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,
Starting point is 00:02:20 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.
Starting point is 00:02:34 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.
Starting point is 00:02:51 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.
Starting point is 00:03:02 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.
Starting point is 00:03:14 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.
Starting point is 00:03:27 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
Starting point is 00:03:44 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.
Starting point is 00:04:07 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.
Starting point is 00:04:23 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.
Starting point is 00:04:38 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.
Starting point is 00:04:58 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
Starting point is 00:05:19 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.
Starting point is 00:05:39 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.
Starting point is 00:05:53 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.
Starting point is 00:06:02 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.
Starting point is 00:06:20 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
Starting point is 00:06:43 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
Starting point is 00:06:58 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.
Starting point is 00:07:21 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,
Starting point is 00:07:38 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
Starting point is 00:07:51 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.
Starting point is 00:08:04 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?
Starting point is 00:08:20 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.
Starting point is 00:08:40 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
Starting point is 00:08:58 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.
Starting point is 00:09:27 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
Starting point is 00:09:37 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
Starting point is 00:09:51 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
Starting point is 00:10:01 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,
Starting point is 00:10:15 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.
Starting point is 00:10:25 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.
Starting point is 00:10:39 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?
Starting point is 00:10:51 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.
Starting point is 00:11:08 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?
Starting point is 00:11:16 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
Starting point is 00:11:28 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,
Starting point is 00:11:52 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.
Starting point is 00:12:06 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,
Starting point is 00:12:37 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,
Starting point is 00:12:50 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,
Starting point is 00:13:08 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.
Starting point is 00:13:30 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.
Starting point is 00:13:45 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.
Starting point is 00:14:01 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,
Starting point is 00:14:18 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.
Starting point is 00:14:30 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,
Starting point is 00:14:46 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
Starting point is 00:15:03 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.
Starting point is 00:15:27 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,
Starting point is 00:15:37 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.
Starting point is 00:15:56 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
Starting point is 00:16:13 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.
Starting point is 00:16:33 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
Starting point is 00:16:51 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.
Starting point is 00:17:32 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.
Starting point is 00:17:48 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.
Starting point is 00:18:01 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.
Starting point is 00:18:08 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?
Starting point is 00:18:20 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
Starting point is 00:18:38 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,
Starting point is 00:18:53 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.
Starting point is 00:19:04 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.
Starting point is 00:19:12 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.
Starting point is 00:19:29 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,
Starting point is 00:19:39 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.
Starting point is 00:19:50 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.

Starting point is 00:22:36 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.
Starting point is 00:22:49 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.
Starting point is 00:23:02 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
Starting point is 00:23:13 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
Starting point is 00:23:40 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.
Starting point is 00:23:56 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.
Starting point is 00:24:05 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.
Starting point is 00:24:16 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,
Starting point is 00:24:33 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.
Starting point is 00:24:46 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?
Starting point is 00:24:57 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.
Starting point is 00:25:27 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
Starting point is 00:25:37 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.
Starting point is 00:26:02 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.
Starting point is 00:26:16 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.
Starting point is 00:26:32 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.
Starting point is 00:26:42 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.
Starting point is 00:26:53 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.
Starting point is 00:27:01 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,
Starting point is 00:27:15 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,
Starting point is 00:27:30 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.
Starting point is 00:27:47 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,
Starting point is 00:28:01 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.
Starting point is 00:28:14 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
Starting point is 00:28:29 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.
Starting point is 00:28:44 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,
Starting point is 00:28:56 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
Starting point is 00:29:06 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.
Starting point is 00:29:24 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
Starting point is 00:30:00 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.
Starting point is 00:30:22 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
Starting point is 00:30:40 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,
Starting point is 00:30:54 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
Starting point is 00:31:10 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.
Starting point is 00:31:37 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
Starting point is 00:31:56 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.
Starting point is 00:32:22 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.
Starting point is 00:32:40 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,
Starting point is 00:33:08 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.
Starting point is 00:33:35 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.
Starting point is 00:33:50 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,
Starting point is 00:34:14 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,
Starting point is 00:34:31 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
Starting point is 00:34:44 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
Starting point is 00:35:03 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?
Starting point is 00:35:23 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.
Starting point is 00:35:35 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.
Starting point is 00:35:50 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?
Starting point is 00:36:03 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?
Starting point is 00:36:16 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
Starting point is 00:36:31 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.
Starting point is 00:36:42 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.
Starting point is 00:36:56 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
Starting point is 00:37:10 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.
Starting point is 00:37:21 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
Starting point is 00:37:35 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.
Starting point is 00:37:46 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
Starting point is 00:38:03 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.
Starting point is 00:38:14 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.
Starting point is 00:38:29 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,
Starting point is 00:38:43 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.
Starting point is 00:39:15 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
Starting point is 00:39:29 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.
Starting point is 00:39:44 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
Starting point is 00:40:13 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
Starting point is 00:40:34 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.
Starting point is 00:41:06 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
Starting point is 00:41:16 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
Starting point is 00:41:29 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
Starting point is 00:41:56 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.
Starting point is 00:42:14 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?
Starting point is 00:42:26 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
Starting point is 00:42:39 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.
Starting point is 00:42:52 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
Starting point is 00:43:06 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.
Starting point is 00:43:20 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?
Starting point is 00:43:31 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,
Starting point is 00:43:44 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:46:25 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.
Starting point is 00:46:57 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
Starting point is 00:47:10 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.
Starting point is 00:47:24 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?
Starting point is 00:47:45 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
Starting point is 00:48:10 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
Starting point is 00:48:24 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
Starting point is 00:48:40 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,
Starting point is 00:48:58 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.
Starting point is 00:49:12 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?
Starting point is 00:49:25 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
Starting point is 00:49:46 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,
Starting point is 00:50:20 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.
Starting point is 00:50:34 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.
Starting point is 00:50:43 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.
Starting point is 00:51:03 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.
Starting point is 00:51:15 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.
Starting point is 00:51:33 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.
Starting point is 00:51:41 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.
Starting point is 00:51:51 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.
Starting point is 00:52:10 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.
Starting point is 00:52:25 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.
Starting point is 00:52:49 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.
Starting point is 00:53:01 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.
Starting point is 00:53:12 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,
Starting point is 00:53:26 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.
Starting point is 00:53:42 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.
Starting point is 00:53:58 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?
Starting point is 00:54:10 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.
Starting point is 00:54:18 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,
Starting point is 00:54:39 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.
Starting point is 00:55:01 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
Starting point is 00:55:17 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
Starting point is 00:55:29 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,
Starting point is 00:55:45 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.
Starting point is 00:56:01 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,
Starting point is 00:56:14 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.
Starting point is 00:56:24 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.
Starting point is 00:56:37 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
Starting point is 00:56:51 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
Starting point is 00:57:06 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?
Starting point is 00:57:24 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,
Starting point is 00:57:39 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
Starting point is 00:58:05 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
Starting point is 00:58:23 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.
Starting point is 00:58:48 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.
Starting point is 00:58:59 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
Starting point is 00:59:19 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?
Starting point is 00:59:32 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.
Starting point is 00:59:42 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
Starting point is 01:00:12 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.
Starting point is 01:00:29 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?
Starting point is 01:00:42 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.
Starting point is 01:00:59 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.
Starting point is 01:01:10 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.
Starting point is 01:01:30 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.
Starting point is 01:01:43 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.
Starting point is 01:02:03 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.
Starting point is 01:02:17 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.
Starting point is 01:02:34 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.
Starting point is 01:02:43 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
Starting point is 01:02:55 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
Starting point is 01:03:12 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
Starting point is 01:03:37 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,
Starting point is 01:03:49 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.
Starting point is 01:03:58 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
Starting point is 01:04:15 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.
Starting point is 01:04:33 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?
Starting point is 01:04:45 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?
Starting point is 01:04:56 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.
Starting point is 01:05:25 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
Starting point is 01:05:39 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
Starting point is 01:05:50 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
Starting point is 01:06:03 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.
Starting point is 01:06:29 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.
Starting point is 01:06:44 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
Starting point is 01:06:58 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
Starting point is 01:07:15 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.
Starting point is 01:07:29 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.
Starting point is 01:07:44 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
Starting point is 01:08:04 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.
Starting point is 01:08:23 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
Starting point is 01:08:40 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.
Starting point is 01:08:55 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
Starting point is 01:09:16 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.
Starting point is 01:09:41 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.
Starting point is 01:09:55 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
Starting point is 01:10:19 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.
Starting point is 01:10:35 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
Starting point is 01:10:48 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,
Starting point is 01:10:56 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.
Starting point is 01:11:05 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.
Starting point is 01:11:14 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
Starting point is 01:11:34 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.
Starting point is 01:11:52 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.
Starting point is 01:12:08 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
Starting point is 01:12:30 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
Starting point is 01:12:45 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?
Starting point is 01:13:08 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?
Starting point is 01:13:17 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?
Starting point is 01:13:25 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.
Starting point is 01:13:39 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.
Starting point is 01:14:06 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
Starting point is 01:14:23 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
Starting point is 01:14:41 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
Starting point is 01:14:59 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?
Starting point is 01:15:17 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.
Starting point is 01:15:45 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.
Starting point is 01:16:01 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
Starting point is 01:16:16 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.
Starting point is 01:16:49 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.
Starting point is 01:17:09 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.
Starting point is 01:17:21 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.
Starting point is 01:17:44 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.
Starting point is 01:18:00 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,
Starting point is 01:18:34 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?
Starting point is 01:18:55 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
Starting point is 01:19:14 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.
Starting point is 01:19:30 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.
Starting point is 01:19:42 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?
Starting point is 01:19:54 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
Starting point is 01:20:33 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.
Starting point is 01:20:53 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.
Starting point is 01:21:13 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.
Starting point is 01:21:30 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.
Starting point is 01:21:44 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.
Starting point is 01:22:11 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.
Starting point is 01:22:20 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
Starting point is 01:22:45 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.
Starting point is 01:22:55 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,
Starting point is 01:23:06 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.
Starting point is 01:23:21 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
Starting point is 01:23:41 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.
Starting point is 01:24:10 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.
Starting point is 01:24:21 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.
Starting point is 01:24:33 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.
Starting point is 01:24:49 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.
Starting point is 01:25:01 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.
Starting point is 01:25:17 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?
Starting point is 01:25:38 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.
Starting point is 01:25:47 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
Starting point is 01:26:07 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.
Starting point is 01:26:16 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.
Starting point is 01:26:34 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
Starting point is 01:27:02 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.
Starting point is 01:27:21 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?
Starting point is 01:27:36 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.
Starting point is 01:27:48 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.
Starting point is 01:28:03 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,
Starting point is 01:28:29 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.
Starting point is 01:28:55 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.
Starting point is 01:29:07 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,
Starting point is 01:29:25 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,
Starting point is 01:29:39 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.
Starting point is 01:29:53 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
Starting point is 01:30:10 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.
Starting point is 01:30:35 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.
Starting point is 01:30:51 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.
Starting point is 01:31:05 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.
Starting point is 01:31:20 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?
Starting point is 01:31:33 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
Starting point is 01:32:01 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.
Starting point is 01:32:13 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.
Starting point is 01:32:25 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.
Starting point is 01:32:35 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
Starting point is 01:32:47 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?
Starting point is 01:33:17 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,
Starting point is 01:33:37 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.
Starting point is 01:33:48 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?
Starting point is 01:33:57 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
