't get it in the first place.
Right, he's like outside,
it's trying to get in the whole time.
But I have that scene where,
I think my first scene where I run into them in the parking lot.
Yeah.
And I give them like the double flip off and drive off.
Yeah.
And I remember we filmed that and they were,
they said just flip them off and drive off
and did like a double flip off and drove off with my hands right on the wheel and then
you know they'll cut they came up and was like hey that was great don't ever do
that again we need you to keep your at least one hand on the wheel yeah but
didn't I use it that's what was in the they didn't I'm cutting it it wasn't in
the film but that would have been the scene but no it was it was so much fun
then we had another screening the next night as well as the South by South was party
that we had for Bloodfest, which was awesome.
We had the pig butchers there and clowns and zombies
and vampires and everything like that walking around.
It was a very surreal experience.
Yeah, Bernie was there,
then he came to the party.
He made an appearance.
Oh, stop it, how dare you.
How dare you?
I had to think where I was gonna go to the premiere
on Friday night, but, I don't know if I should talk about this. So I talked about fingers up my butt
No, my thing a friend of mine had an emergency where a sewer pipe broke in their house and that was gross
That's not fun. That's not fun. So I had to help with that. Oh, I just read it as a pipe burst. No, it was a sewer
But never mind. I read I don't blame you for that being there. Thank you for it was a sewer. Never mind. I read it. I don't blame you for not being there. It was a great waterplay.
God.
So I was an emergency triage mode helping that person out.
But you saw the film.
I always am hesitant to get feedback on anything
because of course, when your friends are seeing stuff
that you're in, they're going to be like, you're a great.
Good job. Can't believe you memorized all those lines.
No one's going to be like, oh, you were okay.
Like no one's gonna do that to your face.
So it's always hard to know how it really was
and what people really thought.
So I'll have to wait till more people see it
and I read reviews.
Well, yeah, because it limited audience to see it.
It's very limited, yeah.
Well, I also, you know, yeah,
but you're in a unique position in that cast in particular
because the approach on Blood Fest was on laser team and we talked about this.
You weren't on the podcast and we talked about this, but laser team, the idea was 50% of
the cast, main cast, came from the Roochert Heath internal cast for lack of a better term.
The other 50% came from people we cast from Hollywood, Colton and Ali.
I mean, the man was was used three in Colton. So technically,
was the one. Well, the other main character, the main characters,
like Kirk was that had a part and right. Alan,
but like Alan Richson and Aludy Barry.
Aludy, yeah. And so that was the philosophy for that. And of course,
we maintain that going through to Lige team two. For Budfest, it was we cast for the primary cast, primarily
people from Hollywood.
And then you were the lone person, Nick Rutherford, who's been in some other stuff, was also
in the primary cast, I would say.
But you were the lone Rue Chuteyth person in the cast.
I do think that Adam L. is probably the next level of person who had been partnered.
Well, it's not going to come.
He's on the poster. I just said he's's not go. Okay. He's on the poster.
I know he's the trailer.
Yeah, he's on the trailer.
I know, but I know.
He's on the trailer on the poster.
But I think that Barb, I think that it's for you, there's going to be people who are
Rishi fans who see you as, they know you really well, you know, and they know you as Barb.
And so it's like, you're going to need to look, you're going to need to leave look a layer
deeper at people who aren't familiar with the Rishi G
that all when they start seeing the baby.
Well, I think it's hard and I understand
this mentality of, especially people who are fans
who have been watching Rishi for a long time,
especially people who watch the podcast are always open,
who know us so well as us.
So it's hard to separate us as who they know us as
are real selves
versus a character we're trying to play.
It's quite the balancing act.
Yeah.
I read, so we talked about this,
like you said with laser team
and of course with blood fest as well.
And I read a review that had a line
that kind of addresses this,
but I felt like they got the sentiment wrong.
Yeah, oh, I think I know what you're talking about.
Yeah.
However, for those who don't know
who supporting actress
Barbara Dunkelman is, or why it's funny that a group of gamers
are stuck in a room blah, blah, blah, blah, you might get lost.
Yeah, it's like, we were in the old projectings
that art in the movie.
But you don't need any background to have understood.
Well, there's no, I think the only reference to me being me
is there's a time in the movie very early on
where my character gets a phone
call and Yang's song from Ruby is playing.
There's literally no contextual value to your character that involves anything you've done
at RooStyle.
Exactly.
And that's just a kind of like a nod.
It's like a reward for people who get it, but we don't stop the moving up.
What's that song?
It's a ringtone on someone's phone.
Right, right.
No, but it is weird when people do
you project this kind of thing.
And then they say, well, I liked it,
but people who don't know who Y. Barbers in it
will wonder why Barbers in it.
No, they won't.
They really won't ever wonder that.
They'll just see actress who's in the movie, you know?
Cause they don't have the context of
part of it inside of Rischth.
Saw a quiet place starting, John Kuzinsky. And if you haven't like inside of her jeez. Saw a quiet place starting John Kuzinsky,
and if you haven't seen the office,
you won't enjoy a quiet place at all.
It's really the layers.
Why is Jim, what happened to Pam?
Let's see, you don't get that.
If you don't watch the office before seeing a quiet place.
You know what happened?
Pam talked.
That's what she said.
Scott, she got killed by the monsters.
Is it, is it monsters?
It's in the second trailer, it looks like monsters.
We should, it's a creature, it's in the trailer.
Oh yeah, this is good.
Oh, movie is very good.
I'm very excited to see when it comes out in theaters now.
Yeah.
Have you guys seen the trailer for this movie
called Hereditary?
No.
Yeah.
Something like that.
I have never seen a trailer for a movie
that I did not want to see more than that.
It, it looks so fucked up and dark to a point where I feel like I would feel
queasy if I saw that movie.
I really seen multiple movies like that, like a cure for wellness, had a pretty
creepy trailer that I was like, no, no, if I want to watch this.
I can't, I just can't.
It makes me like my insides turn.
Yeah.
Did you see the trailer for it?
No, I don't think so.
It doesn't.
Raw was another one.
Oh, it's like the pseudo-chemical-jaxing one.
It's like the French-canonistic one.
It's like the French film, right?
Yeah.
And the trailer was so unnerving.
I was like, yeah, I'm gonna almost skip on this one.
Everyone kept raving about the movie as like a total like art house like Fave.
But I'm like, nope.
Also, mother, I think had a trailer like that too.
Mother turned me off and then I watched the movie and I was like, wow, the trailer sells
the movie terribly.
I like the movie.
A lot of people hate mother. It's very polarizing. Yeah, very polarizing. But the trailer sells the movie terribly. I like the movie. A lot of people hate it, mother. Very polarizing.
Very polarizing.
But the trailer sells it terribly.
There's another movie I saw recently
where the trailer completely misrepresented the movie.
Black Panther?
Yes, that was it.
You know what you're getting with that.
Nailies, maybe.
No.
Black Panther cost a billion dollars for a while.
A quiet place this trailer sold me on the movie.
Dude, I saw the exact same reaction Barbara did to
hereditary where I saw the first trailer
for Quiet Place.
I was like, I'm absolutely on board with this movie
and I don't wanna see anything else in regards to it.
And I was kind of upset with myself
for watching the second trailer.
Yeah, I don't watch second trailers
if I'm sold on the first.
Yeah, right?
It's like, yeah, it's marketing.
So even stop the first trailer
if about 30 seconds in or a minute in, I'm sold.
I go, nope, don't see anymore.
Yeah, but if like at the 31 second market,
it's like all the shit you hate.
Like that's when it all comes up.
But I just like going to some movies.
Yeah, so if I'm sold enough to go see it,
I go see it.
I hate when trailers, some really spoil movies.
And no one's really talked about it.
The trailer for Thor Ragnarok
gives away like they show some of the biggest moments
in that movie in the trailer.
Trains, thirds of the plot. Yeah. movie in the Traylor. Traylor's at the plot.
Yeah.
Don't you don't watch trailers though?
Whatever.
I watch the first teaser or the very first trailer
and if it's a movie I'm sold on, I'll go see it
but I don't go see any of it.
If it's a good, you bring headphones, man.
I do, actually, if I've just recently upgraded
to bring you up on theaters.
What's this?
Okay, so I used to when I go into movie theaters,
if I've already seen a trailer or if it's a movie
that I know I'm gonna see, you will turn over
and you will see me with my hands and my ears.
I'll literally be like this.
And I'll be like this.
And I'll just be like, I'll actually be pushing
my fingers in and out to actually make
there's a difference in sound.
And that's how I don't see anything in the trailer.
Now I have headphones and I put in my ears
and I'm just like this during the trailer,
it's just like waiting for the movie to start. You play music or something. Okay. Just playing music
The first time I ever was at a movie with you, what you're doing. I was like, are you okay?
I look cool. It's wrong. His arms are folded and you like, I'm like this. I'm just like this.
I'm just like this. That's too much. I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I are some that I do want to watch though, but especially if a Marvel film or like a big old
blockbuster that I know that I've already got my
decision about it, I don't want to see,
because those blockbuster movies give way so much
in the trailers now.
Like I thought like in Black Panther,
there was a moment in the trailer I wish they hadn't shown,
which was in the trailer they show,
we like kill longer also has the suit on.
And like they then they start fighting.
And so that's every fucking Marvel movie.
Well, like, that would have been really cool
to see like in the movie, like, not knowing
and then he like activates it.
And then it's like, oh, two black pants are fighting each other.
Like, it's like, oh, you just kind of showed it.
I speak to which, did you see that tweet about
that girl who broke her retainer
while watching Black Panther?
And then he'll be Jordan Botter and you'll be Jordan.
I'm sure he's a gift to this world, man.
So I guess like, or the Donnis has a Tumblr page and he wrote first of all
Let's talk about that and orthodontist has a grown man with a professional career have a
33 and I have a Tumblr page
The orthodontist wrote a post.
Six years of that he had.
That school for that?
He had a 17 year old patient
who came in because she snapped the middle in her retainer
because she became so excited
when Michael B. Jordan took his shirt off in Black Panther.
Bit through.
And then, and then the girl tweeted a screenshot
of that, coming up post like,
oh my god, that's my orthodontist. I'm the girl he's talking about. tumblr post like oh my god. That's my worth of Don is
I'm the girl he's talking about so Michael be Jordan, you know tweeted like oh, hey, let me know. I'll pay for your new routine
That is the cutest fucking
Look at that boy. Oh
My god, look at that big old boy
Perfect human specimen in that movie Jesus Christ
Ridiculous. He was so good and I don't They'll be a little pox on his skin like between here
I know it's the characteristic but like Chadwick and the guy who played in Baku. It's just too many giant thick boys in that I can't handle it
It's too seas. Yeah, that's what I mean and Baku is thick daddy. That's what he is, okay?
Yeah Okay. Yeah, I'm trying to read the actual quote,
but he said he was laughing.
You were there was like,
I think he was so thirsty.
So thirsty,
that she broke a retainer.
It's just so funny.
Girl, I feel you.
But now he follows,
yeah, now he follows her on Twitter
and is buying her a new retainer,
paying for her new retainer.
All over the US,
kids are now breaking retainers
going to see these movies.
Punching their mouths.
This is really fucking funny
I love I love the internet for stuff like that, you know, it's just such a crazy story and now
She's got you know, he's buying her a tanner. Yeah, he's got enough money. That's awesome. No, this is super cool. How much are retainers?
It's funny. Very
Fakenish store
150 200. I had no idea
The retainer. Yeah, but like
I don't know when I was a kid. That was a long time ago that a retainer I think it was like 150 right? So it's probably 300 bucks for a 10 or maybe 400
Let us know you see that's like, oh, they're different. They're different. They're more like
JD's got a retainer that's more like an invisible line tray
But he hasn't lost his so we have no debate or replace it
So I don't really know what it cost was part of the treatment to get a retainer. I wish in my life
If you ever get braces
and they offered to put the permanent retainer in, do it.
It's, you don't wanna keep up with that shit.
I still have it in.
You still have your permanent retainer in?
I will forever.
Yeah, my teeth have moved.
They're still fine but they've moved.
Yeah, mine moved too.
Did you finish with your...
I did and I got a series of refinement trays
so they're fixing some of my teeth still.
Did you feel I was worth it?
No, really?
No, I wouldn't recommend it.
Interesting.
Yeah, I'm big about that.
It's like, if you do, a lot of times people will do stuff
and because they've done it,
they feel like they have to recommend it.
I just was, no, it wasn't worth a year of my time.
I had wearing those fucking trays
to not have it be perfect when it was done.
I had braces for six years.
Did you?
I got them at the beginning of junior high,
did not take them out until my mom begged.
My orthodontist take them out for my senior photos
at the end of the year.
You got great teeth.
Thank you.
Six years for it.
But six years for it.
So what were your teeth like before?
They were pretty messed up.
And because of my development story,
just always being terrible,
I even had some baby teeth still in
when I went into junior high.
That they had to remove,
and then the teeth still wouldn't come down.
So they had to attach braces to pull the teeth down.
Oh, I didn't know you could do that.
That's a thing.
So yeah, so now only did I look like a nine year old
in high school because I didn't go through puberty.
I also had braces all of junior high and high school.
I had braces.
I had the shortest amount of time,
I think I've ever known anyone to have braces. I had braces all of junior high and high school. I had braces. I had the shortest amount of time I think I've ever known
anyone to have braces.
I had braces like 14 months.
Patrick, how long do you have yours?
Is Patrick here?
I had mine for 11 months.
Oh, I got 11 months.
11 months, maybe.
What's the long at all?
Like in fact, oh, but you had him,
when you were a adult, right?
Yeah, he had him recently.
Like they told me when I did the Invisalign stuff,
they said, well, we can give you braces and braces you know get like the actual metal braces
It'll take six or seven months to do it or you can just do it
We're no one notice that you have them and it'll take a year take 12 months
I was like well, yeah, I'll do the 12 months instead of having braces for six months because I didn't know of like getting cast and something
On camera stuff right exactly right. Yeah, and it's like now looking back
Yeah, we should have done the fucking middle brace for seven. Yeah, we also never know like looking back

So according to John Oak here on Twitter,
in Ohio, it's about $300 for a retainer.
Okay.
$300.
That's a bit right.
Yeah. And then, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Yeah. And then no, no small investment by Mr. Jordan.
Aliebert 27 says between $200, $300. So it seems about somewhere in that range. It's
usually one of the funniest stories I've ever heard. It's so funny. I wish I could be in that
theater when that happened just to hear the sound. Sure off king. Wow, I'm like, wow, that sounds like it was right in the room with me.
I broke my machine.
Oh my god, it was so fucking fun.
I'm like, you were married, you know.
You'd have to go through and explain it, or even explain it to the orthodontist, you know.
Yeah.
I mean, he's a cool orthodontist, clearly.
He's got a fucking toddler.
He's sat through another hour of the movie, the broken retainer.
Why would he?
I mean, what do you need?
I'm saying that's like, because he takes his shirt off at best halfway of the movie, the broken retainer. Why would she? What do you mean? Let's say that's like,
because he takes his shirt off at best halfway through the movie.
And so she had a whole another half the movie
that she just sat there.
The movie, such a fucking
still number one, four weeks in the,
four weekends at the box office.
It's a great, this is the crazy thing.
Who owns number two?
I know, Disney.
Disney, yeah, yeah.
It's wrinkle and tight. So right now, Disney has number one and number two
at the box office.
I was just telling you last night that I ran article
a while back that last year, 2017, Disney owned 26%
of the market share of movies, of box office sales
of 2017.
And that's before they bought Fox and all of those entities.
That's fucking crazy. How are they allowed to do that?
No, no, just keep buying shit.
It's crazy. Well, like time, time, time Warner and AT&T, that mergers was going before Congress now, right?
We're going to court officially going to court. Are they okay? Is that just AT&T that can't buy stuff?
Is that what the deal? Was that what's going on? That should be clear too, also.
But kids with we are invested in by AT&T, You know, so it's one of those disclosure things.
I should absolutely say that.
But no, I'm just wondering.
It's like AT&T with your divestiture in 1982
where they broke the company apart.
I don't think they've ever done that
to any other company as far as I know, before or since.
Do you remember when they, when it was yelling at Microsoft
for having the monopoly on the market and everything like that?
Did anything ever happen?
For what?
There was a while when Microsoft was being
a close of having a monopoly.
You know happened, Apple got huge.
And so that was,
I think what, so what happened there
was a core technology that was changed.
So what Microsoft was doing at the time,
I don't know if you remember this was,
Explorer for you to browse your files
in your desktop was Internet Explorer.
So there was not only a web browser,
but it was how you browse your local files.
So then they ended up breaking it to two separate things,
where it's internet explorer and explorer for your files.
And also, I think internet explorer was not,
like put on the desktop by default or something.
Which is funny, because now when I use Chrome,
primarily for my browser,
and I just type what I want to Google search
in the address bar.
So it's like all integrated into one thing.
I love the thing that the only thing anybody ever
uses Internet Explorer for is to find the install button
for Chrome.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's like the only thing that it's ever
typed in to explore for me is download Chrome.
Yeah, but there is though,
whenever we talk about this,
there'll be people saying,
stop fucking using Chrome.
Apparently now browsers go back and forth.
What's wrong with Chrome now?
Actually, I memory bloat and everything else.
Yes, it's just so good.
I looked up just out of curiosity, because I was having some weird issues with my computer,
like with my browser, and I was like, is there, because I was having like a weird issue
with streaming something.
I was like, is there a better browser to stream?
I think it was even Netflix, and I looked up, and I found an article that said the best
browser to stream Netflix through was here in an explorer
Yeah, you can get higher resolution and better or edge. Yeah, yeah, definitely was Microsoft edge. Yeah, I was like really
And compared to all this
No, so far is all right for a streaming I say my I was like all right
But it was like for some reason edge as the best. Yeah, interesting. I'm weird like I used to far
I on my phone, but I hate it on a desktop.
I used it on my laptop because I recently got any laptop like within the last six months or so. Yeah.
And I just never changed the default. I never download another web browser. I was just lazy. So I'm
just using Safari on it. I don't. I don't know. It's not a fucking different. So according to Netflix,
if you're streaming content in your browser, Google Chrome supports up to 720p.
Yeah, that's what it was.
Internet Explorer, 1080, Microsoft Edge, 1080,
oh, this is already from 2016.
Let me find something more amazing.
Okay.
They're gonna break up Netflix.
That's who they should break up.
Yeah, that's big.
I have an awful lot.
Too much.
Too much, too much.
Yeah, you get enough.
Stop it.
There's nothing to do with being a competitor.
But yeah, that should be broken up.
Okay.
So according to the Netflix help page,
Google Chrome is 720p on Windows Mac at Linux, 1080p on Chrome OS,
Internet Explorer is 1080p, Microsoft Edge is up to 4K,
Firefox is up to 720p, Opera is up to 720p,
Opera.
Safari is up to 1080p on Mac OS 1010.
204 is the word.
That's a word.
But, whoo, opera!
Yeah, servers just started booting up because someone said I don't know this. Yeah's the word. That's the word. But yeah.
Yeah, servers just started booting up because someone said I don't know.
Yeah, so Edge is the only one I can do for.
I don't know what I'm gonna do for.
I'm talking about Chrome.
It's one of my favorite things about having, so I have an Android phone.
I have a pixel and that whenever you're on your iPhone, even if you use Chrome on your
iPhone, if you have like Siri look up anything or anything like that, she pulls up Safari.
Yeah. So I love that. She pulls up Safari. Yeah.
So I love that.
It's the Chrome is gonna integrate into the entire everything.
Like even when I ask it to look up something like using
okay.
Well, it's a Google phone.
I know.
I'm saying I like it.
It's a Google browser.
Bernie, can I like my phone?
I mean, it's surprisingly the Apple browser.
We don't talk about liking the Apple browser.
It's the Apple browser.
Yeah, the same thing.
He just like, on this house, we talk about hating funds.
That's what we do.
In his house.
Yeah. We're all iPhone users and we're all miserable.
Me.
That was going to ask how you like it.
I love.
We're an iPhone.
Yeah.
I swapped my phone was was just breaking my old iPhone right before I was about
to go on a trip to London.
And so I made the switch and I've been using a pixel to since December.
I love it.
I'm constantly amazed.
I got I'm constantly amazed. I was even started talking to you.
And you borrowers pick it up. That's good teamwork. I started talking.
I was waiting for you. Yeah. The camera went away.
I'm enjoying it. Do I have a book?
I don't care. I just have to be honest. Just always tell me if I have a booker.
Just please do me a favor.
I wait for the camera search and then then one of these.
I have that book. I don't care. I have no shame about that.
Everyone has bookers. I appreciate that.
I just want to say. Thank you for your hand. I appreciate that. I appreciate that. You're so funny. You're so funny. I'm just gonna say.
You're just talking about something. You started and then the booker thrilled.
Oh, I'm always amazed that when I get in a car, I'm doing a lot of ride sharing this weekend.
So a lot of people who drive professionally tend to have newer cars.
I'm constantly amazed that cars that are still coming out in 2018
have their own proprietary GPS system. Oh God.
It seems like that's such a pain in the ass
and they're never as good as Google Maps,
just fucking use Google Maps.
Yeah.
It must be a licensing thing, but holy God.
Well, there's also like a,
especially in recent years,
people like,
law is trying to get people to stop using their phone
and their car.
So maybe they feel like if you put in the GPS.
But if you haven't mounted,
but yeah, if you haven't mounted, it's fine, yeah.
And that's what I see most right now.
They're offering you Kleenex if you want it, John.
I think you can.
I think you can.
You're fine.
So yeah, when I took a unright share yesterday.
I'm good.
Thank you so much.
Appreciate it.
Stop doing coke.
I took a right share yesterday after meeting with Sadiq Khan.
And I got into the ride and the guy starts driving.
And he goes, oh, I remember you.
I gave you a ride before. Oh, and I looked at him again, I was like,
oh, right, here's the guy who gave me a ride to
the Gus' birthday party for a live week.
Oh, yeah. I was like, oh, right, I remember you.
He goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, you live over that place.
It's bound to happen.
Yeah, I was like, he probably sees so many people.
How does he remember me specifically?
You're very distinct looking human.
You're saying ugly?
No. Jordan Carlson pointed out that the US also broke up standard oil in 1911.
There you go.
Oh.
That's another case for it.
I was also going to mention, I don't know if you noticed this in our Uber today when
you were taking the car downtown.
The driver was texting.
No.
I couldn't see that.
Yeah.
There was like, he stopped at one point, but I was going to leave over it be like, hey,
not to be rude or anything, but you're not so lethal.
Report that shit.
Get your report in app.
Did I, did you say that?
I miss him when you said that.
No, I didn't say it, because he stopped.
Oh, God.
I was about to say something, he had stopped,
but he was doing it for like quite a bit.
Yeah, no, you should absolutely say something.
Did I?
Yeah.
Did I ever tell you about my deaf Uber driver
that I had from the airport one time?
I didn't hear about that.
I, sorry.
Go ahead. I'm over for a brilliant process when he just said,
no, I landed at the airport and so I was getting
a Uber home and when I got matched with my driver,
they texted me immediately and said they were on my way,
they'd be there soon and I don't only get a text
from the drivers, I thought that was odd,
but he showed up and he got out and that's when when I, when he introduced himself,
I found out he was deaf and I was like, okay, that's interesting.
And got in the car, that was fine,
until he pulled out a giant iPad that he started typing into
to talk to me about like, hey, we're gonna get ready to go,
we'll be there in 15 minutes.
I was like, thanks.
And then, that's all the information you need, by the way,
that brought that right, that we started driving
and about and driving out of the airport,
he pulls this giant iPad up again in front of himself
and starts typing into it while he's driving
to tell me another message of like,
I think that was when he was gonna give me an ETA of us
and he's like, gave it to me.
And I was like, okay, please stop doing that.
I would have been like, no more.
Yeah.
Please watch the videos. He was trying to be courteous and the same for me, you can't understand that, but he was. I would have been like, no more. Yeah. Please watch the videos.
He was trying to be courteous
and you sent me a cable standout
but he was doing it away that was like making me
unnerving about driving.
And he never starts typing anything
while they're driving and dangerous.
Uh, Riot one time told me when she's driving with me
that anytime she finally like told me,
it's like she turned me at one point.
She's like, John, I love you very much.
But if you don't keep both hands on the steering wheel,
you give me anxiety attacks every single time we're driving.
Cause I drive with one hand and that kind of thing,
or like even like one hand,
you ever like switch to like a leg for just a second
to like adjust something and then go back.
I've done that and that was,
and apparently that like worried her to know in,
cause she doesn't drive very much.
Yeah.
And so I so whenever I'm with her,
I have to have both hands.
That's nice that you're doing that for her.
We got to give my girlfriend an anxiety,
like panic attack on the car.
I always do this thing where if someone's driving me
and they're on their phone or doing something,
I always go,
John, I mean, look, John, I mean, look,
something up for you.
You want me to help you out there?
Right.
Whenever they go, no, it's okay.
And they keep doing it.
I go, stop using your phone while you're driving me, please.
Please, yeah. It's like it's one thing if you're doing it by yourself, which stop using your phone while you're driving me, please. Please, yeah.
It's like it's one thing if you're doing it by yourself,
which you shouldn't be doing anyways,
but like my life is now in danger
because you can stop texting someone.
There's a, when I was in New Zealand last month,
they have television ads,
like discouraging people from doing that.
And I think they had a really, really great premise
for the ad where like the driver puts down their phone,
like in the center console,
and anytime the passenger sees up the driver's eyeing it
and gonna reach for it,
the passenger puts their hand out over the phone.
So the driver holds their hand.
So it's like just turning that situation
to this awkward moment and you're still
like keeping them from using the phone.
Yeah.
That's a really great approach to take.
It's a problem.
I mean, it's a phone is way more distracting
than anything else it's ever been in the car before.
I mean, there were some people I've seen
going on the rubber, they have TVs installed in the car.
That's fucking lunacy in my opinion.
I'm not talking in the back seat,
I'm talking in the front seat.
That's nuts.
The guy who wrecked his Tesla in autonomous mode
and died, which everyone was using as things
are old, these things are dangerous, see?
I think it wasn't even watching like something on a tablet.
I could see something, yeah.
Yeah, and that's crazy.
And it didn't stop in time or something or he didn't.
I mean, even if you're not concerned about safety,
it's very illegal and they can track
when your phone can give you up pretty easily.
Yeah, they were doing this at this time,
which is kind of scary to begin with,
but the world we live in now.
So before we get too far away from Microsoft stuff,
I read this great story that for some reason,
I don't remember this from internet lore,
and it was a guy in 2002 who was trying to check his hotmail
on Christmas Eve, and he couldn't check his hotmail account
because he got errors for the domain hot mail
or it was maybe one of the, maybe one of the passport.
There's subsidiary ones.
And he couldn't get it.
And then he looked it up and Microsoft had let the domain
laps and hadn't paid the bill on it.
And so normally the way you think that's really
when it and was he bought the domain,
but no, he just busted out his credit card
and paid Microsoft's bill for them so that he could check his email and then posted about it that he paid Microsoft's
bill so the domain would be reactivated.
To me, that's like one of the funniest stories ever.
Like this good Samaritan goes out and like pays like 18 bucks for the next year.
Yeah, I got this one for you, Microsoft.
Don't worry about it.
The story would be that Microsoft heard that he did that for them or whatever the company did
and then like rewarded him.
Yeah, they did something better.
I did something.
I don't remember what it was,
but I remember that they did.
Yeah, they gave him something as a result of it.
They gave Microsoft Edge for free.
Yeah.
Even Windows phone.
Yeah, Windows phone.
Actually, when I first met her,
she was using a Windows phone.
She actually liked the Windows.
I don't think I've ever met. One time I saw someone, she worked for Microsoft. Yeah,
I was going to say I was up at the domain and someone recognized me, like, oh, can we take a photo?
I was like, sure, I take a photo with them. They bust out a Windows phone. They take a photo.
And I go, hey, Windows phone, huh? I've never seen anyone using one of those. I wasn't a
Microsoft employee. Anyway, yeah, I worked for Microsoft. Is that okay, that makes sense.
The only people who have them.
Naturally.
Do you guys have the 10 at all?
I do, yeah.
I've found 10.
Yeah, I love it.
Is it good?
I love it.
It's great.
It's saved, I was ready to, I was ready to bolt.
I was ready to bolt.
Although I think Gavin's gonna move over.
He's, he's, he's, he's got a toe in the water.
He's gay dyes, he's testing it.
He's got a toe in the water.
I have another friend who did that too.
Dispreciations probably would be.
If you message him he's green now. I'm green.
Well, yeah, that's why I don't message you. I remember I thought that you just like didn't I'm on other reasons?
Be fair. Be fair about it. Sorry John. So I do want to hear I message you all the time John. I message you more than you message me.
I'll play a shit. I'll play this game. There's an easy way to prove that three conversations we had. Let's see who initiated.
Oh, so this is key. No, so you start the last three then. I don't know that.
There's no way. I just like to be conversation. I don't know that. I literally have the last
text that I sent you was me texting you about Ready Player One and you didn't reply. That
was Sunday. Hey, John, I'd love to hear about Ready Player One. Oh, okay. Yeah.
Actually, where's Ashley?
Is she around?
Let me text her.
Are you over there, Ashley?
I see someone walk through the chat.
That's not Ashley.
Did you guys do the no podcast about it?
No, we did not.
Okay, I'll grab you.
You can start talking, John.
So, ladies, is there any disclosure?
Like, we weren't paid or anything.
Like, you just went to a party or something.
Like, how did you end up watching it?
Went to the, they did the premiere.
It's outspoken.
Oh, so it was like, I thought it was like a secret one.
Well, it was, they had a TBA movie on the South By schedule
that did not get released of what it was until Saturday
and they announced it was ready for the one for you.
Oh, so it was a surprise.
Yeah, it was a surprise.
And yeah, like.
I saw that he saw Spielberg.
Spielberg was in the room.
That was so cool.
Like that's one of my like all-time heroes and he was like maybe 20 feet from me I saw that he saw Spielberg. Spielberg was in the room. That's so cool.
That's one of my all-time heroes.
And he was like maybe 20 feet for me
and he was talking about his movie.
And it was like, how long was it?
Do you remember?
Two hours to get in.
There's two hours to get in, which added a significant amount.
And you only complained about the line, maybe six times in the line.
Listen, I had listened. I was actually needed to understand
that I was actually needed.
Actually needed huge sacrifice.
A huge herb you had.
Oh my God, I was made.
Ready player one is two hours and 20 minutes long.
Two hours and 20 minutes, doesn't feel like two hours and 20 minutes.
You totally just not.
We even had a technical problem during the movie.
Yeah, but that was actually one of the best things.
It was.
It actually made the experience, I think, special in a way,
because there's a point at the end of the movie
and the big climactic ending that any movie like this
would have that a big moment happens.
And when that moment happened, the audio cutout.
But it was a moment in a movie that sometimes,
they cut out audio to make a dramatic,
actually in the edit.
And so that lasted for about two seconds
for everyone was like in awe of this quiet moment.
Wow, look at this.
But then the camera shifted to something that looked like
there should be audio.
And then it shifted to a shot of Lulia Boombox
that was supposed to be playing music.
And we're all like, oh.
And so it finally went to like one more cut
to another's camera and then it paused.
And so they clearly had a technical problem.
They came out, they said,
we're trying to figure this out, bear with us.
Like a minute goes by, they rewind it,
play the exact same scene again,
moment happens, audio cuts out again.
And we're all like, oh my gosh.
That's an exact moment.
Same exact moment.
They paused again.
It was like a sound cue.
And like the speaker system couldn't handle
that sound cue.
Yeah, very clearly a sound cue.
And at that point, like some of us do like,
we're thinking like, is it like a problem
like the export or something?
Like if that's what it is,
because it happened the exact same spot.
So then like a couple more minutes went by,
they rewinded again.
At this point, it was the third time
I was watching this scene,
everyone in the audience is already pumped
because the movie is a pretty good pump up movie.
Well, the audience was an amazing audience.
It was very fun.
I'm not sure everyone there was very much.
There was a fanboy audience. It was very a fan. I'm not sure everyone there was fair. There was a fan boy audience. It
definitely was. And so that, you know, we're watching like the 20 seconds we've
seen three times now happen. And then the moment occurs and we hear sound. And
the audience just goes, I mean, it was also was really well timed because it
literally is the start of a big battle at the end.
And there's like, you know, there's crazy things happening to everyone just screaming
over the smoke in the screen.
So it was like a fun experience.
And it was such a fun audience.
The second time it happened and that this moment comes, the sound cue happens and cuts
out the audio.
Then it goes silent.
We saw like the next three or four shots.
And it was like, you know, at the first one, I was like, well, when they realized they
stopped the movie, stopped the movie.
You hear people saying that.
The second time through,
because there's this battle thing that John's talking about,
the audience was going like,
Pupu, pupu!
Pupu!
I think that was the best.
I'm making these sound effects.
It was pretty fucking funny.
It was pretty good.
It was a very good audience.
Because they had the whole cast there too,
so I thought you were gonna say like the cast came out
on microphone just like recreating.
No, no, no.
Yeah, I've listened.
I have been at many screenings where we were showing something
for the first fucking time and there's a technical problem.
The first movie I ever made when we had our first ever screening
of it, it took them 40 minutes to figure out how to play
the thing and just kept quitting on.
And they were like, they, and it was a sound thing too.
And they said, well, we're just gonna send everybody home
and I remember Matt was like, we were in college,
it's like 20 years ago.
And I was like, people came from like out of state
for this one screening, like family and stuff like that.
It's like, no, you're gonna get this, you're gonna fix this.
And it's like, oh, after 40 minutes, like,
oh, this cable was normal, quit.
Not was it, so.
But it is mortifying.
When that happens, absolutely mortifying.
Was it the dopey?
Was fucking dopey, fucking dopey. Delaby theater, piece of shit. Rest in peace. but it's it is mortifying. Was that absolutely mortified? Was it the Dobie? Was it fucking Dobie?
Fucking Dobie.
Dobie, heater, piece of shit.
Rest in peace.
They gone, they're gone now.
Oh, they've been gone for a long time.
But I think the last movie I saw there
might have been like, Omelie or something.
No, really?
I did not have to sit behind the pillar.
Do you think it's the word in the fucking bad word?
There were no technical issues for the blood fest screening,
but I think they cut it early during the credits, which is
Unfortunate because a lot of people at the premiere screening were people who worked on the movie who
That was because there was a delay. I think it's because it was going so late that they they wanted to get the Q&A
But it was still like oh man like that sucks like all that kind of a festival thing that happens with Q&A and stuff like that
Yeah, it's also kind of a thing I learned this when Matt worked in LA in Hollywood.
He was on visual effects movies
and he was like on this, like a, like a,
so a vessel on movie, he worked,
it was one of the movies he worked on.
And then I saw on the news,
hey, the premiere for the,
so a vessel on movies tonight,
and so a vessel on is gonna be there
and this person's gonna be there.
And I was like, I call Matt and I was like,
cool, you're gonna, you're gonna movie premiere tonight.
That's bad ass, he goes, I'm not gonna movie premiere.
I think of the, I don't get invited to was like, Cool, you're going to a movie premiere tonight. That's bad ass. He goes, I'm not going to a movie premiere.
I think I don't get invited to that.
I go, but she worked on the movie.
Like, one of the lead visual effects people in this movie
is like, that's not the way that works
because they're not at all.
We had a cast in cruise screening.
And it's like, it makes sense now that I know
how many people worked on a movie that that's the case.
But that sucks.
You know what I mean?
It's like, that there's a premiere
and not everybody gets to go to it
that worked on the fucking thing.
That's crazy, but it's just a limited seating thing. Yeah, I mean, the Paramount's a pretty big theater, but if everybody
worked on the movie was there for like a movie like Ready Player One, we wouldn't know what else we're gonna see. No one else could see.
If we were for blood fest, I would have shown up and we're like, no, you can't come in. Yeah, sorry.
Did you watch outside? Let me look up go to the Paramount so you can.
Yeah, that's not people who get cuffed in the movie find out.
They're not in there.
Oh, no, you're watching it.
Could you imagine what if you were watching the movie and like didn't
see your scenes and that's how you found it, you got cut.
Would you have been more pissed or less pissed?
Probably more.
I appreciate knowing ahead of time.
Yeah, yeah.
I think I got cut out of that James Trankham movie.
We shot for like two days.
Wait up, but weren't you still in it
like just no speaking lines?
Super, super brief.
Like like a shot or two shots.
Yeah, yeah.
But it was like, I was surprised at how much that movie,
even when we made it, like the two days I was on set
was they shot with some actors.
Like there's just twins that were next to it.
And I was this thing where they were sitting next to me on the couch and they were going out of head all those banter
and they were fucking hilarious.
And I thought, oh, these are like major characters in the movie because I didn't have the whole
script.
I just had the days we were there.
And then I watched the movie and it's like, they're literally only in that scene as
well.
And as much cool, funny stuff as they did, probably a 20th of it made it into the movie.
It was crazy.
Just the way it works.
Some people shoot like that.
They just shoot like tons and tons of stuff. And then just find out what the movie. It was crazy. It was just the way it works. Such shame. Some people shoot like that.
They just shoot tons and tons of stuff
and then just find out what the movie is in the editing bay.
It was watching, went to the director and the Jedi documentary
today this morning.
It was the...
Brian Johnson?
Directed as Dr.
Camarriol in the last Jedi with Brian Johnson, his thing.
You know, I didn't know that was a thing, by the way.
Yeah, they premiered that.
It's, I think it's going to be on the DVD as well, but is that premiered second, I think? It's You know, I didn't know that was a thing, by the way. Yeah, they premiered that. It's, I think it's gonna be on the DVD as well,
when did that premiered, I can't think.
It's coming soon, I think.
Yeah, it's very soon.
But they gave out a lot of information in the doc.
That movie shot for 120 plus days.
Fuck.
And had like a hundred and 20, 140 sets
that they made for it.
Like the scale, like that's a big part of the documentary
is showing the scale of that movie
and it's pretty awesome to watch.
I think even if you were a fan of the last Jedi,
which there's a lot of people who are not fans of the last Jedi,
you still enjoy the doc and the way they talk about the process.
It's pretty good like film process, doc.
And then also like they give a lot of moments for you
to, you know, hear from people like Carrie Fisher
and Adam Driver and all these main actors,
and everybody that worked on the project.
Mark Campbell is a big part of it.
Ryan Johnson and Mark Campbell were there this morning
at the doc premiere.
What are these the most disliked Star Wars
who have recessed those dreams?
Episode one.
Is episode one?
I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm pretty, or last year. I Episode one. Is episode one? Jedi was so pretty or last year.
I guess yeah, episode one because of the expectations.
You mean, dislike now or dislike when it came out?
What's your gut reaction to that question?
I would say episode one.
Yeah, I think either one or two.
But yeah, the interesting thing is that people have a strong
reaction to one, but then when you mentioned two attack
of the clones to people, they're just like, yeah, I mean, it's because they removed a lot of
jar jar.
Yeah.
It's like jar jar is just so fucking grating on you.
And then I think they realized how bad they had fucked it up and they couldn't get rid
of him so that like they try to mitigate that.
He's still left with a movie you don't like, but it's not like aggressively in your face.
My buddy Mikey Newman, who runs the YouTube channel,
film joy, he's been in a lot more curriculum-based
kind of videos for his video essays.
And he did one recently where he went through two-part video
where he went through and did research into how
every single Star Wars movie was received when it came out.
And so he did research into the reviews
that were released when it came out
and how the audience reacted.
And we went all the way back to new hope and all that
and went through every single movie all the way
to the last Jedi.
It was really interesting to contextualize
in the moment how people reacted to this.
Because we all have our opinions now
on the far end of last Jedi.
And so it was interesting to see
like when return of the Jedi came out,
what's the people in actual editorials say? Plus also my reaction is like, you know, when Return of the Jedi came out, you know, what's the people in actual
editorials say. Plus also my reaction is like, oh, I'm going to look it up on a
round of tomatoes and see what it is. But that's that's pretty traditional. Yeah, if a movie came out
before Ron Tomatoes existed, then your scores are going to be off. We mentioned about that with Twitter
as a people who were famous in the early 2000s. We were. Yeah, it's just like a timing thing. Like
if somebody had had their Twitter account,
then they'd have millions and millions of followers.
Because Twitter just didn't exist
and they started like eight years after that,
they have like way less than somebody who's,
I have as many as they would.
Yeah, way less than somebody.
Like I think about like the survivor cast
of the first season, they were this incredible phenomenon.
Right.
And it's like if Twitter had existed,
then they don't have millions of followers
even probably to this day,
because people don't tend to drop off that stuff.
You should look at the follower count
for people who are like on the bachelor.
Yeah.
It's absurd.
It is.
Yes.
Yeah, very high.
Yeah, like, Twitter and Instagram,
it's like, that's like,
people watch that show.
Oh, yeah.
A lot.
A lot of people watch the show.
You know what?
Gus will sometimes ask questions
that make me realize,
oh, that's right.
Gus is not an Instagram. Good for you, buddy.
He's not an Instagram.
He is now.
When did you get on Instagram?
A couple months ago.
What's G-Sarola?
G-Sarola, go follow him.
I didn't know that.
I got some, some, some,
Bitch and New Zealand pictures.
I would guess that Gus follows you.
No, I don't follow anyone.
You don't follow me.
I follow Esther and scrap you the dog.
You follow Strap you the dog. I love Strap you the dog. I love Strap you me. I follow Esther and scrap you the dog You fall. Oh, I love the dog. I love
Yeah, I'm a look. I fucking love scrappy the dog. Have you met scrappy in person? No, I tell him even better if I see that dog in person
I'm stealing your fucking dog Darcelle
Oh, keep that dog away from me. Hey guys, I will help you guys
I know you don't follow me. I'm following you now. Oh, thank you. I follow you guys. I follow Gus
I'm your newest follower. Oh, thank you. I follow you guys. I follow Gus. I'm your newest follower.
Oh, that's so nice.
Let's see you guys.
Wow, what a nice foot of knife.
I think you probably have more posts than I do now.
Nice foot of guys.
He has really great photos.
Actually, you have for your world curated Instagram account.
I knew I was thinking about it.
I need to take more.
I'm trying to post more there because Snapchat's
just such fucking pile pilot garbage now.
I can't bring myself to use it anymore.
So I need to get back onto Instagram to replace it.
I'm about to hear my one year anniversary in Instagram.
Did a pile?
I joined in 2017, exactly state of the art.
But because you don't follow anybody
that on Instagram, you don't see people's Instagram stories.
There's a surprising number of people
that work at this company that have based their lives
around watching the Bachelor.
I'm not gonna call anybody out of the bus like Sophie,
but there's a number of people here
that watch the Bachelor.
Did you watch SNL this week?
I know, I watched it because you were tweeting about it.
I watched some of the clips and that,
some of that stuff was fucking funny
This was one of the best episodes in a long time. Yeah, I don't watch this as I saw it
I was really wasn't familiar with Sterling K Brown
But he was fucking great and there was there were several skits where I had to pause it because I was laughing at something
I was great
I cannot remember the last time I watched something on network television and was like laughing out loud at it and having to pause it
It was yeah, there was some skits that were just fucking amazing
Do you want to talk a little bit more about Ready Player One?
Did you have Ashley?
He was also seen the movie.
Let's talk about the movie.
I want to hear some impressions.
Do you have any?
Are you cool?
Actually, this?
Are you actually cool?
Are you a personal impression?
You're a personal impression?
I do.
I have a personal impression.
What's up with you?
How you doing?
Hi.
You know, we're recording like a mini cast about Ready Player One
right after this, right?
Oh, you are.
We're doing it right after this.
Oh, yeah.
I don't want to steal your thunderbolt.
That's why I was asking you if you're cool with this, because we are doing that.
Well, you can tease that then.
Hey, we're doing a mini cast right after this.
Well, we're recording it and then I've got to edit it and put it out.
Here was something funny that happened about Ready Player 1 was that once I got out of
the movie, I generally enjoyed the movie.
It's definitely a movie that's geared towards a certain audience
and I'm part of that audience.
And I think it's genuinely got good things about it
and I have critiques that I had problems with certain,
plot problems that I have and use some character choices
that I thought were invalid in their choices.
Inbound what way, different from the book?
No, because the movie adaptation to the book
is just night and day, they had to adapt it heavily
for the movie and they got rid of a bunch of stuff
and changed it a lot.
They did.
But more so than that,
like actual characters in the movie
and their choices they made near the end
that I was like, I would have changed that.
But that's just my critiques.
I did write something on Twitter about how,
I could really recognize that this is gonna be a movie
that there are gonna be a lot of people who are complaining
about other people enjoying this movie.
And there's gonna be a specific reason
why they're complaining about those people.
And then literally,
I made you reply to that, by the way, he was like so predictive.
Oh, the person on Twitter who said to me,
I'm not even talking about that.
I read a review by someone at I-O-9,
who their entire review of Ready Player One
was them just complaining about the audience
at South by Southwest's reaction
to watching Ready Player One.
At no point did they critique any plot choices
or writing or production elements or anything like that?
They just complain about people enjoying it at the premiere.
Say, and they were critical of that.
Yeah, and they were mad about it.
And they really?
Yeah, and I was like, they're going.
That audience was super into it.
It's like Paramount seats what, 20s, 500 people, 2200s?
How many I think is 1600? Oh, is it? Yeah, it's a lot. It's a lotount seats what 20 500 people 2200 how many I think is 1600 is it?
Yeah, it's a lot at least 2000. It's a lot for a movie theater. Yeah, it's a lot and it's like got two decks and balconies and all that stuff
It's a really cool fucking theater
If you attended RTX it's where the bear naked lady show was where they came and perform there, right?
But yeah, I like a pt. It's 1270? Okay, let's still love a movie there.
So it's almost 1300.
Ashley, what did you think?
I thought the audience made the movie for me.
Yeah, I enjoyed it.
There is something about watching a movie with an audience
that is enjoying it and they're enjoying it,
like out loud, like sometimes cheering when things happen
because it just, it brings the whole mood up.
But watching it, I was surprised by some changes
from the source material. Something would happen, I was surprised by some changes from the source material.
Something would happen, I'd go,
oh, that's different.
But I was also like, but I get why?
Because this would have been really boring.
Yeah.
Like this, some of the material would have been
pretty boring on film and not take advantage of the,
like the over the top crazy things that they could do
with this virtual world. And so it makes sense that they could do with this this
virtual world and so it makes sense that they would change those things and so
I was thinking that throughout the movie but I was like this is gonna be polarizing. They're gonna be book purists who hate the fact that it was changed in any way even though Ernest Klein
worked on the screenplay. Yeah the adaptation of the screenplays first draft was by Ernie Klein and
his and then it worked on with the writer partners. Yeah, Zach Ben. And every book has to change a little bit to be adapted for this.
This is more than a little bit.
It's a lot.
This is like, it keeps a lot of the overall structure.
I would say this is not a plot spoiler, but in the book, there's three major quests that
they have to get through for this game.
Two of the three quests, they change completely.
Completely.
They change everything a little bit,
but they change two of them completely.
Yeah.
Yeah, there are things that are not in the books
that we already knew based on the trailer were in the movie.
There's not a giant racing scene.
There's not an iron giant.
There's a massive front and center in the trailers.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, that's true.
And we're obviously, we're doing everything we can
to avoid any kind of spoilers for the movie. What's up? Yeah, I was not only mentioning what was in the trailer. Yeah, it yeah, that's true. And we're obviously we're doing everything we can to avoid any kind of spoilers for the movie.
What's it? Yeah, I'm not only mentioning what was in the trailer.
Yeah, and it is though. It's I mean my opinion of it is people are going to come out of this.
They're going to say they're going to see people who like it and like all the references and everything.
And I think even some people on the internet are going to be especially critical about it.
And it's one of those things where it's like this is the culture that we've created for ourselves.
It's like mean culture of like,
hey, you know this, this is interesting.
You know, and people go all in on that
in some parts of our culture,
but then when they see a movie like this,
they will somehow hate it.
Like it'll feel like pandering, I'm sure, to some people.
You know, I, seeing it with this audience, I loved it.
I wish everybody could see that movie,
the opening night of a convention. Like opening like Comic-Con. You're like, that's like the perfect way to see it. I wish everybody could see that movie. The opening night of a convention like opening like Comic-Con. You like that's like the perfect way to see it
I think you probably will get to experience that a little bit especially if you catch it opening weekend when it premieres because
Opening weekend will have the major fanboys going to see it first off
Especially if you can go see opening night you'll probably get that experience best and I would I would advise that's probably gonna be right your ideal experience
So I have fun when you see it. That's my recommendation.
I've been looking forward to the movie. I was very mixed with the book. There were some things
that I really didn't like in the book. So I'm really curious to see how it plays out saying,
you're hearing that they've changed some stuff in that translation. Some curious to see if you can.
If that stuff I don't like has been changed. I would say they fixed some things and then kind of
broke a couple things in fixing
others.
And I will say this, the whole price of admission is worth it for a section that comes
midway through the movie.
Yes.
That if you get it, good lord, is it fucking brilliant?
I mean, it is just really just a ton of fun.
And hopefully by that point in the movie, you're like completely on board.
And then you also understand what they're doing in that scene.
Well, there's even like the, there's a point in the, this is in on board, and then you also understand what they're doing in that scene. Well, there's even like the,
there's a point in the,
this is in the trailer,
there's a race in the movie,
and there's a point in the race where I realized
they cut out music,
and it was all just fully in sound work,
and I loved it.
It was so visceral and like very,
like it made the race very kinetic, and like every sound hits you of what was happening. I loved it. It was so visceral and like very, like it made the race very kinetic
and every sound hits you of what was happening.
Love that.
So that was just a very fun sequence.
And by the way,
this is what the VR environment would be like.
I mean, it would be,
we see it in VR chat.
Everyone has these licensed avatars.
They just, this is what people do.
So it's actually a very realistic,
I think representation of that reality.
Yeah, it's avatars.
That's definitely what's in VR chat. Yeah, there's VR chat in the races. You notice that it's..., that's what's definitely in VR chat.
Yeah, there's VR chat in the races.
You notice that?
The first time I ever gotten a VR chat, I was transported to a Ruby Chibi room.
It was perfect.
This is really surreal.
Like, where am I?
We, a couple of us went to the So Ready Player One also took over a space downtown.
They're doing something for South By where they have like...
They built a western town and they basically like,
they basically revamped this entire bar so they have like the stacks from the movie in one area and
the Oasis in another area. I think that's right you loaned me ready for one, you're the one I borrowed from.
I did, yeah. Yeah, not the movie. And a few of us had went there to the place and
While we were there we heard rumors that the main character of the movie I forget his name the actor
I
Yeah, I don't know his name either
Tess Sherry's an Austin local yeah, apparently
We were like hanging out all of a sudden we hear people cheering
He starts DJing at this party, but he's DJing in VR.
So we see the screens on what he's looking at.
But it's from an audience perspective, so boring,
because all you see is just like...
Watching someone in VR.
Someone just like this.
Yeah, VR is hard to sell from an audience standpoint.
It's like watching someone else.
It's like watching someone else the products. It really is.
And everyone was there with their cameras waiting for him
to take off the things so I could get a picture of him
because like it was just him with this giant
VR goggle thing on the whole time.
And it does present, and I think one of the biggest
challenges for the movie is showing the real world
and where the oasis, this VR environment is so important
to everybody all over the world.
But showing them using it still comes across as dorky
and like, oh my God.
Yeah, it looks bad every single time.
Yeah, every single time.
It's a, but that's also realistic in a way, you know.
It's what's it's set in 2045?
Is that it?
Yeah, in 2040.
2045.
So I remember like reading the book,
they said they had like even like the hand stuff
that they could have more.
Yeah, gloves. Yeah, and haptic suits and stuff like that chairs. I think in the in the
You're able to walk yeah, a lot of that stuff is showing how they do that stuff and showing the virtual out in my name is cool
And it's like I mean really I mean this we're headed this way
I mean, there's gonna be something like the oasis probably in our lifetime
Well, our chat is the first step. Yeah, something like that very much
It was uh, cheesy. It was something.
I think a while has been like the first step
or big MMOs, you know.
But.
Excuse me, every question would like a word.
All right.
And before that,
ultimately online would like a word.
What was when you played?
Everquest.
You were in a request, yeah.
Well, excuse me, then,
MUDs would like a word.
Yeah.
Adventure. I like words. I used to play what I wanted, I was sojourn mud. I think it was what it was called so fucking stare at a a block of text
Well, that was my video. That was my game
So any other comments that we can make watch the it's gonna be on the no we're gonna do a mini cast
For any player one. Yeah, this will be spoiler free. We'll do a spoiler cast later
But it feels weird to do a spoiler cast before it's out for anyone to watch. Yeah. This is gonna be spoiler free. We'll do a spoiler cast later, but it feels weird to do a spoiler cast
before it's out for anyone to watch.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Spoiler free.
Because I wouldn't wanna do that
because then people would then probably weaponize that.
Yeah.
And like watch it and then just spoil it
for people in comments.
Why do people do that?
I don't understand.
Yeah.
I don't understand.
Yeah, it was so sad.
We went to the premiere and they even like Spielberg
and his crew up there and they were asking like,
hey, if you guys could try to avoid a couple,
like some of these made like,
they point out a few of the major spoilers
that were big surprises, that were things
that weren't really in the book.
And like, if you guys could avoid that.
And I have like, like I had a faith in people in the audience
that they would do it, but there's been reviews
that completely already spoiled major parts of the movie.
Of course.
You know, it's funny because funny because we talk about spoilers.
I remember one time, there's words that sometimes
they have a negative connotation,
but then they grow to be beyond what the thing,
like people don't know what the word means anymore.
I remember one time I was with a game developer
and they were talking about someone was going to be putting out
a spoiler cast for the story of their game before the DLC came out.
And I was like, why would people do that? Why would people intentionally spoil it for people
that they're doing? No, it's a warning that they're going to be talking in depth about the plot
of your game, not that they're trying to tell people, like ruin it for people. They're warning people
don't watch this in case she want to ruin it. And to me, the phrase that's being perverted,
I think the most now, is the phrase pay to
win.
Pay to win is what people say about something when they just don't like it.
That's like, if something has transactions, and like, they say, oh, this game's pay to
win.
I don't know about that.
I wouldn't go that far.
I hear it all the time.
I'm afraid something like Fortnite is pay to win.
How is Fortnite pay to win?
It's cosmetic.
I don't know.
Yeah.
What they saying that about when PUBG was adding the lutes as well, they were like, oh, it's
pay to win now. No, it's just don't know. Yeah. What they saying that about when PUBG was adding the lutes as well, they were like, oh, it's paid a win, no, it's just get a skirt.
Yeah.
I mean, if you win by getting a checkered jacket.
I've never gotten that skirt.
I would wear the head out of that skirt if I got it.
I have found it twice in game.
And both times I put it on, I was killed immediately.
Oh, bummer.
Oh, I'm at like, I want to get it for my inventory.
Like, I saw I didn't actually got to wear it.
I have a cowboy hat in PUBG that I love. But as soon as I get a helmet, it's gone. I want to get it for my inventory. Like I saw I didn't actually got to wear it. I have a cowboy hat and PUBG that I love,
but as soon as I get a helmet, it's gone.
I have to in real life.
Give me that cowboy hat.
I need a mind's brain.
No, somewhere in between the two.
All right, so we'll come watch the mini cast
for Ready Player One on the note.
On the note, thanks Ash.
Thank you.
I can have filmed.
Did you see that Giro Diltoro's launching
that scholarship to promote film students in
Mexico?
No, really?
Yeah.
That's cool.
I saw it announced that I think the Hollywood Reporter tweeted about it.
And of course, you immediately, I was like, I want to see what the replies to this are.
Someone was like, can you imagine if instead of saying scholarship for Mexicans, it's
it's scholarship for white Americans?
I'm like, you realize that they're using the word Mexicans to mean citizens of the country, Mexico, right?
It's like, oh, God.
It's just so fucking toxic and awful.
I was like, that's a person I'm gonna put on mute,
even though I've never interacted with them.
But Gus, what about men's international day?
Which exists, by the way.
It does exist.
Fuck outta here.
Great, great times.
But Gus, what about?
What about? What about my time? Okay. What about my time? Okay. What great times. But Gus, what about? What about?
What about my time?
Okay.
What about my time?
I know I get a moment.
So I just recently learned about the story and I guess it took a while for it to come out
anyway.
And I don't know if it's true or not, but it came up when Guillermo Datoro won the,
we won the best picture for Shave of Water.
I never fucking heard the story.
Apparently, when Guillermo Dutorro was working on mimic
way back in the day, was it?
You know in that?
Yeah, it was Miro Sorvino.
That was like, oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Don't talk again, mimic.
Yeah, I didn't know you had that.
It's one of his first movies.
Yeah, wow.
He did mimic and I remember that movie.
Apparently during that process,
his father was kidnapped in Mexico.
What?
And the kidnappers demanded something like a million or two million, two million or two
million dollar ransom.
Oh my God.
And it was completely derailing the movie and everything like that.
And because this is fucking incredible, because they were good friends and they got to know
each other.
However, the savior eventually arrived in the form of one of the greatest directors,
the action genre has ever produced.
James Cameron, Del Toro and James Cameron were old friends having met during the pre-production
of Del Toro's 1993 called hit Kronos.
The pair struck up a lasting friendship thanks to their mutual passion for all things
cinema over the next couple of years, et cetera, et cetera.
Eventually James Cameron learned of Delta or his father's kidnapping and without hesitation
he immediately sought out his old friend and took him directly to a bank where he handed
over $1 million in cash to him.
Wow.
It was a 97 by the one from.
Is that yeah, it was a long time ago.
Oh, shit.
That's a friend.
Dude, yeah, that's right or die.
Hey, Bernie, would you pay for if I got kidnapped?
If you got kidnapped, yeah, I bet you get you back.
Not you, you're gonna be a million though.
I mean, I'd be like, let's negotiate.
Wait, how much do you think I would be?
How much for just the hair?
That's what I'd say.
Can we get that back?
That's the most valuable.
How much of my insured under Bernie's hostage,
do you know?
Can I be honest, I don't even wanna have this conversation.
I really don't.
I don't wanna talk about stuff like this in my hair.
No, I mean, it's just like, you're right.
Yeah, no, I hope nothing bad ever happens to you, John.
God, that's crazy.
But this is an incredible story to me.
And apparently they went and paid the,
from what I can tell, they paid the ransomware,
are they kidnapped, person, then that's it?
Like never, I know.
That way, with the paying and then.
Who knows if you ever got his money back or if you just like here's
Here's a million that's still that's still like
Like in some most ways best case scenario of like that kind of a situation paid the money that's the person back. They're fine
Yeah, yeah, right? Yeah
That's unbelievable
I'm getting this story from cinema blend.com. It's an article from three years ago.
That's amazing. That's a true story. And then the story is actually what now? 20 years ago,
20 years old at this point. Yeah, that's crazy. That's crazy. And it's like, it's really interesting,
because seeing Steven Spielberg on stage last night, and then you see the speech that you're
able to tour all made at the Oscars, there's just like, that seemed like the sweetest, nicest people on the planet.
Like Spielberg just rolls out, he's got sneakers on.
He's legitimately seemed nervous.
He reminds me of my dad.
He's a little bit, yeah.
Just like, friendlies.
Like super nice.
Yeah, super nice.
And I'm sure, you don't get to that level as a director
and I'm sure he's like demanding.
Sure.
Yeah, but I mean his, the persona is definitely,
just seems like the nicest dude on the planet. Like having a good time. Like he was nervous, he had notes. Yeah, but I mean his, the persona is definitely just seems like the nicest dude on the planet.
Like having a good time.
Like he was nervous.
He had notes.
Yeah, I want to, I want to, I worked in this movie for three years.
I don't want to mess this up in the next three minutes.
So I'm just going to read from these cards.
He walked out on stage and they introduced him and people started applauding.
And then when he came out, people went even more nuts.
And when he heard them go nuts, he even like was getting a little like,
he liked a little like like kick,
like he was like like in a shy of like,
how much attention was being given to him in that audience.
Yeah.
What a good guy.
And then even the director of the South by Southwest film festival,
she was standing there, she introduced him.
And then he did this whole thing and read it and go,
so hope you really enjoy the movie.
And then he's like stood there for like a second
and then he goes, what do I do now?
Do I get to like, do you get a talk now?
After her.
And it was like this moment,
just like in this human moment,
this is like this guy's like a cinema, God.
I mean, I grew up watching this.
So you saying I stood on the same stage as Steven Spielberg?
Yeah, you did.
You were on the same stage.
Although he came after.
Yeah, so he stood in the same stage as Barbara Dunkelman.
Oh, you were on the same stage as
John Krizinski was right before you guys. Oh my God. So he directed that quiet place too. Yeah, I
think that's the goal. Where was Pam? Where was he just where was Pam? Where was Pam? I love John
Cole. How big is her head? I love John Krizinski. She was in Ready Player One. They run through the
office at one point. Yeah, really, really quick cut. I would love to She was in Ready Player One. They run through the office at one point. Yeah. It was really, really quick cut.
I would love to see somebody after Ready Player One comes out, catalog every single fucking
reference.
There's too much.
There's too much.
There's too much.
There's too much.
There's too much.
I think there was like a video someone put up on YouTube like just identifying all the
references just in the trailer and it's like I can't wait for the steamed hams, but
it's Ready Player One video.
What?
Did we all not see these a million steamed hams video?
Yeah, it's a meme online right now.
I love steamed hams.
See, this is it.
This is on time, it's a meme culture.
It's like, this is where we are now, you know.
It's, you can say that Ready Player One is,
like, I don't know.
It's, if there is like geek culture,
it's like geek culture appropriation. It's a fan service movie. It is, like fan service or whatever. It's pand if there is like geek culture, it's like geek culture appropriation.
It's a fan service movie.
It is a fan service or whatever.
It's pandering or whatever.
But this is actually what people do online.
This is what they do.
And this is also where I complain about people,
complaining about that about the film,
because it's based on a book that already tells you.
You know what you're getting.
This is what the book is about.
Yeah.
This is what you're getting into. And then it's like, well, we made a movie based on this
book.
Surprise.
It's a bunch of pop culture.
You know what you signed up for?
Yeah.
It's like, don't get mad at people for enjoying it.
If you got critiques about the movie, cool.
Bring those up.
And also just that whole, like, the Twitter thing is, like, there's like a culture of people
who tell you you're
Directly to your face that you're wrong for liking something. I got I critique about stuff But I don't go up to someone go no no no you're wrong. You should not have liked that
Speaking of which the last Jedi does come out on digital tomorrow and I'm blu-raying two weeks and that that that documentary's on it. Yeah, this is a good dark
That's fast very quick. Yeah, they They were giving out a free digital copy.
That was a fucking Christmas.
It was like a weird clip.
It's out on home videos.
It's just getting shorter and shorter now, isn't it, guys?
Good, I like that.
I like it too.
I like it too.
Remember when they was like all these companies?
Isn't there a film?
I saw a commercial the other day for a film
that they build.
It's like still in theaters or you can watch it at home.
Well, that happens a lot.
Is it a annihilation?
No, it's like, no, it's not a annihilation.
But it's not an annihilation.
But annihilation is in the Netflix in Europe now.
It's their international.
Yeah, yeah.
And then it's issues with Netflix.
Let me look at movies that are out there.
Oh, I love that movie.
I liked it.
The annihilation was so good.
It fucked me up a little bit.
It's, to me, it's like old school.
Oh, Jumanji.
Jumanji, the rock one?
The new one?
Yeah.
Oh, but it's still in theaters, but it's been out for a while. It's been out, yeah. I guess. It's surprising as well as much people didn't want to see the rock one the new one yeah but it's still in theaters but it's been out for a while yeah yeah I get surprised
and well as much people didn't want to like it I went and saw the movie actually for some reason
want to see it per did you see it I thought it was fine did you not like it oh really
I like the logic not you mind you know I know annihilation I like a lot I just don't think a lot
of people yeah but the sci-fi is hard dude if you If you go, that's what I felt about Blade Runner.
I was like, that's what I told everyone. They said, should I go watch it? I was like, did
you like the first Blade Runner? If you don't answer him enthusiastically, yes, don't watch it.
Don't watch it. Wow. Yeah. Really? Really? Don't you don't, don't you?
Don't you don't enthusiastically like the original Blade Runner? Don't go see 24 nights?
That's my opinion. Yes. I think that it's, it's, it's very much that kind of movie. It's like
slow and methodical. And you have to, in my opinion,
you have to love that world and know it.
You know, I actually have mixed feelings
about the original and loved the remake.
Interesting.
You might be the first person, I've heard say that then.
What about, I think I, I, I, I want to make the,
Internet angry.
I think the first one is overrated.
What, the first blade runner's overrated?
I love that first one.
I heard an audible whistle.
Yeah. Across the room. Yeah, it's okay. Come at one. We heard an audible whistle from across the room.
Yeah, it's okay.
Come at me.
Well, we got a wrap up.
Have you seen the Nylation?
I haven't.
I really need to say that.
See, that's what I would say.
I say, did you like the last 30 minutes?
Did you get something out of the last 30 minutes of 2000
on a space odyssey?
If you did, then yes.
That's interesting thing to say.
Yeah, well, it's just like,
it's easy when you make a movie about aliens or something
that the aliens are like people and talk to us. But if you don't know how to interact with Yeah, well, it's just like, it's easy when you make a movie about aliens or something that
the aliens are like people and talk to us, but if you don't know how to interact with whatever
this energy being or whatever they are, you know. Yeah, I didn't like at the end of my
annihilation when they showed up and they were taking the form of the Nally Department's father
and they wanted to talk to her. Stop it, that's not going to happen.
